Unrequited Love

Luo Zhi didn't see Sheng Huainan again for a long time.

Without text messages, Sheng Huainan did not even go to the second and third law introduction classes. Zhang Mingrui has been sitting next to her.

She asked lightly: "Where has Sheng Huainan gone?"

Zhang Mingrui said: "I was preparing for the debate, so I skipped class."

"debate?"

"Our college still frustrated your School of Economics in the debate a few days ago. Everyone said, regardless of what social science department it is, the eloquence is still not as good as our logically strong science students."

Seeing Luo Zhi's look blank and unconscious, Zhang Mingrui felt that the topic he had just mentioned was wasted seriously.

"Your mouth is also quite powerful. When you hurt me, why didn't you participate in the debate?"

Luo Zhi smiled: "My eloquence is only responsible for eliminating violence and peace."

Zhang Mingrui gave a "cut" and turned his head.

On the weekend of the first week after the National Day holiday, Luo Zhi met Tiffany's mother. She talked to Luo Zhi about Jake's changes and the two children's love for the big brother who accompanied them on the playground. She further asked Luo Zhi if the boy would come to accompany Jake several times a week and be a family with her Teachers are partners.

Luo Zhi agreed to help.

After returning from the playground, she was convinced that the strange and embarrassing atmosphere was not just her own illusion. She waited for Sheng Huainan's text message, waiting for him to explain something-even if it was an apology, plainly, I'm sorry I shouldn't hold your hand impulsively-but there was nothing.

She did not take the initiative to contact. Luo Zhi was convinced that she didn't need to say more. She didn't refuse at the time, and grabbed his hand. What does her move mean, how could he not understand what she was so smart?

Luo Zhi knew that if she was still likely to receive text messages from the other party again, it must be a mass blessing at Christmas.

However, regarding Jake's affairs, she must contact him, otherwise she will not be able to deal with her when she goes to tutor in the afternoon. During the lecture, she reluctantly sent a text message, simply conveying the hostess's gratitude and invitation, carefully considering each word, and trying to make the wording not sound like a wordless question.

It took a long time to receive a reply.

"No thanks, I said I like them very much. But sorry, I'm very busy lately. The student union and the debate team have many activities. Help me tell their mother that I will often play with them when I have time, but no money .^_^"

Luo Zhi froze. Is it mean to collect money?

She told herself that he didn't mean it, he was not sarcastic, Luo Zhi, don't be careful, don't think too much, he didn't mean it...

She almost forgot. After visiting the Odyssey, he took advantage of the time when the two children ran to throw out the garbage and asked her how many times a week he would go to tutor. She said that with a salary of 150 yuan an hour, she accompanies her two children to learn and play for about six hours a week.

It seems that as soon as you close your eyes, you can see Sheng Huainan's calm face and the faint saying: "Not bad, too fat, and such a cute child."

"It's tiring to please children, but it's tiring to do what you do. It's really not easy to make money." She told him so sincerely that she thought he would not misunderstand.

She is too naive. How important money is, how would he know.

He was still the little boy wearing a clean and nice-looking children's suit, standing on the steps holding the ball, and reaching out to her.

It's just that she looked up at him from the beginning, and some gestures concealed humbleness and anger that were not easy to find. She tried to stand upright and walked up high, but she still looked up at him.

Luo Zhi told himself frantically, you think too much, you think too much. However, the tears turned countless times and fell ticking.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Mingrui was a little confused on the side.

"It's okay." She wiped away tears with a tissue, and continued to copy notes, as if nothing happened just now.

Nothing happened, the hand held by him and the hidden contempt were all misunderstandings.

Zhang Mingrui looked at her silently for a long time. The opportunity to sit together in class for the past two weeks made him discover that Luo Zhi had been slow in Wen Tun most of the time. In a class where there were only two people alone, she barely spoke. She didn't know what she was thinking. A thick barrier killed all Zhang Mingrui's unspoken words.

However, at some point, she was still reticent, but witty, able to continue the topic perfectly in simple words, vivid and colorful.

At those times, she was awake, always ready to fight, and she was trying to "present" Luo Zhi.

At those times, it was the first time I met in the Fa Instruction class, when someone was there.

Zhang Mingrui's eyes had a hint of inferiority and pity that he could not tell.

They are all like this. So is Luo Zhi, and so is she. He couldn't understand it once, but now he understands it all.

The autumn air has a special smell, cold and sweet, which makes Luo Zhi very fond of it. She barely finished the first half of class, put down the pen and rushed out of the teaching building. Before she stood still, she took a deep breath, inhaled until her lungs hurt, and then slowly spit it out.

It has been a long time since she went to the playground to run laps.

Suddenly saw Zheng Wenrui at the door. After their long conversation, Zheng Wenrui would look away whenever he saw Luo Zhi in the teaching building, and tighten his mouth in embarrassment. Luo Zhi also pretended not to see her very interestingly. Luo Zhi felt that she could understand her feelings, and couldn't bear the gates in her heart, so she hurriedly found someone to talk to her. When she calmed down, she would feel very ashamed in retrospect, as if the listener was laughing uncompassionately with her mouth open. Like myself, it's more embarrassing than being stripped.

