Unrequited Love

Chapter 52: Balance beam

Luo Zhi couldn't tell if the tears were caused by pain or something else. In the next second, she was pulled into her arms by him, her cheeks pressed against the tie, her silky touch was not warm, even colder than her own tears. He embraced her back with the arm that was holding the coat, while pressing the other hand behind her head, gently hugging her as if he was smoothing a small animal.

"I'm sorry."

His voice came from above, Luo Zhi suddenly woke up, and couldn't get away after trying hard to get rid of a few times.

"I used to think that your view of right and wrong is very special, and always apologize for strange things. Unexpectedly, the way you apologize is more special."

He did not answer her cynicism, let go of her gently, but grabbed her by the wrist.

"Don't get cold, go in and talk." He couldn't help her resist, and he led her into the door forcibly.

Luo Zhi kept bowing his head and walking behind him in silence, gaining countless "Oh my God! You..." along the way. What kind of expression Sheng Huainan used to face his surprised and gossiping classmates, she didn't want to know at all, she just lowered her head and tried to make her long hair cover her face more.

However, the scene of the meeting made her temporarily forget her situation.

The table was overturned. Most people crowded in the buffet area and whispered, and only the girl in red was standing at the messy table. Sheng Huainan turned around and asked a small officer at the door what had happened.

"Senior, you don't know, I was really scared to death just now. We were playing jelly puzzles here, and suddenly heard a loud noise, and the plates and bowls broke to the ground. Everyone was stunned, and then..." He stroked his chest and panted, and was suddenly interrupted by the boy next to him: "It's Minister Gobi's girlfriend and Senior Sister Liu Jing who quarreled. Senior Sister Liu Jing lifted the table."

Luo Zhi gave the boy a grateful look.

Sheng Huainan squeezed her hand vigorously and said, "You are not allowed to run, wait for me."

After he finished speaking, he walked quickly into the crowd, still clutching Luo Zhi's coat tightly, like a key hostage.

Luo Zhi confessed his fate and leaned against the wall waiting to watch the show, his attention gradually attracted by the whispers of the people around him. The insulting girl whispered to the person next to her, "Hey, isn't it because the league committee teachers have all left and no one came out to fight?"

Luo Zhi saw Sheng Huainan and three boys and two girls walking into the "storm zone". The girls ran to appease the red girl named Liu Jing, while the other boys drunk the Gobi on the chair. Sheng Huainan patted Chen Mohan on the shoulder and signaled her to leave here. Luo Zhi only noticed that Chen Mohan's little dress had a clear brownish-red stain on it. I wonder if it was spilled on red wine.

Chen Mohan burst into tears and jumped up aggrievedly into Sheng Huainan's arms. Sheng Huainan was taken aback, took a step back, and then quickly turned his head to look at Luo Zhi, his eyes filled with confusion for the first time.

Luo Zhi originally opened his mouth in surprise, but when he saw him looking in his direction in a panic, he threw out a scream of music instead. She increased her smile and looked directly at Sheng Huainan who was embarrassed.

Hahaha—this is her evaluation of everything tonight.

Sheng Huainan spread out and raised his hands, as if trying to prove to the referee that he had no small movements in a basketball game, Luo Zhi's jacket slowly slipped into his arms. When Chen Mohan just threw himself into his arms, his hand accidentally touched the bare skin on her back, which made his scalp numb. He froze in place and passively smelled the perfume she brought. Luo Zhi's is smiling happily.

Sheng Huainan frowned, and said softly, "Um, classmate, calm down. There are so many people here, you certainly don't want to embarrass yourself and Gobi."

Chen Mohan's shoulders froze with crying, and then slowly withdrew from his arms. She gently shielded her eyes with her hands, making the appearance of wiping tears. However, Sheng Huainan could clearly see through her mascara that she did not cry at all.

At this time, he heard a chuckle, and the chairman of the student union had already stood aside with his mouth crooked and grinning.

