The complete ceremony of coming of age ceremony is divided into welcoming guests, taking seats, opening ceremony, the person getting the coming of age ceremony taking seats, guest washing hands, three bows and three additions, placing wine, offering sacrifices, naming the person getting the coming of age ceremony, listening to instructions, the person getting the coming of age ceremony bowing to express gratitude, and the end of the ceremony.

Although Liu requested a complete ceremony, given the current conditions in Guangming Village and Shi Anan's own cooperation, the process of the ceremony must be simplified.

Because it was decided to host a banquet for the villagers directly in the cafeteria, the only people who actually had the opportunity to attend Shi An An's coming-of-age ceremony were a few people. There weren't many people to begin with, and everyone was acquaintances, so not to mention having Liu greet them at the door, they all took the initiative to come over to see if they could help.

There were not many guests and there was no need to welcome them specially, so Liu suddenly had a lot less things to do. She went to wake Shi Anan up from bed early in the morning.

"Wake up, Sister An." Before dawn, Liu went to An An's room and called her to get up.

Shi Anan was still asleep. When she heard Liu's voice, she just buried her head in the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.

Liu had no choice but to push harder and raise her voice: "Sister An, get up!"

Shi Anan muttered impatiently: "Mom, it's not even daybreak yet, why do you have to get up so early!"

"Today is your coming-of-age day. You have to get up early and dress up." Liu was annoyed. How could this girl not take it seriously at all?

"What's there to dress up for? Don't you have to comb your hair? I tried on the clothes you made for me last night." Shi Anan was also dragged by Liu to try on clothes last night. Sanjia's clothes were all made by Liu, using the high-quality fabrics that the system rewarded before.

It has to be said that the clothes made from good fabrics are also good-looking. In addition, Shi Anan's appearance and figure are first-class. No matter whether it is a plain skirt, a long gown with curved hems, or a long dress with large sleeves, she looks particularly good in them, which amazed Liu and Fu Xin.

"Even if you have to comb your hair for the coming-of-age ceremony, you still have to get up and dress up. You're planning to go to the coming-of-age ceremony with such a messy hair, so don't lie in bed and get up!"

Shi Anan was so disturbed that she had no choice but to forget about sleeping. She sat up dazed and was toyed with by Liu and Fuxin like a doll.

It wasn't until the sky grew brighter that she felt a little more energetic. She wanted to have a simple birthday, but why was it so difficult?

As the auspicious time approached, guests who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony arrived one after another. The Ruan family who lived next door were naturally the first to arrive. As the main guest, Ruan also had to go over some procedures with Liu.

Others like Li Zimu, Doctor Li, the village chief, and Shi Anan’s students who were specially invited also came early to wait for the coming-of-age ceremony to begin.

Although they are all familiar people, the proper etiquette for guests still needs to be observed. Liu and Fuxin are busy with Shi An'an, so the job of reception has to fall on Ruyi. However, Ruyi is alone and sometimes feels overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi, a person with social anxiety, actually took the initiative to share the task of reception. Even Ruan looked at him in disbelief, then thought of something, smiled secretly and kept silent.

Although he was a receptionist, Xiao Yi stood at the door expressionlessly like a door god, nodding and greeting people who came in and pointing in a direction. Those who knew him would think he was here to greet guests, while those who didn't would think he was a doorman.

When Li Zimu arrived at the door, he saw Xiao Yi, who was standing straight at the door of Shi Anan's house, exuding an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

He looked up at the house number in confusion. Hmm, he was not wrong. What was this Mr. Xiao doing standing at the door?

He walked forward slowly, stopped at the door, bowed to Xiao Yi, and asked, "Good morning, Mr. Xiao, why are you standing at the door instead of going in?"

Xiao Yi nodded in return, glanced at Li Zimu and said calmly, "Welcome."

Li Zimu's smile almost froze on his face. You look like someone owes you millions of taels and you tell me you're welcoming guests?

He said with a half-smile, "If I remember correctly, today is Miss Shi's coming-of-age ceremony. Why does Mr. Xiao need to be here to welcome the guests?"

Subtext: Who are you to her? Just be here to welcome her.

Xiao Yi still had that arrogant expression: "I'm happy with it."

Li Zimu choked and wanted to say something, but Doctor Li, who had already entered the room, called out, "Zimu, what are you doing?"

"Oh! I'm coming. I was just saying hello to Mr. Xiao." Li Zimu responded, looked at Xiao Yi hesitantly, and finally went in without saying anything.

Xiao Yi saw his back as he walked away and snorted coldly. They were all men, so don't think he didn't know what he was thinking.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the auspicious time for the coming-of-age ceremony, and all those who came to watch the ceremony were already in place.

Liu came out first and expressed her gratitude to everyone for coming to attend Shi Anan's coming-of-age ceremony. Then Shi Anan entered the venue amid everyone's anticipation.

An An is usually very beautiful, but she has always been like a rough man and never takes care of herself. This time, for the coming-of-age ceremony, Liu dressed her up early, and now she looks even more bright and charming.

The conversations of the guests present were silent for a moment. They only felt that Shi Anan was emitting light all over her body. Her elusive temperament made people feel as if she was about to ascend to become an immortal and fly away from them.

Xiao Yi was also sitting quietly among the guests at this time, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although there was still no big fluctuation on his face, he was uncontrollably restless in his heart. He wanted to pull this cloud-like woman down from the sky to sink into the world with him.

He forced himself to calm down. Today was Shi Anan's coming-of-age day. Her coming-of-age ceremony was the most important. He still had plenty of time.

Liu looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction and said that her sister An could amaze everyone with just a little tinkering.

If Shi Anan knew what these people were thinking, she would definitely be amused. What fairy, what distant? She just didn't sleep well and was still a little dazed.

After the bride entered the venue, she bowed to the guests, then sat upright at the table while the groom combed her hair. Shi Anan followed the procedure Liu had given her and bowed to the guests who came to watch the ceremony, then sat down and waited for Fuxin to comb her hair.

Then came the most important three bows and three additions in the coming-of-age ceremony. The main guest, Nguyen, put the hairpin on Shi An'an and chanted a blessing: "On this auspicious day of the month, you are finally wearing your first clothes. Let go of your childish ambitions and follow your virtues..."

After going through this whole process, Shi Anan was so tired that she wanted to turn around and run away, but thinking about how much effort Liu had put into this coming-of-age ceremony, she forced herself to endure it.

After finally waiting until the ceremony was over, Shi Anan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this coming-of-age ceremony only happens once in a lifetime. If it happens again, I'll be ruined."

Hearing this, Liu laughed and said, "This is just the beginning. When you get married in the future, the process will not be any easier than this."

Shi Anan's eyes widened in horror. No way, then she didn't want to get married! She didn't have to marry this man!
