Chapter 126: What Am I Performing? Breaking Rocks in My Chest?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When the exam results came out, Lu Xiaocha was indeed at the bottom of the class.

Fortunately, she had gotten a few of her multiple-choice questions right this time. She had also written a lot of Chinese, so she was only third from the bottom.

She was relieved to see her results ranking.

“Thank goodness. I thought I would be last from the bottom.”

Lu Beichen looked at the horrible red crosses on her paper.

The corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly at her words.

“You’re three points higher than the second last and five points higher than the last!”

Lu Xiaocha was relieved. “It’s okay. I’ve improved by more than 90 points since my first exam.”

The teacher looked at Lu Xiaocha and was worried. The siblings looked exactly the same. Why was the difference in their grades so big?

Lu Beichen was still the top student in the cohort for this exam. He was the teacher’s favorite.

“Lu Xiaocha, learn more from your brother. Don’t always sleep.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded obediently. Yes, yes, yes.

The teacher was also afraid of hurting her confidence, so he praised her encouragingly.

“Keep it up. There’s plenty of room for improvement.”

That was standard praise for a slacker.

If she scored so little, how could there not be a lot of room for improvement?

Class Two…

Pei Xue looked at her ranking. She was tenth in her grade.

She breathed a sigh of relief. This was a huge improvement. After all this time dealing with it, her relationship with her classmates was finally back to the way it used to be.

Looking at Lu Xiaocha’s results, her eyes flashed with joy.

As expected, she came from an orphanage. Her studies were so bad.

“Buzz…”

Her phone suddenly vibrated. Pei Xue took it out and saw that it was a message from her mother.

Mom [I asked you to observe Lu Xiaocha’s route home every time. Did you do it?]

Pei Xue [I did. When she went back, she usually walked back. She took Linjiang Road, but Beichen would always follow her.]

Mom [Is there any way to stall Lu Beichen and let that little b*tch go back alone?]

Pei Xue’s eyes flickered. [During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school prepared an art performance. Beichen should be chosen as the emcee. He has to go to rehearsals a lot.]

Mom [Okay, keep an eye out. Let me know when that little b*tch is alone.]

Pei Xue asked curiously, [Mom, what are you going to do?]

Mom [You just need to do your job and stay out of my business.]

Pei Xue [I understand.]

Pei Qin did not reply, but Pei Xue knew that her mother was definitely thinking of a way to deal with Lu Xiaocha.

Her heart thumped at the thought of this. If only… If only she could really make Lu Xiaocha disappear.

She deleted all the messages from her conversation with her mother on the phone, eagerly waiting for something.

After the results were sent out, Pei Xue bribed someone to ask Class One for information.

Lu Xiaocha had done so badly and had been in the limelight several times. She should be mocked now.

However, the news she heard almost made her explode.

No, the people in Class One did not mock Lu Xiaocha’s results. Instead, they had a good relationship with her.

How could this be?

Pei Xue’s expression was twisted with jealousy.

How could she easily get everything she couldn’t get without doing anything and with such bad grades? And the image she had worked so hard for was destroyed in one go!

Pei Xue clenched her fingers.

…

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. The form teachers of each class were also talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival event in class.

“The school is preparing to make the Mid-Autumn Festival event bigger this time. Every class must have a collective program. This Literature and Art Committee member will discuss this with the students. In addition, anyone who wants to participate can also sign up…”

After the class ended, the form teacher said, “Lu Beichen, come with me.”

Lu Beichen was the most outstanding student in the class. The school would think of him for every event.

Coupled with the fact that he was handsome, an emcee was the perfect role for him.

As soon as Lu Beichen and the form teacher left, the students in the class started chattering.

“Sister Xiaocha, guess why the head teacher called your brother out?”

Lu Xiaocha, who was secretly eating potato chips, turned around with something in her mouth.

“How should I know?”

Gu Xiao said, “Don’t just eat. Use your head to think!”

“Pay?” Lu Chacha asked.

Gu Xiao was speechless.

How does your brain work? He thought.

“Stupid, you don’t even know that. The emcee of this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival event must be your brother again. He might even be performing. I reckon he’s playing the piano.”

Lu Beichen was the prodigy of the entire school and the Prince Charming in the hearts of all the girls in the junior high school.

Every time the school had an event, they would drag him to play the piano. The young man sitting under the light was elegant and cold. His body seemed to be glowing.

He was definitely the face of the school.

“Would you like to perform at the Mid-Autumn Festival this year? There must be other programs in our class besides class monitor.”

Lu Xiaocha looked at him from the corner of her eyes. “What should I perform? Breaking a rock in my chest?”

The surrounding students were speechless.

Aren’t you a little too clear on your position?

“Dance! You’re so good-looking. You’re so good-looking just by standing on the stage.

Lu Xiaocha shook her head three times and refused. “No, no, no. I can’t dance.”

Unknowingly, the other students in the class also surrounded her.

“If not, you can learn. Every class has to prepare a class program. What should our class prepare? We don’t want a chorus, that would be too old-fashioned.”

“Exactly. A lot of classes halfheartedly prepare a chorus every time. We have to be unique.”

“How about a group dance? How about a street dance?”

“No. That one’s a little difficult to learn. Not many people in our class know how to do it.”

“Then maybe a play.”

Everyone discussed animatedly. In the end, the Literature and Art Committee member simply took a notebook and wrote down everyone’s proposed performance project before writing on the blackboard for everyone to participate in the vote.

In the end, the play won.

“But what play are we going to perform?”

“Why don’t we adapt one ourselves and discuss it together?”

The discussion went on for two days, and eventually, the adapted story was agreed upon by everyone.

“This one’s not bad. This one will do. Hahaha…”

Of course, it wasn’t how good the story was that made them so happy. It was purely because the script was lame.

Lu Xiaocha asked, “Can I not participate?”

She didn’t want to perform.

“No way!”

The person with the greatest reaction was the Literature and Art Committee member. She pounced over and hugged Lu Xiaocha.

“The others could do without, Xiaocha, but not you.”

Lu Xiaocha’s eyes widened. “Why! Why can’t I slack off!”

It was just too much. Wouldn’t it be nice for her to be down there eating snacks and watching the show?

“No, no. The role of the princess is specially prepared for you. You and the class monitor can make our class look good. The effect of going on stage will definitely shock the entire school!”
