Tentative

Hearing Luo Qing's words, Zhang Nana gave her a puzzled look.In fact, many people looked at her, but Luo Qing didn't continue, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The squad leader and a few other lively people who were class cadres when they were studying talked loudly to create an atmosphere.This was Jiang Yuzhao's first time participating in a class reunion, but he still quickly heard the snobbery from those words.It is nothing more than that whoever develops well will become a network in the future; on the contrary, those who develop poorly will be ridiculed and ridiculed.

Perhaps there are 30 NO.[-] people, and there are only a handful of people who come to meet old friends sincerely.

Not long after, the dishes began to be served one after another.Perhaps their private room was the highlight of the day. The waiters who served the dishes handed over the delicate and delicious dishes one by one before leaving.

Jiang Yuzhao's phone vibrated. He was talking to Ren Bai, but after hurriedly saying "Sorry", he looked down at the phone.

It was Qin Shi who sent the message, probably asking when he will go back or something.

Jiang Yuzhao hadn't thought it through yet, and looked at the content of the message in a daze, but still didn't reply, so he pressed the lock screen.

"Hey, you look so familiar!" Someone from the next table suddenly exclaimed, "Qu Zhe...?"

He turned his head suddenly, and not far from him, the person he had been looking for was bending slightly to put the dishes on the table. Hearing this exclamation, the person didn't seem to be panicked at all, but smiled faintly. She smiled: "I am, long time no see."

"It's Qu Zhe..."

"It's actually Qu Zhe..."

"Haha, isn't it normal for Qu Zhe to be a waiter? Why are you making such a fuss!" Luo Qing said with a smile.Reminiscent of the previous words, she clearly knew that Qu Zhe was here, and deliberately wanted to embarrass him and choose to eat at a restaurant.Jiang Yuzhao stood up suddenly, and knocked down the cup in front of him with too much movement, but Luo Qing didn't seem to notice, and continued: "I heard that Shen Yizhuo is the boss now, why are you not working under Shen Yizhuo, Qu Zhe? "

Qu Zhe was wearing the waiter's overalls, and was about to leave after serving the dishes. Hearing this question, he turned around calmly and said, "Well, I have nothing to do with him."

"Qu Zhe!"

Jiang Yuzhao finally couldn't hold back anymore, he strode forward and grabbed Qu Zhe's hand: "Why are you here?"

"...Hello." Maybe it was unexpected that Jiang Yuzhao would appear at this party, Qu Zhe's face flashed a moment of surprise, and immediately returned to normal, "I work here."

"..." Jiang Yuzhao opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say next.

He once thought about what kind of reaction he would have if he found Qu Zhe again—he would probably run away.According to Qu Zhe's cowardly and timid character, he should have escaped quickly.But now that I really saw it, the person in front of me was still the same as before except for his appearance, his calm and composed expression was like another person.

Ren Bai and Liu Chen looked at each other, and it was Liu Chen who said, "It just so happens that the classmates are having a reunion, Qu Zhe, why don't you stay and have dinner together."

"Uh... yes, yes, Qu Zhe, you have changed a lot from before." The girl with a slightly older personality immediately took up the words, and said enthusiastically, "You have become taller and more handsome."

Qu Zhe looked past Jiang Yuzhao, he smiled, and said naturally: "No, it's still the same...You guys eat, I can't leave during working hours. Take it easy, everyone."

After he finished speaking, he didn't intend to say a few more words to Jiang Yuzhao, so he was about to leave.

"Tsk, I still meet Qu Zhe, I don't even remember him unless you tell me."

"Haha, Qu Zhe, I remembered, the one who always buys breakfast for Jiang Yuzhao, right?"

"And Shen Yizhuo..."

"Why didn't Shen Yizhuo come today?"

"Who can contact him, I only saw him in newspapers afterwards, haha..."

Discussions kept coming into Jiang Yuzhao's ears. Qu Zhe had already left the private room, and he stood there like an idiot.After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Yuzhao suddenly took a step and chased him out.

Several years later, Zhang Nana became more and more beautiful. Looking at the current situation, she knew that Luo Qing had probably arranged this, so she whispered in her ear, "You did it on purpose..."

"Yeah," Luo Qing said indifferently, "I think it's a little funny to see him working as a waiter here."

Zhang Nana pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Qu Zhe!"

When Jiang Yuzhao chased him out, Qu Zhe had already reached the stairs and was about to go down.Hearing his shout, Qu Zhe paused, turned his head to look at him, and immediately smiled just right: "What's the matter?"

"..." Jiang Yuzhao was actually prepared to say something, and said it after seeing Qu Zhe again.But when he saw it, he couldn't say a word.

The wording he had thought up seemed to no longer work for him.He slowed down and walked over, stood still in front of Qu Zhe and said, "...are you okay?"

"Me?" Qu Zhe nodded, "I'm fine."

"Why are you……"

"I want to live, so I work here." Qu Zhe said indifferently, "It's good."

"...You don't have to do this at all!" Jiang Yuzhao raised his voice a little uncontrollably, "You know me...at least you don't have to be a waiter in a restaurant. I can help you do whatever you want."

"But I just want to be a waiter," Qu Zhe said, "Thank you for your kindness."

He also understands Qu Zhe, and he knows Qu Zhe's character. The translation of this sentence means that he doesn't want to do anything.Jiang Yuzhao suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very strange. After taking off his previous clothes of timidity, anxiety, and avoidance, Qu Zhe looked like a stranger.

