During a conversation, Mei and Jing try to convince Su-zai to become friends with Zhou because Zhou is a friend of Wei's. Su-zai initially refuses, but after Mei begs and starts to cry, Su-zai reluctantly agrees. Su-zai explains that since tomorrow is the drama selection and they are acting as the story writer and director, they will make Zhou a friend then. When Jing asks how Su-zai already knows the drama lineup, Su-zai keeps it a secret.
After classes end, everyone goes home. The next day is the voting result day. The class President announces the results, revealing that Mei has been voted as the female lead and Zhou has been selected as the main lead.
After the President announces that Mei is the female lead and Zhou is the main lead, Wei congratulates both Mei and Zhou on winning the roles in the drama. Wei tell theme about that he's the director
"Wait, what?" Su-zai blinks, looking between Wei and the drama lineup on the blackboard. "You're the director?"Mei, still wiping away lingering tears of joy from hearing her name announced as the female lead, lets out a small gasp.
Jing immediately leans over to Su-zai, nudging them with an elbow. "Is this the secret you were keeping yesterday? How did you know the lineup?""I didn't know this part," Su-zai mutters, completely thrown off. Turning back to Wei, Su-zai clears their throat and tries to regain their composure.
"Uh, hi. Yes, I'm the writer. I guess we'll be working closely together."Zhou stands nearby, looking equally surprised but offering a polite, slightly awkward smile. Mei quickly steps in, seizing the perfect opportunity to fulfill the promise Su-zai made the day before."See, Su-zai?" Mei beams, her tears entirely forgotten. "It's fate! Since Zhou is the main lead, Wei is the director, and you're the writer, you all have to be friends now.
No excuses!"Su-zai looks at Wei's extended hand, then at Zhou, remembering the reluctant promise made to Mei and Jing. With a resigned but soft sigh, Su-zai shakes Wei's hand. "Alright, alright. Nice to meet you, Director. Let's make this a good show."
