first love

I have seen several graduation ceremonies, and I have also helped sell weird balloons, but this time, it is time for Wen Lan and Xie Nanqun to play the leading role.In June, Lagerstroemia indica blooms extremely lushly, crowding and pushing, wishing to hang down on the heads of those graduates wearing academic uniforms and academic caps. Occasionally, a few flowers really fell off, and the bones smashed into people's hands , leaving a very light taste.

Wen Lan was holding a few bouquets of flowers in his arms. The small baby's breath was picked by Alu and a few officers, the bright sunflowers were Yue Qiu's favorite style, and the gorgeous roses were bought by himself and Xie Nanqun. "Here, return this." Xie Nanqun brought a lollipop-shaped balloon from an unknown junior and junior sister, which was colorful.

"Thank you, Brother Qun." Wen Lan stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

As a best friend, Yue Qiu also prepared another gift—she had collected the crape myrtle flowers beside the library very early on, picked out the most beautiful ones, and asked people to make dried flower bookmarks and put them in a book of poems.She knew that Wen Lan liked these things: "Happy graduation!"

Wen Lan couldn't help laughing: "You too."

Yue Qiu made a grimace: "Let's have fun together." The crabapple flower bracelet on her wrist swayed with the movement, and shimmered slightly in the sun.

At this moment, Xie Nanqun suddenly saw something, showed a bright smile, turned his head and whispered to Wen Lan, "Parents are here."

As parents, naturally they would not miss their son's graduation ceremony, not to mention having a loving daughter-in-law.Mama Xie was dressed up, ignoring the high summer temperature in the south, and came over with an umbrella.Wearing a red dress, she was more eye-catching than the surrounding flowers for a while. Many graduates cast their eyes curiously, thinking it was someone's sister.

And Xie's father is also wearing a suit, with a serious expression. If he hadn't held the umbrella handle and followed Xie's mother closely, he might have appeared more majestic.

Xie Nanqun went up to meet him, and was immediately hugged by Xie's mother: "Oh, my son is so handsome!"

She looked at Wen Lan again, her eyes full of admiration: "A Lan wears this really well..."

Xie's father echoed in a light tone: "Yeah."

"Dad, don't be so stern." Xie Nanqun complained about him, "Be happy."

Hearing this, the corners of Xie's father's mouth twitched a few times, and then he smiled.

Xie's mother rolled her eyes, fortunately she was wearing sunglasses, no one else saw her: "Are you guys going to start taking pictures? I invited someone over to record the whole process, and I can take a family portrait later." She turned sideways, Revealing a team of fully equipped photographers behind.

Xie Beijun who was ignored: "It's so hot here."

The students on the sidelines were amazed.

Yue Qiu secretly tugged on Wen Lan's sleeve, and motioned him to turn around: "Can you ask your mother-in-law...'s photographer to take commemorative photos for our class? It feels super professional!" After all, it is a one-time ceremony, except The graduation photo shooting arranged by the school, the graduates will also gather in private to take a group photo as a souvenir.

Wen Lan blushed and coughed several times: "Okay, okay."

"Good job!"

A group of people quarreled for a long time, and finally took all kinds of photos of the class, club, and friends. To express my gratitude, Yue Qiu, the sweet-mouthed one, came to Xie's mother's side and said, "My sister is so beautiful." , the right sentence "Sister looks super temperament", coaxing people from ear to ear.Xie Nanqun took a few glances and said, "Sure enough, Xie Beijun and I were picked up, and they are very much despised."

Wen Lan was amused and laughed.

Xie Beijun at the side gave his younger brother a hard look.

Gradually, there were fewer people in the square, and then Mama Xie came over: "Young people are really full of energy... Well, it's our family's turn to take pictures, and I want to hold Ah Lan." Both Xie Nanqun and Xie Nanqun showed disapproval expressions. The former tried to persuade the younger generation with the reason of "let the juniors stand together", but the latter took Wen Lan's hand neatly.

