19:00 pm, half an hour before the start of the cultural evening party.
He Qixue was wearing a minority costume and was putting on makeup when she suddenly saw Murong Qingsi's figure in the mirror. She hurriedly asked,"Ms. Murong, have you seen Xiao Xin? Why isn't he here yet?" Xiao Xin followed Murong Qingsi in. He Qixue treated him as another student and didn't pay him any attention.
Murong Qingsi secretly laughed in her heart, but she didn't immediately point it out. She pretended to be anxious and said,"Yeah! This Xiao Xin, what time is it now? Why isn't he here yet?”
At this moment, Lin Xiaonuo, who was in charge of hosting the party, wore a snow-white long dress and walked in from outside. After checking the situation with the leading teachers of the few academies, she walked over and asked,"Ms. Murong, your School of Finance has two performances tonight. Solo dance 'Lusheng Love Song' is ranked seventh, and guitar performance 'Memories' is ranked twelfth. Are the actors in place now? The welcoming party is about to begin!"
He Qixue quickly said to Lin Xiaonuo,"Senior, Xiao Xin from our class hasn't come yet. Can you change the order of his program?”(From/Point/Chinese/Text/Web/First/Release/Consecutive/Annals)
Due to Xiao Xin's words when he withdrew from the martial arts society, Lin Xiaonuo's impression of this " pervert " was extremely bad. She said without hesitation,""How about this? I switched his program to the last one. If he still couldn't appear, he could only consider it as a forfeit!”Based on past experience, the finale would definitely suffer a disadvantage in the scoring. Due to her preconceived notions, Lin Xiaonuo didn't think that Xiao Xin's program could win an award. It was no big deal to intentionally put him last.
Just as Murong Qingsi was about to object, someone behind her said,""This arrangement is very good."
Lin Xiaonuo did not notice who the other party was. She thought that it was another teacher from the School of Finance and hurriedly left backstage.
"Sigh! Wait a minute!" He Qixue shouted from behind, but unfortunately Lin Xiaonuo didn't hear her. She could only helplessly say to Murong Qingsi,"Ms. Murong, let's go find Xiao Xin! They should try to change the sequence of the program. This guy was really troublesome. He didn't even have a phone and he didn't know where he was.”
"There's no need to change it. It doesn't matter if you're the last to appear.”Xiao Xin said. To him, this performance was just a mission. It didn't matter which one was on stage or whether he could win an award.
"Who are you? What does it have to do with you?" He Qixue was very angry and glared at him. Why did this student keep interrupting? Perhaps it was another academy that came to cause trouble.
Murong Qingsi couldn't help but laugh when she saw He Qixue's tense face."He Qixue, he's Xiao Xin. Don't you know him?”
He Qixue was startled and carefully examined her face. There was a resemblance between her eyebrows, but Xiao Xin's skin was not as fair! At this moment, she suddenly remembered the other party's voice. As the two of them looked at each other, she immediately cried out in surprise,"Xiao Xin, why did you change after not seeing you for an afternoon?”
"How is it?" Murong Qingsi smiled. With such a handsome man on stage and a charming school song, everyone would definitely be shocked. You have to work hard. Don't let him snatch the first place away!”
He Qixue stole a glance at Xiao Xin and couldn't help but blush even more. She bit her lips and said,"If he has the ability to get first place, I will definitely be able to win the award.”
Murong Qingsi clenched her fists and said with a beaming face,""That's good! Our School of Finance will strive to get both of them nominated and bring back two trophies.”
※※※※※※
At 7:30, the welcoming party officially began.
As the red curtain was pulled open, the figures of the two hosts appeared in front of the entire school. The male host was the head of the Student Union's publicity department, Jiang Changming, while the female host was the deputy head of the Student Union, Lin Xiaonuo.
The female host was originally the student council's literature and art minister, Lan Ruirui, but she had a bad cold yesterday and her voice was hoarse, so she had to let Lin Xiaonuo replace her temporarily. Lin Xiaonuo was worthy of being the second most popular campus belle in Z University. Not only was she good at martial arts, but her other talents were also extraordinary. Although it was a last-minute rescue, she quickly got into the mood.
Tonight, Lin Xiaonuo was wearing a snow-white dress. Her hair was tied up high, and there was a dazzling diamond necklace hanging around her neck. Her figure was slender and graceful, making her look noble and elegant.
The male host, Jiang Changming, was a handsome man. He was wearing a black suit and had a refined bearing. He had a generous manner and stood beside Lin Xiaonuo. Other than being a little short, there was nothing to be picky about.
