Chapter 213 The Swan at the New Year’s Day Party [6k big chapter]
Under the leadership of the student union members, each class began to line up into the auditorium and took their seats in the corresponding positions.
It was cold outside but hot inside. Liu Wei stood at the door and unzipped her down jacket.
In front of the auditorium, there are several doors on the left and right sides, which are the dressing room, the dressing room, the electronic control room, and the rest and preparation room for the evening newspaper staff.
“It’s so hot with the air conditioner on.”
In the auditorium, Zhong Jincheng and Gao Qiang were sitting together. He took off his coat and looked back, as if he suddenly realized something. He quickly sat down and said to Gao Qiang in horror: "Have you seen Wang Haoran and Zheng Yifeng?"
Gao Qiang later realized: "No..."
"Holy crap, they two actually have a show??"
Zhong Jincheng spoke in surprise, and suddenly said: "There are three, then who is the last person?"
Because he didn't pay much attention to the girls, he didn't realize that any of the girls weren't sitting in the audience.
On campus, Lu Yuanqiu led Bai Qingxia and ran towards the auditorium: "It's late! It's late! Come on!"
She was obviously late because she was waiting for Lu Yuanqiu, but now it felt like she was almost late because of her... Bai Qingxia thought depressedly in her heart.
She called Lu Yuanqiu five times at noon, but it was Uncle Lu who answered the phone and slapped Lu Yuanqiu awake from his nap.
The two ran very fast, and Bai Qingxia almost slipped behind. Lu Yuanqiu looked back at the girl's resentful expression and couldn't help but laugh, and quickly slowed down.
When passing the road with snowmen, Bai Qingxia was in a hurry and did not look aside. Lu Yuanqiu glanced at it with a slightly surprised expression.
The rooms inside the auditorium can also be entered from the outside. The two went to their respective dressing rooms to put their clothes in the cabinets, and then walked to the dressing room together.
The dressing room was very lively at the moment, with men and women sitting in a row in front of the mirror, and Li Tejiao was actually one of the makeup artists.
"Oh, my aunt! You are finally here. You are the most important program today. You will attract everyone's attention when you appear. I almost thought you had escaped." Li Tejiao saw Bai Qingxia appear and rushed to greet her anxiously. Go up.
But he didn't look at the road and bumped into a chair. Liu Jianqing, who was sitting on the chair, was putting on makeup, and his lipstick was knocked crooked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Li Tejiao quickly turned around and apologized.
Liu Jianqing frowned and straightened the chair vigorously. Li Te gave her a strange look but didn't care, then walked towards Bai Qingxia and pulled her to sit down on the seat.
Lu Yuanqiu looked away and asked: "What about me? Who will put makeup on me?"
"Wait a minute! Senior! Wait for me to finish!"
A girl who was applying makeup to Zheng Yifeng said.
Zheng Yifeng turned his head and said calmly: "I thought you two wouldn't come."
Lu Yuanqiu stood behind him and responded with a smile: "The protagonists all appear later."
Zheng Yifeng chuckled lightly and looked at the mirror, but he was actually looking at the person in the mirror. Diagonally behind him was Su Miaomiao, who was sitting and stroking her eyebrows.
Today, Su Miaomiao was wearing a black slim-fitting evening dress, as elegant and noble as a black swan.
Lu Yuanqiu teased the school girl next to him: "How are you going to put makeup on me later?"
The school girl responded with a slightly red face: "For boys, just trim your eyebrows and put some powder on your face. If you have hair, just spray some mousse."
Lu Yuanqiu was still smiling, but suddenly his expression became condensed: "What does it mean to have hair?! I have a short hair, and I am not a monk!"
There was a burst of laughter in the dressing room, and Su Miaomiao and Bai Qingxia both laughed out loud from their seats.
Liu Jianqing didn't smile. After putting on makeup, she walked towards the dressing room.
"Okay, Senior Zheng." The school girl who was putting on makeup said. When she heard the movement behind her, Su Miaomiao said quickly: "By the way, Yifeng, wait for me at the door of the locker room after you change your clothes!"
Lu Yuanqiu twitched his lips: "Yifeng~~~"
Zheng Yifeng and Su Miaomiao looked startled at the same time. Su Miaomiao explained with a smile: "We are partners after all, so we call them more friendly."
