Chapter 574: Wearing Wedding Dresses for Graduation Photos (Grand Finale)
This Spring Festival, for the first time, Qin Tian's home felt a lively atmosphere.
Qin Hongwen and Qin Lu both stayed in Yucheng to spend the New Year with Qin Tian and his mother, and they also went to the countryside together to pay New Year calls to his maternal grandparents.
Compared to last year, when he would run to grab a kitchen knife the moment he saw someone, the grandfather was significantly more restrained this year; he still didn't give Qin Hongwen any pleasant looks, but it was a different story for Qin Lu.
Upon learning that Qin Hongwen intended to marry his daughter, the grandfather remained silent for a long time, then picked up the wine glass on the table, ignored everyone's attempts to dissuade him, downed three glasses of wine in one go, and then suddenly stood up.
"If you ever dare to treat my daughter and grandson poorly again..."
After leaving half a sentence hanging, the grandfather went straight outside to smoke.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, his mother and Qin Hongwen took their ID cards and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain their marriage certificate.
The wedding was not a grand affair; instead, they invited Xia Nuannuan's family, the elderly Mr. Sun and Liu Nainai from next door, as well as the grandfather, uncles, and their families, to have a few tables of good food and wine at the best hotel in Yucheng.
Just like that, after twenty years, the family could be considered reunited.
Regarding this father, it was still difficult for Qin Tian to change how he addressed him in such a short time, but his attitude was no longer as cold as before.
While Qin Hongwen expressed his understanding, he was already very satisfied.
After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Lu and Qin Hongwen had to return to the Imperial Capital.
Both were very busy people, and they could no longer put off their work matters.
Before leaving, Qin Lu suggested that Tang Xiuxia go to the Imperial Capital with them.
Qin Hongwen also had his own place in the Imperial Capital, a small unit, but it was perfectly enough for two people to live in.
After hesitating, Tang Xiuxia still refused.
The Imperial Capital was a city that caused her heartbreak; she no longer wanted to go there.
Moreover, although her son would be going to university in a few days, she still wanted to stay in Yucheng so that when her son returned from time to time, he would still be able to see her.
The Qin Hongwen siblings did not force the issue, promised to return to Yucheng often, and then returned to the Imperial Capital.
On the plane, Qin Hongwen discussed with his sister that after returning to the Imperial Capital, he wanted to see if he could change his position and be transferred to Jiangcheng.
Although Qin Lu was somewhat reluctant, she still expressed her support.
……
……
Spring passed and autumn came; in the blink of an eye, more than two years had passed.
In mid-June of 2014, Qin Tian once again exchanged his remaining ten thousand plus points for Life Countdown.
During this period, the system had given him two consecutive Tasks, and he had also earned quite a few points.
The 4S dealership in cooperation with Wang Hao was a great success, and the business of Tianming Internet Cafe was getting better and better, already occupying the high-end market of the entire province.
Added to that were stock investments, re-entering the Bitcoin market, as well as investments in real estate, white spirits, and so on.
Unknowingly, Qin Tian's Wealth Value had already surpassed Lao Xia, making him one of the low-key, invisible billionaires in the country.
In June 2016, everyone ushered in their graduation season.
The members of the two dormitories had also matured a lot; Chen Zhuang was still kept in line by Shen Siqi, but the two had a very good relationship, and during the Spring Festival of their junior year, Shen Siqi even went to the Northeast to meet Chen Zhuang's parents.
Both sets of parents had already decided to pool some money to help the two children buy a house in Jiangcheng to settle down.
During university, Chen Zhuang had also followed Qin Tian in Stock Trading and earned some money, which was completely enough to buy a car.
Zhuang Zhe and Tian Jing also had a very good relationship and planned to go to Shanghai together after graduation to seek a broader world.
As for Cao Mingliang, he remained a single aristocrat, though after nearly being knifed by the boyfriend of a certain girl once, he reined in his playboy nature slightly.
Cao Zei, who no longer had so many beauties around him, seemed to have some sparks with Senior Wang Zijun, who had already been in the workforce for two years.
After graduating, the senior had also been in a relationship, but it ended without a result.
For the two of them to get together, there was still some distance to cover.
There was also Cheng Meng, who had started dating; the other party was someone she met through a blind date back home, as people in their area generally married early, and she was urged by her family to go on blind dates before she had even graduated.
