On the pitch-black stage, a poster quietly appeared.

It was the theme poster that the G&S official blog had originally released.

–When the snow melts, it becomes spring.

The poster was already aesthetically pleasing, so just looking at the small picture was already good enough. Now that it was enlarged on the stage and spread out, it was even more stunning.

The forest, the stream, the branches, the snow, the flower bud.

And… Ning.

Lin Fengmian’s gaze fell onto the name in the middle. His expression was calm, and there was a hint of longing in the depths of his eyes.

The details on the poster were all done very well. After zooming in, one could even see the pebbles under the stream, and the hexagonal snowflakes on the branches.

In the silence, the white snow on the black branches began to melt and gradually turned into spring water. It hung on the tender green flower bud and swayed gently.

Then, it dripped down… plop.

The melted snow fell into the stream and gradually formed circles of ripples.

The ripples spread out on the surface of the water and spread in all directions.

Soon, the stream that had originally been still, began to flow.

The ice and snow melted, merging vitality and liveliness into the scenery, making it come to life completely.

The flower bud slowly bloomed.

Then, the entire poster moved.

The line that the stream meandered out from suddenly swayed.

Beneath the branches of the mountain, it was like a skirt that was dancing in the wind.

Ta-da.

The sound of footsteps sounded.

Then, the lights shone down.

A tall and slender young girl’s figure appeared on the stage.

In an instant, light and shadow flowed.

Everyone was surprised to find that the stream of water spread and shook, and transformed into the young girl’s dress.

No, it should be said that the entire poster was reflected on her dress.

The blooming flower bud suddenly fell from the branches.

The young girl raised her hand, showing off her slender and fair arm. She caught the flower bud and gently pinned it to her head.

Suddenly, the spotlight fell onto her body and face and everyone finally saw her appearance clearly.

Tang Wei.

The opening of this big show still featured her.

She was wearing an ankle-length strapless dress. The snow and branches, as well as the tender cyan flower bud, turned into the background color of her dress. It was pure and warm, elegant and lively.

She did not wear any jewelry from head to toe. One single blooming flower in her hair became the only embellishment.

She walked forward.

Tap.

Tap.

The left leg of the dress was split open and embroidered with layers of lotus leaves.

As she walked, her slender left leg was faintly discernible. It was sexy but noble and untouchable.

It was as if she had lifted a handful of snow from the multiple piles of snow and her eyes were sparkling.

As she walked, the lights on the stage gradually lit up.

The poster gradually disappeared, and in its place was a forest.

It was green and refreshing.

It was as if she had walked out of a snowy mountain forest, and with a hint of spring, she drifted over.

…

After Tang Wei officially opened the show, the screen was temporarily blank.

However, immediately after, countless bullet screens crowded over and quickly dominated the screen!

[ Wow wow wow! It’s so beautiful that I’m crying! Ahhhhhh! ]

[ Tang Wei is so beautiful! I announce that God Ning is the best! There’s no one like him! ]

[ Oh my god, if only I could wear this dress at least once in my life. Then, I wouldn’t even regret dying, would I? ]

[ What a god! It’s not in vain that I’ve waited so long for the live broadcast! Sob sob sob sob! ]

[ Tang Wei is really, really lucky. She doesn’t need anything else. Just these two big shows alone will be enough to provide for her for many years, right? ]

[ Weiwei has slayed again today! An absolutely beautiful star! So good! ]

[ For the 1000th time, when will Ning open his Weibo account? I want to go worship him! ]

[ Ah, speaking of which, Ning is the only main designer for this show. He should be making an appearance, right? Surely he will! ]

…

The live broadcast of the show started ten minutes ago, and the hot searches were quickly wiped out.

# G&S Spring and summer series. #

# Lin Fengmian smiled. #

# Tang Wei’s flower bud. #

# Tang Wei is absolutely beautiful. #

# When the snow melts, it becomes spring. #

# Ning is forever a god. #

A few words quickly made it onto the hot searches and dominated the list.

This was the long-prepared press conference of G&S. The publicity had always been strong, and the show tonight was truly stunning. The heat instantly increased.

Fifteen minutes into the live broadcast, the number of real-time viewers exceeded a million.

Apart from Tang Wei and Lin Fengmian’s fans, countless passersby were also attracted by the hot searches.

The bullet screen was filled with screams.

“Absolutely beautiful! Really! Absolutely Beautiful!”

“G&S’s aesthetic judgment this time is too high-level. It’s really stunning!”

