章 22: Becoming A Princess

Two days have passed since Li Hua received the script for the drama club spring performance. Once she got AI a book on 'Sleepy Beauty', she was able to create different simulations that will help Li Hua become just like the princess in the story. With tomorrow the day of the audition, Li Hua has been spending all of her free personal time in the 'Naline Space', practicing and rehearsing her scene.

When the morning classes finished, Li Hua wanted to go to the school rooftop garden to practice but was stopped by Qi DaiYu and Xi Xinye. "Li Hua, where are you going? Let's have lunch together!" Qi DaiYu said with a bright smile. Li Hua wanted to decline but then she felt that she has been ignoring her friends these last two days and didn't want to continue being rude toward them. Grabbing her wallet, the three girls made their way to the cafeteria, while talking about school and other interesting topics.

After they got their lunches and was halfway through, Qi DaiYu put down her chopsticks and gave Li Hua a curious look. Sensing that look, Li Hua titled her head, "Um, what's wrong? Why are looking at me like that?" She asked. Sighing, "I'm curious, that's all. I was just wondering when you were going to tell us about the play. I know your club has already chosen a play, so tell us which part you're going to audition for?" Qi DaiYu asked.

"I was thinking about trying for the lead role." "Lead role? So you want to be the princess." Qi DaiYu said smiling. With a red face, Li Hua nodded her head. Xi Xinye glanced at her petite friend and smile, "I can see you being the princess, you definitely have the looks for it." She said.

"You're so right! Li Hua, you are petite, adorable and already have the gracefulness and elegance of a princess." Qi DaiYu said making Li Hua blush from the compliments. "Thank you both for saying that but we'll see how the audition goes, besides there are a lot of more seniors in the club with more experience than me. Even if I don't get the lead role I'll be happy to just get a part and entertain the audience." Li Hua said with a smile.

Hearing Li Hua's modest words, the other two girls really thought that Li Hua was very mature and wasn't like other drama members who want the spotlight. As the girls threw their lunch trash away and walked back for afternoon classes, Xi Xinye gave Li Hua a warm smile. "Even if there are more seniors in the drama club, at least you'll have our supports and prayers that you get the role." With a bright smile, "Thank you. Thank you both." Li Hua said cheerfully.

For the last two days, Li Hua didn't have to worry about Li Ling, seeing as she locked herself in her room right after dinner. While Li Hua did worry a little about not getting the role, having Li Ling panic gave her more time to strengthen her bond with her family. Only two days have passed bonding more with her parents and it allowed her to receive a lot of love points. Bidding her family a good night rest, Li Hua locked her door and entered the 'Naline Space'.

As soon as she was inside, she went right into the simulation room and had AI bring up another 'Sleeping Beauty' simulation. After two hours in the simulation, Li Hua then went to the 'Wonder Spa', she got a full beauty makeover in the parlor and spent an hour in the hot spring. Before she left the space, she enjoyed a rose tea that will bring out her inner elegance and a cream puff that will give her joyfulness of youthful lady with AI.

Li Hua went to the exit door but was stopped by AI, "My friend, I did a little upgrade to the simulation room. If you can pass the simulation room with full marks then you'll truly become a princess in every way but the name." AI said with a wide smile hoping to please Li Hua.

Not thinking that the simulation room had such a function, Li Hua went right back inside and entered the newly upgraded simulation. It took an hour for her to pass every obstacle that put her skills as a princess to work but she eventually passed with full marks.

Exiting the room for a second time Li Hua found AI waiting for her with sparkly eyes. "My friend, you look so amazing," AI said in awe. Touching her face, "Really? Do I seem that different to you?" Li Hua said smiling. Nodding with enthusiasm, "My friend, you were always pretty and amazing but now you have a different glow than usual." The flower girl said hugging Li Hua.

Li Hua smiled and looked at her reflection in the lake, even she had to amitted that she looked much brighter. Exiting the 'Naline Space', Li Hua got into bed with a happy aura around her, she couldn't wait for her audition tomorrow.
