Chapter 1975 — Overcome with Excitement
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Hello, everyone! This is Xu Shilan!" Seeing that everyone had gathered, Xu Shilan smiled at them all and said, "I'm in the recording studio right now, laying down backing vocals for my new album today. Stealing a moment from the busy schedule to meet with you all!"
"This isn't some pre-recorded interview video, is it?" You Panhu simply could not figure it out — how on earth had Bai Weituo gotten Xu Shilan to come? Back then, he had approached Xu Shilan in the name of the You family, and not only had he failed to secure her, he had been sent away with a bloody nose. You Panhu had never gotten over it.
Wei Zhao had not allowed Bai Weituo to say that Xu Shilan was invited by him, so Bai Weituo could only say vaguely that Xu Shilan had come because he had personally invited her. That was precisely why no one believed him — how could a first-year freshman have the standing to know a red-hot star like Xu Shilan?
"Exactly, Bai Weituo — this isn't a pre-recorded video, is it?" At that moment, someone heard You Panhu's doubt and immediately grew suspicious as well.
"Young Master You Panhu of the You family, hello. We meet again." Hearing You Panhu's doubt, Xu Shilan smiled slightly and said lightly.
You Panhu had not expected Xu Shilan to actually remember him, and even to speak to him. He was instantly very embarrassed. "Haha, I was only joking..."
In front of his classmates, You Panhu naturally did not dare mention his past attempt to put Xu Shilan under his implicit rules. He gave a laugh and steered the topic away.
By now, however, no one doubted anymore that this was a recorded video, because a recording could not interact, and it could not possibly hold a conversation with You Panhu.
"Xu Shilan, I like you so much!"
"Xu Shilan, could I have your autograph?"
"Xu Shilan, what songs are on your new album? Could you give us a little preview?"
"Xu Shilan, are you really coming tomorrow? Will you take us to the freshman gala?"
When everyone realized that the Xu Shilan before them really was Xu Shilan, they were beside themselves with excitement, firing off one question after another until Xu Shilan could not answer at all.
"Could everyone quiet down for a moment first? I understand how you all feel, but my time here is limited. I only just managed to get a short leave from my manager to meet you all, so please just listen to me for now, all right?" Xu Shilan's voice came through again, and the boiling dorm room fell silent once more.
Hearing that Xu Shilan had come to meet them in the midst of her busy schedule, everyone closed their mouths one after another.
"As you all know, I was asked by a friend to join you for the freshman gala. But because of my scheduling here, the earliest I can reach Donghai City is tomorrow afternoon, so our time together is very limited!" Xu Shilan said. "And if we want to take first place at the school's freshman gala, my popularity alone won't be enough — we'll need everyone's cooperation too. Otherwise, even if I go on stage, if we're not in sync, we still won't get a high score. Right?"
After hearing Xu Shilan's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
"So I'll tell you all the song we'll be performing. You practice the harmony parts first, and once I arrive tomorrow, a few more rehearsals will be enough. Do you all have the confidence to take first place with me?" Xu Shilan asked.
"Yes!" Most of these boys were Xu Shilan's fans, and even those who were not — how could they refuse an invitation from such a beautiful girl? So the moment Xu Shilan finished speaking, everyone answered in unison.
"Good. Since you have confidence, then you must work hard. If we don't take first place by then, I'll be terribly embarrassed!" Xu Shilan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely work hard!" One boy was the first to speak up — none other than that fellow named Jia Changqing from before.
