"One hundred meters ahead, drive left, and the gd map will continue to guide you..."
Liu Yuan turned the steering wheel slightly and turned the car to the left.
The Ginkgo Hotel is right in front.
Today...is the day of the high school reunion he organized. His former classmates will gather together again, which makes Liu Yuan feel quite emotional.
Among those who arrived today, three people must have attracted the most attention.
Those are Dong Xie, Lin Cheng and Qi Yuxuan.
In front of the Ginkgo Hotel, Liu Yuan parked his car, got out of the car, picked up his cell phone, and looked at his high school classmates.
He had recently gathered his classmates from high school to attend a class reunion marking the 10th anniversary of high school graduation. To his surprise, he had successfully gathered everyone into the group, without exception.
"I'm already in front of the hotel. Don't rush, you can take your time."
"Wow, the monitor arrived first!"
"Monitor Liu still has the same rigorous style as before!"
"No one should arrive earlier than the monitor, right?"
…
Under the guidance of the waiter, Liu Yuan walked into the hotel's large private room.
Looking at the high school reunion banner that had been hung, Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll ask you to serve the food when everyone is here."
He came to a seat and sat down, and took out a piece of paper. On it was the program list that he had discussed with Ye Xiao, the former deputy squad leader. Such as karaoke, impromptu sketches, truth or dare, lottery activities, etc.
...The prizes in the lottery were purchased by everyone. The prizes were brought by Roger, the original life committee member.
He was concentrating on looking at the program list when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Liu Yuan immediately raised his head and saw a tall man walking in.
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "You...Dong Xie, right?"
"Yes, it's me."
The tall man walked up quickly and held Liu Yuan's hand tightly: "Long time no see, monitor! You haven't changed at all!"
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay... you didn't wear glasses, I didn't even recognize you."
"After I went to college, I had myopia correction surgery and stopped wearing glasses."
"You look much more heroic without glasses."
After a few casual greetings, Liu Yuan said: "I didn't expect you to come so early, there are still two hours before the start! You are too little in the group, I was worried that you wouldn't come! Speaking of which...
…You’re a celebrity now too.”
“I would rather rely on my own works to become popular searches.”
"I have read your book "444 Building", especially the incident of the odd-numbered floor curse, because my family happens to live on an odd-numbered floor..."
When Dong Xie heard this, he subconsciously touched his head and said, "Actually, that volume was written based on the building where your family lives."
"..."
"You may also want to ask about...the authenticity of those things on hot searches."
"This is not important. This is your private matter. I'm not that gossipy. If you want to tell me, just tell me. If you don't want to, forget it." Liu Yuan could see that Dong Xie, who took the initiative to bring up this topic, looked a little embarrassed.
So a quick change of subject: "Why did you want to be a horror novelist?"
"In high school... when Lin Cheng and I were at the same table, we loved reading horror novels and movies, but later we found that it was hard to find truly scary stories. So we competed with each other, writing horror stories, and then seeing if we could do it.
Scare the other person."
"Is that so?" Liu Yuan recalled and said, "No wonder I remember seeing you and Liu Yuan often writing on the desk with pens. I thought you wanted to talk but were afraid of being overheard by the teacher."
When Liu Yuan was the squad leader in the past, Dong Xie and Lin Cheng were among his classmates who made a deep impression on him. The appearance of these two people seemed to be very incompatible. Dong Xie was tall and handsome, while Lin Cheng was shorter in appearance.
They are mediocre, but they have always been the scumbags with the lowest grades in the class, and they are also the targets of bullying from time to time.
Perhaps for this reason, the two of them felt sorry for each other and began to team up to deal with those who bullied them. Originally, Dong Xie's height was very intimidating, but once they started fighting, they found that he was a complete paper tiger and could not win even once.
.
Even so, if Lin Cheng was bullied, Dong Xie would definitely step forward and repeat the cycle of fighting, writing self-criticism, and fighting again.
"The short stories written by Lin Cheng can never compare to mine. Later, my thoughts became more and more intense... I started writing short horror novels when I was in high school."
"I see……"
Just like that, about an hour later...
People began to enter the box one after another.
"Squad leader... hmm? You... are? Dong Xie?"
This time two people came in.
Dong Xie looked at them, his expression suddenly turned cold.
Lu Jie, Song Chao.
In high school, these two were the two who bullied him and Lin Cheng the most in the class.
"You guys..." Dong Xie's eyes did not hide his hostility at all. Although it was more than ten years ago, how could the painful memories of his student days disappear so easily?
The main purpose of his coming here is to meet his old friend Lin Cheng. Otherwise, he would not come at all.
"Squad leader," Lu Jie came over and said, "You came here with Dong Xie?"
"No, we are almost there."
Lu Jie smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes, and said, "Squad leader, while there are few people, take one."
Dong Xie did not give any face to the two of them. Now he has long ago changed from social phobia to social arrogance. He pointed to the no-smoking sign on the wall and said, "Smoking is not allowed here."
