Chapter 33 Chapter 32 Prelude

"The price of papaya in the supermarket is on sale. I bought three. Do you want it? I've already cut half of it. Take the half on the table yourself!" Just as Luo Zhi opened the door and entered the dormitory, she heard Jiang Baili yelling loudly.She looked up and saw that Belle had already changed into a three-quarter-sleeved shirt in early summer, but she was wearing a down jacket outside, and she was sitting on the upper bunk holding half a papaya and digging it with a small spoon. Luo Zhi frowned, threw all the phone keys on the table, and squinted at her: "Is the papaya delicious this season?"

Jiang Baili was stunned: "You don't care if it tastes good or not, breast enlargement." "I don't need it." She sat back on the chair, rested her chin lightly on the back of the chair, picked up a copy of "Selected Poems of Brecht", and flipped through them randomly. Luo Zhi made a sharp look and stared at Jiang Baili's chest with a sneer, "Hehe, talking is better than nothing." When Luo Zhi read the fourth song, Jiang Baili's phone vibrated.Luo Zhi once tried to persuade her to give up those horrific and gorgeous ringtones but failed. In the new semester, she changed to a new mobile phone, but she never set any ringtones, which made Luo Zhi extremely surprised.

It was later learned that it was Gu Zhiye's credit. Luo Zhi could clearly feel that Jiang Baili was changing.Her mood and smile gradually returned to the way they were when they first met in the freshman year, but her behavior became more and more calm, and she no longer skipped classes and was no longer sloppy—at least she was trying to keep it clean. Of course, these changes were more reflected in front of people, and did not benefit Luo Zhi much. "It's really beneficial to fall in love with an old man." When Jiang Baili finally hung up the phone with Gu Zhiye, Luo Zhi sighed while reading a book.

"We're not in love anymore!" Belle cried again as she spoke. The phone call was indeed less sticky than when she was in love with Gobi. Belle's voice was happy, but her tone and wording kept a distance, more like an ambiguous friend. At the end of every phone call, Belle said: "Then you are busy." That you're busy. If you love me, you should immediately smile and say, I'm not busy. "Is your cold better? It still sounds nasal." Belle shrugged: "I guess it will take a week to recover, but I don't have a fever." "Porridge and side dishes can indeed cool down." She turned a page gently without looking up.

Jiang Baili blushed, and couldn't say a word for a long time. Luo Zhi received the call at 11:30 yesterday, Gobi said that she was downstairs in the dormitory at the moment, and asked her to come down and give Belle something. Pork liver and spinach porridge, baby cabbage in clear soup, pan-fried bean curd, a box of Enrique, and a box of Contac. Luo Zhi stared blankly at the things on the desk, remembering the haggard look in Gobi downstairs, and for the first time felt a little admiration for Jiang Baili's methods. Jiang Baili's eyes were bright, staring at the pork liver and spinach porridge that was so familiar, her face was flushed, not sure if it was because of a fever or something else.

"Did Chen Mohan trouble you again later?" Jiang Baili shook her head. "It's strange, it's impossible for her not to notice that Gobi's mind is in a hurry. How can a girl like her swallow this breath?" "Didn't I also run several times for him in the middle of the night, and it was even." Her voice trembled a little, and she climbed onto the bed without moving a word. "It's really embarrassing." "I was wronged." "Come on," Luo Zhi smiled, "When you fell in love, you were obviously willing, why are you talking like you are so wronged now?"

Jiang Baili was covered in the quilt, and she didn't speak for a long time.Luo Zhi then turned off the light, and threw the fragrant food into the dark night. "Actually, Gu Zhiye told me that people who say they are easily emotional are actually the most ruthless." Jiang Baili recalled what happened last night, sitting on the upper bunk and said quietly. "Of course." Luo Zhi nodded, "Because of forgetfulness." "However, I think Gobi is really not a cruel person." "Well," Luo Zhi took out his diary and began to copy poems, "Then go to Jiao Gobi and break up with Chen Mohan."

