Chapter 680: I Want to Eat Garlic First
Zhao Xuefeng was ultimately moved by the atmosphere on stage.
He wiped his damp eyes with the sleeve of his long gown and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, first of all, to comfort those students who will be performing on stage later, let me make it clear that my act will not be ranked. Otherwise, it would definitely be first place."
"Hahaha..."
The audience burst into laughter, the solemn and serious atmosphere was shattered by Zhao Xuefeng’s words. People were crying and laughing.
"Actually, I’ve wanted to present this act for many years now, but unfortunately, I never had the chance before... Actually, I don’t have much preaching to do. I just hope everyone respects the virtues passed down from our ancestors and can become a gentleman. Alright, I won’t take up everyone’s time, please continue to enjoy the show."
Clap clap clap...
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience once again.
...
Lin Tian sat in the audience, where the school had specially prepared seats for performers to make it convenient for them to go on and off stage; the seats were also placed quite forward.
Watching the teacher’s back as he left the stage, Lin Tian sighed quietly.
He is inherently like this, such a small old man; even if he’s a bit strict with the students, everyone still respects and loves him.
Soon, the second act started on stage, a song titled "Mid-Autumn". The lyrics and melody made people think of their hometown, evoking a strong sense of homesickness that brought tears to their eyes.
The third act was a skit, "Passing the Driving Test". The audience was laughing to the point that they almost couldn’t catch their breath.
The fourth act was a solo stand-up comedy...
Shi Caiyun walked elegantly onto the stage in high heels, beaming, and said, "The next act is a duet love song, ’Because of Love’, performed by freshmen from Ancient Medicine Class 42, Jiang Sisi and Meng Nan."
Lin Tian widened his eyes, almost thinking he had heard wrong. Meng Nan really went on stage? Why isn’t he singing "Fake Monk"?
It wasn’t until the tall, dark-skinned Meng Nan escorted the cute and charming Sisi, who had her hair in a bun, that Lin Tian believed it was true.
To be honest, Meng Nan’s voice is pretty good, but his appearance, especially standing next to a beauty like Sisi, is something Lin Tian can’t praise...
As soon as the two went on stage, they elicited screams from the crowd.
"All the good cabbages are being uprooted by pigs."
"Yet another flower stuck in cow dung."
"The toad has eaten swan meat."
Meng Nan listened to the comments from the audience, not angry but amused, his face blooming like a chrysanthemum, and said, "Jealousy won’t help."
Then he happily held Sisi’s hand.
"Wow! Is anyone interested in joining forces? I want to beat this guy up!"
"Yeah, beat him up, shameless!"
Sisi glanced at Meng Nan and couldn’t help but laugh. This guy really was thick-skinned.
The accompaniment started playing.
As soon as Meng Nan began to sing, his voice astonished everyone. This guy’s built so solidly, yet his voice is so pleasing.
Together with Sisi’s gentle voice, everyone believed these two could win a good placing.
After two more acts followed, Dai Xueling took the stage and said, "The next act is street dance, a favorite among young people. If you like street dance too, watch how these masters perform. Now, please enjoy the street dance: ’Fire of Youth’.
A group of people wearing fiery red clothes took the stage, bowing to the audience, then each took their positions. As the avant-garde music played, they began to move their bodies in various complex motions.
Many in the audience were excited, hoping to be part of it.
However, Zhou Mi, standing next to Lin Tian, had clenched her fists tightly, her whole face tense. Together with her cool look, she seemed like she was warning, ’Don’t mess with me.’
"This is outrageous! Those jerks plagiarized us without even changing anything. Look, every move is exactly the same as what we choreographed!" Zhou Mi said angrily.
Lin Tian believed that if Wang Sicong were standing in front of her right now, she wouldn’t hesitate to give him a couple of punches.
This dance wasn’t just something they worked hard to choreograph; they had rehearsed it dozens of times, but now it couldn’t be used.
How could this not be frustrating?
"Boss, don’t be mad. When we get on stage, we’ll outdo them," said a boy beside Zhou Mi.
As she was in a fiery mood, Zhou Mi couldn’t be persuaded, and immediately cursed, "Get lost, don’t annoy me."
The man didn’t mind; they were used to Zhou Mi’s attitude. If she were gentle like a little wife, either the sky would fall, or the sun would rise in the west.
Lin Tian’s broad hand landed on Zhou Mi’s shoulder, encouraging her, "Time to show them when you’re on stage, crush them!"
Zhou Mi glanced back at Lin Tian and then quickly looked away, lowering her head, "Got it..."
The other members of the street dance club all widened their eyes and opened their mouths.
It’s over, the boss has changed. Is the sky falling, or has the sun risen from the west?
Feeling the strange looks around her, Zhou Mi also felt embarrassed about her dramatic change in attitude.
She explained awkwardly, "You can’t blame me for the different attitude. Look at the words you use, then look at him. Crush them! Isn’t that badass? Learn more, got it?"
"..."
Isn’t this hiding something right in plain sight?
Soon, the street dance performance on stage concluded. Yet, the audience remained excited, clapping and shouting fervently, wishing they could do a front flip on the spot followed by a Thomas flair.
Zhou Mi’s gaze dimmed, thinking those cheers and shouts should have been for her.
At this moment, the street dancers left the stage, undeniably professional. Even after performing such intense street dance, their breath was still steady, and they looked relaxed.
As they walked towards their seats, passing by Lin Tian and the others, they suddenly all raised a little finger simultaneously. Then they turned that finger downward towards the ground.
"What the hell! I’m going to kill them!" Zhou Mi sprang up from her seat.
With her fiery personality, how could she tolerate this scene?
As she stood up, those beside her also rose. Were they really afraid of them?
"Sit down."
Lin Tian grabbed Zhou Mi’s arm and pulled her down, making her sit.
"Why did you stop me?" Zhou Mi glared with eyes as big as copper bells, looking as if she wanted to eat someone.
"If you hit them now, you’ll be famous, but in a bad way. You’ll lose the chance to perform. If you really want revenge, dance better later, shock them. When backstage, not only will we raise little fingers at them, but we’ll also spit at them."
With Lin Tian’s words, Zhou Mi really calmed down, "Are you serious? We really get to spit at them?"
Lin Tian nodded, "If you want, I’ll spit."
"Then I’ll spit first, I’ll even eat garlic first to disgust them!" Zhou Mi said boldly.
