Harborbrook Fifth High School <b>had </b>a long history. If traced back, it started as a girls‘ school during the mid–twentieth century.
Over time, it underwent many changes and was eventually managed by the government and renamed Harborbrook Fifth High School.
It had a history spanning over a hundred years.
Daphne had already called her about this matterst month, emphasizing that the one–hundred–and- thirtieth anniversary of the school’s founding was a significant event.
Their ex–ss representative called everyone early on to <b>notify </b>them, urging all who coulde back to make an effort.
After all, most of the teachers who had taught them were nearing retirement, and this might be thest major <b>event </b>they could participate in together.
Lysander attended the school for six years, three in middle school and three in high school, and <b>had </b>fond memories of every part of it.
When she arrived, Daphne had already been waiting at the school gate for a while.
Upon meeting. Daphneined, “Not having a car is so inconvenient. It takes me just ten minutes to drive here from home, but today, it took nearly an hour by bus!”
Lysander asked, “Why didn’t you take a taxi?”
Daphne chuckled, “I’m trying to <b>save </b>money. The money Ms. Lionhart gave me has to be spent wisely. I can’t betray her trust! By the way, did the ss representative tell you that you’re supposed to give a speech <b>as </b>an <b>outstanding </b>alumna<b>?</b><b>”</b>
“Not only did the ss representative tell me, <b>but </b>Mr. Calderon also sent me a message.”
Feeling proud, Daphne put her arm around Lysander’s shoulders. “Who could me them? Back then, Mr. Owen liked you the most. He always said you were a good candidate for Harfush University or Apex University. Who knew that incident would happen? It’s my fault. I dragged you down. Otherwise<b>, </b>you would <b>have </b>gone to Apex University.”
“You can’t really put it that way. Sometimes, it’s just like they say, life’s full of unexpected turns. Remember <b>when </b>you <b>were </b>so distraught, one moment wanting to jump off a building, the next off into the sea? I had to keep a close eye on you. I couldn’t just stand by and let you harm yourself, could I?*
Daphne whimpered, “Lysander, I’ve always felt guilty about it over the years. In some way, it was because of me <b>that </b><b>you</b>…
“It’s been over ten years. Talking about it now is pointless. Besides, I like studying medicine. Even if I had gotten into Apex University, I would have probably gone to medical school, and I’d still end up as a doctor. Different <b>paths </b>lead to the samé destination.”
Hearing this, Daphne felt a bit better<b>.</b>
They strolled leisurely along the campus paths.

However, Lysander was reminded of something.

H’asn‘? Josiah an undergraduate at Apex University? He wanted to go to university <i>in </i>Apez City with Lysanne, so he didn’t choose to study abroad. Yet, he <b>stayed</b>, and Lysanne left. She not only left but also got married and had children abroad. How did he feel when he heard the news<b>?</b>
Daphne walked toward the academic building, feeling nostalgic. “We never had such luck during our school days. Having a day off for the school celebration! Look at these windows and doors; they’re all new.”
“Yeah, students now have it much better than we did.”
Just then, a middle–aged man with a slight bald <b>patch </b>called out to them, “Lysander, Harper!”
Lysander instinctively responded<b>, </b>“Mr. Calderon.”
Daphne nudged her. “He’s the principal now.”
Lysander was a bit surprised but thought it made sense.
Throughout his life, <b>Noah </b>Calderon had dedicated himself to educating others. With ample experience and a strong reputation, he was unquestionably qualified to <b>take </b>on the role of a principal.
“Mr. Calderon,”
Noahughed heartily. “It’s been many years. You became a doctor, so why can’t I get promoted?”
“Of course, you were already a state–level outstanding teacher back then. Bing a principal was just a matter of time<b>,”</b>
“Tsk 1sk, Lysander, you used to be such a quiet kid. I haven’t seen you in years, and you’ve learned to tter like a pro
Lysander spread her hands and <b>said</b>, “Mr. Calderon, you may not be aware, but the rtionship between doctors and patients is currently strained. Being a doctor requires emotional intelligence these days.”
Noahughed even more heartily. “Oh, you, Lysander. It’s perfect timing that you’re back. I need you to help me out here and guide your junior ssmates. The college entrance exams are fast approaching, <b>and </b>all they seem to care about is having fun. It’s stressing me out to the point where my hair’s turning white.”
“Mr. Calderon, you said the same thing when we were in our senior year. Your hair is still quite ck after all these years.”
Noah whispered, “It’s dyed. My wife insisted I do it to look younger.”
Lysander nodded earnestly. “Mr
Calderon is right.”
“Okay, stop ttering my wife. Get ready to show these kids what our outstanding alumni can do!”
The celebration ceremony was for the whole school. Since the auditorium couldn’t hold everyone, it was held on the school’srgest synthetic field. All the hosts and speakers on stage were outstanding alumni.
On stage, from the host to the guest speakers, all roles were filled by distinguished alumni.
When it was Lysander’s turn to take the stage, it elicited a wave of gasps from the audience below.

