Chapter 1 A long time away
Chapter 1 is a farewell for many years
"Xiao Zhen, are you going to this class reunion?" Su Zhen's best friend Cheng Lan sent a WeChat message. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing her news, Su Zhen had a momentary shock, for no other reason, but after graduating for so many years, she had never attended a high school reunion.
Speaking of which, it is also Su Zhen's own reason, after graduating from high school, she enthusiastically applied for a university in another place, thinking about going out to have a good time, every time the classmates proposed a party, either they had not taken a vacation, or they were stopped by their mother after coming back, so that it has been more than two years since they graduated from college, and they have not participated in a party.
Cheng Lan asked her for the first time, because before this, she and Su Zhen had never participated, but they had a good relationship and could always squeeze out a little time to meet, get together, and talk about each other's recent situation.
Seeing that Su Zhen hadn't replied for a long time, Cheng Lan sent a second message: "Xiao Zhen, are you going or not?" ā
"Of course I went, it's rare that I've not been very busy lately, so I have time to ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»" Su Zhen came back to his senses and quickly replied.
"I heard he's coming, too! It's as if this party was the beginning of his life! After receiving the reply, Cheng Lan immediately added another sentence.
He ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»
Su Zhen doesn't remember how long she hasn't mentioned him, she has seen him, it has been more than six years, the day she graduated from high school and received her graduation certificate, her fingers clasped her graduation certificate tightly, but her eyes fell on him who was standing at the school gate and laughing with a group of people, and then, when she heard the sound of her mother urging her to get into the car, she retracted her gaze, turned around and opened the car door and sat down, never looking at it again.
As the car pulls into the traffic and drifts away, the school's landmark becomes farther and farther away in the rearview mirror until it disappears.
Seeing that Su Zhen didn't reply again, Cheng Lan continued to send noisy messages: "Xiao Zhen, have you changed your mind?" ā
Cheng Lan asked cautiously, but she was silent, to be honest, when she saw the content posted by Cheng Lan, she did want to change her mind, but after thinking about it, why did she dodge and avoid it? Although they used to have a relationship, but so much time has passed, at least they are still classmates, aren't they? If she pretends to avoid going away, it will seem that she is a child.
So on the day of the party, Su Zhen still went to pick up Cheng Lan and arrived at the party place on time, he set the location at a newly opened hot pot restaurant in the city, and the store was decorated with the charm of Chongqing, so Cheng Lan quietly praised Su Zhen from the beginning of entering the door, admiring the vision and taste of the owner of this shop.
Led by the waiter to the reserved private room, I saw that a group of original classmates had already taken their seats, talking and laughing, those originally young faces are now more mature, and they are no longer the same as they were when they were wearing school uniforms, for Su Zhen, who came to the party for the first time, it was still a little impossible to jump out of the memories.
"Huh? Cheng Lan! Su Zhen! The two of you actually came, and the two of you haven't participated in the party all these years! ā
Su Zhen smiled and nodded in response, Cheng Lan had already pulled her to find a place, and was about to take a seat, when she heard the classmate call Su Zhen's name just now: "Su Zhen, that position ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»" He seemed to want to say something, but when Su Zhen looked at him, he turned to adjust the dipping sauce again, and she sat down without taking it seriously.
When he was looking down to untie the belt of his trench coat, a person passed by behind him, Su Zhen felt him pause behind him, then pulled out the chair next to him and sat down, put the dipping bowl on the table, and then reached out and took away the cup with half a cup of tea left on the table in front of her.
Su Zhen stopped with both hands and looked along the arm, only then did he realize what the classmate wanted to say to himself just now, he wanted to say: Su Zhen, the position you are sitting in is Shen Xi's!
At this time, only this sentence was echoing in Su Zhen's brain, and she felt a little embarrassed inexplicably, neither standing nor sitting, especially when she was still holding the edge of her windbreaker in her hand, and she was still in a state of not being able to take it off.
And Shen Xi had already drunk the tea by herself, so she withdrew her gaze, took off her windbreaker and turned around to put it on the back of the chair, while trying her best to alleviate the slight heat caused by the embarrassment just now.
"Long time no see, Su Zhen!" A familiar voice sounded in his ears, it was from Shen Xi's words.
Su Zhen put on a windbreaker and sat upright, hooked the corners of his lips and responded with a smile: "Yes, long time no see!" ā
After greeting each other, they sat down separately and didn't say anything more, Cheng Lan came over at this time, holding a dipping bowl in one hand and two or three small tomatoes in the other, approached and handed it to Su Zhen: "Taste it, it tastes good!" ā
Su Zhen took one, took a bite, and nodded at her.
