After being severely injured and falling into a coma, Song Qi was forcibly bound by a plot-driven system. She was cast as the innocent female lead in every story arc.
As long as she completed...
When Qin Xiao mentioned what Gu Si had done, Song Qi couldn't help but think of what the system had said about Gu Si transferring schools in the second semester of her junior year.
There must be a trigger for this, so what exactly does Gu Si want to do to end things by transferring schools?
After the sports meet, the school will begin preparing for the New Year's Day activities.
One wave after another, the people at the school were quite excited.
Except for the senior year, each class has to put on a show to participate in the selection process, and finally twelve shows will be selected to perform in front of the whole school.
This matter fell to Song Qi and the entertainment committee member.
The class monitor is like a brick; she's there wherever she's needed. She's required to participate in sports meets and also gets involved in the New Year's Eve party.
"Why don't you just put on your own show? Singing or dancing," Song Qi suggested sincerely to the entertainment committee member.
The entertainment committee member looked at Song Qi and smiled shyly: "Well, I sing off-key and can't dance... Actually, I originally wanted to run for sports committee member, but I didn't get elected, so the teacher arranged for me to be the entertainment committee member. Well, because no one else ran for entertainment committee member."
Song Qi continued, "Then do you want to be the class monitor?"
She wants to step down.
The entertainment committee member immediately shook his head: "No! You're better suited for this position. By the way, class monitor, don't you know how to play the piano? Why don't you just take it?"
"Qin Xiao, go ahead." Song Qi pretended not to hear, turning her head to look at Qin Xiao, who was doing practice problems next to her. "Bring glory to the class."
According to the usual setting, the male protagonist should have some skills.
Qin Xiao raised his head, glanced at Song Qi, and said seriously, "Class monitor, I need to study hard. I don't have time. You know I've fallen behind on so much."
After saying that, he sighed.
Song Qi rolled her eyes in annoyance, looked around at the class, and many people noticed her gaze and immediately lowered their heads.
My head hurts. Why is everyone so unmotivated? What's wrong with the kids here?
"Class monitor, you can play the piano... I've done my research, and there really isn't anyone else in our class who has learned any musical instruments."
Song Qi glanced at the entertainment committee member, sighed, and nodded, essentially being forced to accept the task.
She wanted to say that she couldn't play the piano, but when she sat down at the piano and put her hands on it, it was as if she had suddenly unlocked some kind of magic.
"Host, don't worry, we've prepared a huge music library for you, guaranteeing you'll shine at the New Year's Eve party," the system said proudly.
Song Qi: ...
She was selected without any surprises.
Song Qi didn't practice much, only playing it twice during rehearsals, and the result was pretty good. The music library is indeed a music library.
"Yang Nuan, have you decided what to wear?"
"A little white dress."
"I'll bring my camera to take pictures of you then," Gu Si said, her eyes lighting up. "Remember to smile!"
"I'll try my best." Song Qi nodded, looking at Gu Si's face.
She didn't tell Gu Si that she had prepared two dresses, two similar little dresses.
Although it's unknown what Gu Si will do at the New Year's Eve party, it's never a bad thing to have a plan B.
On New Year's Day, a lot of people came to the school, including former school leaders and some parents. Song Qi's piano performance was the opening act, so she arrived backstage early to prepare.
Their clothes had already been handed over to the teacher and placed backstage.
As soon as Song Qi got her bag, she took out the dress and examined it carefully. When she touched the straps, she frowned. It was obvious that someone had cut it with scissors, and she estimated that it would snap if she used any force in a little while.
She stared at the small opening for several seconds, stuffed the clothes inside, took out another white dress from her schoolbag, and changed into it without anyone noticing.
Because they were all white and similar styles of dresses, no one noticed that she had changed her dress.
Gu Si sat in the audience, gripping her camera tightly, her face pale and her body trembling slightly.
The host has come on stage and begun announcing the program.
Gu Si bit her lip and lowered her head.
The girl next to her noticed something was wrong: "Sisi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Gu Si said in a low voice with a smile.
Upon hearing Xu Yangnuan's name, she dared not look up even more.
The flowing piano music echoed in the auditorium. Song Qi chose a stirring piece, and Gu Si's heart pounded rapidly with the increasingly fast-paced music, a sense of unease spreading throughout her body.
She took a deep breath, picked up her camera to take pictures of Song Qi, and swallowed hard as she watched his unrestrained movements.
A piece of music is four minutes long.
Four minutes later, Song Qi finished playing the last note, stood up, and bowed.
Gu Si felt relieved; thankfully, she hadn't fallen for him.
She looked at Song Qi, who seemed to be looking in her direction as well. Although they were far apart, Gu Si felt that Song Qi was looking at her.
Gu Si suddenly shuddered.
Song Qi stepped off the stage, tidied herself up, and left the backstage area wearing her tattered dress.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Gu Si standing in the corridor, holding a camera in her hand.
"Yang Nuan! Why did you change your clothes so quickly? I wanted to take more pictures of you," Gu Si said, trying to sound casual.
Song Qi glanced at Gu Si and shook the pocket in his hand: "The clothes are torn."
"ah?"
"I don't know who cut the straps of her tank top."
Gu Si blinked, her eyes flickering: "Are you alright...?"
“It’s alright, I have a spare dress. Knowing I’ve offended a lot of people, I always have to be prepared,” Song Qi continued.
Gu Si grinned: "That's good. You looked so beautiful when you played the piano just now."
"Thank you." Song Qi looked at Gu Si. "Do you think the teacher would allow me to access the surveillance footage?"
Gu Si's face turned pale instantly, even her fingertips lost their color: "I don't know... Do you want to try it?"
"Never mind." Song Qi sighed. "She did it this time, and I'm sure she'll do something else in the future. She'd better not get caught by me."
After saying that, Song Qi smiled at Gu Si: "You look so pale, is it because you're not feeling well?"
"It's a bit cold."
"Let's go in then." Song Qi took Gu Si's hand, which was ice-cold.
Song Qi returned to his classroom, and Qin Xiao nudged him, handing him his phone: "Look at the photos I took of you."
"Thank you." Song Qi took it, glanced at it, and his lips twitched slightly.
Of the thirty-odd photos, most were blurry or showed strange poses.
Song Qi silently deleted everything with one click and handed the phone back. "Holy crap, why did you delete everything?"
"It's too ugly."
"It's because it's ugly that we have to keep it."
Song Qi didn't say anything, but stretched out his foot and stomped on it hard, then spun it around.
Qin Xiao covered his mouth, trying hard not to scream.
"Damn it, Xu Yangnuan, you're too ruthless!" he gritted his teeth.
"Good to know." Song Qi slightly raised his chin and gave Qin Xiao a warning look.
Qin Xiao sighed and muttered something else.
Song Qi ignored him and watched the performance on stage with a slight frown.
She was thinking that, given Gu Si's increasingly outrageous behavior, there was no need to give her any more face in the future.
