“A reunion?”
Su Ming expressed shock. “It’s been two years since we graduated from college. Can we nonetheless get in contact with our highschool classmates?”
Taking a sip of wine, Wang Kai defined, “Truly, most of our highschool classmates returned to Eastsea after ending school. It’s a first-tier metropolis, and their households are right here.”
