TARGET FIVE Take a break, take a break! The Autumn School Festival begins! Part 3
The lights on the stage were tested in the order of first bright and then dark, and were also arranged in an orderly manner. The giant screen on the stage also flashed the background MV of the event theme. The atmosphere of the event became more and more intense, and more and more people gathered around.
In the darkness, I stood outside the crowd of people. I didn't dare to go near the stage because I was afraid of scaring people, but my mind was attracted by the shining stage and I forgot my current embarrassing situation.
As I was thinking, I suddenly felt someone touching my arm. I turned around quickly and saw Duverg dressed like a ghost. The visual impact of me turning around at night in my current appearance was not to be underestimated. So, Duverg and I were both scared by each other.
"Oh, I'm so scared!" I quickly covered my chest and patted it.
"You gave me a fright, too."
For a moment, we even forgot our horrific appearance.
"Let's not talk about anything else. What is this for?" It turned out that after Duverg and I expressed our grief to each other, we saw the crowd gradually gathering here. He naturally didn't know why these people built the stage, nor did he know why the crowd was so enthusiastic.
"Oh, there is a competition tonight. The winning couple can get a prize. At the same time, they must complete a request made by the people on the scene, and they cannot refuse it!" I touched my chin and grinned, "I wonder which couple will be the winner today?"
"Yeah, I wonder who would be so unlucky." Duverg understood and also cast his gaze towards the stage.
At this moment, the lights suddenly went out. After a burst of exciting drum beats, a spotlight suddenly flashed on the stage, illuminating a gorgeously dressed girl on the stage.
With a swish, the lights behind the girl lit up, illuminating the entire stage. This girl was today's host - Romani.
Romani tied her hair into a high ponytail, which was adorned with sparkling crystal ornaments, and had delicate makeup on her face. She wore a European-style puffy skirt that matched her exquisite figure, making her look tall and dignified. The gold gauze and glittering decorations on the skirt reflected the lights of the stage even more breathtakingly.
"Hello everyone who came to participate in the school festival! I am Romani, the host of today's event. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation! Today is the annual autumn school festival of Saint Orendu Academy. I believe everyone has seen the outstanding style of each club. Now we are going to show the style of each club today. After the club performance, we will announce the couple champion tonight! Don't miss it!"
While performing all kinds of weird talents on the stage, Duverger was expressing all kinds of opinions next to me, chattering endlessly, so much so that a girl next to us stole a glance at him for a long time, and finally said to the people around her: "Don't be afraid, he is alive."
I have a chill all over my body.
"After today's investigation, although we didn't get much, I can basically confirm that Baron Shiloh's mask must be among these people!"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Do I even need to ask? There are so many people here today. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to gather together. Since Baron Hiro Mask is lurking in this academy, wouldn't it be exposing himself if he doesn't come to participate in such a large-scale event?"
"Oh... that makes sense..." I said absentmindedly, my eyes fixed on the stage. You know, I am a person with no ambitions, so I am still very happy to watch the show, but Duverg next to me is really talkative and poor, interrupting my wonderful performance of a pair of fat boys on the stage making expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness with their belly buttons.
"Aren't you curious about who the masked Baron Shilo is?" Duverg expressed dissatisfaction with my performance.
"As long as it's not Chikaaro." This is the true feeling. If Baron Shiro's mask is Chikaaro, many girls' hearts will be broken!
"You are such a useless guy!" Duverg was obviously unhappy and crossed his arms angrily.
I didn't have time to deal with this sulky guy. While I was paying attention to the show on the stage, I heard a conversation between a pair of girls not far away: "Hey! Which couple did you vote for today?"
"Just like you, that pair is so unique!"
One of the girls covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I see a lot of people voted for them, they are so unique!"
"Yeah, yes. I'm really looking forward to seeing who will win tonight."
“I’m looking forward to it too!”
It turns out that when watching the show, the organizers of the event will accept everyone's votes. I also want to vote, but thinking about my current honor, I decided to give up. It would be bad if it scared the timid ones and something happened.
Suddenly, the spotlight followed Romani from the side of the stage to the center of the stage. She clapped her hands to the audience and said, "The performance just now was really wonderful, wasn't it?"
After receiving applause and cheers from the audience, she excitedly held the microphone and announced, "Now the highlight of today is here. We are going to select the sweetest couple in the school festival based on today's photos! Who will be so lucky?"
