Chapter 8: The Evil Conspiracy of the Gaudy Uniforms 1
"Ding Xiaoxiao!" A huge shout suddenly exploded in my ears, accompanied by a large basin of cold water poured over my head.
"Ah! Here!" I screamed reflexively, feeling as if I was drenched in cold water from head to toe.
"You have plenty of time, eh? Have you done all the movements correctly?" When I looked up, I saw senior Duana holding a washbasin and glaring at me fiercely. Her big watery eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets.
"Uh...I..." I was so frightened by Senior Anna's look that I couldn't even speak clearly.
"You! What do you mean by 'you'? Have you finished all the moves I taught you?" Senior Duana didn't care whether I was scared to death or shocked silly by her, and she was still aggressive.
"No, no..." I lowered my head. I had no choice but to lower my head, because I was really in the wrong!
"Do you know? Why don't you do it? Are you still sleeping? If you continue to sleep, the whole cheerleading team will be embarrassed by you. Do you have any awareness of this?" Senior Anna must have learned the earth-shattering voice. I felt like the whole gymnasium was shaking.
"Yes! Yes!" I didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly continued the unfinished training.
Training is sometimes like a road to hell. I naively thought I could get through it easily, but the cruel world always makes things difficult for me. Just now, after a lot of basic training, I finally... took advantage of the time when Senior Duana was not around and fell asleep!
I really only wanted to sleep for 10 minutes, but I ended up sleeping for so long.
"Hey, why didn't you call me? I said we would only rest for 10 minutes!" I pushed Xiaoshuang's arm and complained.
"I called you! I called you very loudly, but you didn't wake up! Senior Anna came to call you in person, but you didn't get up. How can you blame me? Otherwise, why would I have poured water on you?" Xiao Shuang pouted, looking very aggrieved.
Ever since Senior Sister Duanna agreed to Wei Tingyi's request to pay special attention to me and train me, my life has become more difficult. Senior Sister Anna has a strong sense of responsibility and strives for perfection for me. She doesn't give me any chance to be lazy and wastes her precious time every day to supervise me.
But thanks to Senior Anna, Xu Yasha rarely bothers me.
"Anna, ask Ding Xiaoxiao to do the required movements for me." Before I could finish expressing my gratitude, Xu Yasha's charming voice appeared in front of everyone. She had a devilish smile on her face and looked at me with deliberate contempt.
"Do it now? Isn't there still some time before the opening ceremony?" Senior Anna looked at Xu Yasha suspiciously and asked back.
"I want to see how far Ding Xiaoxiao can go. If it really doesn't work, I still have a chance to adjust my dance steps, right?" Xu Yasha was full of vigor and it was obvious that she wanted to embarrass me.
"But..." Senior Anna still wanted to speak for me.
"Senior, stop talking. I'll just dance." I stood in front of senior Anna and took over the conversation.
With the lively music and the cheerleaders watching me, I put all my effort into the dance and completed the required moves. Although the moves were not particularly difficult, it was quite impressive for me to complete this set of extremely difficult moves when I first joined the cheerleading team.
"How is it? How is my Xiaoxiao dancing?" Senior Anna couldn't hide her inner excitement and asked Xu Yasha provocatively.
I can almost imagine Xu Yasha's expression. She stared at me for a long time and snorted, but she had no reason to blame me, so she let me continue practicing and master the movements.
If Xu Yasha can only say something like this, I feel like I’ve already achieved half of my success!
But my joy didn't last long, because I received a text message from Yu Muchen urging me to leave.
"I'm very unhappy today and in a bad mood. I want to eat the blueberry cake from Anta Bakery. Go buy it for me - Yu Muchen." I almost threw the phone out the door. I worked so hard in the gym, and he actually wanted to eat some cake?
Please, if you are in a bad mood, I am in a bad mood too. Why should I serve you, my master?
However, because I practiced martial arts frequently, Yu Muchen felt that I ignored him, and would become clingy like a child if I failed to meet his requirements.
Fortunately, Gao Yutian has succumbed to the magic of love. For Huang Ruo, he has "sold himself" to me. He will also report to me how Yu Muchen feels today. It's simply a universal strategy and so convenient!
So, I answered Gao Yutian’s call in a very unkind way.
"Hey, Ding Xiaoxiao, Muchen is in a very bad mood today. He had a sullen face this morning. He said that Mousse picked up something unclean outside and ate it, and he had diarrhea..." Gao Yutian's voice was very heavy.
"Uh... he seemed to ask me to buy a cake just now, but I don't have time..." Please, it's just Mousse having diarrhea. That dog eats everything. It definitely isn't because of eating randomly. It must be that he exposed his belly when playing with Yu Muchen last night and caught a cold.
"Yes, he said that, and he also said that if we can't eat later, we will go to the gymnasium and make a scene." Gao Yutian was silent for a while and continued to report to me.
"But I... really can't leave now!" I rolled my eyes and thought of a plan, "How about you buy it for me? Let me tell you, not only Yu Muchen likes it, Huang Ruo also likes the blueberry cake from that store very much. If you buy it back for her, she will definitely be very happy!" Huang Ruo actually likes sweets very much, so I just made it up. Sorry, Xiao Ruo, I really didn't mean to betray you!
