Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 86 How Much Time Do You Give Me?

"Are you at home?"

Luo Zhi was sitting on the window sill, thinking wildly, when the phone vibrated suddenly, and Sheng Huainan's name jumped up and down on the screen, like a letter from an angel.

"I'm in Zhenhua."

She was hesitating what to do if he asked her why she came to Zhenhua, since she had promised Ye Zhanyan, she would not share this conversation.

The short message came back quickly.

"wait for me."

Luo Zhi sat on the balcony for a while, her back was warmed by the sun.

She heard that they broke up a year ago, and she heard gossip from many people, but the reason she pieced together in the end was very common.

Like all long-distance relationship breakups, time and distance are underestimated, and self and love are overestimated.

Sheng Huainan's traces on the Internet have always been pitiful and unpredictable; Ye Zhanyan's online image has always been active and happy, as if he had become an active member in the student union, like a water bird that has finally escaped from a high school cage Not a single splash was made on her page, and no one thought she was hurt.

On the plane home, Luo Zhi did ask him.

"I haven't seen her for a holiday. Since she went to college, she has become very strange. She has good and bad moods and behaves very badly. When I asked why, she didn't say anything. She seemed to be holding back a wave of emotions and ignored me. , always said that the student union is very busy. She sent a text message and said, "Let's break up". I hesitated for a while, thinking that she has always been a talkative person, and she would not make jokes about such things, so I replied, " Well, take care'."

"End?"

"It's over."

"My heart...isn't it uncomfortable?"

Sheng Huainan seriously recalled this time: "Compared with discomfort, it is more inexplicable."

"I never asked why?"

He was surprised: "Why bother?"

Luo Zhi stroked her forehead, not knowing exactly what kind of answer she wanted.She wanted him to be an affectionate person, but she didn't want him to be affectionate to his ex-girlfriend. It was really contradictory.

Luo Zhi looked at the time, guessed that Sheng Huainan was coming soon, so she jumped off the window sill and went downstairs.

When she arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the teaching building, she stood in front of the honor roll and looked up.

Another batch of photos of top students with excellent grades were pasted all over the wall. In the enlarged ID photo, everyone had a solemn face, as upright as a printed type.

Who would have imagined how youthful and aggressive the owners of these photos, which are as solemn as middle-aged people, are when they smile?Who knows what secrets are hidden behind every smile, buried in this school.

Just like Ye Zhanyan, there are so many stories and panic in her heart, but she never told the boy she likes.She knew what kind of character she had to make him move, so she played it harder to strengthen the reason for being loved.

"Ye Zhanyan likes me like a designer bag." Sheng Huainan once said when he was in a hurry.

Luo Zhi felt that Sheng Huainan underestimated Ye Zhanyan's contribution.She may need the perfect boyfriend, but vanity and love don't always have to be in conflict.Instead of comparing it with a brand-name bag, it is better to say that she loves him like a crystal loves spotlights.

Then he loves her because he fell in love with a book with a beautiful cover, but he never opened it.

Sheng Huainan appeared at this time.Luo Zhi came back to her senses, heard the footsteps behind her, resisted not turning her head, until he held her in his arms from behind, then lowered her head, smiling like a little mouse stealing oil.

"Hey, let me ask you," she said before him, "Why did you hold Ye Zhanyan's hand during the New Year?"

The person holding her froze for a moment, and then said weakly for a long time: "I said we had no chance. She said, can you hold hands and walk down the street for the last time? I didn't dare to do it in school before."

Luo Zhi's heart was soft, and she sighed that something had nothing to do with her.

"Okay. But not from now on," she whispered.

The person behind suddenly smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"Teacher, it's her I'm looking for!" He turned around and yelled towards the distant mail room, pulling her over.Before the smile on Luo Zhi's face faded, she saw the surprised expression of the Chinese teacher on duty.

"Oh, so you two..." The Chinese teacher's loud voice echoed in the empty hall, Luo Zhi was at a loss for what to do with embarrassment, but Sheng Huainan put his arms around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Do you match well, teacher?"

"Good match for what?" The Chinese teacher suddenly got excited, "Look at Luo Zhi's grades, and then look at yourself, your papers back then almost gave me a heart attack..."

"You're not talented enough," his rascally tone injected vitality into Luo Zhi's gloomy mood, "so I found a girlfriend who is good at Chinese, so I have the nerve to come back to school to see you.

She couldn't help smiling, and the Chinese teacher was so angry that he gasped: "Isn't that what I taught too?!"

"That's why I came to thank you. Without you as a teacher, I can't find a girlfriend until now."

