Chapter 249

Lou Xu raised her phone, turned on the selfie function and slightly adjusted the angle.

Seeing Lou Xu’s phone screen, Tong Yan squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully before asking, “Hey, what’s wrong with my face? It’s very pale. My eyes look like they’re going to explode and are skinny.”

Lou Xu replied: “Your face is already very handsome.”

Lou Xu turned off the beauty camera and took pictures of them together. Looking at the picture after taking them, Lou Xu found that several classmates in the back row were also making V signs, amusing Lou Xu for a long time.

Xu Xinduo turned to look at Tong Yan who hadn’t worn the clothes needed for his group performance. She immediately asked: “When are you going to get ready for your group performance?”

Lou Xu was going to perform as well, but she had put on makeup and dress for the performance in advance. Tong Yan had obviously not done so.

Tong Yan said with a sigh: “Since too many people participated in the rehearsal, they all couldn’t fit on the stage. After some deliberation, some people were removed.”

Xu Xinduo noticed Tong Yan’s expression which clearly showed his unhappiness and subconsciously asked: “How many people have been removed?”

Tong Yan curled his lips and replied, “10 people were removed including me. The worst part was that they didn’t remove Yin Shaoshu from the group performance.”

Xu Xinduo was surprised for a moment: “Yin Shaoshu also participated?”

“Well, when I was in the rehearsal, he saw me while he was wandering around. He asked me what program I am participating in. I said I would take part in [Outlaws of the Marsh] and would perform the role of Wu Song. Yin Shaoshu also signed up and even declared that he would snatch my role. Two of us did a group performance together and he enumerated my shortcomings.”

(T/L: I am not sure whether the author forgot that she mentioned Lion Dance in the previous chapter.)

Xu Xinduo laughed after listening and did not stop laughing for a long time.

In the past, Tong Yan and Yin Shaoshu were two ferocious handsome boys. Now the more she looked at them, the more she felt that they were simply two fools.

Getting removed from the group dealt a great blow to Tong Yan. However, Xu Xinduo unscrupulously smiled as payback for how Tong Yan acted when she gave him a gift. Tong Yan couldn’t stop himself from glaring at her.

Xu Xinduo finally held back her smile and tried to comfort Tong Yan after calming down: “Just ignore them. They have no vision. They are afraid that you will steal the limelight during the performance. After all, you are well known in the school and they are just jealous of you.”

Tong Yan finally felt more comfortable and nodded: “Yes, that is the case. They must be jealous of my talent. He even blamed me that I can’t keep up with the rhythm.”

“Oh, you can’t keep up with the rhythm?”

“…”

“No, that shouldn’t be the case. You learn the piano while Yin Shaoshu learns tennis. He even joined later than you. You are not as good as him?”

Tong Yan’s expression became unsightly for a moment.

I’m not happy again.

Tong Yan took a cup of oolong tea from Wei Lan and deliberately put it in front of Xu Xinduo and said, “Do you see this cup of Oolong tea?”

Then, he inserted the straw in and took a sip: “Now, it’s gone. I drank it.”

Xu Xinduo couldn’t help scolding: “Childish.”

Then she took the oolong tea from Tong Yan’s hand. She didn’t mind that Tong Yan had also drunk from the same straw and continued to drink from it.

After seeing her for a long time, Tong Yan calmed down and sat obediently in his chair. Fortunately, the venue was dark enough, otherwise, his blushing would definitely be discovered.

Ah… It’s just an indirect kiss. It’s nothing great. Calm down… Calm down.