“It’s no wonder that G&S made Ning the only main designer for this press conference. With such standards, no one else can compare!”

[ I’m tired of saying the word ‘beautiful’! ]

[ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]

…

The last “Flowers and the Moon” collection made Ning famous.

However, the theme of that time had originally been the G&S’ Autumn and Winter press conference.

Later, George had insisted on setting up a separate theme for Ning without caring about any discouragement from other parties, and the two themes had gone side by side that night.

Although it was very successful, strictly speaking, it was not a show that Ning had completed alone.

This time, Ning was the only main designer.

Countless people in the industry were waiting to see how Ning would perform this time.

It was not uncommon for a person to only succeed once.

Many people were stunned when these kinds of people appeared, but they soon lost their strength and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Only through continuous success could they gain the recognition of the crowd.

This time, the Spring and Summer show of G&S had undoubtedly completely stabilized Ning’s position within the fashion circle.

Being a top designer, G&S’s new favorite, and a fashion big shot that countless people were eager to chase after.

All this showed that Ning’s success was well-deserved.

Ye family.

Ning Li stayed in her room and watched the live broadcast.

George was a perfectionist so he had been pestering her for a long time to ensure that they communicated with each other several times about the Spring and Summer high-fashion collection. Finally, such a show had been presented.

It had to be said that all the hard work had paid off.

Ning Li was also very satisfied with the performance of this big show.

He Xiaochen’s messages popped up one after another on her phone screen.

[ Ah! Ning Li! Are you watching the live broadcast of the G&S show? It’s so beautiful that I could die! Ahhh! ]

[ Oh my god! Our Weiwei is so beautiful! She’s so sexy and high-class! ]

[ The camera caught sight of my brother again! The director understands! ]

She was already crazy about this live broadcast.

It wasn’t just her. This night, G&S swept through the headlines of all the major news, and their battle results were outstanding.

With her performance at the show, Tang Wei once again stunned everyone and attracted countless fans.

Apart from her, the other one who was also hot news tonight had been Lin Fengmian.

The scene of him curving his eyes as he smiled obediently had been made into a moving picture and quickly occupied the front page, attracting countless people to be glued to their screens.

[ Whose brother is this? Please enlighten me! ]

[ Isn’t he too obedient? He’s so delicate and beautiful. When he’s not smiling, he’s especially cold and aloof. When he smiles, he looks so young! ]

“Ah! Pure, yet lustful! How can he switch seamlessly? This is sister’s good boy!”

Ning Li switched the live broadcast to a small screen. She casually refreshed the homepage and saw countless similar content.

Tang Wei was the brand ambassador of G&S, and she was also the opening model for tonight. It was normal for her popularity to be high.

However, just by relying on that smile, Lin Fengmian was on par with her.

He was truly famous.

…

The G&S show lasted for an hour and a half.

Towards the end, the topic of the bullet screen was once again focused on Ning.

Everyone was trying to guess whether Ning would appear after tonight’s show.

[ Ning didn’t show up last time. He should show up this time, right? ]

[ Yeah! He’s the main designer after all. ]

[ We mortals only want to worship the big boss. G&S, let the big boss out! ]

[ Just for these two big shows, I want to be Ning’s fan for the rest of my life! ]

Edmund looked at the time and estimated that it was almost time, so he shrugged.

“I really wanted Ning to come over, but unfortunately–”

Lin Fengmian, who was sitting next to him, heard him and his eyes moved slightly.

Of course, he knew that she would not appear tonight.

However, it was already good enough that he could come here to watch her show.

Edmund and Lin Fengmian bade each other farewell and went backstage.

The finale music started, and the 20 models represented by Tang Wei returned to the stage one after another.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the stage.

Needless to say, they were all waiting for someone to appear.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a tall and straight figure appeared on the stage.

Under the spotlight, his perfect sculpture-like face was incomparably handsome.

Seeing him appear, many people in the show hall revealed shocked expressions.

“That person, why does he look so much like the Crown Prince of G&S?”

“That’s him! Such a perfect mixed-race face, how could there be a second one?”

“Wow… I thought he never shows his face in the show? This time it’s…”

George’s handsome face appeared on the screen and instantly caused a wave of screams.

He strode forward with his long legs and walked to the center of the stage.

The camera zoomed in.

When he smiled, his sky-blue eyes appeared particularly gentle and affectionate.

“Ning can’t come today because she has something to do, so as a friend, I’ll stand on the stage for her.”

His voice was magnetic, especially when paired with such a face and expression, it was intoxicating.

