Chapter 1358 578 Where's the promised feeling of relaxation?

Chapter 1358, Section 578: Where's the promised feeling of relaxation?
"I really can't sleep."

It was still pitch black outside the window, and Ang Lee turned over and sat up.

The last time he woke up groggily and checked his phone was at 3:40.

After tossing and turning for a while, he picked up his phone again at 4:13.

That is at this moment.

A moment later, the cold wind overhead seemed to blow away the last bit of drowsiness he had, so he decided not to sleep.

"What time is it?"

A faint question came from beside me.

Ang Lee thought for a moment, "It's not even six o'clock yet."

Chen Xuan was still a little sleepy, but when she picked up her phone from beside her pillow, she saw that it wasn't even 4:30 yet!
"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Ang Lee didn't want to sleep, Teacher Xiaomi also lost interest in lying down and sat up against the headboard.

He quipped in the dim light, "Such a heavy burden?"

“There’s no burden,” Ang Lee explained. “I just can’t sleep. Why don’t you go back to sleep?”

Teacher Xiaomi laughed in exasperation: "Why are you still sleeping? Can't you get up quietly? You had to wake me up too."

moment.

Ang Lee: "Hey, what do you think the engagement day will be like?"
-
Let's go back five hours.

After a flurry of chatter, the two started talking about their engagement.

Chen Xuan fell asleep while they were chatting, leaving Li An tossing and turning all night.

To be honest, Ang Lee didn't really have any feelings about this before.

Even though Fu Tianming had talked to him a lot yesterday, after thinking about it afterwards, he still didn't feel that he was overly nervous about the engagement.

As long as there are no problems with the relationship and finances, the rest is just a matter of going through the motions.

The things his family needed to prepare were very simple.

There are six items.

Six bottles of wine, six catties of meat, six fish, six catties of pastries, six catties of sugar, plus six catties of vermicelli.

That's all.

My mother-in-law even said on the phone last night: "You guys just go about your business, I'll take care of everything."

Are you moved?

Ang Lee was truly moved.

But how could he let Chen Xuan's family prepare these things?

"Don't overthink it, my mom didn't mean anything by it."

"How could I not know that? It has nothing to do with Auntie."

"What's wrong with you? What did your uncle say to you?"

"He didn't say anything, and it has nothing to do with him. He's probably just been having too much free time these past few days."

"Relax."

Chen Xuan hugged Li An from behind, leaned close and whispered, "I know you've had a hard time."

“I’m not tired.” Li An pulled Chen Xuan into his arms. “You’re the one who’s really tired.”

One thing after another: “Coming back is a lot of trouble, then you have to leave again, then you come back to get married, and after that you have to leave again.”

Chen Xuan: "Do you regret it now? It's not too late to regret it now."

Ang Lee: "Is it still not too late?"

Chen Xuan: "Of course, you're the head of the family, so of course you make the decisions."

Ang Lee: "Then I regret it."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, then I won't go back. Does that mean we can get married next month?"

Ang Lee: "Really?"

Chen Xuan: "Really?"

Ang Lee: "Dream on. I'm not going to let you off so easily. You'd better hand over your diploma before we talk about anything else."

Chen Xuan: "If I really don't want to leave, will you support me this time?"

Ang Lee: Yes.

Chen Xuan: "Then what's the point of all this trouble?"

Ang Lee: "In life, there are always times when you want to do something, and there are always times when you want to give up something. It is certainly admirable to persevere to the end, but occasionally choosing to give up halfway can also be considered a kind of wisdom."

Chen Xuan scoffed, "You're so good at talking."

Ang Lee: "Isn't this the process of growing up? If you knew it would be like this a year from now, would you still choose to go abroad?"

Chen Xuan: Yes.

Ang Lee: "Look, this is how you've grown."

Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, and after realizing what Li An had said, she nodded: "You know what, if I had to make the choice today a year ago, I might really hesitate."

Ang Lee smiled.

Chen Xuan: "Under these circumstances, would you still encourage me to go abroad?"

Ang Lee: Yes.

Chen Xuan: Why?

Ang Lee: "Because hesitation is already an attitude."

Chen Xuan: "Avoiding the problem."

Ang Lee: "I'm serious."

Chen Xuan: "You only said you would because of me, don't you think about yourself?"

