The online taxi driver didn't turn on the air conditioner, so Zhang Moyan pulled her scarf up higher because the weather was really cold.
It wasn't long before we arrived at the dinner venue.
"Wow! Such a grand occasion!"
When Zhang Moyan stepped into the private room reserved by Zhu Lili, she was immediately shocked by the exquisite flowers and balloons covering the walls. Then she looked at the guests present and was even more stunned. There was a female teacher from her university photography group and alumni of the club whom she had known for many years.
"Teacher Xu, why are you here?" Zhang Moyan was so surprised that she almost forgot to give the gift to Zhu Lili. She also recognized several of the former members. "Yang Lu, Huang Lei, you are here too! Tian Tian, aren't you in Changsha?"
It’s so strange. Zhu Lili had an average relationship with them before, so how come she invited everyone?
"Of course I have to come. Today is a very important day!" Zhu Lili gave her boyfriend a cute look mysteriously, and then asked Zhang Moyan to take a seat quickly.
Zhang Moyan looked at the seat Zhu Lili had reserved for her and waved her hand. "That's the top seat, how can I sit there? Lili, you're the birthday girl today, you're the oldest, so you should sit here!"
Zhu Lili pressed her shoulders and asked her to come down. "Who dares to call themselves the boss when Teacher Xu is here today? Well, isn't Teacher Xu your favorite teacher? Then I'll arrange for you to sit next to Teacher Xu. Please help me entertain Teacher Xu!"
Zhang Moyan felt something was wrong and refused to sit down no matter what.
"Come, come, come!" Teacher Xu, who was over fifty years old, waved to her. "Xiao Zhang, don't be polite. Today we will all listen to Lili. The guest should follow the host's wishes!"
Since the teacher said so, and everyone at the table agreed, Zhang Moyan had no choice but to obey.
The long-unseen reunion of teachers and friends was a joyful affair. Zhang Moyan spoke little, merely listening. Everyone chatted animatedly about their experiences since graduation, the ups and downs of life, as if no matter how much hardship they had endured, it would become a joke around the table, and it all sounded so funny that Zhang Moyan laughed until her stomach hurt several times.
At that moment, all her worries seemed to disappear, and she even felt a long-lost sense of ease and happiness.
"Okay! Our next step is to blow out the candles and cut the cake!" After serving the first dish of Huaiyang cuisine, Zhu Lili stood up and announced solemnly. Her boyfriend went to turn off the lights in the private room in tacit understanding.
The view suddenly darkened, and lights like stars appeared among the flowers. Everyone seemed to be in a sea of glittering stars, and they all exclaimed in admiration at the beauty!
At this moment, the door of the private room slowly opened, and a familiar and handsome figure slowly walked in, pushing a cake cart. Suddenly, romantic and beautiful music sounded in the room. It was not the expected "Happy Birthday", but "Holding Your Hand":
"Look at me,
You walked towards me,
Your step by step
My life
Follow your pulse
Heartbeat Accompaniment
Dream come true
…
Hold my hand
Leave it all to me
Your spring, summer, autumn and winter
My vast sea and sky
Let me finish
Your complete
Nothing else to ask for
Holding Your Hand
Grow old together
