The three of them were about to find a seat to sit down and wait for the coming-of-age ceremony to begin, when a tall high school student came over. He was wearing a casual T-shirt and sweatpants, looking like a sunny boy. All three of them knew this person, his name was Liu Yaqiang, and he was well-known in the high school of No. 2 Middle School.
Liu Yaqiang is a senior in No. 2 Middle School. His grades are relatively poor and he is a sports student. In the past, there were street gangsters who came around No. 2 Middle School to extort students, but they were beaten by Liu Yaqiang so that they did not dare to come again. He is not in the circle of street gangsters, but he has left behind legends. It is said that he beat up many of the gangster leaders in the county.
The study style of No. 2 Middle School is poor, and there are many naughty and mischievous students. These students are not afraid of the teachers in No. 2 Middle School, but they are afraid of being caught by Liu Yaqiang. There are not many people who can make Zhao Yunfei look up to him, and Liu Yaqiang can be said to be one of the few. Although the two of them had nothing in common, it did not hinder his admiration for Liu Yaqiang.
Liu Yaqiang stepped forward and greeted: "I heard that you heard that Bald Wu and Fatty Wang were beaten violently yesterday. They were quite powerful. You two beat six people, and I have never done this before."
Zhao Yunfei said with some embarrassment: "I beat Baldy Wu. Fatty Wang and a few minions were killed by Lao Zhang. He is very capable. He usually plays weak and only takes action at critical moments."
Liu Yaqiang looked at Zhang Yongsheng and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! Fighting five of them is really not an ordinary person. You must have practiced some martial arts, ordinary people can't do this."
Zhang Yongsheng said modestly: "I haven't received any professional training. I just practiced a few self-defense moves with the old man in the country. I heard that you are very powerful. You can scare those street gangsters from messing around by yourself."
Liu Yaqiang shook his head and said: "I am just a wild man, who relies on his tallness and strength to achieve his feats. When it comes to fighting, it is like a king's eight punch, and it is impossible to fight five with one person."
Liu Yaqiang is very tall. Zhang Yongsheng is visually over 1.95 meters tall, which is taller than Wu Baldzi who is 1.9 meters tall. And he doesn't have a bamboo pole figure like Wu Bald, but a muscular man similar to Zhao Yunfei. He is a master coach in discus, his limbs are extremely strong, and his boxing is also extremely powerful.
The three of them were still very enthusiastic about Liu Yaqiang's initiative to talk. Although we don't have much interaction with each other, after all, he is a popular figure in No. 2 Middle School and a student sports star. He always steals the show in every sports meeting. Some people rank Liu Yaqiang and Bai Zhixuan as representatives of the No. 2 Middle School Art Sports.
Liu Yaqiang is very talkative and can talk about various topics without the arrogance of a man of the hour. He heard that Zhao Yunfei had been addicted to martial arts since he was a child, and suggested that Zhao Yunfei apply for physical education. The new principal is very supportive in this regard and will try his best to provide training opportunities for art students and physical education students.
This made Zhao Yunfei a little excited. He originally planned to switch to the technical school route after graduating from high school, but now he has a new choice. Zhou Lanbing went to be an art student. He could choose the route of a sports student and maybe get into college. For this reason, he specifically asked Liu Yaqiang to learn about the direction of sports students, and planned to mobilize his parents when he returned home.
The four chatted for a while, and Bai Zhixuan's birthday party and adult ceremony began. A small stage was added in front of the large-screen TV in the private room. Mei Xinyue acted as the host and walked to the middle of the stage with a microphone. After her opening remarks, the ceremony officially began.
First, Bai Zhixuan walked to the middle of the stage and delivered some heartfelt remarks, mainly regarding the coming-of-age ceremony. After you turn eighteen, you become an adult and you are fully responsible for your actions. Your life will undergo great changes. Every high school student looks forward to this day and is confused about the future. The coming-of-age ceremony is the beginning of change.
Bai Zhixuan was dressed beautifully today and her makeup was relatively mature. She was wearing an evening dress with a stand-up collar. The dark tone made it look grand and formal. The short sleeves of tulle and the lace revealed a bit of style. The slim-fitting long skirt and high heels showed off her tall and graceful figure, making her look elegant and extraordinary.
The overall feeling of this look makes Bai Zhixuan look slightly older than her real age, less lively and cute as an eighteen-year-old girl, and more like a mature woman. The men in the audience were fascinated and admired in their hearts. It was also the first time that Zhou Lanbing saw Bai Zhixuan dressed up like this, and he was shocked.
Bai Zhixuan took the stage and delivered a speech, mainly describing her growth process and the people who helped her a lot during her growth. Every time she thanked someone for her help, everyone applauded warmly. To Zhang Yongsheng's surprise, Bai Zhixuan was most grateful to Zhou Lanbing's mother.
According to her, when she was a child, her parents divorced and she was entrusted by her father to live in a neighbor's house. She lived a very lonely and helpless life and even suffered from autism. It was Zhou Lanbing's mother, Teacher Lan from the children's palace dance class, who helped her recover from autism, so she treated Zhou Lanbing as a younger brother.
Bai Zhixuan is one year older than her peers in the same grade. It was also because of her autism that she delayed her entry into elementary school, so she was one year later than her peers. Zhang Yongsheng didn't know about these past events, and he never heard Zhou Lanbing mention them. Bai Zhixuan said this during the coming-of-age ceremony, which surprised him.
In the eyes of many people, Bai Zhixuan is a lively and beautiful girl with a bold and generous personality who is willing to help others and is willing to spend money. No one would have thought that this lively and cheerful girl had ever suffered from autism. The contrast in personality is so great that it makes people feel incredible.
After the speeches at the coming-of-age ceremony, Yu Jie and Jin Kai came over with a trolley. On it was a three-tiered birthday cake with shining candles. Then the lights in the private room went out and everyone sang happy birthday together, and the atmosphere became warm and romantic.
After singing the birthday song, Bai Zhixuan made a wish and blew out the candles. Finally, the cake was divided. These procedures are fixed and must be done every year on Bai Zhixuan's birthday. She is already very familiar with them. Nearly thirty people came to the scene, and each person was given a small piece of cake to try, which has a greater symbolic meaning.
Such a birthday party opened Zhao Yunfei's eyes and made him very excited. His family background is average, and he has never celebrated his birthday since he was a child. Every birthday, his parents would prepare him something delicious and give him a red envelope as a token of appreciation. This was his first time attending such a Western-style birthday party, and everything felt new.
Next is the time that everyone is most looking forward to opening gifts, and it is also the best time for the rich children present to compete. These rich kids are far richer than Zhang Yongsheng and others, and they are generous in giving gifts. A single gift can even be a few months' salary for an ordinary person.
As a result, various jewelry and cosmetics appeared, and various women's products also appeared in turn. These are all of very high value, especially Jin Kai, who gave a pair of earrings worth over a thousand yuan, which made the whole audience cheer. Everyone knew about his crazy pursuit of Bai Zhixuan. Everyone was very optimistic about him and made all sorts of noises about him.
Compared with their gifts, the pink handbag given by Zhang Yongsheng seems very ordinary. Judging from the price tag, it was only over a hundred, far less than what Jin Kai gave. But most people are between one hundred and one hundred and fifty, which is at least decent in terms of appearance.
