After Cheng Ran said this, Xiao Yao, Luo Youwei and others were stunned. Fan Xin also tilted his head and looked at him with half-squinted eyes. The atmosphere was unusually solemn.
Then the lights came back on, the song stopped, and everyone turned to look at the platform.
On the sofa on the platform, the man named Liu Jin took the microphone and faced the crowd, "Okay, okay, it's time for the reserved program again. The ghosts and wolves howling just now need to quiet down. Don't forget our purpose today, which is to celebrate something!"
He waved his hand, and everyone looked at him with interest. The atmosphere became more lively as the wine glasses clinked and clashed. Now was the time to add to the fun.
Liu Jin held the microphone in one hand and stretched out his other hand to the side. "The reason why I asked everyone to come and play today is to celebrate, to celebrate my good buddy Xie Feibai!"
Xie Feibai, who was sitting on the sofa and listening to him with a smile, was caught off guard. In front of everyone, he pointed at himself with a look of confusion on his face.
He made a face to Liu Jin to ask for advice, to celebrate... what
Liu Jin continued laughing, "My good brother Xie Feibai has never cared about the class. He never did the test papers before... In this final exam of the first high school, he ranked in the top 300 from the bottom... He won the 'most improved award' of the first high school. Don't be modest and don't deny it!"
There were a lot of "Oh!" sounds all around. Xie Feibai looked extremely embarrassed. He thought it was a big deal. After all, so-called celebrations were usually birthdays or something like that. This group of people were actually interested in celebrating his school award. "What's there to celebrate..."
If it was an occasion like this, or something like that, to celebrate an exam, who cares, it's not a gathering of top students... But if the person being celebrated was Xie Feibai, then the situation would be different. It was like some phenomena in later generations when people became wealthy, and families with good conditions would hold a one-year-old party for their children, completely Western-style, with luxury cars, and everyone in formal attire. Those who didn't know would think they were attending a state banquet, but compared to what was happening right now, it was just a big deal.
Liu Jin made a big deal out of organizing a so-called celebration banquet, but the people present thought it was natural.
There was a moment when Xie Feibai felt somewhat touched.
God knows how much perseverance he had to climb from the bottom to the top 300 in a semester. It was mainly because he thought of Cheng Ran and had a spirit of not admitting defeat. It was all supported by this spirit.
It was only 300th place, which seemed nothing to brag about to others. But Xie Feibai was different. Every step of this semester was a climb to overcome laziness and fear of difficulties. It was all due to the pride in my heart, but later I found a way. Suddenly I felt that answering questions after reading a lot of books was a very fulfilling thing.
So in fact, although he acts as if he doesn't care verbally, he values the award and the results of his hard work more than anyone else.
"Tell me about it..." Liu Jin handed over the microphone and added, "How did you cheat? To cheat in so many subjects, did you bribe the person at the next table?"
The audience burst into laughter instantly.
This is how the atmosphere is created.
Liu Jin looked at the laughter and occasional whistles in the audience with pride, then he turned around and saw Xie Feibai's visibly frozen face.
For a moment, Liu Jin felt like he had screwed up. But it didn't make sense. Didn't you know what was going on with Xie Feibai? How could you have gone from the bottom of the grade to the top 300, and even to a key high school like No. 1 High School? At least the things Liu Jin heard from others were all told in a joking tone. Liu Jin felt that Xie Feibai should also be proud of this. What a great bargain he had picked up, so he should come out and talk about it, right
Xie Feibai was holding the microphone, and a tall man next to him hugged his shoulders and laughed, "Your cheating skills are really high... You did it so well that No. 1 Middle School gave you the 'Most Improved Award'! This can be considered a great achievement for you, and you can brag about it for the rest of your life!"
Then Xie Feibai saw the groups of people in front of him smiling and looking at him.
He suddenly realized that no one believed he could do this. The information Liu Jin and his men had received was leaked by someone from the First High School. What they were now suspicious of was actually the thoughts of everyone around him. It was just that those people didn't dare to express it, and he was still in the dark.
He thought about how he felt when he was standing on the podium, and he felt an unprecedented surge of emotions, which now combined with everything else, was just a shame.
It turned out that everyone was laughing at him from below.
Xie Feibai's hands were shaking as he held the microphone, but he couldn't get angry in front of those people who had just come to meet him and toasted him. In fact, he was not that unkind, and he didn't want everyone to think he was an alien. The feeling just now was good, everyone was very polite to him, and they talked very harmoniously.
He didn't want to ruin the feeling he had just had.
So we can only go along with it.
"Tell me, tell me... Is there a beautiful woman next to you?"
Those who make these noises usually think that they grew up with him and know him very well.
Xie Feibai smiled and said, "She's a beauty, so beautiful... I asked her to copy it for me, and she really copied it for me."
Some people in the audience started to make a fuss, while others frowned privately, feeling that it seemed to have gone beyond the scope of a joke.
"And my teacher in the exam room, I just put the papers in front of me and copy them, and no one dared to stop me." Xie Feibai said calmly, with a symbolic smile from below.
"Alright, alright, that's enough..." Liu Jin was no fool, he had already noticed something was wrong and was about to grab Xie Feibai's microphone, but he was avoided by him.
"It's not easy to copy from so many subjects. The young lady won't let me copy all of them, so I'll threaten the people next to me... Anyway, there are all top students around me. If they don't let me copy, I'll have plenty of ways later..."
No one was laughing or agreeing at this moment.
What a joke... What's the point of working hard? Why bother working hard? If Xie Houming can arrange a good life for him in the future, then he is awesome. If Xie Houming can't guarantee him wealth and glory, then it's his fault.
I don't need to work hard, it seems that I have never achieved anything since I was a child. Xie Houming has a halo on his head, which is unavoidable. No matter what you do, you can't get rid of his shadow.
Xie Feibai was desperate and kept talking, but all his words exuded the malice of a playboy.
When the whole situation has reached freezing point,
When Fan Xin saw Cheng Ran moving beside him, he stepped forward. Luo Youwei was startled and reached out to grab him, but caught nothing.
Then everyone looked at this sudden figure, who separated the crowd from under the pool, walked onto the stage, came in front of Xie Feibai, stretched out his hand, and patted him on the shoulder.
"That's enough."
Xie Feibai stopped talking, raised his head, and looked at Cheng Ran with sore eyes in disbelief.
"Ah... it's you... you're everywhere..."
"You did very well on the test. You've had too much to drink. If you don't want to stay here, go home early."
Cheng Ran said, "I'm leaving, do you want to go?"
Then he turned around, waved to Cheng Xiang and Li Yu, and walked straight to the door of the box.
During this process, everything was silent.
Everyone opened their mouths slightly and turned their heads to follow him.
Xie Feibai stumbled to his feet, said "sorry", pulled his coat out from under the person sitting next to him, and chased after him.
"I'll go with you!"
