Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Yielding Position to the Able Ones

The freshman orientation party has started. As always, there were energetic songs and passionate dances. At first glance, there didn’t seem to be any major changes, but Lv Wei had promised a unique, livelier party than ever before, and he always lived up to his words.

Besides the enthusiastic performances, he had also inserted a few small games, one of which was ’Guess Your Dream Lover’.

The rules of the game were simple: a freshman boy would stand at the front, facing away from everyone, and then female students would stand behind him. The host would ask him about his ideal goddess based on the characteristics of the women behind him.

When the host asked, "Young man, do you wish the girl you like is wearing a long dress or a short dress tonight?"

After the boy answered ’long dress’, all girls in short dresses stepped down, leaving only the ones in long dresses standing.

In this way, with the host questioning and the boy answering, from their height to their hair length, more and more girls left the stage. Eventually, only two girls remained, and everyone in the audience began to anticipate: which one would the boy choose?

The ultimate question was, "Do you hope the girl you like is wearing a red or white dress tonight?"

The boy thought for a moment and answered ’red’ which immediately heated the audience into chuckles.

That was it, the girl in white dress had to leave. Only the host, the boy and the girl in red remained on stage.

Then, the moment the host asked the boy to turn around, his eyes met with the only girl left on stage. Their glance was a tad awkward, and the crowd below began to cheer him on, hoping for something more.

The boy couldn’t help but smile. It seemed he quite fancied the girl he had ended up choosing. Everyone was curious about how she felt about him.

Fans were even encouraging the boy to say something to the girl. The audience was more anxious than the boy himself as they really wanted to see a confession, who knows, it just might happen?

Therefore, the boy briefly introduced himself and expressed how surprised he was to meet a girl like her today.

The girl politely responded. Suddenly, someone from the audience shouted, "Date, Date." And then everyone joined in, clapping and shouting together, instantly enlivening the atmosphere. This was the exact effect Lv Wei wanted: not just making the audience watch but getting them involved as well.

Gu Fan, watching from the side, admired the scene. He guessed that Lv Wei had previously arranged the one who started the cheering. This set-up, the host, the new boy, and the only girl left on stage, everything was carefully planned. Otherwise, it could have easily turned into an awkward situation.

What flabbergasted Gu Fan the most was that someone sent a flower onstage for the boy, encouraging him to confess his feelings. This made the scene even more vibrant.

Well, the game ended and the crowd was still hankering for more. Next, it was again time for some vigorous singing and dancing. Lv Wei had arranged that after a while, there would be a pause and a small game would start to keep the atmosphere lively.

This time, the dance club’s performance wasn’t the finale. Gu Fan wasn’t looking forward to Lin Xi’s performance because he had seen it too many times before. He just hoped that it would run smoothly.

However, Gu Fan’s wishes fell short because, backstage, in the dressing room, everyone in the dance club was busy preparing: putting on makeup, getting dressed, and so on.

Lin Xi didn’t seem to care. She had been through many such performances, and the dance club featured in almost every school event.

At this time, Yang Xinran came over with a smile and stood next to Lin Xi, looking interested. It seemed she needed a favor.

"Go ahead, what do you want?" Lin Xi asked nonchalantly. Over time, living in the same dorm with Yang Xinran, the two went from being hostile and silent to casual conversations. That was indeed progress.

Yang Xinran said, "This...My boyfriend will be here tonight, and I want to ask you a favor. I owe you one, can you let me have the center position?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi was taken aback. Since joining the dance club, she had never let anyone take the center. She had never even considered it. So, she casually replied, "If you take the center, and make a misstep, everything would be messed up. How would everyone accommodate you?"

"No, I’ve practiced." Yang Xinran assured with a sincere look, emphasizing over and over that she would handle it.

Lin Xi frowned at this, and the surroundings dance club members had peculiar expressions, unsure of how this power play between Lin Xi and Yang Xinran would unfold.

Noticing Lin Xi’s reluctance, Yang Xinran pleaded, "Lin Xi, can you do me this favor? You’re always at the center. Can’t you let me experience it once? You have no idea how much I admire you. For you, giving up the center once doesn’t mean much, but it means a lot to me, especially today because my boyfriend came to see me perform."

Lin Xi looked confused and said, "Is it the same guy who heroically saved you from a bunch of hooligans that one night and who seems to have quite a history with you, you guys sure moved fast?"

Seeing Yang Xinran nodding continuously, "Yes. You know how hard it is to find a reliable guy to be in a relationship. As my roommate, you wouldn’t refuse to help me, would you?"

"If I have to give up my position every time one of you has a boyfriend come over, I might as well not dance and just clap for you from the audience." Lin Xi said as she packed up her makeup. Her gestures made her intentions clear and invigorated Yang Xinran.

"If you want the center, then take it. But don’t go hating me behind my back, saying I’m always hogging the center just because I’m pretty." After saying this, Lin Xi picked up her stuff, got up, and left, her face composed but somewhat out of sorts.

Seeing Lin Xi’s intention to leave, everyone got a bit nervous, for the dance club’s performance can’t happen without Lin Xi, and they didn’t know if Yang Xinran could handle it.

Yang Xinran didn’t think that much, she always believed that she was not inferior to Lin Xi and was fully confident that she could lead the dance club to successfully complete the performance. This was her chance to prove it.

However, seeing everyone’s pessimistic faces, Yang Xinran started to boost their morale: "Alright, folks, let’s get ready. We don’t have Lin Xi this time, but we will still give an amazing performance. We can’t let everyone outside think that the dance club is nothing without Lin Xi."

"Okay, okay!" everyone replied, but they didn’t sound very enthusiastic, everyone except Yang Xinran who was eager to succeed. If she managed to successfully lead this performance, maybe she could squeeze Lin Xi out completely and become the new president of the dance club. It would be a win-win situation; she thought excitedly.
