Chapter 37: Act V: Avenue Q (9)

Winter vacation for high school students had always been extremely short.

It seemed that they only waved goodbye to their classmates a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, everyone reappeared on campus.

It was visible to the naked eye that many people in the class had put on weight.

The first thing that Huawu Academy did at the beginning of every semester was that the boys and girls were divided into two groups and took turns on the scales.

This sounded ridiculous, but for dancers, this was definitely the most frightful experience in the world.

They were like a group of little piglets waiting to be sold. They stepped on the electronic scale one by one on the conveyor belt, and there was a teacher next to them who would report the weight loudly on the spot. The only difference between the piglets' and students' weight was that, the heavier the piglets were, the better; whilst the lighter the students were, the better.

The weight measurement was in the afternoon, and in order for their scale data to look better, many people had not eaten a grain of rice since last night.

Before going on the scale, the girl could not wait to remove all the hairpins from her hair, and then carefully stepped on the edge of the scale with her toes--

—— "Qi Ji, seventh grade in the Musical Theatre Department, 58.5 kg!"

And this semester, Qi Ji once again was the winner of the entire campus in "outstanding performance" in weight.

Her weight, if placed in the general population, could only be considered slightly plump, but in dance school, it was just too eye-catching.

Teacher Chu Ping couldn't help but say, "Jin Qi Ji, ah, although we don't restrict weight like other departments, can't you restrict what you eat properly..."

As usual, Qi Ji promised well, but turned around and forgot what she had promised.

After she measured her weight, she ran to find Xiang Cai.

She suffered so much this Spring Festival that she could only turn her grief into appetite. She really wanted to ask him, how did he meet his online girlfriend?

After his physical examination, Xiang Cai was a bit fatter than before and his face was more rounded. His daily exercise volume was also much less than before. Fortunately, he didn't easily gain weight, so his weight was still within a reasonable range.

"Congratulations," said the physical examination teacher. "You are two centimeters taller than last semester."

Xiang Cai looked down at his thin wrists and subconsciously wrapped his left wrist with his right hand, there was room for surplus.

Unexpectedly, in his mind, he recalled Wang Qingyun's back that he saw in the video before, he didn't know when he would grow as tall as that man.

After measuring their weight, everyone returned to the classroom.

Looking left and right, he suddenly noticed that there were several faces missing from the class.

Today was the first day of school. Could it be that those people had some reason to ask for leave?

He told Qi Ji his question, but the girl widened her eyes exaggeratedly and replied, "Xiang Cai, does no news ever get to you?"

Xiang Cai: "What's wrong? Could it be that a few of them transferred schools?"

Qi Ji shook her head: "They have signed up and are going to be trainees!"

"Trainees?" Confusion flashed across Xiang Cai's face. "What is a trainee?"
