Chapter 16 Classmate Gathering

Chapter 16 Classmate Gathering

A cacophony of noise, accompanied by Xie Gouhua's booming voice, came from the other end of the phone:

"Huan'er, did you see the message I sent you before? Come over for a late-night snack, we're all old classmates!"

Yu Huan originally wanted to make an excuse to get out of it, go home, wash up, and go to sleep.

Hearing that it was a gathering of classmates, I was even less inclined to go.

but.

After a little thought.

Most of them have just graduated from university and are still in a state of clarity and naivety—they always say "thank you" and say "sorry" and "it's okay" no matter what the situation is, even if they have just been slapped.

I haven't had a proper meal since lunch.

I'm starving right now and want to eat something hot to fill my stomach.

So, Yu Huan hesitated for a moment: "South Gate?"

"South Gate!" The voice on the other end of the phone paused, then suddenly lowered its voice and said, "Zhao Yuan and Fang Yuting are both there."

Upon hearing these two names, Yu Huan immediately refused without hesitation: "How did you manage to get a table like this? Then I'm not going."

"These are the only people in our class who stayed in Changsha. Someone invited them all to get together. What, are you afraid of Fang Yuting?"

"Minimalism, do you understand?"

"What do you mean?"

Yu Huan realized that the term "decluttering" wasn't popular yet, so she could only explain, "It means getting rid of waste, letting go of attachments, and moving forward lightly, understand?"

"Oh, I understand, but speaking of which, Huan'er, you're not going to cut ties with me, are you?" Gouzi paused, "Uh, Fang Yuting is here, probably to say a few words to you."

Just as the dog finished speaking, a gentle female voice, as soft as a spring breeze, rang out from the telephone receiver.

"Yu Huan, have you arrived yet? I heard you broke your leg. Should I send someone to pick you up?"

The soft, melodious, and familiar tone of the voice filled my mind.

She seemed completely unaffected by Yu Huan blocking all her contact information.

She knew perfectly well that she treated every single one of her backup suitors with the same caring demeanor.

It belongs to the category of high-power central air conditioning.

Yu Huan sighed inwardly.

Whatever.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

"Alright then, I'll return the phone to Xie Gouhua."

A few moments.

Xie Gouhua's voice rang out: "Are you still coming?"

"It doesn't matter, true letting go is having a calm mind."

"Okay, Huan'er, after we finish our late-night snack, let's go get a massage."

"I'm so tired today, I want to eat something and go home to lie down and sleep."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

As Yu Huan approached the elevator, she suddenly saw Brother Zhang.

It seems they are waiting for him.

The other person waved to him: "Xiao Yu, I'll take you home."

Yu Huan smiled and politely declined, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, but my classmate invited me to get some late-night snacks at the South Gate. I'll go by myself, so I won't trouble you. Thanks!"

With that, the two entered the elevator together.

"It's on my way, no need to thank me." Brother Zhang raised his hand and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses: "Next time you need me to give you a ride, don't be shy, just say so."

"Okay." Yu Huan nodded.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two parted ways in front of the Lianhe Zaobao building.

Yu Huan parked her car in a roadside parking space not far from the Zaobao building.

After all, he used to ride an electric scooter. If his colleagues saw this, it would cause a stir, and he couldn't be bothered to explain.

Furthermore, I don't plan to drive this car to and from get off work in the future.

In a city with traffic congestion, and for such a short distance, commuting efficiency is really not as good as a small electric scooter.

The early morning wind was particularly biting, and Yu Huan could only try to keep her neck warm by tucking it into her scarf.

The whooshing sound of the wind only disappeared after the car door was closed.

Insert the key and start the car.

Turn on the air conditioner by turning the button, and then play the car's music.

Yu Huan rubbed his hands, which were a little stiff from the cold, released the mechanical handbrake, put one hand in his pocket, and put the other on the steering wheel.

Driving this BMW 3 Series, I slowly pulled out of the parking space. As soon as the intro started, the orange sunrise of the 90s shone on my face.

"Maybe there's too much I don't understand, maybe it's my fault~"

inside the car.

No one was around.

I never imagined our relationship would end like this; my heart is so heavy.

Following Dou Xian'er's rock and metal vocals, Yu Huan shook his head and howled:

"I just remember the promises we made to each other, and all those impulsive moments, yeah~"

"What you possess is your body, your alluring beauty; what I possess is my memories, my wonderful feelings~ MyBaby~"

Unconsciously.

As the song was about to end, Yu Huan hurriedly switched it to repeat.

Surprisingly, Lin Yourong's musical tastes are somewhat similar to his.

Yu Huan arrived at her destination quickly, accompanied by the rock music playing on repeat.

Nanmenkou is at the southernmost end of the pedestrian street.

The city gates of the old city were located here, hence the name.

The "old place" Xie Gouhua mentioned refers to the square below the commercial building at the South Gate, where various late-night food stalls are set up every night.

West Lake Bridge is only a ten-minute walk from here, and Xie Gouhua often invites Yu Huan here for a late-night snack.

later.

Because a subway entrance was built here, and with the subsequent renovations that prohibited street vending and affected the city's appearance, the lively atmosphere was gone.

A familiar road.

When Yu Huan finally found them by following the sheds, she lifted the transparent curtain that blocked the wind and saw Xie Gouhua blowing on a bottle.

There were seven people at the table, five men and two women.

They sat around a round table, seemingly playing a game of truth or dare.

One of the people sitting between Xie Gouhua and Fang Yuting was already passed out drunk, slumped on the table like a dead pig, not moving at all.

It looks like Zhao Yuan?

Dog.

here you go!

Yu Huan secretly gave Xie Gouhua a thumbs up.

Anyone could see Zhao Yuan's little secret thoughts about Fang Yuting that he dared not say outright. He was playing truth or dare, so why was he being pressured to drink so much?

Xie Gouhua, who was tilting his head back and blowing on the bottle, suddenly saw Yu Huan.

Underneath his open, knee-length trench coat was a neatly tailored suit and tie, and his hair was combed back and styled with hair wax.

Xie Gouhua had never seen him so formally dressed before, which caused him to choke on his drink.

He hurriedly released his mouth, coughed a few times, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and shouted a greeting:

"President Huan is here!"

"So cool, Boss Huan!" someone echoed.

"I almost didn't recognize her."

"All smiles in public, but a sly one behind closed doors, right?" Yu Huan laughed and said, "Gouzi, I'm dressed a bit formally today because I have some business to attend to. Don't make fun of me!"

During the banquet.

Several male classmates were all flushed and had thick necks from drinking.

When they saw him arrive, they all greeted him.

Yu Huan responded repeatedly.

"What's the matter? Why are you dressed so formally?"

When another female classmate asked Yu Huan this question, Xie Gouhua jokingly replied, "He went to be a groomsman."

“Yes, I was a groomsman.” Yu Huan nodded.

Fang Yuting, turning to the side, tilted her head and smiled sweetly at him, saying, "Yu Huan, come and sit down. What would you like to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huan simply smiled and nodded, responding with a curt "Yes."

"Boss lady! Bring another chair!" Xie Gouhua shouted at the top of his lungs.

Yu Huan ordered a plate of fried rice and a dozen grilled oysters from the proprietress who came after hearing the noise. Then, she leaned her cane against the awning and sat down next to Xie Gouhua.

A warm, scorching sensation spread to my legs.

Yu Huan bent down and looked down, only to see a basin of blazing charcoal fire under the table.

No wonder it didn't feel so cold as soon as I came in.
