Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

After walking out of the examination room, Lu Youning stood quietly outside the classroom corridor.

She looked at the people coming and going, and then looked around the familiar classroom building, and a deep sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

The college entrance examination is over.

I am about to leave this place where I have worked hard for three years.

She suddenly felt empty inside, as if nothing was real anymore. She took one last look in the direction of the classroom, then turned and went back downstairs to the dormitory to pack her things.

Lu Youning's things were moved back home one after another, and now the most common things in the dormitory are books.

She went to the school gate to find Lu's mother, and then the two of them went to the dormitory together, packed all their things into the suitcase, and then went home.

When they got home, Dad Lu had already prepared the meal. The parents exchanged glances, as if they were communicating something silently.

Father Lu asked with a questioning look: "How are you feeling, daughter?"

Mother Lu shook her head slightly, meaning that she didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

Father Lu thought to himself, "It's over. Maybe he didn't do well on the test and is in a bad mood. I'd better not ask for now."

Afterwards, Dad Lu composed himself and said with a smile, "Ningning, are you hungry? The dishes are ready, let's eat first."

Lu Youning looked at her parents' cautious expressions and couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Mom and Dad, don't be so cautious. Do you have something to ask me?"

Father Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, after you finish the exam, just have a good rest and don't think about anything."

Mother Lu also said: "Yes, you haven't had a good rest for a long time. After dinner, have a good sleep first."

Lu Youning knew what they were worried about and said, "I think the questions are okay, not very difficult." After that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

Hearing what Lu Youning said, Lu's father and mother were obviously relieved. They smiled at each other, and the worry in their eyes faded a lot.

Mother Lu quickly stood up to get the dishes and chopsticks, muttering, "Oh, I saw you didn't say much on the way home, so I thought you didn't do well on the test. As long as it's not difficult, it's fine. As long as you feel you did well on the test, that's fine. Come and sit down and try your dad's specialty."

Father Lu also greeted Lu Youning with a smile, "Yes, Ningning, today's dishes are all made specially for you, they are all your favorites."

Lu Youning explained, "I just finished my exam and I'm a little tired, so I'm too lazy to talk."

After hearing what their daughter said, Lu's father and mother hurriedly said distressedly: "Then after dinner, go back to your room and have a good rest."

After dinner, Lu's mother didn't let Lu Youning help clean up the dishes and urged her to go back to her room to rest.

Lu Youning returned to her room, lay down on the soft bed, and sighed sincerely, "I'm finally free."

Then, she took out her phone and saw that the class monitor, Hu Yuxuan, had sent a message in the class group saying, "We will have a farewell dinner at the Wright Hotel in the city center at noon tomorrow. All students are required to be present."

We held a graduation dinner while the results were still out and the students hadn't gone on any travel trips yet, so that those who came later wouldn't be able to come.

At 11:30 in the morning, Lu Youning arrived at the hotel.

The hotel lobby is very spacious, with dazzling crystal chandeliers hanging down from the high ceiling, casting soft and bright light, which is reflected on the smooth marble floor, making the entire lobby look particularly gorgeous.

Several pots of carefully trimmed green plants are placed around, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this modern space.

She found a waiter and asked for the box number that the squad leader had mentioned. The waiter then took her there and left.

As soon as Lu Youning pushed open the door of the box, she heard a familiar laugh. Turning around, she saw that it was Lu Yixiao, Liu Yufei and the others, who were sitting at the dining table nearby and chatting.

She looked at the few people again and found that everyone had taken off the loose school uniforms they had worn for three years and put on beautiful skirts. It really fits the saying "Girls change a lot when they grow up". After a little dressing up, they all became very beautiful.

She walked over with a smile and joked, "Oh! You guys are all dressed up so beautifully, I almost couldn't recognize you."

As soon as Lu Yixiao saw Lu Youning, she immediately waved and called out enthusiastically, "Ningning, you're finally here!"

A bright smile broke out on Lu Youning's face, and she walked over quickly. Everyone gave her a warm hug first, and then started chatting away.

Lu Yixiao said dissatisfiedly: "Ningning, why are you so late? I came here after eleven o'clock. Come and sit here." Then she pointed to the seat next to her.

Lu Youning sat down next to Lu Yixiao and said a little embarrassedly, "Didn't the monitor say noon? I thought no one would come so early."

Liu Yufei smiled and replied, "Everyone has nothing to do right now, so let's get together early. After graduation, it will be difficult to get together like this again. We all want to seize more time to chat."

Lu Youning nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we will all go our separate ways from now on, so it won't be easy to meet again."

Lin Muwan said to Lu Youning, "You said we were pretty, but I think you're the prettiest. I've been wearing this school uniform for three years and I'm tired of it. Besides, we're having a dinner party today, so I have to dress up."

Lu Youning wore a small floral dress today with her hair down, which made her look even more quiet and well-behaved.

Lu Youning smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for the compliment."

Lu Yixiao took Lu Youning's hand and started gossiping about the rumors she had heard: "Ningning, several people in our class found their partners yesterday."

When Lu Youning heard this, she immediately became interested and leaned over to ask, "Really? Who are they?"

As he was speaking, Luo Mingdian, teachers from various subjects, and many students walked into the box one after another. For a moment, the box was bustling with laughter and joyful chatter echoing throughout the space.

The students stood up one after another and went forward to greet the teachers warmly.

Luo Mingdian joked, "When I first entered the box, I almost thought I was in the wrong place. Everyone was so handsome and beautiful that I almost couldn't recognize them."

After hearing what Brother Dian said, everyone burst into laughter.

Class monitor Hu Yuxuan saw that all the students had arrived and asked the waiter to bring the food. Alcohol was essential for this occasion, so she asked the waiter to bring some low-proof beer.

After the food was served, the squad leader stood in the middle of the box, clapped his hands, and said loudly:

"Classmates, please be quiet for a moment. Today's graduation dinner is of great significance. It is both a farewell dinner and a thank-you dinner for our teachers.

These three years of high school were neither long nor short. The days when we worked hard together for our dreams, cried and laughed together, were the foundation of our youth.

After today, we will all scatter in different directions, perhaps heading to different mountains and seas to start different and wonderful chapters in life. I wish everyone can go to the university of their choice.

Finally, let us raise a toast to thank all our teachers for their hard work. For three years, they have poured their heart and soul into us, just like gardeners carefully nurturing each seedling, helping us to grow strong and healthy.

Every bit of progress we have made is inseparable from the silent efforts of our teachers.

Here, I wish all teachers all the best and hope that their students will be successful all over the world."

All the students stood up, holding their beers, and said loudly, "I wish the teachers all the best, and may their students be successful all over the world."
