The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yaning and Yang Lingling arrived at Hotel P punctually.
Zheng Wei and Wang Jian were waiting in front of the hotel. Seeing Yaning arrive, he greeted her from afar,""Hey! Zhou Yaning! Guess who this is?" Zhou Yaning looked at the students surrounding her. Twenty years was enough to change a person's appearance. Yaning looked at them for a long time, but she couldn't guess who they were. Except for a few who she had met a few years ago and could still remember their names, most of the students were really confused by Yaning and couldn't remember their names.
" You're really…This is Lingxia, this is Liu Yan, this is Cai Weiguo, this is Zheng Xiangyu…" Yang Lingling saw Zhou Yaning's predicament and quickly helped her out.
"Ah, hello! Hello!" Zhou Yaning shook hands with everyone and followed them into the hotel.
There were dozens of tables in the hotel lobby, and every table was filled with people. The noisy and shuttling crowd reminded Yaning of the wet market.
" This is Teacher Zhao," Yang Lingling introduced.
"Aiya, Teacher Zhao, nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!" Zhou Yaning held Teacher Zhao's hand excitedly. Teacher Zhao had taken care of and helped Yaning in every possible way back then.
At the door, Zhou Yaning received a souvenir. It was a big white vest with the words "" 20 years after graduation from Grade 7, Class 12 of High School A." She saw that her classmates were all holding this white vest and looking for someone to sign it. She quickly took it out and let Teacher Zhao sign it first. Teacher Zhao thought for a moment and wrote: "I wish Zhou Yaning happiness and health! Zhao Yunmei." Yaning still wanted to chat with Teacher Zhao for a while, but she was interrupted by the student who asked Teacher Zhao to sign.
Zhou Yaning took the vest and asked her classmates to sign it, and the other students also took the vest and asked her to sign it. In just a short while, the white vest was covered with all kinds of handwriting, like blooming plum blossoms, showing off charmingly. Yaning was so excited that her throat was about to smoke. Just as she was about to take a breather, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of her shirt.
" Zhou Yaning, you forgot about me. I'm your deskmate. Don't look too high up." Yaning looked over and saw the " naughty boy " standing in front of her, who was also her deskmate. "How could that be? Do you still remember? "You always cause trouble in class," Yaning said with a smile.
"Sign it for me." Zhou Yaning pondered for a moment and wrote,""I'll never forget the deskmate you were back then. I wish you happiness! Zhou Yaning."
"Naughty" also signed for Yaning."I wish Zhou Yaning a successful career! A happy family!" .
Just as he was in a hurry, the loudspeaker sounded."Everyone, please be quiet and take your positions. The student gathering of Class 12, Grade 7 of A High School is now officially held. First of all, I would like to thank Wang Jian, Ling Xia, Liu Yan, Yang Lingling, and the other students who have been busy preparing for this gathering. They have created the conditions for us to meet again in 20 years. Let us express our sincere gratitude to them for their hard work with a warm applause!”As soon as Zheng Wei finished speaking, a storm of applause echoed in the hotel lobby for a long time.
" Next, let's invite Zhou Yaning to speak." Zhou Yaning walked up to the podium in high spirits. She took the microphone, gathered her emotions, and spoke passionately. Yaning's impromptu speech won the applause of the students.
After that, Zheng Wei gave a speech, the teacher gave a speech, Wang Jian kept recording, and Liu Yan took photos. The flashes kept flashing, and it was a scene of peace and prosperity.
The banquet officially began. There were cups and plates intertwined, and laughter and laughter. Teachers and students talked about their feelings of parting and lamented the passing of time. The boys and girls of the past were now pillars of support in all walks of life. After the banquet, everyone went to the steps in front of the hotel and took a group photo before the party came to an end.
Zheng Wei stopped Zhou Yaning, who was about to leave,""Don't leave in a hurry, there's still a small gathering."
Hence, Zhou Yaning, Yang Lingling, Wang Jian, Zheng Wei, Limei, Lingxia, Liu Yan, Zheng Xiangyu, Zhou Feng from Guangzhou, Zhao Ming from Beijing, and Liu Qiang from Changsha got into the van. The car sped all the way to another small hotel.
Yang Lingling told Zhou Yaning secretly that this was Liu Yan's family hotel.
After entering the hotel, they found a random seat and started karaoke.
Song after song, it was said that alcohol strengthened the courage of heroes. This was true. The students who drank became singers.
Amidst everyone's jeering, Zhou Yaning also sang a karaoke song. She sang Xu Xiaofeng's " The Bright Moon, A Thousand Miles of Lovesickness "." The night is vast, and the new moon is like a hook in the sky. Recalling the past is like a dream. Where can I find the dream again?"
As the director of the provincial association for quality assurance, he had attended many provincial meetings. He was also considered a figure on the scene. He had also sung karaoke many times, so he was not afraid of the scene. The students all knew that Zhou Yaning was a well-known " gentleman " in school. They didn't expect that twenty years of experience could change everything.
On stage, Zhou Feng had one hand on Zheng Xiangyu's shoulder and was singing "Heart Rain".
" My longing is an untouchable net. My longing is no longer a sea that has burst its banks."
" Why are you always here? Those rainy days, I deeply think of you." Zheng Xiangyu sang as she tried to get rid of Zhou Feng's entanglement. Yang Lingling whispered to Zhou Yaning,"" Zhou Feng had been chasing Zheng Xiangyu since middle school, but he didn't manage to get her. Now, he's just trying to get back together." Liu Yan circled around Zheng Wei and asked him openly,""Weiwei, have you told Meimei about us?”Zheng Wei smiled evilly and said,"I said it."”Liu Yan asked. " It's just the two of us," Zheng Wei said indifferently.
