It had been several years since our last high school reunion, and today was particularly
lively.
The last to arrive was the class hottie. Despite the cold weather, she wore a sequined gown with a white fur coat and dramatic earrings, looking like she had just stepped off a runway. She had the looks to pull it off, now being a minor internet celebrity.
“Wow, our class beauty actually found time to join our reunion!” Several classmates exclaimed excitedly. Quite a few guys had crushed on her back in the day.
Her face, now with some “enhancements“, looked even more delicate than before. Her curvaceous figure made even the women’s hearts race.
Almost all the guys at the table stood up to greet her, except for Ethan, who remained seated quietly.
After greeting everyone, the class hottie walked straight to the seat next to Ethan and said with a smile, “Let’s switch seats, shall we?”
The classmate sitting next to Ethan happily gave up his seat.
Everyone laughed and teased, but it was nothing new. Everyone knew the class hottie had a thing for Ethan.
Ethan just nodded slightly in greeting.
the class hottie asked, “Ethan, are you planning to develop your career back home
now?”
Ethan smiled lightly. “Yes, I’ll be relying on everyone’s help from now on.”
Everyone quickly said they wouldn’t dare, knowing that the combined net worth of
everyone else in the room probably wouldn’t match even a fraction of his.
As the waiters started serving the food, the class hottie downed a glass of red wine
and asked with a flushed face, “Ethan, I heard you’re still single. Do you think I have a
chance?”
Her directness shocked everyone!
I was curious too, and looked up just in time to meet his gaze.
Ethan took a sip of his wine and said, “I’m sorry, but I already have someone I like.”

This news was even more shocking.
the class hottie didn’t seem discouraged though. Instead, her smile grew brighter. “As long as you’re not married, I still have a chance.”
They say it’s easy for a girl to chase a guy.
I felt a bit envious of the class hottie’s boldness in love, remembering how I used to
chase Jack so desperately.
I lowered my head and took a sip of red wine.
It was smooth and not too dry. Good wine indeed.
As the night went on and more drinks were consumed, everyone became more lively. Several guys I used to be close with in high school came over to toast with me.
With rosy cheeks, I said, “I can’t drink anymore, I’ve had too much already.”
My voice was naturally soft, and when I drank, it became even more coquettish.
I was trying to refuse firmly, but to others, it sounded like I was being coy.
I had hated my voice countless times before.
the class hottie seemed a bit annoyed. “Oh, come on, stop pretending. If you’re going to drink, just drink!”
Samantha was about to stand up to defend me, but Ethan was quicker. He picked up his glass and said with a smile, “Lily has already had quite a lot. I’ll drink the rest on her
behalf.”
“Wow-” Many classmates exclaimed in surprise!
I was also stunned. There were quite a few female classmates who had drunk too
much, including the class hottie who had hinted for him to help, but he hadn’t made a move. Now he was suddenly helping me out.
Was I being honored?
Samantha had a knowing smile on her face as she tugged at my hand and said, “Come with me to the restroom.”
Looking at my flushed face in the mirror, I was about to splash some cold water on it when Samantha grabbed my hand.
“Lily, did you forget you’re wearing makeup today?” she said, exasperated as she took out a powder puff to touch up my makeup. “You need to seize this opportunity later, I’ll help you!”
I looked at her, confused. “What do you mean?”
Samantha winked at me. “Ethan, of course! Didn’t you have a crush on him for all these years? I’m going to help you make your dream come true today!”
I quickly covered her mouth with my hand!
“Huh, talk about a frog wanting to eat swan meat. Have you looked at yourself in the
mirror?”
The class hottie walked in, a lit cigarette between her lips, looking at me disdainfully. She deliberately pushed out her chest as she spoke.
I lowered my head, looking at my shoes, feeling a bit dejected.
the class hottie continued to mock, “Take a good look in the mirror. Don’t get any wild ideas, not everyone is within your reach.”
My blood boiled, and I snapped.
With clenched fists, I stared at her and said word by word, “I’m not just thinking about it, I’m going to pursue him!”
the class hottie sneered, “You? Are you worthy?”
“If I’m not worthy, are you? You got plastic surgery and you’re looking down on natural beauty? Your figure looks great, where did you get your boob job? Can I get a discount if I
mention your name?”
Good, the class hottie was so angry she didn’t bother replying, just snorted and went
into a stall.
I walked out feeling triumphant, only to see Ethan leaning against the wall, smiling at
- me.
“Ah-“I was so startled I turned to go back into the restroom, but Samantha held onto my hand tightly. “Lily! Don’t chicken out!”
Ethan chuckled, “I heard you say you’re going to pursue me?”
I was mortified.
The alcohol wore off instantly!
I lowered my head, not daring to look at him.
Ethan reached out and patted my head. “Let’s go eat, it’s cold out here.”
I obediently followed Samantha back to the private room, walking like a robot.
Samantha excitedly shook my hand. “Lily, Ethan clearly likes you too. Go for it!”
Damn, how much did she drink to come up with such wild ideas?
