Chapter 35: Class Reunion

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The class reunion was scheduled to be held in the party room of Cabin.

It was a high-end gathering place in Hai City, and the entire building provided a one-stop service.

The first floor was a disco, the second and third floors were private rooms for parties, the third floor had bathing facilities, and the fourth and fifth floors were restaurants for dining.

Everything from dining to entertainment was provided at this venue.

With such services, the expenses were also high.

However, all the attendees were from the top ten universities like the University of Science and Technology, and their careers in Hai City were not considered poor.

Moreover, class reunions were occasions for everyone to show off.

As long as they didn’t fare too poorly, they would usually attend, even if they had to push themselves.

Most of the attendees were classmates who had stayed and developed their careers in Hai City after graduation. They were all familiar faces.

“Is it true? Jiang Minhui, are you just boasting?”

“What do you mean, Lu Feichi? I’m not boasting! He did return to Hai City! Haven’t you heard about him attending the technology exhibition in the High-tech Zone? Don’t tell me you’re unaware of it!”

Jiang Minhui frowned. She sounded unhappy because she was being questioned, especially after her embarrassing incident at the restaurant yesterday.

“I know about his speech at the technology exhibition in Hai City, but when you say you’ve seen him, are you not boasting?” Lu Feichi smiled mischievously.

The other classmates nearby joined in their conversation, telling him not to bully the girls. The University of Science and Technology had always fostered a friendly and inclusive environment for female students, given the scarcity of female students.

Li Jin, standing next to Jiang Minhui, gently advised her, “Huihui, let it go. They will mock you again later.”

Jiang Minhui felt somewhat resentful. “But I really saw him! It was at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Yunshang!”

Zhan Ziyu sneered and glanced at Jiang Minhui, expressing her disdain for Jiang Minhui’s insistence. She chuckled, “Is that so? How did you manage to get there? The revolving restaurant on the top floor of Yunshang has a reservation system for advanced members, and even the cheapest membership requires a one-time payment of 200,000 yuan.”

These words reminded Jiang Minhui of her embarrassing situation yesterday when she was asked to leave the Yunshang restaurant. Her face turned red. “Just because you couldn’t enter doesn’t mean that nobody else can!”

Zhan Ziyu chuckled. “I admit I couldn’t get in, but at least I don’t brag.”

Lu Feichi, who was the one who started this conversation, saw that the two girls were about to quarrel, so he quickly intervened with a cheerful tone. “Alright, alright, let’s not get angry or argue. Tonight, it’s my treat. Let’s all enjoy good food and drinks and have a great time.”

Jiang Minhui reluctantly decided to drop the topic. She murmured, “I saw him. Believe it or not, but not only him, his ex-girlfriend, the reaper, was there too.”

Lu Feichi couldn’t believe it. “That’s impossible. They broke up a long time ago.”

“Don’t believe it if you don’t want to.” Jiang Minhui pursed her lips.

Zhan Ziyu snorted and said, “Whether they broke up or not, it has nothing to do with us. We’re no longer in the same world. If we have time to discuss this, why not talk about how we’re going to make Lu Feichi suffer tonight?”

Li Jin laughed and said, “That’s right. Old Zou wasn’t feeling well today, so he didn’t come. Otherwise, he would have mentioned how we indulged in a feast of food and wine.”

Everyone laughed when they heard that, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Just then, the waiter pushed open the door and respectfully said to the person outside, “Hello, this is the V9 party room. Please come in.”

The people inside the private room didn’t know who it was.

“What’s going on? Is someone else joining us today?” Zhuo Kang asked.

Wu Borui shrugged his shoulders and said, “Everyone is here, so there shouldn’t be anyone else.” Then he looked at a few female classmates and joked, “Or maybe one of your family members has come?”

Lu Feichi vaguely recognized the voice outside the door and raised his eyebrows, whispering, “No way?”

The person outside entered the room.

The private room instantly fell silent.

The person who came was just like that year. He could instantly become the center of attention. Time seemed to have treated him kindly. Five years ago, he was handsome, and now, after five years, he had matured and was still handsome.

He had long eyebrows, deep eyes, a high nose, and thin lips.

“Is it Bo Jingshen?”

“D*mn! I thought Jiang Minhui was just bragging!”

“So, we misunderstood her…”

Bo Jingshen calmly scanned the people in the private room with his gaze.

“Long time no see,” he said.

Zhuo Kang stammered, “Long time no see, Study God! Amazingly, you’ve come down to join us mortals and enjoy the festivities. Truly… you shine brightly among us.”

The others couldn’t help but laugh at Zhuo Kang’s words.

They scolded him, saying, “Zhuo Kang, can’t you show some respect?”

Bo Jingshen’s lips curved slightly. “I was overseas a few years ago, so I naturally couldn’t participate in such events.”

“No worries, no worries! Come by often, come by often in the future!” Zhuo Kang’s easygoing nature and thick-skinned response put everyone at ease.

Bo Jingshen looked at Lu Feichi who was sitting on the sofa and smiled. This smile was much more sincere than the smile on his lips earlier.

“Chizi,” he said.

“Go away.” Lu Feichi laughed and scolded, “You know how to come back? You are something.”

The other old classmates were a little surprised. Although Lu Feichi and Bo Jingshen had a good relationship in university, Bo Jingshen was now a big shot.

Lu Feichi spoke so casually and impolitely to him?

“Ah,” Bo Jingshen replied, “Returning in glory.”

Lu Feichi continued to playfully scold, “Am I here to bask in your glory or to cling to your success? Is it worth you avoiding me like this? We were roommates for four years, and you haven’t contacted me for five years!”

Bo Jingshen sat down beside him and pondered for a moment. He said, “If I tell you that I haven’t been in touch with Luan Siyuan and Rong Yu either, would that make you feel better?”

Bo Jingshen was referring to his other two roommates in the four-person room at the University of Science and Technology.

Lu Feichi laughed and shrugged. “I feel better, I guess.”

Sometimes, after stepping into the society, looking back, the friendships formed during my student days seemed even more genuine.

Lu Feichi let out a sigh. “I didn’t expect you to attend a class reunion like this.”

Bo Jingshen said, “Yesterday, I dropped by Old Zou’s place to freeload a meal. He invited me to come and meet everyone, mentioning that upon my return to the country, I would need talented individuals to support my development.”

“Are Old Zou implying that I’m a talent?” Lu Feichi smirked.

“We’ll see about that in the future,” Bo Jingshen smiled and said, “But I heard from Old Zou that you’ve been developing well these past few years. I think you’re not bad.”

“That’s true,” Lu Feichi said. “Jiang Minhui mentioned earlier that she bumped into you at the Yunshang restaurant, but I thought she was bragging.”

“I did run into her, but I don’t remember much. We didn’t talk much,” Bo Jingshen nodded.

Lu Feichi was taken aback. After contemplating for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “She mentioned that when she met you at the Yunshang restaurant, you were with your college girlfriend, the reaper?”

Bo Jingshen paused for a few seconds and then nodded slowly. “Yes, we were together.”
