The following activities were nothing special, but then Maya Mitchell ended up getting picked, and she was paired with a male student to recite a poem together.
The two of them tried their best to recite the poem, barely managing to pass the task.
It was the male student who recited the last line of the poem. As soon as he finished, Maya quickly reached out and picked three cards without any hesitation. Then, with a slightly apologetic smile, she said to the male student, “Sorry, you should have picked one too. Do you want me to put it back, and you pick again?”
Being a gentleman, the young man said, “No problem, let’s just leave it like this, and see who the next male-female pair is.”
Maya immediately opened the cards, and the male student, holding the microphone, read out loud, “Ruby Gregory, Edric Reat, sing a duet of ‘You Are the Song in My Heart’.”
Edric originally had his head turned to the side, talking quietly with the student next to him, with a faint smile on his face. When he heard the announcement, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at Ruby.
Ruby’s face looked a little unnatural, and her fingers gripped her glass of alcohol tightly, showing no inclination to stand up.
Edric also sat still, not getting up.
After waiting for a while, seeing Ruby and Edric not getting up, someone called out, “Ruby Gregory? Edric Reat? It’s your turn!”
“Yeah, you guys should hurry up. It’s just a song, compared to those tasks before, this is a piece of cake for you.”
Ruby remained still, sitting beside Steve Burton, as if she had not heard everyone urging her on.
Edric closed his eyes for a moment, then put down his glass of alcohol on the table and slowly stood up. Amid the cheers, he walked to the front of the marble table.
“Wait, we’re still missing someone, where’s Ruby Gregory?”
“Ruby Gregory?”
With everyone asking, many eyes turned toward Ruby.
Ruby’s grip on the glass tightened even more.
Two female classmates who had been more acquainted with Ruby in the past couldn’t help but run over to her, trying to pull her up forcefully from her seat.
“Ruby Gregory, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you.”
“Yeah, hurry up, hurry up…” freёwebnoѵel.com
Edric watched as Ruby was pulled up forcefully, his eyes slightly shifted, then he smiled and spoke softly, his voice gentle and unruffled, “I’m not sure about that song, the lyrics and melody are quite old, and I’ve mostly forgotten them. How about I sing a different song for everyone, and later Ruby can sing one of her favorites? This way, everyone gets to listen to two songs.”
“Edric, you’re obviously trying to cheat us. What’s the point of dividing it into two separate songs when we wanted a duet?”
“Yeah, hurry up, stop stalling. If you don’t sing, each of you has to drink three glasses of alcohol as punishment. Accept the challenge!”
“Come on, you guys used to sing together all the time, what’s the big deal now?”
