Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 377 Graduation Photos and Graduation Ceremony
It is June now, which is the real graduation season.
"Yiyi, are we taking graduation photos tomorrow?"
By the nameless lake, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi held hands and stopped to look at the picture of the tower lake in front of them.
This scene is well known and envied by many Yan University students.
What many people can’t understand is, is the love of a top student just about hanging out in the library?
Or is it just a simple matter of holding hands and watching the beautiful scenery together?
Because in their eyes, or as far as they know, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi are both study maniacs, and they don't have much time to date alone.
But why envy?
Because I eat too much dog food, I really can't help but envy...
Moreover, this kind of plain and real relationship, where partners supervise and understand each other, is indeed worthy of envy.
"Yeah, it looks like we should take a photo together?"
Yang Yiyi said with a little anticipation.
Chen Zhou turned slightly and looked at Yang Yiyi: "Then we should take a set of graduation photos."
Yang Yiyi asked curiously, "How do you shoot it?"
Chen Zhou said mysteriously: "You will know tomorrow."
The next day, Chen Zhou arrived early and waited for Yang Yiyi downstairs of her dormitory.
Graduation photos are precious memories that every student can keep.
Therefore, Chen Zhou planned to have a comprehensive graduation photo shoot.
The photography teacher was hired by the school. When he heard that the photo was specially taken for Chen Zhou, he was very happy.
However, after the entire photo shoot, the photography teacher thought, are you taking graduation photos?
Why do I feel like you are taking wedding photos?
It turned out that Chen Zhou intended to record every place where the two of them had left their footprints.
The photography teacher was taken by Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi to tour around Yanda University again and again.
Whenever Chen Zhou had a new idea, he would pull Yang Yiyi towards the destination.
The photography teacher could only follow helplessly.
In the classroom, study room, library, nameless lake, cafeteria...
Chen Zhou preserved all the places in the photos.
Of course, simply taking photos cannot reflect Chen Zhou’s thoughts.
Chen Zhou tried hard to recall every place and every detail of his time with Yang Yiyi.
In front of the dormitory building, the moment of delivering the computer...
UPC competition, staying up late in front of the computer...
In the library, the state of immersion in learning...
All the moments were captured in the camera.
Yang Yiyi's previous expectations were slightly satisfied with Chen Zhou's actions.
Until Chen Zhou dragged the photographer and waited until night fell.
Chen Zhou took Yang Yiyi to the school gate.
Here, Chen Zhou had already asked Zhao Qiqi and others to help purchase props.
He wants to simulate a scene.
That snowy night.
When Yang Yiyi saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment.
She already understood what Chen Zhou wanted to do.
White "snowflakes" fell from the sky.
Just like the scene when I returned from the cinema that night.
Chen Zhou took out a prepared "snowball" and threw it at Yang Yiyi.
"Come on, come and catch me!"
Chen Zhou's voice awakened Yang Yiyi who was in a trance.
Li Jing, who was standing by, quietly handed over a few "snowballs" and urged Yang Yiyi: "Yiyi, chase him!"
Yang Yiyi suddenly laughed, holding the "snowball", and chased after Chen Zhou.
This scene naturally attracted passers-by and students.
Everyone looked here with curiosity, not knowing what had happened.
Chen Zhou threw away the last "snowball" in his hand, and collided head-on with the "snowball" thrown by Yang Yiyi, and stopped running away .
Yang Yiyi's steps paused, but she was already pulled into Chen Zhou's arms.
"Yiyi."
"happy."
Their eyes met, affection flowing.
The photography teacher, who had been keeping the secret, was also stunned at this moment. Is this really the rhythm of taking wedding photos?
But Zhao Qiqi, who was on the first post, quietly poked him: "Photographer, don't be distracted, hurry up and take the photo!"
"Oh, okay!" The photography teacher came back to his senses, sighing in his heart while pressing the shutter button quickly.
Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, the onlookers finally understood what was happening.
Fellow students from Yanjing University exclaimed that this dog food was so delicious!
The rest of the passers-by, the older ones, were impressed by how good it is to be young.
At this time, Yang Yiyi's face had turned as red as an apple.
Firstly, it was because of surprise. She didn't expect Chen Zhou to do such a thing.
Second, there are so many people here, how embarrassing~
Although Chen Zhou felt a little embarrassed, he didn't care about being embarrassed since he could leave behind such precious memories.
This graduation photo-taking event once again left a good story in Yanjing University for Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi.
After taking the graduation photos, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi only had one last thing to do at Yanjing University.
That is, the graduation ceremony on June 18th.
Yanda’s graduation ceremony is grand enough.
And due to some special reasons, many leaders will attend this graduation ceremony.
Many YNU alumni and parents of graduates will also be present.
As an outstanding graduate, Chen Zhou's parents naturally came as well.
Yang Yiyi's mother also came.
When Chen Zhou heard Yang Yiyi say that her mother was also coming, he suddenly became nervous.
She couldn't help but wonder, have I taken good care of her daughter?
But what Chen Zhou didn't know was that Yang Yiyi was even more nervous than he was.
With the campus filled with the graduation atmosphere, the graduation ceremony arrived as scheduled.
On June 18, the atmosphere on the campus of Yenching University was unusually warm.
The warm-up program included the song "About Youth" and the poem recitation "Eternal Campus".
It echoed again in the ceremony venue on the YNU campus, evoking indelible memories of YNU alumni.
The song "Fly with Confidence" sends deep blessings to the graduates.
A graduation commemorative film kicked off the ceremony.
In the film, the graduates recalled scenes on campus and expressed their gratitude and reluctance to part with their alma mater.
Of course, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi are special graduates who skipped a grade.
Chen Zhou, in particular, is an outstanding graduate of both the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics.
As soon as the picture of the two of them appeared, it caused a commotion and warm applause in the venue.
In addition, the Qiu Sai scenes and MIT lecture scenes that were specially added to the commemorative film further highlight Chen Zhou’s uniqueness.
Then came the speech by Principal Qiu, in which he extended his warmest congratulations to the students on their successful completion of their studies and graduation!
This was followed by a speech by a graduate representative.
This was supposed to be a job for the senior students, but it fell on Chen Zhou's head.
Moreover, as early as half a month ago, Chen Zhou received a notice from President Sun informing him of this matter.
Chen Zhou stood up and walked towards the stage without any speech in his hand.
For him, he himself is the best speech.
Moreover, Chen Zhou had already determined the topic of the speech.
Although Yenching University does not have a clear school motto, during the period of the United Nations University, when the education department required the formulation of a school motto and school song, Yenching University, Shuimu University and Kaida University also wrote an eight-character school motto.
Although it was not retained as the school motto like Shuimu's "Self-improvement and Virtue".
Although these eight characters were not officially used at that time or afterwards.
It has neither been engraved on buildings such as school gates and auditoriums, nor printed in school magazines or books.
Even among the tens of thousands of Yan University teachers and students, almost no one knows the existence of this school motto.
However, these eight characters are indeed worthy of being the motto of Yan University.
【Elaborate, inquiring, thoughtful, discerning】
This eight-character school motto from the 19th chapter of "The Doctrine of the Mean" is the theme of Chen Zhou's speech.
