Chapter 70 Chapter 70 "You are good just the way you are."...
"Li Huanhuan."
Suddenly, someone called her from behind.
Li Huanhuan turned around and found a boy wearing a thin blue jacket. The boy was about 1.8 meters tall and looked a little thin, with regular and delicate features, and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose.
"Zhou Xun?"
Li Huanhuan recognized the boy who was talking.
"You still remember me." Zhou Xun smiled.
"Of course." Li Huanhuan asked doubtfully.
Zhou Xun was the math class representative in high school and sat in the row behind her. He is tall and thin, usually quiet and doesn't talk too much. He is good at math, and surprisingly, he is also good at basketball.
I remember that during a high school competition, Li Huanhuan was asked to cheer him on.
After Li Huanhuan gave an affirmative answer, a smile flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.
"How are you doing now?" Zhou Xun asked her.
In the private room, someone noticed Zhou Xun going to look for Li Huanhuan.
They gathered together and whispered:
"Zhou Xun still likes Li Huanhuan?"
"Ah? When did it happen?"
"Don't you remember when we were in high school? I heard that I was planning to confess to her after graduation..."
Some people were talking about gossip from the past.
Old gossip can always bring fresh excitement to this group of people who are tortured by life and are about to enter middle age.
But soon, someone said:
"They look like a perfect match. But unfortunately, doesn't Li Huanhuan already have a husband? There's no hope for Zhou Xun."
"That may not be the case. Didn't you hear what Mao Xin said before? Li Huanhuan's husband is lame and blind. Maybe there is still hope for Zhou Xun."
"Hope? That's also a second marriage."
"What's wrong with a second marriage? Even if you're not married, you can't guarantee..."
…
The latter part seems dirty.
Considering the presence of female classmates, they all dropped the topic.
"Zhou Xun, are you still single?" Mao Xin interrupted, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Zhou Xun turned his head and said in a lighter tone: "Yes."
“What a pity.”
After listening to this, Mao Xin sighed and shook his head with regret.
"What a pity?" asked Wang Nana who was sitting next to them.
"pity……"
Mao Xin's gaze fell on Li Huanhuan and she smiled meaningfully, "Unfortunately, Li Huanhuan is no longer single."
Li Huanhuan didn't expect Mao Xin to suddenly talk about her and was stunned for a moment.
But Mao Xin’s eyes made her very uncomfortable. What does it have to do with her whether Zhou Xun is single or not? Soon, Li Huanhuan sensed something wrong from Mao Xin's ambiguous eyes.
Could it be that Mao Xin thought there was something going on between her and Zhou Xun?
How ridiculous!
"Mao Xin, this seems to have nothing to do with you." Zhou Xun, who was behind Li Huanhuan, spoke in a cold voice.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, no one likes to be made fun of in public by strangers.
"Haha, what did I say? I'm just concerned about my old classmates." Mao Xin was refuted in public and became angry and embarrassed.
"It's just that I heard that Li Huanhuan's old..."
"Ahem, alright, it's rare for us to get together, so let's talk less."
…
Someone came out to smooth things over.
Li Huanhuan felt a little uncomfortable.
I just thought that my former teacher was there and I didn’t want to make things too awkward, so I endured it. But then I felt like someone in the crowd just said “what’s her old thing”? Let her care a little.
Because of Mao Xin's gossip, Zhou Xun didn't feel comfortable continuing to talk to Li Huanhuan.
The party continues.
In the middle of the class, the head teacher received a call from home and had to leave early because of something. After the head teacher left, the private room became more lively.
Li Huanhuan couldn't stand this kind of excitement.
I told the person next to me that I wanted to go to the bathroom, and came out with my bag.
After coming out, she stood in front of the window at the corner of the corridor. The cool wind blowing in from outside woke her dizzy head.
Suddenly, Li Huanhuan asked himself, why did I come?
"Li Huanhuan."
A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Li Huanhuan turned around and saw Xiao Di also coming out.
"How have you been these years?" Xiao Di asked.
"Yeah." Li Hao fantasized about it and nodded.
"His personality has changed a lot from before." Xiao Di said.
In the past, Li Huanhuan was not as playful as the rest of them, but she was still lively and cheerful, with eyes full of vitality. But Li Huanhuan in front of him, although it seems that she is living a good life, especially the valuable jade bracelet on her wrist, shows that she now has a rich life.
However, he is a little too lazy and seems to have no fighting spirit. Sometimes he feels like a salted fish, and sometimes he looks like a ball of dough that can be kneaded by anyone. He is so easy to bully.
"You can't allow yourself to become lazy and lose your fighting spirit just because life is good," Xiao Di added.
"ah?"
Li Huanhuan came back to his senses and asked, "Are you having a good life?"
Xiao Di thought she was hiding it from him on purpose, and pointed to the jade bracelet on her hand: "This alone is enough to buy several houses in the center of City C."
"What?" Li Huanhuan lowered his head and looked at the bracelet on his wrist in shock.
Didn’t Jiaojiao say that this was just a small bauble from her collection, lent to her as a decoration and wasn’t worth anything at all? How is that possible?
Then, Li Huanhuan thought of the jade necklace that Qin Shi lent her when she and Qin Shi attended their predecessor's wedding.
"Why is it here again?" she whispered.
"I understand you too. After all, your husband..." Xiao Di.
"husband?"
Li Huanhuan was bewildered.
Seeing this, Xiao Di told her what happened when she was not there.
What?
Mao Xin actually mistook Qin Shi for her husband? And he was given a character that was "lame and blind"? ! No wonder everyone looked at her strangely in the private room just now, as if they were hesitant to speak, with sympathy and complicated feelings.
