It's not too late to meet in the book

The morning sun streamed through the windows, illuminating the busy students. On the day of the Cultural Festival, an unusual atmosphere permeated the campus, everyone filled with anticipation and nervousness. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan stood at the center of the stage, looking around, their eyes filled with excitement and a hint of anxiety. The stage space was much smaller than they had expected, and time was relentlessly ticking away.

"Yuxuan, we have to act quickly." Lei Xiaoyue said anxiously, her fingers tapping lightly on the schedule in her hand. "Space is limited, and time is even more urgent. We must make reasonable arrangements."

Lin Yuxuan nodded, his gaze sweeping across every corner of the stage, a rough layout already in mind. "Xiaoyue, you'll lead a group of students in painting and decorating, maximizing the vertical space to make the stage appear more spacious." He quickly assigned tasks. "I'll lead the rest of the students in installing the mechanical structure and moving the props. We need to ensure every inch of space is used most effectively."

Lei Xiaoyue responded and immediately took action. She gathered her classmates who were good at painting and began to discuss how to create the most striking visual effect within the limited space. "We can focus the main image on the stage background," she suggested. "Use perspective and color contrast to give the stage a sense of depth."

The students nodded and set to work. Some climbed ladders and carefully posted artwork on the walls, while others squatted on the ground, sketching delicate designs with colored pencils. Thanks to their efforts, the entire stage gradually became vibrant and energetic.

Elsewhere, Lin Yuxuan and his team were also working furiously. They needed to install the complex mechanical structure while ensuring all props were placed in the perfect position. "Everyone, move quickly, but be careful," Lin Yuxuan warned, holding a delicate mechanical part in his hands, his eyes focused and serious.

As time went on, the bustling atmosphere on stage intensified. Students moved in and out of every corner, their figures busy and orderly under the lights. Occasionally, a student would accidentally knock over a prop and cry out in surprise, but someone would quickly step forward to help and solve the problem together.

"Yuxuan, do you think this will work?" Lei Xiaoyue walked over to Lin Yuxuan and pointed to one side of the stage. She had just finished a huge background painting. The characters in the painting were so lifelike that they seemed ready to walk out of the picture at any moment.

Lin Yuxuan put down his tools and carefully examined Lei Xiaoyue's work. "Excellent, Xiaoyue!" he exclaimed. "Your painting brings the entire stage to life."

Lei Xiaoyue smiled, her smile filled with satisfaction and pride. "This is all thanks to everyone's efforts," she said, her eyes revealing gratitude for the team.

However, just when they thought everything was going smoothly, a sudden problem broke the peace. "Yuxuan, our lighting equipment seems to be insufficient!" A classmate hurried over to report.

Lin Yuxuan's brow furrowed. He knew the importance of lighting to the stage effect. "Xiaoyue, you lead everyone to continue setting up," he quickly decided. "I'll go talk to the teacher and see if we can find some backup lighting equipment."

Lei Xiaoyue nodded, her eyes filled with trust and encouragement. "Yuxuan, go ahead. Leave this to us," she said, her tone revealing determination and confidence.

Lin Yuxuan turned and ran, his figure weaving through the crowd and eventually disappearing at the end of the corridor. Lei Xiaoyue continued to direct the students in their arrangements, her voice firm and powerful.

Time slipped away in the tense and hectic atmosphere. Finally, thanks to the combined efforts of Lin Yuxuan and Lei Xiaoyue, they found a spare lighting system and installed it just in time. When the last light came on, the entire stage seemed to come alive, radiating a dazzling light.

"Great, we finally did it!" Lei Xiaoyue shouted excitedly, her voice full of joy and satisfaction.

The students paused their work, stood on the stage, and, looking at their achievements, felt a surge of pride and accomplishment. "We really did it!" they cheered, their laughter echoing across the stage.

At this moment, the teacher walked in, her eyes sweeping across every corner of the stage, a satisfied smile on her face. "Students, you did a great job," she said. "Faced with the limitations of space and time, you didn't give up, but chose to persevere and work hard. This is the power of growth."

The students were filled with warmth and gratitude after hearing the teacher's words. They knew that this experience not only taught them how to properly manage resources and time, but also made them realize the importance of teamwork and perseverance.

"Thank you, teacher," Lei Xiaoyue said, her voice choking with emotion. "Without your guidance and support, we would not have been able to complete such a wonderful stage arrangement."

The teacher smiled and shook her head, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future. "Students, you are the protagonists of this stage," she said. "Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you must face them bravely and persevere, just as you did today. You will surely create an even more glorious tomorrow."

"We are the best!" Lei Xiaoyue shouted excitedly, her voice full of strength and confidence.

"Yes, we are the best!" The students echoed in unison, their voices echoing on the stage.
