Chapter 52: College Classmate

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhao Yu turned his head when he heard someone calling him. It was a man wearing a suit with a big belly and a chubby face.

“Who are you?”

Zhao Yu was confused. He didn’t seem to recognize this person in front of him.

The man was also taken aback by Zhao Yu’s question and wondered if he had mistaken the person. He asked, “Did you study at the College of Arts and Sciences?”

College classmates?

“Yes, I did!” Zhao Yu nodded and said, “I graduated in 2018…”

“Well, I knew it! How could I mistake you? I’m Li Wenbo, don’t you remember me?!” Li Wenbo exclaimed.

…..

Li Wenbo?!

Zhao Yu was surprised. An image of a slender figure appeared in his mind. “You’ve gained so much weight now?!”

Li Wenbo laughed and said, “Hey, after graduating, I joined a tobacco company and started drinking every day. That’s why I ended up like this!”

They were not very close, as there were students from all over the place in their class, and classmates from different regions liked to stick together. Both of them were locals from Chang’an and would occasionally gather for a meal when a wealthy second-generation classmate treated them.

Li Wenbo looked at Zhao Yu and said with a smile, “Where have you been all these years? You haven’t attended any class reunions…”

“I went out of town to pursue my career. I just returned recently!” Zhao Yu replied casually.

“Oh…”

Li Wenbo smiled and said, “Well, it’s quite a coincidence that you came back now. I’m getting married tomorrow…”

“Married?!” Zhao Yu was startled. It was the first time he had encountered a classmate getting married, so it felt very strange to him. That being said, he was very curious. This trip to Earth for him was a chance to experience all that life on Earth had to offer. He wanted to see and hear everything.

“If I have the time, I’ll come and take a look!”

“Great! I have something to take care of, so I’ll go now!

If

Li Wenbo quickly bid farewell and left.

Back at home, Li Wenbo immediately turned on his computer and logged into the QQgroup called ‘Youth Fleeting, Timeless Beauty.’

There were only it people in the group, and their locations were all shown as Chang’an. However, there were 8 people online.

If

@everyone, do you know who I ran into today?”

“Who did you run into?”

If

It’s not your ex-girlfriend, is it?!”

Several socialites replied promptly.

Li Wenbo smiled and posted, “I ran into Zhao Yu.

It

“Ah?!”

II

Who’s Zhao Yu?

II

Oh, I remember now. That guy who used to work part-time!”

II

It seems like he hasn’t been in touch with us since graduation…

II

“Maybe after graduation, he broke up with Gao Qi and lost contact. I remember when we just graduated, he attended a gathering with Gao Qi. Right, @Gao Qi?” a girl named Wang Qian said.

Zhao Yu?

At this moment, Gao Qi, who had become a boss of a cosmetics store, naturally saw the messages in the group. She remembered the days when she was together with Zhao Yu in college.

She raised her hand and typed a few words on the keyboard before sending them out.

II

I haven’t been in contact with Zhao Yu for a long time, @Wang Qian. Are you pregnant?”

Damn it!

Wang Qian cursed harshly. Although she was roommates with Gao Qi, they never got along, especially after graduation.

Gao Qi asked if she was pregnant because Wang Qian had married into a wealthy family. She wasn’t the type to get pregnant easily, and she had a hard time being bashed by her mother-in-law for it.

The other classmates didn’t know and care about the sort of argument that was happening between the two. They continued chatting about Zhao Yu in the group.

The group, which had been inactive for months, was unusually active today.

Many hidden individuals also emerged.

Li Wenbo was excited to see that his single comment had sparked such a lively discussion in the group. He quickly added, “Hey, I also invited Zhao Yu to attend my wedding tomorrow…”

“How about it? Is he coming?”

“He agreed!

II

At that moment, Wang Qian suddenly spoke up, “Today, a colleague came looking for me and asked about Zhao Yu’s situation five years ago…”

“I suspect that he may have done something wrong, become a fugitive, or committed a crime to come out…”

II

@Gao Qi, the colleague also inquired about something related to you. Did you two do anything illegal back then?”

Gao Qi felt helpless and replied, “Stop making baseless accusations. I broke up with Zhao Yu a long time ago. I don’t know what he did back then, and no colleague came to me!”

“Gao Qi, think carefully. Did Zhao Yu hide something from you back then?!

II

Earth Federation.

“Received. The prototype from the Moon has arrived…”

“Good, let the representatives from the advertising agencies come over…”

Since the negotiation ended, the Earth Federation had gathered the elite members of major advertising agencies worldwide. They were on standby, ready to produce advertisements for Blue Moon Technology’s three products.

These advertising experts had been waiting impatiently for a whole day. Unfortunately, they had not been informed about the specific products they were supposed to promote.

When they arrived at the exhibition booth and saw the products they were supposed to work on, they were completely shocked.

The magnetic levitation car could hover and fly up to a height of ten thousand meters above the ground without the need for any magnetic tracks. It could reach a maximum speed of looo kilometers per hour.

The projection touch watch allowed users to control everything by simply touching the air, whether it was for gaming, work, or entertainment.

The intelligent robots were designed for daily life and could assist employers in handling most tasks. There were also industrial robots capable of replacing 99% of the manual labor in Earth’s factories.

No matter which product it was, none of them seemed like something Earth was capable of producing.

