She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Jiang Lai woke up very early the next day, mainly because she still had a lot of things to do and couldn't sleep soundly.

By the time she finished washing up and started editing the video, her roommates were gradually getting up.

Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue woke up a little earlier than Tang Li and started eating breakfast before Tang Li woke up.

"What kind of gods are you? How can you even get up like this?" she muttered.

"My Jiang, why are you awake so early?" Tang Li yawned and moved closer to her. "What are you doing?"

"Edit yesterday's vlog, and go brush your teeth and wash your face, or breakfast will get cold."

"Love you!"

Jiang Lai smiled and then continued with her editing work.

Zhao Ying and Li Xiangyue watched Jiang Lai work while eating breakfast. "What's the schedule for later?"

"I still need to go to the auditorium. Although the school anniversary gala starts in the afternoon, I need to get everything arranged in the morning."

"And what about lunchtime?" Li Xiangyue asked.

"Let's just grab a quick bite with the rest of the department. We've got a lot to do today." Jiang Lai exported the video and uploaded it. "Done."

She then turned to her roommate and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still planning to go check on the preparations today?"

"No need for that, we really need to get there early to secure a spot. When it's almost time, just let us know in the group chat!"

The auditorium at Imperial Capital University is large, but it couldn't possibly accommodate all the faculty and students to watch the anniversary gala. From the beginning, the gala had limited capacity, with freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors assigned to different seats. Those who wanted to attend could apply for electronic tickets, and some paper tickets were also distributed. These tickets didn't guarantee a seat; it was all about reserving a spot.

Of the people in room 306, Jiang Lai could get in without applying, while the others all had tickets.

"It starts at 3 p.m. At 5 p.m., in order to let everyone go to eat, there will be a documentary about the school's history on the big screen. If you want a good seat, I estimate you will have to be there by 2 p.m. If you still want to watch after 5 p.m., you will have to go to eat separately, otherwise the seats will be taken later."

"We've already decided, we'll just bring some snacks. We only have an hour for lunch, right? The show will start again at six, so it'll be quick."

"Okay, you can make your own arrangements. If you really can't, come find me and I'll arrange for you to go backstage to watch the performance."

"Hahaha, okay!"

Jiang Lai glanced at her phone. "It's almost time, I'll head over now? Call me if anything comes up."

"no problem."

Jiang Lai picked up her handbag, grabbed the clothes she would wear that evening, and left the dormitory.

Today is Saturday, no classes, but there are school anniversary activities, and everyone is quite excited. Usually, the campus is quieter than usual on weekends, with everyone either in their dorms or out having fun. But today, the campus is much more lively than usual. Even though it's only a little past eight o'clock, the whole campus feels "alive."

The roadsides on campus were lined with various signs, and banners proclaiming "Warmly Celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Teito University" were everywhere. Colorful flags and balloons were everywhere, making it look very lively.

Jiang Lai walked to the auditorium and began making final preparations for the school anniversary gala in the afternoon.

While she worked hard, the number of comments and likes on her vlogs continued to rise.

—What? This blogger has actually come back from the dead?

—This is someone my grandma follows.

—Oh, woman, you've finally remembered the account password?

—Imperial University students reporting for duty! Looking forward to tonight's anniversary gala!

—Thank you so much, senior! You're still overseeing the rehearsals so late.

—I was wondering why I kept hearing thumping noises from Beijing University these past few days; it turns out it's their anniversary celebration!

—Ah Guan is here! Give this a like, and you can also check out the school anniversary promotional video on Ah Guan's homepage~

—The person upstairs is the official account, hahaha

—I think I've figured it out; Alai seems to have a good relationship with the school's official officials?

—The Minister of Arts and Literature, right? The official Weibo and WeChat accounts are all from the student union, right? Everyone must know him!

—This woman, she started as a freshman, and now she's the head of the arts and culture department.

—What?! She's already a sophomore?!

—XS, she'll be a junior at the end of this semester.

—My daughter, Mom has been there for you as you grew up.

—Wow, there are even mom fans here!

The school's official Douyin account has always been managed by the entire media group. Jiang Lai and Senior Sister Lan are old acquaintances. The official account often leaves comments and likes under Jiang Lai's videos, but they are usually likes related to school work, such as the preparations for this school anniversary.

The official account of Beijing University also posted a video, which was a countdown and included some highlights. Some people who saw the comments on the official account under Jiang Lai's video also followed suit.

