Chapter 37
Chapter 37
I don’t know if I was brainwashed by Shen Ye.
When Shu Yao woke up in the morning, she found herself hugging his arm and shamelessly putting her hand on his abdominal muscles.
What was even more speechless was that she found herself not surprised at all.
She even began to doubt herself, wondering if she was really so obsessed with Chen Ye's abdominal muscles that she subconsciously did such an outrageous thing in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, Shen Ye hasn't woken up yet.
Shu Yao secretly pulled his hand back, but found a red mark on his arm caused by his forehead.
I wanted to reach out and rub him, but just when I got halfway, I quickly pulled my hand back.
Forget it. If she wakes him up, he will probably say that her obsession with him has evolved from his abdominal muscles to his biceps.
She lay down very quietly, pretending that nothing had happened.
She took the phone from the bedside table and saw that Zhao Tiantian had sent her the location information early in the morning. Then she remembered that today was the day for a class reunion.
Shu Yao was very familiar with the gathering place, which was "Meet Again".
Considering that the party was on an AA basis and everyone's financial conditions were different, the venue booked last year was relatively affordable, so Shu Yao was quite surprised by this. Before entering the bar that night, he asked casually.
Zhao Tiantian twirled the car keys in her hand and said matter-of-factly, "Everyone voted. Maybe there weren't so many people here this time, so everyone voted. Didn't you vote?"
"..." Shu Yao was stunned. "I didn't see any voting."
"It's okay." Zhao Tiantian took her hand and walked inside, but didn't touch anything familiar. She looked down and said, "Hey? Why aren't you wearing a ring today?"
It’s not that Shu Yao forgot today, he did it on purpose.
"Do you remember last year? Jiang Yayun was interrogated from start to finish because she wore a ring on her ring finger. They almost asked about the man's entire ancestry. I don't want to repeat this tragedy."
Zhao Tiantian burst into laughter: "That's right, if they knew that the person you married was Chen Ye, I think you don't need to go back tonight, they can gossip until tomorrow morning."
The two of them crossed the dance floor and went straight to the second floor.
There really weren't many people coming this time, and now that they were all here, there were only eight of them.
In addition to Shu Yao and Zhao Tiantian, there were three boys and three girls in the box. Some of them had met last year, some were strangers, and some had met not long ago, such as Qian Haosen, who focused on selling insurance.
Seeing the two people push the door open, the squad leader stood up and greeted them enthusiastically: "Tiantian! Yaoyao! You're late, so you have to drink a penalty."
Zhao Tiantian proudly took a can of beer from the table and said, "Okay, I'll drink it for her."
As he said this, he gulped down half of it.
Shu Yao took the beer can away from her at the right time.
"Tiantian still has such a good alcohol tolerance." The squad leader gave her a thumbs up.
Zhao Tiantian looked around: "Why did you book the smallest private room?"
The monitor said helplessly, "We're lucky we were able to book this. School has just started, and all the freshmen are letting themselves go. You know what, kids these days are really rich. When we were in school, we wouldn't have been willing to go to such an expensive place."
Zhao Tiantian: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have connections."
"What connections?"
"Um..." Feeling someone gently pinch her arm, Zhao Tiantian immediately changed her tone, "The wife of my previous previous previous previous previous flirtation, does that count as a connection?"
Many students remembered what happened between Xu Zhaoli and Zhao Tiantian. They joked about it a few times and then let it go.
The squad leader asked them to sit down. Qian Haosen was on Shu Yao's left. The space was limited and their arms were almost touching. Shu Yao was not used to it and moved closer to Zhao Tiantian.
Qian Haosen didn't notice her actions. He just wanted to help them pour water enthusiastically, but found that there were only six cups on the table: "Squad leader, there are not enough cups."
"I'll go call the waiter." The squad leader opened the door and only said half of the word "waiter" before suddenly speaking in surprise, "Chen Ye?!"
Shu Yao suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
Before she left, she had mentioned to Chen Ye that there was a class reunion in the evening, but she didn't mention where it was. Unexpectedly, he would come as well.
Chen Ye, wearing a simple black T-shirt and gray casual pants, walked over and shook hands with the squad leader. His eyes swept across the box, and Shu Yao noticed that his gaze seemed to pause on her.
