55: Chapter 55: The Leg that Defends the School (Seeking Recommendations)_1

In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of October.

The weather was gradually getting colder.

In the dance practice hall of the Arts Department building of Mist City Arts and Science University, the campus belle, Lin Zhirou, was practicing a dance.

There was another pretty girl nearby, none other than Ding Yue’s sister, Ding Xiaoyou.

“Xiao Rou, the dance you just did was so stunning,” said Ding Xiaoyou, raising her thumb in admiration.

“I feel like my dancing still isn’t good enough.” Lin Zhirou walked over and sat down, ready to rest for a while.

“You’re already so good, Xiao Rou.

You’re the best dancer I’ve ever seen.

What song are you going to pair with that dance for the competition?”

Ding Xiaoyou’s appearance at Mist City Arts and Science University today was due to her weekend off.

Every weekend when she has a day off, she would always visit her brother at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Ever since she met Lin Zhirou on the vacation to the Maldives, Ding Xiaoyou got along with Lin Zhirou as if they were close friends.

They had so much in common, and there was only a year difference in age between them.

“For this dance, I’m planning to pair it with the song ‘Guanghan Palace’,” said Lin Zhirou after giving it some thought.

“Oh, I think I’ve heard that song on Bilibili.”

As an uploader on Bilibili, Ding Xiaoyou had naturally heard the song ‘Guanghan Palace’ before.

As soon as Ding Xiaoyou finished speaking, her phone in her pocket started ringing suddenly.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from her brother, Ding Yue.

“Hello, Brother.”

“Where did you run off to this time?” Ding Yue asked.

Ding Yue had just finished a physics tutorial, and when he came out from the class, his little sister was nowhere to be found.

This girl loved running around the campus, once accidentally wandering into the boy’s dormitory building.

Another time, she went straight to a tiered lecture hall in a classified building to audit a public class.

“I’m at…

um, Xiao Rou, where are we?” Ding Xiaoyou looked at Lin Zhirou in puzzlement and asked.

“We’re in the dance hall of the Arts Department building.”

“Sister, are you hanging out with Lin Zhirou?” Ding Yue heard Lin Zhirou’s voice over the phone.

If she was in the dance hall of the Arts Department, who else could she be with but Lin Zhirou.

Ding Yue knew that after the “unexpected” encounter in the Maldives, Ding Xiaoyou had gotten on pretty well with Lin Zhirou.

“Yup, I’m watching Xiao Rou practice.”

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

“Wait, wait, wait, why are you coming over?”

Beep, beep, beep–

Ding Yue had already hung up the phone.

After leaving the Boxue building, Ding Yue headed towards the Arts Department teaching building.

Five or six minutes later, Ding Yue arrived at the dance hall of the Arts Department teaching building, where only his sister and Lin Zhirou were inside.

“Lin Zhirou, have you chosen your entry for the National College Student Art Festival Music Competition yet?” After walking over, Ding Yue asked the formal question.

“Hmm hmm.”

Lin Zhirou nodded: “I’ve chosen, but I haven’t recorded it yet.”

The preliminary of the National College Art Festival Music Competition adopts an online selection mechanism where universities and colleges from provinces and cities across seven regions of the country participate in online voting.

Eventually, each region selects 100 contestants to proceed to the next stage by votes.

Mist City is part of the Southwest District.

The other six districts are Northeast District, North China District, Central Plains District, Eastern Jiangnan District, Jiangnan District, and Northwest district.

The next stage is held offline in one city from each of the seven regions, judged by professional juries, and finally picked four contestants from each region for the semi-finals.

Ten contestants are selected by professional judges in the semi-finals for the final competition.

College students who sign up for the competition can choose to perform cover songs, pop opera, individually or as a band.

Lin Zhirou signed up for the competition as a single participant, choosing to cover the song “Guanghan Palace” for the preliminaries.

Aside from Lin Zhirou, many other music enthusiasts from Mist City Arts and Science University also signed up for the National College Student Art Festival Music Competition.

After all, the university’s official announcement stated that the first-prize winner would receive a cash award of ten thousand yuan.

However, Mist City Arts and Science University could only send one participant to the semifinals.

Given that there are so many universities in the Southwest region, Mist City Arts and Science University only represents an insignificant portion of them.

Not to mention that music-focused universities usually have more slots for the semifinals.

“Sister Xiao Rou, shall we start recording now?” Ding Xiaoyou suggested excitedly.

“I think that’s a good idea.”

Since Ding Yue was already here, it would be a waste if he didn’t watch Lin Zhirou sing and dance.

“My brother’s good at recording videos,” Ding Xiaoyou said, giggling.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue couldn’t help but glare at his sister Ding Xiaoyou.

Why does she manage to rope me into everything?

“Alright, Miss Lin Zhirou, how about I film your performance?” Ding Yue saw a Sony camera sitting nearby.

For such a professional competition, a camera would be the best option for recording.

“Okay, thank you, Principal Ding.” Lin Zhirou stood up and strolled towards the dressing room: “I’ll go change.”

“You need to change?”

Ding Yue was momentarily stunned.

“Brother, Sister Xiao Rou’s song for the preliminaries is ‘Guanghan Palace.’ The performance will be more impactful with a corresponding dance and outfit.

You’re such a dull dog, you don’t understand anything!”

Ding Xiaoyou finally realized what kind of person her elder brother was.

In no time at all,

Lin Zhirou, now wearing a white strapless dress, walked out from the dressing room.

Her fair and long legs stood out beautifully against the white dress.

This outfit had a touch of ancient style, yet it also projected a modern chic vibe, a perfect mix of old and new.

As for her legs…

Wen Ruohan, from the literature and secretary department, already had stunning legs, but Lin Zhirou’s slender legs were even more breathtaking, according to Ding Yue.

They could even be said to be the university’s finest!

It’s a shame that such beautiful legs were made for dancing rather than pedaling a tricycle.

“Brother, brother?

Brother?

Ding Yue!”

Ding Xiaoyou saw that her brother was so entranced by Lin Zhirou’s legs that he didn’t even respond to her repeated calls.

“Hmm?”

Finally, Ding Yue was pulled away from admiring those gorgeous legs and turned to his sister Ding Xiaoyou: “Little sister, look at Lin Zhirou’s legs, then look at yours.

Aren’t yours a size bigger than hers?

I told you to eat less.”

“Hmph!”

Ding Xiaoyou stomped her foot in anger at his words.

Lin Zhirou walked over, picked her mobile phone, selected the accompaniment, and connected it to the speaker.

She then positioned herself in the middle of the dance floor: “Principal Ding, I’m ready.”

“Good, wait a moment, let me adjust the settings.”

Ding Yue fiddled with the Sony camera in his hand, activating the video recording function and adjusting the relevant parameters.

He pointed the camera at Lin Zhirou, maintaining a steady hand.

And the recording began.

Although the use of a tripod would ensure a more stable recording, it would not allow for quick adjustments of the recording height and the free movement of the recording position.

If a master videographer was present, handheld recording would be a good choice.

It ensures stability and flexibility.

“Xiao You, can you help me by playing the accompaniment?”

“Sure.”

Ding Xiaoyou jogged over, clicked on the phone connected to the speaker, and started playing the background track.

Lin Zhirou had already assumed her dance position in preparation.

Soon,

The familiar accompaniment of “Guanghan Palace” began to play.
