VOL.02

"I’m so sorry! Lin Zihao, can you still walk? You need to be careful, as we have to prepare for the duet dance later!" Qi Yi looked apologetically at Lin Zihao, who was holding his foot and shouting in distress, feigning concern, but then turned around and secretly made an 'OK' gesture towards Yin Diyuan.

The spotlight is still frantically searching the entire venue for another protagonist, Lin Zihao, while this self-proclaimed most handsome and capable assistant is lying awkwardly on the ground, clutching his wound and crying out in distress

Ka---Ka---

A fierce and menacing expression immediately surfaced on Qi Yi's face, as if he had just been possessed by an angel for that brief moment... Truly, angels are worthy of their wings, as they fled so swiftly

Strangely, I just caught a glimpse of a faint sense of disappointment in Jiang Youchen's eyes.

What are you saying

The trembling voice of the short and stout assistant rang out from outside, followed by a wave of uproar from the audience below.

Oh! I inadvertently replied, lowering my head and murmuring softly, "Even if you don't say it, I would know; is it really necessary to say it like this?"

Yin Diyuan smiled and glanced at Yan Yan, and the two exchanged a knowing look. Without saying a word, Yan Yan lifted Jiang Youchen, who was beside him, and rushed towards the teaching building

Ah! At this moment, Lin Zihao suddenly let out a cry of despair that caught my attention

I didn't say anything... I'm going to change my clothes... You...

I stared in astonishment at the two figures that instantly vanished into the crowd

Indeed, as expected of Yin Diyuan, it seems that even the most difficult matters can be effortlessly resolved

Waaah—Waaah—

Snap

Jiang Youchen's gentle voice was like a warm ray of sunshine, rescuing me from the icy and fiery turmoil that trapped me with Yin Diyuan and the others. I ran towards his embrace, tears streaming down my face.

He turned his head to look at me, revealing a broad smile in surprise, and gently shook his head: "They will take care of everything for me..."

I was startled by Qi Yi's fierce appearance, my whole body shivered for a moment, and with a trembling voice, I spoke to this demon

I secretly glanced at Jiang Youchen, who was helping me organize my messy clothes, and curiously asked:

I awkwardly glanced at Qi Yi, and to my surprise, his face also turned slightly red. He took a deep breath and said, "Consider it a hush money for what happened last night; you must do it today"

Shh! Qi Yi abruptly pulled me aside and hurriedly ran towards the backstage, stopping only when we had hidden behind the curtain

Cai Ling, what is wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell

Do I really have to dance with that detestable Lin Zihao

A gust of cold wind swept by, sending a chill down my spine and causing me to shiver uncontrollably.

A blaze of anger burned fiercely before my eyes, causing me to involuntarily take a step back

Outside, under the host's guidance, the atmosphere was immediately restored to a lively one, with thunderous applause erupting from time to time. The audience seemed genuinely eager for "my" performance

Hmph, if they had spoken to me properly, I would have certainly done it without them having to say anything! ... But with this kind of tough attitude ...

A chill surged from my heels to my entire body, and I immediately became rigid and unable to move

This is still the first time I have seen the usually lively Qi Yi display such a serious expression, along with resolute words

He cautiously glanced outside, then hurriedly turned back to me and said: "Change your clothes! Pretend to be You for a moment!"

The opening dance will begin in five minutes, everyone please be patient

Is Yan Yan studying The Flash? Surprisingly, no one noticed the disappearance of the protagonist Jiang Youchen

A bead of sweat the size of a bean slid down from my forehead and fell to the ground This This world is changing too rapidly, and it is evident that I cannot keep up with the times

"No!" I angrily shook off his hand and strode outside, "I am unwilling."

You ... ... '' I was suddenly yanked back by a force to the curtain, and when I looked up, I saw Qi Yi's red, tousled hair burning with anger. He stared blankly at my hand that had been pulled back, and like being electrocuted, he shook it off.

I feel like a deflated balloon, drooping my head, grabbing the costume for the performance, and resignedly changing into it

You is the person we must protect with our lives, so I must do this

Why is my fate so tragic ... ... Waaaah ... ...

You! Just now, I was a bit at a loss when I heard Qi Yi's domineering words. I impatiently lifted my head and unexpectedly met his serious gaze.

Cough cough... Everyone please pay attention, after our communication with the 'Assistant', Jiang Youchen will take the stage, but will be wearing a veil. We hope everyone enjoys the performance..." Yin Deyuan's calm voice rang out from outside, soon restoring order to the venue.

Aren't you afraid? You have to pretend to be a girl

Miso—miso—

Before I could finish speaking, Qi Yi had already pulled aside the curtain and walked out of the backstage

I turned around and saw Qi Yi calmly retracting his foot, while Lin Zihao was awkwardly collapsing to the ground, his face contorted like a long gourd, and he was on the verge of tears
