Yun Li calmed down and thought back to what he had just said. He realized that he was impulsive and said hesitantly, "I didn't mean to be mean to you."

"Um."

Fu Shi didn't care.

Yunli secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of how he had just thrown away the beer, she bit her lip and asked tentatively, "Did you throw the beer because I was... angry?"

She paid attention to the expression on Fu Shizhe's face. He put the spoon in the bowl and did not deny it: "Maybe he was scared."

He looked as if it had nothing to do with him, with no extra expression. Even when he looked up at her, his eyes were so clear that no other meaning could be read.

It didn't seem to be what she imagined, he had no other intentions.

After sitting for a while, Yunli recalled the stomachache he had this afternoon, and couldn't help but whispered, "I don't want to interfere too much in your life, but your stomach is not good, and drinking is very harmful to your stomach."

"If you are in a bad mood, you can tell your friends. If you don't have any friends, I can reluctantly be your friend..."

Fu Shizhe: "You don't look too reluctant."

Yunli said bluntly: "Then I don't want to be friends."

“…”

I don’t know why, but after being rejected so decisively and ruthlessly by Fu Shizhe, Yun Li spoke in a somewhat free and easy manner.

When she said this, Fu Shi was not angry.

After two people have been together for a long time, she doesn't have to be as cautious about everything as when they first met.

Yunli: "Why did you get here by car?"

Fu Shize: "Let's talk about tomorrow."

When he heard it was about work, Yunli put away the rest of his thoughts and said, "Go ahead."

Fu Shi packed up his things and sat aside to play 2048, and casually explained the procedures for tomorrow.

Yunli stared at his profile. He calmly clicked and slid on his phone. After playing for a while, he politely said, "I'll sit for a while. You can't quit halfway."

"Oh, don't worry, I don't have anything to do right now."

Fu Shi didn't ask her why she was in front of the hotel where he was staying. He was not a fool, and Yun Li didn't hide his motives and purposes at all.

After playing 2048 for more than an hour in the car, the two had a brief chat and Fu Shi got out of the car.

After returning home, Yunli sent a WeChat message to Fu Shizhe to report that she was safe. He replied within a few minutes. There was only a simple "hmm" on the screen, which was enough to make her secretly happy.

The next day, Yunli drove to the printing shop opposite West China University of Technology forty minutes early to pick up the brochure. He parked the car inside the School of Control Sciences and walked to the coffee shop in the corner of the first floor with the brochure.

Yunli ordered the food at the front desk and chose a seat outside to sit down.

The classroom where the meeting was held was next to the coffee shop. There was still a quarter of an hour before the meeting. Teachers and students began to arrive at the coffee shop one after another. Yun Li was eagerly waiting, and when he saw Fu Shizhe following the crowd into the room, he waved to him.

Fu Shi walked over.

Yunli pulled the chair next to him slightly further away: "Would you like to sit here later?"

Fu Shi didn't answer directly: "I'll go order."

Yun Li's eyes followed Fu Shi Ze. He stopped at the ordering area and stood there for a while. Then four or five older people came over to chat with him. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time.

"Hi, nice to see you again."

The voice sounded familiar. Yunli looked up and saw the man with glasses whom he had met the day before. He hung his bag on the back of a chair in a familiar manner, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Yunli: "...This position is occupied."

"Not yet!" The man with glasses seemed to think Yunli's words were just an excuse, and said cynically, "Why don't you consider adding me on WeChat?"

Yunli shook his head: "No."

After being rejected, the man with glasses didn't take it to heart: "Although you said you are Fu Shi Ze's girlfriend, everyone in the school knows that he is gay. You are a beautiful girl, don't be fooled."

Yunli: “…”

"I've been at West University of Science and Technology for eight years and know a lot about Fu Shi Ze. If you want to know, I can tell you that we can meet often in the future."

This person had bad intentions, and Yun Li had not intended to bother him too much. But his words just now hit her hard, and she had almost no chance to get any information about Fu Shi Ze in the past.

