My Dear Classmate Chapter 1: Same table relationship [1]

Gu Zhiran suffered from insomnia last night, tossing and turning, and gradually fell asleep in the middle of the night.

She was sleeping on her side with the quilt in her arms, most of her face was buried in the pillow, her breathing was shallow, and if you looked carefully, you could find that her brows were slightly wrinkled, and there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes.

A message sounded in the quiet space, her brows moved, and then she slowly opened her eyes, but the eyelids were too heavy and tight, so she moved slowly for a while before opening them. Sure enough, at night Going to bed after crying will cause my eyes to become swollen.

She reached out and touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, opened the message, and there were not a few words in the message, but she read it for two minutes, then put her hand down feebly, and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes , and then close slowly.

Taking a deep breath, when he opened his eyes again, the determination in his eyes could not be concealed.

Get up, wash, and change clothes in one go, then open the door of your own bedroom, and walk to the living room on the first floor.

Gu's mother, Zhang Siqing, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, watching a Korean drama, when she heard the sound of her precious daughter coming down the stairs, she reluctantly turned her eyes away from the long-legged Ouba, raised her eyes to look at Gu Zhiran, Then he returned to the TV screen, and said leisurely: "Of course, I woke up, there is porridge and fried noodles in the kitchen."

As soon as Gu Zhiran came out of the bedroom door, he heard the voices of "Ouba", "Idiot you" and "Mmm dad" from the TV, and he knew that his mother was watching Korean dramas again. It's strange to say that she is a young and beautiful girl, and she should be crazy about those long legs and small meat all day long, but these are not suitable for her appetite, but her forty-something but eternal youth heart of mom's appetite.

She also knows that at an age when she should be chasing celebrities, she always has only one person in her eyes.

I just thought your heart was the same as mine, but in the end I found out that you have always been passionate about yourself. Gu Zhiran laughed at himself, walked towards the living room.

"Don't you want breakfast? Today's fried noodles are very good!" Zhang Siqing felt that the other side of the sofa was sunken, and when she looked up, she found that Gu Zhiran had sat down.

"I'll eat later, Mom, I have something to tell you." Gu Zhiran turned sideways, facing Zhang Siqing.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Siqing noticed that her daughter was speaking a little seriously, so she pressed the pause button and raised her head to ask.

"Well... I decided to study in the UK."

As soon as Gu Zhiran finished speaking, Zhang Siqing threw the remote control aside with a look of surprise on her face, moved forward and hugged Gu Zhiran into her arms, and said excitedly, "Baby, that's great. Now, you finally figured it out."

Gu Zhiran just finished the college entrance examination a few days ago. In fact, before the college entrance examination, Gu's father Gu Cheng and Zhang Siqing suggested that she should study abroad after the college entrance examination. But Gu Zhiran rejected it at that time, because she loves the great mountains and rivers of China and is unwilling to go abroad. Although Gu's father and mother had regrets in their hearts, they still respected their daughter's choice and let her go.

So today, Gu Zhiran suddenly said that he was going to study abroad, of course Zhang Siqing was happy. Although there are many good universities in China and her baby daughter's grades are also very good, she and Gu Cheng still hope that she will go out to see the world and experience herself.

"Mom, do you have to be so happy? Don't tell me you don't miss me when I go to England and you don't see me a few times a year?" It's not that the parents are very reluctant to leave their hometown to study of it?

"You don't have to worry about that. Anyway, I'm free. If I miss you, I can just bring your dad to visit you and take a vacation. Anyway, your brother is gradually taking over the company now, and your dad is not busy." Zhang Siqing said disapprovingly.

"Okay, then I've been in college for the past few years, you should come and see me more often. It is said that foreign universities are easy to enter and difficult to exit. I guess I will be very busy with studying, so I won't have to run around!"

Gu Zhiran's casual words really came true in the end. It was not until she graduated from graduate school that she returned to the embrace of the motherland for the first time.

………

The bright summer sun shines through the glass wall of the airport and shoots directly into the spacious and bright waiting hall. The figures of the endless stream of passengers walking back and forth hit the polished floor, like a ghost in deep water. The fish swim freely.

Standing in front of the luggage conveyor belt is a 1.68 meter tall, long-haired beauty in loafers, wearing a loose T-shirt and light-colored skinny jeans. Smart big eyes, a tall nose, delicate red lips, long and straight black hair reaching to the waist.

