In the evening, Lu Xingwang had just finished washing up when he received a message from Jian Mei.
Jian Mei was usually ranting about his homework or everyday life, but he was coy today. He talked for a while before saying, “Are you free these days?”
Lu Xingwang leaned on the bedside as he looked at the sea map of the Lan family. The Lan family had always been mysterious so finding them wasn’t easy. He was busy during this time and Jian Mei had probably felt it too. Lu Xingwang saw this question and didn’t rush to reject it, but first asked. “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”
Jian Mei said hesitantly, “Actually, it’s not a big deal.”
Lu Xingwang’s lips curved into a shallow smile and for a rare moment, attempted to tease him. He said, “En, then forget it.”
Jian Mei was shocked.
This person…How could he be like this!
Jian Mei rolled around on the bed out of anger while holding his phone. In the end, he couldn’t stand it and took the initiative to admit it. “Okay, okay. I have something to tell you!”
Lu Xingwang could imagine how he was pissed off and calmed himself down through the screen. This somehow brought joy to His Highness, who had been very tired lately. He said, “Tell me.”
Jian Mei went for it. “I’ll be in a school play in two days…My school announced that the performance will be broadcasted live. Do you want to watch it?”
Lu Xingwang’s movement of flipping through the map froze for a moment.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t imagined Jian Mei’s appearance. He was curious yet also not curious. First, he thought that they wouldn’t meet anyway, so there was no point in knowing or not. Second, he was subconsciously afraid that knowing what Jian Mei looked like would deepen their relationship.
Jian Mei waited for a while and panicked, so he sent him a message asking. “What’s wrong? Are you busy? If you’re busy then forget it. It doesn’t matter, I’m just asking. Don’t worry.”
Everything was always obvious on his face. He was obviously disappointed but still tried to hide it.
Lu Xingwang sighed. His fingertips tapped slightly as he looked at the text that appeared on the screen. After thinking about it again, he finally replied. “I’m not busy. I’ll go watch it, perform well.”
The next day.

Jian Mei played a dwarf among the seven dwarfs, so he needed to wear a wig and a cute and lovely tree elf outfit. Although this was just a supporting role, he put in serious efforts to memorize the lines and position. His classmates helped each other to put on wigs and while Liu Can helped Jian Mei to put the wig on, he said with a smile, “Meimei, I don’t know if I’ve already told you but you have really nice skin.”
Jian Mei: “Huh?”
Liu Can praised him without holding back. “I mean it. Your skin is even better than some girls. Your skin is exceptionally fair, just like a real Snow White.”
Jian Mei was embarrassed by what he said. “No. Don’t say this, it’s so weird.”
Cai Zhenzhen, who was the female lead in this play, just happened to pass by and overheard their conversation. She sneered slightly. “It’s indeed weird. You’re a boy but like a princess. How refreshing.”
Liu Can was originally joking with Jian Mei, but couldn’t laugh after what Cai Zhenzhen said.
Cai Zhenzhen was wearing beautiful makeup and a princess dress. She was recognized as the most beautiful girl by the entire school and had always been favored. Of course, she certainly wouldn’t admit that she was a little jealous of Jian Mei, but out of anger, she said a few sarcastic words.
Liu Can waited for Cai Zhenzhen to leave, then he pulled Jian Mei’s hand and said, “Don’t mind it. She’s always peculiar like that.”
Jian Mei saw his nervous look and smiled gently. He comforted Liu Can instead. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, I don’t care.”
Amidst this somewhat noisy backstage were a boy’s unadorned and bent brows that looked so stunning and beautiful, just like a painting.
Jian Mei had been raised properly by his family since he was a child. His vision, measure, character, and group of people and things he had contact with were all subtly cultivated. Therefore, even if he didn’t deliberately reveal it, his own aura and nobility could catch the attention in any place and as long as he wanted to.
Liu Can licked his lips and whispered concernedly. “Even though someone is playing the princess role, I think she’s a bit like a villainous supporting character in Cinderella. However, some people don’t play the princess role but have more grace and elegance of a princess than her. If you were of different sex, can she still get that princess role?”
Jian Mei didn’t hear it clearly. “What did you say?”
Liu Can hurriedly said, “No-Nothing!”
There was a grand closing ceremony in the afternoon, so many students had to go out at noon to pick up their parents. Jian Mei was no exception. When it was noon, he went to pick up his parents who had just arrived. Shen Meina was wearing sunglasses and a mask today, she couldn’t be too conspicuous due to her special status. Yet she looked very eye-catching as she followed beside Jian Mei, many people constantly looked at them.
“Mom, you’re too conspicuous.” Jian Mei said helplessly.
“Is it because I’m very beautiful?” Shen Meina joked.
Jian Mei grinned. “Yes. You’re the most beautiful, Mom.”
