Chapter 20: School Reunion

iedly stepped forward to help Zhang Meng up."This is all we should be doing, after all, we're all colleagues. Who knows, maybe there will be something in the future where we'll need your help!" Xiaoba...The next day, Wang Lin was, as expected, late. He went out and bought twenty yuan worth of buns, two for each colleague, which was their custom.

Today's forecast is for heavy rain, so everyone is hurrying to get things done and their work efficiency has increased considerably.

There's no way around it, express delivery isn't afraid of snow or hail, but it is afraid of rain. This is because rainwater can easily contaminate packages, and delivery speed would also be restricted.

After Wang Lin finished packing his car, just in case, he took a neatly folded rain cloth from the back seat and laid it flat on top of the car, securing all four corners.

When Wang Lin was putting the parcel in the delivery box, his phone rang. He took out his phone and answered, "Hello Who is this"

"Is this Wang Lin This is Song Zhe."

A young voice came through the phone. It was Song Zhe, Wang Lin's university classmate, though their relationship had never been good. His father was a well-known wealthy businessman, and he had always looked down on Wang Lin at school.

Although Wang Lin didn't usually interact with him, whenever he called for Wang Lin, it was never for good. So Wang Lin generally chose to ignore him. But the more Wang Lin did so, the worse he felt about his own image. Over time, a feud developed between them.

"What's the matter" Wang Lin asked calmly.

The person on the phone was silent for a moment. Song Zhe got angry every time he heard Wang Lin speak to him in such a flat tone. Because of his father, everyone else treated him with respect and deference. Only Wang Lin always ignored him, even speaking to him in a nonchalant manner.

Wang Lin didn't know how he got his phone number. Not many people knew his current number.

"Well, well, I like you just the way you are. Tonight's the classmate reunion at Nightclub, don't tell me you don't have time to come." Song Zhe's voice sounded sarcastic.

Every time Wang Lin heard this sound, he had the urge to beat Song Zhe up. However, he couldn't afford to provoke Song Zhe, so he endured it every time.

"Why should I go" Wang Lin continued calmly.

"Oh It's been over two years, has a poor kid like you become so tough-talking I didn't want to look for you, but there's no way around it. Wu Yuhang said he wanted you to come too, otherwise don't bother going."

Wu Yuhang was also Wang Lin's university classmate. During their university years, Wang Lin had a crush on her for three years, but because he was relatively inferior, he didn't dare to confess until graduation.

"Wow, what time" Upon hearing that it was Wu Yuhan who had asked Song Zhe to come, Wang Lin changed his mind. He hadn't seen her in years and wondered how she was doing.

"Hee hee, eight o'clock tonight, just go to Night Shade Bar, I'll be waiting for you~"

"Got it, no worries, I'll hang up," I said. Without waiting for Song Zhe to respond, I hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Song Zhe roared angrily, "Damn it, just a bumpkin, acting all high and mighty all day. I'll make you pay tonight!"

He looked at the people beside him, a playful smile on his face. "Get ready, today I'm going to give this country bumpkin a good thrashing!"

If Wang Lin were here, he would definitely recognize him. This is Li Yifei, Song Zhe's right-hand man during their university years.

Li Yifei also showed a playful smile. "Don't worry, I haven't seen this dog for a long time, and I want to welcome him very well."

Then I look forward to your performance.

Then, on Wang Lin's side, after he hung up the phone, he pondered for a moment, then found a number in his contacts and dialed it.

After a few rings, the phone connected. "Hey, Dalin! It's been ages! I miss you!"

This is Wang Lin's college roommate, Tong Zihao, who is Wang Lin's best college friend.

Wang Lin heard the voice and also laughed, "Get lost, go find your own target, I wouldn't dare to be what you think. My orientation is perfectly normal!"

"Oh come on, you're making me think too much! My orientation is totally normal, just relax!"

Stop beating around the bush, I need to talk to you. Did Song Zhe call you

"Did you get hit Did you hit him back That's not right, is it Everyone in class knows about your relationship. There's no way he would call you."

He said it was Wu Yuhang who told me to go.

"How is that possible I heard Wu Yuhang and Song Zhe are already together. There's no way she would intentionally send you there. It must be that Song Zhe wants to lure you in!"

