Chapter 122: Yes, it's you
When it came to the grade host of the school anniversary meeting, everyone thought that the female host was Tong Xiaofei, and Tong Xiaofei herself looked like she was determined to win. However, when the result was made public, everyone was shocked. The female host actually chose Su Li. Su Li was shocked. How could a person who was as quiet and timid as herself be selected as the host? She seriously suspected that the teacher had pronounced the wrong name, but Teacher Taozi said with certainty, "That's right, it's you."
Chen Xi was very happy for her after being surprised, "It's not bad, this is an opportunity to exercise you."
Su Li didn't think so. She was a person who could fall even when she went to the podium and asked her to face all the teachers and students in the school to be the host. She would faint after thinking about it.
Tong Xiaofei said, "Some people don't know what backstage they left!" The voice was not loud, and all the students in the class could hear it, and they all looked at Su Li.
Su Li's face turned red in an instant, and Chen Xi stood up to protect her and said, "Tong Xiaofei, you can't talk nonsense." Tong Xiaofei shut up.
After sitting down, Chen Xi saw Su Li still frowning, and comforted her, "There is naturally a reason why the teacher chose you. It must be because he saw the shining points in you that are different from others."
Su Li didn't think this would be the case, she always felt something was wrong.
Chen Xi said again, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let it go naturally."
"But I really can't." She couldn't imagine what she would look like on the highly anticipated stage, and she would be as ugly as a clown.
Chen Xi said, "Just give yourself a challenge."
Su Li did not accept this challenge. She admitted that she was cowardly and inferior. After school, she went to find Teacher Taozi alone and said bluntly that she was not suitable to be a host at all.
Teacher Taozi also said directly, "Actually, I chose Tong Xiaofei."
Su Li was puzzled after hearing this, "Then why did he choose me in the end?"
Teacher Taozi hesitated and said, "We have been choosing boys for a long time. There are not many candidates for boys in the first year of high school to be hosts. Soon, Xu Chen was selected. Although Xu Chen was a little quieter, his image was very good. He met his height and appearance. After he was elected, he had a requirement."
"What are the requirements?" Su Li vaguely guessed the answer, but still blurted out.
"He asked the host to change it to you."
"If it were me?" Su Li was surprised when she heard this. She remembered Xu Chen's previous experience with him and thought, "Does he like him?" Did he recognize him as the girl he was a child early in the morning? If so, why not say it?
Teacher Taozi said again, "You two are both quiet types, but they are actually suitable for partnering. They will probably have a more tacit understanding and look more harmonious. You say you can't speak ** Is it appropriate to be quiet? Actually, don't worry about this. I will give you lines at that time. Just recite them and read them according to the manuscript, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After Su Li heard what she said, it was hard to refuse.
After she got home, she told Aunt Qin about this. Aunt Qin was very happy, "This is a good thing. Many people don't have such an opportunity yet. You should cherish it. It will be a very beautiful memory in the future."
"But I...I don't think I can do it at all." She was very worried, especially afraid that if she didn't do well, she would be laughed at by her classmates, and even more afraid that if she didn't do well, she would disappoint those who were optimistic about herself.
"If others can, you can do it. You have to believe in yourself. If you don't even believe in yourself, it's really not possible. So set your mindset first and tell yourself that you can." He paused for a moment and continued, "You are all students, not professional hosts. Even if you don't do well enough, everyone will not do anything to you. As long as you do your best and have a clear conscience."
Su Li still felt very stressed after hearing Aunt Qin's words, but things had reached this point. Passive avoidance and constant worry were useless. She encouraged herself, "Just put a good attitude and try to challenge it well." But she was worried about another problem. Her partner was Xu Chen, and Chen Xi knew how she would feel!
And why did Xu Chen ask the female host to change it to herself? Does he don’t like Tong Xiaofei or like him?
She couldn't ask the other party's answer, and could only hope that everything was not what she was worried about.

Time flies very quickly, and it is the day before the school anniversary meeting. It happened to be the weekend. Su Li, accompanied by Chen Xi, went to buy a dress to wear on stage.
Two little girls walked hand in hand in the shopping street. The street was very lively, and the goods in the shops on both sides were dazzling. Chen Xi said first, "It's such a coincidence that I chose you and Xu Chen."
Su Li didn't dare to tell her that Xu Chen asked for a change. She was afraid that she would think too much and wanted to say something, but didn't know what she could say. So she simply stayed silent and looked at a stall selling toys on the side of the road. The stall owner was a girl wearing glasses, a gentle man. It was probably because she was a high school student. She was a little shy when she squatted there, probably because she was the first time she came out to set up a stall.
Su Li admired her courage very much. If she had changed herself, she would definitely not dare to do this. She immediately felt that she was really useless. If she was not outstanding enough, she would never have been selected by the teacher if it were not for Xu Chen's request. The more she thought about it, the more she felt depressed.
Chen Xi spoke next to her, "Fortunately, you like the sunny type of Senior Gu, otherwise you might become my rival. I feel that you and Xu Chen are also very compatible."
Su Li remembered that she and Gu Ling'an were now in a "breakup" state, and also remembered that the reason she fell in love with him at the beginning was because she mistakenly thought that he was the boy she was when she was a child. She felt complicated and didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so she changed, "Let's go to the newly opened snack bar at the end of the street after buying clothes later."
Chen Xi immediately said happily, "Okay, I heard that the fried rice balls in that house are good."
After visiting several stores carefully, the two finally bought a light blue dress. The dress was very simple and had no extra decorations. After wearing it, it had a very unique literary style.
Chen Xi said, "You will become a different scenery on the stage at that time." There was an envy that could not be hidden in your eyes.
