Accustomed to attending early classes, Yunye got up at seven o'clock as usual. When he passed by the kitchen, he saw a figure walking back and forth inside.
Yunye: "Why did you get up so early?"
Yunli: "Prepare lunch."
The kitchen window faces the sun, and the light and shadow blur Yunli's figure. Yunye yawned and scratched his hair: "Isn't it morning?"
"It would take hours to cook porridge even if you cook it quickly."
"Oh, by the way." Yunye walked to the kitchen while brushing his teeth, "I'm going to see my brother-in-law today."
Yunli: “?”
Yunli: "You change your tune pretty quickly."
"..." Yunye was too embarrassed to tell Fu Shizhe about giving him a drone.
Yunye: "I asked my brother-in-law myself yesterday, and I will go to him to get the drone today."
Yunli frowned: "Wasn't it quite late when you left my room?"
Yunye glanced at his phone: "It was about two o'clock, and my brother-in-law wasn't asleep yet."
"Go brush your teeth." Yun Li drove him out of the kitchen and stirred the rice porridge in the casserole with a spoon. The circle disappeared in just one second. She stared at it in a daze for a while.
The two have been together ever since, and Fu Shize has always been in good condition in front of her.
He was calm and composed when interacting with classmates and friends, and Yunli didn't want to ask about his past.
She had asked him several times during her previous relationship, but Fu Shi seemed reluctant to talk, just like she didn't want anyone to mention her breakup.
She felt that when the time was right, Fu Shizhe would tell her everything.
He didn't say it on his own initiative, maybe he hasn't digested it yet.
Yun Yongchang and Yang Fang also got up. They seemed to be used to Yun Li getting up early in the morning and did not ask any questions.
Yunye accompanied his parents to have breakfast quietly. The two elders kept glancing at Yunli.
After a long while, Yang Fang asked softly, "Lili, your father said you have a boyfriend, why don't you invite him to your house for dinner..."
"Let me ask him." Yunli responded absentmindedly.
Yunye changed his clothes and was about to go out when he saw Yunli carrying two thermal bags: "Are you going to have a picnic later?"
"Yeah, lunch." Yunli replied casually.
Yunye said proudly: "Oh, I don't want to eat."
"Who said I gave it to you?" Yun Li stuffed the cooler bag into Yun Ye's hand, "I'll take you there. After you get the drone, go home by yourself."
“…”
The car stopped at the Control Academy. Yun Ye followed Yun Li upstairs, and Fu Shi opened the door. The curtains in the office were wide open. His figure was bathed in sunlight, and his expression was calm and gentle.
"Brother-in-law." Yunye shouted.
Fu Shi opened the long cabinet next to his seat, which contained a number of drones: "Pick one."
Yunye's eyes lit up and he came closer. He was not a cheapskate person: "I'll borrow it and return it after a while."
"It's okay." Fu Shi leaned aside, "It's a waste to leave it here."
Hearing him say this, Yunye did not feel shy.
Too embarrassed to take the new one, he just took the oldest one, which looked quite old and had a letter U with some paint peeling off on it.
Yunye: "Can I take this?"
Fu Shize paused, and Yun Li could see his expression change slightly in an instant, but then he nodded calmly.
"Let's go." Fu Shi picked up the baseball cap from the table and put it directly on Yunli's head. The baseball cap was too big and blocked Yunli's sight.
He stood behind her, his fingers occasionally touching her occipital bone, silently adjusting the tightness for her.
It was sunny and windy outside, and students occasionally had picnics on the large lawn of West China University of Technology. They found a shaded area, and Fu Shi turned his head to tell Yun Ye how to operate the drone.
The two tall figures stood together. Fu Shi was wearing a loose white shirt and looked about as youthful as Yun Ye.
Yunye's idea was simple: he used a drone to carry a postcard to Yin Yunyi in the teaching building. The postcard had important meaning to them, and they understood each other's feelings when they sent the postcard.
The confession process was not earth-shattering.
However, Yunye thought about it and felt that Yin Yunyi would like it.
After Fu Shi taught Yunye the basic operations, he and Yunli went to enjoy the cool under a tree.
After finding a chance to be alone, Yun Li asked, "Yun Ye told me today that you were still awake at around 2 o'clock yesterday..."
During the day he seemed to be in good spirits.
So normal that no one would suspect that there was anything wrong with him.
However, Yunli has also heard from others that the year after graduating with a doctorate will be extremely stressful and insomnia is common.
Fu Shize: "I can't sleep."
Yun Li did not ask, waiting for his next sentence. Fu Shi played with the controller and said casually, "Maybe writing a doctoral thesis is too stressful."
"Oh...how about I help you revise your doctoral thesis?" Yun Li felt that there was nothing else he could do.
