I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

252. Speech



Su Qi followed her wife Zijin to the backstage area. Many busy college students couldn’t help but look at Su Qi, who was exuding a fairy-like aura.

Even more girls who had chased the show “Happy Hero Couple” boldly surrounded her when Wang Zijin went on stage to host the program.

As cute as Su Qi was, she wasn’t the type these female college students liked. They were more interested in Su Qi’s brother—Su Siyang. Because online, Su Siyang had indeed acknowledged that Su Qi was his sister.

After chatting with these female college students for a bit, Su Qi made a surprising discovery. Even though her EQ wasn’t high, she could still hear that several girls had the intention of becoming her sister-in-law.

There was even a girl who publicly said she didn’t want a dowry, which made Su Qi a bit envious of her brother’s popularity with women.

Later, several more girls asked Su Qi for her brother’s WeChat ID.

Fortunately, in the past few days, because boys were always confessing to her, Su Qi had uninstalled WeChat. The group of girls could only leave in disappointment.

As for why they didn’t ask Su Qi for her brother’s phone number? That’s because Wang Zijin had returned with a sharp gaze. Under Wang Zijin’s strong aura, the girls scattered like birds and beasts.

After everyone left, Su Qi started observing her surroundings.

This was Su Qi’s first time coming backstage. After all, having always been a small transparent figure since childhood, she had never performed in any programs.

After surveying the backstage, Su Qi looked through the curtain at the overwhelming audience in front. Thinking that she had to give a speech in front of so many people later, although she had practiced many times, at this moment, Su Qi still felt very nervous and couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Wang Zijin saw Su Qi’s little action, but this time, she didn’t take any action. Because before going on stage, an appropriate sense of nervousness would produce better performance.

After the two male college students in white lab coats finished their crosstalk and left the stage, Su Qi swallowed. She knew it was her turn to go on stage next.

At this time, she saw the male college student in the white lab coat who had just walked over to her.

Seeing Su Qi’s fairy-like Hanfu, he froze for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, “I left the microphone for the next program on the stage.” This was the habit of performers to inform about the microphone’s location after each performance.

As he spoke, he pointed to the microphone stand left on the stage.

Su Qi looked and saw that it was in the position where the two had just done their crosstalk. She nodded a bit stiffly to indicate that she understood.

This male student actually knew Su Qi. He had learned a lot about Su Qi through the forum and had also bought her game.

He had originally wanted to chat with Su Qi, but seeing her nervous appearance, and the student council president staring at him like a tiger, the male student thought about it and silently walked away.

Just then, Su Qi heard Han Yixing on stage say, “Next, please welcome our principal to present Su Qi with the honor she deserves.”

This was followed by a passionate and stirring piece of music.

Su Qi swallowed. She knew it was time for her to go on stage now.

“Cheer up!” Feeling her wife patting her back and whispering encouragement, Su Qi didn’t want to lose face. She nodded, plucked up her courage, and walked out.

But as soon as she walked out from behind the curtain, all the lights in the venue went out at this moment. This was followed by a round spotlight shining on her.

Feeling herself surrounded by light, Su Qi was really flustered now, because this scene wasn’t in the script at all!

Su Qi really wanted to turn her head and look at her wife Zijin to seek some sense of security, but under the spotlight, she really couldn’t make the motion of turning her head.

Feeling countless gazes from the audience below, Su Qi, who had just overcome her social phobia a few days ago, now had a blank mind. Fortunately, before going blank, she had already given herself the command to go to the center of the stage.

Su Qi walked very stiffly, as if she had been wound up. It was only about 15 steps from backstage to the center of the stage.

The audience below discovered through the big screen that when Su Qi took the 8th step, she was so nervous that she wobbled.

However, it had to be said that with Su Qi’s appearance and the fairy-like Hanfu she was wearing today, even if she wobbled nervously, it wasn’t too incongruous and even added a bit of cuteness.

Principal Lin Xiangdong, who was already standing in the center of the stage, saw Su Qi wobbling like a duckling. On his usually serious face, a rare smile appeared.

In fact, this lighting was a last-minute change he had instructed the student in charge of lighting to add.

As the principal, Lin Xiangdong had heard feedback from many teachers during idle chats that Su Qi had been practicing her courage.

But the more one experiences, the greater one’s courage becomes. In order to better help Su Qi grow, Lin Xiangdong temporarily added this change for Su Qi.

Seeing the little girl finally walk up to him, Lin Xiangdong adjusted the microphone stand and said, “Student Su Qi… in order to commend Student Su Qi’s positive contributions and in view of her excellent academic performance, the school hereby awards her a scholarship of 50,000 yuan.”

Hearing this, many students sighed that their school was really generous, actually directly awarding as much as 50,000 yuan.

Everyone watched as Principal Lin Xiangdong handed that exaggeratedly large check to Su Qi, and they all envied her.

After all, that was 50,000 yuan.

Lin Xiangdong, who handed the check to Su Qi, continued, “So next, let’s invite our good role model, Student Su Qi, to talk about her thoughts and feelings while helping others!”

After finishing his words, Principal Lin Xiangdong clapped his hands, and then the audience below also burst into enthusiastic applause. Then he left the stage.

After the principal left, Su Qi looked at the stage in a daze, with only herself left alone. Her big eyes showed a restrained and somewhat helpless look.

At this time, everyone also withdrew their gazes from that huge check and looked at the owner holding the check with both hands.

Then they saw Su Qi’s nervous look and tense little face. Seeing this, the audience all felt nervous for her.

Su Qi, holding that huge check with both hands, took three steps and finally walked to the microphone.

At this moment, Su Qi, looking at the overwhelming crowd below, was so nervous that even her teeth were chattering.

But at this moment, some unexpected situations occurred again.

Because of Principal Lin Xiangdong’s previous speech, he had adjusted the position of the microphone very high.

It was almost level with Su Qi’s height of 163cm.

Su Qi, who wanted to give a speech, had to lower the microphone first.

But she, who didn’t have much experience on stage, how would she know how to adjust the microphone stand? She fiddled with it for more than ten seconds without successfully lowering it.

Su Qi really wanted to put the check on the ground, but felt that it wasn’t very good. She felt that her hair was sticking to her neck now and was very anxious.

But the more anxious she was, the more likely she was to make mistakes. The more anxious she was, the more flustered her hands became. Slowly, a mist even emerged in Su Qi’s big eyes due to anxiety, making her look extremely pitiful.

This scene, reflected on the big screen, made the audience below want to go up and help, afraid that Su Qi would burst into tears with a “wah.”

And backstage, Wang Zijin had long wanted to go up and help, but she was stopped by Principal Lin Xiangdong.

This microphone was intentionally adjusted high by Lin Xiangdong. His thought was to use this unexpected little episode to train Su Qi’s courage.

Fortunately, after about thirty seconds, the microphone was finally lowered by Su Qi.

As Su Qi let out a big sigh of relief, the audience who had been watching her also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su University’s speeches placed great emphasis on formality. Before and after the speech, one had to bow for 1-2 seconds.

Just when everyone thought that Su Qi would start her speech after bowing, another unexpected event occurred.

It was seen that because Su Qi was too nervous, she didn’t step back when bowing, and her little head directly hit the microphone, knocking over the microphone that she had just painstakingly adjusted. It fell over.

The microphone fell to the ground, making a piercing “ving” sound. At this moment, the director switched the shot to the fallen microphone and Su Qi, who was covering her little head with an unbelievable look in her eyes.

At this moment, the entire venue was silent. You could hear a pin drop.
