Chapter 13: Graduation Reunion

Chapter 13: Graduation Reunion

TL: Etude

At the same time that Jiang Qin was out enjoying food and fun with Feng Nanshu, in the city center, at Hall One of the Longwei Hotel.

Members of Class 2, Grade 3, were arriving one after another, taking their seats.

This reunion was initiated by Qin Ziang, who had insisted on the best private room and ordered the finest banquet.

In those days, teenagers whose values were not yet fully formed tended to emulate their parents in learning how to behave and conduct themselves. Qin Ziangs father was a real estate developer, which meant that from a young age, Qin Ziang had already adopted the air of a high-value man. He had slicked-back hair, wore a suit, and sported a gold watch on his wrist.

Ladies and gentlemen, three years of high school may seem short or long, but I feel honored to have had the opportunity to be in the same class as all of you, he began.

Starting today, we are adults. So, I propose that we all raise a toast. No one is allowed to drink soft drinks, only alcohol, because what we are toasting today is not just alcohol, but maturity.

I once wrote in my QQ space, Drink to my life of upheaval and wandering, drink to my lifetime of solitude and loneliness. With this drink, Ill lead the toast.

Qin Ziang raised his glass and downed the beer in one gulp.

Imitating his fathers business-like demeanor at the dining table, he turned his glass upside down to show that not a drop was left.

The hall erupted in applause at this display.

Qin, you really dont act like a student at all. Every move you make is so mature.

Yeah, compared to you, we seem so childish.

Ziang is definitely going to be an elite once he enters society. Hes so cool.

Drink to my life of upheaval and wandering, drink to my lifetime of solitude and loneliness. This is the most domineering personal signature Ive ever seen.

Qin Ziang modestly waved his hand, saying he was just expressing his feelings, and quietly glanced at Chu Siqi sitting across from him.

Peacocks spread their feathers to attract the opposite sex, and high school students pretend to be mature for the same reason.

2008 was the peak era for non-mainstream culture, and non-mainstream quotes were also very popular. Qin Ziang felt that he indeed had a regal air, so he always kept a slight smile on his lips.

However, Chu Siqi seemed uninterested, her expression indifferent.

She was looking at her phone, worried because Jiang Qin hadnt arrived. His QQ avatar was also grayed out, which made her wonder if he even knew about the reunion.

Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open by a plump hand. Guo Zihang hurried in, apologizing as he explained that he had gone to the wrong place and had taken a while to find the right one.

Hey, Guo Zihang, why did you come alone? Didnt Jiang Qin come with you?

Oh, hes doing business. Hes been really busy recently, so hes not coming.

Guo Zihang had initially wanted to spill the beans about Jiang Qin going out with a girl, but for some reason, he changed his story at the last moment.

But as Guo Zihang thought about it, he suddenly glanced at Chu Siqi sitting across from him. He had always thought of her as a goddess, untouchable and perfect. But today, that illusion seemed to be shattered. A goddess who speaks ill of others behind their backs, is she still a goddess?

It seemed there was a reason why Jiang Qin had turned away that day.

However, while Guo Zihang wanted to keep the peace, the others werent so keen on dropping the topic of Jiang Qin.

Besides Wang Huiru, Chu Siqi had another close friend, Yu Shasha, who was always a bit sarcastic. Upon hearing Jiang Qins name, she immediately jumped into the conversation.

Right, Siqi, didnt Jiang Qin confess his feelings for you on the last day of the college entrance exams?

Chu Siqi became angry just remembering that day: Dont mention that day, it just makes me angry. He failed in his confession and then took back his love letter, even claiming he didnt really like me. It made it seem like I was deluding myself. What kind of person does that?

Yu Shasha pursed her lips: He must have realized he couldnt win you over and was afraid of losing face and being ridiculed, so he stubbornly denied everything.

Yes, Huiru said the same thing.

Maybe its the same today.

What do you mean? Chu Siqis eyes flashed with confusion.

He knew he would be ridiculed, so he didnt dare to come today, Yu Shasha said while pouring herself some water.

Hearing this, Chu Siqis furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

Right, how could she not have thought of that possibility? Jiang Qin wasnt really indifferent; he just didnt want to be ridiculed. He wasnt actually uninterested in seeing her; he was just afraid.

Hmph, serves him right.

He deserved it for treating her that way. Let him suffer a bit and see who will end up regretting and crying in the future.

Chu Siqis pride surged, and she clenched her small teeth together tightly.

Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and Wang Huiru hurried in, apologizing just like Guo Zihang had.

Sorry, I got held up on the way. What were you all talking about?

We were talking about Jiang Qin. He was afraid of being embarrassed, so he didnt come. Isnt that funny?

Upon hearing this, Wang Huirus expression froze, and even her movement to sit down paused.

The reason she was late was actually that she had run into Jiang Qin outside.

And she didnt just run into Jiang Qin
