When Huo Feng sent a ssage to Pu Sangzhi, she was doing woodworking in the girls’ dormitory.
She held a small saw in her hand, cutting wood pieces marked with penciled dotted lines, focused on precision cutting with a serious expression on her face.
The phone suddenly rang, but Pu Sangzhi didn’t imdiately pay attention to it.
She carefully finished cutting a small piece of wood, blew off the wood chips, and then glanced at her phone.
On the phone screen, Huo Feng’s ssage was displayed.
Pu Sangzhi imdiately opened it and saw the ssage from Huo Feng.
She knew Huo Feng had already started rehearsing today.
He said he was going to perform "Phantom of the Opera," and Pu Sangzhi had already guessed he would definitely play the supporting role: the manager Raul.
Pu Sangzhi watched "Phantom of the Opera" during middle school, so she was quite familiar with its plot.
It is a story set in a theater, where the protagonist loves but cannot achieve.
In the story, the female lead might like the protagonist or have feelings for him, but she actually loves the manager Raul.
From a certain perspective, the supporting role is actually the female lead’s emotional destination.
Previously, Huo Feng told her he wouldn’t play lead roles anymore, only supporting roles. Then he told her his next opera performance was "Phantom of the Opera."
Pu Sangzhi sowhat suspected in her heart that Huo Feng was playing the supporting role.
It turned out her guess was correct.
However, seeing Huo Feng actively reporting to her, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t really upset.
She pressed her lips together, hesitated for a long ti, and replied to Huo Feng on WeChat: [Let guess, the protagonist is your friend ’Brother Sijiu,’ the female lead is You Xinran, then the supporting role is you. If I guessed correctly, the protagonist likes the female lead, but doesn’t end up with her because she has deeper feelings for the supporting role. So, your female CP should be the female lead... You Xinran.]
Pu Sangzhi deliberately sent such a long ssage to Huo Feng to make him feel at ease, hoping not to be constrained by her emotions.
After sending it, Huo Feng almost instantly replied: [Wow!]
Huo Feng: [Smart wife! Are you Sherlock Hols? You deduced this!]
Pu Sangzhi replied: [This isn’t deduction, I just know the plot and your community’s situation, so a bit of analysis makes it clear.]
Huo Feng: [You’re still very smart! Wife! I don’t even need to explain to you!]
Pu Sangzhi laughed and typed back: [You don’t need to explain to . But since you did explain, I’ll tell you I’m in a good mood.]
Huo Feng was surprised: [Huh? Wife, were you feeling bad before? Who upset you?]
Pu Sangzhi replied: [No one. I just feel happy because you took the ti to explain even small things to .]
Huo Feng then understood: [Oh~ wife, it’s because I care about you. We just argued last week, I’m now afraid of arguing with you~ so I’ll nip any minor sparks in the bud!]
Huo Feng was still so adept at conversation...
Even without spoken words, Pu Sangzhi could feel his nervousness through the text from the other side of the screen.
He was nervous about their relationship, perhaps also about Pu Sangzhi’s attitude towards him...
Overall, Pu Sangzhi felt that if he was this nervous about such small matters, it showed how much he cared about their relationship from a certain angle.
Pu Sangzhi realized this and felt much more at ease, not overly concerned about him playing a CP with You Xinran again.
Moreover...
In fact, their CP content in the "Phantom of the Opera" plot wasn’t much.
Watching a performance as a whole showed the protagonist’s emotional entanglent was more prominent, so Pu Sangzhi didn’t mind it too much...
Regarding performance aspects, Pu Sangzhi generally didn’t care.
Her only concern was during Huo Feng’s rehearsal period, perhaps You Xinran might do sothing?
Like confessing? Like being ambiguous?
Pu Sangzhi only felt like visiting the set but had no intention of asking Huo Feng to give up his role.
She continued chatting with Huo Feng on WeChat for a while.
The topic of roles was briefly ntioned, Pu Sangzhi sent Huo Feng a picture of her woodworking.
Huo Feng praised her for her skill, saying she might be able to build a wooden house herself soday.
Then, his unprofessional remarks were playfully criticized by Pu Sangzhi.
After chatting for nearly 20 minutes, Huo Feng told Pu Sangzhi he had to go rehearse, his part was coming up.
That’s when the conversation ended.
Pu Sangzhi put down her phone and picked up the small saw for woodworking again.
The focused, experintal her ford a stark contrast with the other three idle girls in the dormitory.
Minal, Mu Mu, and Wei Zixuan occasionally peeked at Pu Sangzhi, feeling pressured upon seeing her so hardworking and diligent...
But it was rely pressure.
Pu Sangzhi’s efforts didn’t really motivate them significantly.
Without exam week, no tasks from the instructors, no experintal arrangents from professors, they refused to move.
Moreover, they had no idea what experint Pu Sangzhi was working on...
Pu Sangzhi’s thinking was beyond their understanding.
...
This week, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng’s lifestyle was basically like this.
Attending school during the day, eating three als together.
At night, they busied themselves with their own tasks, each having their own arrangents.
Though they hadn’t studied together at night for several days, they gradually got used to this mode.
Every night, despite having things to do, they ensured to chat for a little while.
