Unrequited Love

In the afternoon of the next day, Luo Zhi picked up a transparent file bag containing a copy of the application form and transcript, and went out to the law school office building to register for a dual degree.

She walked forward along the path, always careful about the persimmons on her head, and finally reached the sunny open area. There were many bicycles coming and going on the road. She suddenly heard the exclamation of the girl next to her, and followed everyone's eyes. A boy was slowly riding a bicycle without holding the handlebars, holding a Master Kong noodle bucket in one hand and a fork in the other. Riding while eating, slowly and steadily advancing at a constant speed not far in front of Luozhi. The slow speed made Luo Zhi sure that he was not too late to eat, but on purpose.

Every time he passed a pedestrian, he would ask with a smile on his face: "Have you eaten, take a bite? Master Kong, that's it!" Not far behind a group of sneaky boys taking pictures with mobile phones. Luo Zhi was even more certain. He had made a fool of himself by betting that he had lost.

She thought this way and laughed. The boy turned his head and saw a pair of smiling eyes, his face splashed half of his body when he crooked his hands.

The little brothers clapped their hands and roared. Luo Zhi grinned awkwardly, and quickly fled the scene.

She walked too quickly, and when she looked up, she found that she had deviated from the direction of the law school and walked to the small supermarket in front of the East Gate office building. She suddenly felt a little thirsty, so she went in to buy water.

Just like that, I saw Sheng Huainan.

At that moment, Luo Zhi even looked up at the imaginary persimmon tree in fear.

A person who is rarely seen in ordinary times suddenly ran into it frequently in two consecutive days. She knew that it must be God's little finger that started to cause trouble-it was a blessing or a curse, but a curse could not be avoided.

This is the third time I have seen him in college for a whole year. They grabbed the same bottle of afternoon black tea—in fact, Luo Zhi did it deliberately. She didn't know where she had the courage, so she stretched out her hand before she knew it. However, Sheng Huainan only apologized and let go and grabbed another bottle. When she said "it's okay" with a flustered smile, he had already turned and walked towards the payment counter. She didn't even hear his voice apologizing, but logically judged that it should be a "sorry".

It turned out that he didn't know her. Really don't know.

When she was in high school, she silently speculated in her heart for three years, guessing what the other party thought of her. After all, she always thought that she was a small celebrity—to this day, she finally got the answer to her dreams.

What a celebrity, but just a personal name.

She grinned at the freezer, couldn't help but grinned again and finally smiled.

But this may be a landmark day, and she greeted him for the first time—albeit from behind.

The cashier shook her finger before her eyes, and she recovered and quickly handed out the black tea in her hand.

The bottle of black tea is the closest contact between her and him in her life, but there is no description in literary works such as "his fingers are slightly cold, and there is a dry touch when brushing the back of my hand"-her brain is blank and she can't remember anything. Woke up.

After twisting the black tea in her hand for a long time, she couldn't unscrew it. She walked to the front of the law school building. Her left and right palms were red and red, and the mouth of her right hand was printed with a narrow vertical stripe on the bottle cap. She still couldn't take a sip.

It was three o'clock when she came out of the law school to complete the formalities. She liked this time, the sun was shining but not dazzling. Luo Zhi looked at the black tea in his hand as he walked, then raised his head, and went back to the supermarket in front of the Dongmen office building.

Does the ghost hit the wall? She laughed blankly, and glanced in the direction of the door unintentionally. At one glance, she saw a girl with a red jacket and bright black ponytail. She was quite beautiful and it was difficult to pay attention.

Even more eye-catching is the people around her.

Luo Zhi's self-deprecating smile froze because of "ghost hitting the wall".

Sheng Huainan, wearing a black cashmere sweater with a V-neck, with his hands in his pockets, facing the girl blankly, standing on the steps condescendingly. The girl grabbed his sleeve and didn't know what she was talking about, and she seemed to be in a stalemate.

This was the real ghost hitting the wall, going around and seeing him again.

Luo Zhi felt suffocated for a moment, and then without hesitation, he took a deep breath and walked over, lowered his head and pretended not to see the good show ahead, hit the girl's shoulder on the crowded steps, and then raised his head. Saying in an unexpected way: "Oh, I'm so sorry."

She must be crazy. what is she doing?

Sheng Huainan quickly added a sentence at this moment: "Luo Zhi?"

Before Luo Zhi nodded in surprise, Sheng Huainan immediately smiled and said to the girl: "My classmates and I have something to say, you go back first."

It can be seen that the girl’s self-esteem that was just screwed onto Sheng Huainan’s cuff was taken back when another same-sex appeared. She paused, curbed her expression, smiled and said, “Well, let’s talk about it another day, Brother Chen’s form. I sent it to you too."

It is estimated that this sentence does not follow the preface, and Sheng Huainan's face has a trace of embarrassment. The girl turned and left, her head slightly raised with a little innate arrogance, her eyes did not deviate from Luo Zhi by half.

