The air was quiet, with the occasional chirping of an unknown insect.

After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of flowing water ahead.

Dou Xiaorong stopped by the river and sat down on the grass.

Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi parked their bicycles, and Dou Xiaorong took out a series of glass candles from her backpack.

Each candle is a different color, and they are lit and placed together.

Suddenly, this dark place, devoid of lights, transformed into a romantic spot.

"How is it? Pretty, isn't it?" Dou Xiaorong smiled smugly.

She pulled Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi together, raised her phone, made a peace sign, and recorded this moment.

After taking the photos, Ling Ziqian brought over the fireworks.

The three of them played around like it was Chinese New Year.

Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi's smiles bloomed along with them.

Ling Ziqian held up his phone to record this moment that could never be repeated.

After playing and having enough fun, Dou Xiaorong took out snacks and drinks from her backpack. She was well-prepared for the evening.

The three of them sat together eating, and Ling Ziqian hesitated for a moment.

Although he didn't want to spoil the mood, he didn't want to keep it from the two of them.

He told them that he was going to another university.

The atmosphere froze instantly. Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong looked somber and remained silent.

Ling Ziqian quickly explained that his student status could be retained, and he could come back to school with them as soon as he finished his business.

However, the disappointment on their faces remained unresolved.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ling Ziqian felt very embarrassed and had a headache, not knowing what to do.

Just when he was in despair, the two guys burst out laughing.

"We already knew about this, you bastard, keeping it from us!"

Chapter 346 I have a place I recommend to you!

These two already knew about this; they were just pretending to be disappointed!

Ling Ziqian was quite frightened.

Coming to his senses, he realized that Yu Meiren had leaked the secret, and he was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What's that guy doing? Isn't he afraid of affecting their performance on the college entrance exam?

"When did you find out?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously.

"We'll know soon enough." Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi chuckled, teasing Ling Ziqian for a moment, and then they were both quite happy.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly, "Anyway, you understand, right?"

"What can I do if I don't understand?" Dou Xiaorong crossed her arms over her bulging chest and asked angrily.

"Hehe." Ling Ziqian smiled sheepishly.

“Brother, you’ve kept your student status, and you’ll come back to study together, so it doesn’t count as breaking the agreement.” Su Mingxi gave an understanding smile.

Ling Ziqian nodded, agreeing.

The two didn't ask about the university, presumably because Yu Meiren had already explained it to them.

Dou Xiaorong boldly tilted her head and rested it on Ling Ziqian's shoulder, "It's a pity we can't enroll together."

"There are some regrets, but no one's life can be perfect!" Su Mingxi was quite open-minded about it.

"I will come back as soon as possible and fulfill our promise!" Ling Ziqian promised.

It's a little sad to talk about this at a time like this.

Soon, the two guys cheered up.

Dou Xiaorong exclaimed, "Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about when and where we're going on our graduation trip!"

Su Mingxi chimed in, "Let's go to Japan. My brother definitely has a promise with Nanako!"

"Going to the island nation?" Dou Xiaorong asked Ling Ziqian with a grin.

"..." Ling Ziqian was speechless; he hadn't figured out the answer to this question yet.

Even if you go, you should go alone. Taking Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi along would be a bit awkward.

“Um…” Ling Ziqian scratched his head, “For a graduation trip, let’s go hiking and see the sea. We have plenty of time, so let’s plan as we go.”

"Wow!" Dou Xiaorong exclaimed in surprise, "Are we going to spend the entire summer vacation traveling?"

"Otherwise, what do you want to do? Study?" Ling Ziqian asked with amusement.

Su Mingxi smiled and said, "You can learn a lot from traveling, things that you can't learn from books."

Dou Xiaorong chuckled shyly, "That must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Money is no problem." Ling Ziqian smiled smugly. "I have plenty of savings of my own, so I'll cover your expenses!"

"Haha, really? Ziqian, you're amazing!" Dou Xiaorong giggled with delight.

Su Mingxi smiled silently.

"Then, when do we set off? Is it just the three of us?" Dou Xiaorong asked these questions.

"Well..." Ling Ziqian wasn't sure either. "Qiaoyan has to go to class, and they won't be on vacation for another month. I don't know if she'll take a long leave. I'm thinking of bringing Meiren and Xiao'ai along, but I don't know if those two will go."

Su Mingxi reminded Ling Ziqian, "And Sister Qiuzhen, she's on vacation too. She was our homeroom teacher throughout high school, so we should invite her to thank her!"

