Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 935

At first, the homeroom teacher showed a perplexed expression when she saw the two of them signing up. Looking at Shao Yan, the teacher asked hesitantly, “Shao Yan, can you recite?”

Shao Yan glanced at Chu Xiang and replied, “Teacher, I can recite.”

The homeroom teacher was taken aback, and all the teachers in the office turned their gaze toward Shao Yan. It had been two and a half years since he enrolled, and this was the first time they had heard him speak!

Chu Xiang smiled and said, “Teacher, how about we recite a segment for you to listen to?”

“Huh? Sure, sure.” The homeroom teacher was still a bit caught off guard, but then the two students in front of her began reciting, a. Tnd they even used a recitation tone, which was incredibly engaging.

She immediately clapped her hands and stood up, saying with a smile, “I didn’t expect you two to have this talent! Your recitation was excellent. Show me the script. If there are no issues, practice well and give a great performance.” Afterward, she patted Shao Yan’s shoulder with satisfaction and said, “Shao Yan, I don’t know why you didn’t want to speak before, but since you’re getting along well with Chu Xiang and willing to make friends and speak and perform, continue developing in a positive direction. Don’t return to how you were before.”

Shao Yan nodded without speaking. Chu Xiang smiled and said, “Teacher, rest assured, Shao Yan saved my life. I will definitely help him overcome difficulties. It’s only natural for classmates to help each other.”

“Good, both of you are good kids.”

Chu Xiang, who was once isolated in the class, now excelled academically and had a good reputation. Shao Yan, who used to be withdrawn, was now speaking and making friends. Chen Xuan, who had schemed against others, had transferred to another class. The homeroom teacher came to work every day with a good mood and a smile on her face while preparing teaching materials.

A teacher sitting across from her whispered, “Shao Yan has changed so much. Is it because of Chu Xiang’s influence? They seem to eat together every day. These young boy and girl, could they be dating?”

The homeroom teacher paused for a moment, then shook her head. “No, didn’t you hear what Chu Xiang just said? They’re just helping each other.”

“I think you should keep an eye on them. Both of these kids have good grades and are promising students, but they must not be hindered by early romantic relationships.”

“I know, thank you for reminding me.” The homeroom teacher also had some concerns in her mind and decided to observe these two students.

The school’s cultural and arts festival was organized to allow students to relax and not be too focused on studying all the time. The students showcased their various talents through performances. There were energetic songs and dances, dramas, cross talk, skits, musical instruments, ethnic dances, and more. The students enthusiastically applauded and cheered non-stop. When some students performed belly dancing, many others whistled in response. And when there were amusing cross talk performances, laughter filled the air.

When it was Chu Xiang and Shao Yan’s turn, all the students were stunned. They didn’t know that Shao Yan would also participate in the performance, but the problem was… he didn’t speak, so what would he perform?

Shao Yan was undoubtedly the most popular boy in school. His appearance had remained unchanged since he enrolled, so all the students recognized him. When they saw him stepping onto the stage, everyone fell silent, including the school’s teachers and the principal, who were all watching him.

Chu Xiang smiled as she announced the title of their poetry recitation. Shao Yan was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, while Chu Xiang wore a red long-sleeved dress. The outfits were prepared by Mrs. Shao and perfectly accentuated their physical advantages. The two of them standing on the stage appeared like a match made in heaven.

Two spotlights were focused on them, and they opened the folders in their hands, beginning their heartfelt recitation.

Chu Xiang always had a warm smile on her lips, while Shao Yan remained as cold as ice. However, when they stood together, they seemed exceptionally harmonious. The poem they recited was filled with the passion for pursuing dreams. Everyone went from being surprised by Shao Yan speaking to marveling at how well they complemented each other. Then, they listened attentively to every sentence and every word of their recitation, afraid to make even the slightest sound and disturb them.

When they reached the end of their recitation, a sudden wave of applause erupted from the students. Many of them stood up excitedly and shouted “Bravo!” Some were moved to tears, while others were ignited with passion. They were high school students, each with their own dreams and boundless expectations for the future. The content of the poetry recitation awakened their motivation and drive to pursue their dreams.

The teachers looked at each other and wore expressions of satisfaction. If school activities could inspire students like this every time, the school wouldn’t mind organizing more of them. Monotonous academic life could easily lead to complacency, and students needed motivation. This poetry recitation was excellent and undoubtedly the highlight of the cultural and arts festival.

Chen Xuan looked at Chu Xiang on the stage. She was radiant and shining. This made her once again feel the gap between herself and Chu Xiang. She tried to please Mrs. Chu like a loyal dog, yet Chu Xiang was increasingly admired by everyone. She didn’t like this feeling. Wasn’t it just a performance? Wasn’t it just about money? If these people didn’t give her a path, she could still walk her own path.

Seeing how happy Chu Xiang was performing on such a small stage, would Chen Xuan envy her if she saw Chu Xiang shining on the big screen, with so many fans following her and making a lot of money?

Chen Xuan knew the future direction of the entertainment industry for the next twenty years. If she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely become popular. She didn’t believe that Chu Xiang’s stock market investments would always bring her money. In a few years, they would see who was up in the sky and who was down on earth!
