Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Balance Beam

Luo Zhi could no longer tell whether the tears were due to pain or something else.The next moment, she was pulled into his arms by him, and her cheek was pressed against the tie. The silky touch was not warm, even colder than her own tears.He wrapped her back with the arm holding the coat, and pressed the other hand on the back of her head, gently hugging her, as if smoothing the fur of a small animal. "I'm sorry." His voice came from above, and Luo Zhi woke up suddenly, tried to break free a few times but couldn't break free. "I thought you had a special view of right and wrong, always apologizing for strange things. I didn't expect your way of apologizing to be more special."

He didn't answer her cynicism, he let her go gently, but grabbed her wrist. "Don't freeze, go in and talk about it." He couldn't help her resistance, and forcefully led her into the door. Luo Zhi followed behind silently with her head bowed all the time, receiving countless gossiping "Oh my God!..." She didn't want to know at all what expression Sheng Huainan used to face his surprised and gossiping classmates. He lowered his head and tried to let the long hair cover his face more. However, the scene at the venue made her temporarily forget her situation.

The table was overturned.Most people were crowded in the buffet area and whispering, only the girl in red stood there at the messy table.Sheng Huainan turned to ask a small officer at the door what happened. "Senior, you don't know, I was really scared to death just now. We were playing jelly puzzles here, when we heard a loud noise, plates and bowls were smashed to the ground, everyone was stunned, and then..." the girl He put his hands on his chest and kept panting, but was suddenly interrupted by the boy beside him. "It was Minister Gobi's girlfriend who quarreled with Liu Jing-senpai. Liu Jing-senpai turned the table over."

Luo Zhi glanced at the boy gratefully. Sheng Huainan squeezed her hand hard and said, "You are not allowed to run, wait for me." After he finished speaking, he quickly walked into the crowd, but still tightly clutching Luo Zhi's coat, like a key hostage. Luo Zhi resigned herself to her fate and leaned against the wall to wait for the show, her attention was gradually drawn to the whispers of the people around her.The wordy girl whispered to the people next to her, "Hey, is it because the teachers of the Youth League Committee have left that no one came out to fight?"

Luo Zhi saw Sheng Huainan, three boys and two girls walking to the storm area. The girls ran over to appease the girl in the red dress named Liu Jing, and the other boys set up Gobi who was drunk on the chair. Huainan patted Chen Mohan's shoulder to signal her to leave here, only then did Luo Zhi notice that there was a clear brown-red stain on Chen Mohan's small dress, maybe it was splashed with red wine. Chen Mohan suddenly burst into tears, jumped up aggrieved and threw himself into Sheng Huainan's arms, Sheng Huainan took a step back in surprise, then quickly and nervously glanced sideways at Luo Zhi, his eyes filled with bewilderment for the first time.

Luo Zhi opened her mouth in surprise, but when she saw him looking in her direction in a panic, she burst into laughter.She widened her smile and arrogantly looked directly at the embarrassed Sheng Huainan. Hahaha - here's her take on everything tonight. Sheng Huainan spread out and raised his hands, as if he was trying to prove to the referee in a basketball game that he had no tricks, Luo Zhi's coat slowly slipped into his arms.When Chen Mohan just threw himself into his arms, his hand accidentally touched the bare skin on her back, which made his scalp numb, and he froze in place passively smelling the perfume she brought, while Luo Luo in the distance Zhizheng is gloating and laughing happily.

Sheng Huainan frowned, and said softly, "Well, classmate, calm down. There are so many people here, you definitely don't want to embarrass yourself and Gobi." Chen Mohan cried so much that his shrugged shoulders froze, and then he slowly withdrew from his arms.She gently covered her eyes with her hands, pretending to wipe away her tears, but Sheng Huainan clearly saw through her mascara that she wasn't crying at all. At this time, he heard a chuckle, and it turned out that the president of the student union had long been standing aside with his mouth crooked and grinning.

