Chapter 26 The Welcome Party Begins
Sunlight streamed onto the playground, signaling the end of military training. The students stood in neat formations, each one upright and spirited, ready to greet the school leaders with their best appearance.
After the inspection, everyone found their class's seats on the playground and sat down in order according to the counselor's arrangement, eagerly anticipating the start of the welcome party. Students with performances went backstage to sign in and prepare. Hu Xike and her classmates, dressed in their rented, exquisite costumes, were sitting in chairs while the makeup artist busily did their makeup. At this moment, a staff member rushed over and loudly asked, "Haven't you submitted your accompaniment yet? You're the opening act, and it starts in fifteen minutes, hurry up and provide the accompaniment!" After saying that, he rushed off to attend to other matters. Hu Xike suddenly remembered that the accompaniment was still in her dormitory! She was extremely anxious and quickly took out her phone to call Luo Li, who hadn't arrived yet: "A Li, are you still in the dormitory? I forgot to bring my accompaniment USB drive, and we need to submit it now, can you bring it to me?"
Luo Li quickly agreed on the other end of the phone. She hadn't gone far from her dorm when she heard Hu Xike's plea for help, so she immediately turned back. Back in her dorm, she frantically searched and finally found the USB drive, then rushed to the sports field without stopping. As she walked, Luo Li anxiously thought to herself, "I have to be quick, I can't be late for the opening performance."
The playground was bustling with activity, the noise of the crowd seemingly urging Luo Li to quicken her pace. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her face filled with anxiety. Just then, she saw a handsome senior riding a bicycle past by the roadside. Ignoring her shyness, Luo Li proactively approached him and asked for a ride. After hearing her story, the senior immediately offered her a ride. During their conversation, she learned that the senior was a second-year student in the Physical Education department, named Xiao Yi, and a member of the school's basketball team.
With Xiao Yi's full help, the accompaniment was finally submitted within the allotted time. The playground was bathed in the soft light of night, its lights shimmering, resembling a dreamlike stage. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, but it couldn't quell the anticipation and excitement in people's hearts.
Hosted by Lin Yu and Su Yao, the welcome party began in grand style. Under the spotlight, Lin Yu, dressed in a sharp suit, was handsome and dashing. His voice was steady and magnetic: "Dear students, on this beautiful night, we welcome the long-awaited welcome party. Let's start this feast of youth together!" Su Yao, dressed in an elegant long dress, was beautiful and charming. She smiled and continued: "Yes, tonight, we will witness the vitality of youth and the blossoming of dreams together. Now, let's welcome the first performance—the hot dance 'Ace of Spades'!"
As the music started, the upbeat rhythm instantly ignited the atmosphere in the entire venue.
Ace of Spades
Lyrics by: Liuli Yue
Composer: Liuli Yue
One two One two three four
Hey Ah Ah You are my baby
The feeling of missing you is playing tricks on me
Baby, baby, let's have a drink
This is your favorite Ace of Spades
Cheers
Ace of Spades
......"
The vibrant melody echoed across the playground.
On stage, Luo Li and Hu Xike, along with six others, wore loose-fitting dance costumes, like dazzling stars. Their eyes were full of confidence and enthusiasm, and every movement was full of power and beauty. To the rhythm of the music, they sometimes leaped lightly, sometimes twisted powerfully, like a group of dancing elves.
The students in the audience were also infected by the joyful atmosphere, swaying to the music. Some students waved their arms to cheer on the performers on stage; others hummed along with the music, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
"This song is so beautiful! And the dance is amazing!" a girl exclaimed excitedly, her eyes glued to the stage, her face filled with rapt attention. She swayed gently to the music, thinking to herself, "I wish I could dance that well."
"I also want to know where I can download this song. And please, a dance video!" another student exclaimed eagerly. He took out his phone, ready to capture this wonderful moment.
The music grew increasingly lively, and the dance reached its climax. Luo Li and the others moved with even greater precision and rhythm, their movements incredibly captivating. The entire playground seemed to transform into a sea of joy, everyone immersed in the wonderful atmosphere.
On this vibrant night, the melody of youth echoed through the campus, and the flame of dreams burned in everyone's heart.
The surrounding environment was lively and vibrant, filled with the cheerful laughter and excited chatter of the students. The stage lights shone brightly, illuminating the entire performance area. The subsequent programs proceeded smoothly, and time slipped away amidst the captivating performances.
Soon, it was the principal and Professor Yan's turn to perform. As the melody of "Brothers, Give Me a Hug" began, its familiar rhythm, like an invisible hand, gently touched everyone's heartstrings. The principal and Professor Yan stood on the stage, their voices filled with sincere emotion. The students below the stage were initially immersed in anticipation for the performance, but as the song progressed, their expressions gradually changed.
"This song...it's so fitting," a classmate murmured, a hint of emotion in his eyes. The classmate next to him nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse, "Yeah, it reminds me of my high school classmates, of the three years we spent together, those days of playing around and studying together. I really miss everyone." Luo Li also put down her phone, listening quietly to the song, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up inside her. She looked at the classmates around her; some had tears in their eyes, others were biting their lips tightly, trying hard to control their emotions.
"Brothers, give me a hug, tell me what's on your mind." This lyric seemed to be a key, unlocking the door to everyone's memories. The students began to recall the past, the days they struggled together, the laughter and tears they shared. Their hearts were filled with nostalgia for the past and anticipation for the future, and this song, like a bond, tightly connected them. By the climax, the audience was filled with tears; the brotherhood felt so real, so deeply moving.
Luo Li stood quietly in the crowd, her eyes slightly closed, completely immersed in the heartfelt melody of "Brothers, Give Me a Hug" performed by the principal and Professor Yan. The stage lights shimmered with vibrant colors, casting shadows of varying brightness on people's faces, as dazzling and enchanting as the colors of youth. The surrounding air seemed to be stirred by the song, creating a lively atmosphere; the students' laughter and cheers rose and fell like waves of joy.
