Chapter 69 - Class Reunion
Lu Xuan was unaware of the Luo family’s decision, as, at this moment, he was on the phone.
“Hey, Xuan, are you back in Xia City?” An excited voice came from the phone.
“Mm!” Lu Xuan nodded. He searched his memory and quickly realized who he was speaking to on the phone.
It was his close buddy from high school who had sat close to him in class—Li Guanghui.
Though, ever since Lu Xuan had returned to Fu City for school, the two of them had not met up.
To Li Guanghui, Lu Xuan was a friend he had not seen for many years, but to Lu Xuan, he had spent an entire lifetime without ever meeting this friend again.
He vaguely recalled that in his past life, Li Guanghui died on the first day that the world changed. It had been in a violent attack from a mutated beast. So when Lu Xuan heard Li Guanghui’s voice, he felt especially emotional.
“You’re really back! That’s great!” Li Guanghui said excitedly from the other end of the call. “As they say, it’s better to be right on time than to be early. Last time, whenever our classmates looked for you, you were busy with your studies. You won’t say you’re busy now, will you?!”
“That must mean she’s concerned about me, and I have to put on more clothes before I go out!” Li Guanghui responded at once.
Patting Li Guanghui’s shoulder, Lu Xuan sighed. “If you’re going bald, let it happen. You’re not going to get a girlfriend anyway, so what difference does it make whether you’re bald.”
Li Guanghui frustratedly slapped away Lu Xuan’s hand, saying in reply, “Don’t keep taking shots at me. What makes you think I can’t find a girlfriend?!”
Then, pointing at the girl in the group, Li Guanghui said, “Still, she’s here today, you know?”
“Who’s she?” Lu Xuan didn’t react.
Li Guanghui studied Lu Xuan seriously, then said, “Stop pretending, brother. I know what you’re like. You’re just not going to admit your loss here, are you!”
Lu Xuan did not know whether to laugh or to cry at this. He had a flash of inspiration, and he found the answer he sought in the dusty recesses of his memory.
He seemed to recall being with a girl for a period of time during high school before they later separated.
However, to Lu Xuan, that was something that happened ages ago. It was an adolescent love in his youth, and there was no way he could remember the details.
“That’s so long in the past. It’s already been four years. You think I haven’t let it go?” Lu Xuan looked at Li Guanghui, amused. “If I’m looking for a lady, I could get any lady I want!”
With his status in his past life, there had been no woman in the universe he could not get. Even with his current status in this life, there were still women who would offer themselves up to him.
“Xuan, I’ve noticed that you haven’t improved much over the years, but your ability to bullsh*t has gotten more and more refreshing and refined!”
Li Guanghui looked at Lu Xuan’s earnest expression, and at that time, he thought that Lu Xuan meant he could rely on his looks. Feeling depressed again, he lamented, “Is it so great to be good looking?
“Fine, being good looking is a great thing, after all!”
Li Guanghui immediately followed up his question with his own answer.