The previous alumni speakers were either worn–out programmers or middle–aged businessmen, all sessful in their fields but not very engaging to the students.
Finally, a young, beautiful alumma appeared, instantly captivating everyone, especially the male alumni in the front row, who started to stir<b>.</b>
“Which batch is this beauty from?”
“One year below us. I know her. She was a famous genius in high school.”
“Is she married? Is she married?”
“If she’s one year below us, she isn’t that young anymore. And she’s so pretty, so I guess she’s probably already <b>taken</b>.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Daphne happened to be seated in the row closest to the students. When Lysander <b>got </b>onto the stage, she pped even more enthusiastically.
She even stoked their curiosity. “She’s single now.”
Themotion grew louder.
Feeling delighted, Daphne gave Lysander a thumbs–up,
Lysander was dressed simply, her face bare of any makeup. Her long hair was casually draped over her back. When she stood on the stage, she didn’t seem much older <b>than </b><b>the </b>high school student passing the microphone.
After thanking them with a slight smile, she began her speech in a manner entirely different from the previous few <b>alumni</b>.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lysander Thorne, I graduated from Harborbrook Fifth High School ten years ago and went on to study at Harborbrook Medical University. I am now working in the obstetrics and gynecology department at Central Hospital”
Harborbrook Medical University was one of the best in the city, and its medical program was notoriouslypetitive. Combined with the prestigious Central Hospital, her credentials were immediately impressive.
Earlier, the high school students who were discussing her appearance simultaneously let out a collective “wow“,
Noah led the apuse from below the stage.
Lysander had memorized her speech by heart and began to improvise a bit.
“Today, upon my return here, apart from noticing the changes in the school, my greatest reward has been meeting <b>so </b>many charming juniors. I’m sure everyone here is working hard <b>for </b>a better future. Of course, <b>at </b>your stage, effort is the most important way <b>to </b>get closer to your <b>dreams</b><b>.</b>”
The students sighed in disappointment at the clichéd advice.
“I <b>thought </b>this senior would say something different, but it’s the same old stuff.”
“All the alumni who spoke today <b>were </b>invited by Mr. Calderon. What else could you possibly expect from

the people he invites?”
“Tch, boring…

Just as the students were about to politely apud, Lysander changed the course of the conversation.
“However. I don’t believe there’s only one path to a better future. While studying is important, there are many other things in life. It’s crucial to pursue a life you aspire to <b>and </b>work in a field you love. That’s also pretty cool.”
This time, without Noah leading, the students spontaneously apuded Lysander. A bold male student in the crowd eximed, “You’re right! I want to be an excellent esports yer and <b>lead </b>Ecron to the top of the world!”
Lysander nced in his direction and smiled. “I didn’t mean you can ck off and do whatever you want now. I just want everyone to know that the time you spend striving for your dreams during your student days is the most wonderful memory of life.”
“Results are the most honest. <b>You </b>reap what you sow. But humans are emotional creatures. If you lose happiness, then even a life of hard <b>work </b>will be painful. Learning is like the digits zero and one, meaningful only when following other numbers”
The senior students in their final year were tired of hearing their various teachers nagging every day. They immediately apuded when they heard such vivid metaphors from Lysander.
Daphne quickly captured her shining moment on stage in a video and recorded some cheers from her ssmates, then promptly posted it on her Instagram.
Her caption read: Who knows which lucky guy will have this honor in the future? I’ll fight him to the death!
As soon as she refreshed, Zane, who was active online,mented.
Zane: Can I sign up on behalf of Josiah first?
Daphne replied immediately: Where’s my knife?
