Volume 1 VI The Farce at the Graduation Ceremony
At 9:50, Chi Linxi and I came to the auditorium, which was already crowded. Once we found our class, we sat down in our seats and waited for the ceremony to begin.
After waiting for a while, I saw the female fan and her classmates coming in through the auditorium door, and they were sitting not far from us. That's when I realized that she was in the same design department as me, but I studied advertising and she studied clothing. Looking at her proud appearance, her family background should be quite good. Since she studied fashion design, should she become a fashion designer in the future? Fashion designers with this kind of personality don't know if they will be able to eat in society. Maybe it's possible for someone else's family to allow her to develop like this, who knows.
While I was researching female fans, Lin Hao walked in. Luckily, he didn't sit with us as a student representative.
There was a seat with his name written on it in the first row, which not only gave people a sense of superiority that belonged to him, but also silently reminded me that he and I were not of the same world.
I entered the school with a cut-off grade. Since then, I've been moving around the middle of the class, sometimes even helping my classmates get to the bottom. The sense of presence in the school is even lower and more pitiful. Even the club activities in the freshman year were just to make up credits, so I casually signed up for a flower arrangement club that I didn't have to go to often. In my sophomore year, I never participated in club activities anymore when I didn't need the club credits. And Lin Hao is different, he is ahead of everything, and he is the president of the student union in the school, if he didn't want to, he would almost stay in school as a teacher.
Life has told me again and again with these facts: we are like two parallel lines that will always meet each other. Or one day we accidentally have a small intersection, probably just a joke that life plays with us.
I sat quietly in my seat and listened to the school leaders on the stage speak one after another.
They congratulated us on our graduation and their hopes for the future. Although we have heard these clichΓ©s countless times, I still listen carefully, because this may be the last time I will listen to my teacher in my life.
Finally, after the last leader finished speaking, the teacher awarded us a graduation certificate and dialed the tassels of our bachelor's caps from right to left one by one, which also means that we have said goodbye to our student days from now on, and we will be "adults" in the future.
After the tasseling ceremony, Lin Hao stepped onto the rostrum, and it was his turn to speak as a student representative. I took my hat off and touched the tassels on it, cherishing the last bit of my brief time as a student. I didn't listen too carefully to what he said to us in the audience, it should be no different from every time the students speak, it is nothing more than a thank you to the teacher and encouragement to the students.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the auditorium, and Chi Linxi shook my arm next to me, and I jumped out of my own world. I looked at Lin Xi blankly, wondering what was going on and why everyone was looking at me.
"What are you in a daze, Lin Hao called you?"
Chi Linxi looked at me excitedly.
"Call me?" I glanced at Lin Hao, what did he want to do?
"Si Liluo, can you listen to me carefully?"
Lin Hao looked at me on the stage and said, like a student who didn't listen to the teacher under the lecture.
"You say, I'll listen." I replied.
"Then please stop abusing your bachelor's hat and listen carefully to what I have to say."
I looked at him and put my hat next to him. "Please continue, I'll hear you."
How long is he going to target me? I think it's time to think about when I've offended this plague god.
"Si Liluo, I like you. Please be my girlfriend and please bless us with other classmates. "He looked at me and said every word very clearly.
As his words fell, the auditorium was silent for three seconds before exploding.
"Students, please be quiet, Si Liluo, please answer me." Lin Hao stopped everyone's restlessness and stared at me and continued to ask.
That's what he told me that day? He's sick!
"I, no." I watched him reply with two words faintly. I feel like I have the right to say no.
It was because of these two words that there was even more commotion in the auditorium. The commotion was full of "them" dissatisfaction with me, as if I had done something rebellious to Lin Hao.
"Si Liluo, you hurry up and promise Lin Hao." The female fan who studied fashion design stood up and said to me.
The auditorium fell silent again as she stood up, and everyone turned their heads to me collectively like a flock of red-crowned cranes, waiting for my response.
"Classmate, if I'm not mistaken, a week ago, you brought other classmates to oppose me approaching Lin Hao. And an hour ago, you also sarcastically mocked me, saying that no matter how I dressed, Lin Hao would never take a fancy to me. Why did you change your attitude in just a moment, and no one else was so fast that it was? I looked at her with a hint of impatience in my eyes.
