A week passed after the midterm
"The school festival is drawing near. We need to think of something to do for our class." The class president stood in front of the class. The class president is a model student with a serious face.
"Does anyone have any suggestions? We will vote for the activity"
"Maid cafe" A boy raised his hand.
"Eww. You guys are so dirty-minded. I vote for a butler cafe."
"Haunted museum."
"School play."
"Food stand."
The most votes turned out to be a school play for "Cinderella".
"Then we will select the roles with a raffle. Everyone come up one by one"
Han Bing opened up her paper. Prince.
"If you got the lead role for Cinderella or the prince, come up." The class leader shouted.
Han Bing rolled her chair to the front. "I'm the prince."
After a while, Qin Shi Ran slowly emerged from the crowd. "Can I change my role?"
Seeing this, a burst of laughter came from the crowd.
"Ahahaha."
"Cinderella fits you perfectly. Hahaha."
Bai Rong Rong looked at the words "dancing guest" in her hand. She went up to Han Bing. "Han Bing, can we trade roles?" she looked at her pitifully.
The class president was trying not to laugh. "No. The raffle is the final decision."
The crowd agreed. "Yeah. you can't change roles or else everyone has to change too."
Bai Rong Rong looked at her paper furiously.
"Writers come up. Let's write the script." Three girls went to the front. All of them have an evil smile.
For the next three days, the class is switching between setting up the school play and their daily lessons. Everywhere in the classroom can be seen with construction boards and fabric.
For Han Bing and Qin Shi Ran, it has been especially annoying. Every second, the clothing group wants to measure their body. Many people attempted to secretly get close to Qin Shi Ran by using clothing measurement as an excuse. For Han Bing, it was because finding the measurement is inconvenient.
The practice for the play was also taking a toll on Han Bing. The writers wanted her to have a personality of a cold and seductive prince. Han Bing didn't understand what a person who is both cold and seductive looked like.
The writers, who felt bad for Han Bing's lack of common sense, threw her a couple of light novels to learn from. Han Bing felt that these book's titles are extremely weird and similar. "Military commander doting on his wife." "Ceo chasing after his wife." "Legendary doctor finding a wife." Why do they all need a wife?
Han Bing studied the books and came to a conclusion. These books are trash. However, she now has a gist of what the writers want her to act like. She constantly practiced in front of a mirror. Her acting skills became better and better as time passed.
Qin Shi Ran, who had to practice separately with the director or class president, was constantly furious. "Why do I have to wear this dress everytime we practice? Can't I just wear the dress during the day of the real play?"
His classmates on the side of the auditorium are all laughing while hitting the table. "I can't. I can't. Everytime I see this, I would… Bwahahaha."
The class president pushed up his glasses. "No. Don't worry this is only your temporary dress. Once your real dress is made, we will switch it."
Qin Shi Ran just wants to rip this dress right now. This is so frustrating. How did he get into this mess?
Finally, the day of the school play came. Because Han Bing can not be a normal prince, the writers have to change the role a bit.
"Class 3-A presents 'Cinderella'. Everyone please give a round of applause" The whole auditorium filled with parents and students applauded.
"Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella. She had an evil step mother and two evil step sisters who made her do all the chores." A voice came out from the audio speaker.
Qin Shi Ran brought out a broom and started sweeping in the center. His dress was purposefully made to look raggedy, and his wide shoulders made him look like an adult trying to wear a kid's dress. Some people already start laughing. However, Qin Shi Ran wasn't bothered anymore after his classmate laughed at him everyday during the practice.
Yang Li Mi who was in the audience made the biggest laugh sound and hurried her butler to take some pictures.
"One day, a letter was sent to her house inviting all the ladies to the ball. Cinderella, who didn't have a dress, begged the animals to make one for her"
"birdy, birdy, in the air. Who's the fairest of them all?" Qin Shi Ran asked the birds.
The birds replied "It's you."
"Then, make me a dress." Qin Shi Ran demanded.
The crowd felt something weird get stuck in their throat.
A dress appeared in the middle of the stage. White smoke came out, and Qin Shi Ran disappeared.
After a few minutes, Qin Shi Ran reappeared with the new dress on. The stage became a ball and people gathered around on the stage. Han Bing who finally mastered her character appeared on the stage. After a week of practice, the three writers felt that they polished a genius.
With makeup that made her look weak and pale, she coldly and seductively smiled at the audience. "No one can make me fall in love."
The audience's girls screamed "My prince!!!" Han Bing currently looks like a cold-blooded prince that had his legs taken by betrayal. All types of backstories filled their minds. Yang Li Mi screamed with the crowd.
Qin Shi Ran stood in front of Han Bing. He hasn't talked to her since the incident. However, realizing that Han Bing is in character, he also didn't want to lose either. He stepped forward without noticing his long dress on the floor. Qin Shi Ran tripped.
Thump. Qin Shi Ran's mouth connected to Han Bing's mouth. It was soft and sweet.
The whole hall became silent. Qin Shi Ran immediately got off Han Bing.
Han Bing wiped her mouth "Woman, you have successfully got my attention." Seeing her cue, Qin Shi Ran ran away while not forgetting to take one of his shoes off.
The crowd uproar again. "Kyaaaa. Prince!!!!"
The actors also came out of the shock and continued the play.
The writers in the backstage were shocked. This situation is so much better than their script.
"Go and find the woman who stole my kiss." Han Bing ordered the soldier. The soldier's mouth twerked but he went along.
"Yes, my lord."
"For three days and three night, the soldiers went to every household to find the mysterious girl. Finally, in the last house, they found her."
"You must be the girl from the ball." Han Bing took Qin Shi Ran's hand and kissed it.
"Can you be my princess?" She gave a cold smirk.
The play ended.
The whole auditorium was filled with applause. Han Bing rolled her chair to the backstage and saw Qin Shi Ran waiting for her. His face was flushed, and he didn't look into her eyes. "Y-you wanna see the events that the other classes are doing."
Since Han Bing has nothing to do, she agreed. "Sure."
Qin Shi Ran took the wheelchair handle and pushed her out. The classmates in the back watched the leaving pair. Did the kiss make a love blossom between them?