"What a coincidence!" The squad leader pulled him into the private room and slapped his head in frustration: "Damn, I forgot you're one of the owners of this bar. If I had known earlier, I would have contacted you to get in through the back door when I made the reservation."
No one present had not heard of the name Shen Ye.
Seeing him after so many years, those who were a little socially anxious could only look at him curiously, while those who were more outgoing, such as Qian Haosen, had already walked over and started chatting with him.
“Brother Chen, please sit down for a while. We didn’t have a chance to chat for long at the wedding last time. This time, we must sit down and chat for a while.”
"Okay." Chen Ye didn't refuse. He walked around the coffee table and sat down at Qian Haosen's original position. With his legs slightly open, he leaned back leisurely, "What are you talking about?"
Maybe, he wants to talk to you about insurance.
Shu Yao answered silently in his heart.
Qian Haosen didn't care when he saw that his seat was taken. He sat on Shen Ye's left, but before he could speak, the topic was taken away by the person next to him.
"We were just talking about how hard it is to book your private room; it's all been reserved by college freshmen," a girl asked curiously, holding a piece of watermelon. "Hey? What did you do back then? I remember after I got my acceptance letter, I was so excited I rushed downstairs and bought two skewers of lamb."
"I was rewarded with 500 yuan, and I immediately rushed to the barber shop to get a perm."
"You guys who did well in the exam are so lucky. People like me who didn't receive any, cried at home all night." Qian Haosen said.
Someone joked, "I didn't see you taking grades so seriously back then."
Qian Haosen took a sip of beer and said with a sad face, "My dad beat me up, my butt hurts."
Everyone laughed.
Qian Haosen turned his head, probably knowing that Shen Ye did not study at a university in China, so he walked past him and asked Shu Yao: "Yaoyao, what did you do after getting the admission letter?"
Shu Yao thought for a moment and said, "I didn't seem to do anything, but I was quite happy. Then I secretly drank a cup of milk tea from my own small supermarket."
"Luckily, you chose Fu Jen Catholic University in the end," Qian Haosen said with emotion. "If you had really followed your original plan and applied to Luobei University, it would have been such a shame."
Shen Ye leaned lazily against the back of the sofa, his arms resting on his open thighs, holding an open can of beer in his hand, tapping it carelessly with his index finger, turning his head to look at her, and uttered four words lightly and slowly.
"Luo, Bei, University?"
Shu Yao didn't care at first, but when she heard the slightly rising tone of his voice, she remembered something. She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything in front of everyone.
The others echoed, "That's right, Yaoyao. When I asked you about Luobei University, I almost wanted to knock you on the head. Going to a university that's completely unworthy of your college entrance exam score just for a man like Zhou Beichuan, what kind of love-brained thing is that?"
"Me too. Later I heard that you two broke up before the application deadline and you changed your choice. I was so happy."
"..." Shu Yao was completely at a loss for words.
The topic quickly changed. When Zhou Beichuan was mentioned, someone else jumped out: "But you're right, I heard Zhou Beichuan is doing pretty well now. It seems he's entered the entertainment industry."
"He has such a big scar on his face, and he's in the entertainment industry?"
"You're crazy! The entertainment industry isn't just about celebrities. He seems to have become a manager now. I heard the celebrities he manages are very popular now. He probably makes a lot of money too."
“Bang—”
A sound, neither loud nor soft, interrupted everyone's gossip.
Shen Ye put the beer can in his hand on the coffee table, stood up slowly and said, "You guys chat, I still have something to deal with."
The ring on the ring finger reflected a bright silver light under the light. The squad leader was the first to notice this: "Hey? Chen Ye, you have a girlfriend? Your ring is quite special. What's the pattern on it?"
"We're married." Chen Ye glanced down and said lightly, "The ocean pattern was made by my wife herself."
Shu Yao: “…”
You still don’t know your place if you’ve never participated in one. Shu Yao felt sorry for him for a second.
As expected, after a commotion, everyone's attention was focused on Shen Ye.
But at this moment, Shu Yao felt as if someone was looking at him.
She looked over and saw Jiang Yayun sitting in the corner with a high ponytail. Jiang Yayun noticed her looking back and quickly looked away. She picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
Why is Jiang Yayun looking at her?
Could it be that her relationship with Shen Ye has been exposed?
Before Shu Yao could figure it out, he heard the squad leader ask excitedly, "Who is my sister-in-law? Do we know each other?"
