Was that her illusion?
The exact details are unknown.
…
Yunli received a call from Yang Fang.
"Your brother doesn't play with his phone much at night recently. He sits at his desk every day when he comes home. Is he stimulated by something?"
Yunli immediately remembered Yunye's premature love affair and said dryly, "No way. Mom, don't worry about it."
Yang Fang said worriedly, "Please ask your brother how he is doing recently. Is he under too much pressure from studying? I'm worried he won't be able to bear it if it continues like this."
Yunli: “…”
I guess it has nothing to do with learning.
Not daring to explain casually, Yun Li agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go ask him."
Yunli also felt that it was time to talk to Yunye about this matter, so he made a video call.
When the call was connected, the handsome face of the young man appeared on the screen. He lowered his mouth unwillingly: "You didn't even read the message I sent you."
Yunli: “Oh, really?”
After checking the chat history, she found that after she sent Yunye a message like [Yunye, I admire you so much!!!], he did reply to her messages for several consecutive days.
Yunye: [? ]
One day later.
Yunye: [? ? ]
Two days later.
Yunye: [? ? ? ]
…
Before, Yunli was overwhelmed by his own emotional problems and didn't pay much attention to Yunye's meaningless replies.
Thinking of Yin Yucheng's special trip that day, Yun Li curled his lips and said, "Oh, I forgot about it when I was busy. When I was texting you, Yin's brother came to visit and said that you sent two postcards to Yin every week—" Yun Li said sarcastically, "You should be so busy that you don't need your sister to reply to your messages?"
Yunye: “…”
Yunye: "How did he know it was sent by me?"
Yun Li was speechless: "Yun Ye, can you be more skillful in pursuing someone? More than 20 postcards all have the same handwriting. The other party's brother has even come to our door!"
Yunye held it in for a long time before blurting out, "Damn it, her brother read my letter."
“…”
Yunli: "Okay, I also think I might have peeked."
Yunye said angrily: "Damn, this is too shameless."
Yunli thought about it and agreed, "Damn, it is a bit true."
Yunye quickly accepted the reality and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you tell me such a big thing now?"
"I'm not telling you that I forgot." Yun Li didn't feel sorry at all. Instead, he said earnestly, "If you do this, it won't be good if it affects other girls' grades. Yun Ye, we still have to do that. Be restrained."
Yunye: "No, Yunli! Someone has read your brother's letter! Aren't you going to help seek justice?"
"Oh." Yun Li didn't respond to his words, but changed his angle: "Also, it turns out that you sent it in the name of the whole class. I thought you were so bold before, and I misunderstood you."
Yunye turned his head away, refusing to look at the camera, and said impatiently: "Why do you mind me?"
Not frightened by his tone, Yun Li calculated the benefits of Yun Ye's giving behavior and reminded him, "What if you sent so many postcards and she thought they were sent by someone else?"
He looked nonchalant: "As long as I can receive it, that's fine."
Seeing his invulnerable appearance, Yun Li thought of himself again and said sadly: "Yun Ye, if you keep giving, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end. Do you know how much you should love yourself?"
Yunye: “…”
Yunye: "Why do you suddenly say such things?"
Yunli: “…”
Yunli: "I'm just giving you some advice as someone who has been through it..."
Yunye: "Doesn't that brother like you?"
After a moment of silence, Yunli simply ignored the question: "Let's continue talking about your matter. It seems that her family doesn't intend to interfere. As long as it doesn't affect your studies, it's fine. They just came to me to confirm this matter."
The biggest worry was solved, Yunye breathed a sigh of relief and showed a young man's unique smile: "Then tell me, can I still send it to her in the future?"
Yunli immediately distanced herself from the matter: "I don't support premature love, and I won't send you money."
She suddenly remembered the reason for the call: "By the way, my mother just called me and said that you don't play with your phone every day and sit at your desk as soon as you get home."
Yunye muttered, "It's not good not to play with the phone. What is she thinking?"
"Okay, I'll just give you a reminder, please pay attention."
"oh."
After Yunli hung up the phone, she saw that Yang Fang had sent her two more messages.
One is a photo of Yunye’s transcript.
Another one is: [What if your brother is exhausted? [crying]]
Yunli clicked it and took a look at the transcript.
It really has no impact at all.
Yunli opened Yunye's chat box again and sent him a red envelope of 200 yuan. After thinking for a while, he wrote a note at the bottom: [Meal money].
-
As the day for going to the B&B approached, Yunli became uncontrollably anxious.
Yunli made an appointment with Fu Zhengchu in advance that after she got off work at EAW on Friday, Xu Qingsong would pick her up at the apartment, take her to a nearby supermarket to shop, and then drive to the B&B.
No one told her whether Fu Shizhe would go or not.
After get off work, Yunli returned to the apartment and picked up her luggage.
The baseball cap given by Fu Shi Ze was still on the table. She had occasionally run into Fu Shi Ze in the lounge these days, but after returning to the office, she didn't want to go out of her way to find him again. After so long, she still hadn't returned it.
Maybe he will go too.
