Tonight was destined to be a tearful evening.
Graduating from high school could not compare to graduating from middle school.
High school classmates were deeply entwined in each other’s lives, sharing meals, beds, and showers.
When such a group of life companions faced separation, it felt like saying goodbye to these three years of life, like losing a partner for meals and sleep, like a significant part of life was missing.
As the teacher appreciation banquet progressed, it got more tearful, filled with bittersweet smiles.
Class One and Class Seven students eventually gathered in a hall.
These two classes, which had hardly intersected during the three years of high school, were now mingling in the same hall, drinking and socializing with joy and laughter.
Beer was opened by the case, and glasses were cheerfully drained, dispelling melancholy, bidding farewell to the past, waving goodbye to youth, and welcoming maturity...
The future, the world after turning 18, was waiting for them.
Roaming around the banquet hall, Pu Sangzhi, the top student of the whole grade, was toasted by many classmates and asked for photos.
After giving their homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu flowers, Huo Feng also toasted the other teachers of their class, making a full round.
Each person, he drank at least 10 glasses of red wine!
Of course, this amount of alcohol was nothing for Huo Feng.
But it made Huo Mingshan, who was watching from the side, particularly worried, fearful he might end up throwing up...
Pu Sangzhi was also concerned.
So, after he crazily completed his round of toasts, she hurriedly brought over a bottle of Wanglaoji Herbal Tea and rushed to hand it to him.
Huo Feng, seeing Pu Sangzhi approaching, excitedly put his arm around her shoulder and even raised a newly poured glass of red wine to clink against her Wanglaoji Herbal Tea, "To my little fairy on her successful graduation! A tribute before a drink, cheers!"
As he spoke, he was about to tilt his head back and down the red wine.
Thankfully, Pu Sangzhi was quick to stop him and swiftly switched the wine in his hand for the Wanglaoji Herbal Tea, "You’ve had too much. Drink this from now on."
As she spoke, Pu Sangzhi instead lifted the glass of red wine in her hand and drained it in one go...
Huo Feng was stunned by her bold drinking move, "Wow, that’s strong!"
Pu Sangzhi put down the glass, took a deep breath, and touched her slightly warm face, smiling at him, "The one you toasted to me, I had to drink! You also drink, and finish it."
Huo Feng looked down at the Wanglaoji Herbal Tea in his hand, smiled helplessly, but still drank it in one gulp.
A camera shutter suddenly sounded by their ears.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng turned their heads together, their gazes falling on the class president Wu Beilei who was holding a DSLR camera and taking photos of them!
"Class president?" Pu Sangzhi was astonished.
Wu Beilei looked down at the photo on the camera, very pleased with the shot, nodding, "It’s our last evening, so I recorded the top two scholarly lovebirds of our grade. I’ll post the photos in the group chat tomorrow, you can download them!"
Pu Sangzhi was somewhat speechless.
But Huo Feng beside her raised his hand and said gratefully, "Thanks!"
Wu Beilei laughed, "I’ve wanted to take your picture for a while, you’re so handsome!"
Huo Feng unashamedly admitted, "Of course I am handsome, you have good taste!"
Wu Beilei, usually so decisive, blushed and bowed her head, laughing shyly at Huo Feng’s compliment.
Pu Sangzhi found the class president Wu Beilei’s reaction very amusing.
In fact, she knew that Huo Feng seemed perfect in the eyes of many classmates!
He was talented in singing and dancing, good at socializing, had a sunny personality, was handsome, and on top of that had good grades and a good background, and to top it off, he had eyes only for her, Pu Sangzhi...
Over these three years, Huo Feng had left a vibrant mark on Longxiang School.
Thanks to him, Pu Sangzhi also became a well-known figure in the eyes of Longxiang students, riding on the coattails of his high-profile actions.
High school life was exciting and passionate with him around!

At that moment, from the stage came the loud call of Pan Bo via the microphone.
The bustling scene surged from one act to another, showing no signs of stopping!
When Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng, and all the teachers and students in the hall turned their heads, they saw Pan Bo on stage, holding a microphone and saying to Huo Feng, "Feng Ge! We’re about to part ways! The guys and I have also prepared a surprise for you!"
These words were shouted out by Pan Bo, each one loud and clear.
His booming voice, amplified by the microphone, reached every corner of the hall.
At that moment, all the teachers and students in the hall, including Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, turned their attention to Pan Bo!
"Students, excuse the interruption, may I have just 5 minutes of everyone’s time, could we turn off the lights in the hall?" Pan Bo said so.
As his words fell, the waitstaff in the banquet hall quickly turned off all the lights!