Zheng Yifeng agreed with an unnatural expression and walked out of the dressing room.
Lu Yuanqiu glanced in the direction of Bai Qingxia from his seat. Li Tejiao was helping her put on makeup. He had untied her hair and was applying powder to her face.
"Senior, please stop looking, I'm trimming my eyebrows."
"Okay, okay, I know."
After putting on makeup, Lu Yuanqiu walked out of the dressing room, sneaked to the side door and took a look inside the auditorium. The seats on the stairs were densely packed with students and teachers. The staff of Lucheng Evening News also set up cameras on the stairs. position, ready to shoot.
Don't tell me, this scene makes people a little nervous, even for a veteran like Lu Yuanqiu. After all, this is his first time on the New Year's Day party stage, so he can be considered a junior brother after all.
After waiting for a while, Bai Qingxia finished putting on makeup. Lu Yuanqiu walked next to her and took a look. He couldn't help but praise Li Tejiao: "Hey, Sister Jiao, your makeup skills are pretty good."
Li Tejiao proudly rolled her eyes charmingly: "You're such a talented girl. I've learned to put on makeup since I was a child. How could I not do it? But Senior Bai's face is suitable for light makeup, so I put on light makeup."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the other performers who were waiting to put on their makeup. Su Miaomiao also put on her own makeup at this time. When she passed by Lu Yuanqiu and the two of them, she gave a thumbs up to Bai Qingxia, then bent down and spoke sweetly. Praise: "Qingxia is so beautiful."
"Thank...Thank you, teacher, you too, teacher." When Bai Qingxia heard the compliment, she turned around with some restraint and responded quickly.
"Haha."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at Su Miaomiao's back as she walked out of the room, and said with emotion: "Teacher Su is indeed beautiful, and she has taken advantage of this kid Zheng Yifeng."
"Ah?" Bai Qingxia raised her head, thinking she heard wrongly.
Lu Yuanqiu quickly explained: "Oh, I mean, Zheng Yifeng is so lucky to be able to perform with Teacher Su."
Bai Qingxia nodded accordingly.
After Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking, he looked down at the girl's pure and beautiful face, and said half with emotion and half with a joke: "Lu Yuanqiu is very lucky to meet such a beautiful Bai Qingxia."
Bai Qingxia suddenly blushed and stood up while avoiding her eyes: "I'm going to the locker room to wait..."
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly smiled and reminded from behind: "Put on your dance clothes a few shows in advance. Don't wait until it's your turn. If you need me to help you zipper, call me on your phone."
"Okay."
Lu Yuanqiu's program was the third one in the party.
He went to his men's locker room and put on the clothes he specially prepared for today. It was a set of shirts and trousers that looked sunny and handsome, and the colors were very eye-catching.
"Brother Qiu! You are simply my male god!"
Cao Shuang admired the scene very much and knelt down close to Lu Yuanqiu in the men's locker room. He raised his hands in the air with an exaggerated expression.
Lu Yuanqiu pouted: "Come on, if you want to be handsome, that guy is still the guy." He pursed his lips at Zheng Yifeng, who was wearing a suit and tie.
Zheng Yifeng turned his head and looked over, raised his finely plucked left eyebrow at the two of them, and then showed a warm and refreshing smile as if he was amused by him.
Lu Yuanqiu and Cao Shuang suddenly shook their heads with confused eyes: "So handsome giegie~"
Zheng Yifeng: "..."
The party has started, and the host outside is announcing the curtain.
The programs ranked first are considered to be the second batch of highlights in the entire party. The first batch is in the middle, and the third batch is in the second half.
Listening to the singing outside, Lu Yuanqiu was sitting in the dressing room playing with his mobile phone, no longer nervous.
Soon, the "thick eyebrows" of the student union ran to the men's locker room and shouted: "Lu Yuanqiu is ready!"
Lu Yuanqiu raised his head and put down his mobile phone. He looked at Cao Shuang, Zheng Yifeng, and Wang Haoran with his guitar in hand. He smiled and raised his sword finger across his forehead: "Brother, I will go out first!"
"Come on!!!"
Zhang Yifei in the men's locker room looked at the scene at the door with a calm expression. For some reason, he suddenly felt envious of Lu Yuanqiu's state of getting along with others.
