Chapter 95

Luo Zhi couldn't connect to Sheng Huainan's mobile phone, and the phone that called Zhang Mingrui was also turned off.

There were still 3 minutes before the start of the exam, Luo Zhi finally moved her pace with difficulty and walked towards the exam room.

What played back in his mind over and over again was Sheng Huainan's back just now, just like the calm and high-spirited posture in high school, just like that, walking past his bright red name on the big screen calmly.

The bell rang for the end of the exam.Luo Zhi came out of the examination room chaotically being crowded by the crowd, and immediately woke up, took out her mobile phone, thought for a while, and dialed Zhang Mingrui's number.

Hearing Luo Zhi's hoarse voice again after a few months, Zhang Mingrui's attitude remained the same.For her shock, he was only puzzled but said calmly: "I thought you knew already. Didn't he tell you?"

Luo Zhi asked anxiously: "What happened to him?"

"Luo Zhi, don't worry," Zhang Mingrui said softly, "Sheng Huainan is just unlucky, he... is actually trying to help others."

"What do you mean?"

"We took the English test in the same test room, that was yesterday morning. In the composition topic of the Intensive Reading 3 test this time, there is an obvious over-the-top vocabulary. Many people don't know it, but if you don't know this keyword, you can't write the composition. A brother who we often play together also takes this English test. I knew beforehand that he must be covered by Sheng Huainan, so when this happened, Sheng Huainan passed a note to him, but the old lady of the school's teaching affairs I was arrested. Originally, the note was found from that senior brother, but I don't know what happened, but he was the one who suffered in the end..."

Every word of Zhang Mingrui stuck into her head, she tried her best to control her emotions, and asked softly: "Sheng Huainan wouldn't do such a stupid thing, would he help others to cheat in exams before?"

"Impossible, he would never take a risk on this kind of thing, so we all felt that he was unbelievable yesterday. But now there is no way out, the punishment came very quickly, and it was already...announced at four o'clock yesterday. "

Luo Zhi tremblingly said: "I saw him take the elevator to go directly to your faculty office today."

"Maybe," Zhang Mingrui sighed. "I met him yesterday. He seemed calm and didn't talk much. We didn't know how to persuade him. We thought you... Well, in fact, if you are from this department Exams, our academic affairs caught them and should give them a few warnings, but the school’s academic affairs are different. By the way, you have also seen that group of teacher-level teachers who were very ruthless during the law-guiding examination. , After so many years of catching cheating, I have already developed an addiction..."

"Zhang Mingrui!"

"what?"

"If you see Sheng Huainan, can you tell him for me that I'm waiting for his call?"

Zhang Mingrui was silent for a long time, as if he wanted to ask what happened between the two of them, and finally said: "Okay, I will tell him."

"And..." Luo Zhi didn't even eat breakfast, she was a little dizzy at the moment due to her excitement, she sat slowly on the steps while holding on to the handrail of the stairs, her eyes shone like snowflakes on a TV screen.

"Also, can you tell me the phone number of that brother?"

Luo Zhi ran all the way to the east gate, and waited for 10 minutes under the scorching sun before getting a taxi.The car was speeding on the fourth ring road, and the high-rise buildings on both sides were all thrown behind and intertwined into a blurred net.It was as if a train, blowing up the wind, roared past in her mind.

There is no one in the villa, and the door is locked.

The wall of rose flowers in the back was as messy as a withered vine because no one took care of it.The sky darkened little by little, and after a while, it was a thick gray-blue, which evoked the most solemn emotions in people's hearts for no reason.

When Zhu Yan walked along the flower path, what she saw was Luo Zhi, who was sitting on the steps of her house under such a sky, with a tired but anxious expression.

It seems that the figure is extremely small.

"I called you, but I couldn't get through. I thought you had already gone to Singapore, but I still didn't give up. I wanted to come over and give it a try. I kept telling myself to wait another 10 minutes, but I have been waiting until now." She cheered up, Smiling and said to Zhu Yan.

"My mobile phone broke when I was arguing with the real estate agent this morning. If I didn't suddenly realize that something was left here, I might not have come here today... Fortunately, I came here," Zhu Yan felt a little embarrassed , "Your lips are dry, haven't you eaten or drank all day? What's wrong?"

Luo Zhi was still sitting on the steps, looking up at her, tears pouring down her face as she watched.

"Help him, okay?"

"Who?"

"Can you help him? I know it's selfish, and I also know that you don't want to get in touch with him and your former family members, and you don't want to get involved in the past, so I kept it in my heart and didn't ask you. I think I should respect You. But please forgive me this time, I know you are his aunt, can you help him? "

As soon as Ye Zhanyanfu told her the story of his father fleeing from his schizophrenic mother and going to Beijing to deceive female students of the Academy of Fine Arts, Luo Zhi connected it with the past that Zhu Yan himself had told.

