Chapter 137 The So-called Graduation Ceremony
The school auditorium is a very old building, and the red bricks exposed in the corners prove its age.
At this time, students from the entire school were sitting in the auditorium. Although it was a bit noisy, the atmosphere was very good.
The blackout curtains were all drawn. The costumes that Linzhou and Jiang Xiyue were wearing for the performance were actually student uniforms from the Republic of China era.
Linzhou, on the other hand, wore gold-rimmed glasses and a suit that looked refined.
Because he looked so handsome dressed like this, Jiang Xiyue's eyes never left him since they entered the auditorium.
"Zhou Zhou, very handsome, he is simply a beast in human clothing."
"You can praise me if you want, why scold me?" Linzhou stretched out his hand and tapped Jiang Xiyue's forehead lightly. He didn't use much force, just the level of bullying a child.
But Jiang Xiyue raised his head, looked at him seriously, and began to explain.
“This is obviously a compliment.”
After hearing the expected explanation, Linzhou reached out and pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses that had slid down his nose. His expression became serious. After hearing this, he was no longer sleepy.
He has scolded countless people because of this...
"The term 'beast in human clothing' refers to the patch on the clothes of officials in the Qing Dynasty, which usually had patterns of birds or animals, so it was originally used to distinguish the ranks of officials."
Seeing Linzhou’s serious look, the girl nodded vigorously, indicating that he should continue.
It's rare to see Zhou Zhou being so serious, so of course I have to watch him for a while longer...
So... In the girl's expectant eyes, Linzhou continued, "But later, because the officials were corrupt and servile people were in power, the people complained and called them beasts in human clothing."
The girl held her chin with both hands, and her eyes began to shine. Zhou Zhou looked so handsome with glasses.
With the addition of the love filter, Linzhou now becomes the polite teacher in the private school in the past.
But Linzhou did not finish and continued speaking.
"Oh, right, in fact, this word has been used in a derogatory sense in the Erke Paian Chuanqi. This is from the Ming Dynasty. The original words are... not only a beast among human clothing, but also a jackal among beasts."
"Well, but why did you say the source is the Qing Dynasty..." Jiang Xiyue was like a curious baby, determined to get to the bottom of it.
When Linzhou wanted to answer, the students next to him couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He reached out and pushed Linzhou aside.
"It's fine if you two usually make progress together, but isn't it inappropriate for you to roll us up now?"
"This is not a scroll, this is normal popular science." Linzhou curled his lips and did not continue speaking, but the connection between beasts in human clothing and official uniforms did indeed start in the Qing Dynasty.
…
When Linzhou was trying to trace the origin of this idiom using his knowledge, Jiang Xiyue beside him had already clenched her teeth and the poster in her hand was gradually folded into a long strip.
Does this student not understand the atmosphere? The key to this problem is not learning, but that she wants to listen to Linzhou's talk.
So the girl stood up from her seat and walked up to the male classmate.
"Just bear with it, it's normal to feel dizzy."
The weapon made of paper hit the boy's head with a bang, and then Jiang Xiyue explained why she hit him, "Dear classmate Wang, can't you read the atmosphere?"
The female classmates sitting around had smiles on their faces. They naturally knew why Jiang Xiyue was angry.
They all gave the comment that it was what they deserved.
If you interrupt a couple who are kissing, you deserve to be beaten. But Jiang Xiyue was just joking. If she was serious, the boy would have been hit on the head with a folding stool...
However, after hearing Jiang Xiyue's words, the male student who was hit immediately realized what had just happened and continued to make his own profound comments.
"You two should just be friends, why are you talking about these things?"
Hearing these words deliberately spoken in dialect, Jiang Xiyue suddenly laughed, then stood on tiptoe to look towards the door of the auditorium.
The security guard was standing there, pulling a small flatbed cart in his hands, and walking straight towards them.
Then, the old man stood in front of Linzhou and said, "I have delivered the sixty cold drinks to you. Remember to give the delivery guy a good review."
"Thank you, uncle!" Lin Zhou readily picked up a cup of cold drink and stuffed it into the uncle's hand. "It's hot, you should have a drink too."
If it were any other time, the old man would definitely not deliver it, but because it was a graduation ceremony, and Linzhou had informed him in advance, the security guard was considerate enough to deliver it.
Then Linzhou distributed it to his classmates and teachers one by one.
When giving the money to the teachers, I specifically told them that I earned the money myself so that they could rest assured.
Students from other classes soon noticed that there was a class where everyone was drinking cold drinks and even eating small sundaes.
After a little inquiry, I found out that it was bought by the squad leader.
Then, similar voices appeared in other classes.
"Squad leader, look at us. If you don't wear a skirt to dance today, we will not forgive you..."
…
While Linzhou was secretly eating melons everywhere, the voice of an announcement was heard from the stage.
"Please invite high school graduates Jiang Xiyue and Linzhou to come on stage and sing for everyone... Sir, you can't do that."
As professional broadcasting students, the two hosts on the stage paused obviously before reading out the song title. The occasion was quite serious. Is it really okay to sing something like this?
But since it's written down, there should be no problem.
After hearing the sound, Linzhou walked to the stage first, climbed up directly, and then reached out to pull Jiang Xiyue up.
This unique way of going on stage quickly attracted the attention of some classmates.
The two walked hand in hand to the host and reached out to take the microphone.
Because of the last broadcast incident, most people have remembered Lin Zhou, and after hearing the name, they also turned their eyes to the stage.
After a little preparation, Linzhou picked up the microphone.
"Ahem, hello everyone, I'm Lin Zhou, and the girl next to me is my female ...classmate. Since we're about to graduate, I'd like to sing something happy for everyone."
There were also booing sounds coming from below the stage.
"Nonsense! She's obviously my girlfriend, why don't you dare to admit it in front of the teacher?"
"Well... I'm being reserved. I'm shy." Linzhou answered fluently and gave a thumbs up to the sound teacher. The newly replaced equipment in the auditorium soon produced the sound of accompaniment.
Jiang Xiyue held the microphone with both hands, nodded gently, and when the prelude ended, she made a very sweet sound.
"Sir, no, you're getting closer♪~"
