"Hello, do you have a reservation?"
As Yun Zijin walked into Sijie Restaurant, a waitress came up to greet her.
"Private room 0212."
That was the room number the reunion organizer had posted in the temporary group chat. Yun Zijin had glanced at it once and memorized it.
"Of course. This way, please!"
The waitress gave a sweet smile and gestured for Yun Zijin to follow.
As Yun Zijin started walking, the waitress moved just ahead and to her left to lead the way.
’Ah! So beautiful, and her voice is so sweet. Is she some kind of angel?’
’She’s driving a Ferrari at her age... Looks like she’s very good at making money...’
After Yun Zijin left the main hall, the people seated there began to murmur among themselves, but unfortunately, Yun Zijin couldn’t hear them.
"Here we are, private room 0212. Would you like me to knock for you?"
This was a level of service she wouldn’t have offered to just anyone, but seeing Yun Zijin made the waitress want to go the extra mile.
"No, thank you. I can get it myself."
Yun Zijin raised her hand and knocked three times.
Soon, someone opened the door from the inside. When they saw Yun Zijin, their expression clearly faltered.
"Um... this is a class reunion. Are you sure you’re in the right room?"
It was no surprise he thought so. After all, Yun Zijin’s attire was far beyond what one would expect from any of the invited guests at this reunion.
"I’m in the right place. I’m here for the reunion."
Yun Zijin explained.
"Oh! Then come in! Please, come in! Which classmate are you? I don’t think I’ve seen you before..."
He said, holding the door open for Yun Zijin to enter.
"My name is Yun Zijin."
Yun Zijin stated her name.
Upon hearing the name "Yun Zijin," many people in the room froze for a moment. But that quickly shifted to curiosity and interest, mixed with a few hints of jealousy and malice.
"Yun Zijin? The Yun Zijin who got into Dijing University?"
In the minds of these high school alumni, the most profound impression of Yun Zijin was "the one who got into Dijing University."
"That’s me."
Yun Zijin admitted it freely. It was, after all, the truth.
"It really is Yun Zijin! Someone in the group chat said she was coming, but I didn’t believe it!"
"That whole aura of hers... I guess that’s what you’d expect from someone who went to one of the country’s top universities, huh?"
"And did you guys not see the handbag she’s carrying?"
...
The moment Yun Zijin entered the room, many people began to whisper amongst themselves. Whether their intentions were good or ill, it was all happening right under her nose.
"The great Yun University Genius has graced us with her presence! Our humble reunion is truly honored! Doesn’t that call for a drink?"
As soon as Yun Zijin sat down, someone suggested a group toast.
Yun Zijin frowned. She didn’t really want to drink.
"I’ve been taking some Chinese medicine lately, so I can’t drink. I’ll toast with tea instead."
Before everyone could raise their glasses, Yun Zijin tactfully declined to drink alcohol.
’The Rose Essential Oil she was using was mixed with Chinese herbs, so it wasn’t a lie.’
"Whoa, that’s not cool! What, Yun University Genius, are you looking down on us alumni who didn’t do as well as you in school? It’s just one glass. What’s the big deal?"
Hearing Yun Zijin’s refusal, the person who had proposed the toast felt he had lost face, and his tone immediately became aggressive.
"So not drinking means I’m looking down on people? That’s some logic I’ve never encountered before."
Yun Zijin wasn’t about to indulge him.
