Everything happened too suddenly.
Suddenly, her newly hatched emotions, her indulgence in solitude, her brief courage, and what she thought was hidden, all faded into paleness in an instant.
From shame, astonishment, helplessness, embarrassment, sadness to unwillingness, Yunli realized that a person can have so many emotions in just one minute.
The gaze that usually made her heart beat faster now seemed like a deep-sea tide washing over a reef, strong and cold.
Yun Li took a step back with red eyes: "I'll think about it and decide whether to give up or not."
She pretended to be calm, but her movements were full of embarrassment.
Without him saying anything, she knew he had discovered it long ago.
He found out. He didn't want to continue. He didn't even have the slightest idea of developing it.
Just find a chance to be alone and tell her.
After putting away the camera, she saw the rolled towel. The corrugated bag was covered with water droplets, reflecting a silent mockery.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head and put the towel roll on the table, controlling the trembling of her voice: "This is for you, I'm leaving first."
At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.
Maybe she should be bolder, choose to fight instead of giving in, choose to be brave instead of being cowardly.
Forgive her. All the courage I had today was consumed the moment I admitted it.
Fu Shi remained silent the entire time. He stood there, looking down at the VR glasses in his hand, until the sound of a door slamming echoed in the secret, damp and cold night.
…
After a sleepless night, the rustling sound of the rain had no hypnotic effect. Fu Shi lifted the quilt, stood up, picked up the cup and drank a sip of water.
Ta, ta.
He lowered his head, and deep red blood dripped down his palm.
The glass he had used for more than ten years had a chip on the corner, but he didn't throw it away. For more than a year, unless he was drunk, he consciously avoided the chipped part, but just now he was distracted for some reason and forgot about it.
Since childhood, when something broke, the word "throw away" was not in Fu Shi Ze's dictionary. Instead, he would choose to repair it.
To others, it is outrageous nostalgia.
Fu Shi casually wrapped his palms with a tissue and pulled a chair to the balcony. He looked out as usual, and the horizontal and vertical structures were a common sight for him in the past year and a half.
Fu Shi took out a cigarette and lit it. An orange-red light flickered in the darkness, and the breeze was filled with gray smoke, surrounding him.
It was like locking him in a safety circle.
Fu Shi was smoking absentmindedly. When he felt the cold, he realized that the cigarette box in his hand was empty.
He tilted his head and thought about the events of the night.
He opened his phone, downloaded an E-station app, typed in "Xianyun Didajiang", and soon the two most popular updates popped up. One was a nine-square grid picture that had been on the hot list some time ago. Fu Shi swiped through the pictures one by one, and they were all Yunli peeking at him.
The fingertips lingered on the comment section.
The first one with the highest number of likes was Yunli’s reply on the same night the post was published.
Xianyun Didajiang: [Wives, please stop spreading rumors!! Don’t tarnish her innocence!!]
The second post with the most likes was also hers.
Xianyun Didajiang: [Wrong typo, it's him!!!]
Anyone who sees her will think she is a cute girl.
Another update was a robot repair video that she claimed was from the category of handicraft technology. Fu Shi opened it again and watched it carefully from beginning to end.
The girl seriously explained to the camera the process of repairing the robot, which was out of place with the little robot moving like an idiot and the screen full of "Hahahahahahahahaha".
He raised the corners of his lips, feeling a little funny and inexplicably bitter.
When the video goes back to 37 seconds, a blue and gold-stamped envelope appears in the corner of the screen.
It was Jiang Yuan who put it there.
Looking back, it should be when Yunli finished the college entrance examination. During that half month, he and Jiang Yuan could see Yunli riding a small bicycle to Western University of Science and Technology every day and parking at Nanxi Square in the school.
On two occasions, he carried a little boy.
It was not difficult to recognize Yunli. Her appearance had not changed much in the past one or two years, and she looked exactly the same as on the red runway.
She probably didn't know that on the day of the robot football match, the two of them secretly went to watch her game.
