It was the second day of their staycation, and Ningning was confused. Well, she and Bella were confused right now.

Keyu and all six of his classmates were preparing a small stage out in the backyard and the two girls were staring at all of them peculiarly. They told the two girls to just sit down while they all prepared for the stage since they were going to show them a surprise performance. Ningning hoped that this time, Keyu wasn't playing any lead role or she was going to lose it.

"What do you think that they're going to perform?" Bella asks in confusion as she watches the other six performing arts students busy themselves.

"I seriously don't know. Maybe that was the reason why they invited us over to this trip. They needed an audience or something." Ningning replies. She was curious. Realllyyyy was curious. Curiosity was going to kill her if she didn't find out what they were planning to do.

"I'm going to ask Key what they're going to perform. I'm really nosy and I feel like I'm missing out if I don't know what's currently happening around me." Ningning says whilst grinning as she stood up from her seat. Bella could just shake her head in disbelief.

"Queen of fomo." Her friend mumbles as Ningning could just chuckle innocently.


She then made her way inside the house as she assumes that Keyu would be in his and Jake's shared room. She was also going to ask what role he was going to play because if he was playing another main role and the genre was romace, she was going to sit this one out. She didn't think that she could handle it.

"Keyy." The girl calls out when she was getting near to his bedroom. She sees that his room door was opened as she peaked inside to see Keyu standing in front of the mirror as he fixes the bowtie that he was wearing. Her boyfriend already in character as he was checking himself out in the mirror.

She was caught in a daze. Ningning too busy staring at him that she forgot the main purpose as to why she even came here. Quickly shaking her head before knocking on the door as it caught his attention.

Keyu looks back as he was a bit surprised to see her.

"Yizhuo, what are you doing here? You were supposed to stay in your seat." He asks her as it made her frown.

"You think someone like me is willing to wait and die of curiosity?" She asks him in return as her answer made him let out a low chuckle. Her face grew red. Something about him laughing whilst he was in character seemed attractive.

He was wearing a butler suit, his hair slicked back as his glasses fell to the bridge of his nose. Goddamnit. Why was did he look so hot in a butler's suit.

"Please let me in on the play. pleasee key."She pleaded as he could just let out a sigh. Ningning knowing that he had accepted defeat as he pulls her inside the room and looked around the hallways to see if anyone was around before closing the door shut.


"It was supposed to be a surprise for the two of you. But oh well then, since my girlfriend is dying to know everything." He says as she flashes him a nervous smile.

"Also what role are you playing by the way... hehe.." She asks as well as he looks at her with one of his brows raised.

"We're going to be performing a short play about a king trying to find his love. Jake is playing the main role and I'm playing as his butler." He first stated.

"So you're not playing the main protagonist?" She says as he furrows his brows. "In what world would they make the butler a main protagonist?" He asks her back.

"Um, charlie chaplin?" She says randomly as he shakes his head in disbelief.

"Gosh, Ning."

"Anyways, the aim of this play was that at the end, Jake was going to go down on stage and declare his confession for Bella. This trip was basically our plan of helping him and Bella together." Keyu informs her as she lets out a gasp.

"I need to tell Bell-" Ningning about to leave when Keyu held her back and covered her mouth with his hands. His action startling her as she looks at him in dismay.

"This was why it was supposed to be a surprise for YOU as well, so you wouldn't leak all this information out to Bella." Keyu sighs before letting her go. She frowns.

"Hey, are you calling me a snitch?" Ningning fumes as Keyu shakes his head slowly. "No. I'm just saying that you're garrulous." He says but that wasn't even any better then what she had just said.

"Okk I'll keep my mouth shut. I'm not forgiving you though for calling me garrulous!"
