Whose hoodie is this?
"Hu Yu'en".
"She put it here?"
"Ah."
Lin Mo picked up the hoodie, thinking of folding it up and putting it away for the fox...
A folded piece of paper fell out.
At the same time, the stage lights came on.
"Dear students, respected teachers and parents, good evening!"
"...(omitted)"
"First, please welcome our outstanding senior student representative, Hu Yu'en, to the stage to give a speech..."
With vacant eyes and a numb expression, Hu Yu'en emerged from behind the curtain, her steps unsteady...
He even staggered a little.
"Hmm... Hu Yu'en seems a little shy... Let's give her a round of applause!"
The host chuckled, assuming she was just nervous.
Lin Mo was internally screaming with frustration as he stared at the forgotten speech draft...
Silly fox.
Chapter 140 Calling a Beautiful Girl Mom
"Zi..."
The host handed over the microphone.
The electronic interference sound was drawn out as it approached, like the neighing of a wild horse charging out of the battlefield.
The amplified sound immediately disturbed the entire playground, drawing the attention of parents and students who were still strolling around.
I took the microphone, thinking that tapping it would make the piercing noise disappear.
But the result was that her clapping made the noise even more jarring.
She almost dropped the microphone, but the host came over and helped her fix it.
"Yu'en? Are you alright? It's just reading a script with your classmates and aunts and uncles, just like before... Don't be nervous."
The host was her high school teacher, who trusted her a lot because she always presented a flawless, cheerful, and generous image to others...
But the little fox actually hates this. She can't do everything; for example, a beautiful romance can't be achieved with just a fake smile...
The irritated gazes were so similar to the ones her mother used to look at her with...
Will Lin Mo be in it?
She could bother everyone in the world, but she didn't want to be the one he hated.
I can't tolerate even the slightest disturbance; I'm terrified that the only hope I have in this hard-won life will vanish.
Everyone assumed that her family was very wealthy, that she must have everything, and that she must have seen everything, so her life must be very good.
But living in a wealthy family also meant bearing greater pressure. Just as her mother realized she lacked the ability to take over the family business, her father resolved to leave...
Therefore, even if she couldn't, she had to be able to; if she was going to pretend, she had to pretend perfectly.
The banquet was lavish, but the people were cold; the music room was elegant, but the music was monotonous; the dance was beautiful, but the contorted bodies were in pain...
It was Lin Mo's small suggestion that changed his mother's mindset. For the past two or three months, whenever she and her mother were about to have another conflict, even though the fox didn't dare to ask for help and didn't expect her phone screen to light up, there would be a message from him.
As long as you do what he says, Mom's mood will improve a lot, her attitude will change more and more, and she will become more and more dependent on him...
He initially thought Lin Mo was a hunter, so he grabbed her tail in the school corridor and questioned the fox about its wrongdoing.
After he exposed their dark side, just as they were about to bare their teeth and reveal their bestial nature to him, they discovered that he was actually a scholar.
He was only holding her to apply medicine to her injured tail.
Novels and comics say that girls in love lose their minds; they're already thinking of giving their brains and hearts to him even before they're in love...
In addition, foxes are also believed to repay kindness.
The scholar, however, did not take her home.
Then she can just wait.
I'll wait a lifetime, two lifetimes, many lifetimes. Spring comes and autumn goes, flowers bloom and fade. The fox becomes a fox spirit, growing even more beautiful. I'll always wait for him.
Unfortunately, the truth is, her impatient nature meant she couldn't wait, especially after learning he had many other women around him...
She could only sneak into his house, win the favor of various girls, and gradually become an inseparable part of him...
This is fantasy.
The reality is, she is not irreplaceable...
"Is that the class monitor...? What happened?"
"Why don't you speak?"
"Did they not choose a good student representative for the senior year...?"
"Is the microphone broken? Or is there a problem with the equipment?"
"It's obvious the little girl is too scared to speak..."
The cacophony of voices drifted into her ears; this was the first time she had faced everyone, the first time she had faced failure in front of everyone...
It was a very frustrating failure. The reason was that the speech draft was missing. They were frantically searching backstage, but couldn't find it. When they tried to think carefully, all they could think of was Lin Mo...
I almost cried when I thought of him.
But the thought that he might have the courage to force himself to do something on the spot if he couldn't find a script...
on site,
Facing so many people, including Lin Mo, Li Qingran, Chen Yajie, and Jiang Wanfeng...
