Chapter 296: We, Are Creating!

~7 min read 1,346 words

Things happened in the morning, and after attending classes all morning, because she had missed one session, she began reading as soon as she had time to make up for the content of that class.

"I don't know, it must be the top scorer of the College Entrance Examination or something," Jiang Yun Duo said.

Now that she was gradually getting familiar with everyone, the little girl was not as easily shy anymore.

Zhang Jia sighed, "Whoever it is, it is; anyway, it's not us, the freshman representative! Looking forward to it~"

In the dormitory, apart from the sound of turning pages, there was no one else talking.

Tie Zhu was finally full and was sleeping soundly at this moment, giving Zhou Ruo Ran time to review the content in her books.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so everyone followed the order of their classes and came directly to the Assembly Hall.

"Nan Nan, where are you going? The teacher said not to walk around," Jiang Yun Duo looked at An Yinan, who was bending over to leave, and hurriedly reminded her.

An Yinan said helplessly, "I have something to do."

Then she left the crowd and came to the backstage.

Liu Jianguo asked, "Did you bring the speech script?"

An Yinan rubbed her brow, "I memorized it."

"You memorized it?" Liu Jianguo raised his voice.

Seeing An Yinan nod, Liu Jianguo didn't know what to do for a moment.

He had originally wanted to help look over the speech script, so that if there were parts to modify, he could fix them in advance and get familiar with it; but she was something else, she didn't even bring the script, so what was he supposed to fix?

"Pay attention to the content, pay attention to the scale, pay attention to..." Liu Jianguo had no choice but to urge her.

An Yinan made an OK gesture, "Don't worry."

Liu Jianguo was helpless; if only he could stop worrying. Suddenly, he had a premonition: would future university teaching life be full of excitement? Why did he feel so uneasy?

"Please welcome the Principal to the stage." A thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The Principal was an acquaintance; he was there when they went to Quanshui Village back then.

An Yinan found a stool and waited quietly.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Liu Jianguo hurriedly returned to his class's Regional area; today was the opening ceremony, and there couldn't be any accidents.

The Dean spoke eloquently, whether it was reminiscing about the past, talking about the school's history, or giving messages to the students, he spoke for a full twenty minutes.

"Student An, it's time to prepare," an experienced Tutor came over to remind her.

An Yinan stood up, followed the Tutor to the entrance, tidied her clothes slightly, and a smile curled at the corners of her mouth. Her heart was filled with complex emotions—both excited and calm.

"The person coming up next is very impressive. She is the national top scorer in liberal arts, a prodigy who only had two points deducted from her total College Entrance Examination score. Now, please welcome the freshman representative—An Yinan!" the host introduced with high spirits.

Jiang Yun Duo picked at her ear, "Did I hear that wrong?"

In different Regional areas, Zhang Jia, Zhou Ruo Ran, and Liu Er Ya all widened their eyes.

Same name? That shouldn't be; Nan Nan's name was not common.

As for the friends from Quanshui Village, their faces were full of smiles, feeling a sense of shared honor.

"Hello everyone, my name is An Yinan." An Yinan stood on the stage with a faint smile. After introducing herself, she scanned the entire hall, and the whole hall fell silent.

"It is an honor to join the big family of Beijing University."

"I still remember back then, I said to my friends, 'My goal is in Beijing, in that supreme institution of learning.' I still remember the incredulous looks on my friends' faces."

"But today, they have all come here, to the supreme institution they dared not imagine back then. Human potential is infinite; as long as you dare to dream and dare to act, it is not impossible to achieve."

"Our country is progressing, it is awakening,"

"When the fierce tiger roars, all beasts submit."

When she said this, there was an uproar below. The Principal of Beijing University had a brilliant light in his eyes, Liu Jianguo was full of gratification, and the students were filled with longing, with desire for the future, and with visions of the country's prosperity.

"And today, Mother Huaxia, your future, we, the new generation, are creating!"

We are creating!

In an instant, An Yinan's words resonated with many patriots and resonated with the older generation.

Media reporters were already at the opening ceremony; they recorded the sentences in their notebooks and also in their hearts.

Feeling the long-lost boiling of blood.

This era is an era of boiling blood, but it is also a numb era.

But the passion in people's hearts will never disappear; it just waits to be activated.

An Yinan left that stage, but her words were like seeds sown, quietly waiting for them to bloom.

She returned to the backstage and saw the Tutor she didn't know looking at her with gratification. She smiled faintly; patriotism has never been one person's theme, it is the common melody of every citizen.

An Yinan did not return to the hall; she went straight back to the dormitory, quietly picked up her textbook, and began to study it carefully.

"Nan Nan, you're back?" Jiang Yun Duo opened the dormitory door and then saw An Yinan.

"Nan Nan is back?" Zhang Jia also returned, clearly having heard Jiang Yun Duo's voice.

Zhou Ruo Ran and Liu Er Ya didn't speak, but all four of them squeezed into the dormitory.

"You didn't even tell us at noon," Jiang Yun Duo said coquettishly.

An Yinan smiled, "Wasn't I trying to give you a surprise?"

"It was a shock," Zhang Jia couldn't help but interject.

When they heard the name, their hearts were filled with shock, and it wasn't until they saw that familiar figure on the stage that they were sure it was Nan Nan.

And her words, her sentiments, deeply moved this group of people.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

After Zhang Jia opened the door, she saw several familiar people. These people were Nan Nan's friends; they must be those friends she mentioned in her speech script.

Acquainted since humble beginnings!

"Come in quickly," Zhang Jia stepped aside.

Zhao Qiuhua, Xie Yuanyuan, and Li Xiue walked in, and seeing the state of the dormitory, asked, "Are you discussing something important? Did we come at a bad time?"

After all, everyone's expression was still somewhat serious.

"No, we were just interrogating Nan Nan; she wouldn't tell us at noon," Jiang Yun Duo said, pouting with a hint of grievance.

Zhao Qiuhua laughed out loud, "That's just her temperament. After you've known her for a while, you'll understand. She may seem like a strong person, but she is very lazy—too lazy to fuss, too lazy to argue. Unless you cross her bottom line, she will endure whatever she can."

Li Xiue walked over to An Yinan's side, "Being naughty again?"

Qiu Hua didn't say it, but Nan Nan was also someone with a bit of a mischievous streak!

This time it was Xie Yuanyuan who spoke, "We haven't seen Qian Zhao and Xie Shuyang yet; we're planning to get together when we're ready to rest."

An Yinan thought about the time, "You all arrange it, just tell me the time when it's set."

"Let's go to that courtyard; I'll give you the keys, I forgot last time." An Yinan went to the upper bunk, took down three keys, and gave one to each of them. That courtyard was their place, their shared home.

"Alright, we also need to discuss the matter we mentioned last time," Zhao Qiuhua said.
