Chapter 1 – The Misunderstanding of the Past

October.

After the national day celebrations had passed, just like the Battle of Waterloo the initially overpowering hot weather was finally chased away by the cold winds and the atmosphere became bleak.

The raindrops let out an endless string of pitter-patter sounds as they fell against the shade covering the veranda.

Seeing as it was Saturday today, Qing-An did not need to go to work today, and as of right now, she was taking her time as she carefully selected her outfit and did her makeup with great care.

All of this effort was because she was about to attend a high school reunion later that night, and this was also the reason she had brought out a beige-colored dress with long sleeves from the depths of her closet.

The dress stopped just above her knees, and the ribbon around her waist was tied in a loose butterfly knot. The soft material of the garment gave Qing-An this sophisticated sort-of elegant aura.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she outlined her brows, applied on fresh lipstick and when all that was done, Qing-An got to her feet. Then she put on a pair of black stilettos, picked up a small black purse and after grabbing an umbrella, she set off on her way.

The location of the reunion was not too far away from her house, if she drove she could probably make it in 10 minutes.

The people she was going to meet were her high school schoolmates, and thinking about it now, that time seemed really far away from her. Mmm, that’s right, 10 years have already passed since then and now.

I wonder if You-zi will come…

After parking her car and entering the eatery called Wan Xin Restaurant, under the kind service of the staff, Qing-An successfully made it to the booked private room where the reunion was to be held.

There were two round tables inside the private room, and around 10 or more people had already arrived. Of these, there was a mixture of both males and females.

Their female classmate Miss C – who had once been teased for looking like a village bum, was wearing a one-piece Chanel dress and had on a European style of makeup. Once she caught sight of Qing-An who had just arrived, she even got to her feet and motioned for Qing-An to come and sit beside her. Then, Qing-An soon noticed that Miss C’s finger was adorned with a magnificently huge diamond Darry Ring.

Darry Rings – could only ever be given to one person during a person’s entire lifetime, and when a gentleman proceeded with purchasing it for his lover, he would need to identify himself.

After Miss C succeeded in getting Qing-An to sit down next to her, she was suddenly distracted by a call from her husband. It was soon clear that her husband was merely calling to check-up on her, and judging by the sweet blissful smile on her face, it looked like they were a happy couple, and Qing-An could not help but smile at this.

And about that youth – the one the one who had terribly pimpled skin, and had always avoided direct eye-contact had now changed. Little Mr G, who used to dress sloppily was now in decked out in a suit

He told Qing’an that after graduating from University, he went to set up stalls, sold barbecues, and ran through sales. He had suffered a lot in the past few years, but fortunately, it was a happy ending.

He bought a house, his girlfriend bought a car, and they got married three years ago, and now his daughter is one year old.

When he saw Qing’an, he said excitedly to Qing’an: “Qing’an, when I was subjected to campus violence, if you hadn’t come forward and enlightened me, I might not have been here! Maybe, I will live in the state of autistic and self-confident all my life. Thank you very much

After hearing this, Qing’an raised her eyebrows slightly and laughed at the corner of her mouth, saying that she was welcome.

So, I have done some good things.

More than ten minutes later, Qiao Ling arrived.

Rose red Strapless hip dress, carrying a white bag, short hair to the shoulder, leaving Qi bangs, Japanese makeup, eyelash brush some exaggeration.

As soon as Qiao Ling came in, the atmosphere became lively. After all, this guy, in high school, has always been the liveliest girl in the class.

After a few minutes, the waiter brought the dishes one after another. Wang Qi, the old monitor, stood up and said, “are you all here? Ah? Did Yu Zi not come? “

Hearing the name of Yu Zi, Qing’an raised her head conditionally.

“Qing’an, you and Yu Zi have a good time. Have you informed her? I don’t have her contact information. I can’t find her. ” Wang Qi looked around and locked her eyes on Qing’an.

“She and I didn’t have much fun when we were in senior three.” Qingan said.

“Oh, ha ha, maybe she won’t come.” Qiao Ling looked at Qing’an and then said with a smile.

So Wang Qi nodded and poured wine for himself, saying, “big guy, long time no see! Let’s drink

After listening, Qing’an also raised a cup of coconut milk in her hand, and then stood up to clink glasses with everyone.

After three rounds of drinking, people were very excited, and they began to talk about the interesting stories of high school.

“We in Qing’an can be said to be very strong, so strong that even the school is ashamed! It’s important for a man like me to admire

“Yes, in those days, the school was not greedy about our data fees. Qing’an used a calculator to calculate the cost of a round of data, and then rushed into the principal’s office with Yu Zi to talk about it! What a bully

“That is, at that time, we all knew that the school was greedy, but no one dared to speak. They just rolled up their sleeves and went to work! Finally, under pressure, the school leaders called our grade together for a meeting

“I also remember that Yu Zi was like a lawyer at that time. Haha, she raised her hand to ask the question once when the school leader really said something. Then we won the victory. I remember that at the end of that week, the school gave us 200 yuan back to each of us? “

……

Yes, it is. At that time, she and Yu Zi were just little angels in the class. Although they were not the class committee members, they did a lot of things.

It’s a pity that something unpleasant happened later, and they broke up like this.

Qing’an drinks coconut milk, then looks at the beef pot in front of her in a daze. Her cheeks are flushed by the atmosphere in the room.

