Chapter 396: 389, The Ugliest Male Protagonist in History! (2)

As a girl, Zhu Dandan did some quick mental math—this was probably the third time Wang Chao had refused to kiss her, right?

Zhu Dandan had set a rule for herself: ’nothing over three times’. So, after being rejected by Wang Chao for the third time, she asked again, her determination not to be stifled, "Are you sure you don’t want to kiss me? Are you sure? Let me tell you bluntly, if you don’t take this chance, I’ll never bring it up again..."

While saying this, Zhu Dandan was shaking Wang Chao’s hand back and forth, her lips slightly pouted, in a coquettish manner.

At that moment, Wang Chao looked down at her, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, seemingly in a dilemma.

"I’ll give you three seconds to think about it."

Zhu Dandan held up three fingers and, seeing his troubled face, started counting down without waiting, "3..."

"2..."

With each number she counted, Wang Chao’s internal struggle and tension increased!

Just as she was about to count out ’1’, Wang Chao tightened his grip on her hand, clenched his teeth, steeled his heart, and immediately pulled her toward him, bowing his head to cover her lips with a kiss...

Only!

His lips landed on Zhu Dandan’s forehead!

Even though he had mustered all his courage and continuously psyched himself up, Wang Chao’s boldness in this regard was still minimal...

So much so that, in the end, he only dared to kiss Zhu Dandan’s forehead.

Zhu Dandan hadn’t expected that her pressing would actually lead to a kiss!

Though it was just on the forehead, in that instant, Zhu Dandan, feeling his kiss, couldn’t believe it and her eyes widened. Her lips curved slightly upwards, a trickle of joy blossoming deep within her heart...

Wang Chao’s lips lingered on her forehead for a dozen seconds or so. During this brief time, Zhu Dandan could distinctly feel Wang Chao’s breath fanning across her forehead, his lips cool and trembling slightly...

He was nervous, huh?

Zhu Dandan muttered to herself inwardly.

Realizing his nervousness only made the curve of Zhu Dandan’s lips rise higher.

A while later, when Wang Chao’s lips left her forehead, a flush of redness tinged his square face, a hint of shyness emerging as he mumbled, "Well... that’s that."

"What do you mean, ’that’s that’?"

Zhu Dandan pursed her lips and looked at him with a hint of amusement, "Are you satisfied just like that? Facing my lovely little face, is this really all you want?"

Wang Chao instantly realized that Zhu Dandan wanted more than a peck, she was hinting at a deeper kiss!

Oh...

As an 18-year-old experiencing his first romance and not too versed in more adult affairs, Wang Chao was immediately timid!

"Let’s leave the rest for next time..."

Wang Chao’s hand at his side tightened into a fist, out of Zhu Dandan’s view, clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Fine then..."

Zhu Dandan pouted, "Next time, it’ll be you who takes the initiative. Anyway, I won’t bring up this matter again~"

Wang Chao nodded, "Got it."

Seeing his square face tense and still flushed, Zhu Dandan couldn’t help but step forward to hug his waist and bury her head in his chest, "Ah, Fang Chao, you’re so cute... The more I look at you, the more I find you dumb and cute... What am I going to do? I find myself liking you more and more..."

Wang Chao took a deep breath, and after a long while, he raised his other hand and placed it on Zhu Dandan’s back, patting it lightly, "Could you not tease me in the future?"

Zhu Dandan: "Huh?"

Wang Chao pursed his lips and finally, boldly and awkwardly spoke, "Don’t be so forward... those things, slowly, I will do them. If you’re too forward, I end up... not daring to."

Zhu Dandan nodded slowly, "Oh... so you think I’m too forward."

Wang Chao: "Actually, you’re quite cute, my type. If you could be less flirty... well... that would be better."

Zhu Dandan couldn’t help but frown in speechlessness.

Flirty? Her? What?

...

After school in the afternoon, the class president Wu Beilei organized a small meeting with the class officials to discuss the performance for the Red May festival and the choir event.

Originally, Wu Beilei was planning to have Pu Sangzhi play the lead role in the stage drama because of her good image and status as the campus belle, which could attract a lot of students’ attention.

But...

Since Pu Sangzhi was already the host of the evening party and considering the fuss Han Feiyi had caused in the morning, which had made Pu Sangzhi too prominent, it was not appropriate to promote her further.

Thus, Wu Beilei organized a meeting with the class officials to discuss the selection of the actors.

Although the script wasn’t final yet, the main characters within the script were roughly decided.

The minor characters, akin to extras with few lines, were a dime a dozen in the class, so there was no rush to designate them.

The stage play’s pivotal characters were the male and female leads!

Therefore, choosing the right leads was crucial!

