He Xiang stayed for a while. After watching their rehearsal, he left.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he bumped into Gu Xiuyuan, who had just gotten out of the car and was walking towards the place.
There was a bodyguard following behind, holding something in his arms. Apparently, it was the consolation gifts brought by the president.
Poor guy. He had absolutely no idea what he was going to see at the art festival.
Noticing the subtle look in He Xiang's eyes, Gu Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's up?"
He Xiang patted him on the shoulder and was about to leave without saying a word.
Gu Xiuyuan grabbed him and then turned to the driver on the other side and said, "Give him a ride."
Then he pushed He Xiang into the car. Knowing that he couldn't resist Gu Xiuyuan, He Xiang didn't refuse. He got in, told the driver the address, and by the way, took out his phone and sent a message to Ji Nian.
: Gu Xiuyuan is here.
When Ji Nian saw the message, Lu Jinghuai was giving guidance to Yang Xinyu. Not only could he play the piano, but surprisingly, he was also good at the drums, bass, and guitar. He was incredibly versatile.
"Gu Xiuyuan is coming. Quick! Put the clothes away."
Ji Nian threw his phone aside and woke up the people who were still immersed in the practice state.
They started to stuff the scattered T - shirts into their bags in a hurry.
Yang Xinyu, who had previously asked if wearing the T - shirt would shorten his lifespan, was the most extreme. He had even put it on.
At this moment, he was blushing and trying to take it off. But in such a hurry, mistakes were easy to make. His elbow got stuck and he couldn't pull it off.
Ji Nian, who was standing guard at the door, had already seen Gu Xiuyuan's figure.
At the critical moment, suddenly, two hands grabbed Yang Xinyu's arm and yanked it up, pulling the whole T - shirt off him.
Lu Jinghuai naturally draped the T - shirt, which had been turned inside out to cover the pattern, over his arm.
At the same time, Gu Xiuyuan slammed the door open.
He almost bumped into Ji Nian.
He was startled to see a person standing there and quickly retracted his foot.
"What are you squatting here for? Did you get hurt?"
He pulled Ji Nian up and checked him.
Since his mind was entirely on Ji Nian, he didn't notice in time that everyone showed expressions of relief at that moment.
Lu Jinghuai quietly returned Yang Xinyu's T - shirt to him and motioned him to put it in his bag.
"Why is it so quiet?"
After confirming that he hadn't bumped into Ji Nian when opening the door, he looked at the group of people with an obviously strange atmosphere.
Did they have a fight?
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
When selecting members for the band, Yang Xinyu, who had the best personality, and Xiang Wan, who was a new transfer student and still adapting to the new environment and a bit introverted, were specially chosen by him.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Yang Xinyu naturally stuffed the T - shirt into his bag and walked over, looking at Gu Xiuyuan with admiration on his face and saying, "President, why did you come?"
Xiang Wan even took off the musical instrument on her body, put it away, and walked over, whispering, "President."
When she first transferred here, it was Gu Xiuyuan who found the student union members in her class to help her adapt to campus life.
It was also because of this that Xiang Wan realized how different this school was from Hainuo.
At least no one would look at her with sympathetic eyes and deliberately avoid meeting her gaze.
"What were you guys doing just now?"
Shen Qingtang and Ji Nian had already rushed towards the new supplies brought by the bodyguard. They were standing around the bodyguard who was carrying things and discussing how to divide them later.
So only Lu Jinghuai answered without any guilt, "We just finished practicing. Everyone is tired."
Gu Xiuyuan glanced at him and got angry when he saw such a tall guy.
Especially when he saw the light blond hair of this young man wet and sticking to his pink - tinged cheeks, and his silver - gray eyes looking moist, he got even angrier.
"Yeah."
He responded and then turned to look at the two people rummaging through the things.
"Eat later. Sing the song for me once."
Gu Xiuyuan had specifically set aside time to check on their rehearsal.
Ji Nian stuffed a couple of mouthfuls of the small cake into his mouth, put down the fork, and stood up, saying, "Okay, Mr. President."
Since they had just started formal practice and hadn't coordinated well enough, but the charm of the song made Gu Xiuyuan overlook this shortcoming. He even looked at Ji Nian, who was standing in the C - position, swaying slightly with the rhythm and singing the song, in surprise.
