Chapter 86 is what's truly special to you.
"Dear students, important notice!"
"Young Master Ye, the bill is on us. Tonight at 7 PM sharp, we'll be holding our collective coming-of-age ceremony at the Swan Hotel to celebrate our 18th birthday!"
"Mr. Ye will be footing the bill for everything tonight. Everyone should come and have a great time!"
Shen Jiayi posted a group notification in the class QQ group, along with several pictures of the layout of the small banquet hall in the Swan Hotel, which instantly ignited the entire class group.
"Good heavens!"
"Ye Kai, did you win the lottery?"
"How did they manage to pull off such a massive undertaking?"
"They actually booked the entire small banquet hall of the Swan Hotel! It must hold hundreds of people!"
"I see the champagne towers, two of them!"
"Is there anything to eat tonight? If so, I'll go."
"..."
The class group chat immediately became lively, with everyone in high spirits discussing whether there were any dress requirements for the evening.
At this point, some people started tagging Ye Kai, saying, "I am Qin Shi Huang."
That's right, Ye Kai has now changed his QQ nickname to "Believe me, I am Qin Shi Huang".
[Believe me, Qin Shi Huang]: "There are no dress requirements, but the background setup is quite unique and suitable for taking photos, so I suggest everyone bring their summer school uniforms. We can take some individual and group photos as keepsakes."
[Believe me, Qin Shi Huang]: "If you prefer a more Western style, you are welcome to bring your own clothes. We will try our best to accommodate you and create a festive atmosphere so that you can have a happy coming-of-age ceremony."
[Believe me, I am Qin Shi Huang]: "Let me emphasize again, this event is completely free!!!"
Upon seeing Ye Kai's reply, the group chat erupted in excitement once again.
No one expected that Ye Kai would create such a big scene the day after the college entrance examination ended.
The Swan Hotel, the most upscale hotel in Xinghua City, is a rare and unforgettable place for every student to participate in a collective coming-of-age ceremony.
Especially when Shen Jiayi posted those photos of the scene in the group, the girls were so excited that they screamed loudly, startling their families who thought something had happened.
"alright!"
"The problem is solved!"
Ye Kai put down his phone, looked at the dumbfounded Director Jiang beside him, and shrugged.
"Xiao Ye, there's a reason why Jiajia likes you..."
"You're really something!"
Director Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the spirited Ye Kai, and gave a meaningful evaluation.
Does this sound like affirmation from the prospective mother-in-law?
After hearing this, Ye Kai didn't dare to respond.
He himself is not sure about the relationship between him and Shen Jiayi. Calling them boyfriend and girlfriend might be too early in terms of age, but compared to the relationship between ordinary classmates, they are undoubtedly very close.
We'll have to wait and see how far their relationship develops.
However, Ye Kai himself also had a very strong feeling that if he was willing to take the initiative to break through the current relationship, Shen Jiayi should not encounter any resistance.
Is this a kind of inexplicable sense of accomplishment?
……
In Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi's class, although there are a few tattletales, there are none who are particularly disgusting.
This is actually a common occurrence during student life, and nothing to be surprised about.
In addition to their classmates, Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi also invited some friends from other classes in the same grade to the coming-of-age ceremony that evening. These included classmates who had gone to Beijing together to participate in the independent enrollment selection test, as well as Chen Xiaoyu and her class monitor Lin Haiyao.
Chen Xiaoyu's sixteenth birthday hasn't passed yet; she's attending this coming-of-age ceremony purely as a spectator.
As for the parents, Ye Kai did not extend an invitation, but only opened the channel to a few parents he was familiar with.
After all, this coming-of-age ceremony was specifically for Shen Jiayi; everyone else was just benefiting from it.
As night falls, the lights are on.
When Shen Jiayi, dressed in a white princess gown, walked hand in hand with Ye Kai, who was dressed in a black suit, onto the catwalk, the entire scene immediately became uncontrollable.
Everyone was cheering, and the atmosphere reached its peak.
Then came the various fashion shows where everyone put together their own outfits, both solo and group, in school uniforms and formal wear.
Unfortunately, Xinghua City is ultimately a small, third-tier city, and in such a rush, it was impossible to find any nice-looking Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). Otherwise, the scene might have been much more lively.
"It feels a little strange."
After stepping off the runway, Shen Jiayi's face flushed slightly, and she whispered something in Ye Kai's ear.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Kai's gaze swept across the catwalk, somewhat surprised by the students' performance tonight.
Most of the people who usually seem quiet suddenly appeared tonight as if they had entered an era of awakening; the abrupt change in style was quite astonishing.
Especially the female students' outfits, which changed overnight from ordinary student uniforms to more mature and ladylike attire, were truly dazzling.
"When you led me onto the catwalk just now, the background music playing seemed to be Richard Clayderman's piano piece 'Wedding in a Dream'."
Shen Jiayi's face turned even redder, and she stammered a little when she explained.
She studied art, and she's already passed the tenth level in piano and plays the violin very well. How could she not recognize such a famous piano piece?
Therefore, when Shen Jiayi was led by Ye Kai onto the catwalk, her feet felt unsteady, as if she were walking on clouds. Her mind was blank, and she had no idea how she got there.
In that instant, Shen Jiayi's thoughts seemed to travel through time and space, filled with anticipation, confusion, and a little bit of fear.
It seemed as if, in some mysterious way, she felt that she never actually married Ye Kai.
This feeling left Shen Jiayi with an indescribable sense of turmoil.
"I understand what you mean..."
"Old memories, like frost, cover my shoulders; our first meeting at the alleyway, my heart is still heavy with longing. Snow falls silently, and you are by my side; in this life, we can say we've grown old together."
Ye Kai nodded, and a poem suddenly came to mind, so he recited it in front of Shen Jiayi.
"Snow falls silently, and you are by my side; can we truly grow old together in this life?"
Shen Jiayi pondered the imagery of the poem and was momentarily lost in thought.
At this point, the staff began to slowly pour champagne into the two champagne towers.
The crowd gathered around to watch the staff's performance.
"Don't think about all that nonsense. Today is a special day, and what I'm giving you is the most special thing..."
Ye Kai glanced at the classmates waiting to share champagne in the small banquet hall, then suddenly took Shen Jiayi's hand and led her towards the rooftop.
"What's so special about it?"
Shen Jiayi was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat expectant, wondering what kind of surprise Ye Kai would bring her.
"We can begin!"
Ye Kai took out his phone, made a call, and gave instructions.
What should we start?
Shen Jiayi looked at Ye Kai with some confusion, then heard a loud bang, and then saw colorful fireworks blooming in the sky opposite.
"A personal fireworks show specially prepared for you."
Seeing the look of surprise in Shen Jiayi's eyes, Ye Kai smiled and said to her.
"Ye Kai, are you really going to such lengths to woo girls?"
Moved, Shen Jiayi hugged Ye Kai's arm and playfully scolded him.
"This is just the beginning!"
"Check your phone, go to 6rooms live streaming, search for Times Square big screen live stream, there's a surprise inside."
Ye Kai reminded Shen Jiayi.