"Really? Is it true?" Gao Yutian suddenly became excited.
"Of course it's true! I promise you!" If Huang Ruo really loves sweets, then I'm not lying.
"Okay, wait, I'll buy it for you." After saying that, Gao Yutian hung up the phone.
Alas, boys who are immersed in blind love are so easy to manipulate. I hung up the phone and waited for Blueberry Cake to grow legs and run over.
As expected, 30 minutes later, Yu Muchen really ran to the gymnasium.
"If there's no blueberry cake, I'll kiss you here! And you won't be able to train today!" Yu Muchen said with a smile.
"Ahaha, don't be like this, I still have to train, here's your blueberry cake!" I quickly stuffed the blueberry cake that Gao Yutian bought 40 minutes ago into Yu Muchen's hands. Now he has no excuse to disturb my training, right?
Yu Muchen was obviously shocked. He didn't expect that I had actually bought it. It really is true that man disposes, God disposes!
"Okay, you have got what you wanted to eat, you can go out now. I'm very busy now, don't disturb me!" After saying that, I pushed Yu Muchen out the door.
After Yu Muchen walked away for a long distance, I called Gao Yutian: "Thank you, if it weren't for you I would be finished. Next time I'll let you and Huang Ru go out to eat alone!" I am really grateful to Gao Yutian now.
"It's okay. Huang Ruo is very happy anyway." You can tell Gao Yutian is very happy just by listening to his voice.
"By the way, have you figured out the signature issue?" It suddenly occurred to me that this was the original purpose of my seeking cooperation with Gao Yutian.
"Not yet. I've tried many times, asking questions and investigating secretly, but I still can't find out what's going on... But don't worry, I will keep working hard." Gao Yutian was full of energy.
"Okay, thank you!" I was in a very good mood, and even the boring training was tinged with rosy colors.
As I eagerly anticipated, the sports meet was finally held as scheduled.
This was a scene I had never seen before. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the outside of Shengxi College was already surrounded by all kinds of high-end cars, some of which were sending their children, and some were coming to participate in the sports meeting. I had spent many years in a civilian school, and I was simply shocked by this powerful formation. There were too many people!
Fortunately, Shengxi College is not a small school. It covers an area equivalent to that of four or five ordinary schools, so it is not so crowded. However, looking at it, there must be tens of thousands of people participating, including many beautiful women, tall, rich and handsome men... If I accidentally touch someone's clothes, I will probably have to pay 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
With this cautious mood, I finally arrived at the gymnasium smoothly.
The senior students had already started preparing early, but we, the freshmen, came a little late. Maybe it was because we had never experienced such a situation before and didn’t know when to start preparing.
"You're here so late! Hurry up and put on your makeup first!" When senior sister Anna saw me appear at the door, she grabbed my collar and took me to the backstage like catching a chicken.
"Ah? Do I still need to put on makeup?" I asked ignorantly. It was just a cheerleading performance and the stage was so far away, no one should be able to see it clearly, right?
"I told you to come earlier. When the bright lights are on, you will look like a ghost without makeup. You are one of the leading actors!" Senior Anna rudely slapped me in the face, then forced me to sit backstage and asked another senior to put on makeup for me.
I applied the makeup on my face for half an hour. When I opened my eyes, I found that I couldn't recognize myself! It's not that I don't look good, but I rarely dress up so well. But this makeup is too thick, right?
"Will it be too bright?" I asked the skilled makeup artist senior.
"This is how stage makeup should be done. It will look good under the headlights. If you don't believe me, look!" The senior student pointed to the side, and I suddenly saw Xu Yasha passing by with heavy makeup on her face. Her makeup was many times heavier than mine, and the foundation on her face could build a wall. She was already very beautiful, like a mixed-race, but with her bloody mouth, she made me feel a little... scary.
"What are you looking at? Go change into your performance clothes and do some warm-up exercises. The performance will start soon!" Xu Yasha roared with a fierce face when she saw me looking at her.
"Yes!" I looked at the watch. It was already 8 o'clock, and the opening ceremony officially began at 8:30.
After changing my clothes, I stayed backstage and started to warm up. I looked calm on the surface, but I was actually beating my heart like thunder. I was about to perform in front of so many people. Could I really do it? Could I keep up with Xu Yasha's movements? Could I complete these difficult movements without any mistakes? If I made a mistake, would someone boo me in the audience? There were so many uncertainties that I couldn't settle down at all. I even thought that I would definitely fail and be expelled from the cheerleading team.
"Hey, the performance is about to start, can you do it?" Just when my mind was full of thoughts of failure, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"I can do it, of course I can do it!" I said this before my brain could react, and it seemed that this sentence instantly defeated my lack of confidence. I turned around and looked at him with some gratitude. The person who provoked me was none other than Yu Muchen. At this moment, he was wearing a Shengxi College jersey, and he looked very tall under the sunlight. The corners of his mouth were still filled with a charming smile, and his eyes, like lake water, only stayed on me.
