“S-Senior Student Chen, don’t just suddenly start touching me… it’s really ticklish, ahaha…”
“Mm-hmm~ My little stuttering Junior Student, I couldn’t tell before, but I didn’t expect you to be the type who looks slim in clothes but has muscle underneath… Wow, so firm… Junior, you have no idea. Right now, in this Senior Student’s eyes, you’re like a succulent cabbage that makes me want to gobble you up in one bite~”
“Sigh, Senior Student, I have something to say, though I don’t know if I should say it.”
Ye Zhou let out a sigh and placed his hands lightly on Chen Yuhe’s delicate shoulders, slowly pushing her away. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke his mind.
“To be honest, if this scene were happening in any other club, I’d be more than happy. But it just so happens to be in the Drama and Film Club. Every single one of you has natural acting talent. I can’t tell, I really can’t tell… I can’t tell when you’re being real and when you’re faking it.”
Chen Yuhe’s cheeks were flushed with crimson. She raised her hands in panic, her eyes filled with bashful embarrassment as she panted, “Whew, you scared me to death…”
She took a deep breath and slightly opened the collar of her white shirt, revealing her slender collarbones. Her eyes drooped slightly, carrying a hint of blurred longing as she lightly licked her lips, her expression a mix of charm and seduction.
“Junior Student, I know what you’re overthinking.”
“Do you think I’m a casual woman who falls for everyone I see?”
“Then this Senior Student can tell you very responsibly that you are the first one I have ever had Love at First Sight for, and you will definitely be the last.”
“You still don’t believe me? Right, words carry no weight. In that case, this Senior Student will let my actions do the talking.”
A gust of fragrant wind barged rudely into his nostrils, and Ye Zhou’s mind instantly went blank.
He never expected that Chen Yuhe would actually hug him without another word. She held him tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to merge their two bodies into one.
At the same time, only one question remained in his heart: Was every girl’s body truly this soft and boneless?
Chen Yuhe stood on her tiptoes, burying her head into Ye Zhou’s neck, her cherry lips brushing all the way to his slightly reddened earlobe.
She was jumping with joy in her heart. She had finally gotten to hold Little Ye Zhou in a full embrace for the first time.
Yes, that’s right, hehehe, it’s this unique lime scent on him that makes a person feel intoxicated…
Hmm? Something is off. Why is there a scent of Club Leader Jiang’s perfume on Little Ye Zhou?
Oh, come to think of it, he did seem to have gone in and out of Club Leader Jiang’s office.
In that case, it’s quite normal.
But soon, a few sentences whispered near her ear caused Chen Yuhe to snap back to her senses. She quickly let go of Ye Zhou and took several steps back before stopping.
“Senior Student Chen, I remember the Drama and Film Club seems to have a Club Dating Regulation. I don’t know if it’s newly added or if it’s always been there, but… members are not allowed to date each other. Once discovered, the consequence is to voluntarily withdraw from the club. I think you should know this better than I do. It doesn’t matter to me since I haven’t been in the club long, but you’re different. The club can do without me, but it can never do without you. So, was your performance just now real or fake?”
Chen Yuhe put one hand on her hip and coughed a few times.
Her almond eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, but she couldn’t hide the hint of awkwardness within them.
“Junior Student, I didn’t expect my confession scene to be acted so realistically that you still managed to catch on and see through it. Not bad, you’ve made some progress.”
“There’s a reason I suddenly tested your acting. I passed by the Rehearsal Room and saw that Junior Student Su Zhihan was still practicing drama even though it was so late. And you? You’re slacking off every single day. Anyway, I’ve said my piece. Junior Student, be ready at any time. I’ll be doing surprise inspections from time to time to see if your acting has actually improved. Do you understand?”
With Chen Yuhe’s solemn words, it was Ye Zhou’s turn to feel embarrassed.
He scratched his head and laughed: “Ahaha… isn’t it because I really didn’t have any free time today? But Senior Student Chen, don’t worry. Starting tomorrow, I will definitely rehearse in the Rehearsal Room with Su Zhihan. If we’re going to improve, we should all improve together.”
“Oh! That’s more like it. Then this Senior Student will be going now. See you tomorrow, bye!”
After saying this, Chen Yuhe moved her long, fair legs and walked away very quickly, seemingly afraid that Ye Zhou might say another word.
Ye Zhou shrugged and exhaled.
Just as he thought, according to the Daily Intelligence, this confession and the previous kiss were just accidents.
He was well aware of how much personal charm he actually possessed.
The probability of Senior Student Chen Yuhe confessing to him because of Love at First Sight was about the same as a noble lady in ancient times mysteriously confessing her love to a poor scholar.
Please, that only happens in novels. How could it happen in reality?
Hiss… come to think of it, there shouldn’t be any surveillance in the Prop Room, right?
If there were, the others in the club would definitely treat it as a joke and nag him about it until graduation.
After all, while Ye Zhou said it was nothing, a tiny part of him had actually taken Senior Student Chen’s confession seriously.
Fortunately, having the Daily Intelligence in his head and being well-prepared, he was one step ahead and didn’t completely believe her.
Otherwise, within a few days—no, by tomorrow morning—everyone in the Drama and Film Club would know.

On the other side, Chen Yuhe leaned against the wall in the stairwell and slowly slid all the way down, as smooth as melting chocolate.
She crouched on the ground, her hands tightly covering her burning cheeks, murmuring to herself in an attempt to cool down.
“Phew, that was close. That idiot Little Ye Zhou didn’t take it seriously, otherwise I would have died of embarrassment.”
“But then again, why didn’t he take it seriously?”
“Even though that Club Dating Regulation is a new rule that only started when Little Ye Zhou joined, couldn’t I just date him in secret without letting them know?”
“Aaaah… as expected, I’m the big idiot for not even thinking of that.”
“But it’s okay, Chen Yuhe. Since everyone is in the same club, there’s plenty of time to spend together from now on. Taking down a mere Little Ye Zhou is only a matter of time, isn’t it?”
“Hmph hmph… fight on, Chen Yuhe. You’re not a big idiot, you’re actually a genius.”
“…”

The next day, the sunlight was just right…
There weren’t many classes today. To avoid slacking off again, Ye Zhou simply went to the Drama and Film Club early.
Pushing the door open, he froze for a moment, a bit surprised. Aside from President Jiang Yingxue, there was someone else who had arrived earlier than him.
But as Ye Zhou walked closer, he realized that the woman sitting with her back to him on the sofa was not Su Zhihan, nor was it Senior Student Chen Yuhe.
As a result, the hand he had raised to greet her froze, and the smile on his face turned awkward.
After all, his relationship with her was even more distant than his relationship with Su Zhihan.
She was Lin Shulan of the Drama and Film Club.
Like Senior Student Chen Yuhe, she was one of the club’s core members and a backbone of their acting talent, often participating in the lead roles of important plays.
