Chapter 362: Alumni Reunion
open your eyes and take a good look."Saying that, Xu Zhuening gently rubbed the cotton pad soaked in makeup remover on her eyebrows.In just a moment, Xu Zhuening's originally thick and exaggerated eye...Cheng Kexin has been feeling very agitated lately.
It's all because of this guy, He Yue.
This guy clearly said he gave up on his plan with Cheng Ruor, but he still calls himself every other day and asks her out frequently, with all sorts of excuses.
Today, my friend's new restaurant opened and I got a free meal coupon that I can't waste; tomorrow is his mother's birthday and I don't know what to give her, so I asked him to help me choose a gift; the day after tomorrow, I have a friend's gathering but can't find a date...
Is he just unlucky in love
Over time, Cheng Kexin also realized there was a problem. She secretly wondered if she had sent him the wrong signals, leading him to misunderstand their relationship
Later, Cheng Ke Xin resolutely stopped going out with He Yue. She didn't have any extra thoughts for him, so it was best not to let him misunderstand. However, He Yue was persistent and kept calling her.
Buzzing.
Hearing the vibration of her phone beside her, Cheng Ke Xin impatiently turned her head away, ignoring it. Her two beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.
Buzz buzz buzz.
After a while, the phone vibrated again.
"Are you kidding me!" Cheng Ke Xin snatched her phone. "Didn't I just tell you I don't have time If I'm not going, I'm not going. Do you even understand"
"What's wrong with you, getting so angry I haven't even said anything yet, and you're leaving"
To my surprise, the voice on the other end of the line wasn't He Yue, but a very familiar female voice—his college classmate and close friend, Xiao Mi.
"I'm so sorry, Xiaomi, I'm really sorry," Cheng Keixin hurriedly apologized. "I didn't know it was you, I thought it was... I'm truly sorry."
"Alright, I don't even know you yet. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart." Xiaomi joked with a smile, "But I wonder which god or goddess is so blind, making our usually well-behaved Ke Xin classmate so angry"
"A very annoying person," Cheng Ke Xin said, sounding resentful. "Don't even mention him. Is there something you need from me"
"It's from the student journalist group we were in back when we were in college. Our graduating class wants to have a reunion, so I wanted to ask if you have time to come"
"Well then..." Cheng Ke Xin was a bit conflicted.
When she first went to university, she got along well with the members of the club. However, after Lin Xiaoru falsely accused her of being a nightclub hostess, everyone started gossiping about her behind her back and was unwilling to associate with her anymore. She also quit the press team because she couldn't bear the strange looks from others.
Until now, she can't forget the mockery in her classmates' eyes, the contempt on their faces. It is a pain she will never forget in her heart.
"Xiaomi, you know I don't have a good relationship with them, so I won't go. I'm not really looking forward to seeing them."
"Oh, it's nothing. Now everyone knows you were wronged back then, they all want to apologize to you in person. Just come! Even if you don't want to see them, what about me Don't you even want to see me Come on, how long has it been since we last saw each other!"
Mi's tone was coquettish yet tinged with reproach. As close friends for many years, Cheng Keqin simply couldn't refuse.
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Just promise me you'll be by my side then. I'm afraid I'd feel awkward facing them alone."
"No problem!" The voice on the phone was very cheerful, "I guarantee I'll be by your side every step of the way."
Thinking of Xiaomi's playful expression on her face at this moment, Cheng Ke Xin also smiled.
After confirming the time and place of the gathering, Cheng Ke Xin chatted with Xiaomi about everything under the sky. Good girlfriends always have endless topics to discuss, from life abroad to children, to heartfelt exchanges between mothers... They talked for over two hours before reluctantly hanging up.
The next day, Cheng Kexin arrived at the meeting place on time. It was the Jinjiang Hotel, right next to their university.
I called Xiao Mi in the hotel lobby, and soon Cheng Kexin saw a pretty figure in a red dress running down from the second floor.
Upon seeing Cheng Keixin, Xiao Mi immediately gave her a big bear hug, "Keixin, I missed you so much!"
Cheng Kexin also hugged her tightly with tears in her eyes.
Leaving Cheng Kexin's embrace with teary eyes, Xiao Mi cried and laughed, "Everyone says that American food is junk, but how did you get so beautiful I almost didn't recognize you. You didn't tell me the truth, did you Did you actually go to Korea"
"Pfft!" Cheng Kexin couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Mi's words. She wiped away Xiao Mi's tears and said, "Okay, don't worry about where I'm going yet. Everyone is still waiting for us upstairs. Let's go up quickly."
"Okay," she nodded in response, and Xiao Mi happily dragged Cheng Ke Xin upstairs to the private room.
As soon as she entered the room, Cheng Ke Xin captured everyone's attention.
Everyone stared at her, their eyes filled with disbelief. This elegant and cold beauty, with impeccable looks and charisma, could she really be the Su Ke Xin who was only considered pretty back then
"Well, speechless seeing a beauty"
Seeing the amazement in everyone's eyes, Xiaomi also felt a sense of pride. However, she didn't ignore Cheng Keixin's discomfort from being watched by everyone, so she quickly smiled and diverted everyone's attention.
Everyone came back to their senses when they heard Xiao Mi's name, and they all laughed as they greeted Cheng Ke Xin.
"Su Ke Xin, it's been so long! You've really blossomed into a beautiful woman now."
"Yeah, you totally stunned me just now. For a moment, I didn't even recognize you! It seems the saying 'girls change dramatically after they turn 18' is true."
Ke Xin, I heard you're now the young mistress of the Cheng Group. Congratulations! Hope we can look out for each other in the future.
"Of course not, Keixin wouldn't be someone who doesn't cherish old feelings!"
Now Cheng Ke-xin is more graceful than before, so she handles herself with ease. For a time, everyone looked at this old classmate who hadn't been seen for many years with admiration.
But some female classmates looked down on Cheng Ke Xin, whispering with contempt in the corner: “She’s just lucky, a sparrow that has flown onto a branch and become a phoenix. What’s there to be proud of”
"Look at her, she's all dressed up, trying to act like a big shot in front of our old classmates. What kind of nonsense is she pulling Everyone knows about the things she did back then." Someone whispered in agreement.
Although there were some discordant voices, the room was still filled with a lively and festive atmosphere. Cheng Kexin behaved very gracefully and appropriately.
But at this moment, the appearance of one person made her heart a little chaotic.
"Hey, senior! I didn't expect you to come either, it's been ages!"
Cheng Keixin looked up and saw a familiar yet strange face, stunned for a moment. downstairs to buy breakfast, what do you want" she replied casually.Xiao Tang's expression was tinged with hesitation, and she spoke in a rather embarrassed tone: "How about you rest for a while long...
