Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 316

Bonnie's graduation project was awarded an 'Excellent' mark, and she even snagged the university-level Outstanding Thesis Award.

It was the perfect capstone to her master's journey.

She spent three days finding an apartment near the university—a classic Oasinia-style historic house filled mostly with young renters.

The previous tenant was getting married and moving into a new place with her fiancé, so she left behind plenty of useful furniture and appliances for Bonnie.

They were a couple who really knew how to live; even though it was a rental, they had put immense care into decorating and renovating it.

Bonnie had looked at several places—historic houses, modern condos, standard apartments—and ultimately settled on this one.

She absolutely loved the window in the bedroom. Pushing it open every morning revealed a canopy of trees, the vibrant green guaranteed to brighten her mood.

Once the previous tenants finished packing, she could move right in.

Bonnie took some time to pack up her dorm room. Looking at the suddenly empty space, a wave of nostalgia washed over her.

She was just absentmindedly stroking the succulent on her desk when the door was pushed open.

Yvonne, dressed in her blue and black master's gown, was beaming broadly. "Come on, let's go take pictures! I need to wrap this up so I can pick my parents up from the train station. They get in at two."

Bonnie laughed, grabbing her graduation cap. She put it on and walked out with Yvonne.

Shirley and Bachelor were originally supposed to attend her ceremony, but Shirley had been proudly drafted to grade the national college entrance exams, making her absence unavoidable.

So, she and her mother mutually agreed to tell Bachelor to stay home, too.

Bonnie didn't push the subject, chatting and laughing with Yvonne as they met up with the rest of their classmates.

They had hired a professional photographer. Yvonne dragged Bonnie around to strike endless poses. Thankfully, it was overcast without a glaring sun, or Bonnie was certain she would have melted into a puddle after a whole morning of photos.

Perry whisked Yvonne away at noon, leaving Bonnie to take photos with her other classmates until well past four, when she finally headed to the ceremony.

It had been drizzling continuously lately, leaving the grass and the running track completely soaked. Bonnie felt her heels sinking right into the turf with every step.

The ceremony kicked off at five. The field was buzzing with excitement, screens flashing montages of photos and videos as the hosts corralled the students to their seats.

Not long after Bonnie sat down, Yvonne arrived. Drops of rain began falling from the sky again, but it was light enough that none of the graduates bothered with umbrellas.

It felt fitting for a season of farewells—as if the heavens themselves were weeping.
