Unexpected Reunion

'Ah, it's the class president from high school'

Her name was Qi Jiao, her beauty was well-known back during his high-school days. Smart, intelligent, caring, she had it all.

Perhaps if Sky Yun didn't leave school all those years ago, he might have grown quite fond of her. But it wasn't meant to be it would seem.

"Hello, may I order please?"

Sky Yun didn't wish to acknowledge that he was in fact Chen Yun, but he did not wish to reject it either. Qi Jiao stared at him in shock, her mouth agape and tears started to fall down.

"I thought you w.. were dead!"

Sky Yun stared at her with a raised eyebrow, he did not expect such a reaction.

'Perhaps she fell for me? But let's be realistic, I wasn't exactly a handsome man back then.'

Back then, he only focused on his study trying his best to stay away from the crowds.

"Hey, why are you crying for?"

Sky Yun's straightforwardness caused Qi Jiao to slightly choke, she always knew him as a humble, low-self esteem individual yet the current him she sees is completely different.

"Umm, are you Chen Yun?"

Now she is starting to doubt herself, could this be not him? Her face went completely red from embarrassment, and started to cover her face with both her hands.

"Can I please order now?"

He was getting slightly impatient, although the current situation felt quite entertaining, he was still on a tight schedule training the troops.

"Ah! What would you like si.. sir?"

Her current state of mind was in a mess, was he Chen Yun? Was he not?

"Steak, medium rare please."

Sky Yun didn't care about how she felt, meeting her was just a coincidence and might never happen again.

"Oh, okay. I will get on it!"

She quickly rushed to the counter telling the kitchen the order, Sky Yun watched on and started to reminiscence his high school days.

It was peaceful, life for him at the time perhaps seemed bad, but to him today it was almost heavenly.

After a few minutes, Qi Jiao appeared with the food and placed it in front of him. He took off his scarf, and started to eat.

Qi Jiao looked on and was shocked to see a tattoo across 'Chen Yun's' neck. She was sure that this wasn't the boy she remembered years ago, and after discovering this she started to feel very embarrassed knowing that she just cried in front of a stranger.

Sky Yun from the corner of his eye looked at the reddened Qi Jiao and sighed. Times changed for many, and this was a prime example.

He stood up after eating, puts his scarf back on and walked out, but before he could make it to the door, Qi Jiao stops him face first.

Her face was close to his, Sky Yun was annoyed at the fact that another woman other than his wife was near him and he took a step back.

Qi Jiao realising what she has done lowered her head and placed a small pamphlet on the desk next to them. Sky Yun looked and saw it was an invitation.

"If you are Chen Yun, then come to the annual reunion of our class. Although many have grown up, we all have been in contact with each other and decided to create an annual gathering, so that we can still be together. "

Sky Yun was slightly surprised, not because of the fact she had given the invitation, but that they all still see each other despite it being years since they have graduated. He didn't really mingle within the class and at the time he was scrutinized as the heir to the Chen Family so he isolated himself from anyone.

He looked at the letter on the table, but decided not to go. He walked past Qi Jiao without a word and walked back to the army base.

Qi Jiao stared at Sky Yun, thinking that perhaps this was him. The silence, him not rejecting the possibility and avoiding the question played through her mind and she smiled.

Sky Yun returned to his room at night, and with a telephone in his hand he called Ling Xue.

RING~ RING~

It took no less than three rings before Ling Xue picked up.

"Hello dear, how's working for the army going?"

For the past few days, Sky Yun has told her everything, except before he returned to Shanghai. Those memories are best left forgotten to him, and Ling Xue didn't ask either.

"Tough. These soldiers don't actually no nothing except for lifting weights. But I'm doing well I guess."

Sky Yun dropped his cold facade, and talked about what had transpired today whilst Ling Xue listens.

"So, your class rep saw you today, and you didn't acknowledge the fact that you are said person, but wouldn't that make her even more curious?"

"It would, but to be honest I just wish to live my life with no one recognising me for my past. Anyways, enough about me. How have you been?"

Ling Xue smiled brightly at Sky Yun's question and started to talk on and on about how the entire area found out about her moving in with Sky Yun, and although some men were jealous others came down and gave her a wedding gift.

Sky Yun listened without a word, he wished to stay in this moment forever, knowing that now he isn't alone in this world.

After the conversation, he then started to get ready to go sleep. He took off the lights, and closed his eyes preparing himself to once again remember the memory.

But, the memory wasn't the same.

Sky Yun opened his eyes, and didn't leave his bed. His eyes, slowly revealing tears that he himself had forgotten he had.

He dreamt of the same dream, but as he looked at the girl's body, it then morphed into Ling Xue's figure. His hands covered in blood as he stared at the lifeless body of hers in his arms.

Sky Yun knew It was just a dream, but the thought of it caused him to almost lose his mind.

He stood up, and got ready for another day, trying his best not to remember the dream.
