After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Chapter 419 No Need to Compare

The teacher asked Ding Zhinuo to stand on the stage and let the people below start voting.

If you vote for Xia Nian, write one on the card; if you vote for Ding Zhinuo, write two. After you're done, put them in the box in front.

After a while, the vote count came out, 33 to 32, Xia Nian had one vote less!

Ding Zhinuo pulled her skirt tightly and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew who voted for her, because she had told them in advance not to vote for the role of the princess. There were probably some people who accepted the gifts but did not vote for her. She didn't know who voted with this method.

And there are still many boys below, how could they choose the role of the princess? Ding Zhinuo naturally did not bribe them, and two-thirds of Xia Nian's votes could have been cast by them.

Just when everyone thought Ding Zhinuo had won, the teacher suddenly shouted: "I haven't voted yet. I vote for Xia Nian."

After she finished speaking, the audience started to discuss. The teacher waved her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. "Xia Nian's dancing ability is stronger, and her understanding of the role is also very deep. Her expressions are also very good."

She smiled and said, "I am speaking from a professional perspective. I don't think Ding Zhinuo will not misunderstand what the teacher said, right?"

Ding Zhinuo forced a smile. Xia Nian noticed her expression. She was obviously not convinced and was ready to refute, but she changed her mind when she heard the teacher's words.

Xia Nian was sure that she was easily influenced by other people's words in her decision-making.

"Teacher, in this case, they have a tie and are not elected. Do we have to compete again?" someone asked.

The teacher lowered his head, thinking about what to do. Suddenly, the door of the auditorium was opened. Everyone looked and saw a tall boy walking in from the door, with his hands casually in his pockets, and walking down the stairs at a leisurely pace.

"No need to compare, I'll vote for you." The boy looked at Xia Nian and smiled at her, "Vote for Xia."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the seats looked surprised and started talking about it.

Xia Nian heard the name from their mouths - Xia Hou Yu.

She focused her eyes and looked closely at the young man who was standing on the platform not far away, and moved her fingers.

This boy turned out to be the one she saw on the bridge last time.

Just at that time, she got the news that the champion had returned, and he appeared. Could it be that all those things were done by Xiahou Yu?

Xia Nian collected her thoughts. Now that they were in the same school, she would have plenty of opportunities to ask him questions.

When she looked up at him again, the boy's expression was serious yet a little unruly, and he looked at her boldly.

"Xiahou Yu!" Ding Zhinuo next to her suddenly shouted in a low voice, "You haven't even looked at it, what are you throwing?" She shouted at Xiahou Yu.

Xiahou Yu glared at her: "Who said I didn't read it? Of course, I only read Xia's."

"then you……"

"Because I can't stand watching your performance." Xiahou Yu said with a smile.

Ding Zhinuo's face turned red with anger. She knew that Xiahou Yu targeted her because of the championship purchase incident. This incident was done by the Xiahou family, which also meant that the relationship between the Ding family and the Xiahou family had deteriorated.

The teacher hurriedly said, "Then it's decided. Xia Nian will play the role of Princess Sera."

Ding Zhinuo quickly ran off the stage holding up her skirt, and the girl who had just cheered for her rushed in to comfort her.

Xia Nian glanced at Xia Houyu again and slowly walked off the stage.

In the dressing room, the girl was comforting Ding Zhinuo. Seeing Xia Nian coming, the girl leaned close to her ear and said softly, "Zhinuo, don't cry. We all think you are very suitable for this role, but it's a pity that someone else snatched it away."

Ding Zhinuo wiped away her tears and saw Xia Nian removing her makeup. She was angry but didn't want to confront her.

She still remembered that the champion was Xia Nian. She originally thought that Xia Nian was just an ordinary student, and even if the championship was bought, it would not cause any waves. But she did not expect that Xia Hou Yu would intervene and cause her to lose the championship. Now Xia Nian actually came here to study!

And just now Xiahou Yu appeared to help her. Could it be that Xia Nian has some relationship with the Xiahou family?

This was why Ding Zhinuo didn't dare to question rashly. Because of the championship purchase incident, the relationship between the Ding family and the Xiahou family was already not very good, and her father also asked her to be more restrained. If Xia Nianzhen had any relationship with the Xiahou family, then she really couldn't provoke him easily and could only swallow her anger.

