Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 91 Everyone Will Say Goodbye

On the day Sheng Huainan finished his GRE exam, he learned of the death of his grandfather, who was also critically ill and was being rescued.

The test center is located in a university far away from P University.Luo Zhi was waiting outside the building. The weather in June was already a bit hot. Before the exam was almost over, she ran to the nearby canteen to buy a bottle of iced mineral water, wrapped it with her own towel, and planned to give it to him as soon as he came out. .

When Sheng Huainan came out with the crowd, his expression was flat, without a hint of a smile, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Luo Zhi.

"Why are you here? What are you running around on a hot day?"

"Here you are!" She smiled sweetly, "There is an air conditioner in the examination room, and it will be unbearable once you come out, so hold it for a while to cool down."

He pulled her over, kissed her forehead lightly, and walked across the campus to the gate together.

"How was the test?"

"good."

Sheng Huainan never pretended to be modest, Luo Zhi smiled and squeezed his palm.

"I booked a flight home tomorrow. It may take a few days before I come back. After attending grandpa's funeral, I will also be with my parents. They are not very good."

Luo Zhi moved her lips, not knowing what to say.

"So, please leave all the professional courses to the brothers in the courtyard. I prepared a leave note for the physical education class, and you cover me for the other electives." He deliberately said in a relaxed tone, lest she worry.

Luo Zhi nodded: "Of course, I'm very reliable. The homework must be higher than your own scores."

"Who told us to take elective courses like Western art history? If you choose an introduction to earthquakes, try to see who gets the highest score." Sheng Huainan snorted dissatisfied.

Luo Zhi laughed.

She gently shook off his hand, wiped the sweat from her palm with a wet towel, then raised her head to look at the lush branches and leaves above her head.The green night sky was full of sunny stars, casting mottled shadows on her face.

They walked slowly all the way, no one spoke for a long time, the air was very quiet and gentle.

"Ye Zhanyan called me the day before yesterday. I forgot to tell you. She went to study in Paris and said goodbye to me before boarding the plane." Sheng Huainan said suddenly.

She nodded.

"I didn't even say a word to her," he added.

Luo Zhi smiled: "I'm not jealous. She hasn't contacted you for half a year, and she may not have any thoughts about you."

"It won't be like that again in the future." Sheng Huainan said softly.

"How?"

"Anything that happens, I'll tell you. Let's talk it out and there will be no more misunderstandings."

Luo Zhi pursed her lips, feeling moved.

"Okay. It's done."

Luo Zhi sent Sheng Huainan out of the campus on Monday morning, and watched him get in a taxi and disappear into the traffic under the traffic lights.The fog was so thick that she couldn't even see the nearest intersection clearly, and there was a blur of red taillights in between, little by little, like the eyes of a beast hidden in the depths of the fog.

In the afternoon, she went to the villa to meet Zhu Yan, who brought her the definite news that she was going to move out of Beijing.

Ever since the two Filipino maids disappeared, Luo Zhi had been vaguely prepared psychologically, until she accompanied her to pack and tidy up, and heard her say that she was finally going to marry to the other side of the ocean.It wasn't a long process, but Luo Zhi gradually got used to it, and she no longer felt panic in her heart.

The living room is filled with various tape-sealed cardboard boxes.Luo Zhi suddenly couldn't remember what she looked like when she walked in here for the first time.The conspicuous grand piano must have been sold, she thought.

Tiffany and Jake hugged her tearfully and cried, Luo Zhi endured the soreness on the tip of her nose, patted their backs, raised her head, and smiled slightly at Zhu Yan who was standing in the entrance.

Tears fell at this moment.

"When will you move out completely?"

"The two of them will go there first next week. I have to deal with the real estate issue here, and I'm afraid I will stay until the end of July."

Luo Zhi nodded: "Go ahead. Take care."

Thousands of words were stuffed in his chest.

"In fact, this is very good. Before I left, I saw that everything has become so good for you. It is completely different from more than a year ago. You are confident and gentle, not guarded or depressed. How good, I have a feeling The joy of seeing my daughter grow up."

Luo Zhi smiled through tears: "Why do you still speak so strangely?"

Zhu Yan still made a cup of tea for her as usual: "Sorry, it's still Pu'er, let's make do with it."

"You can only make do with such delicious tea at your place."

"You don't drink tea in other places, there is no comparison, where does it taste good?"

