Chapter 74: My Dream is You!
“This might be the last class I give you, and I think even if I teach a topic, you won’t be able to focus,” Qi Yun said as he stood at the podium.
There was a slight laughter from the audience.
Indeed, it was the last day, and who wanted to listen to a class anyway? Mr. Xu also chuckled beside him. At this point, he didn’t bother pretending to be serious anymore. It was even scarier when he smiled than when he didn’t.
“So today, I want to hear from all of you,” Qi Yun continued.
“What do you want us to talk about?” A student shouted loudly.
In these past few days, they were becoming more and more unrestrained since they were about to graduate.
“Let’s talk about the future. We’re about to graduate, go through the college entrance examination, and step into the next phase of our lives… Let’s talk about what you want to do in the future, or let’s put it simply, let’s talk about our dreams.”
Dreams are often regarded as a cliché and mundane word.
But on this night, the final night of high school, many students showed thoughtful expressions.
“Let’s start with Mr. Xu!” Qi Yun pointed at Mr. Xu, who was stunned.
Him? He was caught off guard.
“What do I want to do in the future… I’m already fifty-three. What future do I have?” Mr. Xu said, and the entire class burst into laughter.
“Then talk about your past dreams.”
Qi Yun smiled and said, “In the past…”
Mr. Xu scratched the back of his head. His dark face turned slightly red.
“My previous dream was to become a teacher, at least to be remembered as a good teacher by my students…”
As Mr. Xu spoke, his voice became quieter, and he seemed a bit embarrassed.
“Mr. Xu, you are indeed a good teacher!”
“What did you call me?”
Mr. Xu’s face turned even redder, but he seemed angry as he looked at the student who stood up.
“Mr. Xu, you are a good teacher!”
“Mr. Xu, you are a good teacher!”
The entire class shouted.
Mr. Xu blinked and muttered under his breath.
“…a bunch of little rascals!”
Well, his eyes were slightly red. Perhaps it was because Mr. Xu spoke first, or maybe the atmosphere had been set.
The other students relaxed a lot.
A boy stood up. “I just want to earn more money in the future! I want to work in Beijing!”
A girl also stood up. “I want to do what I love. I love history, so I want to major in history in college and become a historian in the future!”
Someone else said, “My dream is to travel the world! I want to become a traveler in the future!”
…..
Everyone in the class expressed their dreams one after another.
Each person’s thoughts were quite ordinary, but they felt real until a girl stood up.
“In the future, I just want to be with someone I love. Yes, I want a beautiful love.” That was Very girly. Qi Yun also nodded with a smile.
No matter what they dreamed of at this age, it was beautiful enough.
Then the girl added, “Just like you and Lian Qingxue!”
The entire class burst into laughter.
Lian Qingxue blushed, but there was a smile on her face as if she felt a little proud.
“Qi Yun, what’s your dream?”
“Yeah, we’ve talked about ours. What about yours, Qi Yun? And Lian Qingxue!”
At this moment, the entire class suddenly realized. Perhaps now was their last chance to see this famous couple of their grade.
They couldn’t help but become gossipy.
“What’s my dream? I’ll talk about it later. Let’s hear what Lian Qingxue has to say first.” Qi Yun smiled and looked at Lian Qingxue.
Lian Qingxue stood up, hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.
“I don’t have any dreams anymore,” she finally said after a long pause.
“Huh? We don’t believe you!”
This answer obviously didn’t satisfy my classmates.
“Tell us!”
In fact, Lian Qingxue wasn’t really familiar with her classmates. After all, she had been inconspicuous before.
Later, she became radiant, and many people didn’t dare to approach her.
Moreover, after school, she would either be at Qi Yun’s house or in the milk tea shop. She didn’t have any particularly close friends at school. Her classmates were quite curious about her.
I really don’t have one…
Lian Qingxue blushed, her voice low. “Because my dream is already here…”
Her voice was soft, but the entire class heard it.
Everyone turned to look at Qi Yun.
Lian Qingxue smiled and looked at Qi Yun as if saying:
My dream is you!
“Cough, actually, my dream is also very simple. It’s to fulfill all of Lian Qingxue’s dreams!”
“Tch!”
The entire class shouted.
Unexpectedly, on the last day, they still managed to tease them. But at this moment, even this bit of dog food seemed quite adorable. Thinking that they wouldn’t be able to have it in the future, it somehow became nostalgic.
……
Everyone chatted and laughed, and evening self-study quickly passed.
For them, the three classes of evening self-study, which used to feel endlessly long. But today, it passed quickly.
In the end, when Qi Yun felt it was time to dismiss the class, Zhang Mengyao suddenly stood up.
“Qi Yun! And Lian Qingxue! You two must be together in the future! And get married! Have children! Grow old together! Be happy for a lifetime!”
Zhang Mengyao blushed, and her eyes were slightly red.
“Otherwise, I won’t be content!” As she spoke, her voice had a hint of a sob.
Qi Yun looked at Zhang Mengyao.
“Yeah, I will! I will be with Qi Yun and be happy together,” Lian Qingxue suddenly said, her eyes bright and determined.
“We will be happy for a lifetime, get married, have children, grow old together, and then be buried together. I won’t let you down.”
At this moment, other students in the class also stood up.
“Qi Yun, you have to take good care of Lian Qingxue! Otherwise, I won’t be satisfied! I haven’t even confessed to her!”
“That’s right!” Another boy raised his hand.
At this moment, it seemed that quite a few boys who secretly liked Lian Qingxue and girls who liked Qi Yun couldn’t hold back anymore.
Indeed, Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue were too dazzling and attractive for their class.
At this age, it was hard not to have wandering thoughts.
Perhaps speaking them out now was just to avoid any regrets.
Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue felt no resentment towards these sudden rivals.
Instead, they smiled happily.
“Thank you all for your kindness and support!” Qi Yun said with a smile.
“Of course! We’re just considering that we’re classmates!” A boy said.
The entire class burst into laughter as if all the reluctance and unrequited love had disappeared in the laughter.
