The costumes for the show were originally to be arranged by the student union.
However, the students of Class 1 of the Economics Department knew that Qin Tian was proficient in fashion design and had close cooperation with large fashion companies.
Therefore, the girls from both classes strongly suggested that Qin Tian design them, and then everyone would chip in to customize them.
Qin Tian, naturally, found it troublesome at first.
But there was no other way. Xia Nuannuan was quickly convinced by the girls, and under the suggestion of some playful girls, a routine was set up that he couldn't resist, making him willingly design these costumes.
More than half a month had passed, and Qin Tian still often recalled that wonderful night.
On that day, while he was playing games with Chen Zhuang and others in the dormitory, he suddenly received a call from Xia Nuannuan asking him to come back for dinner.
When he entered the room, he saw Xia Nuannuan, dressed in a two-dimensional maid outfit, standing there shyly to greet him.
“Brother, welcome home!”
Xia Nuannuan greeted him in a soft, cute voice, then crouched down and placed slippers at his feet.
Qin Tian couldn't handle this at all.
Then, with a dazed expression, he was led by Xia Nuannuan, hand in hand, to the dining table.
On the table was the dinner she had made, an omelet rice dish commonly seen in Japanese TV dramas and anime, with a heart drawn on top with ketchup.
After Qin Tian came to his senses, he quickly finished the omelet rice and then carried his wife straight to the bedroom.
That night, Qin Tian truly experienced the charm of uniform culture.
Xia Nuannuan, like a true maid, was submissive to him and allowed him to do as he pleased.
The next morning, Qin Tian readily agreed to Xia Nuannuan's request and designed the performance costumes for everyone participating in the show.
The costumes for the dance group girls were designed based on the opinions of the participating girls; they were very fashionable and accentuated their figures.
The girls wearing the costumes, just sitting there, attracted the attention of many boys around them.
Not to mention Xia Nuannuan, whose figure was already excellent. Wearing this dance costume made her truly eye-catching.
To be honest, when the finished product was made, Qin Tian regretted it the day Xia Nuannuan tried it on.
It couldn't be helped; it was a man's possessiveness at work!
However, it was too late to regret it. He could only endure it for now and, after this darn party ended, have his wife wear this dance skirt and perform for him alone in the room.
Soon, there were only two or three minutes left until seven o'clock.
The auditorium was almost full. The sun-tanned freshmen were chatting and laughing with each other, appearing to be in good spirits.
After all, after nearly a month of rigorous military training, they could finally relax properly. Not only was there a party to watch, but the National Day holiday was also starting the next day.
“The ones sitting in front are the ones who are going to perform later, right?”
“Presumably.”
“Bro, those seniors wearing dance costumes over there, what department are they from? They all look great!”
“They seem to be from the Economics Department. See that girl sitting with Qin Tian? That must be his girlfriend, Xia Nuannuan.”
“Her figure is amazing!”
“Nonsense, haven’t you heard? Our Jiang University has many beauties that are considered campus goddesses, but if you’re talking about figure, Xia Nuannuan is absolutely invincible.”
“Hey, hey, look over there. Is Senior Qin Tian also going on stage to perform?”
“Senior Qin Tian? Where, where? Wow, he looks so handsome in those clothes!”
“Stop being infatuated. Look at the senior next to him.”
“Wuwu… I really want to know where I lost.”
…
Many freshmen around were secretly observing Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, whispering and discussing.
This was also why Xia Nuannuan felt a bit uneasy, sensing many people looking in their direction.
When she was in kindergarten, she performed in a children's show with her classmates. After that, she had always been invisible in class.
To be dressed up like this, performing in front of so many freshmen, and dancing, she was actually quite nervous.
Qin Tian sensed her emotions, took one of her hands, and gently patted the back of her hand.
“Don’t be nervous. You’re just accompanying me, I’m the protagonist, okay!”
“Pfft!”
Xia Nuannuan couldn’t help but laugh, quickly raising her other hand to cover her mouth and giving him a playful glare.
“Qin Tian is right. If he, the protagonist, isn’t nervous, why are you anxious?”
Shen Siqi echoed with a smile.
“You’re not nervous?”
Xia Nuannuan glanced at her.
“Uh… I actually am a little.”
Shen Siqi nodded with an awkward smile.
“Then you still dare to say that about me.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I should say ‘we.’ Neither of us is nervous, right!”
“Hehe…”
At this moment, the students from the two classes of the Economics Department who were not participating in the show also arrived, sitting not too far to their left and behind.
Chen Zhuang, with his 1.9-meter height, was very noticeable, raising his arm and waving at Shen Siqi with a bright smile.
Shen Siqi rolled her eyes and turned her head away, pretending not to see him.
Suddenly, the music in the auditorium quieted down.
The noisy and clamorous sounds also instantly became much quieter.
As the lights focused on the sides of the stage, two elegantly dressed hosts, holding microphones, walked to the center of the stage with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.
The two delivered their well-rehearsed opening remarks in fluent and resonant Mandarin with perfect coordination.
Following that, the hosts retreated backstage, and the members of the first performance group appeared.
They were several popular professors from the School of Economics. Two men and two women took turns appearing and sang a very classic Cantonese song.
They sang quite well, and with the accompanying dancers from behind to liven up the atmosphere, the opening act was quite successful.
As the music ended, warm applause erupted in the auditorium, and the lively atmosphere began to surge.
The four professors bowed in thanks and then retreated backstage with the members of the dance troupe.
The female host walked onto the stage again, and after a brief linking narration, the second performance began.
One program after another was staged, some were very exciting, while others were relatively boring and tedious from the freshmen’s perspective.
“It’s almost time, everyone should go backstage to prepare.”
Qian Ling turned her head and said to everyone.
“So soon!”
“It’s over, it’s over. I’m a bit nervous, what should I do!”
“I am too. It feels completely different from rehearsal, the pressure is so high.”
“Stop talking, let’s go. Let’s go backstage first.”
…
The group exchanged comments and one by one, they stood up and walked to the wall of the auditorium, heading towards the door in the corner at the front.
Behind that door was the backstage preparation and rest area.
In the auditorium, many freshmen saw this scene and started to discuss excitedly.
“Here they come, here they come. Senior Qin Tian’s program is about to begin.”
“I wonder what the program is! I’m so excited!”
“It feels like it might be a song and dance. Those wearing the same clothes are probably the backup dancers. There are four people wearing different clothes, are they also responsible for the chorus?”
“Who cares, as long as it’s good to watch.”
“I heard that Senior Qin Tian is apparently skilled at guitar and singing. He showed off his skills during military training last year.”
“Really? How do you know that?”
“I’m a loyal fan of the senior now, I’ve gathered a lot of information.”