Although this guy is not very likeable, he seems to be really enjoying the time with others and every day of his life.
But Zhang Yifei, except for Liu Jianqing, all the people he was close to in school seemed to be close to him because of money, and they were full of lies.
……
Lu Yuanqiu stood behind the red curtain. When the host finished announcing the curtain, the red curtain opened. He walked out with a bright smile and waved to everyone.
The audience applauded warmly, and Qin Luo and Editor Hu, who were sitting in the first row with the school leaders, also applauded with smiles on their faces.
On the stairs, the bearded photographer remembered Qin Luo's instructions and told the staff next to him: "This one is selected, record a close shot."
"Okay."
The camera quickly focused on Lu Yuanqiu's face.
After sitting down on the chair, Lu Yuanqiu straightened the microphone, and suddenly heard a neat and rhythmic shout after the applause from the audience disappeared.
"Lu Yuanqiu! Lu Yuanqiu! Lu Yuanqiu!"
At first it was just a small group of shouts, but gradually everyone joined in with the rhythm. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the two boys in Class 28 who stood up and shouted loudly - Gao Qiang and Zhong Jincheng. They were the ones who started the initial shouts.
Suddenly, Zhong Jincheng and Gao Qiang looked at each other and changed their tune with a smile: "One leaf knows autumn! One leaf knows autumn! One leaf knows autumn!"
The boys in Class 28 suddenly changed to Lu Yuanqiu's online name as if they had a tacit understanding. Although the other classes were confused, they also shouted these four words. After all, Lu Yuanqiu was very popular after the basketball game, so they thought it was A slogan chosen privately by fans.
Lu Yuanqiu on the stage listened to the thunderous movement in the auditorium and could only helplessly clasp his hands together and beg for mercy with a wry smile on his face:
"Please let me go, please let me go..."
It makes my scalp tingle even before I sing it.
The microphone was right next to his mouth, and the whole auditorium burst into laughter when he heard his rants. The boys in Class 28 also closed their mouths as if they had succeeded.
The school leaders turned around and looked. They were not smiling just now, but now they were happy, showing a whole row of smiling faces.
Lu Yuanqiu then sat back on the chair and straightened his expression.
He took a deep breath and looked at the lights in front of him, but his eyes suddenly narrowed and his consciousness fell into a trance for a moment.
Three seconds later, his consciousness returned to the stage little by little.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and realized that he was a teenager here.
Then let it be as dazzling as the warm sun outside the window, my youth.
He opened his mouth, plucked the strings, and sang a beautiful song that lingered throughout the scene.
"When I was a child, I was noisy and willful~"
……
It snowed heavily that year.
The snow outside has melted now.
Today, the sun in Lucheng has been the brightest in recent days, filling the air with warmth. Lu Yuanqiu looked at every face in front of him, trying to imprint the looks of all of them in his memory, even strangers who had only met once.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and turned to glance at the door on the side. He saw Cao Shuang, Zheng Yifeng and others standing at the door, but did not see Bai Qingxia.
At the end of the song, Lu Yuanqiu took his hands off the strings, put his mouth close to the microphone, and said loudly: "Happy New Year's Day!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the young man bowed to everyone and exited from behind the curtain.
When he arrived at the locker room, Lu Yuanqiu looked in the direction of the women's locker room. He took out his cell phone and looked at it, but did not find that Bai Qingxia had sent him a message.
"Brother Qiu, you performed so well!" Cao Shuang sat down with Lu Yuanqiu as if he was a fan of his younger brother.
Lu Yuanqiu waved his hand and looked down at his phone again, wondering why Bai Qingxia didn't come out to listen to him singing.
Just when I thought of this, a girl wearing a wig suddenly rushed in from the door of the men's locker room. The boys took a step back in shock. Ruan Yueru didn't pay attention to this, but said to Lu Yuanqiu anxiously: "Something happened."
Lu Yuanqiu's brows gradually wrinkled.
He immediately followed Ruan Yueru and walked out. Ruan Yueru said as he walked: "Senior Bai's dance costume can't be found. All of us searched through the cabinet for a long time but couldn't find it. It must have been stolen from the cabinet and hidden." < br>
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Lu Yuanqiu paused for a moment at the door of the women's locker room. Thinking of Bai Qingxia's mood at the moment, he didn't pay too much attention and immediately walked into the women's locker room.
