Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 324 323. I have my own younger brother to argue for me
Prefectural-level cities like Liaocheng are more like typical acquaintance societies.

If a person with a wide range of social contacts goes out to eat in a popular place, there is a high probability that he will run into familiar friends and relatives.

What's more, Zhong Ruixi was indeed very famous during her high school years, and there were countless classmates and even former classmates who recognized her face.

It's the boring winter vacation, so meeting acquaintances is a perfectly normal thing.

"Xu Zhiyuan?"

Zhong Ruixi's attention was all on her lover, and she turned around only when she heard the voice.

He found out that the person coming was his high school classmate and class study committee member Xu Zhiyuan.

Apart from the class monitor Pan Xuan, the most active and most visible student in Class 8 of Liaocheng No. Middle School is Xu Zhiyuan.

Not only is he good-looking and has pretty good grades, he also comes from a fairly wealthy family.

You can tell from the branded goods he's wearing and the black Submariner on his wrist.

There was a girl next to the other person, who was dressed exquisitely and fashionably. Even in the cold weather, she wore black stockings and high heels, which made a clattering sound when she walked.

"Are you guys here to watch a movie together?"

Xu Zhiyuan looked at Lu Jincheng, then at Zhong Ruixi, with an expression that was obviously testing him.

Between men and women, having a meal together may make them friends.

But being able to go to the movies together must mean that their relationship is closer than that of ordinary friends.

No matter how you explain it, there's still some ambiguity.

As a very popular boy in middle school, Xu Zhiyuan was naturally interested in Zhong Ruixi.

In other words, as long as a male creature has normal aesthetic taste, it would be difficult for him not to be shaken by her in the rather monotonous environment of a middle school.

"Yes."

Zhong Ruixi always speaks his mind and nodded generously.

"."

Xu Zhiyuan wanted to say something, but he stopped talking when he realized from the corner of his eye that there was a female companion beside him.

"You didn't even reply to the group message. I'll organize a class reunion in a few days. Remember to come!"

The female companion quickly took Xu Zhiyuan's arm, and he had no intention of standing there and greeting them, so he waved to the two of them politely.

"Did he like you when he was in school?"

Xu Zhiyuan's figure quickly disappeared in another direction.

If we say that Lu Jincheng was still immature when he was young and could not recognize the gaze from his love rival.

Then the experienced Mr. Lu can be said to have a keen eye.

Although Xu Zhiyuan hid it very well and looked very amiable, the micro-expressions on his face could not fool Lu Jincheng.

"It's a bit strange for a person to say this, isn't it? He sent me a greeting card during the holidays."

Zhong Ruixi pursed her lips and looked at her jealous boyfriend with a half-smile.

"There were some random words written on the card, which probably meant that."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's so rich, so he just sent you a greeting card?"

Lu Jincheng put his arm around the girl's shoulders, pulled her close to him, and said mischievously with his head down.

"Why not?"

Zhong Ruixi met the man's gaze, a smile hidden on her delicate face: "I won't accept anything else if you give it to me."

"Yeah, even I could only send greeting cards at that time."

Lu Jincheng shrugged and took Zhong Ruixi's hand and walked towards the electric car.

"He just mentioned a class reunion. Shall we go then?"

To identify whether a girl has you in her heart, the choice of words is also a crucial aspect.

Whether “you” go or not and whether “we” go or not are two completely different positions.

"No, class reunions are boring."

Lu Jincheng shook his head, looking unconcerned.

"It's fine to have a small meal with Pan Xuan and the others, but a class gathering with so many people is a waste of time."

Only young people, whose time is worthless, would be keen on class reunions.

People who have experienced it know that it is difficult for a WeChat group set up by old classmates who gathered together several years or even more than ten years ago to not end up in a fiasco.

It seems sad and regrettable, but the reason is actually very simple and clear.

Everyone is busy and there is no point in wasting time.

It has been too long and time has exhausted everything.

The so-called class reunion is left with only fragmented memories frozen in that year, supporting the illusory goodwill.

Even if you think about it carefully, it's not real affection.

Rather, it is the feeling of pity when watching the fleeting time passing by, coupled with the inevitable curiosity and desire to see each other's current situation after being separated by time and space for a long time.

So when they finally met, they reminisced about the past, expressed their feelings, toasted, laughed about the past, and finally said goodbye to each other reluctantly.

