The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 518 - 482 Happy Graduation!

[Who said Mr. Gu didn’t come! I don’t want to run the eight hundred, ahhhh!]

[Exactly, who spread that rumor! This man, before I knew he was Gu Yanjing, I already saw him at the school!]

[I saw him when I entered the school at seven, getting out of his car and walking towards the school. I took more than ten glances at him. I was wondering what this incredibly handsome nobleman was doing here. Turns out he came for his wife’s graduation ceremony!]

[That’s what I said. Everyone who attended the degree conferral ceremony today and came down from the stage must have seen Gu Yanjing on the leadership seat, right?]

[He’s not school leadership. For events like graduation ceremonies, the school isn’t qualified to invite him. Plus, there wasn’t even a nameplate on the table, clearly an impromptu invitation from leadership.]

[So, there’s only one reason he’s here! He came for his wife’s graduation ceremony. And he came so early.]

[Not only did he come early, but he also waited for so long. Our graduation ceremony is not short, and it’s held outdoors in this temperature.]

[Mr. Gu’s appearance and aura don’t seem like those of someone patient. But he’s so patient with the campus belle. I returned to the dormitory, and he was still outside waiting.]

[My goodness! Who’s trying to harm me! I didn’t even pass my physical fitness run, ahh ——]

[Who’s saying they’re not in love? Who! They’re obviously very much in love! I swear! When Mr. Gu held Qiao Yuxian’s chin and pinched her face with a reverse hand, I almost wanted to roll around on the ground like crazy.]

[You want to roll? I felt like lying on the ground and eating the grass on the field!]

[With that reverse hand pinch on the face, there’s no way they aren’t in love.]

[Who came up with this bet? Can’t change it! Whoever programmed this, come here! I want to change it! I want to change it!]

[I told you Mr. Gu would definitely come, Mr. Gu would definitely come!]

[Mr. Gu’s eyes were glued to the campus belle, following her all the time. Oh my god, I now reasonably suspect he’s all about love.]

[He really does seem like it. His gaze never leaves the campus belle.]

[A nobleman, rich, powerful, handsome, with a good figure, obviously great stamina, and still love-struck. Why don’t I have such a man?]

[I want a man like that too.]

[Bro upstairs, your account’s gender is male, huh.]

[If heaven gave me someone like that, I could bend a little.]

[Also, also, Gu Yicheng never appeared. Ji Xiaoxiao has left, and Gu Yicheng hasn’t appeared. Plus, Ji Xiaoxiao looks weary, don’t you guys find it strange?]

[Could it be that their relationship isn’t good anymore?]

[Maybe Gu Yicheng had something and couldn’t make it. The bouquet Ji Xiaoxiao was holding was given by Gu Yanjing’s assistant, must have been bought by Gu Yicheng.]

[He must have had something and couldn’t come. The Gu Family still takes good care of Ji Xiaoxiao.]

...

At night.

Qiao Yuxian went back to the dorm to pack her things.

Many things were left in the dorm during her internship.

Now that she’s graduated, she definitely has to take everything away.

She was packing her things in the dorm.

Once she was done, she would leave, with Gu Yanjing still waiting downstairs.

But before she finished packing, Qiao Yuxian was pulled to the field by her roommate.

Because of the bets on the forum, lots of people gathered on the field at night.

There were people there just to watch the fun.

Others came to run the eight hundred or a thousand meters.

Some even started a live stream.

Zhou Yunbing and her friends saw the live stream and dragged Qiao Yuxian to the field.

Gu Yanjing was waiting for Qiao Yuxian downstairs at the dorm.

When Qiao Yuxian was dragged to the field, he naturally followed her there.

The field was lively, and everyone was very excited.

And after Qiao Yuxian appeared on the field, it felt like the field was going to explode.

The moment she stepped in, she regretted it.

She wasn’t afraid of crowds, but this level of excitement was a bit too much for her.

She felt it was louder than ten thunderclaps by her ears.

She pulled Gu Yanjing wanting to leave.

But they stopped her, not letting her go.

She’d come, after all, and the bet started because of her.

Someone suggested that it’d be best if she announced the start of the running activity.

Qiao Yuxian declined.

But it’s unclear which department those persuasive participants were from, they talked her into dizziness.

She almost couldn’t remember how she ended up standing next to the starting line.

And Gu Yanjing stayed by her side the whole time.

Just staying with her, not participating, not saying much.

Letting her play around.

As long as she’s happy.

Qiao Yuxian stood by the starting line, looking at the crowd: "So many people came."

"Of course. College students are known for being true to their word, doing what they say." Someone said.

"Right, even if you can’t run, you have to."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled: "Hmph, for saying I’m not happy. This is the consequence of saying that."

Everyone laughed.

Someone said: "I didn’t say it, I just clicked along with the majority on that poll."

"Yeah, herd mentality. Always thinking the side with more votes is right."

"I wanted to see others run eight hundred or a thousand, but here I am standing."

"I’m worse off, I didn’t know why I was here before I hit the field. I saw the vote and just clicked randomly."

"I’m the best, I only realized why I’m on the starting line after the campus belle arrived."

"Yeah, I just explained it to him."

"I’m different. I clicked that Mr. Gu would come, but I’m here running along."

"I’m different too, I clicked that Mr. Gu would come. But I’m running for my roommate who’s on her period."

"Now we know the campus belle is very happy, we can all relax." Someone piped up again from the crowd. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Whoa, what’s that? Are you saying if I were unhappy, there’d be some protection action for me?" Qiao Yuxian joked with them.

Those who really came to run were just playing around on the forum.

But those who truly stirred things up.

Those who bad-mouthed in the comments.

They wouldn’t be here, never wishing you well. They’re surely hiding in the dark watching the live stream, silently fuming.

The ones who came just wanted to join the fun with the bets.

As their student days were ending, such a night, where everyone was gathered noisily together like this, might never happen again.

In this way, it could be a special conclusion to their student years.

Although it was really noisy.

But Qiao Yuxian was genuinely affected by the atmosphere.

"I think Mr. Gu won’t let unhappy things happen." Someone suddenly said from the crowd.

Mr. Gu, who had been silently standing aside, rarely spoke: "Hmm, no."

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing looked at her, earnestly saying again: "No."

The crowd started making noise again.

Qiao Yuxian smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, don’t worry, I won’t let such a thing happen either."

Gu Yanjing raised his hand and pinched her face again.

Everyone cheered again.

Qiao Yuxian cleared her throat and said: "Alright, alright, let’s start. In this fun run, don’t take it too seriously, do what you can."

"No problem!"

"Okay." Qiao Yuxian held the confetti popper, ready to twist it, she paused, then shouted, "May all you wish for come true, may your paths be smooth! May your future be bright! Rise to the top! May this life be extraordinary!!"

After saying that, she twisted the confetti popper.

With a bang, it exploded into the sky.

The confetti fell, twinkling under the lights, and everyone ran forward together.

"Happy graduation!" Suddenly, someone yelled while running.

After this shout, everyone chimed in with perfect timing: "Happy graduation!"

Qiao Yuxian watched them run into the distance, then turned to look at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing was also looking at her, watching her bright eyes under the lights, then he reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her closer to him, and leaned down to kiss her lips: "Happy graduation."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, paused for a moment and said: "Starting tomorrow, I am going to be an adult."

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing responded, "Grown up now."

Qiao Yuxian laughed...
