Several more months passed, and Gu Qingqiu successfully passed her graduation defense and is about to graduate from school.
Gu Qingqiu was very happy. She didn't like going to school at all, but she didn't expect to have to go to school after she died. Fortunately, the body in this world of Gu Qingqiu came with the academic buff of a young lady, which made her learning ability improve by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, if she had to study a major that she had never been exposed to in her previous life, she would definitely fail the course to the point of questioning her life.
Yan Shengxiao had already promised Gu Qingqiu that he would attend her graduation ceremony, because Gu Qingqiu was selected as an outstanding graduate representative and needed to give a speech on stage. Of course, important people should be invited to witness such an occasion.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingqiu was extremely busy on graduation day. Not only were there many things to do, but many classmates, department members, and even students from the same school also came to ask Gu Qingqiu for photos or contact information. Gu Qingqiu couldn't bear to refuse their kindness, but she felt like her face was about to freeze from smiling.
Finally, it was time for Gu Qingqiu to speak on stage. Under the gaze and applause of the entire school, she went up to the stage and began her speech, which she had memorized perfectly, in a smooth and natural manner.
As the speech drew to a close, Gu Qingqiu looked at the most dazzling person in the crowd—Yan Shengxiao.
This man's heart and soul are now completely devoted to her.
Gu Qingqiu smiled and said, "Finally, I want to thank one person, my husband."
"Wow!"
"They're serving up dog food!"
The students in the audience immediately began to scream and cheer in response.
Gu Qingqiu continued, "He gave me hope in life and motivation to study. I am grateful to him for being there for me and caring for me whenever I needed him. He is both my family and my lover. In the days to come, we will join hands and move forward together towards a better tomorrow!"
After finishing her speech, Gu Qingqiu was about to leave the stage when she was stopped by the host. Gu Qingqiu thought the host was going to ask her a question, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yan Shengxiao get up and walk towards the stage.
Gu Qingqiu felt her heart pounding. Was Yan Shengxiao preparing to...?
Sure enough, the music in the venue changed immediately as soon as Yan Shengxiao stepped onto the stage.
Yan Shengxiao, holding a bouquet of flowers, walked up to Gu Qingqiu and handed the flowers to her.
Gu Qingqiu accepted the flowers somewhat bewildered, "...Thank you, husband."
Unexpectedly, Yan Shengxiao suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a box from his suit pocket and opened it. "Gu Qingqiu, I owe you a marriage proposal. Now I want to ask you in front of the whole school, will you become my wife?"
Gu Qingqiu shed tears of emotion, and she tremblingly reached out her hand, "I...I do."
Yan Shengxiao slipped the ring onto Gu Qingqiu's finger and then kissed her hand reverently.
The cheers from the audience continued: "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Gu Qingqiu blushed with embarrassment, but to her surprise, Yan Shengxiao actually cooperated by pulling Gu Qingqiu into his arms and kissing her passionately.
"Wow!" The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, many students took out their phones to take pictures, and some were even moved to tears.
What was supposed to be a graduation ceremony foreshadowing farewell turned into a carnival, or rather, more like Gu Qingqiu and Yan Shengxiao's wedding.
They kissed amidst cheers and blessings from the crowd, as if receiving everyone's blessings.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved; after the kiss, Gu Qingqiu's eyes were already brimming with tears.
She roughly understood why Yan Shengxiao chose this occasion to propose to her.
First of all, Yan Shengxiao knew that if a wedding were to be held, the guests would be mostly business partners or relatives with ill intentions. Most of them would probably be there to watch the spectacle, and few would offer sincere blessings. Gu Qingqiu probably wouldn't like such occasions either.
Secondly, many rumors circulated on campus about Gu Qingqiu, many of which fabricated stories about her choosing Yan Shengxiao as a second choice after failing to win Yan Yanan's heart. Yan Shengxiao disliked people talking about Gu Qingqiu like this, and he also disliked people associating Gu Qingqiu's name with other men.
Although Yan Shengxiao didn't ask about Gu Qingqiu's previous love life, it didn't mean he didn't care. He was indeed a little jealous, so he wanted to use this method to openly declare that he was Gu Qingqiu's other half, and that they were in love and had nothing to do with those bizarre rumors about wealthy families.
Finally, Gu Qingqiu had been looking forward to this day for a long time. She started preparing for the graduation ceremony a month in advance, such as the custom-made dress she would wear that day, the speech she would write, and even went to the school to rehearse the process several times, some parts of which were quite similar to the wedding process.
Since Gu Qingqiu was happy, Yan Shengxiao selfishly wanted to add himself to Gu Qingqiu's happy memories.
A crazy day is over.
Photos and videos of Yan Shengxiao proposing to Gu Qingqiu and embracing her spread throughout the entire campus.
Many young men and women watched the photos and videos late at night, shedding tears as they said, "This is so sweet! They're such a perfect match! When will it be my turn for sweet love?"
The false rumors about Gu Qingqiu and Yan Yanan naturally disappeared without a trace.
In fact, Gu Qingqiu hadn't heard Yan Yanan's name in a long time. Yan Shengxiao had protected her very well, so she wouldn't encounter these unpleasant things, nor would she take the initiative to inquire about them.
However, according to the original plot, Yan Yanan should have gone abroad, right?
But where is Bai Yuxia, the female protagonist of the original world, now?
Gu Qingqiu suddenly became curious: if she and Yan Shengxiao were really together, what would happen to the female lead from the original world?
So Gu Qingqiu took the initiative to ask Yan Shengxiao, "Could you help me find out about someone?"
Yan Shengxiao always granted Gu Qingqiu's requests. "Of course, who do you want to find?"
Gu Qingqiu said, "Bai Yuxia was a maid in my family before."
Since Yan Shengxiao woke up, Gu Qingqiu has completely cut off contact with her family, so she couldn't ask Zhang Lili about it.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shengxiao paused in reading the newspaper, "Why are you looking for her?"
This surprised Gu Qingqiu. Yan Shengxiao's reaction clearly showed that he knew Bai Yuxia. Could it be that Yan Shengxiao had secretly investigated Bai Yuxia before?
Is this some kind of law of attraction between the male and female protagonists of this world?
Yan Shengxiao continued, "I heard that she and Yan Yanan had an ambiguous relationship before."
Gu Qingqiu immediately realized that Yan Shengxiao was indeed still somewhat bothered by her and Yan Yanan's relationship, so he must have secretly investigated the situation when Yan Yanan was with her, and incidentally found out about Bai Yuxia as well.
Gu Qingqiu suppressed a laugh and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Yan Shengxiao snorted, "You used to have terrible taste in men."
Gu Qingqiu suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Yan Shengxiao, actually you are my first love."
