096: Old Classmates and Old Friends
Jinding Hotel specially provided venues or boxes for hosting banquets. Because the group of seniors in their third-year class had less than 60 people attending, they chose to have their party in a small box. If the box in this hotel was not reserved two or three months in advance, they would be unable to reserve it at all.
As soon as Wang Cheng entered the hotel, the waiter walked up to him. Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to the third-floor box 801. The waiter also thoughtfully helped him open the door of the box. Wang Cheng smiled and thanked her, and the waiter blushed slightly and left after saying a couple of words.
Because it was almost six o'clock, most of the classmates had arrived, and a few were people who only came to see specific classmates, including Wang Cheng. So as soon as someone entered the door, everyone's eyes couldn’t help but watch them.
"Wang Cheng!"
Wei Dandan had been watching the time, and talked to her friends absent-mindedly. Although Wang Cheng promised that he would come to participate, there was still no figure in sight when the time was up so she was anxious. She would immediately look up every time the door moved. After all, she had already assured the others that Wang Cheng would come to the class reunion. Wang Cheng could be considered a man of great character at Shanhai High School. Wei Dandan just called his name, so the box got quiet at once, and everyone's attention was focused on him. His familiar yet unfamiliar face really put them in a trance. After the past seven years, the childlike faces in their impression had now been replaced with real and fake masks.
Wang Cheng nodded his head towards her. At this moment, a man one or two centimeters shorter than him came towards him without saying a word, and punched him in the chest.
"Wang Cheng, you are a good boy. When you graduated from high school, you ran away without even contacting your brother. How dare you show up now? If I hadn’t heard that you would come this time, I wouldn’t be here.”
"I was afraid that you would blame me, so I hurried and rushed over. You’ve changed since we were 18 years old, I wouldn't recognize you if you didn't speak." Wang Cheng opened his arms and smiled at him; they hugged for a moment. The man was his classmate in high school, Tong Yangyang. At that time, Tong Yangyang was a big fat man. Together with a fat female classmate in the class, they were called ‘double fat’. After seven years, the big fat man became a thin man. He was tall and thin, looking much better than before.
"Look at you. I haven't seen you for seven years. You haven't changed at all, and you are even more handsome.” He just looked at him with admiration and envy. Wang Cheng was always very popular with girls during high school. Of course, because of his arrogance, he was also mixed up with the male classmates.
"I was born to be this beautiful."
"I’m vomiting."
"Haha ..."
"Your face hasn't changed at all, you can still say such a sentence." Even with mental preparation, he was still speechless when it came to his words.
"What's so bad about having thick skin? It makes life happier." Wang Cheng didn't care, "Well, how about Huang Tong’an, he didn’t come?"
"No, you are ignorant. This guy has never been on time, but I am more worried that he may not come to attend. At first, he still came, but later he didn’t come over very often to attend class reunions anymore. I haven't contacted him in two years." There was some emotion in Tong Yangyang’s words. It had been seven years, after all, and things were different.
