Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 75 I Heard About You

They took a taxi to No. 101 Middle School, sneaked across the playground, and found the weak spot mentioned in the BBS night raid guide.

Luo Zhi carefully raised her right leg and stepped over, and finally sat on a high wall.The night wind messed up her forehead hair, she took a deep breath, a sharp tingling sensation swelled in her chest, this precarious feeling made her feel empty, the night under her feet was like a deep dark river, she accidentally Will fall in and be washed away by time.

Sheng Huainan flipped over in a few strokes, and his movements were much lighter and neater than hers.When Luo Zhi was climbing up clumsily and timidly just now, Sheng Huainan had been supporting her under the fence, and finally pushed her butt up hard.As soon as Luo Zhi blushed, she activated her super energy, rushed up like a rocket, and escaped his support.

"It doesn't feel bad to ride on the wall." He slapped the bulging schoolbag on his back fiercely—it contained a few cans of beer and a bottle of Red Star Erguotou bought in advance.

At the "7-11" (convenience store), Luo Zhi picked up Rio (a cocktail brand) and a frosted bottle of Japanese sake and shook it at him.Sheng Huainan shook his head disdainfully, and directly picked up a bottle of Erguotou: "If you want to drink, you can drink strong ones, those are nothing."

Luo Zhi sneered in her heart, and put the sake back into the freezer calmly.

Drink strong?Just keep your mouth shut.

Under the overly bright light of "7-11", when she took off the beer, she saw the mirror behind the bottle, and there was a girl with pale lips, red cheeks and nose, and a pair of shining eyes Excited and persistent light——she quickly turned her head away.

She was afraid that such a calm light would tease her short memory and dry up her courage for mischief.

"Here," Sheng Huainan handed over a can of beer as soon as he walked out of the "7-11", "If you have no problem, why not drink a can to warm up and warm up your stomach first."

Luo Zhi hesitated for a moment, then took it over and pulled the ring open.

They stood opposite each other at the door of "7-11", their necks raised, and they each finished a can.Luo Zhi squinted at the astonished clerk behind the glass, and quickly closed her eyes.

"I'll go down first." Sheng Huainan stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the dazed Luo Zhi, "Going down may be a little harder than going up, so I'll go down first and cover you under the fence. If you really fall At most, it will kill me, so...so don't take advantage of others' danger, and be merciful."

Luo Zhi was amused by him: "Be careful."

"This height is nothing." Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and withdrew his left leg to go down.Before Luo Zhi could react, when he was more than one meter above the ground, he let go and jumped down, landing firmly on the ground.

"Come down," Sheng Huainan patted the ashes on his hands, "Slow down, don't scratch your palms. You didn't wear gloves, did you?"

Luo Zhi closed her eyes and swallowed her saliva, then put her left leg over the fence first, and sat facing the Old Summer Palace for a while, but realized that if she jumped like this, she would fall face down, so she took the trouble to change her sitting position to face her back. In Yuanmingyuan, two legs were hanging outside the wall. After thinking about it, I realized that this was even more wrong.She was a little impatient, wondering if Sheng Huainan under the wall was getting impatient, the cold wind hit her forehead, and she realized that she was sweating.

In the end, she knelt on the wall with her back facing the Old Summer Palace, her feet hooked to the wall, her hands tightly grasping the stone, maintaining a weak balance.

"Luo Zhi, just keep this posture, put your feet on the wall, slide down slowly, if you can't hold on anymore, just jump off. I'm right below, don't be afraid."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded in a panic. Thinking that the other party could not see her, she suppressed her crying and said, "I know, I'm not afraid." down.

"Oh, you were really stupid in your last life." Sheng Huainan held her arm tightly from behind, hugged her in his arms, and rubbed her hair vigorously after making sure she was fine, "Okay, okay, It finally came down."

Luo Zhi lowered her head in embarrassment and said stiffly: "I haven't climbed over the wall, and I have experience when I climb over the wall when I go out."

Sheng Huainan laughed loudly: "I won't turn over when I go out, I think I'd better take you to the security guard and surrender."

Luo Zhi gritted her teeth and hugged his arm, like a cat in the water hugging a piece of driftwood, wishing to dig its paws in.

One after the other, they silently walked deeper into the garden along the narrow dirt road along the lakeshore.If it weren't for a full moon hanging in the sky, this kind of dark deserted garden might be invisible.On the left side of the path is a wide lake, and on the right side are cluttered shrubs, and the barren branches with fangs and claws add a bit of horror to the night.

