Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 7

When Baili rushed through the door, Luo Zhi was sitting on a chair staring at the square light cast by the sun on the ground in a daze, and was suddenly frightened by the other party's loud voice and came back to his senses.

"Why don't you go out? The club is recruiting new people, there are so many people, and the animation club also has cosplay (role-playing) performances."

It has been two weeks since I saw Sheng Huainan that time.At the end of September, the autumn tiger has passed and the weather turns cooler.Although the sun was shining today, it was extremely cold, and Luo Zhi caught up with "a few days of each month", her hands and feet were cold.She tucked her neck into the collar of her sweater, holding the hot water cup with both hands, curled up, her eyes glazed over.Although it might be much warmer outside than the cold room at this time, she just didn't want to move.

Gobi is the head of the Youth League Committee and Associations, and various associations have been busy recruiting new members these days.As a superior, he has a lot of things to do, but the freshmen and junior officers under him have just been recruited and haven't started their work yet, and the old sophomores have left long ago because they have no titles to mix with.At such a time of inactivity, Jiang Baili became the main force without identity, doing her part, busy every day, and the two of them hadn't quarreled for more than a week, which surprised Luo Zhi.

Belle dragged Luo Zhi up from the chair, and chattered like a machine gun: "Several team members will come over to discuss the party in the evening. Aren't you the most afraid of noise? Go out and look around. Look at you, it won't be until October What kind of sweater are you wearing, are you from the north, what a shame."

Belle answered the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

"Do you really want to treat me to dinner tonight? I'm too lazy to go out, so I want takeaway. I still have a PAPA JOHN"S (great! John) discount card, [-]% off student card, a while ago, your big beauty Liu Jing The card that draws everyone together, forgot? ... In short, wait for those members of your department to come, and I will ask them to deliver it to you. Don't hold back, you said you want to invite. "

She smiled coquettishly and sat down on Luo Zhi's table: "Well, they'll be over in a while, have you guys finished the meeting yet? ... Ouch, I'm so annoying! I got it!"

Luo Zhi helplessly raised her head to look at Jiang Baili who was excitedly talking to the phone, then slowly took off her winter sweater, put on her coat and stepped out of the dormitory door.

She walked aimlessly, looking up at the golden ginkgo leaves and the dazzling afternoon sun shining through the gaps all the way, with her five fingers stretched out to the sky, letting the fragments of the sun sting her eyes.

Bored, a little annoyed that I didn't bring out the IELTS vocabulary book, thinking of Jiang Baili's sweet and coquettish, I didn't bother to go back.

Luo Zhi was staring at the row of bicycles in front of the building in a daze, and felt someone looking at her out of the corner of her eye.

Some strange girl was smiling at her.The girl was wearing light blue metal-rimmed glasses, and her eyes were a little wide apart. She was wearing whitish jeans and a light purple long-sleeved T-shirt. The pants didn't fit well, and her thighs were stretched.

Luo Zhi suddenly remembered that she was her high school alumni, and her name seemed to be Zheng Wenrui.

"Why are you in a daze?" Zheng Wenrui asked.

"No, just think about it... Then I should do something." The other party's familiar tone made her a little uncomfortable.

"have you eaten?"

"It's too early now, I plan to go back to the dormitory to clean up before going to eat."

"Then let's go together."

She raised her eyebrows in surprise, subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay."

Luo Zhi didn't know Zheng Wenrui, but as long as she was a student of Zhenhua High School, she should remember the girl in Class 3 ([-]) who wore a short-sleeved T-shirt and cropped pants, and did exercises between classes in a pair of strappy sandals. child.

On a cold March day.

Everyone turned their heads to look in her direction as if they had cervical spondylosis.Luo Zhi only knew that this girl had very good grades, and she was currently studying in the computer department of P University.Regarding her crazy behavior that time, Luo Zhi also understood it as the eccentricity of top students—who doesn't have eccentricities?She has a whole bunch herself.

However, Zheng Wenrui had never even spoken to her, so this invitation seemed particularly weird.

As soon as Zheng Wenrui sat down at the barbecue restaurant, he asked her softly, "Would you mind drinking some wine?"

It turned out that she just grabbed someone at random to accompany her to drink away her sorrows.Thinking of this, Luo Zhi relaxed a lot.

The barbecue was served, and the beer was also served, so the two began to eat in silence.Zheng Wenrui drank cup after cup, occasionally raised his head, and smiled cautiously at Luo Zhi.

The strange quiet atmosphere continued until Zheng Wenrui drank too much.

"I used to be normal."

The prologue was as inexplicable as the meal.Luo Zhi quickly recovered from her daze, and nodded to show that she was listening.

"In order to get close to him, I studied hard and got into the top five in the class."

Luo Zhi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. ……you are amazing?

Or, who is he?
"But it didn't work. So, I ended up doing a lot of really embarrassing things to punish myself."

After Zheng Wenrui finished speaking, he raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and he stared at Luo Zhi stubbornly.

Luo Zhi panicked.She didn't think it was a good time to listen to gossip, nor was she interested.For this inexplicable meal appointment, she was full of regrets.

"For example...for example, what's the embarrassment?" Luo Zhi bit the bullet and asked after all.

Zheng Wenrui didn't answer, but sneered with the corners of his mouth raised.

Luo Zhi made amends with some embarrassment: "I mean, why did you do this?"