Seeing that she hesitated, the man with glasses took out his mobile phone and said, "Scan me."

Yun Li was still hesitating, and Fu Shi came over with a plate, stood next to the man with glasses, and said expressionlessly: "This is my seat."

The man with glasses didn't continue to argue. He quickly stood up and gave up his seat, nodding politely to Fu Shizhe: "Hello, Senior Brother Fu, I'm Chen Lirong, a joint PhD student of Teacher Shi and Teacher Xiang."

“…”

This guy, damn, changes his expression so quickly.

Chen Lirong acted very tactfully. After politely complimenting Fu Shize, he stared at the last seat at the table and said, "There's still a seat here. Senior Brother Fu, you see me sitting here..."

Fu Shi pulled the extra chair out and pushed it directly to the next table.

He sat down indifferently and opened the bag of toast, as if the person next to him didn't exist.

After Yunli arrived at the classroom, Fu Shi pointed to a box of water at the door and asked her to put a bottle at each seat and a copy of the printed materials at each seat.

After decorating the classroom, Yunli finally had some free time.

After struggling for a long time, she walked up to Fu Shizhe and said, "It will end tomorrow. When did you book your return ticket?"

"Wednesday." Fu Shize didn't intend to hide it.

"I've made a reservation, too. It's for Thursday." Yunli opened a bottle of water and asked casually, "What time did you make the reservation?"

Fu Shi lowered his eyes and gave a specific time based on the information in his memory: "Six fifteen."

"Oh. This place is quite far from the airport. How about I take you there when the time comes?"

"..." Fu Shi expressed his rejection with his eyes.

After Fu Shi Ze went on stage to give his speech, Yun Li sat in the last row and secretly used the booking software to search for a flight back to Nanwu at 18:15 on Wednesday. Fortunately, there was only one flight at that time, so there was no need to worry about booking the wrong flight.

Seeing that there was only one seat left in economy class, Yunli placed the order immediately.

After booking the flight tickets, Yunli looked up with a guilty conscience, while Fu Shi was still introducing the tracking accuracy of these VR devices to the people in the front row.

She turned on the camera and secretly took a photo while Fu Shizhe was not paying attention.

"For precise tracking, this VR product uses real-time differential GPS technology..."

Yunli didn't quite understand what Fu Shize was introducing, but he still listened attentively. Throughout the introduction, he was relaxed and comfortable, and his language was fluent. Even when he used unfamiliar academic vocabulary, he remained consistent and at ease.

This is how he should be.

The chair next to her made a noise. Yunli turned around and found that it was the man with glasses again. She was startled and moved to the side.

On the stage, Fu Shi suddenly paused.

He continued: "Indoor and outdoor body positioning..."

Chen Lirong unconsciously moved one position towards Yun Li.

Fu Shizhe's gaze moved to the last row of the classroom, and he was speechless for several seconds.

At this time, Chen Lirong showed Yunli a photo. This photo was taken from across the corridor. Fu Shi and another boy were lying on the railing, both holding a cup of milk tea in their hands, and seemed to be chatting.

Yunli wanted to take a closer look, but Chen Lirong switched to his WeChat QR code. Faced with a dilemma, Yunli added him anyway.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember the product details clearly. Let me get the information."

Fu Shi walked off the stage as if nothing had happened, and went straight to the last row. When he raised his eyes, they made eye contact with Chen Lirong, and stayed on him for several seconds.

He reached out and took the brochure on Yunli's desk, and put his hand on Yunli, so she sat in the next seat.

The brochure touched Chen Lirong, and Fu Shi lowered his eyes, waited for a long time, and said indifferently: "Sorry."

When Fu Shizhe returned to the stage, Yunli didn't know why Chen Lirong no longer insisted on sitting next to her, but stood up and changed seats.

After the meeting, several professors and students stayed in the classroom. An old professor with half gray hair walked up to Fu Shizhe, said a lot of things in his ear, and finally patted him on the shoulder.

