Walking out from the ground parking lot, there is a long corridor with mottled holiday lights and people selling roses in baskets along the way.
Fu Shi stopped and took one from it.
The little girl said decisively: "One hundred."
Yunli: “…”
Before she could stop him, Fu Shi had already paid the money.
It is a style that is pinned on the hand.
He lifted her wrist and passed her hand through the ribbon loop.
"It does look good." Yun Li raised her hand and looked at it for a while. Although it was not her money, she felt bad that it came out of Fu Shizhe's pocket.
She pursed her lips and continued, "It's like being charged an IQ tax."
“…”
After saying this, Yunli felt that she was a little ungrateful. She found a reasonable excuse: "When it comes to love, even a top scorer in science can't escape the fate of having zero IQ."
Fu Shize: "..."
The little bit of romance was shattered by Yunli, and Fu Shi walked forward without saying a word.
After entering the mall, Fu Shi went to the restroom. When he came out, he saw Yun Li holding an extra rose in his hand.
Yunli put it on him. He didn't resist. He smiled and said, "Someone just said it was a tax on my IQ." He paused, "They also said my IQ is zero."
"You hold a grudge too much." Yunli commented, "It's been five minutes since this happened."
“…”
Fu Shi said nothing, but gently took her hand and walked upstairs.
Two roses were placed around their wrists, occasionally brushing against each other.
After finishing their meal, the two returned to Jiangnan Garden, and Fu Shi went to take a shower first.
Yunli went back to his room by himself and sat against the wall.
Everything should be... normal, right?
Yunli was in a daze for a while, still thinking about the photo album in the afternoon.
Not wanting to dwell on this emotion, she lay down on the bed and called Yunye.
The boy answered immediately and showed off the postcard he had just received to her with a cocky look on his face.
Yunye: "I'm sending a message to Waiwai."
Waiwai - Yunli automatically connected it with the initials of Yin Yunyi's name, yy. She frowned: "Doesn't she have a cell phone?"
Yunye: "Her brother bought her an old-fashioned phone that can only make calls and send text messages."
Seeing him stroking his chin and thinking for a long time, Yunli couldn't help but ask, "What did you send?"
Yunye: “One.”
Yunli: “What?”
Yunye explained: "I was afraid her parents would check their phone, so I sent a one in the morning and evening, which means good morning and good evening."
Yunli laughed and said, "That's awesome."
She mocked mercilessly: "It takes that long to send one."
Yunli: "Don't you feel inferior when you are with Yin Yunyi?"
Yunye glanced at the camera in confusion.
Yunli added: "She is so much prettier than you."
"If I had low self-esteem, I wouldn't pursue her. Why do you want to make yourself suffer?" Yun Ye said impatiently, scratching his hair and zooming out: "Look for yourself, I am worthy of her."
“…”
Yunye’s reply hit Yunli’s pain point.
Seeing her depressed face, Yun Ye was stunned: "Did your brother-in-law bully you?"
Yunli sighed heavily: "There is a sense of distance between your brother-in-law and me. He hasn't told me many things."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Yunye got up and went to the bathroom, not taking it seriously: "Why don't you go ask him?"
"I asked..." Yunli's expression was full of embarrassment, "I don't know how to say it. Your sister is going to learn sexual helplessness."
"No way?" Yun Ye looked at the camera and laughed sarcastically, as if he was a little angry: "Yun Li, don't be so stubborn at home and suffer injustice outside."
He lowered his eyes, not caring about her reaction, and looked like he deserved a beating: "If that's the case, I'm going to stand on Dad's side."
“…”
Yunye was already brushing his teeth. The toothbrush poked one side of his face twice as big as usual. He mumbled, "The braised pork you froze for me before you left was poisonous. I felt sick after eating it today."
Spitting out the foam, he complained, "It doesn't feel right."
Yun Li was confused and directly retorted: "You didn't get enough rest. Stop staying up late to write postcards to Yin Yunyi."
Yunye guessed that she was in a bad mood and chatted with her until his bedtime.
After hanging up the phone, Yunli started a live broadcast. Facts proved that she shouldn't have been so stubborn. Fans soon noticed that she was not in good shape and was in a low mood, so she had to quickly turn off the live broadcast.
She was in a bad mood and slept very uneasily.
Half awake and half asleep, a little night light was brought into the room.
Yunli opened her eyes with her back to the door, while Fu Shi had been standing at the door and walked behind her after a while.
Yunli closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She waited for a long time and fell into a half-asleep state again.
The back of her hand felt cool and soft, moving upwards until it stopped in front of the rose - she was reluctant to pick it.
She fell asleep in a daze and didn't know what time he stayed.
Nanwu University started school early, and Yunli represented EAW in conducting spring recruitment presentations at the university.
It was Yunli's first time speaking in such a public occasion, and she was nervous for a few days. Fortunately, Fu Shizhe accompanied her in rehearsal for two or three nights.
By the time the briefing ended, it was already past three in the afternoon.
There were several missed calls on the phone, all from Yun Yongchang.
Yunli stared at the screen for a long time before returning the call.
Yun Yongchang didn't blame her for not answering the phone. He sounded calm and said, "I brought you a spring quilt. It's at the door of the house you rented."