But on second thought, she was just a master's student from an ordinary key university, and it seemed a bit beyond her ability to try to help a doctoral student from a top university revise his thesis.
After holding it in for a long time, Yunli said, "I can help you draw a picture."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Yunli continued, "Or help you check the data?"
"Help you with the layout?"
"At least I can help you check for typos."
Yunli also added a condition: "As long as your paper is not in English."
Fu Shi listened to her for a long time, then turned his head and asked her, "Have you finished writing your own work?"
“…”
Yunli was very honest: "Although every time I open my graduation thesis, I can't write a few words in half a day, and I can be in a daze in front of the computer for a whole day."
“But I don’t lose any sleep over it.” She pointed out her strengths.
Yunli didn't feel like she was bragging, as she submitted her master's thesis several months later. She now eats well and sleeps well, and is in much better shape than Fu Shi.
Fu Shi knew her current situation and asked, "Don't you need my help?"
Yunli said seriously, "Finish yours first."
She added calmly, "You can help me with all your strength."
Fu Shi leaned against the tree trunk, raised his head, and looked in her direction: "Why do I feel like I need to write two articles?"
"No." Yunli leaned on his shoulder, "We wrote it together."
Yunye didn't want to be a big light bulb for a while, so he packed up and went home. Yunli gave him the car keys and put a training car logo on the car despite his strong objection.
…
Although Yun Li had been to the School of Control many times, this was the first time he dealt with people from Fu Shizhe's laboratory.
Several boys were a little shy when they saw her. She sat next to Fu Shizhe awkwardly. The workstation was not small, and pulling out a chair was enough to accommodate two people.
Fu Shi poured a glass of water, tested the temperature and placed it in front of Yun Li. He then opened a document and began to write with full concentration.
Fu Shi gave her a notebook and asked her to use it for her work. She downloaded a few master's theses and took a look at them. However, she had just focused for a while when her attention was distracted by the people coming and going around her.
He unconsciously looked at Fu Shi Ze beside him.
For the first time, Yunli felt that she really had a boyfriend who was a top student.
Several times during the process, other people got up to get water, and people from other laboratories came over to discuss issues. Yun Li met their eyes, smiled, and then lowered his head unnaturally.
Fu Shize pretended not to hear anything, with the words on the screen reflected in his eyes.
Influenced by him, Yunli studied for an hour. Then he couldn't help but look at the WeChat message that had been flashing for a long time.
It’s Fu Shizhe’s account.
She clicked on it and found a small laboratory group with new messages popping up from time to time.
[Fuck! Senior brother brought his girlfriend here. ]
[Senior brother has a girlfriend, we finally have a way out! ]
[Damn, take a picture. No picture, no evidence.]
[No, it's too obvious. His girlfriend is sitting next to him.]
[My sister-in-law is so pretty, she looks like a female star sitting there.]
Seeing this, Yunli's face turned slightly red.
[Don't keep talking, take a picture! ]
【Come and see for yourself, just pretend to come to get something or discuss a problem.】
“…”
She realized that those people just now were all here to see her.
After learning this, Yunli felt very uncomfortable, and she would tense up every time someone new came in. Fu Shi suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked her, "What's wrong?"
“…”
Yunli's mouth seemed to be sewn shut. She waved her phone towards Fu Shi and sent a message: [It feels a bit inconvenient here...]
Fu Shize: [Not very convenient]
Before Yunli finished typing her reply, he sent another message: [What to do?]
After reading the two messages together, Yun Li leaned back and looked at Fu Shi Ze dimly.
[Then shall we go to the empty room next door? ]
Combined with the previous background, the whole story had an ambiguous meaning, and Yunli felt conflicted for a while.
If you agree, it’s like you’re proactively saying: I’m not here to study with you today.
It seems like there is another intention.
Fu Shi stood up and took a notebook from the laboratory from the cabinet behind him. He stood beside his workstation with a teasing look in his eyes.
Yunli stood up slowly and followed him with his notebook in his arms.
Not wanting to attract attention, she deliberately kept a distance of one meter between the two of them.
Fu Shi stopped and seemed to remember something. He turned sideways and took her hand. Yun Li tried to break free, but he held her tightly.
He led her out.
Yunli knew that the door here was not soundproof, so she didn't say anything along the way. Fu Shi took her to a small laboratory with an operating table at the entrance, an office desk and a single sofa.
There were no windows in the room and it felt a bit damp, so Fu Shi turned on the ventilation fan. The machine was old and the blades made a clanging sound.
Yunli had just put the notebook on the operating table when he suddenly pushed it against the door.
Her neck was pressed against the cold door, and in front of her was his warm body. He leaned close to her right ear and asked, "Is it convenient now?"
