Chapter 339: The Lively Welcome Party
Freshmen who hadn't been in college for long were still quite curious about the school's welcome party.
By the time Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan arrived at the auditorium, many freshmen had already arrived.
The brightly lit auditorium was quite noisy, happy music was playing from the speakers, and the freshmen sitting in their seats were also laughing and playing around.
The arrival of the two immediately attracted many curious gazes.
Qin Tian didn't care at all; holding Xia Nuannuan's hand, he found a seat in the middle with a good view and sat down.
Xia Nuannuan placed the bag containing many snacks and pastries under the chair and looked around with curious eyes.
"It seems like no one from our class has arrived yet?"
"Yeah, Chen Zhuang and the others aren't interested in this; they'd rather stay in the dorm and play a few games. What about your dorm?"
"Siqi and Lu Lei are both coming; they'll be here together in a bit. Also Su Yan, I sent her a message, and she'll come to watch the party too."
"Then save those seats next to you for them."
"Mm-hmm!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile.
"Xia Nuannuan, hello, may I ask if anyone is sitting here?"
Two girls walked over, arm in arm, and asked with a smile.
"Sorry, my roommates are coming in a bit!"
Xia Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then an apologetic smile appeared on her face, and she pointed to the seats on the other side of Qin Tian and said, "You can go sit over there!"
The two girls glanced at Qin Tian, declined with a shy smile, and then chose to sit in the row behind them.
"I'm really sorry!"
Xia Nuannuan turned her head to look at the two girls and apologized again.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Right, we should be the ones saying sorry."
The two girls looked a bit flattered, and then hurriedly introduced themselves.
They were two freshmen majoring in Accounting in the same college.
With several thousand freshmen in this year's intake, it was naturally impossible to hold a party all together, so the welcome party was held by the college.
Some smaller colleges would also join one or two other colleges to hold it together.
The School of Economics and Management had enough students, so it was held separately.
The seniors who were going to perform on stage later, as well as those who came to watch the party, were mostly from the same college.
After Xia Nuannuan chatted with the two girls for a few sentences, the two girls quickly stated their purpose; it turned out they had heard of the great name of "Skincare Expert" Teacher Xia and had come to Xia Nuannuan to learn from her.
Since coming back from the National Day holiday, similar situations had occurred many times.
Every time class ended, there would always be girls who would take the initiative to greet Xia Nuannuan and then ask for advice on skincare or how to have a better figure.
Xia Nuannuan didn't hide anything at all and enthusiastically told them everything she knew.
Of course, there were some questions she couldn't answer.
For instance, the matter of many girls wanting to make themselves "a bit more busty"!
Whenever someone asked, she would shyly say that she didn't eat anything special or have any special techniques; it was all natural growth.
Knowing that so many girls had this desire made Xia Nuannuan realize more deeply that this advantage of hers was very prominent.
Naturally, it also gave her a bit more confidence in her own charm.
Before long, Shen Siqi, Lu Lei, and a few girls from the class, including Cheng Meng, also arrived together, and they all sat together.
Several heads huddled together, whispering about secrets between girls.
Qin Tian sat to the side, scrolling through his phone. He didn't intend to eavesdrop, but there was no helping it when his hearing was too good.
Some of the things they were chatting about were quite clearly transmitted into his ears.
Especially the words that made Xia Nuannuan blush from their teasing from time to time—the key was that most of them were related to him, so he would subconsciously hear them more clearly.
Fortunately, the party started very soon.
As the two hosts in bright and gorgeous clothes appeared on stage, attracting everyone's attention, the noisy chatter in the auditorium immediately quieted down.
The two hosts, a male and female pair, were seniors from the school's broadcasting and hosting major, and their Mandarin was very standard and professional.
After a proficient and fluent opening, the performers of the first program walked onto the stage from both sides.
Generally speaking, for this kind of party, the first program is always a large-scale song and dance.
This kind of large-scale song and dance is grand and can create a good atmosphere for the party, but for everyone watching, most would feel it's a bit boring, too cliché, and so on.
But the opening program of this welcome party exceeded everyone's expectations.
It was indeed still a song and dance, but it wasn't the traditional kind.
They saw several figures wearing various cartoon mascot costumes run onto the stage, and the anime theme song of "GG Bond" started playing in the auditorium's sound system.
"Bravely move forward, move forward, there are prizes, I want to run first, I want to fly a plane, I want a TV, I want a CD player, I want an MP3, I want ice cream, I want RMB, don't be too greedy..."
Along with the happy music and singing, the cartoon mascots on stage, with the round, large-sized "GG Bond" in the center, started to twist their bodies.
The atmosphere in the huge auditorium was ignited all at once.
"Hahaha... this is good, this program is interesting!"
"Yeah, GG Bond? Who thought of this? Too talented."
"I thought it was going to be singing and dancing again; this party is more interesting than I imagined!"
"I was originally planning to watch a drama in the dorm; good thing I came."
The freshmen watching the party praised it with great interest, and there were even people with "social anxiety" who followed along and sang.
"Brother, this program is so interesting."
Xia Nuannuan's small face also had a bright smile, and she said to Qin Tian beside her.
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
"Sister Lei, it seems that the seniors in our college are quite talented!"
Shen Siqi said with a smile.
Lu Lei nodded with a gentle smile and said "Mm."
Xia Nuannuan took the bag out from under the chair and took out the snacks and fruit inside to share with everyone.
Including the two girls from the Accounting major she had just met, everyone received a bag of potato chips and thanked her repeatedly with gratitude.
Afterward, Xia Nuannuan opened a large bag of beef jerky and poured it out on the table between the two of them.
Qin Tian took one, peeled off the packaging, and handed it to her mouth.
Xia Nuannuan looked at the performance on stage, opened her mouth to eat it naturally, and then peeled one for him as well.
After the opening program, it was a pop song solo with band accompaniment.
The singer was a handsome senior, and he sang quite well. The instrumentalists responsible for the accompaniment behind him also had very good skills.
Especially the short-haired young lady playing the drums; she was given a solo time in the middle of the song, which successfully "wowed" all the audience present and drew enthusiastic cheers and shouts from everyone.
In this kind of party, it's impossible for every program to be interesting.
The next poetry recitation program made everyone feel a bit bored. ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
