Song Qi posted the photos on his account.
She'll post it even if someone else does, so she might as well post it herself.
"It's really unpleasant to be stared at." Qiao Yu lowered his voice and tugged at Song Qi's clothes.
Song Qi looked at Qiao Yu and smiled: "You were quite daring when you were a celebrity."
"That's different, after all, it's not my own face," Qiao Yu muttered softly.
"Then tell them to stop watching?"
"Never mind, never mind." Qiao Yu immediately shook his head.
Song Qi tapped Qiao Yu's forehead.
At nine o'clock, everyone headed towards the auditorium. Song Qi and Qiao Yu were forced to separate, but Song Qi did not forget to observe where Qiao Yu was sitting.
As soon as she left, a lot of people gathered around Qiao Yu.
"What exactly happened to Qiao Yu?"
"What's your relationship with the marshal?"
"It's the relationship you see." Qiao Yu feigned composure.
"Wow, dating Song Qi! That's amazing."
Wishing you a long and happy marriage!
"Even Marshal Song has found a partner."
When did this happen?
Qiao Yu was about to say "a long time ago," but considering his current age, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he swallowed his words: "Hehe, I won't tell you."
Song Qi sat in the middle of the first row. Many people passing by would glance at her. Compared to Qiao Yu's shyness, she remained calm throughout and occasionally even smiled at people.
Many people felt that Song Qi was much more docile today.
Song Qi spoke after the principal, and when she went on stage, the applause in the auditorium was noticeably more enthusiastic.
"Stop clapping, even your principal is jealous."
Everyone laughed, probably because they didn't expect Song Qi to make a joke as soon as he came on stage.
"I still didn't prepare a speech today, and I feel it's not very interesting. I hate memorizing speeches, even though I have a photographic memory. So today's speech may be a bit chaotic, so please just listen for fun."
"I wasn't originally planning to agree to the Alliance University's offer, but I thought about it and decided to go ahead with it. On the surface, I wanted to say something to you guys, but secretly, I wanted to be a part of someone's graduation ceremony." Song Qi glanced at Qiao Yu, who was looking down.
"Wow!" the audience exclaimed.
Song Qi smiled more: "After graduation, everyone will enter society. I hope that you will not become a boring person under the crushing influence of society. Keep your interests. The average lifespan of humans is now two hundred years. Technology is developing rapidly. Who knows how many years we will live in the future? If you spend hundreds of years in boredom and suffering with nothing to remember, wouldn't you say that's miserable?"
"I'm not going to talk about anything substantial today. This isn't a special session for military academies. Can the students over there who are writing with their heads down look up at me?"
"Yes, it's you, Qiao Yu, and the sixth student in the seventh row, and the thirteenth student in the eighth row."
Qiao Yu silently covered his face, his entire face turning red.
"Many people have asked me why I was able to become a marshal before the age of thirty, becoming the youngest marshal in the history of the league and the first female marshal."
"First, because I was born with a better physique than the average person, and my mental strength was excellent and strong. At the age of fifteen, I joined the army because I was too poor to survive. These are the innate factors that contributed to my success."
"Secondly, when I was fifteen, I set a goal for myself to become a marshal, so that those who looked down on me would have to look up to me from then on. It was a very immature idea, but I persisted in it for more than ten years. I was willing to risk my life for this goal. Before I turned eighteen, I lived on this obsession. Later, after seeing more wars, I set a new goal: to end the war. I killed many people, but I hate death."
“When my first comrade left me, I cried all night, but that was the last time I cried. If I wanted fewer people to die, I had to make myself stronger. Later, I became what others called the female demon.”
"The most important thing for success is nothing more than perseverance and hard work. You've all heard this since you were little, so I don't have much to say about it, and I'm nothing special."
"I have completed the first stage of my life and am about to enter the second stage. She has made me a better, more complete, and more emotionally richer person. I hope that everyone will meet that person who makes you a better person in the future."
"I had already communicated with the principal of the alliance beforehand. Today, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain my relationship with Qiao Yu to the public. Although I don't like explaining things, I dislike it even more when people question our relationship."
"My acquaintance with her stemmed from a wonderful experience. I know there are many others who have had similar experiences. The rest are confidential and I can't continue to talk about them. I also hope that people will stop asking us how we met or when we met. Just wish us well."
"I think a simple blessing is fine with me."
"Wishing everyone all their wishes come true."
Song Qi's speech was very brief, lasting only a minute or two. As soon as she finished speaking, the video was posted online, and the number of discussions reached hundreds of billions in minutes.
Regarding the strange experience Song Qi mentioned, some people understood it, while others speculated on countless possibilities on the forum.
However, few people believe that Song Qi is talking nonsense.
Many people are sending their blessings to Song Qi and Qiao Yu, and the post has already climbed to the top of the trending searches.
A photo of Song Qi holding Qiao Yu's hand as they walked out of the school has been circulating online.
"Many people say they envy me." Qiao Yu leaned against Song Qi, looking at the personal terminal with a smile on his face.
"Is anyone insulting you?"
"have."
"Then don't watch it."
