In fact, Jiang Manyue wanted to refuse. She didn't really want to perform on stage, but an all-English stage play was indeed a challenge for a freshman majoring in English. Not many people could participate, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
When Cheng Nana saw Jiang Manyue agreed, she also agreed. After all, they were in the same dormitory, so there was nothing wrong with participating in a stage play together.
The plan to participate in the stage play was decided. When the script was handed to them, Jiang Manyue discovered that her role was quite heavy. Not only did she have a lot of lines, but she also had to appear on stage many times, which would definitely be difficult to rehearse.
And most importantly, she originally wanted to invite Lu Lin to watch her first stage play, but it turned out that her character was a couple with another male character, and they confessed their feelings to each other in English and even hugged each other. If Lu Lin saw this, it would be disastrous!
Although he didn't understand English, anyone could understand what the two people meant by their affectionate conversation and hug.
After reading the script, Jiang Manyue immediately gave up the idea of inviting Lu Lin to watch her stage play debut. She still wanted her slim waist!
After the rehearsal began, Jiang Manyue had to spend a lot of time rehearsing lines with other actors in addition to attending classes every day. She even memorized her lines after returning home at night.
She had a lot of lines, and they were very complicated. Jiang Manyue didn't have that much time, so she could only take time out at night to memorize them.
Lu Lin didn't understand English, and seeing how serious she was, he thought she was reciting the content of her major course.
"Are you going to take an exam soon? Why are you so busy all of a sudden? Are you still memorizing the text so late at night?"
Hearing Lu Lin's casual question, Jiang Manyue closed the script and felt a little guilty.
"It wasn't an exam, but my major was going to put on an all-English stage play. Since I'm good at speaking English, they gave me a role with a lot of lines."
Jiang Manyue briefly explained what happened, but she didn't dare say that her character had a lot of rival scenes with others, and there was also a confession segment.
Lu Lin became interested. "Are you performing in a stage play? Can your family members go to watch?"
Jiang Manyue quickly shook her head, "Family members shouldn't be allowed to watch performances inside our school."
Lu Lin felt a little regretful that Jiang Manyue was not allowed to watch her first stage play.
However, since it was a school rule, Lu Lin didn't say much. He just asked Jiang Manyue to recite it tomorrow. It was so late and she should rest.
Jiang Manyue fell asleep obediently, feeling a little guilty, and hugged Lu Lin silently.
Lu Lin didn't know what she was thinking. He gently kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep."
Jiang Manyue went to bed with a guilty feeling, and was still depressed the next day.
She was a little reluctant to perform in this stage play. Although it was just a stage play, she just felt a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Nana seemed to notice that she was in a low mood and poked her, "What's wrong with you? You've been in a bad mood since you came here today."
Jiang Manyue thought about it and decided to tell her what she was thinking.
"I wanted to tell the teacher that I would not be acting in this play anymore because this character interacts too much with another character. My husband knew I was going to be in a play yesterday and wanted to come, but I didn't dare let him come."
Cheng Nana tilted her head and looked at her, "Are you afraid that your lover will be angry? But this is a stage play, not real."
Jiang Manyue sighed, "I know this is a stage play, but I just can't get over it."
Cheng Nana thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you tell your husband that this is the role you've been assigned to him? Be frank and explain it to him. Otherwise, if he finds out, he might misunderstand you."
Jiang Manyue looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect that she was so insightful and her words were so to the point.
Cheng Nana was a little confused. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "No, you're right. I should have made it clear to him. I don't think he's that stingy. At worst, I can compensate him when the time comes."
Cheng Nana was curious, "How to compensate?"
Jiang Manyue poked her forehead with a finger and said, "Children, don't ask questions about adults' affairs."
Cheng Nana was dissatisfied, "I'm already nineteen! Technically speaking, I'll be twenty after my birthday in July!"
Jiang Manyue touched her head lovingly and said, "You are also a child. I am already married and have four children. What about you?"
Cheng Nana felt deflated and sat aside angrily, ignoring Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue felt more and more that Cheng Nana was really cute. If she treated her as a child who was not very sensible, she would not think she was that difficult to deal with.
After class that day, Jiang Manyue went home and told Lu Lin about the stage play.
"The role I play in the stage play is the wife of another character. There's a heartfelt confession, but it's in English, and there's also a passionate hug. I didn't tell you last night because I was afraid you'd be upset, but after thinking about it today, I feel like I should tell you to avoid any misunderstandings when you find out."
Jiang Manyue blinked frantically, "You won't be unhappy, right?"
Lu Lin laughed, "Am I such a stingy person in your eyes?"
Jiang Manyue said seriously, "Because loving someone means you become petty and won't allow anyone else to get close to him!"
Lu Lin pinched her face and said, "It's the task required by the school. You just completed it as required. I won't be unhappy. However, I want to watch your performance."
Jiang Manyue said shyly, "Do you really want to go and see it?"
Lu Lin nodded firmly, "I'll see."
Jiang Manyue thought that since Lu Lin said he wouldn't be unhappy, it should be okay to let him go to the party, so she agreed directly.
On the day of the party, Lu Lin drove Jiang Manyue directly to school and entered the campus of Jingshi University for the first time.
"I'm going backstage to get ready. You just sit in the audience and wait for me to go on stage. I think I'm the eighth act, so be careful not to miss it."
Jiang Manyue arranged Lu Lin to sit next to Guo Aiju and He Hui, and introduced Lu Lin to them.
Although Lu Lin greeted them politely, Guo Aijuan and He Hui felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when they saw Lu Lin in his military uniform. Those sitting next to him couldn't help but straighten their backs and sit up straight.
Lu Lin's military uniform also attracted a lot of attention. He could hear some people whispering, wondering why he came to watch the performance.
But Lu Lin didn't care. He sat upright, his attention focused on the stage.
Jiang Manyue was the eighth performer in the stage play. Lu Lin waited for a long time before she finally appeared on stage with her skirt lifted.
Lu Lin's first reaction when he saw Jiang Manyue appear was that she was so beautiful, and he couldn't help but curl up a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.
But when he saw the next boy who came on stage, grabbing Jiang Manyue's hand and mumbling something incoherently, Lu Lin's face darkened.
