Chapter 111 Chapter 111
Chapter 111 (Exclusive)
The Coming of Age Ceremony of Haicheng No. 1 High School is held one day after the college entrance examination every year. It is an activity that is loved and valued by teachers and students.
This event is a combination of graduation ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony, and the most important event is the graduation dance.
The choice of dance partner is decided by the students themselves. They can invite their own friends, parents, teachers, or the cafeteria auntie... Choose anyone you want to invite and spend an unforgettable day with you.
Lu Mingqian had prepared for this event long ago, and with a little ingenuity, he became Shen Baili's dance partner at her graduation prom.
By the time Zhu Zhitao and others realized it belatedly and invited Shen Baili, it was already too late.
Ji Qi and Meng Jiuan directly called Lu Mingqian a despicable villain and wanted to fight for the opportunity to become Shen Baili's dance partner again.
Lu Mingqian of course...of course he disagrees.
You can give up anything except this.
Shen Baili walked towards him slowly. She was wearing a bright red knee-length skirt today, which made her fair skin look even more delicate and translucent, as if it had a layer of soft light filter. Her previously short hair had grown longer and was braided into an exquisite princess braid by her mother. With black hair and snow-white skin, the girl was as passionate and bright as the sun.
Lu Mingqian held his breath unconsciously and stared intently.
"Lu Mingqian, you're here!"
Shen Baili smiled brightly and warmly welcomed her good friend. She looked at Lu Mingqian and her eyes lit up: "You look very handsome today."
Lu Mingqian modestly, unable to suppress the smile on his face: "Thank you, you look beautiful today."
"Red suits you very well."
It was so dazzling that Lu Mingqian dared not look directly at it.
Xie Zhiyu and Xie Tingsi appeared behind Shen Baili at some point in time. They had blank expressions on their faces and were staring at her with eager eyes.
You are such a sweet talker, boy.
One Meng Jiuan is not enough, this Lu Mingqian also seems to have ulterior motives.
The radar in Xie Tingsi's heart started ringing.
Lu Mingqian politely asked, "Thank you, Big Brother Xie, Second Brother Xie, good morning."
Xie Zhiyu: "Good morning."
Xie Tingsi: "You came really early."
Xie Tingsi stared at Lu Mingqian and looked at him carefully. This boy looked a bit like the type that Sui Sui liked.
His gaze was too naked for Lu Mingqian to ignore. He asked doubtfully, "Second Brother Xie, is there something on my face?"
Xie Zhiyu glanced at Xie Tingsi, signaling him to stop.
Shen Baili had her back to them and did not notice the flashes of swords and sabers in their eyes.
She quickly replied, "A bit handsome!"
Lu Mingqian, who had just been sociable, blushed visibly: "Thank you."
Shen Baili: "You are shy, hahahaha."
"Come in and sit for a while. We'll leave right away."
Lu Mingqian walked into the house facing the death stares from his two brothers.
Xie Tingsi: "Sui Sui, isn't your second brother handsome today?"
Shen Baili didn't even turn his head: "Handsome!"
"Big brother is also very handsome!"
Xie Tingsi was immediately coaxed into believing that Lu Mingqian was just a little bit handsome. Both he and his elder brother were extremely handsome!
Xie Zhiyu understood what he was thinking at a glance, and there was a hint of helplessness in his deep eyes.
Sui Sui has been pushing herself too hard these days. It doesn't matter if she falls in love or relaxes in other ways, as long as she is healthy and happy.
…
The luxury car passed through the busy traffic and arrived at the familiar tree-lined small road.
Sunshine and the chirping of summer cicadas.
Shen Baili leaned on the window to look at the scenery, and Lu Mingqian looked at her cautiously.
The play of light and shadow on her delicate and small face is captivating.
The car stopped at the school gate, and Shen Baili opened the door skillfully and got out.
"Wait me a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mingqian walked around half of the car and ran to Shen Baili's side. He stretched out his hand.
"Dear Ms. Sui Sui, may I... hold your hand?"
"Ah?" Shen Baili smiled slyly: "Of course you can."
She got out of the car, took Lu Mingqian's hand and put it around her arm.
Lu Mingqian: "Thank you...thank you."
Although...But...
