You are my wife, don't doubt it!

For Tao Tianyi, life hasn't been very good recently.

Falling in love with my beautiful female classmate for no apparent reason, someone I could never pursue, is not a good thing.

It is normal for a gentleman to have thoughts about a beautiful lady, but Tao Tianyi also knows that whoever falls in love first will lose.

Then, I was inexplicably infected with a new infectious disease, which was not a good thing, but I slept for so long and missed a lot of classes, which was not a bad thing either.

After waking up, my delusions about my deskmate disappeared. I don’t know whether this is good or bad, but it undoubtedly saves a lot of trouble.

The military training has been postponed to next month, which is a good thing. But military training will be held next month, which is a bad thing.

On October 2004, 10, the Campus Top Ten Singers Competition was finally held as scheduled - bah, it was finally held as scheduled after being postponed once, which is a good thing.

As mentioned before, every school has its campus top ten singers competition, but as St. Francis Xavier's School is a long-established and prestigious school with an artistic focus, this event has always been very popular.

As mentioned before, several other key high schools in the district and the general high school Luxun Middle School will also participate, and it will suddenly become a cross-school social activity.

In fact, in the end, even technical schools, technical secondary schools, or vocational high schools like "Beihong Technical School" came, a total of seven, eight, or nine schools.

I heard that, but Tao Tianyi heard that several junior high schools wanted to come, but the school leaders declined after studying the matter.

The competition was officially renamed from "Top Ten Campus Singers" to "The First St. Francis Cup I'm Crazy About Singing and Singing Out Youth Beihong District Senior High School Song and Dance Competition". The name is a bit long, and Tao Tianyi may not have memorized it correctly, but it's pretty much the same idea.

There were hundreds of applicants, and of course it was impossible to finish singing in one afternoon, so we adopted a model of preliminary selection within the school and then participating in the finals.

I missed the school primary election because of sleeping sickness, which is a bad thing.

As a result, after studying the matter, the school leaders waved their pen and directly allowed those who had registered but were sick to enter the finals - sorry, the organizers can do whatever they want.

This is what is called "a blessing in disguise", and it is actually a very good thing.

Tao Tianyi somehow qualified for the finals.

October 10th was a Friday, and Tao Tianyi didn't have to wear school uniform, so he dressed himself up, as the saying goes, "Ah, get dressed, get a new haircut, relax, WINDOWS29." He spent the morning's classes inattentive - although he usually didn't pay much attention in class, but that whole morning, it seemed that everyone was "disengaged."

My deskmate Xu Qingwei had been lying on the desk to gather her strength in the morning, and no one knew what she had done last night. Her bangs were no longer covering her face, and she was no longer wearing her big glasses. She gave up her disguise and revealed her amazingly beautiful appearance, but Tao Tianyi didn't feel anything. He just didn't feel anything.

She is such a pretty girl, but she actually snores when she sleeps. Although it is not very loud, it is still quite ear-catching in the silent classroom.

I wonder if the little girl is dreaming at this moment, and if so, what she is dreaming about.

Tao Tianyi couldn't help but recall the long dream he had when he was in "narcolepsy".

These days, he kept thinking about it, feeling lost.

Sometimes he would think selfishly, wouldn’t it be nice if he never woke up and lived his whole life in such a dream?

It just makes life hard for those who take care of themselves.

"Tao Tianyi! Tao Tianyi!" The teacher called his name.

That’s it. You’re not going to ask me to answer questions again, are you?

Tao Tianyi raised his head, but the teacher's eyes were fixed on Xu Qingwei who was sleeping next to him.

He was relieved.

"Xu Qingwei, Xu Qingwei!~" Tao Tianyi understood what he meant and nudged his deskmate with his elbow.

After having a simple meal of two large chops in the cafeteria at noon, Tao Tianyi went to Beihong Football Stadium with two classmates who were still on good terms with him.

Yes, Beihong Football Stadium.

Beihong Football Stadium is the first professional football stadium in China and was once the home stadium of Shanghai Shenhua Football Club of the Chinese Football Association Super League.

北虹足球场于1998年2月22日动工，1999年2月22日落成，同年3月14日正式启用。总建筑面积7.29万平方米，观众席位3.5万个，耗资超过3亿元。

Beihong Football Stadium is adjacent to Luxun Park in the east, Dongjiangwan Road and Beihong Football Stadium Station of Metro Line 3 and Line 8 in the west, Sichuan North Road in the south, and Dalian West Road and Shanghai University of Foreign Languages ​​in the north.

Tao Tianyi arrived half an hour early.

He drew lot number 13.

Although the number (supposedly) is not very auspicious and thirteen o'clock is also an insult in Shanghai dialect, Tao Tianyi still thinks it is a good draw.

As we all know, in such large-scale competitions, the first and second draws are often cannon fodder, because the judges will be cautious in giving high scores without any comparison.

However, there are a lot of people competing today, and if you draw a ranking that is too late, the audience and judges will easily get "tired".

So let it be 13 o'clock, Tao Tian thought.

The seventh to appear were four girls from Lu Xun Middle School. Their faces were heavily made up and Tao Tianyi's stand was very far away, so their faces could not be seen clearly, but they still looked very beautiful.

They were all dressed in the blue student uniforms of the Republic of China style, with white socks and black cloth shoes. They linked arms and performed the song "Auld Lang Syne" in a very old-fashioned way, which aroused thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

It can be seen that the judges were also very satisfied and they smiled and nodded to each other.

Tao Tianyi became even more nervous and swallowed.

