1027 Classmate Reunion (1/2)
The villa area was just too large, and the gardening masters hired by management were driving around with golf carts to prune the trees. Snowy followed Snowball for quite a distance, then turned two corners. Around the second corner, a man and a dog stood at the entrance of the villa. It was Jin Er and Good-For-Nothing.
However, Jin Er was dressed differently than his usual, lazy, middle-aged uncle attire. He wore a spirited leather safari jacket with a pair of camo jeans and a pair of high-cut riding boots. If it wasn't for Good-For-Nothing, who stood beside him, Snowy really wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
Good-For-Nothing was also different from its usual self that day. Aside from its fur, which had been groomed, it wore a bow tie, as if it was classy. Snowy wondered if that was taken from Famous at the Berlin Film Festival.
Even so, Good-For-Nothing was still Good-For-Nothing. When it turned around, the look in its eyes gave it away.
When Good-For-Nothing saw Snowy and its sworn enemy, it tried to rush over immediately, only to be kicked by Jin Er. It then let out a soft whimper and remained where it was.
Snowy was really curious. Why was Good-For-Nothing being so obedient? What kind of magic did Uncle Jin possess?
In addition, Uncle Jin was so dressed up… Who was he waiting for?
Snowy bent over and hugged the eager Snowball, temporarily preventing the cat and dog from getting into a full-scale martial arts battle.
”Uncle Jin, good morning!” Snowy greeted him.
Jin Er turned to the side and looked at her, then squinted his eyes and smiled. ”Good morning, Snowy. You're up early today!”
Snowy noticed that he had actually shaved his mustache; he didn't have his usual unshaven look. He looked much younger. Could he possibly have been waiting for a lady?
”Well, it's not early anymore. I'm taking Snowball out for a walk and getting some fresh air at the same time. It's too boring to stay at home!” Snowy rolled her eyes, then she grew curious. She asked, ”Uncle Jin, why aren't you fishing today?”
”Because I'm waiting for an old classmate. As for fishing, I can do that whenever I want,” Jin Er said heartily.
”Old classmate? University classmate?” Snowy asked.
”Yeah.” Jin Er nodded.
Good-For-Nothing noticed that Snowball was in Snowy's arms, and because Snowball didn't seem to pose any threat to it, it got closer with a silly look on its face. It stuck out its tongue to deliberately provoke Snowball. It was only until it was kicked by Jin Er again that it behaved itself.
So it was a reunion with his university classmate. No wonder…
Snowy heard that many university students that reunited after many years of separation would show the inconstancy and fickleness of human affection. Those that were doing well in life would become the focus of the party and the envy of everyone, and they would openly show off their branded car, branded watch, and their annual salary of millions of dollars. Those that were just doing average in life would suck up to them, while those that were doing poorly would hide in a corner, quietly drinking by themselves, or they would simply just not participate.
Regardless of the standards, Jin Er was obviously the kind who was doing well in life. Since he was doing well in life, did that also mean that he was unable to escape from the unhealthy cycle? Was he planning to show off his wealth in front of his old classmate?
Taking his usual character into consideration, he didn't seem like someone that would stoop that low.
Besides, although he was dressed differently, it wasn't to the extent of showing off.
”Uncle Jin, you're dressed up nicely today! Are these new clothes?” Snowy was really curious, so she tried to delay the time, hoping to meet Jin Er's old classmate. After that, she could return home with gossip for her mom and dad.
”Haha! It's just okay!” Although Jin Er was being modest, it felt good to receive a compliment from a young girl.
