A shiny black Bentley was parked steadily at the school gate. The uniformed driver opened the rear door. A middle-aged man got out of the car and stood at the beginning of the red carpet.
"Mr. Zhang!" A school leader in charge of reception immediately greeted him and extended his hands to the man with a smile. "Welcome back to your alma mater for the centennial celebration of Binhai Middle School!"
The middle-aged man shook hands with him and said with a smile, "It's my honor."
Several reporters rushed out from the side and pressed the shutter of the two desperately. There were also cameramen shooting.
Two primary school students in the uniform of Binhai Affiliated Primary School came over and gave flowers to the middle-aged man.
Zhang Longda was a well-known alumnus of Binhai Middle School. He was a well-known entrepreneur in Binhai and had founded a company with assets of more than one billion. It was reasonable for him to receive such a grand reception.
Accompanied by the school leader, Zhang Longda stepped on the red carpet and walked toward the signature wall. Reporters followed and took photos along the way.
Then, another Mercedes-Benz stopped.
This scene made Lu Chen feel like he was holding a movie or music award ceremony. It was more or less a little weird. But in the current environment, many schools often made a big deal of the celebration in order to increase their popularity and tried their best to invite famous alumni to participate.
Those who could step on the red carpet were naturally the best.
Lu Chen was among them. Originally, the school offered to provide a special car, but he declined.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen did not join in the fun and went straight in from the side door.
He had an invitation in hand, so naturally, he was unimpeded. Because he was wearing sunglasses, the staff in charge of the inspection did not recognize him. After a simple inspection, they waved their hands and let him go.
The ceremony was held in the school's auditorium, but it was still early. Lu Chen was not in a hurry to get there. Instead, he walked around the campus.
He had not been back for many years, but the appearance of Binhai Middle School had not changed much. The statue of the girl in the fountain was still there, the thick sycamore tree was still engraved with words, and the path to the laboratory building was still full of leaves …
Today was Sunday, and there were very few students on campus. However, in the quiet corner, students could be seen studying diligently. The familiar scene reminded Lu Chen of bits and pieces of memories.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the third teaching block. He walked up the stairs and arrived at the classroom of Class 5 on the fourth floor.
The classroom door was unlatched, and Lu Chen pushed it open and walked in.
The classroom was quiet, and the desks were neatly arranged. There were no students around, except for a woman who was looking at the drawings on the blackboard.
She was wearing a plain white dress. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her silky black hair fell over her shoulders. She turned around when she heard the door being pushed open.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "Old Monitor?"
This beautiful woman was the class monitor of Lu Chen's high school, Ban Beibei. Although they hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years and she had grown up and matured a lot, Lu Chen still recognized her at a glance.
Ban Beibei furrowed her beautiful brows, revealing a puzzled expression.
Lu Chen took off his sunglasses and said with a smile, "It's me."
"Lu Chen!"
Ban Beibei suddenly showed a surprised smile, "Why are you here?"
Lu Chen walked over and said with a smile, "I calculated with my fingers and knew that you were here, so I came to find you. Are you touched?"
Ban Beibei smiled and said, "I'm really touched. You are a big star now. I often hear your name in the UK, and I know how famous you are."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "That's all empty. How are you in the UK?"
It was natural to be surprised and sentimental when they reunited after a long time. The relationship between the two was very good. Ban Beibei's father and Lu Chen's father were business friends, and she had attended the funeral of Lu Chen's father.
However, after graduating from high school, Ban Beibei's family emigrated to the UK, and she also went to college in the UK. Therefore, they lost contact, but the friendship between them did not fade with the passage of time.
Ban Beibei studied in the UK and got a master's degree. Now she was working in a Fortune 500 company. This time, she received an invitation from the school, so she came back from the UK to attend the school anniversary.
"I also want to see my old classmate. Xiao Lirong told me that she saw you last night …"
The two sat down to chat, and they were still sitting in the same seats, separated by an aisle. Ban Beibei's eyes were bright, "Are you coming to the class reunion tonight?"
Lu Chen said, "If I have time, I will definitely come. I also want to see Fang Jian, Zhao Lincheng, Li Yuan and the others …"
Ban Beibei teased, "I know you are a busy person now. You don't even use QQ."
Lu Chen blushed with shame. "I changed my QQ number. Add me."
After exchanging new QQ numbers, Ban Beibei asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Are you still in contact with Xiao Man?"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I haven't been in contact for a long time …"
Ban Beibei said as if she was talking to herself, "She is doing well now. She opened her own company in the deep sea, and I heard that it is doing well …"
Lu Chen listened silently, but his thoughts flew back to his youth many years ago.
Gu Xiaoman was Ban Beibei's deskmate, and also Lu Chen's first girlfriend. Their relationship was quite sensational at Binhai Middle School at that time. Unfortunately, like most young love, this beautiful relationship did not come to fruition.
Lu Chen still remembered that when he secretly went on a date with Gu Xiaoman, he asked Ban Beibei to help cover for him.
Now that he thought about it, it was really a different feeling in his heart.
Lu Chen did not have the idea of going back to his old love. His heart had been filled by Chen Fei 'er, but the memory of his first love had long been engraved in his soul, and he could not forget it for the rest of his life.
Now that he heard news about Gu Xiaoman and knew that she was doing well, it was enough.
Lu Chen asked, "Old Monitor, do you have a boyfriend in the UK?"
Ban Beibei laughed, "No, I don't like British boys. Why? Do you want to introduce me? "
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, "I really don't have anything to recommend."
The two chatted and laughed, and talked about many things in the past until someone came to the classroom.
"Hey, you guys?"
The person who came was in her fifties or sixties, with gray temples and an old face. Her clothes were very simple, but when they saw her, Lu Chen and Ban Beibei stood up together and said, "Teacher Kong!"
This was Lu Chen's former class teacher, and also the language teacher!
Teacher Kong looked at the two of them in a daze, and after a moment, she suddenly showed a look of understanding, "Lu Chen, Ban Beibei!"
Lu Chen and Ban Beibei smiled at each other and greeted together, "Hello, Teacher Kong!"
At this moment, it was as if they had returned to the past.
