Who is calling her?
Could it be that boyfriend who has angered her?
As she was making wild guesses, Tang Xiaoyu answered the call .
“Hello, Mao Yu . What’s the matter?”
Mao Yu? Er… Why do I find that name familiar?
“Hi, Tang Xiaoyu . I heard you’re back in the country . ” A bright and clear male voice came from the receiver .
“Yes, that’s right . Your news network sure is broad . ” She harrumphed .
“He he! It can’t be helped since your boyfriend works for me,” Mao Yu chuckled and teased .
“Quickly say what you want to say . Don’t waste my time,” she irately ordered .
“Aye, you’re still as short-tempered as ever . I am your middle-school classmate, so you should at least treat me a little better,” he complained .
“I’ll hang up if you don’t quickly say what you want . ” Tang Xiaoyu did not give him any face .

“Okay, okay, okay . Actually, I called to inform you that our old classmates are thinking of organizing a reunion—” She interrupted him before he could finish .
“I’m not free,” she resolutely rejected .
“Hey! Big Mistress Tang, can you please hear me out first?” he complained, adding, “You are so heartless . It doesn’t matter if you don’t come, but at least give us Ge Ge’s contact number . We just want to see our goddess . ”
She frowned at his request .
“Miss Tang, I know that the purpose of your visit to the country is to see Ge Ge . Stop hiding her from us . We really miss our goddess so much! You—”
Before he could finish speaking, she hung up with a sullen face .
“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?” Pei Ge noticed her best friend’s sullen expression and asked worriedly .
“Nothing . I just heard something unpleasant,” she explained, looking a little unhappy .
She had not kept in contact with any of her elementary or middle school classmates all these years except for Pei Ge .
Learning of her best friend’s harrowing experience and different circumstance, she resolved never to contact any of their former classmates .
That was because she knew of how perfect and beautiful her best friend’s image was in their eyes .

Hence, she did not want her to be hurt by anything .
“Don’t take it to heart,” Pei Ge consoled with a gentle smile .
“Mhm . ” Tang Xiaoyu’s lips also curled up at the side when faced with her best friend’s warm smile .
Ge Ge already suffered a lot . I don’t want to see her get hurt any further, so I will protect her and won’t let her get hurt again…
“Anyway… ‘Mao Yu’, this name sounds familiar…” Pei Ge muttered ponderingly .
“…” Tang Xiaoyu paused . She was about to brush off the topic with an excuse, but her best friend quickly guessed the person’s identity .
“Ah! I remember now! Isn’t Mao Yu the shortest and most mischievous boy during middle school?” She grinned with twinkling eyes .
Tang Xiaoyu did not know what to say in response since she did not expect her to still remember that boy .
“How come Mao Yu has your contact number?” Pei Ge was really curious about this .
She had already missed the opportunity to lie, so Tang Xiaoyu could only tell her the truth .
“He is currently in America and is working in the same company as my boyfriend . ” She sighed .

“What?! What a coincidence!” she exclaimed with wide eyes .
“Yes, it is indeed pretty coincidental . ” Tang Xiaoyu nodded in resignation .
“Why did he call you, then? He seems to be asking you out,” she probed . If it were another person, she would not bother to ask .
This time, however, she was really interested to get an answer as it involved their middle school classmate .
Tang Xiaoyu noticed her interest and paused to think for a while . Eventually, she decided to come clean .
“Our classmates in middle school are thinking of organizing a reunion . ”
Pei Ge instantly froze .
“Class reunion?”
“Yes, class reunion . ” Tang Xiaoyu nodded calmly . She was evidently not the least bit interested in the said class reunion .
“When is it?” In contrast, Pei Ge was a little excited about it . Her departure was so sudden back then and she did not get a chance to bid everyone a proper goodbye .
“I didn’t ask . There’s no point, anyway . A class reunion is only a gathering for people to show off, so attending one is pretty pointless . ” Tang Xiaoyu knew that Pei Ge, who was an sentimental person, was interested in attending the class reunion .
Pei Ge was about to say that it would be fun to attend the reunion, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror .
The woman in the mirror had fair skin and jet-black, smooth hair, but she was a little on the plump side . Her expression immediately stiffened, and she swallowed her words .
“Ge Ge, I already rejected him, so even if you want to go, there is no way you can go now . ” Tang Xiaoyu grabbed her hands lightly when she noticed her dazed look .
Her warm touch startled Pei Ge out of her reverie .
She turned, saw her friend’s warm smile, and smiled as well .
“Thank you, Xiaoyu . ”
She had almost forgotten that she was no longer that school flower whom everyone loved .
She was now just an average person – an average person who did not have her past good looks .
Xiaoyu probably rejected the invitation for my sake . She is afraid of me getting hurt, so… she harshly rejected their invitation to the reunion .
“Xiaoyu, you don’t need to bother about me . I will accompany you to it if you want to go . ” She smilingly clasped hands with her .
“Chey! I can’t be bothered to attend such boring events like a class reunion!” Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and coldly harrumphed . “This young lady here is busy . I don’t even have enough time to spend with you, so where will I get the time to attend some class reunion? Let me tell you; you’re not allowed to go, too!”
“Roger, my queen!”
