Chapter 1 High School Party
Before going out, my mother didn't forget to nag: "Don't wear such tall shoes. If you come back drunk and spruce your foot, I will swell your face!" I touched my face. Yesterday's hangover edema has not been eliminated, but the makeup has been well concealed. Standing at the front of the mirror at the entrance, there is a brown slim sweater in the black down jacket, and boots with a heel height of more than 10 cm. Standing there is a height of 1.8 meters. No wonder from the Spring Festival to the sixth day of the first lunar new year, there are various parties every night, and I have not received a second invitation from the right man. Anyway, I don't want to be asked. I don't care, but in my mother's eyes, I am an elderly young woman who has just passed her 29th birthday. Now she has no boyfriend, which has become a problem for her.
She is still as president. Although she hasn't retired for a few years, she keeps getting married to the children of her colleagues who don't have a high position. There are colleagues of my age, and even her grandchildren have gone to kindergarten. She is so impatient. How can she tolerate others asking me when I will get married as soon as they see her, and I can't stand it. The kind of irony "The daughter taught by President Lu is a high-minded person. I don't know what kind of good husband will open our eyes in the future!" That's it. So every year when I go home for the Spring Festival, it's a day for me to suffer... Taking advantage of my mother's roaring, my father quickly walked to me, handed me a bag of warm milk, and whispered, "Don't drink so much wine today. Come back as soon as you don't agree."
I went out, stopped a taxi, and went to Fucheng Ruifu Hotel.
Tonight is a gathering of high school students in Class 3 and 9 of Fucheng No. 1 Middle School.
During the Spring Festival, there are not many, but there are many parties.
When I first came home a year ago, I was still surprised when I met the former monitor Li Yu on the street, but he recognized me at a glance. At that time, he was still holding a pink girl in his hand, but the years did not erase his loud voice as before. Su Ling! It's you! You are still so thin and tall. You used to be like a tom boy, but now there are a lot of women. He said and asked for my phone, "You can't be absent from this year's party. Wait for my phone call after the Spring Festival. After saying that, he took his daughter away. I didn't have time to pinch the child's fleshy little face a few more times.
Since I graduated from high school, I have never contacted my former classmates. After so many years, I suddenly want to see my former classmates. I don't know why I feel a little uncomfortable, but I want to go and want to know if she will go.
Although it is a thing of the past, it has never started. There is a saying that the charm of first love is infinite.
I don't have time to hesitate. As soon as my mother heard that I had a classmate party on the sixth day of the lunar new year, she kicked me out of the house, because there were many examples that I didn't find a partner and suddenly looked at the same eye at the class reunion, which made her full of hope. She thought more and more that I went back alone every year because I had never been to a high school party.
The hotel business after the Spring Festival is the most lively time. I think that I didn't get the year-end full attendance reward of the Yecheng "Golden Brilliant" Garden Club this year, and I was a little panicked. Thinking of the amount to be returned to He Baoer after the New Year, I was even more painful. I want to go back after the Spring Festival and save my clothes. Food is essential. What should I do with the rent for half a year? Although my father will supplement me, the money I lack is so big!
Thinking about my own trouble, I have been led into the luxurious private room of Class 39 by the waiter. When he pushed the door and went in, there was already a room full of people. Seeing someone coming again, they looked up one after another.
"You can't guess who this is!" Li Yu stood up to greet me and pulled me in front of everyone. The people in front of him were middle-aged, and many of them were already fat. It didn't quite right with the youthful faces in my memory. I could only glance over and nodded.
"Is it really Su Ling?" A slightly fat young woman in a black sweater stood up and took my hand affectionately, "I'm Julie, do you remember? The one sitting in front of you." Julie? Of course I remember the deskmate of the girl I first fell in love with. I said you were really cruel. You haven't contacted us for more than ten years." Julie is still as straightforward as before. She identified my former classmates one by one.
Not long after sitting down, Julie was telling me that Qin Ru had gone abroad five years ago... The door was pushed open. Feather! It's late, it's late, it's a punishment!" Li Yu stood up again and shouted.
Mo Yuyu? I looked up at the door. The man who came in was wearing a black tweed coat. When he glanced at everyone, he looked at me, and his eyes lit up in an instant. Mo Yuyu has always been handsome. Although he is in his thirties like me, he is well maintained. If his clothes hadn't matured and revealed a sense of a successful man, I thought he had just passed twenty-five this year.
The difference between a 20-year-old man and a 30-year-old man is that a 20-year-old man is far less than the sleek edges and corners of a 30-year-old man's grace and a seemingly friendly but alienated smile.
After Li Yu's arrangement, Mo Yuyu sat next to me. Su Ling." He nodded and greeted me.
