Chapter 20: The Rupture
Father has rarely come home since his mother died, Lin Luoluo didn't care, thinking that he was going to go back to school on Monday after taking too long of leave, Lin Luoluo, who was pacing in the room with his schoolbag, suddenly raised his head and looked out of the door.
"I think I heard something." Lin Luoluo thought in his heart, he couldn't help but say that even Lin Luoluo was a little frightened in his heart, what he would hear from time to time recently, it might be a reappearance of memories, Lin Luoluo could always hear his mother open the door and shout his voice, but when he looked at it, the door was still closed and the person he missed was not there.
Yu Xuan may have also heard a little rumor, and occasionally put a bag of snacks in front of Lin Luoluo's house, and then sent a message to remind Lin Luoluo to receive it, although Lin Luoluo did not reply once, but the snacks will be collected.
After Qi Yujiu and the four of them left, Lin Luoluo rarely replied to the messages sent in the group, and only answered some questions in a targeted manner. As for Li Ya's matter, Lin Luoluo never mentioned it to anyone, but he suddenly thought about it during this time, and did a lot of psychological work on the words "those who want to stay will naturally stay", and gradually accepted it.
Count carefully, because of her mother's business, Lin Luoluo also took a leave of absence for nearly 2 weeks, although there is no so-called love for learning, but I am always uneasy, after all, it is not a joke to fall behind in 2 weeks of courses.
New week, "Lolo! As soon as Lin Luoluo entered the school gate, he heard Yu Xuan shouting from behind.
"Thank you for the snacks."
"I'm afraid you don't like to eat! Have you eaten breakfast? β
"Eat."
Yu Xuan sent Lin Luoluo into the classroom and left, although Jiang Zhijing was dissatisfied, Yu Xuan clinged to Lin Luoluo, but he didn't say anything.
"Luo Luo, this is the notes of the past two weeks, it doesn't matter if you read it and return it to me." Qi Yujiu took out a notebook from the drawer and handed it to Lin Luoluo.
"Luo Luo, when the weather is good in the past two weeks, I have taken out your quilt and pillow to dry!" Shen Chanjuan rushed from her seat to Lin Luoluo's side.
"I didn't do anything but wait for you in the classroom!" Jiang Zhijing, who may still be in a temper, said on the ground.
Only Li Ya didn't say a word, and she didn't even turn her head.
"Liya, what are you doing! Do you have a pre-class preparation? Qi Yujiu patted Li Ya's head and said.
"Don't mess with me!" Li Ya's loud scolding obviously startled Lin Luoluo and the others, Shen Chanjuan asked what was wrong with her mouth, and Qi Yujiu just shook her head.
Lin Luoluo tidied up his desk, thinking about it, let it be!
At noon, Li Ya didn't go to lunch with Lin Luoluo and the others, "Yesterday was fine, what is the situation today?" Shen Chanjuan muttered.
"Feeling bad? That moment in the morning really scared the hell out of me. Qi Yujiu patted her chest.
"Leave her alone, let's go to the cafeteria to eat." Jiang Zhijing's unusual attitude made Lin Luoluo suspicious, although the relationship between Li Ya and Jiang Zhijing is not very good, but because they are a group of friends who play, they will naturally take care of it, and today Jiang Zhijing obviously doesn't want to talk more about Li Ya.
There are a lot of students in the cafeteria, and if you can see a vacant seat, you have to sit down immediately, otherwise it may be a blink of an eye, and it will be gone, Lin Luoluo sat on the seat and watched them go to the dishes, "Alone? Yu Xuan came out of nowhere.
"The dishes of the second and third years of high school go to the second floor to fight more types!"
"Actually, it's almost the same, isn't it just that there are more seats upstairs!" Yu Xuan smiled.
"Can I sit here and eat with you?" Yu Xuan's enthusiasm also really made Lin Luoluo's stiff expression change.
"Are you hungry or not, do you want to eat me first?" Yu Xuan pushed the dish in front of Lin Luoluo.
"No need, I won't be able to eat them when they eat you."
"Have you finished your snacks?"
"What snacks?" Jiang Zhijing put down two large plates of dishes and asked.
"In the past few days when Luo Luo is at home, I have brought her snacks, and I heard that girls like to eat snacks." Lin Luoluo thought to himself, Yu Xuan, shut up.
"Oh! Snacks! Jiang Zhijing's meaningful tone made Lin Luoluo sit still, although it wouldn't be good, but for some reason it made Lin Luoluo feel a little weird in his heart.
Lin Luoluo had no appetite for the whole lunch, and just put down the chopsticks after just a few mouthfuls of rice, but Shen Chanjuan ate happily and solved all the meat dishes on the table.
On the way back to the dormitory, Qi Yujiu and Shen Chanjuan were chatting in front, while Jiang Zhijing deliberately distanced himself and walked behind Lin Luoluo: "What do Yu Xuan's snacks mean?" β
"Jiang Zhijing, you ask me like this, it seems that I am your girlfriend and having an affair with other boys outside." Lin Luoluo pulled the corners of his mouth and said.
"No, I mean you and that kid feel like they're in a relationship." Jiang Zhijing suddenly explained loudly, so loud that Qi Yujiu and Shen Chanjuan in front of him looked back at Lin Luoluo.
"And then?"
"No, then just say it."
"Did something happen to you and Lea?" Lin Luoluo said.
"Nothing." Jiang Zhijing dodged his gaze.
