I thought that after so much time had passed, Li Shanman would at least give me a polite smile when she saw me.kUishA. But I was wrong. Her attitude towards me was no different from half a year ago - she didn't even bother to look at me. This feeling of being ignored was undoubtedly more hurtful.
So I started to waver again about whether to attend the class reunion. I wondered, is it necessary to attend a party organized by "a bunch of people I never want to see again in my life" just for a girl who didn't even look at me?
I can imagine that at that party, I sat in a corner without any friends, watching my former classmates toasting, talking, laughing. Of course, they would notice me, and maybe when the atmosphere was dull, they would tease me a few times, which became the lubricant to adjust the atmosphere. With the laughter of my classmates, the atmosphere finally became lively again.
Yes, with my current strength, I can certainly beat up any classmate who speaks rudely. But then what? A good party was ruined by me? Am I proud and complacent? It doesn't seem to make any sense.
I hesitated like this until the evening of the fourth day of the New Year, when Zou Yang called my home.
"Wang Hao, you must come. I will find a way to arrange a seat for you next to Li Shanman!"
I held the receiver for a long, long time without saying anything. It has been my dream for a long time to be able to sit with Li Shanman...
"Wang Hao, it's settled. Tomorrow at 12 noon, VIP Hotel, Rose Hall on the third floor, come early!"
After hanging up the phone, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, and almost didn't sleep all night. I was not born a very decisive person, and I was even more hesitant about such things. I could almost imagine how coldly Li Shanman would treat me after sitting next to her. Why should I put my warm face on her cold butt? After thinking this through, I decided not to attend the class reunion. Why would I want to make myself unhappy? So I slept soundly.
I slept until 10 o'clock the next morning, but somehow I got up, washed, changed clothes, went out and took the bus to Beiyuan City. Maybe I was still unwilling to accept it. It was already 11:30 when I arrived in Beiyuan City. I took another bus to the VIP Building. It was almost 12 o'clock. The VIP Building was indeed very impressive. It was still proud of the buildings in the most prosperous Jiefang Street area. There were all kinds of luxury cars parked around it. I walked into the VIP Building. After the receptionist at the door found out my room, she took me to the third floor by elevator. "This is the Rose Hall." The receptionist made a polite gesture, and I nodded and walked over.
Just as I was about to push the door, I heard someone inside say, "Brother Yang, it's already 12 o'clock, let's eat, don't wait for Wang Hao!" Then Zou Yang's voice came, "How can that be, Wang Hao is also a classmate of ours. Since it's a class reunion, it won't look good without anyone." "Brother Yang, you think it's boring without Wang Hao, hahahaha..."
I pushed the door open and went in. The noisy room suddenly became quiet. This was a large room that could accommodate four dining tables. The students were sitting at different tables. The table where Zou Yang sat was filled with the celebrities in our class, such as the monitor, the entertainment committee member, the sports committee member, etc. Li Shanman was naturally at this table. The room was quiet for a while, and then it became noisy again. No one welcomed me, as if I didn't exist. Zou Yang immediately stood up and pointed at the classmate next to Li Shanman and said, "Get up, get up! Sit over there!"
The classmate thought Zou Yang was going to sit here, so he stood up and said, "Brother Yang, you said so earlier, come over." Then he sat at the table next to him. Li Shanman smiled and said, "Zou Yang, you have to sit with me, and you have to help me drink later!" There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone. Zou Yang was a famous tall, rich... fat guy in the class, and the girls always treated him well.
Zou Yang trotted over to my side, pulled me to Li Shanman's side, and pushed me to the seat. This action stunned the classmates in the class, and they looked at each other in confusion for a while. Zou Yang sat back in his original seat and shouted, "Dinner is ready, waiter, serve the dishes!" The waiter began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner, but Li Shanman's face changed: "Zou Yang, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting?" Zou Yang said with a smile: "Wang Hao didn't have a place to sit, so I just arranged a random seat for him."
Li Shanman didn't say anything else, but quietly moved her chair to the side, deliberately keeping a certain distance from me, with an expressionless face full of indifference. I had imagined this scene a long time ago, so I was actually very calm. I looked at Li Shanman, and suddenly found that she was not that pretty, far inferior to Xia Xue, Taozi, and Zhou Mo, and she was not as good as them in terms of dressing. Taozi, who was dressed simply and without makeup, was much better than her. Maybe it was because I had never seen much of the world when I was in Dongguan before, and I was fascinated by Li Shanman, who was a little bit pretty. Haha. I laughed at myself.
The cold dishes were served first, and I picked up a piece of beef with my chopsticks and started eating. The sports committee member at the table was dissatisfied: "Wang Hao, why did you eat first?" He accused me of not being the first to pick up my chopsticks, and that I should let the "famous" people, such as Zou Yang, start first.
Wherever there are people, there is a society, and there is always a distinction between the high and the low in the society. The campus is a society, the classroom is a society, the dormitory is a society, and the dining table is a society with strict rules. Who picks up the chopsticks first, who toasts first, and who speaks first, all have a set of unspoken rules.
