My Dear Classmate Chapter 2: Relationship at the same table [2]
In the past six years, Gu Zhiran has imagined countless reunions between her and Qiao Zhishen. Did they meet again on the streets of a foreign country, or at a restaurant in City A, or at his wedding to Lin Tianlan...
It's not that I never thought about meeting him at the class reunion, but I thought he wouldn't show up, but now he showed up without warning, Gu Zhiran was still a little at a loss at this moment.
Qiao Zhishen was wearing a well-fitting tailor-made suit, neat short hair, and his eyes were as cold as before. Compared with the young green boy back then, he was more handsome and more aura. Gu Zhiran thought to herself, and after a while, she noticed that many students were walking towards the door, and she secretly scolded herself for being a nympho. What time is this, and he is still confused by his appearance, but now he is a man with a master.
"Mr. Qiao, didn't you say you don't have time to come over? Now that you are here, I'm a little flattered!" Zhou Jin joked as he walked towards the door.
In the past six years, Gu Zhiran had no news about Qiao Zhishen, or rather, she chose to avoid any news about him. She doesn't know how he has lived these six years, but she believes that with his ability, he should have a good life. Judging from his current dress, aura and everyone's reaction, he should be doing well.
He has always been a person with clear goals and good at achieving them. For his career, or for Lin Tianlan...
Gu Zhiran was still immersed in her own thoughts, she didn't even know that the chair next to her was pulled away, until the voice that she missed day and night rang in her ears: "Why are you in a daze? Long time no see!"
Did not call her name, as familiar as before.
Gu Zhiran looked at Qiao Zhishen with a look of astonishment, he was at a loss for words, and it took him a while to react, raised his smiling face and said, "Qiao Zhishen, long time no see!"
When Qiao Zhishen heard her words, he frowned almost imperceptibly. Qiao Zhishen, she used to call him Ah Shen Ah Shen, and that smile, that look in his eyes clearly made him feel alienated.
Gu Zhiran didn't know what was going on in Qiao Zhishen's mind at the moment, she just felt that he was sitting next to her with a calm expression on his face, but he was actually sitting on pins and needles.
Many students turn their attention to them. People are always gossips. The scandalous men and women who were studying in the past meet again six years later, which always gives people a lot of room for reverie.
In the past, everyone thought that Qiao Zhishen was a poor boy who came from a backward place to study in the provincial capital. Although he was pretty good-looking, except for his grades, he didn't attract everyone's attention, especially the attention of female students. Now she looks like a social elite, and many girls regret silently in their hearts. So now the look in Gu Zhiran's eyes has changed from the warmth and enthusiasm just now, to something different, with envy, jealousy, and disdain...
Gu Zhiran thought to himself, he is a man with a master, it is useless for you to look at me! She scolded Qiao Zhishen secretly in her heart, why did she choose to sit next to her when she didn't have so many seats, she didn't want to be the focus.
In order to reduce her sense of existence, Gu Zhiran stopped talking after greeting Qiao Zhishen. She began to bury her head in hard work, using her thoughts to reduce the oppressive feeling Qiao Zhishen felt next to her and those who could penetrate her. look.
A woman's jealousy is really a powerful product. She was treated like a spring breeze just now, but now it has become a cold October wind. The key point is that they got the wrong partner. She was shot while lying down!
Qiao Zhishen saw that Gu Zhiran was still the same foodie as before, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then began to chat with Zhou Jin and the others without saying a word, but his eyes sometimes turned to Gu Zhiran intentionally or unintentionally, and then slowly Take back slowly.
Actually, Gu Zhiran felt the scorching gaze beside him, but he always felt that he was thinking too much, why does he keep looking at her when he has nothing to do?
The dinner party finally came to an end after Gu Zhiran put his head down and ate hard. Some students suggested to sing K in the second half. Considering that many girls have already become mothers, they don't force it. The principle is voluntary.