Xie Tingsi and Xie Zhiyu were in the same car with them. When they got out of the car, their faces were exactly the same.
Shen Wan and the other two got out of another car and saw the two people's unique way of holding hands, and their eyes stayed on them for three seconds.
"Let's take a group photo first!" Shen Baili was full of energy, with no sequelae of staying up late. She called a group of people to check in at the school gate.
A signboard for graduates to check in was specially set up at the school gate, and a special photographer was arranged to take photos of the graduates with Polaroid cameras, which is a small benefit.
Xie Tingsi reacted quickly and ran to the other side of Shen Baili, almost tripping over her skirt, but the latter quickly grabbed him.
"Second...sister, be careful."
Xie Tingsi calmly lifted his wig and took Shen Baili's arm: "Let's go together."
Xie Liuzheng whispered, "Our second daughter is so pretty."
Xie Zhiyu nodded with a smile: "Yes."
Shen Wan: "I heard your acting is very good."
There's nothing wrong with playing a girl.
Xie Tingsi put a lot of thought into attending the graduation ceremony, and in order not to attract attention, he came up with the "good idea" of dressing up as a woman.
Today's Xie Tingsi is not a cool guy, but a tall and arrogant lady with long black hair.
Shen Baili's family took a group photo together at the school gate, with happiness on everyone's face. Finally, this photo was passed around and fell into Shen Wan's hands, and was finally placed on the most conspicuous shelf in the house.
After taking photos with a few people, Shen Baili and Lu Mingqian also took a photo together.
Lu Mingqian's family did not come, so he attended the graduation ceremony alone.
In the eyes of the Lu family, the school's coming-of-age ceremony is not important. What is more important is Lu Mingqian's coming-of-age ceremony banquet, which will be attended by celebrities from all walks of life and is grand and luxurious.
Lu Mingqian had long been accustomed to the Lu family's style and did not feel disappointed.
Friends are his hand-picked family members.
He spent his last summer of high school with his friends and it was an unforgettable experience.
"Three, two, one, eggplant!"
In the bright and sunny day, the gentle and handsome young man hugged his beloved's shoulders at the moment he pressed the shutter button. They both looked towards the camera at the same time with bright and beautiful smiles.
Later, this photo was treasured by Lu Mingqian and placed in the wallet he carried with him, accompanying him across the ocean until...
That's all for later.
"Sui Sui!"
Shen Baili turned around and saw Su Yan running towards her with surprise in her eyes.
Behind her, Su Yun hesitated and stayed where she was, seeming to be hesitant.
"Su Yan." Shen Baili said, "I have something to say to you after the graduation ceremony."
Lu Mingqian noticed Shen Baili's subtle tone. He glanced at the two of them and stood silently behind Shen Baili.
Su Yan was a little confused, but didn't think much about it: "Okay."
Su Yun gritted her teeth and ran over. She took Su Yan's hand and said, "Yan Yan, wait for mom."
Su Yun's eyes were guarded. She was glad that she listened to her brother's advice and did not let Su Bowen come along. Otherwise, she would have run into the Xie family and mistakenly thought that they were provoking her.
Shen Baili didn't stop: "Let's go in first."
She saw Su Yun's wary look, but she didn't care.
Xie Tingsi wanted to say something, but Xie Zhiyu grabbed him and said, "Believe in Suishun."
Shen Wan didn't even look at Su Yun, but Su Yun immediately compared her with the photo in the investigation data.
The descriptions of Shen Wan and Su Bowen are completely different and not weak.
Su Yun was unconsciously attracted to her. She was very satisfied with Su Bowen, but when he chose her, he really didn't want to take any detours.
Su Yun couldn't take her eyes off Shen Wan.
"Isn't Mom Suishun very beautiful?" Su Yan hugged her mother's arm and whispered.
"I was completely mesmerized the first time I saw her at the sports meet. How could there be such a beautiful person in the world?"
Su Yan kept on praising her, and suddenly realized that Su Yun didn't say anything: "Of course, in my eyes, Su Yun is also a unique beauty!"
Su Yun smiled awkwardly, patted Su Yan's arm, and skipped the topic: "Let's take a group photo."