He was not impatient and listened quietly the whole time.

After packing up the extra brochures, Yun Li followed Fu Shi Ze out the door. He put his hands in his pockets and walked at a brisk pace.

"Was that your mentor just now? Shi, Shi Xiangzhe?"

"Um."

"Then the man wearing glasses just now, is he your junior fellow apprentice..."

Yun Li was not sure how credible Chen Lirong's words were. If he was Fu Shizhe's junior fellow apprentice, then it shouldn't be too outrageous.

The reason Yunli didn't want to be rejected next time was because Fu Shize would say: I like boys.

Hearing her question, Fu Shi stopped, took out his phone with a cold face and called a taxi: "I'm leaving."

This time someone took the order immediately. The car was inside West China University of Technology and arrived at the gate of the School of Control Science in a short while. Yun Li saw him open the car door without even looking back.

"Wait a moment."

Yun Li's little feeling of loss didn't last long. She stuffed another brochure into Fu Shi Ze's hand, blushed, took a step back, and waited for him to get in the car.

Fu Shi was in a bad mood. He fastened his seat belt as soon as he got in the car and threw the brochure into his bag with a cold face.

After a while.

He took out the brochure again and opened it. Inside was an origami moon, the surface of which was smoothed, with a sticky note attached to it.

"Seeing you is like seeing the moon."

…

On Tuesday night, Yunli packed her luggage to take back to Nanwu. She sat on the carpet, wrapped in a plush robe, looking at the memo on her phone and checking the items in her suitcase. Suddenly, she stopped and looked up when the wind blew.

The window opened again.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

Silence for three seconds. She pressed her hand down, and the door opened a crack. Yunli looked over, and as expected, she saw the only creature in the house who would knock on the door before entering her room.

The boy had clear eyes and a pair of canine teeth, the same as hers, showing when he smiled. It was obvious that he came with a purpose.

But he was unlucky at the start, and the words were blocked by the wind before he could finish his words. Yun Ye's handsome face was distorted for a moment, and he jumped up and down in a cold voice, "Damn it, Yun Li, why is your room so cold!"

Yunli continued to clean up: "Help me close the window."

Yunye was very obedient, jumping and running over to close the window. He tried twice, but failed, and wondered, "Yunli, is your window broken?"

"It seems so," Yunli said, "It can't be closed. It opens when the wind blows."

Yunye nodded, not paying much attention. When he sat down on her bed, he hesitated to speak, and soon stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and sat down again.

Stand up again.

sit down.

Stand up and take two more steps.

Like having a thorn on the butt.

Distracted by his actions, Yunli asked with concern: "Do you have hemorrhoids?"

Yunye was furious: "No!"

"It's OK if it's not." Yun Li thought for a moment and said soothingly, "At your age, it's not uncommon for you to have this problem since you sit in your seat and study all day. Go out more often, drink more water, and don't eat too many hot foods--"

Yunye interrupted her: "I don't have it!!"

"I know." Yun Li smiled, not being disturbed at all, and continued, "Just go to the toilet normally these few days. If you really can't, don't force yourself to go to the toilet."

“…”

"Let's observe the situation first. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the hospital."

Soon, Yunye locked the door and pretended to be having a secret meeting.

Yunli paused for a moment, then silently stuffed the wallet on top under his clothes, and said, "Don't even think about it. I don't have any money."

"..." Yun Ye had just finished preparing himself mentally when he was choked back by these words, "Who do you think I am!"

"Oh, I'm being mean," Yunli reminded, "You still owe me three hundred and two dollars and fifty cents, remember?"

"I just sent you 252..." Yun Ye took a deep breath, and with the attitude of asking for help, he did not argue with her. He even acted as the one who owed the money and took out his mobile phone to send her a red envelope.

"Here, I'll give it back to you."

Yunli thought it was strange and clicked it hesitantly. When she saw the two dollars and fifty cents on the screen, the corners of her lips twitched and she became angry: "You call this paying it back?"