"Come on, Muchen and I have come backstage to cheer you up! You must perform well!" Gao Yutian also came with Yu Muchen. As a new member of our camp, he did not forget to seize every moment to show his friendly side to me.
"Thank you, thank you..." I was a little touched. In fact, Yu Muchen still cared about me very much.
"Hmph, you dead woman, look at yourself, your body is covered with plasters and Band-Aids. Have you ever protected yourself well?" Yu Muchen said.
"What can I do? The movements are so difficult and the time is so tight. I'm doing pretty well this way!" I pouted. Even if Yu Muchen cared about me, he wouldn't have said it in a different way. Did he have to quarrel and argue with me?
"Are you kidding me? Do you know that your body belongs to me? How can you get hurt without my permission? After the opening ceremony, I will finish the game quickly, and then we will go to the hospital together." Yu Muchen's attitude is always so overbearing, and he has already determined the tragic fate of his opponents. I can't help but wipe away a tear of sympathy for the school team members who will play against him later.
"No, I don't want you to control me, huh!" Unfortunately, I just don't buy it. My body is my own! I don't want others to control me!
"Ah, Muchen, you're here! Are you here to see me? I'm so happy!" Before I could continue speaking, Xu Yasha flirted with me in a very charming voice and even lifted her hair.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t come here to see you…” Yu Muchen’s attitude towards Xu Yasha was very cold.
It’s strange to say, he has always been gentle to other female fans, why is he like this to Xu Yasha?
Xu Yasha is also a great beauty. Is there something wrong with Yu Muchen's aesthetic taste?
"You're so annoying! Why are you so cold to me?" Xu Yasha felt a little embarrassed and acted like a spoiled child.
"I say... don't you think you've applied too much powder? And it's too white, a bit like a dead person..." After staring at Xu Yasha for a while, Yu Muchen came to a ridiculous conclusion. Even if it was true, you shouldn't say that in front of her!
"That, that's because... because I'm not feeling well today, so my face is so pale, ah... Oh, I can't take it anymore, I feel so dizzy, it's so strange, why am I so dizzy..." While Xu Yasha was defending herself, her body softened and she closed her eyes and leaned towards Yu Muchen.
Yu Muchen's movements were incredibly fast. He dodged to the side with a look of disgust, and Xu Yasha fell into Gao Yutian's arms with a "bang". I saw with my own eyes a pink and white face mark appeared on Gao Yutian's body.
"Xu Yasha...are you okay?" Gao Yutian was obviously frightened, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Tsk, who told you to touch me!" Seeing that it was not Yu Muchen who caught her, Xu Yasha, who had just said "very uncomfortable", immediately pushed Gao Yutian away with force, causing the 1.78-meter-tall Gao Yutian to stagger.
"I say, don't waste your time on me. I really think you are very pretentious. Do you know what pretentious means? Please look in the mirror and see how you look now." Yu Muchen looked at Xu Yasha and said.
Seeing that Xu Yasha's face had turned from white to red, and from red to purple, and was about to explode, someone suddenly shouted that Yu Muchen should go to the football team to gather. Yu Muchen took Gao Yutian away without even saying goodbye, and ran away, only looking back when leaving, that look contained countless expectations and encouragement.
I was also getting ready to go on stage. I said to myself for the last time, "I'm fine." After taking a deep breath, Xu Yasha and I prepared to go on stage together.
"Captain, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I won't let you down!" I looked at Xu Yasha, who was wearing the same gymnastics suit as me, with gratitude, and ran over to give her a big hug.
"You're so annoying, get out of here!" Unexpectedly, Xu Yasha pushed me away with disgust.
"Captain?" I thought Xu Yasha had accepted me, why does she still look so disgusted with me?
"Ding Xiaoxiao, I tell you, I hate you, I hate you so much, don't think that you will have a good ending." After a pause, Xu Yasha looked at me with her deep and sharp eyes, "You will pay the price for what you have done soon, soon! You owe me, you should pay the price!" After that, Xu Yasha never looked at me again, and walked onto the stage with her head held high like a queen.
I followed her and thought silently... What on earth do I owe her? What price will I have to pay? Although it was only for a moment, the anxiety that had been suppressed in my heart quickly expanded again...
The hour and minute hands pointed to 8:30 on time. After the leaders’ brief speeches, the emcee of Shengxi College appeared on the stage. She announced in a sweet voice: "Now I declare that the Shengxi College Sports Meeting has officially begun. First of all, please enjoy the wonderful performance of the Shengxi College cheerleaders!"
Here it is! It has begun! The moment I have been striving for for more than a month has come! I kept encouraging myself in my heart, never panic, stay calm, remember every action I have repeated countless times, take a deep breath, and listen to the perfect rhythm of the music. Today, I am no longer the freshman who only loves vanity, but a girl who can achieve good results through my own efforts. I have paid so much, and I will definitely be able to do it today!
Close your eyes and count down to three. After a burst of powerful music, Xu Yasha and I followed the beat of the music and jumped onto the stage from both sides with a front flip.