Finally seeing his small pink suitcase, he leaned over and lifted it out with ease. Gu Zhiran only intends to stay in the country for a few days this time, if it wasn't for her cousin Gu Beiyi's big wedding, she would have been asked to come back as a bridesmaid, it is estimated that the date of her return to the embrace of the motherland is far away.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to come back, it’s just that during these years in the UK, she has been very busy with schoolwork, and there are no holidays in traditional Chinese festivals, and there are only Western holidays such as Christmas, so she is too lazy to come back. Coupled with the fact that her father and mother usually went to live in the UK for a month and a half when they had nothing to do, she didn't feel so strongly homesick, and as time passed, she felt that the need to come back was not so strong.

It's said that being close to home is not enough. Before Gu Zhiran returned to China, he also faintly felt the same way. How to put it, it was because of a failed relationship that he fled to England thousands of miles away. Uh... no, it should be a failure of unrequited love.

When she returned to City G again, she found that she suddenly became enlightened, and the previously suppressed emotions were completely gone. Sure enough, time is the best medicine, which can heal all the pain.

One day before she came back, she called Zhang Siqing. Zhang Siqing said she would come to pick her up at that time, but she was determined not to let anyone pick her up considering that the flight was not on time.

"Gu Zhiran?" A male voice sounded behind him, his tone full of uncertainty.

When she turned around, she saw a man who was 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white casual polo shirt, dark blue trousers, and peas shoes, standing not far away with sunglasses.

The moment she turned around, he had already taken off his sunglasses, and walked towards her with surprise on his face.

"Zhiran, is it really you? Do you still recognize me?" The man walked up to her, and pointed to his face with the hand holding the sunglasses.

Gu Zhiran was taken aback for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "Zhou Jin, long time no see!"

"Hehehe... It's been a long time. I haven't seen you since the graduation dinner. How are you doing these years? You've lost a lot of weight and are so beautiful now. I almost didn't recognize you!" Zhou Jin is from Gu Zhiran's high school class. The squad leader is a sunny and enthusiastic big boy. I haven't seen him for so many years, but his personality has not changed, but he looks a little more mature than before.

"You mean I was ugly before?" Gu Zhiran joked.

"...No...I definitely didn't mean that, what I mean is that you are getting more and more beautiful now!" Zhou Jin waved his hands again and again, explaining.

Actually, it's not Zhou Jin's fault. When studying, both men and women wear a loose school uniform, with short hair that reaches the ears, and only read sage books with all their heart, and don't take care of their appearance. In addition, Gu Zhiran was a little chubby in high school, and in this world where thinness is considered beautiful, Gu Zhiran, a beauty, was ignored.

Seeing Zhou Jin's nervous look, Gu Zhiran couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zhou Jin knew that he was being tricked, but he was not annoyed, and enthusiastically said that he would send her home.

She wanted to refuse, but Zhou Jin had already pulled her luggage out the door, so she had no choice but to follow him.

As soon as Zhou Jin started the car, he asked her: "Are you okay later?"

It's almost six o'clock now, I guess Zhou Jin wants to have dinner with her, thinking that after taking a ride with her, Gu Zhiran also wants to invite him to dinner to thank her, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay."

"Okay, tonight, our high school reunion is having dinner at the International Hotel, and you come too!" Zhou Jin patted his thigh and said.

When it comes to class reunions, Gu Zhiran instinctively refuses. All these years, she hasn't contacted any of her high school classmates. It's a bit embarrassing now. Moreover, that person will be there by then, so she doesn't even want to go. Although so many years have passed, the unrequited love that failed miserably when I was young is still a bit difficult to face.

She was about to make up an excuse to refuse, when Zhou Jin's cell phone rang.

"Hey, Monkey!" Monkey is the pistachio in their class, and his name is Hou Jia. Everyone calls him Monkey, and he doesn't mind.

The monkey didn't know what to say, so Zhou Jin said: "Let me tell you, this party is the one with the largest number of participants in our class for so many years, except for a few female students who are confinement Everyone else is here except that there is no time. Also, Qiao Zhishen is not free to come tonight, but I brought a mysterious guest to attend, which is absolutely a surprise. In short, you have arranged everything for tonight!"

After being away for many years, when he heard the name Qiao Zhishen again, Gu Zhiran's heart that had been calm for a long time was still rippling, but it calmed down very quickly, as if it had never fluctuated at all.

After Zhou Jin hung up the phone, he told Gu Zhiran about the class reunion tonight. She listened quietly and occasionally responded a few words, because she knew that Qiao Zhishen would not be going tonight, and neither did she. declined to participate.

