Chapter 1046 A Small Talent Showcase
"Classmates, I hereby declare the banquet officially open!"

Ma Shicheng stepped through the front door, carrying two large bags filled with fried skewers and chilled drinks.

Zhang Chi followed closely behind, laughing heartily: "Xiao Shaoxiong, you deserve the most credit tonight, we thank you!"

Xiao Shaoxiong's face darkened immediately, and he wished he could just turn around and leave.

Unfortunately, Wang Longlong, who was in charge of discipline, was also in Zhang Chi's camp, and Xiao Shaoxiong felt a deep sense of oppression.

Ma Shicheng made money and treated the whole class to a late-night snack, which greatly reduced the classmates' jealousy of him.

As for Xue Yuantong, who provided proof of leaving school, Wang Longlong specially offered her a VIP meal, which was an upgraded version of fried skewers and grilled skewers, fruit tea, fruit slices, and mini cakes.

Jiang Ning thanked them; they were indeed quite good at handling people.

Xiao Shaoxiong also received a meal without a drink. He unwrapped the foil and found it contained vegetarian chicken, baby bok choy, and potatoes...

He glanced at his deskmate, Zhang Zhaodi, whose portion included fried chicken strips and Taiwanese sausage…

Looking at Lu Qiqi again, I noticed that her portion included braised chicken and chicken cartilage skewers...

Xiao Shaoxiong: "What do you mean? You're giving me all vegetarian dishes?"

Zhang Chi, who was distributing items, said, "Because you're bad at it."

Now that he's Ma Shicheng's henchman, he's naturally going to offend Xiao Shaoxiong severely. Anyway, since Xiao Shaoxiong had a falling out with Ma Shicheng last week, Zhang Chi not spitting on him is already considered merciful.

Xiao Shaoxiong ate the fried skewers, but they tasted like wax, and he felt uneasy.

He suddenly felt homesick and missed the simplicity of his town's high school.

At this moment, Lu Qiqi, who was sitting at the table behind, said, "Xiao Shaoxiong, here you go."

Xiao Shaoxiong noticed she was holding a can of iced cola and asked, "What does this mean?"

“Chai Wei said he’s giving this bottle to you,” Lu Qiqi said calmly.

Xiao Shaoxiong looked ahead and saw Chai Wei's handsome face. Chai Wei gave him an OK sign.

Offering help in times of need easily increases goodwill, and at this moment, Xiao Shaoxiong finally felt a touch of warmth from No. 4 Middle School.

Chai Wei did a good deed, took a sip of purified water, and smiled quite brightly.

The entire Class 8 was filled with the aroma of fried skewers; food always tastes especially delicious in this kind of environment.

While everyone was enjoying their meal, the homeroom teacher, Shan Qingrong, suddenly appeared at the front door of the classroom, carrying a case of bottled water.

Xiao Shaoxiong instinctively tried to hide the fried skewers, but the whole class remained calm and unhurried.

Xue Yuantong pointed to the podium and said, "Teacher Shan, we've saved you a late-night snack."

Shan Qingrong was taken aback at first, then his expression became very kind: "Having a late-night snack is good, you should eat something after studying!"

He expressed his high praise, and then went up to the podium to eat as well.

Wang Longlong winked at Ma Shicheng: "I told you it was worth it to get Xue Yuantong such a lavish gift package, wasn't it?"

Shan Qingrong took a sip of cola and said, "I have two things to announce today."

"First of all," he said, glancing at the two water dispensers in the corner, "everyone should try to drink boiled water from now on. Some students in Class 11 upstairs drank purified water and all of them had stomach aches."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and immediately stopped drinking.

Only Chai Wei held his cup and slowly drank the water.

Lu Qiqi and the others were surprised: "Aren't you afraid?"

Chai Wei chuckled but offered no explanation.

Pang Jiao's loving breakfasts, lunches, and dinners couldn't poison him, not even a little bit of pure water?
While eating and reading, Chen Qian pushed up his glasses and said, "Class teacher, since we enrolled, we have never heard of any problems with the school's purified water. Based on my judgment, someone must have put chemicals in the purified water for Class 11."

Xin Youling frowned: "Does anyone really have that much guts?"

Wang Longlong was already frantically searching for information on Tieba. After discussing it for a while, Wang Longlong said, "According to the information we have so far, the better the students' grades, the more severe their stomach aches are, especially their class monitor, Xu Yan!"

