'Z'! Do you remember Hua?' They nod their head, their eyes twinkling in the light. 'Guess what!' I put my lips to their ear, whispering, 'we are engaged!' Their face lights up, as my wonderful fiancé walks onto the stage laughing.
'Hey little dude!' She embraces him.
I turn to my brother, 'have you introduced them to the group?' He shakes his head in response, turning his face away, as he pulls out a packet of gum.
I ignore him, turning my attention to the crowd, raising my arms above my head calling for their attention. 'Zhuang will be joining us, as a group member. I ask for the group leaders to meet us in the main room in ten minutes? If unable to attend please ensure you send a representative. Thank you!' I turn back to my family and wrap my arm around Zhuang's shoulders, leading them off the stage.