Speaking of Cui Qiuzhen, Dou Xiaorong immediately exclaimed, "I haven't talked to Sister Qiuzhen in a long time. Now that the college entrance exam is over, we've been so busy having fun that we've forgotten about her. Let's go find her!"

Ling Ziqian checked the time. It wasn't too late. The fireworks were almost over, and the candles were nearly burned out. It was time to leave.

The three of them stood up and finished setting off the fireworks.

By the last glow of the candlelight, Dou Xiaorong screamed at the dark riverbank, shouting that she had graduated and become an adult!

Urged on by her, Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi also shouted incoherently.

I felt a little embarrassed, but after shouting, I felt a sense of relief and inexplicable joy!

"Give me a hug!" Dou Xiaorong pulled Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi, and the three of them hugged each other. "No matter what happens in the future, no matter what we encounter, the three of us will be good friends, help each other, encourage each other, laugh, shout, and cry together, and face life together!"

It felt a bit childish, but I have to say, Dou Xiaorong's words ignited my passion.

Ling Ziqian hugged the two of them tightly, smelling their sweet scent, and couldn't help but kiss their cheeks.

Dou Xiaorong giggled and kissed Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi on the cheek.

Su Mingxi got excited and boldly gave him a kiss.

The candle went out at that moment, plunging the three of them into darkness, yet they remained embracing.

Dou Xiaorong boldly spoke up, "I like Ziqian, and I also like Mingxi. You are my best, best friends!"

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mingxi also spoke softly, "I also like Xiaorong, and I like my brother. I hope we will never be separated!"

Ling Ziqian didn't say anything, just hugged them tightly; that was enough.

The three embraced, feeling each other's breath and heartbeat; at this moment, the three were closely connected!

No one knows what the future holds, but as long as we are tolerant and cherish each other, this friendship can last forever!

After a long, long time, the three of them finally smiled and let go of each other's hands.

They opened the flashlight app, found the bicycle, and the three of them walked out talking and laughing, discussing when they could come back here again.

I rode my bike to Cui Qiuzhen's house.

Worried that Cui Qiuzhen had fallen asleep, Ling Ziqian made a phone call in advance.

Upon hearing that Ling Ziqian and his two companions were coming, Cui Qiuzhen naturally gave them a warm welcome!

It was already quite late when we arrived at Cui Qiuzhen's house.

Cui Xue had already gone to sleep, and Ling Ziqian felt a little embarrassed that he had disturbed them.

Xue Lan laughed and said, "Your classmates invited my cousin to sing karaoke, but it was all just talk. They didn't even say where they were going. They were so insincere. You guys are much better!"

Cui Qiuzhen tapped Xue Lan on the head, telling her to go to sleep and not get involved in her affairs.

Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi sat on either side of Cui Qiuzhen.

They held Cui Qiuzhen's arms, reminiscing about the past and expressing their gratitude.

Cui Qiuzhen was very pleased to see the two boys being so well-behaved and thoughtful.

Ling Ziqian sat to the side, listening to them with a smile.

After talking for a while, the topic turned to graduation trip.

Xuelan perked up and excitedly asked, "When are you planning to leave?"

Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi looked at Ling Ziqian, leaving the decision to him.

Ling Ziqian thought for a moment and agreed, "Let's set off in a few days. Anyway, we don't have much to do during the holidays, so leaving early will allow us to visit more places."

Upon hearing this answer, Xuelan burst into tears, "Waaah, we won't be on vacation that soon, and I have a very complicated paper to write..."

Since that guy couldn't go with them, everyone looked at Cui Qiuzhen.

Cui Qiuzhen felt a little embarrassed by their stares. "You can all go together, I don't need to."

"Sister Qiuzhen, why don't you come too? You're under a lot of pressure as a teacher, let's relax together!" Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi persuaded Cui Qiuzhen.

"This... isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Cui Qiuzhen was somewhat tempted, but also had some inexplicable concerns.

“There’s nothing wrong with it, let’s go together, Sister Qiuzhen!” Ling Ziqian also chimed in to persuade her.

Cui Xue was probably woken up by the noise of everyone talking.

Hearing about travel, she, still half asleep in her nightgown, ran out of her room, shouting that she wanted to go on a trip too. (The female intermediary is incomplete.)

Cui Qiuzhen hugged the girl with a stern face, "You haven't even started your vacation yet!"
