Xiaoling was especially happy to have played matchmaker for a day, and her lips were always turned up in a smile on her way home.
Amidst this intense preparation, Xiao Qing and Huo Siyun successfully stepped into the gates of high school.
Xiao Qing inherited all the good looks of Li Chuan and An Ran. She was a beauty from childhood to adulthood. After learning about makeup in high school, she became even more poised and outstanding.
In addition, Xiao Qing's cheerful and generous personality earned her a lot of popularity at school.
However, as long as someone excels, their opponents, or haters, will inevitably follow. In Xiaoqing's class, there was such a person who constantly opposed Xiaoqing in every way.
His name is Xiaoxin. He is also a very outstanding person, but his excellence seems insignificant in front of Xiaoqing. This puts the class beauty at a disadvantage, and no boys pay attention to him. Therefore, he is particularly resentful of Xiaoqing.
He would be the first to embarrass Xiao Qing whenever he had the chance.
Their homeroom teacher soon took to the stage to welcome them to school and told them that they could showcase their talents at the freshman party a week later.
Shin-chan's greatest talent is music, so in order to attract attention, he decisively stood up first and signed up for a performance with the teacher.
After seeing that others had applied, others also expressed their own preferences for the programs they wanted to apply for.
He watched as everyone in the class eagerly signed up, but Xiao Qing sat there as if it had nothing to do with her. He then concluded that Xiao Qing was a girl without any special talents.
So he asked Xiaoqing in front of the teacher.
"Xiao Qing, I heard you were really good at ballet before. You should sign up and bring honor to our class." Xiao Xi looked at Xiao Qing, who was staring blankly, and secretly rejoiced.
Judging from his stunned expression, how could he have practiced such elegant ballet? So she wanted to embarrass Xiao Qing in front of everyone at the freshman ball.
Upon hearing that one of their students had experience in ballet, the teacher quickly wrote his name on the report. Ballet is an elegant dance, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would likely win an award at the freshman welcome party, bringing honor to their class and making the teacher proud.
Xiao Qing had previously enrolled in many dance classes, including ballet, out of interest, but her knowledge of it was limited to a few people who knew about it.
Since he started high school, he had never told anyone that he had studied ballet before, so he knew immediately that this little devil was deliberately trying to make trouble for him and embarrass him at the freshman party.
Xiao Qing, who was initially about to refuse because she didn't want to attract much attention at the freshman party, immediately gave her name to the teacher and told her that this was the dance she would be performing at the freshman party.
He watched with a sneer as Xiao Qing continued to put on a brave face.
Xiao Qing, who could have gone home on time, suddenly decided to perform at the freshman welcome party. So every night after school, he would stay in the school's dance studio to practice the piece he was going to perform before going home.
As Xiao Qing's knight, Huo Siyun would naturally wait for Xiao Qing to go home together.
The day before the party, Shin-chan wanted to stay and practice for her performance the next day, but then she suddenly saw Haru dancing gracefully in the dance studio.
On the dance floor, Xiao Qing was like the brightest star in the sky, captivating everyone's attention.
This made Xiaoxin, who was originally waiting to see Xiaoqing make a fool of herself, clench his fists tightly, so much so that he didn't even notice that his fists were sinking into his flesh.
She absolutely cannot let Xiao Qing's dance performance go smoothly on stage, otherwise he will only shine even brighter, while she will truly be nothing.
Then he thought of a good idea, sneered, and watched as Xiao Qing, who was still practicing her dance, left.
The freshman welcome party was held as scheduled. First, the principal gave a speech welcoming all the students to this big family. Next, each of the deans of studies gave a speech, followed by the final segment: performances by the freshmen.
Their program numbers were determined by a lottery beforehand. Shin-chan's program was number eight, while Haru's program was number 20.
Xiao Qing's performance is towards the end, which puts her at a disadvantage. The audience has already drawn everyone's attention earlier, and by the end, they'll only become more and more fatigued. If her performance fails to capture their interest, she'll just be cannon fodder.
After Shin-chan finished his performance, he heard the applause from below and glanced meaningfully at Haru, who was still working hard backstage.
When the host called number 20, Xiao Qing gracefully stepped onto the stage in her ballet attire.
She got into position and waited for the music to start.
However, the music played on stage was not the one she was supposed to perform. Instead, it was a different ballet piece that was even more challenging than the one she had chosen.
Xiao Qing was only stunned for a moment before she began to dance gracefully to the music.
The piece that Xiaoqing chose is very suitable for high school students to dance, but this piece is beyond the range of movements that high school students are expected to perform.
However, if this piece is performed well, it will definitely be much better than the piece he chose before.
As he danced gracefully, Xiaoxin, who was waiting in the audience to see Xiaoqing make a fool of herself, was instantly stunned. He had clearly chosen a very difficult piece of music, so why was Xiaoqing able to dance it so well? And so elegantly at that.
Xiaoxin left the scene with resentment and went backstage.
As the music ended, Xiao Qing's movements also came to a close, and as she finished the last task, everyone stood up and applauded loudly.
He bowed to the audience and then walked backstage.
The enthusiastic applause from the receptionist had reached Xiaoxin's ears without a sound, which was like a slap in the face, reminding him of his failure.
Xiao Qing knew who it was without even thinking. He changed his song at the last minute, but he didn't get angry. He just sat down in his seat and removed his makeup.
Seeing Xiao Qing's successful performance, Huo Siyu wanted to go backstage to congratulate him. When he appeared at the backstage door, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up immediately. He had never seen such a gentle, refined, and handsome boy before.
His cautious gaze followed Huo Siyun.
Seeing Huo Siyun walking straight towards him, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
As Huo Siyun approached him, he reached out his hands to take the flowers from her, only to find that she walked straight past him toward Xiao Qing behind her.
