"I need to go to the restroom!"
Bai Yan said in a deep voice, if he stayed here any longer, he would truly lose control of himself and turn into a beast!
Chen Jing blinked her cute big eyes, her beautiful eyes sowhat puzzled as she watched Bai Yan’s retreating figure, unaware of the deep, uncontrollable impulse he felt towards her.
After washing his face with cold water, Bai Yan regained his usual composure.
At 8 p.m., the second music and dance evening officially began.
Bai Yan and Chen Jing walked hand in hand to the front of the stage, their handso and beautiful appearance imdiately heated up the atmosphere.
Bai Yan and Chen Jing were both influential figures at Mo City University and also esteed by the international students from Hua Xia, continuous cheers and whistles from the students arose as Bai Yan began his opening speech with a slight smile.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Respected leaders."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "Beloved teachers."
Together they said, "Good evening, everyone!"
Bai Yan said, "As the year begins anew, so does everything else. Mo City University, with its long history, keeps progressing, sharing its glory..."
Both repeated it in Hua Xia language and also translated it into English, German, Hindi, and other languages to make it comprehensible to students of other nationalities.
The board mbers and leaders of Mo City sitting in front, all nodded and praised profusely, the mastery of multiple languages alone was enough to highlight Bai Yan’s scholarly prowess.
As Bai Yan was reading the opening speech with a smile, he was surprised to notice the figure of An Yan sitting at the very front!
Why did President An co too?
Bai Yan was puzzled, but it didn’t affect his speech.
An Yan smiled as she watched Bai Yan on stage, her beautiful eyes shimring with admiration and fascination.
Indeed, this young man looked quite handso in his outfit on stage today.
After the opening speech, the evening officially began.
Round after round, performances proceeded smoothly; solo dances by won, n’s choir, classic dramas from abroad, etc., each act elevating the atmosphere of the evening to a climax.
However, everyone was eagerly anticipating An Xiaowan’s appearance, even An Yan’s attendance was due to An Xiaowan.
Being one of the foreign board mbers of Mo City University and also for her sister, An Xiaowan, she took ti out of her busy schedule to attend the university’s anniversary celebration.
The stunning female president, her long beautiful legs casually crossed, An Yan sat diagonally in a high-backed chair, the black chair further accentuating her fair and smooth skin.
Her delicate and perfect figure, stunning beauty, smiling expression, and elegant posture made An Yan another focal point in the audience.
Several board mbers tried to strike up a conversation with An Yan, who invariably responded politely, neither too warm nor too aloof, amiable and leaving no room for criticism.
An Yan always maintained a formal deanor towards n other than Bai Yan.
As the evening’s acts continued, the ti for An Xiaowan’s key performance drew nearer.
Bai Yan and Chen Jing reported the second last performance on stage.
"Next, let’s enjoy a solo by a male student from Hua Xia!"
After announcing the program, Bai Yan and Chen Jing stepped down from the stage smiling.
"It’s bad, Brother Yan!"
Chen Yudong, panting, burst into the backstage area to find Bai Yan.
"What’s wrong?"
Bai Yan frowned, "Why are you in such a disheveled state? Take your ti and explain."
"I didn’t want to be this flustered either, but things just happened so suddenly!"
Chen Yudong grimaced, "Brother Yan, I just got news from the student council, the guy who was supposed to perform the second last solo can’t make it today, he’s been seriously injured in a fight this afternoon and is currently undergoing surgery in the hospital."
"What?"
Chen Jing gasped in shock, "What about the performance! We just announced that the next act is a male solo! It’s too late to change it to Xiaowan!"
"Yes, I’m also troubled."
Chen Yudong grimaced, "We surely can’t let the students from other schools witness a fiasco at Mo City University."
"Brother Yan, do you have any idea?"
Chen Yudong turned his gaze towards Bai Yan, seeking help.
"Why are you looking at ?"
Bai Yan walked over to a sofa to rest, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled casually: "Your brother Yan isn’t omnipotent; I’m at a loss with this sudden situation too."
"It’s not like there isn’t any solution at all."
Chen Jing pondered for a mont and said, "If we can find a replacent guy to perform the solo now, it should be fine, since we didn’t ntion the na of that guy just now. Finding soone to fill in should be feasible."
"That’s just find soone then."