Ang Lee laughed: "Isn't fulfilling your wish fulfilling my own? After all, you are the only life partner I've chosen."

Chen Xuan: "Okay, then I won't go back to France."

Ang Lee turned his head and frowned. "You've become so powerful now?"

Chen Xuan raised her chin, her provocative gaze filled with smugness.

"come."

Before long, the battle horns sounded again in the darkness.

The night outside the window, which had been so dark and like ink that could not be dissolved, had quietly faded in color at some point.

The alarm clock rang at 6:15.

The two, still half asleep, opened their eyes one after the other while embracing.

It was like a dream of spring; they looked at each other and smiled.

The sky outside the window gradually changed from gray to a pale white.

Then, a less bright red slowly seeped through.

Looking closer, the red color became faint and indistinct, as if it were struggling in the chaos, struggling, and finally disappearing.

"get up!"

"bath!"

The two were taking a shower in the bathroom when raindrops began to fall outside the window.

It's cloudy in Chengdu today.

Miss Sun arrived at the Joyful Hall at 7:15.

She set off secretly to surprise Chen Xiaomi.

It started raining halfway there, and she thought she was going to be late. But when she arrived, she found that none of the people who were supposed to be there had shown up.

"This damn weather."

Just as Sun Yuman finished complaining, there was a noise at the door.

She put down her water glass and walked over quickly, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face. "Finally!"

"Chen Xiaomi!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the reception staff, Sun Yuman suddenly grabbed Chen Xuan and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You're not replying to my messages!" Chen Xuan texted Sun Yuman the whole way, thinking the other woman had overslept.

"Humph!"

Sun Yuman looked at the face in front of her and said with great dissatisfaction, "You've just lost weight."

Chen Xuan smiled gently and hugged him tightly again, "I missed you."

"That's more like it." Sun Yuman released Chen Xuan, looked at Li An, and grinned. "Alright, alright, here you go, wife."

Ang Lee: "Why don't you two film a set together?"

Sun Yuman said, "How about we take a picture together?"

Chen Xuanle: "That's a good idea."

Hahahaha!

Amidst the increasingly horrified gazes of the staff, Fu Tianming and Wen Xiao arrived.

Then the five of them entered the elevator chatting and laughing, while the two young ladies at the front desk looked at each other in bewilderment.

It is indeed a rather complex set of relationships between the characters.

Teacher Xiaomi is putting on makeup—

Outside the door, Ang Lee called Boss X again.
-
Yunxi Mountain Villa.

The activity hall was filled with chatter.

The children looked very happy, but the teachers kept sighing.

Due to the sudden rain, today's planned outdoor activities could not proceed as scheduled.

Sun Liwen: "I don't know when this rain will stop."

Wang Han: "The app shows that it will stop downloading at 10:30."

Huang Chuxian: "Yesterday's weather forecast said it would be a sunny day today."

Old Tang: "So what do we do this morning?"

Everyone looked at Boss X.

With Ang Lee absent, Old Tang is in charge. In case of emergencies, Boss X has the final say.

Boss X has just spoken to Ang Lee, and Ang Lee told him to decide, saying that he was putting on makeup.

He said he was getting his makeup done, preparing to take wedding photos.

As soon as Boss X finished speaking, the teachers erupted in an uproar.

“Is this true?!”

"Are you really taking wedding photos?!"

"This"

"No wonder he hasn't shown up for days; he's really up to something important."

Boss X sighed and chuckled to himself, thinking that Ang Lee was really something.

Yesterday, Ang Lee said in a group chat that he was going to take wedding photos today, but no one believed him.

"Teacher Tang, you don't know either?"

"I really do not know."

Old Tang smiled wryly. Even now, he was a little doubtful. This wasn't like his boss at all; it was too sudden.

However, considering the timing, he could understand. If the wedding was at the end of the year, this trip back would be a good opportunity to do some preparations.

"So, Teacher Chen, what activities should we arrange for the children this morning?" Old Tang asked.

Everyone's attention once again focused on Boss X's face.

After a moment, Boss X sighed.

"Have everyone gather in the activity area first."

As soon as a call to assemble came from the speakers, the hall immediately became even more chaotic.

The six groups of members rushed towards the scene of the icebreaker game that night.

