“Senior, your class’ seating area is here.” The junior smiled and pointed to them.
“Thanks.”
The three of them sat down. Yu Antong was going to take the stage soon, so he and Xing Lixuan picked the side-most seat.
Students from several other classes of the same major sat down one after another.
“Who is this? So handsome!” Someone from the next class whispered.
“Your home doesn’t have access to the Internet, does it? This is Yu Antong from class 3. You don’t even know him.”
“I’ve only heard some rumors, but I’ve never seen a real person. I can’t believe he’s so handsome in real life!”
“I’ve only seen it in the “God of Chefs” variety show. The real one has more aura!”
Yu Antong’s classmates also raised a ruckus once they saw Xing Lixuan.
“Yu Antong, you are so unkind, you actually brought your family to the graduation party!”
“That’s right, definitely to flaunt affection to us single dogs. So heartless.”
“I’m wrong, dear all beauties and handsome guys, please forgive me.” Yu Antong clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, “As an apology, I’ll treat you all at the Immortal’s Banquet for our graduation dinner!”
“Apology accepted!”
Everyone cheered, and the students of other classes were very envious.
They also want to eat at the Immortal’s Banquet.
Someone in the next class couldn’t help but say, “Class monitor, the graduation dinner of our class should also be booked at the Immortal’s Banquet, so go and tell Yu Antong quickly.”
“That’s right, we can split the bills1in Chinese, this is called “going AA”!”
“Okay, I’ll post a vote in our class in a while, and if most people agree, I’ll book it.” The class monitor said, “Calm down, everyone, the party is about to begin.”
A few minutes later, the monitor of Yu Antong’s class came over and called Yu Antong, “Antong, you can go line up now, go to the right area of the stage.”
“Okay.” Yu Antong stood up and adjusted his clothes, and said to Xing Lixuan, “You wait for me here.”
Xing Lixuan nodded. “Mn, go.”
At exactly 7 o’clock, the warm-up music was suspended for a few seconds and replaced with an elegant piano accompaniment.
“Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, fragrant green grass reaches for the sky…” The outstanding student representatives selected from several classes came to the stage singing this classic farewell song.
“Asking you when you’re going to return, but don’t linger when you come.”
After singing “Song of Farewell”, the corners of the graduates’ eyes were slightly moist.
The music stopped, and the student representatives gave graduation speeches and blessings to the students in turn, and finally said in unison, “I wish you all a bright future. No matter how far you go, remember, you’re still the same youth who first stepped into here, even when you come back.”
Many emotional students in the audience sobbed and applauded softly, but there would never be a shortage of envious losers in the world.
A discordant voice whispered in the corner, “The other classes’ rep are all class committee members, but Class 3 is special. Didn’t Yu Antong rely on his marriage to a rich man? It’s embarrassing for a man to rely on a marriage like that; what is he, a girl? It really embarrasses us men all around the world.”
A man with slanted eyes whispered acidic words to the people around him while holding up his mobile video to record a video.
The classmate sitting next to him frowned and looked at his friend disapprovingly, feeling that he had changed a lot compared to before the internship. “Don’t say that, Yu Antong’s own strength is obvious to all. He didn’t rely on Xing-zong’s influence at all.”
“What kind of strength? That’s just lip service. Didn’t you read on the Internet that Xing Lixuan invested billions in Yu Antong’s Immortal’s Banquet? But until now Yu Antong has not developed the Immortal’s Banquet out of Jiangcheng.” Slanted-eyes curled his lips in disdain, full of bitterness and jealousy, and continued, “If someone invests in me, let alone a few billion, I can show my strengths even if it is only two or three billion. Unfortunately, Bole is hard to find. Not everyone is so discerning.”
“Several billion? That’s impossible, who did you listen to?” What his friend left unsaid was: if someone really invested in you, they’re blind!
“Why do you need to ask who? It’s all available online.”
Despicable villains who are unhappy with their own lives tend to flock to the darkest and stinkiest corner of the gutter, beyond Anonymous accounts on the internet, using the keyboard to vent their anger caused by failure in life.
The student representatives on the stage stepped down, and the party host came on stage to continue the show. Slanted-eyes stopped his recording. “Tsk tsk, I’m posting this video online. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of likes.”
While slandering Yu Antong, Slanted-eyes wanted to take advantage of Yu Antong’s popularity on the Internet to gain a little bit of benefit for himself.
The classmate didn’t talk to him again – it’s futile. Once they all got exposed to the society, it’s clear that his and his friend’s road ahead are split. He’ll just treat it as him losing a friend.
The music was replaced by a high-energy hip-hop dance accompaniment full of rhythm. A group of juniors came on to the stage, their heroic, flexible and seductive dance moves and the rhythm of the music drove the atmosphere.
No one noticed the gloomy villain, and everyone enjoyed this last performance before leaving their university life.
Halfway through the party, some students started to get up to go to the bathroom, Yu Antong and Xing Lixuan took the opportunity to leave.
“Tired?” Xing Lixuan asked him.
“Not tired, let’s take a walk on the main road.” Yu Antong rubbed his belly and said, “You can’t carry me even if you’re tired.”
The main road is a little farther than the small road through the Red Maple forest, but it will pass the river that surrounds their school. There are a lot of lotus flowers planted near the bridge in the river. Now it is the season of lotus blooming, so he wanted to see and enjoy the view.
Xing Lixuan held his hand and said in a warm voice, “Although I can’t carry you, I can hold you.”
The night breeze in early summer was cool and refreshing, and Yu Antong laughed heartily, “I don’t want you to carry me, I’m heavy now!”