And Shen Yanxi, who was clearly watching her from behind the scenes with ulterior motives,
She was tense until a noise completely disrupted her train of thought.
The opening remarks I had carefully prepared in my mind had all fallen apart. At the far end of the playground were lines of first and second-year high school students, which meant we were almost over time. This opening speech was only for the third-year students and their parents.
Even if she remembers what to say later, she'll be facing the entire school's teachers and students... At that point, if her voice is even slightly hoarse, it will be amplified and spread, shattering her image...
Her mother told her that image is very important, so important that she has to present her most authentic self to others. Even though she hates pretending, how could she so easily change a habit and mindset formed since childhood...?
Therefore,
"Hoo..."
Holding the microphone, she dared not open her eyes. She had been hiding in her dorm for two days, finally preparing herself mentally. At least she wanted to dress nicely and leave a good impression on Lin Mo, hoping that this would make him look at her more closely and perhaps even take her for a walk.
Walking through the gate symbolizes the adulthood where we once left our footprints in each other's youth.
Now, I'm afraid that's not possible... It's a mess.
In the past, if something went wrong, Lin Mo would save the day, but now, he can't...
"Dear classmates..."
She recited the prepared statement numbly, a wicked thought even popping into her mind.
Since things have already gone wrong, either... either on stage, she should shout it out loud: she really likes him.
I love it so much!
At least for the moment you shout it out, you can temporarily and falsely possess him...
Want to say something?
already...
It's too late... then let's just give up everything...
She pursed her lips, a faint sob rising in her throat, threatening to burst forth...
"There's still time, give me the microphone."
When someone answered her dirty thoughts, Hu Yu'en suddenly turned around.
The person I most want to see, but the person I least want to see at this time.
Instinctively, she loosened her grip on the microphone, only to realize with horror that his hand hadn't even reached out yet; it would fall to the ground if she did...
But he still caught it cleanly and easily.
In a flurry of glances, a million questions raced through their minds: How did Lin Mo get here? How could it be him...? What happened to the manuscript...?
They couldn't bring themselves to say it.
Her first thought was to cover her face, turn around, and run, but...
"Let's go behind the scenes first."
The teacher hosting on stage glanced at the staff backstage, who all looked completely bewildered... wondering who had put him on stage.
Only Shen Yanxi, who was volunteering in the corner, shrank back and retreated quietly with her head down, walking like a crab, and left without a word after finishing her task.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, teachers, students, and parents who have come from afar. I was originally scheduled to give the speech, but I suddenly have a stomachache, so this female student will be filling in for me..."
Lin Mo waved the speech draft in his hand and laughed, "I accidentally forgot and didn't even give her the speech draft. Luckily, the school toilets are great, so I made it back in time."
Hu Yu'en, who was slowly retreating behind the scenes, heard Lin Mo take all the blame and twisted her weak ankle on the flat ground.
Staggering, she fell, ignoring her injuries, and turned back in disbelief to look at his retreating figure again.
The curtain was just drawn, so he couldn't be seen.
Only the fox remained, its lips tightly pressed together, yet it couldn't hold back its tears.
What if people dislike him...? He'll embarrass himself, and if he makes a mistake at such an important coming-of-age ceremony, the teachers will question him...
How can we put all the burden on his shoulders...?
It was clearly her fault; she was so stupid as to forget that her speech was inside her hoodie...
I happened to fall into a corner, so I leaned against the wall, covered my ears, and dared not, dared not listen anymore...
"What are you doing, Senior Yu'en?"
"Hey, you weren't this cowardly when you hit me before."
Her misty eyes opened a crack, revealing Shen Yanxi standing with her hands on her hips, her imperious demeanor instantly igniting the fox's anger...
My thoughts became clear instantly without any pretense.
"You...brought him in?"
"uh-huh."
"You! No..."
“Lin Mo insisted on coming.” Shen Yanxi sighed. “Even I couldn’t stop him.”
"And he also told Xixi that you would definitely cry, so he told Xixi to come and see you."
Hu Yu'en was stunned, unwilling to believe it... but the facts were right in front of her.
"..."
"To be honest, I'm also very angry."
Shen Yanxi sat down beside her.
"This is too reckless."
"But what he said is actually quite right. The situation outside has stabilized. Don't believe me? Just listen for yourself."
"He really is a cunning fellow. He speaks eloquently and logically, unlike a normal high school student."
"Making girls happy, it seems, is just one of his specialties."
"You'd probably be pretty good at stand-up comedy in the future?"
