Chapter 36 Chapter 35 Everyone Will Say Goodbye

On the day Sheng Huainan finished the GRE exam, he learned that his grandfather had passed away, and his grandfather was also critically ill and was being rescued.Luo Zhi sent Sheng Huainan out of the campus on Monday morning, and watched him get in a taxi and disappear into the traffic under the traffic lights. The fog was so thick that she couldn't even see the intersection clearly, and there was a blur of red taillights in between. , little by little, like the eyes of a beast hidden in the depths of the mist. Luo Zhi remembered that on the way to the school gate, they didn't speak, and Sheng Huainan just held her, his hands were slightly cold.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this all the time." He stretched out his hand to call a car, and his voice was a little tired. Luo Zhi lightly squeezed his other hand: "What am I sorry for? If you feel sad, just tell me." He nodded and kissed her forehead lightly. When Luo Zhi saw Zhu Yan again, what the other party brought her was the definite news that she was going to move out of Beijing. She never asked why.There are too many secrets about Zhu Yan. Although the other party is calm enough and has also taken the initiative to mention her embarrassing identity to her, she has always carefully avoided it.

She didn't know how much bitterness there was behind that calmness, and she didn't want to touch it by accident. Ever since the two Filipino maids disappeared, Luo Zhi had been vaguely prepared to accompany her to pack and tidy up.This was not a long process, but Luo Zhi slowly got used to it, and finally confirmed this point, she no longer felt panic in her heart. The living room is full of cardboard boxes sealed with tape.Luo Zhi suddenly couldn't remember what the living room looked like when she first walked in here.The conspicuous grand piano must have been sold, she thought.

Tiffany and Jake hugged her tearfully and cried, Luo Zhi endured the soreness on the tip of her nose, patted their backs, raised her head, and smiled slightly at Zhu Yan who was standing in the entrance. Tears fell at this time. "When will you move out completely?" "The two of them will go there first next week. I have to deal with the real estate issue here, and I'm afraid I will stay until the end of July." Luo Zhi nodded: "Go ahead. Take care." He didn't know what to say at all. "In fact, this is very good. Before I left, I saw that everything has become so good for you. It is completely different from more than a year ago. You are confident and gentle, not guarded or melancholy. How good, I have the feeling The joy of seeing my daughter grow up."

Luo Zhi smiled through tears: "Why do you still speak so strangely?" Zhu Yan still made a cup of tea for her as usual: "Sorry, it's still Pu'er, let's make do with it." "You can only make do with such delicious tea at your place." "You don't drink tea in other places, there is no comparison, where does it taste good?" "I don't need men who have married all over the world to compare..." Luo Zhi stopped her mouth and almost bit her tongue. Zhu Yan smiled, her brows and eyes were warm, and she still looked like a college student in a trance.

"Well, I believe that." Being teased by her, Luo Zhi's eyes flickered, she stood up and said, "I'll go and accompany the two of them." The two children still pester her for stories.The books on the bookshelf have been almost emptied, and the plastic case of the conspicuous "Barbie Doll" movie DVD that was placed here back then often reflected the afternoon sun, and the light spots fell on Luo Zhi's face by the desk, and she was used to it That temperature is suddenly gone now, so naturally I am very disappointed. Luo Zhi picked up a copy of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" with an old cover, knowing that these two children who only liked pretty things probably didn't plan to want this book.

She was sitting on the sofa for one person, and the two children were leaning on the side, sitting side by side on the floor.The setting sun cast a brilliant light on the ground through the stained glass, Luo Zhi concentrated on chanting every single word, like a witch walking in a story. "Once upon a time, there was a king." The fairy tale is over. But Tiffany couldn't understand it. The nightingale's story puzzled her: "Why didn't the bird let the king tell others that it sang for him?" "Some things are better left unsaid." The little girl's little head was tilted: "I prefer to say everything."

Luo Zhi pulled her ponytail, looked at this little girl who would eventually grow up to harbor a secret in her heart, and said softly: "Well, that's indeed better." There is no unspeakable sadness and care.That is indeed better. After dinner, Zhu Yan settled the wages of the last month with her, and drove her to the subway station in person. "I'm sorry, the drivers have resigned. I don't know much about the way back to your school. I've never tried navigation. You know, female drivers are good at it." Luo Zhi smiled: "If you dare to drive, I may not dare to sit."

On a dark cloudy night, the pale energy-saving lamps at the entrance of the subway try their best to play the moonlight.Luo Zhi hugged Zhu Yan, sniffing the rose fragrance in her hair, her mind settled down. "Take care of yourself, don't work too hard. If you can..." She thought that if she could, she would find a reliable person, and don't support everything by herself—on second thought, she felt that this nonsense was annoying. "I know." "Then I'm leaving." "Luo Zhi!" She stopped, seeing Zhu Yan's gentle motherly smile, her nose turned sore for a moment.

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but I think you have made a choice long ago. I know you always feel that you are using one problem to cover another problem, but you still have to face it in the end. I don't know what's wrong, but..." Zhu Yan paused, and said firmly, "But you like him. This in itself is already the answer to this choice. You have already answered this question when you were freshman in high school." Luo Zhi seemed to have collapsed, trotted a few steps back to her, and cried in her arms. Zhu Yan patted her on the back and said softly, "You are the bravest girl I have ever seen."

