The time of the city

Chapter 215 Class Reunion

Tuesday came in a blink of an eye, the day of the class reunion, scheduled for five o'clock in the afternoon.

At four o'clock, the light in the room had already softened. Mo Yu stood in front of the wardrobe, preparing to choose clothes.

Ni Jiamu walked up to her at some point, holding a dress with the tag still on it, and said, "Wear this one, it suits you."

"I've already picked out the clothes." Mo Yu didn't take the dress, but took out a shirt and jeans from the closet.

Ni Jiamu stared at the shirt and jeans for a long time and said softly, "It looks good. I'll wait for you downstairs." After that, he turned and walked out of the room, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away.

Hearing the sound of Ni Jiamu coming downstairs, Mo Yu immediately stood up and locked the door. Then she quickly took off her home clothes and changed into a shirt and jeans.

Then, she took out her ID from the gift box and carefully placed it in her messenger bag. She also tied her hair into a bun.

"This makes it easier to move around." She whispered to herself, put on her cross-body bag, turned around twice in front of the full-length mirror, looked at her outfit carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, she nodded with satisfaction.

After going downstairs, Ni Jiamu's eyes inadvertently swept across Mo Yu's messenger bag and lingered for a moment. Mo Yu's heart suddenly tightened, her breathing became rapid, and she subconsciously tightened the messenger bag's strap. Fortunately, Ni Jiamu didn't suspect too much and just said lightly, "Let's go."

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat quiet along the way. Mo Yu sat in the passenger seat, feeling both nervous and excited.

She clutched her cross-body bag tightly, "I probably won't see him again after I leave this time." She thought silently in her heart, her eyes unconsciously glancing at Ni Jiamu who was driving.

Ni Jiamu looked ahead intently, and the profile of his face appeared particularly soft in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Noticing Mo Yu's gaze, Ni Jiamu said softly with a distinct smile on his face, "We're here."

"Oh oh." Mo Yu came back to her senses and quickly reached out to unbuckle her seat belt, preparing to get out of the car.

At this moment, Ni Jiamu suddenly reached out and grabbed Mo Yu's wrist as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

Mo Yu froze in an instant, her heart pounding. She stammered, "What...what happened?"

"Take this phone and text me when you're done." Ni Jiamu said, handing Mo Yu a phone, the same model as the one in his hand. The phone's shell flickered coldly under the light.

"No need. I'll let them post it in the group chat when I'm done. Come pick me up when you see it."

How could she dare to take Ni Jiamu's phone? What if it had a location sensor? Her escape plan would be discovered in an instant.

Ni Jiamu stared at her, his eyes becoming bright. After a moment, he put his phone away and said softly, "Go ahead, have fun. I'll pick you up when you're done."

"Thank you, brother." Mo Yu got out of the car, and her nervousness dissipated a little. She walked towards the meeting place without looking back, her steps slightly hurried.

Ni Jiamu leaned against the car window, quietly looking at Mo Yu's back, the affection in his eyes so strong that it could not be dissolved.

He thought to himself how ridiculous his previous suspicions were. How could Mo Yu run away if she didn't even want her phone?

"Ni Jiamu, you deserve to die. How could you not trust Xiaoyu?" He whispered to himself, and only when Moyu's figure completely disappeared from his sight did he step on the accelerator and slowly leave.

Mo Yu took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the private room she had reserved. The lively atmosphere inside instantly filled her, with laughter and chatter mingling.

She quickly glanced around the room and found that most people had arrived. They were gathered in groups of two or three chatting, their faces filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.

Mo Yu tried her best to act natural and found an empty seat to sit down. As soon as she sat down, her eyes unconsciously drifted to the private room next door where Gu Baiban was staying.

Through the half-open door, she could see that the place next door was also full of people. It looked like just like hers, and almost everyone who should have arrived had arrived.

However, from the moment she entered until now, she still hadn't seen Gu Bai. Mo Yu's heart suddenly hung in the air, and a feeling of unease spread in her heart. "Is Gu Bai playing a trick on me?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she became more nervous and her fingers tapped unconsciously on her knees.

