Marriage (1)

The music finally came to a halt and the four people stopped dancing.

Fu Songhua stood straight in the back, Ruan Qingmu and Qin Yuan stood back to back on two sides, the three people crowding around Fang Li in the front.

Fang Li knelt on one knee and tilted his head slightly toward the front.

As the last drumbeat dropped, the four guys raised their hands in a gun grip and fired a shot in different directions before withdrawing their hands and making an arrogant gesture of blowing off the smoke from the muzzle!

Fu Songhua’s expression was painstakingly provocative and Fang Li’s smile was flirtatious. In contrast, Ruan Qingmu and Qin Yuan’s expressions were both cold and intense, in remarkable likeness to the four beautiful Charlie’s Angels.

The curtain slowly fell and the laughter, shouts, and applause exploded in the audience. Everyone stood up and cheered at the already darkened stage.

Li Si and the male host walked onstage next and smilingly began their closing speech. “Dear students, we are reluctant to say farewell to the very last show. Now…”

“Encore! Encore!” The time was still eleven o’clock and a big mass of students was still vigorously and madly demanding more.

Li Si helplessly looked at the male host for a while: What encore, ah? This wasn’t a professional concert. They needed to prepare for a very long time for one performance. Where in the world would there be an encore?

Both of them paused and waited for everyone to calm down, but the shouts below the stage became louder and louder and more insistent.

Li Si and the boy lowered their heads to discuss before she carried her long skirt and ran backstage. The male host stood there and faintly smiled. “Okay. Everyone, please be patient. We will invite the newly debuted girl group Charlie’s Angel to return to the stage, okay?”

“Hahaha!” The boys and girls frantically burst out laughing. What the hell? Charlie’s Angel?!

The four people had just walked off stage to their dressing rooms. Bai Jing and the others hurried to run over and handed coats over to them. “Quick, quick, drape these on you. Make sure you don’t catch a cold.”

Although the auditorium had air conditioning and the students were all hot enough to wear thin sweaters as they sat below the stage, it was winter outside and the heating backstage was insufficient. Qin Yuan and the others were only wearing thin women’s skirts and otherwise, naked inside and their bodies were chilled by the slightest breeze as soon as they stepped off stage.

Qin Yuan reached out to take Ruan Qingmu’s thick coat and helped him drape it over his body before putting on his jacket. Next to him, Fu Songhua clumsily zipped up Fang Li’s long coat while running around in circles. “Where are the pants? What’s the use of jackets only!?”

Fang Li’s face flushed red and it was unknown whether it was from the cosmetics or dancing. He whispered, “I’m not cold. I’m sweating heavily from all that dancing.”

The performing students at the side curiously approached them one by one and some had already come up to their faces.

One basketball player howled with laughter while embracing Fu Songhua. “Is this really Old Fu? Fuck. I have to take a picture with you. If not, I will die regretting it.”

Fu Songhua lifted his leg and his short skirt was exposed beneath the thick jacket, baring his thigh. “I will break our relationship if you dare to take a picture. Unless the mountain has no edges, and heaven and earth are in harmony*, I won’t fucking contact you anymore!”

*T/N: The original line is “山无棱,天地合,才敢与君绝” which means I dare not abandon my love for you until the mountains are gone until heaven and earth meet and join together. This is a folk song from the Han Dynasty, written by an unknown author.

The boy opposite him suddenly shouted, “Old Fu, you’re exposing yourself!”

Fu Songhua was startled and hurriedly clamped his thigh. “Where?”

The several boys opposite laughed until trembling. “Old Fu, your head is exposed. Your wig has fallen…”

Fang Li bent down to pick up his fallen wavy hair and couldn’t help but burst out in laughter too.

Fu Songhua was about to pounce over and wrestle with several boys, but upon seeing Fang Li’s smiling face, his heart shook. He turned around and moved close to Fang Li, currying favor by whispering, “Ignore these scumbags. Let’s go change out of these outfits.”

Even if they were draped with jackets on the upper side, their lower bodies were still exposed. When the breeze blew like this, it was really bone-chilling.

At the side, Ruan Qingmu frowned and suddenly raised his hands to rub his eyes, but Qin Yuan’s hand quickly grabbed his wrist. “The fake lashes are still there. If you rub your eyes now, you’ll hurt yourself.”

Ruan Qingmu glared daggers at him. “It’s so itchy. What rogue gouache is this? It’s not natural at all. Will I be allergic to this?!”

A girl at the side covered her mouth to laugh. “What do you mean by rogue gouache? This is called foundation.”

Qin Yuan’s expression was grave and slightly nervous. “It’s all famous brand name makeup. I entrusted Secretary Gao to buy a brand-new set. It should be allergy-free, all right?”

Ruan Qingmu put on a sad face. “Then, let’s hurry up to remove the makeup.”

These fake lashes were so uncomfortable, ahhhh. He couldn’t help but rub it just now, so it might have been moved around. Whenever he blinked, it managed to somehow poke him in the eye.

Qin Yuan contained his smile and coaxed him with a soft voice, “It’s better to change into winter clothes first. Don’t want to catch a cold.”

Ruan Qingmu vigorously blinked and suddenly became determined. “I can’t. I will get rid of these things first!”

As he was about to tug at it, Fang Li at the side was startled and hurried to pull his hand. “Ruan-ge, don’t! You need to use a special makeup remover liquid for this. If you pull it directly, your original eyelashes will be torn from your eyelids.”

Ruan Qingmu glared at him and gritted his teeth. “Fang Li, I’m telling you, don’t scare me. I’m already scared enough.”

Suddenly, Bai Jing at the side shouted, “Fuck. In the real-time voting board, you guys have already surpassed the second place by eight hundred votes!”

Everyone was watching the show just now and didn’t have time to check the post, but now that they happened to have nothing to do while waiting, the forum had exploded.
