"Hehe, I'm being a bit too enthusiastic, but you can't keep hiding like this. There are so many relatives and friends waiting for you outside."
"It's alright, let my parents handle it. I'll go out after the banquet starts."
"Alright, there were indeed a lot of people today, and it was a bit difficult to handle. My parents and I spent half the day smiling and trying to keep up, and our mouths were almost cramping from smiling so much."
