Burn

Chapter 3

Hearing that Xiao Huan is back, the reunion of Class [-] of Senior Zero was full of people and very lively.

When Xiao Huan entered the box, more than half of the people inside had already arrived.Xiao Huan scanned around, there were a few familiar faces, most of them were unfamiliar, and Xu Ran was not seen.

The fat Liu Yifan came up to meet him, and embraced his shoulder affectionately: "Master, I've been waiting for you!"

Xiao Huan endured the discomfort in his heart and squeezed out a smile: "Is it just me?"

"You're the protagonist today!" Liu Yifan patted him on the back excitedly, completely oblivious to the meaning behind his words.

The other students came over one after another, chatting and chatting about the old days while inquiring about Xiao Huan's recent situation.

Xiao Huan did not hide it, where he worked before, where he works now, bought a car, and bought a house, and told them all frankly.For these things, he has always felt that there is no need for modesty and low-key.

Everyone heard that he was the top leader of Xingyun, and they were more attentive to him. Several people who started a company and those who wanted to start a business all exchanged contact information and wanted to make another appointment with him in private.Xiao Huan does not resist such purposeful enthusiasm. The relationship between people is inherently complicated, and it is natural to want to gain benefits from the other party.This is also the main purpose of his organizing this class reunion. He has just returned to China and needs to quickly establish a useful network for future work.

The topic gradually shifted from work to life.

Male classmates chatted with him about cars and houses, while female classmates inquired about his marital status.A beautiful single female classmate deliberately approached and asked, "The girlfriend of the Great God must also be very beautiful!"

Xiao Huan looked at the face of this female classmate, who was completely unfamiliar, and couldn't remember who she was after thinking about it for a long time.He distanced himself from her without any trace, still with a polite smile on his face: "Maybe you're right!" One answer was vague and irrelevant, and everyone couldn't figure out whether he had a girlfriend or not.Some people wanted to continue probing, but Xiao Huan took the initiative to change the subject.While chatting with everyone, he paid attention to everyone who came in through the door intentionally or unintentionally.

Several female classmates came one after another from behind, all dressed up to attend, and their deliberately dressed faces radiated light.Each of them wanted to come over to catch up with him, each of them looked very strange, Xiao Huan dealt with them casually, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and clicked on WeChat, the conversation with Xu Ran was blank.He thought about it, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are you?"

Xu Ran returned quickly: "It's the door."

Xiao Huan put down his phone and stared at the door.The third person who came in was Xu Ran, with his back hooked slightly, his hair cut short, wearing the big black-rimmed glasses he wore when delivering food, covering half of his face, and wearing a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers, like a The green students who just graduated are in stark contrast to the other male and female students who are dressed up.

He stood awkwardly at the door and greeted people in a low voice: "Sorry, I'm late."

Even Liu Yifan looked at him for a long time before he recognized who he was, let alone other people.If anyone in Class [-] of Senior Zero has changed the most, it is undoubtedly Xu Ran.

"Xu Ran, stupid Xu?" Luckily, the enthusiastic Liu Yifan stepped forward and pulled him to sit down, which revived the atmosphere.

"Why are you wearing glasses! You used to have an air force vision of 5.3!" Liu Yifan stared at his glasses in disbelief.

Xu Ran lowered his face in embarrassment: "I stumbled, and that's it."

Liu Yifan didn't ask a few words, the other students moved over, surrounded Xu Ran to catch up on the old days, and asked around.

Xu Ran had already made mental preparations, but the first topic shattered his defenses.

"Your father is in business. Seeing that you are living better than us, you should be a small boss!"

"No, no." Xu Ran hesitated to deal with it, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Huan who was outside the crowd, sitting on the side and looked at him coldly.He hastily looked away.

The old classmates chatted more and more, and asked questions one after another.

"Where are you hanging out now?" "Your house should be tens of millions now!" "You must have a lot of girlfriends when you look like this!"...

Xu Ran couldn't answer, his face was red when asked.Liu Yifan saw his embarrassment and offered to help him: "It's almost full, dinner is ready!"

Only then did the people surrounding Xu Ran disperse. Seeing Xu Ran's reaction, most of them also guessed that he was not doing well.Everyone didn't want to embarrass him. After all, although Xu Ran's grades were a mess when he was studying, he was stupid and cheerful, and his family was rich and generous. He was always coaxed to eat and drink by caring classmates, and he paid the bill.

