When I got home from get off work, the furnishings in the house were the same as when I left, but it seemed like everything had changed. Yunli threw her bag on the sofa, and the cardboard drone she had assembled a few days ago was still on the coffee table.
I guess it can’t be delivered.
Things made of cardboard are fragile and cannot be put into a box. They also take up too much space on the table. Yunli held it in his hand and weighed it for a long time.
Still can't bear to throw it away.
She found a taller shelf and made room for it. Well, out of sight, out of mind.
Sitting in front of the computer with swollen eyes from crying, Yunli read the comments on the EAW promotional video released today. Most of them were about making an appointment to experience the EAW center.
The purpose of the dynamic promotional video was achieved, but Yunli was in a terrible mood.
I read the loving comments from fans, most of whom said things like “My wife is so great” and “My wife is a tech expert”.
Yunli glanced at a blank avatar with a name consisting of a few letters and the two words "good-looking" written on it. The comments were instantly drowned out by the new ones.
For three consecutive days, Yunli was depressed and had difficulty falling asleep.
While attending classes as usual, Yunli still often picks up his phone, but the WeChat interface that he usually browses to is no longer accessible.
Fu Zhengchu also tried to invite her to play King of Glory, intending to help her call Fu Shize to play in a three-person team. Fu Zhengchu was so eager to help, but Yunli didn't have the courage to tell him that she had lost, so she just found an excuse to decline.
After that meeting downstairs, she has never seen Fu Shizhe again.
The two people were like two parallel lines that no longer intersected. Until now, even if she gave up unilaterally, Fu Shizhe might still be completely unaware of it.
She seemed to have no sense of existence.
On Tuesday morning, Yunli stayed in bed and refused to get up.
She always felt that going to EAW again would require overcoming many obstacles. One of the original reasons for coming to intern was gone, and Yunli couldn't imagine how she would react if she saw Fu Shizhe again at EAW.
After struggling for a while, Yunli stood up with dark circles under her eyes to brush her teeth. She had been preparing herself mentally for three days - there was no need to give up her first internship halfway because of a failed relationship.
Arriving at the company, Yunli took bread and milk to the lounge to eat breakfast as usual. Not long after he sat down, he heard a noise coming from the sofa behind him.
Yunli froze for a moment, raised his head, and saw Fu Shi approaching. How many days had it been since we last met? Six, seven, eight?
Yunli couldn't remember clearly.
Fu Shi also seemed to be lacking in sleep and looked a little listless.
He stopped in front of the coffee machine, the sound of beans crushing filled the entire space, and then Yunli heard him ask.
"Want some coffee?"
After confirming that there was no one around, Fu Shi could only ask himself.
Yunli lowered his head: "No."
She had imagined this scene many times, and when asked about it, she felt at a loss. Yunli picked up the unfinished milk and hurriedly got up and left.
At this moment, Yun Li's behavior was like Fu Shi was a monster. He turned his head away with a confused expression.
Fu Shi recalled what happened a few days ago.
After sending Yunli back to Qilixiangdu that night, he drove back to Jiangnanyuan from the roadside at three in the morning.
Before going to bed, Fu Shi turned up the ringtone of his cell phone to the maximum to prevent Yun Li from finding him in the morning. When he woke up, it was already Saturday noon.
After hastily thawing two sandwiches, he sat on the balcony and read the comments under each of Yunli's videos again.
As dusk fell, Fu Shi realized that Yun Li had not looked for him the entire day.
He took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and checked the time. It was half past five. He drank half of the bottle. The coldness brought back a trace of rationality but did not calm the restlessness in his heart.
Want to see her.
Before picking up his coat and going out, Fu Shi caught a glimpse of the scarf on the sofa, reached out to take it, and carefully wrapped it around himself twice in front of the mirror.
Drove to Haitian Shopping Mall and bought some cakes.
When he got downstairs to her building, Fu Shi made two phone calls, but Yun Li didn't answer.
He had nothing to do, so he just waited there.
In the dark, Fu Shi saw Yun Li get out of the car. She was wearing light makeup and a turquoise dress with the hem of her skirt still swaying.
The one who sent her back was Yin Yucheng.
The two are celebrities in their respective schools and have had more or less interactions with each other.
Yin Yucheng got out of the car and opened the door for Yunli. After returning to the car, he saw another person in the back seat. Yin Yucheng rolled down the passenger window and stared at Yunli for several seconds.
All are men.
There is no need to explain the thinking behind this behavior.
Fu Shi fell into a moment of confusion.
He looked down at the cigarette between his fingers. The wound on his palm had already formed a scar. Thinking back to the past year and a half when he had only a few sober days, he instantly regained his sanity.
——His arrival might be a ruin to her.
It's just that some people are less rational than him.
A day later, the notification bar on my phone reminded me of an update from Xianyun Didajiang, which was about making a cardboard drone. At the end of the video, she said - it was a gift to an important person.
For some reason, he felt relieved.
He gave up on himself, but there were still people who didn't give up on him.
And he also realized that he didn't want her to give up.
He had originally planned to stay in EAW from morning till night, but his elderly family member was sick, so Fu Shi went to stay with him for a few days. When Xu Qingsong came to visit, the two chatted in the corridor.
