Liu Mang's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly surging with ripples, causing those students to see and think of Lin Xi who had always been following behind Ang Youyong.

"Of course I remember. The studying committee members are famous people in our class. In the past, when they were paired up with Brother Yong every day, I thought they had some sort of special relationship. Hahaha!"

"That's right, that's right. Every year, the school scholarships would have his share, and he's almost done it for Yuan'er. For us, we can only sigh. No, we can only look up at him."

"Yeah, he used to be a great scholar, and his talent has captivated quite a few girls. The love letter I wrote him seemed to have been thrown into a trash can as soon as he turned around."

….

With the first person making an appearance, the others naturally started to chat as well. All sorts of teasing and reminiscing about the past filled the banquet hall, and it was even noisier than when Ang Youyong had arrived. This showed the draining effect of Liu Mang's words.

Actually, if not for Liu Mang's words, perhaps not many people would be able to hold back Lin Xi tonight, or perhaps no one would think that Lin Xi stood in front of them all those years ago, and was an unknown.

Although Lin Xi had a good grade in high school and was known by the parents as someone else's child, he was extremely thin and weak. His voice and temperament could be said to be worlds apart, unlike his current sunny and optimistic self.

Therefore, without Liu Mang's embodiment, it would be difficult for anyone to overlap Lin Xi with the learning committee member in their memories.

The crowd continuously jeered, causing Lin Xi, who was chuckling, to raise his eyebrows. The hand he extended out also took advantage of the situation to lift and push his glasses, without the slightest uneasiness or awkwardness.

"Squad leader, it's really been a long time. I've been thinking about you." Lin Xi smiled and greeted Liu Mang before turning around to look at his fellow students, and said loudly: "Dear students, long time no see, are you all alright?"

The noise from the crowd once again rose and fell, as though it could be seen that they had a good impression of Lin Xi.

The warm smile on Liu Mang's face did not change, but the depths of his eyes shivered. Lin Xi's words were obviously a reflection of the sand, as he pointed at what had happened all those years ago, but he seemed to have thought of something, and a deep disdain appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by Ang Youyong who suddenly stepped forward and laughed.

"Aiyo, why are you so late? Why don't we eat first?" It should still be some time before that couple at my house arrives. Let's just ignore him for now. "However, let's first agree that no matter how much we eat tonight, we will treat them. No one is allowed to fight with us for it. After we finish eating, we can go play karaoke. We won't return until we're drunk tonight."

After saying that, Ang Youyong held up a cup of wine, bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "We, Old An, will be getting married in a few more days. Since everyone has come to give us face, then we will not say anymore, we will do it first!"

Ang Youyong raised his head and downed one cup. After drinking three cups in a row, his expression did not change and waves of shouts followed. It was as if he had forgotten about Lin Xi in an instant.

When Ang Youyong put down the wine cup, the others also gradually dispersed, and each of them chatted with their respective targets, eating or drinking what they deserved, and even walked away with a light smile, returning to their seats to pour and drink.

Who let Ang Youyong's words make it so clear. If anyone didn't give him face tonight, he would not dare to give them face.

At that time, Ang Youyong walked to Lin Xi's side, shot a glance at Liu Mang, who was in an independent world, and said softly: "Brother Xi, we did not invite that old fellow, he came uninvited."

Lin Xi waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he did not care about Liu Mang at all. "It's fine, the person who came is a guest, keep your temper."

"Let's see if this old fellow is looking for trouble tonight. Brother Xi, be careful."

Lin Xi pushed his glasses up: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After three rounds of drinking, five tasty dishes, toasts between the students, and the thick memories of the past, there were even a few people who became excited and wrote a few limerick poems, which attracted another round of cheers, bringing the enthusiasm for the gathering to a new climax.

During this period of time, there were also people who came to drink with Lin Xi, and among them were many female students, but they were already mortal women, and their purpose in coming to find Lin Xi was just to build relations with him, who knows, there might be a day when they would need him.

Moreover, marriage at the age of twenty was a common phenomenon. If one did not get married by the age of twenty-two, it was inevitable that people would gossip about him and say that he did not have the ability to find a wife.

This year, Lin Xi was exactly twenty-three years old, and was not far from his twenty-fourth birthday.

For those present, many of the students were already married, and there were even some whose children could soak in the sauce.

Even though he was one year older than Lin Xi, he had already been married the year before last. Now that his wife was ten months pregnant, it was very clear that she was going to give birth soon.

In high school, Liu Mang was the class monitor for Lin Xi's class, but there were two people that he couldn't control. One of them was Ang Youyong, and even if he couldn't, he wouldn't be able to beat him.

At that time, not only would Ang Youyong protect him, there were even teachers supporting him from behind. The reason was because Lin Xi's results were among the top.

In those three years, the three of them had clashed quite a bit, but Lin Xi and Ang Youyong were indeed wearing the same pants, so Liu Mang was always at a disadvantage.

Now that everyone was an adult, they could be considered to have washed their cards once more. There was no need to mention what happened to Lin Xi.

On the other hand, because of the help of his parents, Liu Mang was acting like a dog right now. Not only did he get a beautiful wife, he was also the Vice General Manager of a large Jewelry Company.

He had heard about Ang Youyong organising a reunion the day before yesterday, but he didn't invite Ang Youyong to. This made him extremely furious, and the grudge from the past surged to the surface in his heart.

But at the same time, he also thought that since Ang Youyong didn't invite him, then there could only be one possibility, and that was that Lin Xi would definitely come.

If you didn't invite me, I wouldn't have been able to come, so he came uninvited today. He didn't believe that Ang Youyong would be able to kick him out in front of so many people, and he only had one reason to come to the reunion this year.

However, Ang Youyong was just like him, with a background that was on par with him, there was no point in looking for Ang Youyong unhappily, but there was still Lin Xi today, wasn't there?
