Chapter 109 Their Graduation Photo
Gao Ling accepted the chocolate and replied indifferently, "Let's talk about the future later."
Xia Zhen smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Okay."
She waved again and walked forward with Lu Jinxian.
Lu Jin told her softly, "There's only one chocolate a day, and that's all."
So she gave away the chocolates, so there won't be any chocolates for her today.
Xia Zhen glared at him, "You're so stingy."
A moment later, she happily hugged his hand again, "It's okay, I can get sugar in other ways."
As for how they replenish their sugar levels, only they know.
A girl with a lollipop walked by, watching the couple walking intimately together. She rubbed her arms in disgust, thinking, "Why does everything smell sour and stinky today?"
Along the way, she had seen many men and women confessing their feelings to each other or secretly admiring each other but holding back their feelings. Since it was graduation day, everyone was graduating and no longer bound by the Queen's Group, so those who were in love and who were interested in each other all took action.
Lu Wang spotted Gao Ling not far away and was shocked to see that Gao Ling was holding chocolate. "When did you, with your ice-cold face, start liking such sticky things?"
Gao Ling: "I'm popular, it was a gift from a friend."
Lü Wang: "You think you can have friends?"
Gao Ling took a step forward. "You better pray you don't run into me when you're sick."
Gao Ling plans to study medicine and has already filled out her application. Judging from her grades, she will definitely be admitted.
With one hand in her pocket and a lollipop in the other, Lü Wang followed behind nonchalantly and said slowly, "I'm in great health. I've never been sick since I was a child. I passed the physical exam for police academy with ease."
"Really?" Gao Ling glanced at her. "I studied dentistry."
Lu Wang paused, watching Gao Ling's retreating figure. She unconsciously touched her cheek, a lingering fear welling up inside her.
An image involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
As Lü Wang lay in the hospital bed, covering his swollen face, he said, "Doctor, I just need this tooth pulled."
The female doctor, wearing a mask, looked at her with cold eyes and said, "I understand, I'll remove them all."
Lü Wang snapped out of her reverie, a shiver running through her body.
No way!
There are so many dentists in the country, she's unlikely to run into her by sheer coincidence!
Time seemed to fly by, and the graduation ceremony ended quickly.
As Ms. Wen watched her first group of students leave the school, her eyes became a little red.
Xia Zhen expressed her understanding.
Even though there are disobedient students in the class, you can still develop feelings for a pig after raising it for three years!
The class representative for Chinese rushed up and hugged Ms. Wen, saying, "Ms. Wen, I'll miss you!"
With her taking the lead, the remaining students followed suit and hugged Teacher Wen one after another.
Xia Zhen wanted to join in the fun, but the boy next to her grabbed her hand.
His gaze was deep and unfathomable.
All right.
Xia Zhen remembered that he was still carrying her bag, so she decided to give up the opportunity to hug the beautiful woman.
Unexpectedly, Su Nuo also stood outside and did not approach. He just stood quietly in place, his silent gaze following the woman who was surrounded in the center.
Xia Zhen felt strange; she thought Su Nuo would take this opportunity to hug Teacher Wen.
Lu Jin said softly, "What he wants is the opportunity to embrace her openly and honestly."
In some strange ways, Lu Jin was even able to understand the thoughts hidden deep in Su Nuo's heart.
Xia Zhen said, "Then his chances are slim."
Teacher Wen is getting married during the summer vacation; I heard she's even prepared the wedding invitations.
But that's how youth is; there are moments of fulfillment, but more often there are regrets.
Many people's unrequited love ends without a trace during this period, and only a very small minority can make it to the end.
Therefore, Lu Jin was extremely grateful that the timing of his meeting with Xia Zhen was just right.
Xia Zhen wasn't interested in other people's business. She excitedly grabbed Lu Jin's hand and said, "Lu Jin, let's take a picture together!"
They had taken a class photo before; they haven't taken a graduation photo with just the two of them yet.
Xia Zhen went straight to a man in a black trench coat who looked like he was admiring the scenery and asked, "Uncle, could you take a picture for us?"
The man holding the camera was tall and thin, unkempt, with stubble on his chin, as if he hadn't slept well. Hearing this, he felt embarrassed to refuse the girl's request, "Okay, you two stand still."
Xia Zhen gave her phone to the man.
The next instant, the man received the boy's deep gaze.
This was simply because this stranger seemed to have appeared many times in places where Xia Zhen was.
The man forced a calm and friendly smile.
In his heart, he thought to himself, "How can this little white-haired guy be so perceptive?"
Xia Zhen ran back to Lu Jin's side. Seeing that the sun seemed to be about to come out from under the dark clouds, she took out a folding umbrella from her bag and held it high above Lu Jin's head.
She took his hand and shook it, "Lu Jin, cheer up."
The boy lowered his eyes. "Okay."
Only when he looked at her would his gaze soften, and a hint of a smile appear in his clear, sky-like eyes.
