The second and third floors are elevated, so if someone were to bring binoculars, they would likely be disappointed, as the location is not ideal for them to use the binoculars to view the scenery that the girls occasionally lift up their skirts.

This cultural performance included dance programs, and most of the girls who dared to perform in this way were quite confident in their looks and figures.

Barring any stage mishaps, the girls who performed on stage should easily become campus goddesses after this talent show, and be able to deceive the feelings of young boys.

However, Ye Ziye wouldn't fall for that. As I said before, he had seen the best and naturally wouldn't be interested in the lower-level ones. Even if a girl went on stage to dance, it wouldn't attract his attention.

He was more interested in the costumes for the event than the girls; the stage for the cultural performance was very elaborate, as were the costumes in other areas.

As a member of the student council, he knew how much funding was available for this event. If all of it were put out, it would probably only cover basic renovations. So, the current results were mostly due to Kaguya Shinomiya paying for it herself.

For Kaguya Shinomiya, money is the easiest thing to obtain; her monthly allowance is probably enough for an ordinary person to live frugally for a lifetime.

However, she was absolutely serious about this event. While Fujiwara Chika and Yoru were both busy with their own things, this girl took on most of the work.

Ye Ziye still admires Kaguya Shinomiya; she has a kind of heroine who is just as capable as any man.

It's a pity that Kaguya Shinomiya won't be performing on stage this time; otherwise, with her looks and talent, she would definitely shine on this stage.

However, Kaguya Shinomiya probably doesn't need this opportunity to stand out, as she is already a popular figure at school.

After looking around the auditorium for a while, Ye Ziye walked up to the smiling Kaguya Shinomiya. He hadn't forgotten why he came here.

Upon seeing Ye Ziye, Kaguya Shinomiya, with a professional smile on her face, was initially taken aback before speaking.

"Ye Zi, what brings you here?"

"I've come to see if there's anything I can help with; there's still some time before the show starts."

"help?"

Kaguya Shinomiya thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"You don't need any help. I've had everything taken care of by others. Yezi, you just need to focus on your performance!"

Ye Ziye understood that the "others" Shinomiya Kaguya was referring to were probably the bodyguards and maids in her house.

It must be said that, in terms of capitalism, Kaguya Shinomiya is far more entrenched in it than Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Is there anything I can help with..."

Ye Ziye took a deep breath, somewhat regretting arriving so early. She wished she could have rested in the Service Department.

However, it's not long before the performance starts, and once the class leaders go back and inform the students where to sit, the auditorium will soon be full.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go backstage to change my clothes."

Ye Ziye lifted the bag in her hand and gestured to Shinomiya Kaguya that it was the costume for the performance.

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded. As the student council president, she had seen many people wearing all sorts of gifts during the rehearsal a few days ago, so she was used to it.

However, Yoko Yoru and Yukino Yukinoshita did not participate in the rehearsal at that time, and she still had some expectations in her heart.

"I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye to Kaguya Shinomiya, Ye Ziye left with the bag. He remembered that there was a small dark room behind the stage, which was used by the performers to rest.

There shouldn't be anyone using it now, so it's no big deal for him to go change his clothes. Besides, as a man, he's not afraid of being seen by others.

However, he was still curious about one thing: he hadn't seen Fujiwara Chika since he came in.

You should know that this girl is a host, she should have been here much earlier, not to mention that Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya are such good friends.

Normally, these two girls should have been inseparable by now, and Fujiwara Chika would have even shown off her dress to Ye Ziye.

Fujiwara Chika is certainly capable of doing something like this.

Shaking his head, Ye Ziye walked into the small dark room. There was no one there, and he didn't think too much about it. Fujiwara Chika was a big person, she couldn't possibly get lost, and she would naturally appear when the time came.

With that thought, he felt relieved and prepared to change his clothes.

He had practiced wearing a suit many times and was already very skilled at it. In addition, Yukino Yukinoshita changed her suit tie to a bow tie for his convenience.

According to Yukino Yukinoshita, the tie and the bow are the same; the girls in the audience won't pay attention to those things anyway, they'll only look at Yoko Yoru's face.

After changing his clothes, Ye Ziye carefully put them away, turned around, and walked out of the small dark room.

However, when he came out, he saw Fujiwara Chika, whom he had been thinking about, but this usually optimistic and cheerful girl looked flustered.

Chapter 179

Fujiwara Chika wore a long purple silk dress, revealing her delicate collarbone and a hint of her snow-white skin.

Because of the long dress, Fujiwara Chika's figure was beautifully showcased, and her tank-like feminine features drew the eye.

Her rounded shoulders were also very pleasing to the eye. Originally, this girl's face should have been filled with a cute and innocent smile, which would have matched Ye Ziye's impression.

However, at this moment, Fujiwara Chika seemed somewhat aggrieved, and more so flustered. She was grabbing Shinomiya Kaguya's arm and talking incessantly, looking completely lost.

Kaguya Shinomiya also frowned, as if Chika Fujiwara was saying something unpleasant.

Seeing the two girls behaving so strangely, Ye Ziye became worried and quickly stepped forward.

"Secretary Fujiwara, what happened?"

Ye Ziye's sudden voice caught both girls off guard, and they were even more stunned to see him dressed in a suit.

