Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 12
Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Sheng Huainan raised his head to look at the menu on the wall, and happened to meet Luo Zhi's wry smile.

It happened that a large row of seats next to Jake was vacant, and the boy who yelled just now led a girl in pink to sit there, and turned to greet the other two couples.Only Sheng Huainan stood there looking at Luo Zhi and smiling.

"What a coincidence." He came over.

Luo Zhi unconsciously touched her earlobe, lowered her head and smiled, "Yes. I'll bring my younger siblings to play."

"The second brother, the fifth child, and the sixth child in our dormitory came with their wives and younger brothers and sisters, and dragged me here too. Where are your younger brothers and sisters sitting?"

Luo Zhi pointed it out to him, and found that the boy who yelled just now was talking to Jake.

It happened to be her turn to buy things at this time.After she ordered, she returned to her seat with the plate.With an ice cream cone in each hand, Sheng Huainan followed her and handed it to the two children.

"Here, your ice cream."

The two children glanced at Luo Zhi, Luo Zhi nodded, so they took it, raised their heads and nodded politely at Sheng Huainan: "Thank you, brother."

"Don't eat it." The boy who didn't know who was the oldest snatched the cone Sheng Huainan handed to Jake, "I asked your name, why didn't you say anything? If you don't tell me, I won't give it to you."

Luo Zhi is helpless, this method is not bad for five-year-old children, one of them is in the fifth grade, and the other is in the sophomore year, what are they doing.

"Jake." Jake replied coldly.

"Just say no, Jack, right." The boy grinned and handed over the ice cream.

"Jake." Jake still had the same cold expression, took the ice cream and turned his face away from him.

"What?" The boy was embarrassed, the girlfriend behind him smiled a little stiffly, and wanted to say something, but there was no movement for a long time.

"Jake, his name is Jake." Luo Zhi divided the things on the dinner plate into two parts and put them in front of the two children respectively, "I'm having a fight, don't mind." She smiled at him comfortingly.

"Who's making trouble?!" Jake suddenly raised his head, staring at Luo Zhi with a flushed face.

"You." Luo Zhi said softly, looking at him with a restrained smile.The child was the winner of the eye contact, and after a few seconds, he lowered his head and muttered.

"Eat first, don't be self-willed, I will take you to play with the big balloon floating on the water that I saw on the road." Luo Zhi patted him on the shoulder lightly.

Jake still awkwardly picked up the fork.

Luo Zhi has been watching his battle with the Filipino maid and his younger sister with cold eyes for the past six months, and has mastered countless tricks, so it is naturally easy to subdue him.After all, the best way to deal with a child is not to pester him.

Sheng Huainan interjected at the right time.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Luo Zhi, my high school classmate, now in our school's School of Economics. This is my fifth brother and younger brother, sixth brother and younger sister in my dormitory, second brother and... oh, second sister-in-law went out to fight. The phone call. In short, the three long-distance couples, they came to Beijing to play during the holidays, and they happened to come to Happy Valley together."

"What a coincidence." Luo Zhi smiled.

There were two children between her seat and them, but Luo Zhi vaguely heard that several people gathered together and were teasing Sheng Huainan and Luo Zhi.As long as they see single men and women say a few words, everyone can laugh and joke with ambiguous faces, most of the time it is just to warm up the scene and find topics.

Tiffany's mouth was never idle during meals, and while Luo Zhi answered her weird questions, she always remembered to bring Jake into the conversation.

Luo Zhi vaguely felt that at home, Jake had always been unlikable.

"Why are your younger siblings in Beijing?" Suddenly, Sheng Huainan stood behind her.

"Actually, I'm their governess."

Sheng Huainan was very curious: "Oh, what are you teaching?"

"English, math, violin, storytelling, reciting Tang poems, and watching Tiffany's private wardrobe fashion show and... walking the dog." Luo Zhi felt a little embarrassed at the end.

He smiled, looking at her with twinkling eyes.She wiped the corners of her mouth with a facial tissue in a panic, did she eat it all over her face?

"Playing with you this afternoon, don't you mind?"

Luo Zhi looked at the other noisy people, and frowned slightly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to play together."

"I mean, just me, with you guys."

She looked up at him in surprise, Sheng Huainan spread his hands, and said helplessly, "It's very six plus one, more painful than I imagined."

Luo Zhi smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, she lowered her head and asked Jake, "Let's take this brother with us this afternoon, shall we?"

The moment Jake turned around to look at him, Sheng Huainan showed a harmless smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and Luo Zhi was also a little dumbfounded. Jake didn't refuse, nodded coolly and said, "No problem."

Saying goodbye to the gossiping crowd, Sheng Huainan put his hands in his pockets and asked Tiffany with a smile, "Where do you want to go next?"

Tiffany buried her little head in the map. After a while, she raised her head and said loudly, "'Flying Ants' hasn't played yet. Too many people lined up just now."

Luo Zhi raised her head to look at the turntable with many small chairs hung by ropes, and breathed a sigh of relief, very well, this grown-up can also play.

However, Jake, who has never spoken, suddenly said stubbornly: "Childish. I want to play 'Sun God Car'."

The sun chariot, Luo Zhi smiled, it was that big frisbee that was always swinging in the sky, the place where the audience screamed the most.

Tiffany shouted: "No, brother, that's terrible!"

"You're annoying. You play your game and I play mine."

The scene suddenly froze, Tiffany pursed her lips, and the "Golden Doudou" fell one by one.

"I knew my brother didn't want me."

Turn around and run away.

Which one is this?Luo Zhi immediately raised her legs to chase after her, but Tiffany literally ran in tears.

She hugged Tiffany in her arms: "Miss, calm down."

