An upgrade costs 500 yuan, which is within Yunli's affordability.
After spending a fortune just to stay with Fu Shizhe for two more hours, Yun Li felt like his soul had been sucked out of him.
As she walked out with bleeding heart, Yunli saw Fu Shize standing among the crowd, with an eye-catching temperament, waiting for her.
Yunli realized that it was actually worth it.
After entering the waiting area, the two bought some coffee and found a seat near the boarding gate.
Fu Shi put on the hood of his windbreaker, leaned against the back of the chair, and lowered his head.
It seemed that he was sleeping, so Yunli didn't disturb him.
He started playing with his phone.
After a few minutes, Yunli turned off the screen of his mobile phone.
He placed the phone on his lap, tiptoed to adjust the angle, and peeked at Fu Shi Ze through the reflection.
The person on the screen suddenly looked over.
Yunli's breathing stagnated, he put away his phone and pretended nothing had happened.
Fu Shizhe: "If you can see it, I can see it too." His voice was a little hoarse.
Why on earth did she think Fu Shize wouldn't sabotage her?
Yunli defended himself: "I wanted to see if you were sleeping."
"No." The reply was straightforward.
Fu Shize didn't plan to continue sleeping. Yunli opened E Station and played a few videos for him. He responded halfheartedly. The two of them were close to each other. Yunli thought of the little surprise she prepared for him a few days ago. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Did you see the thing I stuffed into you?"
Seeing that Fu Shize had no expression, she had a bad feeling: "There's just a moon and I put a sticky note in it."
"What did you write?" Fu Shize lowered his eyes and drank coffee. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. Seeing Yunli hesitated to speak, he raised his eyes again and said, "Tell me."
“…”
Yunli was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet. She asked, "Did you throw away the brochure?"
Fu Shize: “Throw it away.”
"Forget it..." Yunli scrolled through his phone in frustration, his heels leaning against the ground.
After boarding the plane, Yunli sat next to Fu Shizhe as he wished.
The plane encountered continuous turbulence due to air flow. The flight attendant spoke several times on the radio, but Yunli could not hear the voice on the radio due to the air pressure in his right ear.
Yunli saw the dark gray and thick clouds outside the cabin. The lightning and thunder seemed to fall directly on the plane. She closed her eyes in shock when they flashed.
Her first reaction was that she did not buy aviation insurance for this flight.
Yunli was fidgeting, and since she couldn't hear the sound on the radio clearly, she glanced out the window and hesitantly poked Fu Shizhe's arm.
Fu Shi moved and pulled the blindfold up a little.
Yunli: "Did something happen to the plane?"
Fu Shi turned sideways and spoke a few words. Yun Li could only see his lips moving but couldn't hear clearly.
Fu Shi repeated it several times, and seeing Yun Li's confused expression, he had no choice but to whisper directly into her ear.
Yunli didn't hear the words clearly, but he felt the wetness on his ears.
I feel hot from my neck upwards.
The lights in the cabin dimmed, the seats vibrated and the roar surrounded her ears. With all her senses single, Yunli felt the warm and moist breath repeatedly hitting her right ear.
Poplar, poplar.
His heartbeat accelerated to the limit it could bear. Yun Li couldn't help but turn his face away and whispered, "I still can't hear you."
Fu Shize: “…”
She turned her back in panic, and it took her a long time to calm down before she turned around and touched her right ear. It didn't seem so hot anymore.
Sitting up straight, Yun Li turned his head and saw Fu Shi had already taken off his blindfold. He leaned against the cabin, looking out the window boredly. The sudden lightning reflected in his eyes, but he was not affected.
Yunli: "Aren't you afraid at all?"
Fu Shi shook his head.
Yunli: "I'm a little scared. Can you talk to me? If you tell me, I won't be scared anymore."
Fu Shi opened the WeChat chat interface with her, typed "You can't hear me." and handed it to her after sending it.
The phone was in airplane mode, there was no signal, and an exclamation mark appeared on the interface, indicating that the message was not sent successfully.
Yunli: "Then let's chat on the phone."
