Jiang Fuyue only learned a week later that Lou Mingshen had reported it to the police.
Fu Choujun would be prosecuted for intentional homicide.
At that time, Jiang Fuyue was standing in front of the mirror, tidying the black bachelor’s gown on her body.
Yes, she was going to attend the senior-year graduation ceremony.
After returning from the island, she spent half a month reviewing and finishing all the major courses for junior and senior year.
Finally, she managed to graduate together with everyone in July.
Ten o’clock in the morning, inside the grand auditorium.
Huo Fanjin, as the host, appeared on stage in a lake-blue long evening gown, paired with Li Chen.
The young man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, standing tall and straight.
“Time flies, like a white colt passing a gap. Four years of university have passed in the blink of an eye. The scenes of entering school still seem vivid, yet now we have already welcomed graduation.”
“In these four years, we have witnessed Ming University’s magnificent transformation, from an unregarded ‘pheasant university’ to a top-tier key undergraduate institution; from academic obscurity to abundant achievements; from weak faculty to a wealth of talent; we also built Wujin Building, obtained several national-level research projects, and student organizations have flourished!”
“Not only that, Ming University’s world and domestic rankings have also repeatedly reached new highs!”
“For Ming University to have today, we must first thank everyone present. It is our joint efforts that have made it better and better; secondly, we thank the principal, professors, and teachers; finally, we must thank a special person.”
“Perhaps you have fewer chances to see her on campus than on television, newspapers, and magazines, but she has become a kind of spirit, a kind of motivation that invisibly drives us forward.”
“Next, please welcome the graduate representative, Jiang Fuyue!”
As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Jiang Fuyue, wearing a black bachelor’s gown, slowly walked onto the stage, with Ming University’s emblem printed on her chest.
Her appearance set the entire venue ablaze.
“School leaders, professors, teachers, and students present, good morning…”
The girl stood on stage, calm and composed, speaking in a measured and fluent manner.
At that moment, she seemed to be glowing.
Xie Dingyuan sat in the audience, like everyone around him, completely captivated.
Focus, gaze, infatuation, yearning, admiration… all kinds of emotions intertwined in his eyes, surging and boiling.
This was…
His moonlight!
…
After the graduation ceremony ended, the leaders and professors left one after another.
Students gathered in small groups, beginning to take photos in various corners of the campus.
Huo Fanjin linked arms with Jiang Fuyue. At this moment, she had already changed out of the long gown into a bachelor’s robe and put on her graduation cap.
“Sister Yue! I want to take a photo with you!”
Jiang Fuyue readily agreed.
The two stood side by side, smiling at the camera.
Li Chen hesitated again and again, but finally spoke: “Um… I also want a photo, is that okay?”
He asked cautiously.
“Of course.” Jiang Fuyue smiled and waved.
“And us!” At some unknown moment, Liang Jingzhou, Gu Huaiyu, and Cheng Lian also appeared, their eyes bright, full of anticipation.
Now Liu Sisi and Cen Qiaoqiao couldn’t sit still either.
Why should the boys get to, when they were Sister Yue’s direct roommates!
Soon, the commotion here attracted many people.
Jiang Fuyue instantly became a hot favorite, everyone wanted to come and get a photo.
However, at this moment, Xie Dingyuan squeezed into the crowd and walked straight to the very front.
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
What was he doing joining the fun?
Students in the crowd teased:
“Professor Xie, you also want a photo with Sister Yue?”
“Competing with all of us?”
“Stop fighting, you can take photos anytime. Give the chance to us!”
“Hahahaha…”
A burst of laughter followed.
Xie Dingyuan curved his lips slightly: “Sorry everyone, I’ll borrow your Sister Yue for a moment.”
As he spoke, like performing magic, he pulled out a bouquet of roses from behind and stuffed it into Jiang Fuyue’s hands.
Then a red crystal box appeared in front of her.
The man held it in one hand, the opening of the box facing her.
Jiang Fuyue was stunned, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.
She had no idea what he was about to do.
But around them, a wave of gasps and exclamations erupted:
“Oh my god! It can’t be what I’m thinking, right?!”
“A red crystal box, judging by the size, it must be a ring, no doubt. So Professor Xie is going to…”
“Ahhh! What have I done to deserve witnessing such a historic moment!”
“If netizens saw this, they’d probably faint from excitement.”
“Yuan-Yue forever! This CP will never fall! Someone help me up, I can keep shipping!”
“Help! The way Professor Xie pulled out the crystal box was too handsome and charming!”
“…”
Just as everyone thought there would be a ring inside, a puzzled voice suddenly came from the crowd:
“Wait, isn’t something off? I remember Professor Xie already proposed to Sister Yue before?”
Everyone: “!”
That’s right, December the year before last, at the Nobel Prize ceremony banquet, Professor Xie had already proposed!
It even trended on hot searches at the time, and official media sent their congratulations.
The CP fans were so happy it was like celebrating the New Year, just short of setting off firecrackers.
No one noticed until it was mentioned, then everyone was shocked.
“That’s true!”
“Yeah, he already proposed.”
“I remember now! Back then, some unethical media even exposed the six-pointed star diamond ring Professor Xie used, worth eight figures! I remember it very clearly!”
“Then…”
What was Professor Xie doing now?