"In order to destroy his image in his heart." Zheng Wenrui replied.

Fascinated by this answer, Luo Zhi froze for a moment, then lowered her head to stare at the white grease condensed on the already cold piece of grilled pork belly.

She was thinking of herself.Why didn't she wonder about her "image" in Sheng Huainan's mind? She had no impression when she grabbed the same bottle of black tea, and she was absent-minded when drinking coffee for the first time. What is her image like?Was he also ruined by his affectation and annoyance at the coffee shop?
Luo Zhi sighed.

"Since there is no way to get close to him no matter how good he becomes, it is better to completely destroy all ways to get close to him. Maybe I will give up in this way—maybe that's what I think." Zheng Wenrui hiccupped, laughed, and put He drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp and continued talking.

Luo Zhi smiled when she heard this.This idea is quite unique.

"But I still don't give up. It's all like this, I still don't give up."

How could it be so easy.Luo Zhi didn't speak, and continued to lower her head and smile.

"Do you want to know why I like him?"

Luo Zhi raised her head and was taken aback.

"Because he is perfect. Because there is only one aisle between him and me, he sits upright every day, reading books and solving problems, secretly playing handheld games in class, and can still answer all the questions when called by the teacher; because he walks with Wind, there is a fragrance of fabric softener on my body, and there is no peculiar smell when I am sweating profusely after playing. I mustered up the courage to pass the tissue over, and I can hear his very nice voice saying "thank you", and laughing. crooked eyes...

"I don't have any ideals. My family's expectations are all on my younger brother. My parents took it as a surprise when I was admitted to such a good university. My family is very mediocre, and they would quarrel over the price increase of eggs after dinner. I saw them I feel ashamed and want to hide away. But he, he is the most beautiful person I have ever met, unlike everyone I have met before.

"Yes, I know I'm not good-looking, I don't deserve him, but God is not fair, do I have to give up? Why should I like those who are not as good as him, because people who are worse than him compare with me Match? Why should I want to open a little bit, why should I settle for the second best?!"

The more Zheng Wenrui spoke, the more excited he became, tears streaming down his face, and he stared at the plate of barbecue in front of him as if struggling, his tense body trembling slightly.At the beginning, when Luo Zhi faced her thoughtless lyricism, she held back and didn't dare to laugh, thinking that she was acting like a play.However, when I heard this, I felt a little sad.

Yeah, why give up?God tortures people because it shows you what is beautiful with evil intentions, and then sees you salivating so much that you look down on everything else, and then takes it back and tells you, stop dreaming, in fact, it has nothing to do with you.

That's why we don't give up.

God is blatantly unfair, but mortals reserve the right to be paranoid.

As Luo Zhi thought about it, the corners of her mouth felt a little bitter unconsciously.

What's more, now she already knew that the "he" Zheng Wenrui mentioned was Sheng Huainan, although no one mentioned his name from the beginning to the end.

She loves him, but he doesn't love her.It's a boring topic, and one that lasts a long time.Zheng Wenrui liked him when he was in high school, confessed to him, but was rejected.Later he had a girlfriend, and she swore to give up.Later, when he came to university, he broke up with his girlfriend. She mustered up the courage to confess again, but was rejected by "a very gentle smile".

What Luo Zhi did was to smile or sigh at the right time, accompanied by movements such as shaking her head and nodding, as well as caring and quiet eyes.

Zheng Wenrui said that the crush was too painful. When she learned that he had a girlfriend, she let the teachers and students in the school watch her wearing thin clothes and doing exercises between classes. Being laughed at like this made her feel that she deserved what she deserved and that she was very happy to abuse herself.

That was the last time she was stupid in high school.

But not for the last time in this life.

She said that she thought she had forgotten and put it down, but she unconsciously studied the characteristics of his ex-girlfriend in college and shaped herself into a lively and pungent girl.

Luo Zhi couldn't laugh or cry, but there was a very gentle emotion in her heart.This weird girl doesn't seem to know the strategy of winning people's favor, but she doesn't want to laugh at the other's stupid tricks.

The sisters Tao often get together to discuss how to help their girlfriends tie or trick a boy's heart, but Luo Zhi appreciates this stupid boy who is fighting alone.

Feeling lonely and courageous, I don't know if that's what I mean.

Of course, she has to admit that she likes to watch tragic heroes, and it cannot be said that there is no dark psychology of gloating at others' misfortune.

Later, Zheng Wenrui was completely drunk, and no longer said some secretive words from time to time, such as "Actually, I have awakened, and I don't care about him very much now", but lay down on the table and sobbed softly.Luo Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her gaze to the glass on the right, with a relaxed and indifferent expression.Autumn nights in Beijing are quite bleak, and the temperature difference between inside and outside of the barbecue restaurant makes dense water droplets form on the windows.

Luo Zhi tentatively picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.

Everyone is an unloved person, and they are not so tough and brave, so they can only drink to show their respect.

There is always such a kind of people in the world, for mediocre ordinary people, their existence is simply a kind of irony.

For example, Sheng Huainan.

"By the way, you and his ex-girlfriend are in the same class, right?"

Luo Zhi was startled, she thought that the person opposite had already fallen asleep.

"Yes."

"Is the relationship okay?"

"Unfamiliar."

"Then is there still contact now?"

"No."

Zheng Wenrui suddenly giggled: "Liar."
