Chapter 123 Summer Heat

"Wow, your flowers are so beautiful." said the classmate next to me.

Chen Lanjun hurriedly turned the card over and covered it with her palm: "Is there one?"

"Yes." The classmate nodded affirmatively, "The flower should be bigger and the color is also very special. What kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

Indeed, the bouquet held by Chen Lanjun was obviously unique, with the branches wrapped in elegant white gauze and gently tied with a long ribbon. A large bunch of gladiolus, light purple and white, sparse and orderly, gentle and warm.

It is very rare to use gladiolus as a bouquet. Chen Lanjun didn't recognize it at first, but it didn't stop her from being happy.

It was said that the bouquets were donated to all graduates by a kind-hearted person, but at this point, she understood that the kind-hearted person must be Shao Qinghe.

Smiling, she pressed the bouquet close to her chest and said, "Maybe I'm luckier."

Names were called in groups of five and they went on stage to wait to receive their diplomas from the department head.

When it was Chen Lanjun's turn, she stepped onto the wooden steps with her classmates, turned around and stood still, subconsciously looking at the area where her family was.

Her parents, older sister, younger sister, and her little niece, who stood on tiptoe and tried her best to watch, all smiled at her. That smile, filled with joy and pride, soothed her heart.

But when she was about to look away, she suddenly stopped.

There was a little sunshine at the edge of the crowd. Shao Qinghe was standing there, also looking at her and smiling.

That smile was no different from the one my family members had just shown.

The flowers arrived and she was not late for her summer graduation ceremony.

“Congratulations on your graduation.”

The voice of the dean drew Chen Lanjun's attention back. She lowered her eyes, said thank you, and took the diploma in her hand.

After the ceremony, Chen Lanjun walked towards her family.

She opened her arms and hugged her family.

Such a big family, all dressed neatly and beautifully, attracted many people to look at them, and they all gave them friendly smiles.

Chen Zhisheng, who was usually quite silent, even rubbed his eyes. Zheng Mei laughed at him, "Hey, it's the day of my second sister's graduation. Why are you acting like this?"

"My eyes are not good, I just rub them."

Chen Zhisheng is stubborn.

Except for him, the whole family laughed.

My younger sister held up her camera and said, "Well, today is a great day and now the whole family is here. Shall we take a family photo together on campus?"

"That's a good idea," Feng Jun agreed. "After taking the photo, develop it, make a custom glass frame, and hang it on the wall at home."

Zheng Mei and Chen Zhisheng also nodded. The youngest niece, Xixi, was the happiest. She clapped her hands and danced: "Let's take a family photo! Let's take a family photo!"

As they were talking, the dormitory head who was standing nearby and was on good terms with Chen Lanjun volunteered: "Let me take pictures for you guys? There are too many people here, but we can go to the back of the auditorium, where it's quiet and the scenery is good, and it will look good in the pictures."

"Oh, thank you so much, classmate."

As they were talking, the group decided to move to another location to take a family photo.

When turning around, Chen Lanjun saw Shao Qinghe far away in the crowd again.

He was still standing there, probably realizing that she was going to leave with her family, so he raised his hand and waved, indicating that she would see him later.

Ever since Chen Lanjun told him her thoughts, he has always been like this and never does anything to embarrass her.

Four years passed, and apart from a box of letters that had accumulated, he certainly hadn't revealed any signs in front of his teachers and friends.

Chen Lanjun pursed her lips and whispered, "Wait for me, please?"

She stepped out of the shade of the trees, walked in the sunlight, squeezed a path through the crowded crowd, and ran straight towards Shao Qinghe.

Shao Qinghe had already turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a faint voice of "Ah He".

The voice was drowned in the clamor of people and was not real. Shao Qinghe almost thought he had misheard, but because the voice sounded very much like Chen Lanjun, he stopped and looked back.

However, she really came to him.

Her white skirt fluttered in the wind.

Shao Qinghe subconsciously took two steps forward: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Lanjun shook her head: "Do you want to take a photo with us?"

For a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Take a photo with us?

We mean...

Shao Qinghe's eyebrows moved and he tilted his head slightly: "Do you want me to take a photo with your family?"

Chen Lanjun nodded and asked confidently, "Yes, and as a boyfriend, are you willing?"

There was silence for a few seconds.

Shao Qinghe said: "Can you tell me again?"

"I say," Chen Lanjun stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to take a photo with my family?"

"want!"

Shao Qinghe said this word louder than hers.

Chen Lanjun laughed and scolded: "Keep your voice down, I can hear you."

She reached out her hand, held his hand and walked forward.

Shao Qinghe obediently let her lead him. After walking a few steps, she asked again: "Will it be inappropriate for me to go directly like this? I wonder if my hair has become messy..."

"Don't worry, pretty boy," Chen Lanjun said, "I like the person. My family will like him too."

She turned around and smiled at him: "Besides, you are so likable. Aren't you always confident in yourself?"

Shao Qinghe didn't say anything, but just squeezed her hand.

He had never known before that when one is truly in love with someone, no matter how high his or her attitude is at ordinary times, he or she will unconsciously lower it.

"Mom, Dad, sister, little sister, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Shao Qinghe."

Pulling the man in front of his family, Chen Lanjun introduced Shao Qinghe directly with a frank attitude.

Caught off guard, Zheng Mei and Chen Zhisheng looked at each other in surprise. Feng Jun, who knew Shao Qinghe's identity, remained silent and stood aside without comment. Today was a good day for the second sister to graduate. Even if she had any dissatisfaction, it would be difficult for her to say it in public, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the second sister.

The younger sister looked at this tall and handsome brother curiously and asked, "What does boyfriend... mean?"

"It's a boyfriend," Xixi tried to explain. Seeing that Zhujun didn't react, she thought for a moment and changed her words, "It's a boyfriend. Yes, a boyfriend!"

The younger sister's eyes widened: "Wow, sister, your partner is so beautiful."

Zheng Mei restrained her gaze on her future son-in-law.

Her second daughter has impeccable taste. The person she chooses is outstanding no matter how you look at it.

Zheng Mei cleared her throat: "Okay, little sister, stop making trouble. This classmate is called..."

"Shao Qinghe, just call me Xiao Shao." Shao Qinghe said modestly.

Hearing this name, Feng Jun, who knew the inside story, wanted to laugh. My goodness, Mr. Shao, the all-powerful man in Hong Kong, suddenly became "Little Shao" in front of her mother.

Zheng Mei naturally didn't know, and said in a very friendly tone: "Xiao Shao, since you are here, let's take a few more photos together."

"I couldn't ask for more." Shao Qinghe nodded.

When taking pictures, he stood silently on the left side of Chen Lanjun.

When the shutter clicks, this moment is recorded and becomes an indelible memory.