Li Huanhuan came back to his senses and the previous strangeness was explained.
"He is not my husband, and he is not blind or lame," Li Huanhuan explained.
"ah?"
Xiao Di was surprised.
"never mind."
Li Huanhuan shook his head, thought for a moment, and said to Xiao Di, "I remembered that I have something else to do, so I have to leave first and will not go in. If anyone asks, please help me explain."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Di came back to his senses and nodded, "Add WeChat."
Li Huanhuan took out his mobile phone and scanned the other party’s QR code.
By the way, he sent a message to Qin Shi: "Where are you now?"
Qin Shi was sitting in a nearby restaurant eating boredly with Dongfang Jiao and his friends. Therefore, when Li Huanhuan sent the message, Qin Shi replied immediately.
Then, he put away his phone and said to Dongfang Jiao, "Let's go."
"Sister Huan, have you finished eating?" Dongfang Jiao asked.
Qin Shi hummed, took the crutch beside him, and stood up from his seat with his arm.
Dongfang Jiao also wiped his mouth, stood up, and said goodbye to his friend sitting opposite him.
The place where they had dinner was not far from Magnolia Pavilion. Not long after Li Huanhuan went downstairs, a black sedan slowly stopped by the roadside.
"Sister Huan, here!" The car window rolled down, Dongfang Jiao leaned over and waved at her.
Li Huanhuan, carrying a bag, strode towards them.
Just at this moment, Zhou Xun came out of the private room and saw Xiao Di standing at the corner of the corridor.
"Where is Li Huanhuan?" Zhou Xun asked.
"Downstairs." Xiao Di stood by the window, looking outside.
Zhou Xun walked up to her and looked down along the line of sight, just in time to see Li Huanhuan walking up to the black car. She was about to open the passenger door and get in, then the person sitting in the back seemed to call her, so she stopped and went around to the back door. The rear window rolled down, and a bony hand stretched out from inside and rubbed Li Huanhuan's head.
Li Huanhuan did not dodge, but just paused for a moment, then returned to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.
From the perspective on the second floor, it is not clear what the person interacting with Li Huanhuan in the back row looks like. One can only judge from his body shape and the outstretched finger bones that he should be a male, and a young and well-built man.
Before the car window was closed, the person sitting in the back seat seemed to raise his head and glance at the second-floor window of Magnolia Pavilion.
The car drove away.
"Who is that?" Xiao Di asked.
Zhou Xun didn't say anything.
Xiao Di continued: "The car also looks very valuable. Li Huanhuan has indeed become a rich woman."
After saying that, she remembered Zhou Xun who was standing next to her, and asked, "You just asked Li Huanhuan, what do you want to talk to her about?"
Zhou Xun frowned and retracted his gaze from outside, but the scene he saw emerged in his mind, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes: "Nothing, not particularly important."
Dongfang Jiao drove Li Huanhuan and Qin Shi back to the community and left.
The bracelet and bag she "lent" to Li Huanhuan were also returned by Li Huanhuan.
"Why were you so quiet along the way?"
At Li Huanhuan's house, Qin Shi found an excuse to stay. At this moment, he was standing in front of Li Huanhuan with his head tilted, leaning on a cane, carefully observing her reaction, "Were you bullied at the class reunion? I told you, if someone bullies you, call me immediately."
"no……"
Li still fantasized about denying it, but when he saw the worry in Qin Shi’s dark eyes, he changed his mind and said, “I am a little unhappy, but I can handle it.”
“Oh, I see.”
Qin Shi raised his head, his expression noticeably relaxed.
"Thank you." Li Huanhuan looked at him.
"Thank me for what?" Qin Shi wondered.
"You asked Jiao Jiao to help me put on makeup and dress up, and also to buy me that very expensive bracelet and that valuable bag."
As Li Huanhuan continued to talk, the confusion on Qin Shi's face gradually faded. "Also, the car that Jiaojiao drove today... These should be for me to go to the class reunion to show off, right? Because they were afraid that I would be bullied."
Li Huanhuan felt somewhat complicated.
She herself hadn't thought of these things, but Qin Shi thought of them for her. Obviously, she is the older one in this relationship.
"Li Huanhuan——"
Qin Shi suddenly clamped the crutch between his armpits, then freed his two hands, held Li Huanhuan's cheeks, forced her to raise her head, and looked into her eyes.
"What?"
Li Huanhuan's voice was a little out of tune.
Qin Shi stared at her and said, "I was wrong. You don't need packaging, you don't need those external things, boring embellishments, you are good the way you are."
"Ah?" Li Huanhuan.
"From now on, just be yourself and don't make any changes because of what I say. If you don't like makeup, don't wear it. If you don't like luxury goods, don't wear them. If you don't like high heels or socializing, don't do it on purpose."
Qin Shi looked at her and said, "My love for you should bring you happiness and joy, not make you change or make decisions for you."
Li Huanhuan looked at him in surprise.
"Li Huanhuan, I was wrong this time." Qin Shi lowered his head and rested his forehead on Li Huanhuan's shoulder. His voice sounded muffled and a little annoyed.
The glass cabinet next to it reflected the images of two people.
Li Huanhuan raised his hand, paused his fingers in the air, and then dropped them on Qin Shi's shoulder: "I understand. Then you, let me go first."
"Why? Are you angry with me?" Qin Shi pretended to be pitiful.
Li Huanhuan looked at her reflection on the glass cabinet and smiled, "No. You're right. I don't like to wear makeup, so now I'm going to the bathroom to remove the makeup on my face."
