In those years, we were not together

Chapter 9
1. Lin Tao and his wife
"Honey, what do you think I look more handsome in?" At Lin Tao's house, Lin Tao was gesturing with the clothes in the closet.

"You, why do you suddenly become stinky, be honest!"

Lin Tao's wife's name is Gao Hui, who was introduced by his parents. When Lin Tao heard this name, he thought it was his English teacher. Who knows that the name is just the same pronunciation.Later, because the other party was also good, to live a life, I found a hardworking and capable one, so I got married step by step.

"Didn't I tell you a few days ago that we have a class reunion today?" Lin Tao explained.

"Oh, I remembered, you seem to have mentioned it." Gao Hui said.

"Besides, I'm so busy, where can I find you a mistress to make you angry!" Lin Tao was joking again.

"How dare you!" Gao Hui picked up the big brush for sweeping the bed and said.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, my wife, I love you the most!" Lin Tao said while blowing a kiss to Gao Hui.

"Fuck you!" Gao Hui felt a little embarrassed.

"Honey, you see I wear a police uniform all day, I don't even have any decent clothes, what should I do?"

"It's not a blind date. Why do you dress so well?"

"Student reunions are more important than blind dates. The current classmates are either married to a good family, or are white-collar elites in the company. Only I am a policeman, drive an Alto, and I am a house slave, a future child slave..." Lin Taoyue The more miserable he said, "Think about it, my days and my dreams are just drowned by the ruthless society!"

"You just pretend to be you!" Gao Hui was also not polite.

"Why don't I go shopping with you today and buy you clothes?" Gao Hui suggested.

"It's 10 o'clock now, and the party is at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. There's still time..." Lin Tao looked at his watch and said, "Really, wife, I'm afraid you're tired."

"You still care about me!" Gao Hui's mouth was stiff, but her heart was still full of joy.

"I only care about you!" Lin Tao said seriously, and then sang Teresa Teng's song mischievously, "When time flies by, I only care about you, I am willing to infect your breath, how can I get a wife in life, and lose the power of life It's not a pity..."

"You, you can be poor!" Gao Hui said cheerfully.

So, the two went out arm in arm lovingly.

In the shopping mall, Gao Hui walked to the section for pregnant women and babies, and was fascinated by the colorful and cute little clothes and toys, and was reluctant to leave.

"Husband, this toy is very fun, let's buy it for the baby, okay?" Gao Hui picked up a very cute doll and said to Lin Tao.

"Honey, we already have several toys like this at home. Our baby is still young, so it's not too late to buy them when he grows up!"

"I just look cute, look at that little dress is also cute..." Gao Hui walked towards the clothes section as she said.

"Honey, it's already past 11 o'clock, let's finish the important shopping and go eat, okay?" Lin Tao coaxed.

"It's your business that matters, not the children's." Gao Hui was unhappy.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, can't we buy that toy?" Lin Tao had no choice.

"That's right!" Gao Hui suddenly became happy.

After buying toys, the two came to the men's section.It's been a long time since I went shopping. Lin Tao really doesn't know that the outside world is wonderful, and the life in uniform is very helpless.

"Honey, try this one, it must look handsome!" Gao Hui held a dark green shirt.

"I have several of that color." Lin Tao said, taking a striped shirt, and said, "How about I wear this one?"

"It seems a little flowery," Gao Hui said, "but it's okay, why don't you try it?"

Coming out of the fitting room, seeing Lin Tao, Gao Hui smiled slightly: "I'm going to be a father soon, and he's pretty handsome, you can go on a blind date, hehe."

"Well, that's it!" Lin Tao said.

So the two of them went to pay, and as they walked, Gao Hui said, "It's agreed, you can't wear floral clothes to attract bees and butterflies for me..."

"Obey, my wife!" Lin Tao said respectfully.

2. A class reunion

At around 5 pm that day, the Rose Hall on the second floor of the Sheraton Hotel was bustling with activity.Old classmates from Class [-] of Elite Middle School came one after another.

"Haha, Jim, long time no see!" Seeing Jim, Lin Tao hurried forward to give him a hug.

"Yeah, long time no see!" Jim hugged Lin Tao and introduced, "This is my wife, Susan."

"You boy, you are blessed with such a beautiful Chinese daughter-in-law!" Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Li Lei!" Jim shouted when he saw Li Lei busy.

"Jim!" Li Lei happily stepped forward to hug him.

"Who is this?" Li Lei pointed to Susan and asked.

"This is my wife, Susan."

"Oh, hello, hello!" Li Lei quickly stretched out his right hand.

