When the next day's work was over, Lin Xiuyi immediately picked up his briefcase and walked to Sakurada Gate, quietly waiting for the arrival of Li Fan.

Speaking of which, this is the second time that Lin Xiuyi and Li Fan have met alone after their reunion, and Li Fan has also asked Lin Xiu to have a few drinks together after class. Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the two still feel extremely nostalgic when they talk about their days in Mingshan University. Thinking about it carefully, Li Fan at that time was different from most of the students in Mingshan University, although she was low-key, Lin Xiuyi still vaguely felt that Li Fan's family should be either rich or expensive. It was precisely because of the slightly inferior self-esteem at that time that although Lin Xiuyi had a good impression of Li Fan back then, he always deliberately kept a little distance from the other party. And after graduation, Lin Xiuyi never took the initiative to inquire about Li Fan's situation, Lin Xiuyi and Li Fan, who had a great friendship in college, completely lost contact with each other in the following years. Now when Lin Xiuyi thinks of himself back then, he can't help but feel a little naïve and ridiculous, so after reuniting with Li Fan, Lin Xiuyi gradually found the kind of simple friendship between the two of them who trusted each other back then.

If you talk about it, in fact, Lin Xiuyi owed Li Fan a lot of favors back then. Because he was determined to apply for college, Lin Xiuyi had to use the afternoon club time to go outside to work to save money for cram school and study materials, and at that time, almost every time, Li Fan was left in the classroom to cover for them. So if you talk about being admitted to Kagoshima University, Riho actually helped him a lot.

"How long have you been waiting here alone?"

Just when Lin Xiuyi was still recalling the past when the two of them were in the famous mountain, a familiar voice suddenly appeared behind him. Hearing Li Fan's voice, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly turned around and replied happily:

"I just got here, too! Did Riho-chan come by subway?"

"Hey, I originally thought that it wouldn't take a few stops to get from Ginza to here, but who knew that the evening rush hour train was so terrifying, I hesitated for a long time before squeezing into the train, and when I arrived at the station just now, I almost couldn't get off the train!"

"Ah...... As soon as you hear it, you know that you rarely take the train, and this is an essential training for office workers in Tokyo!"

"Hi...... If I have the chance, I'll have to try a few more times!...... Where are we going now?"

"How about going to an izakaya, there are no expensive dishes there, but now that the weather is starting to get dry, it's still nice to drink some beer!"

……

After discussing the next place, Lin Xiuyi got into a taxi with Li Fan, and soon, they came to a spot that Lin Xiuyi frequented on weekdays. Maybe it's because it's still early, but there aren't many customers at the store at this time. Lin Xiuyi and Li Fan ordered a few skewers casually, and then sat quietly in the corner and chatted about last night's blind date.

"I really didn't expect that the overseer would take the initiative to invite Miss Catherine, I thought you would have any further contact with him!"

"How is it possible.,Last night's blind date.,It's because everyone can't shirk it.,I didn't expect to meet Shuichi-kun! It's really interesting to say.,Since I returned to Tokyo.,It seems like I've always met you.,Isn't it...... Is this what fate is called?"

When Li Fan said this, he couldn't help but think of the love letter he put in Lin Xiuyi's textbook back then, when he thought of that incident, Li Fan's heart would still have a faint pain until now, after all, that love letter was finally given to Lin Xiuyi by Li Fan who finally mustered up the courage, but his true feelings became the laughing stock of those boys back then, and this kind of thing Li Fan didn't understand until now. Why did Lin Xiuyi give his love letter to Hanzo in the same class. Is it really because Lin Xiuyi doesn't like him, but why does he think that Lin Xiuyi actually had a good impression of him back then?

Because he thought of some unpleasant things when he was in Mingshan, Li Fan suddenly fell silent. She looked at Lin Xiu for a moment, and actually wanted to ask the other party why she treated her like this back then. However, because she never had the courage to say it, she began to talk about him and talked about some of his experiences in the famous mountain period.

"That...... I still remember the first time you were brought to that classroom, and when I saw you all running over the wall all at once, I thought I had encountered a bad school......! Later, when I heard that you went to work at a gas station to save money for cram school, I felt a little admired for you!"

"Ah...... Speaking of which, you really helped us a lot at that time! Because everyone didn't have a lot of money, I came up with a way to go out and work during club activities. But because no one gave us a message, everyone always took turns to stay, and after you came, you really did us a great favor!"

"So...... Are you going to bribe me with croquettes? Why did I listen to you like that?"

"Haha......"

Speaking of being happy, Li Fan and Lin Xiu raised their glasses and toasted together. When he put down the wine glass, Li Fan couldn't help but think of how he discovered Lin Xiuyi and their secrets.

Li Fan remembered that time it seemed that her father took her and her mother to the hospital together! Because Li Fan was on leave that day, when the family passed by a gas station near the school, the time was just the time for club activities in the afternoon, and Li Fan suddenly saw that his friends from the same club as him were actually working here. In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Fan suddenly hid on the side of the seat when the car drove in, pretending to tie his shoes and bowing his head. At this moment, Lin Xiuyi's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Welcome, excuse me...... Need a help cleaning your front windshield?"

……

Although so many years have passed, Li Fan knows that he still clearly remembers Lin Xiuyi's voice back then. It wasn't until the car left the gas station that Li Fan quietly raised her head, and when she turned around to peek at the employee behind the car who was cheering for herself, she was surprised to find that the person was actually Lin Xiuyi. This is also the first time she has discovered that those peers who she used to regard as bad actually slipped out of school because of her part-time job. This made Lifan, who was in the car at the time, feel very embarrassed. It was also from that time that Li Fan slowly had a trace of longing for Lin Xiuyi. After all, the situation of the Li Fan family at that time was ...... It's hard to put into words!
