Chapter 380: Blast
After a brief interlude, the school celebration continued in an orderly manner.
Taking this accident as a lesson, Bai Yuan dispatched additional staff to strengthen the guidance of the performers to prevent such incidents from happening again and affecting the overall progress of the event.
Without external interference, the subsequent performances went extremely smoothly without any problems.
Finally, this large-scale performance report came to a perfect end.
The student union's logistics manager also breathed a sigh of relief.
The next task is relatively easy.
Unlike other schools’ anniversary celebrations, Hailan Private High School also held a large dinner after the performance, which is the so-called campus dance.
For the students of Hailan Private High School, who have long been accustomed to attending various banquets, this is actually the most familiar part.
The dance was held in the school's largest Starlight Auditorium. The interior of the auditorium adhered to the usual design style of Hailan Private High School, which was highly technological yet luxurious.
The dome of the auditorium is made of huge and transparent crystals, and it was made with precise physical design. When the weather in Haiqi is good, you can see a starry sky that is brighter and more brilliant than anywhere else.
However, due to the influence of Haiqi's weather, Bai Yuan has been studying in Hailan Private High School for almost two years and has never seen such a dreamy scene in the Starlight Auditorium.
Therefore, this expensive auditorium was criticized by students and was rated as one of the most useless designs in Hailan Private High School.
Although you can't see the beautiful night sky, the auditorium itself is a highly accomplished work of art, so whenever the school has large-scale dance events, it will be chosen as the venue.
The venue for the dance was set up two weeks in advance. Apart from the cleaning needed the day before the school anniversary, there was no need to do anything else. The fruit buffet for the dance had already been arranged by another group of logistics staff specifically responsible for it during the performance report, and it could now be put into use directly.
After a busy day, the logistics staff of the Student Union were finally able to change into their dresses and enjoy this relaxing dance with other students.
Bai Yuan changed into a dark green evening gown as she usually liked. She was in her prime, elegant and steady, with a glimpse of her peerless beauty that attracted many people's attention.
However, because Pei Jin was traveling with her, she could not approach her to invite her to dance or have a close conversation with her. All she could do was to remain acquainted with her.
Bai Yuan herself was not keen on such social occasions, so she only danced with Pei Jin at the opening, and then found a secluded corner, quietly waiting for the end of the dance.
During the dance, the most eye-catching thing at the party was Zhang Quan's two eye sockets that were as dark as a panda's. They were too conspicuous at a party where everyone was dressed up in exquisite attire, and he was absent from the previous performance. Even Bai Yuan couldn't help but look at him several more times.
Pei Jin had been keeping an eye on Bai Yuan. When he saw her frequently looking at Zhang Quan, he thought she had seen something. He suppressed his inner nervousness and anxiety, leaned close to Bai Yuan's ear, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
At the dance, the symphony and the sounds of people talking and laughing mixed together, making it seem a bit noisy. Only when people like Pei Jin spoke close could they be heard.
The breath of the young man as he spoke hit Bai Yuan's ears, which felt a little itchy and a little hot, but Bai Yuan did not push Pei Jin away. After hearing clearly what the other party said, he nodded slightly to signal him.
Pei Jin looked in the direction Bai Yuan indicated, his eyes fell on Zhang Quan's dark eye sockets, his brows slightly frowned.
After instructing his followers to release the man, he never paid attention to what happened to Zhang Quan afterwards. He also had no idea how his cronies threatened him to keep his mouth shut about what happened today.
At this point, it is natural to think that they used some kind of non-violent non-cooperation method.
His original intention was to let his men use coercion and bribery to give him some money as hush money or something, but he didn't expect to let such a reckless person beat Zhang Quan up.
He is a rich and powerful young master, not a school bully!
Is it worth it?
Seeing this, Pei Jin said disapprovingly: "Who beat him?"
He tried to distance himself from the matter and draw a clear line between himself and Bai Yuan. Even if Bai Yuan pursued the matter later, he could defend himself by saying that he was ignorant of the matter.
Besides, he really doesn’t know this!!!
There is not the slightest trace of acting.
"Who else could it be..." Bai Yuan did not doubt him and replied, "Zhao Xin."
The best way to hurt someone is to punch them, not to slap them.
