Chapter 211: Their School Festival (Part 3) [K]

For the school management, this external performance arranged in the small auditorium had certain publicity purposes.

They want to tell the outside world that Chengnan Private High School not only has a high admission rate, but also pays equal attention to students' physical and mental health, extracurricular activities, and social practice in private.

They want to change the outside world's stereotype of private high schools in southern Seongnam.

It is for this reason that the school has repeatedly emphasized that as long as the class has done its best in this performance, regardless of its ranking, it will receive good rewards.

Of course, if you can come out on top, the reward will naturally be more generous.

Thanks to the friendly atmosphere led by the school, students from each class participating in the performance got along very well with each other, except for contestants from a few individual classes.

Even if they didn't know each other before, they would say hello when they met backstage.

Those who are more extroverted will smile, and those who are more introverted will also give a basic nod or eye contact.

After all, in the eyes of most contestants, the purpose of this performance is first of all to prepare carefully, and secondly to expand the social circle. As for whether or not they get a ranking, no one really cares that much about it.

What's more, scoring is not something they can control.

Instead of wasting time on yourself, focus on the present.

"Watanabe, are you here?"

After opening the door curtain of the backstage, before Watanabe Yuu could even take a step, a long-haired girl who was putting on makeup noticed him, turned around, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yu nodded and responded.

"I'm a little late today, but this outfit is quite handsome."

The girl looked him up and down, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

It must be said that this outfit of Yu Watanabe's can be said to have completely hit her strike zone.

"If you continue to care about Watanabe-san so much, I'll be jealous. Didn't you say you only had eyes for me? Are you changing your mind so quickly? You're a fickle woman!"

The short-haired girl sitting next to her and watching her putting on makeup suddenly entered the acting mode and said these words in the tone of a miserable heroine in a TV drama.

"Yes, I am such a person who loves the new and dislikes the old." The long-haired girl smiled and nodded, then straightened her expression and reminded Watanabe Yu in a serious tone, "Hayakawa-san is here, go quickly, he is at the very back."

In fact, she wanted to chat with Watanabe Yu again, but it was really late.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yu nodded and walked inside.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something.

“Good luck on your first performance!”

Before lifting the second door curtain, Watanabe Yu stopped, turned around, and gave the long-haired girl an encouraging look.

If he remembered correctly, the other party was the first to perform on stage.

In a sense, she is actually setting an example for everyone.

"…Thank you. I will. You guys should do your best too. Remember to remind Hayakawa-san to relax this time."

The long-haired girl who was putting on makeup paused for a moment, then she nodded heavily, and her voice changed from being lively to becoming gentle.

"Yes, I will."

Watanabe Yu nodded slightly, pulled open the door curtain and walked in.

During the rehearsal, Yuki was a little too nervous, which resulted in some parts not being connected well, so the resulting effect was not very ideal.

Compared to past performances, it was indeed abnormal.

When his footsteps faded away, the short-haired girl raised her chin, imitated her best friend's tone, and repeated what her best friend had just said with a wink.

"You guys should do your best~"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

At the same time, there is also a kind of envy that is hard to explain.

During the school trip last semester, she saw him holding a guitar and singing seriously on the beach.

But compared to her outgoing and cheerful best friend, she didn't have that much courage when facing Watanabe Yu.

Of course, she also knew very well that such emotion was not "love", but just admiration.

"Are you jealous?"

The long-haired girl put down her lipstick and gently touched her best friend's face.

"Not really."

The short-haired girl looked away.

"Ok."

The long-haired girl spread her hands and said nothing more. She closed her eyes and prepared herself mentally.

As the leading group, it would be a lie to say that they were not nervous.

"coming?"

"Ah."

"come on!"

"Okay, good luck to everyone!"

"..."

After another warm welcome, Watanabe Yu finally arrived at the innermost backstage.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Watanabe Yu pulled out a chair and sat next to Hayakawa Yuki.

It is now 10:55 and there are only 5 minutes left before the performance officially begins.

"I said I'd call you."

Yuki Hayakawa turned around and looked at the neatly dressed Yu Watanabe, and her eyes lit up.

This was the first time she saw him wearing this outfit face to face.

Sure enough, this is the relationship between people and clothes. If both are strong, the combined effect will be even more exaggerated.

"Ayana is here, I took her for a little walk."

Watanabe Yu explained the reason very frankly.

Ryoko had told him before that Ayana had told Yuki in advance that she would participate in this school festival.

