Unrequited Love (Crush on You) - Chapter 55
“You accompany me, okay?”
“what?”
They both woke up at eleven and missed the first morning of the new year. Luo Zhi was yawning on the bed, vaguely heard the upper buyer Jiang Baili hesitate to ask questions.
“He… Mr. Gu asked me to have dinner together at noon today.”
Luo Zhi was startled, and finished the remaining half of the yawn.
“So?”
“Didn’t I ask?” From the upper bunk, Jiang Baili turned over violently, and the bed board creaked and creaked, “I want you to come with me! I have agreed to everyone, and he also agreed to take my roommate with me. Can you……”
Luo Zhi was impatiently about to refuse, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Baili’s ardent eyes–the kind of vitality in his eyes seemed to be long gone.
Love is always a war between man and man. The quickest way to forget an old man is to meet a new man.
She did not tease Jiang Baili, closed her eyes and lay back on the bed: “What time is it? Can I sleep for another half an hour?”
“You look quite happy today.”
As soon as Luo Zhi got into the back row, he heard Gu Zhiye’s words, not sure if it counted as an opening remark to say hello. All I could see was the back of his head and Jiang Baili’s-Belle was supposed to sit in the back with her, but she was pushed directly to the co-pilot.
“you said I?”
“It’s you. My complexion is much better than when I saw you last night, and I seem to be in a good mood.” Gu Zhiye said leisurely.
“Have you seen?” Belle turned to look at Gu Zhiye enthusiastically. Luo Zhi was speechless for a while. It was impossible for her to truthfully accuse the man sitting in the driving seat of how abnormal his behavior last night. Fortunately, Gu Zhiye replied in two ways: “She was with a boy from the student union last night. We said A few words.”
Belle smiled ghostly at Luo Zhigui who was sitting behind, “Sheng Huainan?”
Luo Zhi sighed.
The bright sky erased the gloomy experience of last night layer by layer. When she thought of the three words “Gu Zhiye”, she even wondered if they had actually met. However, seeing the smiling face in the driver’s seat, a lot of pictures rushed into my mind for a time: broken cutlery, overturned table, Gu Zhiye who was inexplicably accosting, Jiang Baili who was unwilling to give up, overbearing Sheng Huainan, the snow-covered path, and the lie that was so absurd that she could hardly get angry.
All the pictures are silent, as if forcibly mute, under the background of the wind roaring outside the car window and the shouting of the hawkers at the school gate, it is fragmented, as if a world away.
“Close the window, I’ll turn on the warm air.” Gu Zhiye thoughtfully helped Jiang Baili fasten the seat belt, “What did you say yesterday? Want to eat old Beijing snacks? Actually, I haven’t eaten them either. They all said Jiumen He Huguo Temple is good, I think I’ll go to Houhai.”
Houhai. Luo Zhi closed his eyes silently. Jiang Baili, go to death.
She still talks very little. Jiang Baili doesn’t talk much because of her shyness. Gu Zhiye is the only one left to look for topics from time to time, such as “It’s almost the final exam”, “How about the heating in the dormitory?” , Let the scene at least not be too cold. Fortunately, during the meal, Gu Zhiye and Jiang Baili bravely started to try soy juice, and happily forced Luo Zhi to take a sip. The three of them had a lot of laughter and harmony.
Walking out of the alley where Jiumen Snacks were located, Luo Zhi told the other two that he wanted to go around casually.
Belle blushed “teng” and eagerly wanted to keep her, but Gu Zhiye smiled broadly: “Then we will go and sit somewhere else. It’s so cold. You plan to call Belle when you go back to school. Call me, maybe I can come and pick you up and send you two back together.”
“No, I made an appointment with my brother and sister-in-law on Financial Street tonight. I won’t go back to school in the afternoon. Go and play.”
Luo Zhi watched Gu Zhiye’s car leave. Jiang Baili waved vigorously inside, seeming to vent his dissatisfaction with Luo Zhi’s escape, but Luo Zhi read her happiness from every wave.
In fact, she just wanted to tease Belle who was slightly nervous, but finally remained silent. Although she has become more familiar with Belle and the relationship has become more intimate, she still does not know how to be a standard girlfriend who is willing to pierce the needle to adjust the atmosphere. Moreover, even if Belle will agree to Gu Zhiye’s lunch invitation, Luo Zhi is not sure whether they are familiar. How far is it?
Sometimes a thief inquiring with a smile may startle the son-in-law, or hurt a steadfast friend.
The most important thing is that Luo Zhi is not sure whether Gu Zhiye is a “good person” or not.
Luo Zhi stood at the entrance of the alley blankly and found that she did not know the road at all. She just hoped to create a chance for the two people to be alone as soon as possible, but found that she had left herself behind.
She never remembered the way, and always checked the map beforehand and took it with her. She walked aimlessly only once, following Sheng Huainan and in Houhai. He laughed arrogantly at the time and said to her: “Follow the master, and the master is the direction.”
You are the direction.
