Chapter 108 Graduation
The school was bustling with activity on graduation day.
Su Nuo performed exceptionally well, achieving even better results than before, securing first place and earning the title of top scorer. Without a doubt, he was the one who would speak as the student representative at the graduation ceremony.
However, compared to the big news of Su Nuo becoming the top scorer, the group didn't find anything strange about it. It was simply because Su Nuo was so consistent in his studies that it would have been strange if he hadn't gotten first place.
But what was even more surprising was that Lu Jin wasn't in a wheelchair; he walked into the classroom with Xia Zhen.
A group of people surrounded Lu Jin, asking him with curiosity and concern if his leg was healed.
This is where the importance of finding a partner with a complementary personality comes into play.
Lu Jin is a man of few words and doesn't like socializing, but Xia Zhen is very talkative.
Xia Zhen explained with a smile, "Actually, Lu Jin went to the hospital for a check-up a long time ago. The doctor said that Lu Jin's leg was not necrotic and that he could stand up again with more treatment. During this time, Lu Jin has been working very hard on rehabilitation training."
Yes, she is the person most qualified to speak on this matter.
The students around him were all incredibly surprised, mainly because Lu Jin was such a good actor. He didn't reveal anything about such an important matter to outsiders, making everyone think that this was all he could do for the rest of his life.
If it were them, if they had been in wheelchairs for so many years and suddenly had the chance to stand up, they would be overjoyed and would want to share the good news with everyone.
Upon hearing that Lu Jin was able to stand up, Gao Ling, who was sitting quietly in her seat, raised her head and glanced at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin also looked at her.
But the next second, when Xia Zhen pulled him aside to talk, a hint of tenderness appeared in Lu Jin's otherwise emotionless eyes.
Only then did he become like any other person his age, full of energy and vitality.
Gao Ling withdrew her gaze and remained silent.
Someone said, "Since Lu Jin's leg has a chance to be cured, did your parents never take you to the hospital for checkups before?"
Otherwise, they should have known long ago that Lu Jin's leg could be cured.
Lu Jin calmly said, "They are not related to me by blood."
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Just one sentence is enough to make people imagine a lot of things, and details that seemed unreasonable before suddenly become reasonable.
No wonder Lu Jin used to be so withdrawn; it's because he didn't trust anyone.
The way everyone looked at Lu Jin changed somewhat.
They were all teenagers about to come of age. Even if they were naive, they could sense that there were some things they shouldn't ask too many questions about, but they didn't know what to say, so the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The class representative for Chinese suddenly squeezed in from the side, and asked with great interest, "Lu Jin, Xia Zhen, are you going to apply to the same university?"
Xia Zhen nodded, "Yes, I plan to study journalism, and Lu Jin plans to study computer science."
The fact that they didn't study the same major surprised many people, mainly because Xia Zhen usually liked to stick with Lu Jin, and they assumed that wherever Lu Jin went, Xia Zhen would go too.
The math class representative kindly reminded us, "If you don't study the same major, you won't be able to be in the same class."
Xia Zhen took the yogurt that Lu Jin had put a straw in for her. She took a sip of the sweet yogurt and said casually, "But we're still in the same school. We can see each other often. Lu Jin has his own hobbies, and I have my own things I like. On this point, we won't compromise for each other."
The math class representative said he couldn't understand it. He still couldn't figure out why Xia Zhen could tolerate not sitting in the same class as Lu Jin.
The class representative for Chinese, however, cupped her face in her hands, her eyes shining, and exclaimed, "What a beautiful relationship! It's a pity my grades aren't good enough to go to the same school as you!"
As she spoke, she clutched her chest in anguish.
The math class representative comforted the girl next to him, "Don't be sad, I'm here for you."
The class representative for Chinese ignored the boy's words and said to Lu Jin, "Maybe Xia Zhen is your lucky star. Once Xia Zhen comes to our school, your leg will get better. Lu Jin, if you treat Xia Zhen badly in the future, I'll take a slow train to your school to settle the score with you!"
Lu Jin: "You won't have that chance."
Teacher Wen stood at the door and called for everyone to gather in the auditorium, and the group slowly dispersed.
Su Nuo didn't leave in a hurry. He walked over and said to Lu Jin, "Thank you for discussing studies with me during this time."
Lu Jin said, "I didn't help you with anything."
“My score this time is better than ever before. I’m not so arrogant as to think that it’s all because of my own hard work.” Su Nuo added, “I heard about your score. You’re only a few points away from surpassing me.”
Lu Jin gave a faint "hmm".
Sunuo said, "We applied to the same university, and I hope we will have the opportunity to make progress together in the future."
After saying that, Su Nuo left.
Xia Zhen asked curiously, "Lu Jin, you didn't get first place, are you disappointed?"
“I have a first place.” He moved closer to her and whispered, “I have one more first place than him.”
A rare hint of pride appeared in the boy's eyes as he looked at her.
The first thing he mentioned was the three first-place certificates that Xia Zhen had obtained for him.
Su Nuo got first place, and he had previously won a first-place certificate in the 3000-meter race. By any measure, he couldn't compare to Lu Jin.
He already has something even better than getting first place.
Xia Zhen's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she deliberately whispered, "I heard that Su Nuo always gets first place in every exam, so he must have gotten more first place titles than you."
Lu Jin held her soft little hand and smiled, "But he can't get what he wants."
Xia Zhen felt that her boyfriend seemed to be gloating a little.
That's natural. It's one thing for Su Nuo to get first place, but he also had to go and bring it up in front of the girl he liked. Even the most aloof young man is still young and doesn't have such a broad mind.
Lu Jin picked up her small bag, took her hand, and stood up. "Let's go to the auditorium."
Xia Zhen obediently followed him. When she saw Gao Ling, she paused and took out a piece of chocolate from the small yellow bag that Lu Jin was holding.
"Squad leader, please have some."
Gao Ling looked at the chocolate being shoved into her hand and asked, "Is this a treat for me?"
Xia Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of us, class monitor. We should definitely get together more often if we have the chance in the future."
She was referring to "the care they gave us," not just "me."