Shen Ye was not bothered by the gossip at all. He put one hand in his pocket and chuckled, "I know him."
"Oh my god! Who is that?" The people around him were even more curious. "Is he from our high school?"
Shen Ye: “Yeah.”
"Is that the same class as yours?"
"No." He spoke slowly, and I don't know if it was intentional.
Everyone was discussing it with great interest.
Shu Yao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Regarding the official announcement of her marriage to Chen Ye, Shu Yao used to think that the two would definitely divorce in the future. The fewer people knew about it, the less trouble there would be after the divorce, so she never thought about taking the initiative to make an official announcement.
But now, to be fair, she doesn't seem to mind letting outsiders know that they are husband and wife.
However, there are many ways to make an official announcement, and she doesn't want to be watched and interrogated like a monkey in a circus in such an occasion, even though Shu Yao knows that they have no ill intentions.
So, using her body as a cover, she secretly poked Shen Ye's lower back with her index finger, trying to remind him to shut up.
The next second, the fingers were suddenly wrapped in warmth.
Shen Ye actually took advantage of the dim light in the box, reached behind his back, and grabbed her restless index finger.
Shu Yao seemed to be pressed down by the Five Finger Mountain, and he couldn't move at all.
Chen Ye, on the other hand, knew when to stop. When he released his right hand, he said goodbye to the others again as if nothing had happened: "Okay, if you really have something to do, I'll leave first."
Everyone felt regretful, but no one dared to try to stop him.
Shu Yao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Even though they were all monkeys, their fates were different. Some monkeys were forced to perform in the circus, while some monkeys were free to rule the mountains.
After Shen Ye left, everyone discussed who he had married even more unscrupulously.
"I just asked him if they were in the same class, and he said no, which means they must be from the same class!"
"You're quite clever. You even managed to set a trap."
"Chen Ye's wife must be a beauty too. Who is pretty in our class?"
Qian Haosen pointed at Shu Yao: "Shu Yao."
"cough."
Shu Yao, who was drinking water, was choked by his words. She coughed a few times, but before she could figure out how to get out of the situation, Qian Haosen's words had already been refuted.
"Don't joke, I'm serious!" The girl said mysteriously, "I thought of a beautiful girl, from the same grade as Chen Ye but in a different class, and they're a perfect match. She even got married recently. Doesn't this make all the difference?"
"Who is it?"
"Feng, Yun, Wan."
Shu Yao: “…”
"puff--"
An inappropriate laugh interrupted everyone's reasoning. Except for Shu Yao, everyone looked at Zhao Tiantian tacitly.
Zhao Tiantian suppressed a smile and waved her hands, "It's okay, it's okay. I just suddenly remembered a joke I heard half a year ago, and the more I think about it, the funnier it gets."
The girl didn't care, she slammed the table and said with a firm face: "Do you think it makes sense?"
Another boy echoed: "The Feng family and the Shen family are indeed a good match, and aren't Shen Ye and Feng Yunwan's younger brother friends? This is brothers becoming brothers-in-law."
Shu Yao sat silently in the corner, holding the cup in both hands, and gently stroking the wall of the cup with his right thumb.
Because of Chen Ye's sudden appearance, the party had no shortage of topics. They talked about Chen Ye, then various influential figures in the school, and then about their high school life and their current work.
Shu Yao rarely interrupted from beginning to end.
Nearing the end, she put down the cup, got up and went to the bathroom.
When I came out, I saw Jiang Yayun putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
Shu Yao smiled at her and walked to the faucet to wash her hands. Warm water flowed through her fingers. Amidst the sound of water, she heard Jiang Yayun's almost sympathetic words of comfort: "Don't be sad. You missed it, and there's nothing you can do about it."
?
Shu Yao looked at her in confusion: "What did you say?"
"Chen Ye." Jiang Yayun patted her shoulder. "I can see that your face hasn't been very good since you heard him say he was getting married, but who told you to choose Zhou Beichuan at that time?"
"..." Shu Yao became more and more confused as he listened, "No, I..."
"Oh——" Jiang Yayun sighed regretfully, but the next sentence made Shu Yao dazed and stood there in a daze.
"Thinking back then, Chen Ye liked you so much. If you had chosen him then, you might be the rich wife now."