Thanks mom: "..."

Xie Beijun: "Forget it, I'll stand in the middle, and you will be on one side."

After working for a long time, the two elders of the Xie family felt tired. Xie Beijun didn't like places that were too lively, so he took them back to a nearby hotel to rest.As for Wen Lan and Xie Nanqun going to the evening dance, even though they rejected the opening dance, they still had to attend to feel the atmosphere.It was just not as easy as expected. Many girls who had liked one or both of them were unwilling to leave regrets, and came over to ask if they could dance with them.Some boys also booed, and the scene was very chaotic.

Fortunately, Yue Qiu and a few classmates were loyal enough to let them slip through the back door.The moonlight outside was very bright, and on the surface of the lake, there was a large area of ​​sparkling silver.The sound of music floated indistinctly from the auditorium, and together with the summer wind, rippling on the shore of the lake.The two walked side by side on the path, with the shadows of the trees dancing on both sides, Wen Lan couldn't help but look up, only to find that the tiny moonlight slipped in from between the branches and fell on Xie Nanqun's chiseled face.

"What's wrong?" the other party asked.

Wen Lan shook his head.He only felt that everything was beautiful at this time - he sneaked out from the ball, met the quiet lake water and the moonlight, and there were a few black swans who came out of the shadows at some unknown time, and were playing with each other intimately.

Not far away, suddenly a soft light came on, in the small garden on the other side of the lake.This is a place nicknamed "Lover's Garden" by the students. Every night, some couples like to hang out by the lake, and they will definitely pass by here.Wen Lan thought someone else was dating, and said to Xie Nanqun: "Maybe he is also a businessman, who slipped away like us."

Xie Nanqun didn't answer, and led him over with a gesture that could not be refused.After approaching, several figures walking in the garden suddenly became clear: Xie's father still had a serious face, Xie's mother waved happily to the two, and Xie Beijun was leaning against the railing, holding a bouquet of bright roses: " How was the dance?"

"Very good." Wen Lan smiled.

Mother Xie replied meaningfully: "Tonight is a good time."

On the other side, Xie Beijun chuckled, stuffed the rose into Xie Nanqun's arms, and whispered to him, "Come on."

As soon as the words fell, music slowly sounded all around, and the two women looked at each other with ambiguous smiles.Seeing this, Wen Lan became even more puzzled: "Why—" He turned his head, only to find that Xie Nanqun, who was standing beside him just now, knelt on one knee, took out a velvet box from the roses, opened the cover, and inside was Simple yet beautiful ring.

Wen Lan suddenly understood, and was at a loss for what to do, and the circles of his eyes gradually turned red: "Brother Qun?"

"I asked someone to design the ring, and it has your and my name on it." Xie Nanqun's brows and eyes were full of excitement, but also slightly nervous, his hands were slightly stiff, "although it was a bit sudden, but... forever with me Together, okay?" He started planning this marriage proposal early on, on the last day of their college career, in this memorable high school where they met for the first time.

Xie Beijun, who was standing not far away, quietly gestured to the photographers hidden deep in the garden, telling them to make sure to capture the process perfectly.

Wen Lan's palm was wet with sweat.He didn't think for too long, took a deep breath, then smiled and stretched out his left hand: "I am willing."

Xie Nanqun looked at him. For a moment, he seemed to be dazzled by the excessive surprise. After a while, he came back to his senses, and put on the ring for Wen Lan with a solemn and solemn expression.And Wen Lan also picked up another ring, looked at it for a moment, helped the other party put it on, and then raised his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed unconsciously.

Witnessing this scene, Mama Xie covered her mouth and leaned in Papa Xie's arms, so moved that she couldn't restrain her trembling.

Xie Beijun also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two hugging each other, and muttered, "Someone has to clean up..." She reached out to poke the small lamp hanging on the tree, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards in a different way.