"Hello!" Sensing someone patting him on the shoulder, Li Lei turned his head and looked, "Who are you?"

"Wei Fang!" Li Lei yelled, "It's changed so much, I can't even recognize it!"

"Hehe, is it because your nobleman forgets too much?" Wei Fang said with a smile.

"This is my husband." Wei Fang pointed to the gentle man beside her and said.

"It looks familiar..." Lin Tao said.

Wei Fang pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, as if she wanted everyone to guess.

"Wei Fang, let me introduce you, who is this?" Lin Tao asked knowingly with a smirk.

"You don't know him yet?"

"Could it be our classmate?"

"It's pretty much it!" Wei Fang said.

"I really don't know, Li Lei, do you know?" Lin Tao turned to Li Lei.

"I don't know each other either, Wei Fang, don't be fooled, let me introduce you!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to keep it up anymore, let me introduce it officially, this is our school's outstanding math student, who was once called 'Xiaohua Luogeng' by all the teachers in our school..." Wei Fang also deliberately put on a trick .

"Xiao Ming?" Lin Tao patted his head and said.

Wei Fang smiled slightly, obviously, Lin Tao was right.

"Not bad, Wei Fang, you managed to catch the most talented mathematics prince in our school. May I ask what is the relationship between the two of you now..." Lin Tao played tricks on purpose.

"I won't say much about this, just guess it!"

I saw that Xiao Ming's face was a little red, he opened his mouth and still didn't speak, he just smiled politely at everyone, and after a long time, he said: "Hi everyone!" The way of greeting the science students is real and concise, which is quite admirable for a moment.

At this time, a blonde girl came up from downstairs, dressed very modernly.

"Lily!" Jim yelled.

"Jim!" Lily waved happily.After the two hugged each other friendly, a group of people quickly became one.

"Li Lei, you've changed a lot," Lily said shyly, her cheeks flushed slightly, as if shy.

"Hehe, you have changed a lot, right?" Li Lei also said with a smile.

The entire Rose Hall was extremely lively.Around six o'clock, almost everyone arrived, but Han Meimei hadn't come yet.

"How about we order?" Someone suggested.

"Han Meimei hasn't come yet, let's wait a while!" Li Lei said.

"Yeah, why hasn't Meimei come yet?"

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late!" At this time, Han Meimei had already arrived at the door. She was dressed in plain Prada, carrying the latest Hermès handbag. Her wavy curly hair made her look more feminine. Han Meimei had indeed changed. , whether it is the external appearance or the feeling of giving people, they all give people an enviable sense of distance.Perhaps it takes only two things to change a woman—time or money.Time changes the inside, money changes the outside.

"Oh, welcome Meimei!" Someone booed and even applauded.Some applause is for the beginning of the celebration, some applause is for the hope that the boring speech will end soon, some applause is for real admiration, and the applause at this time is more to shorten the distance between each other.

"Everyone is almost here! Li Lei, we can order now." Jim said.

"By the way, why didn't Miss Gao come?" Someone asked.

"Yes, why didn't Teacher Gao come?"

"MissGao, I called and asked. She is currently on vacation abroad and will return to China after a while, so she can't come this time." Jim explained.

"It's a pity!" All the students expressed regret.

"However, Miss Gao is on maternity leave!" Jim said.

"MissGao is only a mother now?"

"No, I already have a son and a daughter, and this is the third one!"

"Superborn..."

"Hahaha!"

"Then let's order." Li Lei said as he handed the menu to Lin Tao and said, "You should order!"

"Today's occasion, it's not appropriate for me to order. I should let Jim order. After all, it's not easy to come here." Lin Tao said.

Jim said: "As you all know, I don't know how to order Chinese food. For me, Chinese food is delicious!"

"Hahaha!" Hearty laughter resounded throughout the room.

"How about ordering two for each person?" Han Meimei suggested.

"Okay!" Wei Fang agreed.

While waiting for the food, the classmates in the room chatted lively again.

"Is Lily doing well in Shanghai?" Meimei asked.

"Well, it's pretty good, hehe."

"You didn't say Jim took care of you in Shanghai, Jim, you didn't do that well!" Meimei said deliberately in a lecture tone.

"Yes, yes, Miss Han is very critical, why, your rich husband didn't come today?" Jim jokingly said, "Is it because you can't get out to meet people?"

"Screw you!"

"Hahaha!"

"Li Lei, I heard that you and Meimei are in the same company?" Lily said this. "I called Lin Tao a few days ago and he told me."

Hearing this question, Li Lei was a little unhappy, because he thought of Han Gang as his boss, so he said, "Yes, hehe, it's a coincidence!" When he said this, Li Lei's expression was very unnatural.

