Chapter 27 High School Reunion
Su Xiaoxiao studied in the international department of high school, and most of her classmates went to the United States after graduation.
This is their first year after graduating from high school, and many of their classmates are still immersed in memories of their high school life. So a few of the students in the original class with organizational skills took the lead in organizing a class reunion, which was scheduled for the evening of December 29, in a Western restaurant in New York.
I heard that Su Xiaoxiao also came to New York for Christmas, and everyone invited her to come with her. Su Xiaoxiao also missed his former classmates, so he readily agreed.
In the morning, he was dragged by Yan Yimo to the gym to exercise and strengthen his resistance, Su Xiaoxiao was tired, so he came back and took a shower and slept until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon. When I opened my eyes and looked at my phone, everyone was ready to go, and a somersault rolled out of bed, not at all like the usual mud and water.
I quickly picked up the clothes I had prepared last night and put them on, and put on a light makeup. smiled at myself in the mirror, took a sip of lipstick, and felt pretty good.
Although it turned out that many girls who loved beauty began to wear makeup when they were in high school, Su Xiaoxiao had not had much contact with cosmetics. One is because she is lazy and doesn't have enough time to sleep every day; The second is also because she doesn't have that mind. The friends and boyfriends around him have all changed, and Su Xiaoxiao has never talked about any of them, and she has been single until her freshman year, until she reunites with Yan Yimo.
"Mr. Yi, I'll go first. The restaurant is not far away, so I can just take a taxi myself. ”
Su Xiaoxiao walked forward and poked her head at the door of the study and squeaked with Yan Yimo.
"Hmm."
Yan Yimo lifted his eyelids and reminded her like a patriarch, "Send me a message when the evening is almost over, I'll pick you up, and," Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was about to leave with her bag, "Don't run around when it's dark, drink less." ”
"I know, I know, I'm not a kid anymore."
After that, he flew out of the house lightly, leaving only the crisp chimes of Christmas wind chimes hanging on the door, "Ah, the driver has arrived." Bye-bye~"
In the evening, the traffic in New York was a little congested, and everyone was basically there when Su Xiaoxiao arrived.
Seeing the old classmates who hadn't seen him for a few months, Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a smile and greeted everyone one by one. In just half a year, everyone seems to have matured a lot. has faded away from the youthful childishness, and at first glance it looks like a group of adults sitting together. But as soon as he spoke, it was still the same tone.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and sat next to Xu Yashu, she was one of Su Xiaoxiao's good friends in high school.
Today, Xu Yashu dressed up specially and wore a mohair lotus pink one-neck sweater. With elegance between gestures, but without losing the vitality of a girl's youth, Su Xiaoxiao shook her head in admiration again and again.
"Yashu, you are really beautiful today. If I met you on the street just now, I would have to look at you twice, and then I wouldn't dare to recognize you. ”
Xu Yashu was embarrassed to be praised and laughed, "Su Xiaoxiao, you really haven't changed at all, your little mouth is like smeared with honey." Then he touched Su Xiaoxiao's black sweater, "Hey, where did you buy this dress, it feels so designed." ”
"This one? It's _xxxx._ that brand. Two days ago, I went shopping and bought it at a glance, isn't it very good-looking! ”
Su Xiaoxiao looked stunned, tugged at his sleeves and said, "I like this sleeve very much, you see it like this, and then like this, it feels different." ”
"Really," Xu Yashu looked like it on her face and couldn't put it down, "I'll go shopping in two days." ”
The two chatted with their classmates for a while, and when they looked up, they saw Ou Yuan who had just entered the restaurant.
The squad leader smiled and beckoned, "Ou Yuan, here, everyone is here, and it's up to you." ”
The classmates who came early all sat together with their original friends in twos and threes, leaving only two vacant seats next to the class leader and Su Xiaoxiao. Everyone looked at Ou Yuan gossips, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao. Some classmates coaxed Ou Yuan to sit next to Su Xiaoxiao,
"Hey, Ou Yuan, it's really busy." The squad leader patted Ou Yuan on the shoulder, "You see if you want to sit with Xiaoxiao or next to me, the big fat man." ”
Seeing that everyone was so coaxing, Ou Yuan couldn't refute everyone's interest, sat down next to Su Xiaoxiao, and nodded politely at her.
Su Xiaoxiao also responded politely, then turned her head and subconsciously moved to Xu Yashu's side.
I met my classmates for three years in a foreign country, and it was the first party after graduation, and everyone had a very happy chat. From the gossip stories in high school, to all kinds of strange things encountered after college, the atmosphere that was still a little dull suddenly became active, and there was a feeling of unfinished conversation until almost nine o'clock. The squad leader suggested going to a famous nearby bar to renew the stall.
Su Xiaoxiao hasn't been to a bar since she went abroad, so she doesn't want to go a little bit. But Xu Yashu especially wanted to go, and kept holding her arm and coquettishly asking her to accompany her, and Su Xiaoxiao agreed with a soft heart. Before going out, he sent a message to Yan Yimo: I estimate that I will go back later, and they will go to the bar.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Yan Yimo didn't reply to the message, Su Xiaoxiao put the phone back in her bag.
