A Young Woman's Heart

"Oh dear—don't worry about such a small thing! Anyway, Wanyan won't... Wow! What a scary look..."

……

(four)

This is the first time I've appeared on a television program.

As one of the participating bands, they were still a little nervous despite having many experiences performing on stage.

Xue Music Band's manager, Li Wanyan, is completing the handover process, while Mo Xiaoxiao is extremely busy.

Fortunately, Hua Yinyin also knows how to do makeup, so she can help out in this situation; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time to finish the makeup for the whole team.

"Get ready to go on stage." Li Wanyan hurried over. "It's almost our turn."

"Wow, that's fast! Aren't there two left?"

"Yes, the first two were rejected halfway through and didn't continue."

"Wow—the judges are so strict." Mo Zhuyou's leg trembled nervously. "Are we really okay?"

"No problem, we are the strongest!" Jiang Yuruo's confidence seemed to be always so abundant, and the feeling of uncertainty never seemed to exist in her mind.

"It'll be done soon. I'll finish braiding Xiaoyao's hair."

"Five minutes left." Li Wanyan didn't urge her, but calmly gave the time.

Although Li Wanyan was calm and composed, it was everyone's first time on a TV show stage, and they were not yet familiar with each other's coordination, so it was inevitable that they would be flustered at times.

But at least they made it onto the stage before that happened.

The stage lighting technicians weren't very attentive; the light beams just shone down in a very ordinary way.

Yu Shu narrowed her eyes in fright, while Jiang Yuruo beside her nodded vigorously, seemingly to encourage her.

Seeing that the judges below the stage were all ready, Mo Zhuyou raised her drumsticks high and struck them down forcefully. Just like in school, her energetic voice rang out: "One, two, one, two, three, four!"

"Thump thump—"

"I am a cat..."

Chapter 8. Class Reunion Ten Years Later

2012 12 Month 21 Day.

The Mayan-predicted doomsday has passed, and the world is back to normal.

The war is a local war, and the peace is a local peace—even if it's just a barely maintained order.

Nothing in this world lasts forever.

But at least, China today is prosperous and developing.

Whatever hidden dangers may exist, they are concealed beneath the surface of development.

Gao Yuan, who had been abroad for ten years, finally returned in the first half of the year. After adjusting to life in China for a while, he planned to organize a class reunion before heading to the United States again.

After discussing it with the two Mo sisters, they decided to locate the place in a container house in the suburbs.

To be precise, it should be the yard outside the container house.

Initially, they chose to hold it in their own grand hotel, but then they felt that would be too ostentatious.

The feelings between high school classmates should be purer and more sincere. Even if he knows that ten years have passed and many things may just be wishful thinking on his part, he still hopes to have such a comfortable atmosphere.

That rural cement road has now become an asphalt road, and the farmland and villages next to it have been mostly demolished, seemingly to make way for new commercial buildings and residential houses.

However, those places are far from where the two Mo sisters lived, and there is currently no news of them being demolished.

In fact, even if it is to be demolished, it doesn't matter, Gao Yuan will definitely find a way to arrange things for the two of them.

He hadn't returned home for ten years, but he still kept in frequent contact with the two sisters. In a sense, he had come to regard them as family.

Next to the bus stop, Gao Yuan personally drove his BMW sports sedan, which he considered quite understated, to wait for some old classmates who didn't have their own cars or couldn't easily drive, and then took them to the gathering place.

"Oh my, Lu Bolun! Over here!" Gao Yuan saw a familiar face. Lu Bolun didn't seem to have changed much, except that his stubble was a bit heavier and he looked a little more mature.

"Oh, Gao Yuan!"

"Oh my, you're the first one I run into! How many more can you fit in the car? Do you mind waiting a little longer?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lu Bolun, dressed in a sharp suit and looking like a successful businessman, patted the roof of the car. "This car is nice, isn't it?"

"Not bad. What are you doing now? Why didn't Lu Chengyuan come with you?"

"I work for a foreign trade company now." Lu Bolun didn't seem to be in a hurry to go in. He just leaned against the window, standing diagonally on the raised sidewalk next to him. "Cheng Yuan? Uh? You don't know her?"

"What?"

"It's from university."

"What?! Ugh! Ugh!" Gao Yuan drawled, "Weren't you two so inseparable back then? You even said you'd get married together! What happened to you? Did you betray her?"

"Ahem." Lu Bolun glanced at the passersby. "Well... it wasn't a good match, so we broke up in the end, a peaceful one."

"This is too... But it's been so many years, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

Are you married yet?

"Ha...not yet, I'm busy with my career. I've recently saved up some money and I'm planning to find someone to marry."

"Not yet? You're looking for someone now? Are you planning a whirlwind marriage?"

"We'll see."

"Sigh, you're such a waste." Gao Yuan sighed, took out a pack of foreign cigarettes from the car, handed one to him, and the latter lit it with an ordinary metal lighter.

He took a deep drag. "This cigarette tastes a bit strange."

"Haha, fruit-flavored, a women's cigarette."

Why would someone smoke a woman's cigarette?

"It has a low nicotine content, so you need to be careful about your health."

"Then why don't you quit smoking?"

"I can't quit, can I?" Gao Yuan rested an arm outside the window. "Who have you been in contact with lately?"

"It's Le Tingfeng, right? He came back from Taiwan. He didn't buy a car in mainland China. He'll probably be coming with his wife later. You know his wife? She used to be from our school. She was going to be a radio host, but she went back with Le Tingfeng, who got into National Taiwan University."

"That kid's not bad either. Where does he live now?"

"I'm basically a permanent resident here, but I come back occasionally."

The two were chatting casually when they suddenly saw a black electric scooter speeding past.

Gao Yuan, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized who it was.

"Holy crap, Chen Cheng!!"

Many years have passed, and Chen Cheng is still riding an electric scooter, but he has changed to a new model with the latest design. Zhuang Lianlian, who was with him when they were in school, is still sitting on his scooter.

"Hmm?" Chen Cheng's ears were still sharp. He slammed on the brakes, turned the car around, and drove back. "Gao Yuan?"

"I'm picking someone up here, do you know the way?"

"I have navigation, I'll go directly there."

"Wow, that's pretty advanced, they've got navigation now."

"Hmm, your car is nice."

"It's alright." Gao Yuan didn't mention that this was the cheapest car in his family's car. He immediately took out a cigarette and offered one to Chen Cheng, "Old Chen, have one."

"I don't smoke."

"What's wrong? You used to be a heavy smoker."

"I've quit." Chen Cheng shook his head.

Zhuang Lianlian smiled and looked at Gao Yuan and Lü Bolun, which was considered a greeting.

What are you doing now?

"Help my dad manage the noodle shop."

"No?"

"Yes, Lianlian opened a small bookstore next to me."

"Great." Lu Bolun gave a thumbs up.

Gao Yuan was very happy because he felt that his former classmates were still the same as before, without much change. Although they had become slightly more tactful, they had not become more snobbish.

"Then go ahead, Xiaoxiao and Youyou are already busy. If you can help, then help out. There are so many people tonight! Almost everyone has to come!"

"it is good."

Just after saying goodbye to Chen Cheng, another person arrived on a motorcycle. This time, he stopped on his own initiative.

"Gao Yuan?"

"You are... Holy crap, Jun Ruohuan?"

"it's me."

"You're in even better spirits than you were back then."

"Hehe... Now I'm... a policeman."

"Police officers, huh? Not bad at all."

"He risked his life in the line of duty, just retired yesterday, and is now just an ordinary policeman."

"What was it before that?"

"Drug enforcement police."
