The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

At 6 p.m. sharp, Lin Ran arrived at Hejia Seafood City, the venue for her junior high school reunion dinner.

It's called a seafood restaurant.

It's basically just a slightly upscale seafood stall.

A canopy was set up at the entrance of the shop, with more than ten plastic tables already occupied. The tables were packed with customers, who were eating, drinking, chatting loudly, and boasting, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

The restaurant also has six or seven private rooms, which are slightly more upscale and relatively quieter.

Lin Ran's junior high school reunion was held in VIP room number six.

I knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.

Inside the private room, there were two large round tables, and quite a few students were already seated, nearly twenty people in total.

Lin Ran glanced around and realized that he could hardly recognize most of the faces.

Even those I vaguely remember can't recall their names.

After all, including their previous life, it had been at least sixteen or seventeen years since they last met, so it was normal for them to have forgotten each other.

However, for these junior high school classmates in the private room, it has only been three years since they graduated from junior high school, which is not too long ago.

So when they saw Lin Ran come in, some classmates quickly recognized him and waved to him warmly.

"Lin Ran?"

"Come, come, sit here."

"You're the only one missing!"

Lin Ran responded and walked over to sit down without any hesitation.

These junior high school classmates hadn't seen each other for a long time, and this reunion was a rare opportunity for them to catch up and reminisce. They chatted enthusiastically at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Lin Ran sat in the corner, not joining the conversation, but simply observing and scrutinizing each classmate with great interest.

He attended Yuna No. 4 Middle School.

It doesn't rank very high in Yunan County.

Many students go to vocational high schools after graduating from junior high school, or they start working and earning money as soon as they graduate.

and so.

Compared to the recent graduating seniors of Yunan Middle School—

Most of Lin Ran's junior high school classmates sitting in the private room were dressed in a more mature and sophisticated manner.

The boys had tattoos, smoked, had permed hair, and some even wore gold-plated copper necklaces around their necks.

The girls were all dressed maturely, even somewhat sexy, in high heels and stockings, with heavy makeup, trying their best to show off their beauty.

Among this group of classmates.

Lin Ran's simple outfit of a hoodie and jeans makes her look too much like a well-behaved student.

He seemed a bit out of place.

Someone at the dinner table immediately noticed Lin Ran's attire, and the topic shifted:

"Lin Ran attends Yunanan Middle School, right?"

"Wow, that's amazing! A top student! How did the college entrance exam go? Will you get into a top university?"

……

Upon hearing this question, many students turned their attention to Lin Ran.

After this college entrance examination, Lin Ran did not specifically ask teachers or classmates to check the answers or estimate her score.

But if I make a rough estimate in my mind, I have a general idea.

They basically maintained the level of the last mock exam, and weren't far off.

However, facing a group of junior high school classmates, he didn't intend to show off; he just smiled.

"Okay."

"We'll know when the results come out."

The words were spoken humbly and politely, but someone at the table couldn't help but curl their lip, take a puff of their cigarette, and say nonchalantly:

"If you ask me, being good at studying is useless."

"These days, even college graduates have to find jobs and do manual labor, right?"

"It's better to enter the workforce and make money sooner."

"Look at me, I started working right after finishing junior high school, and I'm doing pretty well now, aren't I?"

Upon hearing this, the classmates around him showered him with praise: "Absolutely! Boss Qian is so amazing, running his own business!" "When you get rich in the future, don't forget your old classmate!"

Lin Ran looked at the smoking man and remembered:

"Are you Qian Yi?"

He remembered this person.

He made a lot of money in business in his past life, but I heard that he got a serious illness when he was almost thirty and passed away early.

It's quite a pity.

The man smoking looked rather smug, patting his chest:

"That's me. I wasn't even a group leader in junior high."

"Now I run my own small billiards shop, and I can still earn around ten thousand yuan a month. It's very comfortable!"

"Lin Ran, if you ever fail in your career, come work for me at my shop. I won't treat you badly!"

If Lin Ran, who was 18 years old in her previous life, had heard these words, she would probably have gotten angry and furious.

But as a reborn being.

A mature soul in their thirties.

Lin Ran no longer cares about such small boasts and bragging at class reunions.

On the contrary, I felt that this old classmate was actually a very honest person. Although he liked to show off and take advantage of others, he was also kind-hearted and had a bit of a chivalrous spirit.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran felt quite emotional and nodded to the smoking man:

"Thank you."