One person was talking strangely. Yunli took Fu Shize's phone and typed in [The plane is shaking so much, I feel like I'm going to fall.] on the same interface.
She looked up and saw that Fu Shi had given her the note "Yunlili".
The three words strung together look like a cute expression.
Yunli: [My name is Yunli. Have you been remembering my name wrong? ]
Fu Shi took the phone: [Yes.]
But there is no intention to modify the remarks.
Yunli: [Then let’s keep this name, it sounds pretty nice.]
Fu Shize: [Yes.]
Yunli: [Can we go back together later? I want to share a taxi. It’s a bit late and a taxi is a bit expensive. ]
After taking the phone, Fu Shi did not answer immediately.
Yunli stared at him. After a few seconds, he picked up the phone, tapped a few times, and handed it back to her.
Fu Shize: [Xu Qingsong is here to pick you up and take you back.]
The two passed the phone back and forth dozens of times. Perhaps out of boredom, Fu Shize was not tired of it either.
Yunli accidentally clicked the return button, and the second chat window on the WeChat main interface was Lin Wanyin, whom he had seen before. Just like last time, the window still displayed 99+ unread messages, and the most recent message was: [I will come to see you next month. ]
When the plane landed, Xu Qingsong was already in the parking lot. He was wearing a sky blue shirt. When he saw them, he smiled casually, still looking like a handsome young man, and slowly opened the car door for Yunli.
As soon as he got on the car, Xu Qingsong asked, "How do you feel about this trip?"
Seeing that Fu Shize didn't say anything, he raised his voice and asked, "What?"
Fu Shizhe said with a hint of sleepiness: "Not bad."
Seeing that he was very sleepy, Xu Qingsong did not ask any more questions and sent Yunli back to Qilixiangdu first.
The car door closed, and Yunli looked at the person sitting inside, who looked very thin.
The few days of close contact came to an abrupt end.
After returning to Nanwu, Yunli and Fu Shizhe had few opportunities to meet at work during their internship. The human resources department took over almost all the trivial matters of the company. Except for seeing Fu Shizhe during the daily tea break, Yunli focused most of his energy on work.
The relationship with Fu Shi Ze gradually returned to normal.
Yunli: [Would you like to have dinner together tonight? ]
Fu Shize: [No.]
Or is it——
Yunli: [I brought you a small cake. I'll give it to you now.]
Fu Shize: [No.]
Or maybe——
Yunli: [Let’s go to the cottage and buy a cup of coffee together? ]
Fu Shize: [No.]
Every time he refused, he would answer with two words: "No". Yunli even suspected that he was replying automatically.
Therefore, Yunli changed the question: [Should we have dinner separately? ]
Fu Shize: [Yes.]
"......"
Yunli didn't care about Fu Shizhe's various explicit and implicit rejections, and inviting him seemed to have become a daily habit.
After knocking on Fu Shizhe's office door so many times, Fu Shizhe found it difficult to answer the door. Finally, when Yunli went to deliver coffee, Fu Shizhe opened the door and let her in. He said for the first time, "Come in directly from now on, no need to knock."
…
On Saturday morning, Deng Chuqi sent a message: [Can I come to your house to play today? ]
Deng Chuqi: [Xia Xia has returned home.]
Yunli replied directly: [Okay, just come over here. ]
It was almost time for dinner, and Yunli calculated the time so that he could prepare two bowls of wonton noodles as soon as Deng Chuqi arrived.
"Lili is so nice, why don't you just marry me." Deng Chuqi washed her hands after entering the room, and then sat down directly at the dining table.
Yunli pretended to be indifferent: "I already have someone I love, please find someone else."
"What a cruel woman." Deng Chuqi pouted.
The two chatted for a while, all focused on Yunli's pursuit of Fu Shi Ze. Unable to hide it any longer, Yunli simply confessed the previous rejection.
As if being hanged on the gallows, Yunli described the whole process of that day.
Deng Chuqi was stunned for several seconds before she yelled "Fuck!" She was shocked: "Lili, is that equivalent to you admitting in front of him that you like him?"