Luo Zhi put his hand in front of his forehead to block the sunlight reflected on the lake. It is deep winter, and the willows on both sides of the strait have become bald compared to the last time they came here. She walked aimlessly along the lake, occasionally bypassing a few elderly people practicing her voice or swords by the lake, and passing sleeping bars after another.
She suddenly thought of the uncle riding a tricycle. The depressed winter scene is like a still life picture stuck on a drawing board. Except for the bystander, Luo Zhi, he can’t find other elements that are still a little angry. I don’t know if the tricycle drivers who usually sneak around and busy soliciting customers hide in the deep shadow of the alley.
At that time, she was still eloquent, if she didn’t explain or struggle, she wouldn’t fall into the cause and effect assumed by the other party.
The coachman smiled and asked: “Girl, it’s weird for you to say that, so if someone framed you for killing someone, you are about to retaliate right away, can you not explain?”
Framed.
What a crow’s mouth. She laughed as she thought about it, but her nose was as sour as she had soaked in lemon water.
“Girls and others, or do you go shopping alone? A hundred yuan will pull you around?”
Luo Zhi seemed to be struck by lightning, his neck slowly turned around, and he could almost hear the sound of his bones clicking.
“It’s still a hundred…I really only brought twenty today…”
The coachman laughed, and she finally saw the uncle’s simple and simple face, the wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and cheeks were sunken, and the shadows were stupefied even in the blazing afternoon sun.
“Twenty is twenty, come up, take you around! I still remember you, hey, by the way, where is your little boyfriend?”
Luo Zhi stopped walking towards the tricycle. She paused and made a quick decision among the three answers: “He is not my boyfriend”, “Master, who do you say?” “We broke up” and finally smiled. Say: “We…we quarreled.”
This answer surprised her herself, as if the real thoughts were showing through her mouth.
It truly reflects how unwilling she is to give up.
The tricycle master saw Luo Zhi’s depression, and extended his hand to greet him twice: “Okay, girl, where are the little lovers who don’t quarrel, look at your quarrel, and wipe you ten dollars.” ”
The carriage made of plastic cloth and cardboard could not block the wind at all. Luo Zhi tightened his coat and looked up at the back of the tricycle master with some worry. He was relieved by seeing him wearing gloves through the gap under his arm. some.
“Master… why didn’t you introduce Hutong?”
“You don’t listen to what you say, your mind is not here, do you still miss your boyfriend?”
Although he was alone, Luo Zhi blushed awkwardly when he heard his mouth full of “boyfriend boyfriend”.
“Girl, why are you arguing?”
“Because…” Luo Zhi was speechless.
At the beginning of the conversation, a small lie needs to be supported by a whole set of fictional plots. There is a story behind every lie, sometimes it is about the liar, sometimes it depends on the person being deceived. Luo Zhi clearly touched the **** and sadness hidden behind those lies.
The story told is like the top of an iceberg, and the truth is hidden under the sea, secret and huge.
For example, she used those coincidences and surprises to deceive Sheng Huainan; another example, Ye Zhanyan used a crystal to overthrow the sweetness created by Luo Zhi’s painstaking efforts.
What happened last night has not been able to make Luo Zhi feel angry at all. Maybe it’s because the story is too awkward, maybe because the author has faded into two indifferent names for her, maybe because she is not innocent.
Luo Zhi suddenly discovered that the context of this story was so simple.
Ye Zhanyan and Ding Shuijing used their lies to defeat Luo Zhi’s lies.
Only Sheng Huainan stood in the middle, trying to find the truth.
Thinking about it this way, Sheng Huainan, who had been scrambled over and over, was a little noble and stubborn and pitiful when she was deceived – why should she hate him? He was deceived.
“It’s just a misunderstanding,” Luo Zhi smiled, “because…”
She took a deep breath.
“We are high school classmates, but I am not his first girlfriend. A few days ago, his ex-girlfriend suddenly came up and said that they broke up because of a misunderstanding. She framed me and said that this misunderstanding was caused by me. ”
Although it was a poorly fabricated and simple story, when she spoke, her tone unconsciously had some aggrieved and coquettish meanings, as if she had entered the drama in an instant. Luo Zhi couldn’t help being speechless.
“Then girl, to be honest, did you do it.”
“No, she’s talking nonsense!”
She actually said more and more loudly, and the ending was very wronged.
In front of the person involved, she insisted on refusing to explain, and made an understanding and indifferent high posture, but in front of unrelated outsiders, she was caressed and filled with righteous indignation. Luo Zhi had to admit that she blamed Sheng Huainan. He did a lot of stupid things that hurt her, but at this point, he knew her accurately.
If you want to face and suffer, you can only bring the sadness to the stranger to ask for justice.
“Then you explain to him! Isn’t this **** bullying?” The tricycle master also yelled loudly, but Luo Zhi was discouraged.
“It’s useless.”
“Did you explain that he didn’t listen, or were you reluctant to explain at all, or were you afraid that he wouldn’t listen to you after explaining it?”
The people have a lot of wisdom, and a few simple words from the tricycle master put Luo Zhi’s face in a riddle. She stopped talking.
