After Xia Qing's performance, another group went up to perform, followed by the students from the second liberal arts class.
This pattern repeated until all the classes had performed, which took about one and a half hours.
Latter, several teachers took the stage to perform, and by the time everyone had finished, it was almost five o'clock.
Finally, it was time for the school leaders to deliver closing remarks, and only after they had finished their speeches did the graduation ceremony for Changle Second Middle School's senior year come to an end.
Back in the classroom, the homeroom teacher spoke a few more words, and then everyone went home.
They now just needed to wait for the results, which would be released on June 22, still eleven days away. Then, they could check their scores online and fill in their university preferences.
On the way back, Xia Qing was still walking with him, chatting and laughing.
