The sofa at home was L-shaped. Yun Ye sat on the sofa next to Fu Shi Ze, nibbling on the strawberries he gave her and stealing a few glances at him.
He seemed calm and indifferent to the outside world, but his dark pupils were cold and sharp. He leaned against the sofa without any support, staring at Yunli's direction.
Well, it’s not bad to be my own brother-in-law.
Yun Ye was still switching between peeking and eating secretly, when Fu Shi suddenly asked him, "What are you peeking at?"
“…”
"No." He ate a few strawberries in a hurry. Fearing that Yunli would hit him, he glanced at her again before carefully asking, "Brother, are you from West China University of Science and Technology?"
"Um."
Fu Shi looked at him thoughtfully: "How do you know?"
"Oh, my sister mentioned it." Yun Ye found an excuse. He was basically sure that Fu Shi Ze was the person Yun Li had stuck on the wall in high school. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Brother, don't listen to what I said just now. My sister has never chased anyone. Otherwise, according to her personality, she would chase that person even if he went to Mars."
“…”
"Have you been to Western University of Science and Technology?" Fu Shi handed Yun Ye a strawberry.
"Thank you, brother." Yun Ye said obediently. Fu Shi looked much gentler than before. He ate the strawberry and thought for a while, "My sister took me there a few times."
"Go for a visit?" Fu Shi handed over another strawberry.
"No...thank you, brother." Yunye took it again, "My sister said her friend was there, and she said she was going to look for someone, so I was reading with her there."
Fu Shi didn't continue the topic and continued to talk to him about applying to West China University of Science and Technology and his major.
The game over at Yunli's place was coming to an end, and Fu Shi pushed the strawberry plate towards Yunye again, "Eat some more."
Seeing that Yun Li was coming over, the two of them no longer had time to be alone, and Yun Ye hurriedly said: "Brother, my sister is a very good person."
"Um."
“She’s really nice.”
"Um."
"Do you think she's good?"
“…”
Yunye was not good at hiding his thoughts, and now he felt that his intentions were too obvious, so he ate a strawberry to cover up his embarrassment.
Fu Shi didn't say anything. The two siblings looked somewhat similar, and their expressions when embarrassed were almost the same.
When Yun Li took off his glasses, he saw Fu Shi Ze and Yun Ye sitting on the sofa and chatting. He looked much gentler and calmer than usual, like an older brother, while Yun Ye looked like an uncivilized teenager.
Thinking of what Fu Zhengchu said when he was drunk, Yun Li only had four words in his mind -
No! It’s impossible!
Damn.
It's hard to guard against a thief in your own home.
"Yun Ye, didn't you say you had a lot of homework?" Yun Li grabbed Yun Ye's wrist and pulled him into the room.
After closing the door, Yunye saw Yunli's expression and was frightened: "I didn't say anything!! I was just saying good things to you!"
Yunli said nothing.
Yunye was scared: "Really, I swear to God."
Yunli looked at him: "Yunye, you like girls, right?"
“…”
Yunye understood what she meant and said angrily, "Yunli, you are sick."
When Yunli returned to the living room, Fu Shi was already packing up the equipment. She glanced at the coffee table, and the papers were empty. Yunli was stunned for a moment: "Did you eat the strawberries?"
Fu Shi turned off his glasses, put all the brackets back into his bag, and then slowly replied, "No."
Yunli rushed back to Yunye's room and whispered, "Did you eat my strawberries?"
"Can't I eat?" Yunye looked confused.
Yunli: "No! I put one on the table."
Yunye: "I don't know which one it was. That brother handed me a lot."
“…”
Yunli glared at him and said, "You're going to make me die of anger. Don't eat the rest."
Yunye was speechless: "Strangers who met for the first time knew to let your brother eat strawberries. Yunli, you have been a sister for sixteen years, why don't you have any self-awareness?"
Thinking of her heart-shaped strawberry, Yunli felt extremely heartbroken. The plan she had been planning for the entire night was ruined. She had originally wanted Fu Shi to bring back a box of strawberries with the heart-shaped one on top.
Without paying any more attention to Yun Ye, she returned to the living room. Fu Shi had already packed up, changed his shoes and stood at the door. Yun Li didn't expect him to leave so soon, and she closed the door of the room and didn't react for a while.
"Are you leaving?"
"Um."
Yunye heard Yunli's question in the room, opened the door, and poked his head out: "Sister, please send brother off." He tilted his head: "Otherwise it would be impolite."
Yunli took the car keys, picked up her shoes, picked up a coat and followed Fu Shize. After the two of them entered the elevator, she pressed the basement level. Thinking of the beauty in the living room that was interrupted by Yunye, Yunli suddenly became a little nervous and pinched her sleeves unconsciously.
