The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Although Gu Senxiang issued a letter of understanding, it is a fact that Yi Yao and Tang Xiaomi hired someone to commit assault. In addition, the thugs that Tang Xiaomi hired had other illegal activities, so the police ultimately filed a public prosecution.

However, because of the letter of understanding, the court considered that Yi Yao and Tang Xiaomi are still high school students, have shown remorse, and are not at risk of recidivism, so they were given a lighter sentence of one year imprisonment with a two-year suspended sentence.

The real idea was to let Yi Yao and Tang Xiaomi finish their high school studies first, and then see how they perform over the next two years before deciding whether or not to carry out the original sentences.

However, Tang Xiaomi and Yi Yao could no longer return to Heping High School. After all, their classmates would look at them with strange eyes whenever they returned to school, so they had no choice but to transfer schools.

Yi Yao's mother couldn't afford to transfer her daughter to another school, so it was Yi Yao's father who, after learning about his daughter's recent situation, had no choice but to pay for the transfer. This angered his wife, leading to a big argument.

Compared to Yi Yao, Tang Xiaomi had far fewer options. Having just transferred from No. 1 High School to Heping High School, she naturally couldn't go back to No. 1 High School, so she had no choice but to attend a high school in the suburbs of Shanghai.

On his way to school that morning, Zhao Shucheng ran into Yi Yao, who was about to leave.

Yi Yao looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Qi Ming, I really didn't mean to, I..."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Yi Yao, everyone has to be responsible for their own actions and face their own heart. You need to figure out your true thoughts yourself. I just want this to be the last time, and the only time you've ever made a mistake."

"Qi Ming, you also think I'm a bad girl, right?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "What I think is not important; what you think is the most important. Gu Senxiang and I were originally just classmates. We didn't consider dating before the college entrance examination. But why are you targeting Gu Senxiang? Is it just because he got a little closer to me?"

"I'm not, I..."

"I don't care what you think, but your thinking is dangerous. After all, we're just childhood friends, and you're already interfering with the people around me. Do you think I can only have you as a girl? What if I date in college? Will you still interfere? Or if other girls appear in my life, will you see them as a threat and target them?"

Zhao Shucheng sighed and looked at Yi Yao, saying, "Yi Yao, you don't understand what love is yet. Love is not about possession, but about respecting the other person and giving them space. It's about giving, about tolerance, and about controlling your emotions because of love, not letting negative energy affect the other person."

"Although we're no longer in the same school, I still hope you can focus on your studies and use this time to think carefully about your feelings for me—whether it's love or possessiveness. I hope that when we meet again on campus, you'll have figured everything out and become a better version of yourself, instead of someone I wouldn't recognize."

As Yi Yao watched Zhao Shucheng's departing figure, she felt as if she and Qi Ming were growing further and further apart. Why had things come to this?

She called Gu Senxi after the verdict was announced, but Gu Senxi told Yi Yao directly not to contact him again.

Gu Senxiang simply couldn't accept that the girl he liked had hired someone to bully his older sister, and that the girl almost succeeded. This made him ashamed to face his sister, and his parents also blamed him for making the wrong friends.

Although Gu Senxiang didn't blame him, every time he saw his sister, he would think of what happened that day. If Zhao Shucheng hadn't been with his sister, who knows what would have happened.

So ever since that day, Gu Senxi has spent all his time with Gu Senxiang except when he's in class, never letting his sister out of his sight.

Not long after, the alleyway where Zhao Shucheng lived was slated for demolition. Yi Yao's mother, Lin Huafeng, immediately signed the demolition agreement, took the compensation money, and moved away with Yi Yao. Before leaving, Lin Huafeng took the initiative to find Li Wanxin for the first time and repaid the medical expenses that Zhao Shucheng had previously lent to Yi Yao.

Li Wanxin didn't know how to face Lin Huafeng. After all, although she looked down on Lin Huafeng's job and thought he was disreputable, they had been neighbors for many years. Moreover, Lin Huafeng's daughter had almost gone to jail because her son called the police, and was currently on probation.

After that, Zhao Shucheng almost never saw Yi Yao again. It is said that Lin Huafeng moved to the vicinity of Yi Yao's current high school and opened a flower shop, no longer doing massage business.

In fact, the neighbors all knew that the reason why Yi Yao's mother chose to move away so quickly was that she did not want Yi Yao to continue to be the subject of people's talk, and she also hoped that a change of environment could help her daughter get rid of the shadow of the past.

Zhao Shucheng and his family also chose to move out, but fortunately, their parents both had stable jobs, so moving to a different place wasn't inconvenient.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Shucheng and his classmates have finished their college entrance examinations.

Having experienced high school education in many different countries, Zhao Shucheng felt no tension about the college entrance examination. His knowledge also allowed him to handle the exam with ease, and he believed that he would achieve excellent results.

After Gu Senxiang finished her exam, she estimated her score with Gu Senxi at home and then called Zhao Shucheng.

"Qi Ming, have you estimated your score yet?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "No need to estimate your score, I can guess the approximate score. Anyway, you can easily get into any university in Shanghai. What about you?"

"Me too, but which university are you planning to go to? Let's apply to the same one!"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Okay. Let's meet and see which university to attend, and then decide what majors to choose."

"Can't we choose the same major?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Theoretically it's possible, but I think we can study together in high school. However, when it comes to university, you should choose according to your own interests. After all, your major is related to your future job, which is a major event that affects your whole life. You should choose a major that you like or find easy to accept, so that you can like your future job and won't regret your initial choice."

"Okay then. By the way, my younger brother would like to come along too, is that okay?"

"Of course you can. I'm a little worried if you come alone. After all, those thugs should be out by now, and I'm really worried they'll keep bothering you. You won't be able to handle it alone."

