They entered smoothly. The auditorium was already quite full.
The two found a spot to sit down at random, drank their milk tea, and waited for the show to start.
The host spoke, followed by the school leadership.
It was pretty much the sa as the welco party organized by their departnt last year; even the outfits of the male and female hosts were almost the sa.
Then the program began.
There were raffles in between.
Unexpectedly, the acts were quite entertaining.
Perhaps everyone had developed so skills during the pandemic—not just in baking bread and cakes, but also in the arts. For example, there were square dances on the sports field lawn every evening, and the skilled mbers of the Street Dance Club often had dance-offs with the professional dance students, which probably had a positive effect on organizing the welco party.
"That dance isn’t good; it’s all about showing off legs, and they’re not even as long as Qian Qian’s... What’s next?"
"It’s..."
Zhou Li squinted at the display screen beside the podium. It was a bit far, so even though his vision was good, the text was still sowhat blurry.
The letters were just too small.
At this point, Brother Nan had already gotten a program from the classmates in the front row and waved his hand, saying, "No need to look, I’ve got it... The next one seems to be a stand-up cody act, Liu Xiu, sharing a na with an emperor from the Han Dynasty. After that is a magic show, Xie Minqing, Xie Minqing..."
Brother Nan repeated the na, a flicker of recognition stirring within him. "Why does this na seem so familiar?"
"Yes."
"Right?"
The stand-up cody began.
This was sothing the computer science students excelled at. Jokes about programrs, fixing computers, hair, and the like were plentiful. The perforr did quite well, and the act was very entertaining.
Brother Nan laughed until his face hurt.
Even Zhou Li couldn’t help but crack a smile.
Next up was the magic show.
Seeing the slightly overweight girl take the stage, Brother Nan had a sudden realization. Isn’t this the new mber of my Probability Society? She even changed her na!
Brother Nan beca serious, intently focusing on the stage.
Xiao Hua’s performance was unexpectedly brilliant. If the previous stand-up cody act was already near a professional level, then Xiao Hua’s magic could easily outshine many professional magicians, even those who had perford on the Spring Festival Gala.
Her main performances were card magic and levitation tricks.
Card magic is common, but making it spectacular is not easy.
Most people are familiar with the routines of common card tricks—so much so that after watching them, so can pick out the rules or flaws in the technique. It’s rare to find card magic that makes one think, ’This is impossible,’ or ’There’s no way they could do that,’ and this rarity has increased with the rise of reveal videos on short-video platforms and advancents in recording technology.
Even the magic on the Spring Festival Gala could reveal its flaws when slowed down ten or even fifty tis.
But Xiao Hua’s tricks revealed nothing, not even when slowed down a thousand tis.
Levitation tricks are less common than card magic. Most levitation acts seen on the street are similar, and it’s easy to guess how they’re done.
Xiao Hua, however, was astonishingly good—
She managed to levitate not just her own props, but also the cell phones of the school leadership in the audience. She even dared to go into the audience, pick a man at random, allow him to be thoroughly inspected, and then make his hat float above her palm.
Nearly all the spectators were stunned by this magic performance, which rivaled those seen live at the Spring Festival Gala. Those who had been deeply involved in the act, in particular, wore expressions of utter disbelief.
So of the girls were even startled and cried out in amazent.
Then ca thunderous applause.
Only Zhou Li remained unflustered, even feeling a bit sorry for the Little Demons scurrying around to assist her.
