Hearing the footsteps, Ling Chuan turned around, and when he saw it was her, a smile suddenly broke out on his stern face.
"Wife, I'll bring you food."
During the rehearsal, Shao Mo got bored of waiting so she quietly called Ling Chuan on her cell phone. During the call, she inadvertently complained that the rehearsal schedule was too tight and she might not have time to eat dinner. He took her words to heart and specially prepared dinner for her.
"What delicious food did you make?"
"Braised beef with tomatoes, and steamed dumplings with cabbage and pork."
They are all her favorite foods.
Seeing her take the thermos, Ling Chuan said, "Go eat now. I'm leaving first."
Shao Mo freed one hand to hold him, "Why are you leaving? Since you are here, come with me to watch the welcome party, and we will go home together in the evening."
Ling Chuan showed some anticipation and nervousness on his face, "Can I go?"
"Of course you can. The party is open to the public and there are people from other schools coming to watch. One more person won't make a difference. Let's go to the classroom to eat first. After that, I still need to put on makeup and change clothes."
"good."
Although it was the end of get out of class, there were still some students lingering in the teaching building. Shao Mo pulled Ling Chuan all the way to the classroom, attracting many people's attention.
"Who is the boy with Shao Mo? He doesn't seem to be from our department."
"I haven't seen him. I think he's her boyfriend. I've heard from people in the biology class that Shao Mo's boyfriend is very tall and handsome."
"But I heard that her boyfriend never went to college and doesn't even have a formal job. I don't know what she is thinking when she has such good conditions."
"Who knows?"
Zhong Xiaochen stood at the door of the classroom, watching Shao Mo and Ling Chuan walking towards them hand in hand, with a teasing smile on his face.
Shao Mo briefly introduced the two people, and then the three of them returned to the classroom to continue eating.
Knowing that Ling Chuan had not eaten yet, Shao Mo simply placed the food Ling Chuan had sent in the middle, plus the two meals Zhong Xiaochen bought from the cafeteria, and the three of them ate together.
Zhong Xiaochen was full of praise for Ling Chuan's craftsmanship.
After the meal, Ling Chuan cleaned the table and dishes, while Shao Mo took out her dress and went to the bathroom to change.
Zhong Xichen went with her and whispered to her, "Shao Mo, you are so lucky. Your partner is so handsome, caring and cooks delicious food. You will be able to enjoy happiness after you get married."
Hearing the word "marriage", Shao Mo hesitated, "Actually, I'm already married."
Zhong Xiaochen was very surprised, "Is it true? With whom?"
Meeting Shao Mo's speechless gaze, Zhong Xiaochen finally reacted, "Ah, your partner is actually your husband?"
"Well, we got married last year, but I kept it a secret because I didn't want people discussing my private life."
Zhong Xiaochen nodded in understanding, "That's right. People like us who are in college usually don't get married so early. You are good-looking and have a good family background. If people knew that you got married so early, they would definitely speculate."
"Yes, so please keep it a secret for me."
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and won't even tell my parents."
Shao Mo is funny.
After a month of contact, she had a good impression of Zhong Xiaochen in all aspects and felt that he was a friend worth continuing to associate with.
When Shao Mo changed her clothes and returned to the classroom, she found that the class monitor Wang Dan was also there, talking to Ling Chuan.
"Shao Mo, have you changed your clothes?"
When Wang Dan saw the skirt she was wearing, his eyes were filled with surprise and envy.
Wang Dan has a good personality and ability, but her appearance is very ordinary, she is a fat girl.
Wang Dan came to give her a ticket for the welcome party. The seats for the welcome party were divided into inner and outer areas. No tickets were required for the outer area, but it was far from the stage. The seats in the inner area were limited. Peking University students could enter with their student ID cards, but people outside needed tickets.
Each class has five tickets. Shao Mo had already taken one, but gave it to Zeng Fang.
When Shao Mo learned that Wang Dan had given her another ticket, she was grateful but also had some concerns.
There were five tickets and she took up two. She was not afraid of being accused of taking up resources, but she was afraid of causing trouble for Wang Dan.
From ancient times to the present, most disputes are caused not by scarcity but by inequality.