At this time, the dishes came up one after another.

A large table of people ate food while talking, having a great time, drinking and drinking, one after another.

3. Memories of embarrassing things in middle school
At a class reunion, the most unforgettable thing is the time when we struggled together, so Lin Tao suggested that everyone present tell one of the most embarrassing things in middle school to enliven the atmosphere.

Most of the students agree. "Since everyone agrees, let our outstanding math student, Xiao Ming, speak first."

"it is good!"

"I," Xiao Ming didn't know what to say, "I, it seems nothing..."

"Impossible, is it true that high-achieving mathematics students will not have a little bit of rebellion as the legend says?" Everyone expressed doubts.

"Uh, well, let me confess, once I won the first prize in a math competition in the city. When I gave the acceptance speech at the school assembly, I said that I just got lucky and accidentally won the first prize. In fact I worked hard for half a month to get that award, so I lied at that time..."

Seeing Xiao Ming's serious and earnest expression, everyone couldn't help laughing, Wei Fang said: "Why are you still making trouble for the family when you have a party? Today's protagonist should talk first!"

"Wei Fang, I haven't asked you how you caught our Prince of Mathematics. You still maintain it like this. Okay, come next." It was Lin Tao who said this again.

"I won't talk about it. If I want to talk about it, I will also talk about the embarrassing things you did when you were in school."

Lin Tao had no choice but to turn to Li Lei for help, but Li Lei ignored him at all.

"Okay, then let me tell you." Lin Tao waved his hands, and said in order to avoid silence, "Let me tell you the most embarrassing thing about Li Lei."

"Oh?"

"I remember when I was in the second grade of middle school, once I wanted to punish Li Lei, so I poured a large bottle of glue from my desk onto Li Lei's stool, making Li Lei's ass wet, and went home to change his pants..." Lin Tao burst into tears while talking and laughing, as if the scene was still vivid in his memory.

"You still mention this, and I don't care about it with you. Everyone, Lin Tao violated the rules he proposed. Do you want to be punished with a drink?" Li Lei said.

"Yes, it's time for the bad boy to give him a break, but you can't have a drink, you have to drink a bottle!" Jim said.

"Yes, drink a bottle. We were raped by him when we were in school, and now I want this kid to drink it back!"

Lin Tao couldn't resist the booing from the crowd, so he had to drink a large bottle of beer very boldly.

After drinking, Lin Tao's face was slightly flushed, and he proposed to tell everyone about the opposite sex that he had a crush on in middle school, which was stunned by everyone.

The whole party was going on in such a lively atmosphere that didn't need to be particularly fussy. The memories of the past are still there. It is precisely because of the time when we grew up together that we can joke with each other unscrupulously today, many years later, and the memories are even stronger. Most of the time it is the flavoring agent of life, and youth is the best dish that makes us feel elusive now.

In the end, Han Meimei borrowed time from the bathroom and went to the service desk.

"Miss, how much is the total consumption of the Rose Hall?"

"Let me take a look for you." The waitress said, "The total is 7889 yuan."

"Okay, I'll pay the bill." Han Mei handed over her credit card while speaking.

"Meimei." Li Lei ran over, "How can I make you pay the bill? Let me do it!"

"It's okay, I'll come." Han Meimei insisted on paying.

"How can I ask you to pay?" Li Lei said while taking out his wallet.

"Li Lei, listen to me, don't argue with me, this one is mine, and the next one is yours, okay?" Han Meimei's big eyes were full of sincerity.

Li Lei put down his hand that insisted on paying: "Okay, next time, I will pay!"

When they got back to the box, Lin Tao and Jim were already drunk.

"Next stop, where are we going to be happy?" Lin Tao said while drinking.

Lily next to her grabbed the cup and said, "Lin Tao, stop drinking!"

"No, I am happy today, I want to drink! Lily, you are still single, let me tell you, Li Lei is not married, I see you two..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Tao lay down on the table.

"I also think you two are a good match." Jim said with a smile, "Why don't we make a match on the spot, and the two of you who are present are probably not married, right?"

Lily was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Sister Susan, you see Jim is drunk, you have to take care of him later."

"It's okay, hehe, he'll be fine later." Susan said with a smile.

After having a good meal, a group of classmates went to KTV together again.Lin Tao was already drunk and lay motionless on the sofa. Jim was also a little dizzy. He took Li Lei's hand and sang "Brothers". Lei is much more decisive, or not as indecisive as Li Lei - what is yours is yours, and what is not yours can't be snatched no matter how hard you try.

