Qiu Xinling, Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling took the stage one after another, dressed elegantly. Led by Qiu Xinling, they moved with graceful steps, stepping onto the stage one by one, and waved to the audience with charming gestures, drawing cheers from the crowd. The group of five girls immediately captured everyone's attention. Many students surged forward, eager to get close and watch them. The venue became bustling, and despite the presence of numerous security personnel, the crowd couldn't be managed. The school therefore temporarily assembled more people to serve as security staff to help maintain order. However, no matter how hard they tried, the surge of people could not be contained. At this moment, the host played a crucial role—she asked everyone to be quiet, as the campus singing competition was being live broadcast on television. If the audience didn't enjoy the performance, there would be a replay during the prime time tomorrow. With this announcement, the atmosphere in the venue settled considerably.
Qiu Xin Yue accepted the microphone offered by the host, bowed gracefully to the audience, and with a voice as pure and resonant as a heavenly melody, said: "Good morning, everyone—teachers, classmates, and judges! We are a newly formed five-member all-female group, and we warmly present to you a dance and song performance!" This simple opening statement earned thunderous applause, and the performance unfolded with great brilliance. Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling wore flowing half-silk gowns, each holding a pipa, moving with light and graceful steps, dancing and playing around Qiu Xin Yue. Qiu Xin Yue had her hair elegantly coiled high, like a lotus emerging from water, radiant and bright. She wore a white dance dress, singing and dancing beautifully throughout the performance.
"Netbsp; Summer willow caresses the bloom, autumn cherry drifts through the sky, winter's yan melts the ice essence, quiet whispers exchanged between lips, rose petals crumble, gentle spirits converge, subtle inspiration stirs delight..." This rendition of "Heavenly Fragrance" by An Yixuan, perfectly sung by Qiu Xingyue, flows like a young sparrow emerging from the valley, as graceful as a swallow returning to its nest, offering a fresh and captivating experience—everyone is enchanted by her voice.
"Wow! What kind of dance is this?" someone exclaims.
The crowd turns to watch: Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling each hold a pipa, dancing in rhythm with Qiu Xingyue's song—singing and dancing in perfect harmony. As the supporting green leaves, they enhance the brilliance of the central bloom, making Qiu Xingyue's performance even more enchanting.
As Qiu Xingyue sings, "For beauty, I'd die content; heavenly fragrance, like water, penetrates your heart—whom are you in love with, and who has caused you to fall?" the crowd erupts
"Wow, what a performance!" someone in the crowd cheered. "Really? Oh my goodness! That's fantastic—today has truly been eye-opening!" A girl exclaimed with enthusiasm. "Five golden blossoms! Five golden blossoms! Truly outstanding! Our idols are absolutely stunning! Yay!" Another girl jumped up, mimicking the graceful dance moves of Qiu Xinxue on stage. The crowd surged forward like a rushing tide, quickly losing control again. The celebrity host struggled hard to deliver a passionate speech before the situation finally settled down. "Outstanding in both appearance and talent!" the judges beamed with delight, nodding in approval and announcing the scores—on the electronic display, a high score of 9.8 was revealed. "They've won!" Zu Tianpei, sitting at the front, looked deeply disappointed and said to Liang Qinyun beside him. Just as Liang Qinyun was about to speak, a confident voice interrupted: "The real drama has only just begun!"
Everyone turned to look—there stood a very handsome boy and a strikingly beautiful girl.
"Really? There's more to come?" The crowd stirred excitedly.
Hao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling, who had just been immersed in flowers and accolades, were stunned to see their former idols—Gao Liang and his classmate Gao Ruolan—arriving on stage.
In contrast, Qiu Xingyue remained calm, eager to see what Gao Liang had in store.
Gao Liang and Gao Ruolan bowed to the audience, then took the microphone from the host and spoke with a strong, clear voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention—the truly exciting performances are about to begin." They looked bright and confident.
"Wow! The prince of the castle! And there's a beautiful girl by his side too! This show is going to be great!" someone exclaimed.
"Isn't that the leading member of F4, Ou Yang? It's just a pity—F4 can't hold their own against the five golden blossoms!" a female audience member expressed with a touch of regret.
Left Tianpei and Liang Qin Yun were also astonished—they had no idea what program Guang Liang and Guang Ruolan were performing together.