After Cheng Lan sat down, he quietly stabbed me with his elbow, almost suppressing his voice to the lowest: "What's the situation with you two?" ā
Su Zhen didn't want to mention the embarrassing scene just now, and glanced at her lightly, not planning to respond: "There is no situation." ā
Cheng Lan saw that she didn't want to elaborate, and felt that she couldn't ask anything, so she pursed her lips and sat down to dismantle her own tableware.
However, after a while, she still stuck it again, "Is there really no situation?" ā
Su Zhen was helpless, reached out and grabbed the green vegetables that Cheng Lan had just cooked with chopsticks, and put them in her bowl, "Eat well, where do you have so many words!" ā
After saying this, he suddenly heard a soft sneer in his ears, Su Zhen subconsciously turned his head to look, but saw Shen Xi slightly bending the corners of his lips to add water to his teacup, and the others didn't seem to notice anything strange here, they were all eating and drinking, talking and laughing.
Su Zhen has always had a light taste, so eating hot pot is an empty bowl with a clear soup pot, which is convenient at this time, and there is no need to walk around to mix dipping sauces, which will attract the attention of others.
After a while, someone smiled and said, "Hey, Shen Xi, will we still have activities here later?" ā
Shen Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand and replied, "Do you have any ideas?" ā
After some discussion, everyone finally decided to go to KTV to have a good time, and Shen Xi, as the initiator, readily accepted him for a treat, so Su Zhen's idea of leaving after the dinner was interrupted before he could reach the point.
When Cheng Lan's WeChat was sent to Su Zhen's mobile phone, she had just had the idea of leaving later, when she saw Cheng Lan say, "Xiao Zhen, will you go later?" Then came another: "I want to go to ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»T^T"
The expression added behind Cheng Lan made Su Zhen want to laugh a little, and he would go if he wanted to, so he replied: "It's okay to sit for a while, but you can't drink, my car is not responsible for sending drunks home!" ā
Cheng Lan saw her agree, and immediately returned with a smile, and Su Zhen shook his head speechlessly.
After the group came out of the hot pot restaurant, Shen Xi asked, "Who is driving?" ā
Cheng Lan replied first: "Xiao Zhen is open!" Then two more people answered, Shen Xi swept through all the people, paused slightly, and said: "I also drove the car, there are not many of us, four cars are a little crowded is enough, I set the location at the cash cabinet, everyone get in the car and leave!" ā
Su Zhen nodded, Cheng Lan took her arm and walked towards the parking place, and when she got to the side of the car, Cheng Lan spontaneously sat in the co-pilot, she started the car, but found that all the female classmates went to take Shen Xi's car, and the rest of the male classmates also found their own cars to sit in, she saw that there were three people who couldn't sit down, and they were about to honk the horn to signal, so she saw them take a taxi and leave.
In fact, Su Zhen understood in his heart why they would rather take a taxi than come over, although everyone never mentioned what happened to her and Shen Xi at the beginning, but more or less everyone still remembered, remembering how they started abruptly at that time and how abruptly they ended, so in fact, they were still upset about Shen Xi.
As the car caught up with the car in front, the colored light of the neon lights also flashed in front of her eyes, flashing, Su Zhen was silent, but Cheng Lan couldn't bear it, turned her head and asked her: "If he still loves you, will you turn back?" ā
Cheng Lan's words were asked suddenly, Su Zhen stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car immediately increased for a moment, and he almost didn't kiss the rear of Shen Xi's car. She didn't think about this problem, since the separation at that time, she clearly realized that she and him couldn't go far, so she never planned to turn back, the same thing, Su Zhen didn't want to come back a second time, she believed that Shen Xi was the same.
Su Zhen's non-answer made Cheng Lan's eyes flash, and he suddenly sighed and persuaded: "If you can, I still want to persuade you to try again, you have been trapped all these years, if you don't try once, how do you know if it's because of him?" ā
"Cheng Lan!" Su Zhen raised his voice and said with a slight warning: "I've said it many times, it has nothing to do with him, it's just that I'm used to being alone, don't mention this topic again!" ā
Cheng Lan saw her like this, and didn't mention it anymore, and was silent all the way to the KTV parking lot, after Su Zhen parked the car steadily, Cheng Lan didn't get out of the car, Su Zhen looked at her, and she also turned to look at her: "Xiao Zhen, don't deceive yourself, you said that you are not suitable, but have you met the right person over the years?" No! You don't look down on the people who chase you, you say you're used to being alone, but how long do you want to live like a man? Women always need a man to take care of them! ā
"I see, get out of the car!" If she doesn't go in again, she doesn't want to go in again, Cheng Lan probably saw that Su Zhen's emotions were not high enough for herself, so she closed her mouth and got out of the car to urge her to lock the door.
