Chapter 121 Graduation Ceremony
As graduation approaches, a tense and busy atmosphere permeates the campus.
In Su Qing's dormitory, the lives of the four girls began to become busy and fulfilling. Everyone was preparing for the upcoming graduation thesis and internship. Qu Meijun and Xiang Hui both found good job opportunities, while Xu Tianying decided to return to her hometown to develop, return to a familiar environment, and pursue her dreams.
Tonight, four girls in the dormitory sat together and discussed their future plans. Qu Meijun excitedly shared that she was about to join a well-known company, with a confident smile on her face: "I am so lucky! This company is exactly the job I have always dreamed of. Although it is very busy, I believe I will do well!"
Xiang Hui was not to be outdone and said excitedly, "Me too! I found an internship related to my major. Although I'm just an intern, I will work hard to perform and strive to stay in the company."
Xu Tianying sighed slightly: "You are all doing so well, but I decided to return to my hometown to develop. Although I am reluctant to leave here, I think there are many opportunities in my hometown."
Su Qing listened to their sharing quietly, but secretly thought about her future. She knew that continuing her studies would mean facing greater challenges, but giving up would make her feel regretful.
As the graduation ceremony approached, the class held a party. Everyone was excited and the atmosphere was lively.
At the party, Su Qing mustered up her courage and decided to formally introduce her husband, Lu Xingchen, to everyone. She stood in front of the class with a confident smile on her face: "Hello everyone, I want to share a good news with you. I am married to Lu Xingchen, and he is my most important supporter!"
Classmates expressed their congratulations one after another, and the scene was very lively. Jiang Ming stood aside, but a sense of loss welled up in his heart. He had always been secretly in love with Su Qing, and now he heard the news, and his heart felt a pang of pain. Friends around him gathered around him, blessing him one after another, but he could only force a smile.
After the party, Jiang Ming plucked up his courage, stood up and announced: "I will soon go abroad to study and pursue my dream." As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned to look at him with surprise on their faces.
"Jiang Ming, you are going abroad? That's so enviable!" A classmate broke the silence, and everyone expressed their congratulations, and the atmosphere became warm again.
Jiang Ming was filled with sadness. Although everyone was blessing him, he felt extremely empty deep inside. He knew that he was about to leave this familiar campus and the girl he loved deeply.
Su Qing's mood also became complicated. She looked at Jiang Ming, knowing that he had been paying attention to her, but she didn't know how to face it. After graduation, she and Lu Xingchen would face the future life together, and Jiang Ming's departure seemed to make her feel more regretful.
After the party, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen walked slowly along the path on campus. The night was gentle and starlit. Lu Xingchen whispered, "What do you think of Jiang Ming's decision?"
Su Qing sighed, feeling mixed emotions. "I think Jiang Ming's decision is very brave," Su Qing finally said, "He has always wanted to study abroad, and this is his chance to pursue his dream. I hope he can get what he wants and find the life he wants."
Lu Xingchen nodded, his eyes looking through the stars in the night sky, as if thinking about something. "He has always cared about you. Although there are some complications between you, I believe he will understand that this is a good choice for him."
Su Qing was silent for a while, and her thoughts flashed back to her time with Jiang Ming. Although there was always a subtle distance between them, she also knew that Jiang Ming was a trustworthy friend. "I hope he can find a path that truly suits him, both in his studies and in his life."
"Your friendship has always been deep," Lu Xingchen continued, "I know you care about him, but now you have your own life. In the future, you must be clear about your choices and focus on yourself and our relationship."
Su Qing smiled and held Lu Xingchen's hand: "I know, I will cherish the love between us and seriously consider my future. No matter what, I hope to be with you."
On the day of the graduation ceremony, the campus was filled with laughter and joy, surrounded by the departing classmates. They wore bachelor's gowns, with bright smiles on their faces, enjoying this last moment. Su Qing's heart was filled with emotion, time passed so quickly, it seemed that everything happened in an instant.
At the ceremony, the principal gave a speech, reviewed the past years, and encouraged the students to bravely pursue their dreams. Su Qing listened, her heart was surging, and she thought about her future. She knew that whether she chose to continue her studies or enter the workplace, the most important thing was to have the courage to face challenges and move forward with determination.
After the ceremony, Su Qing hugged her roommates, and Xu Tianying said, "No matter where we are in the future, we will always be good friends!"
Qu Meijun and Xiang Hui echoed, and the friendship of the four girls reached its peak at this moment. Su Qing's heart was full of gratitude, grateful for the good memories this time brought her.
Afterwards, everyone took photos to commemorate the occasion, and Su Qing and Lu Xingchen left their footprints in every corner of the campus. With the click of the shutter, she felt an unprecedented happiness.
However, behind the celebration, Su Qing was still thinking. She decided to give herself some time after graduation to seriously consider the direction of her future. She hoped to find an answer of her own among various options.
A few days later, Su Qing received a message from Jiang Ming that he was about to go abroad and wanted to meet him before leaving. Su Qing hesitated for a while, but finally agreed, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
On the appointed day, Su Qing came to a small lake on campus, and Jiang Ming was already waiting there. The sun shone on the lake, making the water sparkle and look particularly peaceful.
"You're here," Jiang Ming smiled, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, "I want to see you again and talk to you before I leave."
"I also have a lot to say to you," Su Qing responded, thinking to herself, maybe this is an end, or maybe it is a new beginning.
"Have you really decided to go abroad?" Su Qing asked, with some concern in her tone.
"Well, I think this is the path I must take," Jiang Ming said, his voice firm, "I have too many dreams to realize, and I can't miss this opportunity."
Su Qing nodded, her heart full of blessings for him: "I believe you will succeed, Jiang Ming. You have always been an excellent person."
"Thank you, Su Qing," Jiang Ming smiled slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, "You are very important in my life, and I will always remember the time we spent together."
These words made Su Qing's heart tremble slightly, and all the memories of the past came flooding back like a tide. She knew Jiang Ming's feelings, but she didn't know how to respond.
"No matter what the future holds, we will always be friends," Su Qing said softly, silently praying in her heart that he could find his own happiness.
Jiang Ming was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I hope you can pursue your dreams, whether it is to continue your studies or enter the workplace. I believe you will make the best choice."
Su Qing smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart: "Thank you, Jiang Ming. I will think about it carefully."
They sat quietly by the lake for a while, the sun shining on them, as if time had stopped at this moment. Jiang Ming turned his head and looked at the lake, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Remember the days when we discussed homework here together? At that time, I always felt that time passed too slowly, but now I feel that everything is flying by."
The moment of farewell always makes people feel heavy. Jiang Ming stood up and smiled: "It's time for me to go and pursue my dream. I hope we can meet again one day in the future."
"Goodbye, Jiang Ming, I wish you all the best!" Su Qing waved with a smile, but felt a little melancholy in her heart.
