Chapter 83 Class Reunion, Old Friends Reunited
"Hey, Jian An." Li Xuxu raised an eyebrow and suddenly patted the young man who was still in a daze. "Haven't you contacted Wen Yanyu all these years?"
"I remember you two were really close to Wen Yanyu back in junior high. How come it feels like you haven't been in touch all these years?"
Chen Jianan turned to look at the person who was filming him. Still dazed, he didn't react much, only instinctively shaking his head.
The young man was dressed in a sky-blue autumn outfit. He had regular features, and his slightly long, shoulder-length black hair was half-tied into a ponytail. His expression was still blank.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Li Xuxu chuckled strangely, "As the old saying goes, wealth makes it easy to change wives, and nobility makes it easy to make friends. He probably forgot about all of us old classmates."
"I think his saying he'd come to the gathering was just for show; he probably doesn't actually plan to come at all."
"Sigh, that's true. After all, they're all big stars now. How could they possibly remember us junior high school classmates?"
As Li Xuxu spoke, the group walked into the villa.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied.
No one objected to or agreed with Li Xuxu's obviously sarcastic remarks.
My mind is a complete mess.
Many people only realized that Wen Yanyu was their former classmate after seeing him trending on social media two months ago.
In her hard-to-remember memories, Wen Yanyu had many friends in class, and they all got along very well. How could they have completely lost contact after graduation?
At this point, my impression of this person is only based on the gossip I learned about online. Junior high school is not a long time ago, but it's not short either, and my memories of it are still somewhat clear.
But when I try to think about things related to Wen Yanyu in junior high school, my memories instantly become a jumbled mess, so I simply stop thinking about it.
We entered the villa.
Apart from the staff in work uniforms, the place was completely empty and deserted.
Before anyone could even figure out what was going on...
In the blink of an eye, I noticed the unusual thing on the sofa.
On the sofa in the living room, the boy was half-curled up, his black hair disheveled, wearing a well-made black suit coat, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing even, he was fast asleep.
It was a girl who broke the silence first.
"Is that Wen Yanyu?"
"Why is there hardly anyone here? Did I make a mistake with the travel guide?"
People have arrived.
The staff immediately came to greet them.
"Welcome to Jingyue Hot Spring Resort. Your rooms have been prepared."
The group was talking.
Wen Yanyu, who had been asleep, was startled awake by the noise and staggered to the front of the group.
"Sorry, I've been too busy with work lately and I accidentally fell asleep just now." Wen Yanyu rubbed her eyes and searched for familiar faces among the dozen or so people.
"Everyone...it's been a long time."
Everyone looked at the person in front of them.
Years later, Wen Yanyu's once youthful appearance has matured. Perhaps it is the troubles of growing up, but the boy's eyes are now filled with a weariness that is hard to shake off, compared to the sunshine of the past.
A reunion after many years.
We haven't been in contact for many years, and our identities have changed.
The crowd was momentarily at a loss for words, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Chen Jianan stared blankly at Wen Yanyu, who was both unfamiliar and familiar, as if the barrier in her mind had been completely shattered.
A flood of memories, accompanied by laughter, rushed into my mind.
"Little fish."
Wen Yanyu looked up at him.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Li Xuxu pouted and interrupted the two: "Long time no see. You're a big star now. We thought you weren't coming."
Wen Yanyu snapped out of her daze, curved her lips into a smile, and tried to make her expression more natural: "I've been too busy since graduation and haven't had much time, so please don't mind."
After casually answering the questions from the group, Wen Yanyu looked at the two who had remained silent and smiled, "Jian An, Xiao Tao, long time no see."
They both hummed in agreement.
The laughter and joy we once shared have long been diluted by the passage of time.
I don't know what else to say.
The most familiar stranger.
Seeing the three of them like this, Li Xuxu's brow twitched, then she changed the subject and said with a smile, "Hey, by the way, I saw online that you like men, is that true? Do you really like that guy named Fu Hanchuan?"
"I've heard that homosexuality is innate. You didn't have a crush on any boy in your class back then, and then suddenly stopped contacting everyone after you broke up with him after graduation, did you?"
Li Xuxu narrowed his eyes, his tone playful, pressing closer step by step.
This matter was mentioned in a group chat a while ago when people were discussing Wen Yanyu. Although the amplifying nature of the internet might lead to an open-minded view, mainstream society is still largely resistant to it, and they are all pretty much the same.
Especially given the early controversies and the fact that the identity of a celebrity, while not inherently derogatory in contemporary society, takes on a different meaning when associated with wealthy families.
Many people present also had very strange expressions.
Tao Shu and Chen Jian'an frowned, looking displeased at Li Xuxu who was pressing closer.
This guy.
Wen Yanyu was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and smiled, "Don't worry."
"Even if I like men, I don't like just any man or be picky about anything. I only look at the person, not their gender."
Wen Yanyu narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly, a hint of imperceptible coldness in them.
"Or perhaps you've liked every single girl in our class during those three years we were all in the same school? Wow, you're really, really amazing. I could never do that."
Wen Yanyu clapped her hands lightly, her tone smiling but without any reproach. Although it was a tone of praise, it inexplicably carried a hint of mockery.
Someone present couldn't help but laugh.
One sound after another.
Aside from Li Xuxu's unpleasant expression, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
The initially stiff atmosphere and the sense of unfamiliarity from not seeing each other for many years were instantly melted away by this joke.
Someone jokingly remarked, "Little Fish, you haven't changed at all."
"Hey kid, why haven't you contacted us all these years? It was only a few days ago that our old teacher suddenly mentioned you, and that's when I remembered you were my classmate."
"Is being a celebrity tiring? By the way, are LYJ and SJY a couple? What's their situation? And does HGP have a girlfriend?"
The group kept asking questions out of curiosity.
At this moment, Chen Wanqiu, who was still looking at the travel guide, suddenly asked, "Isn't it peak season here now? How come we don't see anyone else besides us?"
Upon hearing this, the others realized what was happening and echoed their agreement.
The most famous sight here is the autumn maple leaves, and it happens to be autumn now, so even if there are few people, it shouldn't be this deserted.
Wen Yanyu patted his head, about to explain.
"Yan Yan, have your classmates arrived yet?"
An intimate male voice came from the second floor of the guesthouse.