She didn't know how many times she said this, and every time she wanted to wake up Belle from the bubble of her old love, she would repeat it again. Naturally, Jiang Baili would not really talk to Gobi like this. If you don't talk about it, don't test it, don't pursue it, you won't be embarrassed, and you don't need to face reality. And the reason why she didn't dare to talk about it was the reason for her disillusionment and sobriety. In the new semester, everything is calm.The inexplicable anxiety in Luo Zhi's heart was also forgotten over time. They took two of the same public elective courses, took volleyball lessons together, and took three double-degree courses in law that started on Saturday mornings——Zhang Mingrui’s law tutor in the last semester really failed, and he did not choose another candidate and double degree programs.Play badminton together every week, go to self-study, watch movies, play games, and eat in various prestigious places by car...

Like all normal couples. At first Luo Zhi was ashamed to talk on the phone in the dormitory, but then she slowly let go.Because of the couple package, it costs very little. She often sits on the bed with headphones on after taking a shower, flipping through books and chatting with him. Occasionally giggle. Knowing that Jiang Baili suddenly lowered her head from the upper bunk, she said sadly: "I found that no matter how cool a person was at the beginning, once they start dating, they will be nasty and idiotic." With a look of "look at your own virtue now", you are heartbroken.

"Please do me a favor and consider my heartache, okay?" "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Luo Zhi counterattacked, her phone unconsciously tapped on F5, and suddenly saw a photo of Ye Zhanyan forwarded by another classmate on the news. Paris street scene. "I said, aren't you trapping me in an injustice? I didn't give that Sheng Huainan any good looks before, but you actually...you think I have any face to see him." Jiang Baili was still tossing and rambling on the upper bunk, but Luo Zhi stayed on the icon of the photo album for a while, but still didn't click it.