During the whole k-song process, everyone sang a lot of old songs, and they also matched Li Lei and Han Meimei to sing "Intimate Lover".They were all embarrassed at first, but they couldn't bear the booing and sang anyway.When singing this song, Li Lei blushed, and Han Meimei seemed to have something on her mind. Lily sat there without speaking, changing her usual chirping manner.

This kind of opportunity seems to evoke the memories of all the classmates, but it is impossible to revisit what has passed away. No matter how much nostalgia there is, it can only be faced with reality...

After playing until after twelve o'clock in the evening, the reunion of Class [-] ended.

Li Lei helped Lin Tao out of the KTV, and Han Meimei also helped him.

"Why don't I send Lin Tao off? You haven't seen Lily for a long time. It's not easy for her to come here if you take her around," Han Meimei said.

"It's so late, and there's no place to go shopping. Besides, Lin Tao is drunk, so I'd better see him off." Li Lei said, Lily was walking behind Li Lei when he said this. Big chunks of loss.

"Why don't I and Li Lei send Lin Tao off!" Lily ran up to support Lin Tao.

"Oh... I'd better see him off. You haven't seen each other for so long, so I just took this opportunity to talk more..." Han Meimei glanced at Li Lei and said.At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz drove over from the hotel entrance, "My husband is here, don't worry, I will send Lin Tao back safely!" After finishing speaking, he dragged Lin Tao to the luxury car.

"Okay then, goodbye, Meimei! Be careful on the road!" Lily also said goodbye to Han Meimei.

4. Blind date girl encounters crush girl
At this moment, only Lily and Li Lei were left at the entrance of the hotel. The two of them hadn't drunk much, so they were very sober. But at this moment, the two of them just stood there in a daze, somewhat uncomfortable.

"Where should we sit for a while?" Lily wanted to break the deadlock.

"Alright." Li Lei agreed.

Just as the two of them walked out of the gate, Li Lei heard someone calling him from behind: "Li Lei?"

He turned around and saw that it was Sun Yifei. "Why are you here?" Sun Yifei asked.

"What about you?" Li Lei asked and answered, "We have a class reunion today."

"Oh, it's a friend's birthday, so we came here for a meal." When Sun Yifei spoke, there was a strong smell of alcohol in her mouth, and she seemed to have drunk too much.

"This is your friend?" Sun Yifei looked at Lily and asked.

"Oh, let me introduce, this is my middle school classmate, Lily."

"Hello!" Lily extended her right hand and shook hands with Sun Yifei friendly.

"Hi, my name is Sun Yifei, and I'm Li Lei's girlfriend." Sun Yifei said generously.

Hearing what Sun Yifei said, Li Lei was very surprised, so he explained: "No, Yifei, you are drunk."

"Well, I'm drunk, why don't you take me back, I don't know how to go back alone..." Before finishing speaking, Sun Yifei fell into Li Lei's arms.

"Well..." Li Lei didn't know how to say it. He didn't want Lily to see such a scene, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, but it's hard to explain the current situation.

"Why don't you send your friend away! I'll take a taxi back to the hotel!" Lily said.

"It's better for you to send your classmate off. I'll take a taxi back." Sun Yifei said deliberately and walked out of the hotel gate shaking.

"Are you okay?" Li Lei went up to help her.

"It's okay, don't worry about me!" Sun Yifei broke away from Li Lei's hand.

"Li Lei, you can send her off, she seems to be drinking too much!" Lily said.

"Then what do you do?" Li Lei asked.

"I'm fine. Anyway, I know him well. Just take a taxi and go back to the hotel."

"when are you leaving?"

"The car at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"How about I send you off tomorrow! You wait for my call." Li Lei said while helping Sun Yifei into the car.

In an instant, Lily felt tears flow from her eyes, and her inner expectations were instantly shattered.

Lily didn't take a taxi back to the hotel. Instead, she went to a bar, ordered a few drinks, and drank them.The more you drink, the more lonely you become, to use a current catchphrase - what my sister drinks is not wine, but loneliness...

It was past two o'clock in the morning when Li Lei sent Sun Yifei home. To be honest, sending Sun Yifei back home was not smooth.Because she drank so badly, when she got home, she vomited and pulled Li Lei not to let him go, so Li Lei waited until she fell asleep before leaving.

As soon as he came out of Sun Yifei's house, Li Lei called Lily, and the phone was very noisy.

"Lily, where are you now?"

"Li Lei." Lily said unconsciously, shaking the wine glass in her hand.

"Are you at the bar?" Li Lei heard a loud voice from the microphone.
