Cheng Jin obviously didn't believe it, his mouth was wide open, and he turned his head to ask Ruan Qiuchi for confirmation. Ruan Qiuchi's eyes were bright, but his expression was calm, and he didn't refute.

The astonishment in Cheng Jin's eyes became reality, and he wished dryly: "Then I wish you happiness."

Lin Mu also imitated Ruan Qiuchi, and said calmly, "Thank you."

When she was in high school, Cheng Jin was her front desk, and she liked to compare with others, for example, comparing her grades and family background with her classmates. There was no major problem with her character, and she also liked to gossip.

Cheng Jin secretly sized up Lin Mu. He was wearing a thick beige lambswool jacket, black jeans, and Martin boots. He had a good figure and a relatively immature appearance. He also had the most obedient straight black hair. He looked very young no matter how young he was.

She pretended to ask Ruan Qiuchi casually: "Your girlfriend should be quite young, right?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "Well, she is only 22 years old this year."

Lin Mu immediately turned to look at Ruan Qiuchi. Although there was no obvious expression change on his face, he could still see a trace of loss and envy.

Lin Mu: "Actually, I don't think age is a problem, as long as we like each other."

Lin Mu felt that she was getting more and more courageous, relying on A Ruan's liking, she could do whatever she wanted.

Cheng Jin echoed: "That's true. As long as you like each other, age difference is not a problem. I've always heard that Qiu Chi is single, but I didn't expect you to secretly find a girlfriend."

But she was muttering in her heart that Ruan Qiuchi not only had a girlfriend, but also a girlfriend who was so many years younger than her. This was simply the biggest news I heard when I went back to my hometown this year.

She made sure to share it with her sisters right away.

She lowered her expression and asked, "Qiu Chi, are you coming to this year's class reunion?"

A high school reunion from 20 years ago?Lin Mu thought to himself: Even if we meet again, everyone has changed a lot, so no one should know anyone, right?

Ruan Qiuchi looked at Lin Mu and said, "Depending on the time, I may not be able to participate."

Cheng Jin said: "I organized this party. Our class 2000 students will meet again after 20 years. When you come with your girlfriend, it must be very lively."

Ruan Qiuchi: "Yes."

The two left their contact information and parted ways. Cheng Jin remembered that when they were chatting just now, her son had been listening by the side. Now that the Internet is developed, women and men can't be bad.

"It's not right," she cautioned.

Then turn around and share this matter with the sister group.

"Guess who I met today?"

"Who?"

"Ruan Qiuchi, do you know that Ruan Qiuchi has a girlfriend and is still a student."

"Fuck! The legendary old cow eats tender grass?"

"Anyway, it's very tender, and it looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it."

"Ruan Qiuchi is gay? I remember that she was very obedient in high school and had a very boring personality. She always sat in a corner by herself. Later, she got very close to a repeater. What was that person's name? I can't remember." gone."

"I can't remember either."

"It seems the surname is Lin, I forgot."

The topic suddenly went astray, and the news that Ruan Qiuchi's old cow was eating young grass spread all of a sudden.

After Cheng Jin left, Lin Mu was a little apprehensive and secretly happy. Ruan Qiuchi didn't deny their relationship, because she was indeed Ruan Qiuchi's girlfriend.

They didn't break up back then.

She was still a little bit lost. After chatting for a long time, Cheng Jin didn't recognize her. Fortunately, Cheng Jin was not an important person, but after thinking about it, there was still a feeling of being forgotten.

But... as long as Ruan Qiuchi still remembers her, Lin Mu quickly adjusted his mentality.

Ruan Qiuchi had a panoramic view of Lin Mu's expression changes, and finally reminded her: "Don't say such misleading words next time."

Ruan Qiuchi took what she said as a joke?Or pretend not to understand?Lin Mu was a little unconvinced: "You are my girlfriend."

"I..." Ruan Qiuchi lowered his head and said, "I'm 38 years old."

Soon to be forty, fifty... maybe not so long, anyway, she will be old soon.

Lin Mu: "You can have a girlfriend at the age of 38."

Ruan Qiuchi looked at her helplessly and said, "Your roasted sweet potatoes are getting cold, do you still want to go shopping?"

Ruan Qiuchi chose to avoid the topic?But at least he didn't refute this relationship, Lin Mu felt warm in his heart, and told himself to take his time.

She broke open the already cooling sweet potato and ate it spoon by spoon: "It's so sweet."

Ruan Qiuchi said: "This is sweet potato. If you like it, we can bake it at home, and the oven can also produce the same effect."

