Chapter 410: Chapter 410 The Kiss that Captivates Thousands 1
"I must be seeing things! The host is actually Ruan Xixia!" Gasps of astonishment rose from the audience, as Ruan Xixia, dressed in a champagne-colored evening gown with large wavy curls and refined makeup, greeted everyone with a dazzling smile.
Her smile seemed magical, and the entire auditorium became incredibly silent at an unbelievable speed.
"Hello everyone, I am Ruan Xixia." Her voice, elegant and graceful, traveled through the microphone to everyone’s ears.
Ruan Xixia, the top socialite of Ying City and a well-known actress in the entertainment industry, is famous for her capricious attitude of only shooting two films each year and refusing all endorsements.
Yet her films break box office records every year and win countless awards, earning her a high level of recognition and popularity among the nation.
"I believe many of you are surprised why I am the host." Ruan Xixia smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with the brilliant lights reflected by the crystal chandeliers, "As everyone knows, Muying was established 10 years ago, and I, am a first-generation student here. So, my fellow students, you should all call me ’School Sister~’"
The students in the audience excitedly played along: "Hello, School Sister——"
Ruan Xixia paused for a moment, making small talk and playing the kinship card, before she proceeded to announce the program of the school festival, officially kicking it off!
"The school is so impressive, to have invited Sister Xixia over..." Backstage, Ning Xixi marveled while Ji Yebai, already dressed as the Prince, thoughtfully watched the live broadcast on TV. In the front row, Ji Yemo was sitting conspicuously.
Indeed, Sister Xixia must have come for Brother.
Regarding the relationship between Ji Yemo and Ruan Xixia, Ji Yebai didn’t know much, but he was aware of the entanglement between them for the past decade.
Ji Yebai shifted his gaze away, glancing at Ning Xixi dressed as a witch.
Her light purple dress complemented her skin, fairer than snow; her makeup was just right, not overdone nor deliberate. She looked less like a witch and more like an Elf that had fallen to earth.
Dumb, charming, and bright.
"Hey, dumbass, don’t you dare hold me back during our scene later!" Ji Yebai warned with a stern face.
Ning Xixi pouted, "I know, I know."
Stupid Demon, hmph!
On stage, after a series of mesmerizing acts, Ruan Xixia took the microphone again, "And now for the grand finale, a stage play from class 1S — ’Sleeping Beauty.’ Let’s welcome them with the warmest applause~"
The applause roared like waves; the curtain was drawn for the set-up and, once ready, pulled back again.
The moment Xiao Xichen appeared in the extravagant gown, the crowd burst into laughter!
"Ahaha! This must be a fake Sleeping Beauty!"
"Eh? Isn’t that Xiao Xichen? I’m dying of laughter!"
"Thank you, Xiao Xichen, for making my year so joyous!"
Xiao Xichen could hear the audience’s remarks, and his heart was crying tears of sorrow.
His once glorious reputation was about to be ruined; it hurt so much!
But since he had wrought this upon himself, he would have to see it through, even if on his knees.
He cleared his throat, "Tonight, the castle will host the grandest ball, will my Prince appear?"
Then, with the cue of music, the tall, handsome, and alluring Ji Yebai made his entrance, and the crowd burst into even louder screams!
"Mr. Ji is so handsome!"
"The Prince of my heart!"
"..."
And Gong Xiu, playing the role of the stepmother, also became unexpectedly popular!
Because Gong Xiu, dressed as a woman, was truly beautiful!
Afterward, various characters made their entrances, and the performance went on with great fervor...
Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived—
The Prince kissing the slumbering Sleeping Beauty!