“…”
This came so suddenly that Yunli didn't even receive any tip-off from Yunye.
"Oh... I just got off work. It'll take me 20 minutes to get there by taxi." Yun Li sent a message to Fu Shi Ze anxiously.
The meeting between father and daughter was not as hostile as imagined.
Yun Yongchang was carrying a big bag containing two quilts.
Yunli muttered, "I don't need a quilt..."
"Spring quilt and winter quilt, Nanwu is colder than Xifu." Yun Yongchang said with a stern face. Seeing Yun Li in a daze, he said stiffly: "Why are you standing there? Open the door!"
The feeling of being touched by his father's love only lasted for a few seconds. Yun Li turned on the light and poured a glass of water for Yun Yongchang. He said stiffly, "Are you still talking to him?"
Yunli nodded.
Yun Yongchang clenched his fists and said in an unquestionable tone: "Let him come tonight and eat outside."
Yun Yongchang insisted on taking a taxi by himself, as if taking Fu Shizhe's car was taking advantage of him.
He said coldly: "I don't lack cars in Xifu."
Yunli knew that he couldn't accept the fact that Fu Shi was Nanwu.
In the taxi, Yun Li's mind was in a mess. She kept editing the message to Fu Shi Ze, wanting Fu Shi Ze to say more about going to work in Xifu, but she felt it was inappropriate.
Yunli: [My father would rather I return to Xifu.]
She felt an indescribable shame.
She didn't want Fu Shizhe to think that Yun Yongchang was a difficult person to get along with.
Once she had this consideration, all her words and actions became cautious.
Fu Shi booked a private room in a famous restaurant in Nanwu City.
Yunli had just gotten out of the taxi, but Fu Shi was not in the box, but waiting for them at the door.
His demeanor was calm and composed.
She suddenly relaxed a little.
Yun Yongchang had no expression from beginning to end, and asked Fu Shizhe politely.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious until Yun Yongchang suddenly asked, "You're not in school? What's your degree?"
Yunli put down his bowl and chopsticks and answered first: "He studied undergraduate at Western University of Science and Technology."
Yun Yongchang said "oh" and continued to ask: "Are you not going to continue reading?"
Fu Shi said calmly, "I got my PhD from Western University of Science and Technology."
When Yun Yongchang heard that he was studying for a doctorate at West China University of Technology, his expression improved a little. After all, more than half of the graduates of West China University of Technology stayed in Xifu.
Unable to be fooled, Yun Yongchang pointed out the most bizarre thing, "You are the same age as my daughter, and you haven't graduated yet, right? Why aren't you in school?"
“…”
"I'm dropping out of school."
His tone was calm, not one that showed concern.
Yun Li could clearly feel that Yun Yongchang's expression froze as soon as the words "leave school" were uttered.
She felt suffocated.
Yun Yongchang refused Fu Shizhe's offer to send them back and also refused his gift. His attitude was very clear.
On the way back in the car, Yun Yongchang said coldly: "What kind of boyfriend do you have? He can't even read a book."
"Are you only attracted by his appearance?"
Seeing Yunli remained silent, he took two deep breaths and said, "His parents are professors. I don't have much ability, but at least the children I taught can finish their studies."
Yun Li couldn't stand him belittling Fu Shi Ze like that, but she didn't want to argue with him in public, so she bit her lip and said nothing.
"I've met more people than you've eaten. This boy looks like he has a mental problem." Yun Yongchang kept talking. "Don't worry about his family conditions or his appearance. He can't even continue his studies."
In the eyes of Yun Yongchang's generation, life is bitter and sweet, and life must go on no matter what.
He couldn't understand what kind of problem could force a person to drop out of school.
Yun Li couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Dad, can you please be quiet outside?" Only then did Yun Yongchang shut up.
The driver listened to her all the way, and when he got off the car, he said to Yunli: "Girl, sometimes you should listen to the opinions of your elders in such matters, and don't be blinded by love."
After returning, Yun Li did not argue with Yun Yongchang. No matter what he said, Yun Li only insisted on two sentences -
"It's my freedom to date him, don't interfere."
"It's his freedom to decide whether to take a leave of absence or stay in Nanwu or Xifu. Don't worry about it."
It was rare for her to act so strong and invulnerable. After Yun Yongchang said a few more words, he became so angry that he booked a flight back that night.
Yun Yongchang came and went in a hurry, leaving a mess everywhere.
The moment he closed the door, Yunli came to his senses.
She felt like she had survived a disaster.
Yun Li was not afraid of Yun Yongchang's opposition, nor did she care whether Fu Shizhe dropped out of school or not.
The worst outcome is that Yun Yongchang doesn't like Fu Shizhe. After she endures for a few years, Yun Yongchang has no choice but to give in.
Sitting on the sofa, sadness slowly enveloped Yunli.
She turned on her phone. Fu Shize hadn't sent her a message since dinner. She typed a few words and deleted them one by one.
Sent a message to tell him that Yun Yongchang was gone.
The clock slowed down, and it was almost ten o'clock before she heard the sound of the door opening.
Their eyes met, and Fu Shi stood at the door for a while.
He slowly walked to her side, leaned down, held the back of her head with his hands and brought her into his arms.
