Unrequited Love

"Saturday, let’s drop the French guide. My uncle bought a bar in Houhai. It opened for me to take a look. I don’t really want to go, but I can go to Houhai by the way. Others gave me a lot of money the other day. Coupons, as well as the membership card of Xidan Ice Rink. By the way, there are also discount coupons for Wangfujing Leopards. I have already reserved a seat, so let’s go together."

Luo Zhi watched for a long time, then carefully replied: "Who is there?"

After a few minutes, she regretted a bit.

Fortunately, I did not regret it for too long.

"I only booked a seat for two people. Who do you have for everything? Who else do you want?!"

Again. Sheng Huainan's occasional arrogant and arrogant questioning always gave Luo Zhi a kind of ambiguous illusion.

She had never been to Houhai. Before going out on Saturday morning, she checked the map on the Internet and remembered the route of the bus and subway interchange. Just as she was about to go out, Belle suddenly sat upright from the bed.

"Wait, let me see what you are wearing?"

Beautiful hair that is slightly curled down to the waist, light gray casual shirt, V-neck beige sweater over the outside, hanging loosely to the legs, with wide-mouth soft boots that reach the knees.

"...Is it all right?" Luo Zhi tilted his head and asked earnestly and slightly shyly, forgetting that he once despised Belle's dress style. Looking at her nervous look, Jiang Baili couldn't help laughing.

"Protect yourself, I'm afraid he has no concentration."

Luo Zhi stayed for a while, turning into anger, climbing up the ladder in two steps and reaching out to lift Belle's quilt. The two laughed for a while, and Belle glanced at the alarm clock next to her pillow and said: "What time do you have an appointment? Go away, don't let people wait."

Luo Zhi jumped off the ladder and picked up the bag on the chair.

"It's really useful if you have a good foundation. Normally, it doesn't matter if you have noodles in clear soup. There is room for smearing at critical moments."

There was a bit of joking pretending to be bitter in his tone, but before the words fell, both of them thought of Chen Mohan.

Luo Zhi stopped talking, quietly walked outside to bring the door, and heard the vague sentence in the door lock "click":

"Luo Zhi, come on."

However, she opened the door of the dormitory to see Sheng Huainan with her hands in her pockets outside the door, and she suddenly lost her confidence.

Is it too grand? Why make it as if you are actually going on a date? Holding her hand on the cold doorknob, she remembered the arrogant laughter in Happy Valley not long ago and the sweetness in her heart when she was led by him, and felt that her outfit was extremely ridiculous. She seldom dresses up, and she doesn't make much makeup. Today, she matched it carefully. Although she didn't apply the powder, she was quite different from usual.

Even though she cared about her, when she was choosing clothes in the morning, her solemnity and anxiety was revealed, and there was no way she could tell herself to calm down. After all, she is just an ordinary girl.

She walked to him calmly, raised her eyes and smiled. Now that it has been like this, it is good to be a dream, it is also a youth anyway, she hasn't had the experience of dressing up and walking side by side with the person she likes like others.

Sheng Huainan always looked at ease and content, but at the moment he flushed slightly, his voice astringent and said, "It's pretty."

She was not humble, and smiled again, "I know."

He didn't tease her for speaking out. The more she laughed, his face reddened, and she cleared her throat and started a topic: "I have a gray shirt that looks like you. I knew I would wear that too. ..."

What is it? Luo Zhi was stunned, his ears were burning, and he lowered his head and said to him, "Let's go."

He grabbed her arm: "Where to go? Simon is here."

"but……"

"The closest to your dormitory is Ximen."

"But don't you want to go to the east gate by car?"

"Which door is different? Follow the master!"

Luo Zhi stopped arguing, and followed him wholeheartedly. He looked up and saw that his back was so close, as close as never before, and his nose was a little sore.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly turned around.

"Why do you always walk behind me?"

She didn't expect it to become a habit, and it is really not a good habit to follow behind in silence.

Sheng Huainan sighed awkwardly and slowed down a few steps until they were side by side.

Luo Zhi turned his face to his side and looked at his reddish face and bright eyes blatantly. He didn't know why he was very happy. He lowered his head and walked with extreme earnestness, as if every step he took, a flower would bloom under his feet.

After leaving the school gate, Sheng Huainan was indeed holding a taxi again. Luo Zhi sighed, there are many small differences between them, but behind these details is the fate of decades.

