<h4>Chapter 76: The Slides Changed</h4>


    In about three minutes time Ruan Qingqing was done and she ran back to join ss One. The principal was just finishing his speech.


    “Students, this is thest year of high school. It is also the hardest year. I would like to wish all Year Three students excellent results in next year’s university entrance exams, for you to take new strides, and to move toward your dreams!”


    There was thunderous apuse.


    Principal Fu looked solemn. “Now, students, please take your parents through the arch of sess to your respective sses to sign your promises.”


    Gu Yin nced at Ruan Qingqing. Looking down, she smiled.


    ...


    Lu Chengzhou watched the students holding their parents’ arms as they walked through the arch. His eyebrows were raised as he pointed it out to Gu Mang.


    The girl looked over. Her eyes seemed distant, expressionless. Again, she looked down as though she had seen nothing of interest. The zipper to her school uniform was open. She stuffed her hands in her pockets as shenguidly followed the group.


    Lu Chengzhou smiled, his pretty eyes narrowing, and without any restraint, he went and grabbed the girl’s hand. Gu Mang instantly frowned, staring at the hand that was grabbing hers. The man’s palm was very hot. It felt as though it were cooking her and an unusual feeling coursed through her body.


    “Guys should take the initiative,” Lu Chengzhou squeezed her hand, his head lowered slightly as he said into her ear in a deep voice.


    Gu Mang looked up.


    Their eyes met. There were traces of red in the girl’s eyes. A cool mist hovered over her ck, bright, and clear eyes. Lu Chengzhou’s heart throbbed a little. His ck eyes held a deep gaze as he stared at her face.


    The white school uniform entuated her beautiful neck under the light. Something in his body seemed to be going out of control.


    Moving his chin away from her slightly, his lips turned up in a wickedly charming smile. “d you’re not angry.”


    He was afraid that she might kick him like what had happened at Tian Que’s entrance that night. He broke his gaze and held her hand as they walked forward in the procession. Gu Mang was still looking at their sped hands, expressionless. But on a closer look, she appeared contemtive.


    Without much time to dwell on the matter, the two had already passed through the intable arch and walked up onto the stage.


    Lu Chengzhou took the pens from Lu Yang and gave one to Gu Mang. Seeing the two of them holding hands when he turned back to look, Lu Yang’s eyes widened in shock.


    Catching only a glimpse, Lu Shangjin seemed to understand the situation as he pulled Lu Yang, who was in a daze and had stopped walking, down the stage. The signing event was of such arge scale that in order to save time sses went in order to sign. Everyone had to write down their oaths.


    Gu Mang only gave an ugly signature without writing any oaths. She was thest one, so it was especially obvious. After putting down the pen, she stuffed her hands into her pockets, turned, and walked down.


    Xi Yan didn’t make anyments as she let her go. When all the sses had signed, they took their seats in an orderly manner.


    The emcee announced, “Next up, let us look back at Ming City High School’s history and the excellent students of previous Year Three batches. Teachers, parents, and students, please turn your attention to the big screen.”


    The screen showed the history of Ming City High School and its numerous des.


    Just then, the big screen shed white and the slides changed.
