Chapter 233: Graduation
Chapter 233
"Chu Yang, Chu Yang, come take a photo with us here. Come on, make room, I want to be next to the top student!"
"Chu Yang, join us!"
"Cheese!"
"Yang Yang, hurry over..."
In the blink of an eye, everyone had graduated.
At this moment, Chu Yang was wearing her graduation gown, holding a bouquet of flowers, standing in the middle to take graduation photos with everyone.
After taking photos with the group, Chu Yang took pictures with her parents, Chu's Dad and Chu's Mom, who had arrived the day before her graduation photoshoot. However, Chu Luo couldn't make it because he was preparing for his college entrance exams.
Chu Luo was unhappy about this.
Chu Yang had told him, "I'll just Photoshop you in later. You can be wherever you want - how about floating in the sky? That'll stand out!"
Chu Luo: ...
Chi Yan also stood beside Chu Yang to take photos with her parents, and afterward, the couple took a picture by themselves.
Chi Yan's graduation photoshoot was scheduled for later, about next week, and Chu Yang planned to accompany him then.
After the graduation photos, Chu's parents stayed in Jing City for two days before heading back home, as they had other matters to attend to.
During the photoshoot, Chu Yang ran into Li Qinglu. At first, Chu Yang almost didn't recognize her. Li Qinglu had always been pretty, with a bright kind of beauty, but now there was something different about her. Her face seemed smaller, and her eyes looked changed - she had clearly had some work done.
Standing next to Li Qinglu was neither the male lead Gu Xiao nor the supporting male character Zhou Zhao, but rather the man Chu Yang and Chi Yan had seen with her at the cocktail party they attended before.
The female lead wasn't with the male lead anymore?
Had Chu Yang's presence in this story world caused such a big butterfly effect that it completely altered the plot?
Li Qinglu also noticed Chu Yang. Over the years, she had watched Chu Yang become increasingly successful, even winning the outstanding graduate award and securing a spot in a graduate program. Moreover, Chu Yang's boyfriend treated her exceptionally well. Everyone knew that Chi Yan was the heir to the Chi family, so if Chu Yang married him, she would become part of high society.
Meanwhile, Li Qinglu had spent these years arguing with Gu Xiao, breaking up, getting back together, and breaking up again, which had negatively affected her academic performance. But why? Why did everything go smoothly for Chu Yang while she kept falling behind? She was supposed to always be one step ahead of Chu Yang. But everything had changed.
If Chu Yang was going to enter high society, then so could she.
Once she married Wang Yin in the future, she would become the lady of the Wang family.
However, what she didn't know was that whether she could marry Wang Yin was still uncertain.
Chu Yang glanced at Li Qinglu and then looked away. Chi Yan noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Chu Yang shook her head. "I'm done. Let's go back."
Lately, Chu Yang felt that Chi Yan was acting strangely. When his friends invited him out at night, he would leave without taking her or even offering to bring her along, simply saying he had something to do.
When he returned, he often smelled of perfume.
Chu Yang didn't think Chi Yan was "cheating" or anything like that, but she felt he was up to something. Since he hadn't mentioned anything, she decided to pretend she didn't notice.
That night, as they lay in bed, Chi Yan held Chu Yang's hand, looking at the ring on her middle finger. "Don't you think this diamond is a bit small?"
Chu Yang didn't think it was small. "It's just right. It doesn't need to be bigger. A big one would be inconvenient." Although she no longer did housework thanks to their housekeeper, she still felt that wearing something too large would be cumbersome.
"A bigger one would be good for wearing at galas. You'll be attending various events with me often in the future."
"That's different for galas. This one is perfect for everyday wear."
"Alright."
The following Friday was Chi Yan's graduation photoshoot at B University. Chu Yang got dressed up and went to meet him after he finished taking photos with his class.
Chu Yang sat on a bench along the tree-lined path at B University. She sent Chi Yan a message and waited for him there. Because of the photoshoot, she had made an extra effort with her appearance and was holding a bouquet of flowers to give to Chi Yan.
Since Chi Yan didn't spend much time at B University, Chu Yang rarely visited the campus. In the past two years, B University had seen new campus celebrities, and Chi Yan, who was seldom there, was no longer a topic of discussion. At most, people would say, "The new campus heartthrob is handsome, but Chi Yan is still the best in my heart. It's a shame Chi Yan doesn't participate in basketball games or come to school much anymore. What a pity!"
For the new students, if no one mentioned Chi Yan, they wouldn't even know who he was.
Chu Yang sat waiting for a while when suddenly a group of people walked by, likely just out of class. Many students emerged, chattering away.
As they rounded the corner and saw the girl sitting on the bench, some of them immediately lowered their voices. At that moment, Chu Yang was unaware of how captivating her appearance was. Behind her stood a peach blossom tree, and as a gentle breeze blew, petals fluttered down, making the beauty beneath the tree appear even more radiant.
A male student approached her. "Excuse me, can I add you on WeChat?"
"No, you can't." It wasn't Chu Yang's voice that answered.
Chu Yang looked up and smiled at the newcomer. "Chi Yan, you're here."
Chi Yan reached out his hand to her. "Mm. Let's go."
Chu Yang took his hand and offered him the bouquet with her other hand. "Here. Happy graduation!"
Chi Yan accepted it. "Thank you, girlfriend."
The others looked at the male student who had approached Chu Yang, inhaling sharply. Who was this guy? Was he from their school? Why didn't they know him? He was wearing a graduation gown - they had heard that the seniors were taking graduation photos today. So was he one of their seniors?
After Chu Yang and Chi Yan left, everyone came to their senses. "Who were those two? How come we didn't know our school had such good-looking students? They make such a great couple!"
Someone passing by chimed in, "Oh, you don't know? The guy is Chi Yan, a senior. He's been our school's campus heartthrob since his freshman year. Now that he's graduating, of course, he's making way for the new students. As for the girl, that's Chi Yan's girlfriend. She's from the neighboring A University and is also an outstanding student. You can look up old posts on the forum to learn more about them."
"Why am I only finding out about such a handsome senior when he's graduating? What a loss!"
"Oh my goodness, where are the seniors taking photos? I want to go join in on the fun."
"Me too, me too!"
"If we're lucky, we might even get a group photo with them."
"Being in the background would be fine too."
"Hahaha!"
The lawn where Chi Yan took Chu Yang for photos - Wei Feng and the others were all there. Wei Feng and Jin Yang had officially become a couple, and they even treated everyone to a meal to celebrate at the time, so Jin Yang was there today as well.
Many people also came to take group photos with Chi Yan. Some even wanted to take photos with both Chi Yan and Chu Yang together.
"I want to take a photo with you two! In the future, if there's a topic on Weibo like 'What was the most unforgettable couple from your school days?', I'll post your photo. Hahaha!"
