Chapter 428: The flawless figure in the breeze (thanks to the leader of Sugar Frosted Lettuce)

"Today is the day of graduation."

On the lawn of the academy, the teacher stood on a white wooden platform and gave a speech. Below were students standing or sitting. Everyone looked at the teacher and occasionally spoke in a low voice.

Compared with the solemn opening ceremony, the graduation ceremony of Edes Academy seemed particularly relaxed. The teacher also smiled at these grown-up children, without strict discipline as in the past.

The camera on the side quietly recorded the scene in front of it. Occasionally, a student ran across the grass, holding a wooden sword in his hand and chasing and cheering with his companions. Seeing that he disturbed the speech here, he was embarrassed to quiet down.

A rabbit with three colors of orange, white and gray ran across the grass. It was picked up by a pair of hands and placed in his arms. The fingertips felt the rabbit's nervous heartbeat and smooth fur. There was a little warmth between the rabbit's fur. The hands gently soothed the little guy and let it slowly relax.

It was a rare sunny day. The teacher stood on the high platform and talked about the achievements of the past four years, the glory of the school, the large-scale activities, and every impressive student. Everyone listened with a smile, and occasionally turned their eyes to those who cared about in their youth.

The young faces were shining in the sun, and the colors of the school uniforms were also particularly bright. Everyone sat on the grass and sang a song softly. There were off-tune and laughter, pauses and forgetting of words, but it was still so unforgettable.

The girl in a black and red school skirt was surrounded by everyone. She wore a dark red and dark blue double rose badge on her chest. Her long black and gentle hair was combed like a dreamy famous painting. Her blue eyes were like gems under the fine sunlight. The snow-white skin and the black tight uniform set off each other, showing her immature and beautiful figure, a perfect fusion of the two strange temperaments of purity and enchantment.

"Don't run around, it will be hard to find you if you go out now."

The girl comforted the rabbit in her arms, gently pressed its head with her fingers, and felt the touch of the fur from her fingertips.

"...Although I have told you about many students' deeds, there is one name that I can never forget. She is worthy of being the most magnificent and moving gem of our Edes." The teacher on the white wooden stage changed his voice.

"Now, please ask Heshia Tilan to tell us a few words. Whether it is the feelings at this moment, the emotions of nostalgia, or the words of parting, we are all looking forward to it."

After that, everyone looked at the girl sitting on the lawn, and she raised her head belatedly.

Alas, is it my turn to speak?

Although it was expected, it was still a bit unexpected when she really went on stage, because she did not prepare the content of the speech specifically.

Everything in this graduation ceremony was very relaxed, and there was basically no mandatory content, and it was also hoped that everyone would leave more relaxed and happy memories.

Putting down the rabbit in her arms, the girl gently covered the sunlight above her head with one hand, and then walked to the wooden stage.

The black leather shoes stepped on the wooden stage, making a slight sound, and the grass became quiet unconsciously. Everyone looked at the girl on the stage, with hope and expectation.

Feeling the expectation in everyone's hearts, the girl prepared a little, and then spoke.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Her voice was calm, without the deep affection she had when she sang or the coldness she had when she gave speeches.

"Actually, I haven't thought about what to say." At this point, Tilan smiled, and this natural and frank look infected everyone, and everyone smiled.

"It always feels like time flies. I was so nervous when I entered high school in the first year. It seems like it was just yesterday. I was actually a little timid at that time. I prepared for my first speech on stage for a long time and I had to waste

my writing several times." "At first I just wrote according to the template, but soon the teacher said that there was no need to be so restrained. He told me not to follow the template, but to express my emotions and thoughts according to my own preferences and ideas."

"So, there was that unique and immature speech. What I said was very grand and far-reaching. I feel a little shy and embarrassed when I think about it now."

"Fortunately, no one laughed at me at the time, which gave me great comfort and encouragement at the time."

"Humans are very wonderful creatures. They have different states in each stage. If we use painting as an analogy, the paintings of ten-year-old children are full of messy doodles, full of immaturity and shortcomings, but the paintings of that age exude unrestrained fantasies and wonderful views, which are precious."

"Ten years later, we are like painters who have mastered the skills and have a better understanding of the world. Although the paintings we draw are becoming more and more realistic and gorgeous, they seem to lack a kind of unrestrained romance, a kind of unconventional beauty that breaks away from all kinds of thinking inertia."

"Experience helps us avoid various dangers and difficulties, but it also imprisons people's ideas unconsciously. This kind of restraint is invisible and difficult to detect."

"I don't want to refute this kind of thinking inertia or say it is bad."

"What I want to express is that every stage of life has its own beauty. The paintings I drew when I was ten years old may not be worse than the paintings I drew ten years later with superb skills. Perhaps they are more bold and extraordinary, flamboyant and beautiful than the paintings I drew ten years later."

"And we, ten years later, don't have to immerse ourselves in the past. Now we know more, understand the truth of the world more, have seen more beauty and colors, and can break the constraints of inertia and discover more possibilities through reflection and vigilance."

“The past is like the reflection of a lake under the setting sun, which is missed but cannot be pursued. The future is like the dawn that has not yet risen, still shrouded in hazy fog. Now we are standing on the wilderness under the starlight, and the scenery we see at this moment is the most unique beauty in life. It is neither as naive as the past, nor as full of twilight and loss as the future. It is a moment of light that cannot be replicated.”

“There is no need to regret the childishness and naivety of the past, nor to think that the mature self in the future will be better. I like everything about today because it is in my hands, in front of my eyes, and in my ears, telling me its own unique beauty.”

In the bright sunshine and wind, the girl expressed the thoughts that emerged in her heart at graduation, as if she stretched her hand into the wind and caught a leaf that flashed across her heart.

After the speech, the teacher called everyone together, and after making sure that no one was missing, he asked everyone to stand in front of the camera for a group photo. During the photo, Tilan was surrounded by students and sat on the grass in the middle. Dolores was on her left and Avni was on her right. Other familiar companions also gathered around her, sitting on the grass or standing behind Tilan. Everyone looked at the camera naturally, and the blue sky was like a perfect background.

The breeze blew gently, and this scene full of laughter and youth was recorded by the camera. As the third color-level singer, Heshia Tilan, this short speech was repeatedly mentioned by people in later generations and became a must-see program for every graduating student.
