Chapter 65 Crown
Lin Chongyang stepped forward, and the two men opened the scroll with a look of suppressed laughter on their faces.
It's a big red banner.
There is a line of golden words printed on it.
"Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School student Jiang Zhao has excellent academic performance, is brave and helpful."
Jiang Zhao stared at the two of them in amazement, while Chen Bailing and the others burst into laughter.
The other customers in the store also looked in their direction.
Lin Chongyang was clearly still unsatisfied. He said, "Class representative, come here."
Jiang Zhao glared at Lin Chongyang, then made up his mind and walked forward to see what other tricks Lin Chongyang had up his sleeve.
Lin Chongyang did not disappoint Jiang Zhao's expectations. He took out something from his pocket and shook it open.
It's a red ribbon.
There are also a few large golden characters printed on it:
"The light of responsibility"
These are the words Hu Yonggang said on the podium during the commendation ceremony.
Jiang Zhao: “?”
I don't know who started the commotion, but the rest of the crowd cheered and applauded, as if they were attending some kind of awarding ceremony.
Lin Chongyang put the ribbon on Jiang Zhao's head. Jiang Zhao couldn't help laughing. She adjusted the ribbon herself and showed the words on it to everyone: "Thank you CCTV, thank you BBC, HBC, ABC."
Chen Bailing took out his phone and said, "Let me record it. Honey, please move forward."
Jiang Zhao slapped her with his eyes, but still took a few steps forward.
Lin Chongyang and Chen Huaiyu were holding a banner at the back, shaking it wildly to create an atmosphere.
Yue Liangjie handed over a pair of chopsticks, and Jiang Zhao took them, pretending they were microphones: "I hope you can learn from me in the future and be..." She glanced at the words on the banner: "Be brave and helpful."
Chen Huaiyu: "Well said!"
Several people applauded.
Jiang Zhao turned his head and asked, "Is it over?"
Lin Chongyang: "There's more, don't worry."
He cleared his throat and said, "Now, please invite Luo Yan to present the Mingyuan Light Award to us."
Jiang Zhao didn't expect that Luo Yan would cooperate with Lin Chongyang and the others in making trouble. She glared at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan acted as if he didn't see it. He took out a box from his schoolbag.
It was a black velvet box, beautifully packaged. He opened the box and found a silver crown inside.
Lin Chongyang was closest and could see the thorny vines and roses decorating the crown, which was very exquisitely crafted.
Even a straight man like Lin Chongyang can see that this is definitely not a cheap item.
Lin Chongyang clearly remembered that they had agreed to find a paper one, like the ones given in birthday cakes, and then they would go through the same process as a king's succession to the throne.
I didn’t expect that the paper-made thing would become real.
Can this thing really be prepared in two days?
It is true that love makes people blind.
But Lin Chongyang's acting skills made him persist in the performance. He continued to recite the lines: "Okay, now please crown our Mingyuan King."
The boy stood up, holding the silver crown with his slender fingers. Jiang Zhao subconsciously lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling.
Luo Yan put the crown in the girl's hair.
Jiang Zhao's face turned completely red. She raised her head and subconsciously reached out to straighten the crown, but ended up grabbing Luo Yan's hand.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Zhao could hear his heart beating wildly.
Chen Bailing pressed the camera button.
"I..." Jiang Zhao spoke hesitantly.
The cell phone rang at the right time, interrupting the ambiguous and awkward atmosphere between the two.
Jiang Zhao hurriedly took out his cell phone.
It’s Jiang Wei calling.
She answered the call, and Jiang Wei said, "Zhao Zhao, I asked Xiao Wang to bring you something. Are you out? Why is no one home?"
Jiang Zhao: "I'm having dinner outside with my classmates."
"Oh... with your classmates? How many people, boys and girls?"
"We have them all. There are a lot of people here."
Jiang Wei finally felt relieved about his white jade cabbage. He asked, "Where is it?"
Jiang Zhao gave an address.
Jiang Wei, hearing that he was not far away, said, "That's perfect. I'll ask Xiao Wang to deliver the cake so you can share it with your classmates."
Jiang Zhao said "oh", said goodbye to Jiang Wei, and hung up the phone.
"My dad sent a cake over." Seeing everyone looking at her, Jiang Zhao scratched her head: "Well... actually... today is my birthday."
"Ah?!" Everyone was in an uproar.
Chen Bailing slammed the table and stood up: "Wife, why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Chongyang and Chen Huaiyu looked at the banner they were holding, then at the bright ribbon on Jiang Zhao and the shining crown on his head, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
He and Chen Gou organized a big event on the class representative's birthday.
Lin Chongyang pulled Luo Yan to sit down and protested, "Shen Yan, did you know that the class representative's birthday was today? Are you giving him a gift just because he's having fun with me?"
"It's okay." Luo Yan said calmly: "You ate so much today, remember to make up for it later."
Lin Chongyang: “…”
He turned around and elbowed Chen Huaiyu: "Did you hear that? Remember to make it up to me later."
After a while, the waiter came over and verified Jiang Zhao's identity.
Then, several waiters came over pushing a cart.
The cake had been unpacked and placed in the car. It was a chocolate-topped cake with icing sprinkled into snowflakes. There was a small sign on it that said "Happy Birthday."
The cake looks very expensive, and even the matching tableware is made of stainless steel.
But these were far less eye-catching than the Happy Birthday sign held by the waiter.
Jiang Zhao: “…”
I forgot, this is Haidilao.
Haidilao cannot allow anyone to celebrate birthdays secretly.
Several waiters gathered together and sang Happy Birthday to Jiang Zhao.
Lin Chongyang and his friends fully demonstrated what it means to "have two tables of monkeys crying non-stop". They sang Happy Birthday louder than the waiters, attracting the attention of people in the restaurant, and some even took pictures with their mobile phones.
Jiang Zhao deeply experienced what it meant to "feel like sitting on pins and needles, having a thorn in one's back, and having a fishbone stuck in one's throat."
How can a person suffer social failure twice in just half an hour?
In the end, most of the meat ordered by Lin Chongyang was eaten.
The leafy greens ordered by Chen Bailing remained almost the same.
Pei Zhiyu and Su Chen will continue their tutoring in the afternoon, and Yang Ziwen has to go home for something.
Yue Liangjie asked: "Are you going back to school directly?"
Chen Bailing tried to finish the dishes she ordered while looking at her phone: "I don't want to go back, it's too early."
She scratched her head and said, "There's an escape room in the mall next door. Do you want to go?"
In 2013, escape rooms were just beginning to gain popularity.
Jiang Zhao: "What type?"
Chen Bailing took a look and said, "It's called Nanshan Old Stories. It seems to be a decrypted book. I think the place is quite big. It seems very interesting."
Jiang Zhao asked Luo Yan: "My deskmate, are you going?"
"We have to go! We have to go!" Chen Huaiyu said, "Our table is made up of the smartest students from the Class of 2016 in Xincheng. We can't be unable to solve it, right?"
Lin Chongyang couldn't stand being provoked: "Go, go, go, if you can't figure it out, you're a dog."
