Everyone's been reborn, so who would bother finding a wife on their own?

Chapter 320 A Small Gathering

Song Huan had some rare free time on the weekend.

The demo for the food delivery platform is already running smoothly, and Miqin is handling the merchant onboarding process.

Wu Tian and Feng Jingshi were overseeing the technology development, and the school's support was also fully in place.

He threw himself onto the bed, pulled the blanket up to his chin, and prepared to catch up on all the sleep he had missed over the past two weeks.

The phone rang.

He pulled it out from under the pillow and squinted at it.

It is Xiao Yunqing.

"Feed".

"Are you still sleeping?" Her voice was crisp and bright, with a hint of disdain.

"Um."

"It's already 9:30."

"weekend."

"You forgot? I made plans with Zhou Shan and the others today."

Song Huan was silent for a moment, her mind slowly switching from sleep mode to wakefulness mode.

We did agree on this on QQ last week: to get together with Zhou Shan, Chen Xu, and Zhao Qihang this weekend.

After graduating from high school, we went our separate ways. One of us went to Nanjing Normal University, and the other two went to Nanjing University of Science and Technology. Although we are both in Nanjiang, we are usually busy with our own things and have never had a proper get-together.

"I haven't forgotten, what time?"

"10:30, the coffee shop in Xinjiekou, I'll send you the address."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, he lay down for another two minutes.

Then he sat up, rubbed his face, and got out of bed to wash up.

……

The coffee shop is located on a side street in Xinjiekou. It's not big, with light wood tables and chairs, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are polished to a shine.

When Song Huan arrived, Zhou Shan and Xiao Yunqing were already seated by the window.

The two people each had a cup of coffee in front of them, their heads close together, looking at something on their phones.

Zhou Shan looked up, saw him, and smiled.

"Song Huan, over here."

Song Huan walked over, his gaze lingering on Zhou Shan for a moment.

A girl changes a lot as she grows up.

In high school, Zhou Shan wore black-rimmed glasses, her hair was casually tied up, and she wore her school uniform properly, so she wouldn't attract much attention in a crowd.

Now that I've taken off my glasses, my eyes look much bigger.

Her hair had been permed, with the ends slightly curled, and it draped over her shoulders.

She was wearing a light gray knitted cardigan over a white collared shirt.

She sat there quietly, and was already a pretty girl.

"Zhou Shan, you've changed a lot since you went to university." He sat down next to Xiao Yunqing.

Zhou Shan smiled, a little embarrassed, "It's alright. You've changed too. You seem more mature than you were in high school."

Song Huan leaned back in her chair.

"I was just tired."

Zhou Shan smiled.

She picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and glanced between him and Xiao Yunqing.

"Aren't you afraid Yun Qing will get jealous if you praise me like this?"

Xiao Yunqing's face flushed slightly. "Who's jealous of him?"

She quickly picked up her coffee cup and used it to cover half of her face.

Song Huan chuckled, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her legs.

"You don't understand, do you? I still have some kind of family authority."

The next second, Xiao Yunqing's hand reached out from under the table and pinched the flesh on his waist.

He pinched a small pinch between two fingers and turned it around.

Song Huan winced in pain, her smile instantly twisting into a grimace.

"I was wrong, it's the younger brother's position in the family, the younger brother's position."

Xiao Yunqing released her grip, picked up the coffee cup, took another sip, and smiled.

Zhou Shan looked at the two of them and smiled.

[For three years of high school, I watched them like this every day. Always bickering, him making her angry, her pinching his waist. Back then, I thought that when I got to college, I would meet someone like that too. But when I actually got to college, whenever I met guys, I couldn't help but compare them to Song Huan. This one wasn't as tall as Song Huan, that one wasn't as interesting as Song Huan. After all the comparisons, I realized it was better to be single.]

Song Huan was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Shan didn't react much. She picked up her coffee cup and finished the rest of her coffee.

The coconut latte that Song Huan ordered arrived at this time.

He picked up the cup and took a sip; the sweetness of the coconut milk and the bitterness of the coffee mingled together.

Okay.

The door was pushed open.

Zhao Qihang and Chen Xu walked in one after the other.

Zhao Qihang was wearing a wrinkled hoodie, with only one drawstring left on the hood; the other one was nowhere to be found.

His hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, and there were two bluish-gray patches under his eyes.

Chen Xu followed behind him, wearing a faded sports jacket with the zipper zipped all the way up. He had a layer of bluish stubble on his chin, and his hair had grown long, with his bangs almost touching his eyes.

Two people are standing in front of the table.

Zhao Qihang scratched his head, making his hair even messier. "Sorry, I played CS with Chen Xu all night yesterday. We played until six in the morning, then I slept for a while and came over."

