Chapter IV

Qiao Jinghui was notified by the minister to go to the rehearsal of the art gala program of the Ministry of Literature and Art, because she was the only woman in the entire Ministry of Science and Technology except for Minister Li, and the boys all pushed it off for various reasons. Minister Li can understand them very well, because this performance is singing and dancing, in terms of singing, these technical nerds don't have such a good voice to sing high notes, and in terms of dance, these technical nerds don't have such good body coordination.

So Qiao Jinghui went to the place designated by the Ministry of Literature and Art to participate in the rehearsal alone.

After arriving, she learned that this show was not produced by their college alone, but with another college, all the literature and art departments could be on, and the rest would be filled by talents from other departments of the student union.

Qiao Jinghui is used to being punctual, often preferring to arrive early rather than be late, even if no one will reprimand her for being late. It's just that most of the other people don't think like her, every time Qiao Jinghui arrives first, and the set time has passed for more than ten minutes, and the others have arrived.

The freshman year required to run morning exercises, Qiao Jinghui got up at half past six every day, and began to call her three roommates who were still sleeping as soon as she got up, and when she finished dressing, washing, and wiping her face, the roommates were still slowly brushing their teeth, putting on shoes, wearing coats, and wiping their faces. The roll call was at 10 p.m., and they usually waited until after 7 a.m. before going out of the dormitory.

In order not to be late, Qiao Jinghui would do her own thing while constantly reminding them, "Hey, it's past 6:40, get up quickly", "It's past 6:50", "It's almost 7:00, I'm going to be late", "Hurry up"...... This time of day is when Qiao Jinghui talks the most.

On the first day of morning exercises, Su Ling saw her urging skills and said, "I saw the word 'anxious' in your eyes. ”

Qiao Jinghui said: "Yes, if you are late, I will let you see the words 'it's over'." ”

Su Ling trembled, leaned on Xiao Qi's back and said, "Xiao Qi, I was threatened!" ”

Xiaoqi was busy brushing her teeth, and she didn't have time to talk to her, and she couldn't hear clearly, so Su Ling ran to pull the arm of Hua Wen, who had an iceberg temperament, and Hua Wen was wiping her face, and she didn't look at her and said, "Go wash your face, I don't want to be deducted points for being late." ”

Su Ling had no choice but to wash his face obediently.

At the first rehearsal, Qiao Jinghui was dragged by the Minister of Literature and Art to sing with a girl who had learned. Ancestor. Ying sang like that, she was just humming, but she herself had never sung with a sharp voice like that, so as soon as she opened her mouth, it was the way of pop music.

The little teacher stopped her and told her how to sing, Qiao Jinghui nodded and reluctantly complied, but she really felt that it was difficult for her to sing like this!

There are about ten girls who sing, and only one of these people has learned that kind of singing, and everyone follows her, but the effect on the first day is really unbearable. Everyone was in contact with it for the first time, and they were all overwhelmed by their weirdness, singing and laughing, Qiao Jinghui didn't know those girls and didn't want to know more, so she sang her own and learned very seriously.

And the price of being so serious is that after singing, my voice completely changes, and when I speak, some words can't be pronounced through my voice, and I don't want to talk to anyone at all after returning to the dormitory, so I can only express my opinions through my eyes, body movements, and writing.

Su Ling said: "Go buy a box of watermelon cream tomorrow, the golden voice is better." ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded.

Xiaoqi said, "Remember to bring a bottle of water next time to moisten your throat." ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded.

Hua Wen said: "You are the only one in your department, so do you know anyone else?" ”

Qiao Jinghui shook her head.

Hua Wen: "I'll go with you next time." ”

Qiao Jinghui shook her head and wrote on the paper, "You have a name for your evening self-study, and I was asked for leave of absence." Hua Wen was silent, this is also true, that counselor is either addicted to being a teacher, or menopause has arrived thirty years early, and a late self-study is not a name, and he is not allowed to leave after the roll call, and he must study in the self-study room.

In the second rehearsal, Qiao Jinghui found that she had reached ten minutes, and she hadn't seen anyone else, and she was about to go into a classroom and sit down when she heard someone calling.