Her gaze shifted away from Shen Baili and Shen Wan, who were the center of attention, and her voice trembled a little.
The entire Xie family came to attend Shen Baili's graduation ceremony, which was just a school event.
Su Yan was sensitive to her emotions: "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
She was worried: "Is he sick?"
"The weather is too hot." Su Yun made an excuse.
"Yanyan! Happy graduation!" Zhu Zhitao rushed over like a happy puppy, pulling Sang Fang's arm.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Su Yun smiled and looked at her daughter's good friends: "Hello, happy graduation."
"Taotao! Fangfang! Happy graduation!" Su Yan smiled happily, having caught the flash of inspiration in her mind.
Suisui was very cold to her just now.
What would she tell herself?
…
The graduation ceremony of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School was very ceremonial. After a brief speech, the principal handed the stage over to the protagonists.
Everyone is the protagonist of his own life.
In the playground, the bell for class suddenly rang.
Zhu Zhitao shuddered and wanted to run to the classroom: "You scared me so much that I even have muscle memory."
Su Yan patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, we have graduated."
The crowd was noisy, and Xie Tingsi spoke up: "After all these years, my soul still trembles when I hear this voice."
Xie Liuzheng: “…Me too.”
The principal smiled and looked at those energetic faces: "Students, class is over!"
"Please always believe in yourself and look to the future."
"Dear students and parents, please go to the graduation party in the auditorium. Happy graduation!"
As she finished her words, a song began to play on the radio. It was the song they played the most throughout their senior year of high school, to the point where their ears were numb.
"I want to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun."
"The world is waiting for me to change it."
"I'm never afraid of others seeing my dreams."
“I can achieve it here.”
…
The people in the back row were moving slowly, and small voices were heard from the crowd. The voices grew louder and louder, and more and more firm... until they turned into a chorus from the entire audience.
"Put aside your worries and always move forward."
"I'm standing in the middle of the stage."
“I believe that I am who I am, and I believe in tomorrow.”
"I believe that youth has no horizon." (Note 1)
…
The youthful enthusiasm and courage of eighteen are gone forever.
The principal stopped walking and looked at the students tenderly, with the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes clearly visible as he smiled.
Teachers and parents also joined the chorus, recording their children's precious moments while singing.
Xie Tingsi put one hand on Shen Baili's shoulder and the other on Xie Liuzheng's shoulder and sang happily.
He joined the chorus, and no one noticed that he was singing out of tune.
Shen Wan looked at her daughter, full of love.
…
The graduation party of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School returns the initiative to the students.
This is their home court, their stage.
Before the dance started, there was a special program prepared by the students, with Su Yan and Ji Qi as the hosts.
Su Yun looked at Su Yan in the center of the stage. Her daughter had grown up without her noticing. She suddenly realized that she had missed many important moments in her life over the past years.
The cell phone vibrated and Su Yun glanced at it. It was a message from Su Bowen.
"When does the graduation ceremony end? Ruirui and I will come to take you home."
Su Yun smiled and waved to Su Yan. After their eyes met, she replied to Su Bowen.
"Shen Wan and the Xie family are here."
Su Bowen didn't reply immediately. After ten minutes of silence, he said, "I'll ask the driver to come over. Ruirui and I will be waiting for you at home."
Su Yun snorted lightly, the only time she felt ironic about Su Bowen's "thoughtfulness".
…
There weren't many programs at the graduation ceremony, but they were all wonderful.
There were adapted musicals, Shaolin martial arts performances, dance performances, skits directed and performed by students, musical instrument performances... and laughter.
"All of my classmates are talented." Xie Tingsi was completely relaxed. He asked, "When will Sui Sui appear?"
Just as Shen Wan was about to speak, Xie Zhiyu answered first: "Shunshun will be the last one to perform. There are still two programs before that."
Xie Tingsi: “Oh oh.”
Xie Liuzheng sat up straighter: "My camera is ready, brother, please help me carry my bag."
Xie Chengyue glanced at the excited Xie Liuzheng, took the bag and put it on his lap, together with another white ladies' bag.
Ten minutes later, Su Yan announced the last program of the graduation ceremony, and the lights suddenly dimmed.
Shen Wan stared intently at the dark stage, and Xie Liuzheng also sat up straight and aimed the camera at the stage.
