The knife and fork were lightly placed on the plate, making a small sound.The woman wiped the corners of her lips with a tissue, then took out a lipstick from her handbag and began to apply it carefully.

The blond man noticed the movement on the other side, put his phone away, and when he looked up again, there was a gentle smile on his face, "Are you full? Do you want to order some more desserts, Ms. Tsurushima?"

"I'm already very full. Really, I obviously say that I have to eat seventy percent full, but I can't help but eat a lot every time Tongwujian-kun comes out." Tsurushima Kana shook her head with a smile, her long brown face The hair swayed with the movement, "Monojian-san, I'm really worried that if I continue like this, I will gain weight."

"Well, the data shows that if a woman gains weight, the fat will most likely accumulate in the abdomen first. That is to say, as long as Ms. Tsurushima doesn't wear a navel-baring dress, the fat she grows secretly will not be discovered."

"Ww Monoma-kun...don't make fun of me anymore, shouldn't you say 'it's okay even if you gain weight' or 'you're too skinny, you should eat more'."

"How can it be so easy to say the truth?"

"Pfft, Mr. Wujian is really good at talking."

When Wujian Ningren heard these words, his blue-gray pupils tightened for a moment.

Once, there was also a person who said this kind of thing, his tone was soft and smiling, and his eyes were clear and full.

How much change can seven years bring to a person?Things are not clear, it's just that time flies, and when he comes to his senses, the evaluations of people around him have changed from "speaking poorly" and "cunning" in the past to "smart" and "rational". ".They all believe that Wujian Ningren is a person with high business quotient and who is used to controlling interactions with others. From time to time, he will say a few words that are close but not intimidating, a little teasing, and even a little beating-in order to adjust and People's relatives are far and near, and they are completely at ease.

But only he himself knows how disrespectful he is now when it comes to the matter of that person in his memory.In the past two years, his family seems to have noticed something, so they began to arrange "blind dates" for him one after another. , and then introduce them to "acquaintance" without any explanation.

The Tsurushima Kana in front of him is the fourth woman that Monoga met through the arrangement of his parents. It is worth mentioning that this is already their third "date".

The first three met only once, and never had a follow-up.The Monojian couple knew that the problem was with their son, but they couldn't interfere too much, so they inevitably placed a lot of expectations on this unique Tsurushima Kana.

Wujian Ningren naturally knew what his parents were thinking, and he didn't deliberately confront them, but why?Why is Crane Island different?

He couldn't tell, he couldn't tell if it was because Tsurushima's hair was brown, or because her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent moons when she laughed.Wujian Ningren has never had much patience with people other than the one in his memory, and after so many years, he has only learned how to cover up this impatience in a watertight manner.

But in front of Tsurushima Kana, he was able to calm down rarely, listening to her talk about some trivial things in life in a soft tone.

Thinking of a message he had just received, Wujian Ningren summoned the waiter to pay the bill, and asked casually during the wait: "I will have a class reunion later, does Ms. Hedao want to come together?"

It's just a polite casual mention.

But the woman's eyes brightened a little, "Okay, I also really want to meet Ning Renjun's classmates, they must be very remarkable people."

He even changed his title very naturally.

Wujian Ningren's eyebrows moved slightly, his expression remained unchanged, "Okay."

—Suddenly, there was some resistance.

……

When I arrived at the box that Kazuyo Kento mentioned in the text message, there were already several people inside. They were all familiar faces. Even if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, they had seen them on the news. Now that they get together again, they won’t feel strange at all. feel.

The lights in the box are not very bright, and the colorful light balls are hung on the corner of the top of the wall, spinning continuously with the rhythm of the music, casting shadows of different lengths when hitting people's faces.

Monoma saw Kazuka Kento sitting on a soft leather sofa, whispering to a black-haired woman beside her, with a smile on her face.

With a tight arm, Tsurushima Kana, who was following behind him, took his arm up and shook it slightly, "Ning Renjun, are these all your high school classmates? Do you want to go over and say hello?"

He whispered again, "The three sitting over there...is it the hero Deku, Heartbreaker, and Jiaodong? Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen myself!"

Wu Jian's eyelids trembled, and he forced himself to ignore the three people with a strange atmosphere over there, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously pulled out an arc of disgust: "...annoying, what are they doing here?"

It's not a class.

Crane Island was stunned for a moment, "... Ning Renjun?"

"It's nothing." He walked to the other side, staring straight at Quan Teng, calculating when she would notice him.

