Chapter 70 Chapter Eighteen

You are the one who likes Zheng Wenrui, your whole family likes Zheng Wenrui! The moment Sheng Huainan saw the girl at the door, what popped into his mind was the jokes made by his high school buddies when they were frolicking in the cafeteria.Every time before the evening self-study, everyone made an appointment to go to the playground to play ball. There were always two or three people who either stayed in the classroom for self-study, or chatted with girls who had a good relationship, and completely forgot about playing ball.So one day Chen Yongle knocked on the table with his chopsticks in the cafeteria, and said loudly, you can hear me fucking clearly, tonight we are playing a practice match with Class 1, no one is allowed to be late for the basketball hoop in the innermost part of the playground, I'll say it again, whoever doesn't come will like Zheng Wenrui!

After hearing the last sentence, the boys who had been waiting in full force all laughed and fell down on the table, overturning a pot of braised eggplants, causing everyone in the cafeteria to look sideways. The first boy who recovered his breath struggled and said, Chen Yongle, you are the one who likes Zheng Wenrui, your uncle, and your whole family likes Zheng Wenrui! Sheng Huainan refrained from laughing too wildly. Even though he knew it was wrong to ridicule a girl like this, he still couldn't help being amused, and he couldn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt, uneasiness or anger at the joke.

No one paid attention to Zheng Wenrui when he entered the freshman year of high school.She had middling grades, spoke little, and was plainly dressed—even a little ugly.Sheng Huainan was even taken aback by this strange name when he was handing out physics papers for the teacher after the midterm exam. He asked the students in the first row, and they pointed him to the corner by the window.As soon as he walked over, the girl who was eating on the seat immediately closed the lid of the lunch box, raised her head in a panic, but accidentally choked, covered her mouth and coughed for a long time, then stumbled out of the seat and ran out of the classroom to the women's toilet. The direction went.

He stood stupidly for a while, and then found a clean place on the messy table to put down her three papers.On the white paper next to the aluminum lunch box, hairtail spines were spat out in a mess. When he returned to his seat after distributing the papers, the girl walked up to him with her head down, still smiling nervously, and said to him, sorry, I choked just now. Well, it’s good that you’re fine, and you didn’t feel sorry for me... Then you...you are looking for me...what are you looking for? I... Sheng Huainan laughed dumbfounded, and said, I'm just handing out papers. The classmate in the first row who pointed him in the direction just now turned around and laughed at him kindly, saying, "Hey, can you do it? At least you are the class monitor. When we first started school, you helped the teacher organize our files. Now our classmate I still can't recognize his name, Zheng Wenrui, I allow you to flatter him!

Sheng Huainan smiled shyly at Zheng Wenrui, and sighed, how could this girl be so transparent - he really never paid attention to her. Zheng Wenrui no longer maintained her bright and weird polite smile, the corners of her mouth collapsed, she turned and left without saying anything.Sheng Huainan sat blankly in his seat, and the students in the front row kept apologizing, saying that he was just joking, but he didn't expect this girl to be really angry. Sheng Huainan found her after school and apologized to her, but she just lowered her head and pursed her mouth stubbornly.Such a surprisingly introverted person, you can never tell whether she is angry or shy, there is no vivid expression on that face, only a pair of small eyes, occasionally looking up at him, they are frighteningly bright.

He had no choice but to apologize by caesarean section. Could it be that his blood was really splashed on the spot?This girl really has a strong taste.Sheng Huainan shrugged, bowed for the last time, picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the door. "It's not your fault. . . . it's my fault." Her flat voice seemed to have suppressed a lot of turbulent emotions that he couldn't identify, and it was drowned in the noise caused by the cleaning students moving tables and chairs, laughing and fighting, and couldn't really hear it.However, the moment she raised her eyes to stare at him, those almost fire-breathing eyes made him uncertain whether he was really forgiven or not.

"It's... what a big deal, what's wrong, anyway, I know you now, Zheng Wenrui, hello, my name is Sheng Huainan, please take care of me-look, isn't this the end of it, I I guess I will never forget you in my life." He smiled helplessly, touched the back of his head, then nodded indiscriminately, and slipped out of the back door as if fleeing. She has always been called steady, but there are times when she runs away in a daze. He really couldn't forget this Zheng Wenrui. If we say that the strangeness of this girl at that time may only be manifested in the introverted and stubborn gaze with her mouth pursed, then her changes later can be called jaw-dropping.In this way, her name gradually came into everyone's field of vision, and even became Chen Yongle's most severe punishment for those who were late to play and absent from the game.