Upon hearing these words, Guo Kunnan, who had been calm, began to tremble, his long-dormant Dao heart: "Is she... alright?"

Shan Qingrong: "Yes, Wang Longlong is right. The better the grades, the more serious the illness."

Liu Chuandao gloated, "Luckily, my grades are bad, so I'll be fine!"

Shan Qingrong frowned.

Wang Longlong immediately stood up and shouted, "Liu Chuandao, I'm warning you, never drug your classmates!"

He bumped into Hu Jun, the class's life committee member.

Hu Jun is sharing photos of his late-night snack with Xiao Shaoxiong's sister. The two are chatting amicably and have already exchanged selfies.

Hu Jun stood up and said, "Liu Chuandao, from now on, you won't be responsible for carrying water for our Class 8."

Liu Chuandao was overjoyed. Carrying water was no easy task. It was more than 200 meters from the water room to the teaching building!
Liu, who benefited from the misfortune, expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for understanding, thank you for understanding."

Hu Jun then changed the subject: "But from now on, you'll be responsible for emptying the trash can every night."

Liu Chuandao: "?"

Duan Shigang and Cui Yu were relieved; they almost let Dao Ge get away with it.

Cui Yu said, "Congratulations, Dao Ge. Actually, even if you didn't have to carry water or take out the trash, we would still wish you well."

Duan Shigang clasped his hands in greeting: "Yes, congratulations on your fortune!"

After the troublemaker Liu Chuandao was dealt with, Shan Qingrong said, "There is one more thing. The school attaches great importance to the Three Cities Games and has repeatedly emphasized that everyone should not only be strong in 'martial arts' but also excel in 'literary arts'. Therefore, everyone is encouraged to sign up and participate in the opening ceremony performance. There will be rewards at that time."

At this point, Shan Qingrong looked at Huang Zhongfei in the last row. There was no way around it; Huang Zhongfei was handsome, could sing, and was definitely someone who could hold his own.

Upon seeing this, Yu Wen sat up even straighter; this was the man she had fallen in love with!

She fell in love with him without knowing anything about him, only to discover how talented he was!

"The class monitor is really something," Guo Kunnan exclaimed. Every time he used the pseudonym Huang Zhongfei, he could dominate the online dating scene.

"Huang Zhongfei's singing, Bai Yuxia's dancing, Jiang Ning's magic tricks—these are the special talents of our class," Jiang Yanan listed.

Liu Chuandao felt annoyed that Bai Yuxia never paid any attention to him, so he deliberately said, "I think Aiman's dance in the first year of high school is more beautiful. I like sexy dances."

“I like Zhou Jinglan’s piano playing,” Meng Gui said.

Cui Yu thought to himself, 'Why are you acting so elegant when you're just watching a movie?'

Duan Shigang: "I think Yun Tingting's badminton looks better, hahaha, which one do you guys choose?"

Liu Chuandao thought of Yun Tingting's ball and began to hesitate.

Dong Qingfeng chuckled, "No way, you guys are really going to pick someone here?"

New classmate Zhong Huai whispered to Han Wennuan, "You sing well, why don't you try participating in the activities?"

Han Wennuan's lips were thin and pale; she had been having a bit of bad luck lately.

She had been working part-time at a hot pot restaurant for the past few days and had earned 200 yuan. However, at noon today, she suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and felt like she was suffocating. She rushed to the hospital for a checkup, had a CT scan, which cost 300 yuan. The doctor said there was nothing wrong, just malnutrition and exhaustion.

Han Wennuan looked utterly dejected: "No."

Zhong Huai: "I heard that the school gives a reward to the selected programs, and the best ones can get more than 500 yuan."

Han Wennuan raised her hand: "Teacher Shan, I want to sign up. I can sing."

Wang Longlong secretly noted: 'Han Wennuan is good at singing.'

Dan Qingrong cast a glance at him, surprised by the unexpected delight: "Okay, count you in."

Zhong Huai knew Han Wennuan's singing talent well, and he encouraged her, "Teacher Shan, she sings really well. Everyone can listen to her now."

They've always been suppressed as transfer students, but this time, they have to shine!
Han Wennuan did not refuse; she was willing to forge ahead for the sake of making money.

When Shan Qingrong saw two classmates who were good at singing, he thought to himself that it might be difficult for them to compete for the top spot at the same time. If they failed, it would also damage the confidence of Han Wennuan, a student from a rural area, and be detrimental to the development plan of the Fourth Middle School.

He thought for a moment and had a new idea: "Zhongfei, could you sing a duet with her?"

