"Do you want to meet my parents first?" Yunli repeated hesitantly.
Thinking of Yun Yongchang's character, Yun Li always felt that he would find fault with Fu Shizhe in every way.
Whether he was doing this for her own good or for some other motive, this made Yunli extremely uncomfortable.
In her eyes, Fu Shi would not tolerate anyone criticizing him.
Yunli hesitated and said, "You can meet them later. My parents are more conservative and may urge you to get married from the beginning." She pursed her lips and said, "Besides, they think that girls will suffer if they date for too long."
Fu Shi didn't comment, but just nodded obediently.
It was as if the progress of their relationship came to an abrupt halt due to their parents' problems, and Yunli suddenly felt lost.
Glancing at her expression, Fu Shi said nonchalantly, "My thoughts are also quite conservative."
“…”
"Maybe he wanted to urge me to get married right from the start." He was still writing documents, his eyes didn't even move over, and his tone was slightly joking: "I hope you don't mind."
Hearing this, Yunli also laughed: "Then you try to hurry it up."
Fu Shi curled his lips and asked her, "Will you agree?"
Seeing that his attention had not yet shifted from the paper, Yun Li stared at him for a few seconds and deliberately put on a reserved look: "I disagree."
It was an expected answer, but Fu Shi still stopped what he was doing, and locked eyes with her for two seconds, then said thoughtfully, "Your thinking should also be relatively conservative?"
Yunli: “Yeah.”
"Then you come and urge us to get married." Fu Shi leaned back slightly on the ergonomic chair, his eyes fixed on her face. He smiled and said, "I will agree."
In the evening, after Fu Shi sent Yunli downstairs, she lingered for a while and refused to go upstairs. Fu Shi followed her wishes and took her for a stroll in the community.
On Chen Jinping's birthday, he remembered something. He lowered his eyes and said to Yunli, "I'll celebrate two birthdays for you."
He missed Yunli's birthday in the past two years.
Fu Shi said, "Make two wishes."
Yun Li was stunned for a moment, then he obediently closed his eyes, crossed his hands and placed them under his chin, and said seriously: "Then I hope A Ze can continue to celebrate my birthday next year."
"..." Fu Shi smiled, "What a waste of a wish. I would have been here anyway."
"Then I want to change my wish. I hope that Aze can celebrate my birthday every year." She looked at him expectantly. Fu Shi looked back and said softly, "I will always be here."
"And the second one?"
Yunli continued what he had just done and said honestly, "I hope Aze can celebrate my birthday every year."
"..." Fu Shi laughed softly: "These two wishes even have the same characters."
Yunli opened her eyes and put her arms around his waist: "Because I really want it to come true."
So it doesn’t matter even if all the wishes are the same.
As long as it comes true, no other wishes matter.
Before Fu Shizhe could say anything, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out.
"Yunli."
Yunli froze in place, not knowing how to react.
Normally, Yun Yongchang would not go out at this time, so she had the courage to take Fu Shi Ze to stroll around the community.
Yun Yongchang walked out of the darkness. After seeing Fu Shize's face clearly, his face turned cold. He didn't look at Fu Shize anymore and turned to Yun Li directly: "You lied to me when you said you broke up, right? And you teamed up with Yun Ye to lie to me that I was his teaching assistant?"
When they met for the second time, Yun Yongchang's attitude towards Fu Shizhe was still so bad. Yun Li looked up suddenly, and wanted to fight back in anger.
But Fu Shizhe gently pressed his shoulder, and he said naturally: "Hello uncle, I have been an assistant teacher for several courses since I returned to school."
After hearing his answer, Yun Yongchang understood the meaning of his words and softened his attitude. He did not forget that he had dropped out of school and asked, "Are you back to school?"
Fu Shi nodded.
"When will you graduate?"
"Next year, I'll be with Lili."
"Have you found a job?"
“It has not been decided yet, but I will probably choose to stay at Western University of Science and Technology as a teacher.”
"Oh, why did you suddenly return to school?" Yun Yongchang did not relax even though the other party had achieved academic success. He still wanted to find out more about Fu Shizhe's situation.
Fu Shi glanced at Yunli and said, "I want to be responsible for Lili and give her a better life."
He confessed, "I left a bad impression on you last time. My original plan was to invite you to the graduation ceremony when I get my doctorate."
The man in front of him responded to his words with sincerity and calmness. Yun Yongchang no longer had much temper, but he still acted like an elder and said, "My daughter is very good. You should do all these things. As a man, you should be responsible for your family." He paused and said, "But there is no need to wait until the graduation ceremony."
Yunli: “…”
Fu Shizhe: "If you don't mind, I would like to visit you in a couple of days."
Yun Yongchang: "Oh, you still live in the school, right? Come on Friday, and I'll ask Lili to pick you up, and take Yunye home, so we can have dinner together."
Yunli: “…”
Without saying much to Fu Shizhe, Yun Yongchang took Yun Li home. After entering the house, Yun Li held back and said, "Dad, can't you be nicer to others?"
