Chapter 186 Charging before going on stage
Perhaps because the students of Shilan Middle School were used to watching conventional art performances, the fencing performance of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang unexpectedly received an unprecedented response.

Even after Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang left the stage, there were still shouts of "one more" from the audience.

Right, who still watches chanting-like hymns and formulaic talent shows nowadays?
The only highlight of the school anniversary party is when the handsome men and beautiful women appear. I take advantage of this rare opportunity to stare at the male and female idols openly to look at them a few more times, so as to deeply imprint the appearance of my dream lover in my mind.

Even for Liu Miaomiao, who plays the piano quite well, not many people actually care about her performance. Most people just want to linger on her beautiful face for a while longer.

But at this moment, backstage, this beautiful school girl who plays the piano very well, was jogging down from the director's office, holding up the hem of her dress, without caring at all that she was still wearing high heels.

It was not until she saw Lu Mingfei coming down from the stage at the corner that she jumped into his arms, not caring at all about the many students walking back and forth backstage.

MD! They are showing off their affection even backstage at the party. Are there any laws? The boys backstage were furious.

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang beside him. Chu Zihang was quite tactful. He nodded to Lu Mingfei and went back to the lounge first.

"How can you perform such a dangerous show!"

Liu Miaomiao pouted, her eyes misty, her words angry, but her face showing a worried look, "If I had known that the show you were going to perform was so dangerous, I shouldn't have listened to you and changed the show... Let me see if you are injured!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Mingfei touched Liu Miaomiao's head and comforted her, "The performance seemed to be quite successful. After I got off the stage just now, I checked the time with Senior Brother Chu, and it was just right."

“Who cares about this now?”

Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips and muttered, but she heard Lu Mingfei immediately reply: "I do care! If we don't manage our time well, Miaomiao, won't you be able to play your favorite song "Girl's Prayer" wholeheartedly?"

Liu Miaomiao was stunned. She was still worried about whether Lu Mingfei was injured, but she didn't expect Lu Mingfei to not care about her condition at all, but only care about whether she could perform well next time. All the resentment caused by worry in her heart dissipated at this moment.

Liu Miaomiao pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Don't worry, don't you think about who your girlfriend is..."

When she said the words "your girlfriend", Liu Miaomiao quickly lowered her head shyly, two blushes appeared on her face, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

But the next moment, she bit her lip, raised her head, looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and said, her eyes were as firm as a Valkyrie about to go on stage:
"Ming Fei, you have done so much for me, I have to perform well too!" Liu Miaomiao said with a smile.

When Lu Mingfei heard the shy and expressionless Liu Miaomiao take the initiative to say that she was his girlfriend, he knew that this sentence must have taken her a lot of courage.

It seemed that after being with the little girl, she had changed a lot. She became bolder and more active than before. Occasionally, she would reveal some playfulness and tsundere that she had never seen before, and from time to time she would bury her head in her arms and act coquettishly.

He didn't dislike this change. Rather, he was very happy about the change in the person he liked.

In most people's eyes, Liu Miaomiao is a very well-behaved and quiet girl. Only when she is in front of him will she reveal her girlish side. This is a girl that belongs to him alone.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and said, "Then I have to watch you carefully from below the stage."

"Don't you dare not look at me?" Liu Miaomiao snorted, then her beautiful eyes turned slightly and she held Lu Mingfei's hand.

"Come here for a moment." Liu Miaomiao said.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Come here!"

Lu Mingfei leaned on Liu Miaomiao and was pulled all the way to the corner under the stairs behind the stage.

Liu Miaomiao hesitated to speak, looking at Lu Mingfei's face for a moment, then avoiding it again. The cute little look made Lu Mingfei's heart itch, and he finally couldn't help asking.

"Just say whatever you want."

"Well……"

"Ok?"

"want……"

"want?"

"...I want a hug." Liu Miaomiao blushed and said to Lu Mingfei with a bottom-up look.

Lu Mingfei's heart melted.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like he had wasted the past twenty years of his life! Damn! This is youth! What kind of youth is it if you don’t fall in love! The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing, the boys and girls were whispering softly, and their hair was rubbing against each other…

A beautiful and lovely girlfriend holding your hand tenderly and asking you for a loving hug is the scene that every young boy fantasizes about! If you dream of this scene, you will wake up laughing! It is so beautiful that a young man's feelings are always poetic!
Lu Mingfei put his arms around Liu Miaomiao's slender waist. Her waist was so thin, without any excess fat, just enough to be held in one hand; yet it was so soft that if you exerted a little force, she would melt in your arms.

Liu Miaomiao leaned her head against Lu Mingfei's arms, feeling his body temperature, smelling his scent, and listening to her own heartbeat. "You know what?" Liu Miaomiao said, "I actually have stage fright. I always get nervous easily before going on stage."

