And then there was the girl he had a crush on during college, which was a past he couldn't bear to bring up.
Ling Zhenfei, having finished speaking, left with Yang Zixuan.
From behind, Li Hai said to Ling Zhenfei, "Well, brother, you have a big heart, haha." Laughter filled with irony came from behind them, making Li Hai curious about what past Ling Zhenfei and Yang Zixuan had.
"Big Brother Ling, I..." Yang Zixuan looked at Ling Zhenfei as if she had something to say.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Everyone, gather here and let the organizer of this reunion, Wu Lei, say a few words."
Ling Zhenfei looked at Yang Zixuan and said, "Let's go over as well." Out of politeness, it really wouldn't be nice if they didn't join when everyone else was going.
Yang Zixuan nodded and followed Ling Zhenfei, saying as they walked, "Big Brother Ling, if they mention me later, please don't believe them. I was framed by Wu Lei."
Ling Zhenfei looked at Yang Zixuan, whose gaze was still so clear and innocent, "Okay, I believe you."
A crowd had gathered around the stage, and amid their shouts, Wu Lei, smiling, stepped onto the stage. He looked over the crowd, his gaze sweeping past Ling Zhenfei, a smirk appearing on his lips.
"I really appreciate that, despite being busy, you all made it to this reunion. We classmates should help and support each other to better survive in the cruel competition of society. Organizing this reunion is just my modest contribution to provide everyone an opportunity to meet."
Back in school, Wu Lei was the class representative and the student union president, and his speaking skills were quite impressive, very persuasive and stirring. His words excited everyone in the audience.
"Today, I also see many classmates brought their significant others. Some brought their boyfriends, others their girlfriends. Those who haven't, you better step up your game. Even I brought my significant other today, and I'd like to introduce her to all of you."
With these words, he pointed towards a corner of the audience, and everyone's gaze followed. There sat a woman in dazzling clothes, her large enticing eyes smiling mischievously at everyone.
"This is my girlfriend, Han Fenghuang."
After Wu Lei spoke, Han Fenghuang in her high heels clicked her way up to the stage. It was clear from one look that Han Fenghuang was no decent lady—her clothes were covered in shiny studs, revealing her belly button with a belly piercing, and a Phoenix tattoo visible on her exposed midriff, her lower body clad in denim shorts adorned with studs.
This outfit said it all; she was clearly a Little Tomboy, and it was surprising that Wu Lei would choose such a girlfriend.
"Hello everyone, I'm Han Fenghuang, Wu Lei's girlfriend. I've been out in the world longer than all of you. If you have any trouble settling matters, just find my husband Wu Lei. I can't promise much, but we run this part of town."
Although she boasted greatly, some classmates actually enjoyed hearing this. In today's relationship-based society, it's essential to have connections, and having someone from the underworld could save a lot of trouble later on.
"Thanks, sister-in-law."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Some flatterers even started shouting below, causing Ling Zhenfei to feel disgusted.
Then Han Fenghuang continued, "Lei often tells me about your school days, and I envy your exciting pasts. What interests me the most is the incident of a female student being insulted. I wonder if she's here today, and if she's still alive?"
As soon as Han Fenghuang finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Yang Zixuan, who was standing next to Ling Zhenfei, clearly indicating that the person Han Fenghuang was talking about was Yang Zixuan.
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, insulted—was it about Yang Zixuan being insulted before? It must be the matter that Yang Zixuan had desperately tried to conceal; Ling Zhenfei had wondered what exactly Yang Zixuan had been hiding, but he had never anticipated that it would be this.
Everyone was looking at Yang Zixuan, and inevitably at Ling Zhenfei as well. If he were truly Yang Zixuan's boyfriend, then he should be the most embarrassed, he looked around, and everyone seemed to be enjoying the drama, smirking at him, including Li Hai who had just spoken to him.
"Don't talk nonsense; I have already clarified it, that incident is fake, it's fake," everyone was looking at Yang Zixuan, her face had turned red with anger, and she yelled at the crowd, mainly directing her fervor towards Han Fenghuang on the stage.
Almost all of Yang Zixuan's classmates knew about this incident; they had all but forgotten it, but with Han Fenghuang's mention, everyone remembered it again and started explaining it to their companions.
"Hey, hey, this is so explosive, is it true?"
"Exactly, I know about this incident, it's absolutely true, and there are photos!"
"How could she say it's been clarified?"
"How can you clarify when there are photos!"
Yang Zixuan's face became incredibly ugly, her eyes seeming to spit fire, filled with immense anger yet nowhere to vent it.
"Oh, the person involved is here today, sorry, I didn't know, I thought you definitely wouldn't come, sorry, sorry," Han Fenghuang began to apologize on stage, but it looked so false no matter how you saw it, bringing up this past incident for no reason felt so deliberate to everyone involved.
"Phoenix, since you've already mentioned it, why apologize? The classmates all know about it anyway, and I didn't lie," Wu Lei said with a smirk.
Unquestionably, this had to be Wu Lei's doing, asking Han Fenghuang to act this out. If there was anyone else capable of saying this, Phoenix was the perfect candidate.
Ling Zhenfei suddenly didn't know what to do; ideally, he should take Yang Zixuan and quickly leave this place, the impact of this revelation on Yang Zixuan was simply too great, fearing she couldn't endure staying here any longer.
Ling Zhenfei tugged at Yang Zixuan, ready to lead her away, but to his surprise, she didn't move.
"Wu Lei, I know this is all your doing, give me an explanation today in front of all the classmates."
Wu Lei smiled at Yang Zixuan, "Very interesting, what do you mean by my trickery? The incident of your humiliation is clearly written on our school's forum. There are even photos there, but the school deleted them eventually, I believe most of the classmates have read through it completely; your 'spectacular' photos were seen by everyone, what's there to explain?"
"What kind of photos, have you seen them?"
"I've seen them, very exciting; Yang Zixuan's figure was already great back then, and so white."
"How could there still be photos after such an incident?"