"Hey, why haven't you arrived yet, I've been waiting for a long time, and there's no one here, so hurry up!"

Qiao Jinghui walked in that direction, she was a very beautiful girl, different from Hua Wen's beauty, this girl's face was a bit like that of Xinjiang, but the accent was local.

When the girl saw her, she stood up and said, "Hey, are you here to rehearse?" ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded, and the girl said, "You sit down first, and the others will come over later." ”

Qiao Jinghui sat down next to her, a girl taller than her, and then learned that she was the head of the literature and art department of another college that co-produced a show with their college. Qiao Jinghui thought to herself, such a tall and thin, beautiful and temperamental girl should be at the goddess level. Sure enough, a girl who sang together later said: "Her name is Xu Keyi, she is our professional class guide, and the boys and girls in the class regard her as a goddess!" ”

The class instructors are all sophomore seniors, and they don't usually have much work, so they just give them a chance to practice. However, being able to stand out from so many people and be a work guide shows that he is also a very good person!

In the following rehearsals, Qiao Jinghui was still more serious than anyone else, trying to find the intonation and sing each note in place, but because she had not received professional training and her natural voice conditions generally had an insurmountable gap. And the chasm that Qiao Jinghui encountered was an ocean for other girls, so Xu Keyi arranged for the only girl who had ever learned to sing that sentence.

Qiao Jinghui's hard work finally paid off, except for the girl she had learned, she was the best singer present, so Xu Keyi asked her to bring other girls to sing.

A month later, the school's theatrical performances began, with their program in the middle of the line, and at least two rehearsals had to take place in the afternoon of the performance, and the rehearsals had to be dressed in costumes and makeup. The costumes have been rented a long time ago, the boys are gray Eighth Route Army costumes, the singing girls are white silk floor-length skirts, with a rose-red belt around the waist, Qiao Jinghui is most dissatisfied with the upper body of the skirt, she wants to show her chest forward, and she has to show her back back, and there is a tattoo under her left shoulder, which is always bad for people to see, but it is not her style to show her breasts, so tangled.

Qiao Jinghui's whole expression was distorted when she got the performance costume at that time, since graduating from kindergarten, she hadn't worn a skirt for many years, and it was still so exposed. Su Ling strongly asked her to wear it for them to see, so Qiao Jinghui took off her shirt and put on her skirt, Su Ling said, "Why do you only take off your shirt?" ”

Qiao Jinghui glared at her: "Senior sister said that pants can be worn, anyway, this skirt has covered all the shoes." ”

Xiaoqi pointed to her back and said, "What about your tattoo?" ”

Qiao Jinghui sighed, she was also distressed by this question. Hua Wen thought for a moment, took out a band-aid from the box on her desk and scratched it on her back, then tore off the paper and pasted it on the exposed tattoo.

Qiao Jinghui tried hard to see her back in the mirror, and hesitated: "Is this okay?" ”

Hua Wen said: "Okay, anyway, only a section is exposed, so just cover your attention and don't move." ”

Xiaoqi said: "Otherwise, you can post a few more photos to cover all the tattoos, so as not to accidentally reveal them." ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded, what a bunch of witty roommates.

So on the day of the performance, Xu Keyi asked her, "What's wrong with your back?" ”

Qiao Jinghui took out the rhetoric that had been prepared early in the morning: "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally hung it on the wall when I fell, and it will be fine in two days." ”

Before the rehearsal, she had to put on makeup, Xu Keyi asked if anyone would put on makeup, Qiao Jinghui said that she wouldn't be able to do it in a modest way, so Xu Keyi found her roommates to put on makeup for everyone. According to the requirements, it is stage makeup, blush, lips, eye shadow and everything have to stand out terriblely, after putting on makeup, Qiao Jinghui took out her mobile phone and glanced at herself, it is indeed terrifying!

I asked the makeup guy for some BB cream, re-wiped the areas they didn't rub and wiped evenly, and then used a tissue to lighten the sea blue eyeshadow and crimson blush, which looked a little more pleasing to the eye.

