The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 101: If We Don’t Go Crazy Now, Our Youth Will Be Wasted
Chapter 101: Chapter 101: If We Don’t Go Crazy Now, Our Youth Will Be Wasted
The next morning, the "Wonderful" opening performance of the "Qingmei" milk tea shop commenced as scheduled.
The audience was more numerous than Lin Shuang had imagined.
He peeked out from backstage and thought, "University students really do have lots of free time!"
The stage was set up right in front of the milk tea shop. The small stage was now almost completely surrounded by a dense crowd of college students.
This level of crowding was a claustrophobic’s paradise.
Lingmeng rested her hand on her forehead and looked out, "Why are there quite a few elderly grandpas and grandmas too?"
"That indicates our milk tea is suitable for all ages."
In fact, it might just be that the elderly out for their morning walks saw the crowd here and thought there was something to collect...
They will indeed get some free milk tea.
Everyone prepared lots of milk tea early in the morning, fearing there might not be enough hands on the first day, so Lin Shuang grabbed a few students to work as temporary help.
It turned out to be a very foresighted decision.
They were originally supposed to get overtime pay, but the students all said a meal would be fine. During student days, things are still relatively simple.
Lin Shuang asked everyone with a smile, "It’s time to go on stage, are you all ready?"
Fu Wenxue, already in her costume, raised Yang Deyou’s hand, the little Monster, "We’re ready."
She seemed eager to take to the stage and beat up the little Monster.
Of course, Yang Deyou, who was playing the Monster, also had a look on his face that seemed to beg for a beating.
As they say, it’s a case of one willing to fight and another willing to be beaten...
The two had already walked to the side to wait their turn.
Su Wan was tuning the electronic keyboard on the stage.
Just Lin Shuang and Lingmeng were left backstage.
"Ah, I’m suddenly feeling quite nervous with so many people out there."
Lingmeng, dressed in a sailor outfit, fanned herself with her hands.
"There’s no option to flee the battle now, right?"
"Not that I was planning on fleeing."
Lingmeng rubbed her hands together in prayer, "Boss, could you give everyone a bit of encouragement~"
Lin Shuang picked up a squid plushie, "You, Magic Girl, want me to encourage you with tentacles again, don’t you?"
The Magic Girl threatened by tentacles, shivered with her hands crossed in front of her flat chest, "No~ Boss~"
"...Your tone really seems like you’re asking for a speed buff for the tentacles."
"Scumbag boss! Pervert!"
Alright, alright, that’s quite refreshing.
Lin Shuang walked onto the stage with a grin, holding a microphone.
Su Wan sat dressed in everyday clothes by the electronic keyboard.
Though it was a performance, everyone dressed quite casually.
After all, what will soon take place on stage is a chaotic battle between Magic Girl, mother of Ultraman, and monsters... It would be too bizarre if one were to sit aside in a fancy gown performing.
Although, this is already an odd performance.
But since the performers and the audience are mainly college students, it seemed quite fitting.
Where are the college students who don’t act crazy?
If you don’t go crazy, your youth is wasted.
Once you graduate, it’s hard to find another chance to be wild.
If you never go crazy, when one day you look back on your youth amidst the daily grind and the 996 work culture, you might not even find a single anchor in your memories.
However, Lin Shuang doesn’t need to worry about that.
He exchanged a smile with Su Wan.
Wanwan is always there to join him in a bit of madness.
He took the microphone and announced the start of this somewhat crazy and wild performance.
Then she sat next to Su Wan, strumming her guitar to accompany Su Wan’s electronic keyboard.
Her electronic keyboard had two tiers, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a synthesizer, as it could not only produce the sound of a piano but also mimic various other musical instruments.
Lin Shuang was singing "Miracles Happen Again" when Yang Deyou, playing the Monster, and Fu Wenxue, playing the mother of Ultraman, made their entrance.
The college students below the stage immediately erupted into cheers.
The whole audience sang in chorus, "A new storm has already appeared, how can we remain stagnant~"
The performance continued smoothly.
But there was a little interlude in the middle.
When the plot had advanced to the point where the Monster played by Yang Deyou was about to be defeated, and Lin Shuang approached with squid tentacles, preparing to perform a ritual of corruption on Lingmeng, the Magic Girl.
Another uninvited guest followed Lin Shuang onto the stage.
This person had a bulky frame and an aggressive stance as he walked onto the stage, challenging in appearance.
But the audience didn’t realize anything was amiss, as the previous plot had already been abstract enough. Whatever strange twist occurred, the audience thought it was part of the scripted plan.
The bulky man said, "Kiddo, opening a new milk tea shop with such fanfare, don’t you think that’s a bit inappropriate?"
He laughed with some disdain, "There are so many milk tea shops on this street, we all need to make money together."
The Magic Girl, Lingmeng, who was preparing for corruption, looked a little confused.
However, Lin Shuang immediately understood what this was about.
Local ruffians brought in by competitors to cause trouble! Truly a classic domestic drama plot.
Direct confrontation during their performance was intended to embarrass them.
Lingmeng whispered, "Boss, there’s no such scene in the script, is there? What’s going on?"
Lin Shuang cracked a smile, "This is an extra scene I’ve improvised for you, my apprentice. Use the power of the Magic Girl to defeat him, good apprentice."
Lingmeng nodded vigorously and shook her little fist, "Yes, Master!"
Now it was the turn of the bulky hooligan to be baffled, "What are you talking about? I am talking to you, can’t you hear me? You guys are quite clueless..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when Lingmeng began to recite her lines.
"I am the warrior of love and justice! In the name of the moon, I will eliminate you!"
Then Lingmeng punched the bulky hooligan off the stage!
The audience below immediately burst into an exclamation.
"Did you see that? That’s the power of the Magic Girl!"
"That’s Sailor Moon, you blockhead! Fake fan!"
"It’s fake, right? How could that big guy be knocked away by a punch! Special effects! It’s all special effects!"
Lin Shuang spread his hands, "What do you mean ’clueless’? My excellent apprentice is quite sensible."
The bulky hooligan wasn’t alone in causing trouble; several of his accomplices were under the stage.
Seeing their leader beaten and knocked down, they were all ready to surge onto the stage.
But Meng Qingming, leading a large group of student council members, made an appearance!
Meng Qingming was originally there to support Boss Lin Shuang.
Upon encountering such a disturbance, the student council members, who were always good at maintaining order, naturally stepped up.
The student council members promptly got into a scuffle with the hooligans.
The hooligans were big, but the student council had numbers.
The audience was still out of the loop, thinking this too was part of the performance.
In his heart, Lin Shuang thought he would have to reward Meng Qingming, this excellent employee, with an extra chicken leg!
He took the microphone and laughed, "Everyone, no need to worry, this is also a part of our scripted sequence. Just enjoy the show."
In any case... the performance on stage continued, with the Magic Girl, the Monster, and the mother of Ultraman still in fierce battle.
Below the stage was also lively, with the student council and the hooligans fighting inseparably.
The audience too was enjoying themselves.
Everyone seemed to be in good spirits.
