Chapter 252: She and I, Not Very Pleasant
On Saturday afternoon, Ye Chuxiao went to the library to study, but she was restless.
Senior Student Ziyi and Nangong Yanting were practicing their cooperation in the dance practice room at the University Student Activity Center, and Ye Chuxiao was worried about the situation there.
Last night, she had personally seen Nangong Yanting mercilessly scold Senior Student Ziyi for being slow, uninspired, and stupid.
Although she and Senior Student Ziyi had been practicing last night and this morning, it would be difficult to reach Nangong Yanting’s professional standard.
Would Senior Student Ziyi be scolded again? Ye Chuxiao knew Senior Student Ziyi had good manners, and Senior Student Ziyi endured Nangong Yanting’s repeated poor attitude.
But she was afraid Senior Student Ziyi would lose his temper and they would part ways, and where would they find someone to be Senior Student Ziyi’s backup dancer now?
Tonight at eight o’clock, the finals of the Campus Top Ten Singers competition would begin, and Ye Chuxiao hoped everything would go smoothly.
At half-past seven in the evening, Ye Chuxiao, Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi arrived at the auditorium.
The auditorium had audience seats downstairs and upstairs, but the capacity was limited. This comprehensive university had over thirty colleges, and when further divided by major, year, and class, each class only received about ten tickets.
Furthermore, with Lin Chusheng and Lu Ziyi, two extremely popular school hunks, participating in this competition, tickets were impossible to get even if one fought for them.
The four girls from Ye Chuxiao’s dormitory had obtained two family and friends tickets each from Lu Ziyi and Lin Chusheng to get in.
The competition was still half an hour away from starting, and the audience seats were already mostly filled. Ye Chuxiao was still worried about Lu Ziyi’s preparation, so she called him.
Lu Ziyi didn’t say how he was doing, only saying, “Xiaoxiao, can you come to the backstage for a bit?”
If she could go backstage, it would naturally be good, and Ye Chuxiao immediately agreed.
Ye Chuxiao informed Bai Qianqian and the others that she had something to attend to, then left through the side door on the west side and went to the side entrance to backstage.
Lu Ziyi was waiting for her at the entrance. The singers were almost all done with their makeup and costumes.
However, Lu Ziyi was still dressed cleanly and refreshingly, just like during rehearsals. As for makeup, he was the type who relied on his good looks and never considered wearing any.
Ye Chuxiao ran towards the exceptionally handsome, cool-tempered young man and asked anxiously, “Senior Student Ziyi, how did your practice with Senior Nangong go this afternoon?”
“Not very pleasant,” Lu Ziyi said directly. “She came at three in the afternoon and left with a dark expression at half-past three, saying that it was no use practicing and she didn’t want to delay her dance competition training time, and that whatever happened tonight was fine.”
“Then Senior Nangong, is she… here now?” Ye Chuxiao wanted to plead with Nangong Yanting to calm down, as Lu Ziyi’s performance was later, and there was still a little time to practice their cooperation.
Lu Ziyi said indifferently, “She cherishes her time preparing for her dance competition. If she comes, it will probably be when I’m about to go on stage.”
Ye Chuxiao said anxiously, “Senior Student Ziyi, why don’t you call Senior Nangong and ask her to come a bit earlier? After the competition, I’ll treat her to a meal, okay?”
“I don’t care about that meal!” Lu Ziyi said. “She doesn’t like me and is probably afraid I’ll bother her. She didn’t want to give me her phone number.”
Sigh, Senior Nangong was really angry that Senior Ziyi was delaying her competition training.
As Ye Chuxiao and Lu Ziyi were talking, a clear and pleasant male voice called out, “Xiaoxiao!”