"Sui Sun is about to perform!" Xie Tingsi sat loosely on the chair, staring straight ahead, his muscles unconsciously tensed.
"Yeah." Xie Zhiyu looked ahead, his dark eyes fixed on the dark stage.
Zhu Zhitao: "Station girls are out! Preview of the divine picture!"
Sang Fang: "Keep going, Sunshun's number one fan."
"Today I am a fan of everyone." Zhu Zhitao stared at the monitor.
"I'm all in!"
Sang Fang couldn't help but reached out and rubbed her frizzy hair: "I'm all in too."
As the piano music fell, a beam of light fell on the side of the stage. Shen Baili sat in front of a white piano, her slender fingers dancing on the keys, and beautiful notes flew out.
Shen Baili moved closer to the microphone, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her small face. Her lips slightly parted, and her clear, healing female voice sounded like the sound of a spring, creating ripples in the silent auditorium.
"Should I put down the heavy shell?"
"Find the blue sky at the end."
"With the gentle wind, it floats gently."
“I don’t feel any pain from the injuries I’ve experienced.” (Note 2)
The snail carries its heavy shell on its back and crawls through the mud, leaving behind heavy and deep tracks mixed with tears and sweat.
Very painful, very tired, very exhausted.
The snail was covered in wounds, but she didn't want to stop. She wanted to...
Her voice was full of emotion, like the breeze that cleared away the mist, the sunlight that fell on the earth and shone on everyone's face.
"I'm going to climb up step by step."
"Wait for the sun to quietly look at its face."
"A small sky has big dreams."
"Wrapped in a heavy shell, looking up gently."
She realizes her dream step by step, towards her future. It doesn't matter if she falls hard, even if it happens thousands of times.
She will reach the end.
The girl is brave and strong, she will save herself from danger again and again, thousands and thousands of times. (Note 3)
Shen Baili's eyelashes trembled slightly, and countless stars twinkled in her beautiful eyes, gathering into a galaxy, dazzling and beautiful.
"I will climb up step by step, and at the highest point I will fly forward on the leaves, letting the wind dry away my sweat and tears."
"One day I will have my own heaven."
The girl with black hair and red skirt sang quietly. Her fragile body contained tremendous energy, which not only inspired herself but also infected others.
The girl is as bright as the sun, passionate and exuberant.
The bright and melodious sound of the harmonica follows the last song, the gentle male voice naturally interrupts, and the piano sounds again.
"Will time really go back one day?"
"Return yours and mine, the long years that can never be returned." (Note 4)
Lu Mingqian appeared in the light singing a song, making his entrance like a prince. He gently patted Ji Qi who had put down his harmonica, and the two of them looked behind them.
Meng Jiuan leaped into the beam of light with a step that showed he didn't care about his relatives. His voice was very magnetic, with a touch of insolence and unrestrainedness.
"If I were asked to choose a picture that represents youth, that picture would be it"
"The tear, the blue sky, and the year I graduated came to mind."
…
After he finished singing the first half of the rap, Ruan Mian's sweet voice seamlessly connected to the second half, with clear pronunciation and a strong sense of rhythm.
She sings without technique, all with emotion.
Joey held her hand tightly, felt the sweat on her palms, and held her hand back, as if he wanted to pass on his courage to her by holding her hand.
Perhaps her encouragement worked, Ruan Mian's voice became steadier and her eyes became brighter.
She looked at her father and mother who were watching her from the stage, with a smile on her lips, a sweet smile rising up.
Ruan Mian's eyes swept across the audience and were suddenly attracted by a familiar figure in the corner.
The young man had a tall stature, dressed in all black, with a black baseball cap on his head covering his face, but Ruan Mian recognized him at first glance; this was Quan Yu!
Quan Yu, who has been out of touch for nearly two years!
Where did he go!?
When Ruan Mian was distracted, Quan Yu called again, as if what she had just seen was an illusion.
Shen Baili put on her school uniform jacket and joined the singing team.
"It's settled, no matter what."
"Let's move towards the future world together."
"This is now, that future, that world."
Ruan Mian was brought back to her senses by Shen Baili's singing. She focused her mind and put Quan Yu aside for the time being.
