Chapter 596 Pearl City Drama Academy
There is one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes.

There are 30 school bands participating in the campus band competition today. Only the top six teams in the scoring will win awards, so the competition is quite fierce.

However, according to the student council members, the campus bands participating in the competition today were of very varying skill levels, with a significant polarization. The judges were exhausted during the performances of several bands... It seems that some university students are really going all out to get the city-level certificate.

Lu Yuanqiu brought his band and the other contestants outside. The front row seats in the audience were arranged for all the band members. Lu Yuanqiu didn't watch the performances of the others, but he was confident that he would win.

Moreover, the focus today is no longer on whether he can win first place in this competition; the focus has become that, without any warning, he and Bai Qingxia have officially become boyfriend and girlfriend.

"You guys go sit in the back first," Lu Yuanqiu said to Bai Qingxia and the other girls.

Bai Qingxia held her certificate, looked at him, and nodded obediently.

Lu Yuanqiu and his five friends squeezed into the front row. Many band members cast sizing glances at him, each with a calm face hiding a heart-wrenching envy. No boy would not envy Lu Yuanqiu for having a girlfriend like Bai Qingxia, even without knowing the girl's inner thoughts and only looking at her appearance.

"Hello, Lu, I've heard about you before." As soon as Lu Yuanqiu sat down, a pretty girl next to him extended her right hand.

Lu Yuanqiu politely shook hands with her and replied, "Hello."

The girl had a very elegant demeanor, the kind of refined air that comes from a wealthy family, much like Long Lian Dong. However, the girl in front of him was clearly more easygoing than Long Lian Dong.

"He Qianlan, a freshman at Pearl River Theatre... oh no, she's already a sophomore this semester, hehe." He Qianlan gave off a gentle and dignified feeling, but after realizing she had said the wrong thing, she became playful in contrast, closing her eyes and cutely tapping her forehead.

Lu Yuanqiu was somewhat surprised: "Pearl opera?"

"Ah."

She paused, then politely placed her hand on her chest: "I'm the lead singer of the band, and this is the guitarist..."

She introduced her teammates sitting next to her and Lu Yuanqiu one by one. Perhaps it was because they happened to be sitting together that she expressed friendliness. Lu Yuanqiu had not intended to talk to her so much, after all, he was already a married man and should avoid suspicion in public. However, her identity as a pearl opera singer still aroused his interest.

Out of politeness, Lu Yuanqiu introduced Zheng Yifeng and the other three to each of them. Liang Jingfeng's gaze immediately locked onto He Qianlan, but Fingel abruptly turned his head away.

"Are there any celebrities in your year?" Lu Yuanqiu asked curiously.

He Qianlan nodded with a smile: "Yes, there is Guo Xiaoting, who played Hua Ying in Chinese Paladin 3, and the girl who played Mo Xiaobei in My Own Swordsman."

"Wow!" Lu Yuanqiu's eyes widened slightly. "Then you're going to be a big star in the future too?"

He Qianlan covered her mouth and laughed: "My online fame is far less than yours."

Lu Yuanqiu responded with a smile, and He Qianlan suddenly coughed: "Your girlfriend is watching us."

Lu Yuanqiu turned around and saw Bai Qingxia sitting behind him, looking at him with a slightly dazed expression in her big, round eyes. When she saw Lu Yuanqiu looking at her, she only managed a slight, forced smile.

Lu Yuanqiu immediately made an "eight" gesture with his fingers and placed it under his chin, giving her a "cool" look. Bai Qingxia was then amused and smiled more brightly.

He Qianlan looked straight ahead, no longer glancing at Lu Yuanqiu, and whispered, "I remember her name is Bai Qingxia? In reality, she's quite the jealous girl."

Lu Yuanqiu was amused and burst into laughter.

When the host saw that everyone had arrived, he took the results and walked to the stage. Lu Yuanqiu listened attentively and heard the host say that he would start reading from the sixth place in the score and move forward.

"Sixth place, Zhucheng Foreign Languages ​​University, HE Band."

Lu Yuanqiu and He Qianlan turned around together and saw five people in the back row stand up and walk towards the stage. The hostesses presented them with five certificates one by one, and the judges gave brief comments on the band's live performance and songs. After the three winners of the third prize were announced, the Yanggu String Band was not among them. Now it was time for the second prize winners.

Host: "Third place, Zhucheng Jiaotong University, Step Star Band."

Lu Yuanqiu and his group of five turned their heads to the right and saw five more people getting up.

Liang Jingfeng let out a breath and nervously gripped his pants: "It looks like we should be number one."

Lu Yuanqiu suddenly rolled his eyes, which were trembling.

Host: "Second place, Zhucheng University, Yanggu String Orchestra!"

Liang Jingfeng's smile froze.

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu stand up, He Qianlan clapped lightly: "Congratulations."

Lu Yuanqiu nodded politely to her, then walked behind Liang Jingfeng and whispered, "Sew Liang Shao's mouth shut when we get back to school. Anyone have any objections?"

The other three responded in unison: "No objection."

Liang Jingfeng cleared his throat, trying to salvage the situation, saying, "Actually, second place isn't bad either..."

The four ignored him and stood on the stage. Lu Yuanqiu smiled and accepted the certificate from the hostess: "Thank you."

The host, looking straight ahead, said, "Please give your comments, judges."

On the judges' panel, a man with a middle-part hairstyle pulled the microphone closer to his mouth and said, "The composition is really good, the level is very high."

Lu Yuanqiu and the other four kept their mouths tightly shut with serious expressions: "..."

The host blinked at them, expecting the five students to thank him for the "praise," but they remained silent, so the host looked back at the judges.

The middle-parted male judge frowned and said, "It's this song with lyrics... The song is called 'Light Years Wrinkles,' right? Please forgive me... I'm really confused by these lyrics. I apologize, they give me the feeling of being just a pile of fancy words, like the sun, the moon, swans, hairpins. I really don't understand what they're trying to express..."

in the audience.

"Stupid judges," Liu Wangchun cursed without any attempt to hide his anger.

Bai Qingxia frowned and nodded, a rare occurrence for her.

Lu Douqing: "Stupid judges."

Su Miaomiao and Luo Wei both turned to look at her, and Bai Qingxia also leaned over in surprise.

Seeing that the five students on stage were all glaring at the judges' panel, the host was stunned... Why did they not react when praising the composition, but get anxious when commenting on the lyrics?
"But it's actually quite nice to listen to." The host quickly smiled to ease the tension.

The male judge with the middle parting smiled and nodded: "Overall, it is indeed very good, so it won second place. If the lyrics could be written a little better, it would definitely be first place with this composition."

“I have a different opinion.” A voice suddenly came from the side. It was the curly-haired female judge sitting next to the male judge with the middle part.
