Rebirth Begins with Rejecting my Childhood Friend - Chapter 73

Xu Xiuwen didn’t know anything about the website or the penguin group. He just sat quietly in front of the piano in the musical instrument room, playing, waiting for the party to start.

Before the party started, Xu Xiuwen also received text messages from all kinds of people.

There were text messages from Xiao Youran and Song Siyu, as well as text messages from his roommates.

The text messages from his roommates mainly told him that they had arrived at the auditorium and asked him to prepare well and they will watch him perform later.

In addition to these people, some female students from the Software and Information Engineering Department also sent him text messages. Everyone knew that he was going to perform on stage and they were all looking forward to it.

Tang Weiwei didn’t send a text message because she didn’t have a mobile phone, but Shen Minyao, who was in the same dormitory, sent him a text message.

Shen Minyao told him not to be nervous in the text message, saying that his last performance was wonderful and that as long as he showed his normal level, it would be enough.

Most of the others said they were looking forward to his performance. Only Shen Minyao was worried that he would be nervous when performing on stage and encouraged him.

This had to make Xu Xiuwen silent.

Shen Minyao, this beautiful Dalian girl, is a very gentle and considerate girl.

At six o’clock in the evening, the party is about to begin.

Xu Xiuwen also came from the musical instrument room to the dark places on both sides of the auditorium to watch the opening ceremony.

At six o’clock sharp, the entire auditorium first became dark.

With a crisp bang, the lights in the entire auditorium suddenly lit up.

Two teams of boys wearing military uniforms rushed out from both sides of the stage. Among them, the boy leading the team on the left was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and his hair was combed like an older generation of martial artists.

As soon as both sides came on stage, several people held a brand new red flag in their hands. They shouted “Ah” the moment they came on stage, and the shouts were loud.

The two teams of boys merged waving their flags. The two leading boys, wearing Chinese tunic suits, and another boy wearing military uniforms, came together. The two held each other’s hands tightly. The students behind them saw this and continued to wave the flags.

Xu Xiuwen took a closer look and saw clearly that the flag of the team on the left said “Jinling Jiaotong University” in large characters, while the flag of the team on the right said “Welcome Party”.

The two teams of boys waved the flags desperately, and finally posed in a very cool pose, similar to the oil painting of the Jinggangshan meeting in the high school textbook.

Xu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that they were imitating the Jinggangshan Reunion.

It was indeed a prestigious school with a rich history, and he instantly felt like he was in that era.

He admired the girls in the Literature and Art Department very much. They had really good brains and dared to implement their ideas.

Then the lights dimmed, and music sounded from the large speakers around the auditorium. The sweet music sounded from all directions, surrounding everyone in the auditorium.

Then the lights came on again, and the two teams of boys had already left the stage in the dark. A girl wearing a long skirt similar to an evening dress and a handsome boy wearing a suit walked out.

“Dear leaders, teachers, dear classmates, and friends from the school next door, welcome to the 2005 New Year’s Eve Party of Jinling Jiaotong University—start now!”

The welcome party at Jiaotong University was really good. Xu Xiuwen watched several programs in a row. Every student worked hard to perform, hoping to give the audience the most exciting performance. The effect was indeed very good. The opening programs were very exciting.

The party was going very smoothly. Xu Xiuwen was watching in rapt attention when he suddenly heard someone whispering his name.

He turned around and saw that the person calling him was Zhong Zhu.

Zhong Zhu had some urgency on her face, “Don’t look at me, it’s your turn to perform soon.”

“I understand.” Xu Xiuwen responded and followed the girl backstage.

When he was approaching the musical instrument room, Xu Xiuwen saw some students moving pianos. After a cursory glance, there were about a dozen.

Xu Xiuwen wanted to laugh when he saw it. Because the piano is not that heavy, maybe four or five people can move it. However, he then thought that this was a school piano. Maybe they were afraid that few people would bump it, thus so many people were used.

Zhong Zhu next to him urged, “Xu Xiuwen, why are you still standing here? Why don’t you change clothes quickly? Do you need your hair done? We have a makeup artist who can do it for you now.”

Xu Xiuwen looked down and saw that he was still wearing his usual clothes.

Remembering that the clothes he bought in advance were still in the musical instrument room, he hurriedly walked into the musical instrument room, picked up the bag containing the clothes, then turned back to Zhong Zhu behind him and said, “Where should I go to change clothes.”

Zhong Zhu glanced at the bag in his hand and said, “You can change it here. I’ll go out and guard the door for you. Hurry up.”

Xu Xiuwen didn’t hesitate and nodded in agreement.

The bag contains a slim-fitting suit, pure white, paired with a white shirt, and a light green tie, with a fresh flavor.

After Xu Xiuwen changed his clothes, he took the initiative to open the door without waiting for Zhong Zhu to prompt him.

After the door opened, Zhong Zhu was stunned when she saw Xu Xiuwen walking out of the musical instrument room.

“So… so handsome!”

Zhong Zhu was stunned and stuttered when speaking.

“Stop looking, take me to the makeup artist first.” Xu Xiuwen had to remind Zhong Zhu.

The girl’s surprised look also made him quite satisfied. It seemed that he had chosen the clothes well.

Following Zhong Zhu to the dressing room, Xu Xiuwen put on some makeup with the help of the makeup artist, mainly powdering his face, slightly shaping his eyebrows, and focusing on his hair.

Seeing Xu Xiuwen wearing a suit in the dressing room, the makeup artist wanted to blow his hair up so that the entire forehead was exposed.

But Xu Xiuwen wants bangs.

The two were arguing, and finally, Zhong Zhu intervened to coordinate, and both parties took a step back.

The final hairstyle was a mixed hairstyle, with bangs and forehead exposed.

After blowing out his new hairstyle and spraying it with styling water, Xu Xiuwen noticed that Zhong Zhu’s eyes were shining.

The makeup artist behind him in the mirror also had a satisfied smile on her face.

Xu Xiuwen naturally saw his hairstyle in the mirror in front of him and was very satisfied.

Before the show was about to start, Xu Xiuwen followed Zhong Zhu to the stage entrance on the right side of the stage.

The piano in the musical instrument room was placed in front of him at the moment. Beside the piano were more than a dozen students preparing to carry it.

Of the two programs before Xu Xiuwen, one was a cross-talk program, which was the cross-talk program that Xu Xiuwen saw when he first went to the small Jiao Auditorium.

To be honest, the effect of the program was mediocre. The previous programs had already raised the atmosphere of the party, but when it came to the cross-talk, the atmosphere cooled down again. Many students in the audience did not like this program.

Perhaps because of the cold start of the cross-talk, the effect of the following program was not very good.

This was completely different from Jiang Yin’s expectations. The girl noticed that the smiles on the faces of the school leaders in the first row had disappeared, and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

So before Xu Xiuwen took the stage, Jiang Yin came to Xu Xiuwen and said seriously, “The first two programs were not very effective. You are the finale. Whether our 2005 New Year’s Eve Party will start at the beginning or end at the end depends on you.”

What else could Xu Xiuwen say? He could only nod.