—No, isn't this better than the Spring Festival Gala?

—I'm tired of saying the word "envy".

—If my school had this kind of clout, I would have been ecstatic!

—Other people's school anniversary

—This university is good, add it to my shortlist.

—Don't laugh too hard upstairs, hahaha

—@Beijing Agricultural University, please arrange one, please! (crying) (sobbing)

—Add one point to the cowardly group upstairs.

——@Huaguo University, you lost.

—The atmosphere, the venue, the lighting!!! As expected of Imperial University!

As a top university in China, all of Beijing University's actions attract attention from all sectors of society. This year's anniversary celebration was reported by television stations well in advance, and it garnered significant traffic on various social media platforms. On campus, the school forum was even more lively, with everyone posting continuously, and everyone was looking forward to it.

Who took my spot?! Give it back to me!!!

—I really want to complain. It's one thing to have to draw tickets, but why limit it to one ticket per phone number?!

—[Screenshot] My ticket~

—You could ask your advisor if they still have paper tickets. E-tickets are very popular; only the luckiest people can usually snag them.

—Are there basically no paper tickets left? After all, it started in the afternoon, and those who wanted tickets had already gotten them.

Luckily, I'm smart. The volunteer association needed people to help with the school anniversary celebration, so I signed up and could get in without a ticket.

—But you have to work, I just want to watch the show.

Actually, there's not much to do; it's mainly about maintaining order at the beginning and end of the event.

—Everything else was done by the student union and its members; the volunteers did a decent job.

[Latest program schedule is here!]

——Hail to our street dance club! We rocked the stage right from the start!

—I've taken a look, and all the song and dance performances this year are quite good.

—The drama club's show was really good, a remake of the school history?

—All the boring shows are indeed made by teachers.

—Upstairs, do you not want your account anymore?

—Check-in experience +3

—Looking forward to my art school's program!

[Countdown to the school anniversary gala is underway!]

—This is the official account. From now on, we will count down every hour until 3 PM when it officially starts! Inside the auditorium, everyone is having a great rehearsal. This post will contain some pictures and videos for you to preview!

—【Link】Here's the live stream link. Even if you didn't get a ticket, you can still interact with us online! There are also surprise prizes to be won!

——gkd, don't force me to beg you

—I've paid tuition for three years, what, am I not even entitled to see your school anniversary gala?! What's wrong with giving out more tickets?! What's wrong with that?!

—Alumni who have already graduated said they also want to come back and visit.

—Call the leaders away for a meeting, and let the students in to watch the gala!

—Rumor has it that many alumni and people from outside the university will be attending the gala this year!

—It looks like there's a lot of work going on over there in the auditorium. [Image]

—I'm from the etiquette team, and everyone in the auditorium is incredibly busy right now.

—Then why are you so free?

—The etiquette team is only responsible for ceremonial reception.

……

Boys dormitory.

Sun Zhengyang rolled around on the bed with his phone in his hand, yelling, "Aaaaaah! I want the whole world to know I have tickets to the school anniversary gala!"

Ye Minglong gave him a disdainful look: "If you're going to go crazy, then get out."

"No way!" Sun Zhengyang proudly sat up in bed. "I'm asking you, who else has a ticket?! Everyone else is out of tickets! I do!"

Jiang Sen: "You know, the origin of this ticket is hard to say, right?"

All four members of their dorm got tickets, thanks to Shen Yi, who created a set of code that successfully drew tickets for everyone.

"I get it! Hehehe! You're the genius! And I still have a paper ticket, I can give it to someone else later." Sun Zhengyang made a smug look. "Which junior should I give it to?"

"Ugh!" Ye Minglong made a vomiting motion.

"Hmph, I won't talk to people like you." Sun Zhengyang felt he was magnanimous and didn't bother with it. "It's a pity that the goddess's dorm room already has tickets, otherwise I could give them to them."

"Junior Jiang is in charge of the party herself, how could her dorm not have tickets?" Jiang Sen said, "Otherwise, you can see who else in our class wants to go."

"Pah, men don't deserve it." Sun Zhengyang muttered, then looked at his phone again. "Ah! I saw a picture of a female student on the forum."

He waved his phone. "Shouldn't they be eating by now? The junior girls seem to still be busy with the party."

Shen Yi glanced at the time. "Indeed."

Sun Zhengyang climbed out of bed, sat down next to Shen Yi, and handed her his phone, saying, "Look at my junior."