Sheng Huainan finally couldn't see it, walked into the crowd and said to the chairman: "What do you think? No matter what, it's not good to spread the word." The chairman lazily said to him as if waking up from sleepwalking: "Find some people Hurry up and get Liu Jing, Gobi, and his fairy girlfriend away!" The other officers around also moved up to clean up the mess as if they had just woken up from a dream.The chairman suppressed his smile and said loudly: "It's not too early, let's come here first for today's New Year's Eve. Everyone in the Department of Literature and Art stays, collect your things and settle the settlement. Other students go back to rest early, everyone Happy New Year what."

The crowd who had just condensed into an embankment and kept a distance from the scene of the incident disintegrated in an instant. Luo Zhi's sight was blocked by the chaotic figures. She wondered if she should go too, pinched her thin shirt, frowned, and had no choice but to get closer. Find a seat to do it, so as not to get in the way of others. From the moment she was pulled into his arms until now, her beating heart has never calmed down.Luo Zhi lightly pressed her wrist on her chest, and gently closed her eyes. But the pounding heartbeat did not drown out reason. You see, here we go again, and we're going to do it all over again.She took a deep breath and tried to tell herself, Luo Zhi, if you have a brain...you know you should...you know...

If you have a brain, Luo Zhi. No one can play tricks on you unless you like it.Don't let this vicious cycle repeat itself. She was thinking about something in her mind with slack eyes, but her eyes were covered by shadows.Sheng Huainan actually got away from cleaning the battlefield within a few minutes, smiled and said to her, "Let's go." "Don't you need to stay and help?" "Help me?!" Sheng Huainan complained in a low voice, and Luo Zhi suddenly saw the face that complained with his back to the little officer two hours ago, appearing openly in front of his eyes.

