Section 1

As it approached around 11 o'clock, Miao Miao and she had been quite leisurely for a long time, chatting across a cash register.

Yes, so it is an engagement, and we will obtain the marriage certificate when we reach the legal marriage age next year

Even Zhou Qingchen said: "Children speak without reservation, I was the one who strongly recommended you to host, why do you feel completely like a novice, even your voice sounds hoarse..." She helplessly covered her face with the script, her voice trembling as she said: "I need to relieve my stress, just thinking about having to bear double the responsibility makes me anxious"

Today, due to the heavy rain, there are not many people in the market

Fortunately, Du Banpai did not insist any further

This is not right, Tong Yan, this trend of yours is very dangerous

Due to the significance of the school anniversary, most of the programs were eliminated, and many performances by the school bands were added

She stared at the small line of text, pondering for a long time without replying

... ...

Indeed, because she is too thin, her back is densely adorned with more than ten silver pins, used to secure the cinched waist

The mention of these things makes her heart bleed

During the first rehearsal, Tong Yan completely lost control

The warm palms, a familiar sensation ... She dared not even breathe, let alone turn back to look at him

Like those actors, she wore a formal gown borrowed from the student council over her jeans. Since the chosen gown was particularly long, she had no choice but to put on high heels early on.

"Children speak without restraint. In order to support you and Miss Gu, we even have classes on Saturday." "Yanyan, the good things should not flow to outsiders; this is our family tradition." "Tong Wujie, do you know how to write 'jealousy'? Please look at my expression..."

Whenever it was necessary for him to speak, she would glance at him in advance, finishing the last two sentences, so that he could smoothly take over the conversation

Marriage

She continued to feel dazed, greeting the handsome guy with the crossbody bag and the *illustrated* book, incredulously asking, "Are you really getting married? At nineteen?"

As she was tidying up her things in preparation for lunch, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. When she looked up, the person she saw was completely unexpected.

The child nodded. How embarrassing

Whenever physics is mentioned, Tongyan will no longer smile

Because of this dress, she was somewhat distracted the entire afternoon

On Sunday morning, she was undoubtedly late

Like cool and refreshing spring water

While squeezed in the subway at night, she finally remembered that she had not yet expressed her gratitude. She struggled to take out her phone from her backpack and sent him a text message: Thank you, Teacher Gu.

Due to the rescheduling of international commercial arbitration classes before the National Day holiday, Gu Ping Sheng will have rehearsals again this week. A total of six commercial arbitration classes have been moved to the evening, from Monday to Saturday, starting at 8 PM and ending at 10 PM

What was most surprising was that she placed a paper bag on the counter and unexpectedly took out a royal blue evening gown: "This is what I wore at my graduation ceremony from King's College. TK said our figures are quite similar, so she asked me to send it to you to try on."

"Do you want me to accompany you to the restroom to change and see how it fits?" Gu Pingfan smiled at her

In the earphones, Zhou Qingchen was calling her, "go"

Two people walked to the back of the stage, standing behind a huge curtain, looking at the two or three rows of school leaders below. Tong Yan suddenly became nervous. Her heart began to race faster, and her palms started to feel warm. She instinctively glanced at Gu Ping Sheng, and in the dim light, he seemed to sense her unease and lowered his head to look at her: "Nervous?"

How could one mind it

The most shocking moment was the first time, when the two of them entered the classroom one after the other, even Shen Yao's mouth formed an O shape. As soon as Tong Yan sat down, she immediately leaned in to whisper: "Tong Yan, you can't be so blatant about it, the whole class is waiting for the two of you."

The children have been rehearsing every day, and they are already exhausted. They are too lazy to pay attention to this group of people and have completely laid down on the table to listen to the class

She and Gu Pingsheng were sitting in the organizer's lounge, and people kept rushing in in a panic, immediately apologizing in a flurry before hurriedly exiting. The two found it amusing and exchanged a glance.

During the previous informal rehearsals, she and he developed a tacit understanding

She explained with frustration: "There are nineteen people in our class, and only our dormitory has a background in the humanities. The rest of them actually scored higher in the college entrance examination than those in other majors; they were all transferred from biological engineering to the law school." She seemed to notice Gu Ping's interest and continued, "Look at our class leader; he scores above 95 in all exams, and he got full marks in advanced mathematics and physics, right? He is from Chengdu, Sichuan, and his score was third in the entire province, and it is said that he didn't even perform well..."

I am going to get engaged," Miao Miao suddenly looked at her mysteriously, "You don't need to give me a red envelope, just a fragrant kiss will do." Tong Yan looked at her in surprise: "How old are you? I remember you are only nineteen, right?"

Fortunately, Miao Miao had been holding up the cash register for her. When she saw her rush in, the first thing she said was: "Tong Yan, hurry, I have been telling the manager that you went to the restroom because you had diarrhea."

Soon, a text message came back: It's okay. I remember that the ordinary dress you wore was a royal blue, which should complement your skin tone. As for the money, there's no rush. TK

Compared to these individuals, it is estimated that one has already lost at the starting line in elementary school

Or, perhaps Teacher Gu is simply afraid of rejecting herself, which is why she specifically brought the old one

Tong Yan glared at her fiercely and said, "How about we switch places?"