Seeing a man suddenly come in, there was an exclamation in the women's locker room. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the cabinet. Bai Qingxia was wearing a thin white sweater, squatting there with her back. Su Miaomiao was comforting her, but the girl just stared. Hong Hong looked at the ground, hugging her legs and looking lost.
Seeing Lu Yuanqiu come in, Bai Qingxia turned her head and looked around. Two tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She pursed her lips and gave the boy a bitter smile apologetically.
She was so useless, Lu Yuanqiu came to save her again.
Lu Yuanqiu looked at the other people in the locker room. His chest was floating and he took a deep breath. His eyes were solemn for a moment, and then he suddenly sneered: "Interesting."
If you can't find it after rummaging through boxes and cabinets, it's futile to ask the people inside, not to mention he has no evidence.
"Lu Yuanqiu..." Su Miaomiao said with a complicated expression.
Lu Yuanqiu nodded lightly: "Don't worry, teacher."
He stepped forward and pulled Bai Qingxia up from the ground, and led the girl out of the women's locker room. The first-year high school girl with twin ponytails watched this scene quietly in the women's locker room, looking a little worried.
Lu Yuanqiu hesitated at the door for a moment, then led Bai Qingxia out of the auditorium and came to an empty wall.
It was noon now, the sun was strong outside, but the temperature was still a bit cold. Lu Yuanqiu took off his shirt and put it on Bai Qingxia's body, leaving only a gray sweater on his body.
The two of them leaned against the wall and were silent for a long time.
Lu Yuanqiu looked up at the sun, as if it was dazzling, and narrowed his eyes. He said softly: "It doesn't matter, there are still several programs before it's your turn."
Bai Qingxia tightened her shirt tightly and was about to speak. When she spoke the first word, she found that her voice was choked. She could only pause and calm down for a while before saying: "I just heard you singing..."
"I didn't feel it during the rehearsal, but it just reminded me of junior high school. I remember that the snow that day was so heavy, it was like marshmallows."
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and smiled: "Then there was a girl hiding in the school gate who watched my New Year's Day program in advance?"
Bai Qingxia was a little surprised when he heard this: "Have you remembered?"
"Yes." Lu Yuanqiu nodded against the wall.
"The night I won the basketball game, I suddenly remembered...I'm sorry, my memory is so bad. You have always been the only one who remembers these things."
"It doesn't matter..." Bai Qingxia smiled and raised her fingers to wipe the corners of her eyes.
"It's just that I might disappoint people this time." She started crying. She couldn't hold on anymore. "It turns out that the difference between my mother and me is not just a dance costume... …Why things that are full of expectations always don’t get good results.”
Lu Yuanqiu reached for his pocket, but found that there was still no paper in it. He walked up to Bai Qingxia and raised his sleeves to wipe her tears.
After a while, he put his face in front of the girl and said jokingly: "I count to five. If you cry for five seconds, you can't cry anymore. We have grown up now and are almost adults. We are no longer in junior high school." gave birth.”
Bai Qingxia nodded while crying.
Looking at the girl crying against the wall, Lu Yuanqiu counted down: "Five."
"Two."
"One!"
He cheated again and laughed out loud. Bai Qingxia was also amused by his annoying trick, but her laughter was mixed with tears. However, she kept her promise and stopped crying. She raised her face to wipe away her tears and looked at her. Lu Yuanqiu showed a strong smile.
Lu Yuanqiu took her hands, squeezed her eyes, and said as if teasing a child: "No, it's not enough. Turn up the corners of your mouth a little more."
"Yeah."
Bai Qingxia obediently turned up the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, that's it." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at their aligned toes, and suddenly said: "Bai Qingxia, if I sing a song to you now, will you feel awkward?"
"What song?" the girl asked curiously, holding his hand.
Lu Yuanqiu stepped back and hummed softly: "Stand on tiptoes~"
"Lift up the skirt~"
"Let my hand gently rest on your shoulder~"
Outside the lively auditorium, beside the quiet road, the young man smiled brightly and sang beautifully.
