3136 Anticipation
Xu Wen smiled and said, “If I’m not selected for the performance, I’ll run ten rounds around the school. I won’t go back on my word.”
Running ten laps around the entire school, who knew how many kilometers that was?
Ye Jian smiled too. “I can’t guarantee that I’ll be selected, but I’ll try my best not to embarrass myself.”
At this point, Liu Yang didn’t probe further.
He didn’t have high expectations. As long as the five programs could be successfully performed, it was fine. He didn’t even want to think about whether they could perform for the entire school.
If they were chosen, so be it. If they weren’t… They had tried their best.
When the screening process started, all the students wanted to watch, but it was impossible. Hence, they sent Liu Yang, Qian Yanjun, and five other boys to watch it.
The screening was carried out during the afternoon break. After Liu Yang, Qian Yanjun, and the other five boys finished watching, it was already 2:40 pm in the afternoon.
From 3 pm to 3:50 pm, it was the fifth lesson. The five of them didn’t return to the dormitory and went straight to the classroom. Along the way, they didn’t interact with each other. They were still immersed in the shocking sword dance of Ambush on Ten Sides.
The cold wind that whistled over seemed to have come from an ancient battlefield. It swept through the tragic times and crossed the long river of history. It was wrapped in blood-colored fog and turned into a sword that swept straight over.
The blade of the sword flashed. Life and death battles took place. The sound of horses’ hooves could be heard. Blades clashed… Some people survived while others died. Blood flowed like rivers. It was tragic! The impact was so strong!
The students had already arrived. They specially came to the class early to wait for the news brought back by the five representatives.
Although they didn’t have much hope for their class’ performances, they wanted their class to be selected so that they could represent their class in the school.
Normally, they didn’t care much and pretended not to care. However, when the day came, they were still quite nervous.
When the five representatives walked in, the waiting students all looked at them. They saw their faces and didn’t ask anything. The students felt a chill in their hearts.
There was something wrong with this situation. It was too serious, and there was a tragic look on their faces… Damn, even if their class didn’t get selected for any of the performances, there was no need for everyone to look so tragic!
“It’s okay, it’s okay. We didn’t get chosen this time, but there’s still next year, right? There’s still the year after next, right? There’s still the year after that. We still have three chances. It’s okay, it’s okay. We don’t have to worry.”
The students in the front row comforted the representatives considerately. They were all frightened by the tragic expressions on the faces of the five representatives.
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. We didn’t get chosen this year. But we’ll be chosen next year and the year after that. It’s a small matter. Don’t be too sad.”
“There’s really no need to worry. It’s good that we didn’t get selected. At least we can take the time to revise. Friends, don’t forget that we’re about to take our exams! Let’s hurry up and revise!”
“There’s a good side to everything. Don’t be so pessimistic. We have to smile. When the students who are involved in the performances see us like this, they’ll feel even worse.”
“No, we were selected. Out of the five performances, two were chosen. There was going to be a third too, but Xu Wen’s solo dance was cut and Ye Jian’s Ambush on Ten Sides was retained.”
Because of this sentence, the entire class was looking forward to that day.