"Please be quiet! Please be quiet! This is my partner, Guang Ruolan!" Guang Liang said into the microphone with a warm, resonant male voice, drawing many girls to gaze at Guang Ruolan, their eyes glistening with admiration. Guang Ruolan felt a quiet sense of happiness and nodded gently. Guang Liang continued, "Before we begin our performance, I'd like to demonstrate a taekwondo routine with Guang Ruolan. Does everyone agree?"
"Wow! Taekwondo! So impressive! I absolutely love taekwondo! Yay!" A girl from the first row suddenly stood up, cheering and jumping with excitement.
Qiu Xinxue stood by, watching Guang Liang and Guang Ruolan with wide eyes, thinking to herself: "You weren't my biggest defeat, were you? Now you're showing me taekwondo—how embarrassing!"
Gao Liang and Gao Ruolan performed with great enthusiasm, their taekwondo routines far exceeding expectations—especially touching Qiu Xin Yue, who felt her face grow warm with a sudden sense of embarrassment. Many female audience members were deeply moved, going wild with excitement, shouting passionately, "The F4 is back! The F4 will win! The F4, go! The F4, forever!" It turned out that the scene they were reenacting—on the day they first performed at the taekwondo hall—had a particularly vivid moment: Gao Ruolan launched a powerful aerial kick straight toward Gao Liang's chest. Gao Liang remained calm and composed, neither stepping back nor moving aside, as if he had already planned every move. He executed a precise block, holding firm to his chest, then clasped his hands tightly and shouted, "There!"—and to everyone's surprise, Gao Ruolan's right leg, which had just landed, was firmly caught between Gao Liang's hands. "Ow! That's so painful!" Gao Ruolan cried out as she fell from the air. This time, Gao Liang swiftly caught her with a swift and graceful motion.
Gao Ruo Lan's delicate figure was supported by Gao Bright's hands, as she spun gracefully toward the audience, sending the crowd into a state of excitement. A gentle happiness shone on Gao Ruo Lan's face. This scene left many women envious—Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling, though they had become part of the "Five Golden Blossoms," still held Gao Bright in high esteem, and that status wasn't easily shaken. Qiu Xin Yue was especially frustrated—this performance clearly seemed aimed at her! After the initial wave of applause, Gao Bright and Gao Ruo Lan faced the audience together and said, "Now, we'd like to perform a dance for you—would everyone please give us a round of applause?" "Yes!" The crowd erupted in enthusiastic clapping. "I didn't hear that!" Gao Bright made a playful gesture, which was both comical and charming. Gao Ruo Lan quietly smiled as well. On stage, the two looked effortlessly elegant—how could anyone not admire them?
So the applause was thunderous and unceasing, completely overwhelming the earlier applause from the five blossoms. The five blossoms were now impressed. "The real show is about to begin!" someone in the crowd cheered. Qiu Xin glanced over and saw Gao Liang and Gao Ruolan dancing lightly and gracefully, their movements perfectly synchronized and natural. "Whoa! What kind of dance is this?" H Zhao Meixuan and Xu Xinyan exclaimed in amazement. "Light Dance – the Grade of Floral Elegance!" Zhang Xiaoli and Chen Yanling almost said it simultaneously. Qiu Xin witnessed the most captivating moment: Gao Liang would sometimes embrace Gao Ruolan's waist, at other times intertwine with her in various dance poses. Gao Ruolan's full, soft breasts frequently brushed against and rubbed against Gao Liang's body, causing many to blush—especially the men. For the first time, they realized how intimately a dance could involve a beautiful woman. "I'd better learn to dance sometime," she thought.
Gao Chao arrived, and Qiu Xin Yue saw: Gao Ruolan grasped Gao Liang's shoulders with both jade hands, spinning gracefully with his body—light and elegant, drawing a wave of applause. "A true master of dance! She's truly the master of dance!" someone shouted. "They're simply made for each other—destined to be a perfect pair!" someone else exclaimed in wonder. "They're absolutely perfect together! The man is handsome, the woman radiant. Today, it's clearly fate bringing them together!" Others cheered and clapped. On stage, Gao Ruolan heard this, blushing deeply, while Gao Liang remained composed and indifferent. Qiu Xin Yue didn't know what she felt—she couldn't quite put it into words—she could only look down. Gao Liang stepped up to the microphone and called out, "Now, we're going to present our most exciting performance!"
