Chapter 110: Only Taking Advantage of Others’ Misfortunes
Chapter 110: Only Taking Advantage of Others’ Misfortunes
For Yang Zhi, every little thing in her life has changed since she met Xu Mingyuan a year ago.
I still remember that when I was guarding my brother's hospital bed, I suddenly saw him get up from the bed and glanced at me with a sharp look, like a class teacher who was about to punish a disobedient student.
Even when Yang Zhi recalled it now, he wanted to shrink his head into his neck.
Yang Zhi knew very well that her brother was a very strong person and couldn't stand her being timid.
But there was nothing I could do. He was so fierce at that time, it was not good to confront him...
Yang Zhi learned to read facial expressions since she was young and had a good sense of emotions. She knew very well that compared with the changes in herself, her brother was the one who had changed the most.
Yang Zhi also understood that anyone would be upset if something happened in the family, let alone Xu Mingyuan, who was only a few years older than her.
But even though she understood, Yang Zhi was worried about being the target of anger, so she just wanted to stay away from him.
But after getting to know him, Yang Zhi finally realized that her brother was a very good person.
Even when I was angry, I would stay in the study, close the door, and not want myself to see.
But now, my brother has become calm. Even when he encounters something that makes him angry, he just frowns and thinks for a while, then smiles at himself who is sitting next to him and rubs his head.
His force was gentle, conveying a sense of reassurance.
Even now, when I am about to take the high school entrance exam, my brother would say, "It's enough to learn almost everything. How much is enough?"
But Yang Zhi clearly remembered that he had said, "How dare you say you have good grades if you didn't get first place?"
The first one was too difficult. Yang Zhi didn't know if he could do it, but he could only try his best. After all, this was the only way for him to catch up with him...
……
After the college entrance examination, the class reunion will follow.
Before the results are released, this is the best time to get together. Once the results are released, it will be difficult to get in touch with each other.
The gathering place was at the Fumanlou Restaurant owned by Sun Hongwei’s family. Only the first and second floors of the three-story restaurant were open for business, so the area was neither too big nor too small.
Normally we host wedding banquets, first birthday banquets, etc. When there are no banquets, we also receive small tables of guests.
In a place like Nanxi, Sun Hongwei's family conditions are considered good.
Sun Hongwei's father was a smart man. He understood that his abilities were limited, so he decided not to expand the business. He saved some money and bought a small store. He successfully allowed his uneducated son to live a life of idleness and waiting for death.
The original plan was to have a lunch gathering at noon, but Sun Hongwei's restaurant had guests, so it was scheduled for the afternoon. The students were not asked to contribute much money, but each person chipped in 20 yuan for the sake of their intention.
Xiao Yangzhi had to go to class in the afternoon, so Xu Mingyuan stayed with her for half a day and finally arrived at nearly five o'clock.
Carrying a bag of gifts, Xu Mingyuan chatted warmly with Sun Hongwei's father for a few words and then went upstairs.
Looking around, most of the classmates have arrived. There are 57 students in the class, and about 40 of them have arrived.
This year, you still need to fill in your application form first and there is no need to return to school to fill out the form. Those who did not come have basically returned to their hometowns.
Not all the teachers came, except for the head teacher Gao Dexiang, there were three subject teachers. Zhang Yan, who taught Chinese, brought her class eight to the reunion and also brought a few subject teachers with her.
"Damn it, Xiaoyuan, where have you been? Why are you so late? Come to this table. I've saved a seat for you."
Sun Hongwei saw Xu Mingyuan going upstairs, stood up and shouted at him.
"I came early and there's no food. I'm going to say hello to the teacher."
Xu Mingyuan walked over, said hello, and then went to find Gao Dexiang.
After greeting a few teachers, telling them how he did on the exam and chatting for a few minutes, Xu Mingyuan was about to leave when he was stopped by Tao Shuxin who was gathered next to the teachers.
"Don't leave."
