The original choreography did not include the final scene.
The two senior students responsible for the choreography, for reasons unknown, suddenly decided to add this segment as a finale.
Qin Tian felt it was unnecessary, and Xia Nuannuan was a bit embarrassed, not wanting to steal the spotlight.
But the two seniors were very persistent, and the others kept agreeing, saying that the two of them often showed their affection and showered others with public displays of love, so one more time wouldn't hurt.
With no other choice, unable to resist their insistence, they agreed.
The vast auditorium fell into an unusual silence for a moment.
The many freshmen stared dumbfounded, their gazes complex as they looked at the two people embracing on stage.
At this moment, Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed as she let go and stood beside him.
Lu Lei, Cao Mingliang, Wang Zijun, and the rest of the dance group quickly stepped forward, lining up on either side with the couple at the center.
Facing all the audience members in the auditorium, they bowed in unison to express their gratitude, then quickly exited the stage.
The freshmen snapped back to reality, and the quiet auditorium erupted in an instant.
"Whoa, what was that!"
"The impact is too great, I'm a little broken."
"It was a good evening show, why did you have to feed us dog food?"
"I heard that Senior Qin Tian and his girlfriend always show off their affection like this, I didn't expect us to be victims today."
"Wuwu... I want sweet love too, this is too enviable, I'm so jealous."
"The performance was good initially, but now I'm giving it zero points, what a terrible performance!"
"Don't let me find out who designed this segment, it's too cruel to single dogs."
...
The two senior students responsible for the choreography listened to the discussions of the freshmen around them, their faces showing similar indulgent smiles, feeling very pleased.
Backstage, the group high-fived each other in celebration.
"Did you see the expressions of those freshmen?"
"Of course, I was secretly delighted, it felt so good."
"Hahaha... we shouldn't be the only ones hurt, these freshmen need to taste the pain of being single dogs too."
"That's the spirit, haha..."
"I almost couldn't help but laugh, it's just that there was no applause at the end."
"Sigh, that doesn't matter."
"Yeah, yeah, why bother with applause, we wanted that effect just now."
"..."
"Nuannuan, well done."
Shen Siqi smiled and gave Xia Nuannuan a thumbs up.
The other girls from their class also smiled brightly, imitating her by giving thumbs up.
"Siqi!"
Xia Nuannuan blushed and glared at Shen Siqi with a reproachful look.
Seeing this, everyone around them laughed heartily.
"My support really came at the right time, hahaha... your class is too interesting."
Wang Zijun also laughed heartily.
"Seniors, if there are any more activities in the future, will you join us again!"
Cao Mingliang asked with a smile.
"No problem, definitely call me if something this fun comes up!"
Wang Zijun readily agreed with a bright smile.
A moment later, everyone left backstage and returned to their seats in front of the auditorium to watch the rest of the show with the freshmen.
Of course, many of the freshmen were already distracted.
Quite a few boys were looking around, searching for their own targets, trying to find a partner as soon as possible to avoid further harm.
As for the girls, they were sourly discussing amongst themselves and occasionally glancing in the direction of Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan.
Therefore, even though some of the subsequent performances were quite exciting, the reception was clearly much weaker.
This year's welcoming party continued until 9:30 PM.
A leader from the department took the stage to give a speech, skillfully instilling some motivational advice into the freshmen, after which the two hosts delivered the closing remarks for the evening.
The exit music played, and under the organization of the student union members, everyone in the auditorium exited in an orderly fashion through the three exits.
"Then I'll go back to the dorms with them."
After walking out of the comprehensive building where the auditorium was located, Xia Nuannuan said to Qin Tian beside her.
Qin Tian shook his head, reached out and took her hand, saying, "We're staying at home tonight, and we'll drive back to Yucheng directly tomorrow morning."
"This..."
Xia Nuannuan seemed conflicted, her gaze shifting to Shen Siqi and Lu Lei.
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Shen Siqi linked arms with Lu Lei and waved her other hand with a smile.
Lu Lei also nodded with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll go back with him. Siqi, Sister Lei, bye, see you after the National Day holiday."
Xia Nuannuan bid farewell to the two.
"Bye!"
"Do you need to get anything from the dorm?"
"No need to get anything, we have everything at home."
"Okay, then you guys go!"
Thus, Shen Siqi and Lu Lei returned to the dorms, while Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan walked hand in hand towards the school gate.
Many freshmen around them watched this scene, their envy almost written all over their faces.
Especially some of the boys, who had heard that the two had bought an apartment near the school and were living together, looked at Qin Tian with gazes as sharp as knives.
...
...
When they returned to their home in Moxiang Shuyuan, Xia Tian immediately ran over barking to greet them.
Having not been taken for a walk all day, it circled their legs, frolicking and acting cute, looking pitiful.
"Oh dear, Mommy is tired today, I'll take you for a walk tomorrow morning, okay?"
Xia Nuannuan crouched down, patted the dog's head, and smiled as she negotiated with the dog.
"Woof!"
Xia Tian barked and stretched out its tongue to lick her palm.
"Nuannuan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Qin Tian asked with a smile.
"Hmm... I think I am a little. Are you going to cook something?"
"There are still frozen dumplings in the fridge, let's cook some!"
"Okay, then I'll go give Xia Tian some snacks too."
"Okay!"
Qin Tian nodded and went to the kitchen to cook the dumplings.
Xia Nuannuan took the dog to the living room, turned on the TV, and took out some dog snacks. She fed the dog while watching television.
A moment later, Qin Tian brought over two bowls of steaming dumplings.
Knowing that Xia Nuannuan tried to eat less at night, he gave her a small bowl, while he had a large one.
On the television, a very popular variety show on Mango TV was playing.
As they sat together eating dumplings and watching TV, they felt the fatigue of the entire day slowly fading away.
After they were full, Xia Nuannuan prepared to pick up the bowls to wash them, but Qin Tian stopped her with his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"We'll wash them tomorrow morning. It's too late today, let's go take a bath and go to bed!"
"Okay!"
Xia Nuannuan thought it made sense and didn't notice his ulterior motives.
Qin Tian picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and stood up, saying, "Let's go!"
The two walked into the bedroom one after another. The single dog Xia Tian followed them to the bedroom door, just about to go in, when it was met with a closed door.
"Ah? What are you doing?"
"Nuannuan, you look so beautiful in this outfit!"
"Don't fool around, I've been sweating a lot, I'm very dirty."
"It's okay."
"Mmm... let me take a shower first!"
"No, keep wearing these clothes!"
...
"Woof!"
Xia Tian, squatting outside the door, let out a confused bark.
