Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 206 Freshman Representative: Ye Fan

Even Li Yifeng, Shi Kai, and Ji Yuhao, the three young men from dormitory 208, unusually put away their playful smiles and were ignited by the principal's words.

Li Yifeng couldn't help but whisper to the two people next to him, "Damn, Old Wu's got some serious energy!"

Then they began searching for Ye Fan.

What the hell is the school anniversary celebration?

"Hey? Where's Fan Zi?" Ji Yuhao craned his neck. "He's still saving this spot next to me!"

"Yeah, it's such an important school anniversary celebration, where is he?" Shi Kai also looked puzzled. "I didn't see him in the dorm just now."

Li Yifeng chuckled mischievously, "Could it be that he ate some Hua Moushi and is currently undergoing his 'Splatoon' ultimate training in the bathroom?"

The three exchanged knowing glances, suppressing their mischievous smiles, their eyes still scanning the crowd for that familiar figure.

Just then, the stage lights changed again.

Two outstanding third-year students majoring in broadcasting and hosting, dressed in formal attire, stepped onto the stage.

With clear, resonant voices and overflowing passion, they reviewed the glorious history of Nanjing University and expressed a warm welcome to the new students. Their words were beautiful and their emotions were high.

"A century-old institution, its spirit passed down through generations; the power of youth converges here!" The female host's voice was clear and passionate. "On this auspicious occasion, we believe that every student of Nanjing University will write their own brilliant chapter here!"

The male host then took over, his voice loud and powerful: "And today, we are very honored to have invited a special freshman representative. He is one of the best among our 2014 freshmen, carrying the dreams and responsibilities of the new generation of Nanjing University students! Next—"

He paused deliberately, glanced at the audience, raised his voice, and announced clearly, "Let us give a warm round of applause to Ye Fan, the representative of the 2014 freshmen, to come to the stage and give a speech!"

"puff--!!!"

The students in the front row felt a chill run down their spines!

All you could see were the three kids from dormitory 208, Li Yifeng, Shi Kai, and Ji Yuhao, simultaneously spitting out the water they had just drunk!

Fortunately, they lowered their heads, otherwise the students in the front row would have suffered an undeserved disaster!

I thought he went to take a dump, but it turns out he was giving a speech on stage.

As soon as the two hosts announced Ye Fan's name, the audience erupted in a commotion, whispering amongst themselves.

Among the students of a certain college, one figure stood out even in the dense crowd.

Pei Yi'an had a tall and straight figure and a cool and aloof temperament, like a secluded orchid that stood alone in the world.

When she heard Ye Fan's name come from the stage, she slightly raised her calm eyes and looked into the depths of the stage where the lights were focused. A hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, but her face remained calm and composed, as if she was not surprised.

Her roommates, however, reacted quite differently.

"Wow! Ye Fan! Is it the Ye Fan we know? That handsome guy?" Gu Ruolin excitedly grabbed Zhou Xuefei's arm, her eyes instantly sparkling, turning into a lovesick fan.

"Definitely! Oh my god! He's the freshman representative! That's amazing!" Zhou Xuefei excitedly stood on tiptoe, straining to see the stage. "So handsome! His speech must be super cool too! But thinking about it, it makes sense, he's the top scorer!"

Only her other roommate, Zhao Peilan, looked extremely pale.

She stared intently at the stage, her lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes a complex mix of jealousy, disdain, and a hint of annoyance.

During the last military training, she misunderstood Ye Fan's flirting with Pei Yi'an and spoke ill of him. As a result, Pei Yi'an reprimanded her mercilessly and then ignored her.

This filled her with inexplicable hostility towards Ye Fan.

Hearing that Ye Fan had become the most illustrious freshman representative, her resentment and bitterness surged up, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

In another academy's formation, Tang Yanning also looked at Ye Fan on the stage with a smile.

At this moment of great attention and discussion, a tall and upright figure calmly walked onto the stage.

The spotlight instantly focused on him, illuminating his young yet remarkably composed face.

It was Ye Fan!

Ye Fan stood in front of the microphone, scanning the dark, seemingly endless crowd below the stage.

Tens of thousands of eyes were focused on him as if they were real.

He expected to be somewhat nervous, with his heart racing and his palms sweating.

But at this moment, a strange calm enveloped him, as if he were standing in the eye of a storm, yet his heart remained undisturbed.

He calmly adjusted the microphone stand in front of him to a more comfortable height, then spoke clearly and steadily into the microphone: "Hello everyone, my name is Ye Fan."

This opening line alone made Principal Wu Yunze, who was sitting in the VIP section in the front row, feel a jolt in his heart!

A sense of foreboding instantly gripped him!

He knows this student too well!

The conversation in the office on the day of registration gave him a deep understanding of Ye Fan's unconventionality and lack of restraint.

Just to be on the safe side, he personally reviewed Ye Fan's prepared speech before the celebration began, confirming that it was a standard, official template.

But now... Ye Fan's hands are empty, where would he find any manuscript?

Wu Yunze felt his blood pressure soaring, and his back was sweating slightly.

Old Wu was completely numb!

Ye Fan's voice continued to echo across the playground, carrying an almost straightforward sincerity: "As is customary, I should first give a detailed self-introduction, then thank all the leaders and teachers for their cultivation and trust, and finally express how honored and excited I am to stand here as a representative of the new students."

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping across the audience, a faint, self-deprecating smile playing on his lips: "An honor, indeed an honor. But excitement? Happiness?"

He shook his head, his tone resolute: "I'm sorry, but I really can't be happy at all. There are just too many students and teachers here today. And me, actually..."

He paused again, as if searching for the most precise word, and then clearly uttered two words: "social anxiety."

Social anxiety?

These two words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up ripples of surprise and doubt among the dense crowd below the stage.

Countless young faces were filled with confusion and curiosity.

This word is so unfamiliar!

What does that mean?

Ye Fan seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction, and then explained, "The term 'social anxiety' is a precise term that I specifically researched based on my own personality. I call it 'social phobia' in full."

After a brief silence, the entire playground erupted in deafening laughter!
