The bar counter was equipped with a high stool, and Yunli had to put some effort into sitting on it. Looking down, she realized that she had to stand on the footrest, while Fu Shi could easily put his shoes on the floor.
Yunli couldn't hide his thoughts: "Why do you let me sit here?"
Fu Shi didn't even look up: "You are the first one."
Yunli tried hard to recall the conversation just now, and thought of a terrible possibility: "Are you saying that I was the first person to approach you?"
Fu Shize's tone was as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he asked back: "Isn't it?"
“…”
These words were neither affirmative nor negative. Yun Li had just put himself in the role of a 'pursuer' and felt that there was ulterior motive in every word Fu Shi Ze said.
Deng Chuqi and I met too many people, but because we did not hide our love and tried our best to express our feelings, we were rejected outright.
Yunli was afraid that she would be one of them.
She took out her phone and pretended to play: "I'm not."
While browsing E Station, he stated his motives: "I just came here to order a new drink, and I'll go back after I get the drink."
"Besides," Yun Li struggled further, "If you don't let me sit here, I won't sit here. You want me to sit here."
The wine just came, and Fu Shi drank it in one gulp, saying casually, "Then help me block it."
Yunli: "Will there be a lot of people trying to chat with you later?"
Fu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Not a few."
Hearing this, Yun Li looked at the empty seat on his right and said, "You can ask Fu Zhengchu to come over and sit on your right. After all, not all people who come to chat with you are women."
“…”
Yunli had heard before that some people go to bars just to seek excitement. Yunli looked carefully and saw that Fu Shize's face and neck had very thin skin. In the purple-pink tones of the bar, his skin looked pale and almost abstinent, and his thin lips looked bright.
It is estimated that she is the target of hookup for many people.
And judging from his condition, it seems that he goes to the bar often.
"I heard from Qiqi before that some people come to the bar to look for partners." Yunli used obscure words, but based on her hesitant tone, Fu Shi could probably guess what she meant and waited for her to finish.
Yunli asked: "You too?"
She probably wasn't being very direct, Yun Li carefully observed Fu Shi Ze's expression. He lowered his eyes, played with the dice, and asked her, "Did you come here because of what Deng Chuqi said?"
Yunli was speechless and didn't react.
Fu Shi continued to ask her: "Do you want to find a partner?"
“…”
"I didn't." Yun Li was led by Fu Shizhe again, and he said angrily, "You can't answer a question with a question."
Fu Shi asked calmly, "Why?"
Yunli explained seriously: "Because once you ask me a question, I have to concentrate on how to answer your question, and the conversation can't continue."
Fu Shize hummed, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.
"Then you haven't answered my question yet." Yun Li looked blaming.
Fu Shize: "..."
"I am not."
Hearing this answer, Yunli felt much better.
When the two of them got closer, Yunli could smell the strong smell of alcohol on him. Since entering the house, Fu Shize had only drunk a small glass of whiskey, so he probably drank a lot before coming here.
Seeing that he was still shaking the dice, Yunli asked him, "What are you playing?"
Fu Shizhe: "Start with two, shake them and multiply them."
“…”
Yunli didn’t quite understand the top student’s entertainment, so he just sat aside and watched him play.
After a while, the bartender handed the drink list to Yunli. Not wanting to choke again, she looked back and forth at these unfamiliar names.
When he still had no idea, Fu Shi took the wine list and handed it back to the bartender: "Make her a soft drink."
Yun Li probably didn't expect that Fu Shizhe could see that she didn't want to drink. She thought for a long time before saying thank you.
The soft drink was quickly prepared. It was a cup of mixed juice. According to what Yunli said at the beginning, she should go back at this time.
Yunli picked up the wine glass and looked back. He saw that two strangers had sat down at the booth. They had ordered a bucket of beer on the table and were having a great time playing dice. The loser had to drink half a glass of beer.
“…”
She sat back down.
The wine kept coming up like a bottomless pit. Fu Shi would drink a glass every time he rolled the dice a few times, and didn't pay any attention to her beside him.
Yunli felt that this was not a good sign, and she also noticed that at the beginning, Fu Shizhe could only shake a dozen dice at most, but now he could only shake six or seven.
"Would you like to drink less?"
"It's okay." Maybe because he drank, Fu Shi talked more than usual. He said frankly, "I'm not in a good mood."
Yunli swallowed and clinked his cup against his.
"I'll drink with you."
Fu Shi glanced at her, then picked up his cup and clinked it with hers.
"If you're in a bad mood, why don't you find something to play with for a while?" Afraid of exposing his thoughts, Yun Li said, "I'll call the others, you wait a moment."
Unexpectedly, Fu Shi hummed.
The other few people quickly went downstairs and picked three mobile phones with the largest screens to download the two-player game. Deng Chuqi consciously said that he wanted to be in a group with Xia Congsheng, but the grouping of the other four people became a problem.
Yunli thought carefully and realized that she was not familiar with Xu Qingsong and there was a high probability that she would be assigned to the same group with Fu Zhengchu.
While others were downloading games, she sat next to Fu Shi Ze and lowered her voice: "Qi Qi said she wanted to be in a group with Xia Xia, can I not be in a group with Fu Zhengchu later?"