As the judges of this gala, besides the principal, vice principal, head of the publicity department, dean of the art college, and a few other school leaders, they also invited three professionals from the city's literary and art world. They were the music director of Huanyu Records, Xie Hai, the deputy general manager of Starlight Entertainment, Huang Yiting, and the creative director of Shengshi Advertising, Shi Mingsheng. In addition, there were also two student judges. They were Ye Mengshi, a third-year student from the Music Department, and Situ Qinghui, a second-year student from the Dance Department.
Before the party began, it was naturally the principal's turn to speak. Z University's mission was to be realistic and pragmatic. Principal Lin Hongyu's speech style was the same. The five-minute speech was concise. It was filled with encouragement and expectations for the new students, wishes for the success of this gala, and even a description of Z University's future blueprint. Every word was witty and humorous, inspiring, and thought-provoking. After the speech, deafening applause immediately came from the audience.
Then, the welcoming party officially began. There were a total of 22 programs from the 12 schools of Z University. The Faculty of Arts was the first to take the stage. A cheerful and lively female student sang the prologue of "Prosperous Times" and gave the entire party a good start.
The quality of this batch of new students was very high. In order to participate in this evening party, everyone could be said to have shown their abilities and thought of ways. Skits, magic tricks, martial arts, singing and dancing, they all appeared on stage one by one, bringing waves of excitement. The freshmen from the School of Information and Computer Science were even more impressive. They actually brought a computer onto the stage. The performer randomly selected one of the dozens of creative ideas proposed by the students below the stage and actually compiled a Flash animation within half an hour and played it on the big screen. Although it was only a short 15 seconds, the image and creativity were quite impressive. It immediately won the applause of the entire school. (From/Point/Chinese/Text/Web/First/Release/Consecutive/Annals)
After the Flash improvisation of the School of Information was completed, it was a skit. Next, it was He Qixue's turn to perform a solo dance. He Qixue was waiting by the side of the stage to go on stage when the DJ in charge of recording suddenly ran over and whispered a few words into Lin Xiaonuo's ear. Lin Xiaonuo's expression immediately changed. She walked over quickly and said apologetically,""There's a problem. Your solo dance needs to be postponed.”
"What happened?" Murong Qingsi, who was standing at the side, hurriedly asked.
"It's like this," Lin Xiaonuo explained. The accompaniment tape that He Qixue had submitted to him had suddenly jammed during the audition and couldn't be played at all. We've already taken some measures to remedy the situation. We've arranged for students to search the music library and the Internet in the hope of finding the same song.”
He Qixue was so anxious that her eyes turned red."What should we do? I went to many video stores to find this accompaniment. It's very difficult for you to find it in such a short time. "Love Song of Lusheng" was originally a duet, but I specially adapted it into a solo dance. If I can't perform it, everything will be in vain.”
Lin Xiaonuo immediately left in a hurry and thought of another way. He Qixue stomped her feet anxiously, on the verge of tears. Just as everyone was panicking, Xiao Xin suddenly asked,""He Qixue, isn't this song from the movie 'Marriage Vow?' The first line is played with a lusheng or a gourd flute.”
"Yeah!" He Qixue nodded.
"You mean live accompaniment?" Murong Qingsi suddenly came to a realization. By the way, Mr. Xu from the music academy knows how to play the lusheng. I'll go find him immediately.”
Xiao Xin quickly stopped him and shook his head."It's useless even if we find him. Where can we find Lusheng now? It was unrealistic for Teacher Xu to go back and get it. Why don't you let me give it a try?"
"You?" The two of them looked at Xiao Xin.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Xin said calmly. I've been playing this song for a long time. There's absolutely no problem. However, this was a rescue, so he could only use other instruments to replace it. The effect might not be as good. Just now, I looked at the performance list. There's a flute solo at the end. I went to look for that classmate, hoping to borrow it.”Xiao Xin turned around and left.
Not long after, Lin Xiaonuo brought bad news. As expected, she couldn't find a suitable accompaniment song. She wanted to download it online, but the campus network base station was being repaired. It seemed that it was more reliable to rely on Xiao Xin.
The two of them waited anxiously. After a long time, Xiao Xin finally rushed in.
"I borrowed the flute." Xiao Xin was out of breath from running. He panted for a moment before continuing,"That student was worried that there would be a problem with his flute membrane during the competition and refused to lend it to me. Fortunately, I remembered that a classmate in the dormitory next door had a flute. After several twists and turns, I found him and quickly went back to the dormitory to get it.”
Seeing Xiao Xin sweating profusely, He Qixue was so touched that she didn't know what to say. No matter how good his accompaniment was, he could finally go on stage.