Lin Mu: "Yes."

She was full after eating a little. Fortunately, when she bought it, she bought a small portion.

Lin Mu and Ruan Qiuchi looked around together.

There are nearby students playing basketball on the playground. The lawn is already withered and yellow, and a teaching building is being renovated behind it. The walls are painted with the latest murals, which have not been exposed to the wind and sun. The saturation is high and the colors are bright.

Lin Mu subconsciously analyzed the color structure and perspective of the wall painting, and said, "Ah Ruan, you stand there, and I'll take a picture for you."

Ruan Qiuchi walked over. She was wearing a taupe-colored woolen coat, with long legs and a slender waist, easily entering the mirror.

Lin Mu held up his mobile phone to take pictures of Ruan Qiuchi, and Ruan Qiuchi looked a little nervous under the camera.

Lin Mu: "Shall we take a picture together?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "Yes."

Lin Mu raised his phone and leaned towards Ruan Qiuchi, and the two took a group photo side by side.

Ruan Qiuchi: "Send me the photo later."

"Okay." Lin Mu finally found the feeling before, she dominates everything, she is no longer timid, the only difference is that Ruan Qiuchi relied on her before, but now Ruan Qiuchi indulges her.

After visiting the school, go to the supermarket to buy new year's goods.

Lin Mu originally thought that Ruan Qiuchi spent the New Year alone these years and was not very familiar with buying new year's goods, but Ruan Qiuchi was very experienced.

Lin Mu said: "We will spend all the festivals in the future together."

Ruan Qiuchi smiled lightly: "Okay."

Ruan Qiuchi pushed the shopping cart, and Lin Mu put all the New Year's goods he had chosen into it, such as nuts, red envelopes, couplets... No matter what she chose, Ruan Qiuchi would agree, and there were a lot of things at the checkout. Fortunately, they drove.

Lin Mu: "I also want to learn to drive."

Ruan Qiuchi: "You are learning to draw now, and you don't have time to learn to drive. Let's talk about it later."

Lin Mu: "Okay."

Back home, Cheng Jin sent a message to Ruan Qiuchi, the class reunion time has been set, Ruan Qiuchi asked: "Do you want to go?"

Lin Mu thought for a while: "I want to see their changes, although I may not even know them anymore."

Her previous social identity was a student, and the people she was most familiar with were her classmates. Meeting her classmates could increase her sense of participation in this society, otherwise she always felt that she came from the outside world.

Ruan Qiuchi: "Then let's go."

Lin Mu asked: "Have you participated in the class reunion?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "Participated once."

Lin Mu: "Do you think I should change my name? It would be bad if people recognized me."

Ruan Qiuchi: "I can't recognize it."

She was telling the truth. Unless the classmates from 20 years ago kept in touch with each other, they basically couldn't even remember their faces. Moreover, Lin Mu's dress 20 years ago was nothing like what he is now.

Lin Mu also realized that when she was in high school, she liked to straighten her hair, and her thin oblique bangs almost covered her eyes. Although it wasn't too unconventional, to be honest...it was very rustic.

She suddenly remembered that on December 12th, she woke up in Ruan Qiuchi's bedroom, and she didn't know how Ruan Qiuchi recognized her at a glance.

The scene Lin Mu thought about made his scalp tingle with embarrassment, and he could pick out three rooms and one living room with his toes.

She scratched her hair: "Ah Ruan, I want to dye my hair."

The straight black hair is too obedient, always looks young, and even the next generation with Ruan Qiuchi.

Ruan Qiuchi: "Well, what color do you like?"

Lin Mu had thought about it a long time ago: "Cold brown, I saw it is very popular on the Internet, and I want to curl my hair a bit, like yours."

Ruan Qiuchi: "Okay."

The class reunion was held in a hotel. Lin Mu wore a new hairstyle just done yesterday. When he arrived at the hotel, he found that there were only about thirty people including his family members.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it happens that they all go back to their hometown, otherwise they may not even be able to make up thirty.

Everyone has changed a lot, some are bald, some are protruding, Lin Mu wanted to match their names with the classmates in his memory, but found it difficult.

Cheng Jin, as the party organizer, greatly reflects her annual salary. The hotel she chooses is very grand, and the experience is very good with self-service ordering.

Cheng Jin: "Ruan Qiuchi is here, everyone come and welcome the great writer."

Ruan Qiuchi was very comfortable with this identity, and smiled slightly.