Liu Yan then pointed her finger at Li Mei, who was sitting next to Zheng Wei."Meimei, you don't mind, do you?" Limei said,"I don't mind.""Meimei, you're so nice!"”Zhou Yaning couldn't help but admire Limei's magnanimity. For the sake of her family, she could really tolerate it.
As they karaoke, food and wine were served. Everyone ate and sang until it was late at night and they were tired.
Zhou Yaning thought that the party was over and was planning to go home the next day. Unexpectedly, Zheng Wei informed her to wait in front of the station building at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. He would pick her up and take her to the beach.
After a day of excitement, they returned to Yang Lingling's house and washed up. The two of them lay on the bed, still unable to calm down. The talkative Lingling started talking about Liu Yan again.
Do you know? Liu Yan was a character. Before she graduated from primary school, she was recruited by the Beijing opera troupe. She sang Beijing opera for a few years and made friends with many big shots. Then, she went into the sea and opened this hotel with her sister. Liu Yan was still unmarried. She relied on her good looks to get close to a rich man. She had changed boyfriends one after another, all of whom were rich and powerful.
In this day and age, this was what happened. This could be considered as ability. Zhou Yaning said, not surprised.
Zhou Yaning pretended to casually ask about Long Bo, the student who had a hazy relationship with him back then. Yang Lingling told her that Long Bo was an only child, so he didn't go to the countryside after graduating from high school. He was assigned to be a commentator at the museum. Long Bo's baritone voice was very magnetic, and his appearance was dignified. He was suitable to be a commentator. Ling Ling didn't know much about Long Bo's recent situation. Yaning only felt that the feelings of a young girl were very distant, very innocent, and very silly. It was a bit like the pattering of spring rain, floating in her heart, hazy and confused.
Yang Lingling chatted about the other students for a while. Zhou Yaning felt a little tired. Seeing that it was already late at night, she could only interrupt Lingling's conversation."Go to sleep. You still have to wake up early tomorrow."”The two of them were immersed in their dreams.
The next day, Zhou Yaning and Yang Lingling waited in front of the station building on time.
A white van pulled up in front of them. Zhou Yaning and Yang Lingling got in and saw that Zheng Wei, Limei, Wang Jian, Zheng Xiangyu, Liu Yan, Zhou Feng, Zhao Ming, and Liu Qiang were already sitting in the car. It seemed that it was really a small-scale gathering. Students from all over the country who had a good relationship with each other were basically all here.
The van sped all the way to the suburbs.
The people in the car were laughing and joking again. Some were flirting, some were joking, some were telling dirty jokes, and some were singing loudly. They were having a great time.
Liu Yan seized the opportunity to sit beside Zheng Wei, teasing him along the way. Zheng Wei's wife, Li Mei, was magnanimous as she ignored everything in front of her. During the break, in order to get rid of Liu Yan's pestering, Zheng Wei deliberately sat beside Zhou Yaning when he got into the car. Zheng Wei chatted casually with Yaning. Zhou Yaning knew that Zheng Wei had served as a political commissar in the regiment she was in after she left the army. Therefore, Zheng Wei was familiar with his old comrades in the medical team. Zheng Wei smiled and said," I was wondering why all the medicine in our medical team belongs to your pharmaceutical factory. It turns out that you got in through the back door."
Yaning also smiled and said," It's all my old comrades who came to me and wanted to increase the factory price. How can I not help?"
Indeed, when Captain Guan of the health team found Yaning, Yaning had already been transferred to the Quality Department. She used her relationship with the sales department's leader to buy a lot of medicine for the army. They were all sold at factory prices and were popular. It could be considered a backdoor. For this reason, every time the health team came to pick up medicine, they would wake up early and buy a large sack of crabs, shrimp, and sea fish that Yaning couldn't name. They would also pick up a cart full of peanuts and other local specialties. In short, they were not empty-handed every time. She had been in contact with the health team for a few years. It was not until Captain Guan changed his job and the new captain was not familiar with Yaning. Yaning was also transferred to the head of the quality supervision department. Her work was busy, and her contact with the army gradually faded.
As they chatted, they soon arrived at Pochinki's beach.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Yaning looked at the beach that she had visited many times when she was a soldier. Her heart was filled with emotions. Her military career back then was still vivid in her mind.
Zhou Yaning wanted to relive her old dream. She changed into her swimsuit and couldn't wait to walk into the sea.
After swimming for a while, he turned around and saw Wang Jian swimming not far away.
"Where did they go?" Yaning asked curiously.
" They went to the bridge to take photos. They're not interested in swimming, so they took the opportunity to take photos of their lovers," Wang Jian said.
Yaning didn't ask any more questions and continued swimming. Wang Jian was always swimming not far away from her. In fact, he was protecting her.
"Yaning, you only know how to swim the breaststroke. Let me teach you how to swim the backstroke."
" I don't dare."" I'll protect you. What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Jian swam over and held Yaning's waist with his hand.
Yaning wasn't open enough to let other men get close to her body except for her husband, so she immediately felt uncomfortable. However, seeing that Wang Jian was serious about teaching her, she thought that maybe she was overthinking it. Therefore, Yaning cooperated with her hands and feet and began to learn seriously.
Thanks to Yaning's foundation in swimming, she was able to swim freely without Wang Jian's support. Yaning was very excited and kept thanking Wang Jian.
Happy times always passed very quickly. Seeing the sunset in the sky, Zheng Wei was calling them by the shore, and only then did Yaning and Wang Jian swim to the shore.
In the evening, the group went to Liu Yan's hotel again. They drank while karaoke. Everyone talked about how Wang Jian had taught Zhou Yaning the backstroke. Zhou Yaning's face turned red.
