At this moment, the principal strode up to the stage on shaky legs.

He gripped Shen Chengjing’s hands with tears of excitement in his eyes. “Ms. Shen, you played so well! Great acting! This scene of fire was well performed.”

She was confused by his sudden change of attitude. Compared to a few hours ago, his attitude was completely different.

“Great! Awesome!” The audience began to applause.

Today’s best actress was Shen Ziqian.

Although it became a joke since her butt was burned a little by the fire in this play, her acting looked so authentic. No one knew that the fire was real and had scorched her butt.

In the evening, Shen Ziqian found Shen Chengjing.

“I’m surprised by your viciousness. You even got someone to burn me! After I find evidence, you’ll go to jail.” She still looked arrogant despite her disheveled appearance.

Shen Chengjing looked at her with complicated feelings. “I didn’t do it. Go ahead and investigate it.”

She was about to leave when a thought occurred to her. “I think you know better than anyone who was behind Director Lin Hong’s incident.”

After Shen Chengjing left with a proud and cold look on her face, Shen Ziqian kicked a chair hard, which intensified the burning pain coming from her butt.

Liu Sijie who was waiting for Shen Chengjing outside the room ran up and gave her a bear hug.

“Babe, that fire was so awesome. It burned her ass. Haha. Shen Ziqian’s acting sure is good!” Liu Sijie roared with laughter and kissed Shen Chengjing’s cheeks repeatedly.

“You’re disgusting. My face is covered in your saliva.” Shen Chengjing pushed her away and wiped the saliva from her face. Then, she said earnestly, “I have nothing to do with it. I’m confused as to who set the fire.”

Liu Sijie believed her since she never lied. But who did it then if it wasn’t Shen Chengjing?

“Chengjing! Chengjing!” At this moment, someone blocked her way.

Li Shuiwu walked up in excitement and gripped her hand with admiration in his eyes. He said passionately, “Chengjing, please become my girlfriend. I truly like you.”

“Li Shuiwu, let me go.” Shen Chengjing tried to pull her hand out, but he tightened his grip.

Liu Sijie looked him up and down with her arms crossed before her chest. “I say, Li Shuiwu, what’s wrong with you? Don’t forget how you insulted my dear Cheng. Now you come and beg to be her boyfriend when she doesn’t care about you. Don’t you know shame at all?”

Back then, Shen Chengjing had liked him, but he mocked her in public, calling her a wild duck in disgrace and saying that she was no match for him.

“I was young and reckless back then; I didn’t know love. Now, I finally know my heart; my love for her is as endless as the water in the river. Please say yes, and I’ll love you dearly for the rest of my life.” He grabbed her hand and stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips.

Shen Chengjing pulled back her hand forcefully. Seeing Li Shuiwu’s faked affection, she copied Liu Sijie and crossed her arms before her chest, saying sarcastically, “People say that actors are heartless. Mr. Li, you have excellent acting skills. Awesome.”

Li Shuiwu got angry but suppressed it. Today, he had seen how respectful and warm the principal was to Shen Chengjing even though others didn’t pay attention. Even those A-list stars didn’t get this treatment. So, he was sure that Shen Chengjing would make a big turnaround.

“Be a good dog and don’t block our way,” Liu Sijie said coldly and pulled Shen Chengjing away with her.

Li Shuiwu stood still and stared at them with gloomy eyes; he swore to himself that he would get Shen Chengjing no matter what!
