Chapter 715: Chapter 715 You Are Really Great Chapter 715: Chapter 715 You Are Really Great The counselor shook his head after checking, “She definitely can’t go on stage in this state tonight; the act will probably have to be scrapped.”
Tong Yao burst into tears at once. She had prepared for so long, but now she had no other options.
The class monitor suggested, “How about we change the act? Let’s see if anyone has a signature song they can perform instead.”
Yan Ruyue glanced at the still weeping Tong Yao, “The acts were submitted in advance, and the student council has already posted the list of performances; changing the song at the last minute might not be a great idea.”
The class monitor let out a long sigh, “Let’s ask around and see who can sing this song in full.”
The deputy class leader came back from the registration desk and reported, “No one dares to take it over; everyone’s afraid they’ll mess it up.”
As there were only three acts left before Tong Yao’s, both the counselor and the class committee members were getting anxious. Luo Qiao asked, “Do you have the lyrics to this song?”
Tong Yao handed over her sheet of paper like it was a lifeline. It contained not only the lyrics but also the musical score.
Luo Qiao quickly memorized the lyrics. She had heard the song in her previous life, but she couldn’t remember some of the words. After reading through the musical score a few times and humming softly to herself, she got the hang of it.
By the time she was familiar with it, it was the act before Tong Yao’s turn. Luo Qiao felt there shouldn’t be a big issue, so she looked at Yan Ruyue, “Tell the host to change the name of the performer.
Just to be clear, I don’t want trouble later. If I sing as Tong Yao today, there will be many problems to follow, so it’s necessary to change the performer’s name for today’s act.”
She was willing to do a good deed, but if doing so would lead to trouble, she wasn’t pleased at all.
She was busy enough as it was and didn’t have the time to deal with those issues.
Although Tong Yao was upset, she also understood that if Luo Qiao didn’t step in, not only would the class honor be gone, but she might also be seen as the culprit. It was just her bad luck.
So the host returned to the stage, and the original performer Tong Yao was replaced by Luo Qiao, with the program unchanged.
Luo Qiao was wearing a set of sportswear that she had designed and had someone make. It was a particularly youthful and bright color combination. Paired with the spontaneous movements she added, it really made her performance stand out along with the song.
Therefore, it could be inferred from the applause that the two acts from Class 1 of Clinical Medicine would definitely score well.
As soon as Luo Qiao left the stage, Yan Ruyue rushed over and hugged her, “Luo Qiao, you were absolutely amazing.”
Teacher Zhang, the counselor, also gave Luo Qiao a thumbs up, thinking to himself that this young lady was truly remarkable, excelling not only in her studies but in other areas as well.
Tong Yao walked over and sincerely said, “You were incredible, thank you, and congratulations to you.”
Everyone knew the meaning behind her words. Luo Qiao said, “There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future. Remember the lesson this time, and make sure to balance work and rest from now on. Keep it up!”
Through this incident, Tong Yao realized there are always greater heights to reach, and it humbled some of her pride.
Once the event was over, Luo Qiao headed straight out of the school gate and saw the person waiting outside, smiling, “How long have you been waiting?”
Lu Yichen smoothed her hair for her, “Not long; what are your plans for the holiday tomorrow?”
Today, Lu Yichen had come by bicycle. Luo Qiao sat on the back seat, her hand holding onto his waist. After they left the school gates, she leaned against Lu Yichen’s back, “Tomorrow we have to go to the house my third brother bought; they’re moving in after the National Day holiday, and tomorrow the family is going there to warm up the house.”
Speaking of her third brother Luo Siyan, his wedding was just as grand as their Big Brother’s in these times. They had a total of four wedding cars, one sedan, two jeeps, and a small truck.
They arrived with great fanfare at Zhou Xiaomin’s family home in the city, leaving Zhou Xiaomin’s classmates and colleagues green with envy. As tall and upright as Luo Siyan was, aside from being a bit dark-skinned, he was a real handsome man, earning Zhou Xiaomin praise from friends and family attending the wedding for her good eye.
The Luo Family was generous, and the Zhou Family didn’t fall short either. The dowry was quite substantial; firstly, because the Zhou Family had few children—apart from a son serving in the military in the south, there was only Zhou Xiaomin as their precious daughter raised with care.
Secondly, Zhou Xiaomin had started working early, and she had been saving her wages herself for the past two years, so when it came to buying wedding items, she didn’t skimp—she bought the best of everything.
Moreover, Zhou Family’s relatives also felt that, with many sons in the Luo Family, there would inevitably be comparisons between the sisters-in-law, so they made sure that her dowry was somewhat more substantial than that of the elder sister-in-law Woo Yunmei, albeit within reason.
Their newly purchased house was nice, but since it was acquired from someone else, it had undergone renovation. They agreed to go over the next evening to warm up the pot for them.
Lu Yichen took Luo Qiao’s hand that was around his waist, “I’ll come over tomorrow too.”
Luo Qiao spoke softly, “Then come over and pick me up tomorrow morning; I need to go to the department store to buy them gifts.”
