Su Qi followed his Zi Jin, backstage.

Many busy college students couldn't help but turn their gaze to Su Qi, who exuded an ethereal aura.

Many girls who had followed "The Happy Heroic Couple" boldly surrounded Wang Zijin when she went on stage to host the show.

Su Qi was cute as she was, but she wasn't the type of girl these female college students were more interested in. They were more interested in Su Qi's brother, Su Siyang. Because online, Su Siyang had acknowledged that Su Qi was his sister.

After chatting with the group of female college students for a while, Su Qi made a surprising discovery. Even though she wasn't very emotionally intelligent, she could tell that several of the girls wanted to be her sister-in-law.

One girl even publicly declared that she didn't want a bride price, which made Su Qi somewhat envious of her brother's popularity with women.

Then several girls asked Su Qi for her brother's WeChat.

Recently, Su Qi uninstalled WeChat because of the constant stream of boys confessing their feelings to her, leaving a group of girls disappointed.

As for why she didn't ask Su Qi for her brother's phone number?

That's because Wang Zijin arrived with a sharp gaze, and under Wang Zijin's powerful aura, the women scattered like birds and beasts.

After everyone left, Su Qi began to look around.

This was Su Qi's first time coming to the back of the stage. After all, she had always been a nobody since childhood and had never performed on any shows.

Su Qi glanced around the backstage area, then looked through the curtain at the sea of people in front of her. The thought of giving a speech in front of so many people made her nervous, even though she had practiced many times.

At this moment, Su Qi still felt nervous and unconsciously clenched her fist.

Wang Zijin noticed Su Qi's subtle actions, but this time, she did not take any action.

A proper sense of nervousness before going on stage can lead to better performance.

Two male college students in white lab coats finished their crosstalk performance and left the stage.

Su Qi swallowed hard; she knew it would be her turn to go on stage soon.

Just then, she saw the male college student in the white coat walking towards her.

Seeing Su Qi's ethereal Hanfu, he was stunned for a moment before speaking, "I'll leave the microphone for the next show on stage." This is a custom that actors must explain the microphone's location after each performance.

As he spoke, he pointed to the microphone stand on the stage.

Su Qi glanced at the spot where the two had just been performing their crosstalk, nodded somewhat stiffly, and indicated that she understood.

This boy actually knew Su Qi. He learned a lot about Su Qi through the forum and even bought her game.

He had originally intended to chat with Su Qi, but seeing how nervous she looked, and with the student council president watching him intently, the boy thought for a moment and then quietly walked away.

Just then, Su Qi heard Han Yixing on the stage say, "Now, please let our principal present Su Qi with the honor she deserves."

Immediately following this was a burst of rousing music.

Su Qi swallowed hard, knowing that it was now her turn to go on stage.

"Oil!"

He felt his wife pat his back and gently rub his back.

Not wanting to lose face, Su Qi nodded and boldly walked out.

But just as she stepped out from behind the curtain, all the lights in the venue suddenly went out. Immediately afterwards, a circular spotlight shone on her.

Feeling surrounded by light, Su Qi panicked, because this scene wasn't in the script at all!

Su Qi wanted to look into her wife Zijin's eyes for some security, but under the spotlight, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Feeling the countless gazes from the audience below, Su Qi, a college student who had only recently overcome her social anxiety, was deeply moved.

At this moment, her mind was blank. Before the blankness subsided, she gave herself the instruction to go to the center of the stage.

Su Qi walked stiffly, as if she were wound up like a clockwork toy. The distance between the backstage and the center of the stage was only about 15 steps.

The audience watching the big screen noticed that when Su Qi took the 8th step, she became so nervous that she had to use crutches.

However, it must be said that Su Qi's beauty and the ethereal Hanfu she wore today were striking. Even with her nervousness leading her to use crutches, it didn't look out of place at all; in fact, it added to her cuteness.

Principal Lin Xiangdong, who was already standing in the center of the stage, looked at Su Qi, who was walking from side to side like a little duck. A smile appeared on his usually serious face.

Actually, this lighting was a last-minute decision he made, instructing the student in charge of the lighting to make a change.

During a casual chat, Lin Xiangdong, the principal, heard from many teachers that Su Qi had the courage to practice.

The more experiences one has, the bolder one becomes. In order to better help Su Qi grow, Lin Xiangdong temporarily made this change for Su Qi.

Seeing the little girl finally walk up to him, Lin Xiangdong adjusted the microphone stand and said, "To commend Su Qi Su Qi for her positive contributions, and in recognition of her excellent academic performance, the school hereby awards her a scholarship of 50,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, many students exclaimed that their school was truly generous, having directly awarded as much as 50,000 yuan.

When everyone saw Principal Lin Xiangdong hand over that ridiculously large check to Su Qi, they were all green with envy.

After all, that's 50,000.

Lin Xiangdong handed the check to Su Qi and then said, "Now, let's invite our good role model, Su Qi, to talk about her journey of helping others!"

After speaking, Principal Lin Xiangdong clapped his hands, and the audience below the stage also clapped and burst into enthusiastic applause before he stepped off the stage.

After the principal left, Su Qi stared blankly at the stage, alone with a look of restraint and helplessness in her large eyes.

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted from the huge check to the Master was holding it in both hands.

Then they saw Su Qi's nervous expression and tense face. Seeing this, all the viewers held their breath for her.

Holding the huge check in both hands, Su Qi took three steps and finally reached the microphone.

Looking at the dense crowd below the stage, Su Qi was so nervous that her teeth were chattering.

However, at this time, some unexpected situations arose.

Because Principal Lin Xiangdong had just given a speech, he adjusted the microphone to a higher position.

She was almost as tall as Su Qi, who was only 163cm tall.

Su Qi, who wanted to give a speech, had no choice but to lower the microphone.

Having little experience performing on stage, she had no idea how to adjust the microphone stand and struggled for over ten seconds without success.

Su Qi wanted to put the check on the ground, but then felt that it wasn't a good idea. She was anxious because her hair was sticking to her neck.

The more anxious she became, the more mistakes she made; the more flustered she became, the more her hands panicked. Gradually, a mist appeared in Su Qi's large eyes due to her anxiety, making her extremely endearing.

This scene was displayed on the big screen. The audience members watching all wanted to go up and help, afraid that Su Qi would burst into tears.

Meanwhile, backstage, Wang Zijin had long wanted to go up and help, but she was stopped by Principal Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Xiangdong had deliberately turned up the microphone, intending to use this unexpected little incident to test Su Qi's courage.

Okay, after about thirty seconds, Su Qi finally lowered the microphone.

Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the audience who had been watching her from below the stage also breathed a sigh of relief.

At Su University, it is important to note the format of speeches; a bow of 1-2 seconds is required before and after the speech.

Just as everyone thought, Su Qi would bow and then begin her speech.

Another accident occurred.

Su Qi was so nervous that she didn't step back when she bowed. Her head bumped directly into the microphone, knocking it over after she had just managed to straighten it.

The microphone slammed to the ground with a piercing "ving-", and the director then focused the camera on the fallen microphone and a person clutching their head.

Su Qi stared at the microphone with disbelief.

At this moment, the entire venue was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.
