If Zhou Ye was an iceberg, then she was more like a volcano now.
A barely concealed blush appeared on Zhou Ye's originally fierce little face, spreading from her long, fair neck, to her tiny, palm-sized cheeks, and finally creeping up to her delicate ears, her entire face was so red it looked like it was about to steam!
After Yu Wenliang finished his teasing confession, his smiling eyes gazed deeply at her.
When Zhou Ye met his gaze, she got goosebumps and shyly averted her eyes.
Her heart had never beaten so fast, as if she could hear the sound of drums.
She became even shyer!
Finally, before losing her composure, Zhou Ye could only close her eyes, cover her flushed face with her small hands, and slowly slumped down, lie ing on her desk, trying her best to hide her discomposure, but failing to cover her two ears, which were red and resembled rabbit ears...
The innocent Acting of the young boy and girl touched everyone in the classroom.
The girls, at an age where they loved reading romance novels, couldn't help but cover their mouths and shriek.
The boys, on the other hand, let out ape-like 'oh oh oh' sounds, half envious and half sour:
"It's so shippable!!!"
"Ah, I'm dead! So sweet, ah ah ah~~~"
"Holy moly! You guys were supposed to improvise, how is this more shippable than a campus romance drama!"
"Why is the class beauty's face so red? She better not get too into character and actually fall for that guy!"
"No, buddy! You must be tired of Acting too, right? Let me act a few episodes with the beauty!"
"Damn, I thought I was definitely the class heartthrob, but I didn't expect this guy to be so handsome when he acts..."
Tian Xiwei smiled so wide her mouth almost reached her ears, clutching her full chest, and excitedly screaming in support.
Wang Anyu's heart jolted. Could it be that Xiao Tian liked Yu Wenliang? This was bad...
But Tian Xiwei's big eyes were fixed on Zhou Ye, shipping them more excitedly than the actual couple:
"I thought she was a cold girl, but she looks so cute when she blushes, haha!"
Wang Anyu: ??? You're not right...
Teacher Liu Jingming also hadn't expected it.
He had merely casually asked two students to come up and improvise, yet Yu Wenliang, who had "never" received Acting training, performed so outstandingly, drawing Zhou Ye into a natural and fluid Acting rhythm, contributing an unexpectedly wonderful short play!
"Good, good, good, both of you performed very well and met all my requirements."
"Especially you, Yu Wenliang!"
"I'm genuinely puzzled, have you never been exposed to professional Acting training before?"
Liu Jingming asked, very curious, as he had Yu Wenliang and Zhou Ye stand beside him.
Yu Wenliang, with an unblushing face and steady heart, replied nonsensically, "Teacher, I simply love Acting, I really want to improve!"
Liu Jingming understood that he simply liked it, perhaps imitating the Acting of actors in TV shows and movies, but had not been exposed to actual Acting training.
The old man's heart bloomed with joy: I've finally found a treasure, I must nurture this child well!
Yu Wenliang deliberately turned his head to look at Zhou Ye, who was standing beside him and had been neglected, in front of Teacher Liu.
Because of her low self-esteem regarding her abilities, Zhou Ye couldn't shake off the small mistake she made earlier, and the teacher hadn't praised her.
This made the little hedgehog in her heart shiver and curl up, lowering her head and wilting.
Liu Jingming then noticed the dejected Zhou Ye; after all, she was Xiao Zhou's younger sister, so he still needed to encourage her: "Although student Zhou Ye was a bit nervous, she was able to portray shyness very well, with just the right amount of blushing. Everyone, give them a round of applause!"
As the students' applause rang out, Zhou Ye slowly straightened her back, smiling and bowing to thank the teacher.
Look at you, grinning like a silly girl. Was that really Acting, or was it a physiological reaction?
Yu Wenliang elbowed her to cheer her up, "Just laugh if you want to, no need to secretly enjoy it while holding back."
Zhou Ye pursed her lower lip and lightly elbowed him back, "You're the one secretly enjoying it... Hmph!"
.......
After school.
Yu Wenliang and Zhou Ye walked together, one in front of the other, on their way home.
Because they had just performed in public, many new students recognized them, especially Yu Wenliang.
