Chapter 677: Youth Can't Return
In the private room.
All the boys from dorm 519 had already arrived.
Today, Chen Fan originally wanted to bring Su Ruochu along, but she refused.
"If I go, you'll feel uncomfortable. It's rare for your two dorm rooms to sit together again, so have a good chat."
"But don't drink too much, okay?"
Smart women are like this, knowing when to make the right choice.
Sun Hao's girlfriend didn't show up either, instead making plans to go shopping with Su Ruochu.
In the corner, Wu Di sat alone with a cigarette in his mouth, looking somewhat dejected.
Chen Fan glanced at Ma Xiaoshuai: "What's wrong with this guy?"
Ma Xiaoshuai mumbled: "I heard from Linlin that Brother Di took the day off and waited at the airport for a whole morning."
Chen Fan was confused: "Didn't catch the person?"
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head: "How could Brother Di not catch up when he's always following Linlin?"
"Then what's wrong with him?"
"Su Qing refused to see him."
"After meeting, Su Qing didn't accept his flowers, and said she wanted to have a good get-together with her roommates, telling Brother Di they'd talk about anything else in the evening."
Chen Fan looked at Wu Di and shook his head.
To be honest, he felt that Wu Di and Su Qing's relationship might be in danger.
With Su Qing's proud personality, she would absolutely not allow any flaws in matters of the heart.
Just as he was thinking, there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room, then it opened.
The girls from dorm 326 had arrived.
In a flurry.
Chen Fan and the others quickly stood up.
Song Linlin, arm-in-arm with Su Qing, entered first, followed by Sun Min, Lu Wei, and Liu Qianqian.
Originally, this would be the time for Wu Di and Luo Wenjie, the two chatterboxes, to take the lead in opening up the atmosphere.
But today Wu Di was clearly not in the right state, and he was still considered a dangerous figure here in dorm 326.
Chen Fan had no choice but to give Ma Xiaoshuai a look.
Ma Xiaoshuai understood, walking over with a smile.
"You're finally here, we thought you'd forgotten the way."
To be honest, after half a year since graduation, the five girls had changed so much.
Whether in terms of dress or makeup style, they were clearly more mature and beautiful.
Only Su Qing was the only one who came wearing a thick down jacket.
Liu Qianqian had changed her style, switching from her previous short ponytail to long, big waves, looking much sexier.
"I didn't expect you to choose this place for the gathering, it really brings back memories."
Ma Xiaoshuai joked: "The theme today is to celebrate the great friendship between our two dorms."
Chen Fan stood up and went to the door to tell the waiter they could start serving the food.
Turning back, he asked with a smile: "Can the beautiful ladies drink today?"
No one objected.
Only Su Qing said softly: "I can only have one bottle of beer."
Chen Fan nodded: "Then baijiu for the men, and wine or beer as you like for the ladies."
Sun Min beside him suddenly stared at Chen Fan and teased with a grin.
"Chen Fan, you're quite famous now."
"We often see news about you online."
Chen Fan waved his hand with a smile: "Don't believe the rumors online."
"Hehe, I haven't said anything yet, and you're already denying rumors. It seems what's said online might not all be false."
Lu Wei also joked: "Originally thought a busy person like you wouldn't come."
"Didn't expect to have the chance to eat with the big boss tonight. We must have a drink together later."
Chen Fan smiled: "No problem. A beauty drinking with me is giving me face, I have to be careful."
"Listen to how he talks, it's just pleasing to the ear, worthy of doing big business."
Sun Min lamented with a hurt expression: "It's really a pity, if I had known you were so amazing back in school, I would have thrown away my face to actively pursue you."
Ma Xiaoshuai beside her said with a smile: "It's not too late now."
Sun Min glared, "It's not possible now."
She finished by showing the ring on her hand.
"Your sister is married now."
The boys were stunned, "You're married? So fast?"
Sun Min sighed: "Always falling behind when with you outstanding people, I had to be first in something."
Sun Hao asked with a smile: "Who's the lucky guy? Actually able to make our beautiful Sun Min decide to marry so quickly?"
"Don't mention it. Just a colleague of mine. Your sister muddle-headedly got on a pirate ship, no chance to regret it now."
With the food served, everyone filled their glasses in front of them.
Boys sat in one row, girls in another.
Just like when they first met.
But the atmosphere in the private room was actually a bit strange from the beginning.
Because from start to finish, only Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai were dealing with the girls' chat, with Sun Hao occasionally chiming in.
Wu Di and Brother Jie, usually the most talkative, didn't say a word.
Wu Di was constantly looking at Su Qing, while Brother Jie, well aware of his poor image in dorm 326, considered it already a mercy to be allowed here today. So he simply didn't speak, lowering his presence to the minimum.
Chen Fan's gaze swept around. He noticed Wu Di was clearly not in the right state.
Estimating that others might not be good at handling this kind of situation either, he didn't bother asking and directly raised his glass.
"Everyone, let me say a few words."
Sun Min suddenly applauded.
"Right, I remember now, at that gathering before graduation, Chen Fan, what you said was so good, I still remember it."
"This time you have to speak well, okay?"
Chen Fan smiled wryly, without sentiment or long speeches.
"Everyone, in such a big campus, it's not easy for our two dorms to become associated dorms."
"After graduation, it's even more difficult for us all to sit together again for a gathering."
"So, I hope everyone cherishes this opportunity well, to friendship!"
"To friendship!"
Everyone shouted with a smile, then clinked glasses with each other.
To be honest, the atmosphere of this gathering wasn't as lively as everyone had imagined.
There was no reminiscing about the glorious past, no crying and hugging, no tears streaming down faces.
Most of the time, people were just chatting casually, talking a bit about school days, about work after graduation, about love and marriage.
On the boys' side, without Wu Di and Brother Jie, these two topic generators, the fighting power was reduced by at least half.
These two just kept drinking silently. Most of the time it was Chen Fan, Ma Xiaoshuai, and Sun Hao talking.
And Chen Fan had almost become the focus of the girls' chat.
Topics were almost all revolving around Chen Fan.
Chen Fan's love life, Chen Fan's gossip with the opposite sex, Chen Fan's company... The girls seemed to want to strip Chen Fan bare and examine him carefully.
In the end, the girls even asked for Chen Fan's phone number.
Chen Fan was a bit depressed, this meal was mainly arranged for Wu Di, but in the end, he became the main target.
At the end of the meal, everyone drank casually.
Chen Fan naturally became the target of the girls taking turns to make him drink.
The girls said, they drink one glass, you drink half.
If you don't give this face, are you still a man?
Chen Fan could only grit his teeth and deal with it, several times giving Ma Xiaoshuai eye signals for help, but this guy pretended not to see, smiling as he watched the fun from the side.
In the end, Chen Fan really had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
He snuck out pretending to use the bathroom to avoid drinking.
Brother Jie was originally sitting alone in the corner, but unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian hesitated for a while, then actually took her glass and walked over on her own initiative.
"How have you been lately? Everything okay?"
Brother Jie looked up, hurriedly picked up his glass, so excited that the wine in the glass almost spilled.
Seeing this scene, Wu Di finally gritted his teeth, gathered his courage and stood up.
He took his glass and walked towards Su Qing.
"Su Qing, can I have a drink with you?"
Su Qing looked at the glass in front of her.
"I can't drink anymore, just what's left in the glass."
Wu Di quickly nodded: "Okay."
After they finished drinking, Wu Di immediately seized the opportunity to ask.
"After we finish eating, can we talk alone?"
