“Why are you the only one here?” Liuli inquired as she walked over.

“They’ve all gone inside. I’m the sole person waiting for you here, and I’m freezing!”

“To me, you’re still the best!” Liuli smiled and grasped Lin Jingqi’s hand. “Are there many classmates around?”

“Basically, everyone who came back is here!”

“That’s great! Let’s quickly go inside. It’s so cold!” Liuli replied.

As they were about to enter the Sichuan Restaurant, Liuli caught a glimpse of Mr. Tang’s car slowly driving over.

She promptly pretended not to see it and held Lin Jingqi’s arm as they made their way into the restaurant.

As soon as she stepped inside, she felt warmth enveloping her.

“We’re seated on the second floor!” Lin Jingqi informed her.

“Wait, who are you giving the money to?” Liuli asked.

“The labor committee member!”

“Who’s the labor committee member? Oh, it’s Huang Hong. 1 almost forgot.” Liuli quickly recalled.

After the two of them ascended to the second floor,

Everyone greeted them.

“Liuli, Jingqi, come over here.”

“We only need two more!”

“Haha, looks like we’re quite popular. Let’s have a little competition. Whoever wins will get Jingqi and me!” Liuli chuckled.

“Then you and Jingqi can go to table 5!” someone replied.

Then, everyone burst into laughter.

“Table 5, which table is it?” Liuli asked, looking puzzled.

After scanning the room, he realized that Table 5 was occupied by male students!

“Come on, come on!” Liang Lidong responded with a smile.

“Dream on!” Liuli replied bluntly, then pulled Lin Jingqi to sit at a table near the girls.

“Take attendance and shout when you arrive!” The class monitor said cheerfully, standing in front with the name list.

“Why does it feel like we’re back in school? There’s even roll call!” someone murmured.

The room filled with laughter.

Once the class monitor finished the count, everyone was mostly present, except for a few who hadn’t returned to school.

Shi Shi didn’t show up either. Everyone knew she had only gotten married a few days ago.

Liuli had also heard from Lin Jingqi that on Shi Shi’s wedding day, not many students attended. Most of the attendees were class representatives and a few close classmates.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s serve the dishes! Enjoy your meal to the fullest. We won’t leave until we’re completely satisfied.”

“And at the same time, I wish you all a fantastic New Year. May the men become more handsome, and the women even more beautiful!”

“Class Rep, what’s your wish?” someone asked.

“Not much, just hoping to bask in the glory and become even prettier,” the class monitor replied while touching his face.

Laughter echoed through the room once again.

It was time for the food to be served.

Naturally, everyone engaged in conversation while enjoying the meal.

“Liuli, 1 thought you hadn’t arrived yet. Your phone was switched off!” Yang Xue remarked.

“Really? I’ve already turned on my phone!” Liuli responded, sounding perplexed.

“She must have been calling your old number!” Lin Jingqi chimed in with a smile.

“Oh, that explains it. After I arrived, I switched to a local SIM card.”

“I even sent a group message to inform everyone. Didn’t you receive it?”

“No, 1 think I must have changed my number too. And you changed yours as well. That’s why we didn’t receive each other’s messages!”

“Haha, that’s quite likely!” Liuli replied, smiling.

“Liuli, how’s your university?” someone asked.

“It’s going well!”

“How did your final exams go?”

“Don’t even mention it. It’s a sore spot for me. I scored 59 in English!”

“No way! You were always good at English!”

“Well, as our Miss King used to say, we can have all the fun we want in university, right?”

“I went a bit too far and only crammed at the last minute, relying on divine intervention during the exam. In the end, 1 failed the English test.”

“Seems like your university sets challenging questions. 1 only started studying in the last week. I was barely skimming the surface.”

Everyone discussed their university experiences one by one.

Eventually, the conversation naturally turned to relationships, and someone asked if Liuli had a boyfriend.

At that moment, Liuli was taking a bite of fish and nearly choked.

She couldn’t speak, only gesturing with her hand to indicate that she didn’t have one yet.

Indeed, she was married, but she had never been in a romantic relationship or had a boyfriend!

“Liuli, do you have a boyfriend?” someone asked in surprise.

“No way, I don’t!” Liuli panicked and exclaimed.

“Then why did you raise your hand?” the classmate laughed.

“I was just waving my hand to say that 1 don’t!” Liuli’s eyes welled up with tears.

“It’s okay. We have a few couples in our class!” someone said with a smile.

“Who? Who are they?” Liuli asked immediately, filled with curiosity.

Although there were a few adorable pairs in their third year of high school,

At that time, they were busy with studies and the teachers were strict.

No one wanted to attract attention.

Even if they were in a relationship, they kept it secret. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“Jingqi, are you the first one to confess?”

“When did I do that?” Lin Jingqi’s head was already lowered, but now she blushed.

“Don’t tell me it was you!”

“It was you!”

“Class monitor, your wife is being bullied,” someone interrupted.

“Who? Who bullied her!” The class monitor immediately stood up and craned his neck to ask.

The room erupted in laughter..
