The proposal to write a play received a warm response from all the students in the department. Even Wei Zhenhua and others praised and supported it.

The next step was a heated script discussion session. The person who suggested writing their own play was a male student named Qi Jianxin. He then gathered several classmates who were eager to try and participate in script writing. Other classmates actively put forward ideas, and finally they started writing.

Jiang Suishun couldn't help but admire the efficiency of college students these days. After making the decision on the spot, they started thinking about the plot right away. With each of them talking, they soon came up with an outline of the story.

Jiang Suishun summarized as she listened, this was probably a love story between four people triggered by the educated youth going to the countryside in the 1950s and 1960s.

The hero and the heroine were originally a pair of childhood sweethearts in the city, and they secretly promised to be together forever. But after the news of the conscription to the countryside came, the hero left his hometown to respond to the call of the country and was forced to separate from the heroine. Before the separation, the two agreed that the heroine would wait for him to come back.

At this time, the second female lead, who had secretly liked the male lead for a long time, quietly followed the male lead to the countryside. In the long and difficult years that followed, the male lead fell in love with the second female lead and developed a firm revolutionary friendship. At the same time, he gradually grew up from a superficial young man with some petty bourgeois sentiments to a promising young man who was determined to contribute to the development of the country. In the end, the male lead and the second female lead decided to go to the west together to support the country, and never returned to their hometown again.

On the other hand, the heroine, who had lost contact with the hero without knowing it, was still waiting for him. There was also a male second who secretly liked her, but the heroine refused the pressure from her family and the male second who waited for her affectionately. She insisted on waiting from the best of times to the end of youth, but in the end she never waited for the hero to come back. The male second was also obsessed with the heroine, so he stubbornly waited for her and never married.

Jiang Sui Sui: ...I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s a complicated love story that fits the background of the times very well.

Wei Zhenhua was very interested: "Yes, the whole story is divided into two perspectives. The hero's perspective focuses on personal growth and ideological changes, while the heroine's perspective focuses on love and family conflicts."

Qi Jianxin was very excited by Wei Zhenhua's exaggeration and enthusiastically invited him to join in. Wei Zhenhua waved his hands, smiled and said nothing.

After Qi Jianxin and the others finalized the plot outline, they couldn't wait to start casting: "Let's decide on the four main characters today. The other roles can be decided later after the script is out. Does anyone have any suggestions for the main characters? Anyone who wants to participate can also raise their hands and sign up."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qianyun immediately raised her hand: "Me, me, me! I'll sign up!"

Among the freshmen in the Chinese Department, the one with the best appearance is undoubtedly Zhao Qianyun, who has bright eyes, white teeth, and is pretty and charming. When she wanted to play a role, no one had any objection.

Qi Jianxin looked at her and smiled, "Thank you for your willingness to participate, Zhao. I had the same idea. I think you are very suitable for the leading female role."

Zhao Qianyun put down her hand immediately after hearing this and said, "No, no, I don't want to play the leading female role, I want to play the second female role!"

Qi Jianxin was a little surprised: "Student Zhao, you... the role of the leading actress is very suitable for your image. Don't you really want to consider it?"

In fact, what he wanted to say was that the image of the leading actress, a well-behaved girl from a small town, was more in line with Zhao Qianyun's family background. When Zhao Qianyun stood there, others could tell at a glance that she came from a superior family.

However, Zhao Qianyun shook her head vigorously and said, "I think the role of the second female lead is more attractive to me! Tough and persistent, and has the courage to pursue true love! I believe I can play this role well, please support me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone applauded and cheered for her. Qi Jianxin no longer insisted and decided on the spot that Zhao Qianyun would be the second female lead.

Afterwards, the leading male role was also taken by a freshman who took the initiative to step forward.

But when it came to the leading female role and the second male role, there was a sudden freeze. Everyone looked at each other, some expectant but some hesitant.

"This leading actress has been thinking about love all her life. Her level of thinking is far inferior to that of the second leading actress..."

"It's the same with the second male lead. He doesn't think about how to build the motherland, but just hangs around the first female lead all day long."

"I think why don't we focus on the male lead's story and just casually mention the female lead's side."

After listening to everyone's discussion, Wei Zhenhua shook his head and said, "Literary creation is to reflect the various aspects of life. If you don't show it just because a character has shortcomings, then the meaning of creation is lost."

Jiang Suinshun nodded in agreement.

Most importantly, she doesn't think that being the leading actress is a bad thing. A woman who keeps her promise and devotes her youth to it should not be rejected even if she is a little love-minded.

If she were to say so, it should be the male lead who broke the appointment without any reason and without any fate that had a problem. If he changed his mind, couldn't he just write a letter to the female lead? If he just casually cut off contact, wouldn't that be a waste of someone's life?

Qi Jianxin noticed Jiang Suishun's movements and suddenly called her out, "Student Jiang, do you have any ideas? If you were asked to play the leading female role, would you be willing?"

"Ah?" Jiang Suunshun was still immersed in the plot. When her name was suddenly called, she went from being confused to frightened, "Me?!"

Qi Jianxin nodded and said, "Yes, are you willing to play the leading female role?"

