Chapter 18 A Reunion
The person showering was actually Nyx.
Both of them looked at each other.
One was sitting on the toilet while the other was showering in the bathroom.
“That… I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just in a hurry…”
Reidon looked at Nyx with his voice trembling.
Nyx instantly wrapped herself in a white towel. It was apparent from her face that she was really angry.
However, she did not lose her temper immediately.
She bit her lower lip tightly and remained silent.
Reidon looked at her and did not say anything.
Because he did not know what to say.
They seemed to be in a stalemate, not moving at all.
“You go out first!”
“You go out first!”
Both of them spoke at the same time and said the same thing.
“Nyx, can you go out first? I haven’t worn my pants.”
Reidon was very embarrassed.
Nyx glanced at him and did not make eye contact.
She quickly ran out and slammed the door.
Reidon was also relieved.
Then, he finished it as fast as possible and left the toilet.
He really did not know that Nyx was at home. When he came back, there was no one in the room.
Just after a moment, Nyx had come back, without a sound.
Thinking of this, Reidon didn’t know how to explain the situation to Nyx.
They had already had a misunderstanding before, and now they had a new one.
He felt he couldn’t explain it clearly.
What should he do?
In order to avoid more embarrassment, Reidon didn’t go to Nyx.
Because the reunion was about to start, he changed into his newly bought clothes and left the apartment.
Ada had already sent him the location, the Shifa Hotel.
This hotel was very familiar to Reidon. It was the place where he got drunk last time.
He also thought of someone, Cross.
He didn’t know what became of Cross who bought his insurance.
If he was free, he needed to ask him out for a drink. Maintaining good customer relations was also very important in the insurance industry.
The last time, when he got too drunk, it was Cross who brought him back. Cross did him a favor, and he wanted to return it.
Reidon called a taxi and headed to the Shifa Hotel.
He did not have a car. Walking would take too long. And if he walked there on foot, he might be ridiculed by his classmates.
Just as he reached the entrance of the hotel, he heard someone calling his name.
“Reidon Goodman?”
Reidon turned his head in confusion and saw a man with dyed brown hair.
The man looked about 180 cm tall with a general appearance.
He was an extremely important person in Reidon’s youth.
“Mouse?”
Reidon called out uncertainly.
That was his nickname.
Mouse replied very naturally, “Yes, it’s me!”
They hadn’t met for seven or eight years and both of them had changed too much so that when they met again, they could no longer recognize each other.
After they confirmed their identities, they immediately hugged each other and they were very excited.
“Reidon! For so many years, I’ve been unable to contact you! Did you forget about me?”
After hugging, Mouse looked at Reidon and asked him in a grumbling tone.
Reidon smiled and felt apologetic.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t mature enough and deleted everyone’s contacts.”
Although he said that, he kept the truth to himself.
At that time, he had just dropped out of high school.
Until now, he also worked hard at the bottom of the heap.
However, looking at these people who finished high school and entered into universities, after they graduated, their starting points were much higher than Reidon’s.
And all these years, Reidon had been working in society. In his chequered career, he had never earned much money.
Looking at his old classmates, most of them were doing quite well, living decent lives.
Most importantly, he had dropped out of school for love.
At least he would’ve had a perfect love, but now…
His girlfriend left him. How could he have the face to contact his old classmates?
He would only be ridiculed.
Allie saw them talking outside, so she came over and said,
“Don’t chat outside. Mouse, let Reidon in. There are many classmates inside. There’s plenty of time to catch up.”
“Got it.”
Mouse politely waved at Allie and let Reidon go in first. He still had to entertain the others outside.
As the organizer of the reunion, Mouse was also the monitor in their class.
Although he was called Mouse, he was very popular among his classmates.
So he had to continue waiting for other classmates outside the hotel.
Reidon nodded and followed Allie into the hotel.
At the moment when Allie opened the door, Reidon was stunned.
“Surprise!”
Four or five confetti wands were opened at the same time, and colorful ribbons scattered in the air.
The ground was already covered with ribbons. It seemed that every time he came in, he would be treated like that.
People cheered and clapped.
The classmates’ actions made Reidon feel very awkward.
“Reidon, you were the star of our school back then!”
“Yeah! In a few years after you left, your story was still popular in our school.”
“Looking at how courageous you were, I also mustered up the courage to confess to the girl I liked. Now she’s my wife!”
Hearing these words, Reidon felt extremely embarrassed.
He didn’t expect that they would still worship him like this.
However, after all these years, Reidon had gradually become more composed.
Reidon scanned the crowd. In the corner, there was a person that Reidon couldn’t forget. At the moment he saw her, he was completely stunned.
Doreen.
After so many years, she was still so beautiful.
Both of them looked at each other with complicated expressions.
There were so many words they wanted to tell each other, but they said nothing.
The others also noticed the complicated emotions and began to change the topic.
Not everyone was here yet, so no dishes were served.
The hotel’s private room was very large and it also had karaoke, so some people picked up microphones and began to sing together.
Some people also got together to talk about their experiences over the years and their time in the universities.
At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
