"Changed? Then where were we changed to?" Mi Tanhua asked subconsciously.
"I'm not sure about this either. You'll know in a moment."
Mi Tanhua looked confused and wanted to ask more, but Lan You stopped her, "Squad Leader, don't ask anymore."
"Lan You, don't you think it's a bit strange? It's okay to change the program in the middle, but you didn't even tell me where you were moving us." Mi Tanhua was already nervous, and now she was even more panicked.
Unknown things always make people feel restless.
Lan You's brows were filled with deep thought, and she clearly had some ideas. She whispered, "Class monitor, if I'm not mistaken, we should be the finale."
"The finale? How is that possible? Isn't Chu Xinrou's finale?" Mi Tanhua's shock could only be described as dumbfounded.
Lan You naturally knew the reason behind this. If things really developed as she wanted, it seemed that Chu Xinrou really lived up to the name of White Lotus.
Regardless of the past, present or future, Chu Xinrou's scheming is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"By the way, monitor, I've always been curious why you chose Swan Lake? I think everyone in Qinghe knows that this is Chu Xinrou's best dance. Aren't you afraid that she might dance Swan Lake too?"
Mi Tanhua smiled wryly and felt guilty. "Well... my best dance is Swan Lake. As for why I chose Swan Lake... it's because I think Chu Xinrou probably can't dance it. Since it's what the audience wants to see the most, Chu Xinrou should save Swan Lake for her last Qinghe performance to whet the audience's appetite. Even if it's not Swan Lake, Chu Xinrou can dance other dances very well."
In fact, she chose Swan Lake more because of her mother. She explained the whole story, but her mother insisted that she dance Swan Lake. These words were also told to her by her mother. She also said that girls like Chu Xinrou are used to being sought after and expected by others, so they would not dance Swan Lake easily.
Her mother had originally said she wanted to come and watch her dance, but she didn't dare tell her that her foot was injured and she couldn't dance. She had to persuade her mother with all her might to finally change her mind.
"Class monitor, I didn't expect you to understand Chu Xinrou so well. If these things hadn't happened, you might have been right. But now I guess... she can dance Swan Lake, and maybe even better than us." Lan You said with certainty.
"What? Then we will be suppressed and the audience will definitely laugh at us." Mi Tanhua said excitedly.
The audience's interest was already low in the later stages. They had just performed Chu Xinrou's Swan Lake, and now they were going to perform another Swan Lake. Wasn't that courting death?
Mi Tanhua's face was filled with anxiety, as if she was worried about a seriously ill relative. Lan You knew that she would have a breakdown, so he told her in advance so that she could take it easy and not let it affect her performance.
"Class monitor, don't be too anxious. This is just my guess. Besides, I'm the one dancing Swan Lake, so if anyone laughs at you, it's me. Just play the song well." Lan You comforted her.
"My mind is now filled with the audience clamoring for us to get off the stage. If they have vegetable leaves or eggs in their hands, I'm afraid they will throw them at us." Mi Tanhua became more and more anxious the more she thought about it.
"Squad leader, believe me, the result will not be as bad as you said." Lan You's eyes radiated confidence. If Chu Xinrou really suppressed her on purpose, don't blame her for going with the flow and taking advantage of the situation.
After several performances, Qi Heng took the stage to give a summary. "If the singing is compared to the sound of a trickle of water, crisp and clean, and if the dancing is compared to lotus flowers emerging from the water, full of vitality and hope, then a beautiful and pleasant picture can't help but emerge in my mind: a stream, lotus flowers, sunshine and rain, so warm, how can we miss the white swan?"
The audience didn't pay attention at all for the first long part, until they heard the three words "white swan", then they suddenly screamed, the sound almost breaking through the roof.
"Chu Xinrou, Chu Xinrou, Chu Xinrou..." The voice was so loud, like waves one higher than the other, as if it was the most exciting, glorious and anticipated moment of the whole audience.
"Next, Chu Xinrou will perform the ballet Heaven...Swan...Lake." Qi Heng said in a rhythmic voice.
The screams rang out again.
The sound that resounded through the sky almost gave Lu Wanying tinnitus and goose bumps all over her body.
Isn't Chu Xinrou the finale? Why did she appear early?
As soon as these doubts flashed through her mind, the people around her suddenly gave her answers.
"Chen Huan, I'm almost dying of laughter. If I remember correctly, only Lan You and Mi Tanhua have not performed yet, right?" Lin Yan couldn't stop the smug smile on her face.
"You're not mistaken. Lan You is going to become the laughing stock of Qinghe this time." Chen Huan agreed with a smile.
"I really didn't expect Chu Xinrou to react so strongly when she heard that Lan You was going to dance Swan Lake. She even gave up the chance to be the last performer. But now Lan You is completely dead set on this. Thinking of such a good show, I'm not in the mood to watch Chu Xinrou dance ballet anymore." Lin Yan couldn't stop smiling.
Lu Wanying clenched her fists, and a hint of worry began to appear in her eyes. When she heard what the two people said, she actually didn't think that Chu Xinrou would dance Swan Lake as soon as she entered Qinghe, so she didn't expect the situation before her.
There is no harm without comparison, and Chu Xinrou's appearance first makes people have a preconceived notion. It will be difficult for Lan You to turn the game around.
She completely forgot her purpose of coming here to embarrass Chu Xinrou, and began to feel restless, worried that Lan You would be ridiculed by everyone.
Backstage, after hearing the notification from her classmates, Mi Tanhua's face turned pale and her body swayed.
Lan You really guessed this situation. When she and Lan You went on stage, it would be like going to the guillotine.
Why did things turn out like this?
She even thought about backing out, "Classmate, can you tell the director to...cancel...cancel our program? I...we won't be on..."
Instead of waiting to be laughed at, it is better to quit directly. At worst, you can just say that something happened to them and they can't dance.
Her mother's decision hurt her badly.
Lan You didn't wait for her to finish her words before saying, "Classmate, we'll be waiting behind the stage soon."
The next scene was Lan You pulling Mi Tanhua, who was about to cry but couldn't, to the back of the stage.
"Lan You, I...my legs and hands are shaking, I...can't pull anymore." Mi Tanhua looked at the emotions outside and said in a cowardly manner.
"Who was so afraid of being embarrassed that you asked me to help you? If you fail later, don't say I didn't help you." Lan You said sternly.
Mi Tanhua's trembling stopped all of a sudden, and she instantly figured it out. "Lan You, although I'm worried about myself, I'm more worried about you. After all, you're involved in this because of me. But seeing that you don't look worried at all, why should I be nervous? I just need to play my piano well, and the rest... I'll leave it to fate."
