After eating the buffet, Qin Yang left first after receiving a call from his girlfriend. Several other boys also separated one after another at the entrance of the restaurant; some went back to the dormitory, some went to play games online, some went on a date, and finally only Jiang Yu and Li Ying were the only ones left.

They lived in the same direction; Jiang Yu was a little stuffed, and the two of them were not in a hurry to take a taxi, so Li Ying accompanied him for a walk on the road for a while.

On the spring night in Jiangzhou, the air was very refreshing, and there were not many vehicles on the road. The two of them were walking under the roadside trees.

The climate was neither hot nor cold, and the temperature was suitable. It was Jiang Yu’s favourite season. Especially at this moment when the lights were on, he just had a full meal, and he was slowly digesting food on the road, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Walking and walking, Jiang Yu trotted forward two steps, lightly jumped, and plucked a leaf from the tree.

Li Ying was watching from behind, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help raising a slight arc when he saw this.

At this moment, Jiang Yu turned around, walked backward, and stretched out his hand to him, saying, “For you.”

In the palm of his hand was a leaf.

Li Ying stepped forward, picked up the green leaf from his palm, pinched the root, and looked at it, turning it left and right.

Seeing his serious appearance, Jiang Yu teased him with a smile: “I have bestowed good luck on this leaf, and now I will deliver this good fortune to you. As long as you make a wish on it, it can help you fulfil the wish.”

“Fulfil a wish?” Li Ying raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yu, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

“En.” Jiang Yu said with a smile, “Fulfil any of your wishes, so you have to cherish the leaf.”

“Ok.” Li Ying smiled and put the leaf in his pocket. “Then I will accept it.”

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu laughed happily, turned around, and jumped up to pluck two leaves.

At this moment, Li Ying’s cell phone vibrated. He took it out to take a look; it was a high school classmate.

Seeing that Li Ying had a phone call, Jiang Yu stopped bouncing around and walked quietly aside.

During the phone call, Li Ying mentioned the words “student reunion”, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but glance at him and instantly remembered the task that Jiang Meng had given him. He obviously didn’t take it too seriously; he had almost forgotten about it.

At this moment, the memory came back, and when Li Ying hung up the phone, Jiang Yu turned to look at him and asked, “Are you going to attend the high school reunion?”

“Hmm.” Li Ying said, “Many students are not in Haicheng; it’s just a few students getting together.”

“Oh.” Jiang Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Li Ying asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jiang Yu’s temperament has always been used to being straight and frank. He was silent for a few seconds and asked directly, “Will the girl you like be there?”

Li Ying paused slightly and glanced sideways at him with a bit of inexplicable inquiry in his eyes.

After a while, he asked, “Why do you ask this?”

For some reason, Jiang Yu always felt that Li Ying was very sensitive to this issue.

Could it be that he was really worried that he was Jiang Meng’s younger brother? Jiang Yu thought to himself, and after a while, he smiled and said, “I’m just curious about what kind of girl you like.”

After being silent for a while, Li Ying asked, “Are you very curious?”

“Not that much.” Jiang Yu said, worried that the purpose was too obvious, “I just think she must be pretty, so I want to meet her.”

This time, Li Ying lowered his eyes and remained silent.

After a while, Jiang Yu confirmed again: “Is she your high school classmate?”

Li Ying turned to look at him; his lips moved slightly, and he paused for a few seconds before saying: “We can bring family members to our party; if you are curious, I can take you there.”

His eyes were slightly dark, hiding some unclear emotions.

Jiang Yu froze for a moment, then subconsciously asked, “Take me to the student reunion?”

“En.” Li Ying said, “The meal fee includes two people; it’s a waste if you don’t go.”

Unexpectedly, the male god was so down-to-earth that Jiang Yu laughed out loud: “It turns out that the male god also manages the house like this.”

Li Ying also laughed and said cooperatively, “Well, I have always adhered to the principle of province save the flower.”
(vv: “The province saves the flower” is an Internet jingle that is used to refer to a consumption concept. Never pick it up where it is necessary, and save it when it is not necessary.)

Jiang Yu laughed for a while.

After walking for a while, Li Ying, who got no response, turned his head to look at him and said, “Then are you going?”

Although Jiang Yu was indeed a little curious about the girl he liked, it was not good to go to other people’s class reunions.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Yu kicked the pebbles under his feet and said, “Your class reunion will have all your friends, so it’s not good for me to go.”

“Is there any difference?” Li Ying asked.

Jiang Yu was really caught by his question; he raised his head to look at the other party and saw Li Ying’s eyes were frank; it seemed that he really didn’t think who to take was a problem.

Li Ying said, “Since they said we can bring people, then I paid the money, and it is up to me to decide who to bring with me.”

After a slight pause, Li Ying looked sideways and added, “Don’t you really want to know?”

Jiang Yu: “…”

……

Li Ying’s class reunion was on Sunday, and it happened to be very unfortunate that it rained heavily that day.

Li Ying originally said that he would go to Jiangzhou to pick up Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu refused. Apart from being stupid and wasting time, Jiang Yu couldn’t think of anything else.

