The president said, "Who will play the kind and brave real princess, and who will play the arrogant and scheming fake princess?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sui and Shang Ziyan both turned to look at each other.
When their eyes meet, some things are self-evident.
Neither Qian Sui nor Shang Ziyan spoke.
At this point, both the first and the last person to choose are likely to offend someone, or they might end up compromising themselves.
Shang Ziyan and Qian Sui looked at each other.
Qian Sui didn't think much of it. She looked at Shang Ziyan, indicating that she wanted her to choose first.
However, the way Shang Ziyan looked at Qian Sui was quite different.
Shang Ziyan naturally wanted to choose the real princess, even though her mission at this school was to replace someone else.
Because she acted out a fake version of herself in real life, Shang Ziyan was quite averse to the role of the fake princess.
But she couldn't say that she wanted to play a real princess.
The positive character is naturally the real princess, while the fake princess is a villain.
She doesn't like the role of the fake princess at all.
Shang Ziyan looked at Qian Sui with an outwardly calm expression, but inwardly she was already calculating what she needed to get the role of the real princess.
Despite her thoughts, she still said to Chitose, "Chitose, you choose first. I'll choose the one you choose from the rest."
Shang Ziyan said this with a purpose; she wanted everyone to think that she was an understanding person.
Although winning roles is important, she still needs to establish a good image in front of everyone.
Because the person she was to replace was someone who was content with his lot and didn't fight with the world.
She maintained this persona.
Chitose actually had a role she wanted, but she felt that the other person should choose first.
Hearing Shang Ziyan say this, Qian Sui was somewhat surprised, but since Shang Ziyan had already said so, Qian Sui did not refuse.
Chisui's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Then I'll choose first."
Although Shang Ziyan was reluctant, she still smiled and said to her, "Yes, you choose the one you like first."
When the drama club members heard Shang Ziyan say that, they all felt that Shang Ziyan was exceptionally understanding. Qian Sui also thought that Shang Ziyan was a girl with a wonderful personality.
Qian Sui didn't think much of it; Shang Ziyan let her choose first, so she did.
Qian Sui glanced at the script. The real princess was just a title; in the early episodes, she was the daughter of a farmer, and the clothes she wore were not nice. Only in the final scene did she put on a beautiful dress.
Although the fake princess's identity is fake and her character is not very likable, being a villain, she always wears beautiful dresses, and has several sets of them.
Chitose was persuaded to act in the play, wasn't she just after the pretty dress?
Faced with this situation, Chitose's choice is naturally the one who can wear more beautiful dresses.
Shang Ziyan kept her eyes fixed on Qian Sui, and her heart was in her throat as she watched Qian Sui make her choice.
She kept repeating to herself: Don't choose the real princess, don't choose the real princess.
After making her choice, Qian Sui looked up and inadvertently caught Shang Ziyan's gaze. Qian Sui was taken aback. Although Shang Ziyan was trying to hide the longing in her eyes, it was still accidentally revealed.
Chisui understood the meaning in her eyes.
The Emperor then said, "Why don't you choose first?"
Shang Ziyan naturally wanted to choose first, to choose the real princess, but she couldn't do that.
Shang Ziyan didn't have time to hide her emotions. When she heard Qian Sui ask this, she could only hurriedly put on her signature smile and say, "You choose first."
Qian Sui felt something was strange. Shang Ziyan told her to choose first, but with that look in her eyes, Qian Sui felt that she didn't want her to choose first.
But Chitose didn't think much of it. After closing the script, she looked at the president of the drama club.
The president, ever quick to understand, asked, "Have you made your choice?"
Qian Sui nodded: "I've made my choice, I choose the fake princess."
Everyone was taken aback.
Even Shang Ziyan looked at Qian Sui with disbelief.
The president was also puzzled. He thought that Chitose would choose the real princess. Although the play was called "The Real and the Fake Princess," the real princess was actually the female lead.
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
In acting, an actress who doesn't want to be the leading lady is not a good actress.
However, given the choice, the princess chose the fake princess, who had fewer scenes and a less likable personality.
The president was somewhat surprised and asked Chitose, "Why did you choose this role?"
Chitose was quite frank, revealing the real reason she chose this role.
The Emperor said, "Because a fake princess can wear lots of pretty dresses."
Everyone: "......"
They thought about many reasons why the Empress chose the fake princess, such as why playing a villain would be a greater test of acting skills, or that the Empress was being modest and dared not choose the real princess for fear that people would think she was too opportunistic.
But to everyone's surprise, the reason why Chitose chose this role was because the fake princess could wear pretty dresses.
It's a really simple and direct reason.
After a moment of surprise, everyone burst into laughter.
Shang Ziyan was also taken aback, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the real princess hadn't been chosen.
Shang Ziyan smiled sweetly and looked at Qian Sui, saying, "In that case, I can only choose the real princess who doesn't have a pretty dress to wear."
This is the result Shang Ziyan wanted most, but she still had to pretend to be indifferent to worldly affairs and act as if she could choose anything casually.
Once the role was chosen, practice began.
We rehearsed from the very first act, bit by bit.
