Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 21
The oolong incident has been raging for quite a while.

In fact, the cause was that a person Chen Mohan fell in love with deeply hurt her self-esteem.She said in front of that person: "You misunderstood, I don't like you, but I actually have a boyfriend."

Chen Mohan really has the ability to concoct a devoted boyfriend in 10 minutes.

She has read a lot of Yishu books, but in essence she is very Taiwanese novels.

Maybe it was justifiable, but Belle would never know if that story was touching enough to make her forgive Chen Mohan.

Gobi didn't go to school for a week, and Chen Mohan and Jiang Baili's seats were moved.

Later Gobi came back.

When he looked at Chen Mohan, he had a straight face, and when he looked at other girls, he was contemptuous, but when he looked at Belle, he was enthusiastic.

It's passion, not love.

That look translates to: Thank you, what a buddy.

For a period of time from that day on, Belle was inseparable from him.We went to the cafeteria to eat together, and met many of his buddies.She was isolated by the girls, and she also knew that everyone was laughing at her and Chen Mohan behind their backs. For a frivolous man that Chen Mohan didn't know if he wanted it, a pair of girlfriends turned against each other.Some people laughed that Chen Mohan deserved to have no friends, while others laughed that Jiang Baili and Gobi were born to be one-on-one.

Although Belle is annoyed that her life is no longer peaceful, and she doesn't like to be pointed at, she is clear and smooth in her heart.Chen Mohan shattered the perfect mask in her heart, she didn't have to suffer anymore, and she didn't have to worry about inferiority anymore.

It turns out we are all the same.She finally faced Chen Mohan and herself.

Although when facing Chen Mohan, Belle still insisted that she was only out of a sense of justice, and was not the exclusive suitor who coveted him as the rumors said.At least she didn't lie completely, Belle didn't pursue Gobi, she was very self-aware and conscientiously fulfilled her duty as a good buddy, and never interfered with Gobi's overflowing love luck.

It's just that she didn't say that it was love that made her sense of justice burn.

On Christmas, she also wrote on the greeting card she gave him: "May you have similar flowers every year, but different people every year."

Even if the life in Gobi is full of peach blossoms, even if he never forgives Chen Mohan, he still loves her.

Maybe it was because he loved her that he couldn't forgive.

But after all, Belle is young and loves him, how can she stay calm forever?On the eve of the college entrance examination, everyone was irritable, and so was Belle.When someone who didn't know who was his first peach blossom walked up to her to persuade her to be more sensible and not to pester Gobi, she finally stopped shrugging and saying the words "I'm just his ordinary friend" and "I'm just his ordinary friend" that nobody believed. He loves someone else", but raised his face to look at the other person and said, "What's the point? If he doesn't like me, what's the use of pestering him? I think you should know this better than me."

And when she opened her mouth, God actually made her the center of attention.On the stairs, Chen Mohan went downstairs, Gobi went upstairs, and a group of students from the class at the corner walked over talking and laughing, as if the director had arranged their positions.

Seeing Gobi, the girl asked him aggressively, "Did you hear that? You like her? Is that how you three turned against each other?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the scene was quite silent for ten seconds.

Gobi glanced at the girl and said coldly, "Get lost."

Chen Mohan glanced at Belle, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Belle stood on the periphery, watching one of them continue to go upstairs and the other to go downstairs. When they passed each other, they seemed to be clips carefully edited out of a movie. The people around inside are disheveled and hideous.

Although Gobi didn't answer that question, but the sentence "Get out" threw a hot riddle to the opposite girl. No one paid attention to Belle's self-indulgent boast just now, but they all looked at the peach blossom girl who was making fun of herself.

Maybe she should thank Gobi, but she knew that the whole thing was not the point for her.

Later, Gobi really didn't allow her to pester him anymore.

She could have appeared beside him carelessly and said to him: "No, you really think I like you. I just did it as a stopgap measure so that she wouldn't bother me. After all, my existence was used as a shield to help you solve the problem. No matter how many questions you have, you don’t want me to be angry with them in order to protect my rights? Hey, hey, Gobi, can you stop being narcissistic?”

She didn't.

The college entrance examination is coming, and she is too tired to hide it.

However, that scene was too chaotic, and she was not reconciled, so she sent a text message and said solemnly: "I like you."

Her confession must be more formal.

A text message every day, only one sentence: "I like you."

If it's morning, add "good morning" and if it's evening, add "good night".

Jiang Baili never knew what Gobi's expression would be when he received a text message saying "Good luck, come on, I like you" before entering the examination room.

He never replied.When she returned to her small county town, she didn't say goodbye to him, nor did she hear any news from him.

Jiang Baili has always been a lucky person. She actually scored higher in the college entrance examination than Gobi, and successfully entered P University.

Everyone has a good home. For example, she and Gobi entered P University, and Chen Mohan also passed the admission line of W University for minor languages.

Belle has taken texting as a pleasure and has developed a habit, so that now she can’t remember whether there were any strange signs that she didn’t notice before August 8rd. After playing for a day, I remembered that my phone was left at home at night, and there was a text message:
"it is good."