Bai Qingxia was stunned, and suddenly thought of the simple and unstructured pas de deux the two danced together outside the store window on Halloween night.
"Sweetness~happiness~turning around in circles~"
"Come on, come on, spin around."
Lu Yuanqiu raised her hand, Bai Qingxia hesitated, but when Lu Yuanqiu persisted, she still turned around in cooperation.
After completing this circle, Lu Yuanqiu looked at her with a smile.
Suddenly, he made a strange move, raised his hands to both sides of Bai Qingxia's face, clasped an invisible thing down, and made a "click" sound in his mouth.
Bai Qingxia recalled the scene that night and said with a smile: "Is it an Ultraman mask?"
"No, it's light."
After he finished speaking, he stepped aside. The dazzling sun behind him immediately cast a dazzling light on the girl's face. Bai Qingxia couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her eyes.
Lu Yuanqiu, who was facing the light, regained his composure at this time. He gently opened his arms and hugged the girl in front of him, and then said something.
"Bai Qingxia, you don't have to put on a dance costume to become a swan."
The girl's chin rested on his shoulder, slightly startled.
"And..."
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly smiled: "You still have a battle suit."
The girl tilted her head in confusion.
……
In the audience, Editor Hu's finger slid down the program list and stopped at the words Bai Qingxia.
"We're here," he said softly.
When Qin Luo heard this, he quickly made an "ok" gesture to the photographer on the steps behind him.
The bearded photographer nodded and said to the staff beside him: "Next show, cover heroine, video preparation, close and distant shots, ready to take photos."
In the first row, Editor Hu sighed.
Qin Luo smiled helplessly: "Are you still thinking about what you almost missed? Editor-in-Chief."
Editor Hu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, after reviewing the manuscript all night, I still didn't expect it. My brain is probably really rusty."
Qin Luo looked back and said, "Editor-in-Chief, why don't you go back and tell me the angle of the shot?"
Editor Hu shook his head: "I don't want to go, I'm depressed. You may not understand my mood."
Qin Luo twitched the corner of his mouth and said "Okay" before looking up at the stage.
The four-eyed girl from the student union stood on the side of the stage. She was wearing the host's dress, looking down at the manuscript. When she was about to go out to announce the curtain, a young man suddenly appeared next to her and snatched away her microphone.
The four-eyed girl turned her head in surprise: "Senior Lu, you grabbed my microphone again??"
"Don't worry, it's the last time." Lu Yuanqiu said.
He walked to the stage with a microphone and stood in the middle.
Seeing that the host suddenly turned into Lu Yuanqiu, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.
The school leaders in the first row also had a bad premonition.
Lu Yuanqiu didn't want to cause trouble this time, nor did he want to make any kind of challenge.
He smiled and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, because the next program is brought by my best friend, and I want to announce the curtain for her personally."
Hearing these words, Grade 28 Class 3 instantly burst into warm applause.
Zhong Jincheng was surprised: "It turns out to be Bai Qingxia!"
Gao Qiang smiled and said: "Let me go, the fourth person is actually Bai Qingxia!"
"Okay!!!"
Listening to the cries from the audience, Lu Yuanqiu said with a smile: "The show she is about to bring is a ballet performance, but the ballet uniform suddenly disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo frowned nervously, but Editor Hu next to him suddenly raised his head with bright eyes.
Lu Yuanqiu continued: "But, I think people who are swans don't need to care about the clothes they are wearing."
After speaking, he put down the microphone and left with a smile. The red curtain behind him immediately opened and live music played.
"Dream Wedding"
Behind the curtain, a girl wearing a blue and white school uniform with a single ponytail and a pink hairpin on her head took the opening dance pose like a white swan. She raised her white right hand and looked up at it. direction, with a relieved smile on his lips.
The sun was very bright today, and on the path filled with snowmen, all the snowmen began to melt, and their heads fell off their bodies, but the one the girl made stood still.
Its head was inserted into its body with a wooden stick, and its body changed from bloated to soft, as if it had taken off its heavy mask at this moment, becoming the most beautiful scenery on the road.
Auditorium, first row.
Editor Hu suddenly grabbed Qin Luo's arm in surprise and shouted: "School uniform! Yes! She lacks a school uniform!!"
