Unrequited Love

Sheng Huainan stood at the door with his hands in his pockets waiting for her, most of his body was bathed in the bright sunshine of late autumn.

"What were you doing just now? Eating potato chips?" His opening remarks had obvious warm-up intentions.

Luo Zhi raised his eyes to look at him. The person in front of him is so good-looking and elegant, he walks calmly, and his gentle brows are noble and noble.

She admired it seriously until the other person was a little uncomfortable.

"No, I'll keep my stomach waiting to kill you." Luo Zhi smiled, laughing to the fullest.

It was the cafe in the school, and she chose a bright seat near the window.

"Is it okay here? The sun is very good, don't waste it." Luo Zhi asked.

"Okay, I like it too."

The waiter who ordered the food was standing lazily at the table: "Did you order or drink?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Bone broth ramen, vegetable tempura, and hot milk." She did not look at the menu.

"Then I want the same." Sheng Huainan also closed the menu.

The short-haired waitress seemed to have no bones. She hummed, indicating that she knew the content of the order, and the mud slowly moved away.

Within two minutes, the tableware was on the table.

While waiting for the dishes, Sheng Huainan pulled the chopsticks out of the tableware packaging bag, looked at it, and then smiled as if thinking of something.

"Unfortunately it is not three." Luo Zhi immediately seized the opportunity to blurt out.

He looked up, the curiosity on his face was just right: "How do you know?"

"Know what?" She looked at him innocently.

Luo Zhi heard that Sheng Huainan used three chopsticks when eating every day. It's not a quirk, he just feels bored and wants to challenge it-the ability to eat with his left hand has already been practiced, so this time he has to try three chopsticks.

She has only heard of it, she has not seen it. But she has seen chopsticks. One day because the head teacher left her to talk, she went to the cafeteria very late. When I left after eating, I saw four dinner plates on a table in the front left, three chopsticks and white plastic chopsticks on the one closest to her.

She hurriedly lowered her head to tie her shoelaces, not wanting her fellow students to see her demented expression. When she rushed to the seat with the dinner plate, she didn't even notice the four boys sitting in the front left.

She didn't see it.

At noon the next day, she was in the cafeteria by herself and secretly took three chopsticks. I still used two chopsticks when I ate, secretly glanced at the boy sitting on the other side of the table, for fear of being found out of her weirdness and guilty conscience. Fortunately, he left after eating, and the surrounding tables were deserted. She solemnly picked up three chopsticks and started experimenting-clumsily making the rice all over her face, and then smirking all by herself.

It's really interesting. When he practices, will he make himself like a flower cat in front of his classmates? She wiped her face with a tissue, and leaned on the table to think quietly.

"When I was in high school, I used to practice eating with three chopsticks for a while. But I didn't practice it and was scolded by my mother that I didn't eat well." She pretended to remember the past and stared at the chopsticks wrapping paper. .

Sheng Huainan smiled happily and said, "Do you practice three chopsticks in high school? Ha, so did I."

She pretended to be surprised and tilted her head: "Oh?"

He obviously hadn't recovered yet, just smiled and rubbed the cup that she described as stool. "God, it's so interesting, I really didn't expect it." He said.

On the ramen table, the creamy white bone broth makes people feel good. Half an egg, two slices of pork, a few leaves of vegetables—the school’s Japanese ramen can only be made like this.

However, the south of Shenghuai is difficult to show. She looked up and saw that the two pieces of meat in his bowl were all fat.

She smiled.

"You hate fat, don't you?"

He pursed his lips and nodded, looking helpless.

"I hate fat too, it's better now."

"Really? Most girls seem to hate fat, but there are fewer boys like me who hate fat." Sheng Huainan scratched the back of his head a little shyly.

She didn’t answer him, she just made a smirk as she was immersed in memories, saying: “When I was a kid, when I was a guest at someone else’s house, someone would always give me food. I said'thank you' and I was embarrassed at the same time, because In fact, I don’t like to eat those dishes. The fried green onion, minced **** and fatty meat are not afraid to spit on the table, so I secretly spit it into my hand while others are not paying attention, and put it on the crossbar of the stool sitting under me. Above, I waited until the meal was over before secretly disposing of it-I was discovered by someone once, because I filled a whole rail, and the fat was lined up in a neat line." She seriously drew the tape. Say.

"You—Is it true?" Sheng Huainan has never been so excited.

