Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 107 Extra Story 1: Unknown Flowers Are Blooming in the Yard ([-])
"Unknown flowers bloomed on the trellis, bright red, small, pouring down like a waterfall of vines. I saw it when I came back from the mountain. It was still daylight when I went out, and I just smelled a melancholy aroma, like They are the ones who wake up and find sadly that summer is over."

When Luo Zhi wrote this paragraph down in the diary, Sheng Huainan who was behind caught a glimpse and sighed.

She heard it and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sheng Huainan always said that Luo Zhi's diary gave him a headache, if he were to write it, there might be only one sentence:

"Unknown flowers are blooming in the yard."

He called Luo Zhi "Luo Luo" just like Luo Zhi's mother, but he didn't understand why Luo Zhi still called him "Sheng Huainan" by name and surname, and even wrote all three words in his diary.

Luo Zhi herself couldn't tell, maybe it was because she was once unable to call out his name openly, or maybe it was because her high school diary had half a page of his name written in blue pen at the end of the first entry: Sheng Huainan , Sheng Huainan, Sheng Huainan.

Sheng Huainan...

The neighbor's grandmother told them that they can climb the back mountain before dawn to watch the sunrise, and pick up a bucket of mountain spring water to make wine glutinous rice balls.Now is the best season to appreciate sweet-scented osmanthus, which is golden and can be seen all over the back mountains. Just pick a few of the freshest ones and sprinkle them into the rice balls, which is more intoxicating than fermented rice.

But Sheng Huainan missed it. When he woke up, it was already 08:30, the window faced the east, the sunlight just came in, and the room was bright.

"Why didn't you call me?" He sat on the bed angrily, the hair on the back of his head was sticking out, like a magpie in a panic.

Luo Zhi squinted her eyes and smiled, coaxing him to get up for breakfast with a good voice.

In fact, she didn't call him on purpose, not just because she felt distressed and wanted him to sleep for a while.At that time, she looked at him by the dim light of the bedside lamp, and saw him curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly, with his brows stretched, his peaceful and peaceful appearance, which was very beautiful.Then she slipped out of bed quietly, dressed lightly, and walked out the door.

When walking on the dirt road up the mountain, she still recalled his sleeping soundly in her mind, and she had a special feeling.

She was on the way, and the man she loved was at home; she would soon be back with him, but now, and only now, she was on the way alone.

This feeling is indescribable, like the fish and the bear's paw are under control.

In the morning, the fog was thick and the mountains were not high. She didn't see the beautiful sunrise, but she just took a bucket of sweet spring and picked a bunch of golden osmanthus.When I went back, I boiled two bowls of sweet fermented glutinous rice balls with clear spring water, sifted the golden osmanthus finely, and sprinkled them in the soup bowls.Sheng Huainan hadn't woken up yet, so Luo Zhi sat in the small courtyard and ate by herself, looking up was the mournful scent of the nameless flower, and looking down was the little sweetness in the bowl.

She ate two bowls by herself.

The mist above the head gradually dissipated, the sky became clearer, and the whole world brightened.

At that moment, she suddenly felt very happy.

Sheng Huainan would not understand this feeling.

Originally, it was agreed to go to the beach together today, but a phone call called Sheng Huainan to Hangzhou in the morning.

His business is getting better and better, the mobile game he developed is very popular, and many colleagues around Luo Zhi are playing it, but he is always angry that his wife never installs their app.

Luo Zhi's mobile phone has always only had the game "Bejeweled".She did think that the game Sheng Huainan and the others made was too fake and mentally handicapped, but it was surprisingly popular and made Sheng Huainan a fortune.

Luo Zhi really doesn't understand this world more and more.

A few months ago, she was pulled to help their development team do game dubbing.The product manager solemnly asked Luo Zhi to use Obasan's voice and tone to say, "It's a profit", "A beautiful backflip", "My God, I found money"...

When she was recording, Sheng Huainan kept laughing beside her. She knew that he was deliberately messing with her.

So Luo Zhi didn't install that game, just because she didn't want to hear her thirteen o'clock voice.

But Sheng Huainan insisted that it was because Luo Zhi was ruthless, and he no longer cherished him after he got it.