"I don't need men who have been married all over the world to compare Sheng Huainan..." Luo Zhi stopped her mouth and almost bit her tongue.

Zhu Yan smiled, her brows and eyes were warm, and she looked like a college girl in a trance.

"Well, I believe that."

Being teased by her, Luo Zhi's eyes flickered, she stood up and said, "I'll go and accompany the two of them."

The two children still pester her for stories.The books on the bookshelf have been almost emptied, and the plastic case of the conspicuous "Barbie Doll" movie DVD that was placed here back then often reflected the afternoon sun, and the light spots fell on Luo Zhi's face by the desk, and she was used to it That temperature is suddenly gone now, so naturally I am very disappointed.

Luo Zhi picked up a copy of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" with an old cover, knowing that these two children who only liked pretty things probably didn't plan to want this book.

She was sitting on a small single sofa, and the two children leaned next to each other, sitting side by side on the carpet.The setting sun cast a brilliant light on the ground through the stained glass, Luo Zhi concentrated on chanting every single word, like a witch walking in a story.

"Once upon a time, there was a king."

A king met a nightingale, and later he lost it.

The fairy tale is over.

But Tiffany couldn't understand it. The nightingale's story puzzled her: "Why didn't the bird let the king tell others that it sang for him?"

"Some things are better left unsaid."

The little girl's little head was crooked: "I prefer to say everything."

Luo Zhi pulled her ponytail, looked at this little girl who would eventually grow up to have a secret in her heart, and said softly: "Well, that's indeed better."

There is no unspeakable sadness and care, that is indeed better.

After dinner, Zhu Yan settled her salary for the last month, and drove her to the subway station in person.

"I'm sorry, the driver has resigned. I don't know much about the way back to your school. I have never tried navigation. You know, this is the virtue of a female driver."

Luo Zhi smiled: "If you dare to drive, I may not dare to sit."

On a dark cloudy night, the pale energy-saving lamps at the entrance of the subway try their best to play the moonlight.Luo Zhi hugged Zhu Yan, smelling the rose fragrance in her hair, her heart also settled down.

"Take care of yourself, don't work too hard."

"I know."

"Then I'll go."

"... Luo Zhi!"

She stopped, seeing Zhu Yan's gentle motherly smile, her nose turned sore for a moment.

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but I think you have made a choice long ago. I know that you think you are using one problem to cover another problem, and you still have to face it in the end. I don't know At a loss, but..."

Zhu Yan paused, and said firmly: "But, you like him. This is already the answer to this choice. You have already answered this question in your first year of high school."

Luo Zhi seemed to have collapsed, trotted a few steps back to her, and cried in her arms.

Zhu Yan patted her on the back and said softly, "You are the bravest girl I have ever seen."

"I'm gone. Last few days, if there's anything I can do to help, just call me."

She wiped away her tears, waved her hands, and strode towards the subway station. Zhu Yan's voice was carried by the wind from behind.

"Luo Zhi, be happy."

There was still Zhu Yan's unique banter in her voice, Luo Zhi seemed to be able to see her somewhat unscrupulous smile when she closed her eyes, teasing her wickedly.

"You are disgusting!"

Maybe I will never meet someone again, who listens so tenderly and kindly, and helps that girl who has been indulging in her teenage dreams grow up.

She didn't look back.

Before going to bed at night, Luo Zhi called Sheng Huainan, wanting to inquire about the situation there, but he turned off the phone unexpectedly.

She could only send a text message to say hello.

The signal in the dormitory has become worse and worse in the past few months, and the simple "Are you okay?" can't be sent out for a long time.

Luo Zhi sat by the bed, silently staring at the signal at the top of the phone screen, which decreased from four vertical bars all the way to a short dot.

How many relationships between people in the world are maintained by such fragile and uncontrollable signals?

If you don't go online, don't turn on the phone, how many missed people will be drowned in the sea of ​​people like this?
A sudden panic crept up her back.Luo Zhi could only climb onto the bed, keep the phone turned on, and put it next to the pillow. Whenever she was about to fall into a drowsy sleep, she would suddenly wake up, reach out and press the screen, staring at a blank place, waiting for a delay Not coming envelope icon.

At this moment, Jiang Baili opened the door and came in, dropped her phone and climbed up the ladder.