What good?She stared at Gobi's text message, and it took her a long time to react, she couldn't believe it.The sweetness overflowed slowly from the bottom of her heart, and she had already missed the best time to scream.

And they have been together for more than a year, which is so ordinary and profound.

Maybe Gobi doesn't love her with all his heart.But not love at all?It seems not.She doesn't know.The only thing she knew was that Jiang Baili was the only one in this world who could burn fully and with a clear conscience.

She asked him many times: "Do you love me?" He never answered directly.This avoidance was unpleasant, but it didn't make her sad enough to leave him.

He has always been able to evade with all kinds of strange answers.The most emotional time was at the end of his freshman year, after he successfully ran for the association minister, many people at the celebration party bullied him, and he finally got a little drunk, and he kept holding on to Belle to say "thank you".Everyone said he should thank her.She put all her heart and soul into his campaign, canvassing votes, making posters, gaining connections to spy on the enemy, polishing speeches, accompanying him to choose suits, and helping him rehearse timing...

When everyone was gone, he hugged her from behind and put his chin in the hollow of her shoulder. She felt itchy on her shoulders and heart.Don't people tell the truth after drinking?She immediately asked softly: "Gobi, do you love me?"

Gobi smiled vaguely, she smelled beer.Pointing to the giant "M" sign visible from the lobby window, Gobi said, "We're like McDonald's and KFC, together forever."

She laughed, but tears rolled down her face.Yes, as long as there is a KFC place, there must be a McDonald's nearby.They are together forever.

But at that time, she forgot that after drinking, people not only tell the truth, but also talk nonsense.

Gobi is KFC, so Chen Mohan is finger-licking original chicken, and she is just some kind of embellishment dish that is launched every season, such as seasonal vegetables or cod sticks-she will be replaced sooner or later, and customers will not even find out.But KFC wouldn't be KFC without the original finger-licking chicken.

Belle continues to persevere, and they may be together forever.

If I hadn't seen an email in Gobi's mailbox yesterday.

I once said it would be better for us to be together, but you said, the word "not as good" hurt you more deeply than the first time I regretted it.I finally understand now, I repent, I apologize, I let go of those unnecessary self-esteem, however, will you turn back?I know I'm despicable, but without me, without your anger, would she be happy today?
Only now does Jiang Baili know that Gobi agreed to her 10086-style harassing confession only because Chen Mohan's sentence "Since you don't give up, why don't we stay together" completely angered him.Her love affair was just an act of anger between them.

And Gobi’s reply to Chen Mohan’s email was only one sentence:
I can't be sorry for her.

"You said, does this count as betraying me?" Belle tapped her finger on the table, as if to call back Luo Zhi's soul.

"I'm listening." Luo Zhi glanced at her restless fingers lightly.

"But, he said so, why do I still feel so unwilling?" Belle asked.

"Because what you want to hear is not a sentence of "I can't be sorry for her" that is suspected of being cheap and playful, but what you want to hear is him saying: "I used to be young and ignorant, but now that's all gone, and the one I love now It's Jiang Baili, please think about it and wish you happiness." Luo Zhi smiled wryly.

Belle listened quietly, without speaking for a long time, as if she had talked too much just now and wanted to rest now.

They can already see the sunset outside the window.

It was getting dark earlier and earlier.

Belle's worthless tears fell again.

"It is said that the tears of the merman will become precious gemstones when they fall, and can be sold for a lot of money. I really hate you for not entrusting this species."

"Can't you say something else? Something comforting and warm?" Belle smiled reluctantly.

"All the words that can be called comforting are mostly nonsense."

"What about the suggestion?"

"You don't know how to listen, and you don't know how to do it."

"Even if I can't do it, it's okay to talk about it."

Luo Zhi looked up at her wearily as if she was obsessed with her.

After a while, he said softly, "Let's break up."

In the evening, Luo Zhi, who was sitting in Tiffany's study and watching the child recite ancient poems, remembered what the other party asked her after she and Belle walked out of KFC.

"If you were me, would you break up?"

"I don't love him, how could it be you? How could I be considerate of you? Everything I say is fart. If I were you, people would only reply with the word 'yes' instead of 'I like you too' to my confession, I would I won't start with him at all!"

Belle blew her nose, "I've been entangled to this day, and I'm really bored. If you look at it from the side, you'll die laughing."

"I forgive you," Luo Zhi shrugged, "Who made you love watching Taiwanese novels?" After a pause, he added, "Although the little white heroine is stupid, her life is good. I hope your life is good too. "

Belle looked at her gratefully: "But what if I am Xiaobai but not the heroine?"

For the first time, Luo Zhi rolled her eyes when Belle choked on her.

"That's right." When the two were about to separate, Luo Zhi suddenly called out to Belle.

"how?"

"The next time you tell a story to others, talk less about your progress and more about the good things you have done this year. At least be the protagonist in your own world once, even if it's a bitter drama, it's better than being an audience .”

It's better than being a spectator.Luo Zhi thought of her diary in her third year of high school.

Her pride is fully reflected in the small details, for example, no matter what, only Sheng Huainan's name is in her diary, and as for the people around him, she doesn't seem to have written anything about him.
