Chapter 488

At ten in the morning, Mu Youyu, who had slept until she woke naturally, finally sat up slowly.

During this summer vacation, her schedule never managed to adjust to what a normal person should have.

She had said she would go to bed early and rise early, but the result was that she only set an alarm if she had something the next day; every night she lay down without closing her eyes, scrolling her phone back and forth until the battery ran out before she would stop.

Last night was no exception; right now her head still feels groggy.

After tidying up simply, she slipped downstairs in her slippers with a pat-pat-pat sound, and as soon as she reached the living room she bumped into Jiang Liangjin sitting quietly on the sofa.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting there, just tapping away at his phone.

Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Liangjin almost immediately lifted his eyes, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You're up that early?"

Since it was still morning before twelve o'clock, Mu Youyu obediently walked over and sat beside him, her little head nodding, "Good morning, A Jin."

Jiang Liangjin gave a low laugh, picked up the document bag beside the sofa, and handed it over, saying, "Teacher Lin just came by; seeing you weren't downstairs, he asked me to bring this to you."

"Teacher Lin came?" Mu Youyu took it and opened it; inside was a photocopy of the appointment letter from C University, appointing Lin Tingsong as a specially appointed professor of the C University School of Art, with a term of four years.

Four years?

She lifted her hand and brushed over the characters, asking, "Where is Teacher Lin?"

"He said he was going to meet an old friend and would contact you later." Jiang Liangjin added, "By the way, he also said not to put pressure on you; he just thinks the treatment C University offers is good, it's close to home, and it has nothing to do with you."

Mu Youyu:?

No one has yet been able to pressure her.

Four years, if nothing unexpected happens, will just be the number of years she is supposed to stay at C University; Lin Tingsong taking up the position at this time, to say it has nothing to do with her, she doesn't believe.

She tugged at her lips, "Do you believe that, A Jin?"

Jiang Liangjin's eyes glimmered lightly, naturally in agreement with her thought, "No."

If Youbao were to change her mind midway and not go to C University, Lin Tingsong would probably be more anxious than anyone.

Mu Youyu was satisfied.

Jiang Liangjin asked gently, "The senior high school gathering is around noon today; do you want to go, Youbao?"

Mu Youyu asked, "Is the location at the school?"

Jiang Liangjin picked up his phone and glanced at the message: "A manor in the suburbs; Teacher Zhou posted the location in the group, a drive of over forty minutes."

He usually blocks all group messages, keeping only notifications related to family and her; it was only through Yu Ci's barrage of messages that he found out.

Mu Youyu had an answer: "Let's go; are Second Brother and the others going too?"

Jiang Liangjin replied, "I didn't ask; they probably are just looking at you."

"Take out the 'probably'."

The two looked over and saw Mu Xi descending the stairs slowly; hearing the voice, she lightly took over the conversation.

"Good morning, Second Brother!" Mu Youyu immediately broke into a sweet smile.

"Second Brother."

Mu Xi walked over, casually ruffling her sister's hair, and said, "Do you want to go? Xiao Jing probably can't; he and his friends have gone to another city."

Mu Youyu nodded, "I'm going."

Mu Xi picked up the car keys on the table, turned them in her hand, and said, "Shall we leave now? I've brought snacks in my car."

Mu Youyu sprang up and pulled Jiang Liangjin up as well, "Let's go, let's go!"

The senior high school graduation party of Nanfeng High School kicked off at a manor in the suburbs.

With half an hour left until noon, most of the students in Class 1 had already arrived.

Teacher Zhou stood at the manor gate, looking much more relaxed than at school, gazing at his students and murmuring with relief, "Finally got you little devils…… slip of the tongue, good kids all together!"

At last we've waited for Mu Xi to graduate!!

Mu Youyu wore a light-colored uniform, with Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xi at her sides; as soon as they entered the door, Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan swarmed over and surrounded them.

"Youbao, A Jin! Over here, over here!"

Teacher Zhou was chatting with a few students who had arrived early; upon seeing Mu Youyu's group approach, he immediately dropped those people and went to meet them, saying, "Everyone's here? Hurry in, hurry in, everyone's inside."

It's rare that they weren't late.

Mu Youyu laughed and called out, "Teacher Zhou," and Teacher Zhou responded, "All right, all right, hurry in."

Mu Xi walked past him without missing a step, while Jiang Liangjin gave a slight nod, counting it as a greeting.

Teacher Zhou's curved mouth unconsciously lowered, and he feigned composure as he walked inside.

He really didn't expect Mu Xi to greet him at all…… and the others felt the same, right!

Mu Youyu's group and the two Yu Ci entered the area reserved for Class 1, where they unexpectedly discovered the principal also chatting with the Class 1 students, wearing a polite smile.

As soon as they sat down, Yu Ci leaned over with a grin and said, "By the way, have you heard? Teacher Lin is going to C University to be a professor."

For a moment no one responded, and Gu Xingnan chimed in, "There's also this?"

Mu Youyu also looked at him, "Your news is truly well-informed, A Ci."

"My dad said it; he had dinner with the C University chancellor a couple of days ago and overheard them mention it."

Yu Ci arched an eyebrow in reply, "I heard that C University, in order to hire Teacher Lin, opened up a bunch of conditions—labs, studios, enrollment quotas can be set as they please, and they can even bring family members……"

"All that's left is to rename the art major as the Lin Tingsong major!"

Mu Youyu's lips curled slightly, her smile full, "That wouldn't go that far."

"How wouldn't it?" Yu Ci's eyes flickered, speaking with conviction, "Ask anyone here studying art—who doesn't know Teacher Lin? Once he goes, the admission score line for C University's art department will surely skyrocket next year."

Someone at the nearby table heard it and immediately chimed in, "What? Teacher Lin Tingsong is going to C University? Then I'll apply to C University this year."

His friend splashed cold water on him, "You don't even study art."

"I can switch majors! I'll record his lectures on video and keep them for later viewing!"

"You're not going to buy courses online, are you?"

"Don't blurt out my inner thoughts!"

Friend: "It's kinda intense, I already said it out, his student is sitting not far away."

What, what, I didn't say anything, hahaha, let's eat, let's eat.

Mu Youyu: "......"

Jiang Liangjin didn't bother with outsiders, just focused on serving her food.

Zhou Laoshi clapped his hands, the Class 1 area gradually quieted down, "Everyone, today is our Class 1's first gathering after graduation. I won't say those formalities!"

He paused, his gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes brimming with pride, "You are all my most proud students, no matter where you go in the future, no matter what happens, remember, you walked out of Nan Feng, and Nan Feng takes pride in you."

Applause scattered and sparse, someone laughed out loud, not knowing what they were laughing at, like the feeling of unexpectedly making eye contact with a friend during class and being inexplicably amused.

The principal was very gratified, indeed, this is the classmate of the top scholar!

Zhou Laoshi raised his drink and said loudly: "Wishing all Class 1 students a bright future like brocade, may we meet at the peak!"

Outdoor sunlight showered down, the Class 1 people rose and raised their glasses, the glass cups chimed crisply, converging into the most enthusiastic: "Happy graduation!"

High school time thus passed, their blazing future, now advancing toward the light, shining brilliantly, setting off splendidly.
