166: Chapter 147: 【Unrequited Love】 166: Chapter 147: 【Unrequited Love】 At eight o’clock, the auditorium that could accommodate eight thousand people was almost full.
The main lights of the auditorium turned off one by one, gradually dimming from bright to dark until it was completely engulfed in darkness.
Suddenly, the scene quieted the originally noisy auditorium.
Everyone, including Ye Fan, knew the evening was about to begin, and they all turned their attention to the stage illuminated by the spotlight.
Shortly after, under the gaze of the audience, the stage lights brightened, and four hosts slowly walked onto the stage.
“Tonight, Su Liuli looks so beautiful, just like a fairy descending to earth.”
In front of Ye Fan, a male student’s gaze seed to have a tracker installed, always moving with Su Liuli’s steps, and he was muttering to himself.
Simultaneously, other male students from the business managent major saw Su Liuli appear and all were starry-eyed, their admiration and adoration unhidden in their gaze, while the female students revealed expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentnt.
Not only them, but even Ye Fan, who had once spent day and night with Su Liuli, couldn’t help but be dazzled.
Tonight, Su Liuli wore a trailing white evening gown, her flowing long hair elegantly done up, the tight-fitted gown accentuating her curvaceous figure to perfection.
Although she wasn’t revealing skin like the host beside her, she attracted the gaze of most of the male students present.
Under the spotlight, she stood on stage with her head held high and chest out, not donning a smile like the other three hosts, but instead, she unusually displayed a serene expression.
At this mont, she seed like a fairy untainted by worldly matters, radiating a sanctified aura all around.
Hmm?
Despite being hundreds of ters away, Ye Fan still clearly noticed Su Liuli’s unusual expression and subtly felt that sanctified aura emanating from her.
This faint, familiar aura gave Ye Fan a sense of déjà vu.
Years ago, when the Buddhist Supre Bodhi Wuyin visited Chu Xuanji, Ye Fan had the fortune to et Bodhi Wuyin.
At that ti, Bodhi Wuyin appeared like a legendary female bodhisattva, noble and sanctified, leaving a deep impression on Ye Fan!
Could it be…
could it be that the one who gave Su Liuli the “Amitabha Sutra” back then was really the Buddhist Supre Bodhi Wuyin?
Noticing the aura emanating from Su Liuli at this mont, resembling that of the Buddhist Supre Bodhi Wuyin, Ye Fan couldn’t help but silently question himself.
“Respected leaders, guests, teachers, and students, good evening to all!”
As Ye Fan pondered, the man in the black tuxedo, with a radiant smile, slowly delivered the opening speech, his voice full of magnetic charm.
“Clap clap…”
As soon as the male host finished speaking, a thunderous applause erupted in the venue.
“Without the winds of autumn, the geese fly high; without the snow of winter, the warmth is still mixed with cold; as ti swiftly passes, the stars shift; in this golden autumn season, we welco the annual freshman welcoming party at Dong Hai University!”
“Today, from all corners, we gather here at Dong University, united in our the to ’embrace virtue, pursue learning, and relentlessly strive for self-improvent.’ Tonight, let us cheer together and wish for a brighter tomorrow for Dong University!”
“Next, please welco Principal Zhou to declare the start of the party.”
The applause subsided, including Su Liuli among the three hosts who spoke in turn, where Su Liuli managed a smile when she spoke, though it seed a bit forced.
At the sa ti, her gaze unconsciously swept across the auditorium, seemingly searching through the vast crowd for that familiar figure.
“Next, I declare, the welco party officially begins!”
Seconds later, the lights shone on the person sitting in the front row center of the stage, whom the host ntioned as Principal Zhou.
He stood up, picked up the wireless microphone that had been prepared earlier, turned around, looked around, and began to speak with confidence.
“Whoosh!”
As Principal Zhou’s voice faded, the stage lights changed dramatically, with streams of light-made flas cascading down like a waterfall from above the stage, brilliantly exquisite.
“Awoo…”
The spectacular light show and novel opening instantly ignited the students’ passion, causing them to cheer involuntarily, so even stood up, waving their arms and shouting excitedly.
When the last laser fla vanished, the auditorium fell silent again, and cheerful music started, signaling the official start of the welco party as sixteen girls in red dance dresses appeared from both sides of the stage.
“Sister Liuli, did you see big brother?”
anwhile, as Su Liuli and the other four hosts returned backstage, Situ Ruoshui approached her imdiately and quietly asked Su Liuli.
Tonight, she was dressed in a white ani outfit, a cosplay look, with her spectacular Holy Maiden Summit prominently displayed, her legs revealed under a short skirt, paired with a pair of white boots—she looked like the female protagonist from a ga, sexy yet adorable.
“With so many people, how could I see him?”
Su Liuli replied with a smile and playfully poked Situ Ruoshui’s head, looking much more composed than she had that afternoon.
“Sister Liuli, I’m so nervous!” ntioning Ye Fan made Situ Ruoshui’s little heart race uncontrollably.
Su Liuli couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s just that guy coming to watch your performance, what’s there to be nervous about.”
“I…”
Situ Ruoshui subconsciously wanted to say sothing, but swallowed her words, her pretty little face flushing red.
“Okay, take a deep breath and calm your nerves, I’m going to make the announcent.”
