Chapter 1377 - 906: Flashing onto This Spot
"No, whose dog is missing?" Li Hua couldn’t hold it in and spat a mouthful of mineral water onto the sand.
"It’s a fox." Tao Ran took off the headpiece, "Where’s Old Liu? I want to see his reaction."
Jiang Nian: "...."
Old Liu stepped down as director, well deserved. Suppressing students like Tao Ran for three years without any incidents.
It’s fair to say, he’s worthy of the title senior teacher.
"Chi Shi it is, am I still dreaming?" Li Hua walked over, "Is this even human anymore?"
"How are you going to eat barbecue later?" Liu Yang asked.
"Just take it off, I’m wearing clothes underneath." Tao Ran was nonchalant, then looked around again.
"Where’s Old Liu?"
"Class rep?" Little Bailin came over with a little girl, "What’s with your outfit?"
"Art."
"Chi Shi!!" Li Hua lost it again, then looked at Dong Que, "Little Bailin, you have a kid already?"
Dong Que: "..."
Where did this idiot come from?
"This is my niece, brought her over to play." Dong Que rolled his eyes, "Li Hua, I heard you have a girlfriend?"
"No... well, sort of." Li Hua felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head, "Who told you that?"
"Well, you just..."
Before Dong Que could finish, Zhou Yuting came, "Too lazy to talk to you, just move aside."
Li Hua: "???"
He looked over to the other side, and everyone was almost all looking at Zhou Yuting, buzzing with questions.
After all, she was one of the few in the class who repeated a year.
Li Hua thought for a moment and moved over towards Jiang Nian, "Hey, what school did Zhou Yuting get into?"
"Lu University." Jiang Nian was just preparing the barbecue, glanced at him, "If you’re free, come help."
"Alright."
Old Liu rode over on an electric scooter, coming alone. Just as he arrived at the riverbank, he saw his group of students.
Quite a few people showed up for the class reunion during the New Year, though not many places to eat and drink, Jiang Nian’s arrangement was rather unique.
"Only Jiang Nian could bring people together, must have filtered them," Old Liu muttered.
Stepping down to the riverbank.
"Teacher!!"
The crowd gradually came towards him. Among them, hmm... an unidentifiable thing.
"What is that?"
"Tao Ran."
Old Liu: "..."
Just then, Qingbao also arrived, newly onto the riverbank. She, too, got surrounded by students, chattering endlessly with questions.
Zhou Yuting originally wanted to see what Jiang Nian was doing, but a glance showed he was surrounded by boys.
She immediately gave up on that idea, planning to talk later.
The Class Three reunion was quite simple, mostly eating and drinking. Firstly, because there were few people, only a few close ones were invited.
Secondly, the teacher was also present.
Boys complained about school, girls gossiped. Jiang Nian was responsible for barbecue, wandering here and there, putting on airs.
Humility and low-profile weren’t his principles.
Everyone present was familiar, he mentioned Qingbao’s incident. Incidentally, he criticized Zhen Nan, receiving unanimous agreement.
"Seriously an idiot, how can there be such a person?"
"Teacher, if something like this happens again. Tell us, we’ll drag them out and give them a beating."
"Chi Shi, how did Zhen Nan become like this?"
"It’s always been like this."
"Maybe it’s the influence of short videos; kids mature early now. My cousin plays them all the time, posting mental videos."
Everyone chimed in, also comforting Qingbao.
"Ah..." Qingbao felt a bit awkward, "No need, no need, this probably won’t happen again in the future."
Even as she said it, a small part of her felt touched inside.
Jiang Nian stood to the side, chatting with Ma Guojun with a grin. He brought up the past, not genuinely furious.
Just laying the groundwork, should anything happen later, no matter who does it, any solution would be fine.
Midway through the reunion.
The group ate barbecue, talking about recent situations. Dong Que was studying in Chongqing, planning to work there too.
Talking about experiences, sights, and gossip.
Tao Ran had changed clothes, looking more normal. Among the buzzing discussion, he interjected.
"Did Jiang Nian start a company?"
"Yes."
"This filthy rich guy, really hit it big."
In an instant, the entire topic turned. All voices switched to criticizing Jiang Nian, and venting about this wealthy guy.
....
The reunion was nearing its end, and the atmosphere was great. Old Liu held a beer, drinking with a few guys, stopping only when half-drunk.
Jiang Nian didn’t drink; he had to drive.
In a spare moment, Little Bailin approached with a grin. She chatted a couple of sentences with Jiang Nian about recent events, then covered her mouth, chuckling.
"What about Zhizhi and the others?"
"They didn’t return to Zhen Nan."
"What about Chen Yunyun, she should’ve come back?" Little Bailin’s eyes laughed even more, hinting at something.
"How should I know?" Jiang Nian pretended not to understand, "Must be busy, isn’t it normal during the New Year’s?"
"Such a scumbag." Dong Que stuck out his tongue and ran off.
Jiang Nian leaned back tactically, thinking his reputation... shouldn’t be that bad, probably talking about Chen Yunyun.
After all, he still kept in touch with Zhizhi and them.
No matter.
Zhou Yuting also found a moment, subtly moving next to Jiang Nian, whispering a few words.
"Lu University is pretty good, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuting sincerely said, "Thank you for visiting me before the college entrance exams, I performed above expectations those few days."
"Really?" Jiang Nian chuckled dryly, thinking it was quite mystifying, "It’s nothing, we’re all classmates."
"No need to be so polite, just study well."
Zhou Yuting listened to the words as if coaxing a kid, her expression turning odd, wasn’t it supposed to be let’s stay in touch more?
What’s up with study well?
Yu Zhiyi, at a distance, was talking with Huang Fang. Occasionally glancing at Jiang Nian, quickly retracting her gaze.
"Give me a beef skewer." Liu Yang stepped forward, already a bit tipsy, "Why are there still two grills?"
"Drink some more, you can sleep here in the afternoon." Jiang Nian said helplessly.
