Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Song Zhou changed into a different costume off stage.
When he went on stage again, it was as if he had accidentally stumbled upon a fairyland but he wasn’t surprised to see the two pixies.
He was young, fearless and curious about the fairyland.
The pixies were also curious about him. They went up, greeted and approached him tentatively. When the pixies sensed that he wasn’t a threat, they started to play with him.
One of them wrapped herself around him shyly. The dreamer smiled and shook hands with her as a sign of goodwill.
The naive and romantic pixie fell in love with him. They whispered to each other and slow danced together. They were in love and did everything together.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning startled the pixie awake. She suddenly realized that humans and pixies could never be together. The music was fast and loud.
The other pixie wanted them to be together, so she blocked the lightning and told them to run away. Another bolt of lightning struck, and the pixie fell to the ground along with the sound of deafening thunder.
The young man in the dream pulled the other pixie to leave but he was stopped by another bolt of lightning. The pixie jumped up to protect the dreamer from the lightning.
With a miserable scream, the other pixie also fell to the ground.
The music was mixed with the cries of the young man, sounds of escaping birds and beasts and terrifying thunder.
Heavy rain came down in torrents. Pelt, pelt, pelt.
The dreamer knelt beside his lover, and the pixie gave him a poignant smile.
The moment the pixie’s hand fell on the ground, all the lights dimmed, and the music stopped. A few engrossed members of the audience stood up in shock.
“What’s going on? Is it a blackout?”
Before anyone could answer, the lights on stage lit up again.
There were no more pixies, just the young man sitting at a desk.
Birds were chirping outside the window and the young man was jolted awake. He staggered to his feet and realized that he had been dreaming.
He didn’t know if the dream was real, but his sadness was.
The music stopped and Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi came back on stage and bowed to the audience. Their performance was over.
Everyone was stunned momentarily until someone started clapping. The applause was thunderous. Some people even stood up excitedly.
Although the plot was short, with the music accompaniment, ups and downs, twists and turns, the audience understood their sad and beautiful story.
Fu Jin, who was sitting in the audience, was very surprised to see Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi’s performance.
It had only been a day, but the two of them managed to tell the story in such a touching way. He was proud of them, at the same time, very happy.
As expected, they didn’t let him down.
He stood up and clapped. Hearing the applause around him, it was obvious that the others liked their performance too.
Off stage, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi were also pleasantly surprised when they heard the applause. The two besties hugged each other excitedly.
They were still in high spirits when they got back to their seats. They were so excited that their hands shook.
“Fu Jin, we did quite well, right?”
Fu Jin restrained his expression and hummed. “Some of the movements were a little hasty but the storytelling was quite good. It deserves at least 60 or 70 points.”
The two of them calmed down. “Then we still need Fu Jin’s help. Give us some pointers on those movements we didn’t do well and we’ll correct them.”
Jiang Jingchen, who was walking next to them, raised his eyebrows when he heard Fu Jin’s words. He wasn’t exactly happy, but he was surprised by Fu Jin’s calmness.
Fu Jin had a calm and reserved air about him. He was indeed a lot more mature than his peers.
Ruan Qi suddenly held her chin, tilted her head to look at Song Zhou and let out a laugh.
Song Zhou felt uncomfortable under her gaze and asked, “What are you laughing about?”
Ruan Qi’s tone was playful as she replied, “I didn’t expect Old Song to look the part of a university student when he acts young.”
“… I, I’m not old!” Song Zhou gritted his teeth.
“True, you’re indeed not old. You’re just seven or eight years older than an average university student. Time and tide wait for no man.
Song Zhou was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This girl had to tease him about his age.
Tang Beibei thought of her husband when she heard this. She quickly hugged him and said fawningly, “Hubby, you are old, but 1 like you.”
Jiang Jingchen laughed in frustration. She could have kept quiet.
He pinched the back of her neck, like how he picked up Xiaoan, and asked in a low voice, “Am 1 old?”
“No, not old.”
Seeing Tang Beibei back down, Jiang Jingchen whispered in her ear, “I’ll show you when we get home if I’m old.”
Tang Beibei felt a little aggrieved when she thought about how he would teach her a lesson.
Finally, the teacher who organized the auditions went on stage to announce the results.
Listening to the teacher’s announcement, Ruan Qi nervously grabbed the hand of the person beside her. Song Zhou was stunned. He saw the woman’s bright eyes as she looked at the teacher on stage. She seemed to be looking for support, so she grabbed his hand tightly.
He couldn’t bear to push her away now.
Tang Beibei was also very nervous. She heard the teacher announce fifteen programs but still hadn’t heard her name. She closed her eyes and shrank into the man’s arms as if she was waiting for her sentence.
Jiang Jingchen grabbed her ponytail. “Obedient Beibei, your hair is long. Have you thought about cutting it short?”
“I don’t mind but I haven’t thought of cutting my hair short. Do you like me with long or short hair?”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled, took off his mask, and kissed her forehead. “I like it when your hair is down.”
Her hair was always down in bed.
She looked around. She couldn’t believe that he would flirt with her in front of so many people.
Jiang Jingchen was trying to distract her. He continued, “Obedient Beibei, do you have time to cut your hair today?”
“Sure, yes,”
Suddenly, the teacher on stage said, “The 19th program is from Class One of the Chinese Medicine Faculty. Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi’s ‘A Dream’.”
Tang Beibei’s eyes widened in surprise. “Hubby, did the teacher announce our names?”
“Yes, he did.”
The New Year’s Eve party was just a small school party, but it was so important to his wife. He was happy to support her.
Tang Beibei was so excited that she wanted to jump. She turned around to call Ruan Qi but was stunned when she saw Ruan Qi kissing Song Zhou.
When Ruan Qi heard the teacher say her name, she was very excited. She tugged at the man’s arm. “Oh, oh, we’ve been selected!”
She turned around to look at Song Zhou, wanting to share the good news with him but she saw the man looking back at her expressionlessly.
“Our dance has been selected. Why aren’t you happy?”
“I’m happy but please let go of my hand first.”
His palms were sweating profusely.
Ruan Qi felt really upset and indignant when she saw the man not giving her face despite such happy news . She held his face mischievously.
Song Zhou was so shocked when Ruan Qi kissed him suddenly that he didn’t know how to react.
After the kiss, Ruan Qi wiped her mouth smugly and said, “1 didn’t feel anything except softness. Mr. Song, you’re a man. How are your lips so soft?”
Song Zhou’s ears were so red that blood was about to drip off them, but this woman still didn’t know how to restrain herself.
He pushed her away and left.
Ruan Qi let go of him and pouted gloomily when she saw him walk away without a word.
She had already kissed him, yet he was still giving her a hard time. Seriously…
However, when she kissed him, her heart was beating very fast. She felt a little exhilarated.
Sensing Tang Beibei’s gaze, Ruan Qi cleared her throat and tried to cover up. “I was too excited that 1 couldn’t hold it in.”
Jiang Jingchen felt that his loyal servant was about to be stolen….