Tao Tianyi did not watch the eighth show because the staff directed him to go backstage to put on makeup and prepare.

After the twelfth contestant finished his performance, the competition entered its first intermission, which made Tao Tianyi's wait particularly difficult.

He heard a female voice reading a news report in a loud voice, and in a daze, he had the illusion that "this is a school sports meeting."

"At the Beihong Football Stadium in Shanghai, the first St. Francis Cup Song and Dance Competition is in full swing. Students from ten high schools gathered on the green field, cheering and singing interweaving into an exciting symphony. Colorful lights were flashing, illuminating the entire stadium.

"Beautiful music came from the huge speakers, and colorful lights danced brilliantly, outlining colorful pictures. The venue was crowded with people, and the audience was enthusiastic, waving school flags and cheering for their school."

We also have a school flag? How come I didn't know about this setting? Tao Tian thought.

"In the center of the stadium, a huge stage carries the dreams of youth. The participating students wore gorgeous costumes and sang energetic songs with enthusiasm. The dancers danced under the light, embellishing the entire stadium into a gorgeous picture.

"On the judging panel, the judges listened attentively, their faces showing their understanding and appreciation for youth. The competition was fierce and exciting, and each performance was like a feast of music and dance, immersing people in a unique artistic atmosphere.

"On this stage that belongs to youth, students are releasing their passion and talent to their heart's content, filling the entire arena with the breath of youth. This night - eh? Uh, this day, the St. Francis Cup I'm Crazy About Singing and Dancing Competition will become an unforgettable collective memory for all high schools in Beihong District. We will integrate passion, music, and dance to burn every young heart."

You know what, Tao Tian thought about it and it still has a bit of a Japanese anime feel.

"It's your turn, Tao Tianyi!" A female classmate from another school who was serving as a temporary staff member urged Tao Tianyi to get on the shelf.

"Cough cough cough." Tao Tianyi walked from the side to the center of the stage while clearing his throat and calming his pounding heart.

He thought he was ready, but he didn't know that he was not.

As he stood in the center of the stage, looking at the thousands of eyes in the stands on all sides of the stadium, his knees went weak and he staggered.

There are too many Nima people...

……

……

……

After Tao Tianyi returned to the backstage, his mind was still a little blank and he didn't even know what he had sung.

Forget it, the top ten winners will definitely have to send the prizes, so the important thing is to participate.

Alas, I still feel a little bit upset.

If it weren't for the serious illness, I wouldn't be so cowardly and stage-frightened.

I just know that nothing good will happen in life, and if something good happens, I won’t be the one that comes to mind.

Tao Tianyi returned to the St. Francis Xavier High School section of the stadium stands in a daze, found his seat and sat down.

I had just opened a bottle of mineral water, tilted my head back and drank half of it, when I suddenly heard the people around me clapping, cheering and stomping their feet again.

Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for the emergence of such a warm atmosphere.

First, Andy Lau suddenly came.

First rule out this possibility.

Second, the contestants who appeared on the stage were from St. Francis Xavier’s School.

This is probably what the so-called sense of collective honor is.

The person who appeared was a tall and thin boy. I couldn’t see his face clearly from this distance, but he looked quite handsome.

This guy was wearing a full black tuxedo, the kind with two split ends at the back, making him look as flashy as possible.

This bitch had a... a... blue acoustic guitar hanging on her chest. She walked to the center of the stage, blew twice into the microphone in front of her, and made a "hum" sound.

There was a burst of laughter from the stands.

Tao Tianyi was satisfied to see that he was not the only one who suffered from stage fright.

Someone nearby stood up and loudly encouraged the contestants in the stands: "Li——!"

Tao Tianyi looked at him - Oh, this guy's surname seems to be Zhang, Zhang... Zhang... Zhang Jia or something? Anyway, he is a school bully.

Another skinny little black guy stood up. Tao Tianyi knew that his nickname was "Hairtail".

This hairtail followed Zhang Jia's thing and shouted, "Xiaoyao!"

"plum!"

"Xiaoyao!"

"plum!"

"Xiaoyao!"

"plum!"

"Xiaoyao!"

Instigated by the leader, the students from St. Francis High School in the stands shouted together one after another.

The shouts were continuous.

"plum!"

"Xiaoyao!"

"plum!"

"Xiaoyao!"

"plum!"

"Xiaoyao!"

Damn, it’s this bastard named Xiao Yao again.

As a fellow "dream friend" with narcolepsy, is this guy so famous?

I've heard of this guy before... Tao Tian thought.

The cheers and howls around me became louder.

Is it never going to end...are you a show-off?

Wait, is this?

Accompanied by thunderous cheers and applause, a young girl walked out from the left and right sides of the stage.

Under the spotlight, the two girls slowly moved towards the center of the stage.

The girl on the left is the same height as the boy named "Xiao Yao", thin and tall, wearing a pure white dress, holding a small... uh, medium, uh... big...

"What is this violin called?" Tao Tianyi turned around and asked the person next to him in a low voice.

"Cello, right?"

"Viola."

"No, it's the double bass, you idiots."

"Oh my god, it's the cello. I'm the music class representative. You guys know nothing!"

Wait, the one on the right...

A petite girl in a black dress and bare feet.

She held a bell in each hand. Shasha, what was it called? She was running around the stage happily at high speed under the spotlight.

"Fuck!" Tao Tianyi stood up suddenly, pointed at the stage and shouted to the people around him: "Isn't the person in black clothes my deskmate? Is it her? My deskmate, right?"