"Of course it is true." She continued to say to herself, "The adults laughed so hard that they could not even scold me. I was so shamelessly flattering the hostess."

"...How did you take it?" His expression looked very expectant.

And she knew what a coincidence answer he was expecting.

"My lord asked me, why did you arrange it so neatly? I said, it's the aunt who cuts well, and all the fat is the same size, otherwise it's not aligned..."

Sheng Huainan smiled heartily, and for a full minute he just waved at her, speechless.

"It's not good, it's not good, it's a coincidence. Did you know? I was like this when I was a kid, exactly like you! It was just filled with other people's stool rails. Even, what they said to the hostess The same... my god..."

Sheng Huainan's face flushed red and was immersed in the memories, very happy. When he looked at her, his eyes were clear, as if he had finally met a soulmate.

"It's a coincidence, but it's not surprising."

"What do you mean?" When Sheng Huainan raised his eyebrows, there was a slight pattern of raising his forehead, which was very cute.

"This world is too big. No matter how good, unique, or individual you think you are, or how perverted, dark, and conscienceless—you will never be alone. Because there is no such thing as unique in the world."

Besides, she made coincidences and eliminated all his uniqueness.

"It's so disappointing to say that," he lowered his head, but smiled approvingly. "Girls who find their true destiny and love them so much that they must be angry will be angry."

"This is also because the world is too big, and we can only occupy a small space and time, so I don’t know if we will meet a more "real life" emperor in the distance, or whether we will wait patiently for a few years The one who arrives is the true beloved. Moreover, even if the mistake is corrected, the feelings are given to the person whom he had determined so hard before, and he has become unique in his life. He can't be created by yourself, it has nothing to do with that mediocre person."

"Is it unique because I met and fell in love with me?" He seemed very interested.

"It would be great to meet." Luo Zhi added gently, feeling that the topic was a bit heavy and didn't want to continue.

Sheng Huainan squinted his eyes and looked out the window, as if thinking something, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It looks so good, Luo Zhi thought, lowered his head and smiled secretly, a little embarrassed.

"But when it comes to adventure... When I was a kid, I had a girl I liked when I was young." Sheng Huainan suddenly changed the subject, and looked triumphantly proud, so cute that he wanted to pinch his face.

Such a simple and open-minded Sheng Huainan made Luo Zhi wonder if he saw a pupil in a white shirt. The only difference was that he had forgotten to wear a red scarf. She suddenly remembered that Jiang Baili smiled with tears that day and said that Gobi was smiling like a simple child.

No one can't help but be moved.

"When I was three years old, when I saw an old man, I was very lustful when I was a child." She said.

Sheng Huainan didn't reply, and scratched the back of his head awkwardly: "I mean it, I don't know why I suddenly think of this, it's weird."

After a pause, he looked at her seriously with strange eyes.

"what happened?"

He shrugged and continued.

"When I was a kid, I always went on business with my parents and I went to various cities, even in this city, I always walked around, various institutions, and even rural areas. Haha, it's a meeting of the world," Sheng Huainan smiled, "but I Basically, I don’t remember clearly, who I’ve seen, where I’ve been... My childhood memories are always chaotic."

"Oh, me too." She answered, encouraging him to continue.

"Are you walking around with Mom and Dad?"

She froze for a moment and nodded.

Actually not. Compared with the pampered look of his parents, she and her mother are considered exile.

"But I remember that one time I attended a relative's wedding—you know that children are just people who come to join in the fun. You may not really understand what a wedding is. The bride of that wedding seems to have returned from overseas, so the way it is done is the traditional hotel. Eating and drinking are not the same. It's very similar to the wedding on the TV, the outdoor lawn, balloons, and the white dining table-of course I guess this is her idea. In fact, the lawn is dirty and the dining table is covered with red cloth. It’s much more interesting for children. We played children’s basketball first, and then we played Jiajia, the princess and the knight, the cult leader of the chivalrous gege, uh, don’t laugh at me, you can treat it as a simple RPG game... …"

Luo Zhi laughed: "When I was a kid, I also liked to play. I always thought I could marry Brother Yixiu."

"Brother Yixiu belongs to Xiao Ye Zi." He made a face.

"No, it's Shinyuemon."

The blank look on his face made her laugh.

