Chapter 22: He Shone All Summer
TL: Etude
On August 20th, Class 2 of the senior year organized another class reunion, held at the Jinding Xuan restaurant.
Almost everyone attended, except for those who had failed their exams and were repeating the year.
Of course, there were exceptions, like Jiang Qin, who neither failed nor bothered to show up.
This time, however, whether it was Qin Ziang, Yu Shasha, or anyone else, no one brought up Jiang Qin in their conversations, deliberately avoiding any mention of him.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
After all, why would they? He was no longer the rejected loser he once was.
Now, with tens of thousands in his hands, running a bar, and dabbling in various investments, mentioning him would only invite Guo Zihang to show off on behalf of his godfather, wouldnt it?
Huiru, did I hear right that Jiang Qin deleted Siqis QQ? someone asked.
Wang Huiru sighed, I asked Siqi about it, and yes, its true.
Yu Shasha couldnt help but steal a glance at Chu Siqi, Does Siqi still not know about Feng Nanshu?
She doesnt know. But dont you dare spill it. If Siqi finds out, with her temperament, she might just confront Jiang Qin. Shes always believed Jiang Qin still likes her; she wouldnt tolerate him liking someone else!
But we cant go on like this forever. Shes bound to find out someday.
Wang Huiru lowered her voice, I talked to Siqi. She just has a slight crush on Jiang Qin, nothing serious. So, I think Jiang Qin was right. This crush wont last long and will fade away soon. Maybe then, they can forget each other and turn hostility into friendship.
Yu Shasha looked at Wang Huiru in amazement, Huiru, youve never been in love, have you? You sound like a love guru.
Even if I havent eaten pork, havent I seen pigs run?
Then Ill come to you for love advice in the future.
Wang Huiru blushed, then sighed again, Do you think Siqi and Jiang Qin still have a chance? I think Jiang Qin is pretty decent.
Yu Shasha regretted even bringing it up, I used to think Jiang Qin was just a bookworm, but who knew he was so high-profile. Remember that night at the bar? The bartenders were all calling him Brother Jiang and bowing and scraping. He almost dazzled me. I couldnt help but feel drawn to him.
So, should we try to matchmake them again?
Its no use.
Why not?
As they chatted about various topics, the reunion gradually drew to a close.
Someone brought up past memories, and the mood in the private room suddenly turned melancholic.
Deep down, they all knew that after this summer, opportunities to gather like this would be scarce.
Everyone would have new friends, new classmates, new everything.
Even the closest of friends would inevitably drift apart after going their separate ways. It was a necessary part of growing up, saddening, yet unavoidable.
Chen Xiuxiu!
I
I like you, have liked you for a very long time!
I know its not the right time to confess, but I still hope youll be my girlfriend!
Yang Taisong, the sports committee member, downed his drink and finally blurted out the words hed been holding back. His loud voice startled everyone present.
Across from Yang Taisong, the girl named Chen Xiuxiu turned beet red, flustered, but eventually mustered the courage to apologetically decline.
Hearing this exchange, everyone sighed.
They had thought there might be a new couple in their class, but it ended up being unrequited. Yet, this is what made youth so precious its fearlessness.
After the party, the classmates split into small groups. Some planned to go online together, others to wander around.
Chu Siqi, who had been quiet all night, only spoke when she was alone with Wang Huiru and Yu Shasha.
Why didnt Chen Xiuxiu accept Yang Taisong? There were always rumors about them in class.
Its simple, she just doesnt like him.
Yeah, if you dont like someone, its okay to refuse. They can still be friends.
What about Jiang Qin? Whats wrong with him, ignoring me all summer?
Siqi, listen to me, forget about Jiang Qin. You dont like him anyway.
