Chapter 122 Opening Ceremony (Part 2)
"I don't care, you have to treat me to dinner later!"
I never expected Ouyang Luoxue to propose this punishment. Is this punishment? It's a perk!
Qian Yuhan actually has feelings for Ouyang Luoxue, but he's hesitant to take things further because he's afraid of a repeat of the ending he had with Hu Lin'er.
“Okay, I promise you—” Qian Yuhan said with a smile.
……
"Luo Xue, when you go on stage later, please say more about this part—"
A teacher holding a soul-guided communicator and wearing a soul-guided headset walked over, took out a manuscript, and spoke to Ouyang Luoxue.
Qian Yuhan witnessed Ouyang Luoxue's expression darken, and she reverted to the ice queen that others had described.
He tried to suppress a laugh, but his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably. Ouyang Luoxue's gaze was also drawn to Qian Yuhan's appearance, and she stopped listening to what the teacher beside her was saying. She thought to herself with regret: "Oh no, this is so embarrassing! Can't he just pretend he didn't see it? Ugh!!"
"Luo Xue, Luo Xue, did you hear me clearly?!" The teacher waved his hand in front of Ouyang Luo Xue's eyes, which brought Ouyang Luo Xue back to her senses.
"Understood." The three words were cold and emotionless.
The teacher walked away without saying anything.
"Are you tired?" Qian Yuhan asked with a smile.
"What? What do you mean by tired?" Ouyang Luoxue didn't react.
"You're not usually like this, so why pretend to be all cold and emotionless? Isn't that exhausting?"
Ouyang Luoxue smiled and said, "So, do you prefer me the way I am now, or the aloof one I was just now?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Yuhan replied, "Of course I like you—" But as soon as she finished speaking, Qian Yuhan fell silent, looking around in a panic.
"Silly girl, hehe—it's kind of cute like this," Ouyang Luoxue thought to herself.
……
"Next, please welcome student representative Ouyang Luoxue from Class 1, Grade 3 of Minyu School to speak—" the host on stage announced.
The two chatted backstage, neither knowing when the opening ceremony started. Ouyang Luoxue hurriedly said, "See you at the cafeteria at noon, no running away! If you try to run away—"
After saying that, he made a throat-slitting gesture towards Qian Yuhan, then turned around and walked towards the stage.
Qian Yuhan smiled as he watched Ouyang Luoxue's retreating figure, shook his head, sighed, and said:
"This girl is really, really cute—"
On stage, Ouyang Luoxue spoke eloquently, sharing her insights and experiences from theoretical learning to practical combat. She then took an oath on behalf of all the students, speaking in a very official manner.
After finishing her speech, Ouyang Luoxue went down to the opposite backstage area from the other side.
"Students, starting this semester, our exchange program between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the number one Spirit Hall Academy on the continent will begin. The exchange students sent by Spirit Hall Academy have already arrived at our academy, and they will spend three and a half years with us on this wonderful campus. Now, let's give a round of applause to welcome the student representative from Spirit Hall Academy, Qian Yuhan, to the stage to speak—"
Mu Chen, Tang Xuan, Tang Chen, and Fang Ya clapped enthusiastically in the audience, while the other students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy also applauded sincerely.
Meanwhile, the other, less normal students started acting up as soon as the host finished speaking—
"Hmph—what are you pretending for, number one on the mainland? Hmph—"
"Boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own is shameful, shameful indeed."
"Our Heavenly Dou Royal Family cannot afford to lose face like that—"
"Get down, get down—"
Those students who caused trouble were either descendants of members of the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire or nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Their homeroom teachers didn't stop them, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare to!
"These bastards—" Mu Chen said angrily upon seeing this. He was about to stand up and argue when Fang Ya pulled him back.
Mu Chen turned to look at Fang Ya, who shook her head at him, signaling him to calm down.
Mu Chen sat down angrily, and Fang Ya smiled gently at him before turning her gaze to the group of guys and turning cold.
"Quiet!" An elderly man in a black and gold robe stood up from the leadership seat of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and shouted sternly.
The audience immediately fell silent.
The old man gestured for the bewildered host on stage to continue.
Qian Yuhan slowly walked onto the stage, his face gloomy, clearly also angry.
The host couldn't help but feel uneasy looking at Qian Yuhan's gloomy face, fearing that Qian Yuhan might suddenly explode on the spot.
But to his surprise, when Qian Yuhan turned around to face everyone, a smile appeared on her face...
Good morning, everyone!
Before he could finish speaking, the white-haired guy in the audience named Wu Yifan loudly retorted, "Good my ass, hahaha—"
Qian Yuhan stared at the source of the sound. Wu Yifan met his gaze and couldn't help but shudder, thinking to himself:
"Terrifying! How could I be afraid?!"
Seeing that he had stopped causing trouble, Qian Yuhan smiled again and slowly continued to speak what he had prepared in advance.
The members of the Tiandou Royal Academy's teaching committee below the stage looked at the spirited Qian Yuhan on the stage and nodded in satisfaction, their admiring gazes all falling on Qian Yuhan.
Five minutes later, Qian Yuhan finished his speech. Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and many students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy spontaneously clapped in agreement.
The faces of those nobles and royal playboys turned dark with embarrassment. Their lackeys, in a panic, said:
"What are you clapping for? A bunch of traitors, traitors!"
"Stop drumming, you bunch of traitors!"
……
Qian Yuhan walked off the stage with a smile and a graceful gait. His handsome face and confident stride attracted the attention of many. Just then, Ouyang Luoxue walked lightly to Qian Yuhan's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said sweetly, "Not bad, very handsome!"
This heartwarming scene was witnessed by someone sitting in the front row. This person was none other than Ning Kaiwen from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who had previously clashed with Qian Yuhan! Ning Kaiwen's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water, his eyes fixed on Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue, and he gritted his teeth as he muttered in a low voice:
"That damn bastard! How dare he be so arrogant! He's really giving us a hard time!!"
The two henchmen standing beside Ning Kaiwen keenly sensed their boss's unusual emotional fluctuation. They cautiously approached and whispered:
"Boss, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
However, Ning Kaiwen was currently enraged and had no time to pay attention to his two lackeys. He abruptly turned his head, glared at them fiercely, and roared:
"Shut up! Don't bother me!"
Having said that, Ning Kaiwen turned his gaze back to the spot where the two had just been backstage, but it was now completely empty. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, and continued to curse in a low voice:
"Hmph, very well, Qian Yuhan! We'll see. I'll see if you can still live so smugly in this Heaven Dou Royal Academy, hehe..."
……
……
I'm taking a day off tomorrow! Updates will resume as normal on the evening of the 29th.
Wishing everyone a prosperous and happy Year of the Snake, and may your work and studies go smoothly!