Seeing Situ Ruoshui’s bashful deanor, Su Liuli understood that her feelings for Ye Fan were no shallow matter; she sighed internally but didn’t show her true feelings on her face.
With Su Liuli’s announcent done, the second act of the evening comnced, a cody sketch perford by four that continued to draw laughter from the audience.
After the sketch, a handso boy sang a Cantonese song “Red Sun,” igniting the lively atmosphere of the evening further.
At nine o’clock, when the eight art departnt girls concluded their fashion show performance, the atmosphere of the evening reached its climax, filling the large auditorium with applause and cheers.
Just as the audience’s excitent peaked, the male host in a black evening suit walked onto the stage with a smile.
This ti, instead of proceeding directly to the next act, he smilingly asked, “This year, a national champion has co to Dong University.
Does anyone know who she is?”
“Situ Ruoshui!”
As soon as the male host’s voice faded, the originally quiet auditorium exploded like a hot pot, with shouts erupting from all corners as so of Situ Ruoshui’s admirers even stood up, screaming their lungs out.
With deafening cheers ringing in his ears, Ye Fan couldn’t help but sigh internally at how incredibly popular Situ Ruoshui was at Dong University, almost beyond belief.
anwhile, sitting on the western side of the third row, Zhang Jianren and four of Lu Wen’s cronies quietly picked up the fragrant blue roses, stealthily approaching the stage amid the roaring cheers.
Seeing this, Lu Wen smirked proudly and began to rise slowly from his seat, preparing to take the stage.
“Congratulations, you got it right!”
Onstage, the male host interacted with a smile before suddenly raising his voice, “Now, please welco with your applause and cheers, the national ‘League of Legends’ championship team captain, Situ Ruoshui, to perform the the song from ‘League of Legends’ titled ‘Numb’!”
“Ah——”
“Clap clap!”
“Goddess Ruoshui!”
“Goddess of Otaku!”
In an instant, the atmosphere at the evening party boiled over.
The boys who admired Situ Ruoshui stood up from their seats like they were on steroids, waving their arms excitedly and clapping and shouting loudly.
They were welcoming their goddess’s entry in such a manner!
Amidst the overwhelming applause and cheers, Situ Ruoshui, dressed in a cosplay outfit, appeared from one side of the stage and walked slowly toward the center.
Seeing Situ Ruoshui appear, whether it was her admirers or other audience mbers, everyone paused their clapping and shouting, giving the stage over to Situ Ruoshui.
For a mont, Situ Ruoshui beca the sole focus of the entire venue, with everyone’s eyes fixed on her.
Facing all those gazes, Situ Ruoshui was painfully aware that Ye Fan was watching her, feeling her heart race to a terrifying point as if it was about to leap out of her throat, her cheeks flushed with nervousness.
“Huff…
huff…
huff…”
Feeling nervous, she followed the thod Sister Liuli had taught her and took three deep breaths.
“Can I…
Can I say sothing before I sing?”
After taking deep breaths, Situ Ruoshui felt a bit less nervous; however, instead of cueing the music to start, she timidly asked.
“Pfft——”
As her words rang in everyone’s ears, the entire audience, looking at Situ Ruoshui’s slightly scared and adorable deanor, burst out laughing.
Even the school leaders and sponsors sitting on the main stage couldn’t help but suppress their chuckles.
Seeing this, Situ Ruoshui seed to feel a bit silly herself, blushing with embarrassnt and then attempted to locate Ye Fan in the crowd just as Sister Liuli had done, only to see a sea of faces.
Having no other choice, Situ Ruoshui withdrew her gaze and summoned up her courage to say, “Before I sing, I especially want to thank soone for coming to watch my performance.”
Rustle——
As soon as Situ Ruoshui spoke, the quiet auditorium buzzed with whispers.
Who is Situ Ruoshui thanking?
Almost everyone asked themselves internally.
Lu Wen hadn’t disappeared.
When he heard Situ Ruoshui’s words, his face was imdiately overtaken by an emotion called excitent!
Excited, yes!
He knew very well that at Dong University, besides being close to Su Liuli, Situ Ruoshui was closest to him.
And Su Liuli was the host of tonight’s welco party!
In such a circumstance, he subconsciously thought that Situ Ruoshui was referring to him!
“I also want to thank him for once guarding like a War God.”
As the auditorium quieted down again, Situ Ruoshui spoke once more, her mind flashed back to the day Ye Fan had descended like a War God and rescued her from Qiao Bazhi and his group.
Her face was filled with gratitude, “Now, I dedicate the ‘League of Legends’ the song ‘Numb’ to my big brother and also to every audience mber present!”
Big Brother?
Guarded like a War God?
If Lu Wen initially subconsciously thought he was the person Situ Ruoshui wanted to thank, at this mont, he was certain it was him!
On one hand, every ti Situ Ruoshui saw him, she called him Brother Lu, and on the other hand, he had driven away those suitors who chased after Situ Ruoshui again and again, just like a War God.
With this realization, Lu Wen was so excited he almost wished he could jump onto the stage and give Situ Ruoshui a couple of kisses.
And led by Zhang Jianren, the four cronies all looked at him with admiring eyes as if saying: Brother Wen is aweso!
Beyond that, the audience mbers who had looked at Lu Wen were now also directing their gaze his way, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
“Silly girl.”
At the ergency exit, Ye Fan felt a warmth in his heart.
He was no longer alone.
