CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 148-149: EMERGENCY RESCUE / RESONANCE / CONCLUSION 4

...

Beautiful and melodious tunes, magnetic voice, after one rendition, the audience joined in a chorus, their youthful faces shimmering with moving light. This song seemed to provide a resonance for everyone, kindling a warm and slightly melancholic sentiment that touched most hearts.

Excitedly, Xing Nong poked Luo Ye: "Luoluo, I never imagined Luo Feng could sing so well, and this song is beautiful too. How come I’ve never heard it before?"

"Well, now you have, haven’t you?" Luo Ye replied, gently stroking Xing Nong’s back. "Don’t get too excited, don’t get too excited. If you like it, I’ll ask my brother to sing it for you another day."

After the performance ended, there was enduring applause from the audience, with many students shouting "Sing it again," not "Sing another one." Luo Feng gestured with his hands: "Today, I am very happy, because both my dad and my sister are sitting in the audience. Having you in my life is my greatest happiness! Thank you, everyone!" After saying this, he quickly exited the stage, worried that if he stayed a second longer, tears would flood his face.

Luo Zhenggang quietly wiped the corner of his eye, "Having you in my life is my greatest happiness," wasn’t that also what was in his heart?

After the touching song "Lifetime with You," the subsequent performances seemed somewhat dull by comparison, until the students from the 1998 cohort brought a thrilling acrobatic act that reignited the atmosphere.

Tao Dongdong participated in a situational play called "High School Examination." Qu Yue played an examinee, with other students acting as grandparents, parents, elder cousins, and Dongdong played the daughter of an elder cousin. The diverse performances of the characters showcased the different views and levels of anxiety the old, middle-aged, young, and children generations have towards exams, ultimately conveying one theme: regardless of the expression, it is all an expression of love.

Since the audience consisted of college students or their family members, they found a lot of resonance with the performance, which received several rounds of applause and brought the atmosphere to its second climax.

"Dongdong, you were amazing!" After coming offstage, Qu Yue happily lifted Dongdong. During rehearsals, he had been unsure about Dongdong’s voice, but surprisingly, onstage, Dongdong cleverly lowered his voice, and it actually had a cute and tender young girl’s quality.

Luo Ye and the others had already been waiting backstage. Xing Nong snatched Dongdong from Qu Yue’s hands and started playfully tormenting him until Dongdong desperately cried out, "Stop, stop, the dress is loosening."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dress "whooshed" down to his ankles, revealing the little jeans he wore underneath. Xing Nong hugged him sympathetically, "Dongdong, from now on you need to eat lots and lots of delicious food and get nice and chubby."

Tang Luo touched Dongdong’s head pityingly: "Let’s make up for it today. Luoluo, hurry up and help Dongdong remove his makeup. I’ll treat everyone to some good food today, with Dongdong as the guest of honor!"

"That’s right, you didn’t recognize Dongdong, so of course you’re treating," Xing Nong didn’t miss the opportunity to tease Tang Luo, "Didn’t you say you would never believe that little girl was Dongdong?"

"Who would have thought he’d not only make up like a little girl, but also talk like one? But I lost the bet fair and square and I accept it wholeheartedly."

Qu Yue quickly waved his hands: "No, no, let me treat today. Dongdong and Luo Ye gave us a big help, it’s only right that I should treat."

"Brother Qu, let’s not. You still have to celebrate with your classmates later, it’d be inconvenient for all of us to join. Let’s talk some other time."

"Luo Ye..."

"Qu Yue, let’s do this another day." Luo Feng hurriedly stopped Qu Yue, who was still trying to persuade. He could see what Qu Yue meant about his sister. Although Qu Yue had always behaved well, Luo Feng didn’t want to give him the chance to get close to his sister for the time being. Humph, as if it’s that easy to chase his sister! Besides, that guy probably hasn’t even figured out how old Ye’er is, right?

After helping Dongdong remove his makeup, Lin Lin was discussing something with Luo Feng. The little girl she brought was sitting in a chair, bored and spinning around. Upon seeing Dongdong, her face immediately showed surprise: "Are you Tao Dongdong?"

"Hello, Li Luo." Dongdong greeted politely.

"Humph! A grown man dressing as a woman, shameless!" The little girl turned her head away in disdain.

Dongdong’s face reddened: "It’s not that I wanted to dress like this."

"Hey, you kid, how come you’re so vicious at such a young age? Are you just jealous that Dongdong got to perform on stage and you didn’t have the chance? Do you even know what cross-dressing is? Of course, a child your age might not understand, so let me explain. In our country, many famous artists are well-known for cross-dressing. Cross-dressing means a man plays a woman, or a woman plays a man. Got it, kid? Our Dongdong’s performance is of a master’s level. Understand?"

Xing Nong’s mixture of right and wrong logic left the little girl stupefied, and then she ran off crying to look for her parents. Unfortunately, the parents had gone on stage, and the little girl was held back by two boys. She simply sat on the ground and burst into inconsolable crying, all the while shouting: "Tao Dongdong, you’re not a formal student. I’ll go back and tell my second aunt to get you expelled."

"Who’s your second aunt?" Tang Luo asked casually.

"Hey, you guys are grown-ups. Why are you squabbling with a kid?" Lin Lin’s good friend quickly stepped in to stop them. Tang Luo raised an eyebrow: "Just playing with a kid, haven’t you heard of it?"

Luo Ye peeked through the stage curtains at the audience, only to find that her dad, Mr. Luo, had left at some point. Pouting, she had anticipated that her dad would sneak away early.

Soon after, she received a call from Driver Huang. Secretary Luo and Mayor Song left in a car, leaving him and his vehicle at the disposal of the siblings.

"That’s more like it." Luo Ye hung up the phone contentedly. Considering that her brother was the assistant conductor and it wouldn’t be nice not to celebrate with his classmates, she took advantage of the crowded and somewhat chaotic moment to quietly slip away with a group of people.

If she didn’t slip away, that crying little girl’s return would inevitably lead to more trouble. Let Young Master Luo deal with it—after all, why else is he the brother?

Finding her way to Driver Huang’s location, Luo Ye suddenly realized something. She had been wondering how her dad could lend them his No.1 car so generously, only to find out that Mr. Luo had left in an ordinary van. She wondered what the hosting officials thought at the time.
