The girl's smile was as rich as the intoxicating fragrance of osmanthus.

"It doesn't matter if I make one or two, I'll make one for you as well."

As he spoke, he thoughtfully opened the lunch box.

——She even dripped a few drops of sesame oil on the food in advance.

In this way, when you open the lid, the tempting aroma of rice will rise to the sky and reach your nose.

Jiang Mu suffered a cardiac arrest on the spot.

He almost forgot what he said and did afterwards, he only remembered that the food tasted really good.

In the end, all that remains in memory is the rich fragrance.

But I didn’t know it was the fragrance of rice or the fragrance of osmanthus.

Or it could be the close-fitting, slightly smokey, smell of a girl.

Jiang Mu rubbed his brows and threw the unbearable memories out of his mind.

Fortunately, on the last day of rehearsal, which was yesterday, this girl seemed to have had enough fun and finally did not max out her "virtuous" attribute.

He was wearing a very ordinary school uniform, didn't bring a lunch box, didn't considerately hand the chopsticks to Jiang Mu's hand, and didn't help him straighten the wrinkles on his collar.

Everything is normal.

But... looking at Ella, the corners of his lips never fell, and were always raised.

Jiang Mu always has a feeling.

This girl is definitely not "enough of fun".

But "the trick is to be played somewhere else".

"Let's not talk about that." Jiang Mu said, "What time is my show in the afternoon?"

Li Hua rolled his eyes and thought for two seconds, "It should be three o'clock."

He looked at Jiang Mu: "You are so calm, why don't you try acting with the leading actress again?"

"…Forget it. I'm afraid that demon will mess up my mood."

Jiang Mu stared with dead fish eyes, "Let's go, let's go eat... Wait, I almost forgot."

He suddenly remembered something very important.

Take out the phone and dial.

"Dad, where are you now?"

"It'll take about two and a half hours to get home on the highway." Jiang Quhan's voice was a little tired. "What's up?"

"Two and a half hours... forget it. I probably won't make it in time. Dad, just go to sleep when you get back. I'll bring you the video."

"I really need to take a break." Jiang Quhan was drowsy. "Record? What record?"

"Today is the opening day of our school."

"Very good... Do you have a show?" Jiang Quhan checked the time. "What time does it start? Do you want me to support you?"

"There is one, no need to flatter, Dad, just rest when you are tired."

"Okay, I'll watch the video as well then."

Jiang Quhan yawned and asked casually, "What show?"

"In the stage play Romeo and Juliet, I play Romeo."

Probably, two seconds of silence.

"What did you say!?!?!?" Jiang Quhan's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Jiang Mu silently put the phone away from his ear.

"...I said, my show is the stage play Romeo and Juliet, and I play Romeo."

"Is Juliet a boy or a girl?"

"A girl, a Chinese-British girl named Ella Stuart. We have been rehearsing these past few days... What happened?"

Jiang Quhan did not answer this question.

He put down his phone and said, "Xiao Zhu, please stop at the service area ahead and let me drive."

"...Boss, driving while tired is not advisable."

"It's okay, I promise my mind has never been so clear!"

Jiang Quhan's blood boiled. "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you driving so slowly? You're still ten kilometers away from the maximum speed limit on the highway!"

Jiang Mu: "...Dad?"

"What? Oh, by the way, are there any kissing scenes? The scene where Romeo climbs the tree to the balcony. The atmosphere is so exciting, it would be inappropriate if there is no kiss, right?"

"...Dad, dear dad, I'm a junior this year, not a junior in college."

"What's wrong with the third year of junior high school? In the story of Juliet, she's only fourteen or fifteen! By the way, what's the name of the school you attend?"

Jiang Mu: "..."

He had so much to complain about that he didn't know which one to complain about first.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get home. I'm hanging up here. Son, wait for me. I'll be there in two hours!"

"Be careful..."

beep - beep - beep -

The phone hangs up.

"..."

Dr. Wen changed into a formal suit for a rare occasion, and the woman helped him adjust his tie.

Her expression was so focused and serious that Dr. Wen had a great illusion that she had never suffered from any mental illness and had always been his healthy and gentle wife.

He subconsciously asked, "Want to go together? It should be exciting."

The woman's pupils shrank.

She held her head in her hands and trembled all over. A huge sense of fear shattered her soul like a huge hammer.

