Chapter 781: Gathering in the Capital Again

Editor: Henyee Translations

Initial police investigations dismissed the possibility of homicide, leading to speculation online that the hater took her own life due to relentless cyberbullying from Jiang Mo’s fans. Consequently, Jiang Mo found himself embroiled in a maelstrom of public opinion.

However, official statements soon refuted these rumors, asserting that the deceased showed no signs of suicidal tendencies and likely died accidentally. The case was subsequently transferred to the Mutant Department for further investigation.

In response to the false claims circulating online, Jiang Mo’s team issued cease-and-desist letters to the purveyors of rumor marketing accounts.

Come September, schools across the country reopened their doors, and students from the No.1 Middle School Group embarked on their journeys to Beijing for enrollment.

With the exception of Zhang Shan and Li Shi, who gained admission to People’s University and Capital Polytechnic University respectively, the rest opted for Hua University.

Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue all enrolled in Hua University’s Physics program. Notably, they found themselves in the same class, with Gu Yang and Gu Jin sharing a dormitory—a result of Gu Yang’s negotiations with Principal Li.

Zheng Yi pursued a degree in Sports at Hua University.

Zhu Di, the sole daughter of her family, and Lu Mao, the heir to the Lu family’s business, both embarked on paths leading to the corporate world, studying finance.

Mo Mo opted for a major in computer science.

Fu Mingxiu remained quiet for an extended period. Initially enrolling in Capital University’s finance program, his sole intention had been to join Gu Yang at the same university in the future. Little did he anticipate that others would also apply to universities in the capital, nor did he expect Zhu Di and Lu Mao to secure admission to Hua University and into their preferred majors.

In this moment, he realized that the changes weren’t exclusive to Gu Yang; everyone else had undergone transformations as well.

To be exact, they had flourished and grown even more remarkable.

Aware that her friends were in the capital, Gu Yang extended an invitation to a private restaurant there.

It had been two months since Gu Yang and her friends last met.

During this time, her family had visited the capital.

Meanwhile, Zhu Di and Zheng Yi had been on a journey, chronicling their adventures on social media, showcasing tourist spots and local cuisine almost daily. Their posts often emphasized their blossoming romance.

Feng Jue remained by Gu Yang’s side, glancing enviously at their updates. In response, Gu Yang, ever the pancake master, sketched out grand plans for their future travels, promising to accompany him on adventures.

Others spent their summer break vacationing or learning to drive for their driver’s licenses.

Now, in a private room at Cloud Water Pavilion, they reunited.

“Yangyang! I’ve missed you so much!”

Zhu Di enveloped Gu Yang in a tight hug the moment they met.

Returning the embrace, Gu Yang grinned. “Missed you guys too.”

Zhu Di and Zheng Yi arrived together.

Back in high school, strict regulations governed appearance, prohibiting students from wearing short skirts, applying makeup, or dyeing their hair.

Upon graduation, many girls rebelled by dyeing their hair, and Zhu Di followed suit. With her chestnut-colored, cascading curls and immaculate makeup, she exuded radiance and elegance.

Subsequently, the rest of the group trickled into the private room, one after another.

Amidst lively chatter and laughter, they shared tales of their summer escapades.

Fu Mingxiu arrived last.

Lu Mao approached, draping an arm over his shoulder. “Brother Xiu, glad you made it. We’ve been waiting for you.”

The unexpected move left everyone pleasantly surprised.

In the past, when Yangyang was around, Fu Mingxiu wouldn’t have been so tardy. His delayed arrival left the group puzzled.

Yangyang, usually the one to initiate gatherings, found herself waiting on Fu Mingxiu this time.

Appearing somewhat fatigued, Fu Mingxiu greeted Gu Yang with a smile. “Sorry for being late, Yangyang. Heard you aced the College Entrance Examination. Haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet.”

Gu Yang graciously accepted his belated well-wishes. “Thank you, Brother Xiu.”

However, Fu Mingxiu’s smile faltered slightly upon noticing Feng Jue by Gu Yang’s side.

Feng Jue and Gu Yang had been classmates throughout school and had even scored identically on their College Entrance Examinations.