Yunli nodded.
Deng Chuqi: "Did he reject you?"
Yunli nodded again.
"Damn it, he actually rejected you? He can't be a gay like Fu Zhengchu said!" Deng Chuqi was filled with righteous indignation. Seeing Yun Li's dissatisfaction, he controlled his emotions and continued, "I never thought you could be so bold."
Yunli didn't think she was bragging: "It's really bold."
Deng Chuqi ate a few mouthfuls of noodles in silence, then spoke with some embarrassment: "Lili, actually Xia Xia told me something about her uncle."
Yunli was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"It's just that...something bad happened to him in college, and he dropped out of school."
Yunli said: "He took a leave of absence, not dropped out. I know this, but I don't know the reason."
"From what Xia Xia said, Fu Shizhe's personality wasn't like this before, but he has fallen since then. His current job is still a nominal position arranged by his parents."
Yunli nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly: "This kind of job that is both leisurely and lucrative is quite enviable."
Deng Chuqi made a disdainful "tsk" sound. Seeing that Yunli was not affected, he sincerely advised: "I don't know how long he will be in this state. Lili, we should not suffer so much for our first love."
Yunli retorted: "It's not like we're not in love yet."
Knowing that Deng Chuqi was thinking about her, Yun Li explained sincerely: "It's okay. I can feel from many details that he is a very good person."
Seeing that Yun Lilei was unmoved, Deng Chuqi found it funny: "At first I advised you to take the initiative, but you ignored me. Now I advise you to give up, but you also ignore me."
Yunli complained: "This shows that you don't know how to read people's expressions."
Deng Chuqi knew Yunli was stubborn, so she didn't try to persuade her. After chatting with her for a while, she suddenly mentioned the matter of changing jobs: "I plan to quit."
Deng Chuqi was unhappy: "The company leader is a bit stupid. He has a wife and children but he still flirts with me in the office. I am disgusted. I scolded him and he made trouble at work. Xia Xia said that she would ask her leader to transfer me, but I overturned the table of that old pervert that day. Let's see. My father asked me to go back to Xifu to find a job. I am considering applying for a master's degree abroad."
Yunli didn't expect it to be such a serious matter. He squeezed her palm and said to comfort her: "Are you okay?"
Deng Chuqi shook her head and continued to complain to her about work. After sending her away, Yun Li carefully thought about what she said.
Yunli has been in EAW for a while, but Xu Qingsong's personal style is rather casual and relaxed, and the atmosphere of the entire EAW is relaxed and free, so she basically does odd jobs in the human resources department.
Yunli still doesn’t know what the real society is like.
……
Before going home, Yunli asked her roommate Tang Lin to pick up the textbooks for the winter semester. Tang Lin and Yunli rarely lived on campus, and they only communicated a few times on WeChat, mostly about paying water and electricity bills and helping with express deliveries.
After getting the textbooks for her, Tang Lin put them directly in her own laboratory and asked Yunli to get them when he had time.
Yunli didn't bring his textbooks to class for the first two weeks, and basically couldn't understand anything. On Friday, after get off work, he did his homework until 10:30. Facing a bunch of formulas that he couldn't understand at all, Yunli realized that he couldn't go on like this any longer. He informed Tang Lin that he was going to get the books and planned to go out.
Before winter, Nanwu had been raining for a week. The night air was damp and increasingly cold. Yunli carried an empty schoolbag and wore a thick woolen coat. When he went out, the cold wind blew and his cheeks felt cold, so he went upstairs to put on a cashmere scarf.
The road from Qilixiangdu to South China University of Technology is brightly lit, and the warm lights penetrate the diffuse mist, bringing a bright feeling.
It was past eleven o'clock, and there were only a handful of people passing by the laboratory building. There was no security guard even in the lobby on the first floor, and only the cold white light was left in the empty lobby.
The elevator stopped quietly on the first floor. Yunli walked in and pressed the button for the third floor.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yunli took out his cell phone and planned to take a look.