The parking space at home is near the elevator. After Yunli got in the car, he fastened his seat belt and lowered the window to get some fresh air.
Fu Shi stood outside the passenger seat and was reluctant to get in.
He was holding the car door with one hand. From Yunli's perspective, he could only vaguely see that he was hunched over with his pale chin resting against the car window.
Yunli thought the car door was not unlocked, so he leaned over and opened it for him.
As soon as the door opened, Fu Shi Ze leaned over and came in, stumbling onto the seat. Yun Li had not yet retracted his leaning body, and the smell of tobacco came towards him. The moment it touched him, Yun Li leaned back as if he had been electrocuted, holding his breath and not daring to speak.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, only daring to focus her eyes on the road conditions on both sides of the parking lot.
After a while, Fu Shizhe whispered, "Sorry."
Noticing that his voice was not right, Yun Li turned around and saw Fu Shize frowning, his hands grasping his abdomen, his body hunched tensely.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yun Li was still driving, at a loss, and pulled over as soon as he got out of the garage.
Fu Shi leaned back in his chair, sweat on his forehead, his body curled up, veins on his hands were visible, and he was clutching his abdomen. His face was pale to begin with, and now it was even more bloodless.
"Are you feeling sick in the stomach?" Yun Li frantically reached for her phone, but lost her grip and dropped it onto Fu Shi Ze. "I'll call 120. I, I have a car. I'll take you to the hospital now."
"No need." Fu Shi held her hand that was reaching for her phone, "You'll get used to it after a while."
After he finished speaking, he did not let go of Yunli's hand.
Yunli didn't dare to act rashly. He held his breath and waited for Fu Shizhe's action.
Every second seems endlessly long.
Slowly, his brows relaxed and his tense muscles began to relax.
He opened his eyes, his look full of fatigue.
Seeing this, Yunli asked: "Are you feeling better?"
"Um."
"Can I take you to the hospital now?" Yun Li asked cautiously.
"Go back to the hotel. I'll get some sleep."
Fu Shi said no more.
After sending him to the hotel, Yunli drove home with a lot on her mind, and then she realized that her hands were shaking. She held her shaking hands and walked to the kitchen worriedly.
Yang Fang and Yun Yongchang have already arrived home and are preparing lunch.
Yunye saw her coming back and came closer to her: "That brother today is quite handsome."
Yun Li's thoughts were all on Fu Shi Ze's stomachache, so he replied absentmindedly, "Well, then what?"
"She is tall and has a good temperament."
Yunli: "What do you want to say?"
"Yunli, why did you suddenly bring a boy home?" Yunye's eyes were clear and he stared at Yunli provocatively.
“…”
Yunli didn't want to pay attention to him.
Yun Ye approached her with gossiping eyes and said, "I definitely didn't recognize the wrong person. This brother is the one on your wall. And he also told me that he is from Western University of Science and Technology."
“…”
"Today when you were washing strawberries, that brother was watching you the whole time. My door was open, so he didn't notice me."
"You've been chasing me for so many years, and finally the clouds have cleared?"
Yunli couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Ignoring Yunye's numerous questions, Yunli brought the dishes to the table. Yun Yongchang had already sat down, looking unhappy. He first complained about the driving school, then shifted his focus to Yunye's studies.
Yunli thought about what Yunye had just said and responded absentmindedly.
"Did you ask Yunye to help you take a video today?"
Yunli did not deny: "Yeah."
Yunye quickly kicked her.
"Your brother has just been assigned to the top class," Yun Yongchang said in a deep voice, "Forget about your own poor grades, but don't come and harm your brother."
Yang Fang said dissatisfiedly: "It's rare for Lili to come back, can you please say less?"
Yun Yongchang: "I told you not to go to Nanwu for graduate studies, but you acted without authorization. Now you come back to shoot videos and ask your brother for help. Do you really think you can support yourself?"
Yunli took two mouthfuls of rice silently.
Yunye couldn't help but retort: "Dad, I just got into the mirror, I didn't do anything else, and it didn't affect my studies."
Yun Yongchang glared at him and said, "You shut up too."
“Pah.”
Yunli put down the chopsticks forcefully.
"I'm full, so I'm going out for a walk."
She stood up, picked up her coat and walked out.
Just as Yunli thought, the peaceful time at home was always very short. She began to regret her decision to stay at home for a week. Imagining the deadlock at the dining table in the next few days, she felt suffocated and wanted to escape.
He drove the car aimlessly onto the street and arrived at the city center. He was surrounded by familiar streets and shops. While staring blankly at the traffic light, Yunli could even remember the approximate duration.
My eyes turned red without me noticing.