Luo Zhi was in a daze, and all the faces on the honor roll seemed to be smiling because of his nonsense.

The boy standing beside her, hugging her tightly.

She just stood aside silently, watching him quarreling with the Chinese teacher who had always been unable to do anything about him, and she didn't feel sorry for the composition model essays that he used as calculation paper back then.

The sun is just right.

Luo Zhi's mother had asked her several times about her boyfriend, but she had used various methods to prevaricate her, only saying that she was trying to get along with each other, that the relationship was not confirmed yet, that she was a college classmate, a very nice person, majored in science and engineering, very honest.

My mother was suspicious, but she gradually stopped asking questions.

On New Year's Eve, Uncle Chen also came to her house for a New Year's Eve dinner.When it was close to midnight, she hid in the cold balcony, shivering from the cold, and called him tremblingly.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year." His voice was joyful, but a little tired.

"what happened?"

He smiled: "Did you hear that? It's just that my parents had a big fight on New Year's Eve, and I was tired of persuading them just now. I'm fine."

Every time he mentioned mom and dad, she didn't know what to say.

Sheng Huainan didn't mind, and changed the subject by himself: "After the new year, let's go to the library to read books together. The city library doesn't need a library card now, and it is open for reading and self-study. I guess there are few people these days. I want to recite words. , can you accompany me?"

"Of course," she said softly, "go to bed early."

"thanks for stay with me."

"Why are you so out of touch?"

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

"Wait a moment!"

"doing what?"

"Kiss me."

Luo Zhi was embarrassed: "...what?"

"Kiss me." He was like a spoiled child, naive but stubborn.Luo Zhi's ears turned red from the cold, and the palms holding the phone were actually sweating.

"Mua!" Her heart thumped, and she made a very sensual kissing sound.

She didn't even know if he could hear the kiss amidst the deafening firecrackers outside.

He should have heard it.Because he said: "Luo Zhi, I like you so much."

In the reading room, Luo Zhi finally picked out two movie pictorials and sat down.Sheng Huainan was opposite, stretching out his legs from under the wide table to kick her shoes.Luo Zhi looked up, and saw that he was frowning tightly, and he was reading a book very seriously.

She lowered her head and continued to look calmly, then stomped on him hard.

The person on the opposite side burst into laughter.

She was wearing a black knitted sweater with a sweetheart neckline. The brand name of the new down jacket was pasted on the back of her neck. A tissue is placed on the back of the neck to separate the skin from the logo.

"I'm going to the toilet." Sheng Huainan stood up.

After 10 minutes, Luo Zhi was staring at the introduction of "The World's Top [-] Horror Movies", enjoying it, when suddenly a chill came from her back, and the coat she was wearing was pulled away.

She looked up in shock, and saw Sheng Huainan standing behind him with a sneer, holding a pair of large black scissors, cutting the air with a click.

Luo Zhi lowered her shoulders: "It's not that easy to scare me. What are you going to do?"

Sheng Huainan looked at the calm Luo Zhi with some disappointment, took her coat back to his place, and threw his down jacket over.

"Put it on, don't freeze."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the frighteningly large pair of black iron scissors, lowered his head and opened Luo Zhi's coat, and began to use the broad scissors blades carefully to pick up the thin and dense edges of the trademark. pins.

Luo Zhi opened her mouth slightly, the temperature from the down jacket warmed her heart.

Falling in love really affected her studies. She looked at Sheng Huainan who had pushed the GRE Red Book aside, hugged his down jacket tightly, and just smirked.

"Where did you get the scissors?"

"I borrowed it from the aunt at the lending office. The aunt saw that I was handsome, so she lent it to me without saying a word."

She didn't need to look in the mirror to know she was smiling meanly.

She also stopped reading, and just stared blankly at his every movement, clumsily but cautiously.She felt that she could keep looking at it like this, and see forever.

True happiness is often fearful.At a certain moment, Luo Zhi suddenly became sad, thinking of the story on the window sill that Ye Zhanyan pretended to lead, it once made Ye Zhanyan's feelings, and also prevented her from returning.The map of fate has already been written, and the criss-cross arrangement is well-arranged, and the leading edge of cause and effect does not fall. It seems that I have held the scissors long ago, standing at the right time node, and clicking to cut off all the dreams.

Only they know nothing and naively think that they can get out of the rut.

And how much time does she have?How much time does it give them?
Sheng Huainan put in a lot of effort to pack his coat, and threw the clothes to her with an expression of "what's the big deal?" He also put away the vocabulary book and put it in his schoolbag.

"Go out and play!"

"playing what?"

"Like... setting off firecrackers?"

"Can you say that again?"

