Chapter 218 A Sight For Sore Eyes

“Because he’s the campus hunk, of course,” the girl added.

The entire class suddenly burst into laughter, teasing the girl for her hopeless crush.

But they had to admit what the girl said was the truth.

Josiah had only been at the university for a few days, and his popularity was already skyrocketing. It was downright startling.

The reason, of course, was that they thought Josiah was incredibly handsome. Coupled with his unique aura of nonchalant arrogance, countless girls found themselves helplessly drawn to him.

At that moment, Josiah didn’t seem too interested. He was loudly protesting, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t pick me! I’m warning you, whoever chooses me is in for a fight!”

In the end, the professor made a decisive decision. “Josiah, you will be playing the male lead. Make sure you give it your all and don’t disappoint everyone.”

Disappoint, my foot!

Josiah cursed inwardly.

However, it had been decided that the male lead could be none other than him.

And so, in the end, Madelyn took on the role of the female lead, Josiah portrayed the male lead, and Tristan secured the part of a deputy military officer.

As for Jillian, under Madelyn’s strong recommendation, she played the role of a maid by her side.

Janessa was so frustrated that she was stamping her foot on the side, barely stopping herself from throwing a fit.

Since her image as everyone’s first crush had completely crumbled, there was no dispute in assigning her the role of the female antagonist.

Some even remarked, “For Janessa to play this role, she doesn’t need any acting skills at all. Isn’t it just being herself?”

Janessa’s face immediately contorted in annoyance when she heard that.

In the evening, Madelyn had planned to have dinner with Sebastian after class.

However, due to the performance, the key characters, including them, had to rehearse in the campus hall. Madelyn had no choice but to call Sebastian to postpone their dinner.

“Sebastian, something came up today, and I might be a bit late. If you can’t wait, you can start eating without me. Just make sure you don’t starve yourself.”

Sebastian gave a nonchalant hum of agreement.

Then, the group headed to the hall together.

…absolutely immaculate.

At that moment, someone suddenly emerged from behind the stage.

“Yadiel?” Madelyn was pleasantly surprised when she saw Yadiel. She walked up to him. “What brings you here?”

Yadiel still had a fresh face, and he gave a gentle smile. “I am the director in charge of your performance this time."

“Wow, really? How come I never knew you had a knack for performing?” Madelyn teased in disbelief.

Seeing her amusing antics, Yadiel couldn’t help but gently tap her head. “There’s still so much for you to know about me.”

“Madelyn, who is this?” At that moment, Josiah approached, eyeing Yadiel with a hint of confusion.

Why is Madelyn, typically as fierce as a tiger, suddenly behaving so meekly in the presence of this man?

Madelyn introduced with a beaming smile, “This person here is the head professor of the Department of Clusian Language of our university, who’s also specifically in charge of directing our upcoming performance. Let’s all make sure to cooperate fully.”

Once she finished speaking, Yadiel greeted the few individuals present, “No need for formalities. You can just call me Professor Fuller.”

His smile was as pure as a refreshing breeze in March. It made one feel utterly carefree and happy.

Yadiel continued, “All right, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s analyze the roles in this script and see how each of you should portray them.”

Upon hearing this, the group quickly gathered together, beginning to attentively listen to Yadiel’s explanation of the characters.

“Madelyn, the character you’re playing this time is quite complex. The story is set during the anti-war period, where you, your family, and the one you love could potentially die at any moment… In the end, you die protecting the male lead. Of course, don’t forget there’s also a kiss of death. It’s a truly heart-wrenching moment that will surely bring tears to the audience’s eyes.”

Yadiel glanced trustingly at Madelyn. She has a knack for performance and should be able to handle such a role.

At that moment, someone lost their composure.

“What? A kissing scene? With Madelyn?” Josiah’s face stiffened. What the hell?

Madelyn was visibly taken aback as well, but she quickly brushed it off and said, “Just relax. We can always pretend. Plus, let’s be honest, I’m not exactly eager to kiss you either, all right?”

Everyone remained quite composed when they heard that.

Only Josiah, for some reason, felt somewhat hesitant to meet Madelyn’s gaze directly.

Even if it’s just pretending, the two of us will have to be very close to each other….

Unnoticed by anyone, Janessa flashed a mischievous smile.

Chapter 216 A Sight For Sore Eyes

According to the plot, the female lead in the script meets her end due to a missed opportunity to escape, tragically crushed by a collapsing floor.

In other words, there will surely be props for simulation at the scene when the time comes….

A hateful glint flashed in Janessa’s eyes, and her smile turned even more sinister.

In her mind, she had already sketched out the general plot of that day. The thought of Madelyn being accidentally hit by a prop and dying, with blood splattering all over the stage, was simply a sight for sore eyes!

Hahahaha!

There was a crazed look in Madelyn’s eyes.

Madelyn was engrossed in Yadiel’s analysis of Josiah’s character when, unintentionally, she glanced to the side. The sight of Janessa’s gaze instantly gave her goosebumps all over.

It was utterly terrifying.

She appeared utterly deranged, her mouth agape as if she were about to devour someone.

An alarm bell started ringing in Madelyn’s mind.

It seems Janessa’s up to another one of her sly tricks!

However, on the surface, Madelyn remained incredibly composed, seemingly oblivious to anything else, as she focused intently on Yadiel’s explanation of the script.

After Yadiel had roughly analyzed the character’s personalities, he then briefly outlined the main plot of the story.

Finally, he said, “All right, that’s enough for today. When you all go home, make sure to go over the script, ponder over your roles, and figure out how you should play them. Starting tomorrow, we will officially begin rehearsals.”

They nodded in agreement, then left together.

As she was leaving, Madelyn made a point to warn Josiah, “Hey, Josiah, you better study the script thoroughly when you get home, or else I’ll give you a piece of my mind!”

“Tch, child’s play.” Josiah had long since grown accustomed to her threats, so he simply ignored her, leaving directly with Tristan.

Madelyn snorted, then bid farewell to Jillian at the gates before setting off to find Sebastian.
