Chapter 178 Preparations before the School Anniversary
While Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were sitting on the sofa, arguing with each other over whether to return the cosplay costume, Chen Wenwen, who had just finished a shower, had already walked out of the bathtub wrapped in a towel, with her hair tied up, and sat down in front of the desk humming a little tune.

Obviously she was in a good mood tonight because it was her birthday, but the reason she was in a good mood was not entirely because of her birthday.

But no matter why she was happy, Chen Wenwen decided to take advantage of this excited mood and finish today's chapter in one go.

She placed the strawberry Swiss roll that she had just taken out of the refrigerator in front of her and unwrapped it. She took a small spoon and scooped a small spoonful of it while thinking about what she was going to write today.

What should I write today?

As she took the Swiss roll in her mouth, the sweet feeling melted slightly on the tip of her tongue, and she suddenly had an idea.

On her birthday, the heroine received a cake from the hero?
It may seem a little cliché, but it is also a classic plot in romance novels.

Chen Wenwen put down the spoon and tapped the keyboard lightly with her fingers, thinking to herself that she must not make a mistake in writing the name again today.

……

I forgot where I saw it, probably on the bookshelf in the principal's office. Lu Mingfei once saw a mixed-race philosopher named Kierkegaard saying, "Anxiety is the dizziness caused by freedom."

Although Lu Mingfei didn't understand the philosophical meaning behind this sentence, he felt that he was neither free nor anxious. He was busy and exhausted at school every day, and he felt dizzy.

After helping Chen Wenwen with the club magazine, he immediately started rehearsing fencing with Chu Zihang.

Although the name of the program is fencing, the specific program content is actually more like martial arts. Considering that the fencing in the sports games is high-class, but lacks in viewing and cannot warm up the audience well, the two finally decided to use the traditional Chinese one-handed sword for martial arts performance.

After all preparations were completed, time had unknowingly come to October 10th, and the school anniversary was just around the corner.

There were several minor incidents during this period.

For example, the Shilan Middle School basketball team led by Chu Zihang won the city championship and will participate in the provincial competition next month.

For example, Lu Mingfei temporarily postponed Chen Wenwen's invitation to dinner, not because of any other reason, but because he was indeed too busy recently.

For example, the Shilan Middle School Forum announced a new ranking of school beauties. Su Xiaoqiang still firmly holds the first place, but the second place is no longer the little piano beauty Liu Miaomiao, but the energetic cheerleader Xia Mi.

Moreover, Xia Mi's votes were only slightly less than Su Xiaoqiang's, and that slight difference was probably due to the difference in body shape. Liu Miaomiao fell to third place, and Chen Wenwen was fourth.

For example, Xia Mi finally returned the cosplay costume of Asahina Mikuru and changed into Suzumiya Haruhi's.

It wasn't because of Lu Mingfei's objection that it worked, but because everyone in the anime club unanimously said that she was not qualified to cosplay Asahina. If it weren't for her vitality attribute, they might have persuaded Xia Mi to cosplay Nagato Yuki.

"I hate girls with big breasts the most!" After her idea of ​​cosplaying as Asahina was rejected, Xia Mi complained angrily with a pout, "I hate Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen too!"

Lu Mingfei could only touch Xia Mi's head to comfort her, thinking that it would be a good track for her to play to her strengths. You know, flat chested people are a rare attribute in the second dimension.

……

October 10th is Friday, and it is also the time for the first rehearsal of the school anniversary.

Although it is just the school anniversary, all the teachers and students of Shilan Middle School regard the anniversary as a very important event and rehearse two or three days in advance for each anniversary.

In addition, all classes and clubs of Shilan Middle School also need to seize the last few days to complete the scene arrangement according to their own plans.

The class activity of Lu Mingfei's class is to sell cookies. All they need to do is simply decorate the interior of the classroom to create a dessert shop atmosphere, and then buy a few baking clothes for the students who are responsible for selling cookies.

Compared to Lu Mingfei's class, the class next door, Grade 1 (), was much more generous. The entire classroom was covered with wallpaper from inside to outside, directly replicating the style of the maid cafes in Shibuya and Akihabara. Even the maid costumes were ordered from cospa. All the girls in the class changed into white silk suspender maid costumes, and even had animal ear headdresses.

Even the seniors in the second and third year of high school had heard of the great reputation of Class 1, and they all came over to watch. They couldn’t help but admire that the waves behind pushed the waves ahead, and the waves ahead died on the beach. When it comes to having fun, these juniors born in the 90s are the best at having fun.

