Chapter 489: Episode 318: Reunion Part

The two people who were arguing froze and stared blankly at the phone in Yu Bei's hand.

Still on the video call screen, there appeared a face familiar to people all over the country.

Xie Zhuxin was wearing a loose sweatshirt, with her hair casually tied behind her head. She was leaning against the wall, curled up in a chair in a casual posture.

It was as if it wasn't her who had just casually dropped the bombshell.

It seemed to be noon over there and the sun was shining brightly outside.

She didn't look at the camera, but turned her face to the side, squinted her eyes slightly, and casually picked up a glass of water from the side and took a sip.

Every gesture and movement is lazy and relaxed.

The light reflected on her bare face, clearly showing her slightly swollen eyelids and every tiny blemish on her skin, but she still couldn't hide her beauty.

Even though Wei Qiu was used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, he couldn't help but be stunned at such an emotional moment.

Xie Zhuxin...

It seems to be beautiful again.

She is not the kind of female star who is strictly self-disciplined, meticulous from head to toe, and artificially maintains her exquisite beauty.

Rather, it is the aura that is cultivated over time after having sufficient life experience.

Even without fancy clothes or beautiful ornaments, she still looks calm, relaxed and at ease.

Wei Qiu suddenly remembered a clichéd saying in the circle, "Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin."

Even though she never thought Xie Zhuxin was prettier than herself, she was just luckier and found a suitable plastic surgeon.

At this moment, I secretly compared it in my heart, and I had to admit——

Xie Zhuxin is no longer the rustic little fat girl she was when she first entered college. She has entered the realm of beauty and has begun to cultivate her own superstar aura...

While Wei Qiu was distracted, Yu Bei came to her senses first and quickly put the phone in front of her.

"Xinxin, what do you mean by what you just said? Did the boss hurt you? What did she do..."

Wei Qiu also woke up in an instant. Although his face showed no expression, his whole body suddenly tensed up.

Xie Zhuxin on the other end paused.

Wei Qiu's heart almost jumped into his throat.

Fortunately, Xie Zhuxin did not respond to Yu Bei's words, but smiled slightly and changed the subject.

"By the way, Xiaobei, guess where I am now? One chance, no hints~"

Yu Bei was immediately led away and rolled her eyes slightly.

"Do you even need to guess? Shouldn't you have arrived in Venice by now? No! You look so exhausted, could it be... you just arrived?"

"Yes, the international flight was delayed and we landed in the middle of the night yesterday. It took us a long time to check into the hotel. I didn't have time to adjust to the jet lag. I tossed and turned last night and only slept for less than three hours..."

Xie Zhuxin wrinkled her nose and complained to her best friend with a smile.

"Fortunately, the scenery here is good. It's finally worth the effort. Look, there's a river right below the balcony. Isn't it interesting?"

As he spoke, Xie Zhuxin stood up and took a 360-degree photo with his mobile phone.

It turns out she is now on the balcony of her hotel room in Venice.

Through the balcony railings covered with green plants, you can see that there is not a road downstairs, but a winding river.

The vehicles coming and going were not vehicles, but boats with people on board in groups of three or four.

The golden afternoon sunlight sprinkled on the water. The breeze blew, causing ripples to appear, which were broken up by the oars of the passing boats. It was incredibly beautiful.

It is indeed the dreamy “water city” Venice!

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Yu Bei couldn't help but relax her originally tense posture.

Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly felt my palms were empty.

It turned out that Wei Qiu took advantage of this opportunity, shook off Yu Bei, turned around and ran.

"Wait! Stop!"

Yu Bei was startled and immediately ran after him.

The two men, one fleeing and the other chasing, quickly passed through the hotel lobby and turned into a corridor.

Fortunately, in terms of physical strength, Yu Bei is still the winner.

She was getting closer and closer, and was about to catch up with Wei Qiu, when suddenly a person walked out from the corner ahead.

The two of them had no time to react and could only bump into the oncoming person due to inertia.

The three people suddenly fell down and rolled into a ball on the ground.

Fortunately, Yu Bei learned her lesson this time and has been on high alert ever since.

Before he got up from the ground, he reached out and firmly grasped Wei Qiu's arm to prevent her from slipping away again.

Wei Qiu naturally refused to give in and kept trying to break free, and the two of them continued to fight like this.

Until a familiar voice sounded from the other side.