But people are always snobbish, and not embarrassing him also means ignoring him.He didn't mix well, and he didn't have the value of ridicule. Xu Ran became a transparent person in the classmate association through and through.But this is also what Xu Ran is looking forward to. He sits in the corner, eats quietly, and occasionally chats with his classmates who are also invisible to him.Xiao Huan sat in the main seat, and the students toasted him one by one.Xu Ran looked at him who was popular, although the turmoil in his heart was still there, but it was not as turbulent as before.The current Xiao Huan is just an unattainable scenery to him, knowing that he is good is enough.

It was Xu Ran's turn to toast, he filled a glass of beer and toasted across the table: "Welcome back."

After speaking, raise your head and do it first.Xiao Huan on the opposite side was indifferent.

When studying, Xu Ran liked to pester Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan didn't like Xu Ran pestering him.In fact, Xu Ran's nicknames were "fool" and "idiot" at the beginning, which were all called by Xiao Huan.Later, it was gradually evolved into a euphemistic "silly Xu" by others.

Looking at the expressionless Xiao Huan, Xu Ran was at a loss.Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Yifan came out to smooth things over: "Silly Xu, you didn't cause trouble for our great god at that time, so hurry up and accompany us a little more now!"

Xu Ran hurriedly filled another glass, looked at Xiao Huan and said sincerely: "I was ignorant at that time, I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" After speaking, he drank it in one gulp.

Xiao Huan's expression finally changed. "It's not all trouble." He didn't understand why he said that, and he just said it when he wanted to say it.

Knowing that he was being polite, Xu Ran pursed his lips and smiled apologetically.Liu Yifan shouted: "Who is next, who else hasn't had a drink with the Great God?"

The dinner table became lively again.Xu Ran sat down and drank two more glasses of beer on his own.The way he drank silently fell into Xiao Huan's eyes.

By the end of the meal, the scene had already begun to become chaotic.Everyone was toasting to each other randomly, and a male classmate who was not familiar with him suddenly grabbed Xu Ran and insisted on drinking with him.

"Xu Ran, you were so generous at that time. You brought me breakfast every day and invited us to play games. You are really nice, very nice!" The male classmate was one of the people who often coaxed Xu Ran to treat guests to dinner.

Xu Ran recognized this classmate, who seemed to be called Tan Hao. His family conditions were not good, his parents divorced, and he always liked to ask him to buy him breakfast without giving him any money.He never asked for it once.

"What are you doing now? I remember that your father runs a company and lives in a big house! I have been to your house, do you remember?" Tan Hao embraced him and talked about the past.

Xu Ran wanted to break free from him, but he was not as strong as him.Tan Hao held his shoulder tightly: "You kid, you must have gotten rich, and you're pretending to be low-key with us here, don't you think so!"

"Really not." Xu Ran was helpless by him.

"Your father is so rich, how can you have no money, you are pretending to me here!" Qin Hao was very dissatisfied, and poured a glass full of white wine for Xu Ran: "You are dishonest, dishonest people have to drink, drink! "

Qin Hao pressed Xu Ran and insisted on forcing him to drink.Xu Ran couldn't resist, and after drinking half a cup, his entire stomach burned.There was half a glass left, and he couldn't drink it anymore, and resisted not to drink any more.

Tan Hao was persistent and forced him to finish the drink: "If you don't finish the drink, you just don't treat us old classmates as classmates, and you just pretend to be low-key here on purpose, and you just pretend to be here on purpose!"

Qin Hao pressed the wine glass to his mouth, he had to struggle, and knocked over the cup and saucer on the table, the sound of falling to the ground and breaking finally attracted the attention of others.

"Tin Hao, what are you doing?" Someone stepped forward and asked.

Tan Hao still pressed Xu Ran and forced the wine into his mouth.

"This kid is too shameless, he's pretending to be aggressive with me here, and he's being punished for drinking!"

Xu Ran resisted with a "woo hoo" and dropped his glasses, looking very pitiful.

Some people still couldn't see it, so they pulled Tan Hao away: "You've lived like this!"

Tan Hao was pulled away, unable to wipe away his shame, he took his anger out on Xu Ran, pointed at him and cursed: "What are you pretending to be, isn't it just how much money your father has?! A man who eats his parents Rich second generation, what is there to pretend for!"

Xu Ran's face was covered with alcohol, and his eyes were blurred.He bent down to find his glasses on the ground, and someone picked them up for him.He fumbled to put it on, and his vision returned to clarity.Surrounded by happy faces, including Xiao Huan.

Qin Hao continued to scold: "I came here to pretend to be forced because of my family's money, what's there to pretend, what do you say you have to pretend, soon relying on my parents' money, and you If you don’t drink alcohol, what a fool you are!”

