In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September, and the freshmen of the first year finally finished their two-week grueling military training, looking disheveled and exhausted.
Qin Yan also started to become busy. On one hand, as a third-year student, she couldn't afford to drop the ball during this critical period and had to keep up with her major courses. On the other hand, she had to help and balance her responsibilities in the school club for the impromptu campus-wide welcoming event.
So, Yang Shiqing, the president of the club, invited several key members responsible for different areas and a group of active friends from the club to discuss and plan what program they should prepare.
Not long ago, Song Qiuyao, who had just agreed to be with Qin Yan, naturally became Qin Yan's "little tail" and followed him.
In fact, the anime club had nothing to do with the school-wide freshman welcome party originally, as the culture of the second dimension is quite niche. However, it was very unfortunate that a student participating in a magic performance program suddenly got into a car accident and ended up with a fractured bone, needing to stay in the hospital. With a program suddenly vacated, there was no smooth transition.
The other singing and dancing performances are already there, and if similar programs are added, the student council also feels that it's not interesting.
I don't know who in the Student Union suddenly had a brilliant idea and shifted their attention to the Anime Club. Surprisingly, the Student Union unanimously applauded the decision, thus prompting the cosplayers from the Anime Club to step in and save the day at the last minute.
There's only about 10 days left now. Suddenly, we were notified by the society that we have to organize a performance for the welcome party. It really caught us off guard.
The meaning from the student union is that during the graduation party last semester, didn't you guys also perform the stage play of "The Outcast" from the "Drawing the Martial World"? Let's perform it again this time.
Lin Xian and Yang Shiqing were furious when they heard these words! After the stage play of "Painting the Rivers and Lakes" in the last semester, both the outdoor and indoor scenes were completed, and everyone collectively put their cosplay costumes on the second-hand trading platform. Where the hell are we supposed to find clothes to redo the entire stage play for you again!
If you were to rearrange a stage play, not only would you need to prepare new costumes and rehearse again, but also find background BGM audio resources and do voice recordings for dubbing. That takes at least 10 days, which is simply too little time.
Just randomly put on whatever Cosplay outfit is simple and do a simple Cosplay performance. It was just to make do, but as a result, the Student Council criticized it as being too perfunctory and rejected it.
Yang Shiqing sighed, "Oh... there's no other choice, I guess I'll have to dance awkwardly."
Lin Xian: "Let's try the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss once?"
Qin Yanos: ...I have a bad premonition...
Song Qiuyao, who came over with Qin Yan, said, "What's going on?" [Looking completely confused.jpg]
Then, all the other members in the club unanimously approved the proposal for the "Ecstatic Dance Paradise".
Yang Shiqing: "People with dance foundations have priority, and as long as your limbs are not particularly uncoordinated, I hope everyone can actively participate."
Lin Xian: "Qin Yan, don't just hide and pretend to be dead."
Qin Yan: "...", looked at Song Qiuyao with a face full of bitterness.
Song Qiuyao: "??????"
Lin Xian looked at Qin Yan, who wanted to cry but couldn't shed any tears, as well as Song Qiuyao, who was completely uninterested in what was happening. In his mind, a bright idea flashed, and he burst into a sinister laughter of 'meh hahahaha' inwardly.
Lin Xian: "Qiuyao, you don't know that Qin Yan can dance, right? He dances really well. Oh, by the way, I have a short video of Qin Yan that I recorded before on my phone. Do you want to watch it later?"
Song Qiuyao instantly became interested when he heard this. Lin Xian conscientiously moved to Song Qiuyao's side, with his own phone in hand. He found the video and opened the video player.
This short video was recorded in the rehearsal dance studio, capturing Qin Yan's solo performance. Rather than calling it a dance video, it could be better described as a video of sword dancing.
Although Qin Yan in the video was dressed in his usual daily attire, every meticulous and precise movement he made seemed to portray him as a heroic and ambitious knight-errant with great vigor and spirit.
In the video, there were also faintly recorded background music that was casually played with a phone, the music was somewhat blurred but the rhythm could still be heard clearly.
Turning around, leaping up, picking up the sword, putting away the sword... Qin Yan followed the rhythm with a series of sword movements and body actions, maintaining a seamless flow without missing a beat or losing any cadence. It flowed effortlessly like a running stream in perfect harmony.
"Amazing!" Song Qiuyao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yeah, right. So, what do you think would happen if Qin Yan performed the 'Jumping into Bliss Pure Land'?" Lin Xian's eyebrows rose, eagerly provoking.
Song Qiuyao: "......"
Qin Yan: "......"
Song Qiuyao occasionally visits Bilibili to watch videos. While other otakus enjoy watching various dancing girls, he secretly joins the ranks of fellow otakus and indulges in watching MMD (MikuMikuDance) videos featuring male characters from various games.
Following Lin Xian's words, Song Qiuyao's imagination ran wild. The scene was too beautiful, and her mind was filled with thoughts of "The God-like Waistline of a Male God," "The Playful Long Legs," and "Swoon, swoon, swoon, swoon, swoon."
The barrage of comments "Lick, lick, lick, lick, lick" and "Draw your swords, rivals!" continuously rolls and plays.
Song Qiuyao, full of anticipation in her heart but showing no outward signs, spoke up, "I think it should be fine."
Qin Yan: "........"
In the end of the discussion, Qin Yan remained silent, leaving it uncertain whether he would reluctantly agree to perform an awkward dance or not.
