Chapter 19: Act III "Rachmaninoff" (6)

Xiang Cai was hit by a big burger that fell from the sky. He never thought that the male god he admired would offer to help him himself!

If it weren't for the other three roommates currently resting in his dormitory, Xiang Cai would yell to express his happiness.

He covered his mouth with his hands and kicked his two long legs in the air.

He was surprised to find that a roommate who hadn't fallen asleep, was shocked to witness himself tossing in the dark.

"Xiang Cai, what's the matter with you?"

"..." Xiang Cai quickly put his legs down and lied, "I'm doing some bicycle crunches."

"You really work hard." The roommate admired him with longing. "I saw you also stretching your legs in the night exercises. When can I be as flexible as you?"

"It's probably going to be in your next life." Xiang Cai honestly replied, "If you can't go down the crossbar right now, then you won't ever be as flexible as me."

"..." The roommate was silent, then turned over, pulling the quilt to his head and going to sleep.

Xiang Cai: ...? Why is he so impolite that he didn't even say good night to me?

...

In the early morning of the next day, Xiang Cai enthusiastically went to the vocal teacher to borrow recording equipment. He was a top student, so the teacher gave him the classroom key without hesitation, allowing him to practice in the vocal classroom during night exercises.

The vocal teacher asked him: "Xiang Cai, I heard Teacher Chu say that you want to sing two roles by yourself? Don't force yourself."

"You can rest assured." Xiang Cai smiled, "I borrowed the recording equipment to solve this problem! I have a friend who can help me with the post-production, and I will harmonize myself."

He didn't know how this matter spread, but it didn't take long for the whole class to know that the proud little prince of their class decided to tackle the final exam alone.

This was akin to a highly difficult level in a game. Others had to team up to participate in the battle. They also had to pick each other's equipment, level, and data capabilities. Finally, they would fight because of the 'uneven distribution of stolen goods'.

However,regardless of what others thought and did, Xiang Cai was armed and determined to go into battle alone.

The students in the class gossiped a lot about his behavior.

Ever since Xiang Cai switched to the Musical Theatre Department, some people in the class waited to see his blunder — all those who could be admitted to the Huawu Affiliated High School had heavenly pride, and thousands of people signed up for Musical Theatre Department every year. Only a handful were admitted. Each of these twenty-eight people had their own pride. On what grounds could Xiang Cai be better than anyone else?

In the eyes of many people, Xiang Cai was a misfit, from the inside out. They had been waiting for the little prince to have to lower his noble head and take the initiative to join a small group.

But after waiting and waiting, not only did he not lowered himself, but instead, beyond their expectations, he sprinted towards a higher goal!

Someone chewed the root of their tongue sourly behind him. After being heard by Qi Ji, she taunted them sharply.

"Your waist is not as flexible as us girls', and your range is not as high as us girls', but your mouth is more broken than us girls'!" Qi Ji said, "You will have time to figure out when you start your boys' group. You might as well join us girls' group and try it first, I promise we'll let you feel the warmth of the extraordinary sisters!"