Lu Mingfei was also surprised to hear that the class next door had actually renovated itself into a maid cafe. Although he didn't know how they convinced the class teacher, Lu Mingfei was still very curious and mixed in with the crowd to watch.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he squeezed to the door, he was spotted by the very sharp-eyed Lin Huihui.

"Why are you standing at the door, squad leader? Come in and take a look." Lin Huihui greeted.

“Isn’t there a sign on the door saying ‘Closed for business, no admittance’?” Lu Mingfei asked.

"Guests are not allowed in, but you, squad leader, are not a guest."

Lin Huihui winked, then pulled Lu Mingfei's sleeve generously and dragged him into the classroom. Seeing the monitor of Grade 1 () class, who was wearing a male butler's uniform, looking at him with a resentful look, Lu Mingfei could only respond with a forced smile.

The view from inside the classroom was indeed more spectacular than from outside. Lin Huihui and her classmates even prepared pots, pans, and induction cookers, which were piled in the corner of the classroom, creating a school festival scene that could only appear in Japanese comics.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that his class had already lost.

"How is it, squad leader?" Lin Huihui asked, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Lu Mingfei nodded in amazement.

With such high costs, the student union’s funding is definitely not enough, and I don’t know how much Lin Huihui and her class have contributed.

"I didn't ask you if the scenery looked good." Lin Huihui pouted, "I asked you if it looked good now."

Lu Mingfei was startled and saw Lin Huihui holding up the hem of her skirt and turning gracefully in front of him. Then she put her hands on her chest and bowed to Lu Mingfei, her twin ponytails fluttering.

"Master, welcome back."

Lin Huihui raised her head and blinked nervously, "How is it, squad leader, do you feel like a maid?"

Then, she took another half step closer to Lu Mingfei and added quietly, "By the way, monitor, this is the first time I call a boy 'master'. If I don't do it well, you are not allowed to give me a bad review!"

Although Lin Huihui is only a half-step school beauty, perhaps because she has a small face and sweet looks, her entire temperament and style are very much like a Japanese idol. Coupled with the bonus of a maid outfit, she actually has an aura that can compete with Liu Miaomiao and the others.

If it were the Lu Mingfei of the past, there would have been hundreds of big-horned elks passionately bumping into each other in his chest at this moment, making his nose bleed and his face turn red.

But now Lu Mingfei just wanted to complain, thinking, "I'm not a girl. I just gave you mineral water during military training and copied your paper once during the exam. We really don't have that much affection, dear." If you want to ask if you look like a maid, you should ask my eldest brother, Caesar Gattuso. He is a real European aristocratic family with a century-old family history. The maids in his family can form a company. He knows best whether you feel like a maid. I have only seen maids in anime, how can I know if you look like one?
Lu Mingfei didn't know why he had the same bad luck in love as his paralyzed senior brother recently. For a boy, having a lot of luck in love is definitely not a bad thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing either, especially for him now, it is really hard to say it is a good thing.

During the time when he was busy preparing for the school anniversary, he actually thought about the little angel, and thought about how to deal with their relationship, and whether he should confess to her.

But every time I asked the little angel what happened recently, she always said that she was fine, and she and I would argue and make fun of each other as usual.

But it was obvious that these normalities were only on the surface, because in the past half month, Su Xiaoqiang had not gone home with him and Liu Miaomiao after school.

Fortunately, Chu Zihang called at this moment, and Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to slip away, thus avoiding Lin Huihui's aggressive questioning.

He picked up the phone and found out that his senior brother with facial paralysis wanted to see him about the rehearsal for the evening party.

When we arrived at the auditorium of Shilan Middle School, the rehearsal for the evening party was in full swing, with the instructor supervising on the side.

Although Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang secretly changed the program, they could not participate in the rehearsal because the school teachers were present at the rehearsal. The first time they stepped onto the stage of the evening party was the official performance.

Seeing Lu Mingfei coming, Chu Zihang, who was standing next to the stage, waved to him from a distance. Lu Mingfei trotted towards Chu Zihang.

"Wait for me here first." Chu Zihang pointed to the backstage, "I'll go in for a moment."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded.

Chu Zihang lifted the curtain and walked into the logistics passage leading to the backstage. When he came out, a tall girl with a sweet face and delicate makeup followed him.