The tricycle began to climb, the master stood up and rode again, the trolley creaked and screamed miserably. Finally he went up, he took a breath, coughed a few times, and suddenly turned his head and smiled at her.
“Girl, I don’t speak well, but the truth is the same, you make do with it.”
“……You say.”
“I think, in this life, where are there so many misunderstandings? They are all made by themselves. If your boyfriend and his former girl really love to death, any misunderstanding will not be broken. Misunderstandings are a fart. Both of them are good enough to wear a pair of trousers, so they should point to each other’s nose and scold their mother. If they don’t explain it clearly, they will die together! — Don’t take it to your heart.
The car turned a corner, and she was like a silent scarecrow, leaning to one side with the car.
“So, after they have finished playing, they are finished playing. You have to be tough. Have you ever seen an old cow guarding a calf? I didn’t mean that, but that’s your man. You have to stand up and explain it , You are his girlfriend. If he dare not believe you, he just slapped and slapped him until he understands!”
Luo Zhi was dumbfounded, half-opened, speechless.
The master’s voice changed: “Of course, you have to coax it back after the fan is done, and you just need to teach it secretly. A man wants face.”
Seeing that she just nodded stupidly, the master stopped and jumped out of the car.
“Come on, girl, don’t run around in my car. If you have this time, it’s better to find him quickly. If you don’t understand him, just call here and I will help you educate him!”
Luo Zhi looked at the black face of the master, and gradually recovered his mind. She seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, jumped out of the car briskly, rubbed her face stiffened by the cold wind, and tried to laugh to the fullest extent:
“Well, I’ll go right away!-I’ll bring you here after I’ve been trained!”
“Go! Girl, don’t shame me!”
She hopped to the entrance of the alley and waved back to the uncle tricycle, with a childish smile on her face, and her heart as comfortable as soaking in 42°C warm water. Then when the cold wind blows, I suddenly wake up.
She is his girlfriend, and she bet that he loves her, he will believe her. He didn’t believe it, so she smoked him.
The sweet story made up has a very good ending written by the uncle. She herself had a ten-minute dream in this story.
However, this is not the story of Luo Zhi and Sheng Huainan.
Luo Zhi turned his head and stared at the warm sun on the vast lake, hidden behind the thin clouds, which made people feel unhappy for no reason.
Suddenly Zhu Yan’s cool tone sounded in his ears.
“Affectionate.”
Yes, she has been working every step for so long, carefully writing down such a script, a script that has to be maintained by lies in front of irrelevant tricycle masters, now being maliciously turned by others, is she really going to Press down on the resentment in your heart, and make a gesture of resignation and self-reliance? !
Luo Zhi saw his vague figure on the glass of a “closed door” small shop beside him. She suddenly remembered the pale but firm girl reflected in the full-length mirror of the main building in high school.
Dim, but there is an unstoppable light in his eyes. Even if she couldn’t control the bright yellow suspender skirt, she still had hope for the future in her heart.
There will be many colorful suspenders in the future. The future will be exciting and different.
She was not reconciled after all.
Go talk to him.
Luo Zhi told himself in his heart.
She was trembling with excitement in her heart, and she seemed to be a little impatient to see him. At this moment, the phone vibrated in his pocket, “Luoyang is calling.”
“Brother, what’s wrong? The dinner plan has changed?”
“That’s not it. Are you busy this afternoon?”
She grinned, grinned, and decided not to go to Sheng Huainan in such a hurry, so she said clearly, “It’s okay.”
“Just right, do me a favor.”
Luo Zhi was already late when he came out of Exit A of Xidan Subway. She asked several people and couldn’t figure out the way, and came to a depressed road in a daze. The “×× steak” that she had agreed with Luoyang still didn’t even have a shadow. She forgot to charge her phone last night, and now the screen is completely dark and she can’t contact Luoyang. It was only 6:30, and the road was very deserted. Occasionally, a few taxis passed by. After thinking about it, she lingered on. It seemed that she could only risk being crushed and raised her hand to stop a taxi and asked.
Luo Zhi took out the coin and threw it into the air, and decided to turn left on the front and right on the back. When the one-yuan coin fell on the ground, it did not stop, and it rolled forward all the way. She hurried to catch up, but bends down several times but can’t get it, so she can only follow in embarrassment like a chicken pecking at rice. The coin finally lay down at the fork in the road, and she exhaled.
Front, turn left.
Luo Zhi raised his head and saw a seductive couple five meters away on the sidewalk on the left, and a small orange sign behind them, “XX Steak”.
Really accurate. Luo Zhi smiled.
Sheng Huainan and Ye Zhanyan stood in front of her, apparently surprised by the appearance of the “Cheng Yaojin” who was chasing the coin.
Luo Zhi’s first reaction was to laugh. It wasn’t a polite reflex after seeing an acquaintance-she just thought it was funny, it was so funny. Involuntarily, the soul seemed to float in the air, and began to act as God, looking down at his situation with pity.
“happy New Year.”
She swears that she has never smiled so brilliantly in her life.