"Don't worry, I have a strong mental capacity. I won't get angry at those people. To be honest, I'm quite proud of myself."
"The best person in the entire universe is mine."
Song Qi kissed Qiao Yu's cheek.
After returning, Qiao Yu went straight to the research institute and stared wide-eyed at what he saw inside: "My God, how much money did you spend on this?"
These are all things she wants but can't afford, or things she can afford but can't let go of.
This is simply heaven.
Qiao Yu took a few photos and posted them on his VJ status, wanting to show off.
[Qiao Yu V: A mecha researcher's paradise, ahhhhh!]
It was quickly forwarded and commented on by experts in mecha research. These experts, who usually don't talk much, were all very excited at this moment.
Although their research institute has a lot of things, it is not complete at all.
The mecha are all big machines, the most expensive costing hundreds of millions. It would take at least several years to develop them. Of course, you would need to spend decades in a research institute and produce something, otherwise you wouldn't even have the chance to ask your superiors for help.
[Entertainer A: Where is this?]
[Qiao Yu V: My Song Song prepared a private research institute for me.]
Qiao Yu instantly attracted countless enemies.
After that, she posted a job advertisement, and there were too many people who wanted to apply.
Originally, Song Qi thought that coming back would bring all sorts of good things, but she watched Qiao Yu working excitedly.
My head hurts.
On the day Song Qi proposed to Qiao Yu, she booked the entire alliance's virtual screen, making it extremely high-profile.
Qiao Yu scolded Song Qi, but then laughed after he finished.
"Why be so high-profile?"
"I told you before, when I'm with you, I want to announce it to the world." Song Qi held up a box containing eight rings, looking at her. "So, will you marry me?"
Qiao Yu looked at the rings in the box with some surprise. Seven familiar rings were arranged in a circle, with only one unfamiliar ring in the middle. She touched each one one by one.
The hardest thing for her after returning was not being able to bring the ring back, but now Song Qi has made her a new one.
“Of course I’m willing.” Qiao Yu pointed to the ring in the middle. “Put it on for me.”
"Okay." Song Qi helped Qiao Yu put on the ring, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her firmly.
After the second phase of their research was completed, Qiao's parents made a special trip back, saying it was to attend their engagement banquet, but Song Qi always felt that the two of them had only returned for the research institute.
The two spent so much time at the research institute that they almost missed their engagement party.
"How about I donate some to your research institute as well?" Song Qi asked, looking at the expressions on their faces.
"No," Professor Qiao refused outright. "How could you be so wasteful!"
It was obvious that they had seen Song Qi's marriage proposal.
Song Qi smiled.
After attending the engagement banquet, Qiao's parents rushed back home. Judging from his father-in-law's expression and actions, Song Qi thought he was going to ask his boss for some equipment.
She also heard Professor Joe's prepared lines: "Even a private research institute has these, how can we not?"
Very good, and hardcore.
Later, Song Qi received many phone calls telling her not to advertise any new or good machines she bought.
The leader in charge of allocating funds is clearly having a headache.
Song Qi and Qiao Yu's wedding took place in an ordinary little town on an ordinary planet.
This is the city where Song Qi was born.
The small town was bustling like never before.
The location was chosen by Qiao Yu.
"I don't know what bad things happened to you before you were fifteen. I won't ask you. I don't want you to have any unpleasant things in your life."
"So, by holding the wedding here, we can stamp the unpleasant with the beautiful, and then everything will be beautiful."
"Mmm." Song Qi held Qiao Yu's hand, looked at the light in her eyes, and kissed her lips. "Then you might have to accompany me to more places and build more houses in the future. I have quite a few unpleasant experiences."
I lost my family in this city, but now I have them again. It's so good.
"Okay." Qiao Yu stood on tiptoe, wrapped his arms around Song Qi's neck, and kissed him.
The guests below laughed.
"Professor Qiao, your daughter is amazing."
Professor Qiao glanced at the speaker, who had been drinking and was speaking more freely than before: "Nonsense, how could you subdue Marshal Song if you weren't fierce?"
The others laughed again.
Not far from the wedding venue, a middle-aged couple and a teenage boy were constantly looking around.
"Xiaoyong, that Marshal Song is your sister. Let's go find her and ask her to take you to the Imperial Star."
"You threw her out and expected her to acknowledge you? What were you thinking? Go back." Xiao Yong frowned, feeling utterly ashamed.
"How can we go back! We gave birth to her!" the middle-aged man shouted.
"The three of you." A man walked towards the three people. "Marshal Song is an orphan. Before today, she had no family."
Who are you?!
The man smiled, a friendly smile, and revealed the gun at his waist: "If you disturb Marshal Song's life..."
He didn't say what he was going to say next, but the three of them understood.
"There will be people watching you here, so keep your mouths shut. Please leave now."
Inside the auditorium.
Song Qi and Qiao Yu were talking with the guests.
Qiao Yu stood beside Song Qi, her lips curving upwards, her eyelashes arched, and her ears flushed red. She looked exceptionally well-behaved. This was the first and last time she had done something wrong.
