Chapter 76

After Qin Su left the stage, the audience erupted in deafening applause.

Ye Yan frowned, knowing he was still under the camera and couldn't show anything unusual, so he forced himself to clap along despite the pain in his heart.

...It was as if the spotlights were just as bright, and the crowds were just as overwhelming.

He sat outside the crowd watching her shine, while she turned and smiled at him from among the crowd.

But when was that... when was it...?

The comments section erupted in screams of excitement.

[So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful! Oh, it's me.]

[Waaaaah, my wife's waist isn't just a waist, it's a scythe that reaps my heart.]

My wife stepped on me!

[About the story of how I came to watch a dating reality show but accidentally ended up enjoying a gem of a performance for free.]

[Everyone asked me why there was oil on the ground; it's because I had too much oil in my Ella oil and it overflowed!]

[Wait, Chu Ge suddenly stood up. What's she going to do?]

Xu Shishi had been paying attention to everyone's movements, and she immediately noticed Chu Ge's movement.

"Chu Ge, where are you going?"

Chu Ge said frankly, "I'll go backstage to find Su Su."

Xu Shishi immediately said, "Then I'll go too!"

Gu Chiyan glanced at the two of them, frowned, and tried to get up: "Why don't we go together?"

Qin Su's performance tonight was stunning; it was exhilarating for everyone who saw it.

Even Gu Chiyan, who was usually reserved, couldn't resist and wanted to take the initiative to compete for it.

The staff members nearby quickly dissuaded them: "The director asked in advance that the students need to remove their makeup and change clothes after the show. The backstage is quite chaotic, so it's inconvenient to go there. Please wait at the school gate."

The guests looked at each other and quietly left, all returning to the school gate.

Qin Su didn't come out so quickly, and none of them wanted to go back to the car and wait, so they waited near the school gate.

There is never a shortage of shops at the university gate, with all kinds of stores.

Chu Ge, with his hands in his pockets, walked around a couple of times before his eyes paused, and he suddenly said, "I'm going to buy something. You guys wait here for me."

Xu Shishi, who was usually wary of her, unusually didn't press for details. Instead, she looked down at her phone and casually replied, "Oh."

After a while, Cheng Fubai calmly said, "I'll also leave for a bit."

Gu Chiyan looked at his back in surprise, then turned to look in the direction Chu Ge had gone. After a moment of thought, he suddenly realized what was happening and walked away silently.

...

When Jin Xiao finished a game and looked up, he found that only he, Ye Yan, and Xu Shishi were left.

He exclaimed in shock, "Where is everyone?"

Ye Yan calmly replied, "He said he went to buy something."

"Buy something?" Jin Xiao was confused. "What are you buying now? Why are there so many people?"

Xu Shishi gave him a sympathetic look.

That stupid dog is no threat at all.

Just as Jin Xiao was confused, a food delivery motorcycle stopped at the school gate.

The delivery rider, carrying a bouquet of pink roses, looked around and asked, "Which one of you is Miss Xu who ordered the flowers?"

Xu Shishi waved her hand: "Here."

The deliveryman quickly handed her the flowers: "You ordered 52 roses. If you like them, please give us a good review."

Xu Shishi nodded: "Okay."

Jin Xiao watched the whole thing, stunned for a moment.

He vaguely realized why Xu Shishi bought flowers, but before he could fully process it, he saw Chu Ge walking over from across the street carrying a bouquet of red flowers.

Chu Ge is tall and has long legs. She has a neat and tidy temperament and is dressed in a sexy outfit. She looks particularly good as she walks with flowers in her arms, and passersby turn their heads to look at her.

Jin Xiao, however, had no interest in appreciating it.

He turned around and saw that Cheng Fubai had also returned, the shattered blue rose in his arms possessing a serene and unique beauty.

The fragrance of flowers wafted in from all directions.

Jin Xiao turned his head to the left and saw Xue Jianxing gently fiddling with the baby's breath in his arms. He turned his head to the right and saw Gu Chiyan awkwardly arranging the wrapping paper of the bouquet.

As if they had planned it together, they all left silently, and then returned one after another carrying different bouquets of flowers.

He was the only one holding his phone, which had just finished playing the game, and he was lost in thought.

Jin Xiao: "..."

Damn it, why am I left out again?

At this point, Jin Xiao naturally understood that everyone had prepared congratulatory flowers for Qin Su.

Only him...

wrong.

Jin Xiao precisely spotted Ye Yan among the various bouquets, and seeing that Ye Yan's arms were empty, he felt greatly relieved.

"Ye Yan," he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you buy any flowers either?"

Ye Yan smiled and replied, seemingly unrelated, "Su Su can't carry all these flowers."

When Jin Xiao heard him say that, he assumed that Jin Xiao had admitted that he hadn't bought any flowers, and immediately chimed in, "That's right, where are we going to put all these flowers?"

After he finished speaking, he coughed lightly, feeling that he and Ye Yan were now in the same boat, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think it's too late for us to go buy it now?"

Ye Yan did not answer him, but looked past his shoulder toward the school gate.

Jin Xiao noticed his expression and quickly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Qin Su's figure.

Qin Su also saw them and waved to them from afar.

For some reason, Jin Xiao suddenly felt a little strange, and turned to look at Ye Yan again.

Ye Yan stared intently at Qin Su, as if he couldn't spare even a fraction of his attention for anyone else.

Jin Xiao had known Ye Yan for so many days, but this was the first time he had been so close to Ye Yan, and the first time he had accurately seen Ye Yan's expression and eyes.

He was young and had never been in a relationship, so he didn't know how to describe that expression. He just felt like he was superfluous standing there.

He inexplicably stepped aside two paces.

Several people carrying flowers went forward to greet Qin Su, presenting her with clusters of flowers.

"Susu, congratulations on your successful performance."

"Susu, you dance so beautifully, so incredibly beautifully."

"Susu, these are the flowers I just bought. Aren't they pretty?"

Congratulations on starting your summer vacation!

Qin Su smiled and thanked her, but did not accept the flowers.

She said, "I'm going to a charity gala with my family tonight and I'm leaving soon, so it's inconvenient for me to bring the flowers. Please take them back to your cabin."

Everyone was surprised when they heard that.

Chu Ge said dejectedly, "You have plans for tonight? I thought we could celebrate together."

Qin Su said, "I didn't expect it to happen on the same day; it's such a coincidence."

She still needed to change clothes and get her makeup done, so she couldn't chat with them much.

But since they were all staring at him expectantly, looking pitiful, he couldn't just leave.

Qin Su thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll celebrate in the cabin tomorrow, and you can buy your things today."

She smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, we've never had barbecue together before. How about we have barbecue tomorrow?"

“Okay!” Xu Shishi was the first to agree. “I’m really good at grilling meat.”

Jin Xiao also volunteered: "Then I'll buy more meat tonight."

After the group made their decision, Qin Su got into the car and left.

The atmosphere cooled down as soon as she left.