Chen Xu didn't say anything and sat down next to Zhao Qihang.

He rubbed his fingers against his chin; the stubble was probably a little itchy.

Zhao Qihang sat down and downed most of the lemonade on the table in one gulp. "Song Huan, I heard you started a food delivery platform at Nanjing University? What's it called again?"

"Wait for you after class."

Zhao Qihang was taken aback for a moment. "Waiting for you after class? That's an interesting name."

Zhou Shan also looked up, and Chen Xu looked over as well.

Song Huan leaned back in her chair. "I'll wait for you to finish class so we can have dinner together. That's what I mean."

Zhao Qihang slapped his thigh.

"This is great! It's much better than those campus delivery services. Those names sound like courier companies."

Zhou Shan thought for a moment and nodded, "Waiting for you after class, girls should like that name. It doesn't sound like a cold, impersonal platform, it sounds like someone is waiting for her."

Xiao Yunqing sat beside him, her fingers lightly rubbing against the coffee cup.

[Waiting for you after class, that's the name he gave me... He used to wait for me a lot after class in high school, could it be related to me?]

Song Huan coughed beside her, realizing that Xiao Yunqing was really overthinking things.

Zhao Qihang leaned forward, his eyes shining.

"Song Huan, is your platform similar to the Food Alliance from back then? If it expands to all the universities in Nanjiang, can we become the school's agents?"

Song Huan looked at him.

During their three years of high school, the Food Alliance expanded from No. 1 Middle School to No. 12 Middle School and then to No. 9 Elementary School. Zhao Qihang handed out flyers until his hands were sore, and Chen Xu sold cards in front of his family's sausage shop until his voice was hoarse.

Zhou Shan manages the merchant group for the No. 12 Middle School area, and the first thing she does after school every day is to turn on her computer and reply to messages.

Back then, a few of us would squeeze into a food stall near the school gate, sharing a plate of kebabs and a few bottles of soda, chatting about how many cards we could sell next month.

Song Huan picked up her coconut latte and took a sip.

"Once you finish class, we'll definitely expand to all the universities in Nanjiang. At that time, you'll be the agents for your respective schools. Nanjing University of Science and Technology will be handled by Zhao Qihang and Chen Xu, and Nanjing Normal University will be handled by Zhou Shan. As for Southeast University, Yun Qing will be in charge."

Zhao Qihang slammed his hand on the table.

"OK!"

Zhou Shan nodded. "There are a lot of girls around Nanjing Normal University, and also a lot of dessert and milk tea shops. I'll help you find some businesses there."

Chen Xu didn't speak, but he looked at Song Huan and nodded.

Zhou Shan turned her head, looked at Xiao Yunqing, smiled, and leaned closer to whisper.

"Yunqing, Song Huan is so capable, are you going to be a rich lady in the future?"

Xiao Yunqing's face turned red instantly, from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.

"What rich lady? His business is his business, what does it have to do with me?"

[Hey, if he really succeeds, he'll be amazing. I studied e-commerce, and he runs a food delivery platform. Could we work together someday...? What am I thinking?]

She picked up her coffee cup and hid her face behind it. The tips of her ears, which were still visible, were red.

After the gathering ended, everyone went their separate ways.

Zhou Shan took the subway back to Nanjing Normal University, while Zhao Qihang and Chen Xu took a taxi back to Nanjing University of Science and Technology.

As Zhao Qihang was leaving, he was still saying, "Remember about the agency thing?" when Chen Xu grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him away.

At the entrance of the coffee shop, only Song Huan and Xiao Yunqing remained.

Song Huan put her hands in her pockets.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to school."

Xiao Yunqing stood there, her lips slightly pursed.

"Are you really that unwilling to stay with me?"

Every time we meet, he offers to take me home after only a short time. The same thing happened at Xuanwu Lake last time; he checked his phone after just a short walk. Does he find it boring to be with me? Is he too busy with his startup, and I just seem like a waste of his time to him…?

Song Huan was stunned for a moment.

He looked into her eyes, which held a hint of grievance, but even more so, a stubbornness that said, "I don't want to leave."

"How could that be? Even if we're separated by a toilet, I want to stay with you."

Xiao Yunqing's face flushed red instantly.

"You dare bring it up again!" She raised her hand to slap him.

Song Huan laughed and dodged, "I was wrong."

She finished hitting the gun and stood there, her chest heaving.

I glared at him for several seconds.

Then she turned around and started walking forward.

After taking a few steps, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"Walk."

"Where to?"

"shop."

Song Huan was pulled along by her and walked into Xinjiekou.