This excited every advertising expert present. Regardless of where the products came from, they believed that once the advertisements aired, there would be a global sensation.

“This will be a groundbreaking advertising campaign…”

II

No, what will truly change the world are these three products…”

At the hotel entrance, the eight of them chatted for a while until someone pointed to the nearby entrance gate.

“Look, is that Zhao Yu?”

Everyone turned to look.

…..

Near the entrance gate, a man dressed in casual attire was talking to the security guard, seemingly mentioning that he was here to attend a wedding.

Wang Qian glanced at Gao Qi, her lips curled up, and she waved her hand, shouting loudly, “Zhao Yu, over here!”

Zhao Yu turned his head and saw eight young people standing at the entrance of the hotel, his former classmates.

He walked over and smiled, “Long time no see, are you guys waiting for me?”

Of course! See Gao Qi here? She had her makeups on just for you!” Wang Qian said playfully.

Gao Qi snorted coldly and said indifferently, “Don’t be presumptuous. We’re waiting for He Jingxuan!”

Zhao Yu naturally didn’t believe Wang Qian’s words.

Someone was curious and asked directly, “Zhao Yu, where have you been all these years? You’ve never attended any class reunions!”

II

I went out of town to pursue my career and didn’t have time to come back!

II

Oh, so you’re afraid of getting drunk and didn’t drive here today?”

Zhao Yu looked up at the sky and smiled, “I thought it would be difficult to find parking here, so I didn’t drive!”

II

Haha, what kind of car do you drive?” a classmate asked.

“A flying car!” Zhao Yu answered truthfully, but unfortunately, no one believed him.

“He’s here! He Jingxuan’s vehicle…”

Wang Qian, with sharp eyes, suddenly looked towards the entrance.

Zhao Yu turned his head and saw a shining green SUV driving in.

He didn’t know much about cars or brands, but he thought this car looked more stylish and imposing than the ones he usually saw on the road.

The car stopped, and a graceful figure stepped out.

“Hello, everyone!”

He Jingxuan was one of the few second-generation rich kids in their class. Her family owned a furniture factory, and with the rise of online sales, they had expanded their business beyond local customers to reach major provinces.

Although she was known as a rich and beautiful girl in school, she was very kind and often invited local classmates for dinners and gatherings.

After some polite greetings, Wang Qian pointed at Zhao Yu with a smile and said, “He Jingxuan, guess who this is…”

He Jingxuan stared at Zhao Yu for a moment and said, “You’re Zhao Yu?”

“He Jingxuan, long time no see!” Zhao Yu greeted her with a smile.

Before they could continue chatting, Li Wenbo came out and urged them, “Let’s not stand outside. Let’s go in. It’s about to start!”

The group entered the venue, and Li Wenbo stood at the entrance as a greeter.

On the way, Wang Qian cheerfully said, “Zhao Yu, what’s your QQnumber? I’ll add you to our group!”

Zhao Yu thought for a moment and gave her his long-unused QQnumber.

As classmates, they were assigned to the same table.

Oh, these candies are nice. 1’11 bring some for my little one…”

“How old is your child?”

II

Four years old, at that troublesome age. Fortunately, she’s in kindergarten now, so I can have some free time…”

“Which kindergarten does she go to?”

“Little Star Kindergarten. Have you heard of it? It’s a prestigious kindergarten, and the tuition is quite expensive. 180k for one year. I was actually planning to buy a new car, but raising a child is so expensive…”

“You’re right. Although my daughter is only one year old, we’re already planning to buy a house in a good school district…”

“Which school district are you looking at?”

“Railway Estate…”

“Oh, that’s not cheap, and it’s close to top-notch schools, right?”

“Yes, we’re planning to sell our current house for about two million and get another two million from both sets of parents, so we’ll be able to afford it…”

Listening to the conversation among his former classmates, Zhao Yu found it quite interesting.

If he hadn’t traveled to the moon, perhaps he would be discussing mundane topics like everyday life just like them.

After chatting for a while, the wedding ceremony began. Unlike others who ate while watching, Zhao Yu didn’t touch his chopsticks. He watched the entire wedding process with keen interest.

An hour later, the wedding ended, and the guests dispersed.

“How are you all going back?”

“I came by car…”

“Oh, an Audi A4! Liu is doing well!

Hey, I became a junior manager, nothing worth mentioning…”

In the usual bragging session, Wang Qian turned to Zhao Yu and asked, “Where do you live? Is it far? Many of our classmates drove here. I can give you a ride…” She glanced at Gao Qi as she spoke.

n

No need!” Zhao Yu replied, “It would take four to five hours to get to my house, but the temporary place I’m staying at is only a three- to four-minute drive. No need to trouble you all…”

Going back to the moon did indeed take over four hours, but returning to Blue Moon only took three minutes.

Upon hearing his response, everyone couldn’t help but look down on him.

A journey of four to five hours from Chang’an City was either to a county or a village. It seemed that he hadn’t achieved much in these years.

As for his temporary residence, everyone unanimously believed it was a rented small house in some urban village.

After leaving the hotel, Zhao Yu wandered around the city.

Attending this wedding, he felt the experience was quite good. Whether it was the wedding ceremony itself or sitting in the same hall with hundreds of familiar and unfamiliar faces, it all felt very fresh and made him gain some more insight into things..