“Ha ha, they were so good at that time. I envy them so much. Both of them are beautiful, tall, with good grades and artistic talent. If Yu Zi draws a picture at will, he will get the provincial and municipal special prize; if Qing’an writes a composition, he will also get the first prize. Even my parents care about their grades all day long. “

“But there are times when they lose their chains. I remember one time, they went to the Internet bar, the next day to test Chinese, two people stayed up late to be delirious. In the latter composition, Yu Zi wrote a sentence: “I am a thousand year old tree with excellent achievements”, while Qing’an wrote a sentence: “come on, let’s go to the Internet bar and have a drink together!” When the teacher read them out as negative textbooks, I almost died of laughter

When everyone recalled the incident, they all laughed and beat the table.

Why do you go to the Internet bar the day before the exam?

Because Yu Zi’s parents divorced the night before, but it was not a peaceful divorce, so there was a lot of fuss. YuriTranslations

At that time, Qing’an stayed at Yu Zi’s house. Seeing that Yu Zi was not happy, Qing’an took Yu Zi and ran outside. Then they watched two horror films and several variety shows in the Internet bar.

As a result, both of them lost their links the next day.

Thinking of this, Qing’an breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks, and went to pick up the beef, while saying: “it’s all over, and then I broke up with her, didn’t I?”

When you put the beef in your mouth, the spicy taste spreads from your mouth. Qing’an stares at her eyes. Then she opens her mouth, raises her hand and blows the wind around her mouth. At the same time, she holds up coconut milk and pours it fiercely.

After Qiao Ling saw it, she quickly poured another cup of coconut milk for Qing’an, then helped her to her shoulder and said, “eat slowly, eat slowly. What’s the hurry? Nobody grabs you.”

“No, it’s just too spicy.” Qingan put the tissue under her eyes and pressed it.

However, since then, no one mentioned Yuzi any more.

We continue to talk about other things.

Then he went to KTV, drinking, playing games and singing.

However, since then, no one mentioned Yuzi any more.

Then he went to KTV, drinking, playing games and singing.

Next to Qiao Ling and everyone are still playing very open, but she always loses games, so she was filled with a lot of wine. ReadonYuriTranslations

Qing’an took the microphone and sang one song after another with another girl who didn’t like playing games.

At 11:30 p.m., everyone left the KTV.

However, Qiao Ling was a little drunk.

Because of the way, Qing’an decided to drive Qiao Ling back to the hotel she had ordered.

Together with her male classmate, she put Qiao Ling in the front passenger’s seat. After fastening her seat belt, Qing’an went back to her driver’s seat, closed the door, and then drove to what Qiao Ling called “Jiaxing Hotel”.

For this city, which has been here for many years, Qing’an is already familiar with it. Except for the new streets, many old streets can be found directly without relying on navigation.

Yuzi didn’t come today because no one could contact her.

But it’s also good, if you really come and meet, it’s a little embarrassing.

Some people, destined to only appear in each other’s adolescence, no matter how close the feelings were, but also because of certain things, destined to only accompany each other to walk that distance.

After arriving at the hotel, Qing’an contacted the hotel staff and moved Qiao Ling, who was drunk and heavy, to her room.

After the door opened, the hotel staff left. After Qing’an put Qiao Ling on the bed, she intended to leave, but her wrist was caught.

“What’s the matter?” Qing’an turns back and looks at Qiao Ling. She is crying.

Her make-up all flowed away under the halo of tears.

“Qing’an, I’m sorry for you, I’m sorry for you and Yu Zi, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”

Qiao Ling said, the cry gradually increased, and then suddenly howled.

The window glass of the hotel was not closed tightly. The wind came from outside and lifted the thin curtain.

Qing’an stood there, frowning at Qiao Ling, and then asked, “what are you talking about?”

“Qing’an, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Qiao Ling grabbed Qing’an’s wrist and swayed, but mechanically repeated those words in her mouth.

“What are you sorry about me?” Qing’an sits down and holds Qiao Ling’s chin to make her face herself.

“At the beginning, the love letter you wrote to school grass, no, she didn’t put it into your mailbox secretly! Yes, I did! At that time, you two were chatting in the canteen. When you said you wrote a love letter to the school grass, I heard it when I passed by. Then I ran to your drawer and flipped Because, because I also like the school grass, but I’m afraid that you will compete with me. After all, you are excellent, and we all know that school grass is also interesting to you. If you give the school grass love letter, I will be dead! “

Qiao Ling finished and continued to cry.

After hearing this, Qing’an stretched out her hand and held it high in the air, hoping to give her a firm slap.

But in the end, Qing’an shook her fist and finally put down her hand.

In high school, she secretly fell in love with Zheng Zhiwen for two years, which she only told Yu Zi.

In the last period of her senior year, she couldn’t help but write a love letter to Zheng Zhiwen. She only said it to Yu Zi during lunch and did not tell anyone else.

But then, at noon, she found her love letter missing. She looked for a long time, also asked Yu Zi to see, but did not find.

Then when she went back in the evening, she found the love letter in her parents’ hands. A computer printed letter was also attached.

The letter read: “your daughter doesn’t want to be enterprising. She only cares about falling in love. She has not only fallen in love with someone for two years, but also starts to write love letters. That’s why her place in the last exam dropped. You can do it yourself.”

The reason for the decline in grades described in that letter is entirely fictitious. She didn’t do well in the exam because she was in a bad mood that day and had a heat stroke at noon.

But my parents don’t care about it. They just think that she fell in love early and affected her grades, and she didn’t want to repent. She should continue to write love letters and fight.

So, she was scolded by her parents very badly, and she was given a slap in the face.

At that time, for Qing’an, only Yu Zi knew these things and knew that there were love letters.

But when she questioned Yu Zi, Yu Zi didn’t even admit that she had shaken him to his parents.

After that, the relationship between the two people changed so subtly, until later, no one paid attention to the other.

Qing’an’s hands are shaking.

When Qiao Ling grasped her hand again, Qing’an waved her arm and turned away without expression.