Yunli put the baseball cap into her bag. When she went downstairs, Xu Qingsong's car was already parked outside. The window was rolled down. Xu Qingsong was in the driver's seat and Fu Zhengchu was in the passenger seat.
Yunli breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to open the car door, it slowly opened from the inside out. Yunli lowered his head and saw Fu Shize, who had a black bag next to him, placed on the side of the car door.
Fu Shi moved a little further in and gave her his original seat.
“…”
Yunli pretended to be calm, bent down and got in. His warmth was still left on the seat. Yunli placed his bag in the empty space between them.
Xu Qingsong turned sideways and greeted Yun Li. He was wearing a cotton and linen floral shirt today, which was made of beige and brick red, and a solid-color suit-style jacket on the outside.
Noticing Yunli's lingering gaze, he did not shy away and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yun Li retracted her gaze and said, "I feel that Mr. Xu's shirts are all very bright. I rarely see people wearing them." She was not very good at complimenting people, so she said vaguely, "They are all quite good-looking."
Hearing this, Xu Qingsong smiled and said nonchalantly, "Really? I thought Aze's clothes were too monotonous before, so I wanted to give him a few sets, but was rejected."
The topic was related to Fu Shizhe, and Yunli's tone of inquiry became unnatural: "Oh, why..."
Xu Qingsong glanced at Fu Shize from the rearview mirror and said jokingly, "I don't know, maybe he thinks she's ugly."
As the center of discussion, Fu Shi did not express any opinion on this, and only raised his eyelids when it was mentioned.
Taking this opportunity, Yunli looked at him. He was wearing a white shirt, light grey casual trousers and a black woolen coat.
After driving two or three kilometers, the car arrived at a nearby large supermarket.
As soon as they got on the elevator, Yun Li hurriedly said, "Fu Zhengchu, I'll go with you." Then he left the two people behind him and pulled a cart to Fu Zhengchu, and the two of them went straight to the snack area.
Looking at the dazzling array of snacks, Fu Zhengchu threw several large bags of potato chips into the cart. Seeing that Xu Qingsong and Fu Shize were a little distant, he moved closer to Yunli and said, "Sister Lili, I specially sat in the passenger seat today!"
“…”
No wonder Fu Shizhe was sitting in the back seat today. Normally he would be sitting in the passenger seat helping Xu Qingsong keep an eye on the road conditions.
Fu Zhengchu never forgot his mission of assisting. "Sister Lili, I saw a drone in your latest video. Is it for my uncle?"
The eyes of the person in front of him were clear, showing pure concern for his friend. Yunli didn't want to lie, so she said bluntly: "Yes..." She paused: "But I don't plan to send it."
Fu Zhengchu was not surprised at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "Why, Sister Lili, did you have a fight? You don't seem to care about my uncle anymore."
"No... I just won't give it to you." Yun Li denied it immediately, staring at the chocolate bar in his hand with a heavy heart.
Fu Zhengchu appeared to be picking snacks, but he was actually very anxious.
He made several appointments in the group, but both of them refused. After getting in the car, they didn't even say hello. When they arrived at the supermarket, Yunli refused to go with Fu Shizhe.
Even though Fu Zhengchu was a bit slow, he knew that something was wrong between the two of them.
Yunli was no longer a child and didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter, so he asked carefully, "Do I look like I'm ignoring him?"
Fu Zhengchu said honestly, "Resemble." He emphasized, "And it's quite obvious."
“…”
Fu Zhengchu: "Did my uncle do something to make you unhappy?"
Yunli was entangled for a long time, and couldn't say those words of giving up to Fu Zhengchu. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Does your uncle have a girl who has known you for a long time and has a good relationship with you?"
Fu Zhengchu was shocked and said, "Sister Lili, are you worried that my uncle has someone else?"
“…”
This makes it sound like she is catching a mistress.
"That's impossible." Fu Zhengchu racked his brains but couldn't think of a person, so he concluded, "The opposite sex who have known my uncle for a long time are all relatives, all blood-related. My uncle has a good upbringing, it's impossible, impossible."
Fu Zhengchu insisted, and Yunli was confused as he listened, muttering, "No?"
“…”
Back in the car, Yunli's thoughts were still on the conversation with Fu Zhengchu.
So, the previous statement that Fu Shi Ze had made an appointment might have been a misunderstanding? Yun Li stole a glance at Fu Shi Ze. He was looking down at his phone, chatting with someone on WeChat.
As they approached the highway exit, Xu Qingsong reminded them, "We're going to be on the highway soon, fasten your seat belts."
Yun Li's train of thought was interrupted. She fumbled for the webbing on the right side and pulled the buckle on the side of her leg. Fu Shi lowered his eyes and watched her try to buckle several times but failed each time.
Fu Shize: "I'll come."
Seeing that they were about to get on the highway, Yunli did not refuse: "Oh, okay..."
Fu Shi unfastened his seat belt and leaned closer to Yun Li. As his breath got closer, Yun Li repeatedly recited the Meditation Sutra in his heart.
However, when he actually took the ribbon in his hand, he felt as if an electric current was passing through his skin.
