Twenty years later.
Ning Xiaoquan received a phone call inviting him to a class reunion.
Looking at Lu Zhan beside her, she suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for everything back then. Those days in university seemed so recent, but upon reflection, it had already been twenty years.
After twenty years together, she had long seen through what kind of person her lover was.
Even now that I'm quite old.
He still enjoys watching cartoons and reading action-packed novels.
He's a cool and aloof CEO outside, but once he gets home, he's back to that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager—no, he should be called a chuunibyou middle-aged man.
She agreed immediately.
Over the past twenty years, she has given birth to two sons and a daughter for Lu Zhan, and her daughter is now twelve years old.
She had called earlier to say she would be staying at Enna's house for two days.
Eunna got married too.
However, it wasn't her own choice to date. She had two relationships in school, but both ended in failure.
Ning Xiaoquan cried with her and drank with her.
This actually strengthened their friendship.
Even Fang Enna herself joked that her two relationships had forged an unbreakable bond of friendship.
However, she got married two years after graduating from university.
I met my partner through a blind date.
A very gentle man.
Fang Enna told Ning Xiaoquan that she wasn't sure if she liked him, but she was sure that she was happy when she was with him.
Of course, in the days that followed, this man completely melted Fang Enna's heart with his actions.
Fang Enna has a son who is the same age as her daughter. She always feels that this child is trying to melt her little daughter's heart by following the same tactics his father used on his mother.
That's why they've been staying together every few days.
Twenty years.
People have changed.
The once arrogant female classmate has become more gentle.
Many of the male students have gained weight.
Some of them are bald.
Yet she stubbornly used hair wax to make her remaining few hairs shine.
It looks a bit greasy.
In terms of appearance, Lu Zhan has maintained a fairly good appearance.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been met with such hostile stares as soon as I went in.
"Lu Zhan, you've been handsome since you were a kid. You're getting on in years, you should at least give the younger generation a chance. How come you're still so handsome?"
The person speaking touched the top of their head and said with a smile.
"There's no way around it, my wife is so beautiful, I can't possibly hold her back."
Lu Zhan replied with a smile.
Ning Xiaoquan is still beautiful, of course.
Her clothes were from a contemporary brand, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was very translucent. Even her pearl earrings had a pinkish luster, clearly indicating that they were quite valuable.
She's gained a little weight compared to back then, after all, she's had three children.
However, this also means that she has almost no wrinkles on her face, and some people would believe that she is under thirty years old.
"Oh, you still like buying these things?"
A female classmate asked with ill intent.
Ning Xiaoquan's vanity was notorious at school. "Your mother-in-law probably doesn't like that about you."
"No, my mother-in-law loves them. She bought all of these for me. A while ago, she went to Milan for a fashion show and bought me a lot of clothes and bags."
"Your mother-in-law is so good to you." The voice became increasingly sour.
"That's right."
When Ning Xiaoquan mentioned her mother-in-law, she smiled even more broadly.
Her mother-in-law is definitely the best mother-in-law in the world.
Just between you and me, she's only slightly better than her own mother—just a tiny bit better.
Ning Xiaoquan also saw Su Ming, who had changed so much that she almost didn't recognize him.
His face was swollen, and his skin was somewhat sallow.
Su Ming looked embarrassed when he saw Ning Xiaoquan.
She smiled ingratiatingly at Ning Xiaoquan.
He looked somewhat timid.
So many years have passed, and she now clearly realizes how naive her past actions were.
Ning Xiaoquan smiled at her, but since they were no longer close, a nod and a smile sufficed.
Song Xue woke up with a start.
All I could hear was my husband's loud snoring.
She frowned impatiently.
How could she have such a dream?
But the dream felt so real.
She looked up at her house.
This is her home, a 70-square-meter second-hand apartment.
The couple worked hard for several years to save enough money to buy it.
However, in that dream, she married Lu Zhan.
That's right, it's Lu Zhan.
The Lu family is very wealthy. She lives in a villa and uses only the latest and most expensive items. When she goes shopping, she never needs to look at the price. If she sees something she likes, she just asks them to wrap it up. This is unlike now, where she has to compare prices even when she goes to a small supermarket.
I'm afraid of buying something bad, but I can't bear to spend too much on something expensive.
I live in constant inner conflict every day.
She felt that she should marry someone like Lu Zhan.
But--
She's already married to another man, so why would she have this dream?
Moreover, she did not find happiness in the end.
She eventually divorced Lu Zhan.
Because she betrayed Lu Zhan.
What happened?
Even in her dreams, can't she have a happy ending?
Song Xue gave a self-deprecating laugh.
The man in the bed was the same one who had helped her up in the clothing store years ago.
