The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Luo Zhi forced back her tears and walked quickly. Hearing Sheng Huainan's footsteps chasing after her, she just wanted to escape as quickly as possible and not let him see her disheveled state.

Zhao Shucheng happened to be coming out of the teaching building when he saw Luo Zhi and greeted her: "Luo Zhi!"

Upon seeing Zhao Shucheng, Luo Zhi walked up to him and said, "Qi Ming!"

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Luo Zhi, then saw Sheng Huainan catching up behind them, and asked curiously, "Luo Zhi, what's going on...?"

"Stop talking, can you take me away?"

Zhao Shucheng sensed something was amiss, and in the spirit of helping others, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. I need to pick up Xiangxiang for dinner anyway."

Just as Sheng Huainan was about to catch up, he saw Zhao Shucheng chatting with Luo Zhi, and Luo Zhi seemed to trust him a lot, so he immediately stopped in his tracks.

When Gu Senxiang saw Zhao Shucheng and Luo Zhi coming together, she asked curiously, "Why are you two together?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I just ran into Luo Zhi, and there was a guy pursuing her, so we came together."

Gu Senxiang asked Luo Zhi out of curiosity, only to find out that Luo Zhi had failed in her confession and had to use Zhao Shucheng as a shield to avoid Sheng Huainan.

"Haven't you always liked Sheng Huainan? Are you just going to give up like this?"

"Yes, I've given up. Since he doesn't like me, why should I keep pestering him?"

Gu Senxiang asked, "So what are you planning to do next?"

"Of course I'll focus on my studies."

"What if Sheng Huainan suddenly realizes that he actually likes you and wants to pursue you instead?"

"That's not possible, but to avoid any misunderstandings, Xiangxiang, I'd like to borrow your boyfriend."

"how do you want to do it?"

"It's just pretending we're together to discourage others from having any ideas, but don't worry, it'll only happen when Sheng Huainan is around."

Gu Senxiang said with a smile, "Of course, no problem, use it as you like."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Seriously, Xiangxiang, I'm right here, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"

Gu Senxiang and Luo Zhi looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "Are you going to refuse?"

Zhao Shucheng said helplessly, "You've already agreed for me, what else can I do? I just hope that others won't misunderstand that I'm two-timing, otherwise there will definitely be rumors on campus, and it might not be able to quell them in a short time."

At the same time, Sheng Huainan was invited to the baseball field by Zhang Mingrui.

Zhang Mingrui angrily threw the ball, leaving Sheng Huainan with no chance to hit it. He asked, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, I think you're the one who's crazy. Do you want to explain to me what you meant by the text messages you sent me before? I liked Xu Riqing before, and Xu Riqing liked you, so you gave me a girlfriend and pushed Luo Zhi to me, is that what you meant?"

Sheng Huainan said, "I just thought of it, so I sent a message. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Just now I realized, when have you ever been so enthusiastic about dating anyone in our dorm? Even if you're interested in Luo Zhi too, you want to eat ice cream with her. And then you pretend to be magnanimous and send her a text message, is that what you mean?"

Sheng Huainan said innocently, "No, I'm just curious. We were high school classmates, but we didn't know each other. Now that we know each other, I think maybe we can be friends or something."

Sheng Huainan was also a little annoyed. After all, Luo Zhi had just confessed to him, and he had rejected her. But Luo Zhi turned around and walked with another boy, as if the confession was just a joke.

"You say I like him, but I don't admit that. That's not true. Besides, Luo Zhi actually has someone she likes."

Zhang Mingrui looked at Sheng Huainan and said, "Sheng Huainan, with your ambiguous attitude, how many more people do you intend to harm?"

"Do you really think I'm stupid? Actually, I don't want anyone to get hurt at all."

Since that day, Sheng Huainan has paid special attention to Luo Zhi. Whether walking or eating, he silently follows Luo Zhi. Naturally, he also saw Zhao Shucheng meeting with Luo Zhi, and even saw Gu Senxiang who often appeared by Luo Zhi's side.

He felt that Luo Zhi was somewhat self-destructive, which was why she was with Zhao Shucheng, even knowing that he had other girls he was interested in.

That day, Luo Zhi went to the cafeteria for lunch with her roommate Jiang Baili.

Although Jiang Baili initially rejected Gobi's apology out of spite, she quickly regretted it. So when she received the flowers delivered by express, she excitedly circled the school, thinking that she had reconciled with Gobi.

But Baili had no idea that the bouquet of flowers was actually sent by Luo Zhi on behalf of Gobi, because he couldn't bear to see Jiang Baili so lonely and expectant all the time; the feeling of unrequited love was too painful.

