Chapter 177 Performing On Stage (2/2)
Xiao Bing now began to leisurely deal with his own affairs, which was helping the little nurse resolve her problems.
On the afternoon of the next day, the gala of Jiang City Hospital was held as scheduled at Jiang City Gymnasium. Xiao Bing drove Liu Kexin to the gymnasium and parked the car in the parking space outside. Then they got out of the car and went to the backstage of the gymnasium through the staff entrance.
At this time, the people who participated in the performance program were busy in the dressing room. When Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin went in, several women in their twenties looked at Xiao Bing. Liu Kexin was a little embarrassed and said with a low voice, ”They are all nurses at our hospital and are older than I am.”
Xiao Bing smiled and spoke into Liu Kexin's ear, ”None of them are as pretty as you.”
Liu Kexin blushed, and her ears went red too. Seeing Liu Kexin's adorable look, Xiao Bing was even more amused and couldn't help but want to tease her.
Just as Xiao Bing was about to tease her, Lu Qiang came in. Witnessing the scene, he became jealous and said coldly, ”Aren't you Mr. Xiao? I thought you were too scared to come.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”How can it be possible. Oh, I asked my girlfriend to suggest that we rehearse at home. Thank you for helping us arrange it. You don't know how exhausting the rehearsals had been. But fortunately it was in our own home, so as we rehearsed, we could chat. We were really relaxed and happy.”
Xiao Bing was obviously provoking him. Sure enough, Lu Qiang's face changed. He snorted coldly and walked passed Xiao Bing. He went into the room and kept saying, ”I'll see how you are ashamed later!”
The others kept quiet as they watched the scene. Everyone present knew that Lu Qiang was pursuing Liu Kexin. Seeing this, they were all quite clear as to what was going on. Although some people detested Lu Qiang's behavior, Lu Qiang was still the son of the hospital's director, so basically, everyone would not directly support Liu Kexin.
Two nurses in particular were clearly filled with jealousy when they looked at Liu Kexin. Everyone wanted to marry the son of the hospital's director. However, Lu Qiang had already said that he would pursue Liu Kexin. They naturally refused to accept it.
Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin took the timetable and left the dressing room. They sat on the seats in the first row in the gymnasium. Except for the leaders of the hospital, the first two rows were for the doctors and nurses of the hospital who would perform today. After Xiao Bing sat down, there were soon several nurses next to Liu Kexin whispering with her.
The gala soon began. The compere was a tall woman in her thirties wearing a luxurious costume. She was not a real beauty but seemed to be classy and natural endowments.
The other one was an outgoing man of about 27 or 28 wearing a suit.
Liu Kexin stood next to Xiao Bing and said in a low voice, ”The female compere is our head nurse. The man is a promising doctor in our hospital. He studied abroad.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said quietly, ”You are prettier than the head nurse. I think it will be great if you go up on stage to host the show. Whatever the performance, everyone will feel it was worth coming. As long as you speak, I am sure everyone will applaud.”
Liu Kexin's heart was pounding, and she said coquettishly, ”You're talking nonsense.”
The show started very quickly. Xiao Bing soon noticed that the two dancers, Gu Xinxin and Li Cuipeng, also entered the gymnasium. Xiao Bing saw them because they waved to Xiao Bing in the distance. They sat down after they saw Xiao Bing's acknowledgment.
Xiao Bing asked Liu Kexin to get two tickets for the two dancers. But because they were not part of the staff, they didn't get front seats. Some of these little nurses were really versatile, but the professionals' performances only succeeded in making them smile, even Xiao Bing felt quite bored.
After over an hour, the show was halfway through. Soon, it would be Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin's turn. Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin hurriedly stood up and went backstage to prepare.
Lu Qiang, who was sitting in the first row and waiting for his turn as the finale, sneered, turned to the two young doctors, his friends sitting next to him, and said, ”When Xiao Bing comes out, you will witness his shame. Does such a rude man want to be elegant? After tonight, I will make him stay away from Kexin!”
The previous program was finally over. The two comperes went up the stage. Several staff carried a piano and placed it on stage. Seeing the piano, the audience began to whisper and was obviously wondering who was going to play it.
Soon, the female compere said in a very elegant and sweet voice, ”Next, we will have Miss Liu Kexin, who is the youngest nurse at the inpatient department of our hospital, and her boyfriend, to play the piano music, 'Mariage d'amour', and to dance for us!”
When they heard ”Liu Kexin's boyfriend”, some people below shouted. Apparently, most people didn't know the news and they didn't expect that the most beautiful nurse in this hospital already had a boyfriend, especially that Lu Qiang had said he would pursue Liu Kexin. This was really embarrassing.
Lu Qiang was livid. He slapped on the armrest and cursed, ”F*ck, who wrote the lines for the host? F*cking d*mn it!”
The nurses and doctors sitting near him saw that he'd lost his self-control, so they were silent and cautious.
