Unrequited Love

Gu Zhiye hadn't spoken for a long time, as if he was considering his words. After a while, he said lightly: "It may have been a misunderstanding that day."

She laughed: "I don't think I misunderstood you, but I am afraid you are misunderstanding me now."

It's not that Luo Zhi had never thought about it. She said this coldly at this moment, which might make Gu Zhiye misunderstand that she was eating Belle's jealousy. After all, she was the first person to be accosted. But for her, compared to being misunderstood by Gu Zhiye, what matters more is that if Gu Zhiye is indeed a protagonist hunting around, she can at least give this person a warning before Belle falls. After all, at the New Year’s reception at that time, even if it was not a beautiful woman, Luo Zhi and Belle were inconspicuous in their dresses. Even the farce between Belle, Gobi and Chen Mohan, Gu Zhiye also saw the end. What was the reason that made him touch up Luo Zhi with a faceless expression at first, then turned around and chased out to meet Jiang Baili? Is it really attracted by their so-called "unique temperament"? Luo Zhi naturally did not believe in such nonsense.

It was a warning, because the man in front of her made her feel the huge gap between her age and experience, so even after careful consideration of words, Luo Zhi still felt that everything she said was immature and funny. She knew that her mind would definitely not be able to turn him, and it would be futile to try to listen to his true thoughts. If she rushed to persuade Belle, the effect would be counterproductive.

Even if you are worried, you can only choose to wait and see. Luo Zhi has always believed that when it comes to emotional issues, mortals' smart actions are not only unable to turn the tide, but are very likely to contribute to the situation.

Gu Zhiye snuffed out only half of the cigarette, and threw it into the trash can beside him. He looked at Luo Zhi with interest for a long time before nodding and saying: "I understand."

Belle finally walked out, plastic bags full of snacks. Luo Zhi guessed that she must be using these to cover the most central Sophie night sanitary napkins.

"You ran in so anxiously just to buy food? Are you not full?" Gu Zhiye looked incredulous. Belle was very embarrassed, and she halted for a long time, Luo Zhi interrupted quickly: "Ah, I remembered, our counselor asked you to help her see the baby tomorrow morning, right?"

Belle nodded her head like garlic: "Yes, yes, coax the kids, so I bought a lot of food."

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Zhi saw a sly smile in Gu Zhiye's eyes, and lowered his head to find that the big bag of Sophie's night bathroom had somehow been squeezed next to Lay's potato chips, with a huge logo. Make them look stupid when they open their eyes and tell lies.

Luo Zhi also held back his smile, put his hand on Belle's shoulder, pushed her forward, and said, "Let's go back to the dormitory."

Gu Zhiye's cell phone vibrated suddenly, and he waved his hand to signal them to wait a while before walking to the green belt a little further away to answer the phone. It took two or three minutes before he walked back and asked them with a smile: "Well, the last one is over. Will you party after returning to the dormitory?"

Belle shook her head: "It's not the end of the first final exam, or carnival. In fact, there is nothing to do, just hang out on the Internet, watch TV shows, BBS water or something."

"How about singing?"

Luo Zhi saw Belle’s eyes flashing, and when she wanted to stop her, Belle pulled her arm and jumped up: "Okay, okay! But now... these KTVs near the school must have been full. It's almost nine o'clock, it's the weekend again, a lot of people went to sing as soon as the exam was over, the club had a dinner at the end of the term..."

Gu Zhiye was amused by her excitement and frustration for a while: "It's okay. Anyway, there is a car. Let's go to a place a little farther away. After singing, I will send you back."

Belle suggested: "If you are a little farther away, there is a'cash cabinet' near Baishiqiao!"

Gu Zhiye thought about it for a moment and shook his head: "I know there is a very good one in Lama Temple, go and see?"

Luo Zhi found that friendship was indeed a troublesome thing. For example, facing Belle's expectant expression at the moment, she couldn't say the three words "Forget it" anyway.

When he was about to leave, Luo Zhi received a call from Luoyang. He specifically called to tell her that, for some reason, it was difficult to buy train tickets this year, and advised her not to travel as usual as usual, and to prepare early.

Luo Zhi suddenly thought of Chen Jing, so after Luoyang asked about his final exam situation, he asked nonchalantly: "Brother, do you love Sister Ci very much?"

Luoyang laughed: "Are you stupid in the exam? Where are you going to follow?"

"Answer the question!" She only pretended to be angry when she was coquettish in front of Luoyang, but this frightened Jiang Baili who was sitting in the passenger seat, and the other party simply turned her head and half leaned on the back of the chair to watch her.

