On the other side.

Lu Xingwang, who said that he had to deal with important matters, went back to his room and sat down. He turned on the communication terminal and was about to tap on the link that Jian Mei had sent to him to watch the live broadcast when—

“Dingdong”

He received a message on the communication terminal.

Jian Mei sent him an impromptu. “Things have changed. I’m not going to play the dwarf anymore, so Dazhuang-ge you don’t have to watch it.”

Jian Mei seemed to be in a rush as he only sent this message and didn’t say more than this. Lu Xingwang was baffled.What do you mean by not playing the dwarf? Then which role is he going to play?

He glanced at the time and it was just about time for the live broadcast. Lu Xingwang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still clicked the live broadcast link. If it was before, he would have definitely not been the least bit interested in drama plays, but Jian Mei insisted and pestered him. His Highness was curious to see what kind of tricks his little friend had, so he caved in and clicked the link.

The webpage of the live broadcast slowly loaded and the video quality was quite clear. The stage was splendidly decorated. The host stood on a red satin and spoke. “The next wonderful performance is the classical stage play “Snow White” performed by the junior class. Please enjoy!”

The audience let out a round of applause.

A number of students even began to whisper.

“Who will play Snow White?”

“I heard it was the school beauty queen and she’s very pretty.”

“I envy the prince.”

As the curtain slowly began to unfold, a gentle girl’s voice slowly narrated the story. “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful queen and handsome king watching the snow. The queen lamented. “If only our daughter was as fair and pretty as the snow…”

The stage set was a paper castle.

The child who played the queen was wearing a golden plastic crown and a yellow and red puffy gown, looking distressed. Lu Xingwang’s lips twitched as he watched. He recalled the queen’s bejeweled and extravagant appearance and compared it with the outfit in front of him again and somehow felt funny.

The plot continued.

The actress playing the stepmother appeared. The young girl was dressed like a dark magic fairy and spoke to the mirror in front of her. “Magic mirror, magic mirror, who’s the most beautiful woman in the world?”

The magic mirror replied, “Snow White.”

“Atrocious!” The stepmother stomped her feet. “I’m going to kill her. I’m the most beautiful woman!”

Lu Xingwang looked at the stepmother brandishing her claws and suddenly felt very amused. Unlike in reality where everyone would hide their thoughts deeply, the actors unveil the truest side of humans through their play. The story portrayed by this group of children was funny but real. While he was thinking, the lights flickered. There was only one stage light in the silent and dark stage. In the center of the stage, there was a blonde girl in a bright red dress half-kneeling. His skin was as fair as snow against his gorgeous dress and his face was delicate and beautiful. He looked frightened and was trembling at this moment.

The hunter stood in front of him. “Snow White, I’ve been asked to kill you!”

Many students under the stage also started talking.

“What class is she in?”

“Is that Cai Zhenzhen?”

“Are you teasing me? No way Cai Zhenzhen is that pretty”

“She looks like a real princess…”

The plot has progressed to where Snow White entered the forest cabin and met the angry dwarves. “We don’t take in strangers. We’re very united and don’t like outsiders stepping in.”

Snow White said earnestly, “As long as you take me in, I’m willing to arrange your bed. I can do laundry, I can cook, clean, play games with you, and read books. I’d do anything for you guys!”

The dwarves were immediately persuaded. “Well, then we welcome you.”

Lu Xingwang recalled Jian Mei’s lines and fell into contemplation.

On the stage, the stepmother wearing a witch’s robe walked up to Jian Mei with an apple in her hand. She let out a strange laugh and handed it toher. “Lovely little girl, would you like to taste a big red apple? It’s delicious, I will give it to you for free.”

Snow White took it and said, “Wow, what a big red apple. I love it, thank you.”

The queen walked away in satisfaction and laughed as she walked. “Hahahaha, Snow White will surely die this time. And I will be the most beautiful woman in this world!”

The dwarves returned home and found Snow White unconscious and were very sad. They carried Snow White in a crystal coffin to the forest and let the flowers and small animals accompany her. The prince of the neighboring country saw the princess in a crystal coffin. He half-knelt beside the coffin and said regretfully, “Poor princess. How good would it be if you could come back to life!”

Cheng Yu was wearing a very intricate knight costume. His handsome face charmed the young girls under the stage.

“Her skin is as fair as snow and her cheeks are rosy. Not the least bit she looked like she’s sleeping.” Cheng Yu leaned close to the coffin like he was about to kiss. The other people had no idea but Cai Zhenzhen knew that this scene should only be posing to kiss. However, Cheng Yu was leaning very close, the intimacy of his action was something that neither of them had during rehearsals!

“Wow!”

The audience erupted in uproarious giggles.

Only the old father Jian Shencheng and Lu Xingwang who was watching on the other side of the screen frowned at the same time, their gazes gradually became cold and sharp as a knife.

