The people Ai Weinan had invited to the hotel KTV were all their high school classmates. Mei Xiawen had been their class rep since junior high.
Everyone was familiar with each other and knew that Mei Xiawen loved crowds and organizing school activities.
Seeing that no one objected, the male classmate picked up his phone and called Mei Xiawen.
At that moment, Mei Xiawen and Gu Nianzhi were eating ice cream in a dessert shop on C University's campus.
Gu Nianzhi had a box of Haagen-Dazs grape ice cream in front of her. She used a small spoon to slowly eat as she looked at Mei Xiawen's pale face. "You've lost weight. Where did you go? Didn't you rest well? "
Mei Xiawen rubbed his chin. He didn't eat the ice cream in front of him. He asked for a cup of hot coffee. "I didn't go anywhere for the past two weeks. I was sick at home. Otherwise I would've gone looking for you. "
"You're sick?" Gu Nianzhi froze. The spoon in her hand froze. "What's wrong? Are you feeling better? "
"I'm better now. It's just a fever. I'm probably tired and got caught in the rain." Mei Xiawen reached out to hold Gu Nianzhi's hand. "What about you? Are you okay? "
Gu Nianzhi looked delicate and soft, especially with her pointy chin, which always gave people the illusion that she was too fragile to stand up to the wind.
She was actually very healthy. Chen Lie, who often gave her checkups, knew this best.
Of course, outsiders wouldn't know.
Gu Nianzhi withdrew her hand and propped her head on the table. She shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm not sick. I was just really sleepy. I slept until noon the next day when I got home. "
When she woke up, she instinctively called Huo Shaoheng, who was far away in the Imperial Capital.
And then, there was no "and then" …
Huo Shaoheng was gone for two weeks. He didn't call back, nor did he come back.
Gu Nianzhi propped her head up absentmindedly. She held a small spoon and stirred the ice cream in the tub. She almost turned the tub into a creamy paste.
From Mei Xiawen's angle, he could see the silhouette of Gu Nianzhi's long eyelashes from the side. They were thick and long, half covering her mesmerizing eyes. He couldn't tell what she was thinking.
True beauties were always good-looking, even when they were distracted.
Mei Xiawen stared at her with a smile until his phone suddenly rang. Both of them snapped back to reality.
Gu Nianzhi immediately looked down at her phone and realized it wasn't her ringtone.
Mei Xiawen paused. It was his phone.
The caller was a male high school classmate.
Mei Xiawen stood up and nodded at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, I'll take a call outside."
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head at him. "Please."
The dessert shop was actually quite quiet. Although it wasn't explicitly forbidden to make phone calls, it wasn't good to ruin the quiet environment.
Mei Xiawen walked out with his phone in hand.
"Class leader? What are you doing? "The male student's voice came from the phone.
"It's you." Mei Xiawen smiled and put his hands in his pockets. "Why did you call me?"
"It's like this, Weinan came to visit us from Z city. He invited a dozen of his high school classmates to karaoke. Everyone said we couldn't miss Class Leader, so I volunteered to call you. " The male student was very enthusiastic. "Class Leader, everyone's looking at me. You can't not give me face. Also, we're graduating soon and everyone will be going their separate ways. Don't you want to get together? "
Mei Xiawen knew that Ai Weinan loved crowds and had been very popular in high school. That was why she could get so many classmates to karaoke with her so easily.
He turned around and looked at Gu Nianzhi through the large glass window in the dessert shop.
She was still supporting her head with her hand, but she wasn't stirring her ice cream anymore.
"… How long are you guys going to hang out? I'll see if I have time." Mei Xiawen didn't want to leave Gu Nianzhi and hesitated.
"Class Leader! Just come over! What are you doing? If you have other classmates, bring them along! Weinan is paying, she said the more the merrier! "
Mei Xiawen saw that Gu Nianzhi was bored and wanted to take her out to have some fun. He agreed. "Ok, where are you guys? Send me the address. "
The male student knew that Mei Xiawen had a car so he could just send the address.
Mei Xiawen received the address and saw that it was a hotel not too far from campus.
He turned to walk into the dessert shop and asked Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, do you want to go karaoke with me?"
"Oh?" Gu Nianzhi sat up straight. "But I can't sing."
"That's fine, I'm fine as long as I can sing." Mei Xiawen reached out to pull her up. "A group of my high school classmates are singing at a KTV near our campus. They asked me to go. Let's go together."
Hearing Mei Xiawen mention his high school classmates, Gu Nianzhi immediately thought of Ai Weinan, whom she had seen on her way back to campus.
Ai Weinan was almost certain to be among the classmates who were singing.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to get involved with Mei Xiawen's high school classmates.
They were classmates, but she wasn't. She felt like a stranger among them. It was awkward.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi hadn't thought about the main reason. She just subconsciously didn't want to see Ai Weinan.
Every time she saw the girl use the excuse of being a "good friend" to hide her feelings for Mei Xiawen, Gu Nianzhi felt sick for her.
Just say it out loud if you like someone, what's there to be embarrassed about?
Mei Xiawen was so gentlemanly and didn't eat people up …
Gu Nianzhi despised him, but she only thought about it in her mind. She wouldn't say it out loud.
She stood up and grabbed her phone. Shaking her head, she refused. "Since it's a high school reunion, I won't go. Go ahead, and remember to come back early. "She reached out and gently brushed Mei Xiawen's shirt, as if it was covered in dust.
The dessert shop was actually very clean. Mei Xiawen's snow-white T-shirt didn't have a speck of dust on it.
Mei Xiawen didn't insist. He held her hand and walked out with her. "I'll take you back first, then go see them. These guys always cause a ruckus. I hope they don't go overboard today. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and didn't say anything. She slowly walked back to her dorm room and waved at Mei Xiawen as he drove away.
When she returned to the dorm, her three roommates were quite surprised to see her.
"Why are you back so early? It's not even nine yet. "
Gu Nianzhi grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom to shower. She said, "It's Xiawen's high school reunion. He's leaving."
"Tsk tsk tsk, a high school reunion. We haven't even gotten together with our college classmates yet …" Little Temptress clicked her tongue and continued scrolling through Weibo to catch up on the trending topics.
Gu Nianzhi took a shower and crawled into bed.
She held her laptop and listened to music with her headphones as she revised her thesis.
Before she knew it, it was almost eleven o 'clock. The lights were about to go out when she remembered to look at her phone.
Mei Xiawen hadn't sent her a message.
At the same time, in the hotel garden, Ai Weinan called Mei Xiawen out of the KTV room. She finally mustered up the courage to say to him, "Xiawen, there's something I've been waiting six years to say to you."