“Look, a lotus.” When passing by the bridge, Yu Antong stood in front of the railing and pointed to the middle of the river for Xing Lixuan to see, “There are two kinds of lotus here, red lotus and white lotus. It’s a pity that you can’t see it so vividly at night, but its haziness adds to the beauty of the lotus.”
Under the soft brilliance of the moonlight, the blooming lotus swayed in the summer wind, bringing a waft of sweet scent. Occasionally, a few rustling insects broke the quiet night.
There was a sound of flapping wings among the lotus bushes, and then a group of dark, invisible wings flew over their heads.
“What is this?” Xing Lixuan subconsciously protected Yu Antong.
“It’s okay, it’s just the school’s ducks.”
“Quack!” Like what Yu Antong said, the duck flew from one side of the bridge to the other side, and along the way, it quacked twice in a rough voice.
“Hahaha.” Yu Antong smiled and said while walking with Xing Lixuan, “I was shocked when I saw ducks fly for the first time in school. I used to think that ducks could only swim. In actuality, it could fly high and far away…”
The two got off the bridge and walked under the street lights, their shadows getting longer and longer.
The next two days were graduation photoshoots and graduation dinners. On the last day, they finally received their graduation certificates, which also meant that this year’s student had officially graduated.
On the day of the degree-conferring ceremony, Xing Lixuan specially came to pick up Yu Antong.
Xing Lixuan kissed Yu Antong’s forehead: “Baby, happy graduation.”
Yu Antong hugged him and looked up with a smug smile. “But I’m still a baby~ How can I graduate at such a young age?2this is a heavy paraphrase of the og text to suit the atmosphere better. Og text: “我在你这里永远都不毕业，永远是你的宝宝。””
Xing Lixuan patted his head. “You really can act as a baby.”
At this time, there are many couples who show their affection in public, and the two of them mix in the crowd without shy away from intimacy. However, the target of public hatred is not on these sickly-sweet newlyweds, but–
Han Lele, who was proposed to!
Last time, Han Lele mentioned that Qi Jingyao planned to propose to him during his graduation, but Yu Antong’s attention was all on “happy fat”, and he didn’t pay attention to other things. He didn’t expect to catch up with the scene, and he was still here to help keep busy.
It stands to reason that as soon as the degree-conferring ceremony is over and the school leaders leave, everyone will follow suits. But the strange thing is that everyone is dawdling as if waiting for something.
Yu Antong was talking to Xing Lixuan at first, but he didn’t pay attention. When he planned to go back with Xing Lixuan, Xing Lixuan said, “Wait, you call Han Lele over and tell him not to leave.”
“Huh?” Yu Antong was puzzled, he followed the direction Xing Lixuan pointed to find Han Lele who was a few steps away from them, and he shouted, “Lele, come here.”
Han Lele turned his head and came slowly, looking a little lost. “Tongtong, what are you calling me for?”
Yu Antong didn’t know what Xing Lixuan was going to do, so he looked at Xing Lixuan.
Before Xing Lixuan could explain, the campus radio rang.
“Just now our campus radio station received the most special request. The requester is Qi Jingyao. He wants to tell Han Lele, a member of Class 3.” The gentle female announcer’s voice stopped and changed to Qi Jingyao’s voice.
Different from the usual cynicism, Qi Jingyao’s voice was serious and gentle.
“Lele, I love you, will you marry me?”
Han Lele was stunned on the spot, his expression changing back and forth.
Dear God! He graduated today, and after waiting for a long time, he didn’t see Qi Jingyao’s figure. He thought that guy had forgotten that he had told him that he was going to propose to him, and was feeling lost about it. But out of nowhere, he heard his name called on the radio.
He felt really mixed – surprised, embarrassed, special, extremely happy, very complicated cocktail of emotions!
Why can’t Doggy Qi make a more beautiful proposal?! This is too silly!
The way he proposed on the radio really looked like: “Li Ziming, Class 6, Grade 3, your mother brought you two bottles of Wangzai Milk3a popular brand of milk.…”
This made him unable to look directly at Wangzai Milk in the future!
Han Lele was surrounded by people he knew, and was embarrassed. At this time, those students who were dawdling around did not go away – instead, one by one, they brought him roses for Han Lele. None of them said anything, they just smiled at him then walked away.
Soon Han Lele received a big bouquet full of roses.
Ahhh! That Doggy Qi better not to come here now! If he comes, he will strangle Qi Jingyao to death!!
Qi Jingyao didn’t know about Han Lele’s inner turmoil at all. This was the most campus-like, fresh, romantic and unconventional marriage proposal that he and his brothers brainstormed for the past month.
It’s much more advanced than those proposals with heart-shaped candles that are likely to be extinguished by the security guard!
Qi Jingyao is quite confident!
He was dressed in a suit, handsome and elegant. As he walked, the crowd parted to make way for him, and Qi Jingyao walked slowly and confidently towards Han Lele.
The moment Han Lele, the face-dog, saw Qi Jingyao, the storm in his heart disappeared and turned into colorful flowers.
Qi Jingyao walked up to Han Lele, knelt down on one knee, held up the diamond ring, and looked at him affectionately, “Lele, will you marry me?”
Yu Antong remembered that Han Lele had sworn at the beginning that he didn’t plan to get married so early. And for a moment, Yu Antong thought of watching the fun in a wicked way.
“I will.”
However, in the next second, Han Lele agreed on the spot without any scruples!
Yu Antong: Heh, Han Lele you wishy-washy man!!
The author has something to say:
At the beginning, Tongtong: no one proposed to me.
Later, Tongtong: Hahaha, luckily not!