The class reunion was at a high-end hotel, and when Jiang Yu arrived at the hotel, Li Ying was already waiting for him by the side of the road.

When Jiang Yu got out of the taxi, before he was drenched in the rain for a few seconds, a black umbrella was raised above his head.

Jiang Yu turned his head, and Li Ying took a look at his empty hands: “You didn’t bring any umbrella?”

“Hmm.” Jiang Yu didn’t care. “Anyway, I can just run and get a little wet, and I’m too lazy to take an umbrella with me.”

The two walked side by side under the black umbrella. Li Ying glanced at Jiang Yu’s side; his long eyelashes were still covered with a little rain, and the tip of his nose was a little red from the wind.

“Are your parents getting a headache because of you?” Li Ying asked.

Jiang Yu paused for a moment, heard what he meant, and raised his eyebrows at him: “Why?”

Seeing this, Li Ying smiled, followed his heart, and said tactfully, “I just think it’s right for them to worry about you.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Yu said disapprovingly, “I never caused any trouble for them since I was a child.”

When the two entered the box, the huge dining table was already full of people.

Seeing them coming in, the chatting and laughing table suddenly fell silent, and they looked at them in unison.

Looking at the large table full of people, Jiang Yu was a little dazed. Li Ying had told him that this was just a small gathering of a few classmates. As a result, at least half of the class came.

In just a moment, everyone quickly reacted.

“I had originally thought that our top scorer’s red luan star moved.”
(vv: “Hong Luan star moving” indicates that the marriage of young men and women is about to come. This is a saying in ancient astronomy. A person’s marital status.)

“That is, I was still thinking about who was so capable of accepting the myths of our tenth middle school, but in the end I was thinking too much.”

Li Ying ignored them, seeing that Jiang Yu was not quite used to it, he comforted him: “Everyone is just joking; don’t take it to heart.”

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, a boy walked towards them. He stood in front of the two of them and gave Li Ying a teasing look: “You don’t want to introduce him to us?”

Jiang Yu felt that the other party looked at him a little strangely, with a hint of teasing.

“He’s Jiang Yu.” Li Ying paused and introduced him, “My friend.”

The boy let out a long ah, then frowned slightly and looked atJiang Yu thoughtfully: “Why do I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before?”

Li Ying glanced at him but didn’t speak.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu said, “My name is probably more popular.”

The boy thought about it for a while and said that the Jiang Yu name is rare, but he still couldn’t remember.

But the boy didn’t think too much, greeted Jiang Yu, and welcomed them to the table.

A class reunion is one of the noisiest occasions. Jiang Yu is not very good at dealing with strangers, and as soon as he walked in, he regretted it. But now that he is here, it can’t be helped, but he hasn’t forgotten the purpose he came here for, which is the most important thing.

Not long after sitting down, Li Ying was dragged by some classmates to drink a few glasses of wine, and Jiang Yu just took advantage of this time to quietly look at the girls on the table.

In this class reunion, there were most of the boys, and the girls were only eight or nine.

Although, generally speaking, the current female students overwhelm the male students in terms of body, temperament, and appearance, but objectively speaking, Jiang Yu felt that no one could ever live up to the level of an unforgettable male god like Lu Ying.

When Li Ying finished drinking with his classmates, Jiang Yu had already thought of several possibilities in his heart.

Li Ying scooped up a bowl of soup for him, and Jiang Yu grabbed the clothes on the other’s arm and leaned over: “Is the person you like there?”

The table was a bit noisy. Li Ying glanced at him and moved closer to him. “There is.”

“Which one is it?” Jiang Yu asked as he looked around the table.

Li Ying lowered his eyes, looked at the plate in front of him for a while, and then looked sideways at Jiang Yu: “Guess?”

Jiang Yu had guessed secretly a long time ago and immediately said after hearing the words, “The person in the beige windbreaker on the opposite side.”

“No.” said Li Ying.

Jiang Yu guessed again: “Then is it the one next to her in green clothes?”

Li Ying still looked at him and shook his head.

The most likely two were neither; Jiang Yu gradually lost his patience and directly grabbed his arm and asked, “Quickly tell me, which one is it?”

The two looked at each other for a while. Li Ying’s lips moved slightly, and he said softly, “I can only tell you that he is here.”

Jiang Yu heard the words and was about to guess one by one, but when someone at the table saw the two of them whispering all the time, he couldn’t help shouting, “Hey, hey, what are you talking about together? Even the couples are not as clingy as you. This can’t work; Li Ying should be punished with alcohol.”

He talked for a long time about making Li Ying drink, but at this moment, this sentence saved Li Ying at the right time, and he simply ordered a drink. Otherwise, he didn’t know how to escape from Jiang Yu.

Seeing that Li Ying had finished drinking, someone turned his mind on Jiang Yu again.

“Li Ying’s—” The man looked at Jiang Yu for a few seconds.

Probably because he didn’t know what to call him, and seeing that he looked young, he said, “Li Ying’s little friend, since you’re here, shouldn’t you also have a drink?”

Both of them were stunned for a moment by this title, and before Jiang Yu could react, Li Ying took the lead to raise the wine glass: “He doesn’t know how to drink; I’ll drink for him.”