Each group should find their assigned area and take their seats.

Once everyone was seated, the hall became much quieter.

Facing the children's curious gazes, Boss X took the microphone and walked to the center of the hall.

"I have some bad news to share with everyone."

"Due to the weather, we cannot proceed with our outdoor classes as planned this morning."

"We don't know how long the rain will stop, we can only wait and see."

"But we can't just sit around while we wait; we have to make use of this time, right?!"

The children laughed and shouted in unison, "Yes!!!"

Boss X laughed: "I don't know what you guys are so happy about."

After a pause, we teachers discussed it and came up with a wonderful solution for you.

"Now line up and go back to your rooms, and we'll return your phones to you."

"Eh?"

"what's the situation?"

Boss X looked around. "Shouldn't we be cheering now?"

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

"Wait a minute? Aren't you always complaining that you don't spend enough time on your phones? Now we're giving you phones to play with in bed, aren't you happy?"

Laughter erupted again from the audience.

Just then, Lu Hanwen shouted, "We're not going to get the phone at all! Teacher, you must have heard the story of the boy who cried wolf!"

Boss X nodded: "Okay, it seems you all have experience now. But the idea the day before yesterday was your teacher Li's, it has nothing to do with us."

cut!
Eh!
"Teacher Li would never lie to us!!"

Boss X smiled and said, "Then guess what your dear Teacher Li is doing right now? If you guess correctly, you'll get a stamp as a reward."

This really piqued the children's curiosity.

Teacher Li has been missing for four days now.

"Tourism? No, no, no."

"What? A concert? No, no, no."

"Sick? You silly child, let's try to think the best of you."

"No, no."

Suddenly, a sound rang out from Group 5.

"Spend time with my wife!!!"

The innocent voices of children pierced through the hall and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Wang Xiaohu suddenly covered Xiao Ziming's mouth, "You little rascal."

Facing the gazes coming from all directions, Little Tiger quickly smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things!"

The joyful scene made everyone burst into laughter again.

Boss X throws out the bait: "So, do you want to know where Teacher Li is right now? He's really doing something big."

The children all shouted, "Yes!!"

Boss X: "Alright! Let's play a game next. The winning team will get a clue about Teacher Li."

game!

intelligence!

The audience erupted in cheers!

They haven't played any games since the icebreaker game!

Although the daily classes and activities are very interesting, who can resist the temptation of group games in such a setting!

Moreover, winning the game can also yield clues about Teacher Li, which is really interesting.

"Shh!"

Boss X gestured for everyone to be quiet. "Next, we're going to play a very simple game called 'Pictionary.' Those who want to play, please clap!"

"Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If a group of adults heard this, they certainly wouldn't be interested in the game.

Children have no resistance to this kind of group game, especially in this kind of atmosphere.

"Then the first round will begin immediately."

"Now each group send one member up."

"No one needs to worry, I guarantee everyone will be able to participate today."

After some discussion, each group sent out its representatives to participate in the first round.

Group 1: Xiao Bei
Group Two: DouDou

Group 3: Qiao Zhizhi
Group Four: Fu Yu

Group 5: Tang Xiaoxing
Group 6: Mangosteen

The six people arrived at the center of the hall. Old Tang and the others brought over tables and chairs, and Mu Xin placed the laptop with the multiplier betting function connected on the table.

"Wow!"

At this moment, everyone present can see the whiteboard on the projector.

"Game rules: One person draws a picture, and five people guess. The time limit is one and a half minutes. The person who guesses correctly gets three points, and the person who draws the picture gets one point. If no one guesses correctly, the person who draws the picture loses two points."

"Did you six understand?"

The six nodded: "We understand."

Boss X: "Okay, let's start with one group."

Xiao Bei sat down in front of the laptop and picked up the stylus.

The other five people turned their backs to the computer and sat down in the chairs in front of the big screen.

The atmosphere at the scene became a bit tense for a moment.

Boss X walked up to Xiao Bei and showed her his phone screen.

【interval】

After a moment, he asked, "Are you ready?"

Xiao Bei nodded: "Ready!"

Boss X: "Countdown begins!"

As soon as Boss X pressed the stopwatch, Xiao Bei immediately drew a standard set of 28 (two eighth notes with bar marks).
