Ge'er hadn't realized Lei Dongyi was this popular before. Why today...
A girl pointed at him and shrieked.
"Long time no see! I heard you settled in the US? When did you get back? Ah, why haven't you changed at all? Still so handsome!"
As soon as she said that, everyone's high school memories were brought back, and they started chatting animatedly around him.
Someone handed them a wine glass, and they began to toast and clink glasses, introducing their recent situations.
For a moment, the scene was incredibly lively.
Without turning around, Ge'er knew how popular Lei Dongyi was just by the commotion.
While questioning his popularity, she kicked Jiang Wei under the table.
Jiang Wei leaned her ear closer and said, "Listen to how popular he is, and how many rivals you have. Are you sure you want to associate with someone like that?"
Jiang Wei didn't know if she was eager to marry or genuinely infatuated with him.
"The more popular he is, the more it proves his charisma. We haven't contacted each other for years, and yet so many people still remember him when he returns!"
"Hey, wasn't your relationship quite good back then? Did you really not keep in touch all these years? No matter what, since he's back, you should at least say hello?"
Ge'er found her words quite interesting.
"Why should I greet him proactively? Is it my wedding today? Did he give me money? Do I owe him anything?"
"...That's not what I meant. You've been in Nan Cheng for so many years, you're practically the host. He traveled such a long way back..."
"His return has nothing to do with me. As a man, he hasn't proactively approached me to speak, so why should I approach him?"
Although Ge'er had a point, Jiang Wei still felt something was off.
Back then, when the teacher formed a study group, they were the leaders.
It was obvious they were often seen together.
However, Ge'er's arrogance wasn't a recent development. Over the years, no man had ever caught her eye.
Except for Shang Jincheng.
Alas, she really couldn't understand her taste.
"Alright, alright. If you don't want to speak first, fine. Anyway, I'll speak first later, and you can back me up a few times. Thanks."
As they were speaking, Lu Man walked over, holding Lei Dongyi's arm.
"Someone here remembers you too, and they even actively asked about you just now. Jiang Wei, do you remember her?"
"She was deskmates with Zhan Jingge for two years. Aren't you quite familiar with Zhan Jingge? You should remember her."
Before Lei Dongyi could answer, Jiang Wei stood up with a fawning expression, holding her wine glass.
She also tugged Ge'er's arm, signaling her to stand up too.
"Old classmate, long time no see."
Lei Dongyi had been drinking for a while, feeling slightly warm. The collar of his crisp shirt was slightly open.
Just ten minutes ago, he had seemed steady and mature, but now he exuded a hint of rugged charm.
As he stood steady, his gaze swept lightly across Ge'er's face before returning to Jiang Wei, his expression flawlessly calm.
"Long time no see."
His voice was a super magnetic baritone, and Jiang Wei was almost mesmerized by him, proactively clinking his glass.
"So, you're not leaving this time?"
Lei Dongyi, whether he genuinely didn't hear or was deliberately playing hard to get, raised an eyebrow after she spoke.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Wei was, after all, a woman. No matter how much she could blabber in private, she became timid when facing everyone.
"I mean... it's rare for you to come back, and it's rare for everyone to gather like this. On such a joyous occasion, it would be a shame to just disperse. After dinner, let's go to a club."
After speaking, seeing that classmates from other tables were looking their way, she raised her voice.
"Let's treat it as a class reunion. I'm treating today, and no one is allowed to leave after dinner!"