Doctor Wen immediately stepped forward and hugged her tightly with all his strength. The woman subconsciously resisted, using her hands and feet to try to break free, but the embrace was so firm, like a gentle net.

A look of pain appeared between Doctor Wen's brows, but he just stroked her back gently and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Don't go out, don't go out, it's okay, it's okay."

"You just need to wait for me at home, just like before, just like before, and it will be like this in the future..."

The struggle gradually weakened until it disappeared.

But the man still showed no intention of letting go.

He gently rested his chin on the woman's shoulder.

That voice, which was always gentle, carried a hint of powerless sadness.

"…It will always be like this from now on."

The man said softly.

Afternoon, 14:21

Li Hua had already arrived at the scene, as if there was some show that interested him. Before leaving, he threw a package to Jiang Mu, which contained a set of performance clothes that looked very expensive.

"Go, stun the crowd with this outfit!"

He left these words before leaving.

"...Do I need you to tell me?" Jiang Mu said to himself, "It's almost time, let's go."

After walking a hundred meters, there was a sudden urgent sound.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Water! Water!"

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come out yet?"

"Help! Help! There is a paralyzed old man in the house!"

Jiang Mu turned around suddenly.

NO.21 Going against the flame! [6k]

Ella stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the full-length mirror, who was as beautiful as a sculpture.

Of course, she doesn’t need to make her own performance costumes. You may not have to trust Li Hua’s character, but you can always trust Li Hua’s connections.

He is a man who can get junior and senior high school students from all over the country to help him write English letters.

They said they would set up an orchestra, and it was said that the violinists in the orchestra had been playing Shakespeare's plays since their ancestors.

If you want to make performance costumes, then make performance costumes. The clothes that Juliet wore back then were not as comfortable as these.

This performance costume is comfortable and close-fitting, simple yet gorgeous, and the soft satin reflects a warm light in the autumn sunshine.

When Ella walked out of the dressing room wearing it, all the girls couldn't help but exclaim "Wow", and the emotions in their eyes were longing, fantasy and expectation.

It was as if they were the ones wearing the rich lady's attire.

Some boys scoffed at this, saying that girls just can't keep calm. So-called real men won't show their emotions even if they see their fiancée trying on a wedding dress!

Li Hua next to her said kindly that it was okay, and when she saw the price of the wedding dress, she would also exclaim "Wow".

This kind of European-style clothing is usually tight-fitting, and may be uncomfortable for girls with a small belly, but it is no problem for Ella.

She usually wears skirts that are one size smaller. Not only do her legs look long, but her waist is also so soft and slender that it's almost criminal.

Even Ella's mother was often envious and jealous when she was trying clothes on her, saying that if she had a figure like yours, she would have learned dancing a long time ago, and then she would have chased your father while dancing ballet or something. At least you would have been born two years earlier!

Ella responded with an awkward but polite smile.

Her mother always acts like a child. Compared with her daughter, her mother looks like a real mixed-race girl, with Chinese gentleness, British elegance... maybe even a little French romance?

In contrast, Ella herself is more family-oriented. For example, she learned a skill from her father since she was a child, which is to selectively ignore her mother's nonsense...

...But Ella hasn't mastered this skill very well. For example, after her mother said that, she thought that maybe she might really be suitable for learning dancing?

Ella looked at the rich girl holding her chin in her hand in the mirror and thought happily.

There was no one else in the room at this time, and everyone left this time to the heroine herself to adjust her state or review her lines.

Shakespeare's dialogues are really hard to memorize. Even if Jiang Mu made some adjustments himself, memorizing the lines is still a very difficult task.

It wasn't that difficult.

The problem was that Ella had been having too much fun during rehearsals these days, and her mind was full of someone's reaction.

Especially the expression that says "I can't hold it back but I have to hold it back for the sake of my dignity."

It is really worth it for a girl to savor it for several days like sucking a plum.

At night, my face hurt from laughing in bed.

This situation, similar to "having a mobile phone next to you while doing homework", is obviously not conducive to learning.

Fortunately, I worked overtime at night and practiced in front of the mirror several times, and finally I became proficient in it.

Do you want to practice it again?

The girl did as she said. She jumped off the chair barefoot, splashing water like a deer jumping into a puddle.
