Blushing, Tang Zhi took the card and the flowers. But when she picked up the heart-shaped card, she was somewhat surprised, for Tang Zhi clearly remembered that Shen Yushu had bought this card that very morning!
She... had she not intended to confess to Wei Zhao? Why had the card ended up with Wei Zhao? Could Wei Zhao have passed it on to her? Puzzled, Tang Zhi opened the card, and saw that what was written inside was in Wei Zhao's handwriting—simple words, yet they plucked at the strings of Tang Zhi's heart.
"The summer that cannot be forgotten, the shade of the trees, the ring, the promise."
A short line, a few short words, expressing Wei Zhao's heartfelt feelings and his promise to her for a lifetime. Tang Zhi resolved to treasure this card forever, to put it in a frame and set it on the bedside table in her room...
But it also proved that this card had not been a prop for Shen Yushu to confess to Wei Zhao—it had genuinely been given to Wei Zhao, for no particular purpose at all.
Somewhat startled, Tang Zhi looked in the direction of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, a flicker of gratitude passing through her eyes. In any case, today's confession event had left Tang Zhi gratified and content; neither Feng Xiaoxiao nor Shen Yushu had played any pranks or caused any disruption.
Watching Tang Zhi's figure on stage, Shen Yushu felt a little envious. "Yao Yao, it's all your fault for not letting me go up. Otherwise I'd have confessed to Chewing Gum Bro, and he'd surely have come up to accept."
"Keep dreaming!" Gu Mengyao said scornfully.
"If he doesn't come up, I'll tell everyone about him kissing me and seeing me without clothes," Shen Yushu said.
"If you're not afraid of the shame, go ahead and say it," Gu Mengyao said indifferently.
"Oh... forget it then..." Shen Yushu sighed and murmured to herself, "I'm going to leave in the end anyway. I'm just a passerby. It's only that... I'd like to leave behind a beautiful memory..."
"What did you just say?" Gu Mengyao had not heard clearly and did not know what Shen Yushu was saying.
"Nothing..." Shen Yushu shook her head and sighed.
Gu Mengyao was rather baffled. She had not understood what Shen Yushu was saying, nor did she know at that moment that, some time in the future, she and Tang Zhi, Feng Xiaoxiao, and Shen Yushu would all depart one by one—and reunite one by one...
These verdant high school years would become a beautiful memory, and recollected in another time and another place, they would stir boundless emotion.
But no one can predict the future—not even the prophet Shu. Otherwise, if all four of them had confessed to Wei Zhao together, this memory would surely have become even more beautiful...
The confession event came to a satisfactory close with no disturbances, much to Wang Zhifeng's relief. Tomorrow's outing would be the last group activity before graduation, and Wang Zhifeng would take part throughout, hoping nothing untoward would happen.
And after this event, the graduating class would have to enter the tense state of exam preparation. Wang Zhifeng hoped each of them would achieve good results—and a good future...
