But what did the coordinates mean?

Cheng Ling held the paper with the coordinates and stared blankly for a while.

“Don’t you have to go to class today? Since we’ve cracked it, you can take your time to find it.”

Only then did Cheng Ling come back to her senses. She still had a mission today. After all, she had promised to do it, so she still had to do a good job as the host.

Therefore, Cheng Ling put the piece of paper in her school bag and rushed to Yuya First High School.

The school had prepared the outfits for the four hosts in black and white.

The two English hosts, Cheng Ling and Ding Yu, were wearing black. Cheng Ling was wearing a black sequined strapless dress. In contrast, Cheng Xiao was wearing a white strapless dress.

The black dress contrasted Cheng Ling’s snow-white skin.

Under the lights of the stage, it seemed to be glowing.

Cheng Ling’s neck was very slender, like an elegant swan. As soon as she appeared on stage, she won the cheers of the entire audience.

“Is that Cheng Ling on stage? I’ve long heard that she’s the host this time. She’s so beautiful!”

“That’s right. She looks so good in this dress! I feel like Cheng Xiao beside her is being outdone by her.”

“Indeed, Cheng Xiao’s dress isn’t very eye-catching, and her complexion isn’t considered fair. It makes her look even darker.”

Everyone was discussing among themselves.

According to the procedure, Cheng Xiao and Gu Nan would recite in Chinese first, followed by Ding Yu and Cheng Ling reciting in English.

The four of them had rehearsed many times in private, so they were very well-coordinated. Cheng Ling practically memorized the lines with muscle memory. Her fluent and standard pronunciation made all the students present applaud.

Amidst the applause, Cheng Ling saw Lu Qi sitting in the first row.

These invited important guests would be arranged in the golden seats in the first row.

Lu Qi was smiling as he looked at Cheng Ling.

The lights on the stage reflected in his pupils. His eyes seemed to be glowing, and filled with focus and gentleness.

However, Cheng Ling didn’t dare to look into his eyes. What exactly were the coordinates she got today?

The closer she got to the truth, the more afraid Cheng Ling became.

The school’s anniversary programs had always been prepared by the school itself. Teachers and students had to perform on stage.

Each class had to rehearse a program together in the beginning and then go through the selection process.

There were 50 or so classes in the entire high school section, and 15 classes were selected to perform.

In addition to the class group performance, there were also some individual talent performances. As Yuya First High School had the art class, most of the art class students would perform individual piano performances and solo dances.

Every time these hosts finished the curtain call, they would go to the side of the stage and wait.

The hosts also had a particular standing position. Two girls stood in the middle, while the boys stood on either side of them. Thus Gu Nan never had the chance to talk to Cheng Ling, and there was always Cheng Xiao in the middle.

Once again they finished the curtain call and were waiting at the side of the stage. Cheng Xiao had gone backstage. Only then did Gu Nan have the chance to approach Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling felt someone approaching from her left. She turned around and saw Gu Nan in a white suit.

The smile on Gu Nan’s face was always warm. Every time she saw him, it reminded Cheng Ling of the young man who passed by the alley on his bicycle at eight or nine o’clock.

Gu Nan nodded at Cheng Ling. In fact, he didn’t know what he wanted to say. He just felt like talking to Cheng Ling.

“Cheng Ling, the physics competition of the Holy Land Cup will start next month. At that time, we will go to other cities to train. Old Sun should have already told you about this matter, right?”

Cheng Ling nodded slightly. “Yes, Teacher Sun has already told me. But I may not go.”

“Ah? Why? It was not easy for you to get this spot.”

“That’s not right. It shouldn’t be not easy. With your talent, it should be easy for you to get in.”

Why not?

Cheng Ling smiled.

She had participated in this competition just to let her grandmother have some face in front of others. She didn’t like to be in the limelight, to begin with. Moreover, if she were to go for training, she would have to go to another city. It was also not known how many days she would be away. What about her medicinal fields during this period of time?

Seeing that Cheng Ling was hesitating to explain, Gu Nan thought that Cheng Ling was embarrassed to tell. “Are you worried that your family can’t afford it? The school will bear all the expenses. You don’t have to worry.”

Gu Nan thought for a long time before speaking, as he was afraid what he said would hurt Cheng Ling’s pride..
