09 (Revised)
When Pan Heng went to various major counters to look for perfume, the graduation ceremony of S University also began.
The senior graduates returned to their alma mater, and after listening to the speeches of the school leaders and a series of other steps, they finally received their own graduation certificates and degree certificates.
Ye Han changed into the school's uniform bachelor's gown and bachelor's cap, revealing his smooth forehead and bright facial features.
Her long dark hair was half draped over her chest and half tucked behind her ears. She had fair skin and looked like a perfect beauty and top student.
Around her neck she wore a necklace given by Cheng Mengting. The fallen malachite looked like a touch of emerald green on a beautiful jade, revealing a kind of restrained luxury.
On the wrist that Cheng Mengting was holding with her was a coil bracelet from T that Ye Han had given her. It was simple and elegant, and very suitable for her temperament.
Cheng Mengting couldn't let go of the pink sapphire on the bracelet. When she received the gift, she was not only surprised but also completely astonished.
As a close friend, she clearly understands the relationship between Ye Han and his family.
The other party is gradually cutting off ties with his parents. During his four years in college, he had to earn his living expenses by himself. His daily life was not affluent, and almost all of his spare time was spent on part-time jobs.
She never thought she would receive such a valuable gift.
In response, Ye Han smiled and explained: "The salary for this job is not bad, I can afford it."
Cheng Mengting saw light in her eyes, a color that was a mixture of confidence and passion, splendid in the glow of summer.
She could feel the change in the other person, just like a dusty pearl that suddenly had the dust wiped off and became more dazzling than before.
When taking graduation photos, the two of them stood closely together, and then the rest of the class stood in two rows, throwing their hats into the air at the same time before the camera took the picture.
At that moment, the scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to look straight at. Some people threw their hats crookedly, some people were too late to move, and some people's hair flew up -
But everyone's face was filled with bright smiles. The camera captured countless laughter and joy at this moment, and also kept the beautiful moments in memory forever.
Unfortunately, memories are not all good, and there are uninvited guests who insist on coming to your door.
Before Ye Han noticed, Cheng Mengting rolled her eyes: "Damn, Lin is here to disgust me again. How dare she come here! Hanhan, ignore her."
As soon as Ye Han heard it, he knew it was Lin Yuejia who came.
The latter delayed his studies because of taking a leave of absence and had to make up all the credits to get his diploma, so he did not graduate in the same batch as them.
Ye Han didn't feel anything. He glanced at him casually and felt that the other person seemed to be a lot thinner than he remembered. His eyes were swollen and dark under his eyes, revealing a kind of haggardness that was visibly visible to the naked eye.
If Cheng Mengting hadn't reminded her, she might have had to look carefully before she could recognize the other person.
In fact, she didn't have much aversion to Lin Yuejia. After all, she had made her see the pitfalls of love.
But the premise is not to appear in front of her.
Lin Yuejia had already seen Ye Han.
It was like she was born to be in the spotlight and could be spotted in the crowd at a glance.
The other party looked even more beautiful in his bachelor's gown, with a classical face and bookish calmness, and an excellent temperament. If S University held a competition for the most beautiful graduation photos, Ye Han would undoubtedly win the first place.
This contrast immediately made her mood become bad, and her original desire to show off was overshadowed.
Lin Yuejia was born in an ordinary family. Like most parents, they demanded their children to have outstanding academic performance.
She lived up to everyone's expectations and became the top student in her elementary school class, the top student in the town's junior high school, and was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city with excellent grades.
Lin Yuejia always felt that she was different.
She is a good student and looks good. She has received love letters from many boys. She is a good student in the eyes of her teachers, a good daughter to her parents, and a role model for other classmates. How can she be the same as others?
However, the competition in the No. 1 Middle School in the city was so fierce that she couldn't even make it into the top ten in the class.
What was even more unacceptable to her was that those classmates who lived in the city not only performed better than her in academics and had better family backgrounds, but they also could play various musical instruments, quote classics in debates, and were very knowledgeable.
This was the first time Lin Yuejia's self-esteem was shattered.
She was no longer the focus of her classmates or the attention of her teachers, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.
