Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 14
Luo Zhi didn't see Sheng Huainan again for a long time.

There was no text message, and Sheng Huainan didn't even go to the second and third introductory law classes.Zhang Mingrui sat beside her the whole time.

She asked lightly, "Where did Sheng Huainan go?"

Zhang Mingrui said: "I was preparing for the debate, so I skipped class."

"debate?"

"Our school defeated your School of Economics in a debate a few days ago. Everyone said that regardless of the social science department, eloquence is still not as good as our logical science students."

Seeing Luo Zhi's dazed and distracted look, Zhang Mingrui felt that the topic he just talked about was seriously wasted.

"Your mouth is also very powerful. You always play tricks when you hurt me. Why didn't you participate in the debate competition?"

Luo Zhi smiled: "My eloquence is only responsible for eliminating violence and bringing peace to the people."

Zhang Mingrui made a "cut" and turned his head.

On the weekend of the first week after the National Day holiday, Luo Zhi met Tiffany's mother.She mentioned to Luo Zhi the changes in Jake, and the two children's love for the big brother who played with them all over the playground, and further asked Luo Zhi, would that boy be willing to come to accompany Jake several times a week and make a family with her A teacher is a partner.

Luo Zhi agreed to ask for help.

After returning from the playground, she was convinced that the weird and awkward atmosphere was not just her illusion.She waited for Sheng Huainan's text message, waiting for him to explain something - even if it was an apology, clearly saying, I'm sorry I shouldn't hold your hand impulsively - but there was nothing.

She didn't take the initiative to contact.Luo Zhi was convinced that she didn't need to say more, she didn't refuse at that time, and grabbed his hand tightly, what did her action mean, how could he not understand if he was so smart?
Luo Zhi knew that if it was possible for her to receive text messages from the other party again, then it must be the mass sending of wishes during Christmas.

However, regarding Jake, she had to contact him, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do business when she went to tutor in the afternoon.During the lecture period, she reluctantly sent a text message, simply conveying the hostess' thanks and invitation, carefully choosing her words, and trying her best not to sound like she was just looking for something to say.

It took a long time to get a reply.

"You're welcome, I said I like them very much. But I'm sorry, I've been very busy recently. The student union and the debate team have a lot of activities. Help me tell their mother that I will often play with them when I have time, but there is no charge .^_^”

Luo Zhi was stunned.Is it mean to take money?
She told herself, he didn't mean it, he wasn't mocking you, Luo Zhi, don't be narrow-minded, don't think too much, he didn't mean it...

She had almost forgotten that, after the Odyssey, he had asked her how many times a week she would be tutoring, while the two children were running to take out the trash.She said that with an hourly wage of 150 yuan, she spends about six hours a week studying and playing with her two children.

It seems that as soon as you close your eyes, you can see Sheng Huainan's calm face and the faint sentence: "Not bad, Fat Cha, and he is such a cute child."

"It's tiring to please children, but it's tiring to do any job, and it's really not easy to make money." She told him so sincerely at the time, she thought he wouldn't misunderstand.

She is so naive.How important is money, how would he know.

He was still the little boy in the clean and nice children's suit, standing on the steps holding the ball and reaching out to her.

It's just that she looked up to him from the very beginning, and some gestures concealed humbleness and anger that were not easy to find.She tried her best to stand upright and walked towards a high place, but she still looked up at him.

Luo Zhi frantically told herself, you think too much, you think too much.However, the tears turned countless times and fell down tick tock.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Mingrui was a little flustered.

"It's okay." She wiped away her tears with a facial tissue and continued to copy notes, as if nothing happened just now.

Nothing happened, the hand held by him, and the concealed contempt were all misunderstandings.

Zhang Mingrui looked at her silently for a long time.The opportunity of sitting together in class these two weeks made him discover that Luo Zhi was gentle and dull most of the time.In the class where only the two of them got along alone, she hardly spoke, and she didn't know what she was thinking. A thick layer of diaphragm strangled all Zhang Mingrui's unspoken words.

However, at certain times, she is still reticent, but she has a lot of witty words, and she can use simple words to continue the topic perfectly and vividly.

At those times, she was awake, always ready to fight, and was trying to "present" Luo Zhi.

At those times, it was the first time we met in the Fa Tuo class, and a certain person was there.

There was a trace of inferiority and pity in Zhang Mingrui's eyes that he couldn't explain clearly.

They are all like this.So is Luo Zhi, and so is she.He didn't understand it before, but now he understands everything.

The autumn air has a special smell, cool and sweet, which Luo Zhi likes very much.She barely finished the first half of the class, put down her pen and rushed out of the teaching building, took a deep breath before she could stand still, until her lungs hurt, and then slowly exhaled.

It has been a long time since she went to the playground to run laps.

Suddenly saw Zheng Wenrui at the door.After their long talk, every time Zheng Wenrui saw Luo Zhi in the teaching building, he would look away and squeeze his mouth together in embarrassment.Luo Zhi also pretended not to see her knowingly.Luo Zhi felt that she could understand her feelings, but the gate in her heart couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly found someone to confide in, and when she calmed down, she would feel very ashamed in retrospect, as if the listener was laughing mercilessly with his mouth open. Same as myself, more embarrassing than being stripped naked.

