"Shao Mingwei."

Shao Mingwei paused, looked back at the person who came, and smiled: "Xi Zi."

The girl named Xi Zi had a beautiful face, bright eyes and white teeth, and her cheeks were dyed crimson because of her hurried steps, as bright as peaches and plums. Seeing Shao Mingwei looking at her, she unconsciously slowed down to straighten her hair, "Did you go home yesterday?"

Shao Mingwei nodded, "Mmm".

"Then..." Xi Zi was a little embarrassed, as if he was not used to such a straightforward initiative, "Have you had breakfast?"

Shao Mingwei saw the exquisite and beautiful bento in his hand, but he pretended to be puzzled and said, "I ate it at home."

"Is that so..." The disappointment in the girl's eyes was about to overflow, and the hand holding the bento shrank back subconsciously.

Shao Mingwei couldn't bear to see her like this, but resisted the urge to comfort her and said, "If I'm fine, I'll go up first, there will be classes later."

After he was about to leave, Xi Zi stopped him again and asked carefully, "Ming Wei, what's the matter with you recently?"

Shao Mingwei pursed his lips and said, "No, it's all good."

"Then why are you avoiding me?" Xi Zi looked at him puzzled and frustrated as if he couldn't bear it.

"without me… "

"You have it! You hardly ever reply to my WeChat. Even yesterday, I asked Liu Yang in the morning to find out that you went to work and didn't return to the dormitory." The more the girl said, the more aggrieved her, her eyes were faintly red, and she didn't understand why she still did it before. Well, she even thought that they would be together in the end, but now Shao Mingwei suddenly started avoiding her.

Shao Mingwei sighed inwardly. Xi Zi and he are both members of the student council and ministers of the Department of Literature and Art. In the past two years, the two have planned many successful campus activities together and know each other very well. Xi Ziren is beautiful, with excellent academic performance, strong work ability, gentle temper but not frightened. She is a very good girl, and many people are pursuing her. Shao Mingwei knows that Xi Zi likes him. Although he doesn't know if he likes her, he doesn't hate her, and he appreciates her very much. He even thinks he likes her, so he can try it with her, so he doesn't show rejection mean. But before that, he knew that Xi Zi's family was rich, and he had seen the limousine that sent Xi Zi to school. At first he felt that he was still young, and if he was with her, he would barely match her with hard work. However, Rong Rong's illness made him see the huge gap between him and Xi Zi, not to mention that he was drinking with him in a place like the night. He is really not a good match. I wanted to gradually distance myself, and I didn't want to talk straight and lose face to the girl, but Xi Zi would definitely be able to detect and understand what he meant.

"sorry."

Shao Mingwei whispered a word without beginning and end, but Xi Zi understood it all at once. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she still asked, "Why? What's wrong with me?"

"No, you're fine, it's my problem."

Xi Zi was very sad, tears wet her cheeks, "You're fine, you just don't like me..."

Shao Mingwei felt apologetic, he raised his hand and touched her head gently: "It's really my problem, I'm not worthy of you."

Xi Zi raised his head and looked at him: "If I say you are worthy, will you stay with me?"

Shao Mingwei looked at her helplessly, as if she was Shao Rong and said something unreasonable when she was very uncomfortable: "Okay, it's almost time for class, go back."

Shao Mingwei stood with Xi Zi in a low mood for a while until she calmed down a little. Although the girl has a good temper, her own conditions make her proud and confident. She said to Shao Mingwei, "Since you have rejected me, so be it. We will still be friends when we meet in the future. I will leave first."

Shao Mingwei watched her leave, not very clear but not very sad either. He felt that his ability and interest in liking people was probably consumed by life.

Inexplicably, he suddenly remembered that in the dark carriage last night, when Min Yu held his hand, those drunken eyes like autumn water.

There seemed to be some kind of emotion and... yearning in it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the energetic students on campus are either alone, or in groups, or hurrying, or laughing and playing, all of which have added youthful vitality to this well-known century-old university. Shao Mingwei stood silent for a long time, took out his mobile phone and called Sister Zhang.

"Sister Zhang, after thinking about it, I will only accept female guests. I will not accept orders from male guests."

Sister Zhang had just woken up, and her voice was laziness that was characteristic of waking up: "What? Boss Min took advantage of you?"

"No." Not only no, Shao Mingwei remembered that the other party was very gentle and polite, and he was a full-fledged gentleman.

"Then what kind of virtuous woman are you?" Shao Mingwei heard the sound of liquid flowing against the glass on the other end of the phone. She guessed that Sister Zhang poured a glass of red wine. She often said that red wine can resist aging and improve beauty. There was a slight swallowing sound, and after a while, Sister Zhang said, "I don't want to say how powerful and rich Min Yu is, it can always be seen on TV news. You said that you were short of money, a talented person was born to accompany the wine, and now You don't want to have a great opportunity to make money in front of you. If people don't take advantage of you, and if you're homeless, I'll let you accompany you for a drink. Why don't you do it? Are you out of your mind?"

When she got angry, Sister Zhang's Shanghai accent came out.

Shao Mingwei was silent. Sister Zhang said that Min Yu just asked him to accompany him for a drink, but he knew it was different. Other guests paid for his labor to accompany the wine, and the money and goods were lost. And what Min Yu wanted, he couldn't give. He couldn't pretend to be innocent, he took other people's money in vain, but he couldn't hand over the goods.

"It's alright, alright, if Mr. Min comes again in the future, I'll say you're not here. You'll still greet the female guests in the future." Without hearing Shao Mingwei's words, Sister Zhang knew what the upright and slightly silent young man was thinking about and what she was thinking about. Not the same, "I really owe you every day."

"Thank you, Miss Zhang."

Shao Mingwei hung up the phone and stared at the phone for a while.

In the next few days, Min Yu came to the night to look for Shao Mingwei several times, but was blocked by Sister Zhang for various reasons. What kind of person is Min Yu, and how can he not know what Shao Mingwei means, but he is gentle and can't do anything to bully others, so he gradually stopped coming.

Shao Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, while deliberately ignoring the slight strange feeling in his heart.

On this day, Shao Mingwei changed clothes in the staff lounge and was called by Sister Zhang to her office.

"Sister Zhang." After Shao Mingwei knocked on the door, she heard Sister Zhang say "come in" and pushed the door in.

"You're here." Sister Zhang was sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, looking leisurely.

"Sister Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?"

"No, this is what Mr. Min asked me to pass to you yesterday." Sister Zhang raised her chin and pointed to a large, well-packaged box on the dark table.