Gu Zhiran definitely doesn't want to go. She has never been so eager to return home as she is now. She can't wait to fall into Ms. Zhang Siqing's arms immediately. But her suitcase is still in Zhou Jin's car, so she can only walk at the end and wait for others Ask him for a suitcase when it's almost gone, and then take a taxi home.
She moved forward at a slow pace, but unexpectedly someone was slower than her. Qiao Zhishen stood about one meter behind her, following her slowly, neither going beyond nor getting too close.
When the crowd was almost gone, Gu Zhiran quickly walked up to Zhou Jin and said, "Zhou Jin, I won't sing karaoke later, I'll go get your suitcase from your car now."
"Why don't you go? You came back after a long time. You must have a good time tonight. You won't go out for a walk and look down on us classmates!" Zhou Jin urged Gu Zhiran to be there.
"Where is it? I took a long-distance plane and I'm too tired. I want to go back to sleep." Gu Zhiran waved his hands again and again to clarify.
"Then what should I do? Now everyone is gone, no one will see you off, I don't worry about you being a girl at night." Zhou Jin never thought that Gu Zhiran would not go, if he knew, he would make arrangements not to sing K Classmates sent her.
"I'll see her off." A cold voice sounded from behind.
Gu Zhiran wanted to run away immediately, Qiao Zhishen, why do you keep holding on to me, I can no longer be friends with you as calmly as before, please let me go!
Before Gu Zhiran refused, Zhou Jin had already said: "Of course it's the best, but why don't you sing K? You don't need to bring children!"
"I took a long-distance flight, I'm too tired, I want to go back to sleep." Qiao Zhishen repeated Gu Zhiran's words, but Gu Zhiran thought it was intentional. Qiao Zhishen seemed cold, but he was actually a black-bellied man. Gu Zhiran was often tricked by him when he was studying.
Qiao Zhishen had already reached this point, and Zhou Jin was reluctant to let him go. He just looked back and forth between the two meaningfully, and then retracted calmly. He looked at Qiao Zhishen with a candid expression, without any guilt on his face.
Gu Zhiran was only thinking about how to reject Qiao Zhishen's kindness, but did not pay attention to the eye contact between the two men.
Qiao Zhishen and Zhou Jin walked in front, Gu Zhiran followed slowly, and the three of them walked towards the parking lot together.
Gu Zhiran really couldn't think of any good excuses, so he wanted to say that her family members came to pick her up, or that she had already called a taxi. But Qiao Zhishen was already one step ahead of her, and took her suitcase away from Zhou Jin's car, then turned around and said to her, "My car is parked in area B, go a little further, and follow me." Then without waiting She walked forward if she had any reaction.
Gu Zhiran watched her pink girly suitcase being taken as a "hostage" by a social elite in suits and leather shoes walking ahead, so she could only wave goodbye to Zhou Jin and follow her fate.
Zhou Jin looked at the backs of the two of them going away, smiled in relief, and then muttered: "The days to come may be exciting!"
After walking for about a minute, Gu Zhiran saw Qiao Zhishen take out the car key and press it, and then the lights of a black Cayenne flickered. It's just that she doesn't have time to praise him for his good looks. She will make one last effort to get the suitcase back from him, and then take a taxi and leave.
She walked quickly to Qiao Zhishen's side, then grabbed her suitcase, and said embarrassingly: "I've already ordered Didi Taxi, so I won't trouble you to take me back. You have been riding for a whole day The plane is also very tired."
Qiao Zhishen completely ignored her words, directly stuffed the suitcase into the trunk of the car, and turned to stare at her, her determined eyes made her feel a little faint.
"Don't you read the domestic news? You dare to take a Didi taxi?" Qiao Zhishen walked to the driver's seat after saying this. For no reason, Gu Zhiran felt that this person seemed to be hiding anger when he said this, and she seemed to be a fish in a pond who was hurt.
Gu Zhiran didn't dare to say no anymore, got into the car obediently, and wanted to sit in the co-pilot, so that Qiao Zhishen wouldn't be like the driver, but think about it carefully, if Lin Tianlan has a hobby of exclusive seats, Then she stepped on a minefield.
