Chapter 282

After the college entrance exam results were released, the rush of university applications began.

This didn't concern Shi Li much, as her university and major had already been decided.

However, Shi Li often received messages from her classmates seeking advice on their applications.

Having not gone through the normal college entrance exam process herself, Shi Li was initially a novice when it came to university applications. But due to the constant inquiries from her classmates, by the end of the summer, she had become quite an expert, capable of hosting a live stream to help others with their choices of schools and majors.

During the application period, Qianpu School finally held its graduation ceremony.

This year's ceremony was more grand than previous ones, perhaps because the students performed well in the exams, and the school board was in a generous mood, allocating more budget.

The school board's speech was particularly vigorous.

No one really cared about what the leaders said during the ceremony; for the students, the most important part was taking graduation photos.

Finally, after the leaders finished their speeches, everyone excitedly headed to the playground to take photos, with the school hiring professional photographers.

After the group photo, everyone sought out their close friends to take more photos in various corners of the campus.

As Shi Li and her classmates descended from the photo platform, her gaze landed on Feng Yunhe, who was about to take the group photo.

Although Feng Yunhe rarely attended school due to his busy company affairs, perhaps it was the male protagonist buff from the heavens, he still managed to achieve good results in the college entrance exam. It was no surprise that he would attend the same university as Shi Li, though in a different major.

From a distance, Shi Li spotted Liang Rongrong, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, being pulled by unfamiliar classmates for a group photo.

During her sophomore and junior years, Liang Rongrong had starred in several dramas, achieving good results and becoming a minor national celebrity.

Her focus wasn't on academics, and although her grades were average, her national popularity and decent acting skills landed her a spot in a prestigious performing arts university in the country.

Shi Li rarely saw her at school, and it seemed this was the first time in months that Shi Li had seen her in person, though she often saw her in videos.

It seemed that everyone had taken different paths from their previous lives, and even from the original book's plot.

Over the past year, Shi Li had been busy helping her classmates improve their grades and hadn't meddled in the romance between the two. She didn't know how their relationship was progressing.

If the two hadn't gotten together, logically, Shi Li should continue to play matchmaker to ensure they did.

However, after a year of passive neglect, focusing only on what she wanted to do, Shi Li felt incredibly liberated.

Today, the sunshine was perfect, and Shi Li thought about the future. To hell with the tasks, and whatever comes next.

Whether it was pretending to be a fool and liking Feng Yunhe, or simply playing matchmaker between Feng Yunhe and Liang Rongrong, none of it was her true intention.

Life is short, and she wasn't going to do things she didn't want to do.

If she wasn't happy, she wouldn't do it.

What's the point of doing it all over again? If it happened again, she'd probably just shoot all the protagonists in the books, and everyone could die together.

If the protagonists were meant to be together, they would be, with or without her help.

If they weren't meant to be, no amount of effort on her part could make it happen.

Even if she managed to get them together through sheer determination, there was always the possibility of breakups or divorces in the future.

If they broke up or divorced, would that count as a failed mission? Would she have to do it all over again?

By that logic, Shi Li would be stuck in an endless loop, revolving around Feng Yunhe and Liang Rongrong for multiple lifetimes.

Shi Li had come to terms with it. Whoever wants to do it can do it; she wasn't going to.

Besides, it wasn't just Liang Rongrong and Feng Yunhe who hadn't gotten together; Ji Chunsheng and his official pairing probably also fell apart.

Ji Chunsheng had been pestering Shi Ruan all this time, and Shi Ruan hadn't mentioned anything to Shi Li, as if accepting his advances.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

That was a messy situation.

However, there was no chance of Ji Chunsheng and his official pairing getting together.

Ji Chengmin had been unconscious and lying in the hospital all this time.

Last year, Ji Chengmin's wife had already started a relationship with Ji Chengmin's other brother.

