Gu Xiqiao stood slowly, raising her own glass. “This is the result of your own hard work, what you all rightfully deserve!”

 The light reflecting off the transparent wine glasses that were raised shone with beautiful rainbow colors, all the expressions on everyone’s face was joyful, as a loud, joyous cheer sounded out, rocking the entire private box.

 After finishing their meal, a waiter came to remove the table and chairs, opening the wall at the center of the room to reveal a large LCD screen TV. The box instantly transformed into a large KTV area, and the class lead was calling for everyone to play the games offered, while some sang karaoke, chatted and it felt like they had returned to those beautiful carefree days of their final year.

 Gu Xiqiao sat on the sofa, her head in her hand as she watched them have fun, she was after all ‘elderly’, and she wasn’t so easily hyped up like these youngsters. The others around her just assumed that she had a little too much to drink, and didn’t force her to join in on their fun.

 “Why are you hiding here, come come come, sing a song! I want to hear how Beauty Gu’s voice sounds!” The girl sitting at the back table was a mic hog, but when she saw Gu Xiqiao sitting there without moving, she couldn’t help but shout out.

 With that one exclamation, everyone’s eyes fell on her. Once they heard that Gu Xiqiao was going to sing, they couldn’t help but feel some anticipation and eagerness rise.

 Gu Xiqiao raised her head to find that everyone had stopped their activities and was looking at her, so she silently got up without protest, heading towards the mic and choosing a song.

 The familiar music started playing, and everyone here recognized the melody of the song.

 Gu Xiqiao didn’t look at the lyrics, sitting casually on the stool with a lazy look in her eyes. Her long eyelashes and sparkling black eyes were mesmerizing, and a clear voice sounded out, “If the two words didn’t tremble, then I wouldn’t have known that it was unbearable…”

 Her voice was like a gentle stream flowing through, and sometimes it went lower to the baritone range, becoming clearer and clearer as the song went on, letting those who listened feel the mild and lingering caress in their ears.

 The song was already moving by itself, and her singing was also amazing, and the atmosphere of joy previously in the room was also falling from the emotions in the air.

 In their third year, they used to sleep and eat together, and even go to the washroom together.

 Especially in the final month, it was the most important and unforgettable time of their lives. They had stuck together, ran together, rebelled against the director together. They pulled each other along all the way, and those days were days that none of them would forget, even when they were too old to walk.

 Some of the girls couldn’t help the redness of their eyes, a few of them even hugging each other, promising to attend the same university in the same city.

 “Gu Xiqiao, you’re awesome, making our entire class cry.” Xiao Yun couldn’t help but say after she watched Gu Xiqiao put down the mic. Looking around at her classmates, she couldn’t help but feel slightly emotional.

 Gu Xiqiao was not expecting this to happen either. “…I really didn’t mean to. Um, why didn’t the class teacher come?”

 Xiao Yun took a piece of watermelon casually, her voice lazy as she replied, “He went off to the Imperial Capital once we finished our exams, but since tomorrow is the announcement, he should be back by then.”
