Chapter 86 Lu Chiyu was “forced” onto the stage, but his sword dance amazed the audience!
Commander Xie and the others were now sitting upright with serious expressions, without any trace of the enjoyment they had when watching the show before.
She was frightened and tried to calm herself down, but her movements went wrong due to nervousness. The dance was already at the end and it was too late for her to make amends. She could only end the dance in a hurry.
When the dance ended, there was no applause from the audience. Only later did sparse applause begin to be heard.
Rong Shan almost cried when she saw the effect. It was completely opposite to what she had imagined, where she would be the center of attention and be cheered by the audience!
But the next moment, she thought of her next plan and regained her composure.
So after gracefully bowing, she did not leave the stage. Instead, she smiled and said to the audience, "Thank you all for appreciating my dance, but I'm sure you guys wouldn't be satisfied with just one solo, right?
I just heard that there is a very outstanding and versatile Comrade Lu Chiyu among the wives of soldiers in our military region. How about we ask her to perform a dance for everyone?
This is her first time attending our New Year's Eve party, let her show off her talents to everyone."
As soon as these words were spoken, the already cold atmosphere became even more weird.
What's going on? Are they serious about letting Lu Chiyu, a military wife, compete in dancing with Rong Shan, a professional female soldier in the art troupe?
Singing a song is fine, but who would go out of their way to learn dancing? Isn’t that bullying?
Moreover, Lu Chiyu was still watching from the audience and had not gone backstage to prepare. It was obvious that Rong Shan had added the program on her own initiative!
Rong Shan saw that it was different from what she had imagined. No one urged Lu Chiyu to come up and perform. Her heart sank again.
But having said this, she would not allow Lu Chiyu not to perform. She must see him being utterly humiliated by her solo dance.
Imagining the scene where Lu Chiyu couldn't dance and made a fool of himself by gesticulating and gesturing on stage, Rong Shan almost laughed out loud, and became even more determined to force Lu Chiyu to come up.
Humph, her solo dance just now was a mess. Only an uglier solo dance can make people feel that her ballet just now was elegant and beautiful. Aren’t things judged by comparison?
Thinking of this, Rong Shan looked at Lu Chiyu and asked directly, "Comrade Lu Chiyu, would you be willing to dance for us?"
The implication is that if Lu Chiyu doesn't agree, he will be ungenerous.
For a moment, many people couldn't help but look at Lu Chiyu with concern.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Chiyu was not panicked at all. She nodded with a calm smile on her face and said, "Of course I am willing, but adding any program requires the approval of the leaders and everyone else."
When Rong Shan heard this, she thought she was afraid and deliberately shirking the responsibility. She felt even more proud and said to the audience with a smile, "Leaders, comrades, do you mind if Comrade Lu Chiyu dances for us?"
Who would mind her asking that? Seeing that no one in the audience was talking, Rong Shan smiled and said to Lu Chiyu, "Comrade Lu Chiyu, you see, no one minds you dancing on stage, so you won't refuse again, right?"
"Of course not." Lu Chiyu said with a smile as she stood up. Of course, she still had a thousand ways to refuse this performance and make Rong Shan look bad.
But no matter what, it will appear that she has no talent, which is also a shame.
So she wanted to perform, she wanted to beat Rong Shan's face thoroughly.
Seeing Lu Chiyu walk onto the stage, Gu Yuan, who had returned at some point, led the applause, and then the next commander, General Xie, also followed suit. The scene finally recovered from the weird atmosphere.
The next moment, thunderous applause broke out!
When Rong Shan saw Commander Xie actually taking the lead in applauding Lu Chiyu, her heart couldn't help but panic, but at this moment something made her even more panicked.
Because she just realized that Gu Yuan was walking up from the back of the audience, she immediately looked towards the position of Captain Lin with a frightened face.
She...she had just flirted with the wrong person. For a moment, Rong Shan was so scared that she almost fainted.
But at this moment Lu Chiyu had already come up, and she could only leave the stage with a messy mood.
Seeing Lu Chiyu go on stage, except for Gu Yuan who was full of confidence in her, many people were worried about what kind of dance she would perform.
When the host was about to interrupt with some crisis public relations jokes and let Lu Chiyu sing a song, Lu Chiyu asked her for a prop sword from the previous program.
Seeing Lu Chiyu holding a sword, everyone immediately became curious. Even Gu Yuan was curious about what his little girl would perform next.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, Lu Chiyu began to dance with a long sword in his hand.
