Chapter 4 - Chapter 03- School Orientation

Su LingYun enters the auditorium with her friends.

She pauses for a while, admiring the spacious area.

There is a huge screen at the back of the stage that displays XY University's campus' photo and a text that says "SCHOOL ORIENTATION."

A guy holding a microphone walks busily on the stage. He trips himself and drops the microphone on the shiny, wooden floor. He wastes no time and picks it up. He rushes on the podium and attaches the microphone on its stand. He then taps the microphone gently. "Mic test. Mic test." he says softly.

Su LingYun and her friends continue to walk at the middle aisle, passing by the front rows which are already occupied by this time.

They manage to secure themselves seats at the middle row.

Su LingYun glances at the door and notices that more students keep on coming.

She then leaves two vacant chairs between her and Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu raises her brows as she watches Su Lingyun sit apart from her.

Su LingYun places her bag on the seat beside her. "Let's reserve seats for Weiwei and Zi Yue." she smiles.

"Oh. Okay." Xiao Yu understands the assignment and places her bag on the other vacant seat.

A few moments later, Zi Yue and Weiwei enters the auditorium. They pause at the entrance and look around.

Su LingYun waves her hand at them and Weiwei easily spots her. She rushes towards them with a beaming smile.

"You seem to be in a better mood." Xiao Yu says, removing the bag from the seat beside her.

"Of course we are. Our homeroom teacher turns out to be Mr. Wang." Weiwei answers happily. She glances at the vacant chair beside XiaoYu but chooses the one next to Su LingYun.

Zi Yue then occupies the other vacant chair.

"Mr. Wang? The most famous teacher in high school division?" Su LingYun gasps.

Weiwei nods. "Yes. How about you? Who's your homeroom teacher?"

Su Lingyun makes a disappointed face "We also have the most famous teacher as our homeroom teacher." she replies with a weak voice.

"Eh? I didn't know teachers are allowed to supervise two sections." Weiwei frowns, confused.

"They're not." Zi Yue replies.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Weiwei's eyes widen. "Don't tell me your homeroom teacher is Mr. Lim?"

Su Lingyun, Chen Mi and Xiao Yu answers in synch "Yes, he is."

"Ah. You got the worst one." Zi Yue replies frivolously.

"Could we please not talk about that anymore? You're making the three of us feel depressed." Chen Mi glares at Zi Yue.

Zi Yue giggles and raises her hands on air, trying to contain her smile. "Okay."

A few moments later, the auditorium is almost full.

A loud ringing sound echoes on the walls and the students cover their ears from the deafening sound.

The busy man on the stage from before, rushes towards the podium and makes some adjustments on the microphone.

The annoying sound disappears and a man in black suit walks across the stage.

The crowd creates a warm round of applause and makes a standing ovation.

The man in suit raises his arm and signals. Then, the students quietly take their seats.

He approaches the podium and clears his throat before he speaks.

Su LingYun notices the change on the screen. A bald man in suit is now in display and the text changes into SCHOOL PRESIDENT.

"Good afternoon to each and everyone of you." he greets.

"Today is a great day for XY University, as we celebrate our official opening for this school year. We are happy to see our old students move-up into the next level and we are also delighted to welcome our new and incoming first year high school students."

The students give him another round of applause before he continues his speech.

His speech is long and dragging and the students start to lose their interest. Various group of students begin to chatter, while others have succumbed into a sleep.

Su LingYun starts to lose her focus. She looks around and tries to find a subject that could remove her drowsiness but she fails.

She glances at Weiwei who is now busy tapping on her phone.

She watches her play a character with a blue Seimei umbrella. The girl throws her umbrella open and stuns her enemies with it. Strings suddenly appears and pulls the enemies towards the umbrella before it explodes, leaving the enemies no room for survival.The girl teleports back into her umbrella and spins happily.

Su Ling Yun's vision starts to get blurry and her eyelids feel heavier than before. Her head begins to sway lightly and her cheeks found their way on Weiwei's shoulder.

She hears a familiar voice from the microphone but she is too sleepy to open her eyes.

A loud cheer arises from the crowd and Weiwei shrugs her shoulder "Eh! Su LingYun look!" she points at the stage.

The audience suddenly becomes lively and the unfamiliar girls sitting beside her creates a commotion.

"OMG! He's so cool!" a girl shrieks.

Su LingYun slowly lifts up her head and rubs her eyes. She redirects her vision unto the stage.

Her sleepiness washes away as she recognizes the familiar guy on stage. "Hao Yu." she mutters, her eyes are now wide open.

"Hello fellow students!" Hao Yu greets.

The students respond with a cheer.

Hao Yu begins his brief motivational speech as the top1 student among the graduating seniors but none of what he says actually seem to matter. The audience is too focused on his features.

His dark hair perfectly compliments his pale skin. His bristly brows sit atop his brown eyes and his nose is finely contoured.

None of his features seem to be lacking in any way. Not even the smile that forms in those rosy lips. His jawline is sharp, giving him a more manly appearance.

Although his features are strong, his elegance evokes kindness and calmness.

Su LingYun opens her bag and takes out her phone.

The broken screen still makes her furious but she does not complain this time. She pans the camera on the stage and takes a snapshot of HaoYu.

She gets a feeling of excitement and happiness as she stares at the photo. She decides to set it as her lock screen display.

"Don't forget to sign-up on you chosen School Clubs." HaoYu reminds the crowd. "And please consider joining our Performing Arts Club." he adds before waving his hands and taking a bow.

The students cheer loudly as he walks down the stage.

Su LingYun watches as girls approach him to take a picture.

"Okay. Let's go and sign-up for the School Clubs!" Weiwei says energetically.
