A shiny black Bentley parked steadily at the school gate. The uniformed driver came down and opened the rear door. A handsome middle-aged man got out of the car and stood at the starting point of the red carpet.
"Mr. Zhang!" A school leader in charge of the reception immediately came up to him and extended his hands to him with a smile on his face: "Welcome to your alma mater to participate in the 100th anniversary of Binhai Middle School!"
The middle-aged man shook hands with him reservedly and said with a smile, "This is my honor."
Several reporters rushed out from the side, pressing the shutter button desperately on the two people, and there were also cameramen taking pictures.
Two more primary school students wearing the uniforms of Binhai Primary School came over and presented flowers to the middle-aged man.
This Mr. Zhang, Zhang Longda, is considered a well-known alumnus of Binhai Middle School. He is a well-known big entrepreneur in Binhai and has founded a group company with assets of over one billion. It is reasonable for him to receive such grand courtesy.
Accompanied by school leaders, Zhang Longda stepped onto the red carpet and walked towards the signature wall, with reporters following and taking photos along the way.
Immediately afterwards, another Mercedes-Benz stopped.
This scene made Lu Chen feel like he was holding a movie or music award ceremony, which was a bit weird. But the current environment is like this. In order to increase their visibility, many schools often make a fuss about school celebrations and try their best to
Invite famous alumni to attend.
Those who can step onto the red carpet are naturally the top ones.
Lu Chen was among them. The school originally offered to provide special transportation, but he declined the offer.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen didn't join in the fun and walked in directly from the side door.
He had the invitation letter in hand, so he was able to pass through without any obstruction. Because he was wearing sunglasses, the officer in charge of the inspection did not recognize him and waved him through after a brief inspection.
The ceremony was held in the school auditorium, but it was still early. Lu Chen did not rush there, but walked around the campus.
I haven’t been back for many years, and the appearance of Binhai Middle School has not changed much. The statue of the girl in the fountain pool is still there, the thick sycamore tree is still full of writings, and the path leading to the laboratory building is still covered with leaves...
Today is Sunday, and there are very few students hanging around the campus. However, in a quiet corner, you can see students studying diligently. The familiar scene brought back bits and pieces of Lu Chen's memories.
Unknowingly, he came to the third teaching building and followed the stairs to the Class 5 classroom on the fourth floor.
The classroom door was ajar, Lu Chen opened it and walked in.
The classroom was quiet, the desks were neatly arranged, and there were no students around, except for a woman who was looking at the blackboard drawings.
She was wearing a plain white dress, with a tall and graceful figure, and her green silk hair hanging down her shoulders. She turned around when she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "Laoban?"
This beautiful woman was none other than Ban Beibei, the monitor of Lu Chen's high school. Although they hadn't seen her for seven or eight years and she had grown up and matured a lot, Lu Chen still recognized her at a glance.
Ban Beibei wrinkled her beautiful brows, showing a confused look.
Lu Chen took off his sunglasses and said with a smile, "It's me."
"Lu Chen!"
Ban Beibei suddenly showed a surprised smile: "Why did you come here?"
Lu Chen walked over and said with a smile: "I'm just counting my fingers. I knew you were here, Laoban, so I came here to find you. Are you touched?"
Ban Beibei pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I'm really touched. You are a big star now. I often hear your name in the UK and know how famous you are."
Lu Chen shook his head: "That's all false. How are you doing in the UK?"
After a long separation, there was naturally a lot of surprises and feelings. The relationship between the two was very good. Ban Beibei's father and Lu Chen's father were both friends in the shopping mall, and they even attended Lu Chen's father's funeral.
However, after graduating from high school, Ban Beibei's family immigrated to the UK, and she also studied at university in the UK. As a result, the two lost contact, but the friendship between classmates did not fade away with the passage of time.
Ban Beibei studied in the UK and got a master's degree. Now she works in a Fortune 500 company. This time she also received an invitation from the school and rushed back from the UK to attend the school anniversary.
"I also want to meet my old classmate. Xiao Lilong told me that I saw you last night..."
The two sat down to chat, and they were still sitting in the same seats as before. They were separated by an aisle. Ban Beibei's eyes were bright: "Are you coming to the class reunion tonight?"
Lu Chen said: "I will definitely come if I have time. I also want to meet Fang Jian, Zhao Lincheng, Li Yuan and the others..."
Ban Beibei teased: "I know you are a very busy person now and you don't even go to Feixin."
Lu Chen was ashamed: "I changed the flight signal, please add me."
After exchanging new flight signals, Ban Beibei asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you still have contact with Xiaoman?"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We haven't contacted each other for a long time..."
Ban Beibei seemed to be talking to herself and said: "She is doing well now. She opened her own company over there in the deep sea and heard that it is doing well..."
Lu Chen listened silently, but his thoughts flew back to his youthful years many years ago.
Gu Xiaoman was Ban Beibei's classmate and Lu Chen's first girlfriend. Their relationship was quite a sensation in Binhai Middle School at the time. Unfortunately, like most youthful loves, this beautiful relationship did not come to fruition.
Lu Chen still remembered that when he secretly dated Gu Xiaoman, he asked Ban Beibei to help cover it up.
Thinking back on it now, it really feels very different.
Lu Chen had no idea of regaining his old love. His heart was already filled with Filia Chen, but the memory of his first love was already engraved in his soul and he could not forget it for the rest of his life.
Now that I heard the news about Gu Xiaoman and knew that she was doing well, that was enough.
Lu Chen asked: "Old Ban, have you ever found a boyfriend in the UK?"
Ban Beibei smiled and said: "No, I don't like British boys, what? Do you want to introduce them to me?"
Lu Chen laughed dumbly: "I really don't have anything to recommend."
The two chatted and laughed, and talked about many past events, until someone else came to the classroom.
"Hey, you guys?"
The person who came was fifty or sixty years old, with gray temples and an old appearance. She was dressed simply, but when they saw her, Lu Chen and Ban Beibei stood up and shouted: "Teacher Kong!"
This was Lu Chen’s homeroom teacher back then, and he was also a Chinese teacher!
Teacher Kong looked at the two of them blankly, and after a moment he showed a look of surprise: "Lu Chen, Ban Beibei!"
Lu Chen and Ban Beibei smiled at each other and greeted each other: "Hello, Teacher Kong!"
At this moment, it seemed like I was back to the past again——