Clang——
Yunli: “…”
She had heard from other students during class that the elevator in Building E of the college would malfunction from time to time. Yunli came here seldom, so she didn't take these things to heart.
Yunli sighed as he needed to interact with people for no reason and pressed the alarm in the elevator.
She then anxiously searched on her phone for "What to do if you're trapped in an elevator". She also saw a lot of elevator accidents in the related searches.
Ten minutes later, Yunli realized that no one spoke to her after she pressed the alarm.
Yun Li lowered his head and opened the dialog box with Fu Shi Ze: [A man in City B was trapped in an elevator. While waiting for rescue, the elevator suddenly crashed to the top and he died on the spot.]
Yunli: [A resident in City C was trapped in an elevator and died after accidentally falling into the elevator shaft during the rescue. ]
After sending two messages without a beginning or an end, Fu Shi only replied with three words: [What's the matter?]
Yunli: [I am trapped in the elevator qaq. ]
Fu Shi Ze: [Ring the alarm bell]
Yunli: [I just pressed the button, but no one came.]
Fu Shizhe: [There is a sign in the elevator with an emergency contact number on it]
Yunli looked up, searched, and dialed the number.
No one answered.
Yunli dialed a few more times and got the same result.
Yunli: [No one answered.]
Fu Shize: [Where are you? ]
Yunli didn't think much about it and directly sent him the location: [The elevator on the first floor of Building E, School of Control Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology. ]
After waiting for a few minutes and not getting any reply from Fu Shizhe, she began to worry belatedly, not knowing when she would get a reply from him.
Yunli pressed the alarm again and continued to call the emergency number.
After struggling in vain for several times, I was still hesitating whether to call the police.
When I switched back to WeChat, I found a new message from Fu Shi: [I'll be there now.]
After knowing that Fu Shize would come, Yunli's anxiety was relieved a lot. She put away her phone and leaned against the corner of the elevator and waited quietly.
At this moment, it doesn't feel like being trapped in an elevator, but more like having a meal together with someone.
But she was the one who arrived early.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
The intercom in the elevator finally rang: "Is anyone there?"
Yunli quickly agreed: "Yes, I was trapped in the elevator."
"Don't be nervous and try not to move. We have sent maintenance personnel over."
Yunli: “Okay.”
When the elevator door opened again, the maintenance personnel and the guard on duty were outside. The guard on duty kept apologizing to Yunli, explaining that he had gone to the toilet and did not hear the elevator alarm, and hoped that Yunli would not report him to the leader.
Yunli had never planned this, but it took half an hour for someone to come after being trapped. This was indeed the other party's negligence. He said, "It's okay. Just don't do this next time."
Passing by the security guard, Yun Li saw Fu Shize standing behind him. He seemed to have hurried over, his hair was messy from the wind, his windbreaker was unzipped, and he was leaning against the wall behind him.
Yunli walked over feeling somewhat guilty.
She actually didn't expect Fu Shizhe to come over, and when she first realized she was trapped in the elevator, she didn't think there would be any danger. After understanding the structure and operating principles of the elevator, she felt that the probability of an accident was smaller than a car accident.
She sent a message to Fu Shizhe just to share her latest news with him.
Yunli said awkwardly: "I'm sorry... I'm bothering you to come here so late."
Fu Shi glanced at her and said, "I came here by myself."
It wasn't you who asked me to come here. I decided to come here on my own.
“……”
As if afraid that someone else would steal the credit.
Yunli: "Anyway, thank you for coming tonight." Suddenly remembering the purpose of coming here, she said, "I'm going to the third floor to get a book. Can you come with me?"
Fu Shize said nothing and went straight to the stairs. Yun Li hurried to the front to lead the way.
The lights in the stairwell and corridor were off. The elevator just stopped at the second floor. I only need to go up one more floor to reach the second floor.
Arriving at Tang Lin's laboratory, Yun Li took the door card they had hidden from the fire hydrant nearby according to what she said, swiped it, found the second cabinet on the right, and took out several new books on the top shelf. He took a photo and sent it to Tang Lin: [I took it. ]
Tang Lin replied: [OK.]