The one who turned back first was the black-haired woman who was talking to Kento.

Eyes met, both of them had a meal.

A trace of strangeness quickly slipped from the bottom of Wujian Ningren's heart.

However, before he could get to the bottom of it, he saw the woman raised her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

so familiar.

"Okay, okay, don't drop the golden peas, we Yijia have grown into beautiful women, so don't cry casually."

"...You bastard," the woman with long orange hair choked and thumped gently, "Where have you been all these years? Why have you changed your appearance? If I hadn't seen Class A, I would have had a different relationship with you back then." If the three of you appeared together, I really wouldn't believe that you are Zhixi."

Zhi Xi blinked, "It's a secret."

She lowered her eyes again, "However, Yijia, you really developed well..."

"It's okay, Zhixi, you're as normal as ever, that's easy to recognize."

"……Thank you."

After a second of silence, the two couldn't help laughing again.

Someone opened the door and walked in. Quan Teng saw the person coming, tightened her hand slightly, and lowered his voice: "In recent years, we have missed you very much, Ning Renhe also... Wait, Who's that behind him?"

Zhi Xi turned her head, just in time to meet the visitor.

There was an involuntary exclamation in my heart.

When they first met, she bluntly praised the young man for his good looks. Now that he has not seen him for a long time, he has lost his childishness. His face, which still had a little baby fat back then, has now become the unique outline of an adult man. The ends of his eyes are still the same as in the past, drooping slightly, and there is always a trace of laziness between his raised eyes and lowered brows, which contrasts with the slight smile on his lips, making him look extremely contradictory and unspeakable. .

He has grown into an attractive man.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xi unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the man's normal-looking eyes widen in an instant.

But it was only for a short moment, and the next moment, he had restrained his emotions and walked over here with his female companion.

"Sister, you are really early."

Quan Teng smiled, "I suggest you change your name and introduce us to the beauty next to you."

She turned her eyes to the brown-haired woman's face, and her expression became gentle, "Hi, I'm Wujian Ningren's high school classmate, Kazuyo Kento."

Kana Tsurushima took a small step forward holding the man's arm, showing a polite smile: "Hello, I'm Kana Tsurushima...I'm Ning Renjun's girlfriend. It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Kento raised his eyebrows, "Wow, when did you get such a cute girlfriend?"

Wu Jian opened his mouth, but didn't speak, just pulled the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that didn't have much sincerity.

Tsurushima Kana secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that he acquiesced.

She was a little nervous when she said that just now... But according to the current progress of their relationship, they are not far from becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Kana? What a cute name," a voice came in. It was the black-haired woman next to Kento Kazuka. She was folding her hands on her knees and turning her head sideways. Eh."

Her smile was very sincere, and there was light in her eyes. When she said this, her gaze was fixed on Tsurushima's face, making people feel her seriousness, "Hi, just call me Rin. "

"...Okay."

Crane Island swallowed unconsciously. For some reason, the tone of the person in front of her always made her feel a little subtle. After two seconds, she realized that it was because their articulation habits were somewhat similar.

The muscles of the arms that were held tensed for a moment, and then slowly relaxed. The subtle changes were transmitted through the thin fabric. Tsurushima Kana raised his head and looked at the man questioningly, but found that he didn't notice this side. The gray-blue eyes stared straight at the woman who called herself "Rin".

Wujian Ningren felt that something was churning wildly in his brain.

Consciousness seemed to be divided into two halves, one half was clamoring wantonly, but the other half was firmly nailed in place by invisible nails, allowing him to maintain the precarious and precarious "calm" on his face - but it was useless, he thought he It must be a strange look at the moment, because something comes out of the eyes even when the mouth is closed.

He's been very divisive about that guy.

He can show all the understatement, carelessness, aggressiveness and eloquence to outsiders, but he will only leave all the tossing and turning, looking forward and backward, choosing every word carefully and clumsily speaking to that one person.

But now, he fixed his eyes on the strange-looking black-haired woman in front of him, and heard a bewitching voice in his ear: It's her.

It's her.

But the steel nail named "Sense" nailed him in place, yelling loudly that it was impossible.

"you……"

He heard a low voice,

"...Do I, know you?"

He realized it was his own voice.

"Yes."

The woman named Rin sat up a little bit, and the smile in her eyes deepened——it was only then that he realized that it was the color of amber.

"I was your back desk in the freshman year of high school, Ning Renjun."

"..."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"..."

The sound insulation of the KTV is not very good. When Zhixi came out of the bathroom, she could still hear the faint noise coming from not far away.

