Lin Mengmeng's body is gradually recovering, and the Academy of Esoterics has finally welcomed a long-awaited tranquility. The academy has decided to hold a grand celebration for her and Jiang Hanting to commend their bravery in the confrontation with Zhou Xiongwu. On that day, the entire academy was immersed in an indescribable joy.
On that special day, every corner of the Academy of Esoterics was filled with a festive atmosphere and warm light. In the grand hall, the soft lighting shone on the carefully arranged stage, which was adorned with flowers and candles, adding a sense of grandeur and sacredness to the celebration. Colorful balloons and ribbons intertwined to create a dreamy backdrop, making it feel like entering a magical world.
When Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting walked hand in hand into the auditorium, they became the center of attention for all eyes. Lin Mengmeng wore a simple yet elegant white dress that swayed gently with her steps, like a pure white lotus swaying in the wind, untainted by dust. Her hair was carefully arranged, cascading over her shoulders, accentuating her softness and purity. Although her face carried a hint of shyness in her smile, it also revealed an inner strength.
Jiang Hanting was dressed in a school uniform, exuding a seriousness and sternness that made him stand out in the crowd. While his expression still bore the usual aloofness, when his gaze fell on Lin Mengmeng, it softened imperceptibly, as if the whole world had become less severe in that moment.
As they walked towards the stage, the applause and cheers were continuous, and each round of applause seemed to be the highest recognition of their courage and perseverance. The principal of the academy stood on the stage with a pleased smile on his face. When the two of them approached him, he praised, "Classmates Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting, in the battle against Zhou Xiongwu, showed extraordinary courage and determination. They not only protected the safety of the academy, but also became heroes in all of our hearts."
The surrounding teachers and students responded one after another, and their applause became even more enthusiastic. Upon hearing the praise, Lin Mengmeng's smile brightened even more. Although she still had doubts about herself, at this moment, she truly felt that everything she had done was so meaningful.
In the grand auditorium filled with laughter and joy, the principal's words were like a warm spring breeze, comforting every wounded heart. Standing on the stage, his silver hair shimmered in the light, and his eyes revealed admiration for Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting.
"In the history of our Academy of Esoterics, few students have shown such extraordinary courage and strength in the face of adversity as Lin Mengmeng and Jiang Hanting," the principal's voice echoed through the entire auditorium, each word filled with power. "They not only protected the academy from threats but also proved through their actions what true heroes are."
As these words fell, the whole room erupted into even more enthusiastic applause. Lin Mengmeng stood on the stage, her expression somewhat nervous but also carrying an unmistakable sense of pride. The white dress she wore seemed particularly dazzling under the lights, much like a reflection of her current mood.
Beside her, Jiang Hanting remained calm, but when the principal mentioned him, a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth. His indifference was not a lack of concern, but rather a confidence in his own abilities and a calm acceptance of the current situation.
The principal then personally presented them with honorary certificates and medals. These two symbols of glory and courage shone brightly in their hands. When the principal announced the establishment of a scholarship to honor them, Lin Mengmeng's eyes couldn't help but moisten. She deeply understood that this was not only recognition for her personally, but also encouragement for all those who persevered through difficulties.
After stepping down from the stage, classmates and teachers came forward one after another, offering them their most sincere blessings and praises.
"Mengmeng, you did really well! We are all proud of you!" Zhao Yunli said excitedly, with admiration in her eyes.
Li Hongwen also patted Jiang Hanting on the shoulder, expressing agreement, "Your performance in the battle was really cool, we all saw it. You are our role model!"
Facing the blessings of everyone, Lin Mengmeng felt an unprecedented warmth. Despite her many shortcomings and weaknesses, at this moment, she had indeed accomplished something, earning respect for the academy, for her friends, and even for herself.
Amidst the applause, Lin Mengmeng felt a joy and pride like never before, looking at Jiang Hanting beside her with gratitude. Without Jiang Hanting's help and support, she couldn't have achieved all this. However, as her gaze fell on his calm yet profound eyes, she suddenly realized that her feelings for him had surpassed the boundaries of friendship.
