Sheng Tang Restaurant was located in a bustling area of the county town. As parking was not allowed in front of the establishment, Wu Tian alighted from his vehicle far away and had to walk the rest of the way.
By then, twenty to thirty people were already gathered in front of Sheng Tang Restaurant.
These were all young people in their twenties, and they were naturally Wu Tian’s high school classmates.
“President Xu, you are truly so wealthy! A place like Sheng Tang Restaurant is somewhere I wouldn’t even dare to look at normally!”
“Indeed, we are all classmates, but how can the gap between us be so vast?”
“I feel so ashamed compared to President Xu; it feels like I’ve lived the past twenty-odd years in vain!”
The classmates praised him in a continuous stream of words, and the center of their discussion was naturally Xu Kun, who was treating them today.
Hearing his classmates’ praise, Xu Kun felt immensely proud.
However, he merely shook his head outwardly and sighed, saying, “Oh dear, classmates, if you continue speaking like this, I’ll become too embarrassed!”
“We are all classmates, so don’t keep calling me President Xu; it’s too distant. You should just call me Xu Kun!”
The classmates chimed in, “How can that be? President Xu, you are a big boss now!”
“Calling you President Xu is out of respect!”
Xu Kun smiled with smug satisfaction and then turned his gaze to a female classmate beside him, “Classmate Bai, it’s been so long, you’ve truly become more beautiful!”
This Classmate Bai was naturally Bai Ruoqi.
Her red lips curved slightly, and she chuckled softly, “You flatter me, Xu Kun. Speaking of which, you’ve changed the most. Now you’re already a boss!”
Xu Kun waved his hand and chuckled, “It’s one thing for them to say it, but why are you saying it too?”
“How can I be a boss? You’re praising me too much.”
Although he said this, the slight twitch of his eyebrows still revealed an unconcealable pride.
Bai Ruoqi’s slender red lips pursed slightly, and she said no more.
Among this group of classmates adept at flattery, Bai Ruoqi was the quietest.
She would only respond with a smile when others initiated a conversation with her.
However, whether it was her classmates or passersby, no one could ignore her presence.
This was because she was simply too beautiful, as captivating as a celestial being.
In reality, Bai Ruoqi was not beautiful in her first or second year of high school; she was even considered quite ugly. Apart from Wu Tian, almost no one was willing to befriend her.
But for some reason, after one summer break, the eighteen-year-old Bai Ruoqi had undergone a complete transformation.
She was entirely different from before, so much so that even teachers had to verify her identity several times.
Her beauty at that time was earth-shattering; she was a landscape in herself.
Students from the entire school vied to see her, and male teachers often lost focus during classes because of her.
And now, Bai Ruoqi had blossomed into a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall, eclipsing even the top female celebrities seen on television.
She had a head of lustrous black hair, and her oval face was as exquisitely crafted as if by a divine being.
Everyone who saw her would think she had walked straight out of a painting.
Her figure was also exceptionally tall, standing at 1.7 meters, with a slender waist and a full bosom. Even in a simple white dress, she looked as stunning as a goddess.
Among these classmates were also many beauties, women who had numerous admirers and were usually very confident and proud of their appearance.
However, in front of Bai Ruoqi, even the most beautiful female classmates had to feel inferior, harboring both jealousy and reluctant admiration for her.
Xu Kun had been secretly in love with Bai Ruoqi since their school days; sometimes, he would even dream of doing intimate things with her.
The reason he had suddenly organized this class reunion today was simple: he wanted to seize the opportunity to get closer to Bai Ruoqi and make his dreams come true by winning her over!
To this end, seeing that Bai Ruoqi had not spoken, he leaned closer and asked her, “Classmate Bai, you are so beautiful, you must have had many people pursuing you, just like when we were studying, right?”
“I’m truly curious then, how outstanding must your current boyfriend be to possess a girl like you.”
Upon hearing this question, it wasn’t just Xu Kun; the other male classmates couldn’t help but prick up their ears, eagerly awaiting Bai Ruoqi’s reply.
After all, a girl as heavenly beautiful as Bai Ruoqi was the dream lover of all the male classmates!
Who wouldn’t want to know about her current situation?
Hearing the question, Bai Ruoqi still smiled slightly and replied politely, “You jest, Xu Kun. How could I have a boyfriend? I’ve been single since birth!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing Bai Ruoqi’s reply, all the male classmates present were greatly astonished.
To be single since birth meant that one had been single from birth until the present moment.
In other words, Bai Ruoqi was still a maiden!
Xu Kun was the most shocked among them. After a long while, he slowly regained his senses.
His gaze involuntarily swept over Bai Ruoqi’s flawless figure.
For a moment, his mouth felt incredibly dry, and he couldn’t help but swallow.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. A great beauty like Bai Ruoqi, if she were to be at his mercy in bed, wouldn’t that be incredibly satisfying?
Thinking of this, the fire in Xu Kun’s heart began to burn ever more intensely.
His eyes gleamed, and he asked somewhat impatiently, “Classmate Bai, since you are still single, what do you think of me?”
“Me?”
Bai Ruoqi was clearly somewhat taken aback by Xu Kun’s question.
Xu Kun, thinking that he had practically laid his cards on the table, quickly glanced at the classmates beside him.
Those flattering classmates immediately understood his intention and quickly chimed in with smiles:
“Classmate Bai, to be honest, I think you and President Xu are quite a match!”
“Indeed, you are a great beauty, and President Xu is now a successful businessman. A beauty matched with a hero, it’s only natural no matter how you look at it!”
“Let’s not say anything else, classmates. Let’s all support them! Get together, get together!”
With someone taking the lead, the classmates immediately began to egg them on.
If it were any other girl facing such a situation from her classmates, she would likely have been flustered and agreed immediately.
But Bai Ruoqi was completely unfazed. She merely smiled faintly and said, “Classmate Xu, please don’t make such jokes in the future.”
“This is just a class reunion, and I don’t have such intentions.”
“You are so outstanding now; you will surely find a girl who is even more outstanding than me.”
