Chapter 232: After modification: Chapter 232 Surprise
After walking off the stage with the certificate and trophy, Xu Renfei and the three others looked at the already dispersed classes, including their own. Seeing that none of them greeted him before leaving, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
It was indeed Xu Renfei. After searching the backstage for a long time without finding any trace of Bi Xia, his brows furrowed. He didn’t think Bi Xia was the type of person to ditch him.
"Fei, Sister Luo, Brother Yue, Xinxin," at this moment, someone from the director’s team came over, looking anxious, "We need to quickly wrap up the final interview summary. The school wants to clean up the stage and doesn’t allow us to stay any longer. It’s also the school’s dismissal time, with students rushing back to their dorms and homes. We’ll have to make do in the classroom for now."
"Alright, that’s fine," Meng Luo laughed, "Going to the classroom means we can see it one last time. It’s the weekend tomorrow, so we really won’t be able to come anymore."
"Ah ah ah," Luo Xin let out a cry, "It’s over..."
"Yes, it’s over just like that..." Han Yue muttered softly, and Xu Renfei surprisingly didn’t make a sound, but his peach blossom eyes carried traces of reluctance.
"Since you all want to conduct the final interview in your own classrooms, then Fei and Sister Luo will go to Class H, Xinxin and Brother Yue will go to Class B. We’ll be there shortly," said a girl from the director’s team.
The four of them nodded, climbed the stairs of the teaching building, one floor after another, and finally parted ways at the corner of the staircase.
Seeing the pitch-black classroom through the window on the door, Meng Luo and Xu Renfei exchanged glances. Meng Luo patted Xu Renfei, "Let’s go. If you really can’t bear to leave, don’t you still have their WeChat and phone numbers? You can keep in touch often."
Xu Renfei nodded, slowly pushed open the door, and at that moment, the dark environment suddenly sparkled with starlight. The classroom walls were adorned with glowing stars, flickering with green light.
The electronic screen lit up, showing a boy standing in an open playground, dressed in a black short sleeve, one hand in his pocket, the other tidying his hair. He seemed to say something, then looked up, his usually expressionless face showing a faint smile.
"Xu Xiaofei, Sister Luo, you guys have been in Class H for so long, and we haven’t really expressed much. I’m not good at saying sentimental words, so I’ll just say this: Class H is much happier with you guys. Class H will always be your home." As he spoke, the boy raised his hand and pounded his chest, then pointed at the camera, a bright smile on his lips.
The screen then turned to Meng Chi, who also smiled. "What the big boss said is what I want to say. Brother Fei, Sister Luo, you two are the most approachable stars I’ve ever met. Although I haven’t met many celebrities, no matter what happens, Class H will always support you."
Next, Wu Zhiyuan, Zhao Wenxin, Lin Bin, and other classmates appeared in the video one by one. As Xu Renfei and Meng Luo listened to their words, they couldn’t help but smile, and Meng Luo even lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
When the video ended, the sound of strumming guitar strings broke the silence in the classroom. Xu Renfei and Meng Luo were taken aback and simultaneously turned around to look back.
Unbeknownst to them, the back door of the classroom had been quietly opened. The kids from Class H appeared at the back, holding their phones with flashlights on, calling themselves the stars in the starlit sky.
At the front of the crowd, sitting on a desk at Xu Renfei’s familiar seat, a boy gently strummed a guitar. He was still wearing the same white shirt from earlier. The window was open, and the night breeze fluttered his shirt hem, making the scene look so beautiful and peaceful.
"Little Jiu’er..." Xu Renfei instantly realized who was behind all of this and couldn’t help but quietly curse with a smile he couldn’t suppress, leaning back on the podium and laughing, "Bi Xiaoxia, you really are... so infuriating!"
"Oh?" Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "Sure it’s infuriating and not... touching?"
"Yes, very touching," Meng Luo smiled while wiping away tears, "You all really surprised us. We thought everything was..."
"Everything was over?" The boy raised his starry eyes, suddenly stopping his guitar strumming. His red lips lifted in a confident smile, but his voice was gentle and slow, "I didn’t want it to end so simply. We won’t let it end between you and us just like that."
"This farewell party has nothing to do with the program or the school. It’s just a simple, sincere farewell between you and us, classmates and friends..."
The tune resumed, and the boy began to sing softly. The kids behind him joined in, "The brightest star in the night sky, please light up my way. I pray to have a clear heart..."
Putting down the guitar, the boy walked up to Xu Renfei. They looked into each other’s eyes for a few seconds before suddenly laughing together. They bumped fists and clasped their hands tightly, then bumped shoulders. Xu Renfei looked at Bi Xia and said deeply, "Little Jiu’er, no matter when or where, Brother Qi will always be here."
Bi Xia smiled, stepped forward to hug Xu Renfei, and said softly, "Believe in yourself. Remember, you’re no less than anyone else. Do whatever you want to do. I—Little Jiu, will always back you up! Brother Qi..."
