Chapter 2811 High School Classmates
"Ouyang... Han?"
The old man repeated the other person's name.
It’s a rare compound surname...
High school classmate?
High school...
It seemed like it was a lifetime ago.
……
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember."
The elegant old man is as gentle as the first impression he gives.
"After all, it's been a long time."
"We also have-"
"Ah?!"
The old man's eyes lit up.
"Ouyang Han?!"
"Are you Ouyang Han?"
……
"Yes."
The elegant old man was startled at first.
Then he smiled and nodded.
"I am Ouyang Han."
"Do you remember?"
……
"It's you..."
The old man had a look of surprise on his face.
"I remembered!"
"Thank you for your special name..."
The old man said with a smile.
He has lived for more than half his life, and he has never met many people with the same surname.
The rare compound surname in front of him was the first classmate with a compound surname he had ever met in his life.
At that time, the classmates in his class were very curious about his last name.
It was very lively for a while.
Once you get used to it, you won't joke about this compound surname every time.
……
The elegant old man frowned.
Ever since he was a child, and even now, everyone who knows his name for the first time will subconsciously take a second look at him.
He's also used to other people's reactions to his name.
On the contrary, it is rare to meet a few people who don't have a special reaction to his name, and he will feel that something is missing, and he is not used to it.
……
"Hey."
The old man was surprised.
"How did you recognize me?"
They haven't seen each other for so many years.
"It's been decades..."
The last time they met they were still young people.
It's not at all like the wrinkled face he has now.
Such a big change...
How did the other party recognize him?
"You are too awesome."
Looking back at him.
If the other person hadn't said his name, if the other person's name hadn't been special enough, he might not have been able to think of such a person.
……
"I heard your conversation."
The elegant old man smiled apologetically.
"Sorry."
"I didn't mean to listen to your conversation."
I just heard it so naturally...
……
"It doesn't matter."
The old man waved his hand.
There are people coming and going in this market, and everyone who talks is overheard by the people passing by.
Nor did they say anything that needed to be avoided by others.
But...
The old man looked at his friend.
"Did we say anything that identified me?"
……
My friend frowned and recalled it carefully.
"...No."
"I didn't even call you your name..."
He always called him Lao Xiao.
It's not like this person can recognize Lao Xiao with just such a title, right?
Listening to what Lao Xiao just said, he and this long-lost friend have not seen each other for decades...
Long time no see...
"Old Xiao."
My friend suddenly became serious.
"Did you look like this decades ago?"
……
Old man:......
He rolled his eyes.
"How is that possible?"
How mature does this have to be for him to look like this decades ago?
"Are you deliberately burying people?"
"I was so handsome when I was young."
"Look at my grandson."
My children are beautiful no matter how they look.
Anyway, in the eyes of the old man, his grandson is the best.
Anywhere is fine.
……
"That kid Xiaoxiao has a much better temperament than this bad old man like you."
My friend will not admit the old man's boasting.
"Looks like a young master."
……
"Hehe." Although his friend belittled him, the old man liked to hear the words that praised his grandson.
"That is."
"Don't care whose grandson that is?"
……
My friend also rolled his eyes.
Why does this get back to praising yourself?
……
"Ahem."
The old man cleared his throat.
He found that they seemed to be off topic.
no way.
When it comes to his grandson, the old man can't help but show off.
He looked at the elegant old man.
"You recognized me when you heard what we said?"
His face was full of curiosity.
……
The elegant old man smiled.
"I heard what you said about the teahouse."
"I know your family runs a teahouse."
Like his compound surname, the fact that his family owned a teahouse was also a novelty for the classmates at the time.
After all, the parents of most of my classmates are company employees.
Even if someone starts a business or opens a store...
It's also different.
Teahouse is really a very traditional business.
Just like it exists in textbooks.
……
At that time, a classmate who had a good relationship with the old man even went to Xiao's teahouse as a guest.
After coming back, the topic of Xiao's Teahouse was very lively in the class for a while.
……
The elegant old man was also one of the guests at Xiao's teahouse.
……
"That's it?"
The old man was surprised.
"When you heard about teahouse, you thought of me?"
Isn't this... too casual?
"Aren't you afraid of admitting your mistake?"
……
The elegant old man had a smile on his face.
"I open a teahouse at home."
"The surname is Xiao again."
"About my age."
"I think it's very likely that he was my former high school classmate."
"And..."
The elegant old man shook his head slightly.
"It doesn't matter even if you admit your mistake."
It's just a mistake.
It's not a big deal.
But if his guess is right...
He can reunite with the friends in his memory.
……
"We finally meet again."
The elegant old man was very emotional.
"Decades..."
"Time flies so fast..."
They haven't seen each other for decades.
……
"Yeah."
The old man was also very emotional.
After graduating from high school that year, they went to different universities.
They were still in touch at first.
Gradually, their contact was severed.
High school classmates are really just high school classmates.
Until now, he has no contact with his college classmates.
Therefore, it is really not easy to maintain a relationship for a long time.
Fortunately, everyone always meets new people on the road.
Meet new friends.
There will even be surprises like now when we meet again after a long separation.
……
"Where do you live now?"
The old man asked.
"My family hasn't changed."
“It’s still at the teahouse.”
"You said you never came to my teahouse again."
……
The elegant old man smiled sheepishly.
The relationship with the old man naturally faded away back then.
No more contact.
How could he still remember the old man’s teahouse?
Even if he remembered, he was too embarrassed to go to the old man's teahouse because the relationship between the two had faded.
Then I’ll see the old man...
Thinking about that scene is a bit embarrassing.
……
But it's different now.
Maybe as people get older, they will think through a lot and let go of a lot.
I will also recall the past.
Missing the past.
As soon as he guessed the other party's identity, he spoke directly without hesitation.
If this had been done to him when he was young, it would have been impossible.
He will definitely think a lot...
