Little Bei was the most adapted to acting like Shao Nan. After filming started, she became Little Fish. When she was not filming, she would act like Shao Nan to hone her acting skills.
Little Bei’s determination and acting skills were no joke. The entire production team didn’t notice anything was amiss with Little Bei and really treated her as Shao Nan. Director Jiang praised Shao Nan for being a genius. Because filming went smoothly, he praised Little Bei every day.
Little Bei was like a fish in water and felt extremely happy. This made Shao Nan suffer. He was forced to become Little Bei, and he really didn’t know how to act. He had a wig on his head and a dark expression on his face every day, looking very unwilling all this while.
Of course, he was even more unwilling to wear a dress. This was where he drew the line, so Little Bei and Mu Jingzhe didn’t force him.
Everything went fine. However, Shao Xi would tease Shao Nan from time to time and he kept calling him ‘younger sister’. He was a truly wicked older brother. He even wanted Shao Nan to wear a dress and take photos of him so that he could mock him.
Shao Xi didn’t succeed. What was surprising was that Shao Dong actually also teased Shao Nan. Even though he knew that Shao Nan didn’t like having his head touched, he still stroked his head all the time and said that his younger sister was obedient.
The two of them were the happiest when Shao Nan acted as Little Bei.
Oh, there was also Xiao Wu. Even though Xiao Wu looked obedient, he was also a little mischievous when he interacted with Shao Nan. He would always call Shao Nan ‘Sister’ when there were outsiders around. He kept calling Shao Nan ‘Sister’ and buying him hair ornaments.
Shao Nan was nearly driven mad by his brothers. If Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei hadn’t been coaxing him, he would have quit long ago.
Shao Nan didn’t want to see Shao Dong and the others, so he went to the library more and more often. He basically went there every morning. He even got to know a little boy who also came to the library to read and learn every day.
The little boy was about ten years old and was another little genius. He truly hit it off with Shao Nan.
Later on, every time the little boy came, he would sit beside Shao Nan and learn with him. He would even share some snacks with him. Because he was so enthusiastic, Shao Nan couldn’t refuse.
Just like that, a few days later, Shao Nan felt that it wouldn’t be good to keep eating his food. He also prepared snacks and sweets to share with the little boy. The little boy’s eyes lit up.
“Little Sister Bei, I knew you liked me too. I’ll eat well. Also, I’ve actually seen your movie. I’ve liked you a lot since. You’re very beautiful.”
Shao Nan: “…”
Like? Like what?
I treated you as a bro, but you’re treating me as a girl and you even like me?
Shao Nan didn’t act as Little Bei at all. He was just wearing a wig. Unexpectedly, even so, he was still liked as a girl.
The little boy was only ten years old, but he already knew that he liked beautiful girls. He wanted to play with her forever.
He grinned and pulled Shao Nan’s hand. “Little Sister Bei, let’s go to my house to play today. We’ll get married when the time comes. Have you ever gone through a wedding ceremony? The kind where you bow to heaven and earth…”
Shao Nan was still in a state of shock and speechlessness. He hadn’t expected to hear him mention a wedding ceremony. Although he knew that he was talking about playing house, Shao Nan still resisted.
“I don’t like you!” He avoided the little boy’s hand with a livid face and rejected him. “If you dare say it again, I’ll hit you!”
The little boy was very sad. “If you don’t like me, why do you eat the candy I give you every day? You even threatened to hit me. Boohoo…”
The tranquility in the library was interrupted by the little boy’s sad cries. The librarian quickly went to coax him and deal with this ’emotional entanglement’.
In the end, the matter ended with the little boy leaving in tears. Shao Nan covered his face in embarrassment and left. He didn’t tell anyone about this, but Shao Xi somehow found out about it. He mocked Shao Nan for duping the little boy into giving him snacks and even leading him on and making him cry.
Shao Nan was furious. After this fiasco with the little boy, he didn’t even want to go to the library anymore.
However, he still went in the end. He brought back the snacks of the little boy he had eaten before, wanting to prove that it hadn’t been his intention to dupe him into giving him snacks. However, he didn’t see the little boy again.
The little boy was heartbroken by the rejection. The library had become a sad place for him, so he no longer wanted to visit it.
While Shao Nan was in a depressed mood, the final exam arrived in the blink of an eye. Shao Nan first returned to the village to prepare for the end-of-semester exam. He had originally thought that if Little Bei returned, he wouldn’t have to act like her when he went to school. In the end, when it was time for the exam, Little Bei hadn’t returned yet.
The production team at Little Bei’s side was on a really tight filming schedule, so although she applied for leave, it was delayed. She only rushed back after the exam started.
Little Bei didn’t have time to change out of Shao Nan’s attire. On the other hand, because the exam was starting soon, Shao Nan had no choice but to put on his wig again and represent Little Bei by entering the examination hall first.
The person invigilating the end-of-semester exam wasn’t a teacher from their school, but one from another school. When he saw Shao Nan, he specifically took a few more glances, but he didn’t look at the name Shao Nan had filled in.
Little Bei finally arrived after the exam started. The siblings heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally fill in their real names.
After the exam, Shao Nan was about to go back with Little Bei to end this performance as soon as possible, but he was quickly surrounded.
Both Shao Nan and Little Bei had a good relationship with their classmates at school. After handing in the exam papers, the classmates approached them to check the answers one by one. Their enthusiasm made the siblings deflate, forcing them to continue acting.
“Little Bei, what was your answer to the second question?”
“Little Nan, what was the answer to the fifth question?”
He was fine answering the questions, but why was that classmate holding his hand?
Shao Nan looked at the young classmate holding his hand and immediately broke free. However, he had just managed to break free when his hand was quickly held tightly. “Little Bei, you haven’t been coming to class recently. We’ve missed you a lot.”
“Yeah, Little Bei, we’ve been waiting for you to come back. Do you think my hair ornament looks good?”
Shao Nan was about to continue struggling to break free when his other hand was grabbed firmly. Then, he was asked if the hair ornament looked pretty.
“Little Bei, do you think my clothes look good on me? I saw you look good in them last time. After I told my mother, she bought me a very similar dress,” another girl added.
Shao Nan: “…”
Why was she holding his hand?! He so did not want to discuss which hair ornament looked prettier.
Shao Nan looked at Little Bei for help and saw that Little Bei had already been pulled away by the brats. Compared to Shao Nan, Little Bei was much calmer. After all, she was used to acting.
But… dragging her to the back of the school to compete with her and see who could pee further was overboard.
There were some fourth- and fifth-grade students who came to look for Shao Nan, as well as some sixth-grade students. Despite their age, they started to toss aside their school bags, take off their pants, and take their things out, not giving Little Bei any time to react.
Little Bei accidentally saw this and widened her eyes before abruptly covering them.
The young friends couldn’t take it anymore. “Hurry up, Shao Nan. We’re waiting for you. Why are you covering your eyes? Don’t sit out again.”
Little Bei covered her eyes tightly. “No, I’m not competing anymore. I don’t feel the urge to pee now. I can’t pee.”
“Since we all have an urge to pee, so must you. Hurry up, we’re waiting for you. We’re about to start. One, two, three, begin!”
Everyone started competing. Little Bei covered her eyes and didn’t want to look. “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, she ran away. It’d be too late if she didn’t flee, as she didn’t have it!
