Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: Hello Classmate

Gu Fan immediately redirected his gaze while almost everyone’s attention was already on the graceful figure who had just entered the door, as well as her face, which was as perfect as an angel’s.

A few girls who were close to Li Shi back in the day immediately greeted her. They chatted and laughed, and even arranged a seat for Li Shi.

Li Shi greeted everyone with a smile, her behavior and manners very proper, radiating an elegant quality. A slight smile from her could topple empires, causing Gu Fan to actually become somewhat spellbound.

Guo Ye nudged Gu Fan’s arm, "How about it, this class reunion wasn’t a waste of time, was it?"

"What are you talking about? This time we are mainly here to help you. As for me, you don’t need to worry," Gu Fan said, then walked over to greet others.

Guo Ye couldn’t help but sigh, "A handsome man and a beautiful woman favored by everyone in the past, separated by the whims of fate, are now brought back together by my arrangement. Whether they can rekindle their past relationship is up to destiny."

Another male classmate kindly reminded him, "You better take care of yourself. It’s no good if Gu Fan and Li Shi rekindle their past relationship and you go back empty-handed, then what would be the point of us going to all the trouble of organizing this class reunion?"

Hearing this, Guo Ye sprang into action with renewed energy, picking up his glass to join the fray.

This class reunion, the first since high school graduation, drew forty classmates, filling four tables. After taking their seats, everyone mingled and raised toasts, chatting about everything under the sun.

Li Shi naturally became the center of attention, with many coming over to greet her, lamenting that the class flower was inconsiderate to have transferred schools without warning.

To this, Li Shi apologized and took a penalty drink. She then said that although she transferred schools, she still regarded this class as her high school classmates. When she heard about the reunion, she responded enthusiastically. She was delighted to attend and, even though she wasn’t with everyone during senior year, she still considered herself a part of the class.

It must be said, Li Shi’s words greatly impressed everyone once again.

There are some women who are not just beautiful, with great figures and charm, successful careers, and pleasant personalities, but also have high emotional intelligence, the ability to speak well, and strong charisma. Surely, this type of woman is the pinnacle for all females.

In their brief interaction, many acknowledged Li Shi’s appeal. She really had it all.

Just then, Gu Fan approached Li Shi, and she noticed him too. Their eyes met, neither shying away but gazing deeply into each other’s eyes, conveying everything without words.

Eventually, it was Gu Fan who broke the silence with a polite, "Hello!"

Li Shi nodded and returned the greeting, "Hello!"

Everyone present knew about Gu Fan and Li Shi’s past relationship; they were almost a couple. Now, seeing the possibility of them getting back together, the classmates were all excited, anticipating the drama to unfold.

The atmosphere grew peculiar, with everyone looking forward to it, glancing back and forth from Gu Fan to Li Shi, as if these two were the main characters of this class reunion.

Gu Fan reached out with his glass with a slight smile, "Welcome back to our collective, class flower. Our gathering might as well have been organized just to welcome you."

"If that’s really the case, then I have to thank you," Li Shi responded with a smile of her own, then proactively clinked glasses with Gu Fan, the sound of their glasses touching seeming to stir the heartstrings.

After that, Gu Fan didn’t say much. He offered his toast, exchanged greetings, and then returned to his seat to chat with old classmates he rarely got to see.

Li Shi, too, was busy socializing with other classmates, so the two of them didn’t interact too frequently, much to the disappointment of those who were hoping for a good show.

After a while, everyone had a moment of realization. After all, so many years had passed and they had all grown up now, meaning they were more mature. Gu Fan and Li Shi couldn’t possibly behave as they did in the past, as if no one else were there, fooling around in front of everyone.

However, some could see that there seemed to be a sense of strangeness and distance between Gu Fan and Li Shi. It looked as though rekindling their past relationship was not going to happen, a true pity for the both of them.

The four tables of people ate and drank while chatting. After so many years, there seemed to be no end to their conversations, and they just couldn’t stop.

To enhance the atmosphere, Guo Ye even played precious videos and photos from their high school days, causing everyone to reminisce about how wonderful those times were. They really had too many memories.

But Guo Ye played a clever trick by presenting a photo of Gu Fan and Li Shi sitting together, gazing into each other’s eyes, which stirred up quite a reaction from the crowd and embarrassed both Gu Fan and Li Shi.

Almost as if by telepathy, Gu Fan and Li Shi glanced at each other at the same time, yet showed no embarrassment, smiling courteously instead.

Many noticed this exchange between Gu Fan and Li Shi, and couldn’t help but comment, "These two still act just like before, not a bit sheepish, treating us all like air."

Gu Fan ignored the comment and immediately made a toast to Guo Ye, thanking him for all the hard work and preparation he put into this class reunion, truly appreciative.

Apart from Gu Fan, several other classmates joined in expressing their gratitude to Guo Ye, which resonated with everyone. Led by Gu Fan, they all applauded Guo Ye, making him the star of the reunion.

Guo Ye said it was all his responsibility. In high school, when he was bullied by gangsters from outside, it was the boys from the class who unified to chase the bullies away. Because of that, he had a particular fondness for this collective.

At the mention of this event, everyone laughed. Back then, they truly felt a sense of belonging, and it was great being part of that class.

But someone mentioned how Li Shi was bullied by boys from another class, and everyone followed Gu Fan to stand up for her. Just as they were about to fight, the principal happened by, scaring everyone away, and the group fight didn’t happen, saving them from even more serious consequences.

There were many events like these to recall, and everyone spoke endlessly. The classmates even learned about some secretive actions of smaller groups from back then, like how someone had been quite close to students from another class without the rest knowing.

"No way, they were actually together? They really kept it under wraps," the classmates discovered many previously unknown stories through this reunion, expressing shock and disbelief that such things had happened.

After hearing about so many events, Gu Fan was full of emotions. This was everyone’s youth, a time they could never return to. Some things missed were surely missed for a lifetime.