Just then, Gobi was also eating in the canteen. He simply waved to Jiang Baili, who then put her previous unpleasantness behind her and wanted to eat with Gobi.

Luo Zhi didn't want to see the Gobi Desert, nor could she bear to see her roommate looking so worthless, so she was about to take her tray to another place when Jiang Baili stopped her.

"Please, come with me, otherwise it will be very awkward."

Luo Zhi couldn't bear to refuse Jiang Baili, so she agreed.

Gobi saw Luo Zhi sit down and said, "Why are you eating so little? You're so thin and you still want to lose weight. You won't look good if you're too thin."

Luo Zhi watched as Gobi manipulated Jiang Baili, making her run around in circles, and even touching her inappropriately and speaking to her in a somewhat ambiguous manner when she left.

"Actually, you're pretty bad."

"We don't have any grudge against each other, right? We've only met four times in total, why do you keep picking on me for no reason?"

Luo Zhi said, "We have no enmity, but we're not close either. You should spend more time caring for your girlfriend."

"I didn't hear Belle say that you were her best friend, but she seems to be quite protective of her."

"It's really not worth it for Belle to put her feelings into you."

Jiang Baili saw her roommate run away after being angered by her boyfriend, without even eating, so she quickly chased after her.

Just as Jiang Baili was apologizing to Luo Zhi on behalf of Gobi, a girl strode towards them.

"Luo Zhi, is it really you?"

Luo Zhi looked at the girl in front of her and recognized her as Zheng Wenrui, a classmate from Zhenhua High School, who was in the Computer Science department. However, the girl was quite eccentric; she was doing warm-up exercises in short sleeves and shorts in the dead of winter, had a fiery temper, and was difficult to get along with, earning her the label of "weirdo" from her classmates. "Hello, is there something you need?"

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I've come to find you for a meal."

Luo Zhi found Zheng Wenrui's words a little strange, but considering that she was her high school classmate, she had no reason to refuse her invitation to dinner, so she agreed.

But when it came time to eat, Zheng Wenrui said, "Luo Zhi, a top student in liberal arts at Zhenhua University, has few interests, few friends, no outdoor activities, and devotes herself entirely to studying. She is completely natural and harmless."

"Your assessment of me is quite accurate."

Zheng Wenrui said, "But all of this is an illusion. Your little fox tail can't be hidden anymore, can it?"

Luo Zhi looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Hey, Luo Zhi, we're both smart people, there's no point in pretending to be stupid. The other day, you bumped into Sheng Huainan, didn't you help him out of a tight spot? Did you confess your feelings to Sheng Huainan?"

Luo Zhi was surprised that the other person knew so much, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and looked at her with some curiosity.

“I’m telling you, Luo Zhi, I, Zheng Wenrui, know everything about Sheng Huainan, everything about him, everything about him. Including your secret crush on him, I know it all.”

"So?" Luo Zhi hadn't expected that Zheng Wenrui also had a crush on Sheng Huainan, and even considered her a rival in love. She had been used to chasing the light, but had ignored everything around her, never expecting that others had seen it all.

Zheng Wenrui said, "Actually, I know very well that I am not good enough for Sheng Huainan. I am just an ordinary person."

"We're all the same, we're all people who aren't loved. But you're tougher and braver than me."

Zheng Wenrui asked, "Luo Zhi, you and Ye Zhanyan are classmates, right?"

"Yes!"

"How's the relationship?"

"Unfamiliar."

Have you been in touch recently?

"Occasionally!"

Luo Zhi felt that there was no point in talking to him; the other person hadn't contacted him to reminisce, but rather to discuss matters of the heart, so he wanted to leave.

Zheng Wenrui naturally couldn't just watch Luo Zhi leave like that, so he said, "Sit down. Where are you going? Sheng Huainan is so outstanding and so good, don't you like him?"

"Just because he's nice, does that mean I should like him?"

You have no reason to lie to me!

Jiang Baili had come looking for Luo Zhi long ago. Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, she quickly came up and said, "Luo Zhi, I've finally found you."

“I should have stayed in the third canteen today and watched your dramatic reunion with Gobi. It would have been better than being interrogated here.”

"Luo Zhi, let's go!"

Zheng Wenrui watched Luo Zhi's departing figure, then slowly slid down to sit on the ground. She couldn't understand why, despite both being secretly in love, Luo Zhi could move on so quickly and turn to someone else's embrace.