I covered my mouth and laughed: I wonder who is so unlucky?
For a moment, everyone became excited, and some boys even whistled loudly.
"Next, please look at the big screen!" Romani raised her hand, and the big screen behind her quickly scrolled through photos. Finally, the quickly playing photos finally stopped slowly and stopped on a photo that stunned me.
Rather than a couple photo, it's more like a zombie photo, with their faces painted blue-gray with glaring blood, their heads pressed together, and they made a stunned expression to the camera - are these guys crazy? They actually think this is sweet? This is clearly a sad drama!
Suddenly , a spotlight illuminated me from head to toe, and I felt like a naked red-bottomed monkey, suddenly standing on a high platform and attracting the attention of thousands of people.
Just when I felt my scalp tingling, Duverg and I were pushed onto the stage by the laughing people around us, not allowing me to escape. They grabbed my wrists and pushed us onto the stage one by one. I actually felt like I was being pushed into a slaughterhouse.
I was extremely surprised, and suddenly I saw a familiar face. Without thinking too much, I grabbed his wrist and stopped.
"So you two are a couple..." Daugeze's handsome face looked particularly handsome under the light from the spotlight. His bright eyes were a little dim, but he quickly covered it up with a smile, "Come on stage quickly, don't keep everyone waiting."
At that moment, my brain went blank and my grip on his hand relaxed a little. The next second, I was pushed towards the stage by the crowd again. At this moment, I suddenly reacted, turned my head and shouted to Daugeze, "No, no, it's not what you think! We are not..." My voice seemed so weak in the rolling crowd and was soon swallowed up by the various noises around me.
In this way, Duverger and I were pushed and pulled onto the stage. In the center of the stage, we stood stupidly under the spotlight like monkeys who had made a mistake, looking at the dark crowd below the stage.
“It’s actually…Greya?” Romani didn’t recognize me at first. After finally figuring out it was me, she said in surprise, “It’s actually my roommate Greyya, and…” She tried to identify them for a long time, and then said in surprise, “Duverger?”
"You two are actually a couple?" Romani covered her mouth and suddenly laughed. "That's what I was wondering. I was wondering why Duverg always came to see you for no reason. It turns out you are really a couple!"
"No, no, no, it's not like that..." My voice, without the microphone, was as weak as a mosquito's buzz.
"In that case, we'll ask you two winners to fulfill your obligations!" Romani took a piece of paper from the person next to her and excitedly said to the audience, "This is the obligation they must fulfill tonight. This is also the option that everyone just chose with the highest number of votes. Do you want to know what it is?"
There was an immediate response from the audience, and everyone urged Romani to stop keeping the secret and announce it as soon as possible!
I stood there like a clay statue, my mind completely blank.
Romani slowly unfolded the note with a smile on her face. She immediately made a surprised expression, covered her mouth, and said with a smile: "The public opinion is that the two of them should have a passionate kiss!" She looked at our poses again and quickly changed her mind, "No, it should be a passionate kiss between two zombies."
There was an immediate roar from the audience, with everyone shouting in unison: "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!"
Kiss? I was stimulated by this word. How could this be possible? I, Greya, have lived for more than ten years and still haven't... This is my first kiss! Could it be... Could it be that I have to do this in public...
Before I had time to think about it, I heard Duverg take the microphone and say, "What's the big deal, just kiss me." Then he put his arms around my waist, leaned over me, and was about to kiss me!
Seeing that horribly painted face getting closer and closer, I cried in my heart: No! My first kiss, I don’t want to give my first kiss to a guy with such a horrible face, it won’t be a pleasant memory at all!
At this moment, the booing from the audience had reached an unprecedented climax, with the audience shouting louder and louder in unison: "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!"
I felt like I was almost drowned by the roar of the mountains and the sea, and Duverg in front of me was getting closer and closer, until he was just a stone's throw away, and my dodging seemed to have no effect, the arm that clamped my lower back was holding me tightly, preventing me from dodge.
At this moment, the visual effects must be very strange to us. Two zombie-like monsters, one is about to kiss the other , while the other is trying to hide. What a weird scene! The people watching the excitement in the audience are even more excited, and they all ask the zombies to kiss each other. What a weird group of people! What a strong taste!
No! This is my first kiss! My heart was surging like a mountain torrent, and I longed for someone to save me.