Then, after thinking about it, I sincerely offered another piece of advice:

"If you make money, enjoy it as much as you can, don't be too frugal."

"You won't be able to take this with you in a few years..."

Qian Yi: "?"

A huge question mark appeared above his head; he was completely baffled by Lin Ran's words.

What, what the hell?

What can't you take with you? Where are you going to take the money, buddy?

Why am I suddenly feeling a little panicked?

……

At this moment, a girl at the dinner table, wearing eyeshadow and lipstick, with rather glamorous makeup, looked at Lin Ran and asked in a teasing tone:

"Lin Ran".

Did you have a boyfriend or date in high school?

"Have you lost your virginity by now, after three years of high school?"

Lin Ran was shocked to hear this.

What kind of tiger and wolf words is this!

Look at the girl speaking; I vaguely remember her. Her name should be Chen Sisi.

My classmate who sat behind me in junior high school seems to have a crush on me and even confessed his feelings to me.

But at the time, he was simple-minded and focused on his studies, so he honestly refused.

Who would have thought that my buddy would become Shen Lingshan's simp once he entered high school...

Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Coming to his senses, he smiled and waved his hand:

"Nope."

"I don't date young. Everyone at school is a normal classmate and friend."

—For example, his pure friendship with the school beauty as his deskmate.

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Chen Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Oh dear, what's with all this talk about puppy love?"

"How old are you? Why are you still so childish?"

The other students at the table burst into laughter and cheered:

"Lin Ran is a good student, she definitely wouldn't understand these things."

"Besides, all the girls at Yunaan Middle School are bookworms with glasses, how can they be pretty?"

"She's definitely nowhere near as pretty as our Chen, the class beauty!"

Some classmates, recalling the past, suddenly realized: "Didn't Chen, the class beauty, have a crush on Lin Ran? And Lin Ran rejected her, right?"

Immediately, some busybodies started to stir things up:

"Oh—Lin Ran, you've suffered a huge loss!"

"Look how beautiful Chen Dabanhua is now. She still works in a state-owned factory and is already the factory's most beautiful girl."

"You're just a student, you're way out of my league~"

Hearing her classmates laughing like that, Chen Sisi smiled reservedly, but her gaze remained fixed on Lin Ran, a sense of pride rising in her heart.

She did have feelings for Lin Ran back then, but her confession was rejected, which has always bothered her.

nowadays.

Feng Shui turns.

She grew up to be even more beautiful, sexy, and mature, and she got a job in a state-owned factory, becoming one of the factory's most beautiful girls.

Lin Ran, however, has not made any progress and is still just a high school graduate.

There is already a gap between the two.

Now, it's as if the other person can't afford to be near me.

She didn't intend to take further revenge on Lin Ran; seeing his current state, she felt relieved.

After all, the two of them no longer belong to the same world. The other person missed out on them and is probably already feeling incredibly regretful and remorseful.

Thinking of this, Chen Sisi chuckled slightly and looked at Lin Ran:

Don't be discouraged.

"You're a good catch, keep it up, maybe you'll find a pretty good-looking girlfriend someday!"

His tone already carried a hint of superiority.

Lin Ran just smiled and didn't refute it.

But Qian Yi, quite boldly, patted his chest:

"fine!"

"Lin Ran, if you want one, I, Lao Qian, will introduce you to as many girlfriends as you want!"

"I'll take care of your life's most important event today!"

Lin Ran: "..."

Goodness, this Mr. Qian is truly exceptionally generous and loyal.

at this time.

Footsteps came from outside the private room.

Then, with a creak, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Everyone at both tables turned to look in the direction of the sound.

then.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't look away.

A young girl entered through the door.

She wore a light, sheer, fitted white shirt with a pretty red bow tie at the collar, paired with a khaki pleated skirt and brown leather shoes. Her black knee-high socks accentuated her beautiful, slender legs.

Above that was a beautiful face, exquisitely charming, pure and radiant beyond compare.

It's so good it could make your heart stop for a second.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

Holy crap! A fairy!

Under the intense gaze of countless eyes, the girl's eyes swept over everyone in the private room.

Ultimately, it fell on Lin Ran.

The girl's eyes lit up instantly, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her pure and beautiful face:

"Xiao Ran?"

The air suddenly solidified.

So quiet you can hear a pin drop.

Everyone in the private room slowly and stiffly turned their heads to look at Lin Ran, their eyes gradually revealing disbelief, shock, and incredulity.

Small? —However? —
