You Are My Colour Palette - Chapter 170 A Place To Remember 1

Because of her high waist maxi skirt, Qin Yang carefully walks down the stairs where Jun Ting is already waiting for her. Her lips curl into a smile seeing how handsome he looked in his white silk shirt tucked in his skin-tight jeans.

Jun Ting was satisfied with her outfit, knowing that it will keep away disgusting stares away from her. Wrapping her hand around his arm, she looks up with excitement ” So where are we going? ”

Butler Chen walks towards the couple with a blindfold in his hand, Qin Yang looks at it in confusion. Jun Ting pulls her hand and turns her around, taking the blindfold from Butler Chen’s hand ” Didn’t I told you is a surprise?”

The hair on her skin crawls up when she felt his warm touch brush against her ears as he ties the blindfold around her. Jun Ting carefully ties it behind her head, making sure not to mess up her low messy bun, displaying her beautiful fair neck. After a few seconds of staring, Qin Yang interrupts ” Ah Ting? Are you done? ”

Putting his hand in his pocket and turn his head away, hiding his intention on what he was about to do next if she had not stopped him. Qin Yang took a step forward with her arms ahead of her, she frowns ” How am I going to walk to the car like this? You should have blindfolded me in the car.”

Without wasting a second, “Ah-” her feet are off the ground. Qin Yang felt warm around her waist, Jun Ting carefully adjust his arms so she does not fall off ” Let’s not waste any more time. ”

” You could have guided me with your arms. I can walk by myself” she mumbles to herself. Jun Ting overheard it and held in his laughter, pretending that he did not hear it ” What did you say? ”

Looking away in red, she crosses her arms across her chest ” Nothing ”

______________

Even though Qin Yang had the blindfold on her the whole time, she could not sleep till the car stopped. Playing with her fingers and humming to the tune played on the radio as she could not handle her excitement. Jun Ting occasionally smiles at her little actions and pats her head.

She did not know how long was the ride but when the car finally stops, she hurriedly unbuckles her seatbelt and wait for the door to open. Jun Ting held her hand and lead her out of the car, a familiar flower scent wafts up her nose.

She raises her eyebrow at the nostalgic scent, her fingers curl into his ” Ah Ting… Where are we? Can I take off my blindfold now? ”

” Just a little bit more ” Jun Ting makes sure to take short steps so that Qin Yang does not tire her legs. Qin Yang sighs, knowing she has to keep her excitement again till they stop. Hearing a metal door slide open, then Jun Ting raises her hand slightly ” Careful, there is a step here. ”

She nods and listens to his advice, raising her foot a bit higher, stepping into their arrived destination. ” We have arrived. You can take off your blindfold. ” Jun Ting lets go of her hand.

Qin Yang’s heart beat faster than usual, she removes the blindfold slowly and opens her eyes. She cups her mouth with her hands, the sight right in front of her made her heart warm. Around forty chairs were arranged in rows and each filled with someone, they stood up from their seats, one of them is Zhang Li Li, smiling at her with flowers in her arms.

The familiar stage was decorated with balloons and ribbons, a large banner across the wall with capitalized words. The hall looked exactly the same as 7 years ago, the same smell of wood from the varnished floor.

GRADUATION CEREMONY

Qin Yang turns towards the man beside her, she was speechless. The corner of his lips curled up, knowing he achieved the reaction he wanted from her. Jun Ting held her hand once more and led her towards the crowd.

They stop at a seat empty next to Zhang Li Li, it was the seat that was meant for her 7 years ago. Zhou Qin Yang tucks in her skirt under her knee and sat down, she looked at the familiar faces around her, some of them got married, some even have kids already. She wondered how Lee Jun Ting managed to gather the whole class together on this very day, her feelings right now is indescribable.

Qin Yang watch as Lee Jun Ting move to sit a few rows ahead of her, just as she remembered when they rehearsal 7 years ago for the actual day as they sit according to alphabetical order. An old man walks towards the podium and clears his throat ” Good morning, everyone. What a bummer, you have to see me again after so many years”

Everyone in the hall laughed at the man’s cheekiness, it was the former principal during their time in school, except for a few wrinkles on his forehead, he did not seem to change at all. On stage, there sat all the teachers that taught them before including the famous Mr.Kim, laughing along to the former’s jokes and stories.

After a long babble from the old man, he clears his throat once more ” Well let’s not listen to any more of my grandfather stories. Let’s now commence the ceremony. “