Cheng Jin pulled Lin Mu and introduced: "This is Ruan Qiuchi's girlfriend, by the way, what's your name?"

"Lin Mu." Lin Mu thought about it, and didn't hide her identity. She graduated only two years ago, and basically has an impression of her high school classmates, but the others have 20 years, so they probably have no impression of her.

Several people who had long known that Ruan Qiuchi had talked about his girlfriend now pretended to be surprised, and then began to exchange polite greetings.

Lin Mu observed secretly nearby, and many of the students had changed drastically. The former squad leader had already gone bald, and he still combed the left side of his hair to the right, trying to cover the light spot in the middle.The sports committee member who used to have eight-pack abs now has a big belly.

Lin Mu asked, "Where's the study committee member?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "She died of cancer."

Lin Mu sighed in his heart. In high school, the study committee had a good relationship with her, but they seldom contacted her after entering university.

On the surface, the peaceful gathering actually hides all kinds of gossip and exchange of interests.

Lin Mugu held his chin deeply, remembering that sentence: The essence of gatherings for adults is to exchange contacts and exchange various resources.

She and Ruan Qiuchi sat together to eat dessert, and people came to say hello to Ruan Qiuchi one after another.

"I heard that you are a screenwriter now? I wrote a script, can you read it for me?"

"Sorry, I'm an amateur."

"Is the copyright fee for selling books very expensive?"

Lin Mu raised her ears, she also wanted to know.

"It depends on the situation and the channel."

After dealing with a bunch of old classmates who were interested in writing and screenwriting, Lin Mu leaned into Ruan Qiuchi's ear and whispered: "Ah Ruan, I found several classmates I didn't know, even after hearing their names, they shouldn't be from our class. of."

Ruan Qiuchi touched the base of his feverish ear, glanced at it, and thought for a while: "I don't know many people, maybe they changed their names."

It might also be for dinner, Lin Mu added silently.

Instead of being the center of the party, the two of them were on the fringes.

Lin Mu participated in this gathering and wanted to face the changes of the times more intuitively. Not only Ruan Qiuchi, not only her parents, but everything else was changing, and she had to accept the facts.

Knowing that Ruan Qiuchi still cared about him, Lin Mu found it much easier to accept.

She thought she would care about the changes in the world, but in fact, she cared more about Ruan Qiuchi.

"Lin Mu?" A mellow male voice sounded.

Lin Mu was taken aback, and didn't dare to turn around rashly. Why did the tone seem to know him?

She turned her head slowly. She was a man in a suit and leather shoes. The suit was straight, the leather shoes were shiny, the hair was all thinned back, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had no beer belly and had a good temperament. He looked like a successful person.

For a moment, Lin Mu didn't remember who he was, so he could only purse his lips and smile politely: "Hello, I'm Ruan Qiuchi's girlfriend."

The man looked at her: "You look a bit like a classmate of mine, and you have the same name."

Lin Mu pretended to be surprised: "Really?"

Man: "Yes, but she should be 40 years old now, you are younger, maybe my memory is wrong, and something happened to that classmate later, so I didn't come here today."

Lin Mu wondered if they knew each other well?Why can’t she remember: “that’s a pity.”

The man smiled gentlemanly: "Meeting is fate, is it convenient to leave a contact information?"

It turned out that they came to strike up a conversation, but Lin Mu refused decisively, saying, "It's inconvenient."

"Excuse me." The man left awkwardly.

Lin Mu turned to look at Ruan Qiuchi, and found that Ruan Qiuchi was not smiling. Ruan Qiuchi was usually gentle and gentle, but now he looked colder. She was drinking orange juice in small sips.

Lin Mu asked, "Who is he? It looks familiar, but it has changed so much that I can't recognize him."

Ruan Qiuchi said indifferently: "Guan Chao."

Lin Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he compared the man with Guan Chao in his memory.

It's really a big change in men. She didn't recognize that this man with a receding hairline and a bit of a successful man would be the one behind the table who was as thin as a monkey and had a tall cockscomb head.

Lin Mu was most annoyed that Guan Chao always took advantage of the convenience of the back desk, reached out to play with her hair in class, and once even tied her hair in a knot while she was sleeping.

"He still remembers me," she said.

No one mentioned her at the party today.

Ruan Qiuchi pursed his lips: "Because he has a crush on you."

Lin Mu was taken aback again. She spent the whole high school with Ruan Qiuchi and never paid attention to others. She observed Ruan Qiuchi's expression: "Ah Ruan, how do you know?"

Ruan Qiuchi's expression changed: "Guess."