Beams of light gathered together, and the stage became bright. Shen Baili reached out and high-fived Meng Jiuan and Qiao Yi beside her.
The chorus on the stage led the chorus in the audience, and the singing was like a rushing river, gathering into roaring waves.
"Maybe, one day, the world will really end."
"I also want to bring up the sweetness of memories with you."
"I want to have another drink with you, too."
"One more forever."
"Drink it and you will live long, year after year."
The blue and white school uniform is dazzling enough without any decoration.
This is their shining youth and indelible memory.
Shen Baili looked at the audience with a smile on her face and made a big heart shape in the direction of Shen Wan.
Mom, I love you.
Shen Wan, I love you.
Shen Wan stared at her daughter on the stage, her eyes filled with love and pride that were about to overflow.
Although tiny, Suisui has grown taller than his mother.
At this moment, Shen Wan realized very clearly that her daughter had grown up.
Her wings gradually grew stronger and she flew towards a wider world to explore, feel and experience this world.
Shen Wan was proud of her, from the moment she came into this world at the age of 18 until the end of time.
…
The graduation dance started on time, and the music was provided by a symphony orchestra composed of teachers and students from Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.
The auditorium is large enough to accommodate high school graduates and their parents.
Shen Baili changed her sneakers and put on a pair of silver high heels, which made her three centimeters taller in an instant.
She attended various banquets, wearing three-centimeter shoes as if walking on flat ground, and then squatted obediently in front of Shen Wan to let her mother tidy up her hair.
"If your hair is pulled, make a noise."
"Nothing." Shen Baili said, "My legs are just a little sore."
"Okay, your dance partner tonight has been waiting for a long time." Shen Wan gently held her daughter's shoulders: "Go, have fun."
Shen Baili did not go over immediately, but asked: "What about you?"
Xie Chengyue's big hand was about to fall on her head, but after a moment's hesitation, it landed on Shen Wan's hand: "I'm here."
"I am her partner."
"Have fun." Shen Baili hugged them and said, "Then I'll go play."
After she finished speaking, she ran towards Lu Mingqian and the others, her steps light and graceful.
"What about my dance partner?" Xie Tingsi asked from his soul.
He considered many things before he set out, except for his dance partner.
"Brother, after you finish dancing with aunt, remember to invite me." Xie Tingsi quickly found a solution.
Xie Liuzheng covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Listen, why don't you invite aunt."
Xie Tingsi: "Then you two can take turns being my dance partner."
Xie Liuzheng: "Sure."
Xie Zhiyu did not object.
Xie Tingsi's thoughts became lively: "Does Sui Sui like Meng Jiuan or Lu Mingqian?"
One was unruly and unruly, but in front of Shen Baili, he restrained all his sharpness.
The other smiling tiger, who was white and black, turned his soft and sincere side towards her.
Two different types of handsome men, Xie Tingsi lowered his eyes and thought.
“I like both.”
“I don’t like either of them.”
Xie Liuzheng: "Only children make choices, adults of course want everything."
"You've reached adulthood at the age of 28."
Xie Zhiyu's sharp expression softened: "Yeah."
Xie Tingsi's mind was full of questions: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Didn't you say you don't like anyone?"
“I think they are all good friends.”
Xie Zhiyu nodded slightly: "Well, what I mean is..."
"Sui Sui can like whomever he likes."
"As long as I like it."
…
The curtains of the auditorium were drawn, and the room was dim. Colorful neon lights came on and the music gradually became louder.
"Dear Ms. Siensun, may I ask you for a dance?" Lu Mingqian, dressed in a black tuxedo, stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling.
"Of course." Shen Baili held his hand openly.
Zhu Zhitao grabbed Sang Fang's arm and said, "Let's go together!"
Meng Jiuan was indifferent to others, but very patient with his friends. He stretched out his arms and looked down at Ruan Mian: "Shall we go?"
Ruan Mian looked around but didn't see Quan Yu.
She must have seen it wrong on the stage. How could Quan Yu appear here?
"Okay!" Ruan Mian took Meng Jiuan's arm and said, "Xiao Jiu, I'm happy to dance with you."
Meng Jiuan: "I am extremely honored."
