The school has a large space to seat students from each grade. The space is set up like a movie theater, with a large screen in the center to magnify the performances. To ensure fairness, each of the three grades has its own champion. During breaks, students play freely while the other grades perform.

Of course, you can also enjoy performances by students from other grades.

The school's grand scale wasn't solely due to casting by film crews. It was also because many students came from wealthy families, and over half of them possessed exceptional talents. They understood that discerning parents wouldn't focus solely on academics.

It was just the beginning. It was a martial arts performance. Several people wielding long swords left the audience speechless. The somewhat stiff fighting movements were replaced with a graceful dance-like style. Yu Shuwen had seen Xi Xinxin's skills before. She asked, "What do you think?"

Xi Xinxin commented: "Don't worry. I can beat all the people up there."

Yu Shuwen: ...That's not what she meant!

(Task issued: Hold the female lead's hand)

This task came suddenly, causing Jiang Moli some trouble. Xu Chacha sat to Xi Xinxin's left. To her right were Yu Shuwen, Xi Dai, and Ji Nianya. His seat, coincidentally, was in front of Xi Xinxin.

To ensure everyone can enjoy the wonderful show, all seats are [number missing].

Each row was slightly taller than the last. Jiang Moli was about to stand up and casually reach out to touch someone's hand in the back row when he felt someone's hands pressing down on the back of his chair.

"Pretend to stretch and raise your hand," a soft voice whispered in his ear. Jiang Moli didn't react immediately and subconsciously stretched slightly. A delicate, white hand took his right hand. It gripped his hand slightly tighter, then released it.

(Task completed)

Jiang Moli stared blankly at his right hand, then gently placed it on his chest. The sensation seemed to linger on his body. Fortunately, the light was dim, and no one noticed Jiang Moli's flustered expression. He knew Xi Xinxin could hear his system's voice, which was why he sometimes didn't explain after completing tasks. But now he really wanted to tell her that he hadn't intended to take advantage of her.

For some reason, his heart was beating unusually fast. "It can't be that bad," Jiang Moli suddenly thought, covering his face with his hands. "Jiang Moli, Jiang Moli, it's just holding hands."

Xi Xinxin didn't notice Jiang Moli's strange reaction. She knew that the task she had just completed might be inconvenient, and it wouldn't be easy to explain to the girls next to her. She came up with this idea while they weren't paying attention.

In the story, the female and male leads were sitting together. It just so happened that they were watching a program, and the male lead suddenly took the female lead's hand. He preferred watching her happy face to watching the program, so he couldn't help but hold her hand. However, he didn't confess his feelings later in the story, saying he didn't want to interfere with her studies and would confess after her college entrance exams. They remained in an ambiguous relationship.

Xi Xinxin thought to herself, thankfully, she and Jiang Moli didn't have any ambiguous feelings for each other. They were both just serious tools to complete their missions.

Soon it was the turn of Ji Nianya and Xi Dai to take the stage.

Ji Nianya gently began to play the violin. A melodious tune filled the air, just like in the practice room that day. It transported everyone to a stream with clear flowing water. Ji Nianya slowly closed her eyes, immersing herself in the moment. She had always excelled at quiet, understated music. She could create her own unique feeling with each note. The others, still immersed in their comfort, were completely unaware that Xi Dai had begun.

The rousing music instantly shone into everyone's lives like dazzling sunlight. Success, inspiration, and an upward spirit gradually became clear. They dispelled the fog and entered the world they loved.

The ensemble began, and their coordination was impeccable. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a match made in heaven. The music was perfectly in sync; the high and low notes harmonized exceptionally smoothly.

The song had ended. The two of them bowed towards the audience.

Thunderous applause erupted from the stands; whether it was genuine support or just patriotic acclaim was unclear. That didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that Jinianya saw her parents. She saw them smiling and applauding in the front row. Her mother gave her a thumbs-up.

Xi Dai returned to her seat, and Xi Xinxin took her hand and massaged it, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I knew Dai Dai was the best!"

"Hmph, of course."

Xu Chacha waved her phone: "Xi Dai, while we're resting, let's go out for dinner later. It's on me."

Xi Dai raised an eyebrow: "You struck it rich?"

"Hehe, I still have some prize money left from the competition."

"Why not keep it yourself?"

If they were together, Xu Chacha would probably have frantically saved up money. But things always change. The school's stipend increased. Because of the last trip, she also found a high-paying job, although she doesn't have money now... Most importantly, she felt that spending this money on this meal was really worthwhile.