"Boss? Didn't you leave a long time ago? And Xiaobei, when did you arrive? How did you two run into each other?"

Wei Qiu and Yu Bei looked up in surprise at the same time.

"Xiaoyi?"

……

"This is the family lounge that the hotel has opened for us. It's very quiet and no outsiders will come in. My mother-in-law just took my daughter out for a walk and she won't be back for at least half an hour. You can talk here without worry."

Jian Yi held Yu Bei's phone which was still on the phone, pushed open the door and walked in, while speaking to Xie Zhuxin on the other end of the video call.

After saying that, she glanced behind her again.

Yu Bei and Wei Qiu were still holding the other's arm tightly, with their bodies pressed tightly together.

But both of them had sullen faces and neither of them wanted to look at the other.

It has been like this ever since I met them in the corridor just now.

Jian Yi sighed softly, yet inexplicably felt a little nostalgic.

Yu Bei and Wei Qiu, these two guys, actually disliked each other when they first became roommates in their freshman year, and they had many quarrels, big and small.

Both himself and Xie Zhuxin had seen the two of them being angry with each other, and had both acted as peacemakers between them.

But later, after Yu Bei was frightened by her ex-boyfriend coming to her house, she became much more restrained and started to listen to Xie Zhuxin again. Only then did the relationship between the two gradually ease.

Now that we have graduated for several years, everyone has gone their separate ways and we rarely get together, so we rarely have the opportunity to meet.

In the past two years, Wei Qiu somehow developed a rift with Xie Zhuxin and Yu Bei.

There was a grudge between these three people, which made it more difficult for them to meet.

If you think about it, except for the bachelorette party before her wedding, the 318 dorm, which seemed to have a very close relationship in the eyes of outsiders, had never had all the members get together!

To be honest, I have thought about whether I should ask them to come out and mediate.

Unfortunately, she has been busy getting married and having children in recent years, and has been too busy to take care of her own affairs. She is really powerless, so she has to just ignore everything and let nature take its course.

Maybe, today's situation is not a bad thing.

Although the scene was a bit ugly, it was at least an improvement - everyone was finally together again.

It seems that no one else can be the peacemaker except myself~

Jian Yi walked around the two people who were still awkward, closed the door, brought two chairs, and pushed them to sit down.

He also placed Yu Bei's cell phone on the table and adjusted the angle so that Xie Zhuxin on the other side could watch the whole scene.

After doing all this, Jian Yi clapped his hands lightly, breaking the deadlock in the audience.

"Okay, we are all old classmates. It's not easy for us to meet each other. It's a rare opportunity. Don't be so stiff. I'll give you this place. If you have anything to say, just speak up. I'll step aside for now."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Yu Bei suddenly jumped up and grabbed Jian Yi.

"What are you avoiding? You don't have to leave! What I'm talking about is related to every one of us in 318!"

She turned and looked at Wei Qiu.

"Boss, I still call you Boss now because we lived together in dormitory 318 for four years. I really have no ill will towards you, I just want to know what went wrong between you, me and Zhu Xin.

"But just now I said I wanted to call Zhu Xin, why did you react so strongly? Why did you run away? Did you really do something to let her down?"

Yu Bei turned her head again and looked at the mobile phone on the table.

"And you, Zhuxin, you actually know the reason, right? Now that I think about it, you have been quite calm about this matter. From the beginning to the end, I was the only one who was kept in the dark, and I am so upset and want to know why..."

"Xiao Bei, I..."

Xie Zhu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Bei with a wave of her hand, and she turned to look at everyone.

"Aren't we good roommates? Aren't we the 'in cahoots' team? Is there anything that can't be said directly? You have to hide it from me and I have to hide it from you? Is that fun? If that's the case, don't invite me to your class reunions in the future..."

"Stop talking!"

Seeing that Yu Bei was obviously starting to say harsh words and speaking without thinking, Jian Yi rushed forward and covered her mouth.

The two people started to fight again.

Wei Qiu, the most silent person in the audience, finally couldn't help it. He sneered and stood up.

"Okay, stop acting! You are all good people, and the only bad guy is me! I did all this, okay?!

"It was me who exposed Xie Zhuxin's college secrets, it was me who sold her photos and videos to marketing accounts, it was me who made her suspected of campus bullying by the entire internet! I am the sinner!

"So what? So what? You guys want to criticize me together? Come on!!!"