Just as Cheng Yu was about to kissher, the sleeping princess opened her eyes!

Cheng Yu was stunned. According to the script, Jian Mei wasn’t supposed to open his eyes so early. Why did Jian Mei do it ahead of time? This scene was too messed up, it was simply disrespectful to the script. “Are-are you awake?”

Jian Mei nodded.

“How did you wake up?” Cheng Yu also unconsciously didn’t follow the script. “Didn’t you eat the poisoned apple?”

The important thing here was that he hadn’t kissed Jian Mei yet!

Jian Mei looked at the dwarves not far away and became very sad. “Of course, I didn’t eat it, I just pretended to because from when I was young, my mother taught me not to eat anything given to me by strangers and that I should take the most basic safety awareness.”

It was dead silent at the scene.

The students in the audience were also dumbfounded.

A dwarf came over and said, “Then why are you lying in this crystal coffin and didn’t let us know that you’re not dead?”

“Because I was afraid that the bad people would come back and also because…” Jian Mei looked at the dwarves seriously and said, “Your house has no security door installed and that’s dangerous.”

These words shocked the entire family of dwarves.

Cheng Yu barely came back to his senses and said with difficulty, “So, what about us now?”

Based on the script, he was supposed to marry Snow White and live happily ever after. To his surprise, Jian Mei stood up from the crystal coffin and said loudly, “Now we should call the police and arrest the villain.”

The dwarves didn’t expect it either. They could only follow Jian Mei’s script and said together, “Yes, that’s right. Why didn’t we think of that?”

“Don’t blame yourselves. As a matter of fact, it’s my fault for causing you guys trouble.” Jian Mei wiped a handful of non-existent tears and said sincerely, “It was my fault for running away from home. I should have told my father all the difficulties I have suffered. I believe that my father will definitely do the right thing for me. I hope that everyone can understand that no matter when, our family is our safest harbor.”

A deafening sound of applause came from the audience.

The parents at the parent-teacher meeting praised:

“This kid made a really good point.”

“Yes, ah. Mom and Dad will always protect you.”

“Look, this is what will happen when you run away from home.”

The school leaders also praised:

“What an educational play.”

“It’s so well designed.”

“This broadcast is going to be popular.”

The students in the audience applauded as they watched the curtain fall in shock. This Snow White play was so wild that they couldn’t think of anything else to say and could only applaud.

Jian Mei stepped off the stage and other actors in the play were all exclaiming that they almost couldn’t go along in the play but it was so fun and exciting. The teacher in charge of the rehearsal was also very happy after receiving praise from the school director and hurriedly said there would be a celebration party in the evening. While all the students were jubilant, Jian Mei ran to the dressing room, didn’t even bother to change his clothes and found his phone to send a message: [Did you watch the live broadcast?]

You didn’t watch it, you didn’t watch it.

Jian Mei prayed.

After a while, the phone vibrated. Lu Xingwang replied to him. [I did.]

Jian Mei was speechless for a moment and then thought that it was him who asked Dazhuang-geto make time to watch his play and wasn’t angry anymore. Because Dazhuang-gewas indeed a man of his word but…he was very ashamed this time ah!

[You…] Jian Mei hesitated. [Can you tell which character was me?]

Lu Xingwang saw Jian Mei trying to cover it up and replied: [I can probably guess.]

Jian Mei covered his face, wishing he could find a hole to burrow in. For some reason, he didn’t care about how other people saw him at all, whether it was Cheng Yu or his friends in the class. He didn’t care about making a fool of himself in front of them, but when he thought of embarrassing himself in front of Dazhuang-ge, he felt very ashamed.

Jian Mei forcibly changed the subject and asked him cautiously. [What do you think about this play?]

Lu Xingwang had always been straightforward. [Do you want to hear the truth?]

Jian Mei replied: [En!]

[You guys performed well.] Lu Xingwang thought for a moment and replied: [But it’s not close to reality.]

Jian Mei was confused. [Reality?]

Lu Xingwang replied: [In reality, people in the palace people would never do such a naive thing.]

It was just like a joke.

[The crown prince isn’t that frivolous either.] Lu Xingwang took more issues with Cheng Yu than the brainless queen. [Even the most unfavored prince won’t act so rudely.]

Never did Jian Mei expect that Dazhuang-gewould be angry and even took it seriously. Jian Mei quickly comforted him and said: [Oh, this is a fairytale. Don’t take it seriously. After all, there are no real kings and princes in real life. You’re right, even if a prince really existed, he must be very excellent, right? How would he see anything in me?]

A moment of silence.

After a long time, his phone vibrated. Jian Mei opened WeChat and saw a short message which seemed like a very serious message reply. [That’s not necessarily true.]
