Unrequited Love

Chapter 12: ?Empty joy

The child was sweating profusely and Luo Zhi received the call.

"It's about to enter the entrance of the platform, come here."

She took their hands and suddenly wanted to say: "Go, let's go find Dad."

This thought surprised her herself. However, she had never been so bold and passionate in her life, the sweetness almost overwhelmed her.

When they arrived in a hurry, Sheng Huainan raised his head and gestured to them.

After entering the door, there was a line under the platform for more than 20 minutes. Tiffany and Jake got together and whispered. Luo Zhi was very excited to talk to Sheng Huainan about the various experiences in the playground that day.

"The ticket inspector didn't know that I was queuing with my children. When I was about to pass, he stretched out his hand and said directly to me:'Sister, don't tell me you have to sit on the little frog. You can sit on it. If you can't be happy, you can't jump up.'..."

She didn't know why she said so much, as if she couldn't stop the brakes. But seeing him smiling happily, she wanted to continue talking. Sheng Huainan is very tall, Luo Zhi is no longer short among girls, but still has to look up at him slightly, his neck is a little sore, and the team is still moving unhurriedly.

Finally she had nothing to say, she let out a sigh of relief, and smiled at him a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm talking endlessly."

Sheng Huainan thoughtfully took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag and handed it to her: "Drink my water if you don't mind, are you thirsty?"

She didn't know whether to play the high-altitude relay without touching the bottle mouth, or to drink directly, the hand holding the bottle body was slightly harder, and the plastic collapsed in and rattled.

Regardless of three seven twenty one, she drank it straight away.

When it was returned to Sheng Huainan, she found that Sheng Huainan also blushed suspiciously.

"I like to hear you talk. You are more lively than usual today, and your words are less irritating." He said, reaching out and rubbing her hair.

Time seems to freeze. She stared at him in astonishment, and he dodged his eyes and said, "I'm going upstairs soon."

They finally went up the stairs to the high platform. Every time the turntable of the Sun God car swooped down from high altitude, it would pass by less than fifteen meters in front of them, bringing a violent wind, screaming from near to far, and then closer and farther away-Luo Zhi felt it Tiffany's little hands are covered with sweat.

Luo Zhi bent down and asked in a low voice, "Should we stop sitting, let the two of them play by themselves."

However, Tiffany trembled and said, "No, I will sit if my brother sits."

She hugged Tiffany tightly and said, "Okay, we are not afraid."

On the contrary, Jake was much gentler. Luo Zhi could see that he was also quite frightened, but he still forcedly said to his sister, "You don't need to accompany me, you won't sit if you don't."

"Brother is scared."

"Who said I was scared?!"

Luo Zhi was smiling while watching them quarrel, and suddenly heard Sheng Huainan say: "Are you afraid? If..."

"I will sit on this every time I come to play."

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.

The turntable galloped down again, and the wind blew Luo Zhi's hair onto Sheng Huainan's face.

Sheng Huainan saw that Luo Zhi suddenly stretched out his hand and squeezed Jake's arm.

"It hurts! What are you doing!"

Luo Zhi stuck out his tongue: "Does it hurt? It seems I am not dreaming."

Then she lowered her head and smiled so vividly.

"It's really not a dream."

The four people sat in a row, and the staff put the safety facilities on them and buckled them.

The bell rang.

"Really not afraid?"

Luo Zhi's shoulders were fixed too tightly, she reluctantly turned her head and saw Sheng Huainan's smirking side face.

"Actually...it's a bit nervous." She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

The moment the machine started, her left hand was suddenly covered with warmth.

She shook her hand slightly, but did not hesitate. At the moment she flew to the sky, she clasped his hand with her backhand and held it firmly.

The screams of Tiffany and Jake pierced Luo Zhi's composure face. She called with them.

She is not afraid. She was just happy and didn't know how to express it.

Is it a dream? Will it be faster? This idea passed by in a flash, let him go.

Luo Zhi didn't seem to feel as happy as he is now in his life, and his heart is soft and comfortable. The turntable threw her high into the blue sky, and opened her eyes to see that the towering rockery and vast artificial lake of Happy Valley were hanging upside down in the air, and she really flew.

The Sun God car completely ignited the enthusiasm of the two children. They ran to take the roller coaster again. When the suspended car rolled over the mountains, the four people straightened their right arms to imitate Uncle Superman. Trojan horses, bumper cars, Odyssey trips... Luo Zhi found that he hadn't smiled like that in a long time. She and Sheng Huainan each drove a bumper car to chase and kill the two children in the same car, but accidentally ran into each other head-on; they sat in the first row on the enhanced version of "Rapid Current", from the second When the 16-meter high platform rushed down, screamed and drenched. The passengers in the back row lost their glasses, so the people in the boat looked down for the black-rimmed glasses, and did not notice that the people on the bridge above were carrying them. Pour water at them with a basin...