Sheng Huainan finally couldn't see it. He walked into the crowd and said to the chairman: "What do you think? No matter what, it won't sound good to spread out." The chairman lazily said to him like a sleepwalker waking up: "Find a few people. , Quickly get me away Liu Jing, Gobi and his fairy girlfriend!"

The other officers around also moved around to clean up the mess. The chairman smiled and said loudly, "It's not too early. Let's come here for today's New Year's Eve. All the people in the arts department will stay, collect things and settle the accounts. The other students should go back and rest early, everyone. Happy."

The crowd who had just built a embankment and kept a distance from the scene of the incident instantly disintegrated, and Luo Zhi's sight was blocked by chaotic figures. She wondered if she should leave too, squeezed her thin shirt, frowned, and had to find a seat nearby, so as not to get in the way.

From the moment he was pulled into her arms to the present, her beating heart has not calmed down. Luo Zhi gently pressed his wrist to his chest and gently closed his eyes.

But the thumping heartbeat did not overwhelm reason.

Look, it's here again, it's going to be done again. She took a deep breath and tried to warn herself, Luo Zhi, if you grow your mind...you know you should...you know...

If you have a brain, Luo Zhi.

No one can fool you unless you are willing. Don't let this endless cycle repeat.

She was thinking about her mind with distracted eyes, but her eyes were obscured by shadows. Sheng Huainan stepped away from cleaning the battlefield within a few minutes and said to her with a smile, "Let's go."

"Don't you need to stay and help?"

"Help a ghost?!" Sheng Huainan grumbled in a low voice, and Luo Zhi suddenly saw the complaining face with the back of the little officer two hours ago openly before his eyes.

Luo Zhi finally got his coat back and quickly put it on. Sheng Huainan on one side also put on a down jacket. The snow outside has stopped, and because the temperature is not very low, only a small layer has accumulated. Luo Zhi seriously branded his footprints where no one had stepped on it.

"I think you definitely have a virgin complex. Look at you, you must even read a new book, and you like to step on the snow that no one has stepped on."

Luo Zhi smiled: "Right, just..."

In fact, she didn't know what to ask, after all, she didn't know anything about the student union. Sheng Huainan shrugged her shoulders and relieved her: "It's nothing big, it's just a fight between several factions. It's small and boring."

"Will it affect you?"

He raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, not knowing what he had realized, and immediately smiled happily.

"Don't worry, it won't. I can balance it. Anyway, it's just a mix of fun."

The words unconsciously brought a bit of pride and arrogance. Luo Zhi felt itchy in his heart. I am afraid that such Sheng Huainan is rare. People who are not leaking seldom show their true arrogance in their hearts.

Does this prove that she is special to him?

Luo Zhi couldn't help thinking like this, and even more uncontrollably laughed at himself fiercely-it's all here, still guessing his status.

Secret love has become a habit, humbleness has been rooted in the bones, scraping bones can not wipe clean.

"Actually," he said after being quiet for a while, "I was a little annoyed a while ago...because of the student union."

She was silent, waiting for him to speak.

"But the most annoying thing is that people think I should be upset," he looked forward and laughed at himself. "Although the relationship between me and Gobi's superiors was not good, the two of us were still good. After the accident, He offered to accompany me several times to relieve my sorrows by drinking alcohol, but I had no sorrows, so I couldn't laugh or cry and had to avoid him."

Luo Zhi roughly understood the situation in Sheng Huainan's calm narration. The Student Union is not having a peaceful New Year. The sponsorship of the New Year's party had been settled by Sheng Huainan’s External Relations Department, but at a critical juncture in mid-December, the electronics export company suddenly turned back. The company explained to the student union that the supervisor who signed the agreement resigned, and the agreement has not passed the company process review and cannot take effect.

If it doesn't take effect, it will naturally not be paid.

Everyone knows that the real reason lies with the chairman of the student union. Nominally, the sponsorship was brought in by Sheng Huainan’s External Relations Department in accordance with established procedures, but in fact, the chairman personally approached and arranged. Withdrawing now, Sheng Huainan has become a scapegoat, he can't put these things that can't be put on the stage as a report to the Youth League teacher, not to mention the other party may know the situation better than himself.