Bai Yan said with a smile.
"But sister Chen Jing, almost all the Hua Xia male students at the whole school who can sing have already perford! We can’t find a suitable person right now!"
Chen Yudong sighed.
"There’s still one person who hasn’t perford yet!"
Chen Jing said with a smile, her expression carrying a hint of slyness like a little fox.
"Who?"
Bai Yan and Chen Yudong asked curiously.
"There, it’s our Mo City University’s leading figure, Brother Yan!"
Chen Jing cheerfully pointed her finger like a scallion at Bai Yan.
"What the heck?"
Bai Yan was shocked: "You want to go up and sing? No way, I’m not going."
"Great idea!"
Chen Yudong’s eyes lit up, agreeing: "Brother Yan is very popular at school and he’s a Hua Xia international student, his presence alone can definitely suppress the scene!"
"What kind of joke is this, asking to save the show? But I can’t sing!"
Bai Yan looked at the two with a mix of laughter and tears.
"Brother Yan~, you’re our only hope now, all the male students at our school who are good at singing have participated in this evening’s event, they absolutely can’t go on stage again! We’re really desperate, there’s no other way~ It’s all on you now!"
Chen Yudong walked up to Bai Yan making a pleading gesture.
"Scram! Quit acting all effeminate!"
Bai Yan growled, then said with a helpless face: "So to your eyes, I’m just here to make up the numbers, right?"
Chen Yudong chuckled: "Brother Yan, you can’t really say that. Even if you ss up, Sister-in-law Yan is still there, Goddess An can surely retrieve the face you’ve lost!"
"No way, I absolutely refuse to go up there and embarrass myself!"
Bai Yan flatly refused.
Making the Demon Lord go up and lose face?
Bai Yan feared he might end up going on a killing spree on the spot!
"Brother Yan, are you just going to watch our long-prepared evening show turn completely into a joke?"
Chen Yudong looked at Bai Yan pitifully: "Many students from other schools, well-known businessn, and important figures from the city are present, our school can’t afford to be embarrassed! Brother Yan, this is about collective honor!"
"Collective honor? What does that have to do with ?"
Bai Yan sneered.
"Brother Yan, didn’t you help our literature departnt win the basketball championship last ti? I know deep inside you must value this honor."
Chen Yudong whispered quietly.
"Last ti? That was a fluke."
Bai Yan said expressionlessly.
"But Brother Yan, even if not for the collective honor of Mo City University, please consider the honor of the Hua Xia international students... just now it was said it’d be a solo by a Hua Xia male student, we can’t go back on our words! This will affect how others see our collective of Hua Xia international students!"
"It’s just one song, it hardly amounts to affecting the honor of all Hua Xia international students, right?"
The three of them were discussing here and gradually attracted the attention of many backstage, with the news of a male solo performance needing ergency rescue spreading from one to ten and then from ten to a hundred.
Even many students in the outside venue got the news.
Suddenly the crowd was riled up; so malicious students among those from other schools were loudly heckling: "Let the host co out!"
"Yes! The host, co out and give us an explanation!"
"I think that Hua Xia male solo can stay out! Better save the embarrassnt!"
"How could a Hua Xia man possibly sing well? Definitely awful, we don’t want to listen! If you’re scared, then don’t go up!"
"What happened to the promised male solo? Are you going to sing or not? If not, let An Xiaowan perform!"
"Yes, we want to see An Xiaowan! Not so crappy male solo!"
"Are your Mo City University Hua Xia international students even competent? Isn’t it said there are a lot of you? How can such a minor event still lack people? I see, Hua Xia folks just like to boast, no real skills at all!"
"Let’s go! We don’t want to watch anymore! Mo City University has completely ssed up the event now!"
"No, it’s the Hua Xia international students who screwed up, other international students are fine; just this male solo performance had problems!"
Tens of thousands of non-school students in the venue were madly heckling, campus security and student council mbers were frantically maintaining order, the scene was very chaotic, and the shouting voices were extrely loud, all reaching the backstage of the evening show.
The school leaders wore extrely ugly expressions, the vice-chancellor was brimming with rage, instructing soone, he said coldly: "Send the student council president to the backstage to see! What exactly are Bai Yan and Chen Jing up to! - such a simple singing program, and it turned out like this!"
