Feng Jue: “Miscalculation!”

He shot a fierce glare at Gu Jin, out of Gu Yang’s line of sight.

Gu Jin’s lips curved with a hint of provocation as she returned his gaze. So, he wanted to marry her sister as soon as he graduated? Not a chance.

Gu Jin reached over, gently ruffling Gu Yang’s hair, her usually cold eyes softened with warmth. “You’re such a good girl, sister.”

Gu Yang turned and beamed at her. “I’ll keep every promise I made to you, Sister.”

Feng Jue deflated.

Gu Jin looked pleased.

Xiao Yize, however, was torn.

On one hand, he didn’t want Feng Jue–the persistent ‘dog’–to marry his sister too soon. But on the other, he wanted to marry Jin himself as soon as possible!

Why couldn’t both his sister and his girlfriend just stay in the Xiao family?

His sister had only recently come back to the Xiao family. She was mostly away at school, and when she was around, she had to split her time with the Gu family. And now, after graduation, Feng Jue planned to whisk her away.

Jin was right–Feng Jue really was an eyesore.

At Ruan Chu and Ji Linbai’s wedding, another figure watched with mixed emotions.

Mrs. Ji and Ji Minghui stood on the stage, smiling as the couple exchanged vows. While thrilled to see their son marry, the two long-time fans of Guoguo’s career couldn’t help but feel a pang of melancholy at Ruan Chu’s decision to marry at the height of her success.

After the wedding, Ruan Chu, fresh off her Best Actress win, paused her work to go on a honeymoon with Ji Linbai.

By popular demand, she shared glimpses of their travels on the Grape app, uploading sweet videos that made her fans swoon with joy.

Ji Linbai frequently shared snapshots of their honeymoon on his WeChat Moments. Each time Xiao Yize and Feng Jue saw these posts, they couldn’t help but feel wistful.

When would it be their turn?

Especially Feng Jue, who vowed that when he finally took Gu Yang on their honeymoon, he’d post ten updates daily–just to make the Xiao brothers and Gu Jin envious.

Determined to marry Gu Yang as soon as possible, Feng Jue often visited Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling, his future mothers-in-law, charming them and subtly bringing up the wedding date. After all, dealing with Xiao Dingkun and Gu Zhaoming, those two seasoned schemers, wasn’t easy. Luckily, both men tended to listen to their wives.

While working to win over the elders and plan the wedding, Feng Jue stayed vigilant in securing Gu Yang’s affections. With so many vying for her attention–Gu Jin, the Xiao brothers, her friends from No. 1 Middle School, and Team Blue Whale–he wasn’t about to fall behind.

That same year, Zhu Di’s boyfriend, Zheng Yi, led his team to victory in the World Basketball Championship.

Back in high school, Zheng Yi had faced hardship when his family went bankrupt, drastically reducing the Zheng Corporation’s former glory to a handful of dessert shops after paying off debts. Although not as grand as before, he’d built his path to success, step by step.

Later, Zheng Yi and Zhu Di got together. Determined to prove himself worthy of Zhu Di and meet her father Zhu Qi’s standards, Zheng Yi began his business by expanding the Ji family’s dessert shop.

Now, six years on, his “First Dessert Shop” had become a renowned brand and internet sensation, boasting hundreds of branches nationwide.

With both honor and a sizeable dowry saved, Zheng Yi proposed to Zhu Di the day he brought home the championship trophy. As he stepped down from the podium, he knelt before her and asked for her hand.

Their friends from Jin City No. 1 Middle School–Gu Yang, Gu Jin, Feng Jue, Gu Pei, Xiao Yize, and others–were all there to witness the moment.

Lu Mao, now an imposing and handsome leader of the Lu family, had shed his former chubby appearance. Yet, in the spirit of old times, he sported his favorite green hair and a loose T-shirt. Leading the cheers, he clapped and shouted, “Together, together!”

Zhang Shan and Li Shi quickly joined in, their voices ringing out in support.

Gu Yang beamed as she joined the applause, followed by Gu Jin, Feng Jue, Gu Pei, Xiao Yize, and the rest.

Surrounded by laughter and dazzling lights, the reunion felt like a beautiful echo of their high school days.
