Chapter 34: Old Classmate

Gu Xiang felt uncomfortable under his scrutiny and said bluntly, "Is it proper etiquette to stare at an old classmate like this?"

顾湘被他盯的有点不自在，不客气的道：“这样的打量着老同学，难道就合乎礼节了吗？”

Hearing Gu Xiang speak like this, he withdrew his gaze and apologized, "I... I just didn''t recognize you at first glance, so I feel guilty. You were the top student in our class! Your ranking was like an unbreakable legend, and no one in the class could ever take your place. Back then, you were famous in our class, the department, and the entire school. But I failed to recognize you, which is really unforgivable!"

听到顾湘如此说话，他收回了打掉顾湘的目光。不好意思道：“我……我只是没有一眼认出你来，所以我自责不及，你可是我们班的第一名呀！你这个第一名是一个打不破的神话，班上没有一个人能抢了你的第一的位置。想当年你不仅在班里出名，在系里出名，在全校也是出名的。可是我却没有认出你，实在是不该呀！”

"Good school grades don''t mean you''ll do well in society." Gu Xiang said this, and in her heart, she added, "Not doing well in school doesn''t mean you won''t do well in society."

“在学校成绩好不代表在社会就混的好。”在学校混不好不代表就在社会混不好，顾湘在心里说出这第二句。

The person who did well in school but not in society was Gu Xiang. The person who didn''t do well in school but did well in society was him. However, Gu Xiang couldn''t say this so explicitly out of politeness.

在学校成绩好不代表在社会混的好的这个人是顾湘。在学校混不好，在社会上混得好的人，这个人是他，可是出于礼貌顾湘不能把这句话说得那么明了。

Nobody likes to have their shortcomings exposed.

只要是个人就都讨厌被人揭短的。

"Oh? Did you encounter any difficulties at work?"

“哦？工作上遇到难题了？”

Gu Xiang didn''t answer directly, "You should hurry back. Your parents have been waiting for you on the road for a long time, but you ran here, which isn''t good."

顾湘没有直接答话“你赶紧回去吧，你爸妈在那个路上已经等了你老半天了，可你却跑到这里来，终究是不好的。”

"It''s fine. I''m planning to stay home for a while, so I have plenty of time to spend with my parents. It won''t hurt to spend a little time here. Gu Xiang, we two classmates haven''t seen each other for many years, and we finally met today. We should at least have a meal together and chat abou