In the past, Jiang Yuzhao stood on the cloud, reached out to him, and gave him a hand, which seemed to be a very normal thing.He never thought... What if Qu Zhe didn't need him?

Everything is his self-indulgence, perhaps Qu Zhe has never escaped from him.

From the beginning to the end, it was Shen Yizhuo who he wanted to find and escape from.

Realizing this, Jiang Yuzhao felt more and more astringent in his throat, unable to speak.

"If it's okay, I'll go to work first." Qu Zhe smiled at him politely, with a sense of alienation just right, no more and no less, drawing an invisible line between them.

Jiang Yuzhao couldn't say anything to tell him not to leave for the time being. At this moment, a new voice joined them.A sweet female voice came from behind Jiang Yuzhao, and also called out: "Qu Zhe."

"Is there something wrong?" Qu Zhe replied exactly the same.

He turned his head, and it was Zhang Nana who came.Zhang Nana, who used to cry a lot and spoke like a baby, has also changed after these years.Pretty or beautiful, but she is wearing a casual suit, which looks a lot more mature and stable.She has shoulder-length hair, dyed brown red and curled inwards, which has a kind of capable taste, but she looks a little embarrassed when she sees Qu Zhe walking over.Jiang Yuzhao stepped aside, Zhang Nana stopped in front of Qu Zhe, and said, "Do you have time to say something?"

"Huh?" Qu Zhe didn't refuse.

It stands to reason that Qu Zhe should least want to meet Zhang Nana again.

Zhang Nana lowered her head, her sense of embarrassment became more and more obvious: "I've always wanted to tell you, but I never had the chance..."

"what?"

Jiang Yuzhao was listening, and Zhang Nana said, "...I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize?" Qu Zhe still smiled.

"Because..." Zhang Nana raised her head suddenly, "I posted your diary back then."

Zhang Nana was not alone behind that incident, but after so many years, Zhang Nana and Luo Qingsi were no longer on the same line.She looked at Qu Zhe, her eyes flickered, and she looked sincere: "I've always wanted to tell you, I'm sorry...can you forgive me?"

"It's you?" Qu Zhe didn't speak, but Jiang Yuzhao did.He frowned, and said obviously angrily, "You want to apologize, but you deliberately asked Luo Qing to eat here, are you sick?"

"No... I don't know why it's here..." "It's okay."

Zhang Nana hurriedly wanted to explain, but Qu Zhe didn't finish listening, so he interrupted her: "You don't need to apologize, and I won't forgive you either."

Neither of them expected Qu Zhe to say that, and they looked at him in astonishment.

"The previous things are in the past, apology is useless, nothing will change." Qu Zhe said lightly, "I don't need it, so I don't accept it."

"If it's okay, I'll go down and get busy first."

He is so blunt.

Until Qu Zhe went downstairs, Zhang Nana still stood there with a surprised expression.She never thought that this was what Qu Zhe, who was bullied by others back then, would say.Jiang Yuzhao sneered: "Do you think that if you apologize, he will definitely forgive you, and then you will feel better?"

"...It's none of your business." Zhang Nana frowned.

"I don't care about my business, but if Shen Yizhuo knows the truth, it should be very interesting." After Jiang Yuzhao finished speaking, he turned and walked to the private room.

The way Qu Zhe spoke just now was exactly the same as Shen Yizhuo.Whether it's the indifferent tone, the just-right smile, or the frank and fearless, even numb eyes, they are all the same.

He had obviously been separated from Shen Yizhuo for a long time, and he hadn't spent as much time with Shen Yizhuo as he had with himself.But why, the longer he was away, the more he looked like Shen Yizhuo.

What was thought to be an exciting reunion turned out to be a daunting alienation.

Jiang Yuzhao found an excuse to end this awkward and boring class reunion early. When he was downstairs, he asked the manager about when the waiters would leave work.

Before the experience answered, Qu Zhe had already passed him with a new dish, as if he was going to serve the guests at other tables.When passing by Jiang Yuzhao, he said softly, "Wait here for me, I'll be right over." He left without stopping after speaking.

Jiang Yuzhao nodded blankly, and really stood there waiting.

About 2 minutes later, Qu Zhe took him to the back door of the hotel.The two of them stood at the back door, Qu Zhe took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a puff calmly and said, "What can I do for you?"

"... Yes." After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yuzhao still affirmed.

"If you can't finish talking in a while, just wait until I get off work." Qu Zhe said, shaking the cigarette in his hand, "I can only skip work for one cigarette."

"Okay, what time do you get off work?"

"I'm at ten o'clock at night."

"Then I'll pick you up."

Qu Zhe continued to smoke, and said with a long sigh of relief: "...Why are you back?"

"Come back and do something."

"Oh, like this."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Yuzhao almost thought that he was talking to Shen Yizhuo, and a kind of physical disgust spread in his heart.He endured and continued: "I have a lot to say to you."

"Well, let's talk about it that night." Qu Zhe said, but started another topic, "I met Teacher Li before."

"Li Tuzhi?"

"Well, do you know what he's doing now?"

"...Not a teacher anymore?"

"No more," Qu Zhe said directly, not wanting to show off, "He opened a card shop."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Yuzhao was very surprised—a person like Li Tuzhi, who was full of the sour smell of a scholar, could actually open a card shop?Every day in such a worldly place?No matter how you think about it, it feels impossible.Qu Zhe seemed to have expected his unbelievability a long time ago. He smiled, took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, and then pressed it against the wall.

"Jiang Yuzhao, I know what you want to say... People change." Qu Zhe said, "I am also a human being."
