Doppel-Box-Schallplatte - Kapitel 27
In the distance, Yu Xuan walked over, revealing a dashing smile, and asked, "Ru Feng, why do you think so many women came today?"
Ru Feng glanced casually at the sidelines and, sure enough, many women had arrived—some were from noble families, some were from modest backgrounds, and many were ordinary women.
Ru Feng was even more energetic: "You don't understand this? Don't you know? Every year, the competition between Fengxian Academy and Luolin Academy attracts a huge crowd. If you stand out here, you'll probably receive an invitation from a wealthy family soon, and sometimes it even leads to many marriages. You know, the students who study at these two academies are all talented or wealthy, with limitless futures, so many people take the opportunity to choose their sons-in-law. So, if you want to have good luck with romance today, you'd better perform well!"
Yu Xuan frowned, then suddenly realized: "No wonder you got up so early this morning and paid more attention to your appearance than usual."
"Hmph, I didn't have that intention. I just wanted to make myself happy." Ru Feng said casually, glancing around, then her expression changed.
Yu Jue noticed and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
As soon as Feng Jianyun Tianze approached, he quickly snatched his white jade fan to cover his face, then said with lingering fear, "Oh no, I just saw Bai Shaojun's cousin. She came to my house to propose marriage before, but my grandfather refused. She also saw me just now."
The three of them laughed. Yu Jue said with a smile, "So you're afraid of this kind of thing? Aren't you very happy to do this kind of thing?"
Volume 1, Chapter 51: Cheerleading - A Young Man's Unfamiliarity with Love
Finally, after the opening ceremony, the competition officially began. Due to the large number of events, the competition was divided into three days, and the schedule was posted on a bulletin board in a corner of the square. Next to the bulletin board were the names of various sponsors, including Hanshan's "Shiweitian Medicinal Cuisine Restaurant." Of course, this was the result of Rufeng's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
At this moment, Hanshan and Zuiyue also followed behind Rufeng to help.
"Senior brother, senior brother, how did you come up with this opening ceremony? It's so much fun! And the music is really nice too." Han Shan quickened his pace to catch up with Ru Feng, praising it repeatedly.
Indeed, today's opening ceremony was refreshing for everyone. First, the weather was good; second, the format was novel, something the Violet Kingdom had never done before; third, all the athletes present were young men, many of whom were handsome, captivating the hearts of many girls; fourth, it was the first time the students from the other six academies had participated as a group; fifth, everyone wanted to see whether Fengxian Academy or Luolin Academy was more powerful, since in the past, when the two academies competed, very few people could attend the matches, but now, apart from the opening ceremony seats which cost a little money, the matches were free to watch; sixth, it was said that many new events had been added today, and everyone came to watch out of curiosity.
To Ru Feng's dismay, a significant portion of the participants were middle-aged. Initially, Ru Feng didn't understand, but later, during the men's 1000-meter race, a middle-aged man dressed in fine silk joined the group of young people in shouting, "Go, son! Go, son!"
It was only then that Ru Feng realized that some parents had even come all the way from their homes to cheer on their children.
"Headmaster, Headmaster," just as Ru Feng was about to answer Han Shan's question, a young man in a blue robe ran over. Today, all the young men wearing blue robes with the logo of a certain cloth shop printed on them and white headscarves were etiquette team members and service personnel sent by Fengxian Academy.
The so-called etiquette team members are those who specifically guide leaders to their seats during the opening or closing ceremonies. The service personnel, on the other hand, are the vendors. Of course, they all wear two hats. Some of these people come from poor families and are enrolled in the academy for free; Ru Feng could be categorized as one of these, because although she comes from a prestigious family, her family is genuinely poor. The second type are those who don't participate in any competitions—either physically weak or lacking the necessary qualifications—so Ru Feng recruited them for this role.
Of course, Ru Feng will pay them, since they also have to put in the labor.
Selling things? Don't think it's impossible. Others might not have thought of it, but Ru Feng had. Ordinary vendors wouldn't dare to sell things at a famous "holy place" of study like Fengxian Academy. But this sports meet is different. There are so many people, and it's hot. Everyone needs to drink water, right? And some people who are running around must be hungry, right?
So Ru Feng set up four stalls in the woods surrounding the square, selling boiled water, herbal tea, steamed buns, and other miscellaneous items. And let me tell you, business was really good; the costs were low, but there were tons of customers.
"What's wrong?" Ru Feng asked with a smile, fanning him.
"Manager, I really can't take it anymore. Could you go over there? There are so many women asking about you at our herbal tea stall, it's seriously disrupting our work. I've looked around, and it's the same at the other stalls." The young man was sweating profusely, his face flushed red.
