In the evening, when Zhou Jingtang and Shen Qi arrived at the western restaurant Mo Tian mentioned, it was still early, more than 20 minutes earlier than the appointed time.There was no one in the restaurant lobby. The waiter explained that someone had booked the entire restaurant and cleared the place in advance.

Zhou Jingtang's first reaction was that some classmate posted it, and he was even better at showing off his wealth than he was back then.

As soon as he entered the door, Mo Tian's call came, and within a few minutes, the young man who came down from the stairs on the second floor called Shen Qi's name in surprise.

"Oh my God, Shen Qi!" Mo Tian strode over, looked Shen Qi up and down, and then hugged him, "Shen Qi, I really didn't expect you to come. very happy."

The moment Shen Qi was hugged by Mo Tian, ​​he subconsciously wanted to push him away, endured the discomfort and waited until Mo Tian let go of his hand, then took a step back calmly.

Zhou Jingtang pulled him behind and greeted Mo Tian politely: "Squad leader, long time no see!"

Mo Tian was aware of Shen Qi's estrangement, he really wanted to talk to Shen Qi without any grievances, but found that he still couldn't do it.He should be one of the few people who didn't bully Shen Qi back then, but he didn't lend a helping hand either.

Mo Tian smiled and said, "Zhou Jingtang, long time no see, both of you, it's a pity that we couldn't go to the college entrance examination together."

"It's a pity," Zhou Jingtang replied casually.

Mo Tian said to Shen Qi: "Shen Qi, in fact, none of us expected you to come. Several of them kept telling me that they hope to see you again, and everyone forget the unpleasant things in the past."

Shen Qi still didn't speak, Zhou Jingtang put on a fake smile: "How many people? Who are they? Let's talk face to face when we meet later."

Mo Tian said: "This party is Lin Dong's treat, and this restaurant is under his name."

Mo Tian led the way and walked to the private room on the second floor. While walking, he said to Zhou Jingtang and Shen Qi next to him: "Many people in our class have gone to other cities to develop, and there are several who have gone abroad. The students in Liucheng today They all came. Everyone did well in the college entrance examination, and they have been able to develop in recent years. Of course, the best one must be Lin Dong. His family has made a lot of money in catering in the past few years."

Zhou Jingtang glanced at it casually, and said lightly: "The decoration is not bad."

Shen Qi kept holding Zhou Jingtang's hand, he was neither nervous nor afraid, but the resistance like conditioned reflex could not be eliminated no matter what.

When Mo Tian pushed open the door of the private room, Zhou Jingtang held Shen Qi's hand back, and walked in graciously, accepting the baptism of everyone's eyes.

In Shen Qi's eyes, the men and women who were chatting and laughing in front of them seemed to overlap with the boys and girls in the classroom in his memory.

The originally lively private room suddenly became quiet.

"Shen Qi."

"Zhou Jingtang."

Everyone was quite surprised. Although the squad leader had said they would come, everyone thought it was just a talk.They always thought that these two people might never appear again in this life.

The person closest to Mo Tian was Zhu Yao. With her back to the door, she saw that everyone was quiet, and she subconsciously looked back. The first thing she saw was Zhou Jingtang behind Mo Tian.That's the guy she fell in love with when she was 17, and still seems to shine after all these years.

She looked at it for a while, and didn't recover until the female classmate next to her pushed her with her arm.At that moment, she felt sad and unwilling. Later, she got married to the rich second generation arranged by her parents and gave birth to a pair of children. But since Zhou Jingtang left, she has never been moved again.

The person next to Zhou Jingtang was still Shen Qi.Shen Qi is no longer the beautiful and noble girl back then, but Shen Qi who has become a man still occupies the position next to Zhou Jingtang.

Zhu Yao clenched her fists unwillingly.

"Come, come, come," Chen Hao hurried over, giving way to Zhou Jingtang and Shen Qi, "Sit here, sit here, everyone is old schoolmate, so don't be restrained."

When Zhou Jingtang and Shen Qi took their seats, Chen Hao took the menu and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhou Jingtang said: "Just be like everyone else."

Next to Zhou Jingtang was Chen Hao, and next to Shen Qi was Mo Tian. They were holding hands all the time, and when they put the phone on the table, they turned it backwards, revealing the couple's phone case generously.

Zhu Yao, who was opposite, took her seat, adjusted her mentality, and asked, "Zhou Jingtang, do you still remember me?"

Zhou Jingtang looked over, thought for a while but didn't remember, and said bluntly, "I can't remember."

The gay man next to him booed and joked: "Maybe Zhou Jingtang only remembers the good-looking ones."

Zhu Yao's complexion was not good-looking, she looked at Shen Qi and said, "Maybe, if you say good-looking, who can be as good-looking as Shen Qi? That's right, if it's not good-looking, how can the guard look at it?"

