Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 25 Later
Sheng Huainan smiled when he heard this, and tilted his head to look at her seriously.

You will not understand.Luo Zhi sighed.

Romance is always seen by the bystander.

For Sheng Huainan, this incident was a romantic adventure in childhood.A quiet girl, an encounter without "later".

But not for her.

That was the first time she met him.She was always the unfortunate, unromantic guy.

She took on all the "later".

Because later, she learned that her mother was going to attend the wedding ceremony of the factory leader’s son in name, but she was actually bringing Moutai and a set of children’s encyclopedias to beg Sheng Huainan’s father for help in claiming her father’s pension.

Because later, she saw the indifference and contempt in the woman's eyes when her mother greeted Sheng Huainan's mother.

Because later, the too beautiful sunset behind him that day never set, stinging her eyes time and time again.

At that time, she was alone, sitting on the steps, and she seemed to be able to feel the cold sweat of her mother's palm with her left hand.

Luo Zhi looked up, and saw the clear blue sky, and the clouds were laid out like fish scales, spreading all the way to the horizon.She looked at it, and suddenly wanted to tell her mother, don't want the money, okay?
If we don’t want the money, it’s because we don’t want it, not because they don’t give it to us.

That way you won't cry.

Lift your head until your neck aches, and suddenly the sky is blocked by a big head.

It was him, smiling at her, and asked her, "What's your name? My name is Sheng Huainan, which means the south. My mother is from the south, but I'm a man from the north. However, they all said my name sounds nice."

Before she could answer, he said again: "Why are you sitting here by yourself? The girls are going to play house, so you can come too."

He said: "By God's destiny, I want to marry her."

Only when she grew up did Luo Zhi understand that speaking is a very important thing, and those small and broken sentences can fill the gaps between people. It is better to be crowded than empty, after all, it is not desolate.

In her gloomy childhood, just because she was "not desolate", she was able to face injustice, and she was able to go against her mother's thousand-thousand exhortations, "Be good and don't cause trouble", and face the fists of a few boys without fear.The fists she swung looked decent, and she gave her back to a child she didn't know but trusted. The excitement of becoming the protagonist of the movie finally dispelled the dark clouds that had lasted for many days in the sky of her childhood.

A ray of sunshine emerges from life.

He said, "You are so powerful, you are more fierce than boys in fighting."

He said, "Don't be afraid, don't say that you pushed him down."

He said: "Just now the bride and groom did one more thing, and we have to do it too, before you officially marry me."

He said: "Don't forget me, I'll go to Uncle Xiaozheng's first, and I'll come to you later!"

What did the lyrics say?

You shine for a while, I am dizzy for a lifetime.

Luo Zhi's mother failed to send out the encyclopedia and good wine, this clumsy way was impossible to succeed in the first place, and there were too many people talking, so it was not a good occasion for gift giving.Mother carried a heavy gift in one hand, and hurriedly took Luo Zhi away with the other.On the way, Luo Zhi was very anxious, hesitated for a long time before crying, "Mom, can we wait until the wedding is over before leaving? I'm afraid he won't find me."

"His name is Sheng Huainan."

Mom looked at her with emotion in her eyes.

"Oh, their children." Mom smiled bleakly.

Then he took her with a cold hand and left firmly.

The next day, she was taken to a compound by her mother, and her mother went in to do some errands and entrusted her to the old lady in the mail room.She innocently and obliquely asked the old grandma: "Do you know a kid named Sheng Huainan? He is so beautiful. Many people know him." You will see him!"

She foolishly believed it, and rushed into the compound to tell her mother that she was going to kindergarten, but saw her mother crying and begging for an aunt.She met Sheng Huainan's mother.

She didn't hear what they said.

Quietly withdrew, and never mentioned kindergarten again—she was six years old, long past the age of kindergarten.

She never mentioned the word "Sheng Huainan" again.He is their child.Mom will tremble with anger when she hears it, their family.

