In the days that followed, Director Liu did keep quiet, and there was not a whisper about Leroy Davis donating money at the school. In the eyes of his classmates, Leroy Davis was still the same uncompromisingly poor man.
He would go to rehearse with Long Ling and the others whenever he had time, only after the first few times, Long Ling’s attitude towards Leroy Davis was even colder.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the orientation party.
On the Round Moon Square of Jiangnan University, a steel structure dazzling stage was set up in the morning, and in the afternoon when the sun set in the west, the steel structure stage lit up with blue lights, shining in silence, waiting for the night to fall and the party to begin.
Leroy Davis took a full afternoon nap, got up at this point, got cleaned up and dressed, and ran in the direction of the stage.
He came to the area behind the stage where the actors were preparing for the show, and changed into the costumes for the show. Long Ling and Cao Ning had not yet come over, and Leroy Davis saw that there were several students in suits in the venue, maintaining order in the venue, and his own roommate, Zhang Qi, was also there.
Leroy Davis thought of his performance later, to jump and dance on the stage, do not drop the phone on the stage, so he ran to Zhang Qi’s side, let him take the phone, wait for his performance and then ask him for it.
At this time, the actors are making preparations, Leroy Davis, the show’s back-up dancer member Zhang Xiaoshan is angry, she just went to an off-campus restaurant with a classmate for dinner, and left a very important prop —- hairband in the restaurant.
Zhang Xiaoshan want to stage to the hotel so far away, go to the may not be able to find that hair band, the heart is torn in the end to find, or not.
Suddenly, she saw Leroy Davis, a twinkle in her eye, came to the idea, this boy long hands and feet, run up must be fast, let him go to help me look at the good.
“Leroy Davis, I forgot my prop hairband at the ‘Fragrance Manor’ off campus, can you go bring it for me?” Zhang Xiaoshan walked up to Leroy Davis and said anxiously.
“You can go by yourself, there is still more than an hour before the start, you can catch up” said Leroy Davis. This Zhang Xiaoshan is when he is stupid is it, why you lost something, let me go to find it for you.
“Aiya, if I have time myself still let you go ah, later I have to help Long Ling to wear the performance clothes, I go, who help Long Ling, do you want Cao Shao to help Long Ling to wear?” Zhang Xiaoshan said, so many days she can not see, Leroy Davis secretly secretly in love with Long Ling, so use Long Ling to provoke him.
“Are you serious?” Leroy Davis asked.
“You’re not going, right? Well, I’ll go by myself, let Cao help Long Ling get dressed,” Zhang Xiaoshan pretended to say when she saw that Leroy Davis was hooked.
“Okay, I’ll go find it for you, you stay here” Leroy Davis hurriedly stood up, thinking of the image of Cao Ning dressing Long Ling, Leroy Davis was afraid, he said to Zhang Xiaoshan, hurriedly ran towards the off-campus Fragrant Mansion.
“Humph, little poor man, you are really devoted to Long Ling,” Zhang Xiaoshan sighed with a smile and sat leisurely on the chair.
At this time, Cao Ning and Long Ling phase followed, they have both painted makeup and put on the performance clothes.
“Hasn’t Leroy Davis come over yet?” Cao Ning asked with a frown.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said, “Well, Cao Shao, this kid takes the party too seriously”
Cao Ning grunted and said, “It’s better if this kid doesn’t make a fool of himself on stage.”
At this time, Long Ling’s cell phone rang, it was his sister Long Yan calling, Long Ling picked up the phone.
“Hey, sis, you’re having a welcome party tonight, right? I want to go see it,” Long Yan’s sweet voice came out of the phone.
“Then you can take a taxi yourself, my show is still in the back, you can come over and see” said Long Ling laughing.
“It’s dark now, I’m afraid of being alone, why don’t… why don’t you let… let Leroy Davis come and pick me up, I’m relieved to have him here” said Long Yan a little embarrassed.