When she was in high school, she also attended a theatrical evening and wore stage makeup, but at that time it was not as scary as it is now, and sure enough, as Xu Keyi said: "They are amateurs, but they just came to help out in friendship." ”

During breakfast, Zhou Qin talked about the literary evening: "Do you want to go to the literary evening at half past seven tonight?" ”

Cai Hefeng shook his head: "What do you see?" ”

Zhou Qin: "There are beautiful women! ”

Cai Hefeng glanced at him and shook his head, and Zhou Qin said again: "Keyi's show, maybe she will also play?" ”

Cai Hefeng buried his head in eating and still ignored him.

In the afternoon, Cai Hefeng came out of the laboratory and was ready to go back to the dormitory to rest after having a meal in the second canteen, but passing by the gymnasium on the way, he saw waves of men and women dressed "weird" and exaggerated makeup coming out of it.

But he saw a seemingly familiar figure in the crowd, a white dress, red lips and a blue sports coat, and the most eye-catching thing was that she was the only one among the girls with short hair like a boy, and she participated in a theatrical performance?

Although it was a question, Cai Hefeng had already confirmed his guess in his heart, he walked behind them, took out his mobile phone to call Zhou Qin, and asked: "How to get the ticket for the literary evening?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, "Just go to the school's official website and log in to the student number, but I don't know if there are any tickets now." ”

"You can help me take a look now."

"Hey, why do you want to go to the gala? Didn't you say you wouldn't go in the morning? Zhou Qin thought, could it be that Xu Keyi really wanted to play, so he had to get the ticket.

Cai Hefeng saw that he was about to eat in the cafeteria, and the cafeteria was not only noisy but also had a poor signal so bad that he couldn't hear it clearly when he called, so he quickly said: "If you have a ticket, you can get one for me, and if you don't have it, you have to help me get one." "Hang up immediately.

Zhou Qin listened to the busy sound of "toot-to-doo-", and wanted to cry without tears, what kind of roommate is this! What does it mean to call him so justifiably?! But I still went to the school's official website to help him see it, ah, this year's tickets are gone, and there are not even tickets sold at a high price, Zhou Qin suddenly remembered that the vice president of the student union said that he helped him grab a ticket, originally he wanted to see this year's little beauty, alas, forget it, forget it for Cai Hefeng, for this pair of handsome men and beautiful women to have the opportunity to get back together, he really "paid a lot"!

"It's really cheap, you kid, why don't you just treat me to a meal!" Zhou Qin thought to himself, if he knew that Cai Hefeng didn't want this ticket to see Xu Keyi, let alone to reconcile with her, I don't know if Zhou Qin would go berserk.

Cai Hefeng casually found a convenient position to watch the stage and sat down, waited for half an hour, and at half past seven, the theatrical evening officially began.

The lights of the whole audience dimmed, and only the light of the mobile phone screen reflected on the faces of everyone in the audience could be seen, and Cai Hefeng's mobile phone suddenly rang, and at first glance, it was Zhou Qin.

Zhou Qin said: "I asked Keyi, her program is relatively late, and now on the other side of the audience, there are all performers. ”

Cai Hefeng said: "Why are you asking this? Of course, he saw the performers over there early in the morning, because the pile of white dresses, red lips and gray Eighth Route Army costumes were too eye-catching.

Zhou Qin: "There will be a group photo after all the performances are over, don't leave too early." ”

Cai Hefeng: "Oh. ”

Zhou Qin hung up the phone and kept saying, why doesn't this kid care about his feelings at all? He had to urge him. (Cai Hefeng: Who wants you to urge, take care of yourself, you don't even have a girlfriend until now.) )

Perhaps influenced by the people around her, Cai Hefeng also raised her mobile phone and quietly took a photo towards the performer, she leaned on the railing with a serious expression, and the mobile phone was held straight and motionless, presumably preparing for the video...... Hehe, kind of interesting.

