Chapter 797: 779. No one is allowed to talk about my girlfriend! (3)
Huo Feng returned to the rehearsal classroom immediately after dropping off Pu Sangzhi.
The classmates in the room were resting or practicing their lyrics individually...
The female lead, You Xinran, was also diligently rehearsing her lines and singing, her serious attitude always praised by other students.
However, You Xinran often found dissatisfaction with Huo Feng...
If it weren’t for the fact that in the Musical Club only Huo Feng had the talent and looks to carry the lead role, You Xinran would not tolerate and endure him so much.
The senior who used to partner with You Xinran annually was both good-looking and skilled in singing, and also responsible.
Unfortunately, he quit the club because he was too busy with his senior year studies...
The remaining male members of the Musical Club really had just average looks...
Even if their singing was good, their ordinary looks were not suited for the male lead, and You Xinran was very dissatisfied.
That’s why, as soon as this batch of freshmen joined the club, Huo Feng was quickly given the leading roles because he was both good-looking and talented in singing.
Although, by the later stage of this rehearsal, he indeed showed decent acting skills.
But You Xinran always felt that he lacked a sense of responsibility!
Lack of responsibility was a serious matter!
For example, now, as soon as his girlfriend came, he didn’t care about anything else and just left everything behind to go with her.
It was the same before, always considering his girlfriend!
You Xinran had put in a lot of effort to make him take this seriously, and now, with his girlfriend here, it was the same story...
You Xinran even thought to herself, "Is it the ’beauty brings disaster’? Does he fall so low whenever women are involved?"
Just then...
Right when her thoughts were at their deepest, Huo Feng returned.
"Hey, you’re back."
He greeted everyone in the classroom easily, "Continue the rehearsal."
The classmates followed his commands very closely; at his shout, they immediately returned to their positions and stood in formation.
It was then that only You Xinran approached him and asked fearlessly, "What’s the situation with your girlfriend?"
"What situation?" Huo Feng raised an eyebrow at her.
"Is she seriously ill? Did she have to come here for you to take her back?"
You Xinran spoke bluntly, "The distance from the library here was enough for her to return to the dorm, right?"
Clearly...
You Xinran had issues with Sangzhi!
In this case, having issues with Sangzhi meant having issues with Huo Feng.
Huo Feng was not someone easy to bully; he never tolerated You Xinran’s bad temper, "She just came to tell me she was going back to the dorm and asked me not to go to the library to find her. I insisted on escorting her back. How about that? We’ve been rehearsing all night, can’t I take a 15-minute break?"
"You’re using everyone’s time!" You Xinran raised her voice.
Just as she suddenly burst out like this, the atmosphere in the rehearsal room suddenly cooled...
All students fell silent, watching Huo Feng and You Xinran, whether they were freshmen, sophomores, or juniors, no one spoke.
They all dared not provoke the two formidable figures, Huo Feng and You Xinran.
"What?"
Huo Feng’s eyebrows raised sharply, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes, "Are you arguing with me? Not rehearsing anymore? Try controlling me again?"
Huo Feng’s presence was definitely not weaker than You Xinran’s!
Just a few rhetorical questions made You Xinran’s anger soar!
But...
You Xinran knew she couldn’t argue with him.
Because they were the male and female leads, and if they argued, they couldn’t continue with the rehearsal...
Initially, she just wanted Huo Feng to recognize his mistake.
Unexpectedly, not only did Huo Feng not admit his error, but he also argued back! Truly lacking a sense of responsibility, bad-tempered, and lacking gentlemanly demeanor!
"Okay, okay, it’s not that big a deal, don’t be angry..."
After You Xinran calmed down for half a minute, finally, a sophomore named Wu Di came forward to mediate.
"Let’s not be angry; our time is precious. Let’s continue with the rehearsal and go back to rest early," Wu Di urged.
Realizing the importance of the rehearsal, both Huo Feng and You Xinran stepped back and temporarily suspended their squabble.
Huo Feng waved his hand, unapologetically issuing a warning to everyone, "No one is allowed to speak about my girlfriend!"
His words were meant for You Xinran as well as all the students present.
Thus, the members of the Musical Club not only knew Huo Feng was devoted to his girlfriend, but they also knew his Achilles’ heel was his girlfriend.
Everyone knew not to mess with Huo Feng, so they also noted that his girlfriend was not to be bad-mouthed...
You Xinran’s heart was still unsettled, and she held biases against Huo Feng.
But, the rehearsal continued nonetheless...
And, after suppressing their anger, both Huo Feng and You Xinran quickly got into character again...
...
The next day was Saturday, and also the day of the Musical Club’s "Butterfly Lovers" performance.
The performance began at 1:30 PM and lasted over two hours; with more than twenty scene changes, it was certainly a grand play.
Huo Feng got up early in the morning to rehearse with the Musical Club members.
Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi leisurely left around 1 PM with her roommate, biking to Meng Building.
The performance, besides the school students, also had tickets sold to three tour groups.
Each tour group had 25-30 people, with tickets at 200 yuan each, totaling an income of 16,000 yuan for the Musical Club, which would fund future club activities and trips.
When Pu Sangzhi and her roommate arrived outside the auditorium of Meng Building, they saw the three well-organized senior tour groups lined up.
At Tsinghua, every weekend, the campus welcomed batch after batch of tour groups.
The Tsinghua Campus was open to all visitors, and some of the clubs and students could earn money from this, which was quite normal.
For instance, if Pu Sangzhi and her friends wanted to make money, they could easily work as personal tour guides for a day, charging 200 yuan per person, without any problem.
But...
That wasn’t the focus today.
Today’s focus was on Huo Feng’s performance...
Pu Sangzhi was looking forward to his portrayal of Liang Shanbo...
