Chapter 35 Living in Misfortune
"Second Young Master, these are your letters." Bai He put down the large stack of events and notices in his hand.
"Anything else?"
Seeing that Bai He put his things away and didn't leave, Luo Pingfeng looked up at him.
"And this invitation."
Bai He nervously handed over the last item in his hand.
The person in charge of the class reunion invitations this year is Chi Tiansheng, and all invitations are issued by the Chi Group.
"I never go there, don't you know? Just throw it in the trash can."
Luo Pingfeng said this, but he snatched it away himself and threw it into the trash can at his feet.
"Understood. I have an appointment with Mr. Lin for dinner at 7:30 pm. The driver will be waiting for you downstairs of the company at 7 pm."
After finally reminding Baihe of the next itinerary content, he went out to get busy.
Luo Pingfeng looked down at the invitation and picked it up again.
When he opened it, he saw the "signature" specially designed by Chi Tiansheng. Chi Tiansheng probably thought that this writing style was particularly handsome, but in Luo Pingfeng's opinion, it was particularly dazzling.
"You booked a room in such an expensive five-star hotel. You can't wait to tell the world that you've won this big project on the South Bank, right?"
Luo Pingfeng was furious and tore up the invitation letter with force.
Chi Tiansheng survived the disaster and was about to start a big project in the South Bank. He also took the initiative to serve as the host of this class reunion. He was simply taking the opportunity to show off to himself and even "declare war".
Luo Pingfeng was too lazy to look at Chi Tiansheng's expression and disdained to listen to his boasting.
Anyway, Luo Pingfeng has never been involved in classmates, friends, lovers, gatherings and happiness.
These dragging things are all side branches and leaves that hinder life. He doesn't need them, and Luoping Mountain and Luoping City cannot have them because the Luo family doesn't need them either.
Bai He returned to his seat and opened the file, which also contained an invitation letter.
He and Luo Pingfeng attended the same high school, and on the same day every year, each grade and class would hold a class reunion.
The host of their class this year is Xiaowen, the idiot in sportswear.
Xiaowen never wears the school suit uniform. He wears the sportswear he wears for physical education class every day.
After graduation, the place where they meet is no longer the campus, but the "battlefield" where each of them follows his own master.
Bai He should have glared at the servants of the Chi family, but he couldn't find a way to glare at Xiao Wen.
Whenever Bai He saw that sportswear, he wanted to laugh.
"A poor student with his sportswear welded to his body" is Bai He's impression of Xiao Wen. Even before he knew that Xiao Wen was Chi Tiansheng's subordinate, Bai He had this impression of Xiao Wen.
For Baihe, going to high school and college and studying hard is to gain the qualification to survive.
Only by becoming a useful person to Luo Pingfeng can you have the right to survive.
Before dawn, Bai He is always the first to arrive in the classroom to study, and he leaves the library late at night.
At school, the only chance to catch my breath is during physical education class.
Although, I always asked for leave for various reasons during physical education class and spent the time reading a book.
However, Xiaowen's cheers, the way he ran freely, the way he hugged everyone, and the way he smiled foolishly in his sportswear were like a little sweetness in the bitter life.
What a carefree person, what an interesting fool, I really envy him, this poor student who has his sportswear welded to his body.
I don’t know if Xiaowen noticed my curiosity about him, or heard my evaluation of him from someone else, so he came to me on his own initiative.
"Hey, I heard you're the top student in our grade, and you have a monopoly?"
Xiaowen smiled and sat down across from Baihe, spreading out a completely blank workbook. "Can you tutor me? The teacher said it's a waste of time to tutor a scumbag like me. She told me to find a caring classmate to study with."
I thought he was a thick-skinned idiot in tracksuit, but I didn't expect him to be such a shameless idiot.
Studying together, this was Baihe's first time to feel "what ordinary students are like", and he agreed to it out of some strange coincidence.
"Let me make it clear in advance that if you're too stupid, I won't teach you. I don't want to waste my life."
The harsh words were spoken first, but when it came to practice, Xiaowen was even dumber than imagined, but Baihe did not abandon him.
