Amid the applause and cheers from the audience, Lin Xiran joyfully and eagerly returned to Zhang Jingdong’s side.
"Dear, how did I dance just now?"
The dazzling Lin Xiran on the stage was now a bit anticipative but also somewhat careful.
Because in her heart, no matter how warm the audience’s applause and cheers were, they could never compare to a single comment from her own boyfriend.
Zhang Jingdong purposely frowned and then said, "I can only give you 90 points at most."
Lin Xiran instantly felt her heart tighten: "Where did those 10 points go? I will definitely improve on it after I get off stage."
Zhang Jingdong curled his lip: "Your dance performance itself deserves a full score, but because it was so good, you have once again aroused naked envy and jealousy from the boys at your school, and once again significantly increased the number of my rivals in love there, so I’m deducting 10 points. Do you accept that?"
Lin Xiran suddenly understood, then smiled brightly: "Alright, I accept, I accept. Dear, I’m sorry, I forgot about this!"
At this point, Zhang Jingdong finally smiled, wrapping his arm around Lin Xiran’s shoulders: "No worries. Keep it up next time. Who makes your man here like the feeling of being envied!"
Half an hour later, as the final act ended, the venue entered the most tense scoring phase.
Lin Xiran appeared calm and collected but was tightly holding Zhang Jingdong’s hand.
Zhang Jingdong took the opportunity to openly gaze at Shu Ran on stage for a while.
Shu Ran, in the end, while looking at Lin Xiran, gave Zhang Jingdong a meaningful glance.
Zhang Jingdong immediately withdrew his gaze and turned his head to reassure: "Don’t worry, I have a premonition that you’ll be first place!"
Lin Xiran tried to squeeze out a smile: "I believe you’re my lucky star."
Soon the female host took the results and returned to the center of the stage.
"Now I will announce the results of this performance report..."
"Third place goes to Classical Dance Class 1, second place to Ballet Dance Class 2, and first place to... Folk Dance Class 1!"
"Additionally, the third place in the individual excellence award goes to Xiao Kai from Classical Dance Class 1, second place to Chen Ying from Ballet Dance Class 2, and first place goes to... Lin Xiran from Folk Dance Class 1!"
"Congratulations to all, please have the representatives of the winning classes and individuals come on stage to receive your awards!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a huge round of applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
Lin Xiran first excitedly hugged Lin Xirui, and then turned her head and kissed Zhang Jingdong excitedly: "Dear, you really are my lucky star!"
The moment immediately caused another huge commotion in the venue.
At this time, Zhang Jingdong also let out a sigh of relief: "Only those with true talent are qualified to compete for the final bit of luck. Dear, you’re really amazing; I’m so proud of you!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiran instantly became completely happy: "Thank you, dear. I will definitely keep on striving!"
"I believe in you. Get on up there!"
Lin Xiran then quickly returned to the stage.
Subsequently, the vice-principal personally handed out the award certificates to the winning class representatives and individuals.
Zhang Jingdong watched intensely as Lin Xiran, now the most sparkling, dazzling, and pretty girl in the whole venue, felt gloriously reflected glory, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
Twenty minutes later, as the vice-principal’s speech came to an end, this performance report was brought to a successful close.
The audience members began to leave one after another.
Zhang Jingdong and the others waited another five minutes before leaving the auditorium.
While waiting for the elevator, Zhang Jingdong inadvertently turned his head and surprisingly saw Shu Ran and another female teacher coming towards him!
He was stunned for a moment and then instantly regained his composure.
Shu Ran also saw Zhang Jingdong; her originally calm and beautiful face blushed in an instant, even her footsteps seemed a bit flustered.
Shen Xu, who had never seen Shu Ran , quickly remembered her dizziness and asked, "What’s wrong, is your head hurting again?"
Shu Ran had no choice but to go along with it: "Um... a little."
At this time, Lin Xiran noticed Shu Ran through Zhang Jingdong’s unusual behavior and hurriedly stepped forward: "Teacher Shu!"
Shu Ran immediately recovered her dignity and elegance from the class: "Ranran, you did well today, I knew you could do it!"
"Teacher Shu, it’s all thanks to your teaching, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have performed so well, thank you!"
Shu Ran tried not to look at the daring and ardent gaze behind Lin Xiran.
"The most important thing is still your own effort. Among all the students in the class, to be honest, when you first came, your talent and level were not the best."
"But after a year of learning, you are now almost the best in the whole institute both in dance skills and performance. So you must cherish your current results and keep on trying to achieve a perfect outcome when you graduate!"
Lin Xiran sincerely responded: "Don’t worry, I will definitely stay focused and give it my all, striving not to let you down."
Shu Ran nodded with satisfaction and then glanced at Lin Xirui next to her, curiously asking: "She looks so much like you, are you sisters?"
Lin Xiran immediately introduced: "She’s my older sister, we’re twins."
Shu Ran glanced at Lin Xirui again and couldn’t help but exclaim: "No wonder you two look so alike, it’s so rare... Is your sister also at our school?"
"My sister is at the normal university, she’s studying fashion design."
"Oh... I see, that’s pretty similar, both of you are studying the arts!"
