Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Secret Joy Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Secret Joy “You knew about this already?” Shen Zhaozhao turned to look at Sheng Chuyi beside her.
No one had told her about such a big deal.
“I only knew that my mom and Aunt Shu Ran planned to hold a celebration for our academic advancement together,” he said, though he didn’t know Aunt Shu Ran hadn’t told her.
As for the photo, he had just found out about it as well.
Shen Zhaozhao stared at the photo for a while, then winked at Sheng Chuyi, saying, “I think it looks pretty good.”
Because of their relationship, it didn’t feel awkward looking at it now.
In fact, there was a secretly joyful feeling.
“Zhaozhao.” Just then, a voice called out.
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and saw Sang Youyou, Lu Xu, and Xu Siyan descending from the car.
“Zhaozhao, Chuyi, congratulations,” Sang Youyou said with a beaming smile, handing her gift to Shen Zhaozhao, “This is a gift we picked out together for you.”
“Thank you!” Shen Zhaozhao said with a smile as she accepted it.
Sang Youyou’s gaze then fell on the poster behind them, and she gave Shen Zhaozhao a meaningful wink, “Are you two…”
“Ahem, well, I’ll accompany you guys inside!” Shen Zhaozhao, feeling a tad uneasy, couldn’t help pulling the other’s hand to change the subject.
Happy as she was, it still felt somewhat embarrassing to be seen.
Going along with her pull, Sang Youyou leaned in close to whisper in her ear, “I think the two of you chose a great photo.” If the clothes had been more formal, it would have almost passed for a wedding picture.
Shen Zhaozhao’s cheeks grew faintly warm, and then she remembered she hadn’t yet told her about her relationship with Yiyi.
Well, there would be time to talk about it later.
Because Daddy Zhaozhao had said he wanted to throw a big celebration, he really invited all the relatives they could, plus guests from the Sheng Family side, resulting in over a hundred tables, filling the entire hotel.
Shen Zhaozhao had never known her family had so many relatives, some of whom she had never even met.
After the banquet officially began,
Qin Suxin handed out two gifts to her and Sheng Chuyi, saying, “Zhaozhao, these are the gifts Aunt Suxin prepared for you and Yiyi for your academic advancement.”
“Thank you, Aunt Suxin.”
Shen Zhaozhao opened them and found two laptops of the same model.
Ms. Shu Ran also prepared gifts for the pair, two identical smartphones.
It was as if the two mothers had coordinated beforehand.
All the college gear was instantly ready.
As for Sheng Yan Cheng and Shen Mo, they both gave generous red envelopes directly.
The academic advancement celebration concluded with both of them returning home laden with gifts.
After the celebration, the adults from both families were responsible for seeing off the guests, while Shen Zhaozhao slipped away with Sheng Chuyi in advance.
The two walked hand in hand down the street.
“How long will you stay this time?” Shen Zhaozhao asked.
Sheng Chuyi replied, “My parents will probably return to Huijing City by tomorrow at the latest.”
Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but stop walking and looked up at him, “What about you?”
Sheng Chuyi replied, “I can stay a couple more days.”
“That’s great,” Shen Zhaozhao said, unable to hide her happiness.
“By the way, have you made plans for the graduation trip you mentioned before? I’ve got good news for you. You really guessed it right – Ms. Shu Ran did give me a travel fund, and she was quite generous. We can really enjoy ourselves this time!”
Sheng Chuyi didn’t seem surprised at all and asked with a smile, “Do you fancy a self-driving tour to the Sichuan-Tibet Line?”
