After it ended, Li Zhen was carried by Lu Yanming to take a bath, and finally went back to the big bed.
The plan to sleep on the sofa was too difficult to implement. From when she said she wanted to stop for a month, Lu Yanming did not let her stop for a day.
After washing away the stickiness, Li Zhen, who was lying on the bed, was not tired as usual, but was strangely energetic and had some trouble sleeping.
In the deep dark night, Lu Yanming gently hugged her, "What's wrong?"
"President Lu, did you see my performance on stage today?" Li Zhen asked in a muffled voice.
"I'm watching."
"How do you think it was?"
Lu Yanming pondered for two seconds without answering the question, just saying: "Tomorrow A University has a graduation performance, and your junior schoolmates from the film and television performance department will be on stage."
"Li Zhen, go back and take a look, find your old self, you used to... never doubt yourself."
Li Zhen called Ren Zongshun early in the morning to ask for leave.
Fei Zhao drove her to the gate of A University.
But Li Zhen got out of the car and saw Lu Yanming sitting steadily in the car, just looking at her quietly.
"President Lu, aren't you going in?" Li Zhen thought that since he was here anyway, he would take a look inside.
"I won't go in, I got off work to pick you up and take you to the theater." Inside the car, Lu Yanming lowered his head and fiddled with the pure gold cufflinks on his shirt, speaking casually.
Li Zhen could only see his streamlined and handsome side profile.
"Okay." Li Zhen knew Lu Yanming was busy with work, so she turned around and headed to school by herself.
Not until Li Zhen's footsteps faded away did Lu Yanming look up.
He looked at her slender back, looked at the magnificent gate of A University, looked at the students coming and going.
In a trance, he went back to a few years ago.
At that time, his almost self-abusing stubbornness, every time he secretly looked at Li Zhen, he would warn himself that it was the last time, but he couldn't help coming to see her again after a few days.
He was enthusiastically happy to get close to Li Zhen, and at the same time desperately watched Yu Sheng be intimate with her.
This suffocating tug of emotions almost completely destroyed him in his then mentally unstable state.
In just a few seconds, Lu Yanming's eyes were completely clear, sweeping over the dazzling gate of A University, and he softly ordered.
"Drive."
Outside the gatekeeper's room at the gate of A University, it was extremely noisy at this time.
"Uncle, let us in."
"We just came to see a graduation performance and we'll leave."
"Go easy on us, uncle."
A bunch of A University alumni wanted to go in today.
Uncle at the gatekeeper's room had a stern face, "No, no, unless you opened an invitation letter in advance, otherwise none of you can come in."
The people who couldn't get in saw that the uncle was adamant, so they could only hurry to contact people for help.
Li Zhen squeezed through the crowd and went to the front row, "Uncle, what invitation letter is needed?"
The uncle who was righteous just now recognized the person in front of him at a glance, "Oh my, isn't this Li..."
"Li Zhen, I'm Li Zhen, Uncle Zhou." Li Zhen said with a smile, her eyes bent and looked particularly attractive.
The uncle laughed, revealing two gold teeth, "You haven't been back for many years. You must be here today to watch the performance, right?"
"Yes, uncle." Li Zhen was surprised that the uncle still remembered her.
"Go in quickly, go in quickly, welcome back to your alma mater." The uncle laughed and opened the gate lock.
The people around were dumbfounded, and shouted loudly, "Hey, how come she can go in? You are favoring her!"
The uncle glanced at the yelling male student, "Are you from A University?"
"Yes, I used to be." The male student hurriedly said.
"She is Li Zhen." The uncle spoke slowly.
The male student immediately shut up. So she was the Li Zhen...
No wonder she could go in.
She was the famously heroic woman from A University back then, a character with full marks.
Alright, he conceded.
Li Zhen walked into the auditorium and found a corner to sit down.
The auditorium was filled with people.
"Li Zhen?" A familiar voice came from behind.
Li Zhen looked back, it was the class teacher from university.
"Teacher Liu?" Li Zhen looked pleasantly surprised.
"I thought I recognized the wrong person, it really is you." Teacher Liu sat next to Li Zhen, excitedly grabbed her hand, "The teacher hasn't seen you for a long time, I missed you so much! Why didn't you come to see the teacher."
Li Zhen felt sour in her heart, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Teacher, I didn't pursue acting after graduation, I don't have the face to see you."
Teacher Liu frowned, and regretfully said, "Li Zhen, you are the most spirited child I have taught. You really wasted your talent."
Li Zhen was weighed down in her heart, and her breathing was heavy.
She thought Teacher Liu would continue to nag her.
But Teacher Liu changed the subject and said heavily, "However, the teacher still hopes that you can have a day to start over."
Li Zhen's heart was filled with warmth, "Teacher, I wasted three years, do you think I can still do it?"
"Of course, it's never too late, especially for you." Teacher Liu laughed, giving the most powerful affirmation to her favorite student.
Li Zhen also laughed, from the bottom of her heart, but her eyes were a little wet.
The graduation performance was still busy, so after chatting with Li Zhen for a few more sentences, Teacher Liu went backstage.
Li Zhen sat below, watching graduates from other departments mostly doing chorus or skits, only her junior schoolmates from the film and television acting department pulled out all the stops at the graduation performance, and received rounds of applause.
This graduating class happened to be Li Zhen's junior schoolmates from when she was a college senior, and some people on stage, Li Zhen could even call out their names accurately.
The little friends who cheered her on three years ago when she performed, have now grown into towering trees.
This kind of vigorous vitality that rushed up gave Li Zhen a strong sense of life force.
Li Zhen thought, this was what she was like before.
She could do it!
She could do it before, and she could in the future!
The last performance ended.
In the thunderous applause, the host came on stage.
"Distinguished leaders, teachers, and students, on this special day, we are holding a grand graduation ceremony for the graduating students. We have the honor of inviting A University's outstanding alumnus Yu Sheng to give a graduation speech to everyone."
Li Zhen below the stage was slightly stunned.
Yu Sheng also came?
As soon as the two words "Yu Sheng" came out, the applause and cheers below were like thunder.
For this graduating class, the junior schoolmates from back then, who didn't admire the popular schoolmate Yu Sheng at that time.
The host's voice was sonorous, although it was a manuscript, the tone could not conceal his admiration.
"When Yu Sheng was in school, his major GPA was 4.0, his overall GPA was 3.87, with 43 courses with full marks."
"He won a total of 63 awards in 4 years, including 14 full-English financial academic papers published in top international financial academic journals while in school, once won the first prize in international financial academics, and the special first prize for national financial new leaders."
"Let's welcome with applause: Yu Sheng..."
The applause in the auditorium was endless.
Under the anticipation of the public, Yu Sheng took the stage.
The bright spotlight on the stage fell on Yu Sheng's upright figure, highlighting the casual arrogance of the youth, like the blazing sun in the sky, magnificent as fire.