Seeing that she was in a quarrelsome posture, Yun Yongchang raised his voice slightly: "What's wrong with my attitude?"
Completely intimidated by him, Yun Li retorted: "Last time you were very nice to Yin Yucheng. Do you really want me to spend my whole life with someone I don't like?"
Yun Yongchang said nothing.
Yunli kicked off his shoes, went straight to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it, trying to calm himself down.
Yang Fang heard the father and daughter quarreling again and hurried to the kitchen door. Yun Yongchang had no intention of quarreling with Yun Li this time. He walked to the kitchen with a stern face and said, "Pour me a glass of water."
Yunli said stubbornly: "I won't fall."
Seeing that she was as stubborn as a bull, Yun Yongchang just felt that he was getting old. He silently went to pour a glass of water and asked Yun Li: "Why did he drop out of school?"
Yun Li didn't want to talk about this matter, so he didn't answer. Yun Yongchang glared at him and said, "Do you want me to ask him in person when he comes?"
“…”
Yunli spoke quickly, "He had a good friend who grew up with him and he got sick. He had been watching that friend take medicine every day, but that friend secretly vomited it out. Later, the friend jumped off the building when he got sick. He felt that he didn't check carefully whether the friend had swallowed the medicine, so he blamed himself for a long time. That friend jumped off the building at Xi'an University of Science and Technology, so he was traumatized when he returned to school."
After she finished speaking, Yun Yongchang and Yang Fang were silent for a moment. Yang Fang sighed softly, "Poor two children."
It seems that his parents can understand Fu Shizhe.
Yun Li's mood instantly improved. She stared at Yun Yongchang, her icy face softening a little, and asked, "Why did you go back? Was what he said tonight true?"
"Yes, he thinks you are against us being together, and he also wants to give your daughter a better life." Yunli has learned some speaking skills in the past two years, and she said with a bit of guidance: "Dad, you are a reasonable person, you should be able to see that this matter is none of his business, right?"
"Think about it, if Yun Ye was hurt because of me..." Seeing Yun Yongchang glaring at her, Yun Li closed her mouth again, "Then I will only have this brother in my life, and I might be decadent for ten or eight years."
"He's a loyal and righteous child." Yun Yongchang walked out of the kitchen without further comment.
In the next two days, Yun Yongchang didn't ask her about Fu Shizhe. Instead, Yang Fang asked her several times about what Fu Shizhe liked to eat. She went to the market early on Friday morning and bought a lot of fresh ingredients.
Both of them went home at noon that day and cleaned the house carefully and spotlessly.
When Yun Li met Fu Shi Ze at West University of Science and Technology, he was stunned for a moment. He was very formal, wearing a well-fitting white shirt, trousers and leather shoes, and carrying pairs of cigarettes, alcohol and tea.
Yunli originally thought that it was just a meal.
She said dryly: "Why did you prepare so many things today?"
"I gave the gift to my mother. She asked me to convey her gratitude." Fu Shi said. He habitually leaned close to Yun Li and kissed her. "You are so thoughtful. I can't be left behind."
Yunye only felt that he had suffered another 10,000 points of critical hits.
Yunli also reminded him: "Don't kiss, Yunye is behind."
Yunye: “…”
Fu Shizhe just noticed Yunye's presence. He looked calm and handed the gift to him: "Brother, put it down for a while."
Yun Ye took it and put it on the back seat. Fu Shi glanced at it and said, "The blue bag is for you."
Yunye, who was originally withering, immediately became interested, his eyes shining: "Can I take it apart now?"
Yunli: "Yunye, can you be more reserved?"
Yunye: "I am a grown man, why should I be reserved?"
After he finished speaking, he swiftly opened the gift box and cheered when he saw what was inside.
The traffic light was red, and Yun Li's eyes met Fu Shi Ze's. She asked with a smile, "Do I have a gift?"
Fu Shi hummed and pushed away Yun Li's outstretched hand: "But I won't give it to you now."
“…”
Yunli didn't know what gift he had prepared to make it so mysterious, so she asked with a smile, "When will you give it to me?"
Fu Shi did not answer directly.
"When the time comes."
Some of the gifts Fu Shi brought were gifts from his parents to Yun Yongchang and Yang Fang.
There was also a letter inside stating that they were on a business trip, so they could not visit this time, and hoped that Yun Yongchang and Yang Fang would forgive them.
The other party was very polite and Yun Yongchang did not say a harsh word throughout the whole process.
But just as Yun Li thought, Yun Yongchang pulled Fu Shize to drink one cup after another.
She wanted to stop him, but Yun Yongchang was too angry and ignored her completely. Yun Ye, who was standing next to her, also pulled her clothes and asked her to sit down and eat obediently.
Yunye secretly sent her a message: [You have to let our dad and brother-in-law drink like this once, this is dad’s personality. ]
Yunli: [Your brother-in-law has a bad stomach.]
