In the end, city S was chosen as the location for the class reunion. Although everyone went their separate ways after graduation, most of them were concentrated in and around City S, and there were also quite a few people who stayed in City S to continue their studies.
As for the specific address, I chose a moderately priced hotel that is neither chain nor in the city center. After all, they have not graduated from college for a few years. Except for the outliers like Xiao Yu, most of the people's wages are not high, and even A large part of them are still studying for a master's degree or a Ph.D.
In order to make it easier for some students from other places to come and adjust the schedule, the reunion will be held on Saturday three days later.
All the colleges in their campus will come to this gathering, which can be regarded as a huge momentum. As a senior who is several times older than Xiao Yu, Lin Zhou should not have attended their party this year. However, since Lin Zhou worked in many associations and organizations during his university days and had excellent interpersonal relationships, someone from the School of Design specially went to Lin Zhou was invited.
Since Xiao Yu's car was scrapped in a car accident, he is now looking up the route with his mobile phone, while worrying about what Mayfair will do that day.
I don't know if it's because of being abandoned, but this troublesome and clingy kitten clings to Xiao Yu 24 hours a day except for eating, sleeping, bathing and bathing. Once she is driven away, she will use the pair of water Runrun's big eyes stared at Xiao Yu pitifully, turning his head every step of the way, which really made Xiao Yu really reluctant to drive her away.
Therefore, this classmate club, which might play until midnight, is undoubtedly a huge test for Mayfair, who is not used to being with a cat.
... Yes, Xiao Yu finally decided to go to the class reunion.
Ever since he gave Lin Zhou a hard punch in the company last time, Xiao Yu thought he had nothing to do with Lin Zhou. No matter what happened in the past, their relationship ended here. When we meet, we can be enemies or strangers, but we just won't be friends.
After that, Xiao Yu got into a lot of trouble himself, so he didn't have time to think about Lin Zhou's affairs. He just forgot to delete Lin Zhou from his QQ friends, and of course Xiao Yu didn't either. After thinking of this, Lin Zhou still has the face to actively look for him.
At first, Lin Zhou and Xiao Yu thought that no matter what Lin Zhou said, he would not compromise, but Xiao Yu never thought that Lin Zhou would make the truth of the car accident a condition.
This car accident was a thorn in Xiao Yu's heart, a hurdle dripping with blood.
But now, Lin Zhou actually told him that the car accident was indeed not an accident.
With Xiao Yu's poor imagination, he couldn't figure out what Lin Zhou's implication was.
So Lin Zhou's invitation this time, it seems that he must go.
…
The weather on Saturday was good, the temperature was suitable for wind and sunshine.
The hotel was booked by a person in charge of the School of Economics. The characteristic is that each private room has its own name, and they are all relatively pleasing four-character idioms, such as double happiness, rising every step of the way, and attracting wealth and treasure. Have your own name, no repetition,.
The private room booked by Xiao Yu's business school is called Liu Yin Hua Ming. Xiao Yu glanced at the door, but didn't see anyone he knew, so he simply didn't go in, and went directly to the private room of the Design College.
"Hey, you are Xiao Yu, right?"
Before reaching the door, Xiao Yu was stopped by someone.
This person was smoking at the door, and he recognized Xiao Yu immediately.
"You are?" Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks and looked at the other party for a while.
"It's me, it's me." The man put the cigarette in his mouth, and lifted his long side bangs with his hands.
A distinct scar was carved on his forehead.
"Ah, rex." Xiao Yuren didn't recognize him, he recognized Scar.
The origin of the scar was an interesting story that was widely talked about in the courtyard at that time. It is said that this man could not sit still during a one-and-a-half-hour carving class, so he touched his head with his hand , accidentally forgot that he was holding a knife in his hand. The follow-up of the incident was that he refused the help of his teacher and classmates, walked into the school infirmary with his head covered in blood, and lay down happily in the dormitory. worship.
And this man who is willing to die as long as he doesn't go to class is Xiao Yu's roommate. He was forced by his family to take the design college entrance examination. After sending him off, the relationship can be said to be very good.
"What rex? It's so disgusting. When did it happen? My name is my name. Do you still remember that my name is Liu Chengxin?"
"Of course I remember, long time no see, Cheng Xin." Xiao Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but fortunately his friend is outspoken and nervous.
"Hey, it's been almost seven years now, how are you doing now?" Liu Chengxin took two steps forward and tried to grab Xiao Yu's shoulders, looking like a good brother.
"It's okay..." Xiao Yu said vaguely, "Aren't you going in?"
"I don't have any good people. I'm bored. Come out to smoke a cigarette. I didn't say it. When you left, my brother's life is really sad. I can't find anyone to help me with my class."
Liu Chengxin shoved Xiao Yu vainly, looking a little annoyed, but the next second he smiled again: "Fortunately, brother is smart, sophomore changed his major hahaha."
"Oh, your family agrees?"
"This is a very long story, let's talk about it." Liu Chengxin dragged Xiao Yu into the private room.
Xiao Yu saw a friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he was in a very good mood, so he followed the trend and walked in. Who knew that before he took two steps, he heard a sentence from behind: "Xiao Yu."
This familiar voice made time freeze, Xiao Yu stopped, turned his head stiffly, and saw the familiar face: "Lin Zhou."