She guessed that Zhu Yan knew who Sheng Huainan was for a long time, but never asked to meet each other. It must be because she was not interested in bringing up the past and didn't want to have anything to do with her family.She also mentioned it a few times, whether Yuyuantan or Happy Valley, Zhu Yan's refusal has already expressed her attitude, and she knows it well.

But now, she has no other choice.

"There was an accident in his family, and now this kind of thing is happening again. It's not that I pity him, but he is indeed too young, and it is difficult to get over it no matter how good he is. I don't want him to know, so I can only come here and tell you secretly Zhu Yan, don't be angry with me, can you tell me what should I do?"

She cried hoarsely, her voice was trembling uncontrollably, trying hard to speak out every word calmly, but no matter what she couldn't hide her strong nasal voice and weak crying.

After getting that senior's phone number, she immediately called her, said all the good things, and repeatedly promised not to cause trouble, the senior who insisted on asking Sheng Huainan to help him cheat reluctantly ignored her.

When the other party told her about her family background, Luo Zhi finally understood why this person was not punished for the same cheating.Similarly, Sheng Huainan's reasons for helping him were so obvious.

"My dad might be able to help if he wants to. At least, Sheng Huainan's mother is safe and doesn't need to go in."

The senior brother said vaguely, with a slight apology in his tone.

"I didn't expect such an accident to happen, it's all because of my carelessness..."

Zhu Yan listened quietly to Luo Zhi's words, and patted her on the back, as if coaxing a six-year-old child.Luo Zhi cried without image, and finally calmed down a little, and suddenly felt that her throat was so sore that she couldn't speak.

"What a fool."

"No, Zhu Yan, you know that," Luo Zhi shook her head, "Most of us in this generation didn't take other paths. We were cautious on the way of growing up, not daring to make a mistake, studying and getting a degree is almost the main path. All the other branches - good job, higher degree, stable life, social status, sense of fulfillment, even marriage, branch off from this main road. It means the opportunity to choose the path of life. But now, He still has the ability, but he has no chance to choose. He is burdened with so many things now, but I have no ability to help him, not to mention, you know, we should be enemies in the first place."

"fool."

"Zhu Yan, I'm not asking you to clear up the relationship so that he can get his degree certificate back. I know this possibility is very slim, but can you help him through this hurdle? Maybe you have more convenient conditions and can get him back. Take him abroad for development. For example, how about re-applying for school? It’s fine to go directly to the United States to study as an undergraduate, anyway, he’s going to go out anyway...or...I don’t know.” Luo Zhi shook her head painfully.

From the very beginning, she was very verbose and incoherent, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Although I don't know all your later experiences, I know it must not be easy. You have encountered very painful setbacks, and you have come to today step by step. I think your existence will definitely make him understand, not only in reality In the process, it is even more necessary to overcome this difficulty psychologically, which is the most important reason why I came to you."

Luo Zhi tried her best to hold back her tears, wiped her face, and continued in a deep voice.

"Because, I always believe in him. He is Sheng Huainan, and his future will not die here. Certainly not."

Zhu Yan sat side by side with her on the steps under the flower wall, gently embracing her shoulders, listening to her talking incoherently about the importance of degree certificates, while emphasizing that Sheng Huainan's excellence will never be shackled by this piece of paper On the other hand, he is very realistically worried about how hard it is to be ruined after years of hard study, and how hard it will be to move forward in the future.

Zhu Yan just said "fool" for a while, coaxing her to calm down.

"Actually, I expected that you would guess it one day. It's really fate. The two girlfriends he made were both related to me," Zhu Yan laughed as she spoke, "I remember it for a long time. In the past, my sister-in-law was sarcastic, saying that it’s okay to make troubles in the house by myself, and the enemies I caused almost got entangled with my promising little nephew.

"I've been thinking, if you talk about relatives in his family, why would you always turn to the topic of aunt? How would you face me at that time? But I am willing to make friends with you because I trust you. "

Luo Zhi didn't know this.Zhu Yan still treats her frankly and never evades, so she naturally cherishes him very much.If it weren't for what happened to Sheng Huainan at the moment, she might have buried this connection in her heart forever.

"Actually, I don't have any feelings for my nephew," Zhu Yan continued calmly, "When he was young, he lived in the urban area with my brother, sister-in-law and his grandfather's family. My father and I still Lives in the country. But he and my father are quite close."

Luo Zhi said in a hoarse voice: "When your father was dying, he told me that his grandfather is a very interesting old man, and he hoped that I could meet him too."

Zhu Yan nodded: "Yes, my dad is an old naughty boy. I was immersed in my studies in the high school in the town, and basically rarely played with children. He was only four or five years old when I left home to go to college. ? It's a pity that I can't even remember what he looked like when he was a child, he is a very good boy, very likable."

Zhu Yan paused, then turned around and looked at Luo Zhi with a smile: "By the way, you know best what he looked like when he was five or six years old. You even fought with him."

Luo Zhi laughed through tears.

