“Li Zhen! Wang Yang! Wei Qi! You’re all here!”
Jin Nian recognized these three schoolmates immediately. Although she hadn’t seen them for many years, the memories of high school were too deep. If she hadn’t met them, she might not have remembered what these people looked like, but after meeting them, it was as if a switch in her memory had been turned on.
Including You Ya, there were a total of four high school classmates, and the rest were their family members. Today was a gathering of the four families, and they did not expect to meet Jin Nian and Lu An here.
“Jin Nian, Lu An, e over and eat together. It’s more lively with more people. Besides, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.” You Ya said enthusiastically.
“That’s right! Order a few more dishes and we’ll eat slowly.”
The two of them were too embarrassed to refuse the schoolmates’ kind invitation, so they asked the waiter to bring the dishes they had ordered to this table and added two more chairs.
Old classmates who had not seen each other for a long time gathered together. There were endless topics to talk about. Sealed memories were once again opened, and everyone’s faces were filled with nostalgia.
Every child in high school had probably heard this saying before. The teacher said, “When you enter society, you will know how wonderful the school days are. You don’t have to worry about making a living, and you won’t see the deception of society. When you grow up, you will regret not cherishing every minute and second of your school days.”
After experiencing the hardships of society, they realized that their teacher had not lied to them. Indeed, the school days were the best.
“Jin Nian, we didn’t have time to go over when you and Lu An got married. I’m really sorry.” Wei Qi spoke first.
“It’s alright,” Jin Nian said. “I’ve received everyone’s blessings.”
“I came to M Nation after graduation. I haven’t returned to China for a long time,” Li Zhen said in a dull tone.
Jin Nian had heard that a few high school classmates were developing in M Nation. After ing here, they naturally had to start a family here. Gradually, they did not have time to return to the country, so they occasionally had dinner together to relieve their homesickness.
“Lu An, are you working in M Nation too?” Lee Zhen asked.
Lu An shook his head. “I’m just here on a business trip. I’ll be going back in two days. Niannian still has to return to China to work.”
Everyone understood. They all knew that Lu An was a top-notch second-generation heir. He was rich enough to fly around the world. Now, even if he didn’t work, he could still enjoy a luxurious life.
“I really envy you guys. Your career is smooth and your marriage is happy.”
This was what all the students were thinking. At that time, the girls in high school liked Lu An, while the boys envied Lu An. It was fine that he was handsome, but his family was so rich. What was even more hateful was that he could always get first place in the cohort.
Sometimes, they felt that fate was so unfair. Some people had everything, while others had nothing. They risked their lives to get some bread and barely survive.
Jin Nian glanced around. She could feel everyone’s fatigue and sadness. It seemed that they were not doing well. In the eyes of many students, it was a good thing to be able to go abroad to develop their career, but who knew how hard it was?
The atmosphere gradually became heavy. Wang Yang was the first to break the silence. “Let’s not talk about the unhappy things. Let’s talk about something interesting.”
Everyone looked at him curiously. Wang Yang grinned. “Lu An, were you and
Jin Nian together since high school?”
“No, we weren’t,” Jin Nian retorted immediately.
In high school, Jin Nian’s mind was filled with studies. Although she had a good impression of Lu An, her feelings were not as important as her studies.
Lu An’s mind was filled with thoughts of Jin Nian. Unfortunately, he didn’t dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that if he said it out loud, Jin Nian would be scared and ignore him from then on.
“You’re still denying it. There was once when you two quarreled and didn’t speak, and I was the one who helped you reconcile! At that time, I already thought that you two were a couple, but I didn’t dare to say it out loud, afraid that Teacher Tan would look for you to talk.”
Parents and teachers all felt that dating in high school would affect their studies, so it was strictly forbidden in high school. If anyone was found out about dating, they would have to find their parents to talk to them in school and forcefully break them up.
Wang Yang had always thought that Jin Nian and Lu An were together, but he was afraid that Teacher Tan would stop them, so he had never made their relationship public.
Upon hearing Wang Yang’s words, Jin Nian recalled the time when she had quarreled with Lu An. The two of them had never quarreled much since they were young, but they had not spoken to each other for three weeks at that time. Neither of them had bothered with the other.
But to be precise, it was Jin Nian who didn’t want to talk to Lu An.
When she was 16 years old, Jin Nian had just started high school. Her deskmate was You Ya, and the two always had a good relationship. Jin Nian and Lu An had a good relationship, so You Ya wrote a love letter, hoping that Jin Nian would help pass it on..