What follows is the real farewell of life.

At a certain gathering, the thin ties of affinity and curiosity were released at once, just like the night-pearl fireworks.

So far.

The WeChat group was the last time to shine brightly.

There are only so many shared memories, how much can we dig up out of curiosity?
In a few hours, I had said everything I could say, but what followed felt strange.

Only when you feel a sense of strangeness that is second only to, or even as great as, that of facing a complete stranger do you understand the power of the four words "we are all separated by different places".

Especially when you are at the most malleable stage of your life, it is so powerful to be apart from each other.

On the contrary, today's classmates, colleagues, neighbors and even netizens may be more familiar and more intimate.

As a result, WeChat group chats became more and more awkward and boring, with nothing to talk about.

There may also be some people who don't care about other people's opinions and quit along the way.

In the end, except for a few other groups, the entire WeChat group was finally immortalized as a courtesy and will exist forever, but there will never be any new red dots appearing again.

So in this atomized society, what is the significance of class reunions?

Perhaps it is just the standard plot in old-fashioned urban novels, used to carry out pretentiousness and then get slapped in the face.

But in real life, you don’t need to wait until the protagonist appears in person to get slapped in the face.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

The weather was still a little cold. The two walked out of Wanda Plaza. Lu Jincheng unlocked the electric car and patted the clean back seat.

This is probably what pure love in middle school is like. After class, the girl sits on the back of her boyfriend’s bicycle, with her arms tightly around her, smiling sweetly, and her eyes as beautiful as a painting.

The night wind blew slowly, and the ponytail fluttered in the air, full of the flavor of youth.

But some people don't think so.

University is a small society, and the current rules of the game are that strength is the key.

Just like now.

Zhong Ruixi was just about to take a step when a LAND CRUISER drove out from the end of the parking lot. It was the most authoritative and popular car model in the northern region.

The huge streamlined body of the car was very domineering and stopped right near the two of them.

drip.

The car window gradually rolled down, revealing a gentle face.

"Zhong Ruixi, the weather is very cold. How about I give you a ride?"

Xu Zhiyuan looked down at the two of them from above, holding the steering wheel of the Land Cruiser with one hand, a playful smile on his lips.

He was suddenly full of confidence.

It is the absolute money, absolute respectability, and absolute strength of luxury cars that give him confidence in front of electric cars.

Class crushes another man's confidence.

Surging confidence.

Who would go out with a girl in the middle of winter and ride an electric bike?

It’s 2015, man.

As the study committee member, he had a general understanding of Lu Jincheng's family situation.

It is true that he cannot compare to me in terms of wealth.

But aren't you embarrassed? At least get a four-wheeler with a heater before you go out, right?
He noticed that Zhong Ruixi was fully made up today, and was even more eye-catching than when she was in middle school. She was so beautiful that it was hard to hide her stunning beauty.

So besides being confident, he was also a little angry.

Fuck you!

The weather is so cold, it’s a shame for a girl to wear such expensive cosmetics to go out with you!
If the wind blows, I'm afraid the powder will get stuck.

A violent thing!
Xu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little sorry for Lu Jincheng below.

In such cold weather, he didn't even wear a hat or gloves.

His hands were red from the cold and he was breathing white air, but he still forced others to go home.

drop drop~
There was a lot of traffic at Wanda Plaza, and there were other cars waiting behind the Land Cruiser. It stayed there for a while, and the cars behind started honking their horns to urge it to hurry up.

"no need."

Zhong Ruixi smiled and politely waved her hand to refuse.

She turned her body to the side, spread her legs, hugged Lu Jincheng's back tightly, pushed hard, and sat on the back seat of the electric bike.

Her iconic ponytail swung to the right, she raised her head, and her voice echoed in the wind.

"And you may not have experienced it before, electric cars are romantic~"

It's going to be a bit of a traffic jam.

Even the Land Cruiser, which has unimpeded access to mountainous fields, is stuck where it is.

Staring at the backs of the two people as they weaved through the traffic, Xu Zhiyuan was in a daze, and couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

"You say, electric cars are romantic?"

He turned his head, looking at the beautiful woman in black stockings beside him as the warm air of 29 degrees was blowing in the car.

"Well, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"truth."

".I don't think it's romantic."