“But…” Long Ling still wanted to say to her sister that Leroy Davis was also the one who performed the show, but she knew that her sister asked Leroy Davis to pick her up and actually wanted to meet Leroy Davis, thinking that her show was quite backward, even if Leroy Davis She thought her own show was quite late, even if Leroy Davis went to pick up her sister, she could still make it, so she said, “Okay, I’ll have him pick you up now …”
“Thank you sis, I’m here at the KFC on Zaihang Road, you tell him to come over and call me…” Long Yan finished and hung up the phone.
Long Ling shook her head, she found Leroy Davis’s cell phone number on a list of party people’s phone numbers, and pressed the number to call, thinking that if she called him this time, she wouldn’t make him think she was starting to have a crush on him too, right?
Long Ling thought about it for a few minutes and finally did not choose to call, but sent a text message asking Leroy Davis to pick up his sister from the re-route.
At 8 o’clock at night, there was a black mass of people sitting under the stage, all freshmen of Jiangnan University, surrounded by 2 or 3 circles of sophomores and juniors standing around, a blinding light, the welcome party officially kicked off! One by one, the program took turns on stage, the stage applause, cheers a stronger than one.
Leroy Davis had a hard time finding Zhang Xiaoshan’s lost hairband and finally returned to the back court, where Zhang greeted her, said thank you, and brought her own hairband.
Leroy Davis looked at Long Ling, who was watching the show intently, and asked Zhang Xiaoshan in a whisper, “You put Long Ling’s dress on, right?”
Zhang Xiaoshan touched his nose and laughed: “Don’t worry, it’s me, Cao Shao didn’t touch Long Ling with a single finger”
Leroy Davis was relieved and felt that this time he went to help Zhang Xiaoshan to get the hairband, he was a bit tired, but it was still worth it.
Leroy Davis slowly walked over to Long Ling and sat down. Long Ling saw Leroy Davis coming and thought he must have brought his sister after taking so long, so he asked, “Brought it?”
These days Long Ling seldom talked to Leroy Davis, this time Leroy Davis was actually a little flattered, he thought Long Ling was asking if Zhang Xiaoshan’s hair belt had come back, so he nodded and smiled, “I brought it.”
“That’s good,” Long Ling said lightly, her turn for the show was coming up, and she didn’t need to rush to meet with Long Yan.
Just listen to the host on stage said loudly, “This next program is the one you are most looking forward to, “Chasing Dreams with Red Heart”, performed by Cao Ning, Long Ling, Dong Yi, Zhang Xiaoshan, Leroy Davis …”
After the host announced the curtain, a cheering sound rang out from the stage, boys and girls screamed with joy, Cao Ning is the girls’ eyes Prince Charming, Long Ling is the boys’ eyes of Jiangda Goddess, this pair of golden girl beads together, how not to let people look forward to.
Before Cao Ning and the others walked onto the stage, the stage was completely boiling.
The boys yelled “Dragon Spirit, Dragon Spirit, Dragon Spirit”.
Not to be outdone, the girls called out, “Cao Shao, Cao Shao, Cao Shao …”
Cao Ning and the others walked on stage from backstage, and some of the audience on stage covered their mouths and jumped up, looking very excited.
As soon as the lights went out, the whole room silenced in silence, no sound at all.
With the gradual lighting up of the lights, the musical accompaniment sounded, Long Ling’s distant singing voice floated out.
“Where exactly is the world full of flowers
If it really exists then I will definitely go
I want to stand on the highest peak there
Don’t care if it’s a cliffhanger”
The dragon spirit’s song stopped, and Cao Ning then sang.
“Live hard, love hard, even if the liver and brain are destroyed
Do not ask anyone to be satisfied as long as they can afford themselves
I never chose to give up on my ideal
Even in the dusty days”
The two of them took turns singing on stage while Leroy Davis was behind them, doing a running, jumping and stretching motion to set the song’s combative mood.
Just watching the singing with deep eyes on each other, Leroy Davis’ heart began to ache vaguely, a feeling that hadn’t been present during the usual rehearsals, but was now especially evident under the lights, music and the thousands of spectators present.
Leroy Davis was doing the dance moves mechanically.
The song reached its climax. The climax is the chorus of Long Ling and Cao Ning, their voices are a perfect match, particularly well matched.
“Run forward to meet the cold eyes and ridicule
How can we feel the vastness of life without experiencing trials and tribulations?