He patiently explained each question to Xiaowen five or six times.
When Xiaowen was running on the playground and hanging out with his friends, everyone would occasionally mock Baihe.
"You only know how to study and be content with being number one in your grade."
"Forget it, he's a top student and not from the same world as us."
Xiaowen didn't want to listen to rumors, but just wanted to verify for himself what kind of person this academic master Bai He was.
Xiaowen picked up the filled test paper and laughed happily.
He was happy that he had finally finished his homework. He was happy that Baihe was not the kind of guy that everyone said he was.
Baihe is neither cold-blooded nor arrogant, he is just a good-tempered nerd.
"Today is my first day as a disciple! Let's go, Master, let me treat you to a meal!"
Xiaowen treated Baihe to a super spicy malatang meal, which made Baihe realize that he could actually eat so much spicy food.
Luo Pingfeng couldn't stand any spicy food. Baihe ate what Luo Pingfeng had left over, so naturally he had never tasted spicy food.
"Hey, you say you're my disciple, but we're still classmates. Let's just be friends and good brothers, right?"
Xiaowen said that if they study and eat together, they will become good brothers.
Baihe did not deny it and accepted the friendship he had never expected.
"Do you know someone named Chi Tiansheng? Why are you so close to him? Did he approach you first?"
Until Luo Pingfeng called Bai He over, threw out a stack of secretly taken photos, and coldly questioned him about his relationship with Xiao Wen.
"What? Judging from your expression, you didn't know he was from the Chi family?"
Luo Pingfeng gave Baihe a chance to cut off his connection with Xiaowen himself.
Baihe did just that. He could only and had to do that.
However, I didn’t expect Xiaowen to be such a fool who couldn’t read the expressions and kept asking for the “reason”.
"Reason? I don't want to waste my life, understand? Studying with you, teaching a poor student like you, and hanging around with you is a waste of my life!"
Bai He stopped and, in the busy corridor, deliberately raised his voice and yelled at Xiao Wen who was chasing him.
Later, someone said that Xiaowen skipped class because he hid in the sports equipment room and cried for an entire afternoon.
Baihe blames himself and Xiaowen.
Xiaowen shouldn't reach out to someone like him. Someone like him, who is cursed with misfortune from the very beginning, doesn't deserve to expect happiness.
"You don't have to come with me to the dinner tonight. Just go home after you're done."
Luo Pingfeng passed by Bai He's seat, saying something while putting on his coat.
Bai He was so scared that he dropped the invitation in his hand to the ground, which attracted Luo Pingfeng's attention.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of waste paper. Take care." Bai He stood up, stepped on the invitation letter and bowed slightly.
Luo Pingfeng hummed softly and walked straight towards the elevator.
Only when the elevator door closed did Bai He breathe a sigh of relief and slowly take off his leather shoes.
When it fell to the ground, the invitation letter was opened and Xiaowen's signature was left with a black shoe print.
Baihe picked it up and wiped it hard, but it wouldn't come clean.
"Oh, what am I doing?"
Bai He threw the dirty invitation into the trash can, reminding himself: All the hopes and desires that you shouldn’t have in your heart should be thrown into the trash can.
Stay away from Xiaowen, don't become a stain in Xiaowen's life again, and don't bring unnecessary harm to Xiaowen. This is what you should do.
The sightseeing elevator slowly descended, and Luo Pingfeng looked at the night view outside the elevator glass.
What kind of families live in those brightly lit houses and apartments, far and near? Are they all happy and loving?
It would be better not to, Luo Pingfeng hopes, that everyone lives in misfortune.
Happiness is the most deceptive thing, it is a deception and a poison.
Luo Pingfeng saw this kind of "happiness" in Luo Ping Mountain and Luo Ping City.
They are heartbroken and worried about their lovers and important people, and are led by the emotions that they think bring "happiness". They are full of flaws and can be swallowed up by the surging emotions at any time.
Luo Pingfeng must never fall into this dangerous trap, the trap called "happiness", "sweetness" and "warmth".