At that time, the girl was bent over in front of the small football field, concentrating on operating the handle and didn't notice that the two of them were right behind her.
When she won, Jiang Yuan attributed it to the small training football he asked her to bring.
Nanxi Square is right next to the college.
During the first half of June, perhaps out of curiosity, he and Jiang Yuan would go to take a look every day. They were also quite curious as to why this little girl, who had just finished the college entrance examination, would go to Northwest University of Science and Technology every day.
It's impossible to just find a tree to stay under at West China University of Technology.
The two even made several bets about this.
At that time, Yunli sat under an evergreen tree in front of the square, with her hair tied in a ponytail, and she would sit under the tree obediently with two books in her arms all day. They seemed to see the little girl who had been scolding the robot all day on the playground.
Until that day, Unique held a drone show at Nanxi Plaza.
He and Jiang Yuan were originally leaning on the railing of the open-air balcony on the second floor, operating a drone upstairs, but they saw Yun Li suddenly jump up, run to the Unique tent to queue up for souvenirs, and look around as if looking for someone.
When it was her turn to receive the souvenir, the students in the tent asked her to show her campus card.
She was not a student of West China University of Science and Technology, so according to the rules, she could not receive souvenirs. She might have argued for it in front of the tent, but the student distributing souvenirs did not agree. Then she turned around, took two steps, wiped her tears, and returned to the tree.
Jiang Yuan asked him: "She looks like our little fan, let's play one for her?"
He pushed Jiang Yuan: "You go."
"you go."
"you go."
"you go."
…
Later, Jiang Yuan lost the game of rock-paper-scissors, so he waved at him and put a unique souvenir in Yun Li's basket when she wasn't paying attention.
When the two of them were having dinner in the evening, they found that she had not left yet. Her slender figure was guarding the bicycle, holding the souvenir in her hand.
Jiang Yuan smiled: "She wouldn't think it's someone else's and wouldn't dare to take it."
This possibility is also quite high.
At the time, both of them thought the little girl was very well behaved, her appearance and demeanor were very childish, and she looked very uneasy holding the souvenir.
Jiang Yuan pushed him and said, "Aze, I put the souvenirs there, now it's your turn."
"Okay." He also smiled and pushed Jiang Yuan. He was about to go downstairs to talk to her, but he saw her wrapping the souvenir in a handkerchief as if it were a treasure, and then put it in the compartment of her schoolbag.
Afterwards, neither of them saw her again.
It was easy to infer that she had been waiting for Unique to show up for more than half a month, but she just didn't see the person she wanted to see.
Fu Shi naturally thought that she was going to find Jiang Yuan. After all, he was sitting in the audience seats on the playground and did not meet Yun Li.
He joked with Jiang Yuan: "I saw the team uniform on the playground and came to find you."
Jiang Yuan: "Don't give me that. You asked me to give it to you."
The two people didn't take this matter to heart.
With abdominal cramps, Fu Shizhe remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time, but he couldn't remember the exact time. He returned to his room and remembered the matcha towel roll in the refrigerator. He took it out, and the water on it was not yet dry.
You can see the care of the maker, who sealed the box with several layers of plastic wrap to prevent water from seeping in. The pleated ribbon also shows that she tied the blue bow several times.
I took a bite with a spoon.
It tastes sweet and bitter at first.
Thinking of her red eyes tonight.
Eating did not stop the abdominal cramps, so Fu Shi casually flipped over two pills and swallowed them.
He took a new pack of cigarettes from the drawer and rubbed the lighter twice, but did not light it.
He stared at the cigarette butts and wine bottles scattered all over the balcony, which was in a mess. He lowered his eyes to look at his thin wrist, and the blood stain on the palm had dried.
Forget it.
…
Inside the apartment, Yunli opened a pack of frozen dumplings and threw a few into the boiling water. Honeycomb-like white foam rolled out, and she watched in a trance for a long time.
She slowly reached for the phone beside her and opened the chat history with Fu Shizhe. The nickname was changed by her when she was emotional.