She opened the back seat tactfully and was about to get up when she heard Qiao Zhishen say: "Sit in the front." That tone was clearly an order from the superior to the subordinate.
Gu Zhiran muttered, but sat in front.
Gu Zhiran leaned against the window after getting in the car, and she instinctively felt that this way she could get farther away from Qiao Zhi.
In the quiet carriage, no one spoke. After a while, the car hadn't started yet. Gu Zhiran just turned his head to look at Qiao Zhishen, but saw his handsome face enlarged in front of his eyes. With such a close distance, they could clearly feel each other's breathing, but Gu Zhiran only felt that such almost seamless contact made her almost suffocate.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at Qiao Zhishen with a look of surprise on her face. After a while, she spit out a few words intermittently from between her teeth: "You...do...what..."
As soon as I finished saying these words, I heard a "click", followed by Qiao Zhishen's tone of lesson: "Although I am very confident in my driving skills, I must wear my seat belt. You can't guarantee other people's driving skills."
Gu Zhiran was too lazy to refute him, because the man's thin lips moved and closed in front of her face, and she felt that as long as she moved a little, her lips would stick to his lips.
Fortunately, Qiao Zhishen straightened his body after saying this, and the car started off as soon as he stepped on the gas pedal.
Gu Zhiran is so thankful that it is night, otherwise her flushed face must be fully displayed in front of him, and the little Jiujiu in her heart will not be discovered.
"Where do you live now?" Qiao Zhishen asked while driving.
"...Xinghe City..." It took a while for Gu Zhiran to react.
"Xinghe City..." Qiao Zhishen glanced at her thoughtfully. The guilty Gu Zhiran didn't know where to put his eyes, so he could only change the subject dryly: "Do you know the way? Actually, I I don’t know each other, my family just moved there in the last few months, and I haven’t been back there yet!”
After Gu Zhiran said this, he could only scratch his hair in embarrassment, and laughed dryly, "Hehehe...". All right! She admitted that she was weird and didn't know where her home was.
"I know it. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to go home, you just need to know how to go back to China!" Obviously, Qiao Zhishen felt resentful towards Gu Zhiran who left without saying goodbye and returned to China six years later. very heavy.
Before Gu Zhiran could say anything, Qiao Zhishen said again: "How did you say back then that you went abroad without saying hello?"
He still asked after all. In fact, the main reason why Gu Zhiran didn't want him to send her home was not because he didn't dare to face him, but because he was afraid that he would ask the reason why he left that year, and that reason could only become an eternal part of her heart. secret.
"My parents were anxious to let me go abroad to study, but I didn't really want to go. They were afraid that I would run away, so they sent me out in a hurry." Gu Zhiran could only "betray" his parents now. .
"In such a hurry that you don't even have a call or a message?" Qiao Zhishen obviously didn't buy her.
"After going abroad, the mobile phone was accidentally stolen, and then I lost my contact information." Gu Zhiran could only continue to edit.
"What about □□? You wouldn't tell me that I forgot the password and couldn't log in all the time. Let me tell you, Gu Zhiran, if you forget the password, you can still get it back!" Qiao Zhishen raised the volume unconsciously .
Gu Zhiran was yelled at inexplicably, and for reasons he couldn't explain, various emotions were mixed together, and his temper also came up, so he yelled back unceremoniously: "Why are you so fierce? What about foreign universities? Is it so easy to read? My grades are not bad in China, but it is very difficult to go abroad. I have to work hard to keep up with the progress of my studies, and there is no one to help me. How can I have time to go to school? "If you are not by my side, if I encounter something I don't understand, there will be no one to teach me!
Qiao Zhishen almost forgot that Gu Zhiran was a hot guy, and if he continued to argue with her, it was estimated that the hot guy was about to explode, so he calmed down his tone a little: "We used to be so close, why can we say that we won't contact each other if we don't get in touch?" ?”
"Everyone is moving forward, from doing nothing to being busy, even if we were close before, it's just because we were all free at that time!" Even though he knew how hurtful this sentence was, Gu Zhiran still said it .
