Chapter 313: Chapter 245: Not Going Back Yet
The content of the message was Sheng Qianmei asking if something had happened and why he hadn’t gone back home so late.
Liu Wentian chuckled, dialed Sheng Qianmei’s mobile number, and almost instantly, the call connected.
On the other end, Sheng Qianmei’s somewhat worried, chilly voice came through, “Liu Wentian, where are you, why haven’t you come back yet??”
As she spoke, she carefully added, “I hope my message didn’t disturb you?? If you’re busy, then—”
Her tone sounded like a little wife afraid of being blamed.
Liu Wentian interrupted her with a laugh, “It didn’t disturb. Do you want some late-night snacks?? There’s someone selling spicy hot pot near me, and I remembered I seemed to have treated you to spicy hot pot before. I wonder if the cold beauty would still want to eat spicy hot pot with cold beer?”
Sheng Qianmei clearly paused, then shyly replied, “If you buy it, I’ll eat.”
Recalling the last time they had spicy hot pot, Liu Wentian had fed her with his chopsticks, causing Sheng Qianmei’s face to burn hot and her heart to pound erratically.
That feeling was strange and also a bit sweet.
Liu Wentian packed up some spicy hot pot, though he didn’t buy beer as the hotel he was staying at supplied it.
He hailed a taxi, returned to the hotel, and just as he was about to walk into the elevator, a surprised voice came from the side.
“Liu Wentian?? Is that you, Liu Wentian?? What are you doing here??”
Liu Wentian stopped in his tracks, puzzled, looking in the direction of the voice, feeling that it sounded familiar, yet couldn’t quite remember who it was.
When he saw a tall, burly man with heavy brows, a surprised smile spread across his face, “Zhiqiang?? What are you doing here??”
Wang Zhiqiang, his close friend from high school—they used to skip walls, classes, stay up at night, and fight together.
He had been a typical underachiever who loved to have fun and had poor grades, whereas Wang Zhiqiang, despite also loving fun, studied hard and had good grades.
After graduating high school, Liu Wentian went back to the village, while Wang Zhiqiang went on to university in Guangyang City. The two hadn’t seen each other for years and unexpectedly met here today.
Despite not seeing each other for many years, when they met now, they still felt very familiar and affectionate.
Wang Zhiqiang jokingly beat him, “Damn, it’s really you. It was me who asked first, so why are you asking me? You slick guy, it shows from the details!!”@@novelbin@@
Liu Wentian also returned the banter, “Bullshit, you’re the slick one. Back then, we skipped class together, and damn it, you sneaked in some study time without me noticing and even got into university, betraying our brotherhood!!”
“You’re the one talking nonsense, when did I ever sneak in study time back then?? I had to supervise your studies just so I could help you cheat during exams, just so you could go home and report in!! If it weren’t for me, you’d be bringing home failed exams every semester, and inevitably get a thrashing from your old man!!”
The two of them continued to verbally spar, and while the people around looked at them with weird and disdainful eyes, they were unaffected, feeling a warm current in their hearts.
This kind of brotherly affection is hard for outsiders to understand.
After a while of joking around, Wang Zhiqiang turned serious, laughed, and said, “So you finally stopped holing up in that little village of yours?? Come on, a man should indeed come out and see the world! Are you planning to develop a career here in Guangyang City??”
Liu Wentian shook his head, laughed, and said, “Came here for some business, I’m currently working over in Shenming City.”
“That’s also good, Shenming is a good place.”
Having said that, Wang Zhiqiang, pulling Liu Wentian along, moved towards a certain direction, laughing, “Tonight really is a coincidence, a few of our high school classmates are gathered here, just out for a meet-up. Man, I came out to throw up a bit from drinking too much and ended up meeting you, seems like it’s fate that we all gather together. Haha!!”
Liu Wentian stopped, chuckled bitterly, “High school classmates?? Forget it, it’s been so long, and back in high school, I was only really close to you.”
Wang Zhiqiang forcefully pulled at Liu Wentian, but felt like he was pulling a huge rock, immovable, slightly surprised but finally stopped and smiled gently, “Since we’ve met, let’s join them for a bit, eat something, sing a song, just chat casually. They’re all old classmates, now that we’ve met, we should at least say hello, right?”
On mentioning this, his serious, square face turned mischievous, “Remember the class beauty who once sent you a love letter? She’s here too, perhaps you two can rekindle an old flame, and now she’s a powerful woman. If you get with her, you might as well be set for an easy life!!”
Liu Wentian’s corners of his mouth twitched, this guy, even after a few years of university, was still as coy as ever, he scolded jokingly, “You coy guy, quit your nonsense!!”
However, Liu Wentian’s mind did recall a pretty face, though its features were somewhat blurry, he clearly remembered her pure, delicate demeanor.
Sun Xiaoran, the class beauty in high school. Once, an older school bully barged into their class demanding she be his girlfriend. Sun Xiaoran refused, and he then threatened her, saying she’d never be able to study peacefully again, he wouldn’t let her be!!
Sun Xiaoran, coming from a poor family, was very diligent and topped the class. The bully’s disturbances could potentially ruin her future.
At that time, Liu Wentian immediately flared up, stood up abruptly, grabbed a chair, and before the bully could react, he smashed it on his back!!
