Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Class Reunion
Until he woke up.
Yet he couldn’t help but start to savor such a dream.
After all, he was the type who seldom dreamt before this.
Today’s events did indeed surprise him a bit.
He had no idea how he could suddenly have such a dream out of the blue.
As he was reminiscing about this, suddenly, his phone’s ringtone jarringly broke the silence.
The whole thing happened so unexpectedly that he was caught off guard.
In that moment, Liu Zheng’s body couldn’t help but shudder.
And quickly, he answered the phone.
It was from the classmate who had called him last time.
Wang Yong shouted into the phone.
"Hey, I’ve sent you the address and time for our class reunion, you must remember to come on time, okay?"
"I saw you didn’t reply to my message, so I thought I’d give you a call to let you know."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng finally snapped back to reality and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Oh, alright, no problem, I’ve been a bit busy these days, I’ll look at it in a moment."
"Good, good, you do your thing, but don’t forget about us. It’s been a long time since the classmates have seen you, and they’re all looking forward to your arrival."
Liu Zheng readily agreed to it.
But to be honest, it had indeed been many years since he had last seen them.
After all, these were his elementary school classmates.
In this day and age, who still has reunions with their elementary school classmates?
Forget elementary school classmates, even the friends he made in college were not in much contact anymore.
Most of his elementary school classmates were from the same area.
But everyone had their own lives, so they generally developed their careers in the city and rarely came back.
Although it was the same area, it wasn’t the same village, and in truth, there was some distance between everyone.
When he unlocked his phone, he then saw the message from Wang Yong.
Normally, he didn’t check these messages often, because there were not many people to contact him anyway.
In this small village, news spread by word of mouth, and there wasn’t much use for phones to communicate.
After he saw the location and the message, he immediately replied.
"Okay, no problem."
However, this time they had specifically chosen a restaurant in the county.
It seemed everyone took it quite seriously.
And the restaurant was apparently one of the more famous ones locally.
It was just that he had never been there in all these years.
"Alright, alright, no problem, I’ll definitely arrive on time," he replied.
Soon, Liu Zheng sent another message,
reassuring Wang Yong not to worry.
Tomorrow was the day of the reunion, and today he had to get things in order so he could have some free time then.
But today was indeed free for him, as there weren’t many patients coming in.
Although it had gotten colder recently, everyone had kept warm well, so there weren’t many sick people.
Before long, it was the next day.
Liu Zheng didn’t bother with dressing up too much; he just wore his usual clothes and hitched a ride to the county town.
Upon his arrival, he found that Wang Yong was already waiting for him at the entrance.
Wang Yong was incredibly enthusiastic, and when he saw Liu Zheng, he immediately came forward and clapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, I’ve been waiting for you for ages, you’re finally here," he exclaimed.
"Most of our classmates have already arrived, let’s go up."
Liu Zheng gently nodded.
To be honest, after so many years of not seeing them, he still felt a bit expectant, wondering what his old classmates looked like now.
Waiting for him in the private room, he would find that many people had already arrived.
Almost everyone had a trace of a happy smile on their faces.
They were all there, chatting nonstop.
Chatting about their lives, about their recent situations.
And as soon as Wang Yong arrived with Liu Zheng,
he warmly introduced him to everyone.
"Look who we have here, I’ve brought Liu Zheng along just as promised!"
When everyone heard this, their gazes turned towards their direction.
After all, back in their day, getting into a university wasn’t easy at all.
And Liu Zheng was a bona fide university student.
Many of them, indeed, had not gone to university.
Some entered society early due to the pressures of survival and for various other reasons.
Liu Zheng also greeted everyone very politely.
"Hello everyone, long time no see."
He quickly noticed the most striking person in the crowd.
If he remembered correctly, that should be Chen Xiaoxiao, the prettiest girl from their elementary school days.
Unexpectedly, she had become even more graceful.
Quite stunning she was.
Whether it was her figure or her looks, she was among the cream of the crop.
He vaguely remembered that the first person he had a crush on when he was young was her.
But at that age, he was indeed too young; he didn’t understand love or affection, it was probably more of an admiration.
After all, this girl was very pretty from a young age and also performed well academically, being one of the top students in the class.
Who would have thought that she would grow up to stay so attractive.
Yet, for some reason, Liu Zheng thought he saw a faint sadness in her eyes.
Although her lips were always curved in a smile.
Her eyes carried a subtly complex emotion.
However, Liu Zheng didn’t delve too deep into it, perhaps feeling that he was overthinking.
The other classmates were also coming forward to greet him.
It must be said that everyone had indeed made something of themselves.
Now, each person’s life seemed quite good.
Soon, everyone took their seats.
"Oh, stop it, who would have thought that we’d be able to gather together again after so many years?"
"Yeah, we haven’t met up in so long, there was always someone missing before, but this time it seems like everyone’s here, right?"
"Right, right, to tell you the truth, seeing everyone doing so well now really makes me happy."
"Yes, indeed, if there’s a chance, we should meet up more often in the future, stay in touch with each other."
...
Everyone was contributing to the conversation, chipping in one after the other.
To be honest, Liu Zheng still felt a bit uncomfortable in such a scene.
Maybe it was because it had been quite a long time since he attended such a gathering.
He was just responding intermittently to the conversation.
He wouldn’t initiate conversation, but if someone spoke to him, he would certainly reply obediently.
To be honest, he hadn’t fully recognized everyone present.
Mainly because there were indeed too many people, and after so many years, how could he possibly remember every single person?