Wang Lin heard the news, and his mind buzzed. He hadn't expected that the person he once liked the most would also be unable to resist the lure of money. He chuckled, "Is this human nature" At this moment, a wry smile spread across his face.

"No matter what Song Zhe wants to do, I will go," Wang Lin said firmly to Tong Zihao.

Well, this is the last time we'll see each other. Let's call it a period to our past.

Wang Lin finished his work for the day, changed into a clean set of clothes at home, and went to the Nightscape Bar.

At the door of a brightly lit bar, a simply dressed young man paused, looking at the huge sign above. The various colored lights shone on his face.

He entered this place he rarely visited with a mixture of trepidation and excitement.

Wang Lin looked around and saw familiar faces. They were dressed in brand names and chatting merrily.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a girl—his crush, Wu Yushan. By her side sat a well-dressed, wealthy classmate, Song Zhe.

Wang Lin's eyes revealed disappointment and pain. It turned out that everything was true. Looking at Wu Yuhan's current attire, one would think she was a hostess.

Society is truly a dye vat. In just two years, the once modest girl next door has vanished. The clarity in her eyes is gone, replaced only by an eagerness to please.

Li Yifei caught sight of someone entering the door out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and said, "Hey, Wang Lin is here. You're still dressed so poorly. It seems like you haven't been doing well these past two years. That's right, you were always a bumpkin from the countryside. What development could there possibly be Why don't you join me"

Li Yifei didn't hide the disdain in his eyes at all. He had never looked down on Wang Lin, so his sarcastic words were particularly loud, almost reaching the ears of everyone present.

Wang Lin kept a composed demeanor, chuckled lightly, and completely ignored Li Yifei.

Li Yifei saw Wang Lin ignoring him and roared, "Damn it! You think you're something! Dare to ignore me!"

As he spoke, he was about to step forward and deal with Wang Lin. The boy beside him, Tongzi Hao, immediately grabbed Li Yifei's arm and whispered, "Brother Fei, we are all classmates after all, just let it go."

Li Yifei shook off Tong Zihao's hand and turned to look at him, "What the hell are you, you deserve to call me Brother Fei Get lost!"

Hearing Li Yifei say that to him, Tong Zhihao also got angry, but he knew he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only smile awkwardly and run to Wang Lin's side.

"I told you not to come, but you insisted. They're obviously targeting you," Tong Zihao whispered to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin looked around and found that most of his classmates wore expressions of anticipation, only a few people from the same dormitory showed worried faces, but they dared not speak up for Wang Lin.

He sighed, is this reality For his own future, he chose to give up friendship, but Wang Lin didn't blame them, after all, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature.

If it were before, Wang Lin would have probably chosen to stay out of the way. But things are different now; he has awakened and is no longer on the same level as them. This has also brought back his long-lost confidence.

He looked at Li Yifei and, putting on an air of wisdom, said, “Do you know why you’ve always been a follower It’s because you like to bark. You have to remember that the dogs that bite don't bark; those are the good dogs. Ones like you… you can’t even guard the gate properly.”

Hearing these words, Li Yifei instantly became furious, his eyes blazing "You mother**er, say it again!"

Wang Lin pretended to be surprised and said sympathetically, "So your ears still don't work properly That's pitiful!"

At this moment, Li Yifei couldn't hold back any longer and was about to rush forward when Song Zhe's voice suddenly rang out, "Yifei, pay attention to your upbringing. You can't stoop to the level of these uncouth bumpkins. This will lower our standards."

Li Yifei heard these words and knew that Song Zhe still wanted to continue humiliating Wang Lin. He couldn't force Wang Lin away for now, so he wisely retreated and sat back down again.

Wang Lin saw this scene and burst into laughter. "Oh my, it's so obedient, what a good dog!"

Li Yifei was so angry that his fists clenched tightly, his whole body trembling. He grabbed the wine in front of him and drank it all down, then started chatting with the students beside him. As for Wang Lin's words, he pretended not to hear them.

Wang Lin saw Li Yifei like this and burst into laughter again.

After laughing for a while, they lost interest and just found a random spot to chat.l the time. Only the chirping of crickets intertwined continuously.Half an hour later, he sat helplessly on the ground, everything was normal. Could it be underground again"Lao Er! Lao Er!"Here it co...
