Chapter 562: Graduation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the college entrance examination, Mei Shu finally unloaded a heavy burden from her shoulders and stood relaxedly at the school gate, taking a deep breath.

Lu Si parked the car and came to pick her up. He grabbed her hand in front of her head teacher and asked, “Where is the class reunion tonight?”

Mei Shu gracefully held his hand and replied, “We’re not allowed to take our family members.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Si raised his voice and shouted to the group of students behind her, “I’ll cover all expenses tonight!”

“Wow! Mei Shu, your boyfriend is so generous!”

“That’s great, 1 can save some money for my travel expenses!”

“Mei Shu, thank you!”

The students in the class suddenly became excited.

The teacher shook his head helplessly, walked up to Mei Shu, and said, “If you want to bring someone along, you can. Anyway, you have graduated now, and I can’t control you anymore. You’re a good kid, and 1 hope you’ll continue to do well in the future.”

Mei Shu smiled gratefully and said, “Teacher, I’ll come to see you often in the future. Thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

The teacher smiled warmly and said, “Then I’ll look forward to the day you soar to success.”

Mei Shu promised with a smile and got into the car with Lu Si.

The two of them went directly to the agreed-upon location with the other classmates.

Their classmates were not very wealthy, so the restaurant they booked wasn’t particularly high-end. But since Lu Si was involved, even if the restaurant itself wasn’t high-end enough, it would be upgraded by him.

He directly booked the entire restaurant and didn’t allow anyone to disturb them.

The classmates had never seen such a grand scene before, so they were excitedly walking around the restaurant with their wine glasses.

They were finally adults and could drink in front of their teachers. How could they not have fun?

Wen Miao sat next to Mei Shu, already drunk, and hugged her, starting to talk nonsense, “Shu’er, we’re about to go our separate ways soon. Do you know how much 1 regret? 1 regret not working harder before so that 1 could have scored enough to attend the same university as you! Shu’er, you won’t forget about me when you make new friends in the future, will you?”

Mei Shu helplessly patted her slightly feverish head, “What are you thinking? Of course, 1 won’t forget about you.”

Wen Miao hugged her neck and rubbed against her again.

Lu Si couldn’t bear it anymore, and he separated the two, pulling Mei Shu up and saying, “It’s getting late. I’ll take you back first.”

Mei Shu was worried about Wen Miao being alone, so she helped her up and said, “Let’s send her first.”

Lu Si had no choice. As the two were about to leave, Mei Shu’s phone rang.

She had to put Wen Miao back in her seat, instructing the teacher to take care of her, then walked to a quieter corner to answer the phone.

She was a bit flustered just now, so she didn’t notice who was calling until she heard the voice, realizing it was Lu Yan’s call.

Glancing at Lu Si, who was not far away, she lowered her voice and asked, “All Yan, do you need anything?”

Lu Yan’s voice was full of disappointment, “I’m going abroad.”

Mei Shu was slightly stunned and asked, “When?”

“In a few days, to study there. I’ll go to learn about the school first, and also… to take a break.” Lu Yan explained in a low voice.

Then there was a long silence on the phone.

Mei Shu remembered that in her previous life, Lu Yan had also gone abroad in the end, and after some twists and turns, he finally went to the ending that belonged to him.

She took a deep breath and said, “Take care of yourself. Keep in touch if anything happens.”

Thinking she was going to hang up, Lu Yan hurriedly asked, “Are we still the best of friends in the future?”

“Of course, you’re my childhood friend. We’ll always be best friends,” Mei Shu replied with a wry smile.

“That’s good.” Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but his disappointment couldn’t be concealed in his tone. Perhaps because of the alcohol, he gathered the courage to ask, “If it weren’t for my uncle, would you have liked me?”

Mei Shu’s heart skipped a beat, trying to change the subject in a panic, but she didn’t expect Lu Si to snatch the phone away at this moment.

Only then did she notice that Lu Si had been eavesdropping nearby.

He took the phone, answered on Mei Shu’s behalf with a sour tone, “No.” Then he decisively hung up the phone, handed the phone back to Mei Shu, and stared at her with fluctuating eyes.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, Mei Shu hurriedly held his hand and coaxed, “Don’t look at me like that. Even if you didn’t say it, I would have answered like that.”

“You better be.” Lu Si’s expression improved a bit. He held her hand again and said, “Let’s go. Let’s send your friend home first.”

The atmosphere in the car on the way back was eerily quiet.

Mei Shu took out a can of tea leaves from her bag and placed it in the car drawer, “For your grandfather. I prepared a little more this time.”

Lu Si glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. While driving, he said in a serious tone, “You’d better give it to him personally. Mei Shu, 1 can’t wait any longer. Let’s speed up.”

Mei Shu looked at him in confusion for a moment before understanding his meaning. Her face flushed, “I haven’t graduated from university yet..”
