Chapter 127: Think of a Program!
“Graduation ceremonies have a milestone-like significance for senior high school students.” Zhang Binyan pondered, seemingly recalling his own past experiences.
“As the final lesson for students on campus, it is also an important occasion for the school to convey its blessings and expectations to the graduates.”
Pu Tong nodded. He had experienced graduation himself, after all, so he was quite moved by it too. Three years of life were still vivid before his eyes, the familiar campus was about to become a memory, and the people who had walked alongside one another would also go their separate ways……The graduation ceremony was, in essence, a formal farewell to three years of high school.
If it were a task assigned to him by the school, he really would have no interest, but if it was the wish of the senior students, then it was different, because they were genuinely looking forward to him.
“Because this requires rehearsals and preparation in advance, I’m just letting you know……”
“Okay, teacher.”
There was nothing wrong with preparing in advance. To be honest, Pu Tong could go onstage without preparing at all……
“Also, Wanwan and the others should be participating too.” Zhang Binyan paused.
“But they’re performing as artistic guests, while you represent our class, so it’s still different.”
The celebrity students had to put on a performance too? Then it was probably the joint idea of the school and the production team.
But that was understandable too. After all, with seven entertainers, their performances would definitely be better than those of ordinary people, and more entertaining to watch.
The school would get a distinctive graduation gala, while the production team would probably use this to film an episode, something similar to an arts performance.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, a campus-themed variety show couldn’t possibly pass up such a great theme as graduation season.
“Let’s think about it after the midterm exams this cycle are over.” Zhang Binyan cleared his throat. “You’re still a student, so no matter what, studying comes first, understand?”
Pu Tong nodded like a drum, expressing his deep agreement.
It was only mid-May now, and there was still some time before the graduation ceremony and gala. There was no need to rush. The homeroom teacher was simply having him prepare in advance so that he wouldn’t be thrown onto the stage at the last minute.
After leaving the office, Pu Tong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. For students, even someone like him would still feel especially awkward in the office. This was probably just a student’s natural instinct.
“Is everything okay?” Seeing Pu Tong return with a calm expression, Yu Wanwan was still a little worried. After all, their homeroom teacher was usually rather strict, and calling someone out first thing in the morning was probably to lecture them.
“Nothing major.”
Morning self-study had just ended, so Pu Tong didn’t mind chatting with her a little, lest they start imagining things.
“Our undefeated gaming joke-maker finally fell into the hands of the homeroom teacher!” The Japanese girl turned around, looking like she was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Of course, she knew Pu Tong wasn’t the one playing games. She was just joking around.
“Joke-maker my ass!” Pu Tong was a little speechless and directly flicked her forehead.
“Don’t say random things, little kid.”
“Adults are talking, children shouldn’t interrupt!” Yu Wanwan chimed in, grinning from ear to ear.
“Eek!” Yi Zhi Xuenai rubbed her forehead, her face full of displeasure.
“You two are bullying people too much……” Before she could finish, Lin Yuxi covered her mouth from the side.
“Weren’t you supposed to not stir things up?” Lin Yuxi tapped her forehead with her index finger.
“Quietly watch!”
“I understand the logic, but why do you have to tap the exact same spot?”
How many relationships had gone cold simply because both parties couldn’t stand outsiders stirring things up? Shipping couples was definitely something that should be done in moderation.
It was just like many youthful school romances. Originally, the two people could simply let things develop naturally over time, but once bystanders got involved and stirred things up, breaking that natural atmosphere, all that remained for the people involved besides awkwardness was nothing, and in the end they could only drift farther and farther apart……
“Ahem!”
Pu Tong still felt that this topic was a little awkward. After all, there wasn’t even the slightest sign of anything yet, so there really was no need to say random things.
“Actually, the main reason he called me out was to talk about the graduation gala.”
To change the subject, he roughly explained most of what was going on with this graduation gala, including the fact that the celebrity students among them would also have to put on performances.
“After all, it’s graduation season. I guess it’s within expectations……” Lin Yuxi murmured.
Actually, there were only so many things a high school variety show could do. Graduation season was definitely a fairly important part of it, basically a standard feature of campus variety shows.
“Crap, I feel like I can’t do anything now……”
Yi Zhi Xuenai rubbed her forehead, still not recovered from the two attacks she had just suffered.
“Don’t you know how to do otaku dancing?”
When the Japanese girl had first arrived, hadn’t she performed a segment of otaku dancing during music class?