Yunli put all the books into his schoolbag.
Fu Shi was waiting at the door. When Yun Li came out of the office, he turned off the lights in the office. The whole floor fell into darkness again.
The silence was magnified in the darkness. After the sound of the electric current disappeared, only the rustling sound of the two people's footsteps could be heard.
After realizing that they were alone together, Yunli's breathing became irregular again.
It seemed like a spur of the moment action, but also like something that had been long desired.
She really wanted to get closer to this source of heat.
This desire to get close is even greater than the attachment to the quilt after waking up on a winter morning.
Yunli walked beside Fu Shize, getting closer little by little.
Little by little.
Courage keeps burning up and down.
Until it touched the corner of Fu Shi Ze's sleeve.
Feeling the person next to him stagnate, Yun Li hurriedly explained: "It's too dark here, I can't see the road clearly, and I have to go down the stairs soon."
"Um."
Fu Shi didn't say anything more, and Yun Li didn't take the initiative to move away.
The lights in the lobby on the first floor were still on. Seeing the light ahead, Yun Li, who was afraid of the light, quickly moved to the side, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Fu Shize in an attempt to hide his presence.
Yunli: "Is your car parked in front of the school?"
Fu Shize: “Yeah.”
Yunli: "Then I'll take you to the car."
When they got outside, Yun Li looked at Fu Shi Ze again and realized that he looked really cold. His windbreaker was unbuttoned, and the cool wind blew in, leaving his slender neck uncovered.
"Wait a moment." Yunli called him.
Fu Shi stopped.
Yunli took off her scarf and said, "This is for you."
Seeing that Fu Shi Ze didn't respond, she took a step closer, stood on tiptoe, reached out and wrapped the scarf around Fu Shi Ze's neck.
Fu Shi didn't move, frowned and said, "No need."
"You came out to suffer the cold because of me. I will feel guilty if you don't accept me. Besides, I am wearing much more than you." Yun Li said seriously, "If you refuse me again, I will take off my coat."
After a pause, he continued, "I'll put it on you too."
Fu Shi said nothing and casually buttoned up two buttons of his coat.
The two of them were walking on the campus road, and suddenly they felt that this scene was very strange. Yun Li cautiously asked, "Why are you here?"
Fu Shi turned his head and glanced at her: "You sent me a message for help."
Yunli realized that he was talking about the news about the elevator accident she posted. She said embarrassedly, "That was not a call for help. I was trapped and came to you for comfort. I didn't mean to ask you to come here specially. Besides, the guards came over in the end."
Fu Shize: "..."
Fu Shize: "I went to the main building to find it."
What he meant was that if he didn't come, the security guards wouldn't come either. Then she would still be locked up inside, so it was indeed Fu Shi who came to help her.
If he continued, it would sound like he was repaying a favor with a vengeance. Yun Li looked at him and said, "To show my gratitude, I'll treat you to a midnight snack."
Fu Shi glanced at her and said, "No, it's cold outside."
Yunli then asked: "Then let's go to a store with air conditioning?"
"The sun."
Yun Li was not giving up: "How about buying some and taking them home?"
Fu Shize: "It's hard to deal with."
Yunli continued to fight: "How about I clean it up for you?"
Fu Shi glanced at her and said nothing.
When they got closer to the car, Fu Shi opened the passenger door and asked her, "Are you going back to the dormitory or Qilixiangdu?"
Yunli sat in the passenger seat: "Qilixiangdu."
After Fu Shizhe got in the car, Yun Li came over, pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you going to take me home?"
Fu Shize: “…”
Fu Shize: "What?"
"Nothing." Yunli leaned back in his chair.
Yunli: “That’s great.”
……
After sending Yunli to Qilixiangdu, on the way back to Beishan Fenglin, Fu Shi's cell phone rang twice. While waiting at the traffic light, he unlocked the phone and took a look. It was a message from Yunli.
