Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 329 - 136: Zelin, If There’s a Chance, Let’s Go Watch the Meteor Shower Together!
The event started soon.
One by one, the programs unfolded: Swan Lake, plays, stand-up comedy, skits, choir, street dance, piano solo, and even acrobatics...
After all, it was a college-level arts event, rich in variety, with talents from across the school taking the stage, and the quality was a notable step up from department-level shows.
So, standing out on such a grand stage was genuinely challenging. The entertainment departments from various student unions racked their brains to unearth the most talented elites, hoping to bring glory to their respective schools.
Backstage at the event.
When Tao Min found Su Zelin, the slacker was happily taking photos of the girls with a Casio camera.
For this college arts night, he had gained quite a bit, having familiarized himself with nearly all the girls performing after several rehearsals.
Tonight, they were all dolled up, and Teacher Su couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take many photos to enrich his portfolio.
Tao Min felt a bit dizzy.
This is unbelievable! Even though she knew he wasn’t the type to get stage fright, wasn’t he being a bit too relaxed?
Could you at least show a tiny bit of nervousness?
Tao Min dragged him aside, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Senior Sister, I’m taking photos!"
While speaking, Su Zelin grinned and snapped a photo of Tao Min with the Casio.
"I mean, you can’t just run around everywhere; you need to prepare properly!"
"Haha, Senior Sister, I’m actually preparing for the performance. This is how I relax by chatting with others."
Su Zelin said with confidence.
Alright, you’ve got so many excuses, I can’t argue...
"It’s almost time; you need to go put on makeup!"
That was also why Tao Min came to find Su Zelin; his turn to perform was coming up in a few programs.
"Makeup?" Su Zelin chuckled, "I’m naturally good-looking, I don’t need that stuff."
"Don’t be cheeky; everyone who performs has to wear makeup!"
Tao Min dragged Su Zelin to the makeup room, where professional makeup artists were providing makeup for the performers.
The makeup artist looked at Su Zelin, "His skin is great, and his hairstyle is fashionable. No need for makeup."
Tao Min: "..."
Seriously, he really doesn’t need makeup!
Is it that impressive to be handsome with good skin and a trendy hairstyle?
Actually, those who need makeup usually have poor skin conditions, like dull skin, acne, or acne scars, or have lousy hairstyles.
In such cases, the makeup artist needs to change to a more striking hairstyle and use some foundation for concealment.
However, Su Zelin’s skin condition was impeccable, and having had a professional stylist in a previous life as a boss, his sense of personal image was naturally high, making his own hairstyle quite trendy. Thus, the makeup artist deemed it unnecessary to overdo it.
Afraid that Su Zelin would wander off and accidentally miss his cue, Tao Min stopped watching the performances and stayed by Su Zelin’s side. She needed to see him take the stage to feel assured.
After waiting backstage for a while, with just one more program left, Su Zelin handed the Casio to Tao Min, "Senior Sister Tao, could you take a few more photos of me from the audience, and make sure they’re handsome ones!"
"Got it, you want to print them out to impress girls later, right?"
Tao Min teased.
"No way!" Su Zelin naturally wouldn’t admit it, "This is the college arts night! The opportunity is rare; I’m planning to print some to send to my parents, to show them that their son is doing well!"
"Alright, alright, understood, leave it to me. Just do your best and bring honor to our School of Economics and Management!"
Tao Min advised.
Su Zelin gave a thumbs up and smugly declared, "Senior Sister, you’re about to witness how a heartthrob is born!"
"Ugh!"
...
Audience seats at the arts event.
"We’ve been waiting so long, why hasn’t the class leader come on yet?"
"It’s been over twenty programs, right? Come on, class leader!"
"Can’t wait any longer, I just want to see the class leader play the guitar. He was so cool during the last team-building!"
"..."
The first class of the School of Economics and Management was getting a bit anxious.
Though other programs were also wonderful, they mainly came tonight for Su Zelin.
In truth, no matter which class had someone on the big stage at the arts event, others looked forward to it with similar expectations. However, Su Zelin’s popularity meant the first class of Finance and Management had a stronger sense of anticipation and urgency.
At this moment, one program ended, and the female host walked onto the stage again to announce the next act.
"Many say that guys who can play the guitar are the most handsome."
"With a wooden guitar on their back, in this slightly breezy spring night, letting the strings move with their heart, softly humming their favorite song, and quietly experiencing the silent flow of radiance, isn’t it one of the most romantic things?"
"The next program is a guitar solo performance by Su Zelin, a freshman from the first class of Finance and Management, School of Economics and Management. Let’s give a warm round of applause to welcome this handsome guy!"
During several rehearsals, Su Zelin had become acquainted with almost everyone on the arts night team, especially the girls. This female host had been coaxed by the slacker a few times, and she had taken a liking to him, even adding a personal touch to her announcement.
The original final line was "let’s warmly welcome him," but "him" was replaced with "this handsome guy."
As soon as the female host finished the announcement, the first class of Finance and Management erupted.
"It’s the class leader’s turn! Finally, it’s the class leader’s turn!"
Everyone was extremely excited, waving their glow sticks wildly, regardless of being male or female.
Luo Xi immediately took charge, "Everyone, get ready, and maintain formation!"