The girl was wearing a floor-length blue evening gown with sparkling diamonds on her high heels. She looked quite queen-like, but she followed Chu Zihang like a little tail.

Lu Mingfei recognized her immediately. This was the senior sister who was responsible for hosting the school anniversary party. She was a specialty student in broadcasting and hosting. She had won many awards in domestic competitions and was said to have been admitted to the Communication University of China.

The host was still reciting the script backstage when suddenly a shadow approached him. The moment he looked up, he saw Chu Zihang, the junior he had a crush on for two years, walking towards him.

She suddenly felt panicky, thinking that it must be her misunderstanding and that Chu Zihang might have just passed by her, but at the same time she hoped that it was not her misunderstanding... While she was feeling anxious, Chu Zihang stopped in front of her.

"Hello, Senior Sister Wu." Chu Zihang said.

She was stunned for several seconds before she reacted to Chu Zihang's numb "Senior Sister": "Chu, Junior Brother Chu, what's the matter?"

"It's not convenient to talk here." Chu Zihang said, "Can you come out with me for a moment?"

"Ah?" Her heart skipped a beat and she looked around carefully to see if someone was passing by backstage.

She nodded and said, "Okay." Her voice was so nervous that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

Her heart was pounding. She didn't know why Chu Zihang came to see her, but since it was not convenient to talk about it here, it must be a very secret secret.

It is said that there is a legend about the Shilan Middle School anniversary, that is, couples who confess their love to each other during the anniversary will be able to obtain happiness and never separate.

Although it is just an unreliable legend, every year there are still many students who choose the school anniversary day to confess their love.

When she thought of this, her heart began to beat even faster. She lowered her head and followed Chu Zihang out. When she raised her head again, she saw Lu Mingfei, a celebrity in the first grade, standing in front of her.

"This is Junior Brother Lu Mingfei from the first year of senior high school."

After Chu Zihang introduced her, he turned to Lu Mingfei and said, "This is Sister Wu, the host of the school anniversary party."

She suddenly froze, wondering what was going on. Didn't Junior Brother Chu call her out to confess his feelings to her? And what about Junior Brother Lu?

She was still in a daze when she saw Chu Zihang take out a brand new program from his arms and handed it to her, then told her that he wanted to change the program at the school anniversary and perform on stage with this junior brother Lu, but the program application period had passed, so he wanted to adjust the program content privately. He hoped that she could actively cooperate and expressed his most sincere gratitude to her.

She didn't expect that Chu Zihang called her out specifically for this matter, which went to waste all her mental preparation for so long.

"But this is against school rules, right?" she asked.

"It's okay." Chu Zihang shook his head. "I've seen your performance at the provincial host competition, and I believe in you."

She thought to herself, is this a question of ability? Is this a violation of school rules? But when she met Chu Zihang's peach blossom eyes that were staring at her intently, she swallowed back the words of rejection that were rising in her throat, and finally replied with a blushing and heart-pounding "Okay".

Lu Mingfei was watching from the side and was amazed, thinking that his senior brother was the one who had the most romantic relationships. He was so awesome and arrogant that any pretty girl in the school would be his crush.

Especially the pair of peach blossom eyes of the expressionless senior brother, which form a sharp contrast with the cold poker face. They are simply a weapon for female special attacks. Which girl can withstand such a glance from him?

……

After getting the host sister on board, all preparations for the school anniversary were ready.

October 10th was Saturday, and Shilan Middle School had a regular holiday. However, many students still came to school early in the morning.

October 10th and October 29th are both celebration days for the school anniversary. Starting tomorrow, the school anniversary activities of Shilan Middle School will officially begin, but the arrangements for a few classes or clubs have not yet been completed.

Therefore, many students will squeeze in the last day before the school anniversary and work overtime to complete their homework.

Lu Mingfei sat in the activity room of the literature club, flipping through the school magazine that he and Chen Wenwen had produced together.

The first few pages of the school magazine introduce the glorious history of Shilan Middle School, while the middle part is a school anniversary travel guide, which specifically introduces which class and club, and what type of activities were held.

Unfortunately, the Literature Club was one of the few clubs that had not yet finished decorating, so Lu Mingfei had to go to the Literature Club's activity room with Chen Wenwen on his Saturday off to decorate the venue.

It was only after he arrived at the literature club that Lu Mingfei belatedly remembered it.

MD, I don’t seem to be a member of the literature club?
