Chapter 155 Christmas Eve

November 12th, the winter solstice.

Bai Yang was late for the first time.

There was no air conditioning in the rented house, and I felt drowsy wrapped in the quilt. When I woke up, it was already seven o'clock. I rushed to the classroom, and the morning self-study class was already half over.

Fortunately, the squad leader is one of us.

He also handed over four big buns.

"You got up so late, were you too excited last night and stayed up late?" she joked with a smile.

Bai Yang munched on his bun while mumbling, "It was fine last night, but I was sealed by the quilt this morning."

Zhong Xilu curled her lips and said, "Is that onion too comfortable to hold?"

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhong, why are you so obsessed with that green onion? Next time it's your birthday, I'll give you one too."

"Don't even think about finding out when my birthday is!" Zhong Xilu quickly ended the topic.

At noon, I went to the Cultural Building again to attend the first rehearsal of the New Year's Day art performance.

I met Zeng Jianeng and Yan Ziqian at the door.

"Why are you here?"

Bai Yang greeted.

"I missed it last time, so I must join in the fun this time." Zeng Jianeng chuckled.

Bai Yang casually greeted Yan Ziqian again: "Hello."

We have met several times. Even if we are friends of friends, it is not reasonable to ignore it.

"Hello!" Yan Ziqian lowered her head instinctively.

Blushed.

This seemed to be the first time that I had a real conversation with Bai Yang.

Unfortunately, Zeng Jianeng was not a person who knew how to read the atmosphere. He did not consider Yan Ziqian's wish to take the opportunity to continue chatting, and directly pulled her into the dance studio.

The rehearsal went on as planned, except that Yan Ziqian seemed a little too nervous and made some mistakes in her piano playing, for which she was scolded by the judges.

"There are only a few of us here now. If you make a mistake, when the official performance comes, all the students in the school will be in the audience!"

"By then, won't you be able to play it?"

"You have to think carefully about how to relieve your nervousness. Otherwise, if you make a mistake on stage, it won't just be you who will be embarrassed."

After being scolded, Yan Ziqian looked like she was about to cry.

Zeng Jianeng hurried over to comfort her: "What are you afraid of? It's best to deal with nervousness. When you get on stage, just treat the audience as if they are all stupid people!"

"You saw this method on TV, right?" Bai Yang couldn't help but complain, "It's not that easy to overcome the nervousness of performing in public."

Even he, when he performed in front of others for the first time in his previous life, couldn't help but tremble in his hands when playing the guitar - that was just a friendly guest appearance in a friend's pub, in front of only a dozen people.

“If you want to not be nervous, or at least not to the extent that it affects your performance, you need habit and experience.”

Bai Yang looked at Yan Ziqian and said, "You can try to perform in a crowded place in the school first, so that you can get used to the feeling of being watched."

Yan Ziqian still lowered her head and whispered, "I-I don't dare."

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Zeng Jianeng said, "Yesterday, you were surrounded by so many people and you remained calm."

"Our Xiaoqian is very timid, okay."

Bai Yang's mouth twitched, and he said, "I didn't keep a straight face yesterday." He paused, and said seriously, "It's better to think about it carefully and don't force yourself."

There is still more than a week left until the New Year's Day art performance. Even if I ask the judges to withdraw, there is still time to find a replacement program. Otherwise, if a performance accident really happens, not to mention other people's reactions, it will definitely be very uncomfortable for me.

Imagine the feeling of being so nervous that you perform terribly in front of thousands of people and then being embarrassed. Bai Yang didn't think the little girl in front of him could bear it.

Being extrovert for a moment may result in being introvert for a lifetime.

Of course, this is just a possibility. Bai Yang is not familiar with the other party, so he would not persuade him openly.

Yan Ziqian nodded: "I will try my best!"

The 24th, Christmas Eve.

I don’t know when the custom of giving apples as gifts became popular, but on that day, the fruit shops near the school made a lot of money.

Apples are usually sold by the pound, but now they are sold by the individual, and are randomly packaged. The price has skyrocketed, and they are sold for eight yuan each. But they are still sold out.

It was obviously just a small festival, but it turned into a carnival. Gifts were given to classmates, friends, and secret crushes, especially the latter - Zhong Xilu's table was already full of gifts.

This is because I refused all the apples from strangers and only accepted the gifts from people in my class.

"You probably can't finish all these apples, right?"

Bai Yang complained.

"This is all from everyone's heart." Zhong Xilu glanced at Bai Yang and said, "I didn't see you give me one?"

"With our relationship, why do we need all this nonsense?" Bai Yang spread his hands. "Besides, I really can't accept being ripped off so blatantly by the fruit shop owner."

"The reason behind this is the most important, right?" Zhong Xilu said unhappily, "Then why didn't you refuse those girls from other classes who came to give you apples today?"

Of course, it was not only Zhong Xilu who received apples, Bai Yang also received a lot.

As expected, the two brothers Wu Bo and Li Yang would definitely not be absent. Lu Chaoxi also came specially to give one. Xiao Zhenzhen, needless to say, the one with the most fancy packaging was given by her. In addition, there were a few girls from other classes who I didn't know -

Bai Yang was also surprised by this. With such a bad reputation in school, how could there be a little girl who had a crush on him?
So he happily accepted it.

"Oh, I'm afraid they'll cry if I refuse." Bai Yang explained, "It's a big festival, so it's better to be harmonious."

He changed the subject: "Xiao Zhong, what do you say we should take these apples and set up a stall next to the fruit stand at the school gate? Aren't they out of stock there?"

“I’m sure I’ll make a lot of money!”

Zhong Xilu rolled his eyes: "You are a famous writer who earns more than 100,000 yuan a month, and you are still greedy for such a small amount of money?"

"A mosquito's leg is also meat." Bai Yang was just joking. He opened a gift box at random, took out an apple and rubbed it, "Would you like to have a bite?"

".Please wash it. What's the point of rubbing it? Your hands are not much cleaner than the apple itself."

"You won't get sick if you don't eat it cleanly."

Bai Yang took a bite and squinted his eyes: "Don't tell me, apples are sweet in winter."

"Tomorrow is Christmas, what are your plans?" Zhong Xilu asked.

"I don't have any plans." Bai Yang answered casually: "Why? Comrade Xiao Zhong wants to date me?"

"My best friend is back to celebrate Christmas. Do you want to go shopping together?" Zhong Xilu made the invitation without any hesitation.

Bai Yang nodded: "Okay."

"As long as she doesn't mind me disturbing you."

As expected, I still feel uneasy about asking for leave, so I forced myself to close the game and start typing. I'll post as much as I can.