Shen Qi's hand holding the water glass tightened slightly, looked up at Zhu Yao, looked at Zhu Yao for a long time, and said lightly: "You are really not good-looking."

At the dinner table, everyone had their own thoughts, the joy of the so-called reunion of old classmates was not so obvious, some people even came to hear that Shen Qi and Zhou Jingtang were going to attend, and to watch a good show.

A curious and troublesome female classmate directly asked, "Shen Qi, are you together now?"

"Well, yes," Zhou Jingtang said.

Everyone looked at each other for a while.

This was an awkward gathering, and the scene cooled down several times. After Zhou Jingtang admitted that he and Shen Qi were together, there was another moment of silence.

"nausea."

Suddenly a voice came out abruptly.

Shen Qi glanced around but couldn't find the speaker. In the next second, there was a sound of slapping the table, and a beautiful figure stood up.

Shen Qi finally saw that person.

He remembered her as Qian Qinya.

Qian Qinya stood up and said, "I don't want to eat with gays, who knows if they are sick."

Zhou Jingtang smiled: "I like to eat or not."

Qian Qinya choked for a moment, and became even more angry. She shifted her gaze to Shen Qi and said, "It's true that the green hills don't change the green waters. It was disgusting back then, and it's still disgusting now."

For a moment, Shen Qi felt that he was back in the classroom ten years ago.

His hand trembled uncontrollably, and in the next second, a familiar temperature came from the back of his hand, and he held him comfortingly.

Shen Qi suddenly realized that this is a western restaurant in Liucheng, not the classroom in Liucheng No. [-] Middle School.

He is not alone, he has Zhou Jingtang.

Shen Qi looked at Qian Qinya, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, with an innocent look, and said: "After so many years, you still get sick so easily, is there something wrong?"

"you!"

Qian Qinya was furious, and when she was about to speak back, the door of the private room was pushed open again. She looked back and found that the person who came in was Lin Dong.

"Hey, everyone is here," Lin Dong beckoned the waiter over, and said, "Come on, keep ordering, keep ordering, don't save me money."

"Hey, isn't this Zhou Jingtang, Young Master Zhou?" Lin Dong walked over, pushed Chen Hao aside, and said, "Where is Young Master Zhou now?"

Zhou Jingtang said: "It's not a high job, let's start a small business and make a living."

After a few clicks of his tongue, Lin Dong skipped the topic and exchanged a few words with the people next to him.Although he was talking to others, his peripheral vision was always on Zhou Jingtang.

Lin Dong always remembered that in high school, he had a hot face and a cold butt, and he always wanted to join Zhou Jingtang's circle, but he was always excluded.He knew that Zhou Jingtang and Ning Zhe had always looked down on his family as an upstart.Until Zhou Jingtang left later, he failed to save face in front of Zhou Jingtang.

When Mo Tian said that Zhou Jingtang and Shen Qi were coming to this class reunion, Lin Dong's first reaction was to be happy. He thought that he must take this opportunity to raise his eyebrows in front of Zhou Jingtang so that he would not underestimate him in the future.

Zhou Jingtang brought food to Shen Qi without being affected at all. Qian Qinya who was opposite was persuaded by Zhu Yao who was next to her, and sat back angrily.

"Yo, Yaya, what is this?" Lin Dong asked her.

Qian Qinya sneered, and said, "You'd better sit here, sit in that seat, lest you get into some kind of dirty disease."

Lin Dong glanced at Zhou Jingtang and Shen Qi, laughed, and said to Qian Qinya: "Classmate, what are you talking about?"

Qian Qinya glared at him, turned her face away and said nothing.

Lin Dong smiled, with malicious intent in his eyes, he looked at Shen Qi and said, "Does Shen Qi remember me?"

Unforgettable.

These four words popped up in Shen Qi's mind, but he didn't say them out, he thought, he is not worthy of this person.

Shen Qi didn't speak, but Lin Dong continued: "My father and Tang Wei's father should have paid you a lot of money back then, right? Your leg is fine now, right? Why did you say it was so, the third floor, jump if you want to jump But it was a blessing in disguise, I heard that your mother died later, if we hadn’t lost so much money at that time, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have enough money to bury your mother.”

Shen Qi was used to it, he had heard words that were a hundred times worse than this before, but Zhou Jingtang next to him had a livid face and couldn't bear it.

Lin Dong patted Zhou Jingtang on the shoulder and asked, "Are you a couple now? Actually, it's pretty good, and it's okay to be gay now. By the way, Shen Qi, you didn't pretend to be a girl just to seduce Zhou Jingtang, did you? Everyone You will be old classmates from now on, so let the past be over, although you broke a leg, we also lost money. That money, at least, is enough for your mother to be buried in the grave."

