Chapter 69: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, the Yellow Sparrow Behind (Part 2)

  No wonder I was so depressed and couldn't bring myself to take action that day. It turned out I didn't have enough courage!

  "Really!" Xu Xuan said excitedly with shining eyes: "Xiao Yun, try lifting the table with one hand."

  "No problem! I've got it covered!" said Zhou Yun confidently, slapping his hand on the table.

  Under the deep gaze of two beauties, one minute slips away...

  "Uh..." He turned his head and glanced at the two beauties, Zhou Yun asked weakly: "Why don't I have the courage?"

  These words almost made Xu Yun faint: "Does Xiaoyun have the courage, how would others know..."

  "Hehe......" Zhou Yun awkwardly scratched his head, courage isn't something that can be used just by saying it, it needs a suitable opportunity to burst out suddenly.

  "Knowing is one thing, applying is another." Xu Caiyue's voice came over again, "Well... anyway, it's good that you understand. Time is the one thing we don't lack..."

  "It's settled then, Xiao Yun needs to practice more." Xu Xuan smiled lightly and quickly got moving. After saying so much, the dishes had all gone cold.

  The little girl was overjoyed at the thought. Things can't be rushed, Xiaoyun's first surprise appearance represents courage and strength. I wonder what my cousin meant by another hand, will there... be more hands? What other secrets is he hiding? Ah... it's really exciting!

  However, Zhou Yun didn't have any secrets to hide; these abilities just suddenly popped out, and even he himself didn't know what was going on... Xu Xuan's expectations were probably dashed...

  Zhou Yun rubbed his nose, staring blankly at the two beauties. When not being teased or joked with, Xu Caiyue was always so elegant. Not rushed, not anxious, she seemed even more refined than an ancient beauty.

  Xu Xuan is particularly lively and energetic, always bouncing around with a youthful aura. Although she looks like a goddess, she seems unapproachable due to her beauty. However, her personality is as rumored, kind and gentle, easy to get along with.

  Swallowing the plain rice with great effort, Zhou Yunfei sighed in his heart. Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums each have their own strengths! The masters are almost being beautified to death by the girl...

  Around 12:30, the three of them strolled to the school gymnasium. Next was the rehearsal time for the art performance. Due to the upcoming college entrance examination, the performances by the third-year students were organized by grade level and open to free registration. The person in charge of the event was student representative Xu Xuan.

  Under Xu Xuan's instigation, the third-year high school students decided to put on a play at the May 4th literary performance. They had been preparing for it for quite some time and today was the first day of actual rehearsal. Although it was an actual rehearsal, everyone had just received their scripts. Therefore, the arrangement for this afternoon was to get familiar with the story plot and memorize the corresponding lines.

  To have a place to rest, Xu Xuan also ordered people to bring out the high-jump protective mats. Several 20-centimeter-thick cushions excited everyone, and with a whoosh, they rushed up and slept on the soft and fluffy protective mats, feeling more comfortable and freer than their own big beds.

  It's probably the last semester of high school, and everyone wants to leave a good memory for themselves. The number of people signing up for the play is not small. Zhou Yun counted that there were almost thirty people sitting or lying on the floor. According to the registration data, there should be 15 formal actors, and the rest are logistics personnel.

  Xu Xuan, as the first female lead and also in charge of the program, bears a particularly heavy burden, with more lines to recite than anyone else.

  She nodded to the warehouse props, arranged some trivial matters, and Xu Xuan very consciously went to Zhou Yun and Xu Caiyue's side to start reciting the script. Unknowingly, they had formed a habit of gathering together, always walking together, making people extremely envious. Especially the boys, looking at Zhou Yun's silly happy smile, all hated to kick him away and replace him.

  The two beauties were simply too dazzling, making everyone afraid to get close. Afraid of being struck by 'high voltage' and unable to extricate themselves...

