after marrying a nemesis

I greeted the others, and it was almost time for dinner, so I started to take my seats. Eight people just sat around the Eight Immortals table, chatting and waiting for the food to be served.

When old classmates get together, it is natural to recall the past, just pick up a few interesting things from high school, and they can be used as conversation material for a while.

"I still remember that Lin Chushi always listened to songs with earphones in the self-study class, and was finally caught by the class leader and dragged to the stage to sing," someone said, "Your singing voice that is out of tune is really intoxicating, and you are too. Really dare to sing."

And when it comes to young people, there are not many people who have not done stupid things. Everyone has a dark history.

Lin Chushi felt embarrassed about being outed, but he forced himself to be justified: "The old class asked me to sing, can I not sing?"

"It's even more extreme. Our school can't help cell phones. At that time, you put your cell phone on the charging port on the podium to charge it during the break. As a result, within a few minutes of class, the cell phone rang. The teacher asked who it was several times. You just went up to get it in a desperate manner, and you promised the teacher that you will mute it next time, are you trying to piss him off?"

Lin Chushi felt a great injustice: "This is my sincere guarantee."

Zhuang Wen clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Yes, that's right, I remember this. Later, the teacher had to ask it every time in class. Did no one charge it this time? Did you turn on the mute this time? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha .”

Lin Chushi: "...Are you here to cleanse me, or to expose my dark history?"

"It's not without bright moments. Doesn't your painting represent our school's national first prize?" Bi Yao said with a smile, "Now your trophy and photos are still in the school history museum."

Lin Chushi immediately puffed up his chest, looked gratefully at the fireman Bi Yao, and then heard Bi Yao continue to say with a smile: "When you went to receive the award, you went to the wrong venue and missed it. In the end, the trophy will still be there." It was specially sent to the school."

Lin Chushi: "...You guys are killing me."

Bi Yao laughed loudly, poured himself into his wine glass, and said, "What's the matter, it means that when you're not around, we all miss you and always mention you, but you don't say anything about it." We kept in touch, and we didn’t even know when we returned home, it’s unreasonable, you have to drink this cup.”

Lin Chushi had nothing to say, so he picked up the wine glass with a wry smile and said, "Yeah, I'm not thoughtful, I'll take this glass."

It is convenient to land on the ground and look up, drink a cup, clean.

Bi Yao gave a thumbs up: "Refreshing."

There was also a voice of admiration at the table: "Master Lin is not bad, these years are really not for nothing."

They raised their wine glasses one after another and wanted to clink glasses with Lin Chushi. If Lin Chushi refused, he would say, "Why, only give Bi Yao face, but not us? Treating them too differently."

This group of people has been troublemakers since they were students. Before Lin Chushi came, he knew that he would be tortured by them, so he no longer shied away, and bumped into them all with a smile.

After drinking for a while, I didn't eat much food, but I drank a lot of wine.

Lin Chushi had a good capacity for alcohol, but he couldn't drink so violently. Fortunately, everyone punished him. After all, he had a sense of propriety, so he took a short break and chatted while eating and drinking.

After reminiscing about the past, we talked about our respective lives and developments now. In fact, the family backgrounds of the people here are not bad, and they are generally on the same level. It’s not bad, so after all these years, they’ve been quite glamorous. Some are in public office, some move bricks in CBD buildings, some start their own businesses after working for two years, and there are families like Bi Yao. If you have a mine, you are the boss.

To count them down, Lin Chushi was the only one. He didn't have a serious job, and he was busy abroad for a few years.

When Lin Chushi said this, everyone listened and laughed at him: "Damn, the artist is so modest, we have all seen the report about your award, and I heard that you sell at least a few hundred thousand for a painting now, and you still take us for a living salary." joke."

Lin Chushi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What, where did you all hear the rumors?"

There are only two paintings that sell for hundreds of thousands. One is an award-winning painting that was fired, and the other was hung in an art exhibition. I don’t know who bought it, and this kind is not mass-produced, let alone How often can he paint one, even if he paints more a year, it may not be sold.Usually, he would contact people to pick up some jobs. After he became famous, people would occasionally come to ask for paintings, but that was not a lot of money, and he barely supported himself, not counting his purchase of pens and paints. of it.

Anyway, if his brother hadn't been giving him money to fill it in, he might have starved to death on the street long ago.

"Anyway, you don't have to sit at work, and you can do what you like as you please, which is already much better than social animals like us." The speaker was a classmate who works in an Internet company and is mainly responsible for technical maintenance. There are thick dark circles hanging under his eyes. Sparse, only the beer belly has protruded first, less than 30 years old looks like almost 40 years old, a look that has been squeezed dry by 996.