"Senior, long time no see, let's go in together." Liu Chengxin also saw Lin Zhou and greeted him respectfully.
"No, I have something to talk to Xiao Yu."
Lin Zhou had a decent smile on his face, exactly the same as that respected senior seven years ago.
"Oh, you guys have an appointment first, then you guys talk, I'm done smoking, let's go first."
After Xiao Yu left, he said coldly, "What do you want to say, finish quickly."
"It's not convenient here. There's a bar on the basement floor. I used to say."
There were indeed people coming and going around, Xiao Yu was not suspicious, and followed Lin Zhou to the ground.
…
"A glass of vodka."
Lin Zhou took the lead and sat down at the bar, then looked at Xiao Yu: "What kind of wine do you want, I'll take it."
"Don't drink, just give me a glass of water."
"There is no white water here, just a glass of wine will not get you drunk."
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then give me a glass of blue Hawaii."
I'm not afraid of getting drunk, but I'm afraid that if he drinks too much, he will transform into a shape. Fortunately, he has done a test before, as long as he controls the total amount of alcohol ingested, nothing will happen. He himself has a feeling in front of him, so he can just hide in a place like the toilet and wait for the transformation time to pass.
Xiao Yu knew that it was unreasonable not to drink outside, so he had already prepared corresponding countermeasures.
"Women drink wine." Lin Zhou mocked, "You were not like this before."
"… what do you want to say in the end."
Xiao Yu was in a daze for a moment, perhaps it was the unreality brought to him by the flickering lights—
It seems that they still talk about everything and call themselves brothers and sisters.
Lin Zhou took a sip of vodka, and then said suddenly, "I've always hated you."
"what?"
"I've always hated you." Lin Zhou repeated it again. This sentence, which could not be called a curse, was like a switch, opening a gap in the past:
"I noticed you in the year you entered school. You are obviously not from our college, but you always come here to rub the class. Forget about the freshman class, but you skip the senior class. I reported it to the teacher. That one The old-fashioned and serious professor doesn't smile at everyone, but I don't know why he is the only one who praises you, and he was the one who introduced you to that master in the end, heh, how many students want to be the student of that master, but it happens You, you who don’t understand anything, even becoming the master’s student represents you who don’t know anything.”
Xiao Yu was a little bit hesitant, although what he wanted to know was not these, but he still chose to listen in silence.
Lin Zhou ordered another glass of wine, and continued: "Later, I went to graduate school and went abroad for an exchange in the second year. I met you."
"Why don't I remember..."
"You gave a speech at S University of Country M. The large classrooms that can accommodate 200 people are not enough, and the corridors and aisles are full of people. I came five minutes late, so I had to find a place to stand outside the window. Listen." Lin Zhou laughed self-deprecatingly: "You are really dazzling, much more dazzling than your teacher who was in decline in the west, and everyone outside the classroom is talking about that handsome and young designer who came with me for the exchange. The teacher asked me if you were the student with whom I had a good relationship, and I told him that he recognized the wrong person. "
"The teacher is a specially invited professor of that university. He gives speeches every year. I happened to follow, so I played a ppt for him..."
"That's why I hate you." Lin Zhou put his wine glass heavily on the bar, his eyes turned red under the smell of alcohol: "You are always so talented that others don't know it, as if the whole world owes you , you so easily snatched away the things that we mortals fought so hard to get, but you thought you were just an ordinary person who worked harder than others."
Xiao Yu opened his mouth in shock, unable to utter a word.
"I could have stayed abroad to work, and I got all the offers, but I returned to China in the end, do you know why?" Lin Zhou laughed softly, "Because I don't want to see you again. There will never be a chance for someone else to stand out."
"But you just came back, and you just joined si... I joined the company earlier than you, and I have a higher education than you. I have brought a lot of benefits to the company, but what is the use? In front of real geniuses, ordinary people's hard work is nothing. It is a fearless struggle, and the only way to go in the end is failure. Like a clown dancing in front of the throne, it will never be more attractive than the golden crown. Clown and crown, diamonds and zircons, we probably That's the relationship."
Lin Zhou sighed: "I always thought that I was different from others. My teacher once said that I was the best student he ever taught. I thought so at first, until I met you, even if you were still A freshman from another college who came to take classes, I knew you would be a high wall that I would never be able to get over in my life."
Xiao Yu looked at Lin Zhou, and said word by word: "Because of the bell I gave Yan Jin?"
Lin Zhou's eyes widened in shock: "You know, you already know?"
"I found out by accident recently." Xiao Yu drank the wine in his hand and put it aside.
Lin Zhou let out a smile of unknown meaning, and then picked up the wine glass and drank it down: "I just wanted to take back the title of chief designer from you, but I obviously couldn't compete with you, so I had no choice but to copy Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in your blueprint, no matter what, I couldn't win, no matter what, I couldn't win you, not even once!"
Lin Zhou suddenly raised his hand and threw all the glasses off the bar.
The glass hit the ground and shattered into pieces.
The deafening music played in the bar perfectly concealed the loud noise from the corner, and people were still reveling on the stage. The bartender paused, and then continued to wipe the glass in his hand, as if Did not notice the general.
Xiao Yu was frightened, subconsciously stood up from his seat and moved away.
Lin Zhou also stood up, and when he spoke again, his voice was very soft, but his smile was almost crazy:
"I just tampered with your car. You are lucky to come back alive."