Yun Yongchang always loves his children in the way he thinks is right. He was just complaining about Yun Li going to Nanwu for postgraduate study without permission, but he wanted to further belittle her and think that by putting pressure on her in this way, she would admit her mistake and give in.
Yunli gripped the steering wheel tightly, only to find that he had unknowingly driven to the vicinity of Fu Shizhe's hotel.
After finding an intersection to stop, she sent a message to Fu Shi: [Have you had dinner? ]
Yunli's mind was empty, and he continued to edit the message: [There is a famous fish porridge restaurant near your place, which is good for the stomach. How about we go there to eat together? ]
Without waiting for a reply, Yunli guessed his refusal and drove directly to the store to pack a sign.
The phone vibrated.
Wife: [No.]
really.
After driving back to the hotel, Yunli found a seat on the side of the road to listen. She carried the fish porridge to the hotel lobby and sat down. She edited several messages on her phone, but she didn't send any of them.
Afraid of being rejected again.
Yun Li stared at the porridge in his hand and muttered, "What should I do with you?"
After hesitating for a long time, she walked to the front desk and asked the front desk to help send her to Fu Shize's room. After the front desk went upstairs, she sat back on the public sofa in the lobby, hoping that he would come down to see her.
He's not in now.
The front desk clerk handed the thermal bag back to Yunli. She carried it back to the car in a daze, unable to tell what she was feeling.
Staring at the thermos bag in my hand, which is printed with colorful seafood patterns, I can feel the warmth coming from inside.
Didn't see him.
Yunli realized that she was not here because she thought Fu Shize had not finished his meal and had hurt his stomach. She was hurt, so she wanted to see him and have him by her side.
When Yun Li thought about having to face Yun Yongchang's face when he returned, he would rather spend the night in the car.
After browsing the phone for a while in the car, Yunye sent a message: [[Red Envelope] Don’t be unhappy]
Yunli: [I only accept red envelopes of 200. ]
Yunye: [[Red Envelope] Don’t be unhappy]
Yunli laughed and opened two red envelopes. The first one Yunye sent was 52 yuan, with an emoticon attached below, a kitten with eyes wide open scratching her obediently. The second one was 200 yuan, and the rest of the content was the same as the first red envelope.
Yunye: [??? Give it back to me first.]
Yunli: [Oh.]
Ten minutes later.
Yunye: [You haven't returned it to me yet. ]
Yunli: [Oh.]
Yunye: [……]
Her originally bad mood suddenly improved a lot. Yunli opened the photo album which was full of photos of her and Yunye, and she flipped through them for a long time.
She touched the porridge on the passenger seat and found it was cold. She thought of Yunye, her little brother who had grown up with her.
What about Fu Shi Ze?
She recalled the last time she saw his WeChat interface. Except for the more than one hundred unread messages from Lin Wanyin, the messages from other people were almost all from a week ago.
Yunli realized that Fu Shize might have always been alone.
After being in the car for nearly an hour, someone tapped on the car window. Yun Li came to his senses and looked sideways. Fu Shi was holding a can of beer and tapping on the car window.
Yunli hurriedly rolled down the window: "Why are you here?"
Fu Shi shook the can and said, "Buy things."
He walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in, then casually took the thermal bag on the seat and put it aside. Seeing the three big words "Fish Porridge Shop" printed on it, he thought for a moment and asked, "Is it for me?"
When I walked in, a few cans of beer in a plastic bag were making a noise.
"Well... it should be cold, so I won't eat it." Yun Li said slowly: "But you had a stomachache at noon, and you bought some in the evening..." She lowered her eyes and glanced at the beer in his plastic bag, "Five cans of beer, so you don't need to drink porridge."
Yunli usually spoke gently and softly to Fu Shize, but at this moment, there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
She didn't know how to get angry at Fu Shizhe, nor did she know if she had the right to do so, so she simply turned her face away and looked out the window.
"I'm in a bad mood right now. I don't want to chase you, so get off the car."
Fu Shizhe had just sat down when the person next to him suddenly wanted to ask him to get off the car. He was stunned and looked at Yunli a few times. She didn't even turn her head, as if she was sulking.
Not sure if he was frightened by Yun Li's bad tone, but Fu Shi consciously put the beer in his hand back into the bag, opened the car door and threw it directly into the trash can next to him, then took the insulation bag and opened it.
Yunli heard the sound of the sealed bag of the thermos bag being torn open, then he opened the lid and unpacked the outer packaging of the plastic spoon. After a moment, she heard no other sounds and turned around.
At this time, Yunli had controlled her emotions, and Fu Shi drank his porridge slowly. Seeing that Yunli was willing to pay attention to him, he looked at her calmly.
