Chapter 60 Teacher, is it really not possible?
Chapter 60 Teacher, is it really not possible?
Backstage at the auditorium, the air was thick with tension and excitement.
Jiang Bai, wrapped in that rather odd-looking long trench coat, hid in the shadows of the curtain like a lurking spy.
He peeked half his head out and glanced at the audience below the stage.
Hey!
It was quite a large-scale operation.
The first row was filled with school leaders. Besides the department head Yan Dao whom I had met before, there were several middle-aged men with serious faces, who were school-level leaders.
Jiang Bai's gaze swept rapidly across the crowd like a radar.
He was searching for the figure that terrified him the most—his counselor, Lao Zhang.
a circle.
Two laps.
No!
"call……"
Jiang Bai pulled his head back, let out a long sigh of relief, and finally felt his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, return to its stomach.
Old Zhang isn't here.
I guess they're busy dealing with other class affairs.
As long as Lao Zhang isn't there, everything will be fine.
Old Zhang... Old Zhang??
"The system."
Jiang Bai's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something important, asking himself:
"If... I mean, if."
"What if the school leaders think my show is too provocative, or find out I'm a man, and they cancel my show?"
"Will I still be able to get my million back?"
The system instantly shattered his illusions:
[Ding! Mission requirement: Perform on stage in women's clothing.]
If the program is canceled, the mission is considered a failure.
The one million reward will not be issued.
"Depend on!"
Jiang Bai cursed inwardly.
Mission failed?
Once the money's in my pocket, there's no way I'm going to give it back!
For that million, this show has to go on! And it has to be aired as smoothly as a rock!
Just as he was frowning and thinking about how to minimize the risks.
Two people could be heard talking nearby.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, our group dancer, Xiao Li, suddenly had an appendicitis attack and went to the hospital."
"Can't we find someone else to replace them? They're all wearing the same clothes, so it'll be hard to tell."
A teacher in charge of coordination, holding a walkie-talkie, waved his hand impatiently:
"Okay, okay, let's change it."
"As long as it doesn't delay my going on stage, there are so many people, no one is staring at my face."
He does not mean that.
Jiang Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Like a flash of lightning in the dark night.
"Got it!"
"Even if I can't be replaced, I can add more people. Isn't that the perfect solution?"
What are the risks now?
The program only has one name: "Jiang Bai"!
Once he goes on stage dressed as a woman, everyone will assume that the beautiful woman is named "Jiang Bai".
But if...
There's more than one person on stage.
What if there's a group of people?
Jiang Bai straightened the collar of his trench coat, took a deep breath, and adjusted his expression.
He walked towards the teacher in charge of backstage coordination.
"Excuse me, teacher."
A clear and sweet voice rang out.
The coordinating teacher turned around.
Although Jiang Bai was wrapped in a coat, concealing her short skirt and figure, her face and eyes still radiated a light that was impossible to ignore.
The teacher paused for a moment, then recognized him:
"Oh! It's you!"
"You mean Jiang, the one who sang 'Love You'?"
The teacher's attitude instantly became kind and approachable.
After all, this is a promising talent who was specifically praised by the head of the performing arts department, and he is the grand finale of tonight's show.
"Is something wrong? Is there a problem with the equipment?"
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"It's not a problem with the equipment."
"That's right, teacher. I went back and thought about it, and I felt that the stage was too big."
"It was just me singing and dancing on stage. Although I could manage, it always felt a bit empty and not lively enough."
"In pursuit of a better stage effect..."
Jiang Bai blinked, his face earnest:
"I would like to request that we add a few more backup dancers."
"Backing dancers?"
The teacher paused, then stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Hmm... now that you mention it, it does make some sense."
"That song is so upbeat, the atmosphere would be even more amazing if more people danced together."
"but……"
The teacher glanced at the time, looking somewhat troubled:
"There's only one week left until the party officially starts."
"Is it too late to add more people now? We still need to rehearse and get them used to each other."
The teacher waved her hand and turned her head back to the screen, clearly not wanting to cause any trouble.
"It's too late, don't bother."
"It's fine if you sing by yourself, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
I was rejected!
Jiang Bai's heart tightened.
That won't do!
If no one can be added, then the name "Jiang Bai" will just hang alone in the performer column, like a sitting duck.
When the time comes, the entire school will be checking the program list and exclaiming, "Wow, that beautiful girl in the short skirt is called Jiang Bai!"
How will he face people at school after that?
We need to add more people! Several more! To muddy the waters!
Since force doesn't work, then we have no choice but to...
Jiang Bai took a deep breath.
[Charm Value 11 (Exceptional)], Full Power Activated!
Ultimate move – [Tears in the Rain]!
He didn't say anything, nor did he throw a tantrum.
He simply lowered his head slightly, his hands nervously twisting together in front of him, like a child who had done something wrong.
Then, she slowly raised her eyelids.
A thin layer of mist instantly covered those clear, bright eyes that seemed to hold the stars and the sea.
Her eyes drooped slightly, and she gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, looking pitiful as if to say, "I know it's troublesome, but I really want to do a good job on the show, please."
"teacher……"
The voice trembled slightly and had a nasal quality, so soft and sweet that it made one's heart flutter.
"Really...it won't work?"
"I know I'm causing you trouble..."
"But...this song..."
"I was the only one up there, the stage was so empty, I... I was worried I'd mess up the performance and embarrass the school..."
boom!
This charming attack directly broke through the psychological defenses of the coordinating teacher!
The teacher looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him, who was on the verge of tears.
In that instant, it felt as if my heart had been squeezed hard by an invisible hand.
Broken.
My heart is breaking!
Such a beautiful, hardworking, and sensible child, just wanting to make the show a little more perfect, what's wrong with that?!
It's just adding a few more people, isn't it?
It's no big deal!
How could I bear to refuse her? It would be so heartless!
"This child...it's so heartbreaking."
The teacher sighed inwardly; his previously firm stance crumbled instantly.
He then recalled Jiang Bai's performance earlier.
I have to say, the stage effects were absolutely amazing!
Even if it's just Jiang Bai alone, he's still the grand finale.
In that case, why not add a few backup dancers?
Even if the backup dancers aren't good enough, even if they just stand there as motionless background figures, as long as Jiang Bai is there, the show will still be explosive and exciting!
"Sigh... Fine, fine!"
The teacher reluctantly took off her glasses, her tone instantly softening:
"Don't be sad! I didn't say it was absolutely impossible!"
"Since it's for the sake of the show, then let's add it!"
"It's just adding a dance partner, right? The teacher agrees!"