They had not spoken to each other since that night.
She wanted to ask him when he found out.
She wanted to ask him, and he asked her but then rejected her, if it was because he didn't want to have any contact with her again.
Fu Zhengchu didn't know that the two of them had already broken the paper, and he even created a small group and asked her and Fu Shizhe if they wanted to go play badminton.
She originally wanted to wait for Fu Shizhe to reply first.
But the other party seemed to have the same idea.
After an afternoon, there was no new message in the group. Yunli stared at Fu Zhengchu's two lonely messages and sighed: [I'm busy recently and don't have time to go. ]
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Fu Shi also replied: [I have a cold. I won’t go.]
When seeing this message, Yunli wanted to ask him if he really had a cold and whether he wanted her to send him some medicine.
The tip of my nose felt sore again.
He would definitely refuse. He was such a well-educated man that he would definitely want to nip her idea in the bud from the moment he found out.
She finally, trembling with fear, bravely moved forward.
She doesn't want to give up.
In no mood.
She couldn't keep loving Fu Shizhe and be friends with him for life.
Yunli opened the WeChat friend list and counted them.
This relationship is okay.
This one is also okay.
This person should also be considered a friend.
She doesn't seem to be that short of friends.
She knew that as long as Fu Shizhe appeared again, she would fall in love with him again at any time.
She couldn't imagine having a relationship with him other than that of a lover.
…
Feeling depressed, Yunli opened E Station and read the messages from fans.
Let’s talk to the fans.
Without any warning, Yunli started the live broadcast.
Perhaps because it was now close to 11 o'clock in the evening, the number of viewers increased rapidly and soon exceeded 10,000.
Yunli positioned the camera and said hello. She didn't look at the comments and just said, "Long time no see."
"Good evening everyone, let's start today by reading some fan letters."
"No, no, no Mandarin practice today."
"Let me read a few letters praising me first." Yun Li glanced at the comments, "Huh? Why are you still picking? - I don't pick and choose. At least nine out of ten letters are praising me."
"Okay, the anchor is going to flatter himself."
After reading two, Yunli felt a little embarrassed and closed the email. "I've finished reading. What do you think?"
The barrage was filled with sighs.
"Why haven't you updated in so long? -- The anchor is still in school and needs to review for the exam."
The comments were scrolling very fast, and a large part of them were asking about the photos taken secretly last time. Yunli wanted to ignore them, but they kept coming in more and more comments, some even asking why Yunli was deliberately ignoring them.
"Who is the guy in the coffee shop? I'm not familiar with him, you can ask him."
"Why are you peeking at my brother? - How can that be called peeking..." She paused, "I am - looking openly."
"Is my wife going to become someone else's wife? - Only someone else can be the anchor's wife, remember that."
"Xianyu's eyes are red today. Are you in a bad mood? -- No, I'm in a good mood."
The barrage suddenly changed direction.
[It does feel redder. ]
[Did you have a quarrel with the guy in the coffee shop? 】
“…”
"When will the younger brother and the older brother appear? - The younger brother refers to the one in the coffee shop?" Yun Li hurriedly passed it over unnaturally, "Then they probably won't appear again."
"But what about my brother..." Yunli took out his cell phone and called Yunye directly.
On the other side, Yunye, who had just returned home in the evening, saw the notification bar prompting Yunli’s live broadcast, so he opened the webpage and happened to see this scene.
“…”
Yunye's voice was heard on the other end of the phone, and he asked knowingly, "What?" His tone was clear and bright, a characteristic of a young boy.
“The people in the live studio want to hear your voice.”
“…”
The barrage was very enthusiastic, and the content suddenly became very unified, with large sections confessing to Yunye.
【I love my younger brother!!!】
[The anchor is for you, and the younger brother is for me!!!]
[Brother, please show your face, woooooooooooo! ]
Yunli was speechless for a moment: "So, do I have more fans or does my brother have more fans?"
"No wonder my account has more female followers?"
