Chapter 81 is cleared.
It's not just because he looks like Jiang Bai.
It was a sense of familiarity in expression, as if I had seen this face before and made the same expression.
"Where is it?"
Old Zhang racked his brains, countless images flashing through his mind, but he still couldn't grasp that key point.
"Oh dear, what am I thinking about!"
Old Zhang shook his head violently, trying to shake the strange feeling out of his mind.
"She's my own sister, of course I'd feel a connection!"
"Besides, she's a girl, and Jiang Bai is a real man. How can they be the same?"
"I'm really getting senile. Everyone looks like my student, and everyone seems familiar to me."
To divert attention, and also to verify Jiang Bai's words.
Old Zhang decided to stop looking at the girl in the front row.
His gaze swept past Jiang Bai in front of him and began searching among the row of black-clad foxes behind him.
He remembered Jiang Bai confidently declaring on his phone, "Teacher, I'll be on stage too! I'll be a backup dancer in the back!"
"Let me find where this kid is..."
There were five dancers in that row.
Three men and two women.
Because they were all wearing matching black suits, they all appeared to be quite tall and slender.
And they all wore fox masks on their faces.
This is...
It's all just copy and paste!
How do I identify this?
Old Zhang squinted, trying to judge by his body shape.
The one on the left?
He's too thin, like a bamboo pole.
The one in the middle?
The movements were a bit sleazy, and the way he swung the ball around looked like he was directing traffic.
The one on the right?
He seems to have a slight hunchback.
Those delivery guys couldn't dance at all; they just mechanically waved confetti balls, mainly to create a lively atmosphere.
Old Zhang became more and more confused as he looked at it.
For a moment, he really couldn't tell which one was Jiang Bai, a student in his class.
"Where is this kid hiding?"
Could it be...?
Old Zhang's gaze finally settled on the boy in the middle who was waving perfunctorily and standing in the most casual posture.
"Yes, that must be it!"
"His limbs are so uncoordinated, and he looks like he's trying to slack off. He reminds me a lot of Jiang Bai!"
"This kid's deliberately slacking off so as not to steal his sister's thunder!"
Old Zhang thought he had seen through everything and nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, now that he's on stage, I can rest assured."
Even if you're just a backup dancer, that counts as participation.
As long as Jiang Bai himself was present, Lao Zhang felt that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a counselor.
As for who exactly is in the center position...
Is she Jiang Bai's biological sister, or an outside helper he hired?
Who cares!
As long as the show is entertaining, that's all that matters!
He had no idea.
At this moment.
Jiang Bai, whom he had been searching for so desperately.
She was standing at the very front of the stage, wearing a short skirt, and giving him a wink.
..........
On stage, the spotlight shone intensely on my face.
While maintaining her sweet smile, Jiang Bai kept a close eye on the man with the Mediterranean hairstyle in the first row of the audience.
Old Zhang stared wide-eyed at the stage.
"Stay calm! Jiang Bai, you have to stay calm!"
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's Old Zhang who's embarrassed!"
Jiang Bai suppressed his panic and pushed his [Charm Value 11] to its limit.
Every movement was performed more gracefully and lightly than usual.
It's as if all the tension is being released as dopamine.
Meanwhile, the five delivery guys and girls standing behind him were a little confused.
When the music started, they were truly stunned.
Looking at the sea of heads below the stage and the glaring lights, several people felt their legs cramping.
"This...this is already starting?"
"Are we really just going to stand here and do nothing?"
"I should have applied to stay in the back office!"
But as the extremely catchy and cheerful melody of "Love You" began to play, coupled with the infectious silhouette of the "employer's sister" in front of him.
The string of "shame" in the hearts of several people snapped with a snap.
"Who cares!"
"They do things for money!"
"Shake it!"
Then, the style of the painting changed abruptly.
Five men in black, wearing eerie fox masks, began to dance wildly with colorful ribbon balls.
Some looked like they were directing traffic, some looked like they were doing calisthenics, and some looked like they were repelling mosquitoes.
Are the movements synchronized?
It's completely messy.
Is it coordinated?
It has absolutely nothing to do with it.
but!
That relaxed feeling of "I don't know what I'm doing but I'm happy" combined with the sweetheart idol's energetic singing voice created a wonderful chemical reaction!
A sense of beauty called "wild vitality" arises spontaneously!
The audience below the stage was amused, feeling that it was a kind of avant-garde art design, and the applause was louder and louder.
Soon, the song came to an end.
"I love you a little more~"
"I'd do it willingly~"
"I love you~"
Jiang Bai freezes.
The five assistants behind them, whoever seemed to be the leader, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and stretched all the ribbon balls in their hands toward the center.
The arrangement is well-organized from top to bottom.
They actually formed a colorful halo, surrounding Jiang Bai, who was in the center, like a star being the moon!
A perfect curtain call!
"Whoosh—!!!"
The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.
Even the counselor, Lao Zhang, who had been on tenterhooks the whole time, was stunned by this final move and subconsciously joined in the applause.
"call……"
When Jiang Bai saw Lao Zhang applauding, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
"Looks like they didn't recognize him!"
"We've passed this hurdle!"
……
Below the stage, in the leadership seats.
While clapping, Department Head Yan leaned close to Old Zhang's ear and commented:
"Old Zhang, this performance was definitely the grand finale!"
"The students in your class are top-notch in both singing and dancing!"
Director Yan changed the subject, pointing to the men in black behind him:
"These backup dancers... they're really just there for company."
"My limbs are too stiff, it's like I'm doing rehabilitation."
"However..."
Director Yan smiled:
"With the song 'Love You' to back it up, plus this girl's good looks, this is a case of 'the flaws don't detract from the overall beauty'! It's even a bit of a cute contrast!"
"Great! Really great!"
Hearing the department head repeatedly refer to her as "little girl," cold sweat involuntarily trickled down Old Zhang's forehead again.
He could only force a laugh and try to brush it off.
"Yes, yes, the director is right. The flaws don't overshadow the merits..."
Old Zhang is very nervous right now.
He's not afraid of anything else, except that he's afraid of saying too much and making a mistake!
The department head now considers this person a student of our school. In case he suddenly feels like going backstage to offer his regards, or if he decides to call the person over for a chat...
Wouldn't that expose the fact that "foreign players took the blame"?
Deceiving your superiors will be a serious offense!
"No, we can't stay here any longer!"
Old Zhang's eyes darted around, then his brows furrowed, and he stood up, feigning great anxiety.
"Um... Director, please keep an eye on it."
"I'll go check backstage."
"I just noticed that the male backup dancer behind me seems a bit unwell, so I'll go check on him to make sure nothing bad happens."
Director Yan nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead. Caring about students is the right thing to do."
Old Zhang felt like he had been granted a pardon. He quickly crouched down and crawled out of his seat, then hurried towards the backstage aisle.
Actually, he wanted to hurry backstage to warn Jiang Bai to take that "little sister" and leave quickly so they wouldn't run into the department head!