Seeing her concerns, Wang Dan smiled and explained: "This ticket is not from our class. The counselor knew that your date was coming, so he got a ticket from somewhere else and asked me to bring it to you."
Shao Mo breathed a sigh of relief when she learned the origin of the ticket.
"You're welcome. The party is about to start. Put on your makeup."
"good."
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Shao Mo opened her backpack and took out a palm-sized mirror and a lipstick.
She applied bean paste red lipstick in front of the mirror, then used her fingertips to apply lipstick and evenly blended it from her cheeks to the ends of her eyes. Finally, she used an eyebrow pencil to outline her eyebrows, and finally used an ebony hairpin to tie her hair into a low bun. The whole process took less than five minutes.
It was not until she put away the mirror, lipstick and eyebrow pencil and said, "I'm fine" that Wang Dan and Zhong Xiaochen came to their senses.
"Momo, are you done with your makeup?"
Shao Mo blinked at the two of them, then smiled and said, "Well, doesn't it look good?"
Zhong Xiaochen shook his head, then quickly nodded, "It looks good! Shao Mo, your makeup technique is so weird, the blush is even applied to the eyes, it feels a bit weird but also very beautiful."
"This is called tipsy makeup, and it was also called drunken makeup in the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing her explanation, Zhong Xiaochen and Wang Dan both showed an expression of sudden realization.
Shao Mo wore a burgundy mini dress with a red bean paste makeup, she was so beautiful.
It was almost 6:30 at this time, and the four of them went to the gymnasium to attend the welcome party.
Zhong Xiaochen and Wang Dan walked in front, Shao Mo and Ling Chuan walked behind. It was autumn now, and the temperature in the evening was relatively cool. Shao Mo wore a windbreaker over her dress, so she didn't feel cold.
“Does it look good?”
On the way, seeing Ling Chuan turning his head to look at her frequently, Shao Mo couldn't help but ask.
"nice."
Hearing the man's answer, Shao Mo couldn't help but laugh.
Her skin was naturally fair, and after putting on makeup it looked even more white, with red lips. Her gentle smile exuded a charming charm that could captivate everyone, and the eyes of several boys passing by were fixed on her.
Noticing that many boys around her were looking at her, Shao Mo put away her smile and took the initiative to hold Ling Chuan's arm.
After arriving at the gymnasium entrance, Shao Mo asked Zhong Xiaochen and Wang Dan to go in first, while she and Ling Chuan waited for Zeng Fang at the door.
We agreed to meet at 6:30, but in the blink of an eye it was already 6:45 and there was no sign of Zeng Fang.
Seeing that the party was about to begin, Shao Mo hesitated whether to go in first, but two people she was not expecting appeared in front of her.
"Dad, grandma, why are you here?"
"If you have a performance, of course we have to come and support you." Shao Lin said with a smile, "You have been standing here, aren't you waiting for us?"
Shao Mo blushed, "No, I'm waiting for Fangfang."
Shao Lin pretended to be disappointed, "Oh, so you're not waiting for me."
"Dad, don't worry about the process, the result is that I waited for you."
Mrs. Shao smiled and took over the conversation, "That's right, it should be about time, Momo, your friend hasn't arrived yet?"
Shao Mo was about to speak when she saw someone running towards her from the corner of her eye.
It was already dark and the vision was not clear, but judging from the height and body shape, it must be Zeng Fang.
Following her gaze, Shao Lin and Mrs. Shao also looked back.
The black shadow came closer and closer and soon ran in front of Shao Mo. Who else could it be but Zeng Fang.
"Hu, Momo, I'm sorry, huhu, I'm late, huhu..."
In front of Shao Lin and Mrs. Shao, Shao Mo didn't ask Zeng Fang why she was late, so she said, "It's okay, it's not 7 o'clock yet, you should catch your breath first."
"Oh, okay."
After taking a few deep breaths, Zeng Fang's breathing slowly stabilized, and she saw Shao Lin and Mrs. Shao standing beside her.
“This is my dad, and this is my grandma.”
After hearing Shao Mo's introduction, Zeng Fang stood up straight with a start, then bowed 90 degrees to the two of them.
"Uncle, grandma, hello!"
