Chapter Seventy-Four: Li Shuwen's Sin
Sometimes "sin" is like a seed that you can't see or touch, it will quietly grow in your heart and take deep root at some point and place. Or maybe it's just a gust of wind that you think has blown without a trace, but you don't know that it has already blown the ripples in your heart.
You may not want to call this a "crime" at all, at most it is a momentary "whim", you have no malicious intentions, and you absolutely do not want your actions to cause any serious consequences.
But, that's what it says—
Don't take the evil as small.
In this world, there is never a big or small distinction about "evil", but it doesn't happen to you, and you are unaware of it.
When did Li Shuwen start planting this "flower of sin"? Maybe in the eyes of others, it really doesn't mean that he has done anything bad, even if the final result of things does develop towards the result he wants, but in the end, it has little to do with himself.
He just met Su Guo on the train home from the winter vacation that year, but when chatting with her, he mentioned that he met "her" with Qin Yao in the third canteen, and told Su Guo that I saw you at that time, "wearing a beige coat with a ponytail and talking and laughing with Qin Yao next to you".
He once regretted that he shouldn't have said that, but when he thought about it, the words he said were basically the truth, except that the four words "talking and laughing" were made up by himself.
Even these four words are nothing more than their own speculation.
Handsome men and beautiful women, walking side by side, eating a small hot pot together in the cafeteria at lunchtime, shouldn't it be about talking and laughing? Even if he didn't say that, wouldn't Su Guo himself think in that direction? What he said was the truth.
Even if he never said "talking and laughing", the last time he was in the library, Su Guo, Qin Yao and Ding Lin had a strange atmosphere, as long as he said that he had seen Ding Lin and Qin Yao together, Su Guo would inevitably misunderstand.
He had just come out of the library when he met Su Guo with a frustrated face, he had been following her, seeing her on the stairs in front of the library, hesitating for a long time, he was just about to go up to say hello, she turned around and smiled, she said, "Senior, what a coincidence, I just want to enter the library, borrow your campus card to use."
If this chance encounter with Su Guo on the train, his unintentional words were just an accident blurted out without thinking, then how could he justify what happened before this?
When he heard that Su Guo and Qin Yao were going home together, in order to wait for Su Guo, Qin Yao stayed in school for two more days after the exam. On the day they agreed that Su Guo finished the exam, he was supposed to help with the finishing work at the end of the semester in the department head's office, why did he suddenly take out his mobile phone to call his cousin who worked at the train station, and why did he rush back to the dormitory to pack his luggage and rush home?
If these things can be attributed to his sudden homesickness, then when the head of the department asked him when the experimental supplies that should be sorted out in the laboratory would be finished, in addition to saying sorry that he had already booked a ticket to go back, why did he add an extra sentence: "Most of the students went back after the exam two days ago, and now the only one who is still in school may be Qin Yao, a freshman."
Of course, Li Shuwen knew the department head's appreciation for Qin Yao, and knew that he had always wanted to cultivate him, if it weren't for Qin Yao's disdain for the role of student cadres, many teachers in their college would have already included him under his command.
As for the things in the laboratory, it can be sorted out in half a day, not much work, not to mention tired, the only drawback is that this laboratory is in the basement of the school laboratory building, and the signal is basically not received in class, and the mobile phone is also in vain, but it can make the students who are in class here have no distractions to do the experiment.
So how hypocritical and contrived he was when he asked Su Guo on the train, "Why didn't you and Qin Yao go back together". He is like a self-directed and self-acting clown, with an unspeakable dark heart, allowing that seed to break through the ground and let the wind set off the storm.
He has never been able to let go of these things he did during the holidays that year, because he has never been a vicious person, even if others do things that are sorry for him, he just laughs it off, never holds grudges and complains, let alone makes himself that vicious person?
But the fact is that he did it, he did it in a panic and recklessly, and he was quite worried about the Spring Festival that year, for fear that his momentary confusion would cause a misunderstanding between Qin Yao and Su Guo. He was envious and jealous of Qin Yao, but he didn't hate him. Because he knows very well that for Su Guo, he has never had the possibility of "fair competition" with Qin Yao, Su Guo likes Qin Yao, and the love of desperately moving forward will not change because of the appearance of him or another person. And what I like is not her persistence and open-mindedness?
So at the beginning of the new semester, when he could still often see Su Guo hanging breakfast at the door of the guard room early in the morning, when he overheard Xiaopang talking about the senior girl named Ding Lin no longer chasing Qin Yao, when he saw the mobile phone and the black mobile phone case next to Qin Yao's clothes on the steps of the court, he let go of his heart.
Fortunately, at least I didn't hurt anyone because of my momentary selfishness.
Since then, he has buried this extremely hidden "sin" that has never revealed the slightest "sin" to anyone, carefully and carefully stored it, and is also ready to never set foot in this part of his heart again in this part of his life to think that he is dirty and embarrassing.
He was a senior and she was a junior.
He has never liked those noisy gatherings that call friends and friends, but in his senior year, he was more concerned about the "scattered dinner" than anyone else, and went to Xiaopang's place more than once to knock on the side, so that Xiaopang could determine the number of people attending the party in advance so that he could position himself, and everyone was welcome to come with their families.
The casual dinner was unprecedentedly grand, and most of the life sciences majors came with a little relationship, and he reserved a place for everyone.
In the end, only two people did not come.
He was busy for half a month, took several days off from the internship unit, and finally came to some people he didn't know at all, but in fact, there was only one person he wanted to invite.
And when the party was halfway through, he insisted on going back to school despite everyone's dissuasion, and when he saw that on the path in front of the school's small supermarket, the person who should be his "best guest" at today's party was snuggled in the arms of a boy.
They hugged each other, his chin resting on top of her head, her hands in a circle behind his back.
In fact, he shouldn't have listened to the nonsense of the colleague in the internship unit, what "if you hug your loved one tightly on Christmas Eve, you will be happy"......
Nonsense!
Happiness, which is invisible, intangible, extremely mysterious and mysterious, can never be concretized, let alone "hugged" to have!
When a year later, in those nostalgic gatherings, he overheard someone talking about Qin Yao, saying that the girl who surrounded him and loved him to the point of madness, his eyes were talking about the ridicule on the faces of those people and the mockery of "Look, I knew the two of them couldn't go far......
So you see, it's useless to hug it.