On the contrary, the surface of the lake, because it was frozen, was illuminated by the moon and stretched all the way to an invisible distance.

"Are you sure you can find the Dashui method?" She put the hat on the back of the jacket over her head, her ears were already red from the cold, and she couldn't help looking up at the boy walking in front with some worry.His ears were illuminated by the moonlight, and they were also glowing red.

"What's that? What I'm looking for are those Western-style broken walls that are often used as sets on TV."

"That thing is called Dashui method, thank you."

"...What's the use of remembering these!"

This kind of unreasonable, outraged look - a strange feeling rose in her heart, Luo Zhi tilted her head and smiled, and unconsciously took on a somewhat narrow tone.

"Hey, are those rumors in high school true?"

"What rumor?"

"For example, you never memorize ancient poems, and every time you fill in the blanks of five-point ancient poems in the Chinese test, you lose points for nothing, and you don't write a single word, do you?"

Sheng Huainan's back stiffened, and he muttered a few words before saying: "The input-output ratio is too small. After memorizing it for a long time, I only got five points, and there are so many articles. I may not win the bid for the part I memorized. Why bother? You might as well get some sleep."

That tone made Luo Zhi want to reach out and rub his face.

"Then... Then they said that your teacher forced you to memorize the texts of new concepts, and you memorized the fourth volume backwards within a week..."

"Who said that? It's so ridiculous, the teacher was just joking. I never memorized the new concept, and my impression of it stayed on 'Pardon (forgive)'. Oh, and the first lesson of the third book The title, what 'A puma at large (the escaping puma)' of..."

Luo Zhi listened in a daze, but couldn't help but laugh, what the hell, she had to recite the whole book.

She didn't know whether to continue asking.Although she knew that he was only a body of flesh and blood, but in the description and imagination day after day, he was still the god she created, shining in the rumors and hearing.

However, she prefers this kind of him, who is not impregnable, not amazingly talented, but with a little arrogance, saying that he is ordinary and unimportant.

She really liked that he made himself ordinary and unimportant.

"Actually, I have a lot of questions to ask you."

The person in front froze, then continued to move forward: "What?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just something unimportant."

unimportant things.She asked slowly behind him, how many times did he take bus 122 home from high school, whether he was thrown into the air by excited classmates after the game but failed to catch him, whether it hurt when he fell, and Does he often avoid sweeping...

He didn't get impatient, he answered each one softly, and sometimes shouted shyly: "Don't ask, I don't remember"...

"Last question, why do you always smell like washing powder?" It smells good.

"Maybe it's because the laundry is always dirty..."

She froze for a moment, then smirked.It was so.

"Is this what you heard at the beginning?" It was his turn to ask.

Luo Zhi lowered her head and smiled, not knowing what it was like.

"Actually, I heard a lot about you when I was in the freshman year of high school. A large part of it was thanks to my back desk. By the way, do you know her? Her name is Zhang Haomiao. She used to go to the same cram school as you. Still sitting at the same table."

Sheng Huainan slightly turned his face to the side and looked back, with a blank expression on his face: "Who?"

Luo Zhi was dumb.

The two chattering girls at the back table always spread out their love for Sheng Huainan openly and frankly.How could Luo Zhi know that for a crush, keeping silent is a form of self-protection, but hiding one's sincerity in a playful and exaggerated show of love for others to joke about is actually a safe way of venting.

Everyone thought they were joking, but no one knew that they were serious.

One morning at the end of the first year of high school, Luo Zhi, who skipped physical education class, saw Zhang Haomiao lying on the table behind him, smiling quietly and ecstatically, that smile was gentle and shy, but radiant.She couldn't help but also froze.Zhang Haomiao looked up and saw her staring at him, blushed, and suddenly said, "I'm telling you something, don't tell others."

They are actually unfamiliar, and Luo Zhi is not very interested in this kind of "don't tell others" secret.However, her intuition told her that day that this was what she wanted to know.

"Okay, you say."

"Don't laugh at me, I just suddenly discovered that Sheng Huainan is indeed a very good person."

Luo Zhi even raised her eyebrows, showing a full set of expressions ranging from bewildered "Who is Sheng Huainan" to sudden realization.She didn't know what she was faking.

"When we were in English class last night, I was a little distracted and I was playing with the eraser, but the eraser accidentally flew out and fell at his feet, and then he smiled, it's that kind of... …It’s that kind of helpless and gentle smile, bent down to help me pick it up, and said, be careful.”