Luo Zhi looked back at Sheng Huainan after she walked away, smiled and said, "Oh, that, it turns out...Ha, should you thank me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to bite her tongue off. Calm, Luo Zhi, what's wrong with you? Calm!

Sheng Huainan looked a little surprised, but Luo Zhi was very happy to see that the other party did not choose to be stupid. Instead, Luo Luo nodded generously and said, "Then please have coffee. Thank you."

This is Sheng Huainan.

So she can't panic either.

Luo Zhi nodded along with the trend: "Then I'm sorry."

It just doesn't seem to be very happy.

Maybe it was because the long-awaited first encounter with him was too fake and artificial.

Don't think too much, she tells herself while walking, as an opportunity to prefer those who are prepared-she really takes too long to prepare.

She decisively followed his steps, turned around too quickly and hit a passerby, hurriedly apologized, lowered her head and pulled up her broken hair, her fingers touched the left earlobe, and it was frighteningly hot.

When sitting in the cafe, Luo Zhi was a little restrained. She curled her hair with her fingers, her back kept straight, and she felt a little stiff, moved her buttocks, and finally found a relaxed posture on the soft leather sofa. After finishing this set of actions, he hurriedly raised his head and smiled at him, but what he saw was Sheng Huainan's wandering look at the tea coaster on the table.

Luo Zhi's smile solidified on her face, she felt a little embarrassed, and immediately turned her head to avoid the dazzling sunlight coming in from the side.

You can't break the silence without racking your brains. What should she say at this time? It's not that no one has chased her, it's not that she didn't chat and eat freely with the boys, but at this moment, the opposite is Sheng Huainan.

Opposite is Sheng Huainan.

All this happened so suddenly that it was really caught off guard, even though she caused it herself.

Sheng Huainan recovered from his distraction, and said calmly: "By the way, do you...know me? My name is Sheng Huainan."

He introduced himself to her. He introduced himself to her for the third time in his life.

The first time was too old, she did not dare to look back.

The second time was formal and official, but not just against her.

That was the eighty-eighth anniversary of the sophomore year in high school. As a student representative, he spoke on stage on behalf of the students. The self-introduction said: "Hello everyone, my name is Sheng Huainan and I come from the second grade (3) class."

At all the stylized and lengthy opening and closing ceremonies from elementary school to the present, the student representatives have mechanically generous speeches, and the pre-written manuscripts are turning pages, but only this sentence can not be turned over in Luo Zhi's heart. As the owner of Zhou Sheng standing in the shade under the stage, she couldn't see the sound, but the speaker was behind her, and the youth's clear and deep voice rang unexpectedly in her ears. She clung to the railing next to her in a panic, gave a light breath, then bowed her head amidst the excitement of whispers from the audience, her face was always faint and expressionless.

"I know you." She nodded.

"Oh, is it so?"

Should she continue to say how she met? Say he is very good and famous, everyone knows him? It's strange that he would be willing to listen if he was so bored.

Sheng Huainan seems to have nothing to say after he contributed an opening remark, but it seems that he did not find this kind of scene uncomfortable, and he did not bother to find a topic. He just looked out the window leisurely, his eyes were relaxed and just Luo. Trifoliate's affection formed a sharp contrast.

The leisurely touch suddenly stung Luo Zhi, and the faint pain for so many years became sharp at this moment. When will I be scared?

She put down the cup and cleared her throat and said, "I heard of you in high school, but I rarely saw you. I and many people around me are like this. I know people's names, but I never know them, and they don't match their faces. However, you are really famous. When you pass by, you will hear people shouting'Look, Sheng Huainan'-so I know you."

Sheng Huainan smiled, showing good-looking teeth, and said, "Yes, I am like this too. I have been in the same school for three years, and I will be familiar with each other no matter what, and sometimes even two people suddenly talk because of something. For example, if you step on the other person’s foot on the bus, and if you don’t have any change, you can borrow a little from a stranger who looks at you, or..."

"Or the water in the cafeteria was accidentally spilled on the other party when they were serving food or in class. If you don't fight, you won't know each other." Luo Zhi connected, and she saw Sheng Huainan's leisurely expression froze there, which was all she expected.

Do not fight without acquaintance. Just like you and your ex-girlfriend.

This sentence was more lethal to Sheng Huainan than Luo Zhi imagined.

She didn't know why she had to say that, knowing it would probably disgust him. However, when the words were spoken, seeing his reaction, she was suddenly a little happy, gloomyly happy, just as successful in revenge.

What revenge? Because he was more free and easy than the cramped himself?

Luo Zhi couldn't tell.

It seemed that there was another Luo Zhi floating in the air, grinning bitterly towards Sheng Huainan, while watching the cramped and contrived Luo Zhi on the seat.

She rubbed the coffee cup in her hand, her thoughts drifting further and further.
