So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 386 - Same Table With You

386 Same Table With You
Translator:VinceStar | Editor: PrisMiko
As time went by, many of the characters in memory had now become fragmented and unrecognizable. As Yang Ming looked his hypocritical former classmates, he had an unprecedented sense of strangeness. Even stranger than strangers.
The once pure people were no longer pure, and the once chaste people were no longer chaste. In Yang Ming’s impression, there was a very quiet and very timid girl, who now became more coquettish. She was wandering between men like an oiran [1], throwing a wink and fascinating them.
A boy who was very upright in his impressions was now flattering the few young masters with powerful and rich family backgrounds who he despised the most in the past. The reason was just to have a good job after graduation.
Those who had been despised together with Yang Ming had risen up in an instant. They stood proudly among the crowd, enjoying flattery from them, and teasing the coquettish women.
However, Yang Ming wasn’t the same as them. They had prominent families. When they were in junior high school, everyone was studying. At the moment, many people were aware of the importance of identity, and studying had become dispensable. No matter how good you were, it was always better to have a way out!
The person ranked last in university could still be a manager in the big company! However, for those who didn’t have connections, even if they studied well, finding a job after graduation was another matter!
However, there was no one who was close to Yang Ming. In their view, Yang Ming was just a bad student with no background. Talking to him was a waste of time.
However, this was exactly what Yang Ming wanted. He felt that talking to these people was really disgusting.
The biggest shock to Yang Ming was Sun Haoming, the boy who used to be very forthright now became dispirited and dropped out of school. Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn’t help but feel a little sad. He sighed as if he had gone through all of life’s vicissitudes. Yes, aren’t I the same? Three years are enough to change anyone! Yang Ming didn’t expect that three years later, he would be like this now.
Rich, powerful, and with unique deadly skills.
Yang Ming didn’t dare to think about it before. He thought that he would be finishing high school muddleheaded like Xu Peng, and then they would open a billiards room or an illegal internet cafe with Li Dagang.
As for a beauty like Zhou Jiajia, she had also come under everyone’s focus. However, those coquettish girls couldn’t be compared to her. Even Sui Guangqi was drawn to her. This made Yang Ming feel a little curious about Zhou Jiajia’s identity.
Before Yang Ming was framed by Wang Zhitao, he didn’t pay much attention to the families and backgrounds of others. Since that incident, Yang Ming became vigilant.
Originally, Zhou Jiajia wanted to be close to Yang Ming, but there were too many flies around her. Although she was unhappy, after all, they were still her previous classmates so Zhou Jiajia couldn’t chase them away!
During the dinner, Yang Ming just followed everyone during the toasting. After that, no one even bothered about him. He was too lazy to give others toasts anyway. However, although Sun Haoming was debased, he was still the focus of everyone there. But, when compared to Sui Guangqi, it looked dull. It was because most girls understood that, in contrast, Sui Guangqi’s family was even more fascinating. What’s more, Sun Haoming was no longer the Sun Haoming from before. Soon, everyone ignored him.
Sun Haoming didn’t feel anything. He was originally looking for Yang Ming. It didn’t matter to him how others treated him
About halfway through the banquet, someone switched on the KTV VOD system in the restaurant and prepared to start the karaoke.
“Whoever wants to sing, come over!” The man who switched on the KTV called.
Of course, although everyone had been prior classmates, they hadn’t seen each other in a few years. While they were eating, they didn’t have the guts to sing on the stage. This was the moment when the class committees coordinated the situation.
Seeing that no one took the lead to sing, Sui Guangqi stood up and said, “I will sing first. The next will be the class committees! Zhou Jiajia, the second one will be you!”
Sui Guangqi said without a doubt, and then he walked over to the big screen. It was undeniable that Sui Guangqi’s ability to communicate was strong; a few words had excited the atmosphere, especially the smart move to point out Zhou Jiajia.
It was because Sui Guangqi noticed that Zhou Jiajia’s fans weren’t fewer than his. So if he and Zhou Jiajia took the lead, the boys and girls would follow along and sing.
