Chapter 91: 83. Twin Beauties Unite

Nanhu University Auditorium.

The welcome party was an annual feast for the school, involving not only the entire faculty and students but also highly regarded by the school leaders and actively sponsored by several businesses.

As the day of the formal performance drew closer, the Student Union quickly organized the first rehearsal.

On and off the stage, students in makeup, formal attire, and colorful headpieces bustled about, filling the entire auditorium with youthful vitality.

"Good, good, good, the stage effects are nice, next!"

"Xiao Mu, lower the lights a bit, the actors’ faces are overexposed."

"See if there’s any other acts that want to rehearse early, ask them to come over now, there’s space!"

In the center of the auditorium, the Student Union Chairman, He Ying, stood erect with a walkie-talkie microphone on her ear, coordinating the overall effect of the welcome party.

"Chairman He, the program is almost ready."

Another member of the chairman team, Feng Changfei, hurried over, panting as he reported to He Ying.

"Alright, are the hosts ready? Let the hosts come on stage to string together their lines."

He Ying raised her wrist to check the time and nodded.

She was meticulous, rarely made mistakes, and had organized such large-scale events every year since joining the Student Union, knowing the procedures by heart.

Backstage in the auditorium, the hosts, in full dress, took to the stage, two men and two women in a classic combination, attracting attention.

"The program list is pretty much finalized now, let me discuss the allocation with you all, my thought is..."

He Ying held the freshly printed program list in her hand, her voice forceful.

"Mou Keyan has the most stage experience, let her take the opening act, followed by the two male hosts in turn."

"Wrap up with Zhong Ruixi, she’s a newcomer, and it’s less pressure to go on stage last."

"Okay with this arrangement?"

The hosts shook their heads, indicating they would follow the plan.

This year’s welcome party hosts included four people: Mou Keyan from the Music and Dance College, Li Xu from the Foreign Language College, Zhong Ruixi from the Management College, and Zhang Zecheng from the College of Life Sciences.

The two male hosts were experienced, Zhong Ruixi was selected through multiple rounds, and Mou Keyan, because of her overwhelming popularity and public demand, was no longer suitable to compete on the same stage as other acts.

Once she took the stage, winning first place would lose all meaning.

Therefore, she was directly placed in the female host position.

"Okay, I’ll distribute the programs to you, go back and write your own introductory lines, the Student Union is too busy lately to worry about this small matter."

He Ying glanced at Mou Keyan and pointed her finger at the first program.

"Mou Keyan is responsible for the opening dance ’Youth Era,’ performed by the Jinlang Dance Troupe."

"Li Xu is responsible for the skit ’No Deduction for Being Late,’ performed by Computer Science College xxx, etc."

"Zhang Zecheng is responsible for the musical performance ’Horse Racing,’ performed by xx."

"Zhong Ruixi is responsible for the poetry recital ’I Love My Country,’ performed by xxx."

...

He Ying arranged the programs one by one submitted by the various colleges, and when it came to Management College, she paused and said.

"Zhong Ruixi is responsible for the song performance ’New Boy,’ performed by Management College’s Lu Jincheng, etc."

"Okay."

The female host nodded.

"Sister Ying, could you assign this program to me, please?"

"I already prepared the intro lines."

Mou Keyan smiled, shaking her phone in her hand, signaling to He Ying.

She was tall and slender, her collarbones distinct, her delicate cheeks subtly visible under the light.

The two were prominent figures on campus, having interacted at least a few times each year, and shared a relatively good relationship.

Moreover, with Lu Jincheng’s studio binding them, their private contacts were all the closer.

"Is that so... Since Mou Keyan is prepared, should we switch her to another?"

He Ying turned her head, her gaze seeking Zhong Ruixi’s, with an inquiring expression.

Intro lines were a minor matter, and she always respected the hosts’ opinions.

"Chairman He, I’ve also written intro lines for this program, there’s no need to trouble Senior Sister Mou, right?"

Zhong Ruixi shook her head, her lips curled in a polite smile, seemingly not keen on stepping aside.

