Their performance was scheduled to go on after the next act. After Xu Qingfan communicated with the stage manager, he returned to join Xiao Ruawen and the others.
Xiao Ruawen still held the hand-copied lyrics, worried about forgetting the words on stage, she was cramming at the last minute.

"Why is everyone so quiet? Come on, let's get hyped! Our song is original, even if we hit a wrong note or sing the wrong lyrics, the teachers and students won't notice."
Xu Qingfan pulled Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang up from their chairs, encouraging them to relax.
"Not nervous, just a bit cold in the wind." Wu Shichong wrapped his coat tighter, still acting tough.
"Get hyped!" Lai Chenglang did some high knee lifts in place, accidentally or intentionally kicking Wu Shichong's pants.