Lin Dong continued to ask: "Do you think so?"

Zhou Jingtang pulled the hand on his shoulder, and his voice was shockingly cold: "It's your mother."

"you!"

Lin Dong was in too much pain from being pulled by him, and he turned half of his body. When he was about to resist, Zhou Jingtang kicked his calf firmly again.

Zhou Jingtang used all his strength, he can guarantee that this kick will definitely make Lin Dongxia unable to get out of bed for half a year.Still feeling puzzled, he rubbed the spot where he had kicked with the toe of his shoe, took out a card from his wallet and smashed it on Lin Dong's face.

Zhou Jingtang smiled, staring at Lin Dong with reddened eyes, and said word by word: "This money will pay you, and the rest will be used to bury your mother."

Everyone turned pale with fright, and many timid female students screamed, and the goblets were overturned with the things they got up, and the ground was in a mess.

Mo Tian and Chen Hao quickly tried to stop Zhou Jingtang, but neither of them could stop Zhou Jingtang, so they could only watch Lin Dong get another kick.

"We are all classmates, what are you doing?" Mo Tian said.

Zhou Jingtang turned around to scold him: "Who the hell is your classmate with you? I'm here today to fight! Why didn't you think you were a classmate when you bullied Shen Qi?"

"Zhou Jingtang, don't go too far!" Lin Dong endured the pain and said, "You think I don't know. Over there in Jincheng, your Zhou family has already retired. Do you think you are still the same young master Zhou?"

"Whether to retreat or not, it doesn't matter if you kill an upstart like you," Zhou Jingtang said.

The situation here is like fire and water, and on the other side, Mo Tian had no choice but to call Shen Qi to persuade Zhou Jingtang in a low voice.

After being reminded by him, Shen Qi remembered that his and Zhou Jingtang's mobile phones were still on the table, and quickly put them away, fearing that they would be accidentally injured later.

He and Zhou Jingtang already had such a tacit understanding in their hearts, they never owed anyone, this time they came to the class reunion, no matter what kind of grievances they had, whether they had grudges or grudges, they would be calm in the future.

Zhu Yao stood up and said, "Zhou Jingtang, we are all classmates, why do you have to be so ugly."

Zhou Jingtang didn't even give her a look, and said: "I know, everyone has a share in bullying Shen Qi back then. It's been more than ten years. I know it's meaningless to pursue it today. We came here frankly today, just I want to tell everyone that we were right back then, and we are right now, you were the ones who picked things up first, and you will be beaten if you pick things up, haven’t you learned that?”

"Bully him?" Qian Qinya snorted coldly, "Are we going to bully him for no reason?"

Lin Dong broke away from Zhou Jingtang's hand, dragged his injured leg to stand up, pointed at Shen Qi's nose and cursed: "Pervert, homosexual, hooligan, voyeur, that word is wronging him? He's a big man, isn't he? Men and women are not women, I will take the handle back to the women's restroom and say that he is disgusting and wrong?"

Zhou Jingtang was enraged, and when he was about to strike again, Shen Qi tugged at the corner of his clothes from behind.

Shen Xi glanced at everyone around, and asked lightly: "Do you all think so?"

Some people avoided his gaze, but Qian Qinya looked directly at him and asked, "Isn't it?"

Shen Qi smiled, and really smiled like a sigh of relief.

In the next second, under the astonished eyes of everyone, he passed Zhou Jingtang, grabbed Lin Dong by the collar, and dragged him out who had no strength to resist.

Lin Dong was shocked: "What are you doing? What do you want to do?"

Shen Qi grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the crowd.

Zhou Jingtang also had a little doubt, but immediately followed.

Everyone followed out.

Shen Qi dragged Lin Dong to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, and pulled him into the women's bathroom in full view.

The female guest inside was startled, screamed and came out of the cubicle and ran out of the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other and stood crowded at the door of the women's bathroom.

Shen Qi grabbed Lin Dong's collar and dragged him to push the doors one by one. After pushing the last one, he threw him heavily on the ground.

He looked back at everyone, men and women, and pointed to every cubicle in the bathroom. The emotions he had suppressed for many years came out at this moment, and his voice was almost trembling: "Look, this is the women's bathroom, and the sink is outside. , every compartment has a door, even if I Shen Qi was wrong, I never took advantage of any woman."

"I was wrong, I admit it," he said slowly, "but I'm not a pervert, I'm not a hooligan, I admit that I'm gay, and I like Zhou Jingtang."

The moment he finished speaking, Shen Xi felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his body.It was only now that he realized that it was the eyes of these people that had oppressed him for more than ten years.