"I don't know." Lu Mingfei said truthfully. He really didn't know that Liu Miaomiao, who had to perform on stage at every evening party, actually had stage fright.

"Now you know. Because I have stage fright, even though I passed the tenth level of piano a long time ago, I never dared to take exams above the performance level."

Liu Miaomiao gently pressed her face against Lu Mingfei's chest. "But every time I hug you, even though my heart is always beating non-stop, my mind is very calm and I feel extremely at ease. It's as if my whole body is fully charged with electricity."

"So you want to hug me because you're going to go on stage soon and you're a little nervous?"

"Yes—" Liu Miaomiao said, "but not entirely! Another reason is... I just simply want you to hug me."

The two of them were talking in secret, secret love words that only lovers can have. Lu Mingfei asked, "Now that you are fully charged, are you still nervous?"

"I'm still a little nervous." Liu Miaomiao raised her face and said, "So you have to cooperate with me!"

"How do you want me to cooperate?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Liu Miaomiao closed her eyes.

……

When they returned to the lounge, Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao's faces were flushed. Lu Mingfei didn't expect that after falling in love with him, Liu Miaomiao would become more and more courageous. One kiss was not enough, she wanted to keep kissing like they did on the terrace of the gymnasium in the afternoon.

When Liu Miaomiao's body became soft after being kissed, and she melted and nestled in Lu Mingfei's arms, Liu Miaomiao pouted and ended this intimacy with a look of unsatisfied look in her eyes.

If she didn't have to perform piano on stage next, Lu Mingfei suspected that Liu Miaomiao would take a break and then fight him again.

It was outrageous! Usually the little girl was shy and reserved, and her face blushed as if blood was dripping out when holding hands. Lu Mingfei really thought she was a girl with a plain personality, and he didn't realize that the little girl had the potential to be a beauty who brought disaster!

"You guys are finally back? If you hadn't come back I would have gone to look for you."

Chu Zihang looked at the two people with abnormal expressions. Liu Miaomiao's lips were lighter than before, and Lu Mingfei's mouth was obviously redder, as if he had just eaten Sichuan hot pot. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the two of them had just done something shameless.

However, Chu Zihang did not say anything, but said calmly: "We have already performed the 39th show. Liu Miaomiao, go and touch up your makeup first, because you will be on stage soon."

Shit! Lu Mingfei still remembered that his and Chu Zihang's program was ranked 21st, but in the blink of an eye, program number 39 was already being performed. So how long did they kiss just now?
When Liu Miaomiao heard Chu Zihang say this, she knew that she must have been discovered because she fed Lu Mingfei too much lipstick. She hurried back to the dressing room with a shy face and asked the makeup artist to help her touch up her lip makeup and adjust her dress.

After finishing her makeup, it was the turn of the 41st program to go on stage. Although Liu Miaomiao's program number was 43rd, she had to prepare in advance on the sidelines.

After exchanging glances with Lu Mingfei and receiving Lu Mingfei's affirmative look, Liu Miaomiao nodded and walked to the waiting area beside the stage, waiting to go on stage.

"Let's go?" Chu Zihang tilted his head towards Lu Mingfei, "We can't see the front of the stage from backstage, let's go to the director's office."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded. He originally wanted to go back to his class area and watch Liu Miaomiao's performance under the stage. However, the director's office could see more clearly. Since Chu Zihang had invited him, he agreed disrespectfully.

When we returned to the director's office, the 41st group dance performance had just ended. It was followed by a poetry recitation program of Borges's poems, and then it was Liu Miaomiao's turn to give the grand piano solo.

Lu Mingfei looked at the time, 10:19, which was basically the same as what he had planned, with only a difference of a dozen seconds, and these ten seconds could actually be recovered through the host's control.

As long as Liu Miaomiao doesn't make any mistakes, then this evening party performance can be completed without any danger.

It must go smoothly...

Lu Mingfei prayed in his heart, and felt more nervous watching Liu Miaomiao go on stage than he was going on stage himself.

The short poetry recitation ended, and the reciter bowed and stepped back from behind the curtain. The beautiful female host came on stage and glanced at the host card in her hand. Lu Mingfei could see that the female host was as nervous as he was.

"It's okay." Chu Zihang suddenly patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder gently.

Lu Mingfei nodded.

The female host exhaled deeply and raised the microphone calmly:

"Just now, we were immersed in a feast of poetry. Every line of poetry flowed like a spring, cleansing our souls. The world described by Borges has both the romance of magical realism and the depth of realism, which makes people intoxicated."

"At this moment, with the perfect ending of the poetry recitation program, we are about to usher in a different kind of artistic enjoyment. Next, please focus your eyes on the center of the stage and welcome Liu Miaomiao's piano solo performance with applause."
