With the light behind her, her outline was blurred. It was time to go home, but Fu Shi didn't want to break the tranquility of the moment.

My feelings for Yunli did not come out of the blue.

When he happened to see her high school photo, he recognized her - the high school student who made robots many years ago.

But he is no longer the same person he was back then.

He also didn't take their dramatic reunion seriously. He couldn't be as indifferent to someone he had noticed in the past as he was to a stranger, nor would he pay as much attention to him as he did when he was young.

He saw clearly what she was thinking.

He never considered it at first.

He no longer had the strength to establish a new bond.

However, she seemed determined to fight him to the death.

Although she is afraid of socializing, she always has great courage to support her to move forward.

It seems soft, but inexplicably strong.

Unconsciously, the balance in his heart had already tilted a lot.

After knowing that the person she came to West China University of Technology to see was him, all her emotions were crushed, leaving only bitterness.

I am no longer the person you long for.

Even if it's not me, you can still meet someone who is as courageous as you.

But he couldn't accept that the reason she gave up was that she felt she was bringing shame upon herself.

It was clearly he who lacked the courage to move forward.

She shouldn't suffer any injustice.

Since she has come so far and still firmly likes him.

Then he should complete the rest of the journey.

-

Fu Shi still didn't move.

His eyes were not fiery, and Yunli could not even read any other emotions. The only thing that was certain was that he was always looking at her.

She glanced down at the cardboard drone in his hand.

Fu Shi has always been a very introverted person.

Even when he was drunk, he wouldn't say much.

Yunli, however, likes the feeling of being with him like this, although she herself is not a particularly lively person.

Yunli couldn't help but think about how she was dressed and how she looked now. Maybe the hair on her forehead was slightly blocking her eyes, and her hair had grown a little longer and it was time to cut it.

She was thinking about these things in a messy way when Fu Shi suddenly said, "When I come back from Yihe, we will be together."

Having taken that crucial step, he could no longer retreat.

His voice was quiet and hidden in the darkness.

Yunli followed his gaze and was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he seemed to remember to ask for her opinion and added, "Is it okay?"

Yunli remained silent, while Fu Shi thought for a moment and continued, "I usually don't have mood swings, so you may think I have no emotions."

"I can tell you for sure that I like you."

There was a hint of softness in his tone.

“You may feel it’s not enough, but there will be more later.”

A few words soothed Yunli's uneasy feeling.

After leaving the grove last night, Yun Li's emotions overwhelmed her rationality after hearing the hint in Fu Shizhe's words. She did not delve into his past rejection and coldness, but felt that it was enough for him to have a good impression of her.

During the whole day of the date, Yunli hid her uneasiness deep in her heart. When she first looked at the video of West China University of Technology again and saw the familiar boy in it, she felt more like a trance.

Because that was a competition that only she knew about.

After the college entrance examination, she rode her bicycle for 40 minutes every day to Northwestern University of Science and Technology and waited for more than half a month. Finally, the Unique exhibition came, but she did not see the person she wanted to see.

She didn't get into Western University of Science and Technology, so she covered up the photos in her room, thinking that she would never have the chance to see him again.

For her, it was a humble first love.

The two met again, and her original intention of pursuing Fu Shi Ze was just to give it a try.

Even if they failed, the two would just return to their previous state.

She had known him for seven years, but they had always been strangers to each other.

Even if the relationship between the two has not moved forward, there is no room for retreat.

That kind of situation is not particularly difficult to accept.

But every time I think about it, I always feel like something is missing, and it can’t even be called a regret.

In fact, she never thought that he might like her, and she never thought that she would hear these words from him.

Since Christmas Eve, she has had many concerns in her mind.

He is a child of destiny, how could he possibly like her.

Yunli himself couldn't find out why he liked her.

Still, she didn't need a reason at the moment.

If he was willing to admit it, Yunli would be willing to believe him without him giving any reasons.

Because her wishes were pure.

She just wanted to be with him.

Yunli's eyes were wet, and he tried to make his tone more normal: "Can you not wait until you come back from Yihe?"

Can we be together now?

Fu Shi smiled and said, "You like me very much."

Even if he buried it deep in his heart, he didn't want the people in front of him to suffer the pain of this competition.

"Well, you know that I have been pursuing you for a long time." Yun Li admitted that he had just confessed his love, and she didn't need to be reserved and hide her feelings.

He thought for a moment and said seriously, “So it’s unfair to you and a bit hasty.”