“Have you ever seen me dance it again?” Yi Zhi Xuenai smiled sheepishly.
“I forgot how to do it……Ehehe.”
Pu Tong couldn’t help but feel solemn admiration. To be able to slack off so much that you forgot your own skills, this person was genuinely impressive.
“I’ll just dance, right!” Lin Yuxi loved dancing far too much. Even when taking acting roles, she preferred ones that had dancing scenes. To her, becoming a celebrity was simply about having a new channel through which to spread dance, so of course she wouldn’t pass up such a great opportunity.
“Dance, you can all dance!” Yi Zhi Xuenai interrupted. “Thinking about it carefully, dancing is still better. I don’t really have any songs.”
They couldn’t exactly sing a Japanese song at a Chinese high school graduation gala……She still had enough awareness to know that.
“Then let’s just hope this year’s senior students are more into anime and manga, so you don’t end up dancing otaku dance to a dead-silent audience!” Yu Wanwan rubbed Yi Zhi Xuenai’s head.
“You’re acting weird!”
Yi Zhi Xuenai shrank back a little, feeling something indescribable, as if whenever Yu Wanwan interacted with her, there was always an inexplicable hint of……maternal radiance.
It felt like she was treating her as her daughter……
“Ah!”
Yu Wanwan became a little embarrassed. To be honest, she didn’t know what kind of mindset this was either. After the few of them had spent so much time together, they always gave off the feeling of being one family. Lin Yuxi was mature and steady, like the head of the family, while she and Pu Tong were the male and female heads of the household, and Yi Zhi Xuenai was the daughter.
“Stop imagining weird things!” Pu Tong rolled his eyes at her, feeling a little creeped out.
One look at her expression and he knew this girl wasn’t thinking anything good!
Yu Wanwan smiled sheepishly and quickly stopped her absurd train of thought.
That said, it was a little perverted……
“I’ll still sing a song when the time comes.” Yu Wanwan gave an awkward smile, forcibly steering the topic back on track.
“If Wanwan sings, there definitely won’t be any problem, right.”
“Actually, there is still a problem.”
For a graduation gala, the theme of the song would definitely be better if it were related to graduation season. If she sang something else, no matter how well she sang it, it wouldn’t quite fit the situation and would fall short.
“Then have your……ahem, then have Pu Tong write you a song?” Yi Zhi Xuenai blinked her eyes, somewhat looking forward to the two of them collaborating again.
“No!” Pu Tong and Yu Wanwan both refused at the same time.
“Huh?” Although they were very much in sync, wasn’t that rejection a little too decisive?
“Don’t treat me like Doraemon, as if I’ll have whatever song you want?” Actually, it was quite easy for Pu Tong to produce a song, but he really didn’t want to do that.
Because the Yu Wanwan he knew wasn’t someone who would seek help whenever she encountered difficulties, nor was she the kind of little woman who hid behind him. She could also face many things on her own.
Yu Wanwan nodded. She thought the same way. If she had to rely on Pu Tong every time to realize her own value, then she would be a little too useless.
If she wanted to stand by his side, she had to put in the effort herself too!
Besides, she really didn’t expect Pu Tong to become her source of support. There was no reason for liking someone to be this kind of dependent relationship.
“If you don’t want it, I do!” Yi Zhi Xuenai shrugged.
“Write ten songs for this young lady first!”
“You’re really dreaming big!” Yu Wanwan snorted.
“But speaking of which……” Lin Yuxi suddenly interrupted. “Didn’t Pu Tong write each of you two a song? If you count it that way, doesn’t that mean I’m the only one without one?”
Pu Tong thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
“The problem is, you can’t sing?”
Lin Yuxi’s talents were only acting and dancing. She had never sung a song at all.
“So you don’t write one if I can’t sing?” Lin Yuxi was a little unhappy. “Got it, I’m an outsider.”
“Stop messing around.”
Pu Tong didn’t pay attention to Lin Yuxi’s joke. He was thinking about another question.
Known: Lin Yuxi can act and dance;
Yu Wanwan can act and sing;
But Yi Zhi Xuenai can sing, dance, and act, and can even draw.
Therefore: Yi Zhi Xuenai ＞ Yu Wanwan + Lin Yuxi
So: the Sakura girl is the strongest.
Pu Tong glanced at Yi Zhi Xuenai, who was lying on the desk laughing and joking around, and felt a little helpless.
If only she were more diligent, she could crush half the entertainment industry.