For example, when the Chinese teacher who likes to ramble in class the most, when he was talking about it, he said loudly, "Can I have a serious lecture? Is it over?" For example, in the inter-class exercises that everyone dealt with so-so, the posture was standard, meticulous, and even so hard that everyone liked to stand behind her and do the exercises, watching and laughing until their stomach hurts. Another example is that my grades are improving by leaps and bounds. When I eat at noon, I deliberately write exercise books while eating, holding a tool in each hand, and seize the time to the point that it is frightening.

Serious, eccentric, mean. Boys like to talk about her behind her back, or sometimes it is far from "behind".The girls in the front row like to chat with Sheng Huainan and the group of boys. Whenever Chen Yongle and the others make fun of Zheng Wenrui, Sheng Huainan can see those girls pretending to be surprised and say coquettishly, how could you You said it so seriously, what are you talking nonsense, how did they offend you?Oh, oh, you are so annoying... However, the tone of voice was full of approval, and in Chen Yongle's additional "Don't you? Where did I say something wrong, look, blablabla...", everyone reaped a lot of happiness.

No one does not talk behind their backs.The existence of some people is born to be forgotten and ignored, while the existence of some people seems to be used only for entertainment, simply promoting the harmonious development of the relationship between classmates. Few people are both, but Zheng Wenrui combines the two into one. In their daily conversations and laughter, Sheng Huainan only occasionally laughed and praised them. Although he often felt that they were a bit too much, he just calmly diverted the topic to other places, and never seriously criticized them. them.His kindness made him sympathize with that strange girl, but on the other hand, his cleverness made him understand that accusations with a supreme sense of morality above everyone can't really help this girl get rid of these ridicules. It can only make everyone avoid themselves when they ridicule her.It may even bring a lot of unexpected troubles.

