Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1233 This time, I can't just laugh and say "See you next semester" anymore.

The same words represented hope four years ago, but now they represent separation. Life is so magical.

The same words, even spoken by the same person in the same place, can convey completely different meanings simply because of the different times.

After a quick tidy-up, the five of them went downstairs and strolled around the school, visiting the playground, cafeteria, social media building, artificial lake, garden, pavilion, library, and fountain.

They then realized that they had never explored the school so thoroughly during their four years of university, and that they were taking a complete tour on their last day.

In some places, it was their first time visiting in four years. The excitement they had four years ago was completely gone, leaving only a faint sense of reluctance.

They could even become so engrossed in watching the younger students coming and going that it was as if they were looking at their younger selves.

It was 10:30 in a flash, and everyone arrived in front of the school's main teaching building. There was a long flight of stairs there, where graduation photos were taken every year.

"Lin Mo, Director Wang, this way, come and get your graduation gowns."

At this moment, the squad leader saw them and quickly waved.

"Go ahead, I'll just watch from the side!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile, releasing Lin Mo's arm.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement and walked towards his class's gathering place.

"Oh my gosh~~"

As soon as Lin Mo arrived, the whole class booed, clearly because they saw that he had brought his girlfriend, especially since she was a beautiful woman.

Whether it was his classmates or his advisor Jiang Tao, they all looked at him with a maternal smile.

Lin Mo blushed deeply and hurriedly ran to the back to choose an academic gown.

Although they are just ordinary students from a second-tier university, they still have the necessary sense of ceremony. Even if their academic qualifications are not high, they can still wear these graduation gowns. Of course, it is obvious that they are second-hand. It is impossible to give each of them a new one. Even if they are second-hand, they have to return them to other classes after they are used up!

"Hey, Chuanzi, you've been a bit quiet today. What's wrong? Something on your mind?"

While choosing his graduation gown, Lin Mo spoke to the Sichuan girl beside him.

Today, as soon as he and Liu Ruyan arrived at the dormitory, he noticed that Chuanmei was acting strangely. Although he tried his best to hide it and pretended to be nonchalant, he seemed preoccupied and even more depressed than Lao Zhao.

This is quite different from Chuanmei's usual persona. She's usually the most abstract one, and even when the group was strolling around the school earlier, Chuanmei seemed distracted.

Now that he had a moment to spare, he spoke up and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Chuanmei looked up at him, then glanced at Lao Zhao, who had changed into his graduation gown and was standing in his place. Finally, she sighed and said, "Let's take the graduation photos first. We'll talk about it after that. Be prepared, it's going to be tough!"

After saying that, the Sichuan girl changed into her graduation gown and turned to leave. Lin Mo looked puzzled and then asked Director Wang, who was standing to the side, "What's wrong with him?"

Director Wang: ? ? ?

"I don't know? Okay, stop thinking about it. Hurry up, help me out, how do you put this on?!"

Lin Mo:

He didn't bother asking any more questions. Given Wang Chu's intelligence, there was no reason why he wouldn't know what Wang Chu knew.

Soon, the two returned to the group, found a place to stand, and before long, all the students in the class had arrived. The more than forty students in the class lined up neatly and began filming.

Nothing new, just the same routine photo shoot every year: the whole class takes one photo, then the entire major, all three classes, take one photo together, and then they throw their graduation caps.

The rest of the time was up to them to do. The whole class immediately split into smaller groups based on their dormitories and started taking photos.

In every corner of the school—the artificial lake, flower beds, in front of the fountain, and on the playground—Liu Ruyan became a photographer, taking pictures of the group.

Of course, after the class monitor and He Xiaoyue took photos with their roommates, they also joined their roommates to commemorate the moment together.

Even Liu Ruyan joined in, not only taking photos with Lin Mo but also taking pictures with them. In the end, Miss Yuan also rushed over and even snatched Lin Mo's graduation gown and put it on herself.

Finally, Liu Ruyan smiled at everyone and said, "Happy graduation, little brother! Happy graduation everyone!"

While speaking, she also presented each of them with a bouquet of flowers, which she had just ordered and delivered.