I've been studying at this school for more than two years, and I've never come to see a literary evening, Cai Hefeng pushed the experiment until midnight today, and the school's sound and on-site lighting are pretty good, at least much better than when he was in high school. As soon as the name of the theme of this time lit up on the screen, Cai Hefeng heard someone calling him.

Turning his head to look, it turned out to be someone he knew: "You also came to see the party?" ”

Hua Wen nodded, she wondered how he would come to see this, it should be a waste of time for their tech nerds, unless there was someone with a good relationship who wanted to perform for them to watch. A week ago, Clover's admission results came out, and Hua Wen successfully entered it for three reasons: Clover's requirements for girls are only administrators, just like celebrities' agents don't need too much professional technology; Hua Wen is the most beautiful among the girls who signed up; In addition to her appearance, Hua Wen's computer skills are also higher than those of other girls.

"My friend has a show and asked me to take pictures of her so that I can pass it on to her parents."

"What show?"

"Singing and dancing, she is one of the choruses."

"Oh." Cai Hefeng didn't ask again, maybe the friend in Hua Wen's mouth was one of the group of girls led by Xu Keyi, but he was not interested in her friends, so there was no need to ask so much.

Hua Wen sat down next to him, turned on her phone to watch herself, she wasn't interested in other programs, just wait for Qiao Jinghui to come out and watch it. Although she said before that she liked Cai Hefeng a lot, she felt that Cai Hefeng was not interested in her, so she gave up. She didn't want to casually pursue someone who didn't like her, not to mention that she didn't like Cai Hefeng so much, she just thought he was not bad.

The host is on the stage, a man and a woman are wearing dresses, in Cai Hefeng's opinion, the role of these two people is just to report the name of the program, unlike many senior TV hosts who say things that have both connotation and attention. He watched the news on the Internet for a while, and more than 40 minutes passed before he finally saw the group of white dresses, red lips and gray Eighth Route Army on stage.

The short hair is very recognizable standing in the first row, she is of average height, and she must be half a head shorter than Xu Keyi, but her figure is quite well-proportioned. But it must be the fault of the arranger, it's obviously a chorus, but I can only hear the voice of the lead singer in front of me throughout the whole process, and the position of those microphones is not good, and the voice of the chorus behind is not recorded at all! It's a pity, but looking at her expression, she sings very seriously!

A flash suddenly lit up next to him, Cai Hefeng turned to look at it, and said in surprise: "You also brought a camera!" ”

Hua Wen nodded and said, "The camera is really much better than the mobile phone." Then he pointed the camera at Qiao Jinghui and took another photo.

Cai Hefeng remembered his previous random photo, and the effect must not be much better...... But it seems that her friend is indeed in the same show as the girl.

He looked carefully at the people in the stands, could it be that the friend Hua Wen said was her? So he asked, "How many friends do you have performing in it?" ”

Hua Wen gave him a strange look and replied, "Just one, female." ”

Cai Hefeng didn't ask again, it seemed that it should be the girl, but he didn't know her name yet, but he didn't plan to ask specifically, because he was just interested in her, and he didn't want to chase her yet.

At about nine o'clock, the party ended, and all the performers stood up for a curtain call, Hua Wen took the opportunity to take another photo, but Qiao Jinghui stood next to the curtain, and if she deviated a little further, she would be blocked by the cloth. Then most of the audience left, Hua Wen was still sitting in the audience, and seeing that Cai Hefeng hadn't left yet, she asked, "Why don't you leave?" The show is over. ”

Cai Hefeng paused for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is one of the leaders of a certain program, and I am waiting for her. "You don't blush when you lie, even though half of what he says is true.

Hua Wen nodded and said, "Wait for them to take pictures, I'll go first. I'm waiting for her, bye-bye! ”

Cai Hefeng waved goodbye to her, and the girl really came out, and a group of them all smiled and took pictures, he thought, she looked good when she smiled. Then she went post. Tai, Cai Hefeng smiled, got up and left. He didn't notice that someone in the crowd who was also taking pictures was staring at him.

