On the night the party ended,
Zhou Chen received calls from two girls, Wu Yuxue and Liu Lei.
Wu Yuxue recounted how Zhou Ling had come to the gathering before noon. He wasn't surprised to hear Zhou Ling badmouth him in front of everyone; that ingrate was capable of anything.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time Zhou Ling had done something like smearing and spreading rumors; she had a history of it.
Zhou Chen thanked Wu Yuxue, but did not explain what had happened between him and Zhou Ling, because Wu Yuxue said frankly that she believed him and had never believed Zhou Ling's slander in the first place.
This surprised and touched Zhou Chen slightly.
Liu Lei called after Wu Yuxue, and went straight to the point, asking if he had a QQ number so she could add him to the classmates' group.
Zhou Chen wasn't very interested in joining the group. After all, three years had passed, and not everyone could be like Wu Yuxue and Wang Qiang, who didn't judge people with prejudice. There was no guarantee that someone wouldn't look down on him.
He doesn't like seeing that kind of scene, so he avoids it whenever possible.
However, Liu Lei was too persuasive, and in the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"I've brought Zhou Chen in, everyone give him a warm welcome."
Zhou Chen stared at his phone screen and realized that Liu Lei had added him to the group chat.
"Zhou Chen is here? That's great, welcome, welcome."
"applaud."
"Old classmate, this is Sun Hailong. Can we add each other as friends?"
"Old classmate, it's me, Chengcheng. We're not friends yet."
Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised to see more than a dozen friend requests appear in an instant. Everyone was very enthusiastic, which was not what he had imagined. They were either indifferent to him or sarcastic.
It seems he has a narrow perspective.
"Long time no see, hello old classmates."
Zhou Chen replied in the group and said hello.
Then, I accepted the friend request.
Wu Yuxue also added him?
Zhou Chen's expression flashed, and he clicked "agree." Besides Wu Yuxue, he also saw the application information of Wang Qiang and Zhang Dong, and the rest were some familiar yet unfamiliar names.
For some reason, he didn't see Lu Ye's friend request message. Perhaps Lu Ye was busy and hadn't checked his phone.
After thinking about it, he took the initiative to send a friend request.
As soon as I returned to the group chat, it was very lively. Many people came out to speak, talking about things from the past, especially about him.
He became the center of attention in the group chat.
At first, Zhou Chen was a little confused. Why did everyone in the group speak so nicely and praise him so much? It wasn't until someone asked him whether he wanted to become a member of the national team and win glory for the country, or continue to be a boss and do business, that he realized that some of his stories had already spread in the group.
No wonder there was no mockery or contempt.
That's because his brilliance is too overwhelming.
Of course, you can also look on the bright side: that is, none of the classmates in the group look at you differently.
Although the probability is very low, it's not impossible.
Since his story wasn't a secret in the group, Zhou Chen simply replied, "Only kids make choices; adults want it all."
"Wow, that's amazing! That's so true!"
"Yes, that's a very interesting statement. Old classmate, I just realized you have a sense of humor."
"Hehe, Zhou Chen, you're being a bit greedy. But you're right, if it were me, I'd choose them all too, haha... Only a fool would give up one thing, it's only human nature."
One memorable quote sparked a flurry of comments in the group chat.
Wu Yuxue was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhou Chen's words, but then the corners of her mouth turned up and she couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, she was amused.
She felt that the statement was philosophical, quite realistic, and very interesting.
After three years apart, she noticed a significant change in Zhou Chen.
These changes were things she had never seen before.
At least, the Zhou Chen of the past wasn't as witty and humorous as she is now. She has to admit that this version of Zhou Chen is more charming and attractive.
Thinking back to what Liu Lei had said during the day,
At this moment, Wu Yuxue felt a sense of anticipation, looking forward to spending time alone with someone.
I don't know how much time has passed.
When Wu Yuxue's gaze returned to her phone screen, she saw that people in the group were tagging Zhao Kai, demanding that he apologize.
Seeing this, she smiled.
Her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
On the other end,
Zhou Chen had just learned that Zhao Kai had been belittling him in various ways and had even said in the group that if he ever made something of himself, he would apologize in public and write his name backwards. As a result, he was thoroughly humiliated by Liu Lei, Wang Qiang, Zhang Dong, and others.
He had a deep impression of Zhao Kai because Zhao Kai was one of the few people he didn't get along with. He knew that the main reason for their bad relationship was that Zhao Kai had failed in his pursuit of Wu Yuxue and regarded him as a rival in love.
However, at that time, Zhao Kai was not good at studying and was completely outclassed by him in terms of grades. He tried to regain his face by playing basketball, but was once again outclassed by him.
After that, they became sworn enemies.
After being suspended from school, I heard from classmates that Zhao Kai had been gloating. Now, relying on his family's money, he's still chasing after him. He deserves to be humiliated.
"Am I destined to be at odds with that guy surnamed Zhao?"
Zhou Chen thought about how Zhao Kun and Zhao Kai didn't get along, as if he were incompatible with people surnamed Zhao.
at the same time,
Zhao Kai, who was taking a walk on the beach, looked at the group chat on his phone with a gloomy expression that was almost palpable.
Seeing Zhou Chen join the group, he was very popular and the discussion was lively.
Compared to himself, who was disliked and ridiculed, Zhao Kai was filled with jealousy that was about to explode. Why was Zhou Chen so popular while he was the laughingstock?
I thought Zhou Chen had dropped out of school and gotten nowhere in the past three years.
As a result, he was thoroughly humiliated. Zhou Chen was richer than his family and had achieved both fame and fortune. It was so unfair! His family worked hard from dawn till dusk selling seafood to reach their current status. Why should Zhou Chen get away with that? And what was with that stinky tofu? Was it really that delicious?
"I'm not apologizing."
"You'll be so angry!"
"A bunch of snobs and opportunists. Sooner or later when I'm rich, I'll make you regret joining the wrong side and speak up for me."
Zhao Kai was furious at those who sided with Zhou Chen, because just recently, some of them had been fawning over him, but now they were all trying to curry favor with Zhou Chen. It was disgusting.
However,
Just as Zhao Kai was feeling indignant, some classmates said hurtful things to him, such as accusing him of pretending to be mute, blind, and unreliable, forcing him to apologize in the group chat.
Seeing this scene,
In a fit of anger, Zhao Kai left the group.
"I'm quitting. I'd rather die than apologize."
"What can you do to me!"
Standing on the beach, facing the rising tide, Zhao Kai snorted, then felt smug about leaving the group.
But before he could even gloat for three seconds,
My foot slipped, and the phone slipped from my hand, rolled twice on the ground, then rolled down the stone steps, finally falling into the sea with a splash, like a pebble.