Luo Zhi waited quietly, only to find that Zhang Haomiao had finished speaking.

"End?"

"It's over."

"...What's the matter?"

Zhang Haomiao gave her an angry look, stood up abruptly and went out, leaving Luo Zhi alone in embarrassment.She really thought so in her heart, what's the matter—but she really wanted to stop the other party and say, actually, I understand.

Actually I understand, really.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Huainan stopped, and turned to look at Luo Zhi who was dawdling.

Luo Zhi was wandering in her mind, so she quickly added a smile: "It's nothing, let's go."

He didn't remember Zhang Haomiao, the fat girl sitting next to him in the cram school, the one who had been lamenting for a whole year that the lectures in the competition cram school were like a bible, but she was always reluctant to drop out of the class, and she had to go across most of the northern city to go to class just to sit The nympho girl beside him...

Her name is Zhang Haomiao, he doesn't remember.

Her name was Luo Zhi, and he didn't remember it before.

But what's so sad about that?If these forbearing likings are just for self-entertainment, then they have already been compensated; if the purpose is to get them, then each depends on his ability and fate, so why should he bear it?
From the beginning of the acquaintance to this moment, her ups and downs heart finally condensed into a snow-white under the moonlight like the lake around her.

Luo Zhi suddenly laughed.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Huainan finally stopped and turned around. Against the moonlight, he turned into a silhouette in front of her eyes.

"I found that I seemed to have changed a little bit."

She strode in front of him, then turned around and walked backwards, so that she could see Sheng Huainan's confused and nervous expression by the moonlight.

"I seem to have figured it out, or in other words, I have always been able to figure it out before, but my heart," she raised her right hand and made a cross on her left chest with her index finger, "my heart is always blocked. I don't know why I sad."

"But now," she smiled, "I find that I am neither regretful nor angry nor aggrieved."

He looked at her quietly.

"Did I drink too much?" She rubbed her nose.

"Probably not."

"I feel like I've had too much to drink."

He turned his hand and patted the schoolbag behind him: "Great, let's drink more quickly."

Luo Zhi was amused, her white teeth gleamed softly under the moonlight.Sheng Huainan stretched out his hand to rub her head, his movements slowed down, and his gaze gradually focused on the jade belt-like lake.

"what happened?"

After a while, Sheng Huainan looked away and looked at her: "Sometimes I'm really scared, afraid that I'm different from what you've heard."

Luo Zhi raised her eyes, and suddenly realized that they were not the only people "smuggled into the country" here. Kongming lanterns floated in the sky in the distance, and the little flames gradually melted into the dark sky.She didn't know where to start, those "hearings" were not just superficial admiration and admiration for legends.However, she instinctively felt that she understood his fear.

But she didn't know how to let him understand that she wasn't just hearing about it.

When they were "good friends", she used countless half-truths to make him feel that they were so similar-she used a smile to express all unhappy emotions; she liked Agatha Christie more than Sherlock Holmes; Every time I take the bus, I choose to sit in the same seat; I like to play "Ace Attorney"; I hate fat meat, and I will put it on the stool rung; I eat with three chopsticks; when I was in high school, I went to school every Friday night Bringing lots of workbooks home for the weekend to ease the guilt, but getting so caught up in online manga that I bring them back intact on Monday...

However, these encounters are all fake.Maybe she used lies to impress him, but the reasons why she liked him were never these.Through the smoke created by these pleasant conversations, she knew the unhappiness in Sheng Huainan's heart.It was a smiling unhappiness that didn't trust anyone or care about anyone's loneliness.Even though she didn't understand the reason, she knew it from the first time she saw the boy who was chatting with some classmates and smirking at the station.

However, she doesn't want to talk about it.

"What I've heard about you is probably different from what others have heard."

Luo Zhi looked at the Kongming Lantern far away, wondering whose hope it was carrying, it floated softly into the night sky, extinguished, and flew away.Her own wish is not in the paper lantern, but it will not go out.At the moment of giving up on the destination that she had been cautious about but could never reach, Hu Tianhe made a fuss and saw him standing in front of her—she wouldn't take another step back.

"I don't want to 'hear' any more, I just want to hear what you say. Even if you tell lies, I can still understand the truth." Luo Zhi looked directly into Sheng Huainan's eyes solemnly.

He looked at her, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming emotion.