This is something Bai Yuan has known since childhood and has always fully implemented it.
Based on her own experience gained from many years of practice, Zhao Xin's two solid punches were truly pure and without any mercy.
Even Bai Yuan couldn't guarantee that he could create such even and perfect dark circles.
If Zhao Xin had not practiced beforehand, he could only be described as a gifted person.
Recalling the scene he saw at that time, Bai Yuan said: "He came back not long after you left. Before he could explain the reason, Zhao Xin went up and punched him in the left eye..."
Pei Jin: …
This time it was Pei Jin's turn to be silent.
After silently mourning for Zhang Quan for three seconds, Pei Jin asked, "What was he doing?"
Bai Yuan: "He said he fainted in the toilet due to low blood sugar, and was taken to the infirmary by a kind passerby. When he woke up, it was too late."
Seeing that Zhang Quan's excuse was not bad, Pei Jin finally put his heart at ease and breathed a sigh of relief. He then said, "This... is indeed force majeure. What about his other eye...?"
All the sick people are vaccinated???
Bai Yuan: "He didn't report it immediately after waking up, so he deserved the punch. If he had come back two minutes later, Zhao Xin would have called the police if she couldn't find him."
Zhao Xin threw these two punches in front of everyone backstage. On the one hand, he was angry and wanted to vent his anger by throwing a few punches. On the other hand, he was worried about Zhang Quan's safety and was simply confused.
"But fortunately, no one is hurt, and the subsequent performances went on smoothly." Looking at the two people who had reconciled and were dancing together on the dance floor, Bai Yuan raised his eyes to look at Pei Jin beside him and said, "You have made an invaluable contribution, Master Pei."
At first, this didn't sound like much, but Pei Jin felt guilty, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Bai Yuan was hinting at something. He tried to remain calm and said, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
"Although we were safe this time, we can't guarantee that it will be the same every time. I think this kind of thing once is enough." Bai Yuan looked into Pei Jin's eyes calmly, "Mr. Pei, what do you think?"
"What did I say..." Perhaps it was because Bai Yuan's aura was too strong at that moment, which frightened Pei Jin so much that he couldn't help but stutter. In the end, he couldn't help it and was the first to look away.
Bai Yuan: "This is just the first time. It won't happen again."
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Pei Jin looked embarrassed. Although he didn't know how Bai Yuan figured it out, since he was found out, he simply stopped pretending and acquiesced, "You...you know everything?"
"I didn't know..." However, the next second, a smile suddenly appeared in Bai Yuan's eyes, and the aura around him disappeared, as if nothing had happened. When he looked at Pei Jin, there was also a hint of teasing and cunning in his eyes, "Now I know."
Pei Jin was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted quickly and grabbed Bai Yuan's wrist, his pupils trembling violently, "You cheated me!!!"
"Yeah, it exploded." Bai Yuan admitted lightly.
She didn't suspect Pei Jin at first.
It's a surprise, it's normal.
The backup plan is specially prepared for this kind of unexpected incidents, leaving room and loopholes in advance.
If the whole process can go smoothly without any mistakes and every step is carried out perfectly, that is something that will only happen with a very small probability.
Bai Yuan just saw that Pei Jin was so concerned about this matter, so he made a lie casually, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually confess.
Now that he knew that Zhang Quan's absence was closely related to Pei Jin, Bai Yuan's tone became more serious and he warned:
"I don't care what personal grudges you have, but I hope this is the last time. If something similar happens again, it's best to solve it privately and not drag everyone into it..."
Bai Yuan didn't know why Pei Jin targeted Zhang Quan, and he had no interest in paying attention to and mediating the dispute between the two.
If there really was any mistake made by Pei Jin in today's performance, she would definitely hold Pei Jin accountable.
But since the matter was resolved in a timely manner and no major mess or irreversible events occurred in the process, Bai Yuan was too lazy to meddle in Pei Jin's affairs.
The process is not important, as long as the result is right.
She has to intervene in everything, as if she has nothing to do.
When he was in the compound, he was the judge for his childhood friends; when he was in the Jiang family, he was the judge for Jiang Feng and Jiang Ran; and in Haiqi, would he have to be the judge for Pei Jin and Zhang Quan again?
Almost there.
There's no point wasting time talking about something that hasn't happened.
