In order to accompany the pianist back to his alma mater to attend the charity performance, Tang Xin had to give up the long-awaited trip to Dali. Deeply guilty of her behavior of valuing sex over friends, she not only went around looking for travel companions for me, but also offered to contract the cost of our flights and hotels, as if no one wanted to travel with me without a little sweetness. It's a pity that Tang Xin's efforts ended in failure after all. Seeing that I was less than half a month away from traveling, it would be too difficult for me to find a suitable candidate in such a short period of time. So, I decided to go with the flow of fate and go on a solo trip. As for my thoughts, Tang Xin disagrees with 10,000. She was worried that I would get lost without a sense of direction, and that I would be deceived if I was gullible with others.

"How can you go alone? Regardless of public security issues, it is inevitable that you will encounter all kinds of unexpected things when you go out. In a city where you don't know the place well, if you encounter some problems and you don't even have someone to talk to, aren't you afraid? ”

"It is said that the owner of the inn is very nice and can look for her if necessary. Even if she can't help, isn't there still a policeman...... Even children know that it is difficult to find the police, haha! ”

"Now you can put it simply, if there is really a person who is afraid that you will cry, it will be too late......" Tang Xin snorted heavily.

"I'm not that weak...... if I had to say that my high school experience had any positive impact on me, then the perseverance I developed out of helplessness was one of them.

"Or ...... Shall we go another day? Anyway, it's not interesting to go alone...... "Probably knowing that he couldn't persuade me, Tang Xin's attitude became softened.

"It's not what you said, now is the best time to eat mushrooms, if you miss it, you have to wait another year, how can you reschedule? Don't worry, it's just a short trip, what big things can happen......" In view of the fact that my senior brother finally approved my leave, the work handover was completed, and my colleagues were still expecting me to bring them flowers and cakes as souvenirs, so I did not plan to change the schedule.

"Or ...... You ask Mei Fangxun? There aren't many performances in April, she should be free......" After a moment of silence, Tang Xin proposed in a hesitant manner.

"Don't!" I replied huffingly.

Of course, I never mentioned to Tang Xin that I had a grudge against my high school classmates, but with my cold attitude towards re-encountering old acquaintances, she could not have guessed that the relationship between me and Mei Fangxun was not good enough to meet for a trip. Although Mei Fangxun and I didn't have a holiday, considering that she still kept in touch with her high school classmates, I naturally wanted to avoid getting involved with her as much as possible. So, when Mei Fangxun asked for my contact information, I pushed her request with the childish and ridiculous lie of forgetting to bring my phone. Unexpectedly, the kind-hearted Mei Fangxun didn't expose my lies, and went to Tang Xin instead. For this reason, Tang Xin also said with feelings: It's all because she was carried away by love, otherwise she wouldn't have been so negligent and accidentally "betrayed" me. I reluctantly approved Mei Fangxun's friend application, and then chatted with her about my current situation under her concern and greetings. Perhaps because of the disagreement between me and other classmates, Mei Fangxun was very understanding and did not mention the matter of letting me join the high school class. However, this does not mean that she has no intention of brokering our reconciliation.

"You work in a publishing house? What a coincidence, Dong Yiling is also engaged in this work! I don't know if you remember her ......"

"Is it the girl who is quiet and good with you? seems to be a little impressed...... "Actually, I still remember those people and things in high school, however, I don't want to admit to Mei Fangxun that I still have nostalgia for the past, lest she have unnecessary expectations." How can I shake hands with those who have hurt me?

Mei Fangxun didn't seem to notice my perfunctory attitude, and continued to say in a cordial tone: "Since you are peers, you might as well contact us, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future......" After speaking, Mei Fangxun pushed Dong Yiling's business card to me. "Actually...... After you transferred to another school, Yiling and I talked about you occasionally...... Although you don't know her well, she has always believed that you are not that kind of person......"

Hearing Mei Fangxun's sudden outpouring of heart, my eyes suddenly moistened. I never thought that in the overwhelming hostility and malice, there was a little warmth hidden, let alone that the person who gave me this unconditional and unwavering trust would be Dong Yiling, who always hid behind others. That alone is enough to make me grateful.

I think Mei Fangxun told her in advance, and Dong Yiling quickly approved my friend application. I accidentally clicked on her circle of friends and found that several of the photos were very familiar. When I asked, I found out that Dong Yiling not only worked in the same publishing house as me, but also lived in the same dormitory building as me. It's just that her promotion planning department is downstairs from the editorial department, and her working hours are not as free as ours, so we haven't met by chance.

"What room do you live in? I'm coming for you! The information stacked with emojis reveals Dong Yiling's excitement and expectation, as if we are still high school boarding students, and welcome classmates to visit the door all the time.

Although I was busy preparing for the trip, I was not in the mood to entertain guests, but I couldn't bear to disappoint Dong Yiling, hesitated for a while, and finally told Dong Yiling the room number.

In less than five minutes, the elated Dong Yiling appeared in front of my door. In addition to growing a little taller, Dong Yiling has also become more active and talkative than before, so it seems that her life is quite smooth.

"Yin Ran...... You've changed so much...... Maybe we've met before, but I didn't recognize you, hehe......"

"Really......" I looked down at my pajama suit, feeling a little embarrassed. Belch...... Please come in ......"

"Thank you!" After Dong Yiling changed into the slippers I had prepared for her, she began to visit my house unceremoniously. "The curtains are pretty good...... The TV is so old, you haven't changed it...... And the rattan chairs, which are so piercing......"

I silently followed behind her, muttering a few words.

"Wow, this sofa is so beautiful! Where did you buy it? ”

"I don't know...... My friend sent me ...... Do you want tea? "I tried to be hospitable, but obviously failed.

"Am I bothering you?" Dong Yiling flattened her mouth, looking a little aggrieved.

"Of course not......," I denied, shaking my head against my will.

"I want to ...... We are colleagues, neighbors, and former classmates...... It's rare to be so fateful, can we get along well and take care of each other in the future? ”

"Of course!" I grinned stiffly.

"Great!" Dong Yiling smiled and said, "I'm going to bake biscuits in the dormitory this weekend, and you must come and try them then." ”

Looking at Dong Yiling's shining eyes, I felt that my heart was full of warmth, and I agreed to her invitation without thinking.