About the female lead, class president Wu Beilei listed several names besides Pu Sangzhi’s for the officials to choose from— all the girls with good looks who stood out in the class.

Among them, Zhu Dandan’s name was included!

Seeing her name among the candidates, Zhu Dandan excitedly tugged at Pu Sangzhi’s school uniform sleeve and whispered, "Sangzhi, look at my name... hehe~"

Pu Sangzhi naturally saw Zhu Dandan’s name too and was happy for her, "I’ll vote for you in a bit."

Hearing that, Zhu Dandan nodded vigorously, "Yes! Pick me, pick me!"

"Hey, choose me as the female lead..."

Zhu Dandan not only said this to Pu Sangzhi but also passionately pitched herself to the other class cadres, "Wen Miao, you pick me too, cast a vote for me as the female lead..."

In no time, a circle of class cadres around her had all been lobbied for votes, right under the watch of the class president, Wu Beilei...

However, what was strange was that this time the class president, Wu Beilei, didn’t interfere with Zhu Dandan’s canvassing; she turned a blind eye to Zhu Dandan pulling votes.

Consequently, when the votes for the female lead were tallied, Zhu Dandan naturally had the most!

The role of the female lead in the stage play was thus secured by Zhu Dandan.

"Thank you, everyone! I sincerely thank you all!"

Zhu Dandan clutched her chest and bowed in gratitude to the class cadres, "I, Zhu Dandan, hereby promise to everyone that I will play the female lead well! I will strive to win first place for our class! Thank you!"

Surrounding her, the class cadres clapped half-heartedly as a token of congratulations to Zhu Dandan.

After that, the group of class cadres began to choose the male lead for the stage play.

And among the male and female leads, picking the male lead was obviously much tougher than picking the female lead!

Because... the looks of the boys in Class 1, Grade 1, could be described as picking the finest from a bunch of bad apples!

The class president, Wu Beilei, listed several names, selecting all the boys in the class who looked somewhat decent, but...

Just looking at this list of names made Pu Sangzhi feel incredibly fortunate; thankfully, she didn’t have to play the female lead!

Similarly, Zhu Dandan’s face also looked as if she had eaten excrement as she looked at the list of names!

"Ah..."

She couldn’t help but frown and open her mouth, a look of dismay on her face, "President, can we reselect the female lead?"

Wu Beilei refused, "It’s the same whoever you choose, and others are even harder to appease. You accepted it so readily, so of course, you’re the most suitable for the role."

Zhu Dandan: "Um..."

Does "others are even harder to appease" mean that no one is willing to be the female lead?

Oh dear...

She had practically thrown herself into the fire pit!

Zhu Dandan was in extreme agony!

"Wait, President!"

Zhu Dandan made a last-ditch effort, "Can we invite a boy from another class to help? I can invite a more handsome boy from another class..."

Wu Beilei rejected her again, "Class 1’s honor must be earned by Class 1 itself. It’s not like we have no boys! Hurry up and choose, everyone cast your votes, let’s start~"

Following that, the voting process for the male lead also officially began.

Surrounded by this circumference of subpar choices, the class cadres were all very puzzled!

Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao, as Zhu Dandan’s best friends, could only try to pick someone from these boys who looked slightly more presentable...

They crossed off one name...

Then crossed off another...

And another...

Crossed off...

Cross...

In the end, after a heated discussion and voting... there were no names left!

Having no other option, the class president Wu Beilei let Zhu Dandan make her own choice, taking it as final!

With no choice left, Zhu Dandan casually selected the only slightly fair-skinned boy in class who was also skinny and effeminate... Chen Mo!

"Not bad, not bad, you have some taste."

Wu Beilei nodded in approval at Zhu Dandan’s choice, "I’ll inform Chen Mo tonight, and from next week on, we’ll start rehearsing officially."

Zhu Dandan was so sad she was almost crying, "President, I request no kissing scenes..."

Pu Sangzhi consoled her, "No kissing scenes, Dandan."

Zhu Dandan said again, "I request no hugging scenes..."

Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment, "Hmm... seems like we can also do without those."

Zhu Dandan grasped Pu Sangzhi’s hand, looking at her with deeply emotional eyes, "I request no eye-contact scenes, conversations that close within ten centimeters, touching scenes, hand-holding scenes, and any ambiguous scenes..."

Pu Sangzhi’s mouth twitched, "Dandan, stop your futile struggle..."

Wu Beilei, however, handed Zhu Dandan a script straight away, "No picking and choosing scenes! You’re not a big star! You can’t be picky about the script!"

Today, it was probably Zhu Dandan’s unlucky day... Nothing good happened all day long!

Han Feiyi bullied her...

Wang Chao didn’t kiss her lips...

Playing the leads with the effeminate Chen Mo...

Today’s tragedy, truly the worst in her life!
