Chapter 45 – 47 Graduation Ceremony
Qin Hao had just entered the classroom when he encountered Chen Shuna and her two friends.

Upon seeing him, Chen Shuna said with a smile, “How did you do on the exam, Qin Hao?”

“Not bad, how about you?” Qin Hao replied indifferently.

Chen Shuna answered with a smile, “I think I did okay, and Wang Juan and Zhao Man also feel the same.”

Qin Hao: “That’s good. I hope you all get into the universities of your dreams.”

“Thank you.” The three girls quickly expressed their gratitude.

Just then, Yuan Zhengxiang and Song Wei walked in. Song Wei, seeming to have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, deliberately bumped into Qin Hao.

“Hey, Song Wei, are you looking for trouble?” Seeing Song Wei’s behavior, Chen Shuna spoke up.

Song Wei turned his head and glanced at Chen Shuna, “Mind your own business.”

Yuan Zhengxiang stood by with a smile on his face, silently watching.

Qin Hao looked at Song Wei, who was also staring back at him with a very apparent provocation in his eyes, “What are you looking at? Do you know who I’m hanging out with now? Kun from Anchang Street.”

“Slap”

Qin Hao slapped him across the face, then landed a spinning kick on Song Wei’s neck.

Song Wei hit the ground without even a chance to react, stars swirling in his vision and his head buzzing loudly.

The people inside the room wore stunned expressions. Wow, that was impressive.

The movements were fluid and seamless as if moving clouds and flowing water. In the eyes of Chen Shuna and the others, Qin Hao looked very cool at that moment.

“No matter who you hang out with, you’re just a piece of trash in my eyes,” Qin Hao said in a calm tone.

Now that they had graduated, even if they fought in the classroom, they didn’t have to worry about being punished by the school’s Discipline Office.

After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Zhengxiang, “If you want to mess with me, be a man and stand up for yourself. Why let others do it for you?”

Yuan Zhengxiang, somewhat fearful of his martial ability, said dismissively, “Are you even worth the trouble to me? Just a poor student. After the unified exam scores come out, we’ll be in completely different worlds.”

After saying this, he headed towards his own seat, actually fearful that Qin Hao might lash out at him.

Qin Hao let out a cold snicker but didn’t say much more. Time would give the best answer to these people.

He returned to his seat and glanced at Du Wanrou next to him; however, she was turned away, talking to someone else.

Before long, their homeroom teacher arrived, first inquiring about how everyone’s exams had gone, then discussing the exam answers and letting the students roughly estimate their scores.

The graduation ceremony would take place in the school’s auditorium that afternoon, and all the seniors were required to attend.

Those who wished to perform at the ceremony were welcome to do so, not only the students but many teachers would also take the stage.

At noon, the classmates went to the cafeteria together; this was probably their last meal at the school.

Many familiar faces in the class sat together, chatting and occasionally expressing their sentiments.

Liu Wei, Yu Da, and Wang Fei sat together, laughing and talking.

Qin Hao, having no friends in the class, sat alone in a corner eating his lunch, looking somewhat isolated.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhengxiang’s mouth curled into a disdainful smile; he was surrounded by many people, both boys and girls.

Many classmates knew that his family owned a company and that they might need Yuan Zhengxiang’s help in the future, so they all actively engaged in conversation with him.

Du Wanrou’s side was even more crowded. Not only was she beautiful, but her family was also rumored to be wealthy.

Many students had seen Du Wanrou being picked up and dropped off by a black BMW for school, clearly no ordinary affair.

…

Qin Hao ignored those people and ate his meal alone.

As he was eating with his head down, a figure sat down opposite him.

Qin Hao looked up and saw Xia Qing watching him with her charming dimples, “You don’t mind, do you?”

“Of course not,” Qin Hao replied with a slight smile.

A goddess like Xia Qing had lots of people who wanted to sit with her, and now she had chosen to sit across from Qin Hao.

It was clear to Qin Hao what that meant.

The students from Class 1 of the arts stream looked enviously and jealously at their goddess sitting across from a boy from another class.

Some even wanted to confront Qin Hao but were quickly held back by their classmates.

The one who was pulled back said irritably, “Why are you holding me back? You guys can tolerate this, but I can’t. We’re about to graduate anyway, who’s scared of who.”

“Do you even know who he is? See those guys from Class 8 like Xu Liang? If you dare to mess with him, it won’t just be Xu Liang and his gang who will take you out for a beating.”

…

When Du Wanrou saw Xia Qing sitting opposite Qin Hao, she walked over with her tray and sat down beside Qin Hao.

Caught off guard, Qin Hao glanced at Xia Qing with an embarrassed expression. What was going on?

All morning, Du Wanrou had ignored him, and Qin Hao thought it could be because of the gift he had given her.

But now that Du Wanrou was here, he was a bit confused.

Without paying attention to Qin Hao, Du Wanrou instead said to Xia Qing with a smile, “You don’t mind, do you, Xia Qing?”

Xia Qing smiled back, “It’s a public canteen, how could I mind?”

Though both spoke with smiling faces, Qin Hao could feel the invisible hostility between the two.

At that moment, students from Class 2 and other nearby classes turned their attention towards Qin Hao.

Damn, who was this guy? The two most beautiful girls of the school were sitting by his side.

Yuan Zhengxiang and the others couldn’t believe it. He was a slacker, had no money, and wasn’t particularly handsome. Why were the two prettiest girls in the school favoring him?

Were these two blind? I have the looks, top grades, and money at home.

Where am I worse than this loser?

Qin Hao had a rather lackluster meal at noon, mainly because of Xia Qing and Du Wanrou.

Although they didn’t talk much afterwards, that invisible hostility remained.

He was also somewhat conflicted internally.

…

After 2 p.m.

All senior year students gathered in the lecture theater for the graduation ceremony, which was about to begin.

It started with the principal’s opening remarks, followed by speeches from the vice principal, the director of education, and representative teachers.

That alone took almost an hour.

Then Class 1 of the arts stream started their performance, and the first to go on stage was surprisingly Xia Qing.

She glanced in the direction where Qin Hao was sitting, and with a smile said, “In the vast sea of people, it’s fate that brought us together, let’s share the moment with ‘Just Met You’.”

“Great…”

The audience erupted with thunderous applause, and Qin Hao also softly clapped his hands.

Xia Qing wasn’t just beautiful; her singing was enchanting, mesmerizing everyone who heard it.

After the song ended, people clapped enthusiastically. Xia Qing looked at Qin Hao once more, then smiled as she stepped off the stage.