As Ru Feng gazed intently, sure enough, a large group of young girls stood in front of a herbal tea stall not far away, their clothes brightly colored. When they saw Ru Feng looking at them, they all lowered their heads shyly, then looked up again, then gave him a flirtatious wink, then lowered their heads again, repeating this endlessly.
Ru Feng's eyes twitched, but he still managed a wide, six-toothed smile. The smile accentuated his handsome features, his red lips and white teeth, and his large, round, dark eyes, which, while slightly effeminate, turned into crescent moons when he smiled. The fan he held further enhanced his dashing and debonair appearance, making him stand out from the crowd. This smile immediately caused many young girls to clutch their chests, leaning against their maids as if to faint, and a few even collapsed from the excitement!
Actually, Han Shan, who was next to Ru Feng, was also quite handsome and taller than Ru Feng, but Ru Feng was a whole level above Han Shan in terms of temperament and aura.
Han Shan stared wide-eyed at Ru Feng, his eyes filled with admiration: "Senior brother, you're amazing!"
Ru Feng folded her fan and tapped him: "What nonsense are you spouting? Are you joining in the commotion?"
Zuiyue chuckled to herself. If she hadn't known her senior brother was a woman, she might have been fooled too. However, she turned around and found that all the women were looking at her with hostility. Startled, she quickly asked, "Senior brother, why are they looking at me like that?"
Ru Feng hurriedly looked over, only to find that they were all still shy and timid.
Zuiyue sensed something was wrong: "Senior brother, their taste is truly terrifying!"
Yu Xuan, who appeared out of nowhere, said with a grin, "Hehe, junior sister, they're jealous of you. If you don't stay away from your senior brother, you'll be torn to pieces!"
Zuiyue was also a quick-witted person, and she understood immediately. So she covered her mouth and laughed, "Senior brother, then I won't follow you today. I'll go see how Aunt Lan is doing." Aunt Lan was a new chef at Fengxian Academy. She made pretty good dishes, and she was in charge of making the buns and the like this time.
Ru Feng smiled and nodded in agreement. Yu Xuan, with a mischievous grin on his face, leaned casually against Ru Feng.
"Shorty, why is it that even though I'm so handsome, I don't have as many admirers as you?"
Ru Feng curled her lips and pushed him away: "You're so popular in the brothel, why are you still bothered by these things? Besides, I believe that as long as you reveal your identity, you'll attract a bunch of butterflies, won't you?" In fact, ever since that trip to the Fanxian Pavilion, Yu Xuan had been going to the brothel every few days, and every night he would come back smelling of rouge. Moreover, this guy even argued that he went to admire the flowers, but he didn't pick any flowers.
"Me? What good identity do I have to show off? I'm just the son of a minor official." Yu Xuan leaned closer again, unwilling to give up.
Although Ru Feng didn't believe him, she didn't argue with him. She simply stepped aside and said, "Alright, alright, if you keep going like this, by tomorrow people will be saying we have some kind of homosexual relationship."
After thinking for a moment, Ru Feng suddenly said, "Han Shan, you should go with Zui Yue. There are too many people today."
Han Shan was initially confused, but upon glancing at Zui Yue's figure, he noticed several men secretly observing her. He quickly nodded and followed after them.
As Yu Xuan was speaking, the young man timidly interrupted, "Headmaster, you still haven't told me how to do it?"
Ru Feng then said, "Just tell them that I like gentle, considerate, and reserved women."
Sure enough, after the young man went back and gave a speech, those women who considered themselves "gentle and considerate" obediently stepped aside, but Ru Feng was still under their scrutinizing gazes.
Even with his thick skin, Ru Feng couldn't resist the covetous eyes of so many women, so he dragged Yu Xuan along to watch the match.
"Hey shorty, you really stole the show today!" Ru Feng was looking for Yu Jue when Yu Xuan laughed heartily from the side.
"Likewise!" Ru Feng said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Indeed, Ru Feng was the most eye-catching one today. First of all, she was the head of Fengxian Academy. Ignoring her family background, her exceptional organizational skills alone had already attracted attention from all sides, not to mention her beautiful face and gentle smile. So it was no surprise that the women present were captivated by Ru Feng.
At the same time, Yujue and his two companions also attracted attention from all sides because of their different temperaments and faces!
"Yuxuan, why are women these days so bold? Why do they all appear in groups?" Rufeng wondered, she thought women in ancient times were very conservative.
The two weaved through the crowd, constantly hearing shouts of "Go for it!" from the crowd; it was truly a lively scene.