Tao Shuxin said in a low voice.
"Let's play while we're at it."
Xu Mingyuan didn't want to chat with these little girls and teachers. It was meaningless.
"Then you are not allowed to smoke with them."
Tao Shuxin took two steps forward and whispered in his ear, "Your dad even lit a cigarette for me, why do you care so much?"
Xu Mingyuan spoke quietly, but the people around him could hear it.
Tao Shuxin's face turned red instantly. She didn't know whether to sit or stand. After being teased by her girlfriends, she got angry and chased after them.
Now that we have graduated, everyone has relaxed and some of the couples in the class even dare to hug each other in public.
Only Tao Shuxin, the stubborn little girl, was very thin-skinned. If you slightly revealed her secrets, she would jump up and bite you out of embarrassment.
Xu Mingyuan shook his head and went back to play cards with Sun Hongwei and the others.
They are the most noisy students in the class. Apart from Xu Mingyuan, Chen Tian is the only one who studies well.
But everyone knew their place, and they gathered at a table in the corner, smoking and playing cards loudly.
More than half an hour later, everyone cleared the melon seed shells on the table and asked the waiter to bring the dishes.
Gao Dexiang and the three teachers did not want to disturb the students' atmosphere, so after saying a few words at the beginning of the dinner, they went to a private room to eat with Sun Hongwei's father.
As it was the last gathering, even the most quiet girl in the class was encouraged to drink two glasses of beer. At Xu Mingyuan's table, the bottles were already spilled all over the floor.
Xu Mingyuan's face was also a little red, but he didn't drink much.
After these silly boys drank three bottles of beer, they couldn't tell the bottles apart, so Xu Mingyuan picked up a few empty bottles from the side and put them on his table, blocking a few rounds of drinking.
Seeing Li Cheng encouraging everyone to drink from the bottle, Xu Mingyuan took the hint and quickly picked up the wine glass to go around the table.
Regardless of whether they were familiar with each other or not, Xu Mingyuan went over and clinked glasses with him.
After all, we have been together for a year. If we don’t chat a little bit, there will probably be no chance for us to do it again in this life.
When he walked to the table where Tao Shuxin was sitting, before he could say a few words, Tang Lin smiled and found a seat for him to sit down.
Tao Shuxin also drank a few glasses of beer, her face flushed. Seeing Xu Mingyuan sitting next to her, she pretended not to care and moved aside.
Xu Mingyuan found it a little funny and blew some air into Tao Shuxin's ear when he sat down.
Then I saw her suddenly wake up and secretly hit herself under the table.
This little action did not attract the attention of others. Tao Shuxin's face was already red, and there was nothing unusual at this time.
Xu Mingyuan was chatting with the classmates at the table, and in response, he pinched Tao Shuxin's elastic legs under the table.
Tao Shuxin's face turned pale with panic. Seeing Xu Mingyuan chatting with his classmates with an uncertain expression, she cursed him in her heart and then pinched him back.
Xu Mingyuan naturally would not show weakness. He fought back and forth under the table and was not willing to suffer any loss at all.
"Hey, what are you two fiddling with downstairs? Didn't you tinker enough during class? Hehehe..."
Tao Shuxin's movements became more and more vigorous, and naturally she was seen by Li Siqi who was sitting opposite her.
"What are you talking about? You two are the ones tinkering!"
Tao Shuxin's sluggish nerves suddenly became alert and he quickly put his hands on the table.
"You are the one talking nonsense. We are both aboveboard. How could there be any tampering?"
Li Siqi was a carefree girl, and she fell over with her arms around Jiang Ping's neck.
"Giggle..."
Amidst the laughter and joy, Tao Shuxin stepped on Xu Mingyuan with a red face, but her hand did not stop and pinched herself even harder.
However, Tao Shuxin was too embarrassed to put her hands down, so she had to keep shaking her legs to avoid his pursuit.
This bastard!
Just taking advantage of others' misfortunes!
