Chapter 195
“The college entrance exam, for all of us here, is undoubtedly important, but we have to realize that it is just a small threshold in our long life. If we take it too seriously, it will be like a big mountain pressing down on our hearts, and the more you fear it, the more terribly heavy it becomes. But if we value it tactically and defy it strategically, our so-called opponents will become very small.”
“Steadfastly move toward it, cross it, and overcome it.”
“I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a quote that’s popular on the internet? When you’re memorizing vocabulary, the cod in Alaska are leaping out of the water; when you’re doing math, the seagulls in the Pacific Ocean are winging their way above the city; when you’re picking your lamp to read at night, the night in the Polar Circle is scattered with colorful colors. But ah, don’t you worry, as you work hard for your future, the sights you thought you’d never see in your life, the people you thought you’d never meet in your lifetime are coming towards you one step at a time.”
“Every day of picking a lamp and reading at night is worth remembering, every perseverance and grind means growth. We have to believe that all the sweat will not be let down and all the hard work will eventually pay off.”
“Rabindranath Tagore once said, ‘Only through the trials and tribulations of hell can one have the power to create heaven.'”
“Before running towards the dawn, darkness is the way to go, wanting to pick roses, thorns are inevitable, the eagle spreads its wings, and weakness is synonymous with it.”
“Three years of hanging beams and cones, those nights that you have stayed up, the energy that you have accumulated, the knowledge that you have deposited, will be scattered into a sky full of stars, illuminating the road under your feet.”
Said here, Ling Yuan paused, his eyes looked at a youthful face under the stage, his voice with a powerful aura of strategizing, “Students, struggle, win the battle of the college entrance examination.”
“The young man has a chest of ten thousand ravines, the heart is like a proud sun ten thousand feet of light, may you take the desired letter of acceptance, all the way to flourish, go to carve their own mountains and rivers, go to enjoy the motherland’s great rivers and mountains, go to guard the Chinese territory.”
“I realize that the gentleman is not a pool of things, at hand augur clouds and rain.”
“Students, I wish you success in the college entrance exam.”
“And, I’ll be waiting for you at Q University.”
After the words, it was quiet for a long time.
Ji Yu looked up at him in the crowd, at this time, he, a suit stood on the podium, but in the sea of people, his eyes firmly looked toward her here.
Gentle as always.
And full of encouragement.
Only she knows, his last sentence is to her, he said “you”, not “you”.
Ji Yu smiled at him with a raised face and took the lead in applauding, followed by a tidal wave of applause.
Ling Yuan was about to walk off the stage, but the host pulled him back, “Senior Ling Yuan, stay back, this is such a rare opportunity, why don’t the two student representatives take a photo together as a souvenir.”
Ling Yuan stopped walking, he begged for it.
The girl had not yet had time to change into her bar mitzvah clothes, her blue and white school uniform was especially eye-catching in the crowd of brightly colored people.
Watching her step by step with a firm and steady pace, that step is like stepping in his heart, “thud”, “thud”, one after another, this moment, the surrounding hustle and bustle as if pressed the pause button in general, his eyes only his girl.
The boy’s undisguised sizzling gaze, the students on the stage saw it clearly, and suddenly it all came back to them –
Aren’t these two the scandalous male and female protagonists who are still topping the school’s confession wall?
Handsome man and beautiful woman, two college bully, simply do not too match ah.
Now standing on the stage together, they immediately gained a large string of CP knocking students.
“Wow, bullish ah, a pair of school bully couple, is the school going to CALL for their love?”
“Oooooooh, they are so compatible, I love so much.”
“I apply, move the civil affairs bureau to the school, immediately, immediately register them on.”
“Phew, these two, like taking campus wedding photos, overdoing it.”
“Kill the dog ah! Pity me, a single dog, dog food can’t be eaten, can’t be eaten at all.”
“……”
Ji Yu walks over and stands with Ling Yuan, the photographer shouts from the front of the stage, “Hey, you two come closer, it doesn’t look good to be photographed so far away.”
Ji Yu’s figure didn’t move, Ling Yuan took a step closer in her direction, and when the two of them stood in one place, his hand quietly hooked her palm behind her back.
In public, Ji Yu didn’t dare to say anything and only glared at him without moving.
So cute.
Ling Yuan couldn’t help but tickle the corners of his lips and smile.
“Good lah, the two of you look here ah, I’m counting down to one, smile.” The photographer shouted.
“Three, two, one.”
The camera focuses and with a click, the picture is frozen for eternity.
A few days later, this photo was washed out and hung on the campus event wall, and only then did everyone realize what was going on.
Ling Yuan was slightly sideways, eyes downcast, eyes drifting to the side, smiling gently and lovingly.
And the girl next to him, eyes looking at the front of the camera, eyebrows and eyes shallow, full of laughter in the corner of the lips hidden, just like a lotus blooming in early summer, calm with fragrance.
The young man’s love is clear.
After coming down from the stage, Ji Yu did not care to catch up with Ling Yuan, quickly ran back to the dormitory to change clothes for the rite of passage.
Ling Yuan waited for her downstairs, and seeing her sweaty forehead, he took out a tissue and wiped her sweat, “What’s the point of running, it’s not urgent.”
Ji Yu gasps and says, “Senior, why didn’t you tell me when you came back?”
The moment she saw him on stage, she really rejoiced to the point of explosion.
Last year, she went to his bar mitzvah.
This year for her bar mitzvah, he came.
Neither of them had been absent from each other’s important moments.
“Telling you isn’t no surprise?”
Ling Yuan came back this time at the invitation of the school, but even if the school didn’t contact him, he would still take a vacation to come back.
Once upon a time, the days of the past will be over, but in the future, every important moment in the life of Ji Yu, he will not be absent.
“Uh-huh.” Ji Yu said, “Senior, I’m really happy that you can come back.”
“Happy is good.”
He came back just to coax the little girl to be happy.
At the time of the Bar Mitzvah, there was a need to exchange gifts with the parents, and Ji Yu didn’t call out to Bai Yang to prepare for the parent’s position to just be left empty, and when it was time to insert the maturity, she let Yan Qimai’s mom help insert it.
Now that Ling Yuan is here, she doesn’t need to find anyone else.
Only, when Ji Yu went to her seat, she found that Bai Yang knew the news from somewhere and was now sitting in Ji Yu’s parents’ seat.
Seeing Ji Yu and Ling Yuan come together, Bai Yang smiled and greeted her, “Ling Yuan, Little Yu, you’re here.”
This bar mitzvah, she only knew about it when she saw the news in the parents’ group, otherwise, she would have missed out on such a momentous day.
The two of them just went up to the stage to give their speeches, and she saw them, both children were very outstanding.
Just sitting here, hearing that she is the mother of Ji Yu, the surrounding parents have cast envious gazes, until now, she suddenly realized that their own daughter in the end how excellent, but unfortunately she in the end to understand too late.
Ji Yu, however, was less enthusiastic and shouted, “Mom, you’re here.”
Ling Yuan also shouted Auntie and stood to the side.
Bai Yang wanted to say something, but didn’t feel too good about it.