Yun Li's body was stretched straight, while Fu Shi lowered his head, his fluffy hair swaying with the bumps of the car. His bony hands were holding the buckle, very close to her legs in tight jeans, yet there was just a two-inch gap between them.
He buttoned it up easily.
Slowly moving back to its original position, Fu Shi fastened his seat belt, closed his eyes and rested.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. Yunli opened E-station. The number of comments increased rapidly recently. Yunli clicked on the dynamic reminder and scrolled down. There were dozens of comments in a row. Except for the few in the middle, they were all comments from the same person. The avatar was blank, the name was efe, and the content of the comments was [good looking].
This person also gave her a lot of gifts. He must be a wealthy new fan. Yunli sent a private message to the other party and sent a message saying "Thank you^^".
When Yunli and his companions arrived, Xia Congsheng and his companions had already been there for an hour. In addition to Xia Congsheng and Deng Chuqi, there were two male colleagues they knew in common, named Chen Renran and Lu Yu.
Xia Congsheng's family arranged a self-built small villa for these people to have a party. There were four rooms in the villa, each with an open-air hot spring. The three girls stayed in the parent-child room, and the other two stayed in one room.
There was no elevator in the small villa, so Fu Zhengchu helped carry the luggage upstairs, while Fu Shi directly picked up Yunli's handbag and walked to the stairs to wait for her.
The others were chatting animatedly, but Yun Li and Fu Shi seemed like outsiders, and neither of them spoke.
After going upstairs, they greeted each other and Fu Shi handed the handbag to Yun Li.
"Thank you... By the way, I'll return the hat to you." Yunli opened the zipper and took out the black baseball cap from inside.
"No need." Fu Shize didn't take it. He loosened the backpack on his right shoulder and opened it to show Yunli. There was another blue hat inside. "I have one myself."
Yun Li was confused: "I have one too..."
Fu Shize said nothing, and turned back to his room. His room was next to Yunli's, both at the end of the corridor. Xu Qingsong had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely browsing his tablet.
"Why didn't you tell me that you brought your colleagues here?" Yun Li came up to Deng Chuqi and complained.
She did not forget what Deng Chuqi said on the last phone call about bringing two single colleagues with her. She always felt that the two of them were looking at her with eager eyes.
"Then I didn't expect that Xia Xia's uncle would come. At first, Xia Xia said he wouldn't come!" Deng Chuqi also whispered, but did not hide his intentions. "Originally, I was okay with these two colleagues, but compared with these three uncles and nephews, I feel a little embarrassed. But handsomeness depends on fate, and goodness depends on nurture."
Yunli tickled her: "You didn't say anything to them in private, did you?"
"Uh..." Deng Chuqi smiled and flattered: "I told you you are single."
Yunli: “…”
Seeing her expression gradually becoming serious, Deng Chuqi raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Then we can't hang on to one tree. If you get in touch with other men, you may not care so much about this matter with Uncle Xia Xia. You should also not despise your colleagues just because they look plain."
Knowing that she meant well, Yunli sighed.
She didn't want to admit that her heart could only hold one person for the time being.
-
A quarter of an hour later, they returned to the living room to meet.
The living room of the small villa is mainly for entertainment. In the center of the living room is an oval transparent lamp surrounded by a circle of marble table boards, which can be used to play board games. The rest of the living room is placed with a billiard table, game consoles and small KTV equipment.
The heater was turned on, and everyone wore only a single layer of clothing. Chen Renran and Lu Yu sat on one side of the circle, followed by Deng Chuqi, Xia Congsheng, and Fu Zhengchu. There were several seats between Fu Zhengchu and Chen Renran.
Seeing Yunli, Chen Renran attentively pulled out the chair next to her, but she pretended not to see it and sat down next to Fu Zhengchu.
Fu Zhengchu was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone. Yunli caught a glimpse of Fu Shizhe's familiar profile picture. Fu Shizhe basically only responded to one sentence for every few words spoken by Fu Zhengchu.
After sitting down, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Fu Zhengchu put away his phone, looking a little flustered. His eyes drifted towards the stairs: "I just want to ask when my uncle will come down."
For some reason, Xu Qingsong and Fu Shizhe had not come downstairs yet.
The few of them first opened a deck of UNO. Lu Yu was responsible for dealing the cards. Chen Renran on the side poured Yun Li a glass of orange juice and swiftly placed the fruit slices in front of her, showing no sign of concealing his goodwill.
His smile only made Yunli's scalp tingle. Without even making eye contact with the other party, Yunli thanked him and pushed the fruit plate to Deng Chuqi's position.
Yunli had never played this board game before, so Fu Zhengchu briefly explained the rules to her.
A few people were just about to play a game. Yunli was not good at it and felt a little nervous. She leaned back and looked up to see Fu Shi walking down the stairs.
He was wearing a loose turquoise printed shirt, his porcelain-white skin framed by dark eyebrows and eyes. With the shirt, his emotionless and languid face looked seductive.
There was only one word in Yunli's mind.
Depend on.