Just when I was facing great pressure, I suddenly felt my wrist being held tightly, and then I was taken away from Duverg's arms. Instead, I leaned into the warm chest of a man with an elegant and tranquil fragrance.
"Ms. Greya doesn't want to, can't you see?" A magnetic voice sounded above my head, so familiar and reassuring. So the master of this embrace of mine is...Dougeze.
"What are you doing?" Duverger glared at him in zombie makeup, which made his expression even more terrifying.
Dogeze wasn't affected at all. He held my hand and glanced coldly at the people below the stage. Then he said into the microphone with a contemptuous look: "I'm taking this lady away. Please don't force others to do things they don't want to do." After that, Dogeze also took me and walked away without looking back under the attention of everyone, leaving Romanie standing there in a daze and Duverg, who had not yet come to his senses, there.
The wind was a little chilly in the early autumn night. I was already wearing very little and was dragged by Dougezeye to run quickly on the path. I suddenly felt very cold. But I don't know why I felt guilty as if I had done something wrong, and I didn't dare to say anything. I secretly observed Dougezeye in front of me. His tall and straight back was walking in front of me, and his warm and strong hand was holding my hand. Just from his back, I knew that Dougezeye was so handsome, which made me unable to take my eyes away. But why did I think about this? Oh my God! What happened to me?
I covered my face and smiled foolishly, immersed in my own world, and didn't even notice that Dougze had stopped.
With a thud, I bumped into Dougezeye. His strong muscles immediately made me feel dizzy.
"What are you daydreaming about?" It was rare that Daogeze seemed a little angry, but I was not sure why.
"Hmm..." I covered my head and looked up at him, tall and straight. For a moment, I had a feeling: This is probably the cutest height difference. "Why did you stop suddenly?"
I muttered to myself , and couldn't help shivering in the night wind.
Dougeze also looked at me who was tightly wrapped in bandages, sighed, took off his coat, put it on me, and his tone became gentle: "Are you a little cold?"
This kind of elegant and gentle gentleman feeling, this kind of thoughtfulness and elegance returned to this handsome guy with a demon face. This is the Douge Zeye I know. This is something that Duverger will never achieve in his lifetime! But why would I compare him with Duverger?
"Well... it's okay!" I laughed and subconsciously tightened my coat. A burst of light and elegant fragrance from Daugeze rushed into my nose. I suddenly blushed and my heart beat very fast. If it was daytime, they would definitely see my embarrassment at this moment. Fortunately, it was night and I was wearing such terrible makeup...
"Go wash up..." Daogeze shook his head helplessly and continued to hold my hand, leading me to the infirmary not far away. The warmth transmitted from that warm palm made me feel warm and at ease.
Perhaps because everyone had gone to the party, the teaching building seemed empty at the moment. There were no teachers in the infirmary on the first floor of the teaching building. The only sound was the slight crackling sound of autumn insects hitting the fluorescent tubes.
I sat on a leather bench, silently took off the black wig covering my head, let down my long hair hidden under the cheap wig, stretched my muscles and bones in an especially relaxed manner, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Daugeze also turned on the faucet and wet the brand-name handkerchief he carried with him. Then he sat down in front of me, looked at my cat-like face, and couldn't help frowning, and started to wipe my face. Judging from his expression, he must be very annoyed by the crude zombie makeup on my face.
"Thank you...thank you...Dougezeye." I let him wipe my cheek, pursed my lips and thought for a long time before I realized that I should say thank you.
"You're welcome..." Daugeze also answered, then paused for a moment and said, "You can just call me Ze. It would be awkward to use my full name."
"Oh! Okay, Zeye!" I sat up straight like a primary school student. Dougeze couldn't help but smile. His handsome face looked particularly charming at this moment because of the smile: "Can I call you Leia from now on?"
"Of course!" I couldn't help but suck my saliva and let out a silly smile.
Dogeze seemed to be infected by me, the smile on his face deepened, and his hands' movements seemed particularly gentle. Unfortunately, the limited edition handkerchief of the famous brand was stained by the dirty paint on my face and became unsightly.
Autumn insects continue to hit the fluorescent tubes, and the stage not far outside continues to revel. The room separated from it is like a paradise full of sweet bubbles, and the atmosphere is particularly sweet. In this quiet little world, what is happening now is like a little secret that belongs to the two of us, not to be told to others, and buried deep in my heart.
