Chapter 66 Chapter 14 Maggie's Gift

"Hey, are you coming to eat too?" Zhang Mingrui was stunned for a few seconds before saying this. Nonsense, Sheng Huainan threw a contemptuous look at Zhang Mingrui, "Your insight has seen through this." He sat down next to Luo Zhi, and put the dinner plate on the empty seat, "I recite the book so much that I want to scold others, the life of a liberal arts student It's not human." "Didn't you encourage me to choose French and double degrees at the beginning because you wanted to experience the life of a liberal arts student? After completing the professional courses for double majors, you have to take exams, and the French tutor has to close the book. It's unreasonable." Zhang Mingrui had a bitter face.

"Yeah, when I was in high school, I saw their liberal arts students memorize to death. I still don't understand. There are only a few books, and they have to memorize them all over again before each exam, and they memorized for a long time and wrote a paper full of answers. , As a result, the comprehensive scores of essays are generally very low, I really don’t understand.” "By the way, aren't you a liberal arts student?" Zhang Mingrui looked at Luo Zhi who was facing him and said, "Did you have to recite history and politics many times at that time? You have been memorizing for two years, why are so many people still unable to memorize it? "

Luo Zhi was drinking corn porridge with her head down, and didn't answer right away. She was sitting on his left, but Sheng Huainan couldn't make himself turn his face to look at her, his neck was stiff, as if he was fighting, his eyes were level, he could only feel her movements from the corner of his eye, and his expression faded to blur. It was like sitting next to a stranger who just happened to be eating at the same table. I used to be able to clearly feel her emotional changes, although I was not familiar with it at that time, but Sheng Huainan could confidently capture the slight changes in her emotions under her calm appearance, even if she was not sure of her real thoughts behind her, at least she Whether it's a forced smile or genuine happiness, he can still tell the difference clearly.

However, he does not deny that this discernment ability is not due to his special liking for Luo Zhi, this ability has always been a small habit of his, even a trick he is proud of. Since he was a child, he liked to sit on the edge of the flower bed in the office compound with a box of chocolate milk in his mouth, silently observing the people coming and going, or after the uncles and aunts who came to the house had played with him like a formality, when they sat in the living room When Li started to get down to business and explained the purpose of his visit to his father, he stood silently by the door with the ball in his arms, watching quietly where no one was paying attention.

For so many years, although he couldn't remember who and what the owner of that cautious, humble and polite face was, there were words in the turbulent words, tiny details, peaceful eyebrows, exaggerated smirks and flattering words. The possible distorted expression under the mask gradually filled his dull growth.This kind of silent peeping is like a game not suitable for children. In the office compound, the intricate interests are intertwined, and they are crowded together like this. Is it necessary to have such a cautious face? Including his father. It is really easy to use this kind of experience to see the little scheming and vanity of the classmates around me.Although he can't experience the girl's endless thoughts, once he notices the signs, he immediately smiles and uses the gentlest eyebrows to cut off their dreams while minimizing the damage to them. He still has the ability to play this kind of trick. of.

It was as if Luo Zhi once said to him, Sheng Huainan, you are too self-righteous. But he never guessed wrong, did he? "Hey, let me ask you, aren't you a liberal arts major? Do you all rush to memorize before the exam?" Zhang Mingrui tapped the table with the end of his chopsticks. "Oh?" She raised her head, tilted her head to the left, and smiled, "I can't remember. Maybe." Can't remember? The girl next to her moved slowly and calmly, but she seemed to be unable to see anything clearly through a thick layer of white mist.Can't see anymore.

Sheng Huainan gently poked the flat rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, poking small holes one by one. He found that from sitting in this position until now, he couldn't feel Luo Zhi's existence.If a person really has an aura, then she seems to have restrained all her breath now, and she is just a person who can talk to him about the weather with a smile, and talk about boring topics such as hard work of liberal arts students or hard work of science students. ,stranger. He remembered that she was also angry once, when she asked Zhang Mingrui to buy potato chips in the French tutorial class, and she deliberately didn't look at him when she was talking, playing petty awkwardness, he saw it, but felt that no matter how cold the girl on the surface seemed Such a willful and cute side——however, at that time, reaching out could immediately redeem it.