With a soft chime, the station announcement began in the subway speakers, and she suddenly came to her senses

Every time she looked helplessly at Gu Pingsheng, she could see him smile noticeably, and then quickly cover up his mistake. His voice sounded as if it had been professionally trained, completely different from his usual lecturing tone. It was very clear and somewhat low

Thus, two individuals with vastly different life goals regarded each other as monsters, bringing this conversation to an end

She heard the opening music play, took a deep breath, and reminded herself not to be nervous, it was just over twenty school leaders... She silently recited her usual positive affirmations, thinking that the audience was just a bunch of big winter melons, who could only grin like big winter melons

"No need, thank you." The child hurriedly expressed gratitude several times, finding it somewhat difficult to handle such a situation

Gu Meiren's performance was so outstanding that it highlighted her shortcomings even more

The child, feeling a bit dazed, pointed at a tall boy, around 1.9 meters, at the door and said: "Look, he has arrived."

Tong Yan was basically stunned, and Gu Pingfan smiled slightly and said: "It's old, don't mind it, I've only worn it once."

In summary, this matter has become increasingly complex

The evening gowns of the student council are mostly private property left behind by former hosts who have graduated, and they are mostly in the original owner's size. It is not just a child's play; anyone who receives a dress is accustomed to this situation.

Or rather, it is not knowing how to respond

After five words, she felt she should say something more, and immediately added: I received my salary for this month today, can I return five hundred to you tomorrow?

When Miaomiao returned from her meal, she saw a paper bag placed at her feet. Curiously, she took a glance inside and was immediately filled with frustration: "This is definitely more beautiful than the dress I bought for my engagement. Did you buy it on the wedding dress street in Suzhou? Or do you have any other good recommendations?"

Gu Ping Sheng suddenly said: "I looked at the physics scores of your class, and it seems that only your dormitory's results are not very good?"

The music in my ears gradually faded away, and soon, the strength in my hands relaxed. Gu Pingsheng's voice said: "It's alright, I am here. If you forget the lyrics, just look at me."

Therefore, Tong Yan and Gu Ping Sheng meet every day at 3:00 PM in the auditorium, hurriedly heading to class after the rehearsal.

She quickly regained her composure, and this time she had to be more cautious than ever in her role as host. All communication to the two hosts could only go through her. If she made a mistake, Gu Pingsheng would have no opportunity for remedy

Suddenly, my hand was grasped, neither too light nor too heavy, with just the right amount of force

She stared at her phone, inexplicably for a long time, and then opened each message one by one, reading them all over again

Even the Sunshine Theatre Company has invited professional drama actors who have already graduated to perform as a highlight

Tong Yan felt that this was quite far away. She was still preoccupied with when she would pass her major exams, and someone had already asked her when she would get married. She silently calculated for a long time and estimated: "I will graduate at 21 and will need to work for at least five years to pay off my loan, then date for another two or three years, so around 29..."

Zhou Qingchen almost bit off his tongue: "Teacher Du, I will be killed by my girlfriend. She even keeps a record of me talking to other girls..." The child awkwardly added: "Teacher Du, as long as the student agrees to let me change the size, I can take it back and re-sew it again."

There are four dressing rooms connected at the back, and during the rehearsal, two were designated as changing rooms for male and female performers. Tong Yan continuously heard screams from outside, mostly asking, "Where are my clothes?" ... "Where are my props?" ... Fortunately, it was not a formal performance; these girls were still wearing pants and sneakers under their skirts. I estimate that on the day of the official performance, the backstage will be in complete chaos.

Fortunately, the stage management arrived promptly to inform the two hosts that the rehearsal was about to begin

Miao Miao humorously said: "I have been working for over 3 years, it's about time to settle down. What about you? When do you plan to get married?"

Miao Miao was stunned: "At that time, my child was already in the third or fourth grade of elementary school..."

As Tong Yan got up, she nearly stepped on her own skirt

In fact, she bought a mobile phone mainly because she was afraid that her family would not be able to reach her in case of an emergency. Other than occasionally contacting her classmates in Beijing, it is not of much use. Her classmates usually reach out to her by shouting from downstairs or by calling the dormitory phone.

She was late by a full hour, and it is estimated that the French manager thought she had fallen into the restroom

The innocent words evoke deep gratitude, yet they also leave one in a state of both laughter and tears

After exiting a single text message, there is only a long string of the name 'Teacher Gu' in the inbox

You claim to be experienced and able to assist Gu Ping Sheng, yet why were you so nervous during the first official rehearsal just now

Gu Pingfan, the cousin of Teacher Gu

The child said with a puzzled expression: "I am not getting married, so how can there be a recommendation..."

Du Banpai was quite accommodating: "It's alright, this is the first official rehearsal, and there are two more to go, so take your time to adjust," he said, glancing at Tong Yan's back. "Zhou Qingchen, you go accompany Tong Yan to buy a new dress. This time it's for the school anniversary, so let's not wear those old evening gowns left by the former students."

After this sentence was spoken, everyone looked at Tong Yan's dress

After tomorrow, there will be 13 weeks and 91 days remaining

Due to such pressure

Later, as they became accustomed to it, the classmates in the class gradually began to joke around without restraint, often making strange noises to tease Tong Yan, who pretended to remain calm. After all, Gu Meiren could not hear them, and they were all the more delighted to be audacious.