He led his parents and seated them in the classroom. A lot of students’ parents had already arrived. When they saw Jian Mei leading his parents over, many people sneakily looked. Originally, they thought Shen Meina was too embarrassed to meet people as she was covered so tightly, but some of them noticed the handbag Shen Meina was carrying, and their faces changed dramatically. That was a classic crocodile skin bag by Hermès and a limited edition worldwide. It was worth tens of millions, what kind of family were they?
Everyone then set their eyes on Jian Mei’s father. Jian Shencheng was dressed very ordinarily but decent. He looked very handsome and elegant. This man in his 30s was low-profile and didn’t look old, but the watch on his wrist clearly revealed their strong financial resources. In this family of three, only Jian Mei, who was wearing the most ordinary school uniform, looked plain.
Shen Meina wasn’t idle either and tended to her son. She sat down and started talking.
“Drink some water, today is very dry.”
“Wipe your hands. This thing is dirty and has bacteria.”
“Eat something. Ai, you can’t eat this junk food.”
Her voice was very gentle, but she behaved like an old mother, who was used to taking care of her children. She treated everything very carefully, like taking care of a porcelain doll. Jian Mei was also very obedient. He knew that his mother was worried about his illness, so he didn’t want her to worry even more.
But it looked amusing and funny in other people’s eyes, especially to those from other classes who had no idea about their situation.
Not far away, Cai Zhenzhen stood up with her arms crossed and snickered. “What a mommy’s boy.”
The little girl next to her followed along. “That’s right. No wonder he’s a little pretty face, what a sissy. So disgusting.”
“You guys know what kind of person he is,” said Cai Zhenzhen. She left no room for belittling Jian Mei, especially to her friends in the drama play. “Stay away from him. Otherwise, you’ll be easily blackmailed by this little pretty face.”
The others all echoed.
Cai Zhenzhen snorted coldly, then turned her face to find her crush, Cheng Yu, to talk to. However, what she didn’t expect was that Cheng Yu’s thoughts were drifting. He was sitting on a chair with his chin propped up as he looked at Jian Mei not far away. She pouted her lips unhappily. “Yu-ge, what are you doing?”
Cheng Yu returned to his senses and said “Huh?” Then he smiled slightly. “Nothing.”
Cai Zhenzhen didn’t believe it, she said. “Are you looking at Jian Mei?”
Cheng Yu’s eyes shook slightly, but he still held a smile on his face. “I was just in a daze. I recorded the results of our classmates on this sports day. Jian Mei performed well and got second place on the last baton of the relay race.”
Cai Zhenzhen’s expression changed slightly and was a little unconvinced. She whispered, “Just second place, what’s so great about that? I can do it too ah…”
Cheng Yu’s eyes narrowed. “What did you say?”
Cai Zhenzhen was just about to speak when someone called her from behind. “Zhenzhen-jie, the 400-meter race is about to start. Hurry up and go.”
She couldn’t finish what she wanted to say, but she secretly made up her mind. Wasn’t it just second place? What’s so great about that? Could she be inferior to that little pretty face? She must take the first place for Cheng Yu to see who was more capable!
The last few games were about to start, but there were no people from their class participating in the competition this time. So, instead of going to the front with his parents to watch the game, Jian Mei talked with them in the back.
All of a sudden—
“Cheng-ge! Teacher! Something happened!”
Someone rushed over from the track, attracting everyone’s attention. Cheng Yu turned around and said, “What’s wrong? What’s the hurry?”
The student who came to report wiped the sweat on his head and said, “Cheng-ge, it’s really bad! It seemed Cai Zhenzhen was running too fast or was too anxious during the 400-meter race. As a result, she tried to catch up with the schoolmate in the front and accidentally fell down. Her situation seems to be quite serious argh, it’s tragic.”
The teacher not far away was startled. “What?!”
Cheng Yu frowned, but he wasn’t worried about Cai Zhenzhen at all. At this moment, his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness were reflected. He said slowly, “Zhenzhen is playing the role of Snow White. Something suddenly happened just now, but our performance is going to start this afternoon.”
He was the one playing the role of the prince in this play. It was currently around 9 or 10 in the morning. The difficulty of finding someone who could memorize Snow White’s lines within a few hours and looked decent enough was sky-high.
The teacher was also anxious. “What should we do? The play this afternoon is going to be live ah. We’re the finale show for this year. If something happened, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to the director.”
“We need to find a substitute actor,” said Cheng Yu.
The teacher looked at the proud student. “Do you have a candidate?”
It was at this time that Jian Mei, who was nearby, heard about the drama play and got a little worried. After all, he still had to make his debut in front of Dazhuang-ge in the afternoon. So, deep worry appeared on his small, fair face. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Cheng Yu stared at Jian Mei’s face for a moment and slowly said, “If you ask me, it’s not a big problem.” This matter still had room for salvation.