When Luo Zhi woke up every morning, she would blankly check to see if she was still in a dream.After a long time, I no longer feel so anxious about happiness and happiness. At this moment, Sheng Huainan's text message entered the phone. "I'm on the basketball court, the game just ended, come over, let's have dinner together." Luo Zhi detoured to the basketball court from the path behind the cafeteria, thinking about things while walking.The sun had already set, and the sky was painted over and over again, making it darker and darker.She raised her head abruptly, only to notice that not far in front of her, a couple was parked in the middle of the path. The boy was riding on a bicycle and turned to look at his lover, while the girl jumped off the back seat of the bicycle and stood on tiptoe. Feet to smell the lilacs on the roadside. "Pick a branch and put it in a vase and put it on the table." The boy suggested. "What are you going to do? They drive well, do you have the heart?" The girl turned out to be Xu Riqing. The two laughed and quarreled for a while, Xu Riqing sat on the car seat again, the boy confirmed that she was seated firmly, then slowly started, and slowly disappeared at the end of the path.Luo Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the place where they stopped just now, and turned her head to smell the melancholy fragrance of cloves. The girl who had a lilac-like sorrow at the beginning has gradually drifted away. When she arrived, the game had already ended, and only a few boys in uniforms were still sitting under the basketball hoop, drinking water and chatting.Seeing her walking over, the other people smiled ghostly, picked up their bags knowingly and left. Sheng Huainan was shooting a basketball, jumping into the air, saw her when he raised his wrist lightly, so he laughed, the ball hit the edge of the basket and bounced to Luo Zhi's side. Luo Zhi only felt that the sound of the basketball hitting the ground was like the heartbeats of two people. Sheng Huainan shot one after another, Luo Zhi threw down his schoolbag and ran to the field, picked up the ball and passed it to him. When watching boys play basketball, you should be closer. Watching from a distance makes you feel very flat and light, but when you are close, you can hear the sound of clothes rubbing, panting, and footsteps, and it feels like the heart of the viewer They all jumped violently. Luo Zhi's heart beat with his vitality.The orange street lamp held up a gentle umbrella for the two of them under the dark blue sky. She smiled and watched him dribble and jump, and heard the sound of Hollow entering the basket, and suddenly an unspeakable feeling arose in her heart. hapiness. She finally didn't have to wander around on the playground absent-mindedly, and finally didn't have to deliberately turn her face away at such a time. So many people loved him.Only she has come this far. This kind of happiness is naturally cruel to those who can't get it, but she can't force the corners of her mouth not to rise because of it.Thinking of it this way, I no longer feel overly afraid of the secret that I dare not solve in my heart. Luo Zhi, come on. she said to herself silently. "My brother, Luoyang, is going back to his hometown for a wedding on the 5th of next month. I need to go back. I wanted to ask you to go with me, but aren't you about to take the 6G test? I think you should stay in school and study hard. .” Sheng Huainan thought for a while, then nodded: "It's a pity, but that's okay." He stirred the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the bowl with a small spoon, and suddenly asked, "When I was sick last semester, did you give me The porridge girl, is that you?" Luo Zhi managed to pick up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, and when she heard the sound, she raised her head, and all of the noodles slid back into the bowl again. "Oh, it was me when you disappeared suddenly." She raised her eyebrows. Sheng Huainan smiled embarrassingly. "But how do you know?" "It should be the night of Christmas. I dragged your suitcase back to the dormitory. I was talking to the boss. He suddenly mentioned it and asked me who was the girl who delivered the hot porridge when I was sick last time. Why did she suddenly disappear?" That day, I had a bad cough and stayed in the dormitory all day with a gloomy expression.In the afternoon, Zhang Mingrui brought him instant noodles and pancakes, which made his stomach feel like it was burning. At around ten o'clock in the evening, the boss answered a dormitory phone call and ran down, and then brought up a bag-preserved egg and lean meat porridge, corn cakes and vegetables.Ashamed to say, he really couldn't guess who gave it to him. The cold came so quickly that no one knew about it except his buddies in the dormitory—maybe it was some girl in the courtyard who saw that he didn't go to class?But the boss shouldn't be ignorant. Luo Zhi also thought of that naughty but warm-hearted boy back then, and smiled. "I asked the boss what the girl looked like, and the boss described it as a beauty." Luo Zhi proudly scratched her nose. "This description is like farting, which means you didn't say it." Sheng Huainan continued to speak expressionlessly, ignoring Luo Zhi kicking his leg under the table. "But the boss said, that girl is really fun. The boss teased her and told her not to have too much hope..." Sheng Huainan suddenly stopped talking, as if thinking of something embarrassing. "Let me continue to help you. Your boss said that the beauties who chase you can make up numbers to draw the lottery, right?" At that time, Luo Zhi could still laugh, and when he asked her name, she said to him, you have given her a number, and she is waiting for the lottery draw. At the moment when she lost her helmet and armor, she could still use jokes to make up for the lost ground. Luo Zhi thought of this, and felt that the current self seemed to be gradually fading that layer of sharpness and pride, and if she staged it again, she might not be able to say the same thing. He was in a daze when Sheng Huainan hit his head with the other end of the chopsticks. "What the hell are you thinking? I just wanted to say thank you." The only thing that hasn't changed is that she is still not good at responding to his earnest thanks and apologies, so she quickly took out a tissue and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe off your sweat." "You wipe it for me." The boy opposite was holding the porridge without looking up. Luo Zhi sighed, and resignedly stretched out her hand to wipe his forehead. I don't know if she is thinking too much, Sheng Huainan seems to be much quieter recently.He still treated her very well, but it seemed that he was being weighed down by something in his heart, and it became more and more heavy. "How are you? I think you've been unhappy lately." Sheng Huainan didn't answer, he stopped suddenly, stared at the chopsticks and said, "You have also practiced eating with three chopsticks before?" Luo Zhi was stunned.She had never confessed to him that she had lied to him, the three chopsticks, the fatty meat, and even... the little queen.She can only nod. "Let's try again, shall we?" Seeing his happy look, Luo Zhi also felt a little more comfortable, so she stood up and took another pair of chopsticks, handed one to him, and kept the other in her hand. She bit the bullet and went into battle, the noodles flicked on her chopsticks, and the noodle soup was thrown all over her face. They laughed together, Sheng Huainan picked up a tissue and wiped it gently on the tip of her nose. "It's just that my grandfather's condition is not very good recently," he said softly as he wiped her face. "He is a very interesting old man who lives in the country. I would like to take you to see him when I have a chance. He When he was young, he used to cross some kind of river, raised a lot of small animals, and he was the first to invent three chopsticks to eat. I watched it for many years, and I suddenly wanted to learn how to do it when I was in high school." Luo Zhi was silent. "Grandpa, too, has a myocardial infarction and has entered the intensive care unit. I don't know what's going on recently. I always feel like something is going to happen. I don't know. I really don't know." Luo Zhi felt that she could vaguely see something in front of her eyes, but she couldn't understand it.She could only hold his hand gently, gently.