When the female fan heard me say this, she quickly glanced at Lin Hao, turned her face to me and said confidently: "That's just my opinion of you, I have the right not to like you." But since Lin Hao likes you, I will reluctantly accept you. β
"Your position is really firm." I sneered and continued: "Since you have the right to dislike me, then I should also have the right to dislike Lin Hao, right?" Why can't I say no? β
"You just can't refuse Lin Hao." The female fan answered me firmly.
"Yes, you can't!" Many female classmates shouted below.
"Lin Hao likes you, just snicker, and dare to refuse." There was a hint of disdain in the man's voice.
"When you look at her like that, she is actually beautiful in her heart. Lin Hao, alas, if Lin Hao confessed to me, I would have to faint with joy. β
"You girls, what's so good about Lin Hao?" One of the boys interjected unhappily.
"You are not allowed to slander Lin Hao!"
"This girl looks okay, I don't like Lin Hao, follow me. Haha......"
"Hmph, fake Qinggao!"
My classmates said everything, and I just listened quietly to what they were talking about me. I don't care what they say, I just think it's a bit noisy.
"Students, be quiet!"
It is estimated that the principal has never seen such a "unique" graduation ceremony, and finally couldn't sit still and stopped it.
"That female classmate, Lin Hao, as a teacher, I think it's still good. Since he likes you so much, don't be so eager to refuse, you just think about it first. As for the other students, this is someone else's private matter, so don't mix it up. Okay, now that the student representative's speech has ended, the last process of our graduation ceremony has been completed. Finally, I would like to wish all of you a bright future, and this is the end of the graduation ceremony. β
The headmaster didn't want to get involved any longer, so he waved his hand and stood up and walked out, followed by the other teachers. But even so, the classmates still sat there watching Lin Hao and me, waiting for our next step.
These classmates are really eight women, I thought so, and I was about to pull Lin Xi out of the auditorium.
"Si Liluo, don't go, you haven't given Lin Hao an answer yet."
As soon as I was about to leave, I heard that the annoying female fan began to care about the future of me and Lin Hao again.
"Didn't I say 'I don't'? Isn't that the answer? β
I turned my head to look at her, with a hint of displeasure in my tone, this woman, doesn't it mean that I don't have a good temper if I ignore her?
"That's not counted, didn't I say that you should promise Lin Hao? You can't leave without saying yes. The female fan said to me with confidence.
I feel that I am now free of anger towards her, and more curious, curious about who has made her this kind of character, and I feel that everyone in the world has to listen to her. She should have been very smooth since she was a child, so smooth that no one disobeyed her thoughts, so that she would feel that I had to obey her?
I thought it was funny, and just wanted to persuade her to accept such a temperament, a boy stood up and said to her: "Classmate, although I don't know who you are, but please respect others, is it?" No one in this world has to listen to you, hasn't Classmate Si already rejected Lin Hao? Why do you press every step, she doesn't owe you, nor is she a servant of your house. β
"You!"
Obviously, no one usually speaks to her like this, but when I saw a boy speaking for me, the female fan's face turned red, and she couldn't say anything except the word "you".
"Classmate, this is a matter between me and Si Liluo, please don't interfere." Lin Hao said to the boy who helped me speak, without a trace of emotion in his tone.
"I can't interfere, so why can she question Si Liluo here?" The male classmate pointed to the female fan and said to Lin Hao.
"I didn't agree with her meddling in our affairs, it was just wishful thinking on her part." Lin Hao said.
Hearing Lin Hao say this, the expressions of female fans obviously became a little bad. Suddenly, I felt a little sympathy for this girl, she just liked Lin Hao, but in exchange for Lin Hao's disdainful attitude.
"Lin Hao, since this is a matter for the two of us, then please don't involve others, she is just talking for you, and this male classmate will not stand up if he can't stand it. When I say I don't agree, I just don't agree. Lin Dacai, a genius like the pride of the sky, won't even be able to accept refusal, right? So, I'm here to wish you the best of luck, can I go? β
After I finished speaking to Lin Hao, I smiled at the male classmate to show my gratitude and pulled Lin Xi out of the auditorium.
