Since the monitress was so zealous in her invitation, it was impossible to counter it anymore.

Luo Nanchu replied aloofly, [I’ll consider it.]

[What is there to consider? Everyone in our class is very eager to meet you. You have to come tomorrow.]

[Alright, I can’t decline such fervency. I’ll squeeze out some time tomorrow.], Luo Nanchu replied. She affected reluctance.

After a long pause from the monitress, she finally sent a smiley and typed, [I’ll tell our class then. You have to come tomorrow.]

Luo Nanchu sent a smiley face back.

The monitress’ profile picture dimmed as she went offline.

Luo Nanchu propped her chin up as she lay on her stomach on the bed. Did her classmates think she was an easy target now? She pondered a little suspiciously.

These high school classmates should be the people who knew her best…

…

It might have been a coincidence, but Dark Night was the location for the class reunion.

After applying some makeup, Nanchu subsequently arrived at the location with waning enthusiasm.

She walked toward the booth number that the monitress had given her. From afar, she saw a young woman standing outside the door. The young woman’s eyes lit up upon seeing her, and she rushed forward with a grin.

“Student Luo, you’re here! Everyone’s been waiting for you for some time!” The monitress gave a very warm welcome.

Nanchu avoided her outstretched arm unobtrusively and pushed back the stray strands of hair by her cheeks.

Smiling lightly, she said, “My apologies. There was a slight traffic jam on the way.”

Her made-up face looked elegant and charming under the hazy lights. Even though the monitress was full of smiles, there was a darkness in her gaze.

She opened the door to invite Luo Nanchu in. The rather large booth contained about 30 people, and Nanchu swept a glance over them through narrowed eyes.

Oh wow, practically the entire class was here.

Upon her entrance, everyone in the large booth fell silent as all of their attention turned toward her.

Luo Nanchu did not think this rude, but walked inside with a smile.

A female classmate waved her over beamingly and offered, “Student Luo, come sit by me.”

Luo Nanchu observed her face. She must have done some plastic surgery. If not for Luo Nanchu’s great memory, she would not have recognized her.

The plastic face of the female classmate smiled tenderly before saying, “You probably don’t remember me, Student Luo. I’m Xu Linlin—sound familiar?”

Luo Nanchu propped up her face with a hand and shot a look over before smiling slightly and apologizing, “My apologies. I don’t have a good memory, so I don’t remember you.”

The smile on Xu Linlin’s plastic face froze. Qin Su had been dubbed the school beauty at X High School and had competed with Luo Nanchu for the title of beauty of the year. However, after losing by a single vote, Qin Su had painstakingly waited for Luo Nanchu to finally attend school before discussing a re-vote. When she could finally broach the subject, Luo Nanchu merely lifted her head up from her desk and shot her a non-smile.

“You’re so childish,” she had said. Her tone had been so sarcastic that Xu Linlin had never been able to forget it to this day.

The first round of the beauty contest had naturally been spontaneously organized by their own classmates, but Xu Linlin, who had been known for her good looks since she was little, could not reconcile herself with the results. She could take losing to Qin Su perfectly fine, but was extremely unwilling to have lost to Luo Nanchu. She didn’t think that she was any less beautiful than Luo Nanchu, so what right did Luo Nanchu have to one-up her?

Her loss had followed her for three whole years, and by the third year of high school, she was completely living under the shadows of Qin Su and Luo Nanchu. The top position in the realm of academics went to the monitress, but the top position in the realm of beauty was not hers. She had totally existed as a nondescript character.

All these years, Xu Linlin had thought that Luo Nanchu was the cause of all her unhappiness in high school.

Thus, she immediately decided to bring her boyfriend to the class reunion when the monitress mentioned that Luo Nanchu would be attending.