Because he has long felt that she likes him. What an obvious thing. What now? He stopped, put his chopsticks aside, and saw the flat surface of the rice in the bowl, and the small holes he poked formed a well. "Hey, Xu Riqing?" Sheng Huainan smiled and nodded to Xu Riqing who was standing stupidly not far from the table with a plate, and then asked Zhang Mingrui who was diagonally opposite, "You two studied together in the morning? The three of you?" "Yes, the three of us." Zhang Mingrui turned to greet Xu Riqing.She walked over slowly and said to Sheng Huainan, "You come to eat too."

Xu Riqing's tone was false, his expression was tense, he hadn't figured out how to deal with it, and his acting skills barely passed.Sheng Huainan tried his best to show enthusiasm towards her, feeling a little guilty in his heart.If he had known that she was there, he would not have come here to embarrass others. He tilted his head and smiled wryly, "Yeah, I'm bored studying and want to take a break. The only legitimate reason is to have lunch." "Oh... where did you study by yourself in the morning?" She asked as she tore the bread into pieces like Luo Zhi. Xu Riqing had a pair of beautiful hands, but in front of Sheng Huainan, his movements were too weak, and the cake was torn. I can't understand it for a long time.

Sheng Huainan paused, "One lesson." The senses of the whole body are slightly tilted to the left, but the person on the left is also grabbing the bread by himself, the movements are skillful, not shy, and there is no reaction to his words. "Teach?" "Yes, it's clean and there are very few people." "Why don't you go to the library? It's so cold, and the heater doesn't work well. What if it freezes?" Sheng Huainan froze for a moment, the sudden silence of the scene made Xu Riqing realize that his words were too intimate, and he saw a meaningful smile slowly appear on Zhang Mingrui's face.

Suddenly, Luo Zhi said pleasantly as if discovering a new land, "Xu Riqing, you bought a spicy duck neck? Can I have a piece?" This interruption was really bad, and he should be able to hit the wall to find his own death after the rescue. Sheng Huainan smiled unconsciously, but saw Xu Riqing shake his head, and immediately grabbed a straw to follow enthusiastically. Luo Zhi discussed the duck neck problem. "Hey, tell me, right?" Halfway through their chat, Xu Riqing talked about Sichuan snacks, and suddenly turned to ask Zhang Mingrui. That expression was a little friendly - Sheng Huainan's heart suddenly became clear. Just now Xu Riqing panicked and said some kind words to him, and now he is probably suspicious of Zhang Mingrui because of this, so he is smiling so flatteringly now. Sheng Huainan snickered, a girl's little thought—the next moment he suddenly remembered the sentence Zhang Mingrui uttered under torture on Christmas Eve, I like someone else.Things in the world are always so wrong. In the end, they must blame each other and complain, but they are never willing to make it clear at the beginning. Zhang Mingrui was in a daze at the moment, not knowing what he was thinking.He didn't answer, which made the scene that had been eased because of the duck neck suddenly calm down again. They continued to eat their own meals. In the noisy cafeteria, there seemed to be a soundproof barrier covering the table for four. The one who is most at ease at the moment is actually Luo Zhi.Sheng Huainan felt that the saltiness in his mouth was unbearable, only to realize that he had been dealing with the plate of Kung Pao Chicken, and the rice in the bowl hadn't moved, and there was still a tic tac toe, as if it was cold. The silent meal was finally finished. Zhang Mingrui said to Sheng Huainan when delivering the tray, "Do you still want to stay in the first teaching? Do you want to go to the library with us for self-study?" Sheng Huainan glanced at Luo Zhi, and suddenly laughed happily, "Luo Zhi, are you studying in the library?" Luo Zhi raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were calm and unwavering, she didn't say anything. "I remember a text in high school called "The Gift of the Magi." She went to the library, he went to a church.It was so. "That's right, what's the matter?" Xu Riqing was the last one to stack the plates on the remnant food table, and turned around to ask excitedly, but Zhang Mingrui glanced at her sullenly. Xu Riqing was a little flustered and didn't know what to say, but he couldn't control his mouth and wanted to quickly reverse the weird atmosphere, "Come to the library with us for self-study? The library is warmer, and there is an empty seat next to it." Zhang Mingrui gave her another look without emotion, and said to Sheng Huainan, "Yes, come to the library."
