Chapter 111 Part 1

After Head Teacher Jiang's speech, several school leaders went up one after another.


 The sun was getting hotter and hotter.


 "It seems like there will be more things to give out later," said He Chao, who was tall and could see the cardboard box next to Head Teacher Jiang. He guessed, "Looks like books?"


 Other schools did give out books at the coming-of-age ceremony, straightforwardly giving each person a copy of the Constitution. But judging by the size of this cardboard box, it couldn't hold such thick and heavy books.


 Old Tang was busy maintaining their order, while Xie Yu quietly leaned back and didn't hear clearly what he was saying.


 He Chao was leaning towards him. If he lowered his head a little more, he would be able to touch his earlobe. After a moment of thought, he called out to him, "Old Xie."


 Xie Yu felt uncomfortable under the scorching sun and raised his hand to shield his forehead.


 "You're an adult now, and you've grown up. You need to learn something important," the person behind him spoke in a low voice, his breath tickling his ear.


 The words sounded similar to what the Mad Dog had said earlier, and Xie Yu couldn't quite grasp their meaning.


 He paused before asking, "What?"


 "Taking responsibility," He Chao replied.


 "Mm," Xie Yu responded indifferently. Based on his understanding of this person, he knew it wasn't going to be good.


 As expected, right after he said "Mm," He Chao immediately added, "For example, being responsible for your boyfriend."


 "..."


 So this was the trap.


 "I'll take," Xie Yu started to curse, but stopped midway and didn't let them out. "Can't you just speak plainly without beating around the bush?"


 He Chao wanted to tease him, so he lowered his head and rested his forehead against his neck when he heard what he said.


 At this point, the last leader on stage finished his speech.


 It was about time to visit the memorial hall, but the class teachers gathered around the cardboard box and seemed to be doing something. About five minutes later, one person came back with a stack of something.


 It was a stack of thick envelopes.


 This was not something that Old Tang had informed them about beforehand, so Xie Yu was a bit slow to react when he received the envelope.


 The envelope was addressed to "Xie Yu".


 It was written in a neat and elegant handwriting that he recognized immediately as Madam Gu's.


 "This is yours." Xie Yu turned around to see He Chao holding an envelope with the words "He Chao" written in large letters, followed by a messy line that read: "I am your father."


 "..."


 He Chao also noticed and coughed lightly, saying, "Our Old He is quite unique."


 Previously, Xie Yu had heard Old Tang talking to He Chao's father on the phone in the office, and thought he had a clear understanding of this "Old He," but it far exceeded his imagination: "He really is quite unique."


 As they spoke, the sound system next to them started playing emotional music, and the song "Grateful Heart" flowed out with electrical noise.


 All the students who received the letters were still in a daze, whispering to each other:


 "What is this."


 "Did my dad write this to me?"


 "My mom?"


 As the class representative, Liu Cunhao stood at the front of the line.


 "What is this?" He opened the envelope and read the first line. "To my dearest son..."


 Initially he still had a hint of teasing in his tone.


 But after he finished reading those few words, his voice suddenly disappeared.


 After distributing the last letter, Old Tang stood next to Head Teacher Jiang and asked, "How did you come up with this idea?"


 Head Teacher Jiang usually looked fierce and ruthless, but the more harshly he spoke, the more delicate his thoughts were, sometimes even more so than Tang Sen, the Chinese teacher. The coming-of-age ceremony had been planned for a long time, and they wanted to make it special, to make these kids remember this day as much as possible.


 Head Teacher Jiang sighed, "Some things are hard to say in person, maybe through letters, parents and their children can have more communication."


 Xie Yu opened the envelope and found that Madam Gu had written three pages.


 The first sentence was "I love you."


 For a moment, he seemed to see Madam Gu holding a pen, sitting at her desk and writing.


 ―I love you, but sometimes love is a burden.


 I am also very grateful to you, thank you for coming into my life.


 Xie Yu tightened his grip on the paper, unable to describe the feeling, as if his heart had been squeezed lightly and suddenly.


 In the next class, several girls couldn't hold back their emotions and cried out, covering their mouths and letting out a few sobs through their fingers.


 Their tears made the atmosphere even more emotional.


 Sometimes, the truest and strongest thoughts in a person's hearts hearts are too difficult to say aloud.


 Xie Yu looked at two pages of paper, then lifted his head and stared at a tree not far away for a while before finally calming down and reading the last page word by word.


 Since you were very young, I couldn't help but think about your future. What kind of person you would become, where you would go, and what you would do. I've thought about it all, three hundred and sixty ways.


 Now it's time for you to think for yourself.


 No matter what choices you make, I am proud of you.


 I only hope that you stay safe and happy.
