On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

(PS: The verification period has begun, so I'm shamelessly asking for some support! If you haven't added it to your bookshelf yet, I hope you'll add it and give me some clicks to urge me to update!)

Liu Yu walked onto the stage with his guitar and bowed slightly to the empty audience.

He then sat down, and a staff member helped him adjust the microphone height.

Liu Yu tested the sound and began playing the intro.

The sound of a guitar echoed in the empty hall.

He started singing.

This time, he sang with even more passion.

He imagined the audience was full of people, and he imagined Su Wanqing sitting in the center of the first row, looking at him.

The song ended.

Applause erupted from the audience.

Liu Yu looked up and saw Teacher Xu Yao nodding in satisfaction, while Du Ningxuan clapped vigorously, her eyes shining.

"Very good, Liu Yu. Keep it up, and you'll be fine for the party."

"Thank you, teacher."

Liu Yu packed up his guitar and prepared to leave.

"Junior, wait a minute." Du Ningxuan called out to him.

Liu Yu turned around: "Senior, you have something to do!"

Du Ningxuan walked over, holding a bottle of water: "Here, have some to soothe your throat. You must be thirsty after singing for so long."

"Thank you, senior." Liu Yu took the water; it was a high-end mineral water from a certain brand, costing twenty or thirty yuan a bottle.

"Don't mention it." Du Ningxuan looked at him with a smile. "Junior, you play the guitar so well, did you teach yourself or did you learn from a teacher?"

"I learned it on my own, just messing around," Liu Yu said honestly.

"That's even more amazing!" Du Ningxuan's eyes lit up. "I wanted to learn guitar in high school, but I never stuck with it. Maybe I can ask you for some pointers sometime!"

Liu Yu: "...Senior, you're too kind. My skill level is average, I'm afraid I can't teach you."

"How could that be? You're too modest." Du Ningxuan seemed oblivious to the hint of refusal in his words and continued, "Then it's a deal. After the party, I'll treat you to dinner and ask you for guitar lessons. You can't refuse, okay?"

Liu Yu: "..."

What else could he say!

"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. Go back now." Du Ningxuan waved her hand with a sweet smile. "See you tomorrow, junior."

Liu Yu, holding his guitar, walked out of the multi-purpose hall, his feelings complicated.

This senior, Du Ningxuan... isn't she being a little too enthusiastic?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

For the next two days, Liu Yu's routine settled down.

I had classes in the morning, ate hot pot noodles with Su Wanqing at noon, went to rehearsal in the afternoon, and played games and had dinner with Su Wanqing in the evening.

The sensation caused by the poster continues to grow.

As Liu Yu walked around campus, more and more people recognized him, and more and more people secretly took photos of him.

During rehearsals, Du Ningxuan was almost always present, and she showed meticulous care for Liu Yu.

Bring him water, throat lozenges, remind him to rest, help him tidy his clothes...

Liu Yu felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything, after all, she was a senior student and the head of the arts and culture department, and she said it was for the sake of the party's effect.

Su Wanqing had also heard about it, and during lunch, she asked, seemingly casually, "I heard that Du Ningxuan, the head of the Literature and Art Department, is quite good to you!"

Liu Yu's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "It's alright, she's in charge, and she takes every program very seriously."

Su Wanqing raised an eyebrow: "But I heard that she's particularly 'concerned' about you. She brings you water and candy, and takes great care of you~"

Liu Yu: "...Who told you that?!"

"Wang Qian has a friend in the Literature and Art Department. She said that Minister Du used to be very aloof and always treated boys with a purely businesslike attitude. She has never seen her be so enthusiastic towards any junior."

Liu Yu felt a bit of sweat on his back.

"That's probably... because my show is more important!"

Su Wanqing nodded, then leaned closer to him: "But Comrade Liu Yu, I have to remind you, Senior Du Ningxuan has a lot of experience in relationships and loves to flirt with innocent and handsome juniors like you. You'd better... hold on tight."

Liu Yu was a little nervous: "What am I holding back! Apart from rehearsals, I haven't even exchanged more than a few words with her."

Su Wanqing sat back down, a half-smile on her face. "That would be best. Otherwise... this princess might get angry."

As she said this, she looked at Liu Yu, her eyes clearly filled with jealousy!

"Why are you angry?!" he asked deliberately.

"My precious son has been snatched away by another woman, how can I not be angry!" Su Wanqing said with righteous indignation.

Liu Yu: "...Fine, you win."

Although they were arguing, Liu Yu felt a strange sweetness in his heart.

Time flies, and the day of the welcome party has arrived.

After the final rehearsal in the afternoon, Ms. Xu Yao gave a final pep talk, asking everyone to arrive early in the evening to be ready.

When Liu Yu returned to the dormitory, Du Peng and the other two were already extremely excited.

"Boss! It's all up to you tonight!"

"We got the best seats in the very front row! Six seats! My sister-in-law and the others can sit down right away!"

"We've got glow sticks, light boards, and banners all ready! We have to give our boss the respect he deserves!"

"I even made a banner that says 'Liu Yu, Liu Yu, Number One in the Universe,' how about that, isn't it awesome!"

Liu Yu's lips twitched: "This thing... we don't need it!"

"That won't do!" Du Peng said seriously. "It has to be impressive! Boss, don't worry, we won't disrupt the order. We'll just pull the cart a little when you finish singing!"

At six o'clock in the evening, Liu Yu arrived at the backstage dressing room early.

The makeup artist for the party was a senior student. She was skilled and gave Liu Yu a simple base makeup, shaped his eyebrows, and styled his hair.