The black pot can only continue to carry.

The post of chairman of the Student Union of University of P is a fat man, with the most honorable face and huge benefits. Whether it’s going out to find a job or recommending graduate students, having this title is basically a catch. At the same time, using his authority, the chairman will hold the lifeblood of some important campus projects. The extra money and rebates are very generous, so every year when elections are made, all parties The fight is surging.

Every year, nearly one-third of the freshmen rush into the student union to become small officers, running errands, moving things, and handing out flyers—although there are very few sophomores who can become ministers. If you want to get mixed up in the student union, ability and perseverance are important, but more important is the appointment of the former minister or higher level. After half a semester, most of the three-minute enthusiastic little officers retired from the department and skipped work; only one of the few people who remained could become the minister, and the others could only be named as deputy department by friendship—this title Naturally it is meaningless, so it is often gone. However, there is no shortage of staff in the student union. Every year, a large number of small officers come in. They are much more obedient and deceptive than the "deputy ministers". Sophomore ministers will be elected to the presidium in the next semester. Among them, four or five lucky ones can become vice-chairmen in the junior year, and the senior student union chairmen will be selected from these four or five vice-chairmen.

Pyramid-like levels.

In this world, climbing up is never an easy task, unless someone supports you to jump up. For example, the current president of the Student Union, his grades were messed up and he studied in an unpopular adjustment major, but his family background allowed him to maintain a good relationship with some teachers of the Youth League Committee. Before the election, he gave many voters the most money and dinner. However, just before the new year, the chairman's father in the admissions office of a certain southern province was double-regulated. During the investigation and punishment, the financial entanglement of several companies that provided sponsorship funds was also incidentally pulled out, so that these sponsors shunned it.

Seeing that several activities planned for the New Year were all over there, several teachers of the Youth League Committee were so anxious that they did not dare to continue to use him, nor did they dare to move him rashly. The current chairman was frozen like this, like a puppet emperor.

But at this time, Gobi found the sponsorship of the family business and was on the verge of danger. The small group of vice-chairmen that Gobi followed had fought openly and secretly with the current chairman, and this action slapped the puppet emperor severely. So today the scene was in such a mess. The chairman stood aside watching the excitement and did not leave the town scene. Gobi is the leading figure today. The teachers above him are not present by coincidence. If this embarrassing situation lasts for a second, the chairman will be happier.

Sheng Huainan let out a long white breath.

"It's so annoying. Every one of them is messy, and all of them seem to be serious. I'll be picking them up when the election is over next semester."

His childish tone made Luo Zhi smile, but in the face of this long, faint complaint, she really didn't know how to give feedback. She naturally believed that he said that she could settle it. Originally, she also knew that Sheng Huainan had no intention of this.

Therefore, I can only smile.

Suddenly there was snow again. Sheng Huainan and her walked away from the brightly lit communication center and walked on the small gravel road when Luo Zhi came. For a long time, neither of them spoke, and there were only rustling snowfalls and crunching footsteps all over the world.

"Do you still like me?"

Luo Zhigang stepped heavily into the snow, and when he heard his words, he immediately stopped, like a cat pinched in place by the back of his neck. The only thing moving in the whole world was the white gas from their two breaths, which came violently, and then quickly faded away.

Suddenly jumping here from the topic of the student union, she was a little confused, feeling that Sheng Huainan was approaching behind her, and quickly took a step forward, but he held her hand.

"Am I a hooligan?" He raised her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, then clenched it against his chest. Luo Zhi stared at him like a Martian, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

"If I want to marry you, then that's not a hooliganism, right?"

Sheng Huainan looked at Luo Zhi, who was still petrified, and her scary eyes, and decided not to obscure any more.

"Luo Zhi," he smiled confidently, "I..."

"do not!"

Luo Zhi's shout shocked the fresh snow on the branches.