The girl named Xue Lu shook her head with a smile on her face.

"Then why does she find it romantic?"

Xu Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead and muttered.

"Because she likes that boy!"

Xue Lu, who remained silent throughout and watched Xu Zhiyuan greeting his classmates, spoke her mind again.

“When you love someone, suffering is not suffering, it is called a shared experience.”

"Not to mention riding an electric bike in such cold weather, people are willing to ride a bicycle or even walk."

Xue Lu was actually a little jealous, but Xu Zhiyuan was her financial backer, so she couldn't complain.

Not to mention jealousy and anger.

Now she finally had a chance to tell the truth, and she naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Is that so?"

Xu Zhiyuan touched his chin, expressionless.

"Uh-huh."

Xue Lu nodded.

"Then go down, and suffer a little."

"???"

The girl thought she had misheard and was obviously stunned.

"Go on down. If you like me, you should be willing to walk home for me, right?"

Xu Zhiyuan had a cold face and his tone didn't sound like a joke at all.

"what?"

"Brother Yuan, it's more than ten degrees below zero outside."

Xue Lu blinked her watery eyes, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether Xu Zhiyuan was joking or serious.

After all, if there wasn't a car to pick you up, no one would go out in such sexy clothes in this weather.

"Don't you like me?"

"like."

"Go down if you like."

Xu Zhiyuan directly blocked the opponent's retreat with words.

Xue Lu understood this time.

This guy is serious!
She bit her lower lip, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and then she thought about the glittering RMB. She could only take a deep breath and force out a smile.

"OK."

Xue Lu combed her hair, pushed open the car door, and tried her best to look elegant.

She turned back every time she walked, looked at Xu Zhiyuan's indifferent expression, shrank her neck, and walked into the cold wind alone.

"You take it out on me when you can't lick it, you idiot!"

Life during the winter vacation was lively and comfortable. In addition to spending time with his family, Lu Jincheng had a very fulfilling time.

Every day, I basically control the company's development progress, go out to eat skewers and play games with old friends and classmates, accompany Zhong Ruixi to play, and send messages to other close friends.

That evening, he and Zhong Ruixi were walking outside.

Walking in the streets and alleys of my hometown, the setting sun cut the shadows of the two people into very long ones.

It’s a little after six o’clock, the time when middle school students go home from school.

Middle school students in school uniforms were riding bicycles in groups of three or four, old men were selling cold cakes and snacks at roadside stalls, the streets were crowded with private cars but in an orderly manner, and parents were quietly waiting for their own little beasts to come out of the cage.

"You know, didn't Pan Xuan and the others organize a class reunion yesterday?"

Zhong Ruixi walked to the cold cake stall and asked for one each with Lu Jincheng, holding them in their hands and eating as they walked.

"and then?"

Lu Jincheng took over the conversation casually.

"Then I heard that Pan Xuan and Tan Kelly ridiculed Xu Zhiyuan severely!"

Zhong Ruixi chuckled and described the scene vividly.

"Oh? Why?"

"It seems that Xu Zhiyuan asked about you secretly and maybe said something. As a result, Pan Xuan and the others were there. They knew that we were in a relationship."

Zhong Ruixi pursed her lips, and her sparkling eyes exuded a cunning temperament that had never been seen before.

"."

Lu Jincheng seemed to have guessed something and waited for her to continue.

"Then, Pan Xuan and Tam Huilin praised you very much! They told us all about your glorious deeds, media company, and beautiful sisters at the class reunion."

“Very hard!”

"Everyone was shocked at the time. If you hadn't been there, you wouldn't have known that the expression on his face was that his mouth opened into an O shape!"

"Hey, you know it again, but you didn't go either, didn't you?"

Lu Jincheng couldn't help but ask back.

"That's what he said to me during the phone call! It's so vivid!"

Zhong Ruixi held the man's left hand gently with a sweet smile.

"It's so cool just thinking about it. I should have gone there earlier. I really want to see the expressions on those people's faces!"

"How come you don't react at all?"

Seeing Lu Jincheng's indifferent expression, Zhong Ruixi smiled and couldn't help but poke his forehead.

"Do I need to go alone to show off to my classmates?"

"I have my younger brother to argue for me."

Mr. Lu added calmly and with a smile.

"I usually don't pretend, but if I do, I'll do it in a big way."