Just when she was filled with anxiety, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and Chen Xiangqin walked in with Gu Bai.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late." After saying that, he sat down opposite Mo Yu.

"Xiangqin, I'm going to sit in the private room next door. These are all people from your class. It's not good for me to sit here."

"Okay, then go ahead." Chen Xiangqin waved at Gu Bai, but her eyes were fixed on Mo Yu.

Gu Bai turned and walked out, gave Mo Yu a look, and then when he passed by Mo Yu, his arm gently brushed against the chair she was sitting on.

After Gu Bai left, Mo Yu was still trying to figure out what he meant when she suddenly noticed a piece of paper on her body.

She quietly hid the note in her palm and secretly opened it when no one was looking. It said: "I'll go to the toilet after the food is served."

After reading it, she quickly tore the note into pieces and threw the scraps into the trash can as if nothing had happened.

I will enrich this passage through descriptions of the environment, the characters' expressions, and their psychology to make the plot more vivid:

After a few minutes, people arrived one after another and sat down in the private room. While waiting for the food to be served, they talked to each other eagerly and laughed constantly.

Mo Yu sat aside. She wasn't very familiar with them when they were in school, and she didn't intend to initiate a conversation. She just fiddled with the doll on her bag silently.

"Mo Yu, long time no see. I sent you a friend request." The girl sitting on Mo Yu's left suddenly turned sideways and said to her.

"And me." Almost at the same time, several other girls also spoke, with an inexplicable warmth in their tone.

Mo Yu knew that their enthusiasm was solely due to Ni Jiamu. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a polite smile, and said softly, "I don't have a cell phone, so I can't add him."

"Oh, I'm going to be Mrs. Ni soon, how could I look down on you?

"Chen Xiangqin's sharp voice suddenly came from the opposite side, breaking the brief harmony. She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, staring at Mo Yu closely.

Mo Yu watched as the dishes were served on the table. The time for her departure was getting closer, so she decided not to argue with Chen Xiangqin.

She didn't say anything, but just lowered her eyes quietly, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her cheek.

The private room instantly fell silent. Seeing that Mo Yu ignored her, Chen Xiangqin felt like she had punched cotton. She became even more angry and embarrassed, and spoke again, her tone full of sarcasm.

"What are you bragging about, Mo Yu? If you can even sleep with your own brother, you will never be able to enter the Ni family!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the private room.

"Your dishes are here, please enjoy." The waiter placed the last dish and walked out.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom." Mo Yu got up and opened the door.

"Are you planning to hide in the bathroom and cry?" Chen Xiangqin's relentless voice caught up with her again.

Mo Yu paused for a moment, her face instantly darkened. She took a deep breath, pressed the door handle and walked out.

Just as I arrived at the toilet, Gu Bai came a little while later.

"I didn't expect you to be willing to go with me." Gu Bai's eyes curved slightly, revealing a slightly flattering smile, but there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

"Don't waste time, go."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Bai's face, then he nodded and said, "Let's go out through the back door."

After exiting the back door, a black car drove over. Gu Bai opened the back door and Mo Yu got in quickly without any hesitation.

Everything was going so smoothly, but Mo Yu felt like a huge rock was weighing down her heart, unable to find peace. The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, but her eyes kept wandering.

"I've found my ID. Should we go to the airport now? Will Chen Xiangqin come looking for you if she finds out you're gone?"

"I bought a ticket for 5 a.m., so let's rest in a hotel near the airport first. Chen Xiangqin... I've already broken up with her."

From a woman's perspective, Mo Yu really wanted to tell Gu Bai that what he did was wrong, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

But what does this have to do with her? It's not like she and Gu Bai are eloping. Once they leave the country, they will go their separate ways. Besides, Mo Yu hates Chen Xiangqin from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, this may be Chen Xiangqin's retribution.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu's mood gradually became much more relaxed. She closed her eyes slightly, leaned back in the chair, and tried to relax her tense nerves.