Zheng Wenrui would not know, they are actually very similar. She is not qualified to laugh at anything.

Luo Zhi suddenly remembered Zheng Wenrui's sentence "She is coming back."

The sudden turn of the playground that day came after Ye Zhanyan's new information. Has Ye Zhanyan turned his head?

So what, the focus is not on Ye Zhanyan at all. Luo Zhi smiled bitterly.

Suddenly I wanted to call my mother and ask her how well her life is. The north is already so cold and will her knee hurt.

Even though Luo Zhi was bathed in golden sunshine every week with the beautiful brother and sister, and the golden retriever playing frisbee, she still felt her weight and fear all the time. She needs to always remember that the same world, the same dream, but not the same destiny.

Their trajectories intersect only occasionally.

But Sheng Huainan would not know. As smart as he is, he may be able to understand but never understand.

All these chaotic thoughts were entangled, making Luo Zhi feel for the first time that they were so far away.

Once she was deliberately alienated, so that distance looked like she had caused it, and it was not embarrassing to think about it. But now, she trembled and stretched out her hand in a welcoming way, and found that she was really short of one hundred and eighty thousand miles, and she couldn't reach it at all, and the gesture of her stretched out her hand was even smiled by the other party.

When entering the room, Zhang Mingrui suddenly approached her mysteriously and said, "I just texted Sheng Huainan. He told me all the beauties in your high school."

"Oh?"

"He mentioned you too."

"Stop it."

"Tsk tusk, you beauties like to be humble on the surface and happy in the heart."

"Everyone is hypocritical."

"Look, admit it?"

"Acknowledged what? I really wasn't a beauty in high school."

"why?"

"Hmm..." Luo Zhi pretended to think about it seriously, "The little boy in high school just stared at the girl who dressed up early and behaved very adult, and has not learned to appreciate me."

She stared at him brazenly and smiled, and Zhang Mingrui blushed all at once.

Although he was a little darker, he could still see the blush.

"Hey, look, I'm not humble anymore, you put on this kind of appearance again, so that people don't live."

Zhang Mingrui recovered and cleared his throat and said, "Really, the two of us really mentioned you. Sheng Huainan said that in high school, apart from playing basketball and reading basketball magazines, the boys had only fun. It is to search for the list of beautiful women. As long as they are slightly in length, have a look, and their appearance," Zhang Mingrui deliberately emphasized the last four words, "They will all be included in the list."

"and then?"

Zhang Mingrui raised his eyebrows and said, "And then, then, Sheng Huainan just said—"

He stared at Luo Zhi and smiled.

"He said he never paid attention to you in high school."

After he finished speaking, the two were silent for a few more seconds.

Zhang Mingrui suddenly squatted on the ground and laughed.

"Luo Zhi, I am mad at you!"

After finishing this sentence of the primary school student's IQ level, he ran away happily, and jumped again. A bunch of hair on the back of his head undulates with the movement, and his back looks like a child who got candy.

At this time, the phone vibrated, and Sheng Huainan's text messages came at the right time.

"Sorry, he asked me if I knew you in high school, I said I never noticed. He was very happy to say that he must take revenge on you with this sentence, who made you choke him. I'm sorry..."

She couldn't laugh or cry.

Although he would not have the same knowledge of Zhang Mingrui who made childish actions, Luo Zhi still felt a little bitter.

No matter what, have you really paid no attention to it?

really? Not at all?

Many of her conjectures in high school have now been answered ruthlessly.

She sat in her seat and fiddled with the lecture aimlessly. After a few minutes, the phone vibrated again.

"Angry?"

Luo Zhi wanted to say that I had been angry since a long time ago.

But she didn't have the guts to say, because she cared about this fuzzy and fragile relationship. Whoever cares can't eat it.

"My heart is broken, and I'm fighting back one by one. You help me tell Zhang Mingrui that I gave up."

"No matter what, I apologize." He replied.

"Your apologies are always weird. First you apologized for Zhang Mingrui liked me, and now you apologize for not knowing me in high school. How do you tell me to say "It's okay"?"

Sheng Huainan didn't reply again.

At this time, the class was in, Zhang Mingrui returned to his seat with the water glass, and carefully looked at Luo Zhi's face.

"Are you angry?"

"Actually not, but in order to sell you a face—well, I'm so angry."

"Sell me face?"

"Isn't it your purpose to make me angry?"

"Who said that?!"

Zhang Mingrui blushed again and turned his head to ignore her.

At this time, she was still able to cope with it without any awkwardness. She has such a useful mask.

Zhang Mingrui is very carefree, but he is very capable of doing what he says. He asked Sheng Huainan what Luozhi was like in high school. Sheng Huainan's reply is: I haven't noticed, I only know that he is the first place in the liberal arts class.

He didn't know why he had to sting her, as if it was fun to watch her lose control.

Or just want to wake her up. As if she was awake, the other person would see more clearly.
