Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 33

The memory is full of afterimages left by time, which cannot be shaken off or driven away. I am afraid that some new stories will have to be filled in to cover everything in the past.

At this time, watching Zhan Ping carefully adjusting the microphone, Ni Manhua believed that he could have a brand new memory in this indelible time.

"Okay, let's try again Manman." Zhan Ping held the microphone stand in her hand and waved to Ni Manhua as cool and handsome as a big star.

The school's microphone changes hands to many people for so many programs every year, and the sound quality is also very average. She was afraid that there would be some performance accident and it would be embarrassing to stand on the stage, so Zhan Ping spent a lot of money to buy two exclusive microphones for them.

"You know, many famous musicians in the industry bring their own microphones on stage. We must follow our predecessors."

"Shouldn't we first look at our strengths?"

"It doesn't matter... Our hardware is already on par, and our strength will wait until we go to college."

Ni Manhua walked over and tried the effect. After all, he spent a lot of money to buy it. The school's microphone was indeed unavailable.

Ni Manhua said: "If you buy a microphone, then I'll ask my mother to order the dress for us, right?"

"No." Zhan Ping stopped Ni Manhua rationally and said, "Old Cui just said some time ago that you can't show off your wealth in school. For such small activities, everyone rents clothes, so we can just rent two sets."

"Well, during the chorus in the first year of high school, the study committee left the phone number of the owner of the off-campus dress rental shop. I will go find him and ask."

There is a shop near the No. [-] Middle School where you can rent dresses. Usually, many classes go there to rent clothes for school activities. However, Ni Manhua went there after school to take a look, but found that there were not many clothes to borrow, and she was not allowed to rent them. satisfied.

There was no other way, so Ni Manhua chose to go to a university town far away, because the provincial art exam examination center is there every year, and there are many similar shops nearby.

Ni Manhua went home for lunch at noon, and then asked the driver to take her to the store there to pay a deposit and get a few albums, and then came back to select them with Zhan Ping.

After school in the afternoon, they were discussing in the stands beside the playground. Wu Bo threatened from behind: "Hey, what are you doing sneakily?"

Zhan Ping jumped up in excitement, holding the album and trying to hit him on the head: "Looking for death, your sister and I are busy with business!"

Ni Manhua also looked back. Lu Guanhai, Lin Xiang, and Luo Zeli were all there. Lin Xiang was holding a basketball in his hand.

After nodding and saying hello, Lin Xiang came over to look at their photo albums: "Choose clothes? Do you two have a show for the school anniversary?"

"Yes," Ni Manhua saw that Lin Xiang was very interested and handed him the album: "I have already selected mine. I will help you, Sister Ping, choose."

After Zhan Ping beat Wu Bo, she came over and said, "Can you let a straight man like this help me choose clothes?"

"We have to listen to the boys' opinions." Wu Bo took the album from Zhan Ping's hand: "Sister Man, we will help you choose, maybe there are better ones."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he handed the album to Lu Guanhai, and then took the last album from Ni Manhua's hand.

There are three albums in total. Now Ni Manhua, Zhan Ping and Luo Zheli are empty-handed and can only wait here for them to choose.

After a while, Wu Bo made his choice first, and he confidently showed them that a red backless halter neck slim fishtail skirt was chosen for Zhan Ping, and another dark blue square-necked puff-sleeved upper body, black large hem and dark blue lotus skirt. The dress with the leaf skirt was chosen for Ni Manhua.

Zhan Ping only glanced at it and almost pinched Wu Bo's nosebleed in the same color number: "Am I going to sing at the school anniversary or dance at Paramount? Did you pay to see me wearing this?"

Wu Bo was so frightened that he backed away and looked at Ni Manhua expectantly.

Ni Manhua took back the album in person: "In your eyes, am I so dignified?"

Wu Bo was looking for novelties, and Lin Xiang's choices were not much better. It was freezing in the autumn night, but Lin Xiang didn't think about it at all, so he chose short skirts with light fabrics.

Finally, it was Lu Guanhai's turn. Lu Guanhai witnessed what happened to the two of them and found a step for himself first: "I'm not very good at aesthetics, so you can just take a look."

Lu Guanhai pointed at the clothes he had chosen. What he pointed to Zhan Ping was a flesh-pink tube top dress. The fabric was very drapey and had many tassels hanging on it. What he pointed to Ni Manhua was a white slipper. The tail skirt is relatively simple in style, but it is decorated with feathers on the shoulders, which looks very dreamy.

Zhan Ping looked at him and said "haha" and sneered: "Manman is the bride? I am the bridesmaid? Do you four want to change into suits and be bodyguards? What are you choosing?"

At this point, Lu Guanhai said a little embarrassedly: "I told you that I'm not very good at aesthetics."

Wu Bo interjected: "Brother Lu can indeed change into a suit that day. He wants to speak as a student representative. He can play the groom. When the show is over, you three can play house."

Before Zhan Ping could curse, Lu Guanhai had already glanced at Wu Bo: "The dean said that in order to show the mental outlook of the No. [-] middle school students, I wear a school uniform."

Ni Manhua guessed that Lu Guanhai wanted to speak as a student representative. Last time, it was because of her that Lu Guanhai gave up the opportunity. He actually wanted to go. How could a boy of this age not have any thoughts in his heart? The vanity of being in the spotlight.

However, Ni Manhua was a little surprised by the dress chosen by Lu Guan. The dress was very similar to the wedding dress Ni Manhua wore when they got married. The wedding dress was also chosen by Lu Guan. He likes things like tassels and feathers that look very dreamy. .

It seems now that he had this kind of aesthetic when he was a child, and it hasn't changed over the years.

Wu Bo thought for a while and then started to come up with bad ideas: "You three are going to perform on stage, and I just thought that Luotuo is fine. How about the three of us hold up a light sign that day and write your names respectively. It would be interesting."

"It's interesting, but it's also embarrassing." Lu Guanhai didn't want to lose this person, so he glanced at the ball in Lin Xiang's hand: "Do you still want to play? If not, I'll go home."

"Come on, it's less than an hour until evening self-study, won't it bother you to go back?"

The four of them walked to the basketball court, and Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping were finally clean.Zhan Ping looked at the dazzling number of brochures and said, "How about we go get something to eat first, and then I can choose my clothes for self-study in the evening?"

"Okay, I've made my selection anyway. I'll just leave the four books for evening self-study at your place."

When she went to the store at noon, Ni Manhua actually had her eye on a light purple dress. She even tried it on. If the boss hadn't said that someone wanted to rent it in the past two days, she would have brought it back directly.

Zhan Ping actually had someone she liked, but she was afraid that Ni Manhua would change her mind.Zhan Ping asked Ni Manhua: "Are you talking about the purple one? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'll set it."

"Okay, I want the white one. I probably won't get married in this life. Let me experience the feeling of wearing a wedding dress first."

Ni Manhua raised his head and glanced at Zhan Ping. Zhan Ping was a non-marriageist, and she studied this matter from high school to university.But before returning to this time and space, Ni Manhua saw two rings at Lai Hongtu's house, one of which was engraved with Zhan Ping's name.

Looking at the naive and determined Zhan Ping, Ni Manhua suddenly wanted to laugh.

In the past, Zhan Ping was sure that she would never get married. In the past, Ni Manhua was sure that she would be happily married and spend the rest of her life with her beloved.

In the eyes of Ni Manhua, who has become an experienced person, these have become a bit ironic.