In that instant, it was as if he had stepped out of his own lonely and desolate world and into her lively world full of human warmth.
The man in the black trench coat quickly captured the scene. Looking at the people in the camera, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. The young couple seemed mismatched, one too cold and the other too hot, yet they were so well-suited.
The man stepped forward and handed the phone back to Xia Zhen. "Is this alright?"
The white-haired boy in the photo is tall and elegant, while the black-haired girl leans against him, petite and charming. There is no one in the world more perfectly matched than them.
Xia Zhen's eyes lit up, "The photos are great, thank you, Uncle!"
Lu Jin took the umbrella from the girl's hand, and seeing that she was happy, he politely said, "Thank you."
His refined demeanor reminded one of the seemingly respectable but actually madman from the Lu family.
You're welcome, you're welcome!
The kind-hearted uncle waved his hand. He felt that the boy's eyes were strangely unsettling. If he stayed any longer, he might be mistaken for a creepy uncle trying to abduct his girlfriend.
The middle-aged man quickly turned and left, still puzzled. He had practiced for so many years to minimize his presence and become invisible in the crowd, so how could he have been spotted by that little white-haired guy at a glance?
Xia Zhen sent the photos to Lu Jin, and then posted them on her WeChat Moments with satisfaction, along with the caption: "We graduated!"
Of course, she blocked her classmates who used to spread rumors in Shengyi from this post, as well as her elderly father.
Soon after, Xia Zhen received many likes from her classmates in Class One, and she looked at him longingly.
Lu Jin was very aware of the situation. In front of her, he also posted a message on his WeChat Moments with only two words in the caption: "Us".
He has few contacts, so he doesn't receive many likes.
In a coffee shop not far from the school, two elderly fathers were waiting for their children to come out.
Xia Yu was actually very busy, and the matter of picking up and dropping off Xia Zhen could be left to the driver. However, he had recently been ignited by Lu Qi's strange competitive spirit. Other children had parents to pick them up, so Xia Zhen should too.
Lu Qi is the one who's particularly annoying.
While Lu Qi was scrolling through his WeChat Moments, Xia Yu spotted a photo and said, "Wait a minute."
Lu Qi smiled. "What's wrong?"
Xia Yu snatched Lu Qi's phone away, squinting, "Those two..."
Lu Qi was a little excited, "The two of them?"
Why is it the girl holding the umbrella when taking photos?
Lu Qi paused for a second, then smiled and said, "Yes, why? Is it because Zhenzhen is too concerned about my son?"
"impossible."
How can he be so sure?
Xia Yu took out his phone and scrolled through his WeChat Moments, but didn't see any photos posted by Xia Zhen. He handed the phone back to Lu Qi and said confidently, "Zhenzhen took photos but didn't post them on Moments. It's clear that she was dragged into taking photos with Lu Jin, but she was just too embarrassed to refuse. I know her. If she really likes something, she'll definitely want to show it off to everyone."
Xia Yu took a sip of coffee gracefully, "It's like she mentions me to her friends every now and then."
Lu Qi did not respond.
Xia Yu looked at him, "You have a problem with that?"
“How could that be?” Lu Qi sighed. “Xiao Yu, what you said makes so much sense. Zhenzhen is so outstanding. How could she possibly have anything to do with my son who doesn’t know any manners?”
Xia Yu nodded calmly, "Mm."
He's not someone who hasn't gone through puberty. When he graduated, all the boys in his class wanted to take pictures with pretty girls. For example, Wen Yu was always surrounded by a bunch of boys wanting to take pictures with her.
Wen Yu, that woman, didn't know how to refuse. Instead, she was very generous and took photos with all the boys in the class.
Because Xia Yu never liked joining in the fun and had no interest in women, he was the only one left after all the other boys had finished taking photos.
The others chimed in, "Wen Yu, we can't forget Xia Yu!"
Xia Yu thought to himself, "What's there to leak? I never intended to take a picture with her in the first place."
He just didn't want to spoil the good atmosphere since everyone was in a good mood.
At that moment, young Xia Yu straightened his school uniform and slowly took two steps forward.
Wen Yu suddenly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, my mom's soup is almost ready, I don't have time, I have to rush back to drink the soup. Anyway, Xia Yu, you don't want to take pictures with me, right?"
Xia Yu: "...Yes."
Then Wen Yu left without looking back.
It's just taking a picture. How many people in this world would want to take a picture with him?
Xia Yu didn't care at all.
"Xiaoyu," Lu Qi said kindly, watching Xia Yu keep adding sugar to her coffee, "Don't you think it's too sweet?"
Xia Yu didn't stop putting out the candy. With a serious expression, he said with an air of aloofness, "I don't care at all that she didn't take a picture with me back then."
Lu Qi covered his mouth with one hand to cover up his soft laughter.
This is truly a big, simple-minded guy whose thoughts can be guessed without him even needing to think.