Immediately, the two female hosts’ gazes clashed.

"..."

He Ying blinked, looking from Zhong Ruixi to Mou Keyan next to her.

It seemed as though she could see a subtle spark in the air.

What’s this situation?

So both of you were preparing behind the scenes, coming prepared?

How come the program list just came out, and the intro lines are already written!

Yet after another thought, since it’s about introducing a performance by Lu Jincheng, He Ying suddenly found it more understandable.

She examined the two eager female hosts, feeling conflicted.

It seemed she was closely connected with both parties...

One side was a freshman host personally greeted by him, the other was the star of his fully-supported studio.

No, she couldn’t decide impulsively.

This may seem like a trivial matter, but it’s really not that simple!

He Ying instantly saw through the situation on the field and spread her hands as she spoke.

"Like this."

"His program is quite special, so you two go announce it together."

...

...

"It sounds so good, really good!"

In a music training room at Jiang City Finance University.

As the song ended, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Though calling it an audience is a stretch—it was just one person.

"Pretty good, right?"

Lu Jincheng put down the microphone and turned to look at his training partner.

"Not bad! This song’s modification is great, and you, little junior, sing with just the right flavor."

The training partner’s eyes were filled with surprise.

"What flavor?"

Lu Jincheng asked casually.

"How should I put it... the moment you start singing, it’s like the aspiration for the new era just bursts out of the drumbeats."

"I personally really like it."

The other training partner also smiled and gave a thumbs up, putting the guitar he was carrying back in place.

"Okay, let’s stop here for today."

Lu Jincheng nodded, taking the ice-cold Coke handed to him by a spectator.

A big gulp went down his throat to his stomach, refreshingly cool to the core.

The training partners had other matters to attend to, so Lu Jincheng stepped out of the specialized training room, followed by a little tag-along.

"Brother, you should debut too! You sing so well~"

Zhou Sinin, who had been the exclusive audience for a while, playfully swung her brown long hair, moving back and forth beside him.

"Stop flattering me."

Lu Jincheng glanced at her disdainfully.

The training room was deep inside Finance University, and she led Lu Jincheng past Wentai Building, crossing the sports field.

Pairs of couples strolled hand-in-hand around the green lawn under the night sky.

The stars twinkled, prompting Zhou Sinin to slow her pace.

"Do you notice anything different about me today?"

"Is there?"

"Of course!"

"Then come a bit closer, let me have a look."

The field was dimly lit, only the crescent moonlight reflected on the girl’s side face.

"Huh?"

Zhou Sinin tiptoed, her lower jaw raised, her lips slightly pursed, her delicate cheeks drawing closer and closer to the man.

Lu Jincheng didn’t speak right away, but kept staring at her.

Their eyes met, and their noses were just a few centimeters apart.

The sports field was bustling with young people; sounds of badminton, heavy breathing from running, and couples whispering on the grass continued to be heard.

But when Zhou Sinin looked into his eyes, she felt the world go silent, hearing nothing.

Except for the thumping of her heart getting louder and closer.

Between the quiet and the clamor, a subtle tension began to grow.

"Hey! Did you see clearly?"

Eventually, Zhou Sinin couldn’t hold back and turned her head away.

"I did, new lipstick, right?"

Lu Jincheng grinned, pointing a finger in the air towards her bright cherry lips.

"Why didn’t you say it earlier!"

"I’m not foolish, normally no beautiful lady comes this close to let me examine carefully."

"Crafty man."

Zhou Sinin pouted but felt sweet inside.

"Count you good at giving gifts, I’ve longed for this shade for ages but never managed to get it."

"No way, can’t keep asking the horse to run without letting it graze, right?"

The man teased.

"Lu Jincheng, you really have a way with words!"

Zhou Sinin raised her arm, feigning a punch, her eyes filled with playful anger.

"But hey, since you’re so good at giving gifts, help me think of something?"

"Hmm?"

Lu Jincheng looked up.

"Guan Guan’s birthday is coming up, what should I give her?"
