86 Choir Competition (2/2)

He'd initially thought that pairing up with the junior he had admired for a long time was awesome. However, now Xiao Luo was even more impressive. He had decided straightaway on the most unattainable activity at Huaye, and that was the pursuit of Chu Yue, who had rejected no less than fifty boys. Ding Kai had been completely eclipsed.

Xiao Luo was unable to respond. He was also left speechless by Chu Yue's actions. If she had wanted to thank him, she could have simply given him some money. Instead, she had given him a box of lollipops. Was a big guy like him expected to eat lollipops like a little kid when he had nothing better to do?

At the same time, Bai Ling was shocked and dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that Chu Yue had given that box of lollipops to Xiao Luo.

”Young Mistress Chu, what's wrong with you?” she asked, suspecting that Chu Yue had come down with some sort of sickness.

”Nothing. What could possibly have happened to me?” Chu Yue replied.

”You gave Xiao Luo the lollipops that even you can't bear to eat!”

”What's the matter? It's just a box of lollipops, and they aren't worth that much. I can just buy them again. It's hard for Pretentious D*ck to conduct and direct our class choir, and I just wanted to give him a little reward,” Chu Yue replied. Her mouth curled up slightly, and it was hard for her to act like she didn't care.

A form of reward?

Oh my god! What was wrong? What was happening?

Bai Ling couldn't figure out what was behind this change in Chu Yue. It was too sudden and completely unexpected.

On Saturday evening at 7 o'clock, the choir competition officially kicked off.

The competition venue was Huaye's grand auditorium. Brilliant spotlights shone on the exquisite stage, making it seem like it was daytime. Beyond the stage, the seats were filled with students. In the first row sat a judging panel comprised of teachers, and the entire auditorium was packed. At least a thousand people had gathered.

One professional after another walked onto the stage and stood in line for their turn in the choral performance. Loud, orderly singing echoing in the magnificent grand hall.

Meanwhile, the English Department choir was in a hurry. Everyone was there except for the most important person—Xiao Luo.

”Zhu Xiaofei, where is Xiao Luo? Where did he go?” Huang Ruoran asked anxiously.

Zhu Xiaofei shook his head and answered, ”I don't know. I just saw him here. Did he go to the bathroom? Should I go look for him in the bathroom?”

”There's no time left. We are up next,” Huang Ruoran said.

Zhu Xiaofei said, ”What should we do?”

Huang Ruoran's eyebrows were almost entirely knitted together. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind. ”We have to forget about him!”

”But what will we do without Pretentious D*ck?” Chu Yue said.

”We have to make it work even if it doesn't,” Huang Ruoran replied stalwartly. It was too late for them to mess around or panic. Otherwise, they would definitely sing abnormally on stage. Huang Ruoran told everyone, ”It doesn't matter if Xiao Luo is here or not. Just sing well, like we've been practicing all this time.”

The girls nodded. This competition was not just about class honor, but also about the bet between Xiao Luo and Qiu Liang. They had to sing well.

”English Department! Where is the English Department?” Just then, a teacher approached from backstage and shouted loudly for the English majors.

”We are here,” Huang Ruoran said, raising her hand high.

The teacher beckoned, saying, ”It's your turn. Come in and prepare.”

”Alright.”

Huang Ruoran took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She said, ”Everyone, let's work hard and sing well together. Let's go!”
