The rest of the class period went by quickly, and Yi Rong made it a point to bail as fast as she could. She went to her locker and grabbed what she needed, when Long Dandan came up to her. Long Dandan started talking about how every class had to do a play and bragged about how she had got the lead role in the play of her class. She then taunted Yi Rong asking if she had gotten a lead role for her play. Like a robot, Yi Rong seemed to answer Long Dandan's every question with a "Yes, Long Dandan." Being ignorant as always, Long Dandan congratulated Yi Rong and offered to hangout and celebrate. Yi Rong was already in a hurry and she blurted out a flat no. It was not very often that Long Dandan faced rejection and she was taken aback. Yi Rong replied that she was just having a bad day and she really wanted to go home. With a worried look Long Dandan asked if Yi Rong's health was ok or not and if she was feeling feverish. Yi Rong just replied flatly that she just wanted to go home and rest and thanked Long Dandan for her concern.
Yi Rong turned and headed for her car, but as she did, she spotted Cui Ting watching her, looking amused. But, Yi Rong ignored her and went back home. Reaching her place she released a whew of sigh. Entering her home, she was greeted by her mom. Judging by her sad tone her mom understood that Yi Rong was unhappy because of something. She enquired her about what had happened. Yi Rong thought that bringing up Cui Ting was of no use. So, she just replied that she was sad because of Long Dandan. She added that Long Dandan had been sending mixed signals for a while now. Yi Rong had thought that Long Dandan was into her, and then she turned her down, but now she was flirting with her again. Supposing by her response, Yi Rong's mom concluded that Long Dandan must be crazy for her. Yi Rong bitterly replied that she didn't want to be stuck with someone who won't give her the love she needed. Being more mature, her mom replied that maybe Long Dandan was not ready to come out yet. She advised that Yi Rong should give her some time to figure herself out. Her mom suggested that Yi Rong should try to enjoy her time with Long Dandan without bringing up her sexuality. Yi Rong agreed to her suggestions and thought maybe she should give Long Dandan another chance.
Yi Rong heard a buzzing come from her bag and she realized that her phone was ringing. She answered the call; it was her classmate Mo Aiguo on the other side. Mo Aiguo informed her that they would be having their first rehearsal on Saturday and she HAD to be present there, since she was one of their leads. Yi Rong was about to come up with an excuse when she was cut off by MO Aiguo saying that she would text her the address, and they would have a copy of the script for her. With that, Mo Aiguo hung up on Yi Rong.
Well, Yi Rong now had to attend the rehearsal the next day. She thanked her mom for her talk and ran up to her room to study the lines for the next day.
Yi Rong headed back to her room and reluctantly started reading the play over, and before she knew it, it was dinner time, and then bed time.
