Chapter 781: Chapter 280: Youth Never Ends! (Part 3)
The misfit came to the door, smiling as he said goodbye to everyone, just like Zhao Mingxuan did back then.
At this moment, he deeply understood the feelings that the boy with glasses once had.
As the class president, he bore the responsibility of fostering unity and friendship among the class, enjoying the love and respect of everyone. After four years together, the misfit had long considered these classmates as family.
But now, this big family was about to disband, which was extremely saddening.
"Class president, can I hug you?"
A girl boldly made the request, which received enthusiastic responses from the other girls.
"Yes, we want a hug from the class president!"
"I want to remember this embrace from our male idol forever!"
"..."
Su Zelin generously opened his arms to satisfy the girls’ request.
Almost all the girls scrambled to hug the chairman of the women’s federation one by one.
Even Liuu Wanyin mustered the courage to hug him briefly.
"Boss, thank you!"
All the words were wrapped in those simple four letters.
Liuu Wanyin understood that if not for Su Zelin, it would have been a question whether she could have finished college, let alone let her family enjoy a good life.
After expressing her thanks, Xiaoliu let go, her face flushed.
Such a thing, she had never dared to imagine before.
Su Zelin noticed something. Now, Xiaoliu wasn’t so skinny anymore; she had gained a little weight.
He watched as everyone gradually made their way out of the restaurant.
Finally, the hall became empty.
Su Zelin didn’t leave. Instead, he found a chair and sat down.
The feeling was peculiar, indescribable.
Even though he didn’t break down sobbing like Zhao Mingxuan did, the heaviness in his heart was undeniable, filled with nothing but loss and reluctance.
It felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained; he just wanted to sit quietly for a moment.
He took out a graduation album from his canvas bag and opened the first page, which was densely filled with graduation messages and best wishes from classmates.
"The eraser gets smaller and smaller, but it can’t wipe away our tears and laughter. The clock never stops running, spreading our efforts and pride. The farewell is frozen in a wave and embrace but ferments our long-lasting longing. Class president, wishing you the best for tomorrow!"
"A warm greeting, a soft inquiry, a bright smile, a touch of warmth, a sincere blessing—these are the beautiful memories of this youthful campus, and may these memories accompany us into the next journey of life!"
"Once a boss, always a boss!"
"..."
As he was looking at the album, footsteps suddenly came from behind, and someone approached.
It wasn’t the restaurant’s waiter, but Luo Xi.
The class beauty, who had already walked out, had returned.
In the previous life, Luo Xi also stayed in the restaurant for a long time after the farewell party, hating herself for not being able to manage Finance Class 1 well during her four years in college, letting the class group turn scattered, and considering herself a very failed class president.
Back then, it was Su Zelin who came back to find her, accompanying her to talk about many things and making the class beauty realize her mistakes.
But this time, things turned out differently.
"Boss, let’s go."
Luo Xi gently patted Su Zelin on the shoulder.
She could understand the misfit’s feelings at the moment.
After all, she was also the vice-president.
Although Su Zelin often pushed things onto her, Luo Xi knew very well that he deeply loved this class group. ℴ
Many of the tricky problems she couldn’t solve were all handled by Su Zelin.
"Alright!"
Su Zelin nodded, took a deep breath, and carefully placed the graduation album away.
For him, it was one of the most important tokens of his youth.
He and Luo Xi walked out of the restaurant side by side, and seeing the scene in front of him, the misfit was immediately stunned.
The buddies hadn’t left yet. Everyone, regardless of gender, was waiting outside the door.
There was no need to say it; the person they were waiting for was him.
"Boss, if we’re leaving, let’s leave together!"
The sports committee member, Li Chunhua, said in a rough voice.
"If we’re leaving, let’s leave together!"
Everyone echoed loudly.
Su Zelin’s eyes instantly filled with tears.
He rubbed his sour nose, feeling both excited and proud.
It seemed that as a misfit class president, he had done better and won more hearts than Zhao Mingxuan!
"Yes, let’s go together!"
