Putting aside everything else, as long as Chen Xin said she was the younger sister of Mingzhu University's top School Beauty, Xia Qianmeng, and that Xia Qianmeng's usual cute and charming outfits at school were all her own handiwork, then no one would refuse to let Chen Xin do their makeup.
But Xia Yingxing was an exception.
She never liked smearing strange things on her face; it was very uncomfortable.
However, considering how crucial this school anniversary was, it wasn't just about the stage effect; her own appearance had to be the best.
If she messed up, how would she ever get by at Mingzhu University later?
Thinking of this, Xia Yingxing could only let Chen Xin do strange things to her.
And after the leaders finished speaking, it was time for the part students loved to watch: the handsome boys and beautiful girls showcase.
Backstage, this spot was really great.
You could enjoy the performances of those on stage up close.
Mingzhu University truly had hidden talents; the girls who came out were all stunningly beautiful, making for a truly enjoyable sight.
"You seem very calm. Aren't you nervous at all?" Chen Xin asked.
"What is there for me to be nervous about?" Xia Yingxing retorted.
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment.
She hadn't expected Xia Yingxing's psychological fortitude to be so strong. Usually, people without stage experience would be very nervous their first time on stage.
This was clearly visible in Shen Fenglian.
But Xia Yingxing and Chen Xin couldn't help her much.
At the same time, she also hoped Shen Fenglian could overcome this hurdle.
The shadows of the past couldn't be allowed to haunt Shen Fenglian her entire life.
"Your psychological fortitude is so strong, it's quite similar to my sister's," Chen Xin said.
"How so?" Xia Yingxing became interested and asked.
"My sister also once performed on stage. Unlike a school anniversary, that was a real stage, and the passionate cheers of the audience below seemed to drown out everything... Just thinking about that scene makes me tremble," Chen Xin said.
"But your sister wasn't nervous at all, right?" Xia Yingxing continued, following Chen Xin's words.
"Yes, even though it was her first time on such a big stage, she still managed to perform excellently. Her psychological fortitude is extremely strong, which is why I think you two are very similar in this aspect," Chen Xin said.
"Perhaps it's because I have a backup plan," Xia Yingxing mused for a moment before saying.
"What backup plan?"
"If I mess up, whoever dares to mock me, I'll use the power of our Xia Family to make them regret it."
"..."
Alright, you are a Young Miss, and you certainly have the capital to do that.
Afterward, a girl who came up to perform immediately caused a wave of excitement. The enthusiastic shouts from the audience seemed no less intense than a famous singer's concert.
Xia Yingxing was a bit puzzled.
Who is it? How did she cause the entire venue to scream as soon as she appeared?
When she looked up, the girl's beauty truly shocked Xia Yingxing. Her attire made her appear as beautiful and graceful as an elf. Every smile and frown of hers was captivating, making people fall for her without realizing it.
What's the deal with this girl who's as beautiful as an elf? I don't think I've ever seen her.
Is she also a student at Mingzhu University?
"Who is she?" Xia Yingxing asked when she didn't know.
"No way, you don't even know her?" Chen Xin said in surprise.
How could I possibly know her!
Could it be that she also had some connection with the original owner?
"Actually, I don't know her either," Shen Fenglian whispered from the side.
Chen Xin: "..."
Chen Xin couldn't tell for a moment who was out of touch with the world.
How could both Xia Yingxing and Shen Fenglian not know her!
She was clearly a student at Mingzhu University, and her popularity was so high!
"She is the second-ranked School Beauty on Mingzhu University's School Beauty Ranking, and she's also a highly popular celebrity, Yan Qinghuan," Chen Xin told the two confused girls, Xia Yingxing and Shen Fenglian.
Second on the School Beauty Ranking!
A popular celebrity!!
Xia Yingxing couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Chen Xin reveal the girl's identity.
She hadn't expected this girl to have such a significant background.
But it was understandable that she didn't know her.
Firstly, Xia Yingxing never paid attention to things like the School Beauty Ranking. All she knew was that Xia Qianmeng was number one, and she herself was in third place.
As for celebrities, Xia Yingxing was even less informed.
She didn't know many celebrities to begin with, only occasionally hearing from Chen Xin that a celebrity named Qu Qianqian was very popular.
Yan Qinghuan's beauty was already very high, and coupled with her stunning look today, she instantly captivated everyone's attention.
Moreover, since she was a celebrity, ordinary people had very few opportunities to see one, let alone at such close proximity.
And although Yan Qinghuan was a student at Mingzhu University, due to her work, she didn't appear at school often. Even if students at Mingzhu University had the advantage of being close, she rarely appeared at school!
She never expected her to appear at the school anniversary!
In fact, many people knew that the top-ranked School Beauty, Xia Qianmeng, would not be performing on stage at this school anniversary.
Yan Qinghuan, ranked second, rarely appeared, so it was unlikely anyone would see her.
As for Xia Yingxing, ranked third, she was participating, but everyone knew she had poor health and was a Sickly Princess. Therefore, her performance would likely be dull and uninspiring, unable to ignite people's passion... What no one expected was that Yan Qinghuan, the second-ranked School Beauty and also a big celebrity, actually appeared on the school anniversary stage!
This was truly a delightful surprise!
Yan Qinghuan went on stage, but she only sang one song.
With Chen Xin's explanation, Xia Yingxing learned that she was a dual-threat singer and actress, having not only appeared in TV dramas but also held concerts.
The moment she opened her mouth, it was clear she was absolutely professional.
Many times, don't think that just because your voice sounds good, you can be compared to professional singers.
The techniques they understand and master are far more numerous than what we amateurs know.
Why is your singing voice always so sharp and thin, not rich enough?
Why do you crack on high notes, even sounding like a chicken being slaughtered, while others can effortlessly hit them?
Why are your transitions so stiff, while others' are so smooth?
So, Yan Qinghuan truly had strength.
She only sang one song, yet she had already electrified the venue.
However, Yan Qinghuan didn't show much emotion. For her, this was probably just an ordinary event; she had witnessed much grander scenes than this.
"Mingzhu University truly has a lot of talent, even celebrities. It makes me feel a bit inadequate," Xia Yingxing said.
"Yingxing, you're no worse than her. In terms of beauty, you don't lose to her, and in terms of status, you are also the Second Young Miss Xia."
"One day, when she films a new drama, you can directly wave your hand and invest, becoming the capital behind her. Wouldn't that be even more impressive?" Chen Xin said to Xia Yingxing.