"Love, of course, love to death. I love four women in my life: my mother, Chen Jing, you, and my future daughter."

Luo Zhi didn't know where his peculiar panic came from. He couldn't let go of Luoyang's ridiculously normal response.

"Um, great. I'm fine." She said dullly, preparing to hang up.

"...Did Chen Jing tell you anything?"

At the moment when Luo Zhi was about to blurt out the word "goodbye", Luoyang suddenly raised this question. The seemingly inadvertent tone, but a little bit nervous, as if someone grabbed a hair of Luo Zhi and pulled it gently.

She did not speak. In the airtight compartment, I can hear my breathing and heartbeat clearly.

"Chen Jing thinks too much." Luoyang said lightly.

Luo Zhi still did not speak.

"I just feel it is a pity for her, and I don't mean anything else. The little girl is too reckless, I don't think it's worth it, that's it. You all think too much."

Luo Zhi heard it full of doubts, but still remained silent.

Silence is the best way to question.

"Okay, okay, you don't want to join in the fun, women are troublesome, Xiao Bapo, take a good rest after the exam, have you heard?"

It is estimated that Luoyang is still working overtime. On the phone side, the vague dialogue, keyboard tapping and phone ringing in the writing room are in sharp contrast with the silence on Luozhi's side.

In such an environment, it is indeed not suitable to talk about feelings in detail.

Luo Zhi nodded, remembering that the other party couldn’t see it again, and hurriedly said, “Brother, actually Sister Nianci didn’t say anything. I just remembered a joke, trying to scare you, but I didn’t expect to swindle something. . I need a hush fee."

Luoyang was quiet there for a few seconds before he laughed and said, "Okay, let's eat together this weekend."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhi saw a new message. It was Sheng Huainan and said, "I mean it."

She stared at the screen for a while, then raised her hand to delete the text message and delete the contact. She found that when she pressed the delete button, she did not hesitate and hesitated for even a second, she was very simply.

Whenever their relationship dropped to a freezing point, she would flip through the pages of the SMS records when she was close with her phone in her bed. Back and forth, even if it was just a line of ellipsis, she kept it, until the inbox was overwhelmed, she was reluctant to single out the least important and delete it. The ambiguity and temptation of each word is the only little light in the middle of the night, with the temperature of self-deception, telling her that the enthusiasm that she had had is not fake. She relied on these vague information and judgments to clearly outline his erratic back with solid lines.

She despised her behavior, but browsed through it night and night, like endless books and unpredictable exam questions.

"Are you calling your brother?"

"Ok."

Belle rolled her eyes and thought for a while: "I saw him once and he came to our dormitory, and you brought him a book. I thought at the time, your brother is so handsome and has a good temperament, how could he be your brother? You are such a civilian."

Luo Zhi almost vomited blood, and it took a long time to remember: "You didn't sleep at that time?"

"I'm reading a novel on my bed, I didn't dare to show it."

"My brother looks average, he looks pleasing to the eye. I think it may be because he has worked, his dress and temperament have changed a bit. The boys around you are all sloppy half-haired children, and the contrast is of course very strong. ."

"I thought he was your boyfriend at first. Later I found out that as a commoner, your ambition is not small, and you actually want to be more handsome. Saying Sheng..." She stopped suddenly, sticking out her tongue. , Looked at Luo Zhi in a panic.

Luo Zhi originally wanted to throw away the sentence "Handsome, handsome, you think I'm you, find a boyfriend and just look at your face"-suddenly felt that it was boring to say this in front of Gu Zhiye, and worried that the other party would misunderstand these jokes. Belle is superficial.

Simply shut up.

When approaching the door, Gu Zhiye answered another call. The car was still quiet. Only Belle was humming softly while reading a magazine, but the other end of the phone was very noisy. A girl had no choice but to say something loudly to the phone in a yelling way. Luo Zhi couldn't hear it, but the vague words could still be recognized.

Gu Zhiye parked the car at the door: "You go down first, wait for me at the front desk, and I will stop."

Under the neon lights, Luo Zhi saw the color flow on Jiang Baili's face.

"It turned out to be'Candy'. I've been here." Belle smiled.

Luo Zhi was stunned, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he still tightened her and walked inward through the door of the taxi team waiting for passengers.

Gu Zhiye arrived quickly and said to the waiter: "There are reservations."

"Mr. What is your last name?"

He was stunned for a moment: "Oh, my name is Gu." The waiter frowned and lowered his head to check the records. He turned around and gestured towards Luo Zhi and Jiang Baili, motioning them to sit on the sofa in the distance.

