Chapter 176: Steady

Chapter 176

In the evening, Wei Cheng brought two large boxes of mooncakes, one box for Xiao Qi, saying it was from the racecourse boss.

There were already mooncake coupons obtained by Mi'er from the student union in the dormitory, as well as the freshly made meat mooncakes unique to Fucheng sent by the driver of Gu Yunshu's parents. They were still hot when delivered. In addition to the mooncakes brought by Wei Cheng, there were piles of mooncakes in the dormitory.

Fortunately, pastries like mooncakes can still be kept quite well.

Everyone first ate the meat mooncakes sent from Gu Yunshu's family.

Gu Yunshu didn't like to eat meat, but her mother loved to eat this kind of mooncake, so she specially sent it over, probably because her mother thought you would like to eat it.

It was very fresh, the meat inside was fat, but crystal clear, not greasy at all, with both sweet and savory flavors, both quite tasty. When I first ate it, I felt the sweet one was delicious, but when I ate it later, the slightly salty one was more durable, but the slightly salty one had garlic flavor. Xiao Qi was worried about bad breath and didn't dare to eat too much.

The four girls in the dormitory just ate some together. Although none of them went home, eating mooncakes together in the dormitory was also a perfect Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone called home.

Xiao Qi had sent her military training clothes and mobile phone back home. Her parents had already received them. Now everyone having a mobile phone is quite fashionable.

It's just that the network at hometown is not good, otherwise they could have had video calls.

Sheng Juanhua originally didn't want to use a mobile phone. One mobile phone was enough for the couple. Paying fees for two mobile phones was too much. But nowadays, her husband's bamboo weaving business was unexpectedly getting better and better. Although there were others in the village doing bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, you wouldn't know without doing it yourself and having something to compare with. On the contrary, it highlighted Su Youfu's superior craftsmanship. Exquisite workmanship resulted in even better sales.

Su Youfu was very busy. Sheng Juanhua would answer calls for custom orders for bamboo wares. Although Sheng Juanhua was not well educated, she could remember customers' requirements and the like, and she spoke loudly and confidently, giving people a free and easy impression. She was also very careful in her work, so more people called her and both of them ended up using mobile phones.

Xiao Qi chatted with her parents for a while and heard that everything was fine at home, so she felt relieved.

After taking a bath at night, Xiao Qi borrowed Mi'er's makeup kit, and the four roommates in the dormitory went to the gym together in full force.

Xiao Qi checked the rented clothes and there was no problem. The hem had been neatly sewn in for an extra length last time by the shop owner. It was a simple alteration that could easily be let down again if needed for a taller person next time.

Next was the second contestant, a student.

It was a tall and fat boy who looked a bit clumsy and nervous. But he sang “The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau”, hitting very high notes at the start, with excellent timbre. But at the climax, probably from nervousness, his voice cracked a little, somewhat shrill. The earlier Xiao Qi wouldn’t have noticed, but now with her improved singing skills, she could clearly feel the obvious difference.

In the end, the judges gave their scores one by one, averaging out to 7.8 points.

Then came the third contestant, fourth contestant, scoring 7.9 points and 7.0 points respectively. It seemed the mentor teachers were scoring very cautiously.

The fifth contestant was Garen. He chose the Chinese song “A Fire in the Winter” and stunned the audience as soon as he appeared, wearing a dazzling sequined suit with vest and pants which went with his big beard, looking very handsome. And when he started singing in Chinese, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. Although his pronunciation was a bit vague, this song was too familiar. Garen wore shiny leather shoes, even singing and dancing at the same time, making a group of students scream. Many foreign teachers were also shouting “Garen! Garen! Garen!” there.

After listening to Garen finish singing, Xiao Qi went backstage to get ready. She was the 15th contestant. Although quite late, it was about time for her to go get her makeup done. With the student union status, Mi'er followed Xiao Qi to sneak backstage to carry the makeup kit for her.

Xiao Qi decided to do her own makeup. She had already submitted her music. The music club just needed to provide the basic accompaniment. Judging from the songs earlier, the musicians in the music club were very capable indeed, providing professional accompaniment.

She chose a long dress in an ash grey shade with light blue. The color seemed light when looking normally. But after seeing the stage lighting effects, it actually looked bright under the lights. This long dress had a silky feel to it. Under the lights the color looked deeper and more gorgeous.

When she was in the makeup area, Wu Xinyue was already backstage.

With Mi'er following Xiao Qi as a little attendant, her jaw practically dropped when seeing Wu Xinyue's outfit. Wu Xinyue had made herself up to look all fluffy, like either a rabbit or a fox, complete with a long tail, bunny ears, a pink furry one-piece micro dress and black over-the-knee boots. Her long black hair reached all the way to the hemline. The coquettish yet sexy look in this outfit could probably overwhelm most male classmates instantly.

Xiao Qi took a glance and also felt somewhat surprised. It was really...ahem...a bit too dreamy. The skirt seemed to be a little too short, she could see the underwear when sitting down, although Xiao Qi didn't do it on purpose.

However, it did look good, it's just that Wu Xinyue's face was slightly more mature. It would look even better if she appeared more childish and lively, but I don't know why, Wu Xinyue gave people the feeling that she was quite mature.

Xiao Qi only swept a glance without looking much. She put on her robe before starting to put on makeup, worrying that changing clothes after finishing makeup would ruin it.

The quality of Mei'er's makeup products felt somewhat average to Xiao Qi.

Wu Xinyue also saw Su Xiaoxiao wearing a long robe. She felt like an underdeveloped little boy...she became even more confident about herself, feeling that she would definitely rank among the top ten beauties tonight.