Normally, Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya might have offered a few words of praise, but today, both girls quickly realized what was happening and stopped being so infatuated.

Upon hearing Ye Ziye's question, Fujiwara Chika sniffed and said with a hint of grievance,

"Just now, my partner had an accident, so I might be the only one hosting on stage in a bit, but I haven't reviewed his part of the script at all..."

"Something went wrong?"

Ye Ziye frowned. This word was rarely seen at Shuchiin Academy, a school known for its safety.

"Yes, he wasn't watching where he was going while memorizing his lines and fell down the stairs. I heard he broke his leg and has already been taken away by ambulance..."

Ye Ziye remained silent, and Shinomiya Kaguya also touched her forehead, seemingly somewhat helpless.

This accident was truly unexpected. A high school student actually fell down because he wasn't looking where he was going, and ended up with a broken bone. The most crucial point is that the timing was just too coincidental.

Judging from Fujiwara Chika's expression, this must have just happened. Some teachers probably don't even know about it yet, so changing the person now is wishful thinking.

Not to mention that this is a host job, and the cultural performance is about to start in twenty minutes. If we go looking for people now, we won't even have time to prepare costumes.

The sound of footsteps could already be heard outside the auditorium. It was estimated that the classes would be entering soon, so finding a replacement at this point was simply wishful thinking.

Even Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't do this, which is why she's worried.

The footsteps outside the auditorium grew increasingly hurried, like a resounding bell striking the hearts of the three student council members. Instead of invigorating them, the footsteps only made them feel irritable and powerless.

Fujiwara Chika pouted. Her partner was injured, and when she went on stage alone, she wouldn't be able to string her lines together, let alone make the performance flow smoothly.

Although she usually seemed a bit silly, she could tell that Kaguya Shinomiya valued this arts festival highly and wanted it to proceed smoothly under the student council's guidance.

As a good friend, she wanted to help, so she worked hard to memorize her lines, trying to make herself look more natural and make the event better.

But the situation is so sudden that it has disrupted all plans.

The injury of a stranger caused the student council's preparations to go to waste, because with only one host on stage, any normal person could tell something was wrong.

Kaguya Shinomiya kept her brows furrowed, holding Chika Fujiwara's hand tightly.

She wouldn't blame the girl next to her, or even the injured person, because no one did it on purpose; everyone wanted to make the event better.

If anyone has a problem, it's just bad luck.

It's just a pity for Fujiwara Chika. Her partner is injured, and it must be very awkward for her to host the show alone. You know, this girl usually hates these kinds of awkward situations the most.

"Secretary Fujiwara, do you have another set of lines?"

Ye Ziye stroked his chin and asked Fujiwara Chika, "Now that things have come to this, only I can step up."

With his excellent learning skills, he has a great memory; he can memorize a host's lines after just one glance.

However, he also lacked experience in hosting, and it's important to know that acting and hosting are two completely different things.

But since things had come to this point, he could only force himself to take the lead.

In the past, he would have definitely chosen to mind his own business, since he wouldn't be the one feeling awkward. But now, after being in this world for so long, he has changed a lot.

This event involves many things: the dedication of the two girls from the Student Council, and the wish of the two girls from the Service Department to successfully complete the commission.

Ye Ziye didn't want Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara's efforts to go to waste, nor did she want Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama's expectations to be dashed.

If he were just a spectator, he certainly wouldn't meddle, but this time he's not a spectator, he's a party involved.

"His lines are in my script, but what do you need them for?"

"Take a look, and I'll go up with you to host the event later."

Ye Ziye said something indifferently, and took the script from Fujiwara Chika and began to read it word by word.

Fujiwara Chika was somewhat surprised, as she found Ye Ziye's statement completely impossible.

"This is the first time you've seen these lines, and the two of us haven't rehearsed them before. It's definitely not going to work for you to go up there."

"Yes, Yezi, you shouldn't push yourself in this matter."

Kaguya Shinomiya was also trying to persuade them, hoping that the event would go smoothly, but since it had already happened, there was no point in trying to make amends.

"Whether it works or not, we should at least give it a try. We can't let you go up alone, right? It'll be awkward if you go up alone, but if two people go up together, you'll have someone to share the awkwardness with, so it won't be too embarrassing."

Ye Ziye smiled and said something somewhat awkward, then silently put the script back into Fujiwara Chika's hands.

It has to be said that learning skills is very effective; he memorized everything after only reading it once.

Fujiwara Chika opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She was actually quite scared to face so many people's gazes alone. Now that Ye Ziye was with her, she felt much more at ease.

Kaguya Shinomiya did the same; looking at Yoko, the girl ultimately said nothing.

"Ye Zi, are you really willing to come up with me?"

Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened. She didn't believe that Ye Ziye could memorize all the lines after only reading them once. She preferred to believe that the boy did this so that she wouldn't have to face that situation alone.

For some reason, Fujiwara Chika felt a sense of protection, and her heart warmed. A warm current flowed through her entire body, and the gloom in her mood seemed to have lifted a lot.

"Of course I'd like to. Didn't you see I've already changed my clothes?"

Ye Ziye, who had previously sworn not to joke, made another little joke, but this time the joke was much more effective than the previous two.

At least both girls laughed, and they laughed very happily.

"Ye Zi, thank you for being willing to stay with me..."
