Chapter 461

Xiao Chukun deliberately mentioned the little woods, just to see Han Meiqing blush.

Even if she were more composed, the mere thought of their reckless youth and those sweet, ambiguous memories would surely make her feel incredibly shy.

Xiao Chukun felt that he had to gradually make Han Meiqing think more about the past; once she thought about those heart-stirring memories, it would surely rekindle the fire in her heart that had been waiting for over twenty years.

Han Meiqing naturally knew what he meant, and while feeling shy, she couldn't help but change the subject, blurting out, "By the way, how is our old class teacher doing now?"

Xiao Chukun said, "Not bad, though his legs and feet aren't very convenient. Last time we had an old classmate reunion, we specifically invited him to visit our alma mater once, and even asked him to give us a lecture in the classroom."

"Really?" Han Meiqing sighed, "It's such a pity I couldn't attend that reunion of yours!"

Xiao Chukun smiled, "That time we just had a small-scale gathering; those who came were all old classmates living in or near Jin Ling, and they were all male classmates."

Han Meiqing nodded and said, "It seems like quite a lot of classmates are coming to today's gathering, because I contacted several girls I was close with back then, and they were all willing to come."

"That's good," Xiao Chukun said with a smile, "Then we can have a proper reunion this time."

Han Meiqing said, "But I heard that Pan Yuanming was dealt with a while ago because of corruption issues? He is currently being detained while awaiting public prosecution."

"That's right," Xiao Chukun felt a surge of anger whenever he thought about how Pan Yuanming had brought his son-in-law to show off in front of him last time.

That old bastard really didn't hold back in slandering and mocking him in front of their old classmates.

Now that he was behind bars, he couldn't be happier.

So, he said with a chuckle, "That guy Pan, he completely deserved it. You say you have a good job, but you don't do it well, thinking all day long about using your position for corruption—how can that work? Our teacher taught us back then that even if we didn't become successful, we must at least become upright people. A person like him has problems with his character to begin with!"

Han Meiqing nodded in agreement; most of the old intellectuals of their generation were actually very upright, and everyone had gone to university with the attitude of contributing to the country and society.

Although Han Meiqing had been living in the United States, she had always kept her heart tied to the motherland. During several major natural disasters in the country, Han Meiqing had donated large amounts of cash and supplies, and had even received commendations from the state.

However, she had always been very low-key in her actions and had never mentioned such things to others, so even old classmates like Xiao Chukun had no idea that Han Meiqing was also an extraordinary overseas philanthropist.

Just then, Xiao Chukun's phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was the WeChat group for the university student council. The group hadn't had any activity for several days, but suddenly someone @everyone and said, "Classmates, Meiqing is organizing a reunion this noon, have you all rushed over?"

"I'm in Jin Ling and am already preparing to head to the banquet!"

"I'm on my way to Jin Ling, estimated to be 100 kilometers away, arriving in an hour and a half!"

"I just got off the plane! Flew in specifically from Jingcheng!"

At this moment, someone @Xiao Chukun and said, "Chukun, come out, your first love has returned! You old guy didn't know yet, did you?"

The one speaking was Zhou Qing, who had a decent relationship with Xiao Chukun.

Last time Pan Yuanming mocked Xiao Chukun, it was thanks to him helping to smooth things over on the side.

Seeing Zhou Qing @ him, Xiao Chukun smiled and sent an eye-rolling emoji, saying, "What makes you think I didn't know? If I told you I'm with Meiqing right now, would you believe it?"

Zhou Qing sent a voice message, laughing, "I believe it, of course I believe it. What kind of relationship do you two have? Back then, you two were the school's recognized, match-made-in-heaven couple!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chukun felt wonderful inside, so he also sent a voice message back, laughing heartily, "Haha, Zhou Qing, you only speak the absolute truth!"

Li Lan, a female classmate who had been extremely close to Han Meiqing back then, immediately followed up with an angry emoji and replied, "Xiao Chukun, you scumbag, you still have the face to laugh? It was you who drove Sister Meiqing away back then! I haven't had a chance to see Sister Meiqing for so many years!"

Xiao Chukun felt awkward again. The fact that he had unintentionally cheated on Ma Lan after drinking back in school was known to everyone; even thinking about it now made him feel incredibly ashamed—it was simply the greatest disgrace of his life.

Just as Xiao Chukun didn't know how to reply, someone in the group who hadn't spoken at all jumped out and directly sent a red envelope.

Xiao Chukun had developed a conditioned reflex for grabbing red envelopes, so he immediately clicked on it subconsciously, only to be surprised to find that he had actually claimed 200 yuan!

Only then did he realize that many other classmates had also received 200 yuan.

It seemed this was a big red envelope with 200 yuan for everyone!

Xiao Chukun was originally gloating over this unexpected windfall of 200 yuan, but when he saw the other person's nickname, "Missing that beautiful sunny day," his face turned black with anger!

At this moment, the classmates in the group were exploding!

"Wow, Boss Xie is impressive!"

"Indeed! Boss Xie, who has been lurking for ages, gives out 200 yuan per person the moment he appears; truly extraordinary."

"I'd heard long ago that Boss Xie had made a fortune over the years; it really lives up to the reputation."

"That's right! Boss Xie is a well-known Hong Kong businessman now; what is this little bit of money to him?"

That person sent a smiling emoji and another voice message, speaking with a Hong Kong accent, "Oh my, Meiqing is back from the United States, I'm very excited, so I'm just sending a red envelope to let everyone have some fun."

After finishing, he sent another red envelope.

Xiao Chukun looked at the other person's nickname, which seemed to imply he couldn't forget Han Meiqing, and naturally felt very unhappy.

However, seeing the red envelope sent out, he couldn't bear to let it go without grabbing it.

So he could only curse the guy for showing off while reaching out to click on the red envelope.

Unexpectedly, this was another 200-yuan red envelope for everyone!

With these two red envelopes, the other person had already given out over ten thousand yuan!

The group was suddenly filled with many more flattering voices.

The other person laughed at this time, "Everyone pay attention, the third round of red envelopes is coming!"

After saying that, he sent out another red envelope.

Everyone scrambled to grab it, and Xiao Chukun also unworthily clicked to grab the red envelope.

It turned out this third red envelope was also 200 yuan!

Xiao Chukun was a bit puzzled; he really couldn't figure out who this person could be. After all, they didn't have any classmates from Hong Kong back then, they were all mainland classmates. So who exactly was this person with the full-blown Hong Kong-Taiwan accent?

At this moment, the other person sent out a fourth red envelope.

A steady 200 yuan per person, as always.

Immediately followed by a fifth red envelope, still 200 yuan...

In just a minute or two, the classmates online in the group had all grabbed 1, 00 yuan in red envelopes.

But Han Meiqing had not grabbed the other person's red envelopes at all.

At this time, "Missing that beautiful sunny day" said in the group again, "I flew from Hong Kong to Jin Ling this morning and am currently staying at the Bai Jinhangong Hotel. I heard Meiqing is also staying at this hotel. I don't know which room you are in, Meiqing? If it's convenient, please accept my friend request and tell me your room number in a private message, and I'll come find you for a chat!"

After saying that, he also @Han Meiqing at the end.

Seeing this, Han Meiqing couldn't help but frown tightly and said faintly, "This Xie Wenru is still the same as he was twenty-some years ago, so fond of showing off!"