However, what was even more shocking was his words.

After a short moment of shock, everyone reacted and held their breaths, unable to hide their shock.

–George was the one and only Crown Prince of the G&S Group!

It was well-known that although he often appeared in the entertainment pages and the gossip about him was endless, he had never publicly appeared in any of G&S’s big shows before.

Now, he was standing up for Ning, saying that he was Ning’s friend!

Just this sentence was enough to show Ning’s position in his heart and the entire G&S Group!

He looked at the camera and smiled word by word:

“G&S is really lucky to have met you.”

…

After the Spring and Summer show of G&S, Ning, as the main designer, still had not made an appearance.

However, George had come.

After he had appeared, the two sentences he said were extracted and reposted an astonishing number of times.

What was George’s identity?

He was the Crown Prince of G&S. He was passionate and rich.

It meant a lot that he had publicly expressed his appreciation for Ning.

No matter how outstanding Ning was, he was only a designer.

However, George was different. He represented money.

By making such a statement, he was deliberately telling everyone that Ning had the backing of the entire G&S.

This way, even if someone was jealous and wanted to do something be it in the open or in the dark, they would have to think twice.

…

After the live broadcast ended, Ning Li exited the broadcast room. She stared at her phone for a while and raised her eyebrows slightly.

George was really cunning.

Originally, her relationship with G&S had just been an ordinary partnership.

But tonight, with George’s public appearance and her words, no doubt everyone would believe that she belonged to G&S.

He was really good at playing with this layer of relationships.

However, she did not really care about this.

Apart from G&S, she did not have any thoughts of working with other companies for the time being.

G&S had always been very cooperative with her in all aspects.

It could be said that this was her compensation for not going to the show.

She put away her phone and took out a science paper.

…

Magnificent.

Lu Huaiyu looked at his phone.

On the screen was the poster of G&S.

He stared at the ‘Ning’ that was written in the middle, his deep eyes slightly narrowed.

“… Ning?”

When G&S had held an Autumn and Winter press conference at the Malong Center, when he had seen the “Flowers and the Moon” collection, he had guessed that Ning and Tree’s Shadow were the same person.

At that time, Cheng Xiyue had even specifically asked him if he wanted to ask George about it.

With Lu Huaiyu’s identity, George would surely give him face.

However, he had rejected it.

Now that he was watching this, it made him even more certain of his thoughts.

He stared at the phone screen and pondered this for a long time.

In truth, if he insisted, it was not necessarily impossible to see this person.

It was just that–

Since the other party had been unwilling all along, there was no meaning in forcing it.

Cheng Xiyue’s message popped out.

[ Lu Er, you really don’t plan on asking? ]

After a long time, Lu Huaiyu replied with one word.

[ Hmm. ]

He turned off his phone screen.

This was Ning’s independent design press conference, yet no one had appeared.

Not to mention, he wanted to meet the person with the painting.

…

At 11 pm, Ning Li received a call from Lin Fengmian.

This was the second time the two of them had spoken since the last Winter Camp.

Ning Li remembered that he had gone to watch the G&S show today, so she pressed the answer button.

“Mian?”

The clean and well-behaved youth’s voice came from the receiver.

“Sister, are you busy?”

Ning Li laughed.

“I’m fine.”

The competition had ended, but she had not signed a contract with any university.

Lin Fengmian knew that she had recently returned to Yunzhou Second High to attend classes and prepare for the college entrance exam.

Thus, he had not contacted her much, afraid of disturbing her.

But today…

Lin Fengmian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room and looked outside.

The night in the Capital city was always brightly lit.

He said, “Sister, I went to watch the G&S Spring and Summer show today.”

Ning Li said, “Yes, I know.”

Lin Fengmian’s eyes curved, his voice filled with surprise.

“Sister, you watched the live broadcast?”

Then… she must have seen him too, right?

“I did.”

Ning Li thought of something and asked, “You seem to have a good relationship with Edmund. Is G&S planning to discuss a collaboration with you?”

This was something that needed to be kept a secret.

However, the person who had asked was her.

Lin Fengmian said, “Yes.”

“Yes, we’re discussing the brand ambassador position for the men’s ready-to-wear series.”

This could be considered as a giant pie. No matter who it hit, they would probably laugh until they went crazy.

Originally, with Lin Fengmian’s qualifications, he did not have enough to be a candidate.

Edmund really admired him a lot. Even George had relaxed after seeing him and sent him an invitation to sit in the first row of seats.