The four of them were so tired that they couldn't speak. They sat on the bench and ate intently while holding a cone ice cream, and their clothes were wet and sticking to their bodies. As soon as the wind passed, Luo Zhi had a few chills, but the sunset was warm on his back, the contrast was too strong.

She suddenly felt the phone vibrating in her bag. In order to prevent water from entering, the mobile phones of the four people were all in the mezzanine of Luozhi schoolbag. Luo Zhi found the black mobile phone that was vibrating, and accidentally saw a clear line of words on the screen.

"A new message comes from Zhanyan."

She handed the phone over and said, "It seems that your phone vibrated just now."

Sheng Huainan took it with a smile, glanced at the screen, and frowned quickly.

As if feeling she was watching him, Sheng Huainan moved his gaze from the text message to Luo Zhi's face: "What's wrong?"

Luo Zhi shook his head, smiled, turned around and sat, facing the brilliant sunset. Tiffany just took advantage of the trend and leaned his head into her arms.

"Is it cold?" Luo Zhi asked, "Let's go back after eating the ice cream. Don't catch a cold and take a hot bath at home."

"I don't want to go back anymore." Jake also came to join in the fun. "It's fine to always be so happy. Usually it's always boring."

You don't know how happy you are. Luo Zhi lowered his head and looked at the two tired but still unfulfilled children.

"The most exciting part of the Odyssey trip just now was the few seconds that we rushed down from the heights. We lined up so long before, and then we had to sit here shivering and hanging clothes, just for those few seconds. Scream well. That’s why I’m usually a little boring, and I’ll be happy today. I’m bored most of my life."

Sheng Huainan glanced at her quickly.

Luo Zhi stood up and said, "Alright, are you finished? Let's go."

Driver Chen answered the phone and pointed out the location.

"Let's go together, you won't be able to get a taxi at the gate of Happy Valley at this time." Luo Zhi lowered his head and said.

"Trouble you." His tone was a little absent-minded, Luo Zhi raised his head to see him still staring at the phone blankly.

Luo Zhi's back stiffened, then slowly relaxed.

"No thanks," she said.

There were two children between them, standing far away, as if the hands clenched when they were just swung into the air did not grow on them.

Everyone in the car was silent, and the two children leaned close together and fell into Luo Zhi's arms, sleeping soundly. Sheng Huainan in the passenger seat left only half of Luo Zhi's face. She looked at the flying buildings outside the window, and her wet clothes made her shiver again. She could hear Sheng Huainan's cell phone vibrating from time to time, and when he responded to the text message, he made a slight key press, and her ears were slightly itchy.

Later, Sheng Huainan silently sent Luo Zhi back to the dormitory. The atmosphere between people seems to be the most fragile thing in the world, and it will be deformed when pulled lightly.

"I am very happy today, thank you for helping me so much." Luo Zhi said politely.

"See you. I like those two kids very much."

"By the way, what did Jake say to you?"

"It's nothing, I just said awkwardly that my mother doesn't think he is manly. I think he seems to be hesitant to say something inconvenient. After all, he doesn't know me, the child still knows well.

"Oh. They also like you very much."

There was another few minutes of silence.

"By the way, I have to apologize to you for what happened last time. Are you disgusted?" Sheng Huainan said suddenly.

"what?"

"Zhang Mingrui told me everything. He likes you very much."

Luo Zhi felt a little in his heart, and did not speak for a few seconds.

"He likes me, why do you apologize?" she said slowly.

In just a few minutes, the smiling and undefended sister Juno in the playground slowly cooled down and turned into Luo Zhi.

"...No, he said it was like a good friend, and he said that I was a matchmaker, which would definitely make you unhappy."

"Oh." She paused. "No, I'm glad to meet him too."

"That's good."

"But the matchmaking matter is forgotten."

"Oh."

She felt her mobile phone vibrate, took it out, and saw the new message received on the screen.

Ding Shuijing's text message—

"You are always like this, Luo Zhi, you always despise the life of others who think they are running a lively and rich life."

Once, such a complicated and hypocritical sentence could have been sent by Ding Shuijing using a calculus paper-now it is finally over.

It's all over. The friendship between fake and real, and the playground is like a sunset that never sets.

When Luo Zhi was about to enter the building, Sheng Huainan suddenly said to her in a somewhat hesitant tone: "Luo Zhi, I think we seem to be good friends."

She suddenly understood why those women who were deceived by men were always hysterically shouting "How did you treat me at the beginning", and tried to ask for fairness without real meaning-because she wanted to ask, then you were playing Why is the field holding my hand?

She straightened her back, turned her face and said with a smile, "Really?"

"Really...you are indeed a very good girl." His smile was very polite, but his tone was hesitant, as if he didn't know how to use words to not hurt her. There was a condescending guilt and pity in his eyes, which made her feel dazzling.

"I know I'm fine." She laughed.

Good enough to be qualified to be held by you, but not good enough to keep you held.

Sheng Huainan was stunned, frozen there, not knowing what to say.

"Thank you anyway." Luo Zhi finished speaking and swiped his card to enter.

Thank you for giving me a big basket of joy.
