Chapter 26 Chapter 25 Red Rhododendron

"Didn't you ask him how he was doing last time? Let me tell you, he is doing well, and he seems to like a girl. They should be together soon." "impossible." "Xu Riqing, I never knew you were such a mess." "It's not that I'm messing around - how many times do you want me to say, even if I'm wrong, I regard you as a way to get close to him, but is he really so innocent?" "Innocent?" Zhang Mingrui looked at the wronged and determined face opposite, "Don't tell me, he seduced you." He didn't know whether he expected a yes or no answer.

However, the girl moved her lips, wanting to say something, but finally lowered her head in a slumped manner. "Think what you want. I can't tell, and you won't understand anyway." Zhang Mingrui suddenly felt very annoyed, the girl opposite seemed to be no longer the bright and cheerful Xu Riqing he knew back then. "Can you fucking be sober, are you stupid? He doesn't like you and you are so awkward with yourself? Why didn't I know you were so confused?" "Zhang Mingrui, I know that I am very unreasonable in your eyes. But you don't understand, there are many things you can't understand, and many feelings don't need to be expressed explicitly. I just know, I just know that he likes me, even if he is playing me. , then I didn’t make it up on my own, even if he didn’t say anything, even if I don’t know whether he is true or not, but he is indeed, it is him, he made me misunderstand, and he made me unable to let go Yes. He himself has nothing to do—how long has he fallen in love with that girl? The one from the school? Are you sure?"

"You're talking nonsense." Zhang Mingrui stood up, he felt as if he understood, but he didn't. He threw Xu Riqing in the cafeteria, went out and saw Sheng Huainan and Luo Zhi walking side by side.I don't know if they noticed that both of them were wearing white shirts, they looked so good-looking, like a couple. A pair of people.Xu Riqing is more beautiful than Luo Zhi, if the one next to Sheng Huainan is replaced by Xu Riqing, it seems that this word is also suitable for her. Of course, it was the confident Xu Riqing from before. Zhang Mingrui suddenly looked at himself in the mirror at the entrance of the third canteen.He also had many suitors in high school.He has good grades, good popularity, good looks, and good football. Although he scored an own goal in the final, he scored two more goals to bring the score back—but why, it has been a long time , His shoulders are drooping a little?

Zhang Mingrui still insisted that he sincerely regards Sheng Huainan as a friend, and he is not jealous. If he did it all over again, when he faced Xu Riqing, he would still agree to her without hesitation, "He is very nice, if you want to meet, I will introduce him." He really has no regrets.Many things are predestined, although people always have to fight for it or avoid it, but predestined is preordained. In fact, how could he not have a hunch. "Your college... I've heard of someone named Sheng... yes, Sheng Huainan... When I was in my sophomore year, our Guozheng and your biology debate team had a warm-up debate. I know this name."

He felt strange then.No one would remember Sheng Huainan's name so vaguely after being in contact with him. They argued face to face, and Sheng Huainan could only shock her so much that she would never forget it in her life. How could it be so understated and hesitant? But he was never used to thinking too much, and he still maintained the enthusiasm and focus when talking to her, and said carelessly, "Isn't he very handsome? Our number one in 521 Yicuiyuan." "521 Yicui Courtyard?" "Our dormitory number is 521, hey, isn't it very romantic?" She smiled, and her smile always reminded him of the red rhododendrons all over the mountains and plains—of course, he only saw it once on TV.

He told her all kinds of interesting things in the dormitory, about his good buddy Sheng Huainan, about how the boss had eaten Sheng Huainan's flying vinegar when he chased his sister-in-law... "Actually, as a roommate, I think he's just an ordinary person." Zhang Mingrui shook his head, "I'm not belittling or jealous of him, you know, boys are quite normal when they're with buddies, and he's also an easy-going good friend. However, when I walked out of the dormitory, I could feel that he was different from us." She smiled so brightly, and the rhododendrons bloomed one after another, he naively thought it was because of his eloquence and generosity.

Later on, Zhang Mingrui and her seemed to have completely broken off their relationship, and there was no text message or meeting.He accidentally went to the BBS to trace her ID, searched for any clues she left on the Internet, Baidu her name and secretly read any news that might be related to her, and finally accidentally saw her private blog with few visitors. "I heard the sound of flowers blooming. She didn't dare to look at him, but only dared to look down inadvertently after looking up at the teacher, glanced at him, and then moved away.But I didn't expect him to look at me suddenly, and I couldn't hide the eyes that had been floating on him all this time, I blushed and quickly lowered my head.

When he raised his head again, he had lowered his eyes and was seriously writing on the notebook, quickly memorizing the teacher's comments on the argument just now, but I saw a smile with an unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth. confidence. He saw it, maybe even understood it.He is so smart. I recalled it for a long time, and that smile was infinitely enlarged in my heart, and it was endowed with various meanings, so that I was not even sure when I was lying in bed last night-was he smiling or not? " That article was full of "he". At that time, Zhang Mingrui would no longer be confused about who the "he" was referring to.

When they met for the first time, they sat at the same table in the cafeteria. There was actually a MV of two butterflies on the TV in the cafeteria. The two of them curled their lips at the TV at the same time, chuckled, and then turned their heads to see each other. Such a lively expression, such a natural acquaintance. It was only when Zhang Mingrui looked back that he realized that Xu Riqing's enthusiasm for him really originated from the fact that when he first met, he said that he was from the School of Biological Science and Technology, and that he and Sheng Huainan were roommates of 521.But how could he have thought so far back then.They studied together, played badminton together, went to Huguo Temple to eat snacks together, she held an umbrella for him on the way to shade him, and said that if you were more tanned, it would be dangerous to cross the road at night...

