The voice from the phone is unforgettable for Song Song!
It’s practically a nightmare from her high school life. No! More precisely, it should be hell...
She remembers a period when she was excluded by all the girls in her class, except for Shang Tao.
Standing up to answer questions, she’d find her chair moved, and she would fall dizzy and dazed.
Going to the cafeteria, no matter how carefully she walked, someone would suddenly jump out and bump into her, covering her with food, rice, and soup.
In the dorm, clothes hung outside would often be thrown on the ground, covered in shoe prints.
Her desk would be filled with earthworms, toads, and even small green snakes.
...
In short, those times were so miserable that even eating instant noodles didn’t come with a flavor packet.
And the source of all this was the girl talking to her on the phone now, Lin Xiaowen.
Lin Xiaowen was the class beauty, adored by all the boys in the class, and even many girls would flatter and praise her excessively.
Her fashion sense was once a trend that many at school raced to imitate, and her looks were charming enough to win over countless boys.
Long hair cascading down her shoulders and bright, captivating eyes—that’s the kind of girl she was.
But just as she was about to make the leap from class beauty to school beauty, a little accident occurred.
Lin Xiaowen blamed Song Song for her failure and incited other classmates to exclude Song Song.
"Song Song, you should come, right? Rong City is not far from Qing City! It’s only two or three hours by high-speed train."
The gentle voice on the other end pulled Song Song back to reality from her memories.
Song Song awkwardly smiled, "I... I’ve got a lot of work, maybe I won’t go!"
She really didn’t want to go; it felt meaningless, and she wasn’t close to those classmates anyway.
Especially now, so many years have passed, and they are surely even less familiar.
"Song Song, you’re not still mad at me, are you? I know I was wrong before; if you’re willing to forgive me, you must come! We’re waiting for you!"
"If you don’t come, we won’t start the party!"
"..."
Song Song thought, isn’t this forcing her to go?
If she doesn’t go, won’t it be considered an even bigger offense...
"I..."
"Okay, okay! It’s settled then, don’t refuse anymore. Aren’t you a teacher? You shouldn’t be busy on weekends!"
"So that’s it for now, I have to notify other classmates, bye! We won’t leave until we see you this weekend!"
"Oh right, remember to bring your husband or boyfriend with you!"
"..."
After speaking, Lin Xiaowen immediately hung up the phone, not giving Song Song a chance to refuse.
Song Song’s mood had returned to normal, but unexpectedly, this occurred! Why do class reunions exist in this world?
Xiao Jinghuai saw her angry little face and asked, "Who was on the phone just now?"
"I... a classmate! They want me to attend a high school reunion this weekend."
Xiao Jinghuai furrowed his brow, "But your face looks like you’re going to a funeral, you don’t want to go?"
"Hmm, not really in the mood."
Song Song was a bit frustrated and anxious, "I don’t want to think about that now, I’d better go buy groceries! If it gets too late, there won’t be any fresh produce left."
"Okay."
Immediately, Song Song took the money and walked out, standing outside for a while, thinking about having to bring a husband or boyfriend?
Ugh! No way he’d go, what a joke!
Soon after Song Song left, Xiao Jinghuai made a call to Shang Tao, asking very directly.
"Was she bullied in high school?"
