Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Hearing this, Su Fengnan stopped asking questions, as it was, after all, someone else's private matter.

Su Fengnan didn't know what Ning's father looked like when he was young, but she knew that Ning's father and mother had stayed together until old age, only Ning's mother had passed away when she was in her fifties. Later, through an introduction, Ning's father found a woman who was more than ten years younger than him.

It seems I need to remind Ning Xiaojun from time to time to encourage her to persuade her mother to take care of her health.

Su Fengnan could tell that Ning Xiaojun didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she took the initiative to change the subject.

"Oh, let's not talk about that. We're out having fun today, so let's just enjoy ourselves and not think about anything else. Tell me, what gift did you prepare?"

"Lego car models, what about yours?" Ning Xiaojun asked.

"No wonder your backpack is so bulging, it seems you know his preferences very well," Su Fengnan teased.

"No way, he's just a little kid. We've been friends for years, well... if you have to categorize us, we're best buddies and playmates," Ning Xiaojun said.

"Ah... my best friend and playmate?" Su Fengnan was a little surprised.

She thought to herself: "Isn't a best friend the same as what people later call a male best friend?"

"Yeah, what else could it be?"

Su Fengnan stiffened slightly, then chuckled dryly, "Uh...hehe, whatever makes you happy."

She has always scoffed at the idea of ​​a "male best friend," holding a skeptical attitude both in this life and the last. She is not stubborn; she understands that there may truly be pure friendships that arise from affection but remain within the bounds of propriety, and she respects other people's choices.

However, whether Wang Bo's feelings for Ning Xiaojun were as open and pure as he claimed, she had no idea.

.........

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. When Su Fengnan and Ning Xiaojun arrived at the Rainbow Bridge, some of the earlier-arriving classmates were already enjoying themselves on the lawn opposite the bridge.

Ning Xiaojun nudged Su Fengnan's arm and pointed into the distance: "Su Su, look, they're taking pictures."

Su Fengnan looked in the direction she was pointing and counted, "Hmm, it seems like there are eight people." Su Fengnan looked at Ning Xiaojun, "How many people did he invite?"

"I don't know, but he has a lot of friends."

At that moment, the students on the lawn also saw Su Fengnan and Ning Xiaojun, and waved to them, urging them to hurry over...

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the lawn. They were classmates and everyone knew each other. They greeted each other and soon everyone was chatting and taking pictures. There were also four tandem bicycles parked on the side of the road.

Su Fengnan looked closely and realized that Huang Mingxia, Chen Bainian, Lu Yao, Gou Tinggui, Lu Tao, and Li Xiuying were three couples.

It's just that the truth hasn't been revealed yet. After Su Fengnan left in her previous life, she never contacted her high school classmates again. According to Ning Xiaojun's account of the three couples, only two of them got married. Lu Yao and Gou Tinggui were the ones who parted ways.

Well, let's just wait and see.

Su Fengnan hadn't had much contact with the remaining two male classmates, and she really couldn't remember their names.

"Where's today's main character? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Ning Xiaojun asked the classmate who arrived early.

Gou Tinggui answered proactively, "He arrived early, and he's over there with two friends preparing food."

Ning Xiaojun looked in the direction Gou Tinggui indicated and saw a three-story building.

"Oh, is he cooking today? Is what he made edible?" Ning Xiaojun teased with a smile.

"Su Su, come on, let's go take a look." Ning Xiaojun pulled Su Fengnan and walked towards the two-story building by the river.

Su Fengnan was pulled away by Ning Xiaojun, and hurriedly turned back to her classmates and said, "We'll go help first, you guys play for a while and then come back."

The sun was blazing and there was no wind on the way there. By the time the two of them reached the courtyard of the small building, their foreheads were covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"Wait a minute, let's rest for two minutes." Su Fengnan stood under a big tree by the yard, fanning herself, and softly asked Ning Xiaojun, "What time is it now?"

Ning Xiaojun raised her hand and looked at her watch: "11:20."

"Hey, SuSu, where's your phone? I haven't seen you use it for days."

Ning Xiaojun, slow to realize something was wrong, happened to ask at this very moment, and Su Fengnan truly admired her quick thinking.

"Oh, I gave it back to Yan Yun. We've broken up," Su Fengnan replied calmly.

"When did this happen? Oh my god, I...you're not telling me? Don't you even consider me a friend?" Ning Xiaojun pressed. "It's not because you're in a long-distance relationship, is it? But I really think you two aren't a good match. Breaking up is probably for the best!"

Su Fengnan didn't intend to hide it, so she said frankly, "It was just a trial originally, but long-distance relationships are too far. Besides, I still have to study, so it will still have some impact."

After a pause, Su Fengnan added, "Haven't you noticed that my grades on the quizzes over the past month have all dropped?"

Ning Xiaojun thought about it and realized that there had indeed been a decline.

"So... are you alright? Are you sad or upset?" Ning Xiaojun asked cautiously.

"Hehehe... No, actually I feel much more relaxed." Su Fengnan said with a smile, "I'm just not suited for dating, it's too mentally taxing. I've already decided during my studies that I don't plan to date."

"No, Su Su, if you keep saying that, I'll think you're heartbroken!"

You're overthinking it.

"Otherwise, why didn't you want to date during your studies? What if you meet someone you like in college? Are you just going to let it slip away without a relationship?"

"University...we'll see. Anyway, I'm not thinking about dating in high school anymore; it's a waste of time."

"Hmph...hmph...hmph, Su Su, something's not right with you. You're just saying one thing and meaning another." Ning Xiaojun narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It's said that being in a relationship is tiring because you don't like the person enough. If you like someone, being in a relationship with them will only feel sweet, how could it be tiring?"

"You're not dating someone, are you? Confess! Hmm." Su Fengnan mimicked Ning Xiaojun's squinting gaze as she stared at her.

"I...no, I didn't." Ning Xiaojun's eyes darted around, and her words were mumbled.

"No? How could you know so much about it if you didn't? Unless..."

Su Fengnan left the rest of her words unsaid, leaving her to rack her brains... He looked her up and down, successfully changing the subject. Su Fengnan was secretly pleased and ran into the yard with a plop.

The two ran into the yard one after the other, and just happened to run into Wang Bo carrying an enamel basin out of the house.

"Hey, two beauties are here!" Wang Bo greeted them warmly with a big smile.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Su Fengnan asked politely as she stepped forward with a smile.

"No need, no need, it'll be ready soon!" Wang Bo waved his hand readily. "We're having barbecue for lunch today, all-you-can-eat meat and vegetables! Everyone can eat as much as you want, and you can even take the leftovers home."

"Wang Bo, you're so extravagant today!" Ning Xiaojun teased with a smile.

"Whether we're rich or not doesn't matter. What's important is that everyone eats well, drinks well, and has fun today," Wang Bo said cheerfully.

"You're great, that's a good friend!" Ning Xiaojun said with a smile, patting his shoulder.
