The sun rose, and all things welcomed a new day.
The long-lost leisure time allowed Yu Daochen to sleep until noon without getting up.
"Deep night's cold wind, don't blow her away, her..."
A phone call rang, and Yu Daochen groggily opened his eyes. He saw an unfamiliar number calling.
He groggily answered and asked lazily, "Hello, who is this?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's already noon, old classmate. Haven't you woken up yet?"
Yu Daochen rubbed his eyes, yawned, and asked, "Not yet. What's up?"
Shi Yuqian on the other end of the phone said with a slight pout, "You promised me you'd come to the class reunion today."
Yu Daochen felt a bit awkward. "Okay, I'll definitely come. It's not late yet."
He had completely forgotten about it.
Shi Yuqian on the other end of the phone said indignantly, "Brother, it's not early anymore. We're already here."
"So early?" Yu Daochen looked at the time and was stunned.
It was only half past twelve.
Suddenly, another woman's voice chimed in, "Old classmate, I heard you've become a handsome guy now."
Yu Daochen listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and felt a bit awkward. "Who are you?"
Did he know the owner of this voice?
"Zhao Ling, hurry up and give me the phone." Shi Yuqian said angrily from the other end of the phone.
Perhaps the phone had been taken back, Shi Yuqian said a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Zhao Ling snatched my phone just now. My apologies."
"It's fine," Yu Daochen smiled faintly and made an excuse, "Sorry, I might have something to do here and will be a bit late."
"Is that so..." Shi Yuqian sounded a little disappointed and said, "Then you must come."
Yu Daochen hummed, "Don't worry, I'll definitely go tonight."
After chatting for a few more sentences, Yu Daochen hung up and lay back on the bed.
To be honest, he really didn't want to go.
On the other side.
In a park, more than a dozen men and women sat on the lawn, with friends sharing snacks and fruits, as if on a spring outing.
Three women sat on the lawn nearby, tutting and looking at the other girls.
"Girls really change a lot as they grow up. I never thought the chubby kid from elementary school would become so good-looking now," a young man named Gao Liang couldn't help but exclaim.
The young man named Cao Xin next to him also looked at the girls with a lewd smile, "Exactly, especially Zhao Ling. Damn, how many papayas did she eat, and how many professional masseuses did she have to get so big."
The last young man named Yang Mai glared at the two of them unhappily, "Don't get any ideas. Didn't you see they're all surrounding Jin Wei?"
Gao Liang snorted unhappily, "He's just a little more handsome and has a hundred million dollars. What's so great about that?"
Yang Mai and Cao Xin next to him looked at him with contempt.
Although they were envious and jealous, they also had some self-awareness.
In terms of looks, they were not as good as Jin Wei, and in terms of family background, they were also not as good as Jin Wei.
Even if they were envious and jealous, they could only keep it to themselves.
Gao Liang saw them looking at him with contempt and became even more unhappy, "Damn, who are you guys on the side of?"
Yang Mai sighed, shook his head helplessly, and patted Gao Liang's shoulder, "In terms of looks, although we're not handsome, at least we look like humans. But you really don't look human at all."
What Yang Mai said was true. Gao Liang's appearance was indeed a bit unsightly.
Not only was his face covered in pockmarks, but his eyes were also cross-eyed. Most importantly, his mouth looked like two protruding sausages, similar to a platypus.
The only advantage was probably his nose, which was very well-proportioned, even perfect.
Unfortunately, no matter how perfect the nose was, it couldn't play much of a role on this face.
It was like a dilapidated van having a piece of bulletproof glass – it was useless.
Instead, it would look out of place.
"I'll f*** you..." Gao Liang immediately started cursing.
On the other side, Jin Wei coughed and looked at all the girls, "Ladies, have you decided what to eat tonight?"
Jin Wei didn't look at Yang Mai and the others at all. Instead, he looked at Zhao Ling, who was leading the group.
To put it bluntly, his target was this old classmate.
One of the girls looked at Jin Wei with adoration in her eyes, "We're fine with anything. You decide where we go."
Seeing this, Jin Wei's face remained expressionless, but he was secretly pleased. He coughed and said, "Then I'll host. We'll eat at Sihai Restaurant and then go to KTV to sing."
Zhao Ling looked at Jin Wei with disdain, "Eating is fine, but let's skip KTV. A bunch of men and women drinking together, and when they get drunk, things can easily happen. If anything, I'll host. I'll invite everyone to take a bath and have some tea. It's good for the body, and we can chat about elementary school days."
How could Zhao Ling not know what kind of ulterior motives Jin Wei had?
He just wanted them all to get drunk so he could make a move.
She had seen plenty of people like him.
If it came to money, Zhao Ling was not inferior to Jin Wei, and could even surpass him.
Jin Wei smiled, not angry at being rebuffed. Instead, he said with a gentlemanly smile, "It was my oversight. How about this, I'll call for a table first, and after we've eaten and drunk our fill, we can discuss where to go?"
Seeing that Jin Wei was so accommodating, all the girls turned to look at Zhao Ling, with a hint of resentment.
Shi Yuqian next to her pulled Zhao Ling's arm, "Can't you just say a few less words? Look, everyone is looking at you."
Zhao Ling had a nonchalant expression, "Let them look. They're just envious that their chests aren't as big as mine."
Shi Yuqian sighed and pinched Zhao Ling's left waist, "You little girl, you just love to use your advantages to highlight their weaknesses."
Shi Yuqian's words were unintentional, but they sounded different to others.
All the girls looked at Zhao Ling's chest, "...".
This was a killing blow, a complete killing blow.
Seeing that all the girls were turning their attention to Shi Yuqian, Jin Wei coughed and smiled, "Everyone must be thirsty. I'll go cut some watermelon for you."
Upon hearing this, all the girls finally focused their attention on Jin Wei.
Jin Wei looked at Shi Yuqian, smiled, and asked, "By the way, when is classmate Yu Daochen coming?"
Shi Yuqian shook her head, "I don't know. He said he's busy with something and might come a bit later. He told us not to worry about him."
"Is that so?" Jin Wei nodded and said, "He hasn't been back for so many years. His sudden return to the village must mean he's made a lot of money. Perhaps he's here to repay the village."
Just as Shi Yuqian was about to speak, Zhao Ling retorted, "I don't know if he's made a lot of money, but he's definitely more handsome than you!"
