Chapter 60 Class Reunion "You didn't see me, are you still angry with me...
"I'm not leaving."
"What I mean is, I'm about to graduate from graduate school and probably won't go anywhere else. I should stay in Fuqing and prepare for my thesis."
After saying this, Tao Shuran bit her lower lip in annoyance.
What the hell is she talking about?
Liang Yuanjing chuckled softly, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately repeated, "You have to stay in Fuqing."
"Does that give me a chance to pursue you?"
Tao Shuran turned her face away, stood on tiptoe and reached out to feel the temperature of his forehead.
Liang Yuanjing bent down cooperatively, with a doting smile on his lips.
"The fever should be almost gone. Remember to take your medicine on time for another two days."
Tao Shuran grabbed the bag, looked away, and spoke rapidly.
"I still have classes at school, so I'll go back first."
At such a close distance, Liang Yuanjing seized the opportunity this time.
He lowered his head, pinched the back of her neck with his fingers, and kissed her.

The cell phone thrown in the corner rang.
Liang Yuanjing picked it up casually, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the phone nonchalantly.
"How's it going? Did you get back together?"
Zhao Zhengnian spoke loudly, even more excited than the person involved. "I'm telling you, I thought of this trick the moment you got sick. The fact that she came to see you means she definitely has you in her heart."
Liang Yuanjing coughed and said lightly: "No."
"Lao Liang, you can't do it."
Zhao Zhengnian tutted, "His skills on airplanes have gotten better and better over the years, but how come his skills at picking up girls are still so poor?"
"You said you would confess your love to my sister Tao when you were going to college. Would this have happened today?"
Liang Yuanjing felt annoyed when talking about this.
He sneered, "If you can do it, go ahead. You've been chasing that girl for eight hundred years and haven't caught up with her yet."
Zhao Zhengnian shouted loudly: "It would be boring if we reveal the truth."
Not in the mood to appreciate his jumping up and down, Liang Yuanjing lazily lay back on the bed, and the neatly folded quilt spread out, as if her warmth still remained.
Nothing seems to have changed.
Sometimes Liang Yuanjing would wonder what would have happened if he had realized his feelings earlier and confessed to her during his sophomore year.
Wouldn't they have missed five years?

After entering a short autumn transition period, Fuqing immediately entered quick-freeze mode as soon as October arrived.
The wind made the camphor tree outside the window rustle, and the green under the clear sky had been replaced by a dark color.
When she walked out of the classroom, Tao Shuran felt a sense of meaning coming from the wind. She wrapped her scarf around her and tied the belt of her windbreaker tighter.
Just as they were about to go out, Jin Boyu, Gu Songnian and their group came out from the door in a flurry.
"Are you really not going to the dinner party tonight? How could anyone refuse beef hotpot?"
Gu Songnian was wearing a yellow sweatshirt, which was very eye-catching in the cold late autumn. The smile on his face was equally dazzling, and he joked with her without any malice.
"Junior sister, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you recently?"
In fact, in terms of age, Tao Shuran is only four months younger than Gu Songnian.
Coupled with his eccentric personality, she rarely truly regarded him as a senior brother.
"I really have something to do tonight," she said helplessly. "My friends insisted on dragging me to a class reunion."
As per tradition, Qingzhong holds an annual class reunion.
Tao Shuran had never participated in one before, as she was afraid of meeting Liang Yuanjing and hearing anything related to him.
I am afraid to hear that he is still doing well, but I am also afraid to hear that he is having a hard time.
But this time Fang Qingyi insisted on dragging her along, saying that she and Liang Yuanjing had already met and kissed, so there was no reason for her to refuse.
Tao Shuran blushed and retorted on the phone: "No kiss."
Fang Qingyi spread her hands. "If you say no, then no, Tao Shuran. I've discovered that you're the worst at saying one thing and thinking another."
…
Gu Songnian said, "Well, you won't have a good time today."
The sky gradually darkened. Jin Boyu was wearing a black coat and holding the car keys in his hand. When a group of people were about to set off, he suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Ask: "Do you want me to take you there?"
Tao Shuran was not one to bother others, so he immediately said, "No, I can just take a taxi."
Jin Boyu glanced at her and didn't insist.
The car was full of people. He stood under the street light. The dim light cast a light halo, and every expression on his face was soft.
