Chapter 18

It would have been fine if he had been pushing the issue in the past two years.

This year, Zhang Jiayi didn't want to fight alone no matter what.

He would definitely use every possible means to persuade Xie Jinling to participate.

Moreover, Zhang Jiayi had a very strong intuition that if Xie Jinling participated in this year's school anniversary, their Class 1 of Senior 3 would definitely not be the class with the worst program.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayi clenched his palms.

He was full of energy and momentum, but what he said was this: "Xie Jinling, please participate, please..."

Xie Jinling got goose bumps at Zhang Jiayi's tone, "Speak nicely."

Zhang Jiayi put his hands together: "Please, please." He looked at Xie Jinling with bright eyes, and the expectation in his eyes almost overflowed.

Xie Jinling asked back in a faint tone: "You didn't even listen to my answer, and you let me participate?"

Zhang Jiayi said in a firm tone: "I believe you must have special skills!"

Xie Jinling was happy.

Zhang Jiayi's blind confidence in him really made Xie Jinling feel a little funny. He raised his eyes and asked, "Is keeping pets considered a specialty?"

Zhang Jiayi: "?" Keeping pets? "Not really."

Zhang Jiayi imagined the scene...

Xie Jinling standing on the stage, interacting with reptiles such as spiders, scorpions, and snakes. He couldn't help but be smart and said dryly, "Forget about pets."

Zhang Jiayi corrected the distorted topic. He looked into Xie Jinling's eyes and said, "You must be good at singing and dancing." After the words fell, without waiting for Xie Jinling to speak, Zhang Jiayi answered himself as if to confirm: "Absolutely!"

Xie Jinling chuckled, "Are you so sure?"

Zhang Jiayi nodded: "Of course."

Xie Jinling waved her hand: "Unfortunately, I'm not very good at singing and dancing."

Zhang Jiayi followed up with, "What about other things, such as musical instruments?"

This time Xie Jinling didn't speak. He pursed his lips, as if thinking.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiayi immediately asked, "What instrument are you good at?"

Xie Jinling did not answer, and asked casually, "Do you really want me to participate?"

"Of course!" Zhang Jiayi said truthfully, "I am the one who puts on the program of our class every year, and it ranks first in the worst list of the whole school."

At the end, Zhang Jiayi looked at Xie Jinling with a pitiful look, "So, classmate Xie, what instrument are you good at?"

As he spoke, he put on an expression of answering me, answering me.

There was a tendency that if Xie Jinling did not answer, he would keep asking.

Xie Jinling replied with two words: "Bamboo flute."

"Wow!" Zhang Jiayi's eyes lit up instantly, and he could already imagine the scene of Xie Jinling playing the bamboo flute.

The Miao teenager, full of ethnic style, held the bamboo flute horizontally and played it with his eyes down. The sound of the silver bells and the crisp and ethereal sound of the bamboo flute merged together. That feeling must be superb!

At that time, who dares to say that their class 1 of senior year 3 has a terrible program!

Maybe they can even counterattack all the way and get the first place in the end!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayi's eyes looking at Xie Jinling suddenly became more fiery.

If he hadn't been sitting in the wrong position at the moment, Zhang Jiayi almost stepped forward and grabbed Xie Jinling's hand to make him agree.

"Xiao Xie, this program can't be without you!" Zhang Jiayi stared at Xie Jinling with his eyes fixed.

Xie Jinling said bluntly: "This should be voluntary, I don't want to participate." He felt it was troublesome.

"Don't be like this!" Zhang Jiayi wailed.

Lin Ye, who was awakened by Zhang Jiayi's howl, raised his head and kicked him lightly: "Keep your voice down."

Zhang Jiayi hummed, and then said to Xie Jinling: "What can I do to get you to agree? Or what do you need most at this stage?"

Xie Jinling thought about it. For the time being, he didn't seem to need anything, and he didn't lack anything.

Thinking of this, Xie Jinling also said it directly.

Zhang Jiayi was very disappointed: "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Xie Jinling hummed indifferently.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiayi was still unwilling to give up, "Why don't you think about it again, have you ever thought about it... Hey! I got it!" Zhang Jiayi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I remember you said you wanted Brother Ye to be your model!" His face was rekindled with fighting spirit.

Lin Ye, who was suddenly cueed: "?"

He glanced at Zhang Jiayi beside him, but Zhang Jiayi didn't even look at him at this moment, his attention was all on Xie Jinling, "That day in physical education class, you said you wanted to paint on Brother Ye."

Zhang Jiayi had just finished speaking when he was kicked by Lin Ye again.

This time the force was obviously heavier than the previous kick.

Zhang Jiayi cracked his mouth and hissed softly, "Brother Ye, why did you suddenly kick..." Before Zhang Jiayi could say the last word "I", he felt the eyes of the surrounding students looking at this side.

Chen Cheng, Lin Anan, and several other students' eyes were all circling back and forth between Xie Jinling and Lin Ye, with an expression of eating a big melon.

Even Jian Yi, who had been doing the exercise book, stopped writing.

Zhang Jiayi suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a hurry to convince Xie Jinling, and seemed to... probably... forget to lower his voice? !

Damn!

