Just as the graduation ceremony was about to begin, the person in charge of the ceremony, Li Fei, had an angry outburst. Her face turned red as she exclaimed, “Why did someone go to the hospital early this morning, but I’m only being notified now at this point!”
The female assistant opposite her was on the verge of tears, bowing and apologizing, “I’m sorry, I was planning to inform you right away, but my phone ran out of battery and I went to charge it. As time passed, I forgot about it. And today, there were just too many things happening… I’m really sorry.”
“Sorry, sorry, what’s the use of saying sorry? The graduation ceremony starts in twenty minutes, how am I supposed to come up with a seven-minute program to fill the gap in such a short time?”
The female assistant, who was well-liked by students in the school, was pushed to the point of tears by Li Fei’s repeated scolding. She was constantly apologizing, immediately someone couldn’t bear to see it and spoke up.
“Qianqian didn’t do it on purpose. In the end, she was just too focused on the graduation ceremony and forgot about other things. You can say a few words and let it go. Why make such a big deal out of it?”
“A big deal? Do you know how important this graduation ceremony is to me? Do you know…” I’ve sacrificed so much just to put a perfect ending to my male god’s student days, to give closure to my three-year-long crush on the male god. I didn’t even go home during this break, and do even you know how much effort it took for me to secure the position of the person in charge?
However, before she could finish her words, Li Fei’s tone clearly faltered.
Because in an instant, she thought of herself over the past two months.
The self who woke up thinking about how to arrange the details, who ate while thinking about how to enrich the program, who slept while imagining how to leave a deep impression on everyone… For over sixty days, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. Even in her dreams, her mind was constantly filled with images of the graduation ceremony.
She thought everything would be perfect, that all her hard work would be worth it. But before it even started, she encountered the one thing she feared the most, the thing she didn’t want to see. And what was even more important was that her two months of exhaustion and hard work were ruined by a small oversight, and now someone was saying that she was making a big deal out of it.
Yes, a big deal. She just liked making a big deal out of things.
But who made it the graduation ceremony of that person? She just liked that person, liked that person whom she could never catch up to no matter how hard she tried to keep up with his footsteps.
The exhaustion, helplessness, and unspoken grievances of the past two months overwhelmed Li Fei, and tears fell uncontrollably as she crouched down.
Countless people around her were stunned for a moment when they witnessed this sudden display of tears. They all knew Li Fei as the tough and capable girl who never cried, someone who always took the lead and worked the hardest. They even remembered the time when she fell from a shelf while decorating the auditorium, she just dusted herself off and didn’t utter a word of pain. But they didn’t expect her to cry over this matter.
As for the girl who had spoken up just now, she regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.
As one of the performers, she had witnessed Li Fei’s efforts over the past two months. But because Qianqian, who was scolded just now, was a close friend, she felt angry seeing her friend on the verge of tears and impulsively defended her. She didn’t really mean it.
“I’m… I’m sorry, I… I didn’t mean to…” The girl was also flustered and didn’t know what to say to console Li Fei.
Just as everyone was at a loss for words, Li Fei suddenly felt a slender hand reaching out from behind, holding a tissue.
Accompanying the hand was a gentle and soothing voice, “A girl’s tears are precious, don’t let them fall so easily.”
Feeling the touch of the hand gently wiping away the tears on her cheek and hearing the voice from above, Li Fei looked up in disbelief. In front of her was the familiar face that always smiled like a gentle breeze.
Wen Yichuan.

As Li Fei looked at the outstretched, fair hand and the gentle person speaking to her, she thought to herself, This must be a dream, it must be…
But if this was really a dream, then please let it last a little longer, okay?

The graduation ceremony at W University followed the usual pattern. It began with the principal’s motivational speech to the graduating students, addressing topics that were often talked about but still managed to move countless graduates who had spent four years at their alma mater.
Amidst thunderous applause from the audience, the principal concluded his speech, and the somber atmosphere only eased when the performances started.
As a last-minute replacement, Gu Weizhou chose to showcase his piano skills. In fact, he just secretly wanted to show off his sophistication.
Dressed in formal attire, Gu Weizhou unsurprisingly dazzled everyone backstage relying on Wen Yichuan’s superior face.
Walking out of the dressing room, his every move exuded nobility and elegance, as if he had stepped out of a painting of an aristocrat.
Without any surprises, when he took the stage, Gu Weizhou could clearly hear the gasps from the audience below. And in the next second, the entire auditorium erupted with deafening screams and excitement.
“Senior Wen , Senior Wen!!!”
“Ah—! Senior Wen is going to play the piano, ahhhhh—!!!”
“Male God, I can’t bear to let you go!”
…
This sudden outburst elevated the atmosphere in the auditorium to its peak, and as the person involved, Gu Weizhou merely needed to give a faint smile to the audience.
Gu Weizhou thought to himself, This feeling is so damn cool.
With Gu Weizhou’s appearance, the small incident was quickly resolved, and everything returned to normal. Since he was the graduation representative this year, the final speech was delivered by him on behalf of all the graduating students.
