My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not like we'll actually kiss."

Ruri Gokou, standing to the side, muttered a lighthearted complaint. She watched as Higashikata walked step by step toward Fumino Furuhashi, their cheeks gradually drawing closer. Although she knew they wouldn't actually kiss, she still felt inexplicably nervous.

Thump thump... Fumino Furuhashi felt the approaching footsteps and the growing presence. She felt her heart beating unusually fast, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

boom! !

"Alright, let's practice on the rooftop this time!" Ritsu Tainaka suddenly opened the rooftop door, and as soon as he walked in, he saw the scene in front of him and froze on the spot. Mio Akiyama and the others who followed him up were also completely stunned.

"Huh?"

Dongfang Bai turned his head in confusion, and his eyes met those of Qiushan Mio behind him. Both of them saw shock in each other's eyes.

"What's going on with you seniors? Why are you all standing here..." Azumi, who was the last to come up, slowly pushed through the crowd. As soon as she stepped up and saw Dongfang Bai, she was also stunned.

"Don't get me wrong! We're preparing for a performance! Our class is going to be putting on a play, so we're practicing here!"

Dongfang Bai seemed to realize that she had been misunderstood, and immediately made a flustered explanation, causing Tainaka Ritsu to swallow back the words she was about to say.

"We didn't say anything, so why are you so flustered?" Kotobuki Tsumugi covered her mouth and chuckled. Akiyama Mio breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the explanation, as she had almost thought she had stumbled upon something terrible.

"Mio, you guys are here too, and you said 'practice', could it be...?" Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow, as if he had already noticed something. Sure enough, Azusa's face turned red, and she turned her head away as if she was trying not to laugh.

“Our class is also going to be in a play, and it’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’.” Ritsu Tainaka covered her face, looking utterly hopeless. She never expected that she would have to explain this to others three times today.

"So you two are the main characters? Ritsu plays Romeo, and Mio plays Juliet?" Kato Megumi asked softly. As soon as she said this, the Saint noticed a clear change in the expressions of the two girls opposite him.

Oh no, it seems they've hit a nerve.

“No, quite the opposite…” Akiyama Mio squatted down and began to draw circles on the ground with her right index finger.

"Exactly the opposite?" Ruri Gokou was taken aback. If that's the case, it means that the male lead Romeo is played by Mio, and the female lead Juliet is played by... Ritsu?!

What a strange combination! She had worked as a web novel screenwriter for two years before writing her own novel, and she had never imagined such a bizarre pairing.

What is this, Luo Mio and Zhu Luye?

"Laugh if you want to!" Ritsu Tainaka shouted at Dongfang Bai with a self-deprecating look. Although he tried his best to hold it in, it turned out that it was impossible to hold back when you really wanted to laugh.

He was holding it in so hard that his shoulders were trembling. Just thinking about how the boyish Yu was speaking in a sweet, delicate voice on stage made him feel a surge of laughter...

"Damn it, you actually laughed! Mio, give her the severe punishment!"

Ritsu Tainaka rushed over and leaped up, aiming a chokehold at Kagura Sora's neck. Mio Akiyama, also feeling ashamed and indignant, immediately grabbed Dongfang Bai to prevent him from moving around.

"Wait, wait, I was wrong, I won't laugh anymore!" Dongfang Bai patted the other's arm, not expecting that Tainaka Ritsu, who was only 1.5 meters tall, could jump so high and grab his neck.

It took a while before Ritsu Tainaka released her hand.

"What about Wei? Aren't you in the same class? What role did you play?"

Dongfang Bai looked at Hirazawa Yui, who was grinning foolishly to the side. Upon hearing the question, Yui stood confidently in front of him and then suddenly raised her hands, striking a pose like a wild goose spreading its wings.

Coupled with her inexplicably confident smile, she's quite adorable.

"Is this some kind of new alien summoning technique?" Ruri Gokou exclaimed, her purple eyes wide.

"I play the big tree G! Hehe told me that this is a very important position, it represents the background of the whole play! It's an absolutely indispensable position, and only I can play it well!"

Hirasawa Yui's proud little expression made Dongfang Bai's lips twitch incessantly. Hehe must have made her play a tree because this naturally naive girl couldn't play other difficult roles.