Shen Yi looked at his phone screen. The photo was a candid shot, but the person in the photo was very clear. She was holding a form and talking to someone next to her.

"This junior is pretty too, save it." Sun Zhengyang was about to click save when he heard Shen Yi speak.

What time should we go?

He paused, then replied, "Let me think. When we go to eat later, I'll ask my junior if she needs anything to eat. If she does, we can go straight in, find a good spot, and wait there..."

Sun Zhengyang was talking incessantly about his plan when he turned his head and saw Shen Yi typing furiously on his phone. "Did you ask your junior?"

Shen Yi silently turned off the screen. "No."

"I was being redundant in asking that question. If you'd just been a little more proactive, you would have won her heart last year when you were playing games with your junior," Sun Zhengyang complained, then checked his phone. "Damn it? The thread crashed again! I'm going to blow up the school's computer lab sooner or later! This lousy internet!"

He muttered a couple of curses, "Let's go? Let's go eat?"

Jiang Sen: "I haven't finished the task Lao Liu assigned me yet, you guys go ahead! I'll finish running these few lines of code and then come back. If you go to the auditorium first, just send me a message and I'll go straight there."

Ye Minglong: "Okay."

Sun Zhengyang: "Let's go! If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking."

He shoved Ye Minglong out, with Shen Yi following behind them.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lai, whom Sun Zhengyang was thinking of bringing food for, was still making final preparations.

After confirming that all the music and props were in good condition, she could finally take a break.

"School girl."

Someone patted her on the shoulder.

Jiang Lai turned around and saw Wen Zhi. "Senior? What brings you here?"

"Today is the pre-defense," Wen Zhi smiled. "I brought you some bread."

Jiang Lai looked at her hand and saw the bag from the school bakery. "Thank you, senior! I was a little hungry! I've been so busy! I haven't even had time to drink water, let alone eat anything."

"Is everything ready now? Let's find a place to eat?"

Jiang Lai looked around and said, "There are basically no problems."

"Let's go eat over in the audience area!" Wen Zhi pulled her away from backstage.

Jiang Lai followed her to sit down in the audience. Wen Zhi handed her a brown paper bag, saying, "I also bought a bottle of milk."

"Thank you, senior!" Jiang Lai didn't stand on ceremony and started eating right away. After a busy morning, she was really hungry.

"Senior, you've been busy with graduation stuff lately, haven't you?" Jiang Lai took a bite of the pork floss bun.

"Yes, that's right. And then I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. I was always in my dorm, either writing my thesis and preparing my graduation project, or studying for the exam in the library."

"I mean, sometimes you can't even see the senior from the photography club."

"Yes, the new minister has basically taken over everything. I came here today because I'm a little worried about the people in the photography department."

"So, are you going to watch the performance later, senior?" "I'll probably be backstage, and I'll probably be in charge of photography too."

"That must have been hard work." The two chatted as they ate, and soon finished all the bread rolls.

Wen Zhi: "I'll go with you!"

"Okay!"

Actually, there's not much else to do; the main issue is that there can't be no one backing up the team.

Jiang Lai and Wen Zhi were watching over things backstage, and people kept coming back after going to eat.

Wen Zhi was the previous head of the photography department, and most people knew her to some extent. When they saw her backstage, they would say a few words to her.

While Jiang Lai was chatting backstage, she received a message from Sun Zhengyang on her phone.

Sun Zhengyang: Junior! Do you need me to bring you some food?

Jiang Lai: No need! I've already eaten bread.

Sun Zhengyang: TAT Do you need me to bring you anything?

Jiang Lai: ? No need

Sun Zhengyang: Ahhhhh, why don't you want anything?!

Sun Zhengyang: All of us in the dorm have tickets to see the show. But we're not sure if we can get in and grab seats now. If you need any, we can bring them in so we can get in first and secure seats!

Jiang Lai glanced at the audience from backstage and saw that quite a few people had arrived early.

So she typed: "Senior, just come straight here!" Some people are already waiting.

Sun Zhengyang: !!! What??? I'll be there soon!

Jiang Lai smiled and shook her head, ignoring him. Instead, she sent a message to her roommates: "Come and grab a spot!"

Students began to enter the hall around 1 p.m., and by 2 p.m., there was a constant stream of students coming and going. By 2:30 p.m., the auditorium was basically full, and school leaders and teachers were all seated.

At 3 o'clock sharp, music started playing in the auditorium, the live stream was turned on, and the school anniversary gala began.
