Tentative

Compared with the cities where A University and S University are located, Qiaocheng is really a small city.Therefore, Jiang's father finally planned to close some small businesses there and sell the shop and the previous house.The job was handed over to Jiang Yuzhao, who didn't refuse, and drove back to Qiaocheng the next day.

After a few years, the city hasn't changed much, it's still so peaceful.

He arranged things quickly, and the shop and the house were put up for buyers.In fact, he could go back logically after finishing all these, but since he hasn't come here for a long time, he actually misses the past a little bit.

The large dog passed away last month.

Probably since he took the business of M8, he has rarely had time to walk the dog. The dog has been staying in a small house and hired someone to take care of it.As for Jiang Yuzhao himself, he can only see it once a month.At first, he didn't realize that he treated his beloved pet so coldly. It wasn't until last month, when the old pet passed away, that Jiang Yuzhao realized that he cared too little for it.

Especially compared with the time in high school before, it really can't be less.

But regret, will not let life start again.

Instead of driving, he walked to the sky.The gate is still the same, the breakfast shops and small vendors in front of the school have taken on a new look, and I don’t know how many are left from the past.Students in school uniforms walked past him energetically, talking about current games and holding the latest mobile phones.Everything is better, and it hasn't changed much since then, but it has changed a lot in the details.

Jiang Yuzhao didn't like this feeling of being absent-minded. He ran to the street where he used to walk his dog the most, went to the noodle shop he often went to, ordered a large bowl of pea noodles, and sat in the corner to finish it.

Qin Shi originally wanted to come along, but she was about to graduate soon, and she hadn't even finished her graduation project, so she had to give up.

Jiang Yuzhao didn't say anything, actually he didn't want to bring Qin Shi.

If Qin Shi is there, it seems to destroy the memory of the past and the harmony.

After eating noodles, he went to visit his mother's cemetery and talked for a while.Then unconsciously followed the memory and walked to the tomb of Qu Zhe's parents.

It's not Qingming, nor is it the memorial day of Qu Zhe's parents. No matter how you think about it, Qu Zhe won't be there.

But Jiang Yuzhao looked over from a distance, always feeling that he would suddenly see Qu Zhe's figure.He would stand in front of his parents' monument with his head down and talk, light a cigarette, and look up at the sky when he was tired.

He didn't see that figure until he had seen the tombstone of Qu's parents.

The tombstone is quite clean, and there is a bouquet of flowers in front of the monument.

"That's right, who can find him if he hides." Jiang Yuzhao said to himself, thinking that he would be so stupid to see Qu Zhe standing here again.

But in an instant, he suddenly realized something.

Today is not Qingming, nor is it a festival day, the tombstone is still clean, and there are even flowers on it. Doesn't that mean that Qu Zhe is here.

If you didn't live here, how could you come to worship on an insignificant day.The flower was obviously just put down not long ago, and it was still blooming very well.

Qu Zhe must be here, he has returned to the very beginning!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhao hurriedly left the cemetery and walked towards the sky.

After such a long time, he no longer remembered the address of Qu Zhe's house, so he could only stand at the gate of the school, try to recall the past, and then search for Qu Zhe's former home with a little bit of broken details.

Both he and Shen Yizhuo took it for granted that the Qu family's parents had an accident and they still had money for Qu Xiaoyu to study at S University, so they could only have sold their house.When Qu Zhe had just left, he sent someone back to Qiaocheng to check his ID card, whether he had used it in any public facilities, but found nothing.I don't know if Shen Yizhuo is the same, but Jiang Yuzhao gave up after searching for a month. He thought Qu Zhe would not come back here.Because... If he were Qu Zhe, the last thing he would want to recall was the gloomy days in high school.

He had been to Qu Zhe's house, but he was not a guest, but saw him come home by accident, and it was only once.

When the sun was about to set, Jiang Yuzhao stopped at the downstairs of a private house.This is quite different from the building in his memory, it is too old, he is not even sure if he remembers it correctly, it is here.

He stood downstairs for a long time, and before he realized how much he wanted to see Qu Zhe, he had prayed countless times in his heart, praying that Qu Zhe would be here.

But several hours passed, and until it got dark, Jiang Yuzhao did not see any familiar figure.He smiled self-deprecatingly twice, and planned to leave.

The car was still parked downstairs in his old house, and all the way he was walking there, strangers passed by him constantly, talking loudly, or walking in a hurry, which made him a bit lonely.He passed by the door of an Internet cafe he used to frequent, and just so happened that two boys came out of it and almost bumped into him.

The boy took a closer look and shouted, "Jiang Yuzhao?!"

The voice called him out of his thoughts. Jiang Yuzhao stopped and looked back. He didn't remember who the two people in front of him were for a while. The other party had already walked up with a smile and said very familiarly: "It's been a long time No see!"

"...Long time no see." Soon he remembered that these two were classmates in their high school class, one was Ren Bai and the other was Liu Chen, and they used to be troublemakers sitting in the back row, and they made a lot of trouble Qu Zhe.But that was only a matter of the first year of high school, and Qu Zhe had already dropped out when the second year of high school started.

His kind greeting was quite different from the Jiang Yuzhao in the memory of the two of them, and he was a little stunned for a while. Liu Chen said, "Where is Brother Zhao developing now..."