"Yo, boyfriend." Xu Yashu didn't want to peek, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mr. Yi's remarks, and whispered, "When did we Su Xiaoxiao get off the list." ”
Su Xiaoxiao felt that Xu Yashu was a little drunk now, and she didn't want to sing and chat with her, but she just laughed a few times and passed perfunctorily.
Who knew that such a whispered conversation between the two was heard by Ou Yuan next to him, he didn't make a sound, but his face sank significantly.
When she arrived at the bar, Su Xiaoxiao asked for a glass of Ginger Tonic. She was timid and knew where her alcohol was, so she ordered a non-alcoholic drink the first time she came to the bar, not wanting to get drunk. When the drink was ready, Su Xiaoxiao said hello to everyone, got up and walked to the bathroom, wanting to stay alone for a while.
After talking for too long, I felt a little deprived of oxygen in my head.
Su Xiaoxiao shook the water in his hand at the sink, and then sorted out his hair casually, and just pushed open the door of the bathroom when he met Ou Yuan, who had just come out of the bathroom. The two looked at each other, Su Xiaoxiao felt that the atmosphere was cold to the freezing point, smiled awkwardly, and was stopped from behind as soon as he wanted to leave.
Ou Yuan originally chased Su Xiaoxiao when he was in high school. Because of his good grades, good family background, and middle-class appearance, he was born with a sense of superiority, feeling that there was nothing he couldn't take, and the scene of confessing to Su Xiaoxiao was also huge, and everyone had to know it.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was only in her second year of high school at the time, was startled, feeling that she didn't know the boy opposite at all, and she hadn't said a few words, so why was she confessed inexplicably. She had no choice but to say sincerely in front of everyone: "Thank you for liking me, but I don't like you." Then he bowed his head slightly to express his apologies.
The two haven't crossed paths since. Although everyone always likes to joke about them, Su Xiaoxiao only thinks that the curiosity of high school students gossip is haunting, and she is not annoyed by not explaining much.
"Su Xiaoxiao, I heard that you have a boyfriend?"
Ou Yuan raised his eyebrows, and his black eyes couldn't see what they looked in the dim light.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to deny it and was lazy to pay attention to him, so he snorted.
Unexpectedly, Ou Yuan looked reluctant, and after hearing Su Xiaoxiao's answer, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "I've always liked you very much, why can't I be able to do it when others can?" ”
The voice was not loud, but it gave Su Xiaoxiao a hysterical feeling.
She was stunned for a moment, and shook off Ou Yuan's hand unhappily, "Please be respectful." ”
Then he repeated what he had said a few years ago, word by word, "Thank you for liking me, but I don't like you." After thinking about it for a while, he added, "I hope you can meet a girl you like and like you." ”
Handsomely turned around and walked to the seat, Su Xiaoxiao pretended that nothing had happened and took a sip of the ginger tonic in front of him, leaving Ou Yuan standing alone.
Mint rushed to the tip of Su Xiaoxiao's nose with the stimulation of soda, she rubbed her nose, and she wanted to go home a little.
took out his mobile phone from his bag, saw two missed calls from Yan Yimo, walked to the door of the store and found a slightly quieter place to call back. Soon, Yan Yimo's familiar voice came from the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Mr. Yi, I want to go home. Su Xiaoxiao said softly.
"Okay, I'll pick you up. What's the name of the store? ”
"It seems to be Death&Co," Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the door of the store, afraid that Yan Yimo would not find it, and added, "It's here in the East Village." ”
"Well, you're waiting for me in the store, and you'll be there in a quarter of an hour."
Yan Yimo's cold voice made Su Xiaoxiao feel reassured, "Don't come out to blow the wind." ”
"Well, I know, I'm waiting for you right here."
He Yan Yimo hung up the phone, Su Xiaoxiao went back to hug and say goodbye to his classmates one by one, only Ou Yuan was not there.
The squad leader was a little drunk, and he said to the people around him at the top of his voice, "Where did Ou Yuan go?" Xiaoxiao is leaving, and he doesn't say goodbye. ”
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled, but she didn't explain anything. After settling the bill, I took my bag and went out to the door, and the black Wrangler stopped at the door of the store.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's small figure, Yan Yimo pulled the car door and got out of the car and helped Su Xiaoxiao open the co-pilot's door.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't laugh and jump into the car like usual, she suddenly hugged Yan Yimo tightly. Smelling the familiar smell of tobacco on his body, he felt very down-to-earth and safe.
Yan Yimo felt that Su Xiaoxiao had something in her heart, but seeing that she didn't say anything, she didn't ask, just patted her head gently.
Suddenly, a light snow fell in the sky, piece by piece, falling on Su Xiaoxiao's body.
Cold, cool.
But she felt that it was the warmest winter.
