On the second day of the school celebration, the evening self-study on Wednesday night was canceled and replaced with a performance in the school auditorium for each grade.
First a short chorus performance in each class, followed by individual performances.
Before the chorus performance, the classmates had already rehearsed in music class every week. It didn’t take too much time, but the result was not bad.
The clothes worn by the chorus were different for each class, selected by the class committee to be in different styles.
Su Qiuge’s clothes were quite satisfactory. The boys wore a white shirt with a jacket similar to a small suit and a bow tie, while the girls wore a Western-style skirt.
Before the show, there were parents who came to visit the school to help with makeup. It was the first time for Su Qiuge to do makeup at school, and she felt the novelty. After finishing all this, Wen Mingming came over to hang out with her.
Wen Mingming’s class style was idyllic. She also brought a small straw hat and a thermos for Su Qiuge. The thermos contained the soup that her mother made when she came to visit.
Su Qiuge was hungry, and after she drank the soup in front of her, Wen Mingming looked at her and smiled.
Su Qiuge was a little puzzled until Wen Mingming jokingly said, “Why didn’t you pay attention, your lipstick is all gone now.”
Su Qiuge didn’t care much at first, “If it’s gone, it’s gone.”
She didn’t usually wear lipstick anyway.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Mingming disagreed and said, “But you have a full face of makeup on, and your lip color is relatively light, so it looks a little strange. Qiu’er, you are the face to look at when your class sings. Take it, promise me not to be so casual, okay?”
This was an unspoken rule. Every class would have a “face to look at” when they sang the chorus. The person responsible usually stood in the front row or in the center.
Wen Mingming was just about to take out her lipstick when she suddenly lowered her head and noticed Su Qiuge’s shoes.
She said in shock, “Why are you still wearing sneakers?”
Su Qiuge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she had tried the leather dress shoes in class before. She felt that walking in them was awkward, so she thought about bringing them and going backstage to change when she was about to take the stage.
But she forgot about it because of the food.
Su Qiuge patted her head, “I put it backstage.”
Wen Mingming held her forehead and sighed softly, “Why don’t you go to the dressing room to put on your shoes and touch up your makeup.”
After thinking about it, she leaned over and whispered to her, “You are the one who supports the beauty of the girls in your class and have the responsibility to act as a facade, so remember to not be so casual. ”
The order of the chorus was decided. The first to go was Class 8, and the second was Class 1. Most of the people in Class 1 were already in line.
Su Qiuge glanced at Class 8 on the field and said softly, “But my class is going now, what if I can’t catch up by then?”
Wen Mingming took out the lipstick from the bag and handed it to her, urging, “It’s alright, I’m here to help you watch, and I’ll go get you when it’s really about to start!”
Only then did Su Qiuge nod, take the lipstick and walk towards the backstage.
There was a small backstage room behind the school’s performance stage. Su Qiuge remembered that there was a mirror there.
But rumor said that there was a boy playing basketball in the teaching building last week who smashed the mirror. Director Xu searched the surveillance and couldn’t find the perpetrator. He was really angry, but he could only bring the basketball to the teaching building. Su Yuanzhou’s homeroom teacher gave him a severe scolding.
At this time, there were relatively few people backstage. Su Qiuge went in to find the room where she put her shoes before. She found that there seemed to be someone in it. Maybe someone in her class who was about to go on stage was changing clothes. Thinking of this, she knocked on the door and said to the person inside, “Classmate, I have a pair of shoes in the corner of this room, can you bring them out for me?”
At this time, there was a strange silence inside, and it didn’t take long for the door to be opened. The person inside said in a deep voice, “Come in and get it.”
Just as Su Qiuge felt the voice was a little familiar, she was dragged in, and then the door behind her slammed shut. She looked up and saw Xie Xinglin in a white shirt.
He seemed to have been interrupted in the middle of changing his clothes. There were still a few buttons on the neckline that were not fastened, and his shirt was draped slightly open, revealing a sexy collarbone. His black bow tie was tangled in his hands.
Su Qiuge was stunned. After a quick glance at him, she looked away, lowered her head, and tried not to show any expression. Seeing him like this, her heartbeat sped up, and even the roots of her ears turned red.
She had no problem with contact previously, but now…
Especially now that the two were alone together.
She felt nervous and even a little shy.
She didn’t dare to show it on the surface and pretended to be very calm.
Immediately after, she walked towards the corner in silence, grabbed her shoes, and prepared to leave.
At that moment, an arm crossed behind her, and the door she had opened was closed from behind.
This posture made it seem like the man behind her was pushing her against the door, trying to do something to her, which made her body freeze slightly. She looked sideways, “You… what are you doing?”
Xie Xinglin looked down at her stance that made her seem like she wanted to avoid him and curved his lips, “Do you think I’m some kind of beast?”
Su Qiuge lowered her head, tried not to look at her, then pursed her lips and said, “No…”
It was just that this man looked really attractive.
