Chapter 30 Class Reunion 1
Cai Yun had noticed the man beside Xu Mo early on. He wore a well-cut woolen coat, seemingly made of wool or even cashmere. She judged this based on the fact that in winter, where temperatures were near freezing, only cashmere could provide both lightness and warmth. He had a distinguished appearance, a slender figure, and a refined and elegant demeanor.
Such a man is really rare in a small town like Nanshi. Cai Yun originally just admired him from afar, but when she found out that the woman next to such a man was Xu Mo, and that she was standing beside Xu Mo and asking her about her well-being, a dark emotion surged in Cai Yun's heart.
Although she and Xu Mo were both top students in No. 1 Middle School, they always exchanged places in the top ten honor roll. Although Xu Mo had good grades, she always looked down on Xu Mo.
——Just a woman who can only rely on persistence to get to the top.
Cai Yun felt in her heart that Zhao Tingyu didn't like her, and she had long judged that he would break up with her sooner or later.
But even if they broke up, there shouldn't be another man next to Xu Mo so soon, and this man seems to be in pretty good condition.
Faced with the subtle sense of oppression from Lin Jingchuan, Cai Yun was nervous for a moment, then raised her head and said, "I'm just telling the truth."
Lin Jingchuan: "What facts?"
Cai Yun said sarcastically, "She pursued Zhao Tingyu for love."
Lin Jingchuan's expression was emotionless: "Chasing her? Who told you that? Did you hear that while you were lying under Zhao Tingyu's bed?"
Xu Mo:!
In her impression, Lin Jingchuan has always been a gentle and kind person. This was the first time she discovered that Lin Jingchuan was also good at confronting people.
The man's obvious displeasure made Cai Yun forget her subconscious anger. She was no longer the impulsive little girl she had been at school. As an adult, she understood the importance of maintaining a semblance of peace between people, even when they disagreed. Furthermore, she had no idea of the man's abilities or background.
Cai Yun smiled and said, "Actually, everyone in Girls' Generation has someone they like. It's nothing. I just suddenly saw Xu Mo and recalled some past events, so I spoke too quickly."
Xu Mo nodded and said, "If you know you can't speak, just say less."
Cai Yun: “…”
Just as she was about to speak, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from some high school girls.
Cai Yun looked at the message, thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and suddenly raised her head and smiled.
"Xu Mo, you also know that I am a straightforward person. If what I said just now accidentally hurt you, I apologize to you." Cai Yun said.
Not knowing what she was up to, Xu Mo remained silent.
Cai Yun added, "It's been a while since we've gotten together as high school classmates. How about we get together tonight?"
It is said that you should not accept last-minute invitations, as they are either asking you to join the crowd or to pay the bill. Xu Mo did not want to agree.
Unexpectedly, Cai Yun took her hand and whispered softly, "Actually, we've had several high school reunions, but every time we invited you, you never went. You were the class president back then, and everyone always mentioned you and said they wanted to meet you. It's been so many years since we graduated, and you've never contacted us, so no one knows how you're doing. We've met here today, so it's fate. Why don't we get together tonight?"
Cai Yun was right. In the past few years, because Xu Mo was busy on a project, she came home late, often on New Year's Eve, so she really had no time to attend class reunions.
In fact, she is not opposed to attending class reunions. Although she has an average relationship with Cai Yun, she also made some good friends when she was in high school. After not seeing them for so many years, Xu Mo would miss them a little.
"Is anyone there?" Xu Mo asked.
Cai Yun hurriedly said, "Zhuozhuo, Yueyue and the others should all go." These two had a good relationship with Xu Mo.
Cai Yun had said this, and not joining in seemed like a complete outcast. Xu Mo thought to herself that tonight was fine, so she looked at Lin Jingchuan, who nodded quietly, meaning he was listening to her opinion.
Xu Mo nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Tingyu didn't expect that the four-person game that Liao Haizhou mentioned had completely changed by the time he arrived at the scene.
He was sitting in a booth in the bar smoking and drinking when he suddenly saw several familiar faces coming in from outside. At first, he saw several female classmates from Xu Mo's class, and then he saw several new and familiar faces coming in one after another.
Zhao Tingyu felt that the development of the situation was a little beyond his expectations. He frowned and said to Liao Haizhou, "Why are there so many people?" To be honest, he didn't like large-scale group gatherings.
Liao Haizhou shook his head: "I don't know either."
Wang Shuai, standing by, exhaled a puff of cigarette and said to the two of them, "Oh, just now when I went to the bathroom, I ran into a high school girl I know. She said it was her birthday today and her class was having a reunion here tonight, and asked if I wanted to join."
"You agree now?" Chen Kang asked.
Wang Shuai shrugged. "That schoolgirl confessed to me before, and I was rejected. I felt a little embarrassed, so I agreed. It doesn't matter. Anyway, we'll just show up when the time comes, just to show our support."
Zhao Tingyu frowned: "Showing your face, it sounds weird..."
Liao Haizhou smiled and patted Wang Shuai on the shoulder: "Yeah, you really take yourself seriously."
Wang Shuai flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Girls have a bit of self-respect. It's okay if I want more handsome guys to show up at my birthday party."
"Handsome guy?" Chen Kang smiled.
Wang Shuai straightened his leather jacket and said, "Isn't this cool?"
"Handsome, handsome, handsome." Chen Kang clinked glasses with him. "You're still as narcissistic as you were in high school."
Zhao Tingyu took a sip of wine and thought, "Go ahead if you want. But don't drag me into this."
But he didn't say this out loud. Wang Shuai had a good relationship with him. In recent years, Wang Shuai had developed in his hometown's provincial capital and started his own business as a small boss. He and Wang Shuai had many common topics.
Wang Shuai put his arm around his shoulder and said, "If we talk about handsomeness, our Zhao Shuai is the most handsome."
Zhao Tingyu glared at him and said, "I don't deserve this in front of General Wang."
Liao Haizhou: "That's enough for you two."
"Which box?" Chen Kang asked.
Wang Shuai glanced at his phone: "B11."
It was almost time, and the four men swaggered towards the private room. When Zhao Tingyu reached the corridor, he said, "I'm going to the bathroom first. You guys go ahead."
When he entered the bathroom, a girl passed by him. He smelled a familiar scent of perfume on her, a faint floral scent, gentle and distant, but before he could look back, the girl walked away.
Zhao Tingyu was in a hurry to go to the bathroom and didn't think much about it.
When he came out of the bathroom, walked to box B11, pushed the door open, and was suddenly surrounded by a burst of booing.
Cai Yun led the applause: "Wow, our school's most handsome boy is here! Everyone, give him a warm welcome."
Zhao Tingyu was stunned for a moment because he saw a familiar figure sitting in the corner. She was wearing a white fur coat and was talking hand in hand with a girl who always went to the bathroom with her in high school. Her eyes were lively.
Startled by the sudden noise, Xu Mo raised her eyes and looked towards the door.
Zhao Tingyu let go, and the door of the box slowly slid back until it was closed.
In Xu Mo's shocked eyes, he saw himself being equally shocked.
