chapter25

Ren Zhen didn't really need to explain anything to him, but he couldn't help it, he just cared about his feelings.

"Of course not, why should I be afraid of my brother seeing it? I don't like him..."She paused, felt that something was wrong and changed her words: "I like him, but I just treat him as a brother, he is my brother... I just don't want people to see it, you know, just... It's not good for others to see it..."

She was dying, and she felt that the more she talked, the more chaotic she became, and she couldn't mention Feng Manbai directly, and she couldn't say it anymore.

Lu Cong's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and suddenly realized what she wanted to express, smiled and softened her voice a lot: "Okay, then I won't carry you, I should be able to send you back, right?"

Ren Zhen lowered his head and thought about it, but still felt bad: "It's okay, you see, my feet are really much better, otherwise I wouldn't have come to deliver medicine to you." ”

Saying that, she took a few steps in front of him, and each step was very steady, afraid that he would not believe it, and finally jumped twice.

Lu Cong held her down, knowing that she was determined not to send it herself.

"Okay, I know, then you go back by yourself, send me a WeChat when you go back. ”

Ren Zhen nodded: "Well, then you go up first, hurry up and take the medicine, remember to drink hot water." ”

When Ren Zhen left, Lu Cong didn't go upstairs for a long time, and watched her almost walk around the corner before he hurried after her.

Just past the corner, Ren Zhen hissed heavily, squatted down and rubbed his ankle that felt like it was cracked.

Not far behind him, Lu Cong pinched his fists several times and couldn't control himself and wanted to step forward, but he was worried that she would be angry, so he had to follow her all the way away, watching her limp back and move her heart tightly.

Downstairs in the dormitory, Shui Miao had been waiting for a while, and she didn't answer her phone, so she was in a hurry.

As soon as the little cripple appeared, Shui Miao ran over: "Where did you go? I didn't answer the phone, I was in a hurry." ”

Ren Zhen rubbed Shui Miao's head, anyway, she would be very happy every time Lu Cong rubbed her head.

"It's okay, I'll send a medicine to Lu Cong, he sang for a day today, and his voice was hoarse. ”

This action is really very useful, Shui Miao suddenly became angry a lot, only pouted and complained a few words, and hurriedly took her back slowly in distress.

Lu Cong hid by the next building and watched them enter, so he was relieved to leave.

At night, Lu Cong leaned on the bed and couldn't sleep, his throat was much more comfortable after taking the medicine, and he didn't know if it was because of the good effect of the medicine, or because the person who took the medicine was special.

Ren Zhen has always been a magical existence for him since he was a child.

It's just that from meeting again to now, she has always kept her distance intentionally or unintentionally, at first, he thought it was because of Jianghe, but she had made it clear that it was not.

What else could it be? Feng Manbai? But they didn't cross path.

Or maybe it's the gossip.

But before that, she already had this attitude.

Lu Cong really couldn't think of what she was for, and wanted to find the answer, but he was afraid of hurting her.

He has always been cautious of her.

In the new week, the school began to set up the venue early, and this year there were many students, and the small venue that was commonly used in the past could not be accommodated, so the school opened the largest venue.

Because the assembly hall is rarely used, the school has been specially renovated and organized a major cleaning for new students before it opens.

Ren Zhen hurried over after class, and some students had already started cleaning, she probably glanced at the people she didn't know, so she ran to the corner to get a sweep and find a job for herself.

Most of the boys are doing manual work, and they are responsible for cleaning up some of the waste left behind after the renovation, as well as paint buckets. The girls are responsible for sweeping and mopping the floors and wiping down the seats.

The waste on the stage had just been cleared, and the ash was relatively large at this time, and the girls were reluctant to go up to clean it, so Ren Zhen looked at it and carried the sweep up to it.

As long as it's a stage, she likes it, whether it's clean or not.

……

There was an iron frame set up in the attic above the stage, in order to adjust the lighting staff to stand safely, Xu Nuonuo and the two little sisters were hiding in it and chatting lazily.

Ren Zhen heard a sound from above, thinking that it was another classmate cleaning, but he didn't pay attention.

As a result, Xu Nuonuo noticed her, Xu Nuonuo leaned on the fence and looked at the people on the stage, with a hint of coolness in his eyes.

"Sister Nuno, what are you looking at?" asked the girl next to her.

Xu Nuonuo looked back at the girl who was speaking, and pursed his lips with a shallow smile: "Ren Zhen." She tilted her head down, then narrowed her gaze at the three paint buckets not far away.

The girls followed suit, and each laughed with bad intentions.

Everyone stood up back and forth, patted the ashes on their bodies, and the two girls ran over and put the paint bucket next to Xu Nuonuo's feet: "Sister Nuonuo, come on." ”

Xu Nuonuo laughed contemptuously: "Look at me if I don't clean her up." ”

She picked up one of the buckets and raised her chin at the accomplice's wink.

In a moment, one of the three of them quickly set up their positions, and one of them yelled at Ren Zhen, who was cleaning, Ren Zhen raised his head when he heard the sound, and in the blink of an eye, paint fell from the sky, and she was so frightened that she couldn't move in place.

