Someone once said that the so-called class reunion was a gathering to compare in all aspects. Comparing jobs, income, houses, and cars. Men would compare their wives' figures and faces. Women would compare their boyfriends, husbands, the jewelry they wore, and the luxuries they owned at home. Anything that could be compared would not be left behind.
Therefore, those who were willing to participate in the class reunion were usually famous, promising, and had the capital to show off. Those who were slightly worse off and had no ability would basically turn pale at the mention of the class reunion. They would rack their brains to refuse and avoid the class reunion.
Some people even said that society changed a person, distorting the originally spotless relationship between classmates. But in reality? Didn't anyone compare with him when he was still a student? Yes. Students compared their grades, compared their new Nike running shoes, and even compared their living expenses.
It was often said that where there were people, there would be Jianghu. But where did Jianghu come from? From the perspective of face. Because of face, there was intrigue, mutual deception, and from then on, there was Jianghu.
The school was a small Jianghu, but the society was a big one. When a group of students without shrewdness and interests grew up, after experiencing the baptism and tempering of the secular world, they all became a part of Jianghu. Blades flashed and swords flashed, and no blood was shed.
Mockery was a knife, and contempt was a sword. A knife and a sword fiercely stabbed at the students living at the bottom of society, making them restless and ashamed.
Xiao Zheng was in such an awkward situation. He had no sense of existence, and no one cared about him. If it wasn't for the appearance of Tao Ying, perhaps the students would not even remember who this old classmate was. They might even viciously think that he was a poor guy who came to freeload.
Of course, there were no ifs in this world. Tao Ying appeared and turned everyone's attention to Xiao Zheng. Nicknamed Little Tyrant, he was the most popular person in high school.
"Little Tyrant?"
Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise. He looked at Xiao Zheng with an extremely hurtful gaze and clicked his tongue in wonder. "He's actually Xiao Zheng? How come he doesn't look like him at all? "
"Of course not. He was the most famous person in Pearl High School. Who didn't know that he was good at fighting and studying? Unfortunately, he dropped out in his third year of high school, and there was no news of him after that. "Someone ridiculed. "What a pity. He was obviously a good student, but he gave up on himself. From the looks of it, I don't think he's doing very well. "
The students discussed in low voices, but their faces were full of ridicule, as well as a hint of schadenfreude.
Most of them were ignored during their high school years. Their academic performance was average, and their athletic ability was average. They only knew how to bury themselves in their studies all day long, working hard to get into a good university in the future. They didn't dare to waste their precious time, and they didn't dare to drop out of school before the college entrance examination like Xiao Zheng. Their father's earnest teachings and their teacher's exhortations made it clear to them that the college entrance examination was the only way to change their lives. Whether it was quitting school or failing the college entrance examination, it would destroy their already ordinary lives. They worked hard to get into university and did everything they could to get a job with a decent income. They lived a nine-to-five white-collar life in Pearl City, an international metropolis that was envied by their friends and family.
Everything they had now was obtained by sacrificing all of their leisure time. They had put in much more effort and effort than anyone else in order to obtain what they had. They did not pity Xiao Zheng at all, nor did they pity him. They mocked and ridiculed him without any qualms, as if they wanted to vent all the pressure they had endured all these years on Xiao Zheng.
Why not?
When they were wholeheartedly devoted to their studies, Xiao Zheng was either late or left early every day, playing with the famous campus belle between classes, living a campus life that was both envied and discontented. When they were sprinting for the college entrance examination, exhausted and lying on their desks again and again, Xiao Zheng was sleeping in class without a care in the world, playing with the dream goddess of many boys, Zhang Da, during class.
If even this kind of ignorant and incompetent person could have a brighter and happier life than him, then wouldn't the heavens be blind? God was unfair?
They really hoped that Xiao Zheng would live a life worse than a pig or a dog. They were too happy to see Xiao Zheng, who had once made all the boys look dull, down and out. Luckily, Xiao Zheng satisfied all the dark sides in their hearts. This once high and mighty man not only lived a wretched life, he even met Tao Ying, his most glorious old classmate.
Everyone had an attitude of taking pleasure in Tao Ying's misfortune and watching a good show, hoping that Tao Ying could take revenge on Xiao Zheng for all the hatred from back then. Let them watch a great show.
Of course, Tao Ying did not plan to disappoint them. She was prepared to step on Xiao Zheng and humiliate him.
What enmity did Tao Ying and Xiao Zheng have? What hatred?
Zhang Lan knew, even Blue Heart, who was so low-key that she was ignored, knew. Speaking of which, the story of the two of them was not only known by their classmates, it was also known by the entire school, becoming a joke.
Of course, no one would laugh at Xiao Zheng, who was nicknamed the Little Tyrant, and no one dared to laugh at this prodigy who would start a fight at the slightest disagreement, and whose academic results were so good that even the principal favored him. What people laughed at was Tao Ying, who did not do well in her studies, who liked to fool around, who relied on her beauty to squander her male classmates' living expenses.
What kind of enmity did the two of them form back then? What kind of grudge did they have?
It was a cliché, a melodramatic story that was commonplace in school.
Tao Ying said to her best friends that she would be able to woo her classmate, Xiao Zheng, in three days, and that Xiao Zheng would be willing to use all his living expenses to buy her a pair of Nike running shoes.
In reality, in Tao Ying's three years of high school, no matter if she actively pursued or passively accepted, there had never been a guy who rejected her requests. Not to mention a pair of running shoes, even if she wanted a phone or a computer, there would be people who would give it to her. It was just to have a meal with this school belle, who was not the prettiest, but was the most flirtatious and scheming. They would hold hands and stroll around the school grounds, enjoying the envious gazes of their classmates.
However, Tao Ying finally kicked an iron plate in front of Xiao Zheng and suffered a huge loss. Not to mention buying her a pair of running shoes, Xiao Zheng was not even interested in talking to her. He even stood on the high platform after receiving an award at a school award ceremony and said, "Tao Ying, please don't block me at the school gate in the future. Maybe you think you are beautiful and sexy, but in my eyes, you are just an idiot. Buy you a pair of Nike running shoes? Do you see the slippers on my feet? Are you sure you have such a big face? "
After that day, Tao Ying, who had been pursued by countless boys, became the laughing stock of the school. Even though there were still boys who were interested in her, they did not dare to pursue her in public. They were afraid of being laughed at.
This was how the school was. When an influential figure like Xiao Zheng criticized someone in public, everyone would stay away from him. It was a terrible direction of public opinion and a terrible celebrity effect.
Tonight, Tao Ying wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the past and return them to Xiao Zheng ten times and a hundred times more!