Using a simple and unadorned speech, accompanied by a graceful smile, Gu Weizhou delivered his words that touched the hearts of the students who had once experienced youthful years. He painted a perfect ending to their student days.
Watching the applause from the audience, looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar smiling faces, and seeing someone unable to hold back and burst into tears, Gu Weizhou stepped down from the stage.
Shortly after the graduation ceremony ended, Gu Weizhou received a personal summon from the principal.
“After graduating, does Wen Yichuan plan to join the Wen Group to study management?” The kind-faced principal emerged from behind his desk, took a seat on the guest sofa, and asked with a smiling face.
Gu Weizhou returned a polite smile and replied, “Currently, I don’t plan to join the Wen Group.”
“Hmm?” The principal looked puzzled. After all, the other party was the only son of the Wen family, and it was obvious that he would inherit the Wen Group in the future. It seemed natural for him to graduate and enter the Wen Group.
Gu Weizhou understood the principal’s confusion, but he couldn’t tell him that he was a counterfeit. Although Wen’s father and mother currently acknowledged him as their son on the surface, they would never leave him a single cent of their fortune or allow him to taint the family business left for their own son.
So he said, “I still have a long way to go in terms of qualifications. To shoulder such responsibilities, I need to hone my skills for a couple more years. Regardless, it’s always good to experience some hardships.”
Upon hearing this, the principal, who was already very satisfied with him, raised his evaluation of Gu Weizhou even higher. He smiled and said, “Young man, it’s good to have ambition and modesty. Well done. But have you thought about where you want to gain experience?”
“I’m still searching.”
Upon hearing Gu Weizhou’s response, the principal finally revealed his true intentions. He smiled and said, “In that case, do you have any thoughts about contributing to your alma mater?”
Gu Weizhou, Now that you have said it, If I refuse, it will ruin my image.
“Are you referring to…?”
“I mean taking care of the junior students. You are a legendary figure at W University, and if the junior students know that their idol Senior is leading them, I believe the W University gates will be trampled down by them next year.”
[So, he wants to use my reputation to attract new students who are starstruck, right?]
[Seems like that’s the idea.]
[Old fox.]
[Host, what do you plan to do…?]
[Of course, I’ll agree. Besides W University, I can’t go anywhere as a counterfeit.]
Although he had such thoughts in his mind, Gu Weizhou still showed a hint of hesitation on his face. “I’m afraid my qualifications are not enough…”
“They are enough,” the principal said with a beaming smile.
Anyway, I only need your name, just to substitute a few classes. Who would think it’s not enough?
Hesitatingly, Gu Weizhou said, “Well…”
Seeing his expression, the principal gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, then. How about you can choose the specific classes you want to substitute?”
“Well… okay!”
With a forced smile on his face, Gu Weizhou thought to himself, Yan Jingze, just you wait.
Principal: Hehehe, next year’s incoming freshmen will surely surpass those from University A by a large margin. I dare to bet on it. I won’t let myself lose my underwear. After all, I have a winning weapon this year.
In the office, an old man and a young man exchanged pleasantries, each with their own ulterior motives.
…
At night, the bustling city continued its noise, with dazzling neon lights illuminating countless households, creating a magnificent scene.
In a quiet alley, a few faint yellow lights shone through partially opened windows, casting a soft and mottled glow.
Inside this narrow and cramped room, dampness crawled up the walls, shrouding the gloomy atmosphere. Despite the faint yellow light trying to offset it, the coldness emanating from the walls was still palpable.
Yan Jingze sat by the simple bed, his eyes downcast. He held an old and worn-out mobile phone in his hands, his expression grave as if waiting for something.
After nearly two minutes, the phone screen suddenly lit up. He unlocked it and read the message that had just arrived.
“My dad said, do whatever you want, he’s retired anyway. If you want to report me, go ahead. By the way, I forgot to tell you, our whole family immigrated a week ago. If you still want to report, come to S Country. Oh, I forgot, you can’t even afford a plane ticket to come to S Country. How pitiful~”
After reading this message, Yan Jingze’s fingers gripping the phone turned pale, and a chillingly sinister arc formed on his lowered face.
Nearly five minutes passed before he slowly released his grip on the phone, stood up and walked to the only table that was less than two steps away from the bed. He picked up the opened letter that had been placed there.
It was an acceptance letter from W University in W City.
Looking at the acceptance letter and thinking about the family who had fled, Yan Jingze turned around and put it in his backpack.
Since he couldn’t get any money, he would go to W City tomorrow and try to gather the tuition fees within a month.
As the only light in the room extinguished, the whole world seemed to turn pitch black in Yan Jingze’s eyes.
Raising his hand, he could only see the vague outline of his fingers in the darkness, just like the obscured path of his life.
However… he tightened his fist slowly. The terrifying depth in the eyes of the man shrouded in darkness was chilling.
His life would not be darker than it is now, absolutely not!
Thank you for the update
I wonder what act Gu Weizhou will pull this time.
Will yan jingze’s life become darker than it is right now? Stay tuned for next chapter…
