Chapter 175 Celebration 1
Alia nodded and said, "Actually, if he doesn't interfere with my thoughts in the future, I'm not so opposed to marrying him. I can get rid of the troubles of my family."
Zhang Wei thought her idea was too naive, so he persuaded her:
"But you don't like him, he will marry someone else, and he doesn't respect you. You have already entered the world of normal people. Don't you want to live according to your own wishes?"
"Besides, he might seem reasonable now, but what if he changes his mind after you get married? With your brother's help this time, I don't think he'll help you a second time."
Alia was silent for a while before she slowly said, "I'll think about it again. I probably won't go home until my father calms down. We'll talk about it later."
When Zhang Wei heard her say this, he knew that although she had the courage to fight against the traditional family, she was still too young and not resolute enough, and was more likely to be kidnapped by her family's ideas.
However, it was not easy for Zhang Wei to influence her thoughts. She had already expressed her thoughts and suggestions. It depended on what Alia thought. She had to make her own decisions about her own affairs.
Christmas is coming soon. This year, the Christmas atmosphere in Devon is much stronger than in previous years. Perhaps it is because there are more and more girls' students in the school, and a wide variety of celebration activities are taking place everywhere.
The Christmas celebration, jointly organized by all school clubs and led by the Student Union, is the largest event among them, mobilizing almost all students in the school.
When Zhang Wei was going in and out of the dormitory, she noticed that everyone seemed to be in a hurry, no more relaxed than her. Zhang Wei knew that this was the first performance report of each club, and everyone was eager to go.
Then everyone received an even more shocking and tense news: due to the enthusiasm of all students, the school committee decided that both the boys' and girls' schools would participate in this event together.
Moreover, the event was not held at Devon School because the school did not have a large stage that could accommodate all the students.
The school rented a large theater on the Seine River as the venue and invited all students' parents to attend.
Emma only found out about this when she called Zhang Wei.
"Vera! I received the invitation. Your father and I will be there on time. By the way, Manny said he is free too and can go with us!"
"What invitation letter?" Zhang Wei was full of questions.
"It's your school's Christmas celebration. What program are you participating in? Can you tell me in advance?"
"Is it from the school? I'm afraid my show will disappoint my mom. It's a musical."
Zhang Wei felt a little annoyed. If she had known that the Wilsons were coming to watch, she would at least have fought for the lead actress in the theater, which would have been the second female lead.
By then the whole family will know that she is playing an old lady, which is a bit embarrassing. You can imagine how Namier will laugh...
"No, Vera, how could you think that! A musical! How wonderful! I never knew you were in a musical! Oh, this is such a surprise! I'm going to tell Charles!"
"Don't tell me the role now, leave it as a surprise. I look forward to seeing you on stage!"
Everyone heard the news during dinner. It seemed that the school agreed to send the email. It was obvious that everyone was very excited and full of anticipation, looking forward to their parents seeing a different version of themselves on the stage.
Except for one person, Alia.
When Zhang Wei heard the news, Alia's face turned pale. She guessed Alia's worries - her parents should come.
She will have to face it sooner or later, and Zhang Wei can't do anything to help.
She felt a little overwhelmed when she thought that she was about to play a wealthy lady in a theater with thousands of people.
And this scene in the school obviously scared everyone. President Anna told everyone that the rehearsals of the musical would be increased from twice a week to three times a week.
Zhang Wei was even more devastated. Her other club's instrumental orchestra also suddenly announced that they would participate in this celebration. Moreover, they had only practiced once a week before. The orchestra gave out the music scores and everyone practiced together once or twice and that was it.
Maybe no one wants to give up this opportunity to show off in front of their parents and everyone, so many clubs have joined temporarily, and Zhang Wei is really overwhelmed now.
So she could only prioritize the rehearsal of the musical theatre club. After all, she had a basic understanding of the flute. She just needed to familiarize herself with the score and find the right notes for the interlude. That was it. Every afternoon after her classes was occupied by rehearsals.
During this period, she had no time to care about Alia. She went out early and came back late, and rarely saw her in the dormitory.
Zhang Wei spent much less time on studying. He even asked for two weeks' leave from his laboratory work. Everything would be done after the Christmas celebrations were over.
But they couldn't rehearse until the day before Christmas because the school holiday started on December 20th and lasted until mid-January.
So the school's Christmas celebration actually starts on the afternoon of December 19th, because the school will not take up everyone's Christmas time in any way.
During this period, Zhang Wei felt that the whole school was in chaos. On December 19th, Zhang Wei finally felt relieved.
She got up very early, but she was not the first one. Singing, musical instruments, recitation, etc. came from the next room. It seemed that everyone was having a hard time.
That day, Zhang Wei finally got the program list. Seeing that there was a long string of other programs between her two programs, she knew that she didn't need Speed anymore.
Grandma Mia gave them the program while they were having breakfast. At this time, no one cared about dining etiquette and just watched the program while eating.
"How many of you are there?" Hayat asked Zhang Wei while looking at her.
"It's okay, there are only two." Compared to others, Zhang Wei's two programs are not the main roles, so the pressure is relatively less.
"That's okay. Although there are only two of us, I am one of the six female hosts."
Zhang Wei only found out about this. Looking at Hayat's beautiful figure and face, as well as her good temperament and eloquence, she felt that she could indeed be a qualified host.
"Did you hire a personal makeup artist?" Butch asked.
Zhang Wei was shaking his head when he noticed that Tracy, Hayat and Nicola all nodded. He suddenly realized that he seemed not to take it seriously enough.
"Our club has hired a makeup artist," Zhang Wei said when she noticed they were all looking at her.
Hayat said immediately, "How can that be possible? With so many people here, they definitely won't be very attentive. Then we'll see who finishes first and then goes to do the makeup for you and Queenie."
"No need for that, right?" Queenie had the same idea as Zhang Wei. After all, she could just change into something casual when the time comes. She wasn't the main character.
"No!"
