Chapter 26 - Orientation Gala (2/2)

Chen Fan was amused after hearing Jiang Tanqiu calling him Brother Fan with a respectful voice; already, his would-be best friend was improving his reputation in front of everyone.

Chen Fan gave Sister Yin a call and asked for a day off due to the Orientation Gala. Sister Yin approved as usual.

“Look, look, look! There goes my G.o.ddess!” The stage was lit up with bright lights, and Jiang Tanqiu looked at the stage expectantly.

The host of the gala was Chang Wen and a boy from the 9th grade. The gorgeous girl and the handsome boy had attracted many of the audience’s attention.

Chang Wen announced, “Without further ado, the next performer Xu Rongfei from cla.s.s number two of the twelfth grade. The name of her dance is ‘Swan Princess.’”

After the announcement, a swell of cheers rose from the audience.

This was the finale of the gala; the show that everyone had been waiting for!

The floor-light dimmed and the spotlight beamed on a tall, and handsome young man, sitting right next to a white grand piano made by Steinway and sons. Chang Wen continued her announcement, but this time, her voice sounded bitter. “This is Si Yinxia; I am sure he needs no introduction. He will play the piano for Xu Rongfei. The two of them are long-time partners.”

Chen Fan didn’t pay much attention to Si Yinxia as another beam of stage light grabbed his attention. In it was a girl wearing a ballet tutu that fit tightly around her body.

It was Xu Rongfei who Chen Fan hadn’t seen for many days.

The music started, and Xu Rongfei opened her dance with a sudden bend of the waist, and when she rose again, she was no longer the high school girl as she had transformed herself—both body and soul—into an elegant swan. Silence fell throughout the hall as everyone was gripped by Xu Rongfei’s powerful and affecting performance.

Although Xu Rongfei was not a world-renowned dancer, the students were nonetheless shocked after seeing that one of them was able to deliver such a stunning performance.

If the new students were going to leave the gala with something that would stay with them for the rest of their lives, it was the combination of Si Yinxia’s piano music and Xu Rongfei’s dance.

As the music ended on a high note, cheers and applause erupted from the audience. Si Yinxia stood up from the bench, walked to Xu Rongfei, and held one of her hands as both of them bowed to the audiences.

“Together! Together!” The audience cheered.

Xu Rongfei managed to keep her smile, but she slid her hand out of Si Yinxia’s palm. The light in Si Yinxia’s eyes suddenly dimmed.

After the two had finally retreated to backstage, the show was finally nearing its end.

Jiang Tanqiu said hesitantly, “My G.o.ddess is the best! Look at that curves, that waist, and that gracefulness and elegance! She was not any less hot than those professional Ballet Dancer from Russia.

“Urghh! How dare that greasy Si Yinxia touch her hand!” Jiang Tanqiu growled vehemently.

“Alright, it’s time to go.” Chen Fan stood up, started off. He was here just for Xu Rongfei’s dance, now he had seen it, it was time to go home.

Suddenly a swell of commotions arose from the front row. Jiang Tanqiu looked and immediately his eyes were lit up with glee.”Look! Chang Wen and my G.o.ddess are heading this way. ”

Chen Fan turned around and saw Chang Wen heading toward him while trailing a boy and a girl behind her.

The boy was wearing an elegant tuxedo; his tall figure complimented his handsome features. The girl was in a set of costume made ballet tutu, and her face was near flawless. The two looked like two superstars straight out of the TV.

They waved at their fans as they walked forth. The boys and girls around them showered them with cheers and screamed.

They were Si Yinxia and Xu Rongfei.

The two exchanged whispers to each other as they walked. Their intimacy was displayed under broad daylight for everyone to see.

Si Yinxia no longer donned his usual cool face. Instead, he beamed from side to side as he whispered something to Xu Rongfei. Xu Rongzhen seems to be amused by what he had said, a bright smile broke over her face, making it look like a blooming flower.

“G.o.d d.a.m.n you, Si Yinxia! He is going to steal my G.o.ddess!” Jiang Tanqiu said aggrievedly.

“Come on; let’s go!” Chen Fan did not want to talk to Xu Rongfei; therefore, he patted his friend and willed him to start walking.

Suddenly Chen Fan heard a female voice called to him:

“My oh my! Isn’t it, Master Chen? Why are you leaving so early? Don’t you want to say hi to our stars?”

Chen Fan turned around and saw Chang Wen’s cold sneer. Chang Wen, on the other hand, was enjoying the best moment of her life.

She walked off from the stage like a star, letting her confidence soar on the wind of the scintillating aura that surrounded her. Her brilliance had made her rivals look all that much paler and weaker.

Si Yinxia also regarded Chen Fan with a contemptuous look. The cheers and applauds had brought his confidence back and strengthened his ego.

And then a musical voice gasped in surprise:

“Chen Fan?”

Then, to everyone’s surprise, a soft body threw itself at Chen Fan. Chen Fan opened his arms unwillingly as he was immediately surrounded by the breathtaking fragrance that invited more than just intimacy.

Everyone was speechless by the turn of events.

Chen Fan saw surprised faces all around him, Jiang Tanqiu’s eyes were wide open, and the confident look on Si Yinxia had also curdled.

Chen Fan could not help but smile wryly.

“Now the situation is finally out of my hand!”
