When Ye Feng and his group of eight arrived at the gymnasium, nearly ten thousand seats were already more than half filled with students.
Ye Feng and the others immediately found a relatively quiet spot and sat down.
"Ms. Shu didn't give you a hard time, did she?"
Just as they sat down, Ma Xiaofan turned to Ye Feng beside him and asked.
Ye Feng just shrugged and joked, "No worries! She bought a dress and asked me to check if it fit!"
"..." Ma Xiaofan gave him a strange look, naturally not believing a word.
The welcome party was very lively; not just freshmen from the first year, but many seniors had also come to the gymnasium. In less than half an hour, the entire gym was packed to the rafters.
In the front row of the gymnasium's stands sat many Jiangnan University leaders, all dressed neatly and chatting enthusiastically with one another.
When Ye Feng saw one of the women among these leaders, he was taken aback.
"Xiaofan, who's that woman?"
Ye Feng nudged Ma Xiaofan next to him and asked, pointing at an attractive woman in the front row.
"You don't know her?" Ma Xiaofan looked at Ye Feng as if he were an alien, thinking this guy must be from Mars not to know the vice-chancellor:
"She's our vice-chancellor at Jiangnan University, promoted just last year!"
"Really? She's so young!" Ye Feng was stunned; he had genuinely not thought that the woman would be the vice-chancellor.
"What does age matter? She was last year's internet sensation, China's most beautiful female school principal! It's said that when she was studying, she was the ultimate top student, who got into Yanjing University at the age of thirteen by topping the college entrance examination! She went to study in the United States at fifteen, and by seventeen, she had earned dual doctoral degrees from Harvard! At twenty, she returned to China and surprisingly chose to teach senior year students at a high school. In just one year, she managed to get every student in her class into a prestigious university!"
Ma Xiaofan seemed to admire the woman greatly, and continued:
"Our valedictorian this year, Fang Qingxue, was nurtured by her. However, Fang Qingxue didn't choose Yanjing University - the top institution in China - instead, she chose Jiangnan University!"
Listening to Ma Xiaofan's enthusiastic words, Ye Feng was somewhat dumbfounded.
This woman was simply incredible; and even more so, he had spent the night with her!
Seeing Ye Feng's puzzled expression, Ma Xiaofan teased him:
"You're not smitten with her, are you? But let me warn you, she and Fang Qingxue are known as the most beautiful teacher-student duo in history. Countless men have set their sights on them; you'd better be careful!"
"..." Ye Feng.
The welcome party soon began, hosted by two students majoring in broadcasting. After the principal and several other leaders had made their speeches, the heated performances officially started.
But not long after the program had started, Ye Feng saw Shu Yuehua coming toward him, looking very fierce.
"This woman isn't coming to trouble me, is she?" Ye Feng wondered to himself, feeling a bit guilty since he had seen this bombshell of a homeroom teacher in her entirety.
"Ye Feng! The program has started, what are you still doing sitting there?" Shu Yuehua walked straight up to Ye Feng and asked coldly.
Ye Feng was taken aback, confused: "Teacher, I'm here to watch the program! What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" Shu Yuehua glared, almost in disbelief:
"Aren't you supposed to be performing a piano piece? It's almost your turn! And here you are, still casually watching the show!"
Shu Yuehua was almost driven mad, as each class had prepared a performance for the welcome party, and their class 02's act was for Ye Feng to play a piano piece.
But when she had looked for him backstage earlier, she couldn't find Ye Feng anywhere, and now here he was, leisurely enjoying the performances.
Ye Feng furrowed his brows too, but he quickly understood.
"Was it Yang Hao who submitted the program list for you?"
"Yes," Shu Yuehua was startled, then seemed to think of something,
"You didn't sign up for the stage performance, did you?"
"Of course, I didn't sign up, and I certainly never said I wanted to perform!" Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Only then did Shu Yuehua truly understand, and her pretty face turned ashen with anger.
"That Yang Hao is really too much!"
At the time Yang Hao gave her the program list, stating that Ye Feng would perform the piano, Shu Yuehua was also puzzled, but she never expected Yang Hao would dare to deceive her.
The program list had already been submitted, and there was simply no time to make changes or find a replacement.
Shu Yuehua was extremely anxious; she could never have imagined that so much would happen on the first day of school, and that the performance their class was supposed to give had been ruined.
Meanwhile, in the fourth row of the stands, a group of students from Class 02 sat, occasionally glancing back in the direction of Ye Feng and the others.
"Bro Hao, do you think that kid will go on stage?" one student asked anxiously. If that guy stubbornly refused to perform, their whole scheme would fall through.
"Don't worry! I've already told all the other students in the class that they won't be performing. Now Shu Yuehua can only rely on Ye Feng to save the day! And we'll all insist that it was Ye Feng who said he would perform—Shu Yuehua can't do anything to us!"
Yang Hao was quite calm; he had calculated that Shu Yuehua would definitely force Ye Feng to go on stage.
Just a bumpkin who knew a little about farming, what could he perform?
Piano? Haha... that's a joke!
"Let's welcome the next act, a piano solo of 'Hummingbird' by the Piano Princess, Luo Susu! Next up, please get ready, Ye Feng from Clinical Medicine Class 02!"
At that moment, a beautiful hostess's clear voice rang out from the stage.
"Haha..."
Yang Hao burst into laughter upon hearing the hostess announce the program list, elated,
"How about that? I deliberately had them move up Ye Feng's act. Now let's see if he can still refuse to get on stage. If he doesn't, he'll lose all face at Jiangnan University!"
Yang Hao knew the staff member in charge of the program arrangements; with just a little bit of money, he was able to successfully bump up Ye Feng's act. This meant that even if Shu Yuehua wanted to change it, it was now impossible.
"Bro Hao is mighty! That kid is done for now! Haha..."
"Yes! Even if Shu Yuehua knows we're behind this, she'll have no choice but to pressure Ye Feng to go on stage. Otherwise, not only will Ye Feng not be able to continue here, but Shu Yuehua, as the class teacher, will also be ridiculed by the other teachers!"
"A country bumpkin performing at the evening party, hehe... I'm really damn looking forward to it!"
"Yeah! I wonder what that kid will perform? Playing the piano is out of the question—he might as well bring a hoe onstage and start digging!"
Hearing this, the group of guys burst into laughter, seemingly already visualizing Ye Feng's embarrassment on stage, which made them incredibly happy.
On the other side, Shu Yuehua's pretty face was deathly pale, her expression a mix of shock and anger.
"What's going on? I already asked them to schedule your act for later, how could it be moved up?"
Shu Yuehua couldn't understand it; when she just went out to find Ye Feng, she had communicated with the backstage staff. But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. Now the hostess had already called out Ye Feng's name; even if he didn't go on stage, it was no longer possible to avoid it.