Entering the box, some people were already crowded to order songs, the sofa was occupied by most of it, only Shen Xi's side was left with about three people, Cheng Lan unceremoniously crossed the crowd and pulled Su Zhen to sit there, Su Zhen pulled his arm, but it didn't work, but Cheng Lan pressed her arm and whispered: "I sat down for dinner just now, what's wrong with sitting for a while now?" ā
Su Zhen sighed almost inaudibly, finally sat down, and then moved a little towards her, and did not respond to her again, she was at ease, first pinched a piece of watermelon from the fruit bowl and ate it, and then wiped her hands and squeezed over to order songs, Su Zhen leaned back on the sofa in the noisy singing, and her thoughts began to empty.
What Cheng Lan said Su Zhen clearly knew in her heart that she was doing it for her own good, so she didn't get angry with her, but the reason why she and Shen Xi were separated still exists to this day, so why talk about going back?
Shen Xi was in their class at that time, he was a typical rich and handsome, whether it was his appearance, height, ability or grades, he was one of the best in the class, and the girls in the class liked to come over to talk to him as soon as they got out of class, and there was no shortage of people from other classes who came to look for him.
The girl's fate is very good, he is his own consistent style, he will not snub others, nor will he reject others, when Su Zhen was a buddy with him, he was especially worried about him, which girl like him dares to be his girlfriend, what a big crisis this must be! Especially when he didn't think it was a crisis, he thought it was a sign of a friendly and close relationship between everyone, but he didn't expect that she had been worried about him for a long time, but the crisis was put on her own.
Suddenly, something was stuffed in her hand, Su Zhen came back to her senses in an instant, Cheng Lan pestled her, and said angrily: "What do you want!" The microphone is in your hands! Su Zhen looked at her blankly, and shook the microphone in her hand again, not knowing what she meant.
"I'm sorry, I just got distracted!" Su Zhen said apologetically to these classmates, and then was about to hand the microphone to Cheng Lan, but these classmates coaxed and didn't let Cheng Lan take over, "Su Zhen, it's your turn and you don't pick up the song, so you have to be punished!" Let's say, be honest or be brave! Pick one! ā
Su Zhen let out an "oh" and said, "Then be honest!" ā
After she made her choice, everyone stopped talking, obviously not expecting her to choose honesty, Cheng Lan was also shocked, surprised that she chose honesty.
In fact, Su Zhen will not choose bravery, because bravery means that it is very likely to accept some of their requirements because they are willing to gamble and lose, these people are not a big deal at the beginning, and now she doesn't believe that they don't have more ideas, and when she can't do it again, it will be even more impossible to end.
"I'll ask, I'll ask!" Shen Lang shouted loudly, squeezed through between them, and asked, "Sister Zhen, do you have a boyfriend now?" ā
Su Zhen was about to answer, but the phone rang suddenly, she glanced down, pinched it in her hand, replied with a low "sorry", got up and walked out of the box.
They who stayed behind laughed, "Shen Lang, you wasted a question, this look will have the answer, I should have asked it if I knew it!" ā
Walking into the bathroom quickly, Su Zhen pressed the answer, and his mother's voice came out: "Zhenzhen, when are you going home?" ā
"Later, today's class reunion, I'll take Cheng Lan with me, and I'll be back when I send her home later!"
Mom was still a little uneasy, and continued: "You send the address to your brother, I told him, and he will pick you up later!" ā
"No need, Mom, I drove the car myself, and I'll send Cheng Lan later!"
Mom didn't compromise, "Your brother's car was sent for maintenance, he took a taxi over, drove your car and sent Cheng Lan away, just to pick you up!" ā
Su Zhen couldn't resist her, so she had to respond, "Okay, I know!" I hung up the phone and called my brother again, telling me the address and approximate time.
When she walked out of the bathroom, she was startled by a dark shadow at the door, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Shen Xi, who was leaning against the wall, and the dim light reflected his facial expression, but it made his voice particularly clear: "Boyfriend's phone?" ā