Zhang Jiayi scratched his hair, laughed dryly, and looked at Lin Ye with a guilty conscience.

Lin Ye sneered, his dark pupils dark.

Zhang Jiayi shuddered, and then looked at Xie Jinling again.

There was no change in Xie Jinling's expression, and it seemed that he was not affected by his words, and he did not seem to think that this was something embarrassing or uncivilized.

In fact, this itself is not a shameful thing.

However, Xie Jinling thought so based on the fact that he was the person involved.

As for other people who don't know the truth, just listening to Zhang Jiayi's two words, it is easy for them to think in a direction that deviates from the right track.

Look, except for Lin Anan, who knew what happened from Xie Jinling, the expressions of Chen Cheng and other students at this time can be said to be quite subtle.

Zhang Jiayi quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong! Xie Jinling just thinks that Brother Ye has a good figure. This is purely from the perspective of a painter."

Lin Ye: "..."

Lin Anan couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Jiayi, your explanation is likely to make things worse."

Chen Cheng nodded in agreement: "We don't have any misunderstandings either." After he finished speaking, he paused and said: "But now we know that Xie Jinling admires Lin Ye's figure."

Zhang Jiayi: "No! I..."

Lin Ye: "You can shut up."

Zhang Jiayi covered his face and glanced at Xie Jinling quietly with his eyes under his fingers. After confirming that Xie Jinling was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately!

Zhang Jiayi said in his heart, but then he suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

How come it suddenly became chilly!

Zhang Jiayi touched his arm and pinpointed the source of the chill to Jian Yi.

Could it be that he was too noisy and disturbed this academic genius from doing his exercise book?

But Zhang Jiayi always felt that it should not be just this reason.

At this time, the class bell rang.

Before the teacher came into the classroom, Zhang Jiayi had to put the school anniversary program aside and sit back in his seat.

As soon as the bell rang, Zhang Jiayi sat in the empty seat next to Lin Ye on time.

But this time, as soon as he sat down, Lin Anan also came over.

I don't know if it was because of something that Lin Anan thought of during class, but his expression was a little excited.

She walked to the third row from the bottom and exchanged seats with the classmate sitting in front of Xie Jinling. "Xie Jinling, I have a bold idea." Xie Jinling

raised her eyes and said calmly, "Is it related to me?"

Lin Anan nodded, "Yes."

Zhang Jiayi interrupted, "Lin Anan, you always have to follow a first come first served rule. I haven't settled my show yet, and you..."

Lin Anan interrupted him, "I want to talk about the show."

Zhang Jiayi, "Huh?"

"Didn't you say that each class needs to have two shows this year?"

"Then?"

"Then I think we can put on a stage play."

Zhang Jiayi understood Lin Anan's meaning in an instant, "Do you want Xie Jinling to participate?"

Lin Anan's lips curled up: "I have thought of the script!"

She looked at Xie Jinling: "A young Miao boy from an ancient tribe has the best witchcraft in the world. He is mysterious and charming, and is good at bewitching people."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Ye in the last row: "The powerful villain regent disguised himself and went deep into Miaojiang alone to learn the best witchcraft. He is sinister and morbid, and is good at playing power games."

Lin Ye: "?"

Sinister? Pathological? Playing power games?

Lin Ye wondered if he had been too nice to Lin Anan recently.

Lin Anan finally looked at Jian Yi again. Her lips moved slightly. After hesitating for two seconds, she said, "The righteous and pure martial arts leader, the prince who was abandoned by the people when he was young, is self-disciplined and dedicated to upholding justice, for..."

"Stop!" Zhang Jiayi made a pause gesture: "Lin Anan, listen to it yourself, does this look like a stage play script?"

Lin Anan subconsciously retorted: "Why not?" Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, isn't this a sudden inspiration for her?

Zhang Jiayi said, "Okay, let's not talk about the script itself first. As for the three people you mentioned, tell me, which one will participate?"

Xie Jinling, Lin Ye, Jian Yi.

It is already difficult to convince any one of them to participate, let alone get all three of them to agree at the same time.

Lin Anan naturally thought about the problem Zhang Jiayi mentioned.

She glanced at Xie Jinling and whispered, "Maybe it's not as difficult as I imagined."

She actually had a vague intuition in her heart, that is, as long as Xie Jinling was convinced, the other two might not be very difficult.

So the most important thing is to look at Xie Jinling.

The script can be changed.

If the stage play doesn't work, then it can be a musical. If the musical doesn't work, then change to something else.

But the person who will participate in the performance must be decided.

Lin Anan thought so and directly expressed her feelings.

Zhang Jiayi nodded.

He had no objection to this.

It was indeed necessary to determine the person first. And the person who needed to be determined was undoubtedly Xie Jinling.

Both Lin Anan and Zhang Jiayi felt that a unique existence like Xie Jinling in Chenglin High School should shine at the school celebration.

Such a special and ready-made resource cannot be wasted like this.

Lin Anan and Zhang Jiayi looked at each other.

The next second, Lin Anan turned her gaze back to Xie Jinling: "Don't rush to refuse, think about it more, okay?"

After she finished speaking, she immediately said: "And if you agree to participate, I guess Senior Sister Shen Yan should also be looking forward to it."
