Chapter 41: Prelude to the Banquet

  Bai Rui Shao has been in the United States for a week, and Bai Rui Ya's life has returned to normal. The Tian family and the Bai family have also cancelled the marriage between Bai Rui Ya and Tian Wei Chang.

  It was soon time for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival evening party at school.

  On this day, the members of the animation club were particularly busy. Fortunately, there were no classes all day long. Xun Yanqiu arrived at school in the middle of the morning. When he came to the classroom, he found that only one classmate had arrived. Needless to say, that person was Ji Ningning.

  The two of them met and started bustling about, carrying equipment to the club room, like a couple going on a trip.

  "Ball, you said that if there was no me, you would be so miserable?" Ji Ningning held a large package in one hand and had another package on her back that was twice as big as the one in her hand. To be exact, it wasn't a package, but rather a large piece of cloth wrapped around the things needed for tonight's party. At this moment, Ji Ningning looked like a village girl coming into the city.

  Cen Yan didn't even bother to respond to her, even if he admitted it, but he would rather die than say it out loud. In fact, he was also carrying the same amount of stuff as Ji Ningning, except for a bag hanging around his neck. A man should have a masculine demeanor, and when it comes to carrying things, he must carry more than a woman, in order to fully embody his masculinity, although he had never treated Ji Ningning like a girl.

  As they went up the stairs, Ji Ningning walked ahead, turned her head back, glanced at Cen Yanqiu and couldn't help but smile smugly, "After tonight's party, will you, as the president, have any statement to make?"

  "Let's have cake!" Cen Yanqiu said languidly without even lifting his head. In fact, he had never thought of inviting everyone to eat cake, this was a strong request from his sworn brother Yang Chengyu, who had been pestering him for the past few days, saying that they would have to eat cake after the Mid-Autumn Festival party tonight. He didn't know why Yang Chengyu would suddenly become so obsessed with eating cake on Mid-Autumn Festival, when traditionally people should be eating mooncakes instead.

  Cheng Xia High School is really weird, Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a holiday, all other schools have holidays. This school is good, it only gives holidays on the second day, every year there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival evening party, and students must participate. Of course, parents are also invited, one week before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school will send an invitation letter to each child, inviting each parent to come and watch their children's performance.

  Jin Yanning and Qi Ningning finally arrived at the club classroom, room 307. Qi Ningning put down her bag and stretched, "Ah, it's not easy, my waist is almost broken..."

  "Hmph......" Cen Yanqiu also put down his things and sat on the chair beside him, unable to help but burst out laughing. "Is that a water bucket waist?"

  "Cen Yanqiu, let me tell you, even if I ate a whole cake today, ***I won't turn into a water bucket waist!" Ji Ningning couldn't help but glare at Cen Yanqiu and sat down with a huff.

  The two people who sat down began to busy themselves again, taking out clothes and props from the package and slowly sorting them out.

  It wasn't until much later that the others finally began to arrive one after another.

  "Hello everyone!"

  Haven't seen the person, but heard his voice, no need to say that it's Ge Jinghang. He appeared wearing a duck tongue hat and casual clothes, making a magnificent entrance.

  "Does everyone think I'm cool today?"

  Everyone looked at him for three seconds, "Cut..." and made a unified sound. Then they started to busy themselves with their own affairs, completely ignoring the last arrival, Ge Jinghang.

  Ge Jinghang walked in with a silly smile, looked around the classroom, but didn't see Zhou Zhanling's figure. He was somewhat surprised that on this festive day, his best friend was actually slower than him. "Hasn't that guy Zhanling arrived yet?"

  "Who says I didn't come?"

  Zhou Zhanling's voice came from behind him, Ge Jinghang hastily turned his head back, and was startled for a moment. The person in front of him, who had grown up with him since childhood (childhood sweetheart), really looked unfamiliar?

  Yes, Zhou Zhanling had arrived early. When he came, the only people in the club room were Cen Yanqiu and Ji Ningning, so he went to try on his costume for tonight's performance. No wonder Ge Jinghang was startled - when he looked in the mirror himself, he was also stunned. He wore a full BLEACH outfit, and Li Yuchen, who had learned makeup, gave him an extremely exaggerated heavy makeup look. Although the makeup was a bit too thick, it still felt very special, like something out of a 2D world. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but Zhou Zhanling's over-1.7-meter-tall figure in that outfit really did make him look like that.

  "Hmph, mph, mph..." Li Yu Chen poked his head out from behind Zhou Zhan Ling's back, his hands still waving beside him with a pleased expression, unscrupulously showing off his masterpiece. "Everyone take a look, the makeup I did on Zhan Ling, isn't it handsome? Isn't it cool?"

  Suddenly, the classroom erupted in thunderous applause, with everyone praising nonstop. Xun Yanqiu stood up and smiled: "Yucheng is really too amazing, I'll give him a thumbs-up! Let Yucheng handle the makeup for everyone else."

  "Agreed!" everyone replied in unison.

  Li Yu's sweet smile lit up the room, her eyes shining with happiness. "One by one, I guarantee that we'll finish everything before the party tonight. We're going to make a fantastic impression!"

  "Damn it!" Everyone has already entered the state.

  Fan Qianxu saw everyone's happiness and sighed, "Alas... if I don't work hard today, my parents downstairs will scold me again when they get back..."

  "Really, Dad and Mom are all coming today!" Luo Xuanjie raised his head, feeling a sense of emotion. Actually, he had been hoping for his parents to come, it could be said that he had been looking forward to it for a long time, now finally having the opportunity to show off in front of them. Usually, it was always his sister Luo Xuanling who pleased their parents the most, whether it was in terms of studying or living, he just couldn't compare with her. So there had always been some pressure on him.

  Leng Yiyang, who was standing beside him, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "My dad takes pride in me, my mom is too lazy to care about me, but they'll both be coming over today. Anyway, I don't really care."

  "It seems like both dad and mom are coming today, but..." Su Lianyu also spoke up while tidying her clothes, but it was an unfinished sentence.

  "But what?" Curious Fan Qianxu couldn't help but ask.

  "Hmm..." Lu Xuanling couldn't help but chuckle softly as she helped Ge Jinghang tidy up his clothes, "But he'd rather have someone else come over to take a look."

  "This goes without saying, it must be his girlfriend!" Zeng Xiao Hai, who had been silent the whole time, slowly raised his head from the corner, he too hoped that someone would come over, but didn't know if the person below the stage would notice him.

  Everyone was chattering about who would come to the evening party tonight, but they ignored a boy in the corner who had been keeping his head down and silent all along. He hadn't said a word from the beginning of the day until now.

  Everyone seems happy and proudly mentions their dads and moms, but Tan Shizhe slightly lowers his head, he dare not think of his dad and mom forever.

  She raised her head and looked at everyone. Even Bai Liya, who was usually quiet, said that her grandfather and mother would come over tonight.

  Tan Shizhe picked up the clothes beside him and walked out with big strides, throwing away everyone's words.
