Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 52
After being noisy for a while, the audience entered the seating area one after another, and the two round tables on the stage were also filled with teachers and students. The P Student Union has three committees, each with a chairman and a president. Each committee has a bunch of titles and levels. Sheng Huainan is one of the fifteen ministers of the executive committee; It's a bloated institution.

Luo Zhi sat in the corner, watching their huge family portrait, and said to Jiang Baili: "I think of the brigade department in our elementary school, that was the last power center I ever participated in."

Belle just laughed, didn't speak, and looked at the two hosts on the stage seriously.

"Could you please put that Madonna smile off your face? You make me feel like I've ascended to heaven."

Belle was still talking and laughing when she left the dormitory, but now she is like a puppet who has lost her voice, like the calm before the storm.If she hadn't watched her changing clothes and arranging her handbags with her own eyes, Luo Zhi might have suspected that she had hidden a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid waiting to be thrown at someone, or wrapped a dynamite bag around her waist in order to die together.

The opening of the reception is as long as all the conferences in China.The host's gags always end in silence, Luo Zhi gradually has a little sympathy for the beautiful man and woman on the stage who knows they are idiots but has no choice but to do it.The opening procedure included the New Year's speech by the President of the Student Union, the New Year's speech by the Secretary of the Youth League Committee, the New Year's speech by the Vice Principal, the New Year's speech by the Party Secretary, and the annual work summary report of the Student Union Supervision Committee... Luo Zhi yawned, and saw Sheng Huainan, standing in the middle of a group of ministers behind the stage, stood out from the crowd, and was also yawning at the moment.

They saw each other's unclosed mouths, Sheng Huainan laughed, but Luo Zhi didn't.She looked at him silently, her eyes were as bright and cold as cold stars.

The whole venue went dark, leaving only the colorful lights on the stage, and the cultural performance began.

Watching the performance, Luo Zhi felt drowsy, and with the principal and secretary sitting below him, the atmosphere on the stage was even more false.The performances of students are rarely wonderful, and there is only one real reason for their attraction: they are performing their own friends or enemies on stage, and you are waiting for them to be brilliant or ugly.Jiang Baili, who was the only one around who could speak, was so engrossed that she seemed to have reached the jackfruit. Luo Zhi's eyes scanned the dim audience, Gobi was not there, Chen Mohan was not there... Sheng Huainan was not there either.

She quietly put on the earphones, covered them slightly with broken hair, and began to listen to the ending monologue of "When Chilling Cries" downloaded from the Internet.In fact, she couldn't understand what the woman in the earphone was saying, but it felt good, and the cold female voice isolated her from her surroundings.

Also isolated from everything that happened before.

It's another year.she thinks.

The lights suddenly turned on, and the students stood up and walked towards the buffet on the long table, and the leaders on the round table began to eat with their chopsticks.Belle waved her hand and said to her, "I'm going to the bathroom, you can eat, I'll come back to you later."

Luo Zhi nodded, stood up and rubbed her numb buttocks, and walked quickly to the dining table.

Many beauties in beautiful clothes around her dare not eat too fast, not to mention there are always energetic people who come to strike up a conversation when others are eating—for example, the older and younger girl next to her at the moment is dealing with the talkative brother while Carefully trying to eat fried chicken wings with elegance.Luo Zhi sighed sympathetically, made a cup of lemon tea, and put eight or nine yuan of snacks on the plate.

When she turned around, she almost bumped into someone, Luo Zhi carefully supported the plate, but fortunately only a little lemon tea was spilled on the carpet, it was not serious.She stood still after making sure that the snacks were all safe and sound, without looking up to see who was in front of her, she said "I'm really sorry", and planned to walk around the other party to the seating area.The man moved slightly to the side, blocking her.

She vaguely felt what the other party said, but the music was too loud and she couldn't hear it clearly, not to mention that she couldn't take off the earphones now, so she could only look up at the other party blankly.

A very angular man, with a suit jacket on his left arm and a bright gray shirt, looks to be in his early thirties, with a smile on his face.

"I said you eat seriously." He said it again, Luo Zhi heard it this time, grinned, and moved on.When passing by the man, the man stretched out his hand to lift a few locks of hair covering her side face by the left ear, and when she saw the earphones, she showed such an original expression.

Luo Zhi frowned and took a step aside, her hair slipped out of his palm.

She returned to her seat and slowly finished the cake, drank the warm lemon tea in small sips, and wanted to leave, but Jiang Baili was still missing.

Went to the bathroom for half an hour.

The leaders at the round table all retreated at some point. As soon as they left, the students below became more active, and from time to time there were collective laughter and strange screams.She was in a hurry to find Belle, and her inspection eyes bumped into the man again.The other party was chatting with Gobi, the two of them were holding a glass of red wine and chatting freely. The scene looked very, very... a domestic TV series.I don't know where it's a little awkward.

The man seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he sensed her gaze from such a distance. He turned his head and smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand as a gesture.If it was Gobi who made this move, she might have burst into laughter, but this person's gestures are extremely natural, which can be regarded as extraordinary.

The age of the man is not in vain, Gobi is more mature than the average boy, and he is just a stunned young man in front of this man.Thinking of this, Luo Zhi immediately sneaked into the crowd, and from the corner of her eye, she saw that Gobi was looking for the person who was greeted just now in doubt.

