True Love Waits novel Chapter 553

For the next two days, Blair and Wesley didn't see each other at all, not on campus or in the elevator.

Blair was afraid that once the freshmen's military training was done, he would get reassigned somewhere else and she'd never see him.

Although they were neighbors, they didn't spend much time together. As he said, he was usually gone. She hoped that the military training would never end. She wanted to at least see him, even if he didn't say hi. Her eyes were full of affection when she saw him.

Joslyn sighed in her heart, 'Bless, I hope you get what you want someday.'

Time flies! Two weeks flew by, and the military training program came to an end. The annual gala to welcome the freshmen was also fast approaching.

The gala was held on the training ground. The date was the night before the last day of training. The guests were the teachers and students at the university, as well as the soldiers who hadn't left yet.

One of the hosts was a girl in a red evening dress, a senior, and the other was a handsome junior in a suit and leather shoes. To the audience's surprise, after their opening, the first program was neither a song nor a dance performance.

The male host declared in a charming voice, "Now let's welcome Blair Jing, a junior majoring in Business English, to give us an English speech to kick this thing off. Let's give her a warm welcome."

The students started screaming and whistling in excitement. The din was deafening. As that was going on, a lovely girl in a sky-blue knee-length dress and a pair of white high heels stepped onto the stage. She was very naturally made up, to accentuate her best features, and looked as if she had no make-up on at all. She wore some pink lip gloss as well.

Talbot patted Wesley's shoulder excitedly and yelled, "Chief, it's Blair! Wow! What a hottie!"

Wesley, who sat upright, rolled his eyes at him and then looked at the girl on the stage. Then he looked away, as if he were not impressed.

Mouth wide open, Lenard looked at the boys screaming and whistling for Blair, and murmured in disappointment, "Blair has so many fans! I don't stand a chance with her."

Talbot remembered something, so he stopped applauding and tapped Lenard on the shoulder. "Blair's in love with someone else," he said in a low voice.

Tears welled up in Lenard's eyes. "Ahh, my heart! My first crush, and I had no chance to act on it."

"Same here," Talbot said with a shrug.

Lenard turned to look at him in shock.

On the stage, Blair smiled politely and took a microphone from the female host. When she moved the microphone near her lips, silence filled the place.

She lifted the script in her hand and began, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Blair Jing. First of all, let me congratulate you on your being a member of our university. We are no longer kids when we..."

From the start, many students could understand Blair without reading the Chinese translation on the big screen behind her. A boy in his fourth year who thought he could speak English well began to interpret for his friend sitting next to him.

He did well at first, but then started to stumble over his words. They were eventually forced to read the Chinese translation on the screen.
