C4 My Name Is Xuan I'm 18 This Year

Xuan was the last to enter the hall.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was very serious. Even their breathing had been suppressed.

Below the stage, the interviewing team and audience members were all looking over with their gazes, occasionally lowering their heads and whispering to each other.

"What's going on this year? I went to several schools, and the results are all getting worse every year!"

"Yeah, he's so nervous before he even started. Doesn't that mean he won't be able to say anything after a while?"

"Old Yellow, I think that student in your class is choking. His legs are trembling!"

"Isn't that one in your class different as well?"

"Sigh, there's actually no rush at all. Who doesn't know that it's already been decided? Was there anyone amongst the girls who could compete with Su Zi? There's no need to mention the boys, it's definitely Cai Zongming! "

"Su Zi is indeed not bad. Her talent and talent are both outstanding, and there's nothing to pick from the outside. Moreover, she's already a school announcer from the first year of high school. It's difficult to stop her from being re-elected!"

"Cai Ziming was also not bad, his essay was written very well. It can be seen that his literary skills are quite high, plus his looks are not bad. Also, his father is also the leader of the television station, so he will basically be selected!"

"…"

The group of people whispered to each other as they watched the performance of the fifteen people on stage.

Very quickly, the fifteen people had lined up on the platform.

According to the rules, there were a total of two stages to the interview. One was to introduce oneself, and then the questions would be announced before reciting.

The host teacher began the show with a routine. The school leaders gave their speeches, and the television station came over to give their speeches.

Soon, nearly twenty minutes passed and the interview officially began.

"Next up, every student participating in the selection will have three minutes to introduce themselves!"

After hosting the teacher's speech, the main show finally began.

"Various judges, teachers, and spectators, good afternoon. My name is Su Zi …"

Starting from the first girl with bright eyes and white teeth, the fifteen of them introduced themselves one by one.

This time, they didn't cause any trouble. After introducing themselves, the microphone was handed over to Xuan.

However, the moment he stepped forward and before he could open his mouth, the audience burst into laughter. Some of the television station staff who were in charge of the live broadcast could not help but laugh.

Compared to the fourteen people in front of him, his appearance was just too ordinary.

He was already angry, but with a smile, he decided to give it his all.

Since the self-introductions were the first segment, if he wanted to perform, he would not need to report his resume, especially since everyone was already prejudiced against him!

"It's very funny, right? Actually, I feel like it's very funny too!"

"That guy over there, you must be thinking, hey, little brother, you're so ugly, why did you come out to participate in the selection? Don't you know that the first thing you have to do as a broadcaster is to pass the test with hardware?"

"No need to shake your head. I know that you must think so!"

"What?" Why do you think I know you think that? It's very simple, because I think so too. You want to be a broadcaster despite being so ugly, isn't that what you're saying? "

"And that sister over there, right, right, the prettiest one with the camera, I can see it. Your eyes tell me that you're very lucky right now, because you found a gorgeous boyfriend, not a substandard preterm baby like me who doesn't even have proper facial features!"

"NONONONO!" "Don't shake your head, don't deny it, I can see that you think so!"

"…"

Extreme expressions and rich expressions answered their own questions, constantly mocking themselves. The moment they opened their mouth, the audience burst into laughter.

At the same time, the audience who were watching the scene on television were also laughing heartily.

"Aiyo, I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore. Where did this guy come from? Why is he so funny?" This is the first time I've realized that I can do this even after I introduce myself! "

"You're laughing so hard. Did you say that to yourself? It's as if your head has been smacked by an ox, your facial features are not straight again, and you're still a preterm infant with substandard features. Where did all these weird words come from?"

"No, no, I have to go away and laugh for a while. This guy's expression is so good. Every time he stares at me in a serious manner, he jabs my laughing point. I feel like my laughing point is dropping!"

"This guy is really noisy. In my opinion, even the Spring Festival Gala crosstalk actors aren't as good as him." Did you see that, the people he pointed to were all scared stiff by him! "

"This kid is really interesting, but then again, it doesn't matter if he looks ugly. Your brother is also ugly. After finishing university, he had not even served as a spare tire before. Now, isn't his annual salary one million yuan? Is he married to a school beauty? "

"…"

In front of the television, those who had accidentally witnessed this scene broke out in laughter. Not long after, everything quieted down as they stared at the television screen expectantly.