At the end of the celebration, Lin Mengmeng stood at the edge of the stage, quietly watching the lively crowd. She felt a complex mix of emotions, experiencing both the joy of victory and the uncertainty of the future. She wanted to express her feelings to Jiang Hanting, but was afraid that doing so might push him away.
At that moment, Jiang Hanting quietly approached her and said, "It seems like you're really enjoying the atmosphere today."
Lin Mengmeng turned to look at him and replied softly, "Yes, I am very happy. But more importantly, I am very grateful to you, Senior Jiang."
Jiang Hanting smiled slightly, which was extremely rare. He looked into Lin Mengmeng's eyes and spoke with a subtle hint of probing, "Don't be so formal, we have been through so much together, we should consider ourselves close friends, right?"
Lin Mengmeng's heart fluttered slightly. She wanted to say more, but the words stopped at the tip of her tongue. She just nodded, but in her heart, she wondered if Jiang Hanting could sense her feelings.
As time quietly passed, the celebration ended successfully. When the last beam of light went out and the crowd gradually dispersed, Jiang Hanting suddenly grabbed Lin Mengmeng's wrist and led her towards the garden behind the academy. In that moment, his actions were both swift and resolute, consistent with his usual style during training at Esoteric.
Walking into the garden enveloped by the gentle night, it was silent all around, with only the occasional chirping of a nightingale breaking the stillness. The night flowers in the garden emitted a faint fragrance, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere in the air.
Jiang Hanting finally stopped in his tracks, turning to face Lin Mengmeng. His usually indifferent face now revealed a rare tenderness. He took a deep breath, seemingly organizing his thoughts, then spoke in a softer voice than usual: " Mengmeng, you look very beautiful today."
Lin Mengmeng slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise, but also with indescribable anticipation. Faced with Jiang Hanting's sudden change, she felt confused, but more so a nervousness that made her heart race.
Jiang Hanting looked deeply at her, then continued, "I know that you've been through a lot during this time. Your growth has exceeded my previous imagination. I... what I want to say is, I really appreciate you, not just because of your Esoteric, but also because of who you are."
Lin Mengmeng's face blushed slightly, filled with complex emotions. She tried to speak but found herself unable to find the right words. She could only answer softly, "Senior Jiang, I... I am also very grateful to you. Along the way, if it weren't for you, I don't know if I could have persevered."
Jiang Hanting's face showed a rare smile. He gently closed the distance with Lin Mengmeng and said softly, " Mengmeng, I don't want to call you junior or be your partner anymore. I think we can have more between us. Mengmeng, I like you."
This sentence seemed to open a door, allowing all the light to flood into Lin Mengmeng's heart. Her eyes widened slightly, then she lowered her head and said softly, "Me too, Senior Jiang, I like you too."
On this quiet night, Jiang Hanting gently embraced Lin Mengmeng and then leaned down to kiss her lips. This kiss was both awkward and gentle, and both of them seemed a little unsure, but it was also so natural and sincere.
Lin Mengmeng's hand gently rested on Jiang Hanting's chest, her heart beating so violently as if it wanted to leap out of her chest. Jiang Hanting's kiss gradually became passionate, yet still maintained a sense of respect and caution. When they finally parted, both of them had a shy smile on their faces.
Jiang Hanting looked at Lin Mengmeng with tenderness in his eyes: " Mengmeng, do you still remember what I told you before? Anyway, I hope to spend the rest of my time with you, and by 'rest of my time,' I mean a lifetime."
Lin Mengmeng widened her eyes, her face full of emotion, tears streaming down her cheeks. Then, she nodded, her eyes filled with dependence: "Senior Jiang, I also want to spend the rest of my life with you. As long as I have you, I feel very secure."
That night, the garden became their secret place, recording the moment when their hearts drew closer. The sweetness and affirmation of this moment would become their most precious memory.
