Chapter 541: Xia Nuannuan in a Maid Outfit

The costumes for the program were originally supposed to be arranged by the Student Union.

However, the students of Economics Class 1 knew that Qin Tian was proficient in Clothing Design and had close collaborations with large clothing companies.

Consequently, the girls from the two classes strongly suggested that Qin Tian design them, and then everyone would chip in a little money to have them custom-made.

Naturally, Qin Tian initially found it troublesome.

But there was no helping it; Xia Nuannuan was quickly persuaded by the girls, and then, under the suggestion of a few girls who knew how to play the game, they set up a trap he couldn't resist, making him willingly design these costumes.

It has been over half a month, yet Qin Tian still frequently thinks back to that wonderful night.

That day, while he was playing games in the dormitory with Chen Zhuang and the others, he suddenly received a call from Xia Nuannuan asking him to come back for dinner.

When he entered the door, he saw Xia Nuannuan wearing a two-dimensional maid outfit, standing there shyly to welcome him.

"Brother, welcome home!"

While greeting him with a soft and cute voice, Xia Nuannuan squatted down and placed the slippers under his feet.

How could Qin Tian possibly withstand this?

Then, in a daze, he was led by the hand by Xia Nuannuan to the dining table to sit down.

On the table was the dinner she had made: an omelet rice often seen in Japanese dramas and anime, with a heart drawn on top in ketchup.

After coming to his senses, Qin Tian quickly devoured the plate of omelet rice, then immediately picked up his wife and hurried to the bedroom.

That night, Qin Tian truly experienced the charm of uniform culture.

Xia Nuannuan also acted like a real maid, submissive to him, letting him do whatever he wanted.

After waking up the next day, Qin Tian readily agreed to Xia Nuannuan's request and designed performance costumes for everyone participating in the program.

The costumes for the girls in the dance group were designed after synthesizing the opinions of the girls participating in the program; they were very fashionable and also very flattering to their figures.

Just by sitting there in their costumes, the girls attracted the gazes of many boys around them.

Not to mention Xia Nuannuan, who already had an excellent figure; after putting on this dance costume, she was truly too eye-catching.

To be honest, after the finished products were made and Xia Nuannuan tried hers on that day, Qin Tian regretted it.

There was no helping it; a man's possessiveness was at work!

But it was too late for regrets; he could only endure it for now, and after this lousy gala ended and they went back, he would have his wife wear this dance skirt and perform for him alone in the room.

Soon, there were only two or three minutes left until seven o'clock in the evening.

The auditorium was basically full, and the freshmen, who had gotten much darker from the sun, were chatting and discussing among themselves, looking to be in very good spirits.

After all, they had endured nearly a month of hard military training and could finally relax; not to mention there was a gala to watch, and the National Day long holiday started tomorrow.

"Those sitting in the front are all going to perform on stage later, right?"

"Should be."

"Buddy, which major are those seniors wearing dance costumes over there from? They all look pretty good!"

"Seems like they're from the Economics department. See that girl sitting with Qin Tian? That should be his girlfriend, Xia Nuannuan."

"She has such a great figure!"

"Nonsense, haven't you heard? We have quite a few beauties at Jiang University on the level of school belle, but if you count figure, Xia Nuannuan is absolutely invincible."

"Hey, hey, look over there. Is Senior Qin Tian going to perform on stage too?"

"Senior Qin Tian? Where, where? Wow, he looks so handsome in that outfit!"

"Stop being a fan girl, look at the senior next to him."

"Ugh... I think I know where I lost."

Many freshmen around were secretly sizing up Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, whispering to each other.

This was also the reason why Xia Nuannuan felt a bit uncomfortable with so many people looking this way.

When she was still in kindergarten, she had performed in a children's program with her classmates, and ever since then, she had been an invisible person in class.

Dressed up like this, performing on stage in front of so many freshmen, and dancing at that—she was actually quite nervous inside.

Sensing her emotions, Qin Tian took one of her hands, held it in his palm, and gently patted the back of her hand.

"Don't be nervous, you're just my backup dancer; I'm the main character, okay!"

"Pfft!"

Xia Nuannuan couldn't help but be amused; she hurriedly raised her other hand to cover her mouth and gave him a reproachful glare.

"Qin Tian is right. If he, the main character, isn't nervous, what are you nervous about?"

Shen Siqi chimed in with a smile.

"You're not nervous?"

Xia Nuannuan tilted her head and glanced at her.

"Uh... I actually am a little."

Shen Siqi nodded with an awkward smile.

"Then you have the nerve to talk about me."

"Yes, yes, yes, I should say 'us'; none of us are nervous, ah!"

"Hee hee..."

At this moment, the students from the two Economics classes who weren't participating in the program also came over together and sat not far behind the group to the left.

Chen Zhuang, with his tall 1.9-meter frame, was very conspicuous sitting there, waving his arm high at Shen Siqi with a bright smile.

Shen Siqi rolled her eyes and turned her head away, pretending not to see him.

Suddenly, the music in the auditorium died down.

The noisy, clamorous sounds also immediately quieted down a lot.

As the lights focused on both sides of the stage, two elaborately dressed hosts, holding microphones and wearing enthusiastic smiles, walked to the center of the stage together.

The two used fluent and resonant Mandarin, coordinating perfectly to finish the opening lines they had already rehearsed many times.

Immediately following, the host retreated behind the curtain, and the members performing the first act took the stage.

They were several popular professors from the School of Economics and Management; two men and two women appeared in succession, singing a classic Cantonese song together.

They sang quite well, and with the students dancing in the background to set the mood, this opening act was considered a success.

As the music ended, enthusiastic applause erupted in the auditorium, and the lively atmosphere began to surge.

After the four professors bowed to express their thanks, they retreated behind the curtain together with the members of the dance troupe.

The female host walked onto the stage once more, and after a bit of bridging dialogue, the second act began.

One act after another was performed; some were very brilliant, while others seemed rather dull and boring to the freshmen.

"It's about time, everyone should go to the back to prepare."

Qian Ling turned her head and said this to the group.

"So fast!"

"It's over, it's over, I'm a bit nervous, what should I do!"

"I am too, it feels completely different from the rehearsals, the pressure is so high."

"Don't, don't say anymore, let's go, let's head behind the curtain first."

Everyone spoke one after another, rising in succession to walk toward the wall of the auditorium, heading toward the door located in the front corner.

Behind that door was the preparation and resting area behind the curtain.

Inside the auditorium, many freshmen saw this scene and began to discuss it with some excitement.

"They're coming, they're coming, the act by Senior Qin Tian and the others is about to start."

"I wonder what kind of act it is! I'm so looking forward to it!"

"It feels like it might be singing and dancing; those wearing the same clothes should be the backup dancers, and there are four wearing different clothes, could they be in charge of singing too?"

"Who cares, as long as it's good to watch."

"I heard that Senior Qin Tian seems to have a knack for guitar and singing; he even showed off his skills during their military training last year."

"Really? How do you know that?"

"I'm a loyal fan of the senior now, I've found out a lot of information."