"There is no introduction. How do you recognize me?" I'm surprised.
Mo Yuyu just smiled, motioned the waiter to pour himself a glass of wine, stood up and said, "I have something to do at home. I'm late. I'll punish myself a glass."
Former sports committee member, Lu Chen, who used to be nicknamed "Skin Monkey", now ate a big belly stool, stood up, waved his hand with a very official atmosphere, and said loudly with a smile, "If it's late, it's three glasses of wine. There is no reason to fine a cup!"
Maybe his old classmates were present. Mo Yuyu didn't say much. He drank three glasses of wine in one gulp. When it was, he shouted all over the place. Julie hugged my arm and smiled. She smiled and said, "Mo Yu is so happy. That's what an old classmate is!"
I saw that his side face turned a little red, and I didn't know if it was important. I put a piece of honey-brewed pork ribs on his plate and said, "Eat some sweet pressed wine."
When it comes to the feeling of eating this meal, I'm actually very happy.
After all, he is an old classmate I haven't seen for many years, and some big holidays have disappeared in the passage of time. It is also a rare fate to study with my classmates.
During the banquet, people often toasted me. I drank them one by one and listened to them talk about some things over the years.
"I remember that at that time, Mo Yuyu and Su Ling were at the same table, playing basketball and having classes together. The relationship was not bad!" Julie was particularly excited to talk about the past, pointing to me and Mo Yuyu.
"That's right, come on, a toast to the elderly." I picked up my glass with a smile and had a drink with him.
"Su Ling, did you just say you are in Yecheng now? Will it be there from now on? Julie asked me, "Don't you want to leave in the big city after graduating from college?"
"It's just looking for a place to stay." I said with a smile. Since I graduated from college in Yecheng, I have never left that city again. Anyway, I have gone far. If I stay at home, I don't have a boyfriend now. It's no wonder that my mother is not driven crazy. A marginal person like me dares to stay too close to home.
"I have just been in Yecheng for more than a year since I transferred my job." Mo Yuyu said, touching me with his wine glass, "You have to contact me in the future."
"How much contact?" I looked at him, covered my slightly frown and nodded, "Of course."
Julie was also happy. Seeing that we were a little awkward to say this, she squeezed her eyes at Chen Ruirui, who was sitting on Mo Yu's side. Is Qian Yu married now? He shook his head. Where's Su Ling?" I can only shake my head. Fucheng is a small city. Although I don't come back often, with my mother's popularity, it is estimated that the whole city knows that her disappointing daughter is still single, and it is useless to cover it up.
"That's a coincidence!" Chen Ruirui and Julie giggled for a while. Mo Yu and I raised our eyebrows helplessly, which was relatively embarrassing.
The classmate party had this meal for a very long time. After dinner, Li Yu greeted everyone to go to the KTV private room of the hotel to sing and find a space. I walked to the outer corridor of the KTV private room. The wine was full of wine, and I only felt that my walking was wobbly. Su Ling..." I turned around, and it was Mo Yuyu who came over. He saw that I was shaking so much that he wanted to reach out and help me. I flashed very quickly. Unexpectedly, I dodged too quickly. My high-heeled boots accidentally spruled, and my painful face turned white in an instant.
"After singing the song, I'll take you home." Mo Yuyu said, under such a warm yellow light, he bowed his head and I happened to look at him and saw Mo Yuyu's expectant eyes.
"It's good." I nodded gently.
Let's go back to the KTV box together. It has already been very happy. The Little Tigers' "Love" and Zhou Huajian's "Friends" Julie actually sang "Let's Swing Double Oars" in a sharp voice. Lu Chen stood on the left and right and slapped her. The other girls also drank a lot of wine and were happy. Sing along there. Mo Yu and I also went to sit on the sofa and beat. He asked me, "Do you have any songs you want to sing? I'll order them for you." I shook my head and just listened with a smile. I don't want to think about the past anymore.
Mo Yuyu also listened to the singing attentively. When he was not looking at me, I took advantage of the flashing blue light of the fluorescent screen to watch him. When he was young, although Mo Yuyu had an outstanding family background and appearance, he was a very silent and gloomy person. At that time, I was also full of worries, but I always pretended to be free and easy. In the afternoon of many lunch breaks, I lay on the desk and stared straight at Qin Ru's back. At that time, Qin Ru's long hair was like a waterfall. When she shook her head back, there were always a few traces floating in front of me. I have never wanted to see Mo Yu again, because he once saw my secret. I didn't dare to see my old classmates for so many years, but I was afraid that he would tell my secret, but he showed goodwill calmly like this, which made me uneasy.