As for my brother and sister-in-law, let alone.My dad used to be a scholar, and his background was not good. He didn't catch up with the good times all his life, and when he was old, he could stay in the countryside and enjoy himself. But my brother is not a peaceful person.

"We are too far apart in age, and we don't have a deep relationship. My sister-in-law's family has a very strong background. He also relied on this relationship and his own pursuit to make it to today step by step. After I severed ties with them, oh, my You probably know the things, but I really don’t care about the development of the couple later, and I don’t know how they got to where they are today. Anyway, both of them are cruel and greedy people. For this sake, it’s not surprising .”

"Then your father..."

"How do you say that sentence? The ten fingers are still uneven. After all, my father is still more worried about my brother. After dropping out of school, I started to make a living with the help of Shiwen. When the financial conditions improved, I often Send money to my dad. My dad told me to go home, but my brother called me at the phone number I left for my dad, and told me to be a man with a sense of shame.”

Luo Zhi froze for a moment, then squeezed Zhu Yan's hand with some anxiety.

"What a little girl." She pinched Luo Zhi's ears in turn, "After all these years, I've grown old, and the things from that year have long faded away, I just talked about it, and I don't feel uncomfortable.

"I will still remit money to my old father as usual. It's my duty as a child. Unfortunately, I didn't attend his funeral. Hearing what you say now, I probably know it. I must be in a hurry, because of my brother's affairs. .My brother will be here today, probably because my father-in-law is dying of illness, and I can't count on him."

Zhu Yan sighed, and suddenly asked her, "Excuse me, can I have a cigarette?"

Luo Zhi opened her mouth in surprise: "Why do you all smoke? I just discovered recently that so many people who I thought were non-smokers..."

"Relieve thousands of worries, you also try?"

Zhu Yan carried an aura that Luo Zhi thought she could never possess in this lifetime.She lowered her head and lit a cigarette freely, and when she held the fire with her hands in the wind, the warm orange fire light illuminated her face, and a lock of broken hair hung down, swaying with the breeze.

"However," she exhaled slowly, "I feel sorry for Sheng Huainan at most when I hear you say this. I don't hold grudges, but I really don't have any feelings. It's no different from hearing the news broadcast. I guess you haven't heard of it." The feeling of shock when his house collapsed. What made me saddened the most was not the liar and scum, nor the inhumanity of the world, but the fact that I finally understood that the relationship between flesh and blood, to put it bluntly, is just that.”

Zhu Yan pondered for a while, then smiled: "Actually, now that I think about it, the relationship between my brother and sister-in-law is so tense, and they are so friendly in front of others, and they can smash the house to pieces behind their backs. How did this kid grow up?"

Luo Zhi sniffed: "Didn't you feel emotional before, saying that he finally grew up safely. At that time, I didn't know what you meant."

"You haven't told mom yet that your boyfriend is Sheng Huainan?"

"I'm afraid she'll collapse." Luo Zhi smiled wryly.

"But you still like him."

"Yes. You are also that person's sister, and I like you very much. I don't know if others will think that I am rebellious and wolf-hearted, but that is what I am, and I don't care about blood relationship. You are yourself, and Sheng Huainan is also himself , It wasn’t you who did the evil back then, and the evildoer himself was punished, although it was a bit late, it’s better than nothing.”

Luo Zhi stood up, smiled at Zhu Yan, she was completely different from the girl who broke down and cried just now, and said firmly: "I have always thought clearly, you are right. I have already made my own s Choice."

"Okay, let's not mention Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, what's the point of talking about it," Zhu Yan blinked, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat, you're going to starve to death."

"That……"

"I promise you," Zhu Yan said solemnly, "I will do my best to help him."

Luo Zhi smiled happily, but the tears were drying on her face just now, and she couldn't smile at all.

"But Luo Zhi," Zhu Yan added, "You have to know that life is much more complicated than in school. I'm not sure that Sheng Huainan thinks the same as you do. If he messes up, he might even Blame your mother for writing the report and for helping his father go to jail."

Luo Zhi lowered her head and thought for a while: "No. Based on what I know about Sheng Huainan, he wouldn't think so."

"So sure?"

"Correct."

Luo Zhi's back was facing the direction of the wind, her long hair seemed to be carried all the way to the long past by the evening wind.

Zhu Yan's face was a little moved.

"Then what if he doesn't blame you, but because of guilt, shame, or other reasons, he doesn't want to see you again?"

Luo Zhi was still in a daze, Zhu Yan continued: "Even if these two hypotheses are not true, if I really help him go overseas to re-study, you must know that time, circumstances, and other uncontrollable factors will make him You will never have a chance to be together. You young people have faith because you don’t know how scary the outside is and how small you are. I helped him, and you may really be over."

"It's okay." Luo Zhi replied very simply.

"I didn't come to you to be with him. I was just for him."

This answer was written when they were glued together.Luo Zhi also answered Sheng Huainan straightforwardly.

Compared with all of you betraying relatives and living together with me, I hope that you will be blessed with everything you need, and be loved by the whole world, even if you forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
