Chapter 1009: What a Magnificent Scene
When I walked out of the office and went downstairs, my agent Park Jae-hyun, who had been waiting at the door, and several assistants and security guards specially assigned by SM immediately came to greet me.
When Chi Jingyuan saw these assistants who were on high alert, staring at him with eager eyes, as if they were ready to protect his safety, his heart twitched a little.
The reason why so many people were assigned here is because SM has experience in handling the college graduations of its artists. When Yoona graduated last time, the Dongguk University was almost bursting with reporters and onlookers. The company sent a dozen assistants but they were not enough. The graduation ceremony turned into a fan meeting.
But Chi Jingyuan felt that the company was making a fuss over nothing, because...
"Don't get too close to me. My classmates are actually quite reserved. There won't be any problem..." Chi Jingyuan was just about to walk out when he saw them coming up to him and surrounding him to prevent others from approaching. He gave these instructions helplessly.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Well, there is still a little difference between Yonsei and Dongguk...the schools are different..."
The assistants and security guards seemed to understand what he meant and took a few steps back awkwardly.
When I walked out of the building, the sun was shining brightly. It was a nice day today.
Walking on the main road of the school, the cool breeze blew, and the hem of his bachelor's gown was blown outward. Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt refreshed and felt that he had not felt this relaxed for a long time.
Looking around, the campus was full of graduating students wearing black and blue bachelor's gowns. The smiles on their faces showed either excitement or calmness. They just looked high-spirited and full of sunshine.
Everyone was surrounded by their parents and relatives. Some were chatting enthusiastically, while many were taking photos at iconic locations in the school.
After Chi Jingyuan came over, many people immediately looked at him.
His figure and appearance are very eye-catching. In addition, with the recent hits of his TV series and solo, there are few young people in the peninsula who don't know Chi Jingyuan.
Even though Chi Jingyuan rarely appeared in school and few people had seen him except his classmates, he was very famous. Many students had heard of this elusive artist senior since their freshman year.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan, some girls felt their eyes dazed and their faces instantly turned red. The timid ones peeked at him timidly, while the bold ones or those who knew him directly waved and greeted him from a distance.
"..."
After seeing this, Chi Jingyuan also waved and greeted with a smile, without any reserve of an artist, and his smile was very sincere, without much business flavor.
"Isn't that the one who..."
After Chi Jingyuan passed by, several aunts with big curly hair looked at his back and exclaimed, and asked their children: "Isn't this Jin Yan... Chi Jingyuan? He is from the same school as you. Is he graduating today too?"
"Of course, he's from the department next door to ours. I once ran into him in the cafeteria."
"Oh my god, an artist can get into Yonsei... This kid looks really handsome, even more handsome than what he saw on TV... And he's quite polite?"
"Indeed, Chi Jingyuan is really good-looking. He always comes to school without makeup and is completely different from the superficial idols. He is very stylish. There are many fans of his in our school..."
I greeted classmates I knew and didn't know along the way. After walking a few steps, I saw a large number of reporters squatting there.
Chi Jingyuan himself has been very popular recently, and people in the Peninsula have always admired academic qualifications. His graduation from university is also a very hot news. After learning the news of Chi Jingyuan's graduation today, a lot of reporters came today, but they were all restricted here by the school security and were not allowed to run around.
As Chi Jingxu just said, the number of reporters visiting the president’s office may not be more than that here.
"Jingyuanxi, can we chat for a while?"
"Jingyuanxi, can you talk about your feelings about graduation?"
"Jingyuanxi, are your family members here today?"
Before Chi Jingyuan got close, he saw a commotion in the distance. Reporters were holding cameras and asking him loud questions and filming him crazily. There were also many students around who were taking pictures with their cell phones.
As soon as he came, it was like a spark igniting firewood, and the surroundings immediately began to burn and boil.
When Ji Jingyuan was in school, he always tried to be simple and not to cause trouble to others. His whereabouts were kept secret every time he came to school. Even if reporters wanted to wait for him, they couldn't find him. Many fans only knew that he was in Yonsei, but there was no news about him over the years. He was so low-key that it was scary.
But today is his last day in college, so it would be nice to be a little high-profile and leave behind some final wonderful memories.
Chi Jingyuan walked in front of the reporters. Seeing the commotion here, Chi Jingyuan did not feel dissatisfied. Instead, he smiled and took the initiative to wave to the reporters, and greeted them in a familiar tone: "Are there so many people here?"
"I'm here all for you, Jingyuanxi!"
"We've been waiting here since six in the morning."
"Jingyuanxi, you look so handsome in your bachelor's gown!"
The reporters were not shy either. Many of them had been familiar with Chi Jingyuan for a long time, knew a lot of private information about him, and knew a lot about his personality, so they seemed to be somewhat familiar with him.
"Ha ha……"
Hearing the last sentence, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh. His smiling eyes seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He nodded to the reporters and stood in front of the grass next to him: "Then let's take pictures here. If you have any questions, just ask directly. I have to attend the graduation ceremony later..."
Countless flashes lit up, and his eyes were a little blurry for a moment, but his idol qualities were still there, and he managed to hold on after squinting his eyes slightly.
After the frontal photo was taken, the reporters continued to take photos while asking questions:
"Jingyuanxi, can you talk about your feelings about graduation?"
