During the whole graduation ceremony, they caught a lot of unwanted attention whether it was Zhiren, Ran Zi or Ru. They had suddenly become a topic of discussion for many.
And the school results weren't surprising at all. Yuan had indeed gotten the award for the top student and even topped his entrance exam in the whole capital. Because of that when he was called on stage to collect his certificate and medal, Ru not only stood up to clap for him, she even dared to blow a loud whistle for him.
Xiao Zhiren had to pull that excited bunny down before he could knock some sense into her but seeing her glimmering eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say anything at all. He knew she was wanton but didn't her charms lied in that? He really couldn't complain.
While Yuan was the first, Zhang Han was pushed to second but he wasn't the one complaining since he had other achievements to flaunt proudly. He was the class president and also a member of different clubs. It had given him a huge advantage.
After the long ceremony, they hurried over to Yuan and Zhang Han.
"Congratulations to both of you!"
Yuan and Zhang Han laughed happily since it was the end of high school life while they talked casually with each other.
"We should have a celebration." Obviously, the idea came from the ever-ready party fanatic, Ran Zi.
"Can't you think of anything else?" Zhiren slapped the back of his head. Ran Zi scowled but still shook his head in negation.
"Does celebration means a lot of free food?" Zhiren rolled his eyes at Ru while the others burst out laughing.
"Great! One is looking for a celebration to get a reason to drink and the other for free food. I'm really stuck between one hell of people."
Both Yuan and Zhang Han silently chuckled while Ru and Ran Zi shared a look before shrugging their shoulder in nonchalance.
"Oi! Little squirrel, your girlfriend is coming." Ru nudged Yuan towards the petite girl who was walking toward them.
Seeing her, Yuan scrunched up his nose and said, "Neither is she my girlfriend and nor am I interested in her. She's Han's love interest."
Feeling curious gazes on himself, Zhang Han rubbed his forehead saying, "I have decided to stay celibate for a lifetime. So, no love interest at all." His denial made the already curious gazes even more eager.
"Let's get out of here before she catches up with us," Yuan started dragging them away since he really didn't want to have any interaction with Shen Yue. She was the reason Zhang Han and he got into a fight and became acquainted before becoming best friends. But since Zhang Han was interested in her at first and she was looking for Yuan, both of them had a tacit decision to mutually avoid her.
Listening to their explanation while leaving the school grounds, Ru said, "That's a smart move. A girl who makes you fight with your friend is really not worth it."
"Stop misguiding youngsters." Zhiren's stern voice came from behind and Ru turned her face to stuck her tongue out at him childishly.
"I'm certainly not misguiding them. I'm just warning them to be beware of girls with alternative motives. Also, they are too young to get into a relationship. I mean look at us. Aren't we still wandering alone?" Ru's remark got both youngsters to give these three people some weird looks.
"Talk about yourself... I'm in the process of chasing my girl." Zhiren answered as if it was the most normal thing to say. While Ru's step halted before she composed herself at, 'My girl'. Like, seriously? When did she become his?
"Bro, are you serious?" Both Ran Zi and Yuan inquired simultaneously with disbelief clearly visible on their faces. Because they were the ones most clear about Zhiren's non-existing love life.
"Both of you don't need to know." Zhiren conveniently waved them off and alighted his car. Rolling down his window pane, he asked, "Yuan, are you coming with me?"
Yuan shook his head without hesitation and said, "I'm joining Oniisan."
"Okay, then Han is coming with me and Xiao Hong will be joining us at the venue." Ran Zi stated as he beckoned Han.
While everyone got in their own respective cars, Ran Zi horned to get Ru's attention and said, "How about a race?"
"Heh! Don't cry later." Saying that she winked at him before pushing her sunglasses up her nose bridge.
And that's how both the sports car revved on the road like a leopard after its prey. Only Xiao Zhiren was left out of the game but he was fine with it. Someone was needed to pray for those two reckless drivers.