"So, will you see him at this party?"
Tao Shuran was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Who?"
"Your..." Jin Boyu shrugged and said softly, "Captain Liang."
"You seem to have never told me about your relationship."
Because for Tao Shuran, the three words Liang Yuanjing will always be a name hidden in her heart.
She smiled, slowly raised her head and said, "Ex-boyfriend."
"We were in a relationship."
The moment she said it, she felt relieved.
Jin Boyu didn't seem surprised by the answer. He raised his eyebrows, folded his hands in front of him, and made an "understood" gesture.
His attitude towards her did not change. He asked her to "wait a moment" and turned around, opened the car door and took out an umbrella.
"The weather forecast says it's going to rain tonight, so it's better to be prepared."
Only Jin Boyu can develop the habit of checking the weather forecast on time every day.
Tao Shuran said, "Thank you."
The car she called also arrived at the door at this time, and the rapid whistle did not leave any time for severance.
Tao Shuran hurriedly said goodbye and was about to leave. He lowered his head and put the umbrella into his bag, but when he turned around, he heard Jin Boyu softly ask -
"Would you consider getting back together?"
She paused, her eyes were confused, and even her voice became hesitant.
"I'm not sure."

Three years after graduation, everyone seems to have changed a lot.
After failing the college entrance examination, Wen Fangfang chose to repeat her studies. She now works as a white-collar worker in a media company. When she entered the venue, she was wearing a long dress with a baby collar and black round-frame glasses. The fat on her baby face had been reduced a little, and her temperament seemed somewhat capable.
In her junior year of college, Fang Shiyue officially debuted and became an 18th-tier star. She is beautiful and has a lot of advantages in the entertainment industry.
Recently, Tao Shuran often sees her at the top of the entertainment hot searches, apparently because she is in love with a model.
"It is said that the model looks a bit like Liang Yuanjing."
In the barber shop, Fang Qingyi showed her a photo of the two of them.
"If you ask me, Liang Yuanjing's product doesn't have any meal replacements."
She boasted, "He's both pretty and badass, aloof and a bit ruffian. If we kissed in uniform, it would be so good that my legs would go weak."
Tao Shuran covered his ears: "Don't talk nonsense."
"How can I say that? It's obviously the truth."
When you first meet Liang Yuanjing, you will think he is a cold person, with thin eyelids raised, and sometimes he is lazy and doesn't even pay attention to a glance.
His sharp jaw was slightly raised, and even when he was smiling, he looked nonchalant.
Tao Shuran originally thought that he was difficult to approach, but after spending time with him, she gradually discovered the bad nature in him.
Having discovered the secret that eye contact would make her shy, he would deliberately stare into her eyes every time he spoke, causing her to smile irresistibly into his ears, and each time it seemed like an unintentional teasing.
He is a bad guy.
After getting their hair done at the barber shop, there was not much time left before dinner, so Fang Qingyi hurried over there with Tao Shuran. When they entered, most of the people in the private room were there.
"You two are getting more and more beautiful."
The squad leader stood up first and asked Tao Shuran with a smile, "Do you remember me?"
"I haven't heard anything about you in the past few years. I thought you went to other places to develop your career, but I didn't expect you to be in Fuqing all the time."
Tao Shuran smiled lightly: "I have always been in Fuqing."
The simple greetings ended here, and she found a seat in the corner and sat down.
During this time, Fang Qingyi was looking at her mobile phone, occasionally looking up at the door, as if she was expecting someone to arrive.
Tao Shuran raised his eyebrows: "Are you waiting for someone?"
"I asked the monitor to send an invitation letter to Fu Changpei as well."
Fang Qingyi puffed up her cheeks and said distressedly, "Otherwise, I really don't know what excuse I should use to see him."
Liking someone probably means wanting to get closer to them in every possible way.
Tao Shuran bit the straw and glanced towards the door. Suddenly, she saw a hurried figure walking past the window.
She pulled Fang Qingyi's sleeve and reminded her, "Fu Changpei is here."
Fang Qingyi coughed lightly, straightened her hair, and took out a small mirror from her pocket to look at her face.
However, Fu Changpei hurried past her without stopping for a moment.