On the screen, Xuan was silent.

It was clearly only a few seconds, but in the eyes of others, it seemed like a very, very long time had passed.

"What will happen next?"

"Why isn't he talking?"

"He looks so sad. Is he going to play the Trump Card?"

Everyone silently thought, an unprecedented feeling of anticipation filling their hearts.

At this moment, the smart cameraman started to give Xuan a close-up of his face.

Xuan lowered his head and closed his eyes. He looked in pain, as if he was struggling internally.

For some reason, when the crowd saw that face, they felt their hearts clench. It was as if they could hear a shout coming from the stormy sea where lightning was wreaking havoc.

"Why? "Why should you discriminate against me?"

"On what basis? "Why are you so unfair when you don't look good?"

"It's not my fault, it's not!"

"…"

Time came to a standstill of ten seconds and the scene was frozen for ten seconds. However, the hearts of countless people had suffered thousands of years of shock.

In their minds, the high school students on that stage must have been screaming in anger.

But unfortunately, everyone was wrong.

After a long wait, Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and said in a daze. "Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night. What did I say?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Damn, what a twist!"

"This brat, he is too unreasonable, causing this bro's heart to be stuck for so long!"

"This act is interesting. I'm sure he did it on purpose."

"What a wicked person. Looking at how conflicted he is, I thought that he was definitely having a tumult in his heart and that he would give birth to a violent storm. In the end, I fell for a trick and fell for the blood of a high school student!"

"F * ck, I don't believe in love anymore!"

"F * * k, this is interesting. No way, I have to go downstairs and buy a bag of peanuts as well as a bottle of beer. That's the way to drink beer!"

"…"

After a short period of shock, laughter burst out in front of the television set, followed by a flurry of curses and curses.

"It seems like you guys don't know either, but I remember now. I think I'm going to introduce myself." Xuan wasn't surprised to see no one reminding him.

Hearing those words, everyone fell silent.

After talking for so long, this fellow was finally about to get into the main topic. Speaking of which, it seemed like he really didn't know his name!

"I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. According to the convention, I should tell everyone my name, tell everyone about my experience, talk about some lofty ideals and such."

"But …"

Xuan paused as he spoke. "I don't think this is going to be interesting. Why don't I tell everyone a story first?"

Story?

The crowd was stunned. This kind of storytelling seemed a little new.

The main examiner, Liu Yuan was about to refuse, but when he saw Cai Zongming's look, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly changed. "You can tell a story, but it will only take two minutes. Please make the best use of it, student."

With that said, the scene quickly became quiet.

Xuan thanked him, cleared his throat, and began a simple story.

"The sun is warm, and Mother Duck lies in her nest, waiting for her child to be born.

Duckling after duckling came out of the eggshell, leaving only a particularly large egg. After a few days, the egg slowly split open, and a big, ugly duck came out.

"His hair is gray, his mouth is big, and his body is thin …"

It was a simple but calm beginning, filled with the smell of sunlight and grass. The moment they opened their mouths, it was as if they had arrived at that warm, sunny spring.

The story was very simple. It was just a story of an ugly duckling growing into a white swan.

However, for those who were paying attention to this story, it was simply too new and unheard-of.

The ugly duckling was a story that every primary school student was familiar with. However, a thousand years later, it would become a legend. No one had ever heard of it before.

Xuan didn't remember what was written in the textbook. He used his understanding to tell the story, going up and down.

A few hundred words took less than two minutes.

For two minutes, emotions rose and fell with his voice.

Birth inferiority, the pain of growing up, the grievance of encountering setbacks, all kinds of accumulations of the heart. In the end, when the ugly duckling saw the reflection of the beautiful swan in the lake, with a "boom", all of the accumulated emotions exploded.

At that moment, everyone's eyes filled with tears!

At that moment, everyone felt as if wisps of sunshine had sprinkled down from the cloudy sky. The world was so warm and peaceful!

While everyone was immersed in the story, Xuan had already prepared to end the show.

"Today, I am an ugly duckling. Tomorrow, I will become the most beautiful white swan! My name is Xuan. I'm 18 this year. Thank you! "

Simple and straightforward!

Without any superfluous words, the ending caught everyone off guard!

Before they could finish, Xuan handed over the microphone.

For a moment, the classroom was quiet.

Suddenly.

Splash —

It was unknown who started it, but a lot of applause kept coming.