Yao Lin, who was standing next to her, seemed to know what she was thinking and said softly, "Zhinuo, do you think she has any relationship with the Xiahou family?"

Ding Zhinuo said angrily: "How should I know?" She went to the fitting room to change her clothes, and when she came out, she picked up her bag and left quickly.

When Yao Lin went after her, Xia Nian heard her laugh.

A smile of gloating.

Xia Nian didn't think much about it. When she was about to take off her hair, the teacher in charge of the costumes suddenly stopped her and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, try on the dress that the princess wore at the beginning. I'll see what's wrong with it."

Xia Nian agreed and put on the rather complicated skirt with the help of the teacher.

This is the outfit Sera wore when she appeared on stage. It was as luxurious as it could be. Xia Nian couldn't help but admire her secretly. Aristocratic schools are different. Even the performance costumes are made so delicately. The aqua blue sand on them glows with a different luster under the light.

It was just that the waist was a little big, so the teacher took a ribbon and tied it on, saying, "Not bad, just change the size." She held Xia Nian's shoulders and asked her to face the mirror. Xia Nian couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when she looked at herself in the mirror.

Even when she danced in the past, she never wore such an exquisite skirt, but today she experienced it.

At this time, the teacher in charge of the stage play came in from outside and said, "Xia Nian, someone is looking for you outside."

Xia Nian said, "I understand, teacher." She reached out to untie her belt, and the costume teacher said, "Go ahead. I'll need to measure your size later."

"Okay." Xia Nian agreed, lifted her skirt and quickly left the dressing room.

She thought it was Xiahou Yu, but unexpectedly the person was Cheng Zhou.

"Niannian." Cheng Zhou walked a few steps to her. He was wearing glasses, but the joy on his face made him look a little immature.

"Brother Cheng Zhou." Xia Nian said. She had just seen him on the stage.

Cheng Zhou came up and held her hand, saying, "Nian Nian, I didn't expect you to come to our school to study. I will take care of you in school in the future."

Xia Nian blushed and said seriously, "I don't need anyone to take care of me. I think it's better for us to keep a certain distance in school."

"Why?" Cheng Zhou frowned, then immediately understood, "Are you afraid that Xiwen will make a scene?"

In the past, Cheng Zhou would fly to Yinzhou to see Xia Nian whenever he was free, which made his father and his sister who came later very uncomfortable. In their eyes, Xia Nian was just an adopted daughter with whom they had only lived for a year. How could she be compared to a blood relative?

Xia Nian shook her head and said, "No, you and I are so close, others will inevitably make assumptions. Do you want them to know that your sister is an illegitimate daughter?"

Xia Nian always speaks directly. She does not bear a grudge against Cheng Xiwen, she is just stating the facts.

In this kind of aristocratic school, everyone is the eldest son or daughter of a family. Illegitimate sons and daughters are discriminated against because they also have the right of inheritance.

"I...then we can just get along as friends." Cheng Zhou took a step back. There were rumors when Cheng Xiwen came to school. It was only when he was entrusted by her father to say that she had studied abroad before that the rumors gradually disappeared.

Xia Nian looked down and said, "Then let go."

Cheng Zhou had no choice but to let go. Xia Nian sighed inwardly. She knew that Cheng Zhou had always felt regretful. In the year when she was adopted, he had always been an excellent brother.

"Cheng Zhou, I have never blamed you or your parents, including your sister. Can you let go of what happened before? After all, I was just adopted. I know you tried your best at the time." Xia Nian said calmly, "Let's just be ordinary friends from now on."

After saying that, she turned around, but his hands grabbed her shoulders.

"No, there is only one sister in my heart, and that is you." Cheng Zhou said, looking a little anxious, "Xiwen is just a mistake made by my father."

Xia Nian frowned and broke free from his hand, "Then don't be as confused as your father."

Cheng Zhou stood there in a daze, looking at her slender back, remembering that a few years ago, she was also so determined and would not look back for him.

At the wall at the corner, Cheng Xiwen, who heard the conversation between the two, covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from crying.
