Extra 5 Graduation Ceremony
Extra 5 Graduation Ceremony
At the end of June, in the hot summer, the undergraduate graduation ceremony of Ningchuan University arrived as scheduled.
The gym was packed, and the air conditioning couldn't even cool down the sweltering heat from the throngs. Not to mention, everyone was wearing school uniforms, the barely breathable fabric wrapped around them like armor.
The big screen on the stage was recounting the memories of this undergraduate class, and even the music couldn't drown out the chatter from the audience.
"It's too hot. Can you take off this school uniform for a while?"
"The school is very thoughtful. They gave each seat a small fan, but why do I feel like it only blows hot air?"
“When will it end…?”
"Why are we graduating soon? I don't want to graduate, wuwu..."
The surroundings were restless. Yan Zhen sat on the chair, lowered his head and sent a message to Yan Zhao.
Yan Zhen: Have we arrived yet?
Yan Zhao: Still on the way.
Yan Zhen: You also said you were on the way thirty minutes ago!
Yan Zhao: Anyway, you haven’t finished yet, there’s still time.
Yan Zhen: Mom and Dad arrived early this morning, why are you so indifferent? This is a very important day for your sister!
To highlight her anger, she sent several angry emojis in a row.
Yan Zhao: The light is green, no more chatting, I promise to show up on time.
She closed WeChat and muttered, "Not reliable."
The long ceremony finally concluded, and students streamed out of the stadium, transforming the entire campus into a photo op. The school gates, the gymnasium, the library... everyone, under the midsummer sun, tried to preserve their last memories of campus.
Yan Hui and Duan Zheng also came to Yan Zhen and took photos with her.
And Yan Zhao, just as he said, appeared in front of her on time.
He adjusted her school cap and said, "Aren't you hot wearing so much?"
"Don't move, your hair will get messed up." She held up her hat. "It's hot, but there's nothing I can do."
A classmate passed by and secretly glanced at Yan Zhao, then asked curiously, "Boyfriend?"
"No, it's my brother."
Yan Zhao asked: "Where is your real boyfriend?"
"Should he be here? I don't know. He doesn't even reply to my messages."
"He ran away," he teased nonchalantly, "because he found the princess too difficult to serve and couldn't stand it anymore."
Yan Zhen suddenly became a little angry, stretched out her hand to pinch him, and said, "You are the one who is difficult to please!"
The brother and sister were fighting and quarreling, and Yan Hui, who couldn't stand it any longer, finally stopped them: "Okay, stop fighting, let's take pictures. Zhenzhen is too hot, hurry up."
After the family photo, Yan Zhen, still holding a grudge, "settled the score" with Yan Zhao, demanding he treat her to ice cream. The two of them pushed and shoved their way into the convenience store. Yan Hui and Duan Zheng stood in the shade, looking through the photos they had just taken.
"My daughter has grown up now," she sighed wistfully. "I still remember her when she was little, and now, in the blink of an eye, she's graduated from college."
Duan Zheng patted her shoulder and said, "You have to grow up eventually. They have their own lives, and we are just witnesses."
Yan Hui shed tears sadly, wiped her eyes, and leaned on Duan Zheng's shoulder.
The brother and sister just came back from buying ice cream and saw this scene.
"Dad, you won't make Mom angry, will you?"
"How dare I mess with your mother?" Duan Zheng smiled and shook his head. "She feels that you two have grown up and don't need a mother anymore, so she feels a little sad."
Yan Zhen retorted: "How could that be! Mom, I will always be with you! Yan Zhao is disobedient and always makes you angry. You don't need him, I am enough for you."
The person named knocked her on the back of the head. Yan Zhen felt pain, and Yan Zhao raised an eyebrow and said, "You little heartless person, whose ice cream did you eat? Are you starting a fratricide now?"
Yan Zhen protected the ice cream from him and hid behind Duan Zheng, saying, "Dad, save me!"
"Stay with me forever?" Yan Hui teased, "So are you going home tonight, or are you going to stay with Chen Huaixu?"
Yan Zhen vowed, "If you want, I'll let him come with me to accompany you tonight."
Yan Hui laughed when she heard that, reached out and touched her nose, saying, "Little clever girl."
After a while, Yan Zhen went to take a photo with her classmates, so Duan Zheng took the mother and son to a tea restaurant to rest.
The classmates took photos in groups of three or four on the lawn. Yan Zhen took some time out, hid under the shade of a tree, and called Chen Huaixu.
"Are you here? Why didn't you reply to my WeChat?"
"I was driving just now, so it was inconvenient. I called you when I got there, but you didn't answer."
Only then did Yan Zhen notice the missed call on her phone.
"Where are you now?"
"Hmm..." Chen Huaixu chuckled, "I seem to be lost."
"Lost?" She was a little surprised. "You've been to our school before? How could you get lost? Otherwise, send me your location and I'll find you."
"I don't know where I was, but I saw a lot of people wearing school uniforms, and I also saw..."
Chen Huaixu paused deliberately and said, "A beautiful woman."
"Beauty?" Yan Zhen frowned and looked unhappy. "Which beauty? If you dare to look at others, we will break up—"
A smiling voice sounded behind him: "Miss Beauty, turn back."
Yan Zhen couldn't tell for a moment whether the voice was from the phone or in reality, and turned around in a daze.
Her boyfriend was standing a few steps away, holding his phone to his ear and looking at her with a smile.
Surprised, Yan Zhen wanted to rush over, but just as she raised her leg, she restrained herself. She walked slowly in front of him with a reserved attitude and asked pretentiously, "Who is it?"
Chen Huaixu also acted with her: "I want to get to know my classmates. Can I add WeChat?"
She tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend."
"Really? Then he's really lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend."
"I'm lucky too." She looked up into his eyes. "He's very nice."
Chen Huaixu's tone rose: "I'm also very good, would you consider me?"
She pretended to think and said, "I need to discuss it with my boyfriend to see if he can accept you."
The two of them went back and forth, telling lies with their eyes open. In the end, Yan Zhen couldn't help laughing and threw herself into Chen Huaixu's arms.
He hugged her and congratulated her, "Happy graduation."
Your splendid life has just begun.
The two of them were bored for a while, and Chen Huaixu looked at the graduates taking photos around him and asked, "When are we going to take a photo together?"
"I'm very popular." She pushed him away and pointed to a place not far away, indicating that she and her classmates hadn't finished taking photos yet. She deliberately said, "If you want to take a photo with me, you have to queue up."
Chen Huaixu kissed her on the lips and asked in a low voice, "Does my boyfriend have the privilege of cutting in line first?"
"No. You can only be the last one."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
The sun is pouring down, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and the sound of cicadas can be heard in the distance.
Yan Zhen hugged his waist, raised her head and said slowly: "But all my time from now on will be yours.
"It's a privilege that only you have."
