Chapter 1395: Important Occasion
The matter of "money" finally overwhelmed Song Tan's last bit of reason, so she immediately began to say: "You know I'm short on money, yet you keep sending, sending, sending—this month, 5 cups of milk tea, 115 yuan."
"The flowers aren't worth much when sold second-hand, one bouquet a week, 90 yuan in total."
"Takeout three times, either cordyceps soup or stewed bird's nest, adding up to 284."
"And today's medicine... Classmate, I have a fever, but the temperature isn't high. I have roommates I can entrust, and I have medicine; I know how to use takeout. As a result, you started from vitamin C effervescent tablets, cold medicine, acetaminophen granules, and ibuprofen, and even amoxicillin..."
These numbers made the then-naive and poor Song Tan feel dizzy just calculating them: "This month, the money I transferred to you used up almost all my living expenses."
"You should pursue someone else; I have no more money."
"Xueying, you don't know!" Zheng Qu was also telling the story based on memory, telling it even more excitingly and dramatically than Song Tan recalled, and he even remembered the name of the boy opposite—
"Yuan Jiawen's face was green at the time!"
"Because Song Tan finished speaking, shoved the medicine at him, and left. As a result, many people were watching the spectacle, and someone even asked loudly if he was doing sales and getting a commission!"
"From then on, Song Tan became famous in the department. Even the counselor found Yuan Jiawen and told him to have a limit when pursuing classmates and not to cause trouble for others..."
Zheng Qu admired: "Song Tan, you are really firm!"
The protagonist of the story, Song Tan, frowned tightly: "Why was I so stupid before! He sent it, so I transferred the money? Why? I should have just thrown it away and ignored him completely! Let him spend as much as he wants!"
"If I had just thrown it away, maybe he would have given up faster!"
Lu Chuan held her hand and said firmly: "This kind of person, he must be doing sales! Don't think about it anymore."
Burning with a fever and lightheaded, yet having to fall into such trouble, and then thinking of her pitiful appearance trapped in the car, Lu Chuan wished he could return to her college days and properly block these annoyances and entanglements for her.
Huo Xueying was also angry!
"He was just lustful! Song Tan and I worked together for two years; we split the bill or took turns treating each other when eating or watching movies. She hates owing others the most! If that man really understood her, he wouldn't do such a thing at all!"
"Pah! What kind of pursuit is that! It's a good thing our Song Tan has a discerning eye and met Lu Chuan."
The three of them all had their own emotions, but Song Tan was the first to be happy: "Actually, I had forgotten it all. If you hadn't mentioned it, Zheng Qu, I wouldn't have remembered."
However, now that the memory had surfaced, she also remembered the counselor who had protected her, as well as her classmates, so she couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say there was a class reunion? That's fine, I'll bring a family member—did you invite the counselor?"
The family member, Lu Chuan, smiled slightly and squeezed her palm, clearly also looking forward to it immensely.
"Invited, invited!" Zheng Qu was extremely proud: "Three years after graduation, I'm the only one who could invite you! I'll tell everyone this good news right now!"
He looked at Huo Xueying, who was still feeling depressed, and hurriedly sacrificed a classmate: "That Yuan Jiawen is here too! Posting photos of his car and house on his social media... but just based on Lu Chuan's act of righteous courage, he could crush everyone else in seconds!"
Huo Xueying was a very worldly person and loved face-slapping plots the most! She was instantly happy and quickly looked at Song Tan's attire:
"Oh, it's too simple! Song Tan, I'll take leave tomorrow to go shopping with you! Let's buy clothes!"
How could a working person have so much leave!
Song Tan decisively refused: "You go to work properly; I'll go with Lu Chuan tomorrow."
Meanwhile, Zheng Qu had already efficiently changed the location of the class reunion to the farmhouse resort, so they could go early to play. He then said to Song Tan: "I initiated this reunion, but the cost needs to be split per person. Since there are many of us, it'll be about 200 yuan per person. Is that convenient for you?"
Song Tan liked this kind of arrangement and nodded decisively.
Lu Chuan spoke up: "Don't prepare tea and alcohol; we'll provide it. Let everyone taste the wild tea from our own home, thank you all for taking care of Tan Tan."
The tea and alcohol at the farmhouse resort were too expensive. As the initiator, Zheng Qu had originally planned to prepare them himself. The unit price wasn't high, but because there were many people, it would still cost three thousand yuan.
This was still because many people were driving and wouldn't drink.
Hearing Lu Chuan say this, and remembering that Song Tan's family sold agricultural products, he hesitated for a moment. Who knew Huo Xueying would immediately make the decision:
"Good, good, good! Song Tan! You must shock everyone! Let them all bow down to your vegetable fields and tea mountains!"
Thinking about it, she really loved her boyfriend, so she said painfully: "Zheng Qu, I'll drive when we come back tomorrow night. You should drink plenty of Tan Tan's family's alcohol!"
After saying that, she looked at Song Tan: "You didn't bring too much, did you?"
Actually, the things Song Tan brought had already been given away, but that didn't stop her from blinking: "No, about one or two liang per person, no more."
The white liquor, carefully bottled after being heavily diluted by Boss Chang, wasn't so easy to get drunk on, but the taste was extremely outstanding. Zheng Qu said there would be more than twenty people at the reunion. Song Tan felt it was worth it to take a few bottles to make Lu Chuan and Huo Xueying happy.
Thinking about it, she persuaded Huo Xueying: "It's brewed by my family; don't miss out—call a designated driver."
Huo Xueying was both ecstatic and conflicted: "This is too expensive..."
"It's fine." Song Tan patted her shoulder: "Just consider it 'a thousand gold pieces to make a beauty smile'."
Huo Xueying laughed "pfft": "Which beauty? Me or him?"
But she was an extremely free-spirited person and nodded: "Okay! I know you have the strength now, so give them a little shock, hahaha!"
After saying that, she looked at Zheng Qu cautiously and whispered: "He's silly and doesn't know yet! Let him be shocked tomorrow too!"
Song Tan nodded: "Okay."
She flipped through past memories and found that it was during college that everyone's thinking became more inclusive, and their sense of proportion and values were relatively balanced, so it was actually the time they got along the best and had the most feelings.
Wanting to make Huo Xueying and Lu Chuan happy was true, but the heart to host guests was also true.
And all of this, Lu Chuan had done before her.
The next moment, Lu Chuan seemed to sense something and leaned in: "Prepare some more local specialties, and arrange some for the counselor or the classmates and teachers you like later."
Seeing Song Tan nod, Lu Chuan also took out his phone and instructed Xiao Zhang Ge and Zhang Yanping to pack tea and alcohol and send them over via express delivery.
Ningcheng was more than four hours away from Yuncheng by car, so the express delivery would arrive tomorrow morning, and the class reunion was tomorrow night, so there was enough time.
By the way...
Attending an important occasion with his girlfriend for the first time, Lu Chuan immediately decided that while shopping tomorrow, he would also send the car for maintenance first! ===== CHAPTER 1396 =====