"Tan Hao, shut up, every time I give you a drink, it will cause trouble." Liu Yifan scolded him, and asked the other two male students to pull him away.Tan Hao was tall and fat, and the two male classmates couldn't move him at all, and he pushed him away.

"Xu Ran, tell me if you are the second generation rich, if you are taking advantage of your parents and spending money from your parents, if you are pretending to be aggressive, tell me!" Burned on the face.

Xu Ran lowered his head and looked at the broken dishes at his feet, not understanding how things turned out like this.

"Is Xu Ran a rich second generation? I don't think it looks like it!" After watching a good show, Xiao Huan finally stood up.

"What do you mean?" Qin Hao asked him back.

Xu Ran raised his head to meet his sweeping gaze, and his heart tightened.Xiao Huan didn't want to help him, he would only make him worse.At this moment, Xu Ran came to a conclusion.

"Have you ever seen the rich second generation deliver food in wind and rain?" Sure enough, Xiao Huan told the truth mercilessly.

Seeing the sarcasm and indifference on his face, Xu Ran suddenly understood why he, who didn't fit in, wanted to form this class reunion and why he was invited.

He also "exposed" him in front of many people, exposing his father as gay.He also led others to call him a pervert with AIDS, and also called his two fathers a pervert with AIDS.That time Xiao Huan was very angry and broke the bridge of his nose.

He was young then, only nine years old.He didn't really want to scold him, he just wanted to get his attention.He is always alone, and he doesn't want to talk to people.He wants to be friends with him, but he can't find a good way.

Xiao Huan has always remembered these things, he knows it.Because of his publicity, many people know Xiao Huan's special family and two special fathers.Xiao Huan suffered a lot of gossip and groundless accusations and insults from elementary school to junior high school and then to high school.Those who are jealous of him will also use these to attack him.He can't let go, and he should.Then this time, should he let it go?Xu Ran looked at the indifferent Xiao Huan and thought.

"What? Xu Ran, you deliver food?" Tan Hao couldn't believe it, but many people understood Xiao Huan's words at once.Xu Ran's dodging and hesitating, as well as his attire, and even his cowardly demeanor, have already explained a lot of problems.Most people just see through and don't talk about it.

Xu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly accepted the inquiry, suspicion, curiosity and sympathy from everyone around him.

"Yeah, my father's business has long been bankrupt, and the family's big house has also been sold, and the family owes a lot of money. I didn't finish college, and I couldn't find a high-paying job without a diploma. I had to go to As a delivery man, I usually work a bit hard, but the income is not bad.” Xu Ran told everyone his real situation frankly, after he finished speaking, his head started to feel dizzy, and he thought it might be because of the alcohol.

Xiao Huan looked at Xu Ran with flushed cheeks, stood there frankly, and explained his situation to everyone.He looked at him lightly, with a relieved smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

"Squad leader, can I go first? I have to go to work at night!" Xu Ran wanted to leave quickly while he was conscious.

The scene was so embarrassing that Liu Yifan, the squad leader, felt that it was meaningless for him to stay any longer, so he might as well let him go.He nodded.After Xu Ran and the other students nodded in apology, they left without looking back.

As soon as he left, the lively scene resumed, Tan Hao didn't leave, the broken bowls were swept away by the waiter, everyone continued to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.Tan Hao found Xiao Huan to toast, Xiao Huan drank his toast, and added his WeChat, he asked Xiao Huan to have dinner together next time.

Xiao Huan smiled: "Let's talk!"

Tan Hao is very happy. He recently found a good project and is planning to attract investment to start a company. Xiao Huan's Nebula Venture Capital heard that there are high-quality support projects for entrepreneurship, so he has to hold his thigh tightly.

After drinking and eating, a group of people made an appointment to go to the bar for another drink.Xiao Huan stood up and said, "I won't go!"

"What's the point if the Great God doesn't go!" Someone expressed dissatisfaction.

Xiao Huan glanced over indifferently: "I have an acquisition case to discuss tomorrow, and that's all for today."

"I really have something to do, please forgive me, please forgive me, and make an appointment another day. If you want to drink today, follow me!" It was still Liu Yifan who came out to smooth things over.

It was already dark outside, the group of people finally dispersed, those who went home went home, and those who went to the bar went to the bar.Xiao Huan's car had to be parked on the street because the hotel garage was full.He walked there, past a bus stop.A person was lying curled up on a strip seat at the bus stop, with vomit on the ground.Three passers-by waiting for the bus avoided him far away.

When Xiao Huan passed by, he took another look, and found that lying on the chair was Xu Ran, who was already unconscious.
