"Tianqing, is this the cheongsam you bought?" Lan Tianbei asked.

As a fan of cheongsam, she couldn't help but walk over and touch the exquisite hand-embroidered patterns on the cheongsam, looking like she couldn't let it go.

"Yes, it's high-end, I like it too, but it's a pity that I can't support it. My cousin has a plump figure, you can go upstairs and try it. There is a dressing mirror upstairs." The girl said with regret.

"Where did I buy this cheongsam? It's so beautiful." She loved this cheongsam so much, and Lan Tianqing saw it.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's better to keep it in the family. Sister, you go upstairs and try on the clothes. I'll go to the bathroom." Lan Tianqing said.

"Okay!" Lan Tianbei took the cheongsam and went upstairs.

There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor.

She felt that walking into the bedroom with the door open was like walking into her own boudoir. No, even in her own room, there weren't so many photos of herself.

On the table and on the wall, there are all her photos, from high school to college. Two of them were secretly taken by Gao Zijian, and each one can bring back memories of her youth.

In the photo frame on the desk, there is a photo of her and Gao Zijian when they were in high school. The two of them were leaning against each other intimately. At that time, they had already confirmed their relationship.

There was a stack of old envelopes in the bamboo basket next to the photo frame, and she picked up one at random to look at it. The recipient was "Gao Zijian", the handwriting was very familiar, and there was a postmark on the back.

She picked up the second letter, which had the same handwriting. She opened it curiously and found that it was clearly written by her to Gao Zijian during his first year studying for his doctorate abroad.

"I remember that year, we didn't exchange so many letters?" she thought as she pulled one out from the bottom.

The recipient this time is "Lan Tian Bei" and there is no postmark on the back.

Obviously it was an unsent letter, she took it out curiously and read:

Beibei:

It's been almost a year since we broke up, right? Why can't I stop thinking about you? How have you been this year? Do you have a new boyfriend? Do you...

The letter was only one and a half pages long, and she read it from beginning to end.

The letter roughly describes the man's longing for his lover and also recounts their sweet past, which makes one know at a glance that this is an unforgettable first love.

She was about to pick up another letter to read when the phone rang. It was Ke Yongding, asking her when she would come over and whether she should go pick her up.

She then realized that she felt a little cold, and wondered whether to change the cheongsam or not. If she didn't change it, she might catch a cold, but if she did, she didn't want to accept Gao Zijian's gift.

She called out "Lan Tianqing", but no one answered her. She thought about it and changed into a cheongsam quickly because Ke Yongding was still waiting for her. He must be very bored at the banquet alone.

She put on the cheongsam, stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. She was very satisfied, as if it was tailor-made for her.

She really wanted to know what kind of look Ke Yongding would give her when he saw this.

She was about to go downstairs when she heard a man's voice coming from the stairs: "Only you deserve it!"

"Why is it you? Where's Lan Tianqing?" Lan Tianbei saw Gao Zijian standing at the stairs on the first floor, looking at her with admiration. Her originally cold expression softened a little.

"She went to the party." He reached out to hold the hand of the woman who was walking down the stairs, but the woman squeezed past him.

"I'm wearing this cheongsam. How much did you pay for it? I'll transfer the money to you later." She said as she walked towards the door.

Gao Zijian followed behind her, admiring her beautiful back, without answering her.

The two of them walked into the banquet hall together. Lan Tianbei glanced at the table number that Ke Yongding gave her, asked the hotel waiter, and then walked towards that table.

As she approached, she saw her "boyfriend" sitting and chatting with Lan Tianqing. Seeing her cousin coming over, Lan Tianqing sat down next to her, and she immediately sat down between the two of them.

"Doctor Gao, come and sit here." Lan Tianqing quickly gave up his seat and called Gao Zijian.

After Gao Zijian sat down, Lan Tianqing whispered something in the ear of a man sitting next to Ke Yongding, and the man actually gave up his seat.

Lan Tianqing quickly nodded to thank him, and like a dog-skin plaster, sat down next to Ke Yongding.

After everyone was seated, the banquet officially began.

After the host came on stage and said some congratulatory words, he invited the father of the birthday girl tonight, Li Haiyan's husband Gou Junfeng. The host called him Mayor Gou.

Mayor Gou is thirty-five years old, of medium height and build, wearing an earth-toned suit. He does not have the official airs that one might imagine, and appears to be very easy-going.

His speech on the stage was like a gentle breeze and drizzle, echoing the whispers in the audience.

"Haiyan was very lucky. She married Mayor Gou right after graduation. At that time, he was still the president of the court and was young and promising."

"I really envy them. They have both sons and daughters, and their careers and families are both successful. They are the real winners in life."

"You say, why would he manage a small town instead of being the president of a court? Wouldn't that make him a countryman who lives in the countryside all year round?"

"Then you don't understand. This town is not that town. Do you think it's the same as the town in your country?"

The last sentence was said by the man who gave up his seat to Lan Tianqing. He was so secretive and hesitant, and looked like a woman gossiping.

"Mayor Gou is a really nice person, not at all arrogant. I wish him continued success, and we students can also benefit from his success."

"He is really a nice guy. Every time I find him for something, he is always enthusiastic. Last month he even introduced two clients to me." Lan Tianbei responded to the classmate opposite him.

At this time, a female classmate came to Lan Tianbei with a wine glass and wanted to have a drink with her, but Lan Tianbei refused on the grounds that she could not drink much.

In fact, Ke Yongding was also afraid of her drinking. He recalled the last time when Lan's mother celebrated her 60th birthday, she drank so much that he was almost speechless.

So when he came today, he brought her a glass of mango juice. I remember the mango juice that Coach Cui bought when they were practicing Latin dance last time, and she said it tasted good.

"Really? I remember when we had a class reunion a few years ago, you got several boys drunk?" The classmate looked at the juice in front of Lan Tianbei with a look of suspicion.

"You drank juice, are you kidding? Are you and Gao Zijian back to your student days?"

"Gao Zijian, when did you come back? We haven't seen each other for several years. When can we get together?" The classmate exclaimed when he saw Gao Zijian next to Lan Tianbei.

This woman seemed to be drunk, and her words were a bit incoherent. I had already seen Gao Zijian sitting next to Lan Tianbei, and after watching for a while, I belatedly exclaimed.

"Xiao Rong, have you drunk too much?" Lan Tianbei called the woman's name, wondering if she was traumatized by her divorce.

"It's still early. I only drank a little. I was so envious of you two when we were in school. When are you getting married? Why haven't I tasted your wedding candy?"

Gao Zijian glanced at Ke Yongding proudly.
