Chapter 136: They Started Acting Together Again

The first classical class ended without incident.

Well done!

This process was like pouring water into a cup that already seemed full—making it fuller without letting it overflow.

It was difficult.

One slip, and one would fall into the situation of constantly reminding oneself to concentrate, only for that to scatter one's focus.

But he finally managed to persist.

That's enough for today; try one class tomorrow, and increase it slowly.

"Maybe I can develop the special skill of being able to concentrate whenever I want to concentrate," Qingshan Li thought, while drawing a circle on a slip of paper.

Amakusa-san, your hair smells so good—this true-or-false question is correct.

Those who answer wrong deduct points from themselves.

In the following classes, Qingshan Li found Amakusa very much in the way.

The distance between the front desk and the back desk was actually quite far, but she seemed to be shielding her gaze from those in front, leaning back as much as possible to avoid looking at the people ahead.

Thus, the girl's hair ends occasionally fell onto Qingshan Li's desk.

As the most beautiful person in Class 2-4, her looks were among the best in the entire grade.

Because no one could see this corner, Qingshan Li became a bit more unscrupulous.

He looked at her once per class on average.

Very much in the way.

Thus, after helping the Sunny Band Club move their instruments out after school, he followed Mikami Ai to the Drama Club, staring at her the whole way.

Amakusa-san was fine, but there was still a big gap between her and Mikami Ai.

Once he got used to Mikami Ai's back, he probably wouldn't be distracted by Amakusa-san during class.

"I feel a lewd gaze." Mikami Ai turned back, saying it with a look of contempt.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Qingshan Li replied.

Mikami Ai's expression was like hearing a mouse say, "I'll help you deal with your leftovers, no need to thank me."

But she didn't say anything more.

Mikami Ai's back was exquisite;

her black hair went without saying, brushing against a person's face, that person would absolutely fall in love with her directly, without exception, she was just that beautiful;

her slender, straight back inspired countless fantasies;

even the white shirt that all girls at Kaimei High School wore, hers seemed especially white;

the black school uniform skirt was also much prettier than most people's;

the key was her legs, wrapped in black knee-high socks, with a patch of snow-white skin exposed between the skirt hem and the socks.

If she sat in front, Qingshan Li would look at her at least ten times per class!

Ten times was for the blackboard.

The rest of the time was for her.

Amakusa was in the way, Mikami Ai was dangerous.

The Drama Club was located on the second floor of the Club Building, currently with five members total, often cooperating with the Photography Club, the two clubs were as close as one.

"As close as one?" Qingshan Li repeated.

"The Athens Philosophy Research Club and the Sunny Band Club," Mikami Ai gave as an example.

Was the relationship between the Drama Club and the Photography Club really that good?

"You seem to be thinking something very rude." Mikami Ai's danger was also reflected in this aspect; she was very perceptive.

"I was just thinking 'is your waist or Tokyo Tower thinner,' it's not really anything rude."

"Tokyo Tower only looks thin, and besides, comparing a girl's waist to a tower is inherently rude."

"Then I won't compare."

"Even just thinking about it is not allowed." Mikami Ai was very strict.

As revenge, Qingshan Li thought about it fiercely again. It seemed a bit pathetic.

Arriving at the Drama Club, Mikami Ai knocked on the door.

Her habit of knocking on the door had not changed.

Boom, like not startling the other party, a probing first sound;

Boom boom, after confirming the other party was mentally prepared, the formal knocking sound.

"Enter!" A response of someone busy, who could only receive guests with their voice.

Mikami Ai stepped aside slightly, raising her chin at Qingshan Li—you open it.

Qingshan Li wanted to ask why, but decided against it.

This person was very dangerous; he must stay away, he reminded himself at all times.

Pushing the door open, all five members of the Drama Club seemed to be present, handling a large number of props.

Everyone was dressed like ghosts.

Perhaps noticing Qingshan Li's gaze.

"For the June forest school, our Drama Club, besides the performance, is also responsible for the courage test," said the Drama Club President wearing thick glasses.

Then, he bowed extremely humbly to Mikami Ai: "Miss Mikami, welcome your visit, the Drama Club is deeply honored!"

It turned out he recognized Mikami Ai.

"Last year's Drama Club performed well at the Cultural Festival." Mikami Ai didn't sound like she was complimenting, but rather repeating the public's evaluation.

"This year we will continue to maintain a high level of performance, currently working hard on preparing the script!" the Club President said enthusiastically.

"Besides preparing the Cultural Festival script and getting ready for Forest School, what other activities do you have right now?" Mikami Ai asked again.

"Vertical short dramas are really popular online lately. We're cooperating with the Photography Club to shoot comedic campus short dramas. We're about to go film them. If you're free, please come watch!"

Of course I'm going to watch.

Then, a thick sense of deja vu struck me in the face — campus rebirth, grade rank one, winning the beautiful girl.

"I have a question. Starting over once — can you really live that kind of life?" Qingshan Li pointed at the male lead who got first place in the whole school and asked.

"Of course." The Drama Club President was absolutely certain, to the point of being nonchalant about it.

"It's not that simp"

"It's exactly that simple." The Drama Club President cut in. "Impossible to fail, right? Don't tell me you think even if you started over, you couldn't do it?"

"Haha, hahaha, of course I can!" Qingshan Li answered with a laugh.

"The script's logic isn't the point." Mikami Ai reminded him.

"I'm not"

"Starting over, placing first, falling in love with the campus's number one beauty — absolutely logical!" The Drama Club President rushed to answer.

This person is probably an E.

"Besides men being reborn, there are women who are reborn too." The Drama Club President continued introducing.

He pointed at the "campus's number one beauty" who was redoing her makeup and said: "After being dumped by the campus's number one handsome guy, she gets taken in by her maternal grandfather and becomes a rich young lady who rides to school in a Benz every day."

"Rides in a Benz?" Mikami Ai asked.

"Yes, borrowing a Benz from a classmate after school." The President nodded.

"The script's logic isn't the point." Qingshan Li reminded her, then added, "Maybach counts as Benz too."

Mikami Ai brushed her long hair aside and turned to face him.

"Classmate Aoyama, you think literary value can serve as an indemnity? Big mistake."

Qingshan Li's pores tensed slightly all over.

"Think that as long as you change things a little, you can freely use someone else's life experiences? Absolutely no such thing. That's not what I want, and I've never allowed it."

"I'm sorry!" The Drama Club President bowed ninety degrees.

Mikami Ai and Qingshan Li looked at him with simultaneous doubt.

"To write the script, I really stole your grades, walking posture, and school life habits! My deepest apologies!"

"President." The Drama Club members looked at him worriedly.

Though his judgment is bad, the fact that he gets his members' concern at least proves he's not a bad person. Even if his judgment is bad.

"Delete it." Mikami Ai notified.

"But... we've already shot two episodes."

"Delete it." Mikami Ai ordered.

"Yes!"

"Does your Drama Club have proper stage play performances?" Qingshan Li asked.

The President straightened up first, then replied: "Of course, that's our main business. Short dramas are just for honing acting skills and expanding possibilities."

"Do you have recordings of previous stage plays? Including the preparation period." Mikami Ai said.

The President bowed ninety degrees again, then answered: "Yes, yes, I'll give them to you right away!"

This guy.

Forget it. Let Ono Mizuki try it out, experience it first, decide about joining later.

Next is finding Miyase Yaeko, getting her to help, asking Kuze Oto to fabricate things.

She'll definitely say "I knew it, you wouldn't come looking for me if nothing was wrong" again.

Find a chance, go look for her even if nothing's wrong.

But what would I even look for her for if nothing's wrong?