Jiang Yuzhao didn't feel uncomfortable when I ran into a classmate and exchanged some pleasantries, so he replied truthfully: "In X City, are you still in Qiao City?"

"Yeah, I'm still," Liu Chen said, "I came back after graduation, Ren Bai didn't."

Ren Bai answered, "Well, you came here specially for the party this time, right?"

"reunion?"

"High school reunion!" Liu Chen said with a smile, "Didn't you come back for this?"

Jiang Yuzhao shook his head. He really didn't know about it. It was purely a coincidence that he came back to Qiaocheng this time.Rao is a former problem person, including the two people in front of him, including himself, after years of baptism, they have all become different.Jiang Yuzhao couldn't tell what it was like. He had almost no contact with his high school classmates, and even his college classmates only knew a few names, and some of them couldn't match their faces.But seeing them, it seems that they have returned to the time at that time in an instant.

The other two didn't notice his discomfort at all, but continued: "Then it's not just right, it will be tomorrow at noon, at 'a restaurant', you come together."

Jiang Yuzhao tentatively asked, "...Will Qu Zhe come?"

"Qu Zhe?" Ren Bai tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person.It was Liu Chen who responded, "Qu Zhe... We are not in charge of contacting the event, it seems that the squad leader is in charge of contacting us, so he should be able to call."

"Ah Quzhe," Ren Bai remembered now, "he probably won't come...he left after his sophomore year of high school. Why do you still keep in touch after that?"

"No connection."

After Jiang Yuzhao asked, he felt stupid again.Even he didn't want to participate in such an event, so how could Qu Zhe come, and besides, who could still contact Qu Zhe.

Liu Chen continued: "However, I saw Qu Zhe some time ago. Since they are all here, I should go."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuzhao immediately became energetic: "Where did you meet Qu Zhe?!"

"Ah..." Liu Chen thought for a while, "It's on the street, but I didn't say hello... He is tall and thin now, and I recognize him immediately."

"Really..." The two didn't notice the anxiety in Jiang Yuzhao's expression, but chatted without saying a word, "How do I remember that he used to be short and a little fat?"

"Did you remember correctly, I don't remember being fat, just an old hunchback, looking very short."

"Is it……"

In other words, Qu Zhe was indeed in Qiaocheng, at least some time ago.Jiang Yuzhao recalled the words of the new release in front of the grave, and confirmed this even more. It seemed that he was going to stay in Qiaocheng for a while to find Qu Zhe.He thought to himself, and didn't reply for a while.Seeing him like this, Ren Bai and Liu Chen said again: "Then will you come tomorrow?"

"Come on, 'a restaurant', right?"

"Okay then, see you tomorrow."

After making an appointment, Liu Chen and the others left first.Jiang Yuzhao turned back to Qu Zhe's house again. This time he waited downstairs until twelve o'clock, but he didn't see the lights of Qu Zhe's house come on, nor did he see him come back. After thinking about it, even if Qu Zhe was in Qiaocheng, I may not live here anymore, so I have to leave feeling disappointed.

He found a hotel to stay in, tossed and turned in bed until three o'clock in the morning, and finally fell asleep.

A restaurant has been in Qiaocheng for many years, and it is still an old restaurant. As for when it started, Jiang Yuzhao can't remember, but only vaguely remembers eating there a few times when he was a child, and the taste was not bad.

He didn't get up until after eleven o'clock the next day, and after a hasty wash, he drove there.

After such a long time, the address is still the original address, but the facade is different from before, it looks much more luxurious than before.

"Sir, how many people do you have, do you have a reservation?" the beautiful welcome lady asked him.

Jiang Yuzhao thought for a while: "There is a class reunion today, I should have reserved a seat, can you help me check?"

"Okay sir, can you tell me your reserved mobile phone number or surname?"

Yesterday they said that the squad leader was in charge, so it should have been ordered by the squad leader.Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhao said, "My surname is Zhu."

"Yes sir, this way please."

It was just after twelve o'clock at this time, and the welcoming guests led him all the way to the second floor, and entered a large private room, where four tables were opened. As soon as he entered, many people looked at him, and then there were exclamations : "That's...Jiang Yuzhao?"

"I heard that Jiang Yuzhao is the boss of that M8..."

"I really can't tell...is his family so rich?"

He glanced at the people present, there was no Qu Zhe.However, he did see a few familiar faces: like Zhang Nana, and the ponytail she had a good relationship with was among them.Liu Chen and Ren Bai came early and greeted Jiang Yuzhao happily, and they naturally sat together.

When it comes to class reunions, everyone can't help talking about the past.Some people made fun of Jiang Yuzhao and inquired about his current family situation, but Jiang Yuzhao just responded and didn't say much.

He didn't see Qu Zhe until all the reservations were filled.After all, he was lucky, and he knew intellectually, how could Qu Zhe come to this kind of party to humiliate them?

"Who made it here today? Why don't you go to the Xiangyan Mansion over there, it tastes better over there."

The squad leader smiled: "Luo Qing decided!"

Jiang Yuzhao listened to their chat, and followed the words to look at Luo Qing—that is, Zhang Nana's friend, Ponytail.

Luo Qing smiled slyly: "The taste of a restaurant is not bad, besides, there may be surprises."