Zhang Mingrui was so overwhelmed that he couldn't remember how the three of them got together.Who made him promise at the beginning, my buddy, Special Iron, it is not easy to get to know him. In fact, when the three of them were together, he and Xu Riqing talked the most, but he could feel that Xu Riqing was packed with a sense of tension, carefully considering every word, and wanted to reach the level of every word. Everything was too similar, his dull intuition finally broke out, even though Luo Zhi was far more natural than Xu Riqing, and also far more difficult to understand than Xu Riqing, but he was sure that he actually understood Xu Riqing from Luo Zhi's eyes.

That day Xu Riqing woke up from sleep, got up from the table, suddenly looked at Sheng Huainan thoughtlessly and asked, Hey, do you see any creases on my face? They looked at each other, and Sheng Huainan said, well, it's not. Xu Riqing confessed his love that night, and cruelly confessed his love to Sheng Huainan through Zhang Mingrui. Xu Riqing said that Sheng Huainan liked me, and I saw everything in his eyes today.I didn't understand his hint before, but now I understand. Zhang Mingrui joked stiffly, saying that you are disgusting, stop being narcissistic, what did he imply about you? Xu Riqing didn't bother, and smiled contemptuously and said, okay, I'll talk about it myself. Zhang Mingrui's prospective girlfriend confesses to Sheng Huainan.When he returned to the dormitory, without saying a word, he punched Sheng Huainan's right eye swollen. However, he later apologized candidly.Because, Xu Riqing has never been able to utter any piece of evidence to prove that inexplicable love.Sheng Huainan didn't say anything, he was arrogant, he didn't care, he looked condescendingly at the bewitched Xu Riqing, and said, can you stop making trouble, wake up and go to class.I'm not qualified to teach you for the fourth child, you respect yourself. "Zhang Mingrui, if it wasn't for you—" These were the last words left to him by the aggrieved Xu Riqing. He told Luo Zhi about it at the time, but Luo Zhi laughed and said, that girl is so lucky, she has the ability to see everything as she wants to see. Then he said solemnly, Zhang Mingrui, you are a nice boy.You are very angry. He is not angry.When he saw Luo Zhi for the first time, what flashed through his mind was defense and revenge against Sheng Huainan. No matter what kind of person Luo Zhi was, at least this time he was the one who made it clear that he was ready to start and chase.Although he doesn't know what bullshit logic there is in these thoughts. However, that day, when he saw Luo Zhi who seemed to be covered in mist, he suddenly felt pity. She's a good girl and doesn't deserve to be hurt.Not only by him, but also by Sheng Huainan. Zhang Mingrui began to push Sheng Huainan towards her frequently. He looked back at the cafeteria, Xu Riqing was still sitting at the table in the distance. He knew that Sheng Huainan's smile was always meaningful. Sheng Huainan would use smooth language to save the girl's face, and cleverly bring boring topics into a good place so that everyone can continue. Put on a coat—but choose Zhang Mingrui’s coat more carefully to put on her, but forget to consider that Xu Riqing is probably just pretending to sleep—it doesn’t matter whose coat is, what matters is who put it on her coat. If she had come to a conclusion earlier, then all her actions could be understood as having ulterior motives.Zhang Mingrui didn't want to guess whether it was Sheng Huainan's random discharge or Xu Riqing's narcissism. What about himself? He looked at the glass coldly, then strode back to the cafeteria. The hall was already a bit empty, and in this season, several doors were wide open, and it was getting cold.Xu Riqing only wore a thin sweater and skirt, and sat there with his head bowed. Zhang Mingrui took off his padded jacket and covered her body.Xu Riqing raised his head, looking at him with a dull gaze. Why make such a fuss?Zhang Mingrui frowned and turned his face sideways, sighing long. "Can you give yourself some leeway? Is he really that good? If you don't get it, you will pay for your life? You have no other hope in this life?" Xu Riqing said bluntly, "I'm sorry." Zhang Mingrui was stunned for a long time. "Damn, I didn't mean..." He sat down across from her, "How long will it take you to understand, I'm not talking about letting you give up on him and accept me. What I'm saying is, if you want to open up, you have to understand yourself What are you doing. Otherwise you will regret it later.” Xu Riqing smiled weakly. "I really can't control it. To put it disgustingly, if you really love, you'll know." "I really love you?" Zhang Mingrui suddenly sneered, "Actually, there is something I wanted to ask you a long time ago." He looked at her steadily, until he saw her eyes start to flicker a little. "Xu Riqing, are you dying because of love, or because you can't swallow this breath?" When Xu Riqing was thinking about his words in shock, Zhang Mingrui walked out of the cafeteria again. He felt that he had said all he had to say, so let's retreat gracefully. But when he went out, he was filled with cold wind, and his whole body shivered, remembering that the clothes were still on his body.He admitted that at first he wanted to put clothes on her in a good-tempered manner and accompany her back to the dormitory. Not trying to impress her.He has long since given up on many things. It's just a pain.After all, the bright red cuckoo once bloomed in his heart. Damn, forget it, I don't want any more clothes.He tremblingly walked toward the dormitory with his hands under his armpits, when suddenly his mind was aroused—the wallet and mobile phone—oh, it was in his trouser pocket, and there was nothing in his coat pocket. Zhang Mingrui was frustrated.It takes such a damn hard work to be handsome once.He really wasn't the hero's life. He'd rarely thought about it, if not that day in the library. He was sitting on Xu Riqing's left, and Sheng Huainan was sitting opposite them.A few of Xu Riqing's classmates passed by, winked gossipingly at her, then pursed their lips in the direction of Sheng Huainan, and asked, who? Depend on.In Zhang Mingrui's heart, only this voice was exceptionally clear.Is he that bad?Not even a chance to be misunderstood?