Who would have thought.
He always thought Ji Nian was tone - deaf.
After the song ended, everyone was gasping for breath. Ji Nian came down and gulped down a mouthful of electrolyte water, then asked him, "So... how was it?"
Gu Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Not bad. If you keep improving at this level, you should be able to get into the top few."
Of course, he couldn't guarantee it for sure.
However, this kind of performance that could liven up the atmosphere was always more popular than other performances like dramas and dances.
"That's good."
Ji Nian thought that he didn't dare to expect the first prize, but he must get the second prize.
He Xiang's big refrigerator and big mattress all depended on them.
The rehearsal continued vigorously. During this period, Lu Jinghuai and Yang Xinyu also tried out many creative ideas.
Chen Mo's injury had healed, and he would come over from time to time to give some guidance. With his participation, the Calf Band was making more and more progress.
The only problem was that Chen Mo still couldn't figure out why Lu Jinghuai's attitude had changed. Lu Jinghuai kept calling him "uncle".
Just like now: "Uncle, is this right?"
"Uncle, do you want some water?"
Chen Mo's eyes twitched when he heard this. He really couldn't hold it back and said, "Or you can beat me up."
Lu Jinghuai tilted his head and smiled, saying, "How could I beat my uncle?"
Before Ji Nian arrived, Yang Xinyu even thought that Chen Mo was Lu Jinghuai's uncle, which caused quite a few misunderstandings.
Finally, the time came three days before the art festival.
The classes participating in the competition were going all out to do the publicity.
The posters designed by Ji Tingzhou for Ji Nian and the others were also ready. Ji Nian kept one for himself and pasted it in his room, and then started distributing flyers with the team members to promote their performance.
In previous years, they had always been very laid - back about this kind of competition. But unfortunately, this year, the participation award was related to the principal, and everyone was trying their best not to get this "honor".
So the publicity methods were also diverse. Some people even started canvassing for votes at this time. Fortunately, the actively patrolling student union stopped them, otherwise, there would have been chaos.
"Sweetie, you don't need to rack your brains for publicity like them."
"Listen to me. If you three just stand there, everyone will be attracted to you."
Shen Qingtang's eyes were shining as he looked at Ji Nian, Lu Jinghuai, and He Xiang, who had come to help, with enthusiasm.
Ji Nian:?
Shen Qingtang personally did Ji Nian's makeup and then braided his hair with a bright pink ribbon.
Lu Jinghuai and He Xiang firmly refused to wear makeup, so Shen Qingtang had no choice but to attach some ribbons to their bodies with regret.
"Will this really work? Don't we need to shout?"
Ji Nian looked at himself in the mirror doubtfully.
After putting on makeup, his already extremely delicate face looked even more outstanding. Just then, Lu Jinghuai walked up to him, bent down, and sniffed, saying, "You smell nice."
Ji Nian thought that he didn't smell as good as Lu Jinghuai.
Finally, as Shen Qingtang had expected, the effect was amazing.
The three of them stood in a row at the publicity area. Everyone, regardless of gender, was immediately attracted to them.
"Oh my god, their class is sending in the 'Three Beauties'!"
"Wow, our young lady is always using her beauty to kill!"
"Come on, fans of the young master! Let's support them!"
"Hey, He Xiang, He Xiang, He Xiang! I'm your dog, heehee."
Ji Nian watched helplessly as the classmate who had just claimed to be He Xiang's dog walked over. Without saying a word and looking extremely cool, the classmate took the poster from his hand, then nodded reservedly and said thank you.
[Sure enough, everyone is just talking big.]
When they actually see the person in question, they become mute.
...
"Hey! There's going to be a band performance at our alma mater's art festival. Could it be the one we saw in the practice room?"
Green Hair was holding a promotional poster he'd gotten God knows where from. He casually tossed his bag onto the sofa, nearly hitting someone, and said excitedly.
Another person leaned over and burst out laughing. "The Calf Band? Hahaha, what a weird name."
"Hey, Lao Wei, are you going?"
Wei Junze was leaning against the wall listlessly, his head down as he scrolled through his phone. He replied lazily, "Whatever."