In the next second, the three colors of red, green and yellow poured down the top of his head, Ren Zhen lowered his head and pursed his lips, and his two hands were clenched into small fists.

The surrounding classmates were all stunned, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood in place, but because they knew who the people above were, none of them dared to come forward to help.

"Ren Zhen!"

The next wave of attacks was about to hit Ren Zhen again, and Lu Cong, who was hurrying over, jumped up from under the stage, lowered his head and took Ren Zhen into his arms, and the paint fell on Lu Cong's head.

Ren Zhen's body in his arms trembled slightly, as if he was afraid and as if he was crying.

Lu Cong's arms tightened a little, and the three colors were mixed together and dripped down the ends of his hair, and his heart was on fire.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Ren Zhen's lowered eyelashes raised slightly, 9 years ago, it was also in this kind of panicked and helpless situation that she said to himself: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

In an instant, Ren Zhen's tears fell one after another, and the paint layer on the ground soon seemed to be full of small crystals.

Xu Nuonuo saw that it was Lu Cong, so he put down the paint bucket and fled through the back door.

As soon as the person came out, one accidentally crashed into Mao Cai's arms.

Mao Cai was startled for a second and hurriedly raised his two hands, his head skimmed to the water seedlings beside him, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Shui Miao sighed heavily, squinted at Xu Nuonuo, who was in a panic and was lying in Mao Cai's arms, didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to walk forward.

Mao Cai just wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Xu Nuonuo, and asked the warm family about his shortcomings.

It took a lot of effort to get rid of the man, but by the time he chased him again, the water seedlings had long since disappeared.

He stood left and right at the crossroads, scratching his hair irritably, and looking aggrieved.

The classmates in the assembly hall have dispersed, Shui Miao met Jiang He who had just finished class halfway, and the two of them were preparing to go over to find Ren Zhen to see if she needed help.

When they walked near the venue, several classmates passed by them with their heads crossed, discussing the paint incident just now.

The two of them fixed their steps and glanced at each other, Jiang He frowned and squeezed his fist and ran towards the conference hall, Shui Miao couldn't keep up with his pace even if he ran with his life, so he lowered his head and ran all the way.

……

Ren Zhen has been hiding in Lu Cong's arms and has no courage to leave, she doesn't want him to see her embarrassment, let alone see her red eyes.

At this time, his arms are like a small haven, and he doesn't have to think about anything in it, and he is no longer afraid.

Ren Zhen was holding Lu Cong's coat with his two hands curled up in front of his chest, his face was tightly pressed against his body, his heart skipped a beat, and he was extremely relieved to hear.

Lu Cong hugged her quietly and didn't mean to let go, he wanted to hold it like this, and he was old in the blink of an eye.

The door to the convention hall was ajar, and a deep orange twilight cast through the gap.

After a moment, the light dimmed, and a figure fell to the ground, and Jiang He stood in the door against the light, his fist clenched tighter.

He couldn't care about their hugging posture anymore, there was a mess in front of him, most of the paint on the ground had dried, and the two people on the stage were colorful from head to toe, and they couldn't see it.

Shui Miao lowered his head and was about to die, and when he saw that he was in front of him, the person hit Jiang He with a muffled wail and bounced out again.

Jiang He was startled, turned around and fished her back, and when Shui Miao stood firmly beside him, he hurriedly let go.

Shui Miao patted his chest in shock, and when he raised his eyelids, he found that Jiang He's face was not good, so he quickly followed his gaze.

"Ah?!" The fright just now had not subsided, and the new fright made her scream a little louder without holding it all of a sudden.

In the empty venue, Miamiao's voice was infinitely amplified, and the two people on the stage both shook before they separated and looked towards the door.

Ren Zhen's eyelashes lifted, and his heart twitched a few times.

"Brother—" she let out a low cry, not wanting Jiang He to see her downcast.

Jiang He had already walked down the steps, and Shui Miao followed behind him with a anxious expression, and his mouth was broken: "Ren Zhen, are you okay?

Jiang He didn't say a word, his face was solemn, and his fists tightened again and again.

Ren Zhen had never seen him with such a ruthless expression, his eyes kept on Lu Cong, Ren Zhen subconsciously dragged Lu Cong behind him, but the man didn't move.

Seeing Jiang He approaching, Ren Zhen had no choice but to take the initiative to step forward, she wanted to hold Jiang He, but she didn't expect his arm to let people walk straight past her.

"Brother!"

As soon as the voice fell, it was just a turn around, Lu Cong had already fallen to the ground, and before everyone could react, Jiang He walked to Lu Cong's side in two steps and grabbed the other party's collar and punched again.

The corners of Lu Cong's mouth quickly oozed a faint red, he didn't want to resist, his thumb wiped the blood and let him drag it.

"Brother, stop fighting!" Ren Zhen stepped forward to stop.

Shui Miao was frightened, and ran onto the stage to follow Ren Zhen, and one person grabbed the side of the river, so that the two people could barely be separated.

Jiang He trembled angrily, gritted his back teeth, and wanted to step forward again, Ren Zhen moved quickly, and pounced on Lu Cong in front of him and sobbed: "Brother, don't fight, no, it's not Lu Cong's fault." ”