"Feelings? Yes, I am really grateful to the school, teachers, and classmates for taking care of me and accommodating me during my college years. It has allowed me to grow and improve here. These four years of college life will be my most important and precious memories in the future."
"As a popular artist, you managed to complete your studies and graduate in four years. Was it very difficult to achieve this goal?" asked a reporter holding a recorder.
What a little black guy, who doesn’t graduate from college in four years?
I always feel that this reporter is hinting at someone.
Chi Jingyuan complained in his heart, but his answer was impeccable:
"Was it hard? I think it was not bad. It might have felt very tiring at the time, but looking back now, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit."
"After graduating from Yonsei University, Jingyuanxi should be one of the most educated artists in the entertainment industry. What do you think about the current low education level of artists in the entertainment industry and the phenomenon of fake academic qualifications?"
"The highest education? How is that possible? Many seniors have very high education and even have made considerable academic achievements. I am still far behind... I can only say that university has indeed helped me grow a lot, but the most important thing for an artist is to do his job well."
"We have interviewed your classmates and juniors at Yonsei University. Most of them have very good opinions about you. Many female students expressed great regret for your graduation. Some female students even said excitedly that they were admitted to Yonsei because of you. Do you have anything to say to them?"
"Well, really? Didn't you make this up?" Chi Jingyuan smiled, looking a little unconvinced. However, after seeing the reporter's serious expression, he hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Thank you very much for your love and support. It's a pity that we may not be able to meet at school, but I will definitely come back in the future... However, there is no need to feel regretful. All the efforts you make to improve yourself will not be wasted. Yonsei is a place that will help you achieve your life goals and realize your self-worth. Come on!"
"Oh oh..." These brilliant words moved the students around them and filled them with pride for their alma mater. Many of them applauded.
"..."
"This is the last question. The graduation ceremony is about to begin..."
"Okay... The professor we interviewed you said that you are very talented and one of the most spiritual students he has ever seen. He hopes that you will stay in school to continue your studies. Would you consider giving up your career as an artist temporarily and stay in school to continue your studies?"
"Well..."
The professor really thinks highly of me. How much money did you receive from Chi Jingxu?
Chi Jingyuan's heart twitched when he heard this, but a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He answered hesitantly, "My family actually suggested that I continue to study this matter. I am also very interested in it, but I have to take care of my activities as an artist, so I am still considering it..."
"Okay, that's all. Thank you all for your enthusiasm..."
After the interview, Chi Jingyuan rushed to the auditorium. He sat in his seat and greeted acquaintances around him. Everything was no different from that of an ordinary student.
Soon the principal and professors arrived and began to give long graduation speeches and blessings to the students.
Although Chi Jingyuan is an artist, he is just an ordinary student at this time, sitting quietly in his seat.
This is nothing compared to senior Yoona, who is a superstar and the school idol at Dongguk University. Every time she comes to school, it's like she's taking a pictorial photo. Assistants, security guards and reporters follow her everywhere, and the award ceremony is always full of them. She is completely different from him, an ordinary student.
I heard that at the final graduation ceremony, the senior was awarded a merit award by the principal in front of all the students. It was said that it was for his contribution to promoting the school. The entire Dongguk University's reputation has been improved because of the senior.
Great achievement!
Listen, what a beautiful scene.
It’s a pity that Chi Jingyuan doesn’t have this blessing and benefit...Yonsei University doesn’t need him to promote it.
After the graduation ceremony, Chi Jingyuan greeted and exchanged greetings with all the school leaders, professors, and teachers, thanking them for their care. His courtesy was very thorough.
He then took photos with his classmates and left messages on them. He completely ignored the restrictions of SM and accepted all requests from classmates who were familiar to him and were wearing bachelor's gowns to take photos with him, without any airs at all.
It leaves a precious and wonderful memory and meaning for myself and others in the last moment of their college life.
After everything was over, he got into the car driven by his second brother and slowly drove out of the university where he had studied for four years.
He sat in the back seat, looking at the gate that was gradually moving away in the rearview mirror. Suddenly, a feeling of emotion and reluctance arose in his heart, which kept growing and spreading, and his eyes became unconsciously dazed.
It can be said that it was interspersed and parallel with the life of his idol, completely running through the most memorable and exciting years of his youth.
But before I knew it, four years of college life have come to an end. Looking back, I remember taking the college entrance examination, deciding to drop out of school, debuting as an artist, entering school, and my life in school over the years. All these memories seem like they were just yesterday.
But in a blink of an eye, four or five years passed.
Even Zhou Ziyu has transformed from a rustic little black girl into a fashionable, beautiful and graceful woman, becoming the "great beauty" she brags about.
And he has also transformed from a spirited, reserved and proud young boy into the top-level artist he is today, becoming a dazzling young man admired by countless people.
Time flies by so fast.
I'm really reluctant to let go.
Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt a little emotional.
But... thinking that he would no longer have to cram for his studies in the dark at the end of each year, he felt a mixture of emotions, but also a sense of relief.
There was a slight bump in the car. Chi Jingyuan came to his senses and turned his head to look at the shadow of the university that had gone away. Finally, his expression relaxed, and he turned around and suddenly smiled.
No matter what, my college life has indeed ended, and I have no regrets.
If we say that Yonsei University was famous in the entertainment industry, its most well-known alumni were Bong Joon-ho and Park Jin-young.
Now, we should be able to add Chi Jingyuan to the list.
There will be more later