Qiao Yi and Ji Qi looked at each other and said, "Let's go! Dance!"
Su Yan had a dance partner, and her eyes fell on Su Yun, who was alone. The surroundings were bustling and noisy, and Su Yun, who was alone, was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
"I'm sorry, my mother is alone." Su Yan bowed 90 degrees to apologize to her partner: "I want to dance with her."
Originally, Su Bowen was going to come along, but he couldn't come due to some urgent matters at the company, otherwise mom and dad could have danced together.
Su Yan noticed Shen Wan and Xie Chengyue. Their parents were very loving, but they obviously didn't have any intimate behavior. The atmosphere between them automatically isolated others.
So, those who grew up in love are so brave.
Her family is always her strongest support.
The male classmate expressed his understanding. After the graduation party, his parents were urgently called away by the company, leaving only his sister to accompany him.
"My dance partner is over there." He pointed to the little girl not far away who was completely attracted by the lights and atmosphere.
"I'll go first."
"Thank you." Su Yan thanked sincerely and then walked towards Su Yun.
"Beautiful Ms. Su Yun, would you like to dance with me?"
The lights and shadows intertwined, and Su Yan's smile was particularly genuine.
"I would, very much."
Su Yun swore that she would protect her daughter.
She can't stay in the country anymore.
No, the whole family went abroad to live together and started over.
…
Shen Baili danced with many people tonight. Her face was covered with sweat, but she was very happy and did not feel tired.
After Meng Jiuan and Shen Baili finished dancing, the party was coming to an end.
"Sui Sui, I have something to say to you."
Shen Baili looked into his eyes, and something flashed through her mind.
The two of them came to the corner of the stage without knowing when. There was a lot of noise around them and no one noticed this place.
Meng Jiuan's handsome face was tense, and his beautiful eyes were staring at Shen Baili, which inexplicably reminded her of a big German Shepherd dog. His eyes were very bright.
"Okay." Shen Baili listened carefully: "What do you want to say?"
"Sui Sui, I like you."
His voice was trembling. In the dim light, Shen Baili couldn't see his red face, but she could hear it clearly.
He is sincere and nervous.
Shen Baili did not remain silent. She smiled and said, "Thank you for liking me. I'm very happy."
She cherishes every bit of love shown to her.
"I like you, too. It's just a friendship, not a romantic one. I'm sorry."
Her refusal was direct.
Meng Jiuan's eyes and nose also turned red. He knew the result, but he was very sad to hear the rejection from Shen Baili's mouth.
"Sui Sui, do you have someone you like?" He added, "The kind of love between a man and a woman."
Is there?
Shen Baili: “No.”
She believes in love, but never believes that love will happen to her. Compared with the illusory love between men and women, Shen Baili cares more about reality.
She remembered that the high risk had not been resolved.
She and her mother come before love, which is not a necessity in her life.
Meng Jiuan understood Shen Baili's intentions and her aspirations: "Then I'll be the first."
Shen Baili didn't follow his thoughts for a moment: "What do you mean the first one?"
"If you ever want to fall in love, can you consider me first?"
"I'll wait." Meng Jiuan said softly.
Wait and wait until the day you see me.
Shen Baili: "Don't wait for me."
"Don't waste your youth waiting for me. I can't afford it." Shen Baili was frank and sober.
Meng Jiuan looked into her eyes: "Sui Sui, you are too clear-headed."
Sober to the point of cruelty.
"This is you, the unique you." Meng Jiuan saw the guilt in her eyes: "Don't feel sorry for me. There is no need to apologize for rejecting someone you don't like."
"That's good." Meng Jiuan smiled, a smile that was uglier than a real smile.
"I won't wait for you."
"We're still friends, right?"
"We are friends, good friends." Shen Baili handed him a tissue: "Don't cry."
"There's sand in my eyes." Meng Jiuan took the tissue and covered it up.
This is indoors, where does the sand come from?
Meng Jiuan knew that his cover-up was foolish, so he calmed down and said, "Okay, I admit it."
"Sui Sui, I'm a little sad, no need to comfort me."
"I'll adjust my mood."
Faced with Shen Baili's concern, Meng Jiuan couldn't control his emotions.