After a few minutes, the waiter came over and smiled and said, "Please, please."

Walking through the radiant corridor, Luo Zhi heard a soft call in the chaotic music leaking out of the private room: "Jiang Baili?"

Jiang Baili didn't hear it, but still smiled without any response. Luo Zhi saw through the mirror the profile of Chen Mohan who was standing not far behind them, and for a moment decided to pretend to be deaf and drag her to walk quickly.

"Belle?"

This time it was a male voice. Luo Zhi felt Jiang Baili's body stiffen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was over.

Jiang Baili turned her head in surprise, and Gobi and Chen Mohan stood at the door of the bathroom. Gobi had already stepped on the doorstep with one foot, and turned his face sideways, looking at them with an expression of disbelief.

"Belle, why aren't you leaving?"

Gu Zhiye caught up from behind. Before he could say anything, Gobi smiled and said hello: "Mr. Gu, what a coincidence."

Luo Zhi sighed, it was lively now.

Chen Mohan glanced at Jiang Baili with a smirk, then pushed Gobi to the bathroom: "Aren't you in a hurry to go? Why are you standing stupidly? How many people are going to sing."

Gobi glanced at Jiang Baili and then at Gu Zhiye, pushing the door in without looking back, Chen Mohan followed closely. Only three of them were left in the corridor, and the waiter had already disappeared in the corner of the corridor.

"What's the matter?" Gu Zhiye didn't know what was going on, Belle reluctantly curled up her mouth and said: "Classmates, let's go, go sing." After that, she strode towards the end of the corridor alone.

Luo Zhi observing the expression on Gu Zhiye's face suspiciously, trying to find a flaw-this man watched Jiang Baili and Gobi's farce from beginning to end at the reception, even if Jiang Baili was not clear, there was his own next to him. Insider, but his innocent look at the moment is completely natural.

"I know, he is Belle's ex-boyfriend," he saw Luo Zhi frowning and staring, and laughed, "It's also a shameful thing anyway. Just let me pretend I don't know, so that Belle is not sad."

Luo Zhi nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Jiang Baili is an absolute Maiba. Luo Zhi sits aside and is responsible for helping her order a song, but also has a selfish intention. He is good at advocating a few bad street lovers and singing to them both.

The scene just now made her make a decision in an instant, she would rather push Belle into this new and uncertain relationship, and vowed to block the old one.

However, when Gu Zhiye clicked on "Exclusive Memories", Luo Zhi sensitively discovered that Jiang Baili was something wrong again.

I like you, it is my exclusive memory.

No matter how bad people say it.

Jiang Baili stood up and said "I'm going to the bathroom", and hurriedly went out, covering her mouth before she even ran out of the room.

Needless to say, it is another song with a story behind it.

Only Gu Zhiye and Luo Zhi were left in the room, and Gu Zhiye stopped singing, leaning on the back of the sofa, resting his hands behind his head and not talking. After sitting in this way for a minute, Luo Zhi felt that the background music was too annoying, so he simply pressed mute.

Quiet, but embarrassing.

Gu Zhiye suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette. Sing it, it's been almost an hour now, you haven't sung yet."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and went out, leaving Luo Zhi to sit alone in the dim private room. She stretched her arms, leaned her head on the sofa comfortably, and gently closed her eyes.

Memory is a conclusion. No matter how sweet or painful the experience is, when it becomes a memory, it always needs the final result to make it better. The result is happy, and the past hardships can also be wrapped in honey; the result is tragic, and the once sweet fragrance will inevitably be covered in dust, always reminding myself that if I knew this, why bother.

At this moment, Luo Zhi finally remembered the song "Exclusive Memory" and also thought of "Candy". The small town girl Jiang Baili excitedly told Luo Zhi in her freshman year that Gobi took her to a big KTV, far away from the school. The first song Gobi sang for her was "Exclusive Memory" by Chen Xiaochun.

"Gobi sings very nicely. It's really, really nice."

Is that song really sung for you?

I like you, it is my exclusive memory.

No matter how bad people say it.

Gobi's love for Chen Mohan is his exclusive memory. It is estimated that Jiang Baili finally understands at this moment.

Congratulations to her, this song belongs to her from today, and Gobi has become her exclusive memory.

"When you come to KTV alone and don't sing yet, you really have a personality."

The door was pushed open, and the messy music outside also took advantage of it. Luo Zhi opened his eyes, unable to react for a while.

The boy half-length leaning on the door in front of him was Sheng Huainan who was awkwardly separated from her at the supermarket door a few hours ago.