And it's clearly a tree, and it's even labeled "g"? That means there are "abcdef" before it. It's just a play; why would it need so many big trees...?

"Compared to this, my performance with Bai-kun seems relatively simple, since we didn't have many lines." Fumino Furuhashi's initial tension inexplicably dissipated after seeing Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama.

That makes sense. After all, aside from the beginning, Sleeping Beauty is mostly just sleeping, and the prince only appears at the end of the play, so he doesn't need many lines at all.

Compared to the Romeo and Juliet portrayed by Mio Akiyama and Ritsu Tainaka, at least there weren't awkward lines or emotional confessions throughout the entire series.

Suddenly, Fumino Furuhashi gained a lot of confidence.

"What play did Senior Bai's class put on?" Azumi asked curiously as she approached Dongfang Bai.

“Sleeping Beauty.” Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and said in a rather reluctant tone. This sentence obviously attracted the attention of the other girls, and their eyes all turned in this direction.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep... Sleeping Beauty?! That is, the one played by Furuhashi-kun..." Akiyama Mio's eyes started to dart around, and her hands were frantically waving up and down.

"Yes, I'm playing the princess." Fumino Furuhashi's face was flushed, and she was too shy to say that she was a princess, so her voice was very soft.

"Wait! Isn't there a scene in Sleeping Beauty where the prince kisses the princess awake at the end?" Nakano Azusa widened her dark, bright eyes, and her words reminded the other girls as well.

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand! Although there are kissing scenes, we won't actually kiss! This is my first kiss!" Fumino Furuhashi felt her cheeks were burning hot, and she hurriedly explained.

So we didn't really think we were related. Ritsu Tainaka rolled her eyes. Was this a self-admission?

"It seems we're both having a tough time. Let's cheer each other on!" Ritsu Tainaka looked at Dongfang Bai with sympathy, then gently patted his shoulder to encourage him.

"4.9 Ah, if only Shiro could come to our class and play Romeo, Mio would be so happy~"

Ritsu Tainaka helplessly spread her hands and shook her head. Before she could finish speaking, Mio Akiyama, bursting with embarrassment, delivered a straight punch to her smooth, shiny forehead, and Ritsu fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Ryu! We need to practice somewhere else; we can't concentrate here..."

Akiyama Mio covered her face with one hand and dragged the half-conscious Tainaka Ritsu away with the other. If they continued practicing here, they would inevitably have to recite those very embarrassing lines.

Moreover, with Dongfang Bai watching right next to her, it was incredibly embarrassing. She felt that she would probably faint from embarrassment before she even finished her lines.

After finishing a day of practice, Dongfang Bai stretched and took out his phone to check the time. He had been practicing for quite some time. Although Fumino Furuhashi was a little nervous at first, she gradually calmed down.

"That's enough for today. The practice went very well; you can already say you're familiar with your lines," Dongfang Bai said softly to the blue-haired girl in front of him with a smile.

"Ah, okay." Fumino Furuhashi also breathed a sigh of relief. Well, it seems that as long as she puts her mind to it, acting in a play is a piece of cake!

I think I'll be fine going on stage then! Probably.

Dongfang Bai waved his hand, greeted Fumino Furuhashi, and then turned and left. Megumi Sato was already waiting in the classroom, ready to go home with him. When she saw him arrive, the girl showed a slightly sulky expression.

"Bai-kun, you're so slow." The girl puffed out her cheeks, looking quite adorable.

"I'm so sorry, where's Liuli? Did she already go back?"

Dongfang Bai glanced around the classroom but didn't see the black cat. Kato Megumi nodded slightly and said, "She went back early because she had to go back to prepare dinner for her two younger sisters."

"So, is Hui the only one left waiting for me?"

Dongfang Bai chuckled and moved closer to the girl, his cheek almost touching hers. Kato Megumi rolled her eyes, stuck out a slender finger, tapped his chin, and then dragged him aside.

"If it's Eriri, I just saw her. She said 'I don't care about that idiot~' and ran away." Kato Megumi said, while imitating Eriri's voice and posture. Her expression was incredibly similar.

"Eri actually said that? As expected, only Megumi is truly gentle." Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. That Eriri, all she did was 'slightly' tease her at lunchtime…

"Hey~ So Bai Jun still knows me. I was thinking that if Bai Jun kept ignoring me, I would just take a kitchen knife and commit suicide with him."

