Xia Yangyang walked in and boldly declared, “What are you doing here? I’m here for the same reason.”

Xia Yangyang approached Gu Zhaohan and said, “I’d like to invite you to be the male lead in my play.”

Kim Fei’er exploded when she heard this, “Xia Yangyang, you’re so shameless! You’re currently his aunt by marriage. Don’t you know to avoid suspicion? Do you want the whole school to think that the prince has an ambiguous relationship with his own aunt, or are you just trying to play both sides?”

“Kim Fei’er, don’t slander me. Whether or not he and I have an ambiguous relationship is clearest to him. I, Xia Yangyang, am upright and aboveboard. Since Director Yin has asked us to form teams to compete against each other, it’s not wrong for me to try to get a popular male lead for myself. As for what you said, those who are innocent will naturally clear themselves. Over time, everyone will be able to see the truth,” Xia Yangyang responded confidently.

Kim Fei’er retorted, “Xia Yangyang, do you know what I can’t stand the most? It’s your self-righteous and aloof demeanor. All you think about is yourself. Have you ever considered the prince?”

“Alright, stop arguing, both of you,” Gu Zhaohan interjected.

“Are you really going to agree to act in the play with her?” Kim Fei’er asked Gu Zhaohan.

Gu Zhaohan said, “I won’t be acting in the play. You both can leave.”

Xia Yangyang was the first to leave.

Because she believed that if Gu Zhaohan said so, he definitely wouldn’t participate in the play.

Besides, he always seemed indifferent; he probably wasn’t interested in participating in the play.

The next day at school,

The news that Gu Zhaohan was pairing up with Kim Fei’er to perform in the play was circulating.

All the news was posted on the school’s notice board.

Including the competition between Xia Yangyang and Kim Fei’er’s teams, and the bet between them.

Suddenly, it became the most popular topic in the school.

Xia Yangyang stood in front of the noticeboard, frowning.

Did Gu Zhaohan really agree to co-star with Kim Fei’er and play the male lead?

At lunch time, Xia Yangyang confirmed this news with Wen Xiaochu.

Wen Xiaochu and Gu Zhaohan were in the same major and had the same mentor, so they interacted fairly frequently in day-to-day life.

Wen Xiaochu said, “I really can’t understand why Gu Zhaohan chose to join Kim Fei’er’s team and refused you. Could it be that he’s using a roundabout tactic, planning to mess up at the crucial moment to drag Kim Fei’er down?”

Xia Yangyang said, “Aren’t you overthinking it? Do you think he’s that kind of person?”

Gu Zhaohan was definitely not the type to use such roundabout tactics. He was the type who would either not do something at all, or give it his all once he decided to do it.

Wen Xiaochu was well aware of this after being Gu Zhaohan’s classmate for three years.

Wen Xiaochu didn’t know, but Xia Yangyang was very clear in her heart.

Gu Zhaohan simply detested her.

Wen Xiaochu sighed, “I think our chances of winning are quite slim this time. With Gu Zhaohan on their side, Kim Fei’er’s team is even more powerful. Where can we find a male lead to compete with Gu Zhaohan?”

Xia Yangyang also felt quite somber.

She banged her head on the dining table, “Was I insane to bet with her? I think I’m doomed. Gu Zhaohan, you traitor!”

However, Xia Yangyang only wallowed in self-pity for the duration of one meal.

After finishing their meal, Xia Yangyang said, “No matter what, we have to try our best. Who is the second most popular guy in school?”

Wen Xiaochu answered, “It’s Li Jiashu from the performance department.”

Li Jiashu was a performing arts student who had partnered with Lu Yao to film a campus promotional video. He was somewhat famous, handsome and sunny, humorous, humble, and well-liked by everyone.

However, compared to Gu Zhaohan, his popularity was still lacking.

Xia Yangyang quickly found Li Jiashu, and he readily agreed to participate..