Zheng Wenrui would not know, but they are actually very similar.She has no right to laugh at anything.

Luo Zhi suddenly remembered Zheng Wenrui's words "she's coming back".

The sudden change in the amusement park that day came after Ye Zhanyan's new information.Has Ye Zhanyan turned around?

So what, the focus is not on Ye Zhanyan at all.Luo Zhi smiled bitterly.

I suddenly wanted to call my mother and ask her if she was doing well. It was already so cold in the north, would my knees hurt?

Even though Luo Zhi bathed in the golden sunshine every week, playing frisbee catch with her beautiful siblings and the golden retriever, she still felt her own heaviness and fear all the time.She needs to always remember that the same world, the same dream, but not the same fate.

Their trajectories intersect only occasionally.

But Sheng Huainan wouldn't know.As smart as he is, he may be able to understand, but he will never be able to understand.

All these chaotic thoughts are entangled together, making Luo Zhi feel for the first time that they are so far away.

In the past, she deliberately distanced herself, so the distance seemed to be caused by herself, at least she didn't feel embarrassed when thinking about it.But now, trembling, she stretched out her hand once, wanting to refuse, but found that it was really far away, and she couldn't reach it at all, and the gesture of reaching out was laughed at by the other party.

When entering the room, Zhang Mingrui suddenly approached her mysteriously and said, "I was texting Sheng Huainan just now, and he described all the beauties in your high school to me."

"Oh?"

"He mentioned you too."

"Stop it."

"Tsk tsk, you beauties like to be humble on the surface and happy in your heart."

"Everyone is hypocritical."

"Look, did you admit it?"

"Admit what? I really wasn't considered a beauty in high school."

"why?"

"Hmm..." Luo Zhi pretended to think about it seriously, "Little boys in high school only focus on girls who dress up early and behave like adults, and haven't learned to appreciate me yet."

She stared at him and smiled brazenly, Zhang Mingrui blushed all of a sudden.

Although he was a little darker, his blushing was still visible.

"Hey, look, I'm not humble anymore, and you're acting like this again to let people live."

Zhang Mingrui came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "Really, the two of us really mentioned you. Sheng Huainan said that in high school, other than playing basketball and reading basketball magazines, the only fun left was for the boys. It is to search for beauties to make a list. As long as they look good, handsome, beautiful, and beautiful," Zhang Mingrui deliberately emphasized the last four words, "they will all be included in the list."

"and then?"

Zhang Mingrui raised his eyebrows and said, "And then, and then, Sheng Huainan just said—"

He stared at Luo Zhi, holding back a smile.

"He said he never paid attention to you in high school."

After he finished speaking, the two remained silent for a few seconds.

Zhang Mingrui suddenly squatted on the ground and laughed.

"Luo Zhi, I'm mad at you!"

After saying this sentence about the IQ level of a primary school student, he ran away happily, jumping and jumping, a lock of hair on the back of his head jumped up and down with the movement, and his back looked like a child who got candy.

At this time, the phone vibrated, and Sheng Huainan's text message came at the right time.

"Sorry, he asked me if I knew you in high school, and I said I never paid attention to it. He was very happy and said that he would take revenge on you with this sentence, who made you always choke him. I'm sorry..."

She could not laugh or cry.

Although she didn't have the same knowledge as Zhang Mingrui who made childish actions, Luo Zhi still felt a little bit bitter.

Anyway, didn't you really notice it at all?
Really?Not at all?
Many of her conjectures in high school have now been answered ruthlessly one by one.

She sat on her seat and flipped through the handouts aimlessly. After a few minutes, the phone vibrated again.

"Angry?"

Luo Zhi really wanted to say, I've been angry since a long time ago.

But she didn't have the guts to say it, because she cared about this vague and fragile relationship.Whoever cares can't eat and walk around.

"My heart is broken all over the ground, and I am fighting back piece by piece. Help me tell Zhang Mingrui that I have surrendered."

"Anyway, I apologize," he replied.

"Your apologies are always weird. First you apologized for Zhang Mingrui liking me, and now you apologize for not knowing me in high school. How do you ask me to say 'it's okay'?"

Sheng Huainan did not reply.

It was time for class to start, Zhang Mingrui returned to his seat with a glass of water in his hand, carefully watching Luo Zhi's expression.

"You're angry?"

"Actually, no, but to sell you face—well, it pissed me off."

"Sell my face?"

"Isn't it your purpose to piss me off?"

"who said it?!"

Zhang Mingrui blushed again, and turned his head to ignore her.

At this time, she still coped with it freely, without any embarrassment.She has such a useful mask.

Zhang Mingrui is careless, but he is very good at playing tricks on his buddies.He asked Sheng Huainan what Luo Zhi was like in high school.Sheng Huainan's answer was: I haven't noticed it, I only know that it is No.1 in the liberal arts class.

He didn't know why he had to stab her, as if it was fun to watch her lose control.

Or just trying to wake her up.As if she woke up, another person will see more clearly.