Everyone was frightened by her return, even more frightened than pleasantly surprised.The most exaggerated one was Tie Zheche Tie, whose reaction after learning that she was not knowing Zhixi was almost dramatic, the circle around the eyelids bloomed extremely enthusiastically, like sunflowers growing against the sun.

The second after this metaphor popped up in his mind, Zhi Xi felt that his Mandarin should still have a lot of room for improvement.

The same is true for Aci, who is already the mother of a one-year-old child, but he was still able to cry on the spot, almost pulling Liu Reiko and Kento Kazuka to cry together, Zhixi was very surprised that Shiozaki Ci got married so early , Just over twenty, a hero from the same firm got the certificate.

In the past seven years, everyone has moved forward on their respective life trajectories and become great people.Some have achieved their original dreams early, and some are still on the way.The time that Zhixi got along with the people in Class B was actually very short, only one semester, but they carefully considered this point, and they all tacitly picked up the past when chatting, so that she could reintegrate as soon as possible.

Asked why Zhi Xi changed her appearance now, as soon as she saw her hesitant expression, someone immediately changed the subject.

Even Black Domination, who had practiced against Zhixi a lot back then, deliberately leaned in front of her and said that he has now become a good man who can't be found even with a lantern.

Frightened by the sound of Bakugo Katsuki grinding his teeth again, he shrank back.

Zhi Xi couldn't hold back a chuckle, tied her temple hair behind her ears, washed her hands, dried them, then turned and walked outside.

His steps stopped suddenly.

In the corridor leading to the bathroom outside the box, someone was standing quietly not far from her, leaning against the wall, with a little scarlet jumping between his fingers.

"... Ning Renjun, have you started smoking?"

Zhixi walked over, the distance between the two gradually shortened, and the smell of nicotine and burning tar came from the nose, which was not pleasant.

Noticing her slight frown, the man extinguished the cigarette butt into the groove on the top of the trash can at hand.

"sometimes."

His voice was hoarse after being smoked, and he turned around. The eyes under the forehead hair looked closer to dark gray due to the lack of light, and there were shadows in them.

Adam's apple slid up and down.

"you……"

Wu Jianning didn't realize until now that he didn't know what to say.

Whether it's a small talk between friends, or a direct confession of all his thoughts, these words rushed forward, blocking his throat tightly.

He wanted to talk about how you have been these years, but he also knew that it was superfluous, because just now in the box, the former classmates often asked this question.

"—I wanted to say it when we first met,"

On the contrary, she was the first to break the infinitely elongated silence, with a brisk tone, "Ning Renjun is even more handsome than before."

The expression was familiar, and the time seemed to go back seven years in a trance, back to the morning when they first met.

At that time, the girl with short brown hair was sitting obediently on the desk, with her chin resting on her hands, her cheeks seemed to be slightly puffed up because of discouragement, and she said seriously to the person she met for the first time, "It's the first time I have a front and back table with a handsome guy." , no experience."

The woman continued talking, and pulled him back to the present moment. She tilted her head and looked very happy: "Miss Hedao is also very cute. When I saw you walking together just now, I thought it was really a good match. .By the way, if you get married in the future, remember to send me an invitation."

The strange face, the strange voice, everything was different from the person in his memory, only the faint but radiant smile appeared between her brows, eyes and lips, the radiance was so familiar that it made his heart palpitate.

In fact, he also really felt something in his left chest was beating irregularly, every time, getting heavier and heavier, the rhythm coincided with every syllable in her words.

Wujian Ningren moved his fingers, and there was a loud ringing in his ears, "...I won't,"

Zhi Xi didn't hear clearly, "What?"

"……Do not,"

He took a step back irresistibly, as if it only took such a short distance to calm him down, even though it was all in vain.

"……nothing."

He couldn't say those words because he was a man.

Is a responsible man.

a step far.

He looked at the dark-haired woman, and there was only one step between them.

But it seems to be separated by a natural moat.

When he met those deep amber eyes again, his chest suddenly choked.

Those eyes were full of "clearness".

She knows everything and sees everything.

His struggle, his hesitation, his calm and intense...

Everything.

And it was precisely because of this that she didn't mention anything, didn't point out anything, and just said: "Ning Renjun, please be happy."

Then he walked around him and pushed open the door of the box first, and the sound of music that shook the sky suddenly came out.

"Let's go, just now Yijia said he wanted to encourage you to sing, I want to hear it too."
