Chapter 3: A Class Reunion
999 Words
Zhang Tian's words caused some of his classmates who were close to him to laugh, as if this had become a topic of their after-dinner pastimes.
But when I heard that, I couldn't control it any more.
But before the fire in my heart was fully launched, Cheng Shasha suddenly said for me: "Zhang Tian, why do you always make such unqualified jokes? It was fine for you to joke when we were in school, but now that we're in our twenties, are you still ignorant?"
My previous goddess spoke for me, which moved my heart more than a little. And the anger in my heart was lowered.
Zhang Tian seemed to respect Cheng Shasha as well, so he stopped talking and everyone laughed it off.
After arriving at the box, Zhang Tian started yelling again: "Everybody, this is our fifth year of the reunion. You guys must enjoy yourself, and ...... the same old rules this year, my treat."
Everyone began to cheer again, but Cheng Shasha said let's go dutch. However, Zhang Tian was very conspicuous and said it was just a meal, but not enough to pay for his fuel for a race.
Everyone began to sit around the table. This kind of big round table had twenty-five seats, but today we came twenty-six. Everyone had sat down and left Zhang Tian alone still standing on the side.
Zhang Tian did not say anything, walked directly behind me and patted me on the shoulder, saying, "That who...... you get up and go sit on the side, I'll take your seat."
what? Why should I sit on the side? Do I have something special?
Before I spoke, Cheng Shasha said, "Why don't we add a seat?"
Zhang Tian waved his hand: "What to add? This is a five-star hotel. 25 seats for our 25 classmates is just right, just one more of Chen Dong. Let him go to the side to sit is already take to him."
Soon there were those students who were fawning over Zhang Tian standing up and saying, "That's right, Chen Dong, you have to be sensible. Go sit on the side, after all, today is Zhang Tian's treat. It's not good for you to do that."
My classmates were egging me on, and it was so hurtful and embarrassing. The feeling that of being beaten and despised in the past time had returned.
I laughed to myself, stood up and left my seat with my head down and said: "You guys have fun, it's just that I have something to do to leave first."
My classmates didn't care if I stayed or left. It was the same with me or without me, after all, they didn't even call me at their parties the first four years.
Just as I was about to walk out of the box, Cheng Shasha stood up and called out to me, "Chen Dong, stay! Let's just add a seat. Everybody just squeeze in a little bit."
"It's okay. Enjoy yourself!" I shook my head, intending to leave.
Cheng Shasha called out to me again, and then Zhang Tian echoed: "Why do you keep him? He's a spoilsport here, and I don't even have the stomach to see him, just let him go!"
Song Ying, that big-breasted girl, chimed in, "That's right, let him go. He's just a dispensable person. Shasha, don't keep him."
I laughed at the blank stares of so many of my classmates. It was a bitter laugh. I had thought five years was enough to change their impression of me, but not as much as it was!
I just never would have thought that the moment I was ready to leave the box, Cheng Shasha made an action that almost moved me to tears.
She even followed me and stood up, shouting at me, "Chen Dong you stay here, come sit with me. I'll go sit on the side."
I had no idea my goddess would make such a sacrifice for me! This moment made me not only trance but also want to cry. It seemed that I had not waited these five years in vain, the goddess was still the previous goddess.
After Cheng Shasha said that, everyone asked her why did she do that? Why was she so nice to Dong Chen?
Cheng Shasha said she asked me to come to today's class reunion, so even if they didn't give me face, just gave a little face to her!
After Cheng Shasha said that, Zhang Tian had to ask the waiter to add a seat. Because of Cheng Shasha's detain, I was too embarrassed to leave again. I didn't take Cheng Shasha's seat either, and sat myself on the single stool the waitress had just added, which was particularly awkward.
After they started to eat, they all laughed and chatted, but all they talked about was the house, car and money. I also kind of saw through that this group of classmates were still so materialistic. Especially this group of female, seeking who was rich enough to suck up to, seemed they could not wait to have a baby with him tonight.
The whole time I existed completely like air, although Cheng Shasha sometimes approached me for a few words, most of the time she was still chatting with other students.
When the meal was almost over Cheng Shasha said she needed to go to the bathroom. As soon as Cheng Shasha left the box, Zhang Tian left the box right after her.
They didn't come back for a full ten minutes, and I suddenly had a bad feeling about it, I immediately got up and left the box.
The hotel was huge, but I had been here so many times that I could find the way with my eyes closed. I searched the corridors of this floor first and didn't find Cheng Shasha or Zhang Tian.
Just as I was passing by the bathroom, I finally heard the voices of them......
