When the second year of high school started, Shen Zhiyi was dragged into the drama club by her best friend.
The assigned partner is named Jiang Yu, who is from Class 3 of Science. He has a good face, talks little, and has a stingy smile - he only smiles once in three days of rehearsal, and then pulls back the corner of his mouth once he moves it.
"You have something to say to him," the script read.
"You read it too much like a text," he said.
"Then you teach me." She said.
He asked her to look him in the eyes and do it again.
Later, they rehearsed for an hour after school every day, playing the role of a pair of people who only dare to confess their love before graduation. After acting for seventeen days, her heart beat faster when he said "I like you". She acted until she couldn't tell whether the way he looked at her was for the character or for her.
One day she ran out and said to him on the rooftop:
"Don't just look at me like that in the show. When you get off the stage, you'll know everything. I don't have such good acting skills, so I will take it seriously."
He said nothing. He stretched out his hand to hold her sleeves and said in a low voice:
"Then don't think of it as acting."
Concept: The boundary between true love and performance lies in sincerity.
