"Here you go." Gu Yi straightened his tie that was crooked and placed a plate of steak in front of Hong Xiqi. "This is enough for you."
"Those people are so crazy! Brother Mian, help me see, is this tie still crooked?"

"Hey, you are the photographer Kim who is here to shoot tonight, right?" A student council member spotted a man holding a camera in the corner, wearing a mask and hat, and walked over and asked.
The man held the heavy camera hanging on his chest tightly and remained silent. He raised his head slightly and stared at the boy in front of him with a pair of vigilant eyes for a long time.
Seeing that the man didn't answer, the boy thought he had admitted his mistake, but he searched all over the gym and found only this one who took the photo. He touched his head and murmured doubtfully, "Hey, you admitted it wrong? Isn't it a photographer named Jin? Did I remember it wrong? How many photographers are there tonight?"
The man seemed to have just come to his senses. The vigilance in his eyes dissipated. He nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, classmate, I am Photographer Jin. Isn't it almost New Year's Day? There's a bit of traffic on the road. I'm late. No." Sorry."
The boy looked suspiciously at the man in front of him who was dressed conservatively and could not see his face at all. He became suspicious and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask our president."
He turned around and called the student council president to confirm.
The man stopped laughing the moment the boy turned around, and continued to look in one direction with a deep look in his eyes. He picked up the camera in his hand and took a few more photos. When the boy turned around, he put down the camera.
"Come with me." The boy looked at the man suspiciously again, but the information he said matched the information given to him by the president, so he put down his doubts a little, "I invite you to come this time. The main thing is I want to take some promotional photos and videos, which will be posted on the school’s official website then..." The boy led the way and started to tell the man about the main tasks tonight. When he turned around, he found the man He had already started taking pictures with his camera. He didn't seem to be listening to what he said seriously. He frowned slightly, stopped and asked, "Photographer Jin, did you hear what I said?"
"I heard it, I heard it." The man spoke Mandarin in Weicheng Plastics. "Aren't you just taking some promotional photos and putting them on the campus website? I'll take care of it. I'm very experienced, don't worry. I will definitely give it to you. It was a beautiful shot." He said, his eyes narrowed as if he were smiling, and he raised one hand in a "no problem" gesture.
The boy raised his hand and looked at the time, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over first. You walk around here, take some photos, and you can eat as much as you like. The activities will start soon."
"Okay, thank you." The man raised his hand to the boy and walked towards the corner with the camera, pretending to look for an opportunity to take a picture.
The boy walked to the table in the corner and sat down. He shook his head and muttered to the classmates beside him, "Are all the photographers nowadays so weird? They don't look like good people. You said, this Photographer Jin is really a friend of the president. Did it take a lot of effort to invite you?"
"What you can't understand is art. Artists who have achieved some success tend to have weird tempers." Another student, playing a mobile game with his hands low, sneered and replied, "When will you understand these artists?" Whatever you are thinking, you are not far away from success in the art world.”