"Well, I don't have money, so I can only pay in installments." Yun Ye said confidently, "From now on, I will pay you two dollars and fifty cents on the 1st of every month, and I will be able to pay it off sooner or later."

Yunli calculated: "You're going to pay back three hundred dollars for fifty years?"

Yunye was about to agree, but was afraid of angering her, so he reluctantly said, "Not necessarily. When my financial situation improves in the future, it's not impossible to pay it off in one lump sum."

"Okay," Yunli wanted to pack his luggage as soon as possible, "What do you want?"

Yunye began to pace back and forth again.

Yunli said impatiently: "Hurry up."

Yunye then stammered, "I want you to help me bring something to someone."

"Who? I'm going back to Nanwu tomorrow."

Yunye explained awkwardly: "My classmate's brother stayed in Nanwu to work after graduating from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, so the whole family moved there."

Yunli thought it was troublesome and refused directly: "Oh, you can send it by express."

"I glued the things together, I was afraid they would fall apart when I sent them." Yunye said in a flattering tone, even changing the address, "Sis, please."

Yun Li did not refuse and asked, "Male or female?"

“…”

Yunye replied in a low voice: "It's a girl."

Yunli looked at him suspiciously: "Are you in a premature relationship?"

Yun Ye was speechless now. After holding it in for a long time, he reluctantly said, "No, we are just very good friends. But don't tell my parents, or my dad will beat me to death."

Yunli thought for a while and still refused: "Should I meet her then? I don't want to go."

"Please, Yunli." Yunye said anxiously, "I spent several nights to make this. Her birthday is coming soon, and I promised to give her a gift."

Yun Ye's silly look reminded Yun Li of herself when she was chasing Fu Shi Ze. She nodded reluctantly: "Okay, give me the thing."

Yunye's eyebrows curved, and he asked in surprise, "Really?" Then he immediately slipped back to the room, and quickly slipped back, handed Yunli a small box that had been wrapped, and reminded him, "Face this side up, don't shake it and break it."

Yunli patted the table and said, "Put it here."

Yunye was worried: "You have to hand it over to her step by step."

“…”

Yunli rarely felt that Yunye was so slow: "Okay."

After seeing Yunye off, Yunli looked at the box curiously.

The box was tightly wrapped in pink matte paper, and it was impossible to tell what was inside. After listening to Yunye's chattering, she didn't dare to try shaking the box.

Turning around, Yunli saw four elegant words written on the back of the box:

"To Yin Yunyi"

-

The next afternoon, Yun Yongchang offered to take Yun Li to the airport. Yun Li wanted to arrive earlier, so the two of them left early.

Along the way, the father and daughter did not speak. When they were close to the airport, Yun Yongchang muttered, "Take care of yourself in Nanwu. Don't go to dangerous places."

"knew."

Yunli was in mixed emotions. After getting off the bus, she whispered "I'm leaving" and hurried into the terminal.

The airline checked in at Row F in the terminal. Yunli found a seat and sat down. There were still two hours before take-off. She waited for more than 40 minutes and saw Fu Shize coming in with a suitcase. He searched around for a while and then walked towards the first window in Row F.

Yunli jumped up and walked almost to the yellow line of the first window. After Fu Shi checked in, he turned around and saw Yunli smiling unnaturally.

Yunli gave a pre-made excuse: "My flight was cancelled, so I changed to today's flight. Can you wait for me? I'm going to check in too."

He didn't seem surprised and waited for her outside the crowd with his luggage.

"The gentleman just now, his name is Fu Shi Ze, he is my friend. Can I sit with him?" Yun Li took out his ID.

The check-in counter clerk was a little skeptical, but didn’t say much: “That gentleman was in business class, and you’re in economy class.”

“…”

The corners of Yunli's lips twitched. She remembered that the company could only reimburse economy class fares.

With blood dripping from his heart, Yun Li asked, "What about upgrading to a new cabin..."