Song Qi's bracelet-shaped personal terminal vibrated twice. She glanced at the message Ye Sui had sent on her wrist, looked at Qiao Yu beside her with some surprise, and finally smiled. She then replied to Ye Sui with three words: "Let her come."
"Yuyu".
"Hmm?" Qiao Yu took a sip of wine, looked at Song Qi, who seemed a little drunk, with bright eyes and a glistening mouth. "What's wrong?"
"You really are my light."
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment.
The people around Song Qi started to jeer when they heard what he said.
Qiao Yu's face turned red again.
"Why are you saying all this?" Qiao Yu pinched Song Qi's waist.
"Oh, just showing off to the single guys at this table."
"Wow! Marshal Song, you've really gone too far!"
Qiao Yu looked at Song Qi's profile and leaned against her.
The guests left at 10 o'clock, even though they could have stayed until midnight.
However, they discovered that Song Qi had run away with Qiao Yu.
They got away!
Why did you bring me out here?
"Didn't you say you wanted to stamp my imperfections? So I'll take you on a walk through the streets and alleys, and from now on, every street and alley will be beautiful."
Qiao Yu blushed. She hadn't realized it when she said it herself, but now that Song Qi had said it, it sounded incredibly embarrassing.
She was still wearing her wedding dress.
Song Qi took her back to the hotel to change into clothes that were easier to move in, and then they went out together.
“I used to live here. When I was five years old, I got sick, and those two people abandoned me in the slums to save money.”
Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Qiao Yu subconsciously tightened his grip on Song Qi's hand: "Five years old?"
“Hmm.” Song Qi nodded. “There’s no one managing this slum area. It’s very chaotic. Some people can’t afford food, so they eat the flesh of the dead. I was almost eaten.”
Song Qi smiled as she looked at Qiao Yu's reddened eyes.
The two walked into the slum. Many people were lying on the ground. They sat up when they saw the two and looked at them. There were no streetlights around, only the light from the personal computer in Song Qi's hand. Most of the people were so thin that they looked like skin and bones, and their eyes looked somewhat frightening in the dim light.
“There’s nothing to cry about. If I hadn’t lived here for a while, I wouldn’t be in such good health. Would I be able to recite ‘Born in Sorrow, Die in Comfort’? I’ve been given a great responsibility.”
Although more than a decade has passed, nothing has changed here.
As they walked, Song Qi pointed out various corners to Qiao Yu.
“I used to hide here when people were chasing and beating me.”
"Here, I defeated a boy who is four years older than me."
"This is where I have fun."
“This is where I live.” Song Qi stopped in front of a dilapidated house. It had been occupied by someone else and was even more run-down. “A kind person took me in. Although she was quite fierce, I am very grateful to her. The day I left this place was the day she passed away. My original name was not Song Qi, but Li Panzi. Song Qi is a name I chose myself. It means to send off the past and look forward to the future. Qi is also the surname of that kind person.”
Qiao Yu had already ruined her makeup with tears.
Song Qi wiped away Qiao Yu's tears and hugged her: "Don't cry. We agreed to create beautiful memories. All you'll remember about is your tear-stained face."
Qiao Yu patted Song Qi's back twice, but didn't say anything.
"I am happy now, and that's enough."
"Don't cry, it hurts my heart."
Qiao Yu immediately held back his tears, his expression contorted as he tried to hold them back. Song Qi couldn't help but laugh.
The two left the slum and strolled slowly through the small town.
It was past ten o'clock, and there were still many people on the street.
The environment here is very different from that in the slums.
"Why don't they come out and look for jobs?" Qiao Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
“They’ve exiled themselves. Nobody’s keeping them in check. After I got rich, I had people come and manage this place, but it didn’t work. They think the slums are huge and they can’t get out. In reality, it’s just two streets.” Song Qi’s expression was somewhat cold, and he twitched the corner of his mouth. “It’s their own choice, and no one else can change it.”
Qiao Yu nodded, roughly understanding what he meant.
Just before midnight, Song Qi led Qiao Yu to the beach. The beach was deserted, and the sea breeze was chilly.
Song Qi took off his military jacket and draped it over Qiao Yu's shoulders.
“I come here when I’m sad,” Song Qi said, leaning against the railing. “This is the first time I’ve come here when I’m happy.”
Qiao Yu leaned against Song Qi: "From now on, you will be able to go to all places happily."
"Then I'll take your good wishes."
Song Qi glanced at the time on his wrist, and when it was twelve o'clock, he kissed Qiao Yu: "Wife, have a happy second day."
"You're happy too, baby." Qiao Yu said, mimicking Song Qi's old tone, and even stood on tiptoe to kiss her cheek.
Song Qi looked deeply at Qiao Yu, put his arm around her waist, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
There were no stars in the sky, only the planet's satellite casting a soft glow upon the two of them.
The wind suddenly subsided, gently lifting their hair, which gradually became tangled together as it blew.
Song Qi released Qiao Yu and tried to move her head away, but her scalp hurt. She tried to peek, touched it, and her eyes lit up: "Wife, you see, naturally everyone thinks we're a couple."
"Yes, they're a match made in heaven."