【Are you home? 】
He replied unconsciously: [Not yet]
The car was driving slowly on the road, and Fu Shi recalled the scene just now. She blushed as she tied the scarf for him, and her fingers seemed to have brushed his face.
Almost ran a red light.
Fu Shize parked the car on the side of the road nervously. The scarf hung softly around his neck. He reached out and touched it. It felt furry and he could smell a faint scent of flowers and fruits.
He opened his wallet and took out the paper moon that Yunli had given him in Xifu from the card holder.
——Seeing you is like seeing the moon.
I stroked it with my fingertips, and warmth instantly surged into my chest, but the residual heat did not last long, leaving behind an unfillable emptiness.
He opened E Station, and before he could type a word, the search bar's history record prompted Xianyun Didajiang.
Rolling down the car window, Fu Shi lit a cigarette and flipped to Yunli's earliest post, which she posted in 2012. At that time, she had just entered college. Her childish smile was tinged with a hint of nervousness. She spoke slowly and occasionally lowered her head to read her lines.
The last few leaves from the dead trees fell, and the early winter wind whistled.
The family called several times, but Fu Shi responded hastily by simply saying that he had returned to Jiangnan Garden.
Three hours passed, and when the last video was played, he pressed pause and his eyes remained on the face in the video.
Until the screen goes off.
Fu Shi put out his cigarette and laughed helplessly.
"You are crazy."
…
As the deadline for EAW's dynamic promotion was approaching, Yunli planned to stay in the apartment to edit videos for two days over the weekend. Yunye called early on Saturday morning and spoke in a low voice: "Yunli, did you send a gift?"
Yunli thought of this and stopped what he was doing: "I want to ask you something first, are you going both ways?"
"Just, just good friends." Yunye lacked confidence.
"Oh, it seems that the man has feelings for the woman but she is not." Yun Li continued, "Her name also has the word 'Yun' in it. If you marry into her family, you can add her surname before your name."
Yunye: “…”
Yunye didn't want to argue with her, so he took the initiative to show weakness and spoke in a sweet tone: "Sister, can you send it tomorrow? I'll send you her phone number and address again."
"Yeah." Yun Li understood Yun Ye's thoughts, but to avoid Yun Yongchang's rage after the truth was revealed, she still distanced herself from the matter: "Yun Ye, I don't support premature love. It affects my studies."
Yunye was dissatisfied: "I can do the same as you and pursue her until we are in college and then fall in love."
Yunli felt like he was stabbed in the heart: "Don't involve me in your own words, just don't let it affect your studies."
Yunye was quiet for a while: "Yin Yunyi's grades are very good, she should be able to get into Western University of Science and Technology."
Yun Li didn't take his words to heart and gossiped, "Photos." Knowing that Yun Ye would refuse, she threatened, "If you don't show me, I won't give you any gifts."
Yunye: "Why don't you keep your word?"
Yunli said in a nonchalant tone: "I've always been like this. Is this the first day you've known me?"
Yunye: “…”
Yunye had no choice but to send Yunli a photo. The photo was taken from the side of the corridor. The girl was tall, with a high ponytail and an oval face. She was looking back and smiling at the people behind her. Yunli didn't expect Yunye to like this type of photo. She glanced at it a few more times and said, "This angle looks like a candid shot."
Yunye: “…”
Yunli: "I didn't expect my brother is also a pervert."
Yunye said unkindly: "You make it sound like you've never taken secret photos before."
Yunli laughed and did not deny it: "So I said 'also'."
Yunli didn't want to go to a stranger's house and was not very willing to call a stranger, so he drafted a text message and sent it to Yin Yunyi, who replied immediately.
Yin Yunyi told Yunli that she would attend a cram school near Tianqi Square tomorrow. She sent several text messages, insisting that her brother drive Yunli to the vicinity to avoid Yunli having to make a special trip there.
Tianqi Square is one of the largest commercial centers in Nanwu, a half-hour drive from Haitian Commercial City.
The two agreed to meet at the coffee shop on the first floor of Haitian Commercial City at 6 pm on Saturday. Yunli put on some light makeup and went out with Yunye's gift.