"Hey, hey." The host stood in the middle of the gymnasium and tried the sound check into the floor-standing microphone.
"Everyone," the host said with a smile, and the background music in the gymnasium also became much quieter, "are you all full? Our coming-of-age ceremony party is about to start..."
"Xiao Youyou, I seem to be full." Hong Xiqi stood hunched beside Tao You, with a grimace on her face, and slowly rubbed her slightly protruding belly with one hand, "This skirt is so tight that I want to vomit."
Tao You was glad that she was wearing a suit jacket. At this moment, she put her hands behind her jacket and secretly rearranged the elastic band at the back of her skirt before she felt better in her stomach.
But Hong Xiqi’s skirt is a zipper style, so she can only wait for her belly to fall
Digest it yourself.
"How about we go for a walk?" Tao You suggested when he saw that Hong Xiqi was really uncomfortable.
Hong Xiqi glanced at the classmates coming around. They were gradually squeezed into the innermost corner, and it was already difficult to get out. She took a slow breath, straightened up, stroked Tao You's stretched out hand, and said firmly, "I can do it!"
"You deserve it, who asked you to eat so much." Gu Yi complained, but still helped Hong Xiqi move a chair over, "Sit down. Don't be embarrassed, many people are still eating." He pointed. Some students are still eating.
Hong Xiqi didn't show any pretense. She leaned back on the chair, covered her stomach with her down jacket, and relaxed completely.
"In a moment, we have prepared games, which are carefully selected and prepared by our president..." The host rambled on about the process for a while.
"Xiao Youyou, is that the photographer invited by the school?" Hong Xiqi's focus can always perfectly deviate from the main channel, but every time it is impossible to find any faults.
Tao You followed her gaze and looked through the crowd to the opposite corner. A man wearing a black down jacket. The moment Tao You looked over, he lowered his head slowly, pressed down the brim of his hat, and lifted the clothes up. After mentioning it, he squatted down and looked at the photos in the camera.
"It should be so." Tao You didn't pay too much attention, "How could the school let this kind of event and such good material go? I estimate that at least after New Year's Day, photos and short videos of the party will appear on the school's official website."
When Hong Xiqi heard that the photo might appear on the school's official website, she immediately changed her sitting position. She moved her butt forward a little to ensure that it only occupied one-third of the chair. She folded her hands on her knees, straightened her back and sunk her shoulders. , raised her chin slightly, and did not forget to remind Tao You, "Xiao Youyou, stop looking around, straighten your clothes, and listen to the host." She said, with a very official smile on her lips, and looked at the host seriously. People still nod from time to time.
——This change...
Tao You looked at Hong Xiqi's changes with a smile. She looked a bit like a wealthy lady, "No, what's the use of adjusting now? What should be taken must have been taken just now."
"Tsk, can that be the same?" Hong Xiqi glanced at Tao You and moved her mouth slightly, "The activity has just started, and playing games or something later is the focus. Xiao Youyou, this has to be posted on the school's official website, even if We have taken a lot of photos just now, so we should still take chances. If we were not photographed just now, it is still too late."
"Hurry up and straighten your clothes." She said, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to help Tao You straighten her clothes, looked her over, and suggested, "How about you take off this suit, I can't even see your skirt underneath. What's it like? It's quite hot inside the gym. If you wear so much, you'll feel cold when you go out soon."
Tao You felt it carefully, shook his head and said, "I think it's just right to wear it like this, no need to take it off."
"No..." Hong Xiqi still wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Song Yimian.
Song Yimian put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Hong Xiqi disapprovingly, and said without blushing, "Don't take it off if it's not hot. This is good."
Hong Xiqi frowned and glared at Song Yimian angrily, then looked at Tao You and asked angrily, "What's the matter with him?! Shang Jin is going against me tonight! Just take care of yourself!" "
——I care?
Tao You pointed at himself in surprise and signaled to Hong Xiqi with his eyes: What did you say?
Hong Xiqi also rolled her eyes and responded: "It's yours!" You don't care if he does this to your sisters? !
Tao You quickly glanced at Song Yimian, who was staring in the direction of the host. He blushed, lowered his head and pinched Hong Xiqi, and said, "I can't control it. You should think about where you provoked him." "
"You...I..." Hong Xiqi was furious and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"The coming-of-age ceremony party officially begins now!" Following the host's order, the background music was changed to an intense and cheerful pop song, and the students sitting in the corner
Members of the student union controlled the intensity of the lights above their heads, and the crowd began to cheer, singing along and dancing wildly in the middle of the gymnasium.
——I'll go and change the gymnasium to K. The planning of the student union is really good! No wonder the principal and teachers left after the performance. If they saw this, they would be so angry that their blood pressure would soar.
Hong Xiqi was quickly infected by the atmosphere. She stood up from her chair and cheered, waving her short down jacket in her hand, "Little Youyou, let's go and play together! Stop standing in the corner and get excited!"
The deafening music echoed throughout the gymnasium, making Tao You's heart beat rapidly and feeling a little uncomfortable. She shook her hand and shouted loudly, "Go ahead. My stomach is still a little full, so I'll stand a little longer."
"Okay, come find me later!" Hong Xiqi let go of her hand, lifted up her skirt and squeezed into the crowd.
Gu Yi hurriedly followed her, raising his hands slightly to protect her, always paying attention to her not to be hit by others, and murmuring, "My aunt, please slow down, don't get stepped on! Oh, be careful. careful!"
Song Yimian had no interest in such occasions, so it was a miracle that he could still be standing here, let alone squeeze into the crowd and play crazy with them.
He stood next to Tao You, turning his head to look at Tao You through the colorful lights. Seeing her discomfort, he bent slightly to her ear and said softly, "Would you like to go out for some air?"
Tao You tried her best to adjust her breathing so that she could adapt to everyone's rhythm. Maybe her breathing was a little faster and she began to feel a little stuffy, but it was still within the tolerance range. "No need." She was just too lazy to move her feet.

It was getting dark outside, and the first self-study class had just ended. Many first-year students came to the gymnasium, stood outside the gymnasium, opened the door a crack, put their heads together and joined in the fun.
Perhaps because the atmosphere in the gym gradually increased and the temperature also increased, the red area on Tao You's face began to enlarge and sweat began to form on her back. She unbuttoned the buttons in front of her body, took off her suit and put it on her knees.
"Little girl, what kind of activity are you doing?" The photographer who was taking pictures in the opposite corner just now turned to Tao You at some point and asked with a thick local accent.