Lu Jie looked a little ugly and said, "Then... forget it, I'll go out and smoke."
Song Chao on the side grabbed him and said: "Dong Xie, are you lenient enough? Your recent evaluation on the Internet is not very high."
"Those who are clean will be clean by themselves." Dong Xie didn't bother to talk to these two people. They hadn't seen each other for ten years, but they were still as annoying as ever.
"you……"
"Lu Jie! Long time no see!"
At this time, two more girls walked in outside the door.
Lu Jie immediately put on a smile and walked up.
Contrary to many people's common beliefs, Lu Jie is not a scumbag. On the contrary, his grades are considered to be in the middle and upper reaches. Song Chao has a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but Lu Jie is very good at being a person. He does not even need to do it himself when bullying others.
Back then... Lu Jie, like Lin Cheng, liked Qi Yuxuan, who was the school beauty. God still gave him a good body, which made him popular with girls in the class, but unfortunately he was not impressed at that time because he wanted to get into the SH city.
Qi Yuxuan went to a prestigious university. So, he vented his resentment on Lin Cheng, who was not even a love rival.
Lin Cheng's secret love for Qi Yuxuan is actually very obvious. Just like toothache, love cannot be hidden. Lin Cheng also knows that no matter his appearance or height, he cannot match the fair and beautiful Qi Yuxuan, so he does not dare to confess his love at all.
But Lu Jie did something unforgivable.
He imitated Qi Yuxuan's handwriting, wrote a love letter and stuffed it into Lin Cheng's desk. Then, Lin Cheng was so excited when he saw the love letter in class that he immediately wrote a reply. As a result, Lu Jie reported Lin Cheng for writing a love letter in class.
It was confiscated by the class teacher. The furious class teacher ordered Lin Cheng to read the love letter in class.
Dong Xie could never forget Lin Cheng's expression that day. Looking at his trembling body, he repeatedly begged the head teacher, but the latter was merciless and claimed that if Lin Cheng didn't dare to read, then she would do it!
Seeing that the head teacher was about to grab the love letter, Dong Xie immediately stood up, grabbed the love letter, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Teacher, this love letter actually belongs to me, but my writing skills are not as good as Lin Cheng's, so I asked him to write it for me!"
…
Dong Xie only found out later that Lu Jie had done this, and it was already the eve of graduation.
Dong Xie knew Lin Cheng well. If he had asked the class teacher to read out the love letter that day, he might have jumped out of the teacher's window.
Although Lin Cheng's life was still difficult after that, and Qi Yuxuan herself must have heard some rumors, but in the end... this layer of window paper has not been pierced, and both parties can still be classmates normally.
Not long ago, if it weren't for Lin Cheng's call, Dong Xie would never have thought that he and Qi Yuxuan actually got married when he followed Qi Yuxuan to City SH in the college entrance examination.
As more and more people entered the box, Dong Xie stared at the entrance of the box eagerly, waiting for the arrival of Lin Cheng and Qi Yuxuan.
During the extremely painful years when his family suffered major changes, his father and stepmother died in a car accident, apart from Ah Ning, it was Lin Cheng who accompanied him through the journey.
"Dong Xie," at this time, Song Chao sat next to Dong Xie and asked him: "Are you really living with your mother Ziyi?"
"Yes, so what? No...so what?"
"Oh," Song Chao looked at the entrance and said, "No wonder, she is quite beautiful. Did you really pay for her to appear in the "Kingdom of Evil" comic?"
"whatever you think."
"I also follow "The Kingdom of Evil"!" At this time, a girl came over and said: "I am an astronomical CP fan! What kind of ending is this!"
"I think this ending is good," Dong Xie said, "Good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded."
He remembered that this girl's name was Xie Wenyin, and she was Qi Yuxuan's good friend back then.
"What cartoons talk about good and evil is the most annoying thing for people like you who have three views... I heard that Gu Nanyi and Zhuo Yiyi will play Xiao Tianyi and Gu Wenyan."
Dong Xie frowned when he heard Gu Nanyi's name.
"I'll go out for a while."
Dong Xie walked out of the box, went outside, walked to a mirror, and lay down on it.
A voice came from the mirror behind him: "Your high school classmate hasn't come yet?"
"Yeah." Dong Xie turned his head slightly and looked at the mirror behind him. In it, the mother Ziyi appeared!
Of course, only you can see her.
"He is my best friend."
Dong Xie's hand covered the mirror, and the female Ziyi on the other side of the mirror also covered her palm.
"I will kill Gu Nanyi." Dong Xie said in a decisive tone: "Then, I will rescue you!"
"Dong Xie?"
Dong Xie was shocked and immediately turned his head to look ahead.
Not far away, a man and a woman walked side by side.
The man was short and had a slightly dark face, while the woman next to him had delicate facial features like a star and a figure comparable to a model.
