Chapter 1226: 846 Second update!

Heavyweights always make their appearance last.

By now, all the participants of the alumni meeting had arrived.

As the initiator, organizer, and sponsor of this alumni gathering, Chi Jin undoubtedly received star-like treatment, with everyone huddling around him, trying to cozy up.

It couldn’t be helped.

That Audi Hoxi was just too eye-catching, sufficiently indicating certain information.

Just like banquets among high society, alumni meetings are also prime times for networking.

Gao Jianqiang’s behavior was quite interesting; during their school days, these two had nothing to do with each other, yet now, he seemed quite close, sitting by Chi Jin’s side, pouring tea and water.

They say that education can change one’s fate, but sometimes that might just be a disingenuous remark.

Not to mention Xie Wendong, who used to rank within the top hundred in their grade – whose academic achievements at school weren’t better than Chi Jin’s? But what about their circumstances after entering society?

Jiang Chen, the only one who rode a bicycle, did not join the bustling crowd but sat with Xie Wendong, chatting leisurely with an old classmate they had long not seen, which also seemed quite comfortable.

"Jiang Chen, you’re really not caring too much, are you? We haven’t seen each other for so many years, and you just ride a bicycle here?"

If they weren’t on good terms, such words would definitely not be said to one’s face.

"Even though it’s not far, walking here does take quite some time."

Jiang Chen responded as if it were a matter of course.

Xie Wendong was speechless.

That wasn’t what he meant at all.

Of course, Jiang Chen noticed the snug suit on his old deskmate and, as if he finally came to a realization, understood.

"I should have taken a taxi."

Xie Wendong glanced at the lively scene over at Chi Jin’s side, his eyes showing a bit of envy, and then he sighed, "It’s okay, the way you are is quite good, why bother about what others think."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

Riding a bicycle was indeed merely for convenience and also to get some exercise; he really hadn’t given it much thought and didn’t expect it to elicit such profound sentiments from an old classmate.

He patted Xie Wendong on the shoulder, "It’s time to pay attention to staying in shape."

"Jiang Chen."

A voice called out.

Jiang Chen turned his head and saw two ladies standing by his side.

"Do you still recognize who I am?"

Jiang Chen first stood up, a small detail displaying his current gentlemanly demeanor, then carefully scrutinized the other person for a while.

"Disciplinary Committee Member?"

Ouyang Qing smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, from now on, you don’t have to participate in cleaning duties in our class."

With just that one sentence, everyone was instantly transported back to those high school days.

Xie Wendong, who also stood up, exhibited a nostalgic smile.

"Now here’s a challenge, do you recognize her?"

Following Ouyang Qing’s cue, Jiang Chen’s gaze naturally shifted to the petite woman beside her.

Although the other party was looking at him directly with a smile, Jiang Chen still noticed, for some reason, a hint of shyness suppressed in her eyes.

"Countdown."

"Five."

"Four."

"Two."

"Answer failed."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but grin, turning to Ouyang Qing, "Old Disciplinary Committee Member, aren’t you making it difficult for me? I didn’t know any pretty girls back in high school."

That remark of his was indeed quite witty.

Xie Wendong suddenly looked at him differently, sensing the great changes that had taken place in him.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m ugly?"

Ouyang Qing glared.

Jiang Chen replied unperturbed and with ease, "The Old Disciplinary Committee Member doesn’t need to rely on her appearance, just her substance alone surpasses countless others."

Xie Wendong stared, awestruck.

Even though she knew it was flattery, aren’t all women auditory creatures? Ouyang Qing quickly broke into a smile, giving Jiang Chen a "you know what’s up" look.

"I’ll give you another chance, guess again."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

"Here’s a hint, she’s one of our old classmates too."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was quite surprised, and couldn’t help but take another look at the delicate and frail woman who easily aroused a man’s protective instincts.

Without a doubt.

The woman must be a beauty.

But if he were to honestly ask himself, justly and objectively, there really weren’t any pretty girls in their high school class.

"There were only five girls in our class altogether, you can’t possibly have forgotten them all, can you?"

Even though the range had been drastically narrowed down, Jiang Chen still didn’t have the slightest clue.

Fortunately, Xie Wendong was generous enough to whisper a hint: "Wu Yu..."

"Shut your mouth."

Ouyang Qing glared.

But with Xie Wendong’s hint, if he still couldn’t remember, then he really deserved to be punished.

Jiang Chen looked surprised, genuinely so, and even sized up the other party from head to toe, "You’re Wu Yufei?"

The Wu Yufei who looked almost nothing like she did in high school extended her fair and clean hand, "It’s been a long time."

Although they’d barely spoken a few words, having been classmates for three years, the fact they saw each other every day didn’t mean he had no impression of her at all.

The image of a plain face with glasses surfaced from his memory and gradually overlapped with the face before him.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and could only marvel at how much a girl can change, then reached out his hand.

"Long time no see."

A touch and then withdrawal.

"Click-click-click..."

At the same time, the sound of the camera shutter went off.

Jiang Chen turned reflexively, only to see Tong Dan snapping away with her phone, blatantly photographing his direction and not restraining herself even after being discovered.

Jiang Chen, as if he hadn’t noticed, didn’t stop Tong Dan’s infringement of his portrait rights, and quickly looked away nonchalantly, sincerely saying, "If we met on the street, I definitely wouldn’t have recognized you."

Not to mention you, when Yu Fei came in just now, some people even asked if she had come to the wrong place."

Xie Wendong joked.

"You’ve changed quite a bit as well."

Wu Yufei, who could be described as transformed, let down her delicate arm with a smile, "You used to always be expressionless and barely interact with people."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Really? I don’t think you ever spoke to me back then either."

Indeed.

Three years as classmates, the two may never have communicated as closely as they were now.

"Jiang Chen, now you make it sound like it was our fault. Back then, you were like a lone ranger, always keeping to yourself, who would dare to speak to you?"

Ouyang Qing interjected.

"My mistake."

Jiang Chen didn’t argue, but graciously conceded, "Are you all developing careers in River City now?"

"That’s right, I can’t compare with you; I haven’t even been to East Sea yet."

Ouyang Qing sighed and teased.

"River City isn’t bad, being a rising first-tier city. In terms of development prospects, few cities can compare."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Xie Wendong just told me and I couldn’t believe it, but it seems like you’ve really become good at talking."

"Old Disciplinary Committee, you talk as if I used to be mute."

Jiang Chen’s joke made all the old classmates laugh together.

Perhaps this is what class reunions are all about.

Wu Yufei’s eyes curved brightly as she looked at that familiar yet different face, and memories of youth uncontrollably assailed her, causing ripples in her heart.