Luo Zhi walked out of the door of the venue, ran to the door of the women's bathroom and called "Belle" twice.

"Jiang Baili?" A door was pushed open, and Luo Zhi looked down to see a pair of silver high-heeled shoes, with crystal lights filled in the rhinestones.

Chen Mohan's voice was very sweet, but without any characteristics. She was fully armed and smiled impeccably, like a female star at a press conference.Luo Zhi feels a little regretful, it seems that the girl with flying hair in the photo is more agile.

Luo Zhi pretended not to have seen Chen Mohan, and nodded to her: "Yes, I'm looking for her."

"who are you?"

"I'm her roommate. Do you know where she is?"

"Go look for it near the Gobi." Chen Mohan laughed, the corners of his mouth full of pride.She opened the wine-red handbag, took out her makeup bag and began to apply mascara in the mirror.Luo Zhi stood behind, looking at Chen Mohan who kept comparing the left side and the right side of his face in the mirror, and sincerely felt that Jiang Baili's speech was not ordinary.The woman in front of her couldn't possibly be the uncommon beauty in Jiang Baili's story—it's not that a beauty can't wear makeup, she just couldn't tolerate the impetuousness and hostility in the corners of Chen Mohan's eyes and brows.

A smile appeared on Luo Zhi's face.Chen Mohan is a sensitive person, he turned to look at her with a cold face: "What are you laughing at?"

Luo Zhi stared at her innocent eyes and asked, "You asked me to look for it next door, but the next door is the men's room! Did you see her in the men's room?"

After Luo Zhi finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the murderous bathroom.

She had just returned to her seat when she saw Sheng Huainan walk in the door.Luo Zhi's location was very hidden. She hung up her earphones, leaned her elbows on her knees, rested her chin with her hands, but followed him closely through the thin bangs on her forehead.

Sheng Huainan is still so eye-catching in the crowd, but he is different from Gobi: he is kind and introverted, he has both sides but is not slick.Zhu Yan was right, no matter how wronged she was, she never denied Sheng Huainan even the slightest bit because of it. In her heart, he was perfect and omnipotent. He is more real and attractive in her heart, not to mention she never doubts that he will be able to calmly play the focus in the next second.She never even had to think about whether there was any hard work behind this perfection, as if she was born with it.Just like everyone looks up at the sun, no one will think about why it shines, and whether it will burn out one day.

Luo Zhi smiled, and for some reason, she thought of herself in a bright yellow suspender skirt, who looked like a village girl.

"At your age, you insist on dressing like this. It's really interesting to imitate adults and hold a reception." Luo Zhi heard someone talking, took off her earphones, and saw the strange man sitting on the right next to her, unconsciously. stunned.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Let me say it again, it's not that kind of girl who attracts the most attention on this occasion." He said, moving his mouth toward the door, pointing at Qiao Xiaoqian who was beside Gobi. Xi Chen Mohan.

Luo Zhi didn't know whether she should answer a sentence politely.

"What really draws attention is a girl like you, dressed so simply that you look out of place, like you have a world of your own."

I want to throw up.Luo Zhi patiently refused to let herself say these three words.

But I have to admit that this man still has the ability to make this kind of words that seem to be excerpted from low-quality romance novels not so disgusting.

Luo Zhi thought about it again and again, but still forced herself to smile, enduring the urge to choke back, and put on the earphones again.

After the leaders left, the composition of the crowd in the venue began to divide.The freshmen and junior officers all wandered around the buffet table, while the core backbone of the sophomores and above gathered around the two huge round tables, gossiping, chatting, and fighting over wine.Luo Zhi couldn't quite hear what they were talking about, but saw that Gobi was being force-fed non-stop, and Chen Mohan didn't stop her.After a few glasses of wine, Gobi's face was flushed, and people around him seemed to start gossip about his new relationship. Chen Mohan often lowered his head in an embarrassed look, while Gobi laughed, and he never refused to drink a cup.There were several boys jumping up and down by the table, and one of them always unconsciously squinted at Chen Mohan's chest.

Luo Zhi frowned.

Finally hugged the beauty back.Gobi's smile was not the "boyish smile of pure joy" that Jiang Baili had boasted to her at the beginning.

It's just an ordinary pride, and it's not even bitter.

That little bit of pure joy was probably an illusion of Jiang Baili, a novel lover.Luo Zhi let out a long sigh, and the earphone in his right ear was suddenly pulled out.

"What are you listening to?"

The man hadn't left yet.Luo Zhi watched him put the earphones into her ears and listened carefully for a while, then pulled them out again, and smiled at her familiarly: "So you like Daniel Powter (Daniel Potter), and I do too. This The song is the theme song for a Coca-Cola commercial he wrote in 2005."

Luo Zhi was stunned for a long time, and finally remembered to pull the cable of the earphone to pull it back, and asked, "Who are you?"

"You're finally interested in knowing who I am." The man smiled confidently, as if telling Luo Zhi that it's pointless to pretend to be noble.

"Mr. Gu."

Luo Zhi raised her head and saw Sheng Huainan without any surprise.