Zhou Jiajia had no choice but to stand up and sing songs, while other people, as Sui Guangqi expected, ordered their songs.
“I will sing a song from Zhang Zhenfu, Young Friends Get Together [2], for you guys.” Sui Guangqi said generously and began to sing.
It was an old song, but it wasn’t out of date. For the occasion of a student reunion, it was very suitable! In particular, Sui Guangqi changed the “new generation of the eighties” in the lyrics into “the new generation of the nineties,” so that everyone had an excited feeling!
Even Yang Ming was infected by his melodious singing voice! This Sui Guangqi was indeed not simple.
Zhou Jiajia sang a song that was now very popular, “Love in Childhood,” which was sung by the superstar, Shu Ya. The lyrics of this song were very sad because the person who wrote the lyrics was Shu Ya herself. Hence, there was a focus from the media. Moreover, this song was really good to listen to. Many people even guessed whether the lyrics in the song were real, otherwise, it was impossible to reveal such a true sentiment.
“Yeah, it’s Shu Ya’s song!” Most people were Shu Ya fans. Even if they weren’t familiar with this song, they had turned their heads and watched Zhou Jiajia sing.
And those boys were even more so, they had covetous intentions on Zhou Jiajia.
This song was Zhou Jiajia’s favorite song. Every time she listened to this song, Zhou Jiajia would be very emotional. She envied the innocent love of the male and female protagonists in the song. She couldn’t help but subconsciously think that she was the female lead and Yang Ming was the male lead…
Therefore, when this song was sung from Zhou Jiajia’s mouth, it had a special charm, unlike the original singer. In the original song, Shu Ya was sad, but with a bit of sweetness, as if she were missing the past. However, Zhou Jiajia’s song was full of mourning and hope. It was a yearning for what happened in the song…
Zhou Jiajia sang very well. It was not less than the original singer, Shu Ya. Even Yang Ming had a different thought of her. Yang Ming was quite familiar with this song. Since he downloaded it, Yang Ming listened to it very often.
After Zhou Jiajia finished singing, there was a warm round of applause from the audience immediately. Everyone applauded and asked for an encore.
“Right, isn’t there a classmate named Su Ya? It’s about the same name as the celebrity Shu Ya… Ha, maybe it’s the same person!” No one was sure who interrupted.
All of them immediately became quiet.
The people there weren’t close to Yang Ming, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t know what happened to him! Yang Ming’s and Su Ya’s affair was already common knowledge in the whole class. Later, Yang Ming’s degeneration was also a matter of common understanding.
Although Yang Ming had been low-key a lot, the image of his dominance of that time was still deeply rooted in their hearts. At that time, if anyone dared to mention Su Ya in front of Yang Ming, then a beating would be awaiting him!
So, over time, Su Ya had become a taboo topic. Although things had moved on for many years, when people suddenly brought up this topic, people still trembled with fear.
Sure enough, Yang Ming’s distracted eyes immediately became sharp. He glanced at the person who had just spoken.
When Sui Guangqi saw the lively atmosphere cool down, he couldn’t help but complain to the classmate who just spoke. But he was more disgusted with Yang Ming in his mind! He didn’t expect a little punk from those years to still have such a strong aura!
“Hehe.” Sui Guangqi quickly soothed things out, and then he said to Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, you have been silent since the beginning. Come and sing a song!”
When Yang Ming looked at these people who had spent junior high school with him for four years, he couldn’t help but think of Su Ya, especially after listening to Zhou Jiajia’s songs. It was unresolved for a long time.
Yang Ming didn’t care about the surprised eyes of the audience. He stood up and said to Zhou Jiajia, “Help me to order ‘Same Table With You’ [3].”
“Oh… ok…” Zhou Jiajia bit her lip. Certainly, he still couldn’t forget her. However, Zhou Jiajia still ordered the song that Yang Ming wanted.
Yang Ming’s hoarse voice flowed with the melody and resounded in the restaurant:
“Would you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday? Will you still think of me tomorrow, the tearful you in the past…
“Who had married such a sentimental person like you, who read your diary, who put your long hair up, who gave you the wedding dress…”