She tried to put all the desperate thoughts behind.

The first thing you saw when you got off the bus was an obtrusive tower. The mighty nature is true, but it is set off by the endless stream of taxis and buses on the gray streets. Its mighty and lofty looks a bit funny. Luo Zhi glanced twice, Sheng Huainan smiled: "Do you want to take a photo?"

Luo Zhi gave him a white look: "By the way, can I not go?"

Sheng Huainan thought for a while: "When you are nearby, you can find a bench to sit and wait for me. I will come out after a few words."

Luo Zhi sat on the bench and watched him leave. Her beautiful back made her curl her mouth and snickered. The wind in early winter is not cold, with small dust, not as refreshing as the autumn wind. The lake behind was unremarkable, and the bare wicker was drifting about lazily in the wind. She lay her upper body on her thighs, embracing her hands, her chin just against her knees. The recent time has always been chaotic, as if she was really dreaming, without thinking, without fear, without obstacles, she walked towards him so naturally.

However, faintly worried, the mirror flower water and moon, it seems that it really breaks with a prick.

When I opened my eyes, I happened to see his shoes. This person simply appeared specially to tell her that it was not a dream.

"So fast?"

"I said that I came with... my classmates, and they said there was nothing wrong with me and asked me to come back to find you. Anyway, it's pretty baffling for me to stay there. Who would go to the bar during the day?"

He carried a bottle of Coke in each of his left and right hands: "Pepsi is still delicious?"

"Delicious."

He handed Pepsi to her: "Don't you girls like to drink Pepsi more?"

She looked at him suspiciously, and Sheng Huainan turned his head a little guilty, as if regretting his failure.

Luo Zhi remembered Luoyang's first winter vacation after entering university, and invited her to eat McDonald's during the Chinese New Year when she returned home, and offered her Strawberry Xindi on her own terms, but she didn't expect she didn't like it.

"Don't you girls all like strawberries?"

"Have you gone to college to become a friend of women? Do you even know this consumer preference?"

Luoyang blushed and said, "Why, isn't it that Chen Jing likes..."

She smiled lucidly, and the girlfriend was all the girls.

Therefore, Sheng Huainan's embarrassment, she also understood in an instant. In the third year of high school, he and Ye Zhanyan were placed under high-pressure surveillance and rarely met. At that time, everyone in the class joked that Pepsi would replace the red beans as the representative of Acacia—Sheng Huainan asked someone to give Ye Zhanyan a bottle of Pepsi every day, and Ye Zhanyan generously hung a net bag by the table, which was full of people. It was the dark blue bottle cap, which was touched by the fellow students and swayed swagger.

Luo Zhi did not pierce through, and was bowing his head to screw the bottle cap, Sheng Huainan took it, unscrewed it, and stuffed it back to her.

She was ironed by this little thoughtfulness, and she said casually: "In fact, it might be because Pepsi is sweeter than delicious."

Although she would be saddened by these bottle caps in the girlhood of secret love, she has never been jealous or bitter because of the true feelings. Besides, it's all over.

She doesn't care, as long as he doesn't care.

It didn't take long to turn around the lake, and he was caught by a tricycle driver. The coachman first yelled that they would take one hundred yuan for the two of them and turn around. Luo Zhi said it was too expensive and ignored him. He babbled for a while, began to sing, and without leaving, he rode behind them slowly, singing one by one.

Luo Zhi felt feverish on his face, and when he looked sideways, Sheng Huainan was staring at her with a leisurely smile.

gloat.

"Twenty." She turned to the coachman.

"How can this be done, you are kidding! Add a little, fifty, the lowest." The driver also smiled hippiely.

"We only brought twenty, no money, you go quickly, don't delay pulling others." She has never been good at bargaining, she only hopes that he will leave quickly.

"Yo, girl, aren't you shameless your boyfriend? Bring twenty yuan to play in Houhai?"

"He's not afraid of chills!" Luo Zhi flushed and pulled Sheng Huainan's sleeves and walked forward, unexpectedly being pulled into his arms by Sheng Huainan. She froze in surprise, Sheng Huainan put his hands tightly around her shoulders naturally, and said with a loud laugh: "Get in the car, Miss, I'm still very afraid of shame."

Luo Zhi felt that his shoulders were hot, and he didn't know what to say, and walked forward as if he was being taken away by a cat.
