Chapter Ninety-Six: Who's Who (3)
Xiao Ran was stunned for a long time at the number sent by Guan Xue, not knowing whether he should call or not. He really already has a girlfriend, and he is about to get engaged, and now she is just a stranger to Xia Chenxuan. Sighing, Xiao Ran could imagine that if she called him and told him directly, she would only be blacked out by him as a neuropathy for some reason.
I was bent on getting his contact information before, but now I finally have it, but I don't have the courage to call it, Xiao Ran shook his head with a wry smile. Fingertips stroked the string of numbers back and forth on the cold screen, but finally did not dial it out.
The high school reunion is scheduled after the New Year, and there are a lot of cars on the road these days, and it is also very congested, and the party has officially started for a while, and Xiao Ran still hasn't arrived. Just when Guan Xue wondered if Xiao Ran would not come, Xiao Ran, who had neat short hair, appeared in front of her with an apologetic face.
Guan Xue stood at the door of the box, and before she could see the person clearly, she heard Xiao Ran's voice full of apology: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
I haven't seen each other for many years, and now Xiao Ran actually makes Guan Xue inexplicably have an amazing feeling. With neat short hair, a clean and smooth face, and a pair of slightly apologetic clear eyes, I don't know if it's because I've been sick for too long, my slightly pale face actually adds a little bit of pity to me. If it weren't for the fact that she had a bit of a cold temperament on her body, which made people dare not approach easily, Fang Jun was by her side all day long, and she was afraid that more than half of the boys in the class would fall under her pomegranate skirt.
Xiao Ran saw Guan Xue standing in front of her in a daze, and couldn't help but raise her hand and wave it in front of her, seeing that she finally came back to her senses, she couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter, you don't know me? I'm Xiao Ran." ”
When Guan Xue heard this, she also laughed: "I know, I'm just surprised that you haven't changed for so many years, except that your hair is a little shorter, it's exactly the same as back then." ”
Xiao Ran greeted the other classmates one by one, and only after sitting down did he reply: "The class leader is too, it hasn't changed at all." ”
Guan Xue smiled: "Don't comfort me, my perception of myself is still very accurate, for so many years, I have not changed except for my gender and appetite, everything else is different from back then." ”
As soon as Guan Xue's words fell, there was a burst of laughter, and the people around him began to pull Guan Xue again, laughing and making trouble.
Xiao Ran also smiled lightly, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Shang Nan sitting opposite, who didn't say anything, just raised the wine glass in front of her with a smile. Xiao Ran looked at Shang Nan, who was obviously much more mature in clothes and temperament on the other side, and in a trance, he seemed to see the young man who was still humming in the teahouse with his eyes closed not long ago.
Picking up the wine glass, Xiao Ran barely pulled out a smile, and drank the wine in the cup with the bitterness in his heart overflowing little by little. As soon as he put down the glass, a boy not far away next to him also stood up with a wine glass: "Come, classmate Xiao Ran, I also toast you." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Ran poured a glass of wine again, and also stood up: "Thank you." ”
After the two of them finished drinking and re-seated, the boy smiled and said to Xiao Ran: "You may not know, you were the only goddess in my heart back then." ”
When Xiao Ran heard this, he was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Several people next to him, including Guan Xue, heard this, and they all followed and coaxed. Xiao Ran looked embarrassed, and was just about to say something, when he heard the boy continue: "It's true, it's just that I was too timid to let you know." ”
At this time, a girl next to her said with a little mockery: "Even if you know, what if you know, your boyfriend is Fang Jun from the school next door, he is handsome and rich, do you think Xiao Ran will like you?!"
Xiao Ran looked at the girl who spoke for a long time before remembering that this person was the tablemate she was in her freshman year of high school - Zhao Lan, after all these years, I didn't expect her character to have not changed at all.
When the boy heard Zhao Lan's words, he didn't get angry, just looked at Xiao Ran and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm already married." It's just that I feel that it's rare to see each other today after so long, and when we meet again next time, I don't know how many years it will take, so you should take it as a regret for me. I just wanted to know what you would say to me if I had really mustered up the courage to confess to you at that time. ”
Shang Nan saw that Xiao Ran was obviously a little overwhelmed, so he smiled and said for her: "Even if you know the answer, what can you do?
The boy also smiled: "Each of us has a different definition of youth, regret is perfect for you, and for me, knowing exactly the answer without regret is the most perfect." ”
Shang Nan just wanted to say something more, Xiao Ran waved his hand, interrupted his words, looked at the boy with extremely serious eyes, and said, "Thank you for liking me in your best youth, really." ”
When the boy heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then half-jokingly raised his wine glass and said, "Now I can sleep well when I go back, thank you." ”
Xiao Ran also picked up the wine glass in front of him, signaled, and drank it all. Xiao Ran, who has not touched wine for a long time, has been a little drunk after a few glasses of wine. The Buddha said, 'There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, can't let go', the most bitter thing is this 'can't ask for, can't let go', all people can't escape, can't hide. It would be nice if she could let go as calmly as others when she couldn't ask for it. It's a pity that she is not this kind of character, but she also wants to remember all the processes clearly, not only has she not forgotten at all, but as time goes by, it becomes clearer and clearer.
After a group of people finished eating, they planned to go to the bar together, but it was a little late, Xiao Ran was afraid that Xiao's mother would worry, so he planned to say goodbye to his classmates and leave first. I don't know when it started to rain outside, Xiao Ran's mind was a little dizzy, and he was blown by the cold wind with rain, and he suddenly felt a lot more sober. Taking a deep breath of cold air, she was about to explain the situation to Guan Xue when her arm was pulled by Shang Nan, who was standing beside her. Xiao Ran turned his head a little puzzled, Shang Nan didn't say anything, just raised his chin not far away. Xiao Ran looked in his direction, and suddenly saw Fang Jun standing alone on the side of the road with an umbrella not far away.
Fang Jun naturally wouldn't be so bored as to stand alone on the side of the road with an umbrella, and the reason why he would appear here was self-evident. Xiao Ran turned around and pulled Shang Nan beside him, followed another classmate, and got into the taxi that Guan Xue had already called.
Shang Nam sat in the taxi, only sighed slightly, and did not make a sound. This group of old classmates who drank a lot of wine and only cared about the old days, and no one cared who the person standing on the side of the road was.
Fang Jun held his umbrella and quietly looked at the row of taxis, one after another slowly drove away, until the assistant drove the car to stop beside him, he came back to his senses, and took a deep look in the direction that Xiao Ran left.
Fang Jun looked at the bandages faintly exposed on his arm, his eyebrows were low: Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, if I fell in a pool of blood now, would you really not even want to look back at me?
