Chapter 292 Getting Married!
Ye Wentao nodded in understanding and responded:
"Okay, I need to go to the dance hall again. The activities there aren't over yet, since we're graduating tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he gave a faint smile.
After wishing each other well, the two turned and left.
Since that day of parting, Ye Wentao successfully completed his graduation procedures and immediately began preparing for his trip to the United States; while Zhao Zhaodi devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies.
Although they would occasionally meet in the days that followed, an invisible barrier seemed to have formed between them after that slightly awkward confession at the ball, and the natural atmosphere of their previous interactions was gone.
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, the final exams have come to an end, and students are welcoming the long-awaited holiday.
Wang Bin and Mu Li, a couple, also graduated successfully. What's enviable is that Wang Bin was assigned to work at the Finance Bureau in District C of Beijing, while Mu Li got a job at the Post Office in District C of Beijing.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds and gently bathed the earth.
Zhao Zhaodi, who was packing her things, suddenly heard her mother calling.
"Zhaodi, there's a phone call."
Zhao Zhaodi jogged over and picked up the phone; it was Mu Li calling.
Murray's excited voice came from the other end of the receiver:
"Zhao Di, Wang Bin and I are treating everyone to dinner today, and we also have some great news to announce! Let's meet in front of the movie theater!"
Zhao Zhaodi was taken aback for a moment, then asked:
"Just this morning?"
"Yes, yes, this time it's a three-day, three-night feast, you absolutely have to come!"
Muli could not hide her joy.
"Okay, I'm off now!"
Zhao Zhaodi readily agreed and then quickly hung up the phone.
However, just as she put down her phone, it rang urgently again.
"Hey, Zhao Di, do you know if Mu Li's family has some big celebration? They're hosting a party for three whole days and three nights!"
Yan Meili's excited voice came through the phone clearly.
Zhao Zhaodi was slightly taken aback, then replied:
"Well, I'm not too sure. Maybe she found a really great job. By the way, Meili, have you found a job yet?"
"Hehe, it's almost all settled. I've been hired by the Real Estate Administration Bureau of District C in Beijing!"
Yan Meili couldn't hide her joy and said happily.
"Wow, that's wonderful! Congratulations, beautiful!"
Zhao Zhaodi was genuinely happy for her friend.
"Thank you, dear Zhaodi! Enough with the chit-chat, I'm heading out now. Let's meet at the movie theater entrance."
After giving her instructions in a hurry, Yan Meili hung up the phone without any further ado.
Zhao Zhaodi hung up the phone, turned around, and shouted into the house:
"Mom, I'm not eating at home all day. Muli is treating us to three days and three nights."
Lin Fangfang, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out upon hearing the sound and gave instructions:
"Okay, I got it. But you have to come home early tonight and chat with your sister Zhaodi. She's about to take the college entrance exam, and I've noticed she's been a bit nervous these past few days. You've been through that, so help her with some emotional support and give her some advice."
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zhao Zhaodi readily agreed, then pushed her bicycle out the door, straddled the seat, and pedaled hard. The wheels spun rapidly, carrying her towards her destination.
When Zhao Zhaodi arrived at the cinema entrance by bicycle, she immediately saw Li Bin, Zhu Jing, Yan Meili, Mu Li, Cheng Hui, Wang Bin, Kong Hui, and others who were already waiting there.
Some of them were chatting and laughing, while others stood quietly waiting.
Zhao Zhaodi skillfully dismounted her bicycle and parked it steadily by the roadside. Then, she curiously approached the crowd and asked:
"Wow! What great news is this? Why are you here to see a movie so early?"
Yan Meili's face beamed with joy as she eagerly answered:
"Haha, Zhao Zhaodi, you've finally arrived! I have something to tell you, Wang Bin and Mu Li got married!"
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Zhaodi's mouth dropped open in astonishment, and she asked incredulously:
"Really? You got married? When did this happen? I didn't hear a thing!"
Wang Bin proudly waved the bright red marriage certificate in his hand and happily said:
"We just got our marriage certificate this morning! As soon as the Civil Affairs Bureau opened, we were the first couple to rush in! So, as soon as we got the certificate, we immediately invited everyone over for a meal and a get-together. How about that, pretty loyal, right?"
Zhao Zhaodi still found it somewhat unbelievable and continued to press for answers:
"So, did you two start secretly dating back when you were in school?"
Wang Bin burst into laughter upon hearing this, and retorted:
"Oh dear, dating in college isn't exactly something to be secretive about! It's just that your old-fashioned father is so strict with you! Plus, you're such a good girl, it's tough on Chen Runping."
Just then, as if remembering something, Mu Li suddenly turned to look at Yan Meili and asked jokingly:
"Hey, Yan Meili, where's your other half? You should bring him over and introduce him to us!"
"How could that be! I've always been single."
Yan Meili quickly waved her hand and explained.
A hint of shyness appeared on her beautiful face, but her eyes were very firm.
Muli, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled softly:
"Oh, stop making things up! We saw you two walking down the street arm in arm the other day. I was about to go up and say hello, but I felt a little embarrassed to disturb your time together, so I didn't go up to say hello."
After saying that, Mu Li winked at Yan Meili, as if she was teasing her.
Upon hearing this, Yan Meili's cheeks instantly flushed red, as tempting as a ripe apple.
However, she quickly regained her composure and responded with a smile:
"Alright, alright, since you've all found out, I'll treat you all to dinner in a few days, and then I'll formally introduce him to you, okay?"
At this point, someone changed the subject:
"Today is a big day for Wang Bin and Mu Li! They've both found great jobs, it's so enviable. So we should relax and have some fun these next few days! As for the beautiful things, let's put them aside for now, we'll talk about them later. By the way, Zhao Di, when is Chen Runping coming back?"
The speaker was Kong Hui.