"haven't seen you for a long time……"
Fang Qingyi's words of greeting were stuck in her throat and stopped abruptly. She stared at his back, feeling that he was deliberately ignoring her. She suddenly felt frustrated like never before.
Afterwards, she felt like a frost-bitten eggplant, and had no interest in any game.
Tao Shuran reached out and took her wine glass, looking at her with concern.
"Xiaoyi, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me? I'm used to it." Fang Qingyi burped, her eyes red, and she smiled bitterly.
"I've known all these years that he doesn't like me."
There was no way, Tao Shuran could only let go and let her drink.
She understood from the bottom of her heart the bitterness of unrequited love, and if getting drunk could sober people up, then there was nothing wrong with that.
Just as Tao Shuran was holding her chin up and staring blankly to pass the time, Wen Fangfang took the initiative to come over and talk to her.
"After all these years, why haven't you and Liang Yuanjing finally achieved a happy ending?"
Wen Fangfang said with a tone of disdain: "Tao Shuran, are you capable of this?"
At the same time, Tao Shuran's cell phone on the table kept vibrating.
She said "sorry" and turned slightly to look at the messages flashing on the phone screen.
It was Liang Yuanjing, the main character of this dinner.
"What are you doing?"
"Ignore me?"
"I won't kiss you next time, okay?"
"You kissed me last time, so let's just reciprocate."
"...There's a cultural relics exhibition on Saturday, do you want to go?"
There were too many messages, so Tao Shuran quickly glanced through them and picked out the most important replies.
"No"
After these two words were sent, the phone finally got a rest.
Just when Tao Shuran thought everything was over, she received another message from Liang Yuanjing with a "ding" sound.
"I was wrong."
Through these three words, she could already imagine Liang Yuanjing admitting his mistake with a cold face.
Tao Shuran couldn't help but burst out laughing, which caused Wen Fangfang, who was sitting next to her, to look at her meaningfully.
"Are you two secretly dating again?"
She quickly shook her head, firmly denying it.
Fang Qingyi, who was almost half drunk, fell on her shoulder. The ringing cell phone gave her a headache.
He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the sender, sneered, and said to Tao Shuran in the tone of a person who had experienced it:
"Oh, don't reply to him. Men need to be cool. If you are too enthusiastic, others will not bother to pay attention to you, just like Fu Changpei did to me."
Fang Qingyi said dejectedly: "What should I do, Ranran, I feel like I'm a little tired."
“If you’re tired, have a good sleep. If liking someone becomes a painful thing, then don’t like them.”
Tao Shuran lowered her eyelashes, put her phone in her bag, and stopped reading his messages.
She thought about it and decided that she really needed some quiet time to think about her relationship with Liang Yuanjing.
How should she treat him, and with what emotions should she walk the rest of the way with him?
He hadn't formed an answer to all of this in his mind yet. Because he was uncertain, Tao Shuran treated him with even greater caution.
"Don't drink anymore, it's almost over."
Tao Shuran once again took the bottle of wine from Fang Qingyi's arms. At this moment, the squad leader walked in from the door and said mysteriously, "I'm going to introduce you to a heavyweight guest later."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. When the names were mentioned repeatedly, Tao Shuran first thought of Liang Yuanjing.
Her eyelashes drooped, and she turned to Wen Fangfang and said, "Please keep an eye on her. I'm going to the bathroom."
I can't tell why, I just want to avoid seeing him at this moment.
There is a garden terrace on the second floor of the hotel. Before coming here, Tao Shuran heard that the owner had grown a lot of flowers there.
She took a deep breath and slowly climbed to the second floor to clear her mind.
But I didn't expect to see an unexpected person here.
Liang Yuanjing was wearing a black coat and leaning on the railing, smoking with an arrogant look. The blue-gray smoke rose and caressed his neat and clear profile.
She looked over and saw the boundless night sky behind him, with a bright moon hanging high above his head.
Everything seemed so incredible. The person she was running away from appeared before her as if it was fate.
Like every moment of youth, Tao Shuran kept a low profile and stood behind him, watching him silently.
She didn't expect Liang Yuanjing to suddenly turn around, and she didn't expect him to walk directly towards her.
"No phone calls, no text messages."
"Tao Shuran."
Liang Yuanjing pronounced her name clearly, with a hint of smile in his voice.
"You don't see me, are you still angry with me?"
