Chapter 2 Chapter One

The moment Belle slammed the door open as usual and entered the room, Luo Zhi just put away her diary and picked up a pen to continue calculating homework problems on mathematical statistics.There was a loud noise behind her, and she took it for granted that she didn't look back.Belle sat on the bed, and she could hear crying when she breathed. The eight o'clock file that cannot be ended.Luo Zhi sighed.A girl like Belle will always be sad and never give up. The phone beeped, and Belle began to dial. "I'll tell you one last time, I know you're bothering me, but I still say the same thing, if tomorrow you see me walking with a boy talking and laughing on my shoulders on the road, and tell you that I recognize it Brother, do you care?!"

Maybe care.Luo Zhi fiddled with the nib and thought to herself, but you care about him because of love, and he cares about you because of domineering. She found that she couldn't concentrate on her homework anymore, and she listened to Belle's phone intermittently, so her thoughts on doing the questions were intermittent. It became a habit for her to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Luo Zhi watched Sherlock Holmes when she was in elementary school, and then began to pay attention to the shoes, hair, nails and other details of the people around her, so as to judge the occupation and personality behavior of the person.But now that I think about it, it was a poor imitation. After less than a week, I lost interest because of too many mistakes.

However, eavesdropping is bad nature. It's easy to change the country, but hard to change the nature - or, a dog can't change eating shit, she thought. Luo Zhi only likes to watch people from behind.Or because when she first started to know the world, what she saw was behind the prosperity. Everyone needs to build a database about the world in their minds, and the content does not necessarily come from personal experience.Luo Zhi likes to read other people's likes and sorrows, and uses this method to avoid tossing her nerves.Most of the time, it's just the moment of raising her eyes or the few seconds of passing by. A stranger's expression and a piecemeal sentence are enough for her to chew with interest for a long time.

The conclusions drawn from chewing are not right or wrong.Anyway, she is neither a judge nor a gossip. Belle, who put down the phone, finally burst into tears. "Don't cry, it's been ten minutes." Luo Zhi looked at her watch and said while writing. "I'm uncomfortable, extend the time today." Luo Zhi frowned slightly and looked back at her.Belle told her that she should not cry for more than ten minutes each time. The most important thing for a woman is to be moderately weak and moderately strong. Luo Zhi just twitched the corners of her mouth a few times after hearing these remarks, and then kindly reminded her every time, it's ten minutes, pay attention to the scale, don't be despised.

Jiang Baili has many "female rules", and the "ten minutes" rule is just one of them. Together with the Tarot cards, they guide Jiang Baili's life. Although Luo Zhi once questioned, what is the use of those principles in her life. "You never practiced." "Who said that, I—" "Don't give me an example, yours is not practice, yours is cosplay." Luo Zhi remembered that when she went to empty Belle's trash can just now, she saw a little soot scattered around, and it took her a long time to clean it up.Jiang Baili is not a tough girl on the fringe, and she doesn't like smoking. She just suddenly fell in love with the heroine in a certain novel.It's a pity that people rely on the long bar counter of the bar to spit out smoke rings under the dim light, but she herself is pitifully picked up by the collar by Luo Zhi who just entered the door and thrown out of the dormitory in the middle of practice. .

Luo Zhi believes that this failure will not cause her a traumatic heart, and after a while she will definitely pretend to be very painful to quit the cigarette addiction that she has not yet acquired and become obsessed with pretending to be an alcoholic. Watching Belle is not much different from watching TV, the only regret is that you can't change the channel at will, Luo Zhi thought, if there is a remote control, she must immediately turn off the TV. So Belle's code of self-reliance for women was never implemented.She didn't manage to control each cry for ten minutes, nor did she show any appropriate weakness and strength, only the part that was despised was thoroughly practiced.

However, being despised is often because it is so common that everyone forgets that they will become one of them if they are not careful.After all, if most girls see their boyfriend walking on the road with another girl's shoulders in his arms, and say that this is the younger sister I just met, I'm afraid they will yell like Belle. Get out of my world with your sister" and fling herself on the bed, crying gorgeously. Luo Zhi is actually very considerate of her, she likes Belle's truthfulness.Many people are willing to pack themselves as free and easy, but when they are alone, don't they lie on the bed and cry like her?

Or, like Luo Zhi, who seems to not care about anything, but actually cares most about face, and even refuses to be honest with herself. If she said she liked living in the same dormitory with Belle, no one would believe it. Luo Zhi and Jiang Baili have never taken an unusual path on the road of sisterhood.Girls who have just entered college are usually very friendly with their dormitory at the beginning, continuing the habit of high school. Girls in the same dormitory make an appointment to wake up at the same time every day, go to the cafeteria to eat together, and occupy seats together in professional classes... Slow Slowly, everyone's habits and personalities can no longer keep everyone in sync. Conflicts may or may not occur. Most dormitories eventually return to everyone's own actions.