A two-person team can effectively eliminate the negative impact.

Yu Wen stood there dumbfounded: 'Shan Qingrong, I hate you!'

Huang Zhongfei, who has always been gentle and mild-mannered, readily agreed.

Then, Yu Wen watched helplessly as the man she loved walked towards another woman.

"What to sing?"

Seeing her sister's bad luck, Lu Qiqi was in high spirits and encouraged her, "Sweet, sing Sweet!"

Yu Wen's eyes flashed with bloodlust: "Lu Qiqi, slap her!"

Miao Zhe, who used to be withdrawn but is now always willing to help others, helped turn on the multimedia and play the accompaniment.

Yu Wen went berserk: 'Miao Zhe, chop off his hand!'

Huang Zhongfei smiled warmly at Han Wennuan, signaling her not to be nervous.

As the soothing accompaniment began, Huang Zhongfei started to sing softly, his voice clear yet slightly magnetic:
"I'll pick an apple for you, and wait for you to pass by, then hand it to you to quench your thirst."

He sang two lines, and then it was Han Wennuan's turn.

The students in Class 8 were also curious about this new classmate and stared at her. Could she really sing sweet songs with that aloof voice?
The next moment, the classmate saw Han Wennuan's pale lips part, revealing a hint of joy: "Like cola in summer~ Like cocoa in winter~ You are the right time and the right role!"

Guo Kunnan was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Is he lip-syncing?"

Dong Qingfeng's expression was complicated: "Absolutely not."

"Alright, keep your voices down."

Han Wennuan: "You turned my world pink from that moment on."

Huang Zhongfei: "You've made my life completely different from now on—as long as you cooperate!"

Yu Wen: "Ah! Die!"

She saw the two of them smile at each other, their movements perfectly synchronized, just like a real couple.

'And what about me?' Yu Wen asked herself.

Finally, the song was over.

Chen Siyu exclaimed, "If you can sing this well, won't your other skills be off the charts?"

The way her classmates looked at Han Wennuan changed. A capable person will always be admired, no matter where they go.

Dong Qingfeng secretly decided: 'Starting tomorrow, add a warm treat to the daily snack list!'

Shan Qingrong was also satisfied and encouraged him: "You sang really well. Huang Zhongfei, when you fill out the program application, please include Han Wennuan. I have high hopes for you both."

The homeroom teacher's approval was like a knife to Yu Wen's heart.

She is not reconciled!

In a moment of impulsiveness, Yu Wen sent a large red envelope in her fan group: "Everyone will praise me later!"

She put down her phone and raised her hand: "Teacher Shan, I also want to perform!"

Shan Qingrong: "You?"

Zhang Yifei and the others heard this and laughed so hard that bits of vegetable stuck between their teeth: "Haha, it's like leading a sheep into a photo studio, making a fool of yourself!"

Li Shengnan: "A wife with a crooked mouth looks in the mirror and embarrasses herself in front of everyone."

Zhang Chi, who had just received a red envelope, cheered her on: "Yu Wen dares to show herself off, what about you guys?"

'My class…' Shan Qingrong took a deep breath: 'Ahem, quiet down.'

He said, "Our Class 8 is open to anyone who dares to try."

Yu Wen didn't sing; she chose to dance.

Zhang Chi and Cui Yu, who had received their red envelopes, immediately clapped: "Great, keep it up, we believe in you!"

The helpful Miao Zhe requested a song called 'Dancing Girl' for the esteemed Yu Wen!
Then, an energetic intro began.

Yu Wen, standing on the podium, raised her chin, exposed her nostrils, and struck a pose resembling an earthworm.

Bai Yuxia lowered her face in self-consciousness.

Yu Wen felt a surge of excitement. 'Huang Zhongfei, look me straight in the eye!'

"Moonlight~ recklessly spills across the windowpane, staining it with color~"

Yu Wen's limbs resembled those of a thousand-year-old zombie as she suddenly delivered a powerful iron-mountain lean.

Because the impact was too great, it hit the corner of Yang Sheng's desk on the left side of the podium with a "bang".

Yang Sheng's eye twitched, and his voice sounded painful.

As expected, Yu Wen was hit hard. Her face was full of pain, she clutched her arm, and slowly squatted down.

The music was still playing when the homeroom teacher, Shan Qingrong, asked in surprise, "Is this dance really that short?"

Cui Yu and Zhang Chi raised their hands in applause: "Great, wonderful!"
