Sophia had been binging on Michael’s movies over the past two days. During that time, she heard the rumor claiming that he had acted in the roles of an effeminate man, a transexual dancer, a pervert, a villain, and even a moronic and domineering campus beau with Eighth-Grader Syndrome. However, he never took on any roles that were military-themed.
Therefore, she was probably one of the few people who had seen him in a military uniform.
After binge-watching his movies, she finally got what was so attractive about him. Thus, she nearly drooled when she saw how fit and stunning he was in his military uniform. Then, she suddenly realized something—it’s already daytime!
It’s broad daylight! But, he’s still here with me! It’s over! Tomorrow, the entertainment news will be plastered with the headlines: ‘Academy Award for Best Actor Winner, Taylor Murray, Slept Over at a University Student’s Room, Dispelling Wife-Jinxer Rumor!’ Then, I, Sophia Edwards, will drown in the drool of his fans! Just thinking about it is scary!
On the other hand, she remained in a daze until the door closed behind him.
He’s going to be here today? That face of his is so ostentatious! No matter where he goes, he exudes the aura of an idol! Even if his nostrils were covered in greasepaint, it still wouldn’t be able to cover up the aura he exudes! If he’s here, won’t it cause a riot?
Sophia glanced at the time and saw that it was still early. Even so, she had to get up earlier to prepare. She also planned to get Stanley from next door to help her practice in a while.
In the end, she didn’t need to look for him. While she was dressing, Stanley was already knocking on her door. “Hey, Sophia! Wake up! Let’s practice a little before the military parade!”
Thus, she hurriedly straightened her clothes, smeared some greasepaint on her face, and ran out.
Upon opening the door, she exclaimed, “Oh my God! That scared me!”
Stanley stood outside the door with greasepaint exaggeratedly covering his entire face—so much so that even his mother wouldn’t be able to recognize him. There were three or four streaks of greasepaint painted on both his cheeks and a coarsely-drawn ‘King’ written across his forehead.
She was utterly speechless at his display. “Stanley, what the hell did you paint on your face?”
He didn’t want to do this either. “You know; most of the members in the Superb Company are from the Four Great Families. You see; we are pretty affluent. So, we want to keep a low profile. We usually maintain a very, very low profile in school. If we are too ostentatious when revealing our faces today, the school might get into trouble next time.”
That’s right; if the people in the school learned about Stanley’s identity, they would fawn over him until he was floating in the sky! No, he couldn’t fly even if he wanted to! He would have too many bootlickers hanging on to his legs! He wouldn’t be able to lift off from the ground!
She considered it briefly, then turned around and exaggeratedly smeared more greasepaint across her face—so much so that even her mother wouldn’t recognize her.
It’s okay; it’s enough as long as my husband and my son can recognize me.
Then, they found a place to practice and got into the groove. When they saw that it was almost time, they headed over to the training field where the military parade was held.
Along the way, they saw many students. Sophia had not seen any other students outside of the Superb Company in a long while. Thus, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of camaraderie when she suddenly saw so many other students.
Today, the students were very enthusiastic. It was probably their happiest day since entering the camp—even happier than when the crew went to watch ‘Doctor Invincible’! After all, there were too many reasons to rejoice that it was hard not to be happy!
Firstly, it was finally the day of the grand military parade. Once the military parade was over, it meant that the devilish military training was over. By tomorrow, they could get on the bus and leave this place! Finally, they no longer needed to sleep on bunk beds, eat military meals, and squeeze in time to shower!
Secondly, after the military parade, the best team would be able to eat dinner with Joel Fletcher!
