No? Can I read the mind of my mortal enemy?

Stepping into the adjacent lecture hall, I found students of all nationalities in the class.

This was the first time Shi Qiao had ever known who was in her class.

Since all courses were elective and Shi Qiao did not live in the dormitory, this class was practically meaningless to her.

They all looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place their names.

She and Jiang Youran stealthily found a corner and sat down. "Has our class decided on what program to perform?"

Jiang Youran shook her head. "I don't know either, but the shows are mostly about singing and dancing, right?"

"Luckily, I'm tone-deaf. Jiang Youran, out."

She nudged Shi Qiao, "But we need to be careful with our Qiao."

Shi Qiao blushed. "Don't give me that. Professional things should be done by professionals. Don't make me embarrass myself."

Jiang Youran covered her mouth, "Who was it that used to claim to be the nightingale of the capital every day?"

"long!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Since you said each class will put on a performance, it's probably the kind that allows for multiple participants, right?"

Shi Qiao blinked blankly, "Hmm, that's true."

"Then I'll happily play the role of Mr. Nan Guo!"

The sound of a microphone popping during a test rang out from the podium, and everyone looked up.

A male student wearing glasses with a serious expression and a sweet-looking girl stood at the podium.

Jiang Youran propped her head up with her hand and said, "That should be our class monitor Li Ming and the entertainment committee member Lin Ruo."

Shi Qiao frowned. "Huh? When were we elected as class committee members?"

Jiang Youran was speechless. "...What a coincidence. Please, just take a look at the class group chat."

"Ahem, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this class meeting." Li Ming leaned on the podium with both hands. "As you all probably know, our class unfortunately drew this lot and we need to put on a performance at the end of next month."

"So now I'd like to ask everyone if they have any good ideas for a program that can involve as many students as possible."

Li Mingxian set an example by writing "Chorus" on the whiteboard.

Next, a barrage of opinions emerged from the class.

Various ideas were written on the whiteboard, such as "stage play", "fashion show", "recitation", "dubbing movie", etc.

After rounds of selection, the stage play was finally chosen.

Reason one: their class has a total of 25 people, and the male-to-female ratio is just right, making them perfect for being assigned to stage play work.

Reason two: The vast majority of students in the class are tone-deaf. In the end, let alone singing in the chorus, even those who can sing will be led astray by those who can't.

Shi Qiao's right eye twitched slightly, giving her a sense of foreboding.

Upon seeing that the stage play had been selected, Lin Ruo was overjoyed and immediately snatched the microphone from Li Ming, saying, "Well then, since everyone's here today, let's decide together what to perform!"

Her eyes sparkled, locking onto Shi Qiao in the corner at a glance, but she quickly looked back at her tablet.

"I think we can do a Romeo and Juliet adaptation!" she exclaimed excitedly, pulling a thick, tattered notebook from her bag.

"Don't you all feel that while the original story's depiction of the couple's double suicide was shocking, it also left a sense of regret?"

"So, I want to change their tragic love story from a double suicide to a happy ending!"

She offered her thoughts at length: "I think Romeo loved Juliet so much that when he learned of her death, he should have gone to see her body with his own eyes and kissed her lips one last time."

"How wonderful it would be if he discovered at that moment that his beloved had just woken up."

"Now, let's face the challenges of the world again..."

Lin Ruo really did have a talent for storytelling. Shi Qiao, who had initially shown no interest, gradually raised her head and listened with great interest.

Not only that, the other students and Shi Qiao also felt the same way and raised their heads.

After briefly explaining her thoughts, Lin Ruo said, "These are my recommendations. Feel free to share any other suggestions!"

But after being influenced by her ideas, some people, adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble," and others, who were genuinely moved, did not offer any other suggestions.

The idea of ​​adapting Romeo and Juliet into a stage play was thus finalized.

Lin Ruo's cheeks were flushed. "I've already sent the full script PDF to the group. Anyone who's interested can take a look."

We need four female students and five male students for the main roles, and we hope everyone will actively participate and sign up!

"Students who participated in this stage play, whether actors or those in support staff, can receive extra study hours!"

After the meeting, Shi Qiao did not rush to leave, but sat in her seat admiring Lin Ruo's masterpiece.

She silently gave Jiang Youran a thumbs up, "Lin Ruo is amazing, the adaptation is perfect, no wonder she can be the entertainment committee member."

"I'll beg her to write a fanfiction, and I'll shower her with money."

Jiang Youran nodded vigorously, "I second that."

"By the way, Qiao, what are you planning to do?"

"With this extra learning activity, I won't have to look for things to do on my own anymore."

Shi Qiao glanced at the work content, opened the questionnaire sent by Lin Ruo, and said, "Hmm, I think this outfit preparation suits me quite well."

"I've been doing pain relief patches for so many years, I'm just used to it by now."

Jiang Youran smiled and said, "Then I'll go with you too."

There were just too many options, and Shi Qiao couldn't find one for quite a while. She also had to be careful not to accidentally tap the wrong one.

"Holy crap! What a coincidence!!" Jiang Youran nudged Shi Qiao twice with all her might.

Shi Qiao's fingers trembled, and she suddenly looked up, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Pei Jingnian! What's he doing at the door!" Jiang Youran lowered her voice. "Look, look, behind that door! Is he here to pick you up after class?"

Shi Qiao was stunned.

Pei Jingnian leaned against the door, his tall figure and fluffy black hair, though not deliberately styled, unexpectedly added a touch of laziness.

The half-rimmed glasses that rested on the bridge of his nose concealed the emotions in his eyes, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

Just standing there is enough to attract attention.

That's not right.

Although she did tell Pei Jingnian that she was coming to pick her up, she didn't tell him that there was a class meeting tonight.

Moreover, there were no warning messages or alerts, and it was strangely quiet.

Jiang Youran smiled, her lips curving into a smile. "Oh my~ So sweet~ Sigh, when will sweet love finally come my way?"

Shi Qiao turned her head away, forcing herself not to look at Pei Jingnian.

"Come on, you're not even dating yet, and you're talking about a sweet romance? I think it's a bad debt I owe God from my past life."

Jiang Youran patted her shoulder, "How dare you say Pei Jingnian is being stubborn?"

"I don't think you two can be two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed."

"I won't be a third wheel, I'm leaving now."

Before Shi Qiao could stop Jiang Youran, she ran away.

"Really." Unconsciously, she quickened her pace, stuffing the tablet and other items into her bag.

She was just about to turn off the screen when she saw the phone screen clearly and froze on the spot.

On the statistical questionnaire—

She accidentally clicked on "Juliet" instead of "Juliet's Costumes".