Finally got back her coat, Luo Zhi quickly put it on, and Sheng Huainan on the side also put on a down jacket.The snow outside has stopped, and since the temperature is not very low, only a small thick layer has accumulated.Luo Zhi earnestly branded her footprints where no one had stepped on. "I think you definitely have a virginity complex. Look at you, even reading books must be new books, and you like to step on snow that no one has stepped on." Luo Zhi smiled: "That's right, just now..." In fact, she didn't know what to ask, after all, she didn't know anything about the student union.Sheng Huainan shrugged his shoulders to comfort her: "It's nothing serious, it's just fighting among the factions. Petty, it's boring." "Will it affect you?" He raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, he didn't know what he realized, and immediately smiled happily. "Don't worry, it won't, I can balance it, it's just for fun anyway." In the words, there was a bit of pride and arrogance unconsciously.Luo Zhi stopped feeling itchy in her heart, this kind of Sheng Huainan might not be seen often, and people who are tight-fitting rarely show their true conceited side. Does this prove that she is still special to him? Luo Zhi couldn't help thinking this way, but couldn't help laughing at herself even more—it's all this far, and she's still guessing about her status. Secret love has become a habit, and the humbleness has been rooted in the bones, even scraping the bones to cure the poison can't be wiped clean. "Actually," he said after being quiet for a while, "I was a little troubled a while ago...it was about the student union." She didn't speak, just waiting for him to continue. "But the most annoying thing is that people think I should be in a bad mood." He looked at the front and laughed at himself. "I have been avoiding Gobi before. Although the relationship between the seniors we follow is not good, the two of us are still good." Yes. After the accident, he offered to drink with me several times to relieve my worries, which made me dumbfounded." From Sheng Huainan's calm narration, Luo Zhi roughly grasped the situation.The student union is having an uneventful New Year.The sponsorship of the New Year's party had already been handled by Sheng Huainan's External Relations Department.But at a critical juncture in mid-December, the electronics export company suddenly backed out.The company's explanation to the student union is that the supervisor who signed the agreement resigned, and the agreement did not pass the company's process review and cannot take effect. If it does not take effect, naturally no payment will be made. Everyone knew that the real reason was the student union president.In name, the sponsorship was drawn in by Sheng Huainan's External Relations Department in accordance with the prescribed procedures, but in fact the chairman personally contacted and arranged the sponsorship. Now that they are withdrawn all at once, Sheng Huainan has become the accusation of everyone—as a scapegoat, He can't report these things that can't be put on the table to the teacher of the Youth League Committee, not to mention that the other party may know the situation better than himself. The blame can only continue to be carried. The position of the president of the student union of a university is a fat job, which is extremely honorable in face and takes huge benefits.Whether it is to go out to find a job or recommend a graduate student, having this title is basically equivalent to handy. At the same time, taking advantage of his power, the chairman holds the lifeblood of some important campus projects. All are undercurrents. Every year, one-third of the freshmen rushed into the student union to be a small secretary, running errands, moving things and handing out leaflets-although there were very few sophomores who could make it into the minister.If you want to get along in the student union, ability and perseverance are important, but what is more important is the support and appointment of the former minister or a higher level.After half a semester, most of the three-minute hot-blooded small officers quit the department, and those who skipped shifts skipped shifts; among the few who remained, only one could become a minister, and the others could only be named deputy department by friendship—— Naturally, this title has no meaning, so it often just walks away.However, the student union is not short of manpower. Every year, a large number of small officers flood in, and they are much more obedient than the "deputy ministers", and they are also much easier to deceive.The sophomore ministers will run for the presidium in the next semester, and four or five lucky ones will become vice-chairmen in the junior year, and the president of the student union in the fourth year will be selected from these four or five vice-chairmen. Pyramid-like levels. In this world, climbing up is never easy.Unless someone is pushing you to jump up, such as the current student union president.His grades were a mess, and he was studying in an unpopular transfer major, but his family background allowed him to maintain a good relationship with some teachers of the Youth League Committee, and he spent the most money on the dinners for many voters before the election.However, just before the new year, the chairman's father in the admissions office of a certain southern province was caught under double regulation. During the investigation, the financial entanglements of several companies that provided sponsorship funds were incidentally brought up, making these sponsors avoid them. Seeing that the several activities planned for the New Year were left there, several teachers of the Youth League Committee rushed to the room, but they neither dared to continue to use him, nor dared to move him rashly. The current chairman was frozen like this. Puppet Emperor. But at this time, Gobi recruited the sponsor of the family business to be on the top—the small group of vice-chairmen that Gobi followed had been fighting openly and secretly with the current chairman, and this move severely slapped the puppet emperor.As a result of the chaotic situation today, the chairman just stood aside to watch the excitement, and didn't come out to control the scene.Gobi is the leading figure today, and the teachers above him are coincidentally absent.Let this humiliating situation last for a second longer, and the chairman will be faster by a minute. Sheng Huainan let out a long breath of white air. "It's so annoying. There's a bunch of shitty things, and every one of them is serious. I'll drop the pick after the election next semester." His childish tone made Luo Zhi smile, but facing this long, faint complaint, she didn't know how to give feedback.Since she believed that he said that she could settle things down, she also knew that Sheng Huainan had no intention of doing so. So, I can only smile. Suddenly it snowed again.Sheng Huainan and Luo Zhi walked away from the brightly lit exchange center, and walked on the small gravel road that Luo Zhi came to.For a long time, the two of them did not speak, and the only sound left in the world was the rustling snow and the creaking footsteps. "Do you still like me?" Luo Zhi stepped heavily into the snow, and when she heard his words, she immediately stopped in her tracks, as if being nailed to the spot by a cat that pinched the back of its neck.The only thing moving in the whole world was the white air produced by the two of them breathing, which came fiercely, and then quickly faded and dissipated. Suddenly jumping from the topic of the student union to this place, she was a little dazed. She felt Sheng Huainan approaching from behind, and hurriedly took a step forward, but he held his hand. "Am I being a hooligan?" He raised her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, then clenched it tightly against his chest.Luo Zhi stared at him like a Martian, and he finally couldn't help laughing out loud. "If I want to marry you, it's not a hooligan, right?" Sheng Huainan looked at Luo Zhi who was still petrified and her frighteningly bright eyes, and decided not to beat around the bush anymore. "Luo Zhi," he smiled confidently, "I..." "do not!" Luo Zhi's shout shocked the fresh snow on the branches.
