Chapter 1000
The Gathering Two Years Later
Bai Susu's high school homeroom teacher was surnamed Liu. She was a kind-looking old lady who liked top students like Bai Susu when they were in school, so she was very enthusiastic about Bai Susu.
After hearing Bai Susu's words, Teacher Liu smiled and said, "Susu, that girl still has such a sweet tongue, and her words are still so comforting to hear. But I'm over sixty years old now, and I'm getting old, unlike you young people who are always so energetic!"
Bai Susu said with a smile, "Teacher Liu, although you are old, you don't look old at all. You must have been exercising every day since you retired!"
Teacher Liu said with a smile, "Yes, after retiring, I have nothing to do, so I can only pass the time by exercising."
Bai Susu said, "Exercising is good; it can make people feel happy. I wish you a long and healthy life!"
The two teachers and students, who hadn't seen each other for many years, chatted warmly as soon as they met.
Teacher Liu looked at Bai Susu with a kind expression, and then asked Xu Bo'an behind Bai Susu, "Susu, who is this?"
Bai Susu answered somewhat shyly after hearing Teacher Liu's question, "Oh, this is my boyfriend, his name is Xu Bo'an!"
Teacher Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing Bai Susu's introduction, but quickly recovered and smiled at Xu Bo'an, saying, "Hello, hello, Susu was one of the top students in our class back then, with excellent academic performance. You are so lucky to have a girlfriend like Susu! You must cherish her!"
The reason why Teacher Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing Bai Susu's words was because today's class reunion was actually organized by Gu Mingchuan himself, and all the expenses of the reunion were paid by Gu Mingchuan. Gu Mingchuan was worried that Bai Susu would not attend the class reunion, so he specially asked Teacher Liu to contact Bai Susu.
How could Teacher Liu not understand Gu Mingchuan's actions? Back in school, Teacher Liu had already seen through Gu Mingchuan's intentions towards Bai Susu. However, since both of them were top students with excellent academic performance, the teacher had never spoken to either of them. Only those students whose grades had seriously declined due to early romantic relationships would be called in for a private talk by the teacher.
Teacher Liu roughly understands the situation between Bai Susu and Gu Mingchuan. She knows very well that Gu Mingchuan is obviously trying to get back together with Bai Susu, but now that Bai Susu has a boyfriend, Gu Mingchuan's plan is probably going to fail.
Teacher Liu couldn't help but feel sorry for them. After all, Gu Mingchuan and Bai Susu were his favorite students. In Teacher Liu's heart, Gu Mingchuan and Bai Susu were a perfect match. But even if he felt a little regretful, what could he do? He couldn't really say anything about the affairs between young people.
Gu Mingchuan contacted her today because he wanted her to mediate between the two of them, and under these circumstances, she could only do her best.
A short while later, Gu Mingchuan and Su Lingyi arrived. However, the way Gu Mingchuan and Su Lingyi made their entrance surprised the students. Teacher Liu was even more confused when she saw the two of them, because Su Lingyi was holding Gu Mingchuan's arm tightly with one hand!
In everyone's mind, Su Lingyi is a spoiled and arrogant young lady, which doesn't match Gu Mingchuan's aloof personality at all. Besides, they are all classmates and they know each other quite well from their school days. It's common knowledge that Su Lingyi likes Gu Mingchuan, but Gu Mingchuan is too lazy to pay attention to her and always focuses his attention on Bai Susu.
Even if Gu Mingchuan and Bai Susu broke up, he would still look for a gentle and kind girl like Bai Susu when he dated someone else, and he would definitely not choose a spoiled girl like Su Lingyi as his girlfriend. Gu Mingchuan ignored the strange looks he was getting from everyone. Although he wasn't staring directly at Bai Susu, he was keeping an eye on her every move out of the corner of his eye.
He caught a glimpse of Bai Susu's expression when she saw him. After a brief greeting to her classmate, she went straight to sit down next to Teacher Liu.
Gu Mingchuan was very tall, and his long legs allowed him to walk very fast. Su Lingyi, on the other hand, was of average height. If she were to walk normally, she would not be able to keep up with Gu Mingchuan's pace at all. She jogged to keep up with Gu Mingchuan, and only after she saw him sit down did she sit down next to him.
Bai Susu and Gu Mingchuan sat on either side of Teacher Li, while Xu Bo'an and Su Lingyi sat next to them respectively.
Seeing that most of the students had arrived, Teacher Li greeted them warmly, saying, "It's been so many years since I've seen you all. It's so nice to see you all again. Let's raise a glass and wish you all a good meal, drinks, and fun today!"
After hearing what Teacher Li said, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and celebrated the second decade since graduating from high school.
Next, everyone had time to eat, drink, and chat freely.
At this moment, Li Meijia walked up to Su Lingyi and Gu Mingchuan first, excitedly grabbed Su Lingyi's hand and said to her, "Lingyi, I saw you holding Gu Mingchuan's arm the whole time. Does that mean there's something going on between you two?"
Upon hearing Li Meijia's words, Su Lingyi happily replied, "Of course! You know Gu Mingchuan's personality; he generally doesn't let women get close. I've already linked arms with him, isn't that obvious? We're already boyfriend and girlfriend!"
Su Lingyi raised her voice when she said the last sentence, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't hear her.
After hearing Su Lingyi's words, everyone looked at her with strange eyes. Most of the boys found it unbelievable. Although Su Lingyi's family was well-off and she wasn't as naturally beautiful as Bai Susu, it was still easy to see that she was quite pretty.
However, Su Lingyi's personality is really unlikable. Most people would not like her arrogant and domineering personality. Only people like Li Meijia, who want to please and flatter her, would be friends with her.
Upon hearing Su Lingyi's reply, Li Meijia was overjoyed and congratulated her, saying, "Lingyi, congratulations on your wish coming true! I wish you a long and happy marriage, and many children!"
Su Lingyi was overjoyed to hear Li Meijia's blessing. She had always dreamed of being with Gu Mingchuan, and today her wish had finally come true. She was filled with immense happiness. (End of Chapter)