"Anyway, everyone hasn’t gone to elementary school yet. It’s normal to be naive. There are a few girls who are clamoring to play together, and the boys will just have them and set up a house wine. I saw a strange little girl always Standing quietly on the side with her left arm... Wearing filial piety, it seems that her father has passed away. But she is not pitiful, her expression seems to be thinking about things. I like to be nosy at that time, I think I must take care of Everyone, I called her to everyone and told her to play together. She nodded very obediently, so I..."

"You?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him with interest.

"Don't look at me that way, as if I did something wrong."

"I don't know if it's wrong, anyway, you look like you have a ghost in your heart."

"Come on!" Sheng Huainan blushed, "I am the emperor in that game. I want to make her happy. So I stretched my voice and said loudly...Fengtian, I want to marry her."

She was stunned for two seconds. She didn't laugh wildly as he thought. She smiled brightly but made no sound. Her eyes were especially bright, as if the sun was born in the lake.

"We are playing the palace game, which is... the palace. Of course, the eunuchs are played by me alone. They are too dull and do not cooperate well." Sheng Huainan explained, blushing more and more.

She was still smiling brilliantly, hiding her red eyes.

"Then a few girls put the balloons that were distributed to the children at the wedding and hung them on her pigtails. They picked up a lot of colorful ribbons and ornaments from the ground and draped them all over her shoulders. , Thinking about it now, it's ugly.

"Then the emperor will get married.

"Coincidentally, this was the climax of the ceremony. In front of the main stage in the distance, the groom and the bride were reading their wedding vows under the guidance of the noisy emcee.

"So, once they read a sentence, we will learn to say it from a distance. I can't understand many words, nor can I understand them, but she knows a lot, and quietly tells me what to say in my ear. The emperor Wearing a'silk silk' with the queen, and reciting a very western declaration, they formally married.

"Playing and playing, the other boys grasped the direction of the story. They all felt that they should be emperors, and we were in conflict. Everyone had weapons such as wooden swords in their hands, and they really started fighting. , My leg was bruised. The boys were urging me to put me in jail—in fact, it was a puddle next to the lawn. They really wanted to push me in. The biggest boy didn’t know if it was right. I watched a lot of TV series and emphasized that I must grab my hair and dip my head in the water. The other timid boys and girls were scared to tears. Suddenly, the girl who was the queen rushed up and took the big head from behind Pushed directly into the puddle.

"It was the first time I saw a girl who can fight like this. When I just played the game, she was weak in writing, and she was very aggressive. The two of us played against the four boys, and we didn't suffer in the end."

Sheng Huainan laughed as he talked and looked to the other side, and found Luo Zhi playing with a cup with a solemn expression.

Somehow, he was quiet for a while.

"The fat boy who was pushed into the puddle was actually a scumbag. He cried out of shape. He ran to his parents to file a complaint. Our small area quickly became the focus. A pair of parents surrounded the children like mud monkeys in the middle. The little boy’s parents stared at him and rushed over to the little girl. Of course I... Well, of course, I stood in front of her with loyalty and said that the person was pushed down by me. How could she be such a girl? strength."

Sheng Huainan sighed: "My parents...are considered more prestigious characters. The parents didn't dare to do anything to me, so they insisted that I was ignorant, and it was the little girl who bullied his son."

Luo Zhi slowly asked: "What then?"

"Then my father’s secretary, Uncle Zheng, came out to make the rounds. The fat boy’s parent scolded a few words, so naturally he couldn’t really do it with the little girl. Things didn’t stop, the children were taken away by their adults and returned to the wedding The banquet went up. Uncle Zheng also wanted to take me away. I was led by him for a few steps and suddenly looked back.

"Only she herself is standing alone.

"I... so I begged Uncle Zheng to let me talk to her, and promised to go back to the dining table to find him immediately. He nagged for a long time and finally agreed, and I went back and took the girl's hand... …I……"

Luo Zhi stared at him silently, his eyes brighter.

"In retrospect, I think I was so rascal when I was a child. I said thank you to her just now, which is really interesting. Actually, the wedding has not been completed. I was disrupted by those boys just now. I saw the bride and groom on the stage and the last One step, we haven’t done it yet!

"I just... I just... kissed her hard.

"Then I ran away."

"What happened later?" she asked with a smile.

"There is no more. She seems to have left early, and she was noisy at the end. I can't find her anymore. Now I have forgotten her appearance and never saw her again."

"It's so romantic." She lowered her head and said softly.

"Ah? Where is the romance?" Sheng Huainan asked in surprise.

"Romantic, there is no later."

Luo Zhi looked into his eyes and said solemnly.