Shi Ruan had told Shi Li about this, complaining, "This is what they call 'birds of a feather flock together.' People who like their brother's wife are all Ji Chengmin's good friends. Who asked him to be so blind in choosing his friends? He deserves it."

In her previous life, it was only Feng Yunhe and Liang Rongrong who hadn't gotten together, leading to Shi Li having to do it all over again. Shi Li had "tried her best" to play matchmaker between Feng Yunhe and Liang Rongrong, ultimately achieving the feat of both pairs of protagonists failing to get together.

If she had to do it all over again, Shi Li couldn't guarantee what would happen. Would she shoot the protagonists first, or would she ensure that all the protagonists had no chance of getting together?

Originally, the sky was clear and sunny, but suddenly it turned pitch black, as if it had become a moonless, starless night.

The students who were taking photos were startled, and the teachers immediately took charge, turning on their flashlights and leading the students back to the classroom building.

This level of weather change seemed likely to bring a heavy storm.

The teachers were puzzled; the weather forecast had shown a sunny day with no mention of rain.

This sudden change was eerie, and the teachers didn't dare to think too much about it, waving their hands to get the students back to the classroom building to avoid the rain.

However, the weather was as unpredictable as the teachers had feared.

After three minutes of darkness, the sunlight reappeared.

The teachers and students looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what the weather was trying to achieve with these sudden changes, but a sunny day was always better than rain.

The teachers checked the weather forecast for the next two days and confirmed that it didn't mention rain, so they waved their hands and told the students, "Alright, go take your photos!"

Song Ying pulled Shi Li to take a photo at the tennis court when they heard a scream, "Ahhhhhhh!"

Not just them, but all the students turned toward the source of the scream.

Song Ying pulled Shi Li's hand and whispered, "What happened?"

The person who screamed soon answered everyone's curiosity, "Ahhhhhhh! My brother woke up!"

Ji Feiyu wanted to shout, "I'll pay for everyone's expenses today."

She understood why this phrase often appeared in TV dramas; it was because there were times when you were so happy that the only way to express it was by spending money.

However, they weren't in a mall or a hotel, but at school, where there wasn't much to spend money on.

The biggest expense today would probably be the fireworks for the graduation ceremony, but that was covered by the school's budget, and she wasn't willing to be the sucker.

The young lady could only express her happiness through spending money, so she decided to do charity and donate to those in need.

The students knew that Ji Feiyu's brother had been in the hospital for over a year, and they had thought Ji Chengmin might remain in a vegetative state forever. Who would have thought he would wake up?

Everyone was happy for him, and seeing Ji Feiyu scream without restraint, they all understood and kept smiling kindly.

Shi Li was no exception, but then she felt her vision go dark.

Ji Feiyu had rushed to her, cupping her face and kissing her on both cheeks.

Not only was Shi Li stunned, but even the other students, who had been paying attention to Ji Feiyu, were shocked.

You can be excited, and we understand, but you can't just go around kissing people!

Even if it's not a member of the opposite sex, kissing a same-sex friend is still not okay.

"Shi Li, you're such a lucky star!" Ji Feiyu exclaimed.

Shi Li scratched her head in confusion: "Huh? I didn't do anything; how did I become a lucky star?"

Song Ying was the first to react. She grabbed Ji Feiyu's arm and said, "You're too improper; how can you just go around molesting people!"

Then Song Ying was also kissed on both cheeks.

Shi Li was still confused but couldn't help but laugh at Ji Feiyu kissing Song Ying again.

The surrounding classmates were also left speechless, wondering if she had gone mad with excitement or if she was just pretending to be crazy to act shamelessly.

Song Ying's face turned red instantly. "You... you're so shameless!"

Ji Feiyu giggled. "Well, why don't you kiss me back then?"

Shi Li took a step back, giving the two of them some space.

The other students on the playground didn't rush to take photos anymore. Instead, they watched the two with great interest.

The sun was bright, and a gentle breeze blew, shining on their youthful, collagen-filled faces.

They were at the perfect age, and their future held endless possibilities.
