Li Qingran looked at Jiang Wanfeng, who had suddenly appeared. The proud girl, perhaps out of shyness, was wearing a rather thick coat, but the long hem of her skirt was still visible.

"Huh? Wanfeng... your, weren't your clothes custom-made?" Chen Yajie's tendency to embarrass others kicked in again.

"Yes, I... I asked the shop owner to make me a dress that's like a wedding gown..."

"I see..." Chen Yajie smiled politely, as if she understood the reason; their thoughts had overlapped... Luckily, Yajie didn't think that way.

As expected, haste makes waste. She should just wear a simple dress and wait for him to put it on her himself... if possible.

"You're going to die! Why are you wearing high heels too?!"

"It's perfectly normal to wear a long skirt with high heels."

A cold glint suddenly appeared in Li Qingran's eyes.

"Moreover, the colors are different."

"That's what they say..." Jiang Wanfeng muttered, feeling extremely unwilling.

Wearing the same outfit as someone else is quite embarrassing for a girl.

Before you know it, you'll find a clear difference between the buyer's photo and the seller's photo.

"Tsk..."

Forcing herself to accept this reality, Jiang Wanfeng changed into burgundy high heels. She took a couple of awkward steps, the heels clicking softly on the tiled floor of the dressing room.

"Anyway, wearing it on you and wearing it on me are two completely different things."

"Yes, Qingran thinks so too."

"Everyone...why don't we go outside first? It's almost 6:30...the party starts in half an hour."

Chen Yajie tried to lighten the mood, "I heard that the senior students were seated in the very front row, the best seats to watch the New Year's Eve party!"

Li Qingran nodded, glanced at Jiang Wanfeng again, and also chose to put on a coat to cover her stunningly beautiful dress underneath.

Seeing that the other two had put on their coats, Chen Yajie couldn't go against the grain and put on her school uniform jacket as well.

But as the three girls walked out, from the corridor to the playground, they remained dazzling, captivating everyone who looked on, wishing they had an extra eye to remember them...

Chen Yajie couldn't help but feel relieved; thankfully, she was only wearing a coat, so she didn't cause a commotion... Some of the younger high school girls were really enthusiastic; you'd think they were big stars if you didn't know better...

She only wanted one person to see her carefully made-up appearance.

"Hmm~ I've always watched the seniors go on stage, now it's our turn~"

The New Year's Eve party featured a stage set up on the playground, a grand event held annually by the school to enrich students' extracurricular life.

However, since the coming-of-age ceremony is also scheduled during the New Year's Eve party, it often gets disrupted by mischievous senior high school students.

Senior year of high school is tough, but as the second semester approaches, students in their final year are in a situation where they have no choice in the school.

The teachers were quite open-minded and supported a moderate level of relaxation, so they didn't interfere much, but some leaders were still heartbroken.

For example, young couples kissing in front of the gate of the coming-of-age ceremony, or oddballs in outlandish costumes climbing through the gate, are things that are simply intolerable to them.

Couples are fine, but don't display them directly; abstract things are fine, but don't make them appear dark and distorted on the ground.

"Oh, I see Mom! Wanfeng, Qingran, I'll go find Mom first~"

Coming-of-age ceremonies are usually attended by parents, with the parents' contingent positioned next to the senior students' contingent.

"Wanfeng! Jiang Wanfeng! Look here~ Mommy's here~"

Suddenly, as Chen Yajie left, Jiang Wanfeng, who was feeling a little uncomfortable being alone with Li Qingran, was called by a somewhat unfamiliar voice.

At first glance, it turned out to be his mother...

So she has a mother... I haven't seen her in so long, my mind is full of Lin Mo, I've forgotten she has a mother...

Immediately afterwards, she saw her mother holding up a banner:

"Wanfeng, Wanfeng, happy adulthood~ You will always be Mom's most beloved baby!"

The proud girl blushed deeply and quickly ran over to stop her mother.

"Mom! What are you doing? This isn't a big deal, ugh...aren't you ashamed...there are so many people watching!"

"What's wrong? Mom finally took time off to come see you. How could I miss my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony? Look, many other parents brought flowers!"

"I don't want to, I'm not a child anymore."

"You're definitely not a child anymore." Aunt Jiang patted her head. "Where's Lin Mo? I've been letting you two get along well for so long, have you made up with him yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanfeng's pupils contracted and then dilated. "What...who...had a bad relationship with him to begin with...making up or anything..."

"Then why do you call your mother every day, telling your father and me not to come back to your place?"

Are you enjoying your time together as a couple?

"There's no time for just the two of us... I need to study, I can't be disturbed." Jiang Wanfeng changed the subject, and seeing that there were no familiar faces around, especially Lin Mo, she relaxed a bit.

"Don't I know you? You stick your little bottom up like that, what are you doing..."

"Mom! This is outside! You can't say that!!"

The reunion between Jiang Wanfeng and her mother was just a microcosm of the entire event.

Li Qingran glanced at the parents' group a few more times. Having never experienced family love, she didn't understand the feeling of this kind of reunion.