She won't know whether to laugh or cry if she succeeds you big-headed ghost.

It is true that Luo Zhi will no longer do stupid things like she did in high school. She will no longer learn to eat with three chopsticks, but will leave him to climb the mountain alone.

But every day she grew to like him more and more like herself.

Sheng Huainan left at noon with only a computer bag.He called a taxi by himself, and instead of letting Luo Zhi take him to the high-speed rail station, he left the rented car in the village.Luo Zhi took a nap for a while, and when she woke up, she saw a new text message from an unfamiliar number.

"I heard that you are in Ningbo, do you want to come out for dinner?"

Luo Zhi bit the bullet and asked who the other party was, he said, "Hi, I'm your high school classmate, my name is Qin Shuning."

Luo Zhi remembered him. In high school, he was Sheng Huainan's deskmate.

Beyond that, she knew next to nothing about the man.Sheng Huainan's head teacher in high school was a male math teacher who married another female Chinese teacher from Zhenhua.The couple have a common way of leading the class - when the seats are divided, boys and boys are always at the same table, and girls and girls are at the same table.It is said that it was first proposed by the female teacher, and was appreciated by the male teacher, because this method can prevent students from having inappropriate thoughts, so as not to affect their studies.

Therefore, students often joked that in this couple's class, everyone can only engage in homosexuality.

However, what exactly is "improper thinking"?Luo Zhi was still a model student in high school, perhaps even more model than Sheng Huainan, who always pissed off the Chinese teacher and played a scoundrel to avoid sweeping.But such a suitable student as her still had inappropriate thoughts about Sheng Huainan.

Sheng Huainan's male deskmate is this Qin Shuning.Luo Zhi once chatted with Sheng Huainan when he couldn't sleep at night, and when talking about all kinds of classmates in high school, Sheng Huainan mentioned this deskmate.Qin Shuning was less than 1.7 meters tall, and when he was one row taller, he offered to sit in the back row.This kind of request is the easiest to meet. Many parents want to move their children to the front seat, which is the trouble.Qin Shuning's request was exactly what the head teacher wanted, so he didn't ask him why he did so.

Luo Zhi guessed that maybe it was because of the boy's self-esteem.

He didn't want to continue being "the little guy in the front row."

Luo Zhi listened to Sheng Huainan's description of this plain tablemate who "has not had any friendship with him for three years", and at the same time, he clearly visualized the other person's appearance in his mind.

Qin Shuning is a quiet-looking boy, slightly thin, fair and handsome, wearing glasses, and looks gentle.

Luo Zhi was shocked by herself.

Sheng Huainan was still talking, she rested her head on his chest, listening to the buzzing resonance in her chest, and was distracted by this thought.

It should have been seen before when I sneaked a glance at Sheng Huainan—no matter how much Luo Zhi concealed her inappropriate thoughts back then, she was definitely not a girl who would not look sideways like a chaste and strong woman when she passed by the door of the third class.She would turn her head to glance at it seemingly inadvertently, and then calmly look away, her behavior was normal, very normal.

Sheng Huainan was sitting in the third row from the bottom, and he couldn't see it from the front door. Only the back door had hope, provided that he didn't move to the group next to the wall.

She should have caught a glimpse of Qin Shuning at this time, she thought.

He asked Luo Zhi to go on a date at a Japanese restaurant in the city center, and when he heard that she lived in the suburbs, he offered to pick her up, but she declined.

If it was in college, she would definitely not go to this kind of invitation from a distant stranger.Work tempers her character, not to mention Sheng Huainan and Ding Shuijing around her are also subtly influencing her, unconsciously, she has also changed a lot.

On the way from the outskirts to the city center, the navigation caused her to go around countless times.I finally found my destination, but I couldn't find a parking space. When I parked my car, I was already 10 minutes late.Luo Zhi trotted over a few steps, and met Qin Shuning at the gate.

Although he is a person who has nothing to do with each other, he is easy to recognize, as if the image in memory jumped out of Luo Zhi's mind.He has a small crew cut, rimless glasses, and a dark blue thin down vest over a white shirt. He is indeed not tall, because he is very thin, so he does not look short.Compared with high school, she has naturally matured a lot, with prominent edges and corners, but she is also inevitably old.

