The performances were scheduled from 7 to 10 am, and the highlight was after 10 am. Every year, the school would invite celebrities, scholars, government officials, and famous alumni of Jin Ling High School to attend a cocktail party.
Only a small number of students could get tickets to the cocktail party. The students fought hard for the tickets, for no other reason than to befriend the boss of a company. It would be good for them in the future.
According to the pre-arranged seats, the students were already seated in their assigned seats. The teachers were busy organizing the order.
Other than the teachers, teachers, and leaders invited by the school, celebrities, government officials, and scholars, there were also reporters from Jin Ling City's print and online media who were there to report on the event.
The choreography, lighting, dry ice, spray machine, and other facilities on the stage were still undergoing intensive adjustments. They were all outsourced to a performance company to handle. Beside the stage was a lounge, where students who had performances to perform would rest, put on makeup, and prepare to perform on stage later.
Zhuo Bufan was sitting alone in the No. 8 lounge. There was a dressing table and a dressing room inside. He was alone, and there was no requirement for the recitation program. This lounge was actually a place for other classes, but he had come earlier.
As for Ye Xuan, he had already gone out with his girlfriend. He had abandoned Zhuo Bufan to stay here alone. At this time, Yan Chun Yi came to find him. "Zhuo Bufan, have you memorized the content? Have you practiced at home? Do you think you can get an award? "
"I've memorized it, but I haven't practiced yet. I wonder how it will turn out?" Zhuo Bufan said casually. She was holding the manuscript of Yue Fei's "Rivers Run Red" in her hand.
Yan Chunyi was infuriated. She held her forehead and said, "Hey, why am I telling you all this? It's like playing the lute to a cow. Forget it, I'm going to lose again this time." With that, she left the resting room in her high heels.
Zhuo Bufan shook his head helplessly. Just as Yan Chun Yi left, the door opened again. A group of people rushed in. There were about ten men and women, and they were all dressed up nicely. The smell of perfume filled the air.
"Brother Fan." Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out from the crowd. Then, a girl threw herself into his arms. Immediately, a soft jade filled his chest, and a fragrant wind assailed his nostrils.
A pair of snow-white arms wrapped around his waist. Zhuo Bufan was startled. Then, the girl realized that there were classmates behind her. She blushed and lowered her head shyly. "Brother Fan, I'm sorry. I was too excited."
"It's okay." Zhuo Bufan saw the girl clearly. It turned out to be Zhang Tongtong. But this time, Zhang Tongtong had put on heavy makeup. Her eyelids were smeared with eyeshadow, and her eyeliner was very deep. She was wearing a long black dress that revealed her shoulders. Her hair was tied up in a bun with kite feathers on it. She looked a bit like Faye Wong.
She was not as youthful as usual. Instead, she looked more charming and mature. This made Zhuo Bufan's eyes light up. Zhang Tongtong could feel Zhuo Bufan's eyes on her. Her face was red and hot, and she felt like licking her lips.
"Tongtong, who is this?" Standing behind Zhang Tongtong, a tall and handsome man asked with a frown.
Zhuo Bufan looked at him. He seemed to have seen him before. He was the young man who followed Liu Chuyi at the milk tea shop this afternoon. Zhuo Bufan could feel a sense of hostility in his eyes. He could not help but frown. He did not seem to have any grudges with him!
"Senior Song, this is Brother Fan. His name is Zhuo Bufan. He's my friend." Zhang Tongtong reacted and introduced. "Brother Fan, this is Senior Song. We've been good friends since we were young."
Senior Song's real name was Song Zhiliang. He was handsome and had good grades. He was very popular with the girls in school. He extended his hand. "Zhuo Bufan. Outstanding. Surpassing Bufan. What a good name."
"Senior Song is also very famous." Zhuo Bufan politely extended his hand to shake. But he felt his hand tighten. He seemed to be squeezing his hand hard, as if warning him.
But what kind of person was Zhuo Bufan? Even if he used all his strength, it would only feel like a tickle to Zhuo Bufan.
"Huh?" Song Zhiliang saw that Zhuo Bufan's expression was normal. He did not want to shake his hand for too long and let go.
"You're not a student in our class. Why are you in our lounge?" A girl with heavy makeup asked with a frown.
The girl was Song Zhiliang's classmate. Her name was Liu Qinshu. Her looks were above average. Compared to Zhang Tongtong, she was a far cry. She stood in front of Zhang Tongtong and looked at Zhuo Bufan coldly.
"The teacher arranged it. I'm the only one in our class, so I've been arranged to share this lounge with you." Zhuo Bufan said.
Liu Qinshu ignored him. The other students were also busy with their makeup. Zhang Tongtong pulled Zhuo Bufan to a seat inside. As she adjusted her costume, she said, "Brother Fan, I'm so nervous. I've never performed on stage alone."
"You have to believe in yourself." Zhuo Bufan smiled.
"Yeah. Brother Fan, cheer me on. I'll do my best." Zhang Tongtong's eyes shone with determination.
Liu Qinshu, on the other hand, was helping Song Zhiliang with his things, pouring water and taking tissues, but she found that Song Zhiliang's eyes kept looking at Zhang Tongtong, intentionally or unintentionally, with a look of jealousy in his eyes.
They were originally the most promising couple in the class. Unfortunately, there was also Zhang Tongtong. Song Zhiliang did not say anything. Liu Qinshu glared at Zhang Tongtong. Suddenly, her phone received a message. "Sister Qin, I've done everything for you. I've deleted the soundtrack of Zhang Tongtong's songs. She'll be making a fool of herself later."
"Good job. I'll send you the money." Liu Qinshu quietly replied. She put away her phone and looked at Zhang Tongtong proudly. She bribed the staff in charge of playing the music and deliberately deleted the accompaniment of Zhang Tongtong's songs. She wanted to embarrass Zhang Tongtong in front of Song Zhiliang.
At this time, someone called Zhang Tongtong out to get something. "Brother Fan, wait for me. I'll be back soon."
As soon as Zhang Tongtong left the lounge, Song Zhiliang could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked in front of Zhuo Bufan. He looked down at him and said, "I want to say a few words to you!"
"What do you want to say to me?" Zhuo Bufan asked with a frown.
"Come with me." Song Zhiliang's tone carried a hint of arrogance. He was used to being the most influential person in the school and others were submissive to him.
Zhuo Bufan's face was a little cold. Seeing him walk into the locker room, he followed him in.
The changing room was actually just a few wooden boards and curtains. Everyone had changed their clothes and were waiting to go on stage, but no one was in the changing room.
"Zhuo Bufan, right? Tongtong and I grew up together. We have a deep relationship." Song Zhiliang looked at Zhuo Bufan coldly, with a proud attitude.
Zhuo Bufan said, "So what?"