  Opening the bound script of "Our Garden", Zhou Yun roughly flipped through the first page of the plot introduction. It was about a few big hornets invading the garden, wanting to drive away the hardworking little bees. The story of the "Little Bee Queen" defending her home and leading the bees to counterattack against the hornets. Although it's a bit childish, it's not easy to perform perfectly. Just memorizing those thick lines is enough to give one a headache...

  Coming back to his senses, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sneak a peek at the beauty beside him. Unexpectedly, Xu Xuan and Xu Caiyue were reciting the script with electronic scanning speed. In just over ten minutes, they had already memorized one-third of the content and even started rehearsing passionately.

  What made Zhou Yun even more amazed was that the two talented women not only performed their own roles, but also had a deep and emotional performance of other people's lines. The most touching moment was when Xu Caiyue learned to play the villain, her gloomy smile made Zhou Yun deeply feel what it means to be a poisonous woman.

  Xu Caiyue slanted her eyes at Zhou Yun, who was being sneaky, and put down the script in her hand, asking Xu Xuan calmly: "Sister, have you noticed that something is missing around you?"

  "Hmm? Is there something?" Xu Xuan stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment: "Ah la~ Indeed it is."

  The atmosphere is particularly harmonious today, and it seems that there are no extra people bothering us.

  Xu Xuan organized a play, Huang Wei must have signed up. But he didn't come today, won't there be some secret plan going on again? Just like two years ago, on the day of the art performance, he suddenly confessed to Xu Xuan, if she hadn't cleverly dodged it, if it were another girl, I'm afraid he would have succeeded in winning her over.

  Thinking of this, Xu Xuan and Xu Caiyue looked at Shen Yinping in the same direction. Wherever Huang Ou appeared, she was often there, what kind of plan was it that even her beautiful assistant wasn't informed about? Soon, Xu Caiyue revealed a hint of an eerie smile...

  Sitting on the cushion, Shen Yin's mood was terrible. She involuntarily curled up her body, hugging her legs and resting her head on her knees. Huang Wei let her go to seduce Zhou Yun, but how could she succeed? There were two women beside him, either of whom was more beautiful than her. What should she do? Was Huang Wei's plan feasible or not?

  Can't help but say, Shen Yinping's work is somewhat utilitarian, but the efficiency and loyalty are quite high. All along, silently assisting Huang Ou, never complained. Including this plan to seduce Zhou Yun, also reluctantly accepted.

  Unfortunately, Shen Yin Ying did not know that Huang Jin was ruthlessly designing a trap for her at this moment.

  At noon, Huang Yi deliberately got rid of Shen Yin and made an appointment with his uncle, the training director, to go out for dinner. It's better to say that they were discussing how to deal with Zhou Yun rather than eating. Because when Huang Yi inquired about intelligence from his uncle the night before, he happened to hear that someone had offered a large sum of money to deal with Zhou Yun. What a coincidence! The timing is perfect!

  Because they had class in the afternoon, the two of them didn't go to a high-end restaurant and just booked a private room at a nearby eatery.

  When the dishes were all served, Huang Jin cleverly poured half a cup of old white wine for his uncle and slowly peeled peanuts while chuckling: "Uncle, what do you think? Is the plan still working?"

  "It's just a line, but... Nephew, you're too cruel. Shen Yin Ying has been with you for three years, and you've driven her to desperation like this. Can you live with yourself?" With a thick smile, Xie Guan Hui (the Dean of Students) took a sip of white wine: "...The wine isn't bad. Want some?"

  "No, I still have class this afternoon. My uncle is the same, don't drink too much." Huang Zhi waved his hand indifferently and said with a self-mocking tone: "What three years or not three years. That woman is cunning, only takes goods but doesn't do anything, never lets me get in trouble. Always teasing me, treating me like a fool~"

  "Haha, that's the nature of women." As the saying goes, "A good meal is a good opportunity to discuss things," Xie Guanhui didn't mince words, and while picking up his chopsticks, he said: "Shen Yinjing knows in her heart that she can't hang herself on one tree. Moreover, she's still young, with good grades, how could she not leave a way out for herself?"