Kato Megumi uttered terrifying words with a blank expression. Suddenly, she smiled, put her hands behind her back, and her sudden change in demeanor sent a chill down Dongfang Bai's spine.

Although she's said to be a saint, Megumi is actually a cunning person with a dark side. It would be terrifying if she really turned into a yandere.

"Pfft, don't worry, I was just joking." Seeing Dongfang Bai's slightly frightened expression, Kato Megumi revealed a bright smile. Her occasional slyness had given Dongfang Bai a chill.

"There's no need to be so afraid, is there? Bai-kun's expression was all wrong just now." Kato Megumi, carrying her bag, walked side by side with Dongfang Bai, one hand lightly covering her lips, speaking with a smile.

"It's mainly because Megumi, the way you looked just now was really scary!" Dongfang Bai recalled Megumi Kato's smile and the way she put her right hand behind her back, as if she would pull out a gleaming knife at any moment.

"However, even I get jealous sometimes." Kato Megumi turned her head and looked at Dongfang Bai with a slightly serious expression. Her tone was quite formal, and he could tell at a glance that the girl was serious.

Before Dongfang Bai could speak, the girl continued, "Well, even so, as long as Bai-jun still remembers me, that's enough. At least I'm still Bai-jun's 'background heroine,' right?"

The girl revealed a smile that was half gentle and half playful. Since the two had opened their hearts to each other, they had basically reached the point where they could talk about anything. Occasionally, they would chat about some slightly risqué topics.

And it's always Hui, the seemingly innocent female lead, who starts things every time.

“How could I forget? Even if I forgot myself, I could never forget Megumi.” Dongfang Bai said quite seriously. Kato Megumi paused for a second, then suddenly sped up and walked in front, then turned around.

"Then I'll just have to believe Bai Jun for now."

"So, how long are you two going to talk at the door?" The silver-haired girl, holding a black rabbit plush toy, stood at the door and looked at the two of them calmly.

"Huh? We're already home?"

My attention was completely focused on Megumi, and I didn't even realize that we had unknowingly arrived at my doorstep. Megumi Kato seemed to have known this all along, and she revealed a sly smile.

"Long time no see, Xiao Qiong."

"Hmph." Kasugano Sora just snorted at Kato Megumi's greeting. She hadn't forgotten the time when the other party flirted with her on Line. That incident could easily be listed at the top of her black history list.

"Then I'll be going now, Bai-kun. Come stay at my place after our next date, okay?" After Kato Megumi said this, Kasugano Sora seemed to be facing a formidable enemy and ran to Dongfang Bai's side, grabbing his arm tightly.

Kato Megumi couldn't help but smile when she saw this, then waved and left. Perhaps Sora couldn't see it, but Dongfang Bai, who knew her well, understood perfectly well that the Saintess was deliberately teasing Sora.

I don't know why, but Megumi Kasugano, who is usually only a little bit cunning and only 150cm tall, becomes much more cunning in front of Kasugano Sora, as if it's fun to bully her.

"Shiro, you have to go on a date with me next time too! Also, you have to do everything you did with that guy with me, no, ten times would be better," Kasugano Sora said with a dissatisfied look.

"Ten times would kill someone..." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes, smiled helplessly, and reached out to touch the little jealous person's silver-white hair.

"Oh right, I almost forgot something." Kasugano Sora suddenly remembered something and pulled Dongfang Bai towards home, leaving Dongfang Bai puzzled.

"what happened?"

"Don't worry about all that, just come here." He was half-pushed and half-pulled to the door by the girl, and then slowly pushed open the door. The next second, Yamada Elf, dressed in a red Christmas outfit, appeared in his eyes with her hands on her hips.

She was dressed in a red and white Christmas outfit, but her arms and shoulders were exposed. She wore a short skirt and high-top boots. Yamada Elf struck a pose that was a bit hard to understand and said, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Wait a minute, why would someone wear Christmas clothes for Valentine's Day??"

"So slow~" Yamada Fairy complained, hands on her hips and leaning forward slightly.

The girl wore a pair of cute bunny ears on her head, a light pink and white dress, and a bright red bow on her forehead. Her fair shoulders and arms were exposed to the air.

She wore snow-white suspender over-the-knee lace-trimmed stockings and pink slippers for home.