As a top luxury brand, G&S had never had a spokesperson before. Now, because they wanted to expand the market in China, they had begun to choose brand ambassadors.

Logically speaking, for such a brand, the criteria for selecting people was very high.

However, George was free and easy in doing things. He valued the degree of compatibility between the individual and the G&S brand.

If not for this, they would not have eliminated the popular A-list and chosen Tang Wei.

Now, they had taken a liking to Lin Fengmian.

“That’s good.”

Ning Li’s voice carried a smile.

Lin Fengmian was born for the stage, and he was a natural idol.

As long as he was given the chance and time, he would definitely grow into a truly dazzling superstar.

When Lin Fengmian heard her laugh, he also laughed.

He paused for a moment, then asked in a low and careful voice,

“Sister, when are you free? I’ll go and visit you.”

Ning Li thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “I’m afraid it’s not convenient at the moment. Your every move right now is being watched by people.”

Lin Fengmian’s traffic was huge, and the paparazzi followed closely.

Whatever he did, it would be magnified infinitely.

So now, it was indeed difficult to find a suitable time.

The smile on Lin Fengmian’s lips gradually disappeared, and his beautiful lips were pursed.

Ning Li sensed his low mood.

He was always like this. When he was unhappy, he rarely spoke.

After a while, Lin Fengmian said softly, “Then… shall we meet after the college entrance exams?”

The youth’s clean voice had a rare hint of coquettishness.

She should have some time by then.

Ning Li agreed.

“Okay.”

Lin Fengmian smiled again.

“Then, I’ll wait for sister.”

…

The popularity of the G&S show was very high, and the online discussions about it had always been high.

When Ning Li had come to class on Monday, she could hear a few girls discussing this topic excitedly during class time.

He Xiaochen’s phone wallpaper had been changed to a picture of Tang Wei’s appearance, and she would take it out to admire it whenever she had the time.

Ning Li seemed to stay out of it.

Only when she had received the money transfer from G&S did she nod her head affirmatively: the show had indeed been well done.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was now early April.

The annual spring sports meet of Yunzhou Second High was held.

The entire sports meet lasted for three days.

However, this had nothing to do with the senior year.

They were given special permission to not participate in any events.

The entire campus was bustling with activity, especially on the playground. The freshmen and sophomore classes held flags and waved them. All the events were in full swing.

Cheers and shouts echoed throughout the entire Second High school campus. They also continuously rushed into the quiet classroom of the senior year school’s teaching building.

“There are only two months left until the college entrance examination. The results of the first model examination that was held at the end of last month have already been released.”

In First Class’ classroom, Geng Haifan stood on the podium, holding a report card in his hand,

“This time–”

“Youth is like fire! Surpass yourself!”

A passionate slogan was heard from the broadcast.

Geng Haifan looked outside irritably.

“This time, the exact test paper is relatively simple, but it is still very meaningful for reference. You guys–”

“Ninth class, ninth class! Extraordinary!”

Geng Haifan’s words were interrupted again.

This shout was so passionate that several students in the classroom could not help but look outside.

Although they could not see the field from this position, it did not stop them from feeling distracted.

Geng Haifan slapped the report card on the desk.

“The parent-teacher conference will be held at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon!”

…

Parent-teacher conference.

After dinner, Ning Li had sat down in the small pavilion on the campus. She held her phone in her hand and turned it around.

She had always attended her own parent-teacher conferences.

Especially with her results this time in the model examinations, she was still the first in the entire city.

It did not matter whether she found someone to come or not.

However–

She hesitated for a while and made a call.

It rang for a long time. Just as Ning Li was about to hang up, the other side finally picked up.

“Ah Li?”

Lu Huaiyu’s voice sounded low and hoarse as if he had just woken up, and there was a hint of laziness in it.

Ning Li’s heart skipped a beat.

“Second Brother, did I wake you up?”

Lu Huaiyu laughed.

“No, I’ve been awake for a while. What’s wrong?”

Ning Li felt that his words were not very believable.

Lu Huaiyu always had to rest at that time in the afternoon.

If that was the case, then tomorrow’s parent-teacher conference–

“Oh, that’s good.”

After she said this, she did not know how to broach the topic of the parent-teacher conference with him.

It seemed a little strange.

Lu Huaiyu had come to Second High a few times before, but this was the first time she had directly asked him to come.

It was still different.

Lu Huaiyu was still waiting for her to speak.

“Hmm?”

Ning Li paused for a moment, then whispered, “Second Brother, we’re having a parent-teacher conference at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”
