Chapter 176 I love you! I only love you! I will love you forever!
It was only while chatting with the staff that Lu Yuan suddenly realized what was going on.
Jiangcheng is, after all, just an ordinary small city with limited educational resources. Not many students can get into key universities each year, so each one deserves our attention.
In order to create an atmosphere that values education throughout society, the city has established an unwritten rule:
For every student who is admitted to a key university, their admission notice will be personally delivered to their door with great fanfare.
Furthermore, once all the admission notices have been issued, the city will hold a grand award ceremony for these outstanding students.
Not only will city leaders be present, but local businesspeople will also be attending.
Of course, rewards include cash prizes. Basically, most college students don't need to worry about tuition fees, and these business owners will give them sufficient bonuses.
In his previous life, Lu Yuan had performed poorly in the college entrance examination and had never witnessed such a scene. Moreover, he was filled with jealousy and resentment towards the top students and had no interest in inquiring about these things.
Now that he has been given a second chance at life, and after putting in the effort and reaping the rewards, he truly understands the weight behind this glory.
Lu Yuan casually asked, "Is Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics considered a key university?"
"Of course!" The staff member nodded confidently and smiled. "This year, four or five students from our city were admitted to Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics. If all goes well, their admission notices will be delivered this afternoon."
……
Sure enough, in the afternoon, accompanied by a lively drumbeat, another delivery team arrived at Lu's Garment Factory.
This time, they came to deliver Ye Yixian's college admission notice.
At that moment, Ye Yixian was still working diligently, sweating profusely, when he was startled by the sudden commotion.
It turns out that when Ye Yixian received the call from the staff asking for a detailed delivery address, he was completely confused, thinking that he had to go to the post office to pick up the notification letter himself.
She was stunned when she learned that she had also been successfully admitted to a top university.
The uncles and aunties in the garment factory were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths. Who would have thought that this girl, who usually worked quietly in the factory, was actually a high-achieving student who kept a low profile?
As Ye Yixian's closest people at the moment, Lu Yuan and his parents naturally wanted to be with her to celebrate this joy.
Ye Yixian is currently all alone, and with such a wonderful event suddenly falling from the sky, she can't be left without anyone to share her joy.
That would be too lonely and pitiful.
Like Lu Yuan, under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Yixian carefully opened the package and took out the exquisite admission notice.
Hearing the overwhelming praise and congratulations around her, she finally couldn't help but tear up.
She knew better than anyone else that the person she should be most grateful to was Lu Yuan.
It was Lu Yuan who pulled her back on track when she was most confused and helpless.
Without Lu Yuan, her fate might have been sealed long ago: to become a factory worker on an assembly line, never to attend university.
Both of them passed the exams on the same day, and Lu's parents were overjoyed. That evening, they prepared a sumptuous feast to celebrate with the whole family.
Ye Yixian couldn't wait to take a picture of the notice and send it to her older brother Ye Yizhu, who was working in the provincial capital.
Upon seeing the photo, Ye Yizhu jumped up excitedly and boasted to everyone he met that his sister had been admitted to a prestigious university.
His coworkers all gave him a thumbs up, praising his sister for being promising. They said that once she graduates and finds a good job, he, as her older brother, will be able to enjoy the good life.
Ye Yizhu didn't think that far ahead; he only knew that his younger sister was more successful than him, and that was enough for him.
……
The high school class group chat has been unusually lively lately.
Class teacher Wang Zhishu shared the good news with everyone in the group chat. Although Lu Yuan didn't post much, as he was quite busy and didn't have time to find out where everyone was going, his private messages were filled with congratulations from his classmates.
Gao Zhe and Wang Qingyu were admitted to a second-tier university. Although their treatment wasn't as extravagant, it still made their neighbors envious.
The day after Gao Zhe received his admission notice, he couldn't wait to drag his father to pick up a car.
I'll get my driver's license eventually, but I have to buy a car first.
After receiving the admission notice, each family began to make preparations for the graduation banquet.
Since most of their classmates had been admitted to universities, it was common for them to attend banquets together. Sensible parents would always ask their children's opinions first.
Gao Zhe was so eager to get started that everyone decided to go and support him.
Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian's graduation banquets will be held together.
Ye Yixian initially felt there was no need for a grand celebration, but Lu's parents insisted on throwing her a lavish banquet so she could invite friends without feeling any pressure.
However, Ye Yixian had a very narrow social circle, and the only people she could invite were Wang Qingyu and a few elderly neighbors who had taken care of her.
Actually, more than announcing it to the world, what Ye Yixian wanted to do most at that moment was to visit her father, Ye Xinnian, who was serving time in prison, and tell him in person that his daughter was doing well and had a bright future.
So, Lu Yuan accompanied her to the prison on the outskirts of the city.
As before, Lu Yuan, being a non-relative, had no right to visit and could only wait in the rest area.
To be honest, Lu Yuan was very curious about his future father-in-law. Unfortunately, Ye Yixian didn't even have a photo of his father. He could only wait until Ye Xinnian was released from prison to see his face.
Ye Yixian brought the original admission notice with him.
Perhaps my father didn't understand the prestige of Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics, but as long as I told him that it was a key university, a school that even the city government personally delivered admission notices to his door, he would definitely understand.
The visit ended half an hour later.
Ye Yixian walked out again with red eyes, buried her head in Lu Yuan's arms, and cried for a long time.
Those were tears of joy. She did not give up on herself. This report card became the greatest source of courage for her father to face the future while he was in prison.
To soothe Ye Yixian's emotions and to celebrate this hard-won new life, Lu Yuan specially took her to the amusement park.
When she experienced those amusement park rides that she had only seen on TV, aside from the initial nervousness, all that followed was pure excitement.
This is a day to remember, a day when she fell even more deeply in love with Lu Yuan.
As evening fell, the two had a great time and sat side by side on a flowerbed by the roadside, eating ice cream.
Ye Yixian's eyes were still slightly swollen, but she had stopped crying.
The future is full of hope, she's overjoyed, so why would she cry?
"Lu Yuan, thank you." Ye Yixian turned to look at him. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, gilding it with a warm golden light, making her features appear exceptionally soft and defined.
"What are you thanking me for?" Lu Yuan looked at her with a smile.
"Thank you... for helping me, for liking me... and for loving me." Ye Yixian's cheeks were slightly flushed, but her tone was extremely serious.
"And what about you? Do you love me too?" Lu Yuan asked knowingly.
"..." Ye Yixian did not answer immediately, but looked at him with affection.
Suddenly, she kissed Lu Yuan's lips, giving him a deep and passionate kiss.
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to express her feelings in such a direct way.
After the deep kiss, Ye Yixian smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling: "Of course I love you! I only love you! I'll love you forever!"
Lu Yuan's heart was filled with happiness, and he felt that the world was becoming more and more unreal.
I'm afraid this is just a beautiful, unreal dream.
On his way home, Lu Yuan received a message from Xia Anqi.
I added Xia Anqi as a friend while learning to drive, but we didn't chat for the first time.
Lu Yuan opened it and his eyes lit up.
Xia Anqi: Come to my college entrance celebration banquet, together with Ye Yixian.