However, even in those 11 years when he didn't show up, he still haunted Luo Zhi's youth.

It's just that in the past 11 years, the warmth of the first meeting is no longer there.He became a measure of some kind of hatred, a ruler of her eagerness to try, and the only way of revenge.

For the next four years, he lowered her into the dust, and a humble flower bloomed.

All this came later.What he didn't know about later.

Sheng Huainan stretched out his hand to pull her distracted back to reality, and the vegetable tempura was already served.

He pointed to the plate and said, "Fortunately, there is no fat in this dish. I'll put these two pieces of fat on the rack later, what do you think?"

He was overjoyed by this magical coincidence.

She did it on purpose.She did it on purpose from beginning to end.He was the one who put the fat on the top of the stool rung.Not long after that wedding started, at the dinner table, his mother boasted about her precious son's naughty deeds under all kinds of flattering and envious eyes, while she was sitting quietly at the next table eating.

How dare she put the fat there?In the past, when she ate nasty chopped green onions and fatty meat, she would hold back her nausea and would not even chew them, just swallowing them abruptly like swallowing medicine.

She looked at his clean expression through the hot air of the ramen, and as soon as she lowered her head, tears spilled into the noodle bowl.

"Thank you, though."

Sheng Huainan was stunned for a few seconds because of her thoughtless words.

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for inviting me to dinner."

Thank you for remembering, let me know that the little wedding that you insisted on to the end was not a dream.

Although usually reticent, she is good at listening and chatting when needed.

From who is the most handsome in "Slam Dunk", to the teacher who dragged on for 10 minutes in the last meditation class and always boasted that he had removed three-fifths of his stomach as a feat. There is never a chat where the corners of the eyes and brows are all smiling.

And really laughing.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when I walked out of the cafe.He had already stood up and took two steps, but he suddenly turned around, secretly placed two pieces of fat on the stool rung, and then naturally took her sleeves and strode out of the restaurant.

Luo Zhi was blushing and heart beating when she suddenly saw Zhang Mingrui coming out of the third canteen.

Zhang Mingrui also saw them, he didn't say hello or smile, he turned his head to look at the mirror at the door, and after a while, he entered again.

She turned her head and looked at Sheng Huainan who was walking on the left.His right hand accidentally hit her left hand several times, Luo Zhi suddenly panicked and quickly put his left hand into his pocket.

When he sent her back to the dormitory, she left very simply, not as reluctantly as before.

Who would believe that with such a big progress, Luo Zhi not only doesn't have much sense of accomplishment, but even feels a little sad for such a big progress, from letting go of the past to seeing each other late.

She tried her best to use her information to create topics and coincidences in exchange for Sheng Huainan's interest, and she did.Just now at the door of the dormitory building, he said to her for the second time: "It's really a pity that I didn't know you in high school."

This time, Luo Zhi saw sincerity from Sheng Huainan's smile.

"Indeed, I feel sorry for it too," she said.

He laughed, thinking that it was her harmless little narcissism, but he would never know that it was her only truth in today's endless conversation.

In a play directed and acted by himself, the only one who couldn't get into the play was himself.It's a pity for Luo Zhi that she missed the surprises of "discovering a coincidence" and "seeing each other late" that Sheng Huainan felt just now, because she knows the truth, all the truth.

If, like the script she performed, she met Sheng Huainan by chance on the university campus, and heard the story of "Fengtian Chengyun" from his mouth, she would be so happy that she would jump up from her chair and say, "So, It turned out to be you...greetings to His Majesty the Emperor! Have all the rebels been wiped out?"

That must be very happy, the heart is beating violently, real happiness.

Instead of being like this now, sitting in the dormitory, carefully calculating whether his performance will impress him.

She is not fit to be a suitor.She seemed to be jealous of him for 11 years and looked up to him humblely for four years, but she never thought that her real trump card was pride.

She is proud. From family to school to love, she struggles. Every step she takes is because she looks forward proudly.

Maybe it was just because he happened to be always in front of her.
