Chapter 123
As he spoke, Zhang Lei patted the shoulder of the young man beside him and pointed at him with his other hand.
Ji Feng was slightly stunned as he looked in the direction that Zhang Lei was pointing at.
Immediately, Ji Feng saw the young man standing next to Zhang Lei. He was stunned, but soon after, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
”w.a.n.g Tong, why is it you?!” Ji Feng shouted in surprise.
”Why can't it be me?” The young man smiled as he looked over. He punched Ji Feng in the chest and said excitedly: ”Brother, long time no see!”
”Long time no see!” Ji Feng nodded his head heavily. Then, he took two steps forward and extended his arms to embrace this young man called w.a.n.g Tong. ”Brother, it has been a while!”
Ji Feng, who usually rarely lost his composure, seemed to be pleasantly surprised.
The reason for this was because Ji Feng was very happy to see the young man whom Zhang Lei was referring to.
This young man was none other than one of Ji Feng's best friends in high school, or to be more precise, this young man was one of Ji Feng's only two friends in high school.
Among these two friends, one of them was Zhang Lei, and the other was this young man, w.a.n.g Tong!
In high school, Ji Feng did not have many friends. On one hand, it was because Ji Feng was too introverted at the time, and because of his family background, it was hard for him to not have some feelings of inferiority in his heart.
On the other hand, because of Ji Feng's clothes, people could easily tell that he was a poor kid. His family wasn't good, his background wasn't good, and he was very introverted, so who would like to be friends with such a person?
However, at that time, there were two friends who had a particularly good relations.h.i.+p with Ji Feng.
Zhang Lei naturally didn't need to say it, because he was from a family of officials, he was used to all kinds of hypocrisy. Therefore, Zhang Lei really couldn't stand watching students compete with each other at such a young age, or constantly bragging about how rich their family was or how capable their dad was.
Hence, Zhang Lei had some opinions on these people, but Ji Feng treated him very well, so their relations.h.i.+p was quite good.
On the other hand, w.a.n.g Tong was somewhat similar to Ji Feng.
Of course, this didn't mean that w.a.n.g Tong was a single-parent family, and that his family was very poor.
In fact, the reason why w.a.n.g Tong was similar to Ji Feng was because they were both introverted and didn't like to show off, nor did they like to interact with other people. This was because w.a.n.g Tong was short, even though he was in his third year, he was still just a little over 1.6 meters tall. At that time, many girls were taller than him.
Because of this reason, many people directly called w.a.n.g Tong 'Xiao Budian', and some people even nicknamed him 'Little Radish'.
Especially those ruffian students, who called him that in front of w.a.n.g Tong. w.a.n.g Tong was angry but did not dare to say anything, feeling very aggrieved in his heart.
Sometimes, when w.a.n.g Tong was very angry, he would grit his teeth and retort, but in the end, those people would push him, or even more so, give him a kick.
After being beaten a few times, w.a.n.g Tong had become more reluctant to communicate with others, and he had become more introverted.
Because Ji Feng never bullied him, Zhang Lei would often help w.a.n.g Tong take care of those ruffian students who bullied him. So gradually, the three of them became good friends and had a good relations.h.i.+p with each other.
It was easy to imagine how deep the friends.h.i.+p built up under those circ.u.mstances would be.
Some people once said that in normal circ.u.mstances, in a person's lifetime, a true friends.h.i.+p would always start from high school.
Before high school, people were still young because they hadn't grown up yet. Strictly speaking, they were still young and their minds weren't mature enough to begin with. Therefore, their friends.h.i.+p at that time wasn't that strong.
After entering university, there was a certain amount of benefit relations.h.i.+p between people and they also understood how to compete with each other. Thus, the feelings between friends and cla.s.smates were always mixed with some indescribable benefit relations.h.i.+p.
As for those who could become friends after going to work in the society, there were few, if not none, of them.
It was also because of this that many of the friends who had been together for many years or even their entire lives were high school cla.s.smates.
Therefore, he hadn't seen w.a.n.g Tong for three years, but now, he suddenly saw him here. Ji Feng felt a kind of heartfelt joy, without any impurities.
”I say, you two men can't be planning on staying here and not letting go, right?” Zhang Lei mocked her on the side, ”People will misunderstand if we do that. Should I stay away from you?”
”Nonsense!”
Ji Feng laughed as he scolded w.a.n.g Tong before separating from him. The two of them smilingly punched each other a few times.
”Oh my G.o.d, Ji Feng, how does your body look like? Your muscles are tougher than my fists!” w.a.n.g Tong was speechless. Just now, he had punched Ji Feng, but the result was as if he had hit the body of an ox. ”It's only been a few years since we last met, but you're getting stronger and stronger!”
”Ha ha!”
