The next day marked the final event of University Week, and excitement buzzed through the campus.
While various activities still took place throughout the day, everyone knew that the real highlight was the upcoming pageant—the event that had the entire student body talking.
It was set to begin at 5 p.m., and by then, the university's massive gymnasium was nearly packed.
Students flooded the bleachers, waving signs and light sticks, proudly cheering for their respective candidates.
Some had gone all out, even wearing coordinated colors to support their college representatives.
Jiang Yue had arrived early, making her way inside the venue well before the event started.
She wasn't the type to usually get involved in events like this, but tonight was an exception.
From her spot near the front, Jiang Yue took in the scene—bright stage lights, a decorated runway leading into the audience, and a massive LED screen flashing the names of the participants.