This scene seems to have not appeared for a long time.Every night in the past, Jiang Baili would rush into the dormitory angrily after arguing with Gobi, and pounce on the upper bunk to torture her mobile phone.

As if going back in time, Luo Zhi suddenly opened her eyes wide.

It seems that Jiang Baili never broke up with Gobi.

It seems that Luo Zhi has never been with Sheng Huainan.

"Belle? What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Baili cried until her voice became hoarse: "It's nothing, Chen Mohan is just looking for trouble for me."

Luo Zhi turned over: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

There was no news from Sheng Huainan for a whole week. Luo Zhi had received a message from Zhang Mingrui, saying that he hadn't seen him for a week, and it was almost the end of the period. Will he be okay?

She couldn't reply to Zhang Mingrui, she couldn't say "I don't know".

Luo Zhi's whole body was in a daze, without worry or sadness, as if all emotions had gone on strike.

When the weekend was approaching, Luo Zhi received a call from her mother, saying that Aunt Fu came to Beijing alone to see her son, and she lived near the hotel where his son worked at Dongzhimen.Luo Zhi's mother asked the other party to bring some things, and asked Luo Zhi to come over on Saturday.

She wrote down the address and phone number and agreed to come down.

"Lolo, how are you and your little boyfriend recently...?"

There was joy in the voice, and it was tentative, cautious, and I don't know why.

Luo Zhi laughed: "It's pretty good."

She thought that her voice should sound clear.

"Where are you and Uncle Chen?"

Luo Zhi's mother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Nonsense!"

She didn't force her to ask any questions, she just smiled and waited for an answer.After a few seconds, my mother suddenly said softly: "Actually, I planned to talk to you in two days."

"Are you going to get married?"

"We both feel that things here are almost... come to an end, so we plan to pick a convenient day next month to get the certificate. But his registered permanent residence is not here, but in his hometown of Guangxi. In fact, he has been with him recently. Let me mention such a thing, his family is over there, and two brothers jointly opened a small shipyard. He came here because of family affairs, and now he wants to go back. So I decided with me, should we go there together? , to work in my own factory..."

Luo Zhi listened carefully at first, but gradually began to lose her mind.A beautiful big magpie landed on the ginkgo tree outside the window, hopping along the branches, approaching her.

She walked over holding the phone, the signal began to become stronger and weaker, and her mother's voice seemed so far away intermittently.

She smiled and looked at the beautiful dark blue bird.

It turned out to be a good news.She stretched out her hand, and the magpie was not startled, but looked at her with its head tilted from a distance.

"Lolo? What do you think? I discussed it with your second uncle for a long time, and I still think that when you graduate from university..."

"Mom!" she interrupted, telling her with absolute certainty, "Go."

Her mother burst into tears on the other end of the phone.

On Saturday morning, Luo Zhi was still woken up by Jiang Baili's phone ringing.She got off the bed, went to the table to pick up the water glass, and looked up to see Jiang Baili sitting on the upper bunk excitedly answering the phone. The ponytail she had tied the night before was completely curled up after a night of sleep. She looked Much like the magpies that came here yesterday.

"Okay, then you can pick me up, how about 10:30?"

Jiang Baili hung up the phone and came down, happily grabbed the facial cleanser and toothbrush and rushed to the bathroom.

"Uncle Gu wants to take me to the spicy temptation at Dongzhimen to cheer for the final exam!"

Jiang Baili is like a goddess of infinite regeneration. The night before because of Gobi and Chen Mohan's entanglement, she cried until her eyes were swollen. This morning, she was as happy as a six-year-old child because of a meal.

Luo Zhi only admits defeat at this moment, she is indeed not as good as her.

"You resurrected in place again?"

Jiang Baili just opened the door, and when she heard this, she turned her head, her eyes were as bright as if she lived in the whole Milky Way.

"I cried all last night, and now I finally figured it out. I decided to completely forget about Gobi and start a new life!" After a pause, he added, "Of course I can't forget it all at once, but I decided to be brave. Go after Uncle Gu!"

Luo Zhi nodded and laughed: "Well, let's go."

She said go to Belle, go to her mother, go to Zhu Yan.

I was the only one standing there, looking at each other with a magpie with its head tilted, watching them stride forward, leaving her who was guarding a cell phone that would not ring.

Maybe she is the bird who came all the way to announce the good news.

"By the way, you are going to Dongzhimen, right? Take me with you, I happen to be going there too today."
