It was precisely because they felt exhausted that neither Ye Jian nor Xu Wen partic.i.p.ated in the rehearsal. They just walked around and used the CD to play Ambush on Ten Sides to synchronize with the emcee.
This made the other students who were partic.i.p.ating in the gala find it a shame. They wanted to see how beautiful Ye Jian’s sword dance was. However, Ye Jian just stood there during the rehearsal while holding a sword in her hand. She stood at the edge of the stage without rehearsing once.
Even so, when the students saw Ye Jian holding her sword, they felt that she was especially cool.
It was snowing heavily on the day of the gala. The entire campus was pure white. The snow was a little heavy. The north wind carried large amounts of snow, making people unable to open their eyes.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, the preparations for the various performances had already started. While the students were busy backstage, a few inconspicuous sedans slowly drove into the campus.
These were the leaders from the military district and the capital city. There were also a few guests who weren’t soldiers but had certain ident.i.ties. They were all from the capital city.
After a while, another bus drove into the campus. The bus was filled with beautiful young female soldiers. They were also here to partic.i.p.ate in the school’s gala.
Many of the ones performing needed to change their costumes. Everyone had their own costumes. Ye Jian, who was wearing a camouflage uniform, was dazzled. Especially when she saw the traditional dresses that swayed as the girls walked, she couldn’t help but exclaim.
They were so beautiful. The girls looked like fairies. They were so beautiful that even as a fellow girl, Ye Jian wanted to go over and touch them.
“Don’t be envious. Your actions for the performance later are too big. It’s not suitable for you to wear such clothes. If you were to wear something like that, it’ll be too big of a benefit to the male students in our school.” Xu Wen leaned over and chuckled. “To be safe, you shouldn’t be exposed. You should wear your camouflage uniform! It’s st.u.r.dy and tight. No matter how you dance, you won’t be exposed!”
Xu Wen was the one who suggested that Ye Jian wear the camouflage uniform. She should have worn a long-sleeved dance uniform, but Ye Jian’s sword posture was too sharp. Xu Wen was worried that the clothes would tear when Ye Jian danced, so she made those arrangements.
In order to cater to Ye Jian, she didn’t put on a costume either. She wore the army camouflage uniform too. It was convenient and time-saving!
Ye Jian didn’t think too much about it. It was good to wear the army’s camouflage uniform. If she wore a beautiful and thin dress, it was indeed possible that what Xu Wen said would happen. Her clothes might tear halfway through the dance. What was even more awkward was that… she probably wouldn’t know that her clothes were torn.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t have makeup on? Come put on your makeup quickly, especially the female students. It’s rare for you to have a chance to put on makeup in school. Hurry up and come over.”
“Who else? Who else? If there’s no more, we’ll have to keep the makeup bags.”
“That’s not right. Male students can put makeup on too, right? For instance, we can get our eyebrows drawn or our foreheads powdered. Can you conceal the cap line on my forehead?”
“Go by yourself. We won’t accompany you. We’ll be bare-faced. We’re alright with that!”
“It’s not easy for the female students to see our other side. We might even be able to keep in contact after graduation!”
“Good fellow, you have ulterior motives! Come, count me in! Do you want to make your face fairer? It can cover up all your ugliness!”
“d.a.m.n it! Just now, you looked like you were determined not to put on makeup. When it was mentioned that we could still keep in contact with the female students after graduation, you immediately changed your mind. I want to apply some foundation too. I don’t want to be too fair, though. It won’t be good if my face and neck don’t match.
