Xie Wei, by chance, learned from a system that his world had a 'Child of Destiny', and that he, Xie Wei, was like a minor supporting character with little screen time in a novel within this...
When introducing someone, you need to turn around and greet the students in the audience.
When Xie Wei was introduced, the audience erupted in screams and applause.
Xie Wei sat down, but he felt that he was overstepping his bounds.
Suddenly someone sat down to his left, the first seat from the door. Xie Wei didn't pay attention and picked up the water on the table to take a sip.
Suddenly, someone leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Xingzhi is as popular as ever."
Upon hearing the voice, Xie Wei knew that the person was Bai Shiying. He turned his head slightly and saw that it was indeed her.
"You were invited too?"
"No, I came here because you were here."
Xie Wei nodded. It wasn't surprising that the Bai family knew his whereabouts, given their methods.
To his surprise, Bai Shiying, who should be quite busy these days, was here instead.
The two spoke in hushed tones. Bai Shiying's warm breath brushed against Xie Wei's ear, and he rubbed his ear, feeling a slight itch.
The process was the same as before. The person sitting in the aisle was indeed the one who was going to give a speech. He gave a lot of motivational speeches, and they were indeed very good. The students in the audience were stirred up.
Xie Wei should have been listening attentively to the speaker out of politeness, but he had no intention of doing so; the two men's hands were intertwined under the table.
After the speech, the principal gave a speech, followed by a performance. Unlike the long and tedious speeches under the national flag, the principal's speech lasted only five minutes.
Next up is the performance.
The students on stage exuded youthful energy, which is exactly what they should be like at their age.
Feeling his fingertips being pinched by the person next to him, Xie Wei turned his head and heard a plaintive voice.
Is it pretty?
This sound seemed to transport Xie Wei back to the New Year's Eve party of his senior year of high school, where Bai Qianqian, sitting next to him, asked people in the same tone.
"You're all adults, why are you jealous of kids?" Xie Wei said with amusement.
Bai Shiying seemed not to have heard the answer she wanted and did not appreciate the gesture, even trying to let go of her hand.
Xie Wei's large hand immediately enveloped hers, and he slowly said, "I watched the performance out of politeness, it has nothing to do with whether it was good or not."
"And you just sitting here, doing nothing, is enough to make my heart flutter."
That's how Xie Wei answered her on the night of the New Year's Eve party.