Every stroke of the sword was as light as a startled wild goose or a swimming dragon. She made the smooth sword flowers flow like flowing water and flutter in the wind.
In the end, the sword flowers and light leaps were performed together, and Lu Chiyu flew across the stage like a butterfly, beautiful like a poem.
But in this poetic sword dance, a force that cannot be ignored is revealed, which is truly as ethereal as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon!
After the dance, her sword skills suddenly became more fierce, and at this moment everyone seemed to see a majestic female general.
Seeing this, the audience, who had been stunned by her graceful sword dance before, suddenly became excited, and there was thunderous applause and cheers.
The reporters' flashlights flashed like a whole field!
Until the end of the dance, everyone had not yet recovered from their trance. When Lu Chiyu left the stage and saw the audience was in complete silence, she couldn't help but frown and looked at her soldier brother for help.
Gu Yuan saw her gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he raised his hand again to lead the applause.
When Gu Yuan's applause rang out, everyone at the scene suddenly woke up from their dream, and then broke into prolonged applause and cheers.
"good!"
"pretty!"
"That's great! Comrade Lu Chiyu, you are the female general in my mind."
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, you are the most admired..."
The audience was filled with endless praise, and the military wives almost broke their hands from clapping. However, Rong Shan backstage was pale and her face was swollen.
When Lu Chiyu saw everyone's reaction, she was shocked.
However, the sword dance she just performed was something she learned from her grandfather since she was a child. Unlike the usual ones which only had sword moves but no actual skills, her sword skills could really be used in combat.
So she understood that in addition to marveling at the beauty of this sword dance, everyone was also impressed by her dominance.
Lu Chiyu couldn't help but proudly cast a look at her soldier brother that said "I'm awesome, right?", and then Captain Gu gave her a thumbs up from a distance!
Like everyone else who was excited, Gu Yuan was also very upset at the moment. His little girl was much better than he had expected.
She looked like her whole body was glowing, making him addicted!
After more than a minute, the cheers from the audience gradually subsided and the host finally found the opportunity to go on stage.
But just as she was about to say something, there was another round of cheers of "One more!" from the audience!
Unlike the strange silence when Rong Shan suggested Lu Chiyu perform a dance, everyone was extremely excited to ask Lu Chiyu to perform another one.
Seeing the crowd so excited, the host Zhang Yu, who had a bit of a conflict with Rong Shan and was also the mainstay of the cultural troupe, said with a smile, "Comrade Lu Chiyu, it seems that everyone hasn't seen enough of your performance. How about you give us another one?"
After Zhang Yu said this, the audience cheered even louder.
Seeing how excited everyone was, Lu Chiyu couldn't refuse such a kind invitation. She hesitated for a second before nodding and smiling, "Then I'll sing 'Naval Port Night' for everyone. I hope this song will praise the soldiers of our South Island Military Region who have been guarding the coastal defense for many years."
Then the familiar accompaniment of "Naval Port Night" sounded, and Lu Chiyu's singing also began to sound.
"The night in the naval port is quiet. The sea breeze blows gently, the waves rock gently, and our warships have weighed anchor..."
Lu Chiyu has an excellent voice. As soon as her voice sounded, the whole audience was amazed and applause broke out immediately.
She also has a wide vocal range and can easily handle both high and low notes. She sang the song "Night in the Naval Port" to her fullest potential.
Coupled with her heartfelt praise for the soldiers of the Nandao Military Region who guard the southern border of the motherland, the song is full of emotion and people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
In her singing, a picture scroll unfolds, and the lovely warriors in the picture come alive...
Suddenly everyone was moved and intoxicated.
The guests looked at the soldiers of the South Island Military Region with admiration, and the soldiers couldn't help but shed tears. They even seemed to hear the song in their dreams tonight, falling asleep to it just as the song said...
Of course, this is all later!
When Lu Chiyu finished his song, the audience burst into applause again.
There was no cheering this time, but there was a sense of tacit emotion surging in it, and everyone's eyes looking at Lu Chiyu became more enthusiastic.
Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan looked at each other from afar in the crowd. Gu Yuan gave her a big smile, and in an instant, the two of them understood each other.
In the future, they will accompany each other in this South Island, and witness together the growing strength of their coastal defense and the prosperity of their motherland.
After Lu Chiyu, the show lasted for more than half an hour before ending, but this was the most exciting moment of the whole show!
