Chapter 107 Graduation Ceremony
Everything on the Huazhong University of Science and Technology campus remains the same as before, except that the weather is foggy and I can't see the road ahead clearly when walking on the path.
Suddenly, a voice came from the front, "Brother Xiao, something bad has happened."
Finally, several figures appeared in the mist. Xiao Xuanjin, who was standing in the middle, had a backpack on his shoulder and looked sloppy. "You look so irritable. What happened?"
"Su Mi is dead."
After a brief pause in the atmosphere, Xiao Xuanjin suddenly laughed, as if he couldn't believe it, "Who are you talking about?"
"Su Mi, she died in a car accident."
"Oh." Xiao Xuanjin seemed to have heard something that particularly excited him. "I didn't expect the retribution to come so soon. It's better for her to die. People like her shouldn't be alive."
"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about?" No one else expected him to react like this.
"Where is the grave?"
"Brother Xiao, why are you looking for a grave?"
Xiao Xuanjin's face was distorted to the point of being horrifying. "Dig the corpse out and whip it."
"Dig out the corpse and whip it!!"
These words were like a whirlpool that stirred heaven and earth. The picture suddenly disappeared and Su Mi woke up from his bed in shock.
I gasped for breath and touched the sweat on my forehead, then I realized with surprise that it was a dream.
For five years, such dreams have appeared from time to time, bothering her.
It was clearly a long time ago, but he still wouldn't let her go.
Some people say that dreams can reflect one's truest feelings. Su Mi felt that it was probably the last time they met. The few words Xiao Xuanjin left behind took root and sprouted in her heart, and have even grown stronger over the years.
Some people also say that dreams are the opposite of reality. Su Mi thought that this must be a lie made up by people who don't believe in nightmares to comfort themselves.
She shook her head. No matter what it was, she should try to quit. If she couldn't, she could see a psychiatrist.
I got up, poured a glass of water, and looked up at the watch.
Today is her graduate school graduation day, and she has to be in good shape.
When she finished packing and walked out of the bedroom, she saw Su Tang coming out from the next room yawning.
Su Tang is now a junior in college. Whenever she has free time, she will come here to see her.
"Sister, are you leaving?"
"Well, are you coming with me, or are you going later?"
"Aren't your parents going to attend your graduation ceremony as well? I'll go with them when they get here."
"That's fine. I'll go first."
"Okay, sis, slow down."
…
When the car arrived at the school, what caught our eyes was an ancient European castle with majestic and solid stone walls and tall towers.
The ivy-covered walls bear traces of time, and the arched windows with sculptures exude a unique academic atmosphere.
Get off the car and feel the exotic breeze.
Su Mi walked all the way to the auditorium, surrounded by classmates from different countries, speaking a variety of languages.
In the auditorium, she saw many students wearing master's degree gowns and square hats had already arrived.
She went over to greet them, then stood on the stage waiting for the ceremony to begin.
As solemn and melodious music sounded, the leaders and guests gave speeches first.
Then comes the certification process.
The principal began to read out the names on the stage.
Until he called out, "Liam."
Su Mi walked towards the stage. Her long gown swayed slightly as she walked. The tassel of her square hat swayed lightly. Under the hat, she revealed a gorgeous face that shocked the entire audience.
She took the heavy degree certificate from the principal's hand, and the whole audience burst into applause.
He found his mentor in the audience and smiled softly.
By the time she came out of the auditorium, she had just taken a group photo with a few friends.
Then a boy called me, "Liam, how about having dinner together tonight?"
"Sorry, I already have an appointment."
After that, she pointed to a few people who had already arrived not far away, and the boy immediately understood, "Okay, next time."
But just as the boy left, a few more came, "Liam, are you coming to the dinner party today?"
“I may not be able to go.”
"That's a shame. Let's meet in private later."
A few people in the distance were looking at the boys who kept coming up to Su Mi and trying to chat her up.
Su Boren felt that this was not a good sign. "I have to quickly choose a good husband for Qingqing. I can't let her be deceived by some young boy outside."
Wei Rushuang agreed with her husband's words, "I think it's okay, but you have to find someone Qingqing likes."
Su Tang stood aside and listened to her parents' discussion without saying a word, thinking that she had to talk to her sister as soon as possible.
Gu Mucheng also came today, and naturally heard the conversation between Su's parents. His eyes were fixed on the graceful person in the distance, and his pupils narrowed quietly.
Su Mi, who was far away, finally sent the man away and walked over. "You must have been waiting for a long time."
"Baby, where do you want to go to celebrate tonight?"
"Or will Daddy choose the place?"
"Sister, I think we should go home to eat. I'm tired of eating outside."
Su Mi looked at his parents and sister with a gentle gaze and a warm smile, "I can do anything."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Muqing, "Brother Muqing, you are here too."
"Well, how can I be absent on a day like this?" He was wearing a white shirt and straight trousers today. He had handsome features and a clean temperament.
"Thank you for coming."
Su Boren and Wei Rushuang looked at the screen of their conversation and exchanged glances silently.
Wei Rushuang asked, "Mu Qing, I haven't seen your parents for a while. What are they busy with recently?"
Hearing Aunt Shuang asking him a question, Gu Muqing replied politely, "They have been out of town recently and should be back soon."
"That's good. We haven't gotten together for a while. I'll go get together with them when I get back."
Su Tang looked at her parents' intentions and wondered if they were planning to marry into the Gu family...
In the end, the group ate out and chose a three-star Michelin hotel.
In the private room, Su Boren and Wei Rushuang sat at the upper seats, Su Tang sat next to Wei Rushuang, and Su Mi and Gu Muqing sat next to Su Boren.
During the meeting, all the discussions were about future plans.
"Qingqing, now that you have graduated, it's almost time for you to go back to the company."
The Su family's huge business certainly needs someone to inherit.
Su Mi has always known that this is his responsibility, so he did not resist, "Well, after I finish dealing with things here, I will return home."
"Well, your mother and I will go back first. We still have some things to do."
Su Tang, who was eating langoustines, raised her head and glanced at her sister who was still unaware of the situation. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Sister, have you not been in a relationship in all these years?"
Su Mi scooped a spoonful of gold foil jelly and ate it slowly. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Why, are you concerned about your sister's love life?"
"I'm just asking."
Gu Muqing chimed in, "I wonder if my little sister has found a boyfriend?"
Su Tang wondered how the topic could be turned to her. Seeing her parents' scrutinizing eyes, she said, "Of course I want to talk. I'm already a junior in college."
"Who are you talking to? Tell the truth." Wei Rushuang asked directly.
Su Boren also looked worried, "How can you be trusted, kid? Why didn't you tell your family?"
