Graduated.
The word that once seemed so far away, suddenly feels so close.
But even after the graduation ceremony ended, Ou Jue hasn't shown up.
Chuxia.
On campus, the graduates gather in threes and twos, chatting and laughing.
Under a certain tree shade, An Ran, Chi Cheng, Ruge, and Ji Yanche are sitting there.
An Ran leans against Chi Cheng, waving her hand vigorously, "Xiyan, over here."
Xiyan runs over and glances around, "Does everyone have to be so punctual?"
Ruge: "Where's your guy?"
Xiyan replies with a hint of melancholy, "Don't know, maybe he dropped off halfway here."
Someone gently taps her forehead, and a familiar presence envelops her, "What would you do if I dropped off? Silly."
"Ou Jue!" Xiyan glares at him while covering her head, "You're the one who's late, and yet you call me silly!"
Ji Yanche pulls a wasabi sushi from nowhere, "The latecomer should be punished by eating this in one go!"
Ou Jue lifts his gaze to him, "Say that again?"