Yunye: [Okay then... I'll help my brother-in-law drink two cups.]
The whole process went more smoothly than Yunli had imagined. Yun Yongchang patted Fu Shizhe on the shoulder and repeatedly told him how excellent Yunli was, asking him to treat Yunli well.
Yunli sat opposite him in agony the whole time. Yunye couldn't drink much, so he helped Fu Shi block a few glasses and then went straight to bed.
When the dinner was over, Yun Yongchang sat in front of the coffee table and said earnestly, "We are not young anymore, Lili. You are about to graduate. What are your plans for the future?"
In Yunli's opinion, the only thing left was to say the six words "It's time for you to get married".
She looked at Fu Shi Ze, who was already a little unsteady beside her. He was still trying hard to sit up straight, with a red neck.
Yun Yongchang said word by word: "Our generation thinks differently from you. Love is not a joke. As parents, we may take our children's marriage much more seriously than you do."
"Dad." Yunli called out, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
Yun Yongchang ignored her words and only said to Fu Shi Ze: "Shi Ze, my daughter is very stubborn and I can't convince her, but as a man, you need to think carefully about your future."
Yun Li dislikes Yun Yongchang the most, as he always makes decisions for her.
She also doesn't like Yun Yongchang's attitude that he thinks she has to rely on others for everything and that everything should be borne by men.
She was about to complain when Fu Shi suddenly pulled her hand over, as if he understood her thoughts, and pinched the back of her hand soothingly.
Having drunk too much, he spoke slower than usual, but every word was clear.
"Lili and I will consider and be responsible for our future together."
The love between two people should not be decided by a third party, nor should it be decided by any one of them alone.
This is a love between two people.
After going downstairs, Yun Li was still thinking about what Fu Shi Ze had just said. In this family, she deeply rejected her father's underestimation of her abilities and his desire to control her in all aspects.
Before coming, she was actually worried that Fu Shi Ze would do everything according to Yun Yongchang's wishes in order to please Yun Yongchang - as Yun Yongchang said, as a man, he should consider their future and make the decision.
She hated the idea.
She has always been very independent. No matter how Yun Yongchang criticized her for being introverted and not good at socializing, Yun Li still did many things on her own. From not asking for living expenses and tuition fees during the summer vacation of her freshman year, to studying in Nanwu and the UK alone, to finally finding a decent job and a boyfriend she deeply loves.
She doesn't want anyone else to make decisions about her affairs.
What Fu Shizhe said just now did not show that he regarded her as a vassal, but as the irreplaceable other half of their relationship.
Yunli hugged his arms. His steps were more unsteady than usual. She stood on tiptoe and kissed the side of his cheek.
Fu Shi curved his lips and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just a kiss." Yun Li quickly stood in front of him and looked up at him, and a crescent moon just appeared behind him.
"What do you think?" Fu Shizhe's hot breath touched her neck. "When will we decide on our future?"
"You speak first and I'll consider your opinion." Yun Li was tickled by his breath and pushed his chin away with a smile.
She used a lot of force, and Fu Shi touched the part she pushed away. He laughed softly, "Graduation?"
It’s not long until graduation.
Fu Shi Ze's words at this time would inevitably make Yun Li feel that it was the pressure from Yun Yongchang tonight.
She frowned and said, "Don't worry about what my dad said today. My parents said that a relationship should last for two to three years. I think this time is more suitable."
Fu Shize was not shaken and repeated his previous thought: "We can settle down after graduation."
The corners of his eyes were hazy with alcohol, but his black pupils were sober and serious.
Yunli looked at his face and suddenly felt a little nervous. After thinking carefully, there was less than half a year left before graduation.
She asked tentatively, "What do you mean by settled?"
Fu Shize: "If you think it's too fast, you can get engaged first."
Yun Li remained calm and asked, "How long is the interval between engagement and marriage?"
The person next to her tilted her head and thought for a while. In Yunli's opinion, she had just made up an answer in front of her: "I don't know, maybe one or two months?"
“…”
He even shamelessly continued, "If you think it will take a long time, it can take one or two days."
What's the difference between this and getting married directly?
"I'm also afraid that if we talk for too long, you'll worry that I'm irresponsible." Fu Shi remembered what she said to evade him last time, and put his hand around her neck and pulled her back into his arms.
Yunli felt like she couldn't breathe. She could hear his heart beating rapidly, almost the same as hers.
The time they had actually spent together was too short, so she still said stubbornly, "No, I have to think about it."
Fu Shi smiled: "Then think about it."
After saying that, he rubbed her left ear with his chin.
Yunli could clearly hear his low voice spreading around him, hidden in the air.
But the voice was faint, and it was spoken right into her deaf left ear.
She didn't hear a word.
He was still talking, as if trying to convince her.
Yunli thought he was extremely drunk and said patiently, "I can't hear you."
Fu Shize was already getting drunk. After a few seconds, he lowered his eyes and stared at the left ear he had been rubbing just now, and suddenly said, "You said the wrong ear."