When Luo Zhi walked in, she subconsciously looked at herself through the door glass.

27 Eight-year-old people should be getting old, right?
This kind of change was difficult for herself and the people around her to see, but when she suddenly saw Qin Shuning, ten years of time showed its power in the most direct and violent way, she felt a little flustered.

Laugh, say hello, order food, be humble.

This boring social session has always given Luo Zhi a headache.This thoughtless meeting began to make her regret it.

"Are you drinking? Shall we have a jug of sake?"

Before Luo Zhi could refuse, he smiled and said to himself: "Sorry, I forgot, you drive."

When he lowered his head to study the wine list, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "It's only eleven, you're wearing a down vest, aren't you hot?"

Qin Shuning raised his head, smiled shyly, shook his head, and didn't speak.

This made Luo Zhi look like a weird old aunt, making things difficult for a high school student.

Actually, the reason why Luo Zhi agreed to come to see Qin Shuning was a little selfish after all.

Almost all of Sheng Huainan's friends she knew were his partners after starting a business. His old classmates were separated from each other.Many of Sheng Huainan's friends now know him later than Luo Zhi, so she has never had the feeling of being "brought into his childhood circle by her boyfriend", and she has never had the opportunity to ask anyone about his past. s story.

Even if it's a trivial story, even if you say "He's a kid..." with a smile!

She has always been a little regretful.

While waiting for the food boredly, Luo Zhi started to chat with him, which was actually a cross-examination.

It turned out that Qin Shuning learned that Luo Zhi was playing in Ningbo through a friend, and that friend read Luo Zhi's WeChat circle of friends.

She wanted to ask which friend he knew from, and why they talked about herself-but she saw him getting more and more uncomfortable.

She didn't feel right until now.Since Qin Shuning knew that Luo Zhi and Sheng Huainan were in Ningbo together, why didn't he mention inviting Sheng Huainan at all when he sent a text message today?

What's more, it stands to reason that if he wants to see his old classmates, he should contact Sheng Huainan directly.

She regretted her insensitivity, and began to be serious, not daring to ask further questions rashly.

"My grandma's home is in Ningbo. I haven't been back to China for two years. This time I have been home for a long time. Anyway, I have to come here to see the old man."

Haven't been back to China for two years?where have you beenLuo Zhi didn't ask any further questions, but nodded with a smile.

Qin Shuning took a sip of water and continued, "I'm going back to the United States next Monday to continue my studies."

The waiter brought out a small dish of wasabi octopus and a small dish of seaweed.

"Are you coming to Ningbo to set off? It's a safe journey."

"Go to Beijing for a transit."

"Oh."

Qin Shuning was silent for a while, and suddenly said solemnly: "I heard that you are also in Ningbo. I am very happy. I mustered up the courage to try my luck. I didn't expect you to come."

Luo Zhi was dumbfounded, how could she answer these words?
These old classmates in Sheng Huainan are really suitable to stay in the laboratory, but please don't come out, she cursed.

She changed her mind, raised her head and grinned heartlessly.

"It's a pity that Sheng Huainan has something to do temporarily, otherwise he must be very happy to see you. It's not easy to meet old classmates when you are abroad."

Qin Shuning smiled brightly, without revealing the slightest bit of loss or surprise.

"It's not easy. And I think it will be difficult for me to see you and him in the future. There is no reason to meet. I have a normal relationship with him, and you don't know me."

Luo Zhi quietly chewed on the meaning of this sentence, but did not respond for a while.

Qin Shuning poured himself a glass of sake, raised it up to salute Luo Zhi: "I know I'm presumptuous, so I punish myself with a glass."

He tilted his neck up and drank it down, pointing the bottom of the wine glass towards Luo Zhi, to show that he had drunk it all.This action surprised Luo Zhi——Sheng Huainan ran business all the year round in the early days of his business, and he didn't hold a lot of alcohol. He even took Luo Zhi to practice with him. Later, when he became more comfortable, he would explain to her the "wine table" in various places like a treasure when chatting. culture".However, many of Luo Zhi's classmates rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with occasions where they drank, and it was very rare for someone like Qin Shuning to do this habitually.

"Do you drink a lot?" she asked.

Qin Shuning shook his head, then nodded again.
