Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance

Chapter 258 - 257: Graduation

"Is it related to Li Yitian?"Gu Yixiao smiled slyly.

Wang Yuan shyly nodded.

"You two are really fast."

Judging by Wang Yuan’s expression, their relationship must have progressed significantly.

From when she started talking to Wang Yuan until now, it hasn’t been that long.

Li Yitian really is impressive.

"How could it not be fast? On the third day after we cleared things up, he came asking for an answer. Hadn’t noticed before, but he’s really quite assertive."

Wang Yuan seemed a bit annoyed verbally but was very happy judging from her expression.

"Alright then, judging by your look, I guess it’s a case of ’the tortoise meets the green bean, a perfect match,’ haha."

Gu Yi recalled the joke they last shared.

As she spoke, the nearby students curiously turned to her, causing her to lower her voice.

Wang Yuan laughed along with her.

Gu Yi handed her graduation project to the class monitor; the school’s notice said that the results would be out tomorrow afternoon.

Gu Yi was unsure if her design would be liked by the teachers, hoping for a good outcome.

It would mark a perfect end to her college life.

Her design was on the bulletin board the next afternoon.

There were other students’ designs too, which she looked at.

She found that everyone had unique ideas, and regretted not interacting more with others during school.

The next evening, the class monitor organized a gathering for all classmates.

Also considered a farewell supper.

Xie Qingyi was invited.

However, she might attend such a gathering once every year.

She knew that if she stayed too long, the classmates might feel uneasy.

So she left early.

As soon as Xie Qingyi left, many students swapped their drinks for alcohol.

Gu Yi continued drinking her beverage since she was still breastfeeding.

Wang Yuan also drank beverages with Gu Yi.

"Miss Gu, two years as classmates, haven’t really had chances to talk to you much. Always seemed busy, that’s why everyone thought of you as quite mysterious. Being the first in our class to have a baby too, we’re all really impressed with your courage. Let me say congratulations, let’s drink!"

The class monitor, named Li Zhi, was a local.

Gu Yi thoughtfully realized that in two years, they hadn’t talked much.

If Li Zhi hadn’t brought it up today, Gu Yi wouldn’t have known that classmates saw her as mysterious.

"I guess I’m older than you guys, so I have more family matters. Let me toast you, but I can only drink beverages now, I’m sorry."

Gu Yi raised her drink and stood up, apologetically.

"Understood, understood."

Li Zhi looked at Gu Yi’s straightforwardness, feeling slightly taken aback.

He’d brought a wine glass over after already having a couple of drinks with others.

Thinking he had decent rapport in class, but hadn’t interacted much with classmate Gu Yi.

He suspected that if they met on the street post-graduation, Gu Yi might not recognize him.

That’s why, fueled by alcohol, he came over.

Didn’t expect Gu Yi to be so easy-going.

After seeing Li Zhi start drinking with Gu Yi, other classmates soon followed to join in.

Gu Yi didn’t reject anyone; after all, they had spent two years together.

No idea if they’d see each other again.

By the end of the night, everyone’s eyes were red.

Some girls who had close relationships leaned together, whispering and sobbing.

Graduation brought hope, yet was particularly bittersweet.

Between drinks, everyone expressed various wishes to each other.

After the party, Gu Yi hurried home.

It went quite late tonight; she guessed Ye Huan was crying at home.

Sure enough, as Gu Yi opened the door, Ye Huan was crying.

Ye’s mother heard the door.

She quickly patted Ye Huan, soothing him.

"Mommy’s home, mommy’s home. Baby must be really hungry, you’ll be full soon."

She quickly washed her hands and changed clothes.

Took Ye Huan from Ye’s mother.

"Mom, has the baby been crying for long?"

Gu Yi asked while breastfeeding.

"Hasn’t the baby been crying for a long time? Next time you go out, come back early. There’s a little mouth waiting to be fed at home."

Before Ye’s mother spoke, Gu’s mother was quick to say.

Ever since Ye Huan was born, Gu Yi stayed home, ensuring Ye Huan was never hungry.

Who knew she’d return so late after going out today.

Ye Huan wouldn’t stop crying, refused to drink the formula either.

She felt heart-wrenched.

Ye’s mother probably felt even more.

So after Gu Yi finished speaking, Gu’s mother quickly expressed her concern.

"Yes, two years as classmates, eating together today, everyone will go different ways afterward, so it got emotional and went on longer."

Gu Yi felt slightly guilty.

"It’s okay, Huanhuan has only cried for a while, and kids need to cry to benefit their lungs."

Ye’s mother quickly reassured.

Since giving birth to Huanhuan, Gu Yi hadn’t ventured out much. Today was an exception, Ye’s mother wanted to ensure she didn’t feel too guilty.

No matter how much Ye’s mother felt for Ye Huan, she knew Gu Yi as the mother would feel more.

Gu Yi smiled and nodded at Ye’s mother.

Ye Huan seemed tired from crying.

Once full, she fell asleep.

Gu Yi gently put her on the bed, placing a small pillow behind her back.

Letting her lay slightly on her side.

This way, if she happened to spit up later, she wouldn’t choke.

Gu Yi placed a small towel over Ye Huan’s stomach, watched for a while, then went to the living room.

Maybe she exerted herself crying, now asleep with intermittent sniffling.

"Mom, my school matters are almost wrapped up. I want to take Huanhuan and stay at the military base for a few days. You know, Ye Hao and I had some unhappiness for a while, then once better, I was heavily pregnant and couldn’t visit, so Ye Hao’s been alone at the base. I want to take advantage of being less busy now to spend time with him."

Sometimes Gu Yi mused that in a past life, she chased after Ye Hao.

In this life, though initially she came to B City for Ye Hao, most of the time it was he accommodating her.

She knew Ye Hao wanted her over.

And it’s likely only during the breastfeeding phase that she had this free time.

Once weaning is complete, Gu Yi would start working, possibly not having this freedom then.

"Yes, you should go visit for a while, Hao Hao surely wants you there."

Ye’s mother watched them go through their journey together.

Though Ye Hao never said it.

She noticed each time he had a break, regardless of lateness, he’d come over.

When leaving, he’d always go the morning before returning to work.

She felt heartache witnessing this, but offered no suggestions.

Now, Gu Yi took the initiative to visit, something she was hoping for.

Ye Hao seeing them when home would be wonderful.

Gu’s mother also thought it was better for the couple to spend more time together.

Ye Hao couldn’t frequently come out, better for Gu Yi to visit him.

She also nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I’ll call Yitian later and ask him to send us over tomorrow."

Gu Yi told both mothers.
