I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 864: Scheming 1

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Scheming 1
"Alright..." Ning Xixi hesitated for a moment and handed the script to Luo Huahua.
Unexpectedly, Luo Huahua seemed addicted and kept it from Ning Xixi.
"Next up are the contestants from Muying High School, Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi. Let’s welcome them with warm applause." The host announced, and Ning Xixi panicked, hurriedly tugging on Ji Yebai’s sleeve, "Dabai, it’s our turn."
Ji Yebai opened his eyes and nodded indifferently.
Luo Huahua stuffed the script back to Ning Xixi, her slightly chubby face showing a bit of haste, but Ning Xixi was too focused on going on stage to notice.
The two stepped onto the stage, Ning Xixi cleared her throat and first introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, teachers and fellow students. I am contestant Ning Xixi."
After speaking, she nudged Ji Yebai with her elbow, and the young master spoke leisurely, "Ji Yebai."
The judges below had listened to quite a few recitations and were somewhat tired, but suddenly a handsome pair took to the stage, and the judges perked up.
Once the two went on stage, the judges began scoring, with the impression score extraordinarily high!
"The title of our recitation is ’The Most Beautiful Youth and the Most Beautiful Friendship.’ " Ning Xixi said, opening the A4 paper with the script, her expression instantly freezing.
Could anyone tell her how the paper that was filled with black Song fonts just now turned completely blank?
She sharply scanned the audience, but Luo Huahua had already disappeared!
Damn it!
Luo Huahua was clearly a student of Muying, why would she do this?
She braced herself and recited the first two lines, Ji Yebai followed with two lines, and noticing Ning Xixi wasn’t continuing, he curiously glanced at her.
The two exchanged a look, and Ning Xixi signaled with her eyes: The script is blank!
Oh no... what to do now, the class president surely had high hopes for them, yet she couldn’t remember the script at all, they’re doomed! They’re certainly going to get the lowest score in the whole venue!
Unexpectedly, Ji Yebai merely raised a brow, then confidently continued.
"Like love begins with love, friendship begins with friendship." He paused and winked at Ning Xixi, who understood and braced herself to repeat, "Friendship begins with friendship."
"Without friendship, we can’t talk about youth, because friendship is the most beautiful flower that adorns youth."
"Friendship is the most beautiful flower that adorns youth."
"..."
Ji Yebai, with his astonishing memory, recited the entire script, and with his cues, Ning Xixi repeated each phrase, allowing the two to complete the recitation.
The judges were unaware of the script mishap and thought this was their unique recitation style, they made bold strokes and gave them high scores.
With hearts still pounding, they stepped off the stage, Ning Xixi was yet to calm down.
"Phew... Dabai, luckily, you were quick-witted."
Ji Yebai glanced at her sideways, "What happened? Was there a problem with the script?"
Ning Xixi grimaced and showed him the blank paper, "Look, that girl named Luo Huahua must’ve meddled with it, she swapped the recitation script for blank paper."
Ji Yebai thoughtfully glanced in Xu Liuli’s direction, then casually stopped a boy.
The boy stuttered, "Young Master Ji, do you need something from me?"
"Spread the word, tell Luo Huahua to meet me at the rooftop, or Muying will have no place for her." Ji Yebai said coldly.
The boy snapped to attention, "Yes, Young Master Ji!"