Upon seeing this, Miss Yuan nearly ground her back teeth to powder. She gritted her teeth and said, "Scheming woman, ptooey! Sister Yuan, I wish you all a happy graduation. Don't leave anytime soon, Sister Yuan is treating. Let's go have a good meal!"

After saying that, he glared at Liu Ruyan provocatively, but Liu Ruyan didn't care at all.

Just then, when the photos were almost taken, Chuanmei suddenly spoke up: "Sister Yuan, why don't you take the class monitor and the others back to the studio first? We'll go out for a walk, go back to the dorm to see our classmates, and chat!"

Upon hearing this, the others were all taken aback. Lin Mo frowned slightly, then nodded to Liu Ruyan.

"Alright, we'll head back now. See you later!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Class monitor: "Xiaoyue and I are going to return the graduation gowns, you guys go ahead!" Both of them noticed something was wrong, but He Xiaoyue and Miss Yuan looked completely bewildered.

"Hey, hurry up, we're waiting for you to eat!" Miss Yuan shouted as Liu Ruyan pulled her along.

After the others left, the four roommates looked at each other, said nothing, and went straight back to their dorm.

When I arrived at the dormitory building, I found that many students had already left with their luggage.

Some were seen off by others, while others left alone in silence.

Just then, a classmate from the dormitory opposite them came downstairs carrying a gray suitcase and a backpack.

"Peng Zhimin, you're leaving already?" Lin Mo asked.

Peng Zhimin, not very tall, from Shanxi, loves playing video games. He looks like an honest and unassuming person, but he's not ordinary either. He came downstairs wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and gray pants.

"Okay, I'm off!" Peng Zhimin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang couldn't help but ask, "Where are the others in your dorm? Didn't they see you off?"

"I didn't allow it. It would be too sad to see everyone off one by one. Our dorm had already agreed that no one was allowed to see anyone off. I said goodbye to everyone in the dorm."

"I'm leaving now. Take care, and keep in touch!" Peng Zhimin said, hugging each of them in turn.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Bon Voyage"

Keep in touch!

"Slow down, goodbye!"

The four waved goodbye and watched their classmate leave. Peng Zhimin walked about twenty or thirty meters before turning back to look at them, waving, and then fading from their sight.

The Sichuan girl took a deep breath and sighed, "That kid, he really left us early!"

Old Zhao: "Yeah, this time we can't just laugh and say 'See you next semester' anymore!"

Before they even entered the dormitory, they had already seen off one of their classmates, and all four of them remained silent.

The four of them then went upstairs and returned to their dormitory. Chuanmei closed and locked the dormitory door.

"Sit down, everyone. Director Wang will offer cigarettes, one for each of you!" the Sichuan girl said as soon as she came in.

Although Wang Chu didn't understand, he still offered cigarettes and lit them for each of them.

"What's wrong, Chuanzi?" Director Wang asked, puzzled.

Lin Mo looked at Chuan Mei. Although he didn't understand, he knew Chuan Mei and wouldn't do something meaningless.

Ignoring Director Wang, Chuanmei sat on a chair under her bed, took a drag of her cigarette, and said casually, "Old Zhao, when is the train?"

"3:30 this afternoon!" Old Zhao said.

Sichuan girl: "I'm quitting!"

"It's not like we're brothers, there's really nothing I can do, I have to work," Old Zhao tried to say that he had no choice either.

Sichuan Girl: "I'll pay you a salary. These days, Director Wang and his colleagues make 40,000 to 50,000 a month. I don't believe your job pays as much as mine!"

"No. I discussed it with my partner, and she said she wants to."

Before Lao Zhao could finish speaking, Chuanzi stood up abruptly, pointed at Lao Zhao, and shouted angrily, "How long are you going to keep pretending? We're the best of buddies in the dorm, and you're pulling this act with us?"

The sudden outburst from Chuanmei startled everyone. Director Wang thought that Chuanmei and Lao Zhao had a conflict, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Don't get angry, let's talk it out, let's talk it out!"

"Director Wang, let Chuanzi speak!" Lin Mo said.

Facing his gaze, Chuanmei glanced at Old Zhao, who remained silent, and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law...is gone!"
