Chapter 11: Graduation

Huo Qi still felt it was a pity, resting his chin in one hand, his phoenix eyes slightly lifted, "So, you're confident about getting into Diwai?"

Yuran nodded, "I should be!"

In the end, Huo Qi sold the apartment to Yuran for two million. Knowing how insanely the housing prices in the Imperial Capital had surged over the years, Yuran looked at him incredulously when he heard the price, "That's the price you bought the apartment for, right? To think that..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't say it like that. I consider money as dirt, felt a connection with you at first sight, and money can't measure our fate, so I sold it to you cheaply, just to make a friend!"

Yuran helplessly said, "That's also not necessary..."

Huo Qi waved his hand, "If you keep talking, I just might not sell it to you! By the way, this apartment was a gift from my father back in the day. I wouldn't want to sell it to just anyone; we have a fate, so don't push it away—it's not like I don't want your money."

As the conversation ended, he continued, "I'm six or seven years older than you, who knows if you'll change your career plans down the road? If you really want to repay me, if we have a chance to cooperate in the future, take a little less for the film fee!"

Speechless for a moment, Yuran asked, "Are you so sure I'll enter the industry?"

Playing with the coffee cup in his hands, Huo Qi wasn't very certain, "I should be, can you give me a definite answer, will you enter it?"

"I will!"

Clapping his hands, Huo Qi immediately beamed, "Then it's settled, I will come back!"

Regarding the sale, Huo Qi had initially dealt with the relevant departments himself. Three days later, Yuran directly signed the sales contract with him.

On the day Yuran moved from the hotel to the apartment, Huo Qi was there to help. While he was organizing her cluttered books, he said, "You've lived in this place for quite some time, huh! Spending so much money!"

"Not really that long." Yuran stuffed clothes into her suitcase, then suddenly remembered the gift she had prepared for Huo Qi a few days before, stood up, went to the study to get it, and handed it to Huo Qi, "This is for you, have a safe journey!"

He held the beautifully wrapped gift box with its prominent logo, and Huo Qi chuckled, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

After moving, their contact became more frequent. Huo Qi was picky about choosing friends, yet he hadn't expected to find Yuran so agreeable. On the day he left, it was Yuran who took him to the airport. In the chilly airport, Huo Qi's tall figure stood out from the crowd, making him seem out of place. Though the time they had known each other was not very long, they got along like old friends.

Before leaving, Huo Qi persistently encouraged, "I hope to see you in the industry soon, and I'll collaborate with you right after I graduate!"

Yuran's eyes shimmered with a lustrous hue, and she slightly lifted her chin, "Okay!"

...

As the final mock test for the college entrance examination ended, the senior high school students finally welcomed the hottest summer vacation. On the day of vacation, Annan was packing her desk with textbooks and papers and asked Yuran, "Are you planning to stay in the Imperial Capital for university? Which university and what major are you considering?"

Yuran was packing her books just like her, pausing for a moment then calmly saying, "Imperial Capital Foreign Languages University, which language I'm not sure yet!"

Annan looked disappointed, "If you don't go into the entertainment industry, it's really a waste of your beauty and figure, such a talent lost!"

Yuran smiled, "We'll see!"

The meaning of 'we'll see' was indefinitely, and Annan, not expecting Yuran to choose Diwai, commented, "Diwai is full of eccentric people. Legend has it that every student at Diwai has a talent for at least three languages."
