On the weekend, when Mu Qian came back from going out, she saw her son sitting on the sofa, seemingly watching real-time information on TV, but in fact, it was more like being in a daze.
Candy rubbed around his feet, but didn't get the slightest response from him.
Mu Qian walked forward, bent down to pick up the candy, and then sat down next to her son, "The weekend is such a great time, even my sister knows to ask her classmates out to play, why is my son, such a good young man, staying at home instead?
?”
Huo Qiran came back to her senses, reached out and touched the candy in her arms, and then said: "I have an appointment with my high school classmates for dinner tonight."
"Huh?" Mu Qian raised her eyebrows slightly, "A high school classmate? The one who is destined to have candy included in the package?"
Huo Qiran shook his head helplessly.
"Why?" Mu Qian asked, "Is it possible that you don't take other people to play because their family is in decline?"
Huo Qiran said: "I asked her and she said she didn't have time to participate. Although I know this is mostly an excuse, it's hard to say anything more."
"Oh." Mu Qian responded, "You asked her about the high school party, but what about the two of you?"
Huo Qiran slowly turned his head to look at Mu Qian, "What's going on between the two of us?"
Mu Qian held her head, laughed, and said: "You used to call people every night and tell stories for more than half an hour. This week, you were quiet every night and didn't make a single phone call...
…Isn’t this a big deal?”
"Because she is busy." Huo Qiran said, "She comes home very late every night."
"Oh." Mu Qian responded again and said, "To be so busy all of a sudden...it's quite normal, isn't it?"
Huo Qiran couldn't help but frown slightly and turned to look at Mu Qian, but Mu Qian had already lowered his head and was concentrating on petting the dog.
Seeing that the agreed time for the party had arrived, Huo Qiran couldn't help but think of something when he went back to his room to change clothes, and called Jing Li.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered, so he sent her another message: "When are you free?"
After sending the message, Huo Qiran changed her clothes and went out.
The venue for the high school reunion was a Japanese restaurant in a hotel in a bustling business district. About twenty people had booked the largest private room in the hotel. When Huo Qiran walked in, the place was already filled with laughter and laughter.
As soon as he entered the door, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively. Cheng Ling stretched out his hand and pulled him into the crowd, "Come on, come on, your high school male idol is here!"
The girls in the private room burst into laughter. One girl asked him: "Huo Qiran, why don't you bring your girlfriend out and show it to all of us?"
Before Huo Qiran could speak, Cheng Ling had already said, "Hey, I've already inquired about this for you. She's still single! So if you're interested, hurry up. There won't be this store after passing this village.
!”
Huo Qiran pushed him and scolded him with a smile: "I'm done with you, don't you have anything else to talk about?"
"I would like to talk about something else." Cheng Ling said, "Please ask us female classmates if we will agree!"
While they were talking and laughing, Huo Qiran's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw Jing Li's reply: "I must be very busy these days, what can I do?"
Huo Qiran looked at the time and guessed that she should be eating at the moment, so she replied: "I bought a gift for Xi Xi and I want to give it to her. I'll see when it's convenient for you."
This message was sent, but no reply was received for a long time. Huo Qiran looked at his phone from time to time, but there was no new message in the dialog box.
"Whose news are you waiting for?" Cheng Ling sat next to him and stretched out his hand to grab him, "You dare to say that you are single, Huo Qiran, are you being dishonest?"
Huo Qiran couldn't help but patted him. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the private room was suddenly opened. Immediately afterwards, Meng Lin, who had arrived late, appeared at the door and shouted to the people in the private room: "Guess who I took?"
Did you bring it?"
Everyone looked at the door curiously, and the next moment, they saw Meng Lin pulling someone out from behind.
Huo Qiran was suddenly stunned.
Jing Li was wearing a blue uniform, revealing her slender waist and snow-white slender legs. She appeared behind Meng Lin. Her eyes quickly passed over Huo Qiran. She looked at the familiar and unfamiliar people in the private room and smiled.
Then he said hello: "Hi, everyone... I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Jing Li!" Someone soon recognized her, "It's been a long time since I last saw you!"
"Yes, we were talking about you before, but we couldn't find your contact information."
"That's right!" Meng Lin said, "I took a taxi from the business district and saw her sitting in a small alley. Do you think it was a coincidence?"
Jing Li laughed helplessly, and couldn't help but glance at Huo Qiran again.
Some things are just such a coincidence.
She was sitting in the alley, eating her lunch box for dinner, and staring at the message he sent. When she was still hesitating on how to reply, she was suddenly recognized by Meng Lin who was passing by, and then she was pulled here.
.
"Jing Li, are you..." A girl looked at Jing Li's clothes and asked, "Are you experiencing life here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the uniform Jing Li was wearing again.
"No." Jing Li smiled softly and responded gracefully, "I'm working here today. There was a store in the mall here recently doing promotional activities. I was responsible for handing out some flyers, small gifts and the like."
After the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the private room for a moment.
In their high school, all the people who could get into their high school were from unusual backgrounds. Most of them went abroad after graduating from high school, so it was rare to have so many people gathered together this time. Although everyone had mentioned Jing during the discussion in the group
The Li family went bankrupt, but seeing one of my former high school classmates doing this kind of work had a big impact on some people present.
Among the group of silent people, only Huo Qiran stood up quickly. After looking at Jingli, he handed his coat to her, "The air conditioner in the private room is a bit low. Please put it on."
"No, no, no," Jing Li pushed his clothes back and said, "I heard Meng Lin say that everyone was gathering here for dinner, so I came to say hello. I have to go to work soon, so I can't be with everyone.
Sit down, you guys are having fun."
After hearing this, Cheng Ling frowned slightly and came forward and said, "You still have to go to work? Don't go. It's rare for everyone to get together and have fun for a while! What kind of store is that?
, just say it and I’ll tell the boss that you’re going to get off work early today.”
Jing Li just smiled and said nothing after hearing this.