Therefore, the weirdness of their dormitory became famous as early as their freshman year. Before the mid-term exam in the freshman year, the girl in the dormitory next door forgot to bring the key, knocked on the door and asked Luo Zhi if she could sit in their dormitory for a while, and wait for her roommate to come back and open the door.Luo Zhi invited her in and asked her to sit at the desk, then sat on the bed and picked up the notebook and looked at something seriously.The silent scene lasted for a while, the girl felt very embarrassed, and managed to provoke a few warm-up topics with a smile, and the responses she got were "Oh", "En", "Is that so", she didn't know Luo Zhi's depth, So I don't know whether I should panic or be angry.

While she was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened, Jiang Baili rushed in, brought in a gust of wind, and closed the door behind her with a loud bang. "What else do you have to say?" She shouted into the phone, completely ignoring the extra person in the dormitory. A few seconds later, the mobile phone was thrown on the table, rattled and tumbled a few times before stopping, and the slightly long mobile phone chain became entangled with the fuselage and became a mess.The owner just climbed to the top bunk, lay down on the bed in an exaggerated posture and cried, and a gust of wind caused the edge of the bed sheet and the bangs of the girl sitting below to flutter a few times.

The girl sitting at the table could already be described as pale. She looked at Luo Zhi questioningly, but Luo Zhi didn't lift her eyelids from the beginning to the end. Look at that expression, she must have been pissed off by Jiang Baili. The relationship between the two must be very stiff, unlike our dormitory... The girl's mental activities have not yet been completed, and Belle suddenly raised her head, with a nasal sound in her breath, Say out loud, "Play some music." Luo Zhi slowly raised her head to look at the bed board above her head, and said softly, I am watching One Piece. "Then make some noise, please!" Luo Zhi pulled out the earphones neatly, and the dormitory was immediately filled with Jirivala's Japanese.The exaggerated dialogue in the ears, the expressionless Luo Zhi who entered the play seriously, and Belle lying on the upper bunk like a zombie... The girl heard footsteps in the corridor, and quickly stood up and said, Excuse me, my roommate is back. Luo Zhi nodded, and didn't forget to smile politely, saying, goodbye, by the way, close the door for me, I'm too lazy to move. In the corridor, the girl exaggeratedly let out a sigh of relief and said, "You're back, I was in their dormitory just now, and I'm really two of the best..." When Luo Zhi heard it, the corners of her mouth rose slightly. If you have a baby, you have to hide it.she thinks. The reputation of the "Need Duo" has spread far and wide, so there are many boring mothers-in-law who love to hang out. Belle suddenly raised her head, crying for a long time made her voice muffled, as if she had caught a cold, "Luo Zhi, is your notebook open, can you play some music?" Whenever Belle is sad, she will be very afraid of quietness.According to her own words, it takes courage to live with a "still life sketch" like Luo Zhi. Luo Zhi randomly swiped twice on the computer touch screen with her fingertips, waited for the dormant computer screen to light up, opened Qianqian Listening, and randomly selected a playlist.The music that played turned out to be "Light Cavalry", and she couldn't help grinning silently. This scene really didn't fit. In the music class in elementary school, the teacher would always play a piece of world famous music for everyone to talk about what the music described.Her answers are always far from the standard ones, which greatly hurts the face of her enthusiastic and uncompromising little squad leader. However, it is ridiculous that she has always believed in her own music appreciation. "Light Cavalry" is probably the only famous song whose theme is not misunderstood by Luo Zhi, perhaps because the composer wrote the melody too straightforwardly.When she was in junior high school, she served as the deputy principal violinist in the City Student Orchestra. When rehearsing this piece, their first violin, second violin, and viola rehearsed one of the classic passages back and forth twenty times. A well-known musician in Beijing praised Luo Zhi by name—so the principal violinist on the right ignored her for a week. It was a well-known amateur student band in the country. In order to select musicians, it once provided free school selection places for elementary school to junior high school and a five-point bonus for junior high school students in high school exams, attracting a large number of talented children and their parents. , Of course, it also attracts a large number of well-connected parents and their children. Luo Zhi naturally belongs to the former.Not bragging, simple - because she's clearly not the latter. This is also the reason why she can be the deputy chief but the highest can only be the deputy chief. But now that I think about it, the Chief is still a simple junior high school kid, and he couldn't bear to lose face, so he just stared at her with a cold face - no matter what, it was always better than a smiling tiger. Luo Zhi was distracted and walked a long way before waking up. She found that Jiang Baili had brought back a bit of vitality to her panicked self just now.It’s still a scene that’s been staged countless times, it’s still the best roommate who needs to listen to music when she’s crying, she’s immersed in her own joys and sorrows and rarely disturbs her, there’s still a fluorescent lamp dangling above her head, and everything never changed. She glanced at the new diary protruding a little from the bookshelf, and smiled faintly. An accident means nothing.What are you panicking about? This small room, which is often heard from crying and quarreling on the phone, is actually a quiet place.From the day she entered elementary school until now, she has never had such a quiet space. Let it go on like this, she thought, the so-called stability in this world is nothing more than that.
