Chapter 2297: Chapter 2099: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing
Gu Linxi hadn’t left the construction site to see the world outside for a long time. After leaving, she first went back to the hotel for a good shower, changed into clean clothes, sat cross-legged on the sofa with an ice cream in her mouth, and opened her laptop to check the stock market trends.
Who would have thought that shortly after she began to relax, an annoying phone call came in.
She glanced at the caller ID, an unfamiliar number, and tossed the phone aside without answering it.
The caller, however, was persistent, as the phone kept ringing non-stop as if it wouldn’t end until she picked up. She was fed up and slowly picked up the phone, and answered.
“Hello?” Her casual tone of speech was like a plum soaked in ice water in August, refreshingly sweet, leaving a lingering taste.
“Linxi? Are you Gu Linxi?” The excited voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat familiar to Gu Linxi.
“Who are you?”
“It’s me, Lin Wei. You don’t remember me; we sat next to each other in high school, we were really good friends back then! We even went to the bathroom together.”
The memories of high school were so distant, almost like they were from a previous life. She thought for a moment, her memory faintly bringing up a figure, tall and thin, excellent grades, round face with a mole on the chin. During school days, boys often teased her, calling that mole a “leadership mole,” because a great person in Hua Country also had an identical mole in the same place.
Gu Linxi suddenly remembered, “You’re Lin Wei?”
“Yes, yes, it’s me. Are you free tomorrow?”
“Something up?”
Lin Wei laughed and said, “Yes, a class reunion. The class monitor mentioned in the group a few days ago that it’s been a long time since everyone saw each other and wanted to organize a reunion for everyone to get together. Anyone near Lin City would come. You’re not in our group, and they didn’t have your contact info, couldn’t reach you. I suddenly remembered I had your number and just tried to call you, didn’t expect you still use this number. Linxi, you’re still the nostalgic kind.”
She always was a nostalgic person; using old things brought her comfort.
“Are you still in Capital City? Or did you return to Lin City?” The other party seemed afraid she might misunderstand, quickly explaining, “I just heard someone mention in the group that you later developed in Capital City, so I asked. Don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s okay, I’m not taking it to heart.”
After Gu Linxi finished speaking, she calmly said, “I’m back in Lin City.”
“You’re in Lin City! That’s great!” The other party sounded quite happy, raising their voice in excitement, “Then come to the class reunion, we haven’t seen each other for ages.”
“I…”
Lin Wei interrupted her, “Don’t say you’re not available. It’s just a meal, surely you can find the time. Xixi, I really regretted back in high school, not going to your house to comfort you. Later, when I heard you didn’t go to college but went abroad, I… still feel uneasy about it. If you have time, just come to see us, it’s just us old classmates, it’s not a big deal. I want to see if you’re doing well, and if you are, I can be at ease.”
With her words reaching this point, their relationship was indeed quite good back then, Gu Linxi thought about her schedule for tomorrow, and finding nothing particularly busy, she agreed. “What time tomorrow?”
“Noon, at Taste Pavilion.”
“….”
They actually chose Taste Pavilion?
Gu Linxi, momentarily distracted, pursed her lips and murmured, “I got it.”
