I was just an ordinary person, but somehow I ended up dressed as a female celebrity.

Chapter 68 Performance



Chapter 68 Performance

Quite a few girls picked up masks.

Children in large families are usually trained in various skills, such as dancing, painting, swimming, horseback riding, swordsmanship, playing musical instruments, and so on.

There's nothing they can't do if you can imagine it.

While the girls were looking at each other, a girl wearing a pink dress went up to the stage first and walked to the center of the stage.

She slowly squatted down, holding the hem of her skirt with her left hand, and placed her right hand on her head in the shape of a peacock.

Judging from their posture, it looks like they're about to perform a peacock dance.

While eating cake, Lingxia commented: "Is the first one going to be the ultimate move?"

I'm really looking forward to it.

At this moment, music begins, and the opening sequence features birdsong, with the woman's nimble fingers dancing in time with the birdsong.

The birdsong was followed by a pipa-like melody.

Her arms slowly opened to the music, like a peacock spreading its feathers, a beautiful sight.

She seemed to be flying in the sky, or walking on the earth.

With her dance steps, we saw the peacock's sadness and joy.

After a dance performance, we couldn't help but marvel at her superb dancing skills.

Thunderous applause erupted instantly.

The first curtain call was indeed spectacular.

Many of the girls who hadn't even gone on stage yet had already backed down, since their dances weren't as outstanding as hers, and if they went up there, they'd only be ridiculed.

Luo Wenying smiled faintly. Was that all? She took the violin she had borrowed from the Lin family and slowly walked onto the stage.

She's passed Grade 8 and won an international violin award.

She stood on the stage in a red dress, holding a violin.

This violin is light brown, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

The zither is decorated with many beautiful wood grain patterns.

She gently placed her right hand on the bowstring, closed her eyes, and began to draw.

A beautiful violin melody filled the entire hall.

The melodious and pleasant piano music attracts your attention like a magnet and soothes your ears; the music flows like water.

Xia exclaimed in amazement that this was no ordinary banquet; it was clearly the highest level of occasion.

After that, there were all sorts of people singing bel canto and reciting poetry.

Lin Tingshen's face grew lighter after watching one performance after another.

When Assistant Yi An noticed that her boss's expression was off, she quickly got up and searched for Ling Xia in the lobby.

Yi An found Ling Xia in a corner, where Ling Xia was intently watching the performance on stage.

She would applaud enthusiastically when the performance was excellent.

They looked like genuine audience members watching the performance.

Yi An walked over to Ling Xia and patted her on the shoulder. "Here's a mask. Figure out how to get on stage and rescue the boss."

Ling Xia was patted on the shoulder. When she turned around, she saw that it was Yi An. Yi An then assigned her a task.

Ling Xia, what? Let her go on stage? Why?

Was she unprepared for anything?

"Didn't you see the boss's face was turning green? Aren't you going to think of a solution? Besides, the boss has saved you so many times, you should repay his kindness."

"Performing a show on stage can help the boss? Assistant Yi, you must be joking, right?" Ling Xia asked incredulously.

"Just tell me whether you'll help or not," Yi An concluded directly.

"Help," Xia replied heavily.

She regretted it as soon as she said it. What could she offer as a helper? If she sang "The Lone Warrior" and someone recognized her, that would be bad.

Let her think about what other songs in her photo library would be suitable for such a party.

Today is Teacher Liao's birthday. What kind of song would fit this theme?

Ling Xia felt like her brain was about to explode, so she closed her eyes and searched for songs from around the world.

Some songs fit the theme perfectly, but she only sings one or two lines of lyrics, specifically the climax.

Good heavens, who could have known she'd traveled to this place? She'd rather die than not memorize a few more complete song lyrics!

Yi An watched as Ling Xia closed her eyes and tried to think of a solution, then gave Lin Jingshu an OK sign.

Lin Jingshu nodded, turned and left, afraid that Ling Xia would see.

This is Lin Jingshu's second plan: if Ling Xia doesn't want to go on stage, she will have Yi An appeal to her emotions and reason with her.

Give Xia a push.

Lin Jingshu had everything under control.

She kept her achievements and fame hidden.

Lingxia suddenly had a flash of inspiration: the most romantic thing.

This song is perfect for the stage, with touching lyrics and a melodious tune; it's the perfect song to sing right now.

Furthermore, the lyrics can be used to express blessings to Teacher Liao and his wife.

The problem now is that there are no songs available, so I can only sing a cappella.

That's the only way. It seems she still needs to learn some music theory. She'll tell Sister Zhao about it tomorrow.

Yi An watched as Ling Xia kept her eyes closed for a few minutes before she opened them.

Have you decided what kind of performance you want to give?

"I've decided, I'll sing a song a cappella in a bit."

A cappella?

Upon hearing this, Yi An quickly said, "You can tell me what you want to sing, and I'll go talk to the staff over there and ask them to play the original song for you."

“You don’t need to sing a cappella, that would greatly diminish the quality. You’ve seen how people who went on stage before received help if they needed it.”

"But this song probably won't be available here... These are lyrics I just wrote." Ling Xia is now shameless enough to say that she wrote them.
