Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS
When Qin Jiayan woke up from his daze, he saw Qi Wu standing in the aisle beside the table and silently looking at him.
He was stunned. “I just…What happened?”
Qin Jiayan could not seem to recall those few short seconds as the memories felt shrouded in fog. He could only recall a vague feeling.
“You were just…’
Qi Wu spoke slowly, and Qin Jiayan could not help but stare at her nervously.
Eventually, she coldly stated, “Spacing out.”
Qin Jiayan fell silent.
After a while, he stood up and said in embarrassment,” I’m sorry.”
“Time to practice.”
Qi Wu was looking elsewhere.
The lecture hall was very big, and many contestants had found a corner to practice in with their partners.
After all, Shen Xi had said that he would check on their progress before class ended.
Qin Jiayan did his best to familiarize himself with the script.
Jiang Yu and Cheng Cheng were a pair of lovers who had never been separated from each other. Their relationship started at university and went through working life until they decided to get married.
However, on a rainy night just before the wedding, Cheng Cheng returned the teru teru bozu doll Jiang Yu gave her and was never seen again.
There were only a few short lines in the script, but they were enough to express the characters’ love.
Qin Jiayan widened his eyes and asked in confusion, “Why?”
The young man was still very young and had never experienced love before, so he naturally did not know the meaning hiding in the script.
“Love is the Garden of Eden, but marriage is not. After becoming working adults, even the smallest squabbles over daily necessities were enough to be the catalyst for divorce.”
Qi Wu calmly and rationally explained as her beautiful eyes shone brightly.
Even though Jiang Yu and Cheng Cheng had never been apart, the many conflicts had accumulated little by little. The proverb, a small leak will sink a great ship, was not a proverb for nothing.
Everlasting love ended in marriage.
Deep down, they knew that. That was why they chose to end it with dignity.
The return of the doll meant that there would no longer be days of sunshine shared between them.
After Qin Jiayan heard Qi Wu’s analysis, he was completely in awe of her.
“Qi Wu, you’re amazing! You must have gone through a lot to be able to tell all that from just a few lines!”
Qi Wu did not reply.
For the first time, she felt speechless.
Had she gone through a lot?
Emotions were a burden to priestesses. They were meant to wait for their fates to come true with absolute rationality and a calm mind.
many lovers who were unable to get together in the end.
They would come to the temple to cry and pray, hoping that the gods would protect them and return their loved ones to them..
After Qin Jiayan said that, he belatedly realized what he had just said and quickly covered his mouth.
His eyes were wide open with obvious panic and guilt shining in his eyes.
He did not know how to hide his emotions at all.
That was what Qi Wu observed.
Qin Jiayan was very apologetic as he said, “I’m sorry, Qi Wu. I think I said something wrong…”
Qi Wu tilted her head.” You’ve apologized three times in the past hour. Do you like apologizing?”
Qin Jiayan quickly shook his head.
“Do I need to give you time to prepare?”
Qin Jiayan thought of his bad acting skills and knew that he would definitely be a burden to her, so he subconsciously wanted to apologize again.
However, before he could speak, he met Qi Wu’s gaze.
Staring into her eyes, Qin Jiayan suddenly could not find it in him to apologize. Thus, he ended up saying, “I-I’ll try my best not to drag you down!”
Qi Wu blinked and whispered, “It’s okay, as long as Shen Xi doesn’t find out.”
Qin Jiayan fell silent.
Why did he feel like she was very different from what he had imagined? Why did he find her cute?
“Pardon me, but I’ve already found out.”
Shen Xi suddenly spoke up from behind them in a slightly exasperated voice.
Qi Wu paused for a moment before calmly turning around.
She acted like she had not messed up at all.
Qin Jiayan himself was drowning in guilt under Shen Xi’s gaze.
“Next time, Mr. Shen, don’t hide and eavesdrop on us.”
When Qi Wu said this, Qin Jiayan felt faint. He swore to never slack off in the next class.
Shen Xi raised his eyebrows and replied in a gentle voice, “All right, I’ll make sure to work on that.”
Qi Wu nodded. “We need to practice.”
In other words, she was telling him off for affecting them and that he needed to hurry up and leave.
Qin Jiayan was speechless.
Qi Wu had gone crazy!
What Qin Jiayan found harder to believe was that Shen Xi actually left!
He also wished them good practice before leaving.
Qin Jiayan silently stared.
He had heard so many rumors about how strict the three mentors were. Why was Mr. Shen so easy to talk to?
“Aren’t you going to practice?”
Qi Wu’s casual question immediately snapped Qin Jiayan back to his senses.
He did not dare to say another word.
Qi Wu nodded. Then, Qin Jiayan quickly discovered that the air around Qi Wu had changed.
Cheng Cheng was a woman from the south. She was elegant and refined with a gentle and soft voice.
However, no matter how gentle her voice was, it would always be tainted with intense sadness and determination.
“Jiang Yu, it’s over…”
Her sobbing rang with warm determination.
The change was so sudden that Qin Jiayan’s brain went blank.
The eyes of the woman standing in front of him were slightly red. He blurted out, “I won’t leave you behind!”
Qi Wu’s eyes instantly regained their calmness as she looked at him in confusion. “You messed up the lines.”
Qin Jiayan was embarrassed.
He had been immersed in Qi Wu’s acting before he even knew it.
Unfortunately, Qi Wu had already gone back into character while he was still Qin Jiayan.
“0-0ne more time.”
Qi Wu did not say anything and just got into character again.
Qin Jiayan failed again.
They repeated the scene three times, but Qin Jiayan was unable to get into character.
Qin Jiayan slumped on the ground dejectedly. “I’m too weak.”
“Yes, you are.”
Qi Wu replied affirmatively.
Qin Jiayan fell silent.
That was too brutally honest.
He became even more depressed.
Qin Jiayan only planned to last until the first round, so he had never really been that serious, but he never wanted to drag his teammate down.
After all, his teammate was really strong!
Qi Wu sat down beside him.
“Although the script is very short, you have to use your own way to build Jiang Yu’s character. Why would he do such a thing? Everything must have a logical reason.”
Qi Wu slowly continued,” In other words, you’ve always been playing Qin Jiayan and not Jiang Yu.”
Realization slowly dawned on Qin Jiayan, inspired by her analysis. “Let me think about it,” he said, nervous and excited at the same time.
“Okay. ”
Qi Wu softly replied.
The young man stared down at the script that only had a few lines of words and pondered hard.
However, Qi Wu knew that he belonged to another more dazzling and grand stage..
