After the start of the new semester, the school became lively again.
The final round of the school anniversary program selection has arrived as scheduled.
I don't know if the school leaders took pity on us, but the final competition was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon during club activities, when everyone was free, so there were a lot of people coming to the auditorium to watch the competition.
Pei Xi naturally stepped forward to support Shen Miaoyi from the audience.
Not only her, but Pei Zhi and Shi Chen also followed her, which surprised her.
Seeing Pei Xi's surprised gaze, Shi Chen smiled and asked, "Is Miaomiao just one of your friends?"
Pei Xi opened his eyes, and indeed he couldn't refute it.
Shi Chen added, "Besides, you know Pei Zhi'ai is just joining in the fun."
Hearing this, Pei Zhi glanced at him and said irritably, "Go to hell."
It was clearly Shi Chen who dragged him here, but in his mouth, it became that he was just a busybody?
Pei Xi shook his head, indicating that he was used to the way the two of them argued.
It would be strange if the two of them stopped arguing.
Because they arrived early, the group secured advantageous positions in the front row with excellent views.
Shen Miaoyi went backstage early to prepare. She lifted a corner of the curtain and saw Pei Xi and the others sitting there. She smiled and waved to them.
When Pei Xi saw her, he raised his arm high and waved, silently mouthing "Go for it!" to her.
Beside her, Pei Zhi and Shi Chen also raised their arms and waved to her.
Upon receiving the signals from the others, Shen Miaoyi's tense and flustered emotions calmed down considerably.
She lowered the curtain, turned around, and was startled to find someone standing behind her.
The person in front of her had a signature straight fringe, delicate features with an air of arrogance, and was looking at her with his arms crossed and his eyes slightly raised.
His gaze was aggressive; in short, he was not friendly.
Shen Miaoyi asked hesitantly, "...Is something the matter?"
“I know you. That dessert shop near the school gate is run by your grandma,” Sun Yufei said, her voice clear and pleasant.
Upon hearing her mention the old lady's dessert shop, Shen Miaoyi's initial resistance vanished instantly, her face lighting up with joy as she asked, "Have you ever eaten here?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yufei immediately snorted, "How could I possibly..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Miaoyi suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, you don't drink these sweet things to protect your voice."
"How did you know?" Sun Yufei was taken aback. She frowned, a hint of seriousness and wariness flashing in her eyes. "You even investigated this?"
Shen Miaoyi waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, I overheard it by accident when I was in the supermarket."
Sun Yufei's brow relaxed slightly, but she still looked at her with a scrutinizing expression.
She had heard her perform live during a previous competition.
Everyone else is not a threat, but this person is undoubtedly her biggest opponent right now.
She had never paid attention to her before, and she didn't know why she had suddenly appeared now.
Sun Yufei raised her eyebrows, her words brimming with arrogance and her tone certain: "You sang quite well, but I will definitely eliminate you."
Shen Miaoyi was visibly stunned upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected that there would be a tough talk session before the competition.
But what can she do? She...she doesn't know how...
After a few seconds, she met Sun Yufei's gaze timidly and said, "Um, then...me too."
Sun Yufei: "..."
She took a breath, hugged her arms tighter, and raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Were those people who greeted you outside just now your good friends?"
Shen Miaoyi paused for a moment, then nodded firmly.
“Yes,” she said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Sun Yufei's eyes.
This seemingly silly girl actually has so many good friends.
A hint of confusion flashed across Sun Yufei's face.
She is clearly much better than her.
But she has never had any friends growing up.
Even if there are such people, it's nothing more than being drawn to her aura and feeling that it would be prestigious to associate with her, which is why they try to curry favor with her.
She didn't actually want to be friends with them.
But even more than that, she disliked doing everything alone.
So I had no choice but to stay with them.
But ever since she found out that the two girls were playing dirty tricks on her behind her back and deliberately mocking and humiliating others, she has never hung out with them again.
She thinks such a person is beneath her; he doesn't deserve to be her friend.
"They're waiting for you to be eliminated so they can comfort you immediately, right?"
For reasons unknown, Sun Yufei retorted with a stiff sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Shen Miaoyi frowned. After a few seconds, she shook her head and explained earnestly, "No, they came to cheer me on."
Sun Yufei: "".
She's seen firsthand what it means to punch cotton.
She gritted her teeth and scoffed, "Are you really stupid or just pretending?"
Shen Miaoyi exclaimed "Ah!" and frowned, saying, "I don't understand what you mean."
She lowered her gaze and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little slow."
Sun Yufei: "".
Indeed, the most invincible thing in the world is extreme honesty.
She was so honest that she had nothing to say.
How can someone have such strong defense?
Didn't those two people say that she went to the corridor and cried after being criticized a few times?
Sun Yufei took a deep breath and hugged her chest even tighter.
This was the first time in her life she had encountered such a strange person.
I was the one saying harsh things to her, so why is she the one who got angry instead?
Beside her, Shen Miaoyi looked at Sun Yufei's unpleasant expression, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
She could tell that the man seemed angry.
But what exactly is she angry about?
She was the one who approached her first.
Shen Miaoyi recalled that she hadn't said anything bad about her.
She thought for a moment, frowned, and decided to comfort her.
So she said with utmost sincerity, "Although I don't know why you're angry, please don't be angry. Try to relax before you go on stage."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yufei gritted her teeth and said, "Who said I was angry?"
Shen Miaoyi was taken aback, unsure how to respond.
She rarely encounters people who say one thing but mean another.
So she thought for a moment and came up with what she thought was a very reasonable answer. She said, "Oh, then if you say no, then let's just pretend no."
Sun Yufei: "???"
She did it on purpose!
