I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 1173: Dabai and Erxi Extra 24

First, the Political Education Director delivered a speech, followed by the Principal, and then the Outstanding Graduate Representative gave their speech.

The words that seemed nagging before, now I just want to listen to them a bit longer, just for a while.

Ji Yebai, as the top student of the year, naturally went up to give a speech.

He didn’t bring any script, glanced around, like a king surveying his kingdom, imposing and commanding.

"Thank you to the teachers at Muying High School for your guidance. As graduates, everyone should not forget the teachers, don’t forget our classmates, and especially don’t forget the original intention for coming to Muying. The movement of heaven is full of power. Thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring. The earth’s condition is receptive devotion. Thus the superior man who has breadth of character carries the outer world. Graduating and working, everyone should not disgrace our Muying School, nor disgrace our teachers! Can you do it?"

His passionate words ignited everyone’s enthusiasm.

"We can—do—it!" everyone shouted in response.

Ji Yebai confidently smirked: "That concludes my speech."

He stepped off the stage, the Principal took the microphone, smiling, and said: "Every batch of students, when seeing you being naughty and mischievous, all the teachers would think you were truly the worst batch we’ve ever had! But every time at graduation, when seeing your familiar faces, we would all unanimously feel: you are the best batch we’ve ever had! Students, you are the best! The most outstanding! Always remember, you graduated from one of the best high schools in the country, your alma mater will always be your support! Alright, I hereby announce the graduation ceremony concluded! Goodbye, students."

Some girls began to sob quietly, everyone understood that this farewell might mean never meeting again in this lifetime.

Parting seems predestined, no one can avoid it.

Gradually, the sound of crying spread, those who were close hugged each other, those who weren’t crying comforted those who were, and ended up making themselves cry too!

Ning Xixi’s eyes turned red, hugging Cheng Youran and Jian Yixue, the three girls tearfully vowed: "We will be best friends for life!"

After spending three years in Class S, it had long become an inseparable group, everyone hugging, crying, and many started confessing.

"Zhang Bo, you look so damn cool playing basketball!"

"Chubby girl, actually I always brought an eraser, but I just asked to borrow yours on purpose, wanting to talk to you more!"

"Big Lake from Class C, I’ve been puncturing your bicycle tires for three years! Just to have an excuse to take you home after school!"

"Song Xiaoyu, I’ve had a crush on you for three years!"

"Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier! I’ve liked you for three years too, you know!"

"..."

Everyone present wore faces either of laughter or tears, this day was destined to become one of the most important memories in everyone’s youth.

A boy who had a secret crush on Ning Xixi mustered up the courage to ask for a hug, but before he even touched Ning Xixi’s clothing, Ji Yebai scared him away with just a look.

The boy plucked up courage, stammering, said: "Master Ji... I’ve really liked Ning Xixi for a long time, I don’t dare to ask for anything, just want to hug her once..."

"No way." Ji Yebai said with a cold face, seeing that this boy genuinely liked Ning Xixi, reluctantly made a suggestion, "I’ll hug you on her behalf."

He stepped forward and gave the boy a simple hug.

The boy froze on the spot, and it’s said that years later, he tearfully complained at a class reunion that it was that hug from Ji Yebai that turned him, setting him on a path of no return...