But it is still important to point out that just because there was no trouble this time, it doesn't mean everything will be fine next time. It would be good if he could restrain himself.
If the same mistake happens again after this, it won’t be as easy to get over as it was today with just a few words.
What's more, she had already figured out Pei Jin's character almost perfectly.
If you directly give a severe lesson to Qin Lingzheng, who is always asking for trouble, it will only arouse his rebellious psychology. The more he is frustrated, the more courageous he will be. The more he talks, the more likely he will do the same thing next time. He can be said to be a professional who commits crimes in defiance of the law.
The way Pei's mother treats Pei Jin and the way the mother and son get along on a daily basis speaks for itself.
The best way to deal with it is to loosen and tighten, tighten and loosen like Bai Yuan is doing now.
As expected, Pei Jin felt embarrassed when he saw that although Bai Yuan had seen through his tricks behind the scenes, he had no intention of pursuing the matter.
Looking at the pair of panda eyes in Zhang Quan's eye sockets, there is no harm without comparison. I feel that Bai Yuan is really tolerant towards me!
On the other hand, I almost caused such a big trouble for her, but all I got was a bland warning and a second chance.
If it were someone else, even if Pei Jin had encountered this kind of thing himself, he would never let it go.
Pei Jin couldn't describe how he felt.
There was a hint of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Bai Yuan.
But it is impossible to admit the mistake.
It's not possible to go to the city.
Master Pei never gives in!
"I know, I know. I promise you!"
The most you can do is compromise and promise not to make the same mistake again next time.
Pei Jin turned his face away, feeling his face burning.
When he is embarrassed, he either talks a lot or pretends to be busy and finds other things to do.
At this time, in order to end this topic as soon as possible, Pei Jin grabbed Bai Yuan's wrist and pulled her to the dance floor.
"Everyone else is dancing, but you're not. Why are you so unsociable? You're only dancing once at the party I spent so much time arranging? What a shame! Never mind, I'll take you, no need to thank me!"
When they reached the center of the dance floor, Pei Jin first fixed Bai Yuan's hand on his waist, then held her waist loosely, and at the same time held Bai Yuan's hand and clasped it in his palm.
"You are not allowed to step on me!" Pei Jin added.
Seeing Pei Jin pretending to be reluctant, a strand of hair on his forehead slipped down due to the big movement and hung down on the corner of his forehead, swaying slightly from side to side as he spoke, which made Bai Yuan feel itchy in her heart. Driven by compulsion, she wanted to raise her hand to help him not go back.
Feeling that Bai Yuan was about to let go, Pei Jin thought she was going to run, so he hurriedly grabbed her again and at the same time pressed her hand back to her waist.
"Want to run? Are you scared?" Pei Jin raised his beautiful eyebrows, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his azure eyes, "I didn't expect Miss Bai to be stage frightened sometimes!"
"The provoking method is of no use to me."
Bai Yuan said calmly, but did not try to let go of Pei Jin's hand.
At this time, a new round of classical music sounded again. It was too late to withdraw, and it would only disrupt the camp of others.
Bai Yuan accepted the invitation and responded by holding the boy's palm, which was constantly warmer than her own. With her other hand, she lifted the hem of her skirt and performed a perfect court salute.
"Mr. Pei, please."
The various dances performed in social occasions are the basic skills that these young masters and young ladies have learned since childhood.
Although Pei Jin was busy talking, his gesture of returning the gift was not vague at all:
“You won’t know if it works until you try it!”
Bai Yuan had a faint smile on her lips. She said nothing more and no longer thought about the interludes in the performance. She danced in perfect harmony with Pei Jin to the music and concentrated on tonight's campus dance.
The dance was nearing its end, and after the dance, the two bowed to each other again.
Before Pei Jin could lead Bai Yuan back to the position before the dance according to the etiquette of court dance, a futuristic and technological voice suddenly drowned out the lingering sound of the symphony.
Above the head, the crystal dome of the auditorium suddenly split in the middle and slowly descended to both sides. After a while, it was completely lowered and turned into an open-air square.
The sky in Haiqi tonight is still covered with gray clouds, and the stars hanging high in the sky are not visible.
But the next second, countless flashing lights suddenly appeared in the sky.