She opened her mouth, straightened her posture, and finally smiled, not knowing what to say.

Sheng Huainan walked in without seeing the outside world, turned around, closed the door, and sat down beside her. Luo Zhi moved to the side subconsciously, wondering why this private room was so small.

"That President Gu left you here alone?"

Luo Zhi frowned and looked at the song screen, with an unhappy expression directly on his face.

As soon as Sheng Huainan finished speaking, he waved his hand anxiously: "No, I didn't mean that. I... I passed by several times and saw the three of you singing. I mean..."

This kind of incoherent apology even felt helpless for him. Sheng Huainan paused for a while before speaking again.

Luo Zhi's brows gradually unfolded, and after all, he calmed down and asked him: "Then why are you here? It's far from the school."

"I... I was called by a friend to sing K."

With his elbows on his knees, he smiled nervously.

"I found it quite boring when I came here. The private room is very stuffy, and the temperature of the air conditioner is too high. I can't breathe."

Luo Zhi nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say.

"Coming out to the bathroom, passing here, I just saw you through the glass door. I'm still thinking about it, you crossed Erlang's legs and opened your arms. It looks like a grandfather. It makes people want to give you a companion on each side. In his arms."

Where to follow. Sheng Huainan's joke seemed to be forced out, very boring, and it sounded embarrassing.

what happened to you? Who are you possessed today? Why is it not like you at all?

The doubts caused by the discomfort almost made her blurt out. Sheng Huainan, who had finished the monologue, suddenly turned to look at her.

Even though she had moved away from her, she was still sandwiched between him and the jukebox, and the lights sprinkled with colorful stars on his face. They were too close, and she was suddenly speechless.

Even though she was no longer ecstatic about each encounter and gave it rich meaning, she still couldn't bear to speak and drive him away at this moment. Emotion and reason are at war, and what wins is always emotion.

Whether you are close or far away, the end result is sad.

At this time, the phone in the pocket vibrated, it was an unfamiliar number. Luo Zhi quickly picked it up, stood up and walked towards the door, free from his encirclement.

"Luo Zhi? This is Gu Zhiye. I accompany Belle and take her for a drive. I'm sorry that I won't go back for the time being. You can continue singing, or call a few friends over and I'll treat you. Sorry to leave you alone."

For a drive? Luo Zhi smiled a little relievedly. Fortunately, although the embarrassing encounter and revisiting the old place made Belle gloomy, it was an opportunity for them.

However, she suddenly remembered another thing: "Um, the bill should be settled when you leave, right? How do you treat guests?"

The other person seemed to be surprised that she actually cared about this, and she couldn't help but laugh so straightforwardly.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I was negligent. 180 yuan an hour, if you leave now, it is estimated to be 360 ​​yuan, do you have enough cash? Do you have a credit card? When Belle returns to school, I will ask her to carry you , It's... it's because I didn't think about it well. But you just asked it out, it's really... it's really interesting."

"Well, I have a student credit card. Then I will sing all night, you say, you pay for it, I will not forget what you want."

Gu Zhiye smiled heartily on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, be careful yourself."

At the moment when the other party was about to hang up, Luo Zhi almost asked, "Mr. Gu, are you serious?" After another thought, what's the point of asking if you don’t ask? Feelings will take their course, even if he is just casual For fun, even if Jiang Baili is drinking poison to quench his thirst, why do you be afraid of things you love me.

This is the theory of love. You can rub it round and turn it upside down. It makes sense.

She put down the phone, turned her head, and looked at the boy who seemed to appear out of thin air in the shadows. There are hundreds of his images in her impression: back, side, front, carrying a schoolbag, chasing a tricycle picking up **** in the sunset, sliding on the ice rink, holding an umbrella in the heavy rain...No matter how superimposed, it can’t be done. The color was smeared deeper, as deep as he was right now.

This story is like a footwear. A bad movie has a bad ending. Every moment you feel that it is going to be subtitled, but a new scene appears in the next second, explaining something meaningless. detail.

But on the other hand, it is also a good thing. Her performance has always been bad, so God has given her the opportunity to practice constantly and make corrections time and time again. Smooth out her pride, relieve her tension, eliminate her expectations, and soothe her resentment.

The pulling for such a long time, even if it ruined her hope of ending the relationship neatly and freely, it also cushioned the pain. Too beautiful ending is equivalent to beautification in another sense, instead of making people remember it, it is better to destroy it with mediocrity.

"What do you want to do?"

She walked over, sat down, put her hands on her knees, and looked at him in a relaxed and sincere gesture.