"Go! Let's set off firecrackers!"

This person is Sheng Huainan?She felt that she must have admitted the wrong person.Thinking of this, he quickly put away his things, smiled and touched his no longer itchy neck, "Let's go."

But when they bought the firecrackers and walked to a secluded back street with their bags, Sheng Huainan didn't dare to set them off.

Luo Zhi watched silently as he took the lighter he bought from a small shop, and approached the "little bee" cautiously. Because he didn't dare to get too close, he couldn't light it after several times.

"You...have never set off firecrackers, have you?"

Sheng Huainan was a little embarrassed: "That's why I wanted to come and play. When I was young, my mother was always worried, and she would never allow me to have a chance to get in touch. Besides, there are a lot of news about the death of firecrackers every year. I also cut off this Think about it."

That's why I'm so stupid now.Luo Zhi walked over, took the lighter from him, turned her head and smiled sinisterly: "Stay away, watch!"

Sheng Huainan nodded like pounding garlic.

The "little bee" spun rapidly into the air, then fell again.Luo Zhi looked at him triumphantly, as expected, those beautiful eyes were also full of pure reverence.

Once, in high school, she worked so tirelessly, hoping to have even one chance to share equal shares with him, and let him know that there is still a girl who cannot be underestimated in the world watching him silently; He set off firecrackers and was impressed by him.

Luo Zhi couldn't laugh or cry.She kicked the shriveled "little bee" with her toes, and said half-truthfully, "Man, thanks a lot."

Soon, Sheng Huainan lit the firecrackers more swiftly than her, as if to avenge his shame, he quickly wiped out the remaining firecrackers, with an expression of seeking praise, Luo Zhi pinched his cheek .

No matter how good a man is, there is always a side like a child, which is only shown to those he loves.Luo Zhi never wanted to disappoint, let alone be surprised or disappointed by it.

Every time she sees his childish side, she always feels tenderness in her heart, she wants to protect this side well, use her own strength to preserve this innocence, even if the man's arm is like a cart, she must try to fight against cruelty time.

He hugged her from behind, and the two of them swayed forward together, walking along the deserted street, stepping on the bright red firecracker crumbs, not knowing where they were going.

"Sometimes I really worry that you will find that I am not as good as you think."

Luo Zhi smiled, knowing that he couldn't see from behind.

"You said, what if one day you find out that I'm dead?"

She wondered: "Which aspect?"

Sheng Huainan's body froze suddenly, and he said after a while, "Dirty."

Luo Zhi was at a loss, and it took a long time before she slowly understood, she gritted her teeth and said, "Who is obscene? Sure enough, he sees what is in his heart!"

It took Sheng Huainan a long time to restrain the urge to bite her, and explained lightly: "I mean, if one day, I will no longer be the Sheng Huainan you liked at the beginning."

Luo Zhizai thought carefully, and was not in a hurry to confess anything.

"I remember Monken saying: 'A man expresses love by bragging, and a woman expresses love by listening. And once a woman's intelligence grows to a certain level, it is almost difficult for her to find a husband, because when she listens, There must be a mocking voice inside.'”

She recited it word by word seriously, and Sheng Huainan suddenly stopped, turned her shoulders, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Thank you, I can feel at ease now."

"why?"

"Obviously your intelligence hasn't grown to the point where you can mock me."

Luo Zhi didn't even roll her eyes, she laughed angrily at his complacent look.

"To be honest, I really like to see you seriously saying some famous quotes from famous people that I don't want to hear at all." He unzipped the down jacket and wrapped her whole body in a warm embrace.

She wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Why are you asking me that question?"

"I don't know, I just suddenly flustered. I don't know what you like about me, and I'm still worried about it. If one day I'm no longer the Sheng Huainan you admire, what should I do?"

"As long as you are still who you are now, even if you lose your reputation because of certain things tomorrow, and everyone betrays you, I may be happier, because in this way, only I like you."

"Really?"

"fake."

"fake?"

"I still want the whole world to like you, because you like the whole world to like you, right?"

Sheng Huainan was amused by her tongue twister: "Well, that's right."

"Even so, you can only stay with me."

He laughed loudly: "Well, definitely."

Women really like to talk stupid things when they are in love.

Luo Zhi buried her head, almost falling asleep in his comfortable arms.In the pale girlhood, those forbearable and slightly bitter memories seemed to happen in another world, and it was too late to say goodbye, and they disappeared suddenly.

"After all, they became a vulgar couple." She muttered to herself, not knowing whether she was happy or disappointed.

Sheng Huainan hugged her tightly.

"The happiest thing in the world is to be a vulgar couple with someone who is not vulgar."