Originally she was reluctant, but after going and seeing the boy, Cheng Meng was frantically thanking her parents in her heart.
Clearly, the boy was very handsome, and he had already graduated and opened a small company in Jiangcheng that was doing quite well.
As for Lu Lei, she remained outstanding on her own, preparing to continue her postgraduate studies with the goal of those two holy lands in the Imperial Capital that were in the hearts of countless students nationwide.
In terms of romance, there were many boys who had a crush on her, but without exception, they were all tragically rejected; later, gradually, no one dared to try anymore, and they could only treat her as the unattainable "white moonlight" in their lives.
There was also Su Yan, with whom Xia Nuannuan had always had a good relationship, who was in a similar situation to Lu Lei.
Perhaps this is the woman of the new era; the more outstanding they are, the harder it is to get off the market.
On the morning of June 6th, the students of Economics Class 1 gathered in front of the library, preparing to take their graduation photos.
Many of them had already started internships, but without exception, they had all rushed back.
"Strange, where are the two Class Monitors? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"It really is true, it seems they are the only ones who haven't arrived."
"Hehe... they wouldn't still be in their little nest and haven't gotten up, would they?"
"Brother, stop right there, what are you thinking? You're smiling too lewdly!"
"……"
The crowd was joking and discussing.
"Brother Zhuang, where is Brother Tian?"
Zhang Lang asked loudly.
"How would I know? He hasn't been back to the dorm for several days, okay!"
Chen Zhuang replied.
"What's the situation? They told us to gather to take graduation photos, yet they, as Class Monitors, haven't come. What are they doing?"
Cao Mingliang, who was nearby, also had a look of confusion.
"Look over there, they're here, holy crap!"
Zhuang Zhe suddenly pointed in one direction; usually very composed, he couldn't help but blurt out a profanity.
"Holy shit!"
"Damn, am I seeing things?"
Cao Mingliang and Chen Zhuang looked in the direction he was pointing, and one after another, they also blurted out profanities.
Soon, the other students in the class also saw the two people walking over from afar, and all of them were dumbfounded as if they had seen a ghost.
Qin Tian was in a black suit, his figure upright, looking heroic and dashing.
And Xia Nuannuan, who was holding his arm, was in a white wedding dress, her shy expression looking so moving.
"Are you kidding me? It's one thing that they were showing off their love when we first enrolled, but they won't even spare us now that we're graduating?"
A male student who was still single clutched his chest, filled with indignation.
"Oh my god, they are really such a perfect match!"
Cheng Meng sighed with eyes full of envy.
"Yeah, it's like we've witnessed a perfect love story; from another perspective, this university experience can be considered complete."
Beside her, Lu Lei spoke up in agreement with a gentle smile.
"It's truly beautiful, but Nuan Nuan is really something, she didn't even give us a heads-up beforehand!"
Shen Siqi complained with an auntie-like smile on her face.
Soon, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan arrived in front of everyone.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting; we just went to get our marriage certificate, there were a lot of people, so we're a few minutes late."
Qin Tian wore a smile, his words shocking everyone.
"Holy shit, holy shit..."
Exclamations rang out one after another.
A shy smile appeared on Xia Nuannuan's stunningly beautiful face, and the breeze blew the hem of her white wedding dress, making her look like a fairy from a painting.
"Congratulations to you both. Now that everyone is here, shall we start taking photos?"
The photographer said with a chuckle.
"Come on, let's start, let's start!"
"The two Class Monitors stand in the middle, the girls surround them, and we boys stand in the back."
"Right, right, right, let them stand in the center spot!"
"Which class can compare to us? Taking graduation photos in a wedding dress, this is my first time seeing it too."
"As expected of our two Class Monitors, I'm impressed, I'm impressed."
Amidst the laughter and joy, everyone stood in their positions.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan stood in the middle of the front row, affectionately holding hands, with Xia Nuannuan wearing a happy smile as she leaned on Qin Tian's shoulder.
The girls crowded around the two of them, all wearing bright smiles on their faces.
"Good, very good, keep it just like that. Is today's bride beautiful?"
The photographer shouted.
"Beautiful!!!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Is the groom handsome?"
"Handsome!!!"
Accompanied by a few shutter sounds, the lens captured this beautiful moment.
Time flows like water, youth is warm!
