Chapter 304: Chapter 304 Jiang Rou’s Sinister Scheme 9_1

After she left, Xia Ningxing subtly avoided everyone and swapped their performance costumes.

Everyone’s performance costumes were the same except for the size difference.

Fortunately, Xia Ningxing and Jiang Rou had similar heights and figures, so their sizes were the same.

By the time Xia Ningxing had changed into her performance costume, Jiang Rou returned with a frown, clearly displeased, "Xiaxia, the director didn’t call for me, why did you say he did?"

Her voice was slightly raised, and the members of the dance troupe who were either putting on makeup or changing their clothes couldn’t help but look over at the two of them.

Xia Ningxing slapped the back of her head in annoyance, her face apologetic, "I’m really sorry, Jiang Rou, I forgot it wasn’t you the director wanted but my partner, Tingli. I don’t know how it happened, but I got it mixed up and told you instead."

"Really?" Jiang Rou narrowed her eyes suspiciously, casting a doubtful glance at her. She felt that something was odd.

However, seeing her already dressed in the performance costume, Jiang Rou sighed and her lips curved, her displeasure fading, "Never mind then, I suppose you didn’t do it on purpose, Xiaxia. Alright, let’s hurry and finish our makeup, our performance is coming up."

With that, she changed into her performance costume as well.

She knew Xia Ningxing was no fool and was worried she might notice something off about the costume and make a fuss about not wearing it, so she had hidden it very carefully; as a result, even after the swap, Jiang Rou herself hadn’t noticed.

On the stage, a man and a woman had already taken their positions as hosts.

After delivering an impassioned opening speech, they began to announce the programs one by one.

Xia Ningxing and her group were the last, so they still had some time.

About an hour later, it was finally Xia Ningxing and her group’s turn to perform their dance.

The host announced, "Next, let’s invite the ladies from the opera troupe to bring us a graceful dance—’Building the Dream of Scientific Research Together!’

"Let’s welcome them with a round of applause!"

Below, a sound like cascading applause erupted instantaneously.

Lu Tingli included, who also clapped his hands.

That stern face, usually so reserved, unexpectedly revealed a look of anticipation.

"Little Lu, are you really that interested in this dance?" The director, noticing that he had sat expressionless for half the day without clapping for anyone, was surprised to see him so excited now.

Before Lu Tingli could speak, a group of teasing researchers laughed and said, "Director, you don’t know this, but Lu’s little wife is in this dance! Of course, he’s got to be excited!"

"So that’s it..." The director laughed, thinking no wonder.

When Xia Ningxing and the others walked out in pink performance skirts, Lu Tingli’s team members suddenly stood up, cheering and shouting with all their might—

"Sister-in-law, you’ve got this!"

Jiang Rou watched them cheering and couldn’t help but sneer; she thought to herself that they were in for a surprise soon.

On the stage, Xia Ningxing’s delicate red lips broke into a slight smile, her gaze fixed on only one person, Lu Tingli.

Lu Tingli did the same.

"Good luck."

He moved his lips, mouthing the words silently.

Xia Ningxing mouthed back "okay", and then, as the music began, she and the opera troupe members started to dance elegantly.

This time, Xia Ningxing and Jiang Rou were the lead dancers, positioned at opposite ends of the stage.

The dance was spectacular, with many high-difficulty moves such as splits and bends.

"Great!"

Each time they reached these parts, the whole institute cheered and applauded.

Wonderful!

It was indeed marvelous!

Especially Captain Lu’s young wife, whose dance was the most beautiful, and she was the most beautiful, her skin glowing like snow.
