Soon all the dishes were served: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, braised duck feet with lily bulbs, roast duck, braised sea cucumber with scallions, sea bass, bird's nest porridge. No drinks were served, but there was lamb spine hot pot. A large bottle of pomegranate juice was also served, for its beauty and health benefits.
Shen Fang took care of the three women throughout the meal, serving them food and chatting with them. He was a little tired.
After a satisfying meal, Shen Fang took Liu Qianqian home. It was too late, so they didn't go back to school.
Time flies. Shen Fang spends his days rehearsing for his performance at school, and his evenings with Chen Huilin and Fan Xiaopang. Whenever he has free time, he takes the three girls on outings. He's living a wonderful life, enjoying rare moments of relaxation.
It's November 20th now. School starts its holiday the day after tomorrow. Today is the day of the mini-exam, which is being held in the dance studio.
Teachers Wang Hui, Wang Jinsong, Huang Sanshi, Xu Yan, and others took their seats on the stage. The candidates then performed their programs accordingly.
Inside the dressing room, Chen Fang had already donned old-age makeup, with yellow foundation applied to his face, a thick beard on his chin, and even some age spots. He was dressed in clothes typical of an old man from the 1980s in a rural area.
Liu Tianxian's image has also changed drastically. She has a full head of white hair, wears the windproof knitted hat that old ladies like to wear, deliberately makes her face look grayish and yellowish, and even puts a big mole on her face. Her originally white and neat teeth have also been specially coated with black paint. From a distance, she really looks like a toothless old lady.
Today, Liu Tianxian specially invited Liu Xiaoli over, since it was the first time she had worn such an old-fashioned makeup, and she wanted to show it to her mother.
Shen Fang glanced at Liu Qianqian.
"Sisi, you really look like a little old lady, but you're a bit too beautiful."
“Brother Chen Fang, you look funny too, hee hee.”
How am I?
At this point, Deng Chao had a second silicone coating applied to his face, along with makeup techniques. He also had two cotton balls in his mouth, shoulder pads, and stuffed something into his stomach, transforming himself into a middle-aged fat man.
Liu Qianqian couldn't stop laughing at Deng Chao's expression.
"So ugly."
"Xixi, Xiaofang, come here, let me take a picture of you. It's so meaningful!" Liu Xiaoli said, holding up her camera.
Upon hearing this, Shen Fang took Liu Qianqian's hand, and the two leaned against each other, smiling at the camera.
With a click, a flash of white light appeared.
The warm and happy scene of the two was captured by the camera lens.
"Mom, let me see, let me see."
Liu Qianqian snatched the camera and looked at the image on the screen, where she was nestled in Shen Fang's arms, the two of them looking like a happy old couple. She couldn't help but think that if her old age were like the one in the photo, she would be very happy.
Shen Fang also came over, looked at the scene in the camera, and pinched Liu Qianqian's little face. Liu Qianqian and Shen Fang looked at each other and smiled, everything was understood without words.
Then Liu Xiaoli asked Deng Chao to help her take two more photos with Liu Qianqian and Shen Fang, and she also took a few more photos with Liu Qianqian.
"I'll show it to your grandma when I wash it. Our Qianqian will still be so beautiful even when she gets old."
"Xiao Kun, record this video in a bit, and I'll make it into a DVD to keep it safe. Make sure the video is clear."
Shen Kun gave an OK sign.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely HD. I'm a professional!!!"
......
10:30 a.m.
The host came on stage.
"Next up are Shen Fang, Liu Qianqian, and Deng Chao from Class 1, 2002, of the Performing Arts Department, who will perform a skit as torchbearers."
Wang Jinsong looked completely bewildered. "When did a guy named Deng Chao join our class? I didn't know about him!"
Shen Fang and Liu Qianqian were the first to appear. Both of them were hugging each other and walking very slowly, swaying like old men and women.
Seeing the two's elaborate attire, Wang Jinsong and Xu Yan's eyes lit up.
Liu Qianqian, speaking with a strong Northeastern accent, said, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you running around?"
Liu Xiaoli burst out laughing when she heard Liu Qianqian's Northeastern accent.
Shen Fang looked at Liu Tianxian with a worried expression: "Hurry up, they're about to announce you as an Olympic torchbearer, hurry up!"
Liu Qianqian looked impatient and haughty: "What's it to you? Hurry up and put the chair down so I can rest for a bit. You're in such a rush; I didn't want to bring you out."
Liu Qianqian extended her left hand, but Shen Fang didn't react for a long time. Liu Qianqian then patted Shen Fang.
Shen Fang was bewildered: "What are you doing?"
Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at Chen Fang: "What do you mean? Extending your left hand means 'bring water,' extending your right hand means 'shut up,' crossing your left leg means 'rub your leg,' and crossing your right leg means 'give me a kiss.' Remember that, you idiot?"
Shen Fang said dejectedly, "I've been practicing this for half my life, don't worry."
"What are you practicing? Hey, hey,"
Liu Qianqian stretched out her left foot.
Shen Fang looked embarrassed and said, "What are you doing? It's not appropriate in public. What are you kissing?"
Liu Qianqian glared at Chen Fang: "Look carefully, which foot is this!"
Shen Fang blinked for a while and said, "Oh. Honey, when we get to the scene, there are a lot of reporters. Don't cross your legs. Give me some face."
Liu Qianqian ignored Chen Fang: "Cherish this opportunity. After you finish running the Olympic torch relay, you won't be able to touch this leg again."
Shen Fang asked in confusion, "What happened? How did its leg disappear?"
Liu Qianqian lifted her leg: "What kind of leg is this?"
"It's just cold legs."
Liu Qianqian said dejectedly, "Wrong, this is not an ordinary leg, it is the leg of an Olympic torchbearer."
Shen Fang joked, "Ham, huh? With my wife around, you'll never go hungry in this life. I'll rub your belly again later."
Liu Qianqian: "What are you doing?"
Shen Fang: "Another plate of ham sausages, please."
The audience, both on and off stage, were thoroughly entertained. Xu Yan and Wang Jinsong looked at Shen Fang and Liu Qianqian with great surprise. They never expected that these two could produce such a high-quality work. So far, this is already an excellent start to the show. As long as it doesn't fall apart later, it will definitely be a great performance.