But you can learn from it.

Compared to families in animation, this is what being a parent in real life is like...

As for why we should learn...

Because she and he have a family, she wants to be the best wife.

Seeing this scene six months ago would probably have made people feel a little sad and envious. No matter how aloof a lonely person may be, they still want to be loved.

Fortunately, she is not alone at her coming-of-age ceremony; she has a wonderful family.

Although the male head of the household is a womanizer and a lecher, he treats her very well and is very gentle.

No...none of these are correct.

Lin Mo's place in her heart is indescribable.

I chose a spot to sit in the formation of Class 2, Grade 12.

Li Qingran glanced at Lin Mo, who was playing around with several boys not far away, and traced the patterns on her ring with her fingertip.

On a whim, I took it off and put it on my ring finger.

The girl lowered her head, her face flushed beneath her bangs, and her gentle smile faded.

She had done this secretly many times... Each time, she felt overwhelmed by an overwhelming sense of happiness...

"Was that... a gift from Lin Mo?"

Suddenly, a vibrant peach-red dress landed beside her. The color, which should have been quite striking, was obscured by a dark black hoodie, which concealed the alluring upper body.

Hu Yu'en was wearing a hoodie, and she didn't want to take off the hood. Her tone was full of caution.

"Ah."

"Oh...nothing else, I'm just a little curious..."

The fox, with a touch of coquettishness, scratched its nose, which was itchy from being scratched by its fur.

I've felt a sour feeling since last night, and it wasn't until I saw the ring on Li Qingran's hand that the sourness turned into a bitter one.

"Ahh~"

"Ah, sorry...it's a bit cold..."

You look like you have a cold.

"No... I just scratched my nose with my hair." Hu Yu'en chuckled sheepishly. "I have to give a speech on stage later... I should have fixed my hair..."

"Okay," Li Qingran said calmly, offering no further persuasion.

"Um...can I touch it? Jie..."

"No."

"Oh, okay... um... sorry..."

"I noticed you didn't go to see your parents, so I sat down here. Ya Jie and the others were all busy, and I didn't know where Xi Xi was... Didn't your parents come either?"

After being cooped up for two days, Hu Yu'en desperately needed to talk to someone.

For some reason, Li Qingran, whom she used to fear the most, didn't seem so scary at this moment...

It is said that people experience a final burst of energy before death; was her courage also a final burst of energy before death...?

"not coming."

"Me too..."

"But Qingran has no parents, only Lin Mo as her family."

"..."

It felt like a knife had been suddenly stabbed into his heart. Even though he knew it was just Li Qingran telling the truth, and that she meant no harm,

The fox couldn't help but arch her back and curl up, her untied skirt behind her resembling her drooping tail.

Only then did she realize that it wasn't courage she had come for... it was just that her masochistic tendencies had kicked in, and she wanted to have Li Qingran prick her fragile heart...

This will make her give up and stop expecting any surprises today.

Coming-of-age ceremony, every girl is vying for it...

What business is it of hers?

"Hmm...it's time to go up and speak..."

Even though she was physically and mentally exhausted, she still had to complete the tasks assigned to her by the school.

However, this is what foxes excel at.

She used to dislike learning dance and music, but her mother forced her to. She didn't want Lin Mo to forget her, but she was also pressured not to bother him...

As a representative of the senior high school students, I had to give a speech on stage, which served as both the opening ceremony for my coming-of-age ceremony and the opening of the New Year's Eve party...

Well, I can only be a speaker at the opening ceremony.

At least I have a speech script; all I have to do is smile fake and read it out as usual.

The girl took off her hoodie, and her red dress instantly attracted countless eyes.

He doesn't have it.

Hu Yu'en realized that if Lin Mo looked over, she would be so happy to meet his gaze.

Take a deep breath and walk onto the stage.

......

"Hello, Mr. Li. Hello, Mr. Li."

"Hey, buddy, it's no problem, it's no problem either, Mr. P is great!"

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Bao? Hey, how are Mr. Bao's parents doing lately?"

"Stop talking, my dad just told me not to play with you guys anymore," Bao Jin said with a worried look.

"Ah..." P-chan, dressed in a suit and tie, and Li Huowang exchanged a glance. "Just became president, and they're already running away?"

"But I just gave my dad a good scolding, and I'm going to play now!! Hehehe! The old man is dumping gold coins!"

Bao Jin sneered, "My dad's just angry that I took his secret stash of money to buy a suit! What a jerk! These days, if fathers don't work hard, how am I supposed to live a good life?!"

"What a wonderful thing, bro!"

"You should call him Boss Bao, not 'brobro,' that's uncultured!"

The group of men, arms around each other's shoulders, dressed in well-dressed suits, were laughing and joking. They were annoying to everyone, but they seemed to be having a good time.

Lin Mo wore the suit sewn by Jie Bao, actually wanting to join in the fun, but not wanting to tarnish Jie Bao's good intentions.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he turned to look for Li Qingran's location.

As soon as he turned around, he noticed that Li Qingran's eyes hadn't left him, like a surveillance camera.

A few steps later,