Before going to bed at night, Luo Zhi called Sheng Huainan, wanting to inquire about the situation there, but he turned off the phone unexpectedly. All she could do was send a text message to say hello. The signal in the dormitory has become worse and worse in the past few months, and the simple "Are you okay?" can't be sent out for a long time. Luo Zhi sat by the bed, silently staring at the signal at the top of the phone screen, which decreased from four vertical bars all the way to a short dot. How many relationships between people in the world are maintained by such fragile and uncontrollable signals? If you don't go online, don't turn on the phone, how many missed people will be drowned in the sea of ​​people like this? A sudden panic crept up her back.Luo Zhi could only climb onto the bed, keep the phone turned on, and put it next to the pillow. Whenever she was about to fall into a drowsy sleep, she would suddenly wake up, reach out and press the screen, staring at a blank place, waiting for a delay Not coming envelope icon. At this moment, Jiang Baili opened the door and came in, dropped her phone and climbed up the ladder. This scene seems to have not appeared for a long time.Every night in the past, Jiang Baili would rush into the dormitory angrily after arguing with Gobi, and pounce on the upper bunk bed to torture her mobile phone. As if time was being reversed, Luo Zhi suddenly opened her eyes wide. It seems that Jiang Baili never broke up with Gobi. It seems that Luo Zhi has never been with Sheng Huainan again. "Berry, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Baili cried until her voice became hoarse: "It's okay, Chen Mohan is just looking for trouble for me." Luo Zhi turned over: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." There was no news from Sheng Huainan for a whole week, and Luo Zhi received a message from Zhang Mingrui halfway, saying that he hadn't seen him for a week, and it's almost the end of the period, will he be okay? She couldn't reply to him, she couldn't say "I don't know either". On the weekend, Luo Zhi received a call from her mother, saying that Aunt Fu came to Beijing alone to see her son, and she lived near the hotel near Dongzhimen where her son worked. Go there on Saturday. She wrote down the address and phone number and agreed to come down. "Lolo, how are you and your little boyfriend recently...?" There was joy in the voice, and it was tentative and cautious, and I don't know why. Luo Zhi laughed: "It's pretty good." She thought her voice should sound clear. "Where are you and Uncle Chen?" Luo Zhi's mother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Nonsense!" She didn't force her to ask any questions, she just smiled and waited for an answer.After a few seconds, her mother suddenly said softly: "Actually, I planned to talk to you in two days." "Are you going to get married?" "We both feel that things here are almost... come to an end, so we plan to pick a convenient day next month to get the certificate. But his registered permanent residence is not here, but in his hometown of Guangxi. In fact, he has been with him recently. Let me mention such a thing, his family is over there, and two brothers partnered to open a small shipyard. He also came here because of family affairs, and now he wants to go back, so I decided with me whether to go together Over there, go to work in your own factory..." Luo Zhi listened carefully at first, but gradually began to lose her mind.On the ginkgo tree by the window sill, a beautiful big magpie was hopping along the branches and approaching her. She walked over holding the phone, the signal began to become stronger and weaker, and the mother's slightly tired voice on the phone seemed so far away. She smiled and looked at the beautiful dark blue bird. It turned out to be a good news.She stretched out her hand, but the magpie was not frightened away, it just tilted its head to look at her from a distance. "Lolo? What do you think? I discussed it with your second uncle for a long time, and I still think that when you graduate from university..." "Mom!" She interrupted, telling her with great certainty, "Go." Her mother burst into tears on the other end of the phone. On Saturday morning, Luo Zhi was still woken up by Jiang Baili's phone call.She got off the bed, walked to the table to pick up the water glass, and looked up to see Jiang Baili sitting on the upper bunk excitedly catching the electric arc. The ponytail she tied the night before was completely curled up after a night of sleep. It looks like the magpie that came here yesterday. "Okay, then you can pick me up, how about ten thirty?" Jiang Baili hung up the phone and climbed down, happily grabbed the facial cleanser and toothbrush and rushed to the bathroom. "Uncle Gu wants to take me to the spicy temptation at Dongzhimen! Cheer for the final exam!" Jiang Baili is like a goddess of infinite regeneration. The night before because of Gobi and Chen Mohan's entanglement, she cried until her eyes were swollen. This morning, she was as happy as a six-year-old child because of a meal. Only now did Luo Zhi realize that she was indeed inferior to her. "You resurrected in place again?" Jiang Baili just opened the door, and when she heard this, she turned her head, her eyes were as bright as the whole Milky Way. "I cried all last night, and now I finally figured it out. I decided to completely forget about Gobi and start a new life!" After a pause, he added: "Of course I can't forget about it all at once, but I decided to be brave and go after Uncle Gu!" Luo Zhi nodded and laughed: "Well, let's go." She told Jiang Baili to go, to her mother, to Zhu Yan, to go. I was the only one standing there, looking at a magpie with its head tilted, watching them stride forward, leaving her who was guarding a cell phone that wouldn't ring. Maybe she is the bird who came all the way to announce the good news. "By the way, you are going to Dongzhimen, right? Take me with you, I happen to be going there too today."
