Lu Ning nodded, but she still hoped that Second Brother would come back soon. It would be best if he returned tomorrow.
However, now that the money had been given to Shen Yunci, Lu Ning was relieved. At least she had settled one matter, and it would be easier for them to move.
Actually, she had already chosen a few places. The locations were very secure, and the environments were good, so she was just short of bringing them along for a viewing.
Everything was going according to plan. She hoped that nothing would go wrong.
Monday was the speaking event.
Over the past two days, Kan Rou had been so anxious that she was about to froth at the mouth. Fortunately, she had successfully memorized her speech.
The speech was to be given in the auditorium. Almost all the third-year students were there.
There were a lot of people, and all the leading figures- both from within and without the school—were here.
Everyone was very excited about the large event.
Cla.s.s 9 had come behind the stage, looking to the front.
They were all shocked by the people in the auditorium, along with the expressions and gazes of the leaders.
Kan Rou did not even dare to look.
She was already nervous, and now she was overwrought.
Fortunately, she was the last speaker, so she had a long time to mentally steel herself.
However, they realized that the longer she waited, the more anxious Kan Rou became.
In the end, she was so worked up that she was about to break down into tears.
Her cla.s.smates comforted her from the side. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. You won’t look good if you ruin your makeup.”
“Yes, yes, that’s right. After you go up, don’t look at the audience, just lower your head. It’s fine as long as you finish your speech. It’s fine, it’ll be alright.
All the best.’
“Mm. Just think of everyone as cabbages.”
Kan Rou was so nervous that her hands were trembling.
Lin Ci and Lu Ning looked at her from beside her.
Kan Rou grabbed both their wrists.
“I’m scared.’
Just as Lu Ning was about to say something, Lin Ci shouted, “What’s there to be afraid of? The arrow is already nocked on the bow, there’s no choice but to let it loose and fly!”
Kan Rou was shocked, but she did feel a little better afterwards. Perhaps she was so startled that she forgot her nervousness.
When it was almost time for Kan Rou’s turn, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon.
Two more speakers to her.
The sense of oppression that came with the arrival of her turn was about to overwhelm her.
She kept going back and forth between the backstage and the toilet.
Everyone from the other schools who went up to give their speech were full of confidence and vigor, which made her feel even more inferior.
Lu Ning glanced from behind and clenched her fists worriedly.
The stage was really too big. She was a little worried that Kan Rou would not be able to hold on.
She looked at Shen Guang, who was sitting in the middle.
It felt like she had not seen him for a long time.
She glanced around and saw Huo Jinyan in the second row.
Lu Ning retreated silently.
There were still many people, not only from their own school, but also from other schools.
Kan Rou walked over unsteadily.
The emcee had already started looking for her. “Which of you is from No. 1 High School?”
Kan Rou raised her hand weakly. “Me…”
“Hurry up and get ready. You’re up next.”
With that, she left.
On the other hand, Kan Rou’s mind drew a blank.
Lu Ning saw that her eyes were reddish and quickly walked over. “Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. Take a deep breath.”
Kan Rou looked at her. “What should I do, Sister Ning? I forgot. I forgot everything!
Lu Ning looked at her and comforted her. “Do you remember the first sentence? Or even just the first phrase is fine too.”
Kan Rou thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, but I only remember the first one. What should I do? I’ll embarra.s.s the school!”
Lu Ning grabbed her arm tightly. “It’s fine.. Just remember the first one! Even if you embarra.s.s yourself, you have to embarra.s.s yourself beautifully! You can’t cry! It’s really embarra.s.sing if you cry, right?! Take a deep breath!”
