Chapter 1108: A Strong Wife
“Why are you here at this time?” Jiang Yao asked in surprise.
“I met Commissar w.a.n.g on the way here. I came with him to see the situation here. The army attaches great importance to this performance.” After he said that, Lu Xingzhi called Jiang Yao to go with him to look for the two girls from the Arts and Crafts Regiment.
The two girls had seen Lu Xingzhi before that. As soon as they saw him, they stopped talking to the children for a moment and smiled at Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao.
“Commissar w.a.n.g was here just now and said that there were too many children, so he added another child’s program and then added a military wife’s program. Just sing something simple and easy to learn, such as Penghu Bay or something like that.”
After he said that, Lu Xingzhi pushed Jiang Yao forward. She was utterly unprepared, so he immediately said, “What a coincidence that my wife just happens to know these songs.”
Jiang Yao was dumbfounded.
The two female soldiers from the Arts and Crafts Regiment looked at Lu Xingzhi with a bewildered expression. Lu Xingzhi’s wife had told them that she did not know how to sing!
Jiang Yao turned her head around and looked at Lu Xingzhi with a confused expression. That guy must be someone who could fool his wife, right?
Did he not know that her singing was out of tune?
“There shouldn’t be enough time to arrange so many programs, right?”
That was what the two girls had been worried about.
“Ask your group to support one more program. Apart from Mrs. Zhu’s flute solo, each of you will be responsible for teaching one of the other three programs.” Lu Xingzhi thought that his idea was excellent. Then, he said, “It’s settled then. My wife will be included in the song. When the rehearsal starts, get someone to call her.”
He did not even give Jiang Yao a chance to refute it; Lu Xingzhi pulled Jiang Yao away after he said that.
Jiang Yao cursed Lu Xingzhi in her heart.
“Lu Xingzhi! I’m going to strangle you to death!” After they left the auditorium, Jiang Yao pounced on Lu Xingzhi.
“Don’t mess around; this is the army. There are many people here. I’ll hug you when I get home.” Lu Xingzhi avoided Jiang Yao’s claws and reached out to pat Jiang Yao’s head.
“Who told you that I could sing?”
Jiang Yao was furious and stomped her feet. “Are you hoping to see me embarra.s.s myself on stage?”
“I’ve heard you sing about Penghu Bay. It sounded pretty good. When you get on stage, get someone to arrange the two lines that you can sing,” Lu Xingzhi said. “Your voice is very soft and pleasant. Your singing is not inferior to others.”
Jiang Yao could not be bothered with Lu Xingzhi, who had lost his mind. With a snort, she shook him off and walked home in giant strides. After she took two steps, she turned around to look at Lu Xingzhi, who was still standing at the same spot. She turned back and stalked toward him. “Tell me honestly, did you deliberately pull this trick because you wanted to hear me sing? If you want to hear it, I’ll sing for you when I get home. I can sing for as long as you want. But if you want to embarra.s.s me on stage, don’t even think about it.”
As a new student representative, she had never flinched from giving a speech in front of the entire school. As a trainer, she had never winced, even when she stood in front of all the soldiers in cla.s.s. That was because those were all her specialties, so she had a lot of confidence.
However, she was not used to singing. Would that not be difficult for her?
That guy was definitely sick! He must be severely ill!
Jiang Yao had made up her mind to reject those female soldiers when they looked for her.
After Jiang Yao left the auditorium, she went off on her own. Lu Xingzhi still had to go back to work, so she went home.