There was a burst of booing on the table; after all, except for the occasional normal social interaction, they were unlikely to see Li Ying drinking more, let alone blocking drinks for others.

However, Jiang Yu was a friend brought by Li Ying after all, and seeing that Li Ying was not happy to let them provoke them more, everyone wisely did not provoke Jiang Yu again.

After drinking for three rounds, the table was still making noise. Jiang Yu had nothing to do, so he simply took out his mobile phone and reported the situation to Jiang Meng to save her from worrying about how he’s doing every now and then.

[Jiang Yu: The girl Li Ying likes is not as good-looking as you.]

[Jiang Yu: Don’t worry.]

Jiang Meng’s reply came back after a while.

[Jiang Meng: How did you draw that pleasant conclusion?]

[Jiang Meng: Are you trying to fool me?]

[Jiang Yu: ???]

[Jiang Yu: I am at his class reunion.]

[Jiang Yu: Didn’t I tell you?]

[Jiang Meng: And then?]

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but click his tongue.

[Jiang Yu: All the girls here are not even half as good-looking as you; are you satisfied?]

[Jiang Meng: And then?]

[Jiang Yu:…]

[Jiang Meng: How did you make sure that the person he likes was present there?]

Jiang Yu felt that Jiang Meng was simply unreasonable; was it very difficult to ascertain this matter?

Jiang Yu patiently explained:

[Jiang Yu: I asked, and he said that the person he likes is here today.]

[Jiang Meng: *Wonderful*]

[Jiang Meng: Communication is really a wonderful thing.]

[Jiang Yu:…]

[Jiang Yu: Speak human language.]

[Jiang Meng: In human language, although the person he likes is not as good-looking as me, it is not even half as good as me.]

[Jiang Meng: But at least the person should be about 80% as good-looking as me, right?]

[Jiang Meng: You look for the person on the table now; whichever is 80% better looking than me is the one.]

[Jiang Yu:…]

[Jiang Yu: Get lost.]

It was already 10 o’clock when the class reunion ended, and everyone’s enthusiasm had not yet dissipated, so they decided to add a temporary performance to sing.

Jiang Yu was bored already, so naturally he wouldn’t go, and Li Ying also refused to go because he wanted to send him home.

When they walked out of the hotel, the rain outside was heavier than when they came, and it fell on the ground with a patter-patter, forming circles of small water drops.

The two stood at the entrance of the hotel waiting for a taxi. Jiang Yu looked at the rain in the night and suddenly turned to look at Li Ying: “Isn’t it like the time we first met?”

Li Ying paused slightly and repeated, “The first time we met?”

“En, it was the time when you stayed at my home.” Jiang Yu counted on his fingers and said, “I can’t believe that we have known each other for so long.”

Li Ying didn’t speak until, after a long time, he suddenly hummed, “It’s been a long time.”

After getting into the taxi, Jiang Yu originally wanted to send Li Ying off first, after all he drank, and then asked the driver to drive to Jiangzhou.

In the end, Li Ying disagreed and insisted on sending him back to Jiangzhou first.

The two persisted for a long time and were finally interrupted by the taxi driver.

He glanced at the two handsome young men from the rearview mirror and said, “Stop arguing; it’s so late and it’s raining so much, I won’t go to Jiangzhou. Get off and take another taxi.”

It’s hard to get a car in rainy weather; they finally waited for one. Jiang Yu bargained with the driver for a long time and even doubled the price of the car. The driver hesitated but finally agreed.

The raindrops outside the car window ticked together, covering the whole city in an indistinct rain curtain.

After a moment of stalemate in the car, Li Ying tilted his head to look at Jiang Yu and suggested, “Why don’t you go to my house first?”

Jiang Yu was taken aback, turned to look at him, and then said, “Don’t; I’m the worst at dealing with friend’s parents.”

“I have a house of my own that is nearby.” Li Ying said after a brief pause, “I live there alone; no one else will come.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu hesitated for a while and didn’t answer right away.

Seeing this, the taxi driver at the front urged: “Young man, it’s raining so hard; you should go back and squeeze with your friend first. You two are boys, so what are you afraid of? If it doesn’t work, you just get off the car; I have to rush to do business.”

They didn’t know how long it would take to get the next taxi. Apart from disturbing Li Ying, there was really nothing to say.

Jiang Yu looked at Li Ying hesitantly and said, “Then let’s go to your house first?”

“Good.” Li Ying said.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, the driver hurriedly asked for the address and drove out in the rain.

……

In the closed compartment at the back, two boys sat shoulder to shoulder, their hands naturally resting on both sides.

The wind blew in through the window, and Jiang Yu smelled a faint scent of wine. He sniffed his nose involuntarily, moved his arm slightly to follow his movements, and the cool back of his hand touched the back of another person’s hand beside him.

The body temperature of the other party was a little warmer than his, and today the cold air returned. Jiang Yu couldn’t help but stick it on the back of his warm hand.

He felt that Li Ying’s hand seemed to disappear suddenly.

Then he put it back in place quietly.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Yu: I’m going to the new house today to inspect it.
