Chapter 3377 We've Getted Too Big
The fun in English class continued, but now Xie Xiaoxu and Zhao Chuan were on the podium.
Xie Xiaoxu was holding a small ukulele in his arms, a prop he had brought from home. His classmates were familiar with the ukulele; Xie Xiaoxu had brought it to school many times to play songs for them.
Xie Xiaoxu is the class's arts and culture representative, and her specialty is singing.
At this moment, Xie Xiaoxu wore a deliberately profound and melancholic expression that seemed out of place for his age.
Zhao Chuan stood beside him, already in a dancing posture, his expression solemn, as if a sacred ceremony was about to take place.
These two are the class's live wires.
The English teacher looked at them with great interest and asked, "What's your topic, boys?"
Xie Xiaoxu took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Our topic is... a song! A very famous and touching song!"
The students in the audience were intrigued and craned their necks to look.
Xie Xiaoxu cleared his throat and deftly plucked the strings of the ukulele, producing several "ding-dong" sounds.
Then, he began his heartfelt singing in extremely exaggerated, heavily accented English:
“Yu Fen ah~ Yu Fen~ You make Biao Ge so sad~ So sad~”
(Yufen, Yufen, you've made Brother Biao so sad, so sad~)
"puff--!"
The moment the first note came out, Xiaobai almost spat out the water he had just drunk!
That tune! Those lyrics! Isn't this the square dance music she heard a while ago when she watched her uncle doing square dancing in Huangjia Village?!
How did Xie Xiaoxu manage to modify it like this? And it even uses "Biao Ge"?!
Zhao Chuan began to dance along to the "sad" melody. His dance movements were extremely abstract, sometimes resembling wiping a window, sometimes resembling Tai Chi, sometimes clutching his chest as if in pain, and sometimes opening his arms as if calling out. His expression was even more "heartbroken" than Xie Xiaoxu's.
"Your heart is like ice~ Cold like winter~" Xie Xiaoxu continued to "roar", plucking the ukulele strings as if they were about to break.
The ukulele is clearly an instrument for artistic and refreshing people, but Xie Xiaoxu is using it like an electric guitar!
My tears are like rain, falling down.
While "dancing," Zhao Chuan joined in the chorus with a sobbing tone, and the two coordinated perfectly.
Xie Xiaoxu's singing is alright, better than most ordinary people, but Zhao Chuan's singing can only be classified as ordinary. That howl he just made could have caused a pack of wolves to howl in the wild.
The classroom fell into a deathly silence at first, everyone stunned by this sudden "art form." Then, someone let out a "pfft," as if lighting a fuse, and the entire classroom was instantly engulfed in an explosion of laughter.
"Hahahahaha—!"
"My God! What is this?!"
"Who is Brother Biao? Who is Yu Fen? Hahahaha!"
"Xie Xiaoxu, you're so talented!"
"I've heard this song before, it's a square dance tune!"
……
The students laughed so hard they were doubled over, and even the English teacher on the podium completely gave up on controlling her expression, leaning on the podium and laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up, tears streaming down her face.
This is even more outrageous and comical than Xiaobai and Liuliu's "international awards ceremony" just now!
Xiaobai and Liuliu laughed so hard they slapped the table. Liuliu wiped away tears of laughter as she pointed at the stage and said, "Hahaha, Xiaobai, they're way better than us! Ours is called international style, theirs is called down-to-earth! It's so rustic, but I find it kind of funny!"
Xiao Bai said, "This is called being so unfashionable that it becomes trendy!"
Liuliu nodded in deep agreement; she really did suffer from her lack of education.
The two were shocked by Xie Xiaoxu and Zhao Chuan's "shocking" performance; in comparison, their performance was simply professional and elegant!
Xie Xiaoxu and Zhao Chuan became increasingly excited during their performance. Xie Xiaoxu even tried to stand on a stool and climb onto a table, but the English teacher stopped them in time.
Zhao Chuan then stepped down from the podium and started dancing in the classroom aisle, inviting everyone to join his square dance team!
But everyone was too embarrassed; no one had the thick skin to bring themselves to do it.
