Chapter 105 Reunion of old friends
"It was...it was me who leaked your secret."
Kang Mengqi walked up to Hua Meimei and lowered her head.
I didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes.
Hua Meimei's eyes showed disappointment; the person who hurt her the most was often the one closest to her.
"One day, I accidentally found your diary in your schoolbag, and out of curiosity, I opened it and read it..."
Kang Mengqi discovers that Hua Meimei has a crush on Fei Chenfeng, and she can't accept that her best friend likes Fei Chenfeng just like her.
What she found even more unacceptable was that Hua Meimei hadn't shared this secret with her. She had assumed their relationship was close enough for them to share such things.
"I was in a really mess at the time, and somehow I mentioned it to someone. I never expected it to become such a big deal..."
Kang Mengqi's voice grew softer and softer, filled with regret and self-blame, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Hua Meimei bit her lower lip tightly, clenching the hem of her clothes with both hands, trying hard not to lose control of her emotions.
Kang Mengqi took a step forward and reached out to grab Hua Meimei's arm, but Hua Meimei gently dodged her.
"Berry, I've been tormented by this all these years. I was wrong."
Hua Meimei ignored Kang Mengqi and instead looked at Fu Kun. She had something to ask him.
"Fu Kun, why did you suddenly want to take my diary that year? How did you know what was written in my diary?"
Fu Kun thought carefully and said, "Someone opened your diary and put it in my drawer. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known you had the habit of writing a diary."
It turns out that someone did this on purpose.
Her gaze swept over Kang Mengqi. "Did you do this?"
She couldn't think of anyone else besides Kang Mengqi.
Others didn't know that she had a habit of keeping a diary back then.
Kang Mengqi was her deskmate and had seen her diary.
Her diary only recorded the little things that made her happy. She didn't want to write down the dreary and torturous days at home; reading about them would only make her more heartbroken.
Under everyone's questioning gaze, Kang Mengqi confessed. "I did it, I'm sorry."
Kang Mengqi lowered her head even further, her short hair falling down to completely obscure her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Kang Mengqi, I was blind back then to trust you so much. I never doubted you!"
Not only did he never have any doubts, but he even treated Kang Mengqi as a friend before she apologized.
Because Kang Mengqi said she wanted to date but couldn't find anyone, she shamelessly asked Luo Jiuyu to ask her friends if they wanted to introduce her to someone.
How foolish! She couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she looked like she was about to cry.
Fei Chenfeng looked at her with heartache, wanting to hold her in his arms and comfort her, but he didn't have the right to.
"Kang Mengqi has already apologized, what about the others?" the class monitor reminded everyone.
Soon, a series of apologies came one after another.
Outside the door, Liu Bin roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter from their conversation.
Seeing that her classmates had all apologized to her, he felt relieved. Hua Meimei was a very brave girl; she managed to get justice for herself after so many years.
That makes sense, how could Luo Jiuyu's judgment be bad?
He filmed a short video of Luo Jiuyu through the small round glass window on the door.
Your wife solved the problem herself.
It means that Luo Jiuyu doesn't need to come over.
I'll be there soon.
He stared at the four words Luo Jiuyu had sent and chuckled to himself. Knowing Luo Jiuyu's personality, it would be strange if Hua Meimei didn't come to help in something like this!
"Liu Bin?"
Someone appeared beside him at some point and called out to him, their tone hesitant.
Does anyone here know him? He looked up in confusion.
The person in front of him was dressed in a white dress with a white coat over it. In this dim and narrow corridor, her whole body seemed to be shining brightly, which suddenly hurt his eyes.
You suddenly run into someone you almost can't remember, and they feel strange and distant.
"It really is you." Xia Ling'er initially thought she had mistaken him for someone else, but when she saw his face clearly, she was immediately stunned.
He has completely transformed himself and no longer has the unsophisticated air he had during his university days.
He has much better taste in clothing now, always dressed in a suit and tie, exuding a refined and elegant air. His outfit is clearly a haute couture piece.
Her slender, phoenix-shaped eyes no longer possessed the simple honesty of yesteryear, but instead held a sharp, penetrating quality that seemed to see right through people.
"Hello." Liu Bin put away his phone, put his hands in his pockets, and took a step away from the door.
It looks like she's going to go into this private room.
"Thank you," Xia Ling'er said with a smile, despite feeling embarrassed.
"Are you and Hua Meimei classmates?"
Just as she was about to push open the door to the private room, he suddenly asked.
Does he know Hua Meimei?
She turned around, smiled, and nodded. "You two know each other?"
Could he be pursuing Hua Meimei? Hua Meimei is having a party inside, but he's waiting outside.
“Friend,” he replied briefly.
"Oh." Xia Ling'er glanced at him awkwardly, then turned back to push the door open.
"Long time no see, Xia Ling'er."
She had half her body inside when she suddenly heard a deep male voice behind her.
As an actress, she could feign composure. But inside, her emotions were in turmoil.
She pretended not to hear, didn't turn around, and walked straight in.
The atmosphere in the private room was strange.
Everyone was apologizing to Berry.
Several girls were wiping away tears.
Standing in the center, Hua Meimei seemed indifferent as she watched everything, but there was an unconcealable sadness in her eyes.
"What happened?" Xia Ling'er asked.
As soon as she entered, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
"The big stars are back for a party!"
someone exclaimed.
"My God, isn't that Xia Ling'er?"
"Ling'er!"
The atmosphere lightened slightly from its somber tone.
Hua Meimei turned to look at Xia Ling'er, whom she hadn't seen for many years. The glamorous superstar on screen was back for a gathering, yet she was dressed so simply. But because of her beautiful face, this outfit gave her the air of a wealthy young lady, making her seem like a pure and innocent beauty.
In junior high school, Xia Ling'er was a student with special talents in the arts and often represented the school in singing and dancing competitions. She wasn't good at academic subjects, but she had a friendly personality and was quite popular in her class.
She's beautiful, can sing and dance, and is constantly in the spotlight, so naturally she's popular with guys.
"Why are you all apologizing to Meimei?" Xia Ling'er asked a few classmates who walked up to her.
Everyone looked embarrassed. Someone whispered a brief description to her, and she couldn't help but recall the farces that had happened in her class before.
She didn't spend much time in class at the time and wasn't involved in the matter, but she had heard other classmates mention it.
"Chenfeng, I've achieved my purpose for attending the gathering today, so I should go now." Hua Meimei smiled and said goodbye to Fei Chenfeng.
She will never attend any more class reunions.
"I'm sorry, Meimei, maybe I shouldn't have invited you to participate." Fei Chenfeng felt guilty.
"No, thank you for inviting me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to fight them for my younger self. I should go now. Goodbye," said Flower Berry.
Seeing her head towards the door, Kang Mengqi caught up and continued to apologize to her.
"I'm sorry, I was so foolish back then... Meimei, can you forgive me?"
“I cannot forgive you on behalf of fourteen-year-old Hua Meimei.” She looked coldly at Kang Mengqi. “You beg for forgiveness only to make yourself feel better. You do not deserve forgiveness.”
She pushed away Kang Mengqi's hand that was holding her, opened the door of the private room, and walked out.
