"Made myself," Xi Linghe replied with a smile, "so I probably can’t introduce it to you."
"Impressive, impressive. When you become a designer, I’ll definitely be one of your loyal customers. Okay, you two get ready. I’m going up first," the excited host said before heading to the stage.
Zhang Shuixuan looked at the two of them with a smile, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, finally converting it into a simple: "Good luck."
"Thank you," Xi Linghe smiled.
On stage, the host took up the microphone, speaking excitedly: "The next program, I believe everyone is looking forward to. It’s by Tianmiao and Xi Linghe from Class A of Grade Three. They are performing, well... anyway, please enjoy the brilliant performance of these two academic stars. They’re not going to give us a live demonstration of answering an exam paper, after all."
Laughter erupted from the audience.
The stage lights went out.
Tianmiao and Xi Linghe walked up to the stage slowly.
Tianmiao gently squeezed Xi Linghe’s hand: "Good luck, you are the brightest star."
The entire sports hall fell silent.
A melodious sound of Xiao rose up.
Then, another beautiful instrument joined in, and for a moment, many people couldn’t quite identify the sound of this instrument.
The lights came on, shining two beams directly on Tianmiao and Xi Linghe.
In the auditorium, many people gasped.
Such a scene, touched the hearts of those present.
The two girls, beautiful like a perfect painting.
Causing people to hold their breath to appreciate this moment.
Xi Linghe held the Dong Xiao, and Tianmiao strummed the Kong Hou, performing together.
No one knew what this piece was, as it had never been heard before.
But it felt like their souls were elevated along with the music on stage.
The audience seemed to see towering mountains, flowing streams, flying birds, blooming flowers, the melting of ice and snow, the alternating of seasons, life flowing endlessly.
Among tens of thousands of people in the sports hall, only the performance of Xi Linghe and Tianmiao remained audible.
All eyes were focused on the stage.
They wanted to carve the images of these two people into their minds and imprint this piece in their hearts.
Li Yingjun stood at the doorway, staring blankly at the two on stage. At that moment, he felt as if he had forgotten himself, yet simultaneously became acutely aware of himself.
When the performance ended, Tianmiao and Xi Linghe stood up and took their bows, prompting the audience to erupt into a vast sea of cheers and applause, nearly lifting off the roof of the sports hall.
"Academic masters truly can do anything," the host said excitedly, returning to the stage, "The strength of these academic masters is truly unknown to us. I really want to ask these two academic stars what else they can do, or perhaps what’s impossible for them?"
......
Li Yingjun turned around, leaving the sports hall.
He knew, the first place in the party would undoubtedly belong to their class.
The school celebration was held very successfully, concluded satisfactorily.
And Xi Linghe and Tianmiao’s performance at the party amazed everyone even more. The forums were flooded with photos of these two, dominating them.
After the school celebration, the school granted a three-day holiday.
Once the holiday was over, when Dai Shiqi arrived at school, she saw Zhang Shuixuan waiting at the school gate, seemingly just waiting for her.
"Shuixuan?" Dai Shiqi greeted.
"I have some good news to tell you," Zhang Shuixuan said happily.
"What is it?" Dai Shiqi asked.
"For the National Physics Olympiad, our class has two spots to compete," Zhang Shuixuan said excitedly.