Fate it cannot bring us to our knees and beg for mercy
Even if the blood is spilled in the arms”
Long Ling and Cao Ning hand in hand, with the rhythm of the music in the step, driving the audience on stage also followed them loudly singing, 2, 3000 people singing the same song, the sound is huge, the scene is spectacular.
Leroy Davis noticed only the affectionate gaze of Long Ling and Cao Ning, who should have sprinted like a sprint from the left side of the stage to the right, but Leroy Davis stopped and stood behind Long Ling, staring at them both in disbelief.
Dong Yi and Zhang Xiaoshan how to remind, Leroy Davis can not hear.
Fortunately, the entire audience was already so engrossed by Long Ling and Cao Ning’s songs that they couldn’t even see a dancer standing still on the stage.
“No compromise until you get old”
At the end of the song, Long Ling and Cao Ning embraced each other, thunderous applause rang out from the stage, I don’t know where to start, someone shouted “together, together …”, the sound became more and more powerful, and finally the whole audience together shouted: “together, together”, resounding throughout the campus: “Together, together”, resonated throughout the campus.
Cao Ning took Long Ling’s hand, he stared at Long Ling’s eyes, distinctly like, his heart agitated, slowly approaching Long Ling’s small face, Long Ling’s heart was complicated, in the sound of so many people’s coaxing, she did not know what she should do, Cao Ning’s face was about to stick to Long Ling’s face.
Suddenly, Cao Ning was pushed away, he stumbled a few times, almost fell, and saw that it was Leroy Davis who pulled Long Ling and pushed him away, and was immediately furious.
The audience on stage was also going to be angry, Leroy Davis ruined the picture they expected to see, the audience shouted loudly cursing Leroy Davis, heckling sound to the stage like waves.
“Fuck, what for!”
“Kid, don’t you want to live?”
“Steal my goddess ah”
“Push my god! Looking for death”
“Why are you like this?”
…
“Come with me!” Leroy Davis is ignoring what the people on stage scolded himself, he just can’t see Long Ling being kissed by other people, Leroy Davis finished speaking, pulled Long Ling and ran backstage.
“Holy shit, you kid are deliberately messing up, right!” Director Lai Xi and several actors from backstage surrounded Leroy Davis, and at that moment, Cao Ning also walked down from the stage.
“Call some people from the sports department and give him a good beating…” said Cao Ning angrily to Li Xi, who responded and was about to ask the others to call someone.
“Don’t go,” said Dragon Spirit suddenly.
“Long Ling, you still protect him,” Cao Ning said discontentedly.
Long Ling glanced at Leroy Davis, then looked at Cao Ning and said, “I’m not protecting him, he hasn’t done anything wrong, why are you looking for someone to beat him up”
Long Ling said so, Cao Ning immediately understood, Long Ling is saying that he was ready to kiss her on stage is offensive to her, Leroy Davis did not do anything wrong.
After saying that, the dragon spirit himself walked to a chair and sat down.
Cao Ning’s heart secretly screamed bad, originally he wanted to take advantage of the audience’s uproar, and Long Ling’s relationship further, did not expect to provoke Long Ling angry instead.
“Cao Shao, still call the sports department?” Lai Xi asked.
Cao Ning glared at him and immediately walked quickly to sit down next to Long Ling, Li Xi shrank in fear and also walked next to Cao Ning to see if he could help persuade Long Ling.
“Long Ling, I was wrong, just now on the stage I was too excited, my mind was empty, that’s why I did what I did, will you forgive me?” Cao Ning said earnestly to Long Ling.
Long Ling listened to his sincere words, and then thought that she was not really kissed by him, she still appreciated Cao Ning’s talent, so she nodded: “This time forget it, by the way, just now our performance on stage, it seems to be quite successful, the audience liked it very much”
“Well, can’t you see that everyone is singing along with us?” Seeing that Long Ling had forgiven him, Cao Ning was finally relieved.
“Long Ling, Cao Shao, your performance is very good, but you do not see, this Davis surname when you sing to the high. If not for your two excellent singing, the show would have been ruined by this kid,” said Lai Xi, pointing to Leroy Davis.