Alas, no matter how vigorous and glamorous it looks on the outside, when it comes to the difficulties of adults, everyone still sighs sadly.

"Speaking of this, there is a person who you can never imagine what he has become now," a classmate who works in a TV station suddenly said with a mysterious expression, "Do you still remember Nie Han?"

As soon as the name came out, the atmosphere on the scene seemed to change suddenly. Lin Chushi unconsciously straightened his back slightly, and turned his head to look at the speaker.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, the classmate straightened up his expression proudly, and said, "I have a colleague who is in charge of the financial section. One time, I was in charge of a special topic, and I wanted to interview some representatives of emerging young entrepreneurs in this city." , As a result, I saw that Nie Han was among the interviewees."

Zhuang Wen first exclaimed: "Wow, is he so powerful now?"

Someone said suspiciously: "Same name, right? The name Nie Han is not difficult to see."

"Yeah, how poor he was back then, can he afford the money to start his own business?" Someone said bluntly, "Even if he did well in the college entrance examination and performed well in college, he would be at a higher level when he came out. The company is just working for people, and he is still so young, can he have an annual salary of 50, where did he get the venture capital?"

Someone laughed: "It can't be like on TV, where a rich father comes from the sky and inherits a huge inheritance for him, right? Aren't his parents dead long ago?"

"Winning the lottery is also possible, haha."

……

Disputing and doubting voices kept coming and going, and the warm and harmonious atmosphere that was full of old friends gathering just now seemed to be enveloped by a bitter mood. The expressions of the people present seemed to have undergone a change in an instant: The self-deprecating and complaining instantly transformed into a concentrated mocking attack on another person, becoming aggressive, harsh, and extremely ugly.

When Lin Chu was in it, he seemed to be pricked by a needle, and he clearly felt the changes. He glanced over each of them, almost taken aback by the unprovoked malice on their faces.

The reporter classmate didn't realize it, but shook his head triumphantly, and said: "So you must not have imagined it, even I didn't believe it at first, and I went to look through the photos and introductions of the interviewees. It's that Nie Han."

The appearance of everyone opening their mouths is really like the villain in Van Gogh's painting with his mouth open and screaming, his face is distorted. It seems that he can't accept this fact. The people who are excluded and looked down upon have actually walked far ahead of them after a lapse of several years.

"...Damn, he won't really win the lottery, right?"

"China's GDP growth rate is not as fast as his, far exceeding the national average level. Let me go, he is on a rocket?"

"It's no wonder that we didn't have any contact with us after graduation. He has already made a fortune, so he doesn't care about us haha."

"Tch, do you regret not hugging his thigh?"

"Fuck you, who would have thought of this at the time?"

"Is this probably the legendary counterattack?"

"Having said that, how did he get rich? I also want to learn from him and get rich overnight."

"Haha, I'm afraid it's not written in the criminal law. He doesn't look normal at first glance. Who knows what he did in private, but no one wants to check it?"

……

The ear-piercing voice came into his ears from the surroundings. Lin Chushi looked at their bright, naked faces, who couldn't hide their jealousy, resentment, suspicion and meanness. It was almost impossible to tell who was who, as if everyone's faces were almost the same.

There was some churning in his stomach, and he felt nauseous for a while.

Someone tapped the cup with a metal spoon handle, and the clear sound attracted the eyes of everyone who was restless.

Bi Yao sat at the top, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling, but his expression was tense and haughty, with an obvious contempt and disgust, he slowly swept around the crowd and said: " Let's have a dinner with old classmates here, so don't mention the names of some unpopular people, what a disappointment, isn't it."

He asked if it was true, but no one could say no, and everyone fell silent.

Everyone present also knew that in high school, Bi Yao was always overwhelmed by Nie Han, whether it was academic performance or various selections. Bi Yao was proud and conceited, so naturally it was difficult to accept such a fact.

Lin Chushi looked at him, as if he felt strange for a while, but also seemed to understand something vaguely.

It's really strange. When he was studying, he knew that the people around him didn't like Nie Han, because Nie Han's personality was too weird and he was too outstanding. I never thought that this kind of dislike might have a deeper extension, such as disgust, such as jealousy.

I never thought about why Nie Han always turned away from him and frowned fiercely when he saw him.

He has always felt that Nie Han's nature is such that geniuses always look down on mortals. He regrets that he is not a genius and cannot stand side by side with geniuses, but he never thought that in the eyes of geniuses, mortals always look at him with jealousy and hatred , can't wait to drag him to hell.

And I stand with these people.