The barrage was updated again, and Yunli read it out word by word.
"Don't be so restrictive about gender."
"I'm a man, but I like younger brothers, too."
“…”
"Let him open the live broadcast room. I'm going to quit."
Immediately afterwards, Yunli turned off the camera without any reluctance.
The conversation with Yunye continued.
Seeing Yunli turned off the live broadcast, Yunye didn't close the webpage either. He left the computer aside, pushed the ground with one foot, and turned the computer chair in a circle. With one leg resting on the other, the boy leaned back on the chair, "Sister."
Yunli: “What?”
"When will you be home?"
“…”
Thinking of the option of going home, Yun Li was silent for a long time: "Thursday."
With the idea of going home, and with the exam week and the adjustment of the internship schedule for the winter semester, Yunli and Fang Yuning simply adjusted their working hours for next week and made up a week's vacation. After informing He Jiameng, he booked a flight back to Xifu on Thursday.
Having not yet recovered from this emotional trauma, Yunli is eager to return to a place where he feels safe.
Her undergraduate university was not far from home, and this was the first time she had been away from home for such a long time.
I suddenly felt homesick.
Yunli stared at the suitcase for a while and sniffed.
The next day, Yunli was woken up by Yunye's phone call. She answered the phone in a daze, and heard Yunye's noisy voice: "Sister! It will be too late if you don't get up!"
Yunli was frightened to the point of shuddering all over.
She hurriedly got up from the bed and stumbled to wash up. In five minutes, she hurriedly completed a series of processes from brushing teeth to getting dressed.
Yunli took his cell phone and charger and went out with his suitcase.
After getting out of the elevator, Yunli looked at the navy blue sky and belatedly wanted to check the time.
6:16.
very good.
Yunli stood still and dialed Yunye's number. After two beeps, Yunye picked up the phone.
"Are you sick, Yunye?"
"It's too late for you to tell me this early in the morning."
Yunye on the other end of the phone paused for a long time, and replied in a daze: "What?" Then he continued, "Sister, hurry up and pack your things."
"I'll take it—" Yunli felt like a hammer had hit cotton, and sighed, "Forget it."
"I'll deal with you when I get back."
Yunli returned to the apartment intact.
She opened the chat interface with Fu Shi Ze and stared at the word "wife" in a daze.
Yunli carefully chose his words, typing in sentences over and over again and deleting them word by word.
[I'm back in Xifu. Can I bring you some local specialties? ]
It will definitely be rejected.
[I'm back in Xifu and will be back next week.]
He probably didn't want to know.
【I won’t give up.】
Nightmare.
After thinking for a long time, Yunli realized that if he kept pestering her after being rejected, he would end up like Lin Wanyin. He closed his phone and decided to find a chance to send her some messages that she would reply to.
-
When Yun Li got off the plane, Yun Yongchang was already waiting outside the airport.
The father and daughter consciously did not mention the previous conflict. Yun Yongchang held her luggage with a stern face and said in a hard voice: "You love to look pretty but wear so little. Your knees are frozen and you will get rheumatism like your father in the future."
Normally Yun Li would always argue with him, but at this moment she missed Yun Yongchang's voice very much.
Sitting in the car at home, Yunli finally felt like he was truly home.
Yunli leaned against the window and looked at the buildings passing by.
Xifu has fewer people than Nanwu, and the atmosphere is rarely lively, but the buildings are newer and lined up one after another, and the roads are flat and wide.
The outline of the main building of Xifu University of Science and Technology gradually appeared before our eyes.
"Hey, Dad." Yun Li sat up straight, "I remember that the way home doesn't pass by Western University of Science and Technology?"
"The road was repaired during the summer vacation." Yun Yongchang drove with one hand and glanced to the right. "It was repaired last month."
"It should have been repaired long ago." Yun Yongchang said dissatisfiedly, "Every time I pass by, I have to take a big detour. Now it's fixed."
"It will be convenient for your brother to come home from college in the future."