To put it bluntly, if you can satisfy your kind nature and smooth way of life at the same time, then maybe that is what you are after.He reluctantly participated in their boring conversation several times, and diverted the topic for her, until one day he was so annoyed that he simply put on headphones and listened to music to block out all guilt. Occasionally, he turned his head to look at her. Sitting on the left front window sill, the fat girl with her mouth pursed and her teeth biting until her cheeks were slightly bulging, seemed to have a special ability, and she could always turn her head to meet his gaze at the first moment. Sheng Huainan is often frightened by her strange third eye on the back of her head. Those eyes, always full of inexplicable flames of anger, stared fixedly at him. Just hold grudges like that?He couldn't figure it out, shook his head, turned up the volume of the music, lowered his head and turned out the physics exercise book. In the second year of high school, she had become a stable member of the top five in their class. She was still frighteningly hardworking, and was often used by teachers as a model to educate the whole class.In the sprint stage of the third year of high school, he was even transferred by the teacher to the vicinity of Sheng Huainan and the others, and was used to suppress those naughty boys.At that time, no one dared to talk about her blatantly—a lot of times in key high schools like theirs, good grades are the background of the right to speak, Zheng Wenrui is gradually no longer an unknown person, even though there will still be many people making fun of her behind the scenes, but, then There will never be any more wanton and loud laughter. What's more, when she was a sophomore in high school, she used to wear cool clothes in the cold early spring and do exercises between classes, shocking the whole school. When Chen Yongle and the others laughed and said that she was Zhenhua High School's version of Sister Furong—Zheng Wenrui rushed over in the posture of a bullfighting bull, and flew over Give me a slap in the face. Everyone was stunned. However, she did not reprimand Chen Yongle for anything. She turned her face, the veins on her cheeks trembled, she almost gritted her teeth and looked at Sheng Huainan who was standing not far away, Sheng Huainan even clearly saw two balls of jumping blue flames in her pupils. Sheng Huainan was standing in the crowd, so her direct gaze could not be confirmed as being aimed at him alone, but made all the panic-stricken crowd acquiesce that this was the girl's silent accusation to everyone. She turned and strode away, tapping her light green strappy sandals on the marble floor, step by step, clanging forcefully. Only Sheng Huainan smiled silently. interesting.he thinks. Does she have to remember her hatred for a lifetime? Sheng Huainan had to admit that he was usually able to tell how the other party felt about him in the first place.He was 100% sure of Ye Zhanyan's confession; as for Xu Riqing, when he felt something was wrong, he immediately withdrew from the threesome, although he was dragged in by Zhang Mingrui several times; After the first contact, you can vaguely touch her deeply hidden affection for him.If this instinct is not well controlled, it will go in the direction of narcissism forever, but he still has that self-knowledge. However, what he never expected was that in the first semester of his freshman year, when the weeping willow shoots by the lakeside of the school had just been dyed green in spring, he unexpectedly received a call from Zheng Wenrui to make an appointment. The phrase "I like you", because the speaker was too nervous and direct, the moment he blurted out, the tone was very similar to "Hurry up and pay back the money!" Yes, he was right all along.This silent girl is like a covered volcano. Surprised, Sheng Huainan found his expression after two seconds, adjusted him to a skilled smile, with a bit of understanding and a bit of alienation, and said, I'm sorry. The girl's eyes, which seemed to have been deliberately painted with eyeliner, brightened up a bit, then the light faded away, and she left without saying a word. It's just the back view of her bloated purple sweater and white pants with red boots, she can't see the word chic. Sheng Huainan stayed by the lake for a while.He thought of the stale air in the class in high school and the girl who barely spoke next to him sitting across a narrow aisle, as if the past years had disappeared without him noticing. Many people like to recall, and like to write some reminiscence diaries with small sentiments on space or blog, but he seems to have always lacked the intention to look back. I remember that in the summer vacation after graduating from high school, he went to pick up Ye Zhanyan at her class reunion, and that was the first time he saw Luo Zhi.At that time, Ye Zhanyan, who was a little drunk with her classmates, leaned on his shoulder and wept, saying that the old days will never come back.The student days are not coming back either.None of them are coming back. Huainan, will you come back? He said a little funny, why come back?Shouldn't people keep moving forward? Ye Zhanyan smiled bitterly and said, you really don't understand.Because you have no regrets, you never look back. Yeah?He didn't speak again. Everyone felt that he had a perfect life. The spectator always retains a dogmatic self-confidence. However, in less than two hours, when he returned to the dormitory from the lakeside, he received a call from Chen Yongle. Gossip spreads extremely fast.The arrogant "I like you" startled a pair of mandarin ducks by the lake. None of them noticed that there was a man and a woman sitting on the bench behind the tree. The boy was also from Zhenhua High School, especially Chen Yongle. Junior high school classmate.The fact that Chen Yongle was slapped by Zheng Wenrui became his great humiliation, and ridiculing Zheng Wenrui is no longer a pastime, but an obsession about dignity. "Brother, I sympathize with you, there are indeed risks under the halo of a popular lover." Sheng Huainan smiled coldly, noncommittal. Chen Yongle was talking nonsense over there, he was listening absent-mindedly on the other side of the phone, Enen, no, no, you are talking nonsense, come on, don't mention it, how are you doing recently... "Seriously, do you need me to ask her for you? I'll ask her to list why she likes you one by one, and then send it to you. You follow the list and change one by one." He was overjoyed on the phone, but Sheng Huainan was absent-minded for a long time. He knows why girls like him.Being liked is a proof of charm.But what if the other person falls in love with only your bright skin? He thought of Luo Zhi again, and remembered that when he was having dinner that day, he talked about a girl-crazed male celebrity, and he said disdainfully that it was actually no different from Liaozhai, it was just the painted skin of a goblin. Luo Zhi shook her head, stretched out her hand to pinch the skin on the back of his hand, gently pulled it upwards, and said, of course it was different.Our skin cannot be peeled off. Even if it is a hypocritical mask, after wearing it for a long time, it is still connected by flesh and blood. Flesh and blood.He raised his palm and looked at his warm and dry palm. The direction of the palm prints was clear and clean, without the slightest straight line or confusion. Through the cracks between his five fingers, he saw Zheng Wenrui standing in front of the iron gate, whose forehead was disheveled by the cold wind, and finally covered her eyes that had never been extinguished for many years.