Hearing Zhao Shucheng say this, Gu Senxiang almost didn't react. Only then did she remember the time when she and Zhao Shucheng were in danger. She didn't expect those people to be released so quickly.

"Qi Ming, do you have any news about Yi Yao and Tang Xiaomi?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "No, we've rarely heard from them since they transferred schools. Especially after our alley was relocated, Yi Yao and we completely lost contact."

Gu Senxiang said with some regret, "Oh, I see. I wonder what will happen to them in the future. Their probation should be over soon, right?"

"Let's not talk about that now. Let's meet at a coffee shop and discuss the college application process together. By the way, how are your brother's grades?" Gu Senxiang sighed and said, "How are they? I don't even know if he'll be able to get into a second-tier university."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If your parents are willing, they can consider letting him study in another city. The score will be lower, but it will be farther from home."

"Let's talk about it then!"

After Zhao Shucheng met Gu Senxiang, Gu Senxiang immediately put her arm around Zhao Shucheng's arm and said, "Qi Ming, now that the college entrance exam is over, you said before that you would only consider relationships after the exam. Can you give me an answer now?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Gu Senxiang and said with a smile, "Of course, I actually thought you were very beautiful when we were in school. It would be a great honor to have you as my girlfriend."

Gu Senxiang said somewhat angrily, "Is it just about saving face?"

"Of course not, that was just my first impression. As we spent more time together, I also fell in love with you, but I chose to suppress my feelings so as not to affect our studies. I waited until after the college entrance exam. Now, Gu Senxiang, will you be my girlfriend?"

When Gu Senxiang saw Zhao Shucheng take out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, she looked at him curiously, wondering how he had produced them. She had just seen Zhao Shucheng enter the coffee shop without any flowers.

"I promise!"

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Gu Senxi wasn't surprised that they had gotten together. If Zhao Shucheng hadn't insisted on waiting until after the college entrance exam, they probably would have been together long ago, and their parents would have been happy about it.

After all, Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang are different from other students. Parents don't have to worry about their children's grades being affected by early romantic relationships. Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang are consistently among the top ten in the school's exams, so their parents don't need to worry about their children's grades at all.

Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang looked at information about universities in Shanghai together and finally chose Fudan University. Although they were not in the same department, they were in the same major on the same campus.

After returning home, Gu Senxiang told her parents about the results of her discussion with Zhao Shucheng.

After hearing this, Gu's parents understood why their daughter had made this choice and knew her future goals. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, their daughter was an adult and should learn to be responsible for her own future.

However, Gu's mother was still a little worried. After all, her daughter had been pampered by her family since she was a child and had never lived alone before. She was worried that her daughter might not be used to university, might be bullied, or might not be used to the meals.

So even though Gu Senxiang said that Zhao Shucheng would go to school with her, she still insisted on personally taking her daughter to school.

Gu Senxi said from the side, "Mom and Dad, don't you care about which school I apply to in the future? Shouldn't you be sending me to school?"

"What are you afraid of, you're a boy? At worst, I'll have your dad take you to school. But it's too dangerous for your sister, a girl, to be alone."

Gu Senxi had actually guessed that this would be the case long ago, after all, his older sister was the family's protected animal, while he was just a knight in shining armor that his parents had found for his sister.

"Okay, I knew it would be like this."

Gu Senxiang looked at her younger brother with some embarrassment. After all, her brother was also going to university, and it seemed that her family didn't care about him enough.

"otherwise……"

Gu Senxi laughed and said, "Alright, sis, you don't need to worry about me. Even if Mom and Dad care about you a lot, they won't have many more years to care. Once you marry Qi Ming, they won't be able to care even if they want to. It's different for me. I'll be living under the same roof as them, so I won't be able to run away."

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if your sister is married, your dad and I are still her parents. What's wrong with us going to her house to check on her?"

Gu's mother said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by marrying Qi Ming? Xiangxiang, are you really with Qi Ming?"

Gu Senxiang nodded shyly and said, "Mom and Dad, the college entrance exam is over. Qi Ming confessed his feelings to me, and I accepted. We're going to the same university."

Mr. and Mrs. Gu exchanged a glance. In fact, they had done some research on Zhao Shucheng. They had initially thought he was dating their daughter after he saved her, but they hadn't expected that the two of them would only discuss their studies every day, with no hint of anything romantic between them.

They were initially worried that their daughter might be in a one-sided crush, but after the college entrance exam, the boy won her over, which made them feel a little reluctant to let her go.

"That can't be done so casually. He didn't say anything about coming to visit or anything."

Gu Senxiang shook her head and said, "Qi Ming said we've only just started dating, and our relationship isn't stable yet, so it's not appropriate for him to visit us. He'll come after we've spent some time together and our relationship has stabilized."

"I hope what you're saying is true. But Xiangxiang, don't worry, if he dares to do anything to betray you, your parents and your brother won't let him get away with it."

Gu Senxiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Mom and Dad, I know."

"It's a pity my sister is allergic to pollen, which makes things less romantic when Qi Ming is dating her. Qi Ming can't send my sister flowers, which makes it much harder for him to prove his sincerity."

Gu Senxiang blushed and said, "Actually, it's not that he didn't give me flowers, it's just that I didn't take them out."

"Are you crazy? You forgot you have a pollen allergy and still accepted his offer? Are you out of your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother quickly opened her daughter's schoolbag, preparing to throw the flowers away.

Gu Senxiang said, "Mom, don't be nervous. Qi Ming knows I have a pollen allergy, so how could he send me fresh flowers? He sent me fake flowers, which are made of paper and look just like real flowers."

"Really?" Gu's mother was still a little skeptical, after all, she had already seen the flowers in the schoolbag, which did not look fake, and she could even smell the fragrance of the flowers.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can touch it and see." (End of Chapter)
