Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 27 Acting, Who Can’t!

Wan Chu naturally was very willing to agree to Wan Chu’er’s request, he agreed readily.

"About the tuition, you don’t need to bring it up again. You and your mom rely on her little shoe repair stall to get by. I don’t mind sparing you that bit of tuition, don’t burden your mom with it."

An Lian looked at Wan Chu’er’s expression, and said: "If you really want to thank me, don’t always throw tantrums with your mom, don’t upset her."

Wan Chu’er raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself how this An Lian really cared about her mom, and her attitude towards An Lian softened a bit, and said:

"My mom no longer runs the shoe stall, now she makes pickles for a restaurant, so we aren’t strapped for cash at home. You should take back the US$ 150, otherwise, I won’t learn self-defense lessons from you."

Hearing this, An Lian was quite surprised. He hadn’t expected that Bai Zhixi had finally closed the shoe repair stall, and he didn’t even know. Now that Wan Chu’er was willing to learn self-defense from him, he was quite happy about it.

Having this opportunity to engage, maybe Wan Chu’er would notice his good side and agree to let him take care of Bai Zhixi.

So An Lian quickly accepted the US$ 150.

Seeing An Lian accept the money, Wan Chu’er nodded and asked: "Teacher An, when would it be convenient for you to teach me self-defense?"

An Lian thought for a moment, then said: "How about this, since you also have a lot of schoolwork, come over to my place on Sunday mornings every week to learn, and practice on your own the rest of the time."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher An." After settling the matter, Wan Chu’er left the school.

After resolving a long-standing concern, Wan Chu’er was in a good mood. Unfortunately, this good mood didn’t last long.

Zhuo Yao was standing in a corridor under the teaching building, biting her lip and looking at Wan Chu’er with a resentful face, wanting to say something but too afraid, just staring at Wan Chu’er with a bashful look.

This demeanor made Wan Chu’er feel nauseous to the point of wanting to vomit, thinking: I am not your lover, why are you acting like this!

After ranting in her mind, she suddenly remembered something. Zhuo Yao also had a follower, in her past life, Wan Chu’er, led inadvertently by Zhuo Yao, mistook that person for her own follower, and felt deeply moved, thinking someone could actually love a timid, weak, bullied, twisted person like her, as if that person was Cupid sent to save her.

Naturally, later on, Wan Chu’er did some brainless things, made a fool of herself publicly, turning from an oddball in the second-year fourth class to a laughing stock across the school.

Wutong County being such a small place, everywhere were familiar faces, Wan Chu’er didn’t even dare to go out for a while.

Thinking about this tragic past, Wan Chu’er clenched her fist tightly in her palm, Zhuo Yao was truly vicious, even though it was all orchestrated by her, yet she pretended to comfort Wan Chu’er occasionally, making her even more grateful and close to her.

Wan Chu’er’s emotions were stirred violently for a moment, not wanting to see Zhuo Yao, thinking Bai Zhixi was still waiting for her at home to eat, she turned her head and walked on with her head held high.

Unfortunately, some people are just asking for trouble, insisting on throwing themselves into harm’s way.

Seeing Wan Chu’er only glancing at her, then indifferently shifting her gaze as if she didn’t recognize her, Zhuo Yao got anxious and grabbed Wan Chu’er’s arm.

Ever since their fallout at Wan Chu’er’s house last time, Zhuo Yao couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Wan Chu’er. After thinking, she concluded that Wan Chu’er had a mental breakdown from being hit on the head by Liu Li.

She thought of ignoring Wan Chu’er for a couple of days, assuming that once Wan Chu’er calmed down, she’d naturally come around.

But after days went by without any approach from Wan Chu’er, Zhuo Yao didn’t want to genuinely end her relationship with her.

At noon from the classroom, she saw Wan Chu’er and Teacher An talking on the sports field, and after watching for a few minutes, she came downstairs to wait in the corridor, thinking of extending a gesture of goodwill by approaching Wan Chu’er to reconcile.

Yet when Wan Chu’er ignored her as she walked past, Zhuo Yao couldn’t stop herself from reaching out and grabbing her arm.

"Chuchu, it’s been so long, and you haven’t come looking for me. I’ve forgiven you for scolding me that day. Chuchu, let’s make up. Let’s stop fighting, okay?"

Wan Chu’er felt a fire burning within, wishing this fire could just reduce Zhuo Yao to ashes.

She squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Bitch, let go!"

Zhuo Yao looked at Wan Chu’er in disbelief, her expression changing over a few minutes before saying: "Chuchu, what’s wrong with you? Has someone been saying things to drive a wedge between us? We’ve been playing together since we were young, remember? When you ran away from home, I was the one who took you in."

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but retort with a snort: "Oh, indeed, you were the one who egged me into running away each time, and every time my pocket money ended up in your wallet."

You really are such a fool!

Once again, Wan Chu’er harshly berated herself inwardly.

Zhuo Yao shook her head pitifully, "Chuchu, how could you say that, we’re best friends, remember?"

Wan Chu’er coldly looked at Zhuo Yao, contemplating whether to slap her hard twice or to play along with this false innocent and then find an opportunity to strike back and avenge herself for the past woes.

Seeing Wan Chu’er silent, Zhuo Yao continued, "Chuchu, I saw you talking to Teacher An just now, is he still not over your mom? If you need me, I can help you deal with this, I can write an anonymous letter, drop it in the principal’s office, saying An Lian has ill intentions towards your mom."

These words incensed Wan Chu’er’s heart with anger, she took a deep breath and slapped Zhuo Yao hard across the face.

"SLAP!"

The sound was resounding, Zhuo Yao even staggered for a few steps, immediately leaving a handprint on her face.

Zhuo Yao was stunned, the people around were also taken aback, soon enough, curious onlookers gathered around.

"Wan Chu’er, how could you hit me?!" Unable to continue her act, Zhuo Yao asked in anger.

But Wan Chu’er just blinked her eyes, glancing at the onlookers, she raised her fists to her chest, hunching her shoulders to portray fear.

"Yaoyao, I’m sorry, I’ve been feeling down recently, so I lost control for a moment. Also, Teacher An is a good person, he and my mom were classmates, you shouldn’t spread false rumors about Teacher An, I only hit you because I heard you planning to frame Teacher An."

"We are best friends, friends from way back, you’ll forgive me, won’t you? Besides, I’m just thinking about your well-being."

Forced to suppress her nausea, Wan Chu’er threw Zhuo Yao’s words right back at her.

The surrounding students immediately widened their eyes, a blazing fire of gossip burning within.

Someone immediately spoke, "Wow, Zhuo Yao actually planned to frame Teacher An..."

Zhuo Yao’s eyes widened, "Chuchu, you... you’re lying, I never said that..."

Wan Chu’er interrupted her directly: "Yaoyao, my mom is still waiting for me at home to eat, I have to go now. One more time, my mom and Teacher An were classmates, please don’t frame Teacher An."

After saying this, she turned and left, ignoring the murmurs behind her, and Zhuo Yao’s futile attempts to cover up and shout out.

Watching Wan Chu’er leave like that, Zhuo Yao became anxious, shouting: "Wan Chu’er, how could you hit me?!"

But Wan Chu’er’s figure quickly disappeared, she could only glare at the onlookers saying, "What are you looking at, I didn’t frame anyone!" Then pushed through the crowd hurriedly back to the classroom.
