I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

In the afternoon, the auditorium of Yinshan College was already packed with people.

Whether it was the student council's publicity that had an effect, or the news that Class 3A would still be performing after the fire in the morning had spread throughout the campus, in any case, half an hour before the official start, the auditorium was already more than half full.

At first, most of the visitors were students from Yinshan College, but later, tourists from outside the school also started to arrive one after another.

There were even some people who came from other school anniversary areas specifically to watch the excitement. People kept taking their seats in the several tiers of seats, and the sounds of them coming together created a buzzing noise that could be clearly heard even from backstage.

"How many people are there?"

"More than seven thousand."

"How many?!"

"Over seven thousand, and they're still coming in."

The student in charge of statistics glanced at the real-time entry numbers and said, "The student council gave us a prominent spot on their bulletin board, and someone posted the part about the Demon King being the princess's biological father on the forum this morning, so many people are coming here to see what happens next."

"There are also people who say that Lin Zhou, despite your disability, you still put on a show even after being burned like a mushroom. Everyone was moved by you."

"..."

Lin Zhou stood at the backstage entrance and secretly peeked out from the side curtain.

Densely packed.

people.

It was full of people.

The auditorium at Yinshan College is used for large events. It doesn't feel like much when it's full during ceremonies, but today, when it was my turn to stand up there, the sense of oppression suddenly came over me. Especially the uppermost seats, you can't even see people's faces clearly from a distance, you can only see a huge mass of black heads.

"I'm so..." Lin Zhou silently pulled the curtain back.

There were dozens of people in the morning.

It approached 10,000 in the afternoon.

Isn't this skipping grades a bit too much? What a huge stage!

Lin Zhou admitted that he was a little flustered.

"Is it too late to run away now?" Lin Zhou asked.

"It's too late." The student in charge of the script patted him on the shoulder. "Go, hero—you're the one who has to make a fool of yourself."

"You make it sound like you're sending me to the execution ground."

"almost."

"..."

Lin Zhou felt like he had just come out of one fire and was about to enter another.

Compared to the audience seating area outside, the backstage area was in complete chaos. A batch of props that were damaged by the fire in the morning had been remade, and some of the original stage set had been temporarily borrowed. Several boys were carrying a new castle backdrop back to the stage, while the costume manager was checking everyone's clothes.

"Where are the Demon King's horns?!"

"here!"

"Who put the princess's crown next to the prop sword?"

Where is Lin Zhou?

"I'm here." Lin Zhou raised his hand.

Then the backstage area quieted down for a moment, and many people's eyes fell on the top of his head.

Lin Zhou: "..."

What are you looking at?

He's been wearing a hat ever since he came out of the school clinic today, mainly because his burnt bangs are really unsightly, and he didn't have time to get them cut this afternoon because he had a medical check-up.

Now take off your hat.

The chicken coop has reappeared.

There were a few other trees standing out awkwardly on the left and right, looking as if they had been struck by lightning and then dried with a hairdryer for half an hour.

"Pfft." Someone laughed first.

Immediately afterwards, several people around him started to suppress their laughter.

"What are you laughing at!" Lin Zhou exclaimed angrily, "This is a hero's medal left behind to save the princess!"

"Is your medal a little burnt?"

"Shut up!"

The girl in charge of makeup also came over, looked around Lin Zhou's head, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the burnt ends of his hair. "It really needs to be cut, otherwise when the lights come on, people will think that a beggar is not a hero."

Lin Zhou scratched his head. "Can you save me? Or can you put a helmet on me?"

The girl pondered, "Hmm... it's not a big problem. Just cut off the charred parts and trim the length a little."

Just as she was about to let Lin Zhou sit down and picked up the scissors, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the side.

"Wait!!!!!!!!! Spare his life!!!!!!!!!"

The girl in charge of props suddenly appeared out of nowhere, followed by the same girls who had been eyeing Lin Zhou's bangs all morning.

Several people came in aggressively!

Lin Zhou looked at them, feeling embarrassed. "W-what are you doing?"

The girl in charge of props grabbed the makeup artist's shoulder, "How can you just do something like this like that!"

"what?"

"Leave it to us."

"No, can you?"

"Won't."

"Then what the hell are you talking about!"

"But we have passion!"

Lin Zhou: "?"

The next second, the girls had already scattered in perfect unison.

One of them pulled out scissors from somewhere, pulled them with both hands, and snipped twice in front of Lin Zhou. Another girl held up an electric clipper, very coolly slung it over her shoulder with one hand. The last girl even pushed over a basin of water, holding shampoo in her other hand.

The four people struck a pose at the same time.

"wash!"

"Cut!"

"push!"

"blow!"

"I'll show you what I'm made of today—"

"The Yinshan College Women's Hairdressing Team!"

The backstage area was completely silent.

Lin Zhou: "..."

The girl in charge of makeup: "..."

Are you sick?

Are you all sick?

"Shh." The girl in charge of props held up one finger. "Don't question the professionalism."

"You just said you couldn't!"

There's always a first time.

"Don't use my head as a tool for your first time!"

These women have been eyeing my bangs ever since last time, and now that they've finally found a legitimate opportunity to do it, they don't seem like they just want to help.

"Don't worry, don't worry." The girl in charge of props rubbed her hands together like flies.

at last.

wait.

I only saw it for a second yesterday!

Today she wants the whole world to know that she didn't lie!

Of course, in the end, the girl in charge of makeup was the one who actually took the scissors. After all, Lin Zhou really couldn't entrust his head to a few people who couldn't even cut hair. The others could only stand by with great regret, acting as so-called assistants.

"Lower your head a little."

"oh."

"Don't move."

"Don't cut my hair into a buzz cut."

"Won't."

The scissors fell.

Click.

Sections of scorched bangs fell down.

The girl in charge of props' eyes lit up instantly.

Another cut.

Click.

Lin Zhou's originally messy bangs were gradually shortened, and the burnt parts were also cut off little by little. However, as the thick bangs gradually thinned out, his eyebrows and eyes, which were originally completely covered, began to be revealed.

The students who were moving things nearby suddenly slowed down.

"..."

Click.

The girl in charge of makeup removed a small section of it.

Lin Zhou kept his head down, unable to see the reactions of those around him, but he felt that the backstage area seemed to be getting quieter and quieter today.

strangeness.

Wasn't it just as noisy as a vegetable market a moment ago?

He looked up slightly. "What's wrong?"

No one answered.

The girl in charge of the props stood directly in front, covering her mouth with both hands.

Even the boy next to him who had been discussing the script with others stopped, stared at Lin Zhou for several seconds, and then silently looked at the girl in charge of props.

"I'm so excited..."

"Look!" The girl in charge of the props finally couldn't hold back anymore, almost jumping up and down with excitement. "I told you so!!!!!!!!!"

"..."

"I knew he looked incredibly handsome under his bangs!!!"

Lin Zhou: "?"

After putting on the Warrior Armor, Lin Zhou stood in front of the mirror and examined his appearance.

Yeah, I'm still not used to it...
