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

Bai Wanwan stood in the center of the stage, her long hair cascading down her shoulders. The crown on her head shimmered under the spotlight, and her princess dress looked much more beautiful than it had in the makeshift classroom that morning, thanks to the professional lighting in the auditorium.

Her storyline with the Demon King is already more than halfway through, and the revised plot is still very melodramatic. It's basically about a princess who was adopted by the Demon King when she was young and always thought he was her biological father. Then, the king's men suddenly appear and tell her that she is actually a princess who disappeared during the coup years ago.

However, the audience's reaction was much better than in the morning, especially after Bai Wanwan appeared. Many people in the front row took out their phones to take pictures, and you could even vaguely hear the discussions.

Bai Wanwan's stunning looks are undeniable; her mere appearance alone captivated the attention of most people.

The classmates were used to seeing her, but for most viewers, once Bai Wanwan stood there, they could hardly take their eyes off her.

"Bai Wanwan is so beautiful in person, even more stunning than in the forum photos."

"I came here specifically for her. I couldn't get a seat this morning, so I came here without even having lunch."

"The casting for this princess is absolutely amazing. She doesn't even need to act; she just stands there and exudes the aura of a princess."

"Goddess..."

Bai Wanwan stood there expressionless, not really feeling anything about such words. She had been stared at like this since she was a child and was already used to it. She would only occasionally glance unconsciously at the back of the stage.

Lin Zhou has not come out yet.

Next, the hero will make his appearance.

Even though they had already performed once that morning, and the script wasn't anything special, Bai Wanwan didn't know why, but she was still a little concerned about when Lin Zhou would appear.

I wonder how the haircut turned out.

It's okay if you don't cut it, right?

Even a messy, bird's nest hairstyle can be quite cute.

As Bai Wanwan was thinking, the chatter of several girls in the front row came over again.

"Wait a minute, isn't that hero the mushroom guy from this morning?"

"That must be him. I heard he rushed in to save people during the fire, and his hair was singed afterwards."

"He's kind of handsome, I mean in his behavior."

"Forget about her face, her bangs are so long, I couldn't see her eyes at all this morning. I think she's just not good-looking and that's why she's deliberately covering them up."

"Yeah, Bai Wanwan is so pretty, it just looks weird pairing her with that mushroom guy. It would be better if a handsome guy played the hero instead."

Bai Wanwan was originally looking at the side of the stage, but after hearing this, her eyes slowly moved.

A few girls suddenly felt a chill and looked up, their eyes meeting Bai Wanwan's on stage. The group, who had been chatting, immediately fell silent.

"..."

Bai Wanwan looked away.

Lin Zhoucai is not ugly.

She was already very pretty when she was a child, and she still is.

wrong.

Thinking about how those girls were surrounding Lin Zhou and cutting his hair backstage, Bai Wanwan suddenly felt that it was better to be told she was ugly.

At least nobody cares.

"Princess!"

Suddenly, the Demon King's voice came from the other side of the stage. Bai Wanwan snapped back to reality and saw the boy playing the Demon King with his arms outstretched, looking heartbroken. "Come back with me!"

"Although I'm not your biological father, I raised you for fifteen years, so I am your dad!"

The audience burst into laughter, since the clip from that morning, "The King is My Wife," had already been posted on the forum, and many people had come specifically to see what happened next.

"Hahahaha, he was the loving father this morning, and he changed the version this afternoon!"

"Patch Update!"

"The Demon King is starting to make amends!"

Hearing everyone's enthusiastic support, the boy playing the demon king clearly got carried away and even added lines that weren't originally in the script: "What's so great about that king? He only gave you life!"

"And me!"

"I've paid for your meals for fifteen years!"

Bai Wanwan: "..."

Is this sentence included?

She secretly glanced at the side of the screen and saw that the student in charge of the script had covered his face with his hands, clearly having given up on treatment.

Forget it.

Anyway, everyone seemed pretty happy.

Bai Wanwan could only continue to retreat according to the original plot until she was forced to the side of the castle by the Demon King, at which point the lights in the auditorium began to dim slowly.

"No one will come to save you now!"

The Demon King raised his prop sword and pointed it forcefully at the other side of the stage. "Your so-called hero has probably already run away!"

The audience began to quiet down.

Because everyone knows it's time for the hero to make his appearance.

During the brief wait, some girls in the front row couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

"Here it comes, the mushroom man is coming!"

"I hope I won't keep my head down all day."

"I think I'll go see the princess instead."

next second.

The stage lights came on!

"Who said that? I'm here, I've always been here." The familiar voice echoed throughout the stage through the auditorium's sound system.

Bai Wanwan raised her eyes—

A figure emerged from the shadows of the side curtain.

A slender, tall body was encased in silver-gray light armor, and a black cloak hung down behind him. Lin Zhou held a prop sword in one hand and walked step by step into the spotlight.

The only difference from the morning was that the thick bangs that almost covered his entire eyes were gone.

The charred parts were all trimmed off, leaving behind slightly messy black hair. A few longer strands of hair hung between the eyebrows, but they couldn't hide the eyes that were completely exposed.

At the same time, a strange silence fell over the audience.

The people in the front row were the first to notice something was wrong.

"Huh?"

"Who is this?"

"The hero has changed?"

"Wait a moment……"

Several students who had watched the performance that morning began to stare at Lin Zhou, and then took out their phones to watch the video from that morning, comparing the two repeatedly.

"What?!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Isn't that the mushroom guy from this morning?!"

These words were like a bomb thrown into the auditorium, and those who were still in shock all turned to look at the stage.

"Really?!"

"Dude, you should have said so earlier! Why are you covering your face when you're this handsome?!"

"Who said he was ugly this morning?!"

"I always thought my bangs were so long because I was ashamed to be seen in public!"

"Wow, so handsome!"

"This isn't just bringing your own funding to get on set, it's the director hiding someone!"

"Why did you only release information about this kind of guy in your 3A now?!"

The sound grew louder and louder.

Lin Zhou walked to the marked spot and knelt on one knee before the princess. "Your Highness, I am late."

Bai Wanwan stared blankly at Lin Zhou, her eyes unable to hold anyone else.

Just then, the cameras responsible for broadcasting the event from the auditorium turned around, and the huge screens on both sides quickly switched to Lin Zhou.

Even those sitting in the back row who couldn't see the stage clearly could finally see it.

Lin Zhou was clearly unaware that the big screen was filming him. He was still wondering why the audience was making so much noise, and subconsciously looked up at the camera.

Their eyes met, and the boy on the big screen also looked up.

A few strands of black hair fell loose, and those eyes, which almost no one had seen before, appeared completely on the giant screen.

"Aa ...

The girls' voices in the auditorium suddenly became several times louder.

The audience went wild.
