Chapter 78: The Fourth City

  It's a story of childhood friends.

  I looked at a thin piece of paper in my hand, on which dense words told a story of "Cinderella".

  The heroine of the story is called Zhao Rang, an ordinary girl played by Ning Jing. Zhao Rang has two childhood friends, one is Yang Zhenghao who comes from a poor family like her, and the other is Wang Cheng, a fallen young master. The whole story revolves around these three people.

  Zhao Rang, Yang Zhenghao, Wang Cheng.

  Quiet, Li Yang, Xia Ling City.

  I heard that the script of the short play was provided by Ning Jing, and what she said is probably her own story.

  The curtain opens, first a gentle and beautiful vague, then in the eyes of the crowd or curious or excited, quiet steps elegantly walk out.

  Unlike Xu Luokai's flamboyance, Ning Jing has always appeared in a low-key manner, even though she has consistently ranked high on the school's beauty chart, this is still her first time to appear heavily made up in such an occasion.

  The quiet no longer has that serene and elegant beauty, but a bold and luxurious beauty that doesn't need to be hidden. In my impression, this is the first time I've seen Quiet dressed up like this.

  "Your friend?" Gu Liu asked with narrowed eyes.

  "Yes." I didn't intend to hide it at all and casually said: "That's Xia Ling Cheng's girlfriend, isn't she pretty?"

  "Then you'd better keep your distance from her in the future."

  I was taken aback and immediately said discontentedly, "How can you say the same thing as Gu Chen!" Gu Liu Yi wasn't seeing Ning Jing for the first time, but it was only this time that he said such a thing.

  Gu Liuyu's eyebrows rose in surprise, "Xiao Chen also said that?" He continued: "Then why didn't you do it?"

  "They're all my friends, not just Ningjing, but also Susu and Xuluo."

  "I just told you to stay away from that girl on stage, didn't tell you to stay away from others." He only said: "Suyan is very suitable as a friend, just a bit too sensitive; Xuluo Kai may be selfish, but he will never betray you."

  I was stunned by Gu Liu's words and became numb, unable to react. He only spoke a few words, but I had a faint feeling that he had secretly investigated Su Yan and Xu Luo for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken so confidently.

  "You... why are you investigating them?" Half a sound, I still couldn't help but ask.

  He glanced at me sideways and said calmly: "Because I am your brother."

  I was stunned and didn't say another word.

  I once firmly told Gu Chen that our friendship was unbreakable, I can argue with Gu Chen with confidence, but I have no way to refute the current Gu Liu Yi.

  All because of this one sentence: I am your elder brother.

  We are siblings and family members, so he always thinks more for me and won't harm me.

  It wasn't until I heard the sobbing from the audience that I snapped back to reality and looked up at the stage, only to find that they were performing the scene where Zhao Rang and Wang Cheng broke up.

  The calm eyes on the platform were filled with tears, but she smiled and said to the boy in front of her: "If I quit, I won't let you be embarrassed. So I will quit without hesitation. Ah Cheng, wish you happiness."

  The two words "A Cheng" are quietly spoken, and every time I hear them, I feel like she's calling out to Xia Ling Cheng.

  Someone in the audience couldn't help but shout: "Wang Cheng, don't abandon my Ruan Ruan!" and then won a burst of applause.

  I looked at the paper in my hand, it turned out that Wang Cheng and Zhao Rang had a big fight because of Yang Zhenghao's relationship. Wang Cheng got drunk and accidentally had a child with another woman. Wang Cheng's mother hoped that Wang Cheng would marry the woman who was carrying his child. Wang Cheng was torn between not wanting to disappoint his mother and not wanting to give up on Zhao Rang, just as Zhao Rang found out about the whole thing and proposed breaking up in order to avoid making things difficult for Wang Cheng - which is exactly what's happening on stage right now.

  I stared at it speechlessly for a long time, feeling that the plot was not only melodramatic but also had clichés that only appeared in romance novels, making me wonder if Ning Jing's story was really related to her real experiences.

  I didn't have the heart to watch anymore, although Ning Jing acted well, I was completely distracted.

  In the end, Zhao Rang and Wang Cheng were still together.