I can't let him see that I want to be in the same group with him.
Yun Li could only apologize to Fu Zhengchu in his heart and forced himself to lie: "Fu Zhengchu seems to like me..."
Fu Shize: "..."
Yunli had carefully considered this reason. As long as she gave this reason, she could explain why she didn't drink the drink given by Fu Zhengchu, why she was unwilling to stay in the booth with Fu Zhengchu but sat with Fu Shizhe, and why she didn't want to be in the same group with Fu Zhengchu at this moment.
But to Fu Shi, these words sounded a bit weird and a bit outrageous.
He knew Fu Zhengchu very well and had never thought about it in this way. Moreover, Fu Zhengchu had liked a girl named Sang Chi since he was a child, and he had been in several relationships but still couldn't get over it.
Recalling the several times when Fu Zhengchu praised Yunli for her beauty, and the last time when he pounced on Yunli before leaving after getting drunk, these actions were indeed easy to be misunderstood.
Fu Shize was not interested in chatting with Yunli about the gossip about Fu Zhengchu. He just wanted to turn around and remind Fu Zhengchu to pay attention to his behavior.
After the software was downloaded, several people moved to the long table. There were more than a dozen two-player games in the software, which required two people to face each other and operate the same screen. Most of the games were very simple, such as comparing who could do arithmetic faster.
After several people sat down, Fu Zhengchu was about to sit opposite Yun Li, but was pushed by Fu Shize who walked to the long table.
Fu Shi said: "Move over."
Fu Zhengchu didn't understand, but he had drunk too much when playing dice just now, so now he could only passively accept the information and move aside.
Fu Shi sat opposite Yun Li. His eyes were no longer as sharp and cold as usual, as if they were covered with a layer of moisture. He tapped the screen of his phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Open."
“…”
Yunli obediently opened the game software, and the game would split the screen in two, with each person controlling half. The first two-player game was arithmetic.
From the very beginning of the game, Yun Li was being bullied by Fu Shi Ze. Fu Zhengchu and Xu Qingsong on the side were fighting back and forth. Yun Li had heard Fu Zhengchu exclaim "Wow" several times.
Yunli began to regret grouping himself with Fu Shi Ze.
Will I be considered a fool as soon as I start pursuing you?
Her grades weren't particularly good, but they weren't bad either. And wasn't this just math? Could math make such a big difference?
After playing for a while, Fu Shi leaned his hands on the long table, supporting his face, and tapped the screen with his other hand.
752+288=?
Yunli had just entered the answer when the other side of the screen announced the victory. He had played dozens of rounds and had not won a single one.
My mentality is a bit broken: "Can't you just let me go?"
Fu Shi was stunned for a moment. He had been careless before, but now he became focused and waited until Yun Li won every round before making any moves.
After winning several games in a row, Yun Li felt humiliated and said slowly to the person on the other side, "Fu Shi Ze, please give me some dignity."
“…”
After playing almost all the mini-games in the game, more than an hour had passed. Fu Zhengchu asked Yunli if a woman had flirted with Fu Shi Ze just now.
She told the truth.
Fu Zhengchu was already drunk, and curled his lips: "You don't know your own limits. My uncle's money can only be spent on the younger generation." Realizing that this did not include the other two, he added: "It's okay to spend it on Sister Lili."
Deng Chuqi thought it was funny and asked, "How come you can give me flowers without telling me? Are you discriminating against me?"
Fu Zhengchu glanced at Deng Chuqi, then at Yun Li, and said seriously: "Sister Lili is so beautiful, if she had long hair..." Before he could finish his words, a peanut hit him on the head.
Before he could figure out the direction, he saw Fu Shize put one hand on Fu Zhengchu's head and scratched it, saying calmly, "Be more restrained."
After saying that, he let the others play by themselves and got up and walked out.
Fu Zhengchu was already drunk at the table and was sleeping on his chair. Xia Congsheng and Deng Chuqi had good alcohol tolerance and were talking about company matters.
After waiting for a long time for Fu Shihze to come back, Yunli got up and made an excuse to go to the bathroom, then found a back door and slipped out.
In early autumn, the cool breeze blows through the streets and alleys, and Nanwu is filled with the faint fragrance of osmanthus.
There were shadows on the roadside. Yunli tightened her coat and looked around, but she didn't see Fu Shize. She walked forward with her arms around her chest. At this time, the bars along the way were brightly lit.
I walked to the bridge and walked around a few times, but didn't find anyone. There was not even a street light on the other side of the bridge.
After hesitating for a while, Yunli turned around and went back.
"Yunlili."
After walking a few steps, Yun Li suddenly heard Fu Shi Ze's voice. He didn't react and turned around, only to see a little red light under the tree.
Fu Shi walked out from the darkness.
Yunli looked at the ground. Although it was not clear, there were already piles of cigarette butts there.
Not knowing when he discovered her, Yunli wondered: "Have you been here all along?"
"Um."
Yunli couldn't believe it: "Why didn't I see you?"
Fu Shi was not wearing a coat, only a thin shirt, but he didn't seem to feel cold.
He stamped out his cigarette and said, "Are you looking for me?"
