Chapter 1224 Zhao Tingting's Filming Ends

It is said that prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. This saying can be applied not only to the hometown of the Sichuan girl, but also anywhere.

It's important to know that before he finished talking with Zhao Tingting today, he had a preconceived notion about her.

But after talking to her, he realized that she was just a female college student who was somewhat attractive and had simply taken the wrong turn at some point.

Some people may despise her behavior, and some may look down on her actions, but people can change.

When she realized that she seemed to have made a mistake or taken the wrong path, she felt sad and regretful. At this time and place, when she was about to graduate, she opened up and told her true thoughts.

It's not that she doesn't want to confide in others, but that she finds herself without friends, or that she doesn't know how to face her former classmates.

On the contrary, she felt no qualms about dealing with people from other classes, even those she had some connection with. After all, after today, everyone would be scattered across the country, and most of them would probably never see each other again in this lifetime.

This is not an exaggeration. Let alone the world being so big, even in a small county with a population of a few hundred thousand, once two people lose contact, the chances of seeing each other again are slim, as if they have disappeared from each other's lives. How much more so if they are in different parts of the world?

Lin Mo, holding a half-full glass of lemonade with ice, stood in front of a bench by the artificial lake, watching Zhao Tingting walk step by step toward the school gate, her slender figure gradually disappearing into the crowd, and sighed.

She was still clutching a thin, unsealed envelope in her hand, which contained, just as she had said, a stack of banknotes.

At the time, she felt there was no problem. She thought, "I've received a gift, so how I use it is my business. I may have accepted your gift, but that doesn't mean I accept being with you."

This logic initially seemed perfectly consistent with her, but after figuring things out, she realized her problem and made amends.

Ultimately, Zhao Tingting is not a bad person. She is just an ordinary person who has just graduated, is somewhat confused, but is also somewhat smart and has average abilities.

Clutching the envelope, Lin Mo smiled, glanced around at the surrounding schools, and then headed towards the school's back gate.

Today he saw Zhao Tingting off, and it may not be long before this place no longer belongs to him.

When he finally graduates and comes back here, he'll find that he's transformed from a student into a tourist.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tingting walked along the school road with her shoulder bag, looking at the younger students coming and going, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

As she herself said, she doesn't plan to attend the graduation photo the day after tomorrow, and she will also choose to have her diploma mailed to her. She moved all her belongings out of the dormitory last year.

It's fair to say that she may never return home today, and she has truly graduated.

Soon, the university's main gate appeared before her. She stopped a short distance from the gate and, after a long while, slowly removed the mask from her face.

To be honest, she was very afraid of being recognized by her classmates when she came back this time, and she was afraid of hearing certain things she didn't want to hear.

So it's not that no one is talking to her, but that she's avoiding her classmates.

But on this final stretch of the road, she no longer wanted to hide. She vaguely remembered that four years ago, on the first day of her freshman year, she walked through this door. At that time, she was overjoyed, her face full of anticipation for the next four years of university life. And four years later, she also wanted to walk out of this door with dignity.

She didn't want her final step to be a clandestine, secretive escape.

Taking a deep breath, she straightened her back and strode towards the door, just like she had four years ago, only this time she walked out from the inside.

The moment Zhao Tingting stepped out of the school's main gate, she smiled. Ahead lay a brand new beginning; her days at school had come to an end.

After taking two steps, she turned around and looked at the familiar gate, which bore the words "Jiangning University of Science and Technology." She chuckled softly, "Let's stop here."

I know that the green hills remain unchanged year after year, and the flowing water rushes on year after year. I also understand that the flowers will eventually wither, and the setting sun will sink into the river and head west. Spring has its end, autumn its departure, the tides are reliable, but people have no fixed date. Deep affection is often short-lived, so there is no need to ask when we will return.

But alas, when we laugh about parting and reunion, how can our hearts be at peace? When we harbor deep-seated obsessions, our hearts are never at ease.

Youth is a constant cycle of missed opportunities and unexpected encounters. May everyone shine brightly, and happy graduation!

After saying that, Zhao Tingting turned around and strode forward, and this time, she seemed to have truly let go.

I've let go of the past when I went down the wrong path, and I've let go of the goals I wanted but couldn't achieve.

All the praise given to my face, the slander and ridicule behind my back, and even the classmates I was on good terms with, all seemed to have become the past at this moment.

She had been involved with many people, but she only compensated Director Wang. It wasn't that she still had feelings for Director Wang, but rather that she realized that among all those people, only Director Wang had truly liked her back then.

I had no other purpose, nor did I intend to achieve anything, nor did I want to take advantage of her. I simply liked her, and I didn't bother her usually. My liking was very respectful of boundaries.

What she didn't care about back then is now the best memory she left during her four years of university, and the only thing she took with her.

Once a person learns to frequently observe themselves, their feelings, their words and actions, and reflect on themselves, then that person has already awakened the greatest divinity and spirituality within themselves.

This is one kind of enlightenment, and once a person is enlightened, the speed of progress is very fast, but they don't realize it, and even Zhao Tingting herself didn't notice it.

Years later, whether or not she achieves her dream, she will surely become the person she wants to be. When she looks back on this moment, she will realize that she has changed from that very moment.

Perhaps one day when she's old, lying in a chair, she'll recall this day and smile knowingly at this moment.

Without classmates seeing her off or a formal farewell, at this moment, quietly, her university life officially came to an end!

This is not metaphysics, but the most authentic spiritual awakening of human beings. When a person truly sees himself, he has the power to control his life.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo returned to the studio with the envelope. Everyone was there, and Miss Yuan had also woken up.

How is Lao Mo?

As soon as he entered, everyone looked over, and Miss Yuan even asked him a question.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo made an OK sign: "Hold on tight!"

He then tossed the envelope to Director Wang.

"What is this?" Director Wang asked.

Lin Mo: "Congratulations, you've finally seen a return on your investment!"

Everyone: ? ? ?