"Has she arrived yet?"

Yuki Hayakawa was a little surprised.

The time that Amemiya Ayana told her in Line was half past eleven, which was exactly the time when Class A of Grade One finished their performance, the host began to announce the show, and they were preparing to go on stage to perform.

"Yes." Watanabe Yu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Then..." Hayakawa Yuki picked up the eyebrow pencil and looked at Watanabe Yu, "Do you want to put on some more makeup?"

To be honest, given Yu Watanabe's physical conditions, in most cases, he doesn't need to wear makeup.

But if you simplify it, you will get better results.

Her idea was simple: to show off.

Tell everyone, look, this is my partner.

Of course, the most important point is that she wants Ayana and Ryoko to see it.

Even if they used some tricks to live under the same roof with You, so what? In a public occasion like this, the only person who could go on stage with him was her, and only her.

"Why don't we just forget it?"

Watanabe Yuu shrank back.

Personally, he is somewhat insensitive to the word "makeup".

"……also."

Hearing this, Yuki Hayakawa hesitated for a long time, but finally put down her eyebrow pencil.

She respects his opinion.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, makeup is just the icing on the cake for him. If he doesn’t have it, it doesn’t matter much.

"Anyway, let's adjust our status first."

Yuki Hayakawa coughed lightly, which was a reminder to both Watanabe Yu and herself.

She had to get those wandering thoughts back to her mind.

Just like my mother said, when you are most relaxed, not thinking about anything, and enjoying the present moment the most, that is when you are in your best condition.

If you care too much and are too persistent, it is easy to make mistakes.

So, don’t be obsessed.

This time, I have to stay relaxed.

She lowered her brows and reminded herself again in her heart.

"Ah."

Watanabe Yu closed his eyes and tried to find his state.

*
"They're coming."

On the other side of the backstage, Katsuto Mizutani, who had put on his makeup, withdrew his gaze from Watanabe Yu and instead reminded Hoshino Rei beside him.

"Oh."

Hoshino Rei responded indifferently.

Unlike others, the closer the performance got, the calmer she became.

The eyes of the people around them then quietly fell on them.

Many people dislike Katsuto Mizutani, for the simple reason that he is always arrogant.

Although he was indeed polite on the surface, the arrogance underneath that politeness was quite obvious, as if to say 'I am giving you alms by greeting and dealing with you'.

Since you always keep your eyes on the sky, we won't deal with you anymore.

With this idea in mind, everyone quietly distanced themselves from him.

As for completely breaking off relations with him, no one would do it. The reason is simple: why bother to argue with such a person?

Compared to the annoying Mizutani Katsuto, Hoshino Rei seems much more comfortable.

At least the latter is indeed not good at socializing. Although he is a bit cold, he does not have that arrogant feeling.

Even because she was always cold towards Katsuto Mizutani, and Katsuto Mizutani was always close to her, everyone had a better impression of her.

"Are you nervous?"

As if he noticed the gazes coming from behind, Katsuto Mizutani quickly added another sentence.

He knew that those eyes were laughing at him.

Before, he could have explained away the issue by saying that it was the look of a loser, but now, after what happened at the school gate, his heart was shaken unconsciously.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to be quiet for a while, okay?"

Hoshino Rei originally wanted to say "stop talking nonsense", but she also noticed the gazes of the people around her, so after hesitating for a long time, she changed her words, thinking of saving his face.

"..."

After he finished speaking, Katsuto Mizutani fell silent.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, those words only turned into two words.

"Ok."

His face turned livid and he closed his eyes.

It must be Watanabe Yu's problem, that's why Li is becoming increasingly cold towards him.

Today, he must get first place.

This is both an explanation to Li and an explanation to himself.

He also listened to their live performance during rehearsals.

The female vocal part obviously lowers the quality of the entire song.

In other words, as long as Watanabe Yu and the others continue to sing together, he and Li have a good chance.

'Another hot face against a cold butt'

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like laughing."

"No, hold it in. It would be terrible if such a person bore a grudge against you."

"Why do I suddenly feel sorry for Hoshino-san?"

'really. ’

After exchanging feelings with each other through eye contact, everyone withdrew their gazes tacitly, as if nothing had happened.

Now that I have watched the show I was supposed to watch and have clarified my thoughts, it is natural that I should prepare for the important work that is about to come.

"Then let us welcome with applause——"

The host's voice sounded backstage at the right time.