Several girls actively ran over to greet Yu Wenliang and exchange contact information.
Girls who study art are generally more open, unlike ordinary girls who are shy and dare not express themselves.
"Let's communicate more about Acting in the future, handsome, don't be stingy and refuse to teach me!"
"Mm-hmm... Next time, definitely..."
Yu Wenliang sent off the girls who were hitting on him, then turned to look at Zhou Ye behind him. She quickly shifted her gaze to the distance, then put on an expressionless, icy face, her hands clasped behind her back, appearing even colder than usual.
A few boys walking together, Surrounded by, pushed forward a handsome young man and egged him on:
"Don't you like her?"
"Go get her contact info!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
The young man, with a fawning smile on his face, held his phone and actively stepped forward:
"Classmate, can I add your WeChat? I like your Act..."
"I don't have WeChat."
Zhou Ye shook her head, her words as cold as ice, speaking only a few precious words.
"Sorry to bother you..."
The young man's face turned red with embarrassment, like a monkey's butt, and he retreated with his head down, only to be laughed at by his friends:
"Hahaha, she even deactivated her WeChat to reject you."
"I told you not to go, you got your hot face stuck to a cold butt, haha!"
"What a clown, buddy, she's so pretty, she must have a boyfriend..."
Zhou Ye frowned at the boys' boisterous laughter and quickened her pace.
But she bumped into Yu Wenliang's back.
Zhou Ye let out a soft hum, annoyedly covering her smooth forehead, and looked up to see the face that had just made her blush. She swallowed the cursing words, no longer being venomous, and instead stepped on his foot.
"Ow!"
Yu Wenliang endured the pain of his AJ being stepped on, bearing the consequences of his mischief, and walked up to her:
"Have you seen Xing Ye's movies? The most important thing in life is to be happy."
"You've been praised by the teacher and confessed to by a handsome guy."
"Can't you even smile a little?"
When they reached a less crowded road, Zhou Ye made a vomiting expression and scoffed:
"You call yourself handsome? How shameless! Ugh~"
"Damn it! That's what I get for being kind!"
Yu Wenliang was speechless, "I didn't say it was me, I was talking about the handsome guy who just asked for your WeChat! Oh, I get it, could it be that you didn't take anyone else's confession seriously, and only remember the line I acted?"
"Scram!"
Zhou Ye said clearly and distinctly, then buried her head and hurried on, walking ahead of Yu Wenliang.
Yu Wenliang wanted to catch up and tease her.
Just then, Tian Xiwei and Wang Anyu rushed to catch up and grabbed Yu Wenliang.
"Yu Wenliang! You're definitely lying to me! You're definitely not a newcomer who just started Acting!"
Tian Xiwei said with certainty, patting her chest and pointing at Yu Wenliang.
"Why would I lie to you? Does lying get me food? This is called talent, don't you understand...?"
Yu Wenliang said smugly.
Wang Anyu stifled a laugh:
"Speaking of food, let's go out for a meal together, my treat for our first meeting!"
At the mention of food, Tian Xiwei's big eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs.
"Great, great! I know a super delicious Sichuan restaurant, let's go quickly or we won't get a table!"
Wang Anyu and Tian Xiwei both looked at Yu Wenliang with expectant faces, not allowing for refusal.
Yu Wenliang looked at Zhou Ye, who was walking further and further away, and shouted, "Want to go out to eat together?"
Zhou Ye turned back, silently shook her head, and continued walking forward without a word.
Oh no.
I was just chatting with Tian Xiwei.
I ignored the feelings of this little hedgehog...
"Wang Anyu, Xiao Tian, you two go ahead. My friend isn't feeling well, I'll go take care of her. Let's reschedule!" Yu Wenliang found an excuse to slip away, jogging to catch up with the solitary Zhou Ye.
Tian Xiwei's big eyes sparkled, and she hummed thoughtfully, exclaiming:
"Yu Wenliang is a good buddy, he's even skipping Sichuan food for a friend!"
Wang Anyu tried hard to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
"Xiao Tian, you're still too naive."
"You don't really think..."
"They're just friends, do you?"