She was uncontrollably jealous of others and resentful of her own family.
Why wasn't she born in a rich family? Why didn't she have the conditions to learn those musical instruments?!
But deep down she still firmly believed that she was different.
The second time I was broken was in college.
On the first day of school, Lin Yuejia heard Ye Han's name from many people.
Not only because of her good looks, but also because she was admitted with the highest score in her major.
It is said that Ye Han's grades were good enough to get into S University's popular major, but she chose the unpopular botany, which makes people wonder if she filled in the wrong application form.
Later I found out that the other party just liked me.
like?
Lin Yuejia chewed on these two words silently, feeling very uncomfortable. It was the first time she knew that she could choose a major just because she liked it.
She came here because her scores were low, and she had no choice at all.
After this, she was always overshadowed by Ye Han.
The other person is good-looking, ranks first in all professional courses, has won national awards, is a favorite in the eyes of teachers and counselors, and a goddess in everyone's heart. Even the arrogant Cheng Mengting wants to be her friend.
But she was so far inferior to him, and it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she could never catch up.
She really didn't understand. She was the little princess of the family and the envy of everyone when she was young. Why did she change when she grew up and became an ordinary person that no one paid attention to?
Reality shattered her fantasy time and time again.
Lin Yuejia didn't know who to hate, so she hated everyone.
She hated her parents for giving birth to her because they didn't have the family conditions, she hated those people who were prettier and better than her, she hated this unpopular major, and she hated herself.
Unfortunately, hatred is useless. She has to find a way to get rid of this situation.
Liang Cheng, a rich second-generation senior from the International College, is handsome and rich. He has been pursuing Ye Han for more than two months, but the latter remains indifferent.
Even as an 'assistant', Ye Han's friend, she was invited to her high-end restaurant several times, just to understand Ye Han's preferences.
It was the first time that Lin Yuejia went to a western restaurant with an average per capita fee of over 2,000 yuan. The luxurious decoration, beautiful environment, carefully prepared food and meticulous service were like entering another world, which made her envious and addicted.
Liang Cheng's handsomeness, thoughtfulness and affection made her unable to help but be moved.
Since Ye Han is dismissive of this, why can't she fight for it?
If she can get it, she can escape the fate of ordinary people.
If she can't get it, and she doesn't tell him, and neither does he, who knows? Just cover it up.
So, she did.
Fortunately, she succeeded.
There was a hint of disbelief in my heart.
She, Lin Yuejia, actually snatched Ye Han's boyfriend away? !
It’s hard to describe the feeling, but I felt a little secretly happy inside, as if I had finally found a way to defeat the opponent.
Ye Han is actually no more than that.
This sense of accomplishment hadn't been felt for a long, long time, and she couldn't help but fall in love with this feeling.
Too bad I only experienced it once.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuejia took a deep breath, walked up to Ye Han and said, "Hanhan, I'm sorry. But Senior Liang Cheng and I...we are together."
Ye Han secretly held her best friend who was extremely angry, and looked her up and down carefully, as if she was thinking. After a few seconds, a hint of realization emerged, and she nodded gently and said: "It turned out to be you. Long time no see, congratulations."
The girl looked normal and spoke in a gentle tone, but to Lin Yuejia's ears it was like a loud slap in the face.
Seeing the latter's suddenly frozen expression, Cheng Mengting barely managed to maintain the expression on her face, and she was almost laughing to death in her heart.
This is truly murderous and heartbreaking.
Lin Yuejia came over here eager to show off, but the other party almost didn't even remember who she was. It was a dimensionality reduction attack, denying the existence of this person from the source.
This kind of indifference is the most painful.
"Is there anything else? We haven't finished taking our graduation photos yet." Ye Han's tone was indifferent, with no expression on his face, and he obviously treated her as a complete stranger.
Her height is 170cm. Even boys of average height will look short in front of her, let alone girls.
The natural height advantage gave people a sense of oppression from being superior, and the alienation in the words made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Lin Yuejia felt that there seemed to be something different about the other party and couldn't help but take a step back.
When she mentioned the graduation photos, it really touched her sore spot. She had always prided herself on being a good student, but she didn't even get a diploma.