Hua Wen is behind. After waiting in the corridor of the platform for a while, I saw Qiao Jinghui, Qiao Jinghui walked over quickly and said with a smile: "I'll go and change my clothes first, you wait for me for a while." ”

Hua Wen nodded, and when Qiao Jinghui came out, she said, "What should you do with this makeup?" ”

Qiao Jinghui said embarrassedly: "No way, I can't unload it now, so I can only wait until I go back to the dormitory." "It looks weird, but now there is neither makeup remover nor a handkerchief to wipe your face, and it takes a lot of time to remove such heavy makeup, so the gymnasium should be closed later, so I have to wait until I go back to the dormitory. The strange eyes of passers-by should not have seen it!

On the way, Hua Wen took out the photos to show her, Qiao Jinghui looked at them one by one, and commented from time to time: "This is when I just came out, you see, I haven't even stood on the spot." ”

"Isn't my short hair too conspicuous? At the time, I thought that I should wear a wig, but my senior sister said that long hair should be tied up, and I thought that even if I wore a wig, I would not be able to tie it up. ”

"This lip is so red, I took my makeup to dinner in the afternoon, and ate almost the lipstick, but I made it up again."

"What do you think of what it looks like in the photos?"

Hua Wen said: "It's not bad, at least you can see that it's you." ”

Qiao Jinghui smiled: "By the way, aren't you going to do an experiment with the seniors tonight?" ”

Hua Wen shrugged: "Zhou Qin said that there was something wrong, and he pushed it to the middle of the night, saying that I didn't have to go over." ”

"It's okay, girls just don't stay up late, so as not to damage their skin."

Hua Wen stared at her: "The light will say that we don't have to stay up until twelve o'clock every day before going to sleep." ”

Qiao Jinghui snorted: "When people are old, they are in good spirits at night!" ”

Hua Wen "poof-" smiled, Qiao Jinghui often said that she was old or something, in fact, Xiaoqi was the biggest one in the bedroom, but she had experienced some things before, so she often thought a lot, and later became a person who was very emotional and sensible and had a very mature attitude towards life.

"Hey, let me ask you, who's the guy in charge of your show?"

Qiao Jinghui replied: "There are several, basically as long as the minister of the Ministry of Literature and Art is in charge, our program is a combination of two colleges." ”

Hua Wen asked again: "Then, are there any girls in it?" ”

"Yes, the deputy director of the Literature and Art Department of our college and the head of the Literature and Art Department of another college are both girls."

"Really? When you took a group photo just now, how did I see that there was only one woman besides the people you performed? ”

Qiao Jinghui couldn't help but be embarrassed: "There is a short person, curly hair, and glasses, that is the deputy director of the Literature and Art Department of our college, but he is dressed as a little masculine, but he is actually a girl." ”

Hua Wen: "More manly than you." ”

Qiao Jinghui: "......"

Hua Wen: "Your face is still a girl's face, and you also have breasts, although it is very small, but not only does it not have breasts, but it doesn't look like a girl." ”

Qiao Jinghui: "......" You are enough, are you praising her? How not like it.

Hua Wen: "It seems that it's another girl, it turns out that she is still the head of the literature and art department of another college." ”

Qiao Jinghui: "What are you asking all this for?" ”

Hua Wen: "Oh, I sat down with Cai Hefeng to watch the show, and he said that he had a friend who was in charge of a certain show, so he came to see the show. ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded, it turned out that he came to see the performance, and it turned out that he was sitting with Hua Wen.

Hua Wen continued: "When you took a group photo before, I saw that one of you had a girl staring at him all the time, and he also looked at your position. ”

Qiao Jinghui said "um", it turned out to be a female friend, maybe the two of them may have the meaning of being together, but this is not what she should care about, this should be Hua Wen's concern.

Hua Wen: "It turns out that he is waiting for that girl, what is her name?" ”

"Xu Keyi." Qiao Jinghui thought, these two are both beautiful and excellent, although Hua Wen met him late, but maybe Hua Wen can get his liking? Although she also likes Xu Keyi, Hua Wen is her friend, and of course she has to support Hua Wen.

Since she can't be with the person she likes, she is willing to see him become a good friend.