Even Xiaobai and Liuliu waved their hands in refusal, as their performances were professional and elegant, and they had to distance themselves from Xie Xiaoxu and Zhao Chuan.
Finally, Xie Xiaoxu and Zhao Chuan's performance ended successfully amidst the laughter of the entire class. The two bowed and left the stage amidst applause, whistles, and cheers, their faces filled with the pride of their accomplishment.
Indeed, the most important thing for a person is self-confidence! As long as you are confident, you will not feel embarrassed; it will always be others who feel embarrassed!
This English class is destined to become a cherished memory for the students of Class 1, Grade 3.
When the school bell rang in the afternoon, Xiaobai and Liuliu packed their schoolbags and walked out of the school together.
"Xiaobai, look, I told you! We performed so well today! The teacher praised us for our courage! Our English, after this practical test, is quite good!" Liuliu puffed out her chest and walked with a swagger.
Xiao Bai wholeheartedly agreed: "Exactly! Xie Xiaoxu and his group were really messing around, but at least we were seriously acting out a skit! So what if our pronunciation isn't perfect? As long as we dare to speak! The teacher said the most important thing is to dare to speak up!"
Just as the two were praising each other and feeling extremely good about themselves, Xi'er came hopping over like a happy little bird, carrying her schoolbag.
"Xiaobai, Liuliu, how was your performance today?" Xi'er asked in a clear voice.
The two boasted that they were the best performing team in the class, which earned them a lot of applause and laughter, combining artistic flair with entertainment!
Xi'er was happy for them. Xiaobai took out a candy from her schoolbag and handed it to her, saying, "You deserve half the credit for this medal. This is a reward for you. Don't tell anyone, or your sister will come after me."
Xi'er cannot be bribed, unless it's with sweets!
She has absolutely no resistance to sweets.
"Hiahiahia~~ I definitely won't tell! I'll eat it right now!"
She quickly peeled off the candy coating, popped the candy into her mouth, her eyes narrowed into slits from the sweetness, and she smiled broadly, looking cheerful.
As the three walked out of the school, they kept responding to the students who greeted them, many of whom they knew and many of whom they didn't.
"Little White, I have to tell you, I can't go to Little Red Horse Academy tonight," Xi'er suddenly said.
"Why?" Xiaobai stopped and asked.
Xi'er's eyes were still half-closed, immersed in the sweetness.
"It's Monday today. There's an English corner on Monday nights. My sister said she wants to go tonight, and I'm going to go with her. There are foreigners there, so we can practice our spoken English."
Xiaobai remembered, there was such a thing. She said "Oh," and didn't say anything more, but then she suddenly remembered something: an English corner? Talking to foreigners? She and Liuliu exchanged a glance; clearly, these two were a perfect match in terms of cleverness!
The strong confidence that the two had built up in class today was instantly ignited and swelled.
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up and she said, "Xiwawa, I want to go too! I feel like five minutes in class isn't enough to really practice! I want to go to the English corner and give it a try!"
Liuliu immediately raised her hand: "Me too! I've been to international film festivals, what's a little English corner to me? It's a perfect opportunity to show off my English skills! Let them see what international flair is all about!"
Xi'er hesitated for a moment: "But...it's full of college students, adults, and foreigners there, and they talk very fast..."
"What's there to be afraid of! We gave a successful performance in class today! The teacher praised us! So what if we're college students? So what if we're foreigners? Aren't we all just two eyes and a mouth? Just say it!" Xiaobai said with great pride.
Liu Liu chimed in, "Exactly! Don't worry, Xi'er, with me and Xiao Bai here, we'll definitely liven things up! We might even be able to teach those college students a couple of authentic 'Liu-style English' phrases!"
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, and knowing that her older sister was there, Xi'er happily agreed: "Great! Let's go together after dinner tonight!"
Liuliu immediately said to Xiaobai, "To save time, I won't be going home tonight. Xiaobai, how about you do me a favor?"
"How about showing some appreciation? Then please have dinner at my house." Xiaobai was quite savvy.
"Hehehe, this isn't a good idea~~"
"Shovel, don't mimic me!"