"It's not! If you ask me how Yu Xuan and I are, I will answer you, why do you refuse when I ask? Lin Luoluo looked puzzled, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Because I don't think it's necessary to say it!"
"Then when you ask me how Yu Xuan and I are doing in the future, I also say that there is no need to be good." Lin Luoluo said and quickened his pace and walked forward.
"I don't say I think it's going to make you all unhappy to say it!" Jiang Zhijing grabbed Lin Luoluo with one hand.
"Don't you see what Liya's attitude is today? Yu Jiu and Chanjuan don't think about anything at all, just forget it, do I have to pretend not to see it when I see it? β
Jiang Zhijing looked at Lin Luoluo and didn't speak.
The night beforeβ
"Have a late-night snack?" Jiang Zhijing received a private message from Li Ya.
"Yes! Then I'll pick up Luo Luo, and your address will be sent to me later. β
"No, it's just the two of us!"
"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhijing didn't know much about it.
"If it's just the two of us, don't you want to come out?" Li Ya pressed the phone.
"You send me the address."
By the time Jiang Zhijing arrived at the agreed barbecue stand, Li Ya was already sitting and waiting, "Are you so fast!" Jiang Zhijing said jokingly.
"I'm walking close to the neighborhood."
"That's it!" Although Jiang Zhijing looked at the menu, he obviously felt the awkwardness of the atmosphere.
"Don't you really like Luo Luo and Yu Xuan together?" Jiang Zhijing looked up at Li Ya in surprise, and when he saw Li Ya talking casually, he lowered his head and looked at the menu again.
"It's going to be a little! After all, I don't know Yu Xuan very well, and I don't know whether others are good or not. β
"You've protected Lolo too well."
"Actually, I don't think I've done a good job, but I don't think I've protected her at all, and if I really protected her too well as you said, she wouldn't have done anything like that." Jiang Zhijing lowered his eyes.
Li Ya looked at Jiang Zhijing's appearance and was silent.
"Don't talk about it, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat." Jiang Zhijing said with a smile.
"You really like Lolo."
"You should have heard Yu Jiu say it! I really liked Lolo when I was in junior high school, and now I'm just a friend! Jiang Zhijing joked.
"Are they really just friends?" Li Ya asked.
Jiang Zhijing waved his hand and called the waiter to take the menu away, and said: "Luo Luo thinks it's better to be a friend, then I can only accept the identity of a friend, it's better than nothing!" β
"If Luo Luo and Yu Xuan are together, will you be angry?"
"Lea, what are you calling me out for today? Do you want to test my sincerity for Lolo? Jiang Zhijing laughed.
"Nope! I just want to know what you think. Riya lowered her voice.
"Do you have something to tell me, isn't it just for a supper?" Jiang Zhijing asked softly.
"Would you like other people, like falling in love with other girls or something?" Riya lowered her head, and her voice became softer and softer.
"It's also possible that if I meet someone I like more in the future, I will definitely pursue it." Jiang Zhijing looked at the guests who entered the door and said.
"And now?"
"Now? Probably not...... Riya? Aren't you? Jiang Zhijing suddenly came back to his senses.
"Haha, maybe I'm thinking too much." Seeing that Li Ya didn't react for a long time, Jiang Zhijing explained with a smile.
"You're not thinking too much." Li Ya raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhijing.
At this time, the waiter served the skewers, and Jiang Zhijing awkwardly reached out to get the skewers to hide his panic, but he felt how stiff the outstretched hand was.
"You confessed to Lolo! She didn't accept it, Luo Luo herself knew that it was impossible to be with you now, in other words, she felt that she couldn't be with you anymore. β
"What do you mean? What did she tell you? She wants to be with me, doesn't she? Jiang Zhijing asked happily.
"Maybe she thought about it, but she doesn't think she's worthy of you now." Riya replied with a sip of water.
"Why don't you deserve it?"
"She's had something like that, and she's not worthy of you anymore."
"Lolo said it himself?" Although she asked so, but for Lin Luoluo's many years of understanding, she would not say such a thing to a person so bluntly, even if it was really Lin Luoluo's heart, she only thought in her heart, and she would not say it.
"Yes." After a long time, such a word came out of Liya's mouth.
"If Lolo really thinks so, what do you think?" Jiang Zhijing no longer had the appetite to eat, and his words became sharp.
"I think Lolo knows very well."
"What do you mean by being clear?" Jiang Zhijing's words were displeased.
"Knowing? Self-knowledge? Liya asked tentatively.
"Do you think she knows it or does she know it?" Jiang Zhijing sneered.
"I don't mean that, it's that onlookers will think that Lolo is self-aware, and it's not a derogatory term." Riya hurriedly explained.
"You're a bystander, so you think so, right? If Li Ya said that you asked me out tonight just to sour Luo Luo's past experience, then I think I will go back first, you must know that the words spoken by the mouth will hurt a person, and if it is serious, it may make people die, so I advise you to think twice before speaking. β
"By the way, I don't actually say anything like that, but today I want to say to you that if you don't think friends are important to you, we won't be friends anymore from now on, so let alone anything like, it's impossible!" After Jiang Zhijing finished speaking, he walked to the cashier counter to settle the account and left.
Although Li Ya did not intend to hurt Lin Luoluo in her heart, the jealous devil in her heart played with Li Ya's heart, and when she said those words that were not for Lin Luoluo, Li Ya understood that she couldn't turn back.