Everyone here was wearing a bachelor's gown, except her.
Lin Yuejia clenched her fists, and tears suddenly fell when she turned her back. She didn't know why she was crying.
I just feel like everything I do seems to be meaningless.
A self-directed...joke.
…
Lin Yuejia walked for a while with a stiff body, then looked back at Ye Han who was surrounded by stars.
In the glance just now, she saw the valuable necklace on the other person's neck. If she was not mistaken, it cost more than 30,000 yuan.
I don’t know which boyfriend or suitor gave it to me.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuejia suddenly wanted to cry.
Liang Chengke had never given her such an expensive gift before. Sometimes, she didn't even know whether they were in a relationship or not.
It seemed that since that night, everything had changed and turned into her one-sided and humble flattery.
One keeps giving in, while the other is fearless, which has led to the current deformed relationship.
However, now, Lin Yuejia can only hold on to the other party tightly, because this is her only chance.
Her major is so unpopular and she took a year off from school, so it will be difficult for her to find a job after graduation.
Even if I find it, what’s the use of a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan?
Just the necklace Ye Han was wearing was worth more than her one year's salary.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuejia wiped away her tears and her eyes suddenly became firm.
She is right!
Liang Cheng is her best choice and she will not regret it.

"...Hanhan, let me tell you something to make you feel better." Cheng Mengting flipped through the messages in the mobile group a few days ago and smiled with gloating: "I just found out too, Liang Cheng's family is about to go bankrupt, hahaha."
"It is said that all of Liang Cheng's credit cards have been suspended, and the luxury cars under his name are being auctioned off. His family is anxious to find a suitable marriage partner for him."
For people in the business world, business marriage is one of the most commonly used means.
However, given the Liang family’s current situation, it is not easy to find a marriage partner.
Even if the daughter is love-brained, the other party's parents have to consider whether the company is worth saving and whether there is potential for support.
After all, in the business world, profits always come before everything else.
"However, girls nowadays are not as easy to deceive as before. Who wants a scumbag nowadays, not to mention that we need 'targeted poverty alleviation'. If you have that much money, wouldn't it be better to raise an obedient little puppy?"
Cheng Mengting complained bluntly.
Ye Han also smiled, and Lin Yuejia's words flashed through his mind, "She is with Liang Cheng."
so--
"Well, there's absolutely no hope for Lin Yuejia." Seeing the questioning look in her best friend's eyes, Cheng Mengting shook her head, "In the end, it will definitely be a waste of time."
If the marriage is successful, the person to be married to will only be a daughter of a wealthy family, and she will have nothing to do with him; if the marriage is not successful, it will be difficult for the two of them to be together.
Dating is dating, and marriage is marriage.
In this regard, men are more realistic than women.
She gave up her studies, self-esteem, sense of morality and friendship, but in the end she got nothing. I wonder if Lin Yuejia will regret it.
But no matter what, Cheng Mengting would not sympathize with her.
It's all her own choice.

The four years of college life are completely over.
Ye Han packed up the things in the dormitory one by one. Unnecessary books and clothes had been donated before, so the luggage was not much and could be loaded into an ordinary van.
After moving several large boxes and some small items back to the dormitory with a cart, Ye Han will officially live in Nanshan Botanical Garden from today.
The environment here is very good. There is a quiet bamboo forest as soon as you go out. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. She changed the room from a four-person room to a two-person room, making it similar to the twin room in a hotel, so it is less crowded.
As the director of the garden, she has a room to herself with an independent bathroom and wardrobe. There are a few pots of green ivy that she brought from the dormitory by the window, with leaves stretching downwards, adding a touch of green.
In short, Ye Han is very satisfied with the environment here.
Perhaps the only thing you need to prevent and control is summer mosquitoes.
Ye Han looked at the big bump on his ankle, took off his shoes, sprayed them with toilet water, and then lit a plate of mosquito coils.
She has always been attracted to mosquitoes, so she always carries various supplies such as toilet water and anti-itching lotion in her bag, and she rarely goes bare-legged even in summer.
But some mosquitoes are so annoying that they bite her even through clothes, and her skin is very sensitive, so a big bump appears every time.