Tiffany burst into tears, Luo Zhi hugged her with one hand, reached into the backpack with the other and tried hard to take out the facial tissue, then knelt down and wiped it carefully for her.

"My brother ignored me. I didn't go to the United States with my mother to accompany my brother. He always ignored me, saying that everyone liked me and didn't like him, that we all laughed at him, and that he was not born to his mother... "

Luo Zhi's scalp felt a little numb, she didn't want to continue this topic.

"Did my brother get into a fight with the classmates in the class, so he got angry at home?"

"No, he was unhappy at home and ran to the class to vent his anger."

Jiong, this girl is in tears, but her mind is still clear.

"My brother even quarreled with Uncle Shewen. He threw away all the things that uncle gave us. Uncle is so kind to us. My brother is just..."

Luo Zhi coaxed so much that she didn't want to inquire about anything, but her brain began to use her imagination irresponsibly.Could it be that their mother is getting remarried and the little boy is throwing tantrums because of it?
Uncle Wen... She remembered that the photo albums Tiffany showed her were basically photos of a family of three enjoying their family life, enjoying themselves all over the world.There was only one photo of her mother and a young man on the coast that made Luo Zhi very unforgettable—seeing the photo, only two words came to mind: a pair of lovers.

No intimacy, just standing side by side.The handsome man's dark gray shirt was wrinkled by the sea breeze, but Tiffany's mother had short hair, leaning against the railing, her white skirt fluttering, smudged by the setting sun, she was not as beautiful as a mortal woman.

Tiffany's mother told her outright before that she was divorced and was raising two children alone.

"Tiffany talks a lot and is always restless. She is smart, but she is a little smart. As for Jake, I am sorry for him. There are women everywhere in the house, and I don't have time to care about him. I rarely let him see anything, so I have developed a character. It’s a bit like little Jia Baoyu, who only played with girls when he was in school. I wanted to find a boy to be my tutor, but I’m not at home all the time, you know, it’s inconvenient after all. I hope you don’t spoil him and follow him more He is reasonable, which makes him a bit boyish. In fact, when I was in the United States, a good friend of mine once tried to change him, but failed.”

Luo Zhi recalled what Tiffany's mother had said to her.Is that good friend in the United States this uncle Shiwen?
But Luo Zhi agrees with "Jia Baoyu". Jake once clamored to hear her tell a story, and she wanted to scare him with a little scary story.

"Suddenly there was a flash of light in the woods. Marianne followed cautiously, and suddenly saw—"

"What?" Tiffany shrank her neck and dared not listen.

"It must be a fairy! (It must be a fairy!)" Jake exclaimed excitedly from the side.

Fairy...she was choked on the spot by 11-year-old Barbie-loving classmate Jake.

Luo Zhi looked thoughtfully at Tiffany, who still couldn't stop talking, and knew that the crux of the whole matter was not her, so she didn't comfort her, but just patted her on the back and let her complain, anyway, her temperament always That's right, it's good to cry.

Luo Zhi didn't want to enthusiastically figure out the ins and outs, the less she knew about her employer's affairs, the better.

Looking back, Sheng Huainan was half squatting and talking to Jake.

It seems that Luo Zhi has not fully realized the important fact that she is alone with him, and it is in this playground where love is omnipotent.

That's how they met.There are so many people in Beijing, she unexpectedly met him.She wasn't such a lucky person.

The world in Luo Zhi's eyes shakes slightly.

The autumn afternoon sun was shining on her body, and she was snuggling a beautiful little girl with red lips and white teeth in her arms, watching Sheng Huainan from a distance, with crooked eyes and smiling eyes, comforting another cool little boy with a good temper.

It seemed, like a young couple mediating disputes over their children.She had never expected such a scene.

I don't know how long he stared stupidly, Sheng Huainan seemed to feel her gaze, and turned to look at her.Luo Zhi hurriedly lowered her head, her ears seemed to be scorched by flames, and she knew what color it was without looking in a mirror.

She seldom blushes, but when she is shy, her ears will turn red immediately.

"Luo Zhi, how about this, you take the two of them to play Flying Ants first, and I will line up for Jake's sun car. I estimate that I will queue for more than an hour. You guys can see if there are any small events you want to play. , You can come to me after all the fun. Call me."

He walked over and said to Luo Zhi, but there was a narrow smile in his eyes, as if laughing at her embarrassment just now.

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and asked Jake, "Are you okay?"

Jake nodded meekly.

"Then go and apologize to my sister."

Jake returned to his original shyness and coyness. Under Sheng Huainan's repeated encouragement, he came over and said to Tiffany, "Don't cry, I was wrong."

"What did you tell him?" Luo Zhi tilted her head and asked Sheng Huainan.

"Our man's secret, isn't it?" He looked down at Jake and smiled, ghostly.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." She felt a little sorry.

"You're welcome, go play Flying Ants, I'm going to line up."

Luo Zhi took Tiffany with her left hand and Jake with her right hand, walked a few steps forward, looked back hesitantly, Sheng Huainan's back was still very conspicuous in the crowd.

Sheng Huainan also turned around suddenly, meeting her gaze.

Her head buzzed and she smiled carelessly in his direction, then turned around and hurried forward.

He never looked back.She followed suit for three years in high school, and he had never looked back without reason like this.

"Juno, do you like big brother?" Tiffany peeked at her mother-in-law before she wiped away her tears.

Luo Zhi didn't scold her for talking too much, but asked in a daze, "Huh? Is it that obvious?"

"Your hands are sweating." Tiffany smiled wickedly.

Jake let out a long breath from the side, looking at them both with contempt.

"Boring woman."