"Your junior has such a good foundation, you don't even need much makeup," the makeup artist said with a smile. "Your skin is great too, youth is an asset."

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed.

She changed into her performance outfit: a white hoodie, dark gray sweatpants, and white Air Jordan shoes, which Su Wanqing had given her.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Liu Yu was stunned for a moment.

Fresh, clean, sunny, and with a touch of star quality needed for the stage.

No wonder people say clothes make the man.

Du Ningxuan also came backstage. Seeing Liu Yu, her eyes lit up: "Junior, you look so handsome! This outfit suits you perfectly!"

"Thank you, senior," Liu Yu replied politely.

"Are you nervous?" Du Ningxuan asked.

"A little," Liu Yu said honestly.

"Don't be nervous, you sing so well, you'll definitely be fine," Du Ningxuan encouraged him, then naturally reached out and adjusted the hood of his hoodie. "The hood was a little crooked, this is much better."

Her fingers inadvertently touched the back of Liu Yu's neck.

Liu Yu stiffened, then subtly took a half-step back: "Thank you, senior, but I can do it myself."

Du Ningxuan smiled but didn't say anything, though her eyes deepened.

At that moment, Liu Yu's phone vibrated.

[Tsinghua and Peking University's most beautiful girl with a 36D bust: We've arrived at the venue! Du Peng and his friends got amazing seats! Right in front of the stage!]

[Tsinghua and Peking University's 36D Campus Belle: Have you arrived backstage yet? Are you nervous?!]

[Foot massage therapist #36: We're here, a little bit.]

[A 36D beauty from Tsinghua and Peking Universities: Don't be nervous, sing well. There's a reward for singing well, but if you mess it up... you know the consequences. (knife.jpg)]

[Foot Massage Therapist #36: What reward?!]

[Tsinghua and Peking University beauty queen with 36D bust: It's a secret~ I'll tell you after you finish singing.]

[Tsinghua and Peking University beauty queen with a 36D bust: Keep it up, my boy! Dad's watching you from the audience!]

Liu Yu looked at his phone and smiled.

The tension miraculously subsided considerably.

By 6:50 p.m., the venue was already packed with people.

The six seats occupied by Du Peng and his two companions were in the very center of the first row, which was definitely a prime location.

At 6:55, Su Wanqing, Wang Qian, and Jiang Shan entered the venue.

In that instant, at least dozens of eyes in the vicinity focused on it.

Su Wanqing dressed up carefully today.

A black dress with a V-neck design, featuring a Tiffany smiley face on her slender neck, from the Sixteen Stones collection.

The skirt hem reached mid-thigh, paired with black polka-dot stockings, creating a subtly sexy look.

She wore a pair of black Mary Jane high heels with a slight heel, which accentuated the graceful lines of her calves.

She wore slightly heavier makeup than usual, with her eyeliner slightly upturned, and her long hair was styled into alluring waves that cascaded over her shoulders.

Cool, sexy, and with a touch of allure.

Wang Qian has a sweet style, wearing an exquisite JK uniform: a white shirt, plaid skirt, over-the-knee socks, and small leather shoes, with pigtails, exuding energy.

Jiang Shan, on the other hand, opted for a sporty and casual style, wearing a light gray tracksuit that showed off her long, straight legs, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking refreshing and neat.

The visual impact of three stunningly beautiful women with distinct styles, all possessing striking good looks, appearing together is immense.

Du Peng was stunned, muttering, "Holy crap... Sister-in-law's gone berserk today..."

"Over here!" Du Peng stood up and waved vigorously.

Su Wanqing and the other two saw them and walked over with smiles.

Wherever they went, whispers continued.

"It's Su Wanqing! She looks so beautiful today!"

"Black stockings...I'm dead..."

"That JK girl next to me is so cute!"

Su Wanqing sat in the very center.

Wang Qian sat on her other side, and Jiang Shan sat next to Wang Qian.

"Sister-in-law, you were absolutely amazing today!" Du Peng gave a thumbs up, praising her sincerely.

Su Wanqing smiled slightly: "Thank you. You've chosen very good seats."

"Of course! We arrived two hours early for the boss!" Du Peng said proudly.

Wang Qian leaned closer, her eyes sparkling: "Where's Liu Yu? He's backstage!"

"Yes, I just sent a message saying that I'm preparing," Du Peng said.

Wang Qian cupped her hands around her heart: "I can't wait! I wonder what song he'll sing today. The poster is all so mysterious."

At 7 p.m. sharp, the lights in the venue dimmed and music began to play.

The four hosts walked onto the stage and began their classic opening remarks.

"Respected leaders, teachers, and dear students, good evening!"

"The golden autumn air is crisp and refreshing, the osmanthus blossoms are fragrant, and on this beautiful evening, we gather together in joy..."

"Tonight, youth sets sail here, and dreams blossom here!"

"Now, I declare the Tsinghua-Peking University Welcome Party officially open!"

There was thunderous applause.

The first performance was by the Dynamic Roller Skating Club, which instantly ignited the atmosphere.

Next up was a hot dance performance by the street dance club, sexy and sizzling, eliciting constant screams.

Crosstalk, skits, magic, instrumental ensembles... one program after another, all of very high quality.

The venue was getting more and more crowded; the seats were already full, and the aisles were packed with people.

The atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

While watching the show, Du Peng would tease Wang Qian from time to time, making her giggle.

Time passed second by second.

The program schedule is already halfway through.

The host returned to the stage: "Thank you for the wonderful performance by the choir! I believe many of you have been eagerly anticipating the next program."
