Chapter Seventy-Seven: Questions and Answers
Tianyuan Hotel, Room 808.
There are two tables in the box, all of which are large round tables common to hotels, and the atmosphere is joyful, and many old students gather together in twos and threes to tell about the old campus days.
In Chen Xiao's memory, he has always been a translucent figure in the class, an introverted classmate who is unsociable, does not participate in activities, does not speak in class, and goes home after class.
"! Is this your girlfriend? ”
"Chen Xiao, you're handsome again!"
"Chen Xiao, your girlfriend is so good-looking, you are so damned!"
The moment he walked into the box, Chen Xiao attracted a lot of attention, and he expected this scene. The average height of women in Fujian Province is only 160, and girls who are usually above 1.7 meters can get a lot of heads, not to mention Li Yuanshuang, who is 1.8 meters.
"Just a friend."
Chen Xiao replied with a smile, and sat down with Li Yuanshuang, and the squad leader next to him had already enthusiastically poured juice for the two of them.
"Thank you."
Li Yuanshuang pursed her lips and was silent, her dark eyes looked around quietly, and at this time, she was completely sure of one thing in her heart - Chen Xiao's background is really ordinary, and she is really a grassroots without any background.
This can be seen from his social circle.
The boxes are just ordinary people, there is no one who is awakened, the vast majority of them are working families, even some young people who seem to be dressed in expensive clothes, they still belong to the ordinary class, at most they are only middle class.
You must know that the upper class of society is completely different from the ordinary people, and this gap is far from being bridged by money.
——
The dishes came up one by one, most of them were seafood delicacies, and there was red wine as a companion, red wine was ordinary wine, more than 200 yuan per bottle.
The box was still lively, and the squad leader was familiar with organizing topic scenes, so as not to let the atmosphere fall into a cold scene, and everyone chatted with each other, and there was no unhappiness or scene against Chen Xiao.
After graduation, those who can still take time to attend the class reunion are not ordinary classmates who nod their heads, but at least they can be regarded as good friends, otherwise this class reunion will be meaningless.
As for the students who don't get along well on campus, they are separated after graduation and rarely get in touch again.
Class reunions after graduation are sometimes really not so intrigued.
As a transparent figure in the previous class, Chen Xiao still played the previous introverted role, most of him was listening, and he did not take the initiative to speak.
It's just a pity that Chen Xiao regretted that the topics of the classmates' chats were not focused on the previous school days, but more about the present, such as the fact that a certain classmate was admitted to the establishment again, a certain classmate was divorced, which leader was taken down, and so on.
When talking about this, the squad leader took a sip of red wine and sighed loudly: "It's too difficult to marry a wife now, the bride price is 200,000 yuan, the house is 3 million, and the banquet is 3 gold, and I really don't see hope." ”
Born in a rural family, Chen Yongxiong, the class president, has been an outstanding representative of the class since he was a child, he was admitted to Rongcheng University, which is one of the top three schools in Fujian Province.
All this is just because he can't buy a local house in Rongcheng and can't pay the local bride price in Rongcheng.
Another strange classmate next to him also sighed and said: "Class leader, your situation is better now, at least you have entered a state-owned enterprise, there are two or three hundred thousand a year, and talents like us who can't even pass the exam are hopeless." ”
"The screen is selling urgently, and they all say that young people have unlimited possibilities, if you want me to talk about the possibility of a fart, the fate of our people at the bottom has already been doomed, how can we turn over!"
"You have it, you still have a bachelor's degree, and I didn't get a college exam!" Another classmate next to him was talking.
"The future of the specialty is promising, what are the specialties afraid of!"
"Don't say anything, take a step!"
"Punch!"
"Punch and punch!"
"Come!"
After a short period of sensationalism, it was the beginning of a new round of war, Chen Xiao noticed that a girl next to him walked out, he stood up, and motioned for Li Yuanshuang to stay here,
Then he walked out slowly.
——
Outside the Tianyuan Hotel, the good-looking girl was holding her mobile phone to her ear, looking like she was on the phone, her face was flushed, her expression was excited, and she seemed to be arguing with the other party who answered the phone.
If he remembers correctly, this girl is called Lin Siping, his high school classmate, who had a crush on him before and wrote him love letters.
Chen Xiao magnified her senses and knew the content of Lin Siping's conversation.
It was her boyfriend who called, and the man on the phone hated and scolded Lin Siping for cheating, looking for a wild man, and not going home at night to drink outside.
Although Lin Siping tried his best to explain, the man didn't listen at all, but scolded even more fiercely, and the dirty and obscene words were piled up one after another, and finally hung up the phone.
Lin Siping stood at the door with red eyes, pursed her lips silently, and tried to digest the bad emotions in her heart.
"Hey, looks like you're not in a good mood."
Chen Xiao stepped forward with a smile and greeted her politely.
"Chen, Chen Xiao."
A flash of panic flashed in Lin Siping's eyes, she quickly smiled, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and explained: "The smell of smoke in the box is too strong, I choke my eyes, I came out to breathe." ”
"Well, it's cleaner out there, too."
Chen Xiao stood next to her, looked at the traffic on the street, and said, "How are you doing all these years?" ”
"Huh?"
Lin Siping was stunned, took two steps back without a trace, and said thoughtfully: "How to say it, it's okay, I work in a bank in a small county, and I'm tired, but it's more stable, and I don't know if it's good or ......not."
"What about you?"
Chen Xiao showed a complicated expression on his face, and said softly: "I had a car accident a few months ago, and the doctor said that there was a blood clot in my brain that was blocked, causing the loss of memory fragments from the past. ”
"I sometimes struggle because I don't know what kind of person I really am and what I used to be like, so I don't feel very happy."
"And do you remember me?" Lin Siping stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Chen Xiao, and said suspiciously: "Do you really not remember what you did in high school?" ”
"I don't remember exactly, for example, you used to sit in front of me, and I often asked you to borrow tissues." Chen Xiao looked at her with a sincere expression: "Actually, I want to ask you, what kind of person I was in high school, do you still have an impression?" ”
