Chapter 403 I was still pulling my pants pockets in high school
"That's right, Fang Li doesn't want to talk about it. Relationships are private matters, why should outsiders pry?"
"Some people really have no sense of propriety. They want to know everything. Did they move to the seaside to live? Why are they so nosy!"
"Hey, you...you guys!"
The man was annoyed and glared at them angrily: "I was asking Xu Fangli, not you guys, why are you all so agitated!"
"You know you're asking Fang Li, so she has the right not to answer. I really don't know what this has to do with you! Let whoever wants to know ask. Are you jumping around showing off how eloquent you are, or are you afraid we'll forget that you were still using your pants in high school!"
In short, the man's face turned ashen, and he was mortified.
"Mao Jiayue, what... what nonsense are you talking about! I, when did I...?"
Although Mao Jiayue is not married, she already has a boyfriend.
He came tonight too, and sat next to her.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, her boyfriend subtly tugged at her under the table, signaling her to say less. Instead, she slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and stared at him, saying:
"Huang Pengde, how old are you? How come you have amnesia? Ask everyone here if they remember such a memorable event. How could you forget it?"
"you......!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?! You're so knowledgeable about others, but when it comes to your own affairs, you become mute?!"
"I......!"
"What do you mean, 'what ...?' It's been so many years, we're still classmates, you'd really mind if we just said a few words by the water?'"
Mao Jiayue used Huang Pengde's own words to shut him up. Huang Pengde stood there, his face turning red, unable to utter a word for a long time.
"All right!"
At this moment, Wang Wenbin finally spoke.
As a teacher, even though many years have passed, people still have to give him some face.
"Class reunions are for reminiscing about youth and strengthening relationships. At the very least, you are all leaders in your respective fields now. It's good to chat about work and exchange resources. Why do you have to nitpick over those trivial matters?"
Huang Pengde looked grim. He sat silently for a while, then suddenly got up and left.
I don't know if she left or went to the restroom to process her emotions.
But only a few people glanced at him when he went out; the others didn't pay any attention at all.
Wang Wenbin: "Fang Li, some classmates are just like that, they don't think before they speak, don't mind them."
Fang Li and Han Xi continued eating.
The food at this hotel is pretty good, especially the local Shanghainese dishes, which are quite well-prepared.
The two of them didn't eat much at home that night. They hadn't been listening to the argument earlier; they were just focused on filling their stomachs.
Hearing Wang Wenbin speak to her, Fang Li had almost finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and looked up.
He glanced indifferently at the person opposite him, a slight smile playing on his lips, but said nothing.
"Fang Li, do you still remember me?"
Fang Li heard Mao Jiayue's righteous words just now.
Mao Jiayue came over with a wine glass and stood next to her, saying, "We sat next to each other in high school, just across the aisle. You explained a lot of problems to me back then."
Fang Li also stood up and smiled at her, "I know, you treated me to a meal at the cafeteria before, but I haven't had a chance to reciprocate."
At that time, most students lived on campus, and only a small number chose to commute.
Especially as the college entrance examination approached, families arranged for their children to live at school so that they could focus on their studies and avoid the hassle of commuting. Fang Li was the only student in her class who commute from school.
That's why everyone guessed that she came from a poor family and no one cared about her.
Fang Li's parents do indeed live abroad year-round, and deep down she feels that she is no different from a left-behind child, so she is too lazy to explain and lets them say what they want.
I never expected that after all these years, those who talked about her back then still haven't grown up and are still so naive.
Mao Jiayue was pleasantly surprised, "You really remember! I thought you had long forgotten me after all these years."
"How could I forget? We're all classmates."
Mao Jiayue was delighted, but then her face darkened: "Oh right, that Huang Pengde is just like that, don't pay him any attention, and also..."
As she spoke, she leaned closer and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "This gathering was orchestrated by him and Lin Miao. He's an idiot. I think he was just asking those questions on behalf of Lin Miao."
Lin Miao?
Seeing Fang Li frown, Mao Jiayue suddenly realized.
"You don't know that Lin Miao likes Song Yuchen, do you?"
Fang Li was even more surprised.
Does Lin Miao like Song Yuchen?
Back in high school, why would she deliberately smear her and Song Yuchen's reputation? There was clearly nothing between them, yet she went around spreading rumors that they were dating!
Fang Li pondered for a moment, then understood.
I see.
"Back then, you and Song Yuchen were deskmates and close friends. She liked to hang around behind you all the time. I also heard that she applied to universities in Hangzhou when she applied for college. You haven't seen her since?"
Fang Li frowned. She had actually applied to a university in Hangzhou?
Just for Song Yuchen?
To be honest, I've never seen it even once.
No wonder she publicized her relationship with Song Yuchen back then; it turned out she did it to the opposite of what she intended.
She realized that Song Yuchen had no romantic feelings for her at the time, so she deliberately used the guise of early romance to make Song Yuchen dislike her and gradually avoid her like the plague.
Furthermore, the affiliated high school has always been very strict about students dating early.
She deliberately spreads rumors everywhere, probably to tarnish her image in the eyes of her teachers.
Fang Li sighed softly in her heart.
They were so young back then. Lin Miao was just a teenager, yet she had such a vicious mind.
All this trouble and deliberation, all for Song Yuchen!
"Thank you for telling me all this. I'll treat you to a meal after the party, as a way of repaying you for treating me to meals in the cafeteria back then."
"That's such a small thing, there's no need for that."
"Not just that, but tonight too."
Fang Li's eyes showed a slight seriousness. "Thank you for helping me out tonight."
Mao Jiayue was a little embarrassed. Holding her wine glass, she wanted to say something, but Fang Li smiled and whispered, "Alright, you should go back now. We still have a chance to talk. I think your boyfriend seems to be getting impatient."
Mao Jiayue turned around and, sure enough, saw that her boyfriend's expression wasn't good.
She smiled apologetically at Fang Li, nodded to Han Xi beside her, and then ran back.
"We agreed to come over for dinner, why are you talking so much!"
"We're all classmates. Those people went too far. I was just saying a few words in support of Fang Li."
"So many people are silent, why are you being so nosy? You're just making trouble for no reason."
"I......."