"Zhiran, haven't you met Qiao Zhishen in the United States all these years?" Zhou Jin asked suddenly.

"I went to the United Kingdom, not the United States. Why do you think I went to the United States?" Also, why did she say that if I were in the United States, I would meet Qiao Zhishen, but she didn't ask the latter sentence.

"What? You went to England. At that time, the teacher said that you asked her to send the college entrance examination report card to the United States. We all thought you went to the United States. Why did you end up in the United Kingdom?" Zhou Jin said a little excitedly.

"Oh... I was on vacation in the United States at that time, so I asked the teacher to send the report card to the United States. I went to study in the United Kingdom." Gu Zhiran felt that Zhou Jin's excitement was a bit...exaggerated, but he didn't ask further What.

"Then...someone...would have gone to America for nothing." Zhou Jin whispered to himself.

"What?" Gu Zhiran couldn't hear what he said.

"...It's nothing." Zhou Jin stopped the topic here.

The location of the classmate reunion is set in a private room of the International Hotel in G City. This hotel is newly built. When Gu Zhiran left, the hotel hadn't opened yet.

The interior decoration of the hotel is luxurious and stylish. It is a bit different from the general star hotels in China. It is full of European and American style, which makes Gu Zhiran feel familiar, as if he has returned to England.

The airport is far away from the city center, and it was during the rush hour for commuting. It was already 7:30 when the two of them arrived at the hotel. During the monkey period, they called twice, saying that everyone had arrived and only the two of them were missing. .

Before entering the box, Zhou Jin asked Gu Zhiran to stand behind her. He blocked her with his body, and then gently pushed open the door of the box.

"Squad leader, you are here!" Sensing the movement at the door, everyone looked at the door in unison, and many people greeted Zhou Jin.

"Report, I'm late, I'll punish myself with three cups later!" Zhou Jin raised his right hand and saluted, just like when he was studying, he stood at the door and reported to the teacher for being late.

Everyone was amused by his behavior, and the atmosphere was very lively. Even Gu Zhiran, who was hiding behind him, also laughed, letting out a crisp laugh.

"Squad leader, what beauty is hiding behind you, bring it out quickly!" Many students with sharp ears have heard someone laughing behind them.

Zhou Jin coughed lightly, and took a step to the right pretending to be serious. Just like that, Gu Zhiran met his classmate whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then shouted cheerfully, saying "Zhiran", and some enthusiastic students had already walked to the door and pulled her in.

Gu Zhiran, who is enjoying star-like treatment, is very moved. The group of classmates she met in her youth are one of the most precious and cherished things in her life. She regrets that she has been with them all these years. She has no contact with anyone, and she is too heartless.

The students greeted each other warmly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. At this time, Zhou Jin proposed to take a group photo first. Of course everyone supported and called a waiter to come in and take a photo for them. The female students stood in the front row, and the male students stood in the back row. Gu Zhiran was surrounded in the middle. When the flashing lights flashed, she smiled happily.

After the photo was taken, Zhou Jin ordered the waiter to serve the food, and everyone returned to their respective positions, ready to eat. Zhou Jin and Gu Zhiran arrived late, so they sat at the table near the window, because only that table had vacancies.

"I've put the group photo just now in the WeChat group, please pay attention to check it!" Monkey tapped his phone a few times and announced loudly.

Hearing that there were photos, everyone lowered their heads to look at the photos. Gu Zhiran looked at the pile of heads in front of him, and couldn't help but find it funny, everyone is bowing their heads now!

"Zhiran, what is your WeChat ID? I'll pull you into the group." Monkey asked.

Gu Zhiran reported her mobile phone number and asked the monkey to search her WeChat account.

The food will be served soon, it's already eight o'clock, everyone is hungry, you're welcome, let's eat!

Gu Zhiran was not too polite, he picked up the prawn in front of him and ate it. One is that I am hungry, and the other is that I have not eaten authentic hometown food for a long time. In the UK these years, Western food is what she eats the most. She doesn't like Western food very much, but there are not many Chinese restaurants there, and she doesn't have time to cook, so she can only give in.

Everyone chatted about their recent situation while eating, and after a while, everyone turned the topic to Gu Zhiran.

"Zhiran, how have you been in America these years?" the monkey asked.

It turned out that everyone thought she had gone to the United States. She was about to explain something, but the door of the box was pushed open.

When she looked up, her heart stopped for a moment...