Shen Baili patted his back: "Thank you."
Meng Jiuan suddenly hugged her and quickly wiped away his tears.
Shen Baili was stunned for a moment, then continued to pat his back gently: "Your muscles are quite hard."
Solid.
Meng Jiuan couldn't help but laugh: "Your muscles are also very strong."
The atmosphere between the two became lively again.
Xie Tingsi glanced around and saw two people hugging in the corner.
He didn't see it clearly at first, and was about to sigh that love in youth was beautiful, then he saw Shen Baili's profile clearly.
Years old!!?
There is no such thing as a young boy in our family!!!???
Xie Tingsi paused and stepped firmly on Xie Zhiyu, who frowned.
Xie Zhiyu followed his line of sight and saw Shen Baili and Meng Jiuan hugging each other.
He grabbed Xie Tingsi who was about to run over and said, "Wait."
"Sui Sui has grown up and has her own ideas."
Shen Baili has her own opinions and has never been a good girl who obeys her family's orders.
"Trust Suishun and give her room to grow." Xie Zhiyu's hands were very strong.
Xie Tingsi retracted his foot and glared at Meng Jiuan who was not far away with gritted teeth: "Damn bad boy!"
…
The hug was very warm. Meng Jiuan knew his limits and let go immediately after wiping his tears.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless just now."
He didn't want to offend Shen Baili. He just had a sudden thought. He just didn't want the girl he liked to see him crying and didn't want her to feel guilty.
"It doesn't matter." Shen Baili shook her head.
The ball was over, and Meng Jiuan's secret love was over too.
Before the show ended, Shen Baili found Su Yan, and the two found a quiet place to talk.
Su Yan's heart was beating fast and she was very nervous.
She was aware of Shen Baili's distance, but she couldn't find the reason, so she could only comfort herself that she was overthinking.
However, when Shen Baili found her to talk alone, Su Yan immediately realized that things were not that simple.
She didn't know what she would say to herself.
Su Yan looked at Shen Baili, who had black hair and a red dress. She was very beautiful and so bright that she couldn't take her eyes off her.
Shen Baili also looked at Su Yan. She was very beautiful today, wearing a dress with a white feather skirt. The feathers fluttered gently when she walked, making her look like an elegant and proud white swan.
If it weren't for Su Bowen, they would have become good friends.
But there are no ifs.
Shen Baili did not avoid looking at him. She said directly, "Let's break up."
Straightforward and without any hesitation.
"You are not wrong. It is Su Bowen who is wrong."
"Su Bowen was once my biological father."
"He betrayed his family and left me and my mother behind."
“That’s grounds for breaking up.”
There was no need for hundreds of guessing games like in idol dramas, Shen Baili cut through the mess with a quick knife.
Su Yan stood there in a daze. When Shen Baili left, she subconsciously grabbed her hand: "Sui Sui, are you mistaken?"
"My father..."
Su Yan's first reaction was disbelief. She was the same age as Shen Baili. His father had an affair when his mother was pregnant?
But why did Shen Baili say that her father abandoned Shunshun and her mother...
Su Yan's mind was confused and she wanted to figure out what had happened.
"Is there any misunderstanding here?" Su Yan asked pleadingly.
Shen Baili pried her hands apart and said firmly, "There is no misunderstanding. You can ask Su Bowen or your mother when you get home."
She turned and left without a second thought.
Shen Baili couldn't forgive her. She knew Su Yan was innocent, but weren't she and her mother innocent?
She and Su Yan are no longer friends.
The little orange cat trotted all the way, barely keeping up with her pace.
"Sui Sui, are you sad?"
"My chest feels tight."
Shen Baili: "A little sad."
She turned the corner and bumped head-on into Zhu Zhitao.
"Years...years."
From Zhu Zhitao's flustered reaction, Shen Baili knew that she had heard their conversation.
Shen Baili didn't stop: "I want to be alone."
She knew Zhu Zhitao would not tell anyone.
Before Zhu Zhitao could come to her senses, Shen Baili just kept walking forward.
She looked at Shen Baili's back, then turned back to look at Su Yan who was standing there in a daze, and was caught in a dilemma.
Shen Baili and Su Yan are both her best friends, but the two of them...