The voice was drowned out by the noise of the ventilator, but it rang like a thunderstorm in her ears.
Yun Li originally felt that the room was stuffy, and now he felt the heat seeping directly to his head.
She licked her lower lip and stared into his dark eyes. His lips were less than half a centimeter away from hers. Yunli finally turned her head away and covered her lips with the back of her hand.
She blushed and said, "Go write your paper."
Fu Shi obediently let go of her, opened his notebook and sat down. He glanced at Yun Li and urged her to sit in front of him in a nasal voice.
Yun Li was very nervous all the way. She pulled a chair and sat next to him. She leaned on the chair, moved her lips, and asked in a low voice: "We are walking out so openly. Will your junior brother say that you are not doing your job properly? Will he say that you are obsessed with lust?"
Fu Shi tilted his head: "Maybe."
"What should we do then?" Yun Li let out a long sigh, his eyes drooping.
"It doesn't matter." Fu Shi said indifferently: "They are telling the truth."
“…”
At this time, Yunli felt that Fu Shizhe's words were shocking, but the key point was that he did not blush or feel nervous.
She was more serious than him and had more concerns: "Then I'd better not come here in the future. I don't want others to say bad things about you."
Yunli felt that this kind of thing would easily spread from one person to ten people and from ten to a hundred people, and would easily cause others to criticize Fu Shizhe.
She knew that Fu Shize didn't care about other people's opinions, but she cared about his reputation.
Seeing her cautious and serious look, Fu Shi asked, "You're not sending me porridge either?"
"Yes, so I can see you in the morning." Yun Li thought about work. "I plan to go to a subsidiary of Yousheng. They may let me join the company early, which means our chances of meeting will be even more limited."
Yunli planned: "Before that, I will come to see you often."
"Before that, don't care about what others think." Fu Shizhe put his upper arm on the armrest of the sofa, played with her hair, and said casually: "After that, you don't have to."
Yunli hesitated for a moment: "Will it affect your work if I am by your side?"
"Not just now." Fu Shi turned around and said to her, "When you were not around, I wanted to see if you sent me any messages. It would easily interrupt my work."
If she were around, Fu Shi would be less distracted.
There were only a few months left before he had to submit the full manuscript of his doctoral thesis, and he had never thought of this before.
But thinking that people around him would like it more, he still wanted to get the National Outstanding Graduation Thesis Award.
"But." Fu Shi put the notebook aside and pulled her to the other corner of the sofa, "Now there is a little bit."
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Fu Shi bit her lips twice and said, "It's just the two of us. We can't study."
…
After sharing the porridge she brought at noon, Fu Shi felt a little sleepy. Yun Li usually got up late and didn't have the habit of taking a nap.
Maybe because he went to bed late last night, Fu Shi fell asleep on the sofa in just a few seconds.
When Yunli took his eyes off the phone, he had already fallen asleep.
She stood up and closed the curtains without making any noise.
The curtains don't block out a lot of light, so his facial features can still be seen clearly with the light that passes through.
Yunli sat on the small chair in front of him, observing his expression.
Fu Shi had his eyes tightly closed, his brows furrowed, and his slightly pursed lips seemed to indicate that he was having a bad dream.
She reached out and stroked his brow, and his pale face finally relaxed a little.
Yunli looked at his sleeping face quietly. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, leaning against the cushion in a relaxed manner.
The phone on the desk lit up with a dynamic notification, and the lock screen was still their photo.
Yunli unlocked his phone and slid to the WeChat interface. He pinned her window to the top, and the note was still the three words "Yunlili".
Yunli opened the window, slid upwards, and was stunned for a moment.
On the day they met again, Fu Shi sent her a WeChat message: [Lili]
Going back further, every day, Fu Shi would send her a message with only the two words "lili".
The responses are a red circle before the message and the system prompts that the person is not the other party’s friend.
Almost unbelievably, Yunli continued to flip upwards. His fingers slid many times, but he never reached the end.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing could be heard. Yunli scrolled upwards tirelessly until the chat history returned to the time when they broke up.
She lowered her head and looked at the person sleeping next to her, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Until the alarm clock he set rang, Yunli turned it off.
Fu Shi stretched his body a little and naturally pulled Yun Li to himself.
Yunli said in a hoarse voice: "You used to send me a message every day?"
Fu Shi hummed lazily.
Yunli's hands grasped the hem of her clothes tightly: "But didn't I delete you..."
Fu Shi propped up his hair and made a reasonable guess: "You might add me back secretly."
His tone was relaxed: "Just like last time."
During those one and a half years, he held on to hope every day.
Maybe next time, the interface’s response to him won’t be that cold prompt, or that glaring red.