She had been following Sheng Huainan for a long time, knowing that Luo Zhi's confession had been rejected by Sheng Huainan, yet Sheng Huainan seemed to have fallen for Luo Zhi. He was never late for his public classes, but would just sit behind Luo Zhi and silently watch her. Sometimes he would follow Luo Zhi after class, all the way to the cafeteria.

She had once stolen Luo Zhi's diary and seen Luo Zhi's feelings for Sheng Huainan, but that deep affection had vanished so quickly. She was filled with jealousy and resentment, so she wanted nothing more than to tear Luo Zhi's diary to shreds.

What Zheng Wenrui found even more resentful was that Sheng Huainan would rather be with Ye Zhanyan than choose him or Luo Zhi, and Ye Zhanyan was not worthy of Sheng Huainan at all, not even a little bit of his affection.

So Zheng Wenrui originally wanted to form an alliance with Luo Zhi to prevent Ye Zhanyan and Sheng Huainan from getting back together, but unexpectedly Luo Zhi fell in love with someone else, how could she possibly accept that?
Gu Senxiang only learned about Luo Zhi's experience the next day, and asked curiously, "Luo Zhi, what do you think she wanted to do?"

Luo Zhi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. After all, I have no official relationship with Sheng Huainan right now, and in front of Sheng Huainan, Qi Ming and I are a couple. If she knew everything about Sheng Huainan, she would know."

Gu Senxiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Luo Zhi, recently Sheng Huainan has been appearing in front of you frequently, even following you around. Does this mean that Sheng Huainan actually likes you now? Is this what she knows, and that's why she came to warn you?"

"Probably not. If Sheng Huainan liked me, he wouldn't have rejected me so decisively when he confessed. Besides, I'm not a pathetic person who would fawn over someone who has already rejected me."

As Luo Zhi spoke, she couldn't help but think of her roommate Jiang Baili's love life, and shook her head, saying, "Relationships can develop naturally, or they can be love at first sight, or even love that grows over time. But good love should never require too much trouble."

"Liking someone is a matter between two people; it's never something one person can decide. It's about getting closer to each other, without either of you having to pursue it excessively or expend too much effort. For example, you and Qi Ming got together naturally; there was no secret crush or any obstacles."

Gu Senxiang said with a smile, "But not everyone's feelings are like ours, and not everyone is Qi Ming. Maybe Sheng Huainan didn't think it through back then, and now he regrets it?"

"But no one will wait forever. If he really cared, he wouldn't have rejected me so decisively, nor would he have remained completely silent. He's just unwilling to accept that I was rejected and he immediately started dating someone else. It all comes down to a man's competitive spirit."

Seeing that Luo Zhi seemed reluctant to mention Sheng Huainan, Gu Senxiang couldn't bring herself to say the words she was about to say. She always felt that there was a misunderstanding between Sheng Huainan and Luo Zhi, and if this misunderstanding couldn't be cleared up, it would be difficult for them to be together.

Luo Zhi didn't want to continue discussing this issue, so she turned to Gu Senxiang and said:
"Xiangxiang, you know I work part-time as a tutor. My employer has something come up tomorrow, so they asked me to take the children to the amusement park. I'm thinking it's inconvenient for me to take care of the children alone. You and Qi Ming are both locals from Shanghai, so could you perhaps..."

Gu Senxiang said with a smile, "Hey, I thought it was something serious. It's just helping you take care of the kids. Qi Ming and I haven't been to an amusement park together yet, so let's just pretend we're going on a date."

Luo Zhi looked at Gu Senxiang gratefully and said, "Xiangxiang, you are so wonderful. If I were a man, I would definitely compete with Qi Ming to make you my girlfriend."

"What are you talking about?"

The next day.

Luo Zhi went to her employer's house first to take the children out, while Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang went directly from the school and agreed to meet at the amusement park.

Looking at the somewhat agitated Gu Senxiang, Zhao Shucheng asked with amusement, "Xiangxiang, is it necessary for you to be so excited? Didn't you ever go to an amusement park when you were a child?"

Gu Senxiang shook her head and said, "I've only been there once. That time, Gu Senxi dragged me into a flower bushes, causing an allergic reaction. My parents took me to the hospital, and I haven't been back since."

"Okay, then let's have a good time today and make up for what we missed before. But to prevent people from bringing flowers into the amusement park, we'll wear masks later."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng take a mask out of his bag, Gu Senxiang put it on and asked, "Why do you always carry a mask with you?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Ever since I found out you have pollen allergies, I've always carried allergy medication and a mask with me, just in case." (End of Chapter)
