Chen Da's eyes held a trace of astonishment, as Ren He had just declined his offer to familiarize himself with the script, saying he had already memorized his lines.
This was somewhat puzzling in itself, given that he had been initially assigned the leading role. One wouldn't be surprised if he remembered the lead's lines, but to memorize the other characters' as well was truly astonishing.
However, Chen Da didn't say anything. If you forget your lines during the performance, that's your own fault. He didn't even expect Ren He to play the role of the beggar well right now, as this character was the only positive role in the entire play, pivotal like the finishing touch on a dragon painting.
