Until 10 o'clock that night, Li Yanbei and the others had left, and the cleaning ladies had also gone. Now in the room were only Song Luokui and Chi Yu.
Song Luokui and Chi Yu looked at each other. She blinked her eyes, "I should go too."
Chi Yu held her hand, "Wait a moment. I thought about what Wen Qin said, and I wonder where you think the dressing room and vanity would be better placed?"
Song Luokui: "...Never mind. Didn't you say...we could connect them?"
Chi Yu smiled when he heard that, "You're right." After getting married, they could connect them.
Song Luokui: "It's late, I should go back."
Chi Yu: "Yeah, I'll walk you."
Song Luokui: "..." It was just across the way, there was no need to walk her.
Chi Yu walked Song Luokui to the door. She opened it and turned to say goodnight to him. Then she looked at his hand still holding hers and gestured for him to let go.
But Chi Yu didn't release her hand. Instead, he pulled her into an embrace and sighed, "I don't want to let go."
Song Luokui: "Okay...if I have time tomorrow, I'll come over again? Or you can come here."
Chi Yu kissed her forehead, "Okay, good night."
"Good night."
Since school was starting again, Song Luokui went to the company early the next day. "I have to go to school the day after tomorrow, so I may not be at the company as much. If there's anything, just have Li Bei tell me. If there are any urgent documents, she can bring them directly to me."
"Understood."
The company was slowly getting on track and starting to make good money. With more business, several of their short films received positive reviews.
According to the plan, they were preparing to start producing a TV series, of course starting with a low-budget web series. The company had been buying rights recently, and the more they earned, the more they spent. Song Luokui didn't hesitate to sign the reimbursement forms.
After school started, Song Luokui became a senior in her third year. The college leadership came to find her, "Student Song, we'd like to invite you as the representative of the College of Liberal Arts to give an opening speech."
The leader was very kind, "Student Song, you've declined many of our previous activity invitations. I hope you can agree this time. Wouldn't it be great to leave a nice memory from your university life?"
Song Luokui hesitated for a moment but still agreed, "Okay."
The leaders and counselors were delighted. "Then you can go prepare properly."
"Thank you, leaders and counselors."
That night, Song Luokui returned to the family courtyard home. She was writing her speech draft at the desk in her room when Song Luosheng knocked on the door. Song Luokui didn't look up, "Come in."
Song Luosheng brought in some fruit, "What are you doing? Aunt Gui said you went straight to your room after dinner. Working on homework?"
Song Luokui: "No, a speech draft."
Song Luosheng was surprised, "Are you going to participate in a speech contest? I'll go cheer you on, sis."
Song Luokui: "No, it's for the College of Liberal Arts opening ceremony."
Song Luosheng: "Then I'll go watch."
Song Luokui: "How will you watch? Are you going to repeat your freshman year? And aren't you a second-year graduate student? Don't you have an opening ceremony?"
Song Luosheng: "Yes, but it won't stop me from watching you."
Song Luokui shrugged, "Fine, but don't make a scene saying you know me when you're there."
When Song Luokui told Chi Yu that she would be giving an opening speech at the College of Liberal Arts ceremony, Chi Yu also said, "Then I'll go watch you."
Song Luokui: "...Maybe not, my brother said he'd go watch me too."
Chi Yu: "It's okay, he won't know I'm there to watch you."
The College of Liberal Arts opening ceremony was soon ready to begin. In the university auditorium, all the new students from the College of Liberal Arts were already seated. The leadership of the College of Liberal Arts was seated on the stage.
"Today, we have also invited two senior students to attend our opening ceremony. Please welcome Mr. Chi Yu, Chairman of the Shan Yu Group, who is also a second-year graduate student at our university." The host pointed to the well-dressed man in the front row, and the large screen also broadcasted the people in the front row so everyone could see.
"Clap clap clap clap!" Many people in the audience applauded.
Song Luosheng: !! F***!
"We also welcome Mr. Song Luosheng, Chairman of Songhua Technology, who is also a second-year graduate student at our university - our senior student Song." There were a few empty seats between Song Luosheng and Chi Yu. Song Luosheng immediately made eye contact with Chi Yu.
Chi Yu, however, didn't show any reaction. He took the microphone handed to him and said, "Today, I'm honored to be invited to attend..." At this moment, Chi Yu's speech was clearly shown on the large screen, and everyone downstairs went "Wow" in a loud voice. Some people couldn't help but secretly take photos with their phones.
After Chi Yu finished speaking, it was Song Luosheng's turn: "I am also very honored today..."
When the large screen switched to show Song Luosheng's face, the audience let out another loud "Wow."
Sitting in the second row, Song Luokui: ...
She didn't expect it to be like this, and the order too... Her brother must be upset.
However, in such a public setting, Song Luosheng still maintained his composure. After speaking, he sat down obediently and didn't look at Chi Yu again, but he did ponder: Chi Yu came here to watch my sister Luokui, so what is he here for?
After they finished speaking, the applause from below was extremely loud and sustained.
The host smiled and said, "It seems the two senior students are very popular. Hahaha. Next..." He then introduced some other invited dignitaries, after which the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts began to speak.
"Respected teachers and students, good morning everyone! I am... Thank you all for choosing Peking University's College of Liberal Arts... I hope we will study together for the rise of China..."
"Now, please welcome our student representative from the College of Liberal Arts, Song Luokui, to deliver a speech."
Everyone then saw a young woman stand up from the second row. She was wearing the College of Liberal Arts uniform, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking fresh and clean.
As she walked onto the stage, the large screen also clearly showed her face. The audience downstairs let out another "Wow" in admiration.
Then a voice was heard: "Oh my god, what a day. I got to see super handsome guys and a super beautiful lady."
"Respected leaders, teachers, dear students, good morning everyone. I am Song Luokui from the XX class..."
In the middle of her speech, Song Luokui suddenly made eye contact with Chi Yu downstairs. He was smiling at her. Song Luokui's heart tightened, afraid someone would notice, so she quickly averted her gaze. It then fell on Song Luosheng's face, and he gave her a thumbs up gesture.
The oblivious leader next to him asked, "Does Mr. Song know the student on stage?"
Song Luosheng said proudly, "Ah, that's my sister."
The leader was surprised for a moment, seeing the name of the student representative, Song Luokui, on the stage. Oh, it differed from Mr. Song Luosheng by just one character, no wonder.
"I hope everyone will have a wonderful time at Peking University..." After finishing her speech, Song Luokui bowed and left the stage.
Next, there were some student singing performances to liven up the atmosphere, as well as speeches by alumni and corporate representatives.