Yunli didn't understand the meaning of his words. She was the one pursuing him, so she directly denied his words: "We love each other, there is no unfairness or haste."

"So--" Yun Li didn't finish his words when Fu Shi spoke.

"Let me tell you."

He closed the distance.

"It's still a little embarrassing for you to hear this."

"But whatever I want to tell you, I will say it in your right ear."

--"I like you."

——"Can you stay with me?"

Yun Li's eyes were red, but the corners of his lips curved up: "You know I won't refuse."

Fu Shi held the cardboard drone in one hand, hesitated for a long time, then reached out and rubbed Yunli's head, caressing her soft hair.

Then, the hand moved forward and to Yunli's face, with the palm against her cheek, warm and dry, as if to transfer all the heat to her.

Yunli saw that he lowered his eyes and his face showed no emotion, so he asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"I was thinking about that day at Western University of Science and Technology——"

Fu Shi stared at her face and asked, "Is your face frozen?"

Yunli couldn't quite remember which day he was talking about, he just felt a little nervous.

The atmosphere is extremely charming.

Just when Yunli thought he was going to take the next move.

Fu Shize withdrew his hand and turned his face away: "I'll go back first."

The temperature on his face suddenly dropped, Yunli felt a little disappointed, and said, "Okay."

Noticing her emotions, Fu Shi said, "I'll come tomorrow too."

Yunli smiled and said, "See you tomorrow then."

Not long after Fu Shizhe left, Yunli received news from him.

Fu Shi Ze: [What time does class start tomorrow? ]

Yunli glanced at the class schedule: [Eight o'clock.]

Yunli: [Be careful on the road.]

Fu Shize: [Hmm]

Suddenly remembering the things in the bag, Yunli immediately went to find them.

The box was small and exquisite. Yunli opened it carefully as if he was holding his own treasure.

Inside was a pair of pearl earrings.

A round, pure white pearl hangs from the simple metal chain.

It feels like a perfect fit for her.

-

The next day, Yunli just woke up and received a message from Fu Shize: [Awake? ]

Yunli was still very sleepy. She was too excited last night to fall asleep. She still replied: [Awake.]

After sending this message, Yunli felt that he was a little cold, so he added: [Good morning^^]

Before she got up, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door at this time. Yunli got up, walked to the door but did not open it immediately.

The knocking did not continue.

She tiptoed through the peephole and saw Fu Shi standing at the door carrying a bag.

Yunli was no longer sleepy, he hurriedly opened the door and asked happily, "Why are you here?"

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't washed her face yet, she quickly ran to the bathroom and left a message: "Sit in the living room for a while!"

Fu Shi put the bag on the coffee table and took out the bread and milk. He took one for himself and chewed it carefully while sitting on the sofa.

Yunli didn't want to keep him waiting too long, so she quickly got herself ready.

When he walked out of the living room, he saw the bread and milk on the table, pointed at it and asked, "Is it for me?"

"Um."

Yunli walked over nervously and sat next to him, while Fu Shi helped her open the chocolate milk, inserted the straw, and helped her open the bread package.

Picking up the chocolate milk, Yunli smiled shyly: "This is the brand I like to drink."

Then she asked tentatively: "Do you know?"

Fu Shizhe leaned his hand on the armrest of the sofa, propped up his chin, and looked at her sideways: "If what you're asking is whether I'm secretly paying attention to you."

"Then I will answer."

"yes."

Yunli found it incredible, how could he say such blushing and heart-pounding words so calmly. She was speechless and turned her face away.

Fu Shi lowered his eyes and saw her turning her face to the other side and laughing, and he couldn't help but curl his eyebrows.

"Eat slowly, I'll take you to school after you finish."

"Okay." Yunli thought of his schedule, "Aren't you going on a business trip today?"

Fu Shi said casually: "After I send you off, I'll go to the airport."

Yunli: "So you came here specially to see me again?"

Fu Shize: “Yeah.”

After Yunli finished his breakfast, he lingered on the sofa for a while before packing up and going out.

As they walked along the road, Yun Li asked again, "Did you really come here to see me?"

Fu Shi replied again, "There is no other reason." He seemed not to understand her question, "Why?"

"I feel like," Yunli looked down at the ground and whispered, "you seem to like me quite a bit."

Fu Shi accompanied Yunli to the classroom door.

Standing some distance away from the door, Fu Shi took out a bunch of car keys from his pocket and handed them to Yun Li.

Yunli took it and asked in confusion: "Why did you give me the key?"
