…

On National Day,

The sun is shining and the air is filled with festive joy.

As soon as Xu Mengyao opened her eyes, she dialed Huang Wenrong's number.

"Sister, are you guys performing tonight?"

"Yes, we will dance for three hours in Tiananmen Square tonight." Huang Wenrong's voice sounded a little nervous, but more of anticipation.

"So long? Then remember to bring some candy with you. Put one in your mouth before going on stage to avoid hypoglycemia." Xu Mengyao reminded him worriedly.

"Okay, I've got it. Are you going to see the Oriental Pearl Tower now?" Huang Wenrong was curious.

"No, the lights are on at night. We'll go in the afternoon. I was afraid you'd gather early, so I called you to give you some gas."

"Oh, I'm actually quite nervous when I talk about this..." Huang Wenrong's voice trembled slightly.

"It's okay, you are the best, we all believe you can do it!" Xu Mengyao encouraged firmly.

The two chatted for a long time until Xu Mengyao heard the noise coming from downstairs and hung up the phone reluctantly.

After going downstairs, the living room was already a warm scene.

Mother Wu was sitting on the sofa, with a local TV program playing on TV. She was watching and humming cheerful songs, with a happy smile on her face.

"Miss, get up. I cooked some Yuanxiao and will serve you a bowl." When Aunt Wu saw Xu Mengyao, she immediately got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Taking the bowl, Xu Mengyao asked softly, "Is Xiaomei still awake?"

"How could that be? Xiaomei helped me make these Yuanxiao. After she finished eating, she went out with Xiao Zhang, saying she wanted to buy some snacks for you to eat in the evening." Aunt Wu replied with a smile.

"Auntie Wu, do you want to go with your family to watch the lighting ceremony of the Oriental Pearl Tower today? You can take a bus with us in the afternoon." Xu Mengyao suggested.

Mother Wu shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "I'm old and weak, so I won't join in the fun. I'm fine watching TV at home. You young people should go watch more. I bought some spring rolls and rice cakes and fried them this afternoon. You can take them and eat with your classmates."

"That's great! They say every day that your cooking is better than the ones in restaurants."

Xu Mengyao's sincere praise made Wu Ma smile even more brightly.

5 p.m.

Xu Mengyao set off with various delicious snacks prepared by Wu Ma and Xiaomei.

They originally thought that they could reach their destination quickly by car, but the crowds on the road far exceeded their expectations, especially on Nanjing East Road, where it was almost impossible to move.

After some twists and turns, when they finally arrived at the Peace Hotel, it was already six o'clock.

The afterglow on the horizon dyed the sky golden, adding a touch of solemnity and mystery to this historic building.

As soon as Xu Mengyao got out of the car, she heard the driver, Uncle Zhang, say, "Miss, I'm going to find a parking spot. Just call me before you go back."

"Uncle Zhang, you don't have to wait in the car all the time. We will be back later, you can go shopping too."

Xu Mengyao responded considerately, then turned and walked towards the hotel gate.

I saw four people already waiting at the dormitory door.

"Hey, where are my second and third sisters?" Xu Mengyao was very confused because she didn't see the most active Zhang Shufen and Han Liyun.

"We set out separately. One, two, and three took the bus. I rode my bike to take Zhou Zhou, and Baozhu came directly from home." Li Yan explained.

"That's not right. My eldest sister is not here. Where are the other two?" Xu Mengyao became even more confused.

"The bus stops near the school were full of people and the buses were packed. We waited for several buses but couldn't get on. Seeing that the time was almost up, they pushed me onto the bus and asked me to come and meet you first." Wang Guiyun added with a helpless smile on her face.

"By the way, Xiaoqi, we just met your uncle at the door. He told you to go to the restaurant to find him when you get there." Baozhu said and pointed towards the restaurant.

"Okay, then Xiaomei and I will go say hello first, and you guys can wait for my second and third sisters for a while." After Xu Mengyao finished speaking, she pulled Xiaomei towards the restaurant.

In the restaurant, Huang Shao was sitting facing them. When he saw them coming over, he raised his hand to signal.

"Fourth Uncle, you're finally back." Xu Mengyao walked forward with a hint of joy in her voice.

"Yes, we are almost done. Would you two like to come and watch the lighting ceremony?" Huang Shao asked with a smile.

"Yes, I have made an appointment with my roommates. Are you coming to see the Oriental Pearl Tower too?" Xu Mengyao asked curiously.

"They want to see it." Huang Shao smiled and pointed at the person sitting opposite.

"Let me introduce you. These two are Master Lin and Master Fang from Gangcheng. These are my two nieces."

The first person to stand up was a man wearing an oversized white shirt with the buttons unbuttoned to his chest, revealing a low-necked white T-shirt of the same color underneath. A black rope necklace hung around his neck as an embellishment.

The hairstyle is the classic Hong Kong style fluffy, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

He smiled gently and introduced himself: "Hello, Lin Xiaohe."

Another boy wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with a dark blue windbreaker on the outside also stood up. His hair was slightly curly and he looked a little lazy.

"I'm Fang Henian, you can call me Harish."

Xu Mengyao held Lin Xiaohe's outstretched hand,

He said politely, "Hello, Huang Wenjuan, welcome to Haicheng."

Xiaomei shook hands with Fang Henian and introduced herself simply: "Zhang Xiaomei."

"Harish and Xiaohe are currently studying in Country A. They flew here specially to witness our tallest tower in Asia. Wenjuan and Xiaomei are currently studying at Dan University." Huang Shao continued to introduce.

Fang Henian looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows in appreciation: "Mr. Huang's family are all top students."