'It would be nice if there was a plant that could kill mosquitoes.'
Ye Han thought of the Venus flytrap, which is said to be able to catch mosquitoes with its "clamps" and then slowly digest them.
But she has never raised one before, so she might try raising two pots when she has time.
That night, despite being a little tired, Ye Han still watered the plants in the garden with diluted nutrient solution.
The light was dim, so she didn't take a close look. She fell asleep soon after taking a shower, and didn't hear the plants sucking frantically or trying to sprout.
Wang Hongnian and Liu Chunling came back from vacation and felt that the botanical garden was different as soon as they entered it.
The first feeling is that the evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, etc. on both sides of the road have become energetic, with emerald green leaves, as if they had just been washed by rain, full branches and leaves, and full of vitality everywhere.
But they didn't think much about it. After more than half a month of loosening the soil, weeding, and fertilizing, plus careful care afterwards, the results finally showed.
The second feeling was that the lake water became exceptionally clear, and you could see the bottom. In the rippling water, you could see the floating water plants, and even the fluff on the lotus leaf stems was clearly visible.
'Was the lake water so clear before?'
Wang Hongnian was standing by the lake while thinking, and then he saw his own clear reflection and was immediately shocked.
It is like a bright mirror, reflecting everyone.
He watched the smelly and turbid artificial lake become like this. It was said that a lot of money was spent on its treatment. Thinking of the incomprehensible instruments built in the water and the complicated construction process, maybe the effect was good.
Liu Chunling could smell the fragrance of lotus flowers from afar.
The fragrance is fragrant but not strong, distant and refreshing, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.
She walked onto the promenade over the water, looked into the distance, and was stunned.
The lotus flowers that were just about to bloom a few days ago have now all blossomed. Small buds have also slowly grown out of the originally half-dead pedicels. As if they were trying to see who is taller, they are desperately growing upwards to receive the sun's bath.
The round lotus leaves covered most of the lake surface, with fresh dewdrops hanging on them. Although it was still not as good as a pond full of lotus flowers, it made people feel that time was not far away.
She couldn't quite describe some of the lotus flowers; they seemed so beautiful.
Especially the white one, its petals are as transparent as jade, as white as snow, and crystal clear. The petals bloom in layers, making people unable to take their eyes off.
"Why didn't I think lotus flowers were so beautiful before?" Liu Chunling muttered to herself.
There were lotus flowers in the park where she had walked before, and there were more of them than here, but she only glanced at them for a few seconds. These ones in front of her were so beautiful that she stared at them for more than two minutes without realizing it.
However, Liu Chunling did not think much about it. It was the lotus blooming season, so it was normal for the lotus to bloom.
I see that the lake water has become clearer. It should be the improvement of living environment and timely fertilization that have cultivated such beautiful lotus flowers.
Walking back along the wooden plank road, she accidentally saw another kind of aquatic plant in the lake, a species she had never seen before - the leaves had thorns on the surface, curled up near the water surface, and were very large, a bit like the shell of a durian.
And there are quite a lot of them. They are connected to each other underwater to form a huge colony, which looks a bit scary.
What's this?
Was there anything like this in the lake before?
At best, Liu Chunling is a gardener, responsible for tree transplanting, planting, pruning, weeding, and pest control. She doesn't know much about aquatic plants, let alone this tropical crop whose leaves have not yet fully expanded.
"Aunt Liu, this is the Victoria amazonica, known as the 'king of aquatic flowers'. It is still in its growth stage and will be spectacular when its leaves unfold." Ye Han came over for some reason and stood beside her and explained softly.
Because the weather was hot, she changed into a plain white dress. Her beautiful eyes and eyebrows reminded Liu Chunling of the blooming lotus she had just seen, and she couldn't help but be dazed.
Ye Han looked at the Victoria amazonica growing rapidly in the high temperature environment, and his expectations grew even stronger.
It is estimated that it won’t be long before we can see huge circular blades floating on the water like small boats. The visual effect will be very shocking.
Just when I was feeling excited, the inorganic voice of the system suddenly sounded: [A new task has been issued, please check it in time. ]
