After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 207 - 206 Disgusted to Death

Ai Cheng Hua Lian sat in the audience, looking up at Kiryu Hina, with whom she had had many dealings, the former Student Council President.

Everyone was enchanted by her singing, acting, and beauty.

Only she harbored doubts.

Unlike the other students who knew little about classic theater, when Ai Cheng Hua Lian learned that Kagura Hikaru was going to star in "The Phantom of the Opera," she specifically watched the movie version and knew that the dancer replacing the female lead, Christine, who appears at this moment, was the lead actress of the play, about to engage in a twisted, even bloody and violent love triangle with Raoul and the Phantom of the Opera.

But now, the dancer singing on the stage was unmistakably Kiryu Hina, while Kohinata Motoyo, who was announced as the main actress, instead became a minor character behind Christine, encouraging her.

What was going on, could it really not be a performance mishap? Could it be deliberate?

Had the two of them swapped roles?

The spotlight on the drama manager went out, but the dancer on the stage continued to sing.

Previously hidden in the darkness, the drama employees reappeared, like support staff surrounding machinery, smiling as they fitted the dancer, dressed as Christine, with an elegant white gown, beautiful jewelry, high heels, and applying her makeup before swiftly exiting.

At that moment, Christine was utterly transformed.

From her earlier simple dancer attire, she changed into the real lead actress of the troupe, fair and pure, resembling a true angel descending to earth, and moreover, a beautifully singing musical angel.

The audience exclaimed in surprise, applauding this stunning scene change, just as the audience in the play was moved by Christine’s singing.

The song reached its climax, Christine closed her eyes, and her clear song floated above the stage.

"Looking back at those days, reflecting on those times, thinking about all those things we could never achieve. And the days I stop missing you will never come....."

"Is it you, Christine...?"

Ayakoji Chiyoko, playing Raoul, stepped onto the stage, illuminated by the spotlight.

Unlike earlier backstage, Ayakoji Chiyoko had donned a dark blue coat over her white shirt, adorned with many gold lines that hinted at nobility, making her look more like a young aristocrat.

She lifted her head to look at the ’Christine’ on the stage, and was immediately stunned.

Who could tell her why Kiryu Hina, who was not listed on the cast, appeared on stage?

Why was she wearing Christine’s clothes, singing Christine’s song?!

Ayakoji Chiyoko stood on stage for a full three seconds before regaining her composure.

To the audience, it seemed a part of her acting, but only she herself knew it was not.

She exchanged what seemed like an inadvertent glance with Kiryu Hina on stage, who had a clear flicker of mockery in her eyes.

Ayakoji Chiyoko’s expression suddenly darkened, her fists cracking.

Kohinata Motoyo!!!

With hundreds of pairs of eyes watching from the audience, Ayakoji Chiyoko couldn’t possibly make a scene and ruin the play, so she had to continue performing for now.

She took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing and sealing her anger away.

"It’s been a long time, it seems like ages ago, when we were young and innocent. She might not remember me, but I remember her. Little Lotte, Little Lotte, you loved dolls, you loved dresses, I still remember you....."

Ayakoji Chiyoko, playing Raoul, masterfully portrayed the joy of reuniting with his childhood sweetheart. Stay updated with novelbuddy

The tone was joyful, expectant, her smile conveying the genuine happiness in his heart.

Even Kiryu Hina had not anticipated that, after an initial shock, she could adjust her state so quickly.

They say women are born actors, and indeed that saying isn’t wrong.

Christine finished a song, the spotlight went off.

After a while, it came back on.

Christine sat alone at the dressing table, wearing a gown, surrounded by congratulatory flowers, clearly indicating the performance was a great success.

Knock knock knock.

The knock sounded.

"Come in," Christine said, turning her head.

The spotlight fell on Raoul.

He, too, was holding a bouquet of flowers as he walked in.

"In the attic of our childhood, we listened to our father playing the violin while we read stories to each other. You said—"

"My favorite was every night at bedtime, an ’Angel of Music’ would come to me and sing stories in my mind."

"Little Lotte."

"Raoul."

Christine and Raoul, the childhood sweethearts separated for so long, embraced each other.

The depth of Raoul’s feelings and Christine’s joy in recognizing him moved the emotional audience to sniffle softly.

No one knew that at that moment, the two people hugging on stage actually detested each other so much that they wanted to strangle one another, feeling nauseous about touching each other’s backs, the closeness of their bodies, and smelling the perfume on her.

Unlike Christine and Raoul.

Kiryu Hina and Ayakoji Chiyoko, however, were genuine rivals, archenemies.

Especially for Ayakoji Chiyoko, the woman before her had conspired with Kohinata Suse to deceive her and Kagura Hikaru, tricking them into performing this clownish play.

Still in her acting mode, she wasn’t thinking about the deeper meanings behind this, but she remembered to pinch Kiryu Hina’s waist as they hugged part to get back at her.

Kiryu Hina was quite tolerant, showing no unusual expression on her face, but she also pinched Ayakoji Chiyoko hard while they were holding hands, her nails digging in.

Ayakoji Chiyoko’s eye twitched.

The two looked at each other, maintaining pleasant faces as they exchanged pleasantries about their reunion, no one knowing what they were really thinking.

Soon after, Christine claimed she was tired from the performance and needed to rest, sending Raoul off.

Ayakoji Chiyoko walked down the stage, each step on the staircase heavy.

"How did it go?" Kagura Hikaru was waiting at the entrance to greet her.

Although he couldn’t see much of the performance detail from here, at least Ayakoji Chiyoko hadn’t misspoken any lines or made any mistakes, which was good enough for a drama novice.

He had thought that the play was progressing smoothly, but then he saw Ayakoji Chiyoko coming offstage with a dark expression and immediately felt a pang of alarm in his heart.

"Was there an accident?"

"..."

Ayakoji Chiyoko was silent, casting a few doubtful glances at him, but seeing his genuine surprise, she suppressed her inner doubts.

It seemed to be Kohinata Suse and Kiryu Hina acting on their own initiative.

No, members of the Drama Club didn’t seem surprised at all, not panicking in the slightest; obviously, they were in the know.

So, the entire play, only she and Kagura Hikaru were left in the dark.

Ayakoji Chiyoko took a deep breath, the anger within almost reaching her face.

"There was a slight issue on stage."

"?"

"Prepare yourself, Kiryu Hina is up there."

She said this.

Kagura Hikaru frowned deeply.

The ominous feeling had come true; was this what Kohinata Suse had been hiding?