In fact, Qi Jianxin had his own ideas about the roles from the beginning. He wanted to recommend Zhao Qianyun as the female lead and Jiang Suishun as the female No. 2 if no one raised their hands. One of them is cute and the other is beautiful, which completely fits his imagination of the two heroines.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Qianyun took the initiative to ask for the second female role first, and now the two of them switched... Qi Jianxin thought about it and felt that it seemed suitable.

Zhao Qianyun on the side urged excitedly: "Sui Sui, hurry up and agree, so that we can act together!"

Jiang Suisui: ...It seems like the first and second female characters don’t have much rivalry, right?

She opened her mouth slightly and was about to refuse, but Li Chunjiao beside her suddenly started yelling, "Yes, yes, she is willing!"

Li Chunjiao came over and raised Jiang Suisui's hand, shouting, "We all support her in playing the leading female role!"

Several roommates who didn't know what was going on also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we support it."

"Okay!" Before Jiang Sunshun could say anything, Qi Jianxin quickly made the decision, "Then our female lead is Jiang Sunshun. Now the only male lead left is the second male lead. Who wants to raise their hand?"

Jiang Sui Sui: Wait... is it decided just like that?!

Jiang Suisui turned to look at Li Chunjiao who had just made a fuss, and said helplessly: "Student Li Chunjiao, I think I didn't say anything just now, why are you so active?"

Li Chunjiao said indifferently: "I am doing this for your own good, for the good of our dormitory. It is such an honor to be the protagonist of the freshman convention program!"

Zhao Qianyun also said happily: "Yes, Sui Sui! There is a leading lady and a secondary lady in our dormitory, how great!"

Li Chunjiao smiled secretly. This leading actress was so stupid and foolish, and her thinking was so backward. She was just acting to be scolded. When Jiang Suisui lost face in front of all the teachers and students in the school, she would see how she could continue to act so arrogantly in front of her.

Jiang Sui Sui didn't dislike the role, but... she couldn't act at all! Just imagining herself acting in front of so many people made her feel so embarrassed that her scalp was numb.

Who was the one who just listened to the program with great interest and was so excited that he thought there was something to watch?! Jiang Suisui really wanted to knock on his head and make you laugh! Now he wants to cry but has no tears.

Jiang Suishun completely lost his soul and lay on the table, wondering how he was going to get through this embarrassing freshman orientation.

Thinking that Song Wei Zheng would also be watching her performance in the audience, Jiang Suishun suddenly felt so ashamed that she wanted to cover her face.

At this moment, cheers suddenly broke out from all around, and Li Chunjiao even let out a piercing cry, startling Jiang Suishun and causing him to come to his senses. He asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Zhao Qianyun explained excitedly: "Brother Wei just said that he is willing to play the second male lead!"

Li Chunjiao was so angry and sour that she almost bit her teeth off.

She never expected that no one was willing to play the second male lead, and in the end Wei Zhenhua actually stepped forward to make a guest appearance!

If she had known this, she would have raised her hand even if she didn't like the female lead! And how could Jiang Suishun be chosen!

Li Chunjiao almost vomited blood when she thought about how she had just taken the initiative to push Jiang Suishun to be the leading actress.

She actually gave up the opportunity to play opposite Senior Brother Wei to the annoying Jiang Suisui!

Jiang Shuenshun didn't react much to the news. It didn't matter to her who played the second male lead. However, when she saw Li Chunjiao's face turned blue with anger, Jiang Shuenshun suddenly felt a little better.

Everyone can see that Li Chunjiao is interested in Wei Zhenhua. Now, she must be pissed off by what she just did.

Because of the discussion of the play, the freshman welcome party was delayed for a long time. It was past lunchtime when it ended, and there were probably no good dishes left in the cafeteria.

However, everyone in the Chinese Department was already preoccupied with the drama. They quickly finished their dinner and began to discuss the plot.

After all, there are not many new students this year, and since they have supporting roles, at least one-third of the people will be involved, so everyone is very enthusiastic.

Jiang Suisui was so hungry that her stomach was throbbing. The melon seeds she had just cracked had been completely consumed by the last shock.

However, the only things left in the cafeteria were soup without any vegetables and cold, hard whole-grain cakes. Jiang Suisui ended up buying only one cake, intending to take it back and have it with the salted vegetables she brought with her as dinner.

On the way back, Jiang Suinsui hung her head in despair. Thinking that she suddenly had to perform in a play and had not been able to have a hot meal in the evening, she was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness.

At this moment, Zhao Qianyun beside her suddenly nudged her with her elbow and whispered, "Hey, look ahead, is that your date?"

Jiang Suishun raised her head suddenly, and then her eyes lit up: "Yes!"

I saw Song Wei Zheng leaning against a big tree downstairs of the girls' dormitory not far in front of me. Although he was not standing straight, he looked tall and straight, with an aura of calmness.

Zhao Qianyun smiled secretly and said, "Then go quickly, he should be waiting for you."

Jiang Suinshun's mood instantly turned from gloomy to bright. She waved to a few roommates and ran happily towards Song Weizheng.