After learning about some places to eat with Xu Qingsong, Fu Shi asked him before leaving: "Is there anything on my table?"
Xu Qingsong: "I took a look before I left, and there were only a few books and computers."
Fu Shi fell silent.
…
Back to reality, Yunli had already walked to the door with resistance in his behavior. Fu Shi lowered his head and repeatedly tapped the handle of the cup with his index finger.
"Isn't that drone for me?"
Yunli stood still without looking back: "No."
Seeing that Fu Shize didn't say anything else, she closed the door.
After returning to her seat, Yunli placed the milk on the table and stared at the words on it in a trance. She just wanted to escape from the lounge, but she realized later that her chest felt stuffy as if a big stone was blocking it.
She closed her eyes.
Maybe because she was the one who pursued from beginning to end and then gave up, Yunli felt like she was performing a one-man show. It sounded like Fu Shizhe had watched her video and thought she wanted to give him the drone, just as Yunli imagined.
Fu Shize didn't even notice that she had deleted his WeChat.
Yunli suddenly felt aggrieved. This whole process was just a failure in expressing his feelings and pursuing the person. Even giving up the pursuit was one-sided.
Yunli wanted to send a WeChat message to Fu Shi Ze to tell him that she had given up pursuing him and wished him happiness.
…
But she had already deleted Fu Shizhe.
At noon, Yunli unexpectedly received a call from Yin Yucheng.
The voice on the other end of the phone was low and gentle: "Hello, I am Yin Yunyi's brother Yin Yucheng."
Yunli searched his memory for a while before remembering that this was Yunye’s classmate.
"Since Yunyi lived on campus, I was the one who picked up all the letters sent to her home. I found that her former class had sent her postcards, about two a week, for three months."
Yunli didn't quite understand: "Yunyi is quite popular."
Yin Yucheng chuckled, "Yes. Although they are all signed "Class 15, Grade 2", I compared the handwriting and found that they are the same."
Yunli: “Oh…”
Yin Yucheng: "Well, the words are the same as those on the gift box at that time."
Yunli: “…”
Yin Yucheng: "My family is a little worried about Yunyi falling in love at this stage. I'm near Haitian Commercial City. Is it convenient for me to come out and chat?"
After making an appointment with Yin Yucheng, Yunli sent a message to Yunye: [Yunye, I am totally convinced by you!!!]
This person is at school and probably has no time to look at his phone.
Yunli couldn't help but suspect that every time Yunye called her before, it was just to ask her to bring a gift for Yin Yunyi.
It was still the same cafe as last time. When Yunli arrived, Yin Yucheng was already waiting. When he saw Yunli, he reached out and handed her the menu.
Yunli: "No, I have to go to work later."
Yin Yucheng covered the menu and asked, "Which company are you interning at nearby?"
Yunli: "EAW, that's the VR experience center."
Yin Yucheng held his chin and thought about it. When he was about to ask more questions, Yun Li took the initiative to speak: "Did you mean before that my brother and your sister fell in love prematurely?"
Probably he didn't expect Yun Li to be so nervous. He smiled and took out a stack of postcards from his briefcase. They were basically made of simple kraft cardboard, mixed with a few commemorative postcards of Xifu Experimental Middle School.
"Our family is quite strict with Yunyi. We usually only give her bracelets. Maybe that's why your brother sent a postcard." Yin Yucheng said this as if he was watching a show, as if he was waiting to see what would happen next.
"Maybe it's not what you think..." Yunli didn't finish his words. When he saw the words on the back of the postcard, he fell silent.
There seemed to be twenty postcards in this stack, and Yunli saw familiar handwriting on all of them. But unlike the usual scribblings, the words on each postcard were neatly written.
Yunli returned the postcard: "What do you think?"
She just glanced at it briefly, and Yin Yucheng was a little surprised: "Don't you want to see the content?"
Yunli: "Forget it, it looks like it was written by my brother. I don't dare to peek at his letters."
Hearing her words, Yin Yucheng laughed: "Not really?"
Yunli was confused and didn't know what was wrong with what he said.
Yin Yucheng stared at the young girl in front of him and said without any embarrassment: "I just came to confirm with you whether it is your brother's handwriting or not. I have an idea in my mind."
Yun Li looked at the postcards in front of him and asked with mixed feelings, "Does Yun Yi agree that you can take these letters out?"
"Yun Yi is still relatively naive. He probably just thought that this was sent by the original class."
Yunli understood what he said. It was Yunye who had a one-sided love for Yin Yunyi and now the other party was worried that it would affect Yin Yunyi's studies.
This was the first time Yunli had dealt with such a matter for Yunye. She said with some apology: "Then I'll go back and talk to Yunye."
Yin Yucheng thought for a while and then said, "We haven't thought about it yet. If it doesn't affect our studies, we don't plan to intervene. If you have any news, just call me."
Yin Yucheng invited Yunli to dinner again, but Yunli refused. After thinking it over again and again, she couldn't help but ask, "Well, can I ask you something?"
Yin Yucheng: "You say."
Yunli: "Will Yunyi write back to Yunye?"
Yin Yucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably not. As far as I know, she doesn't have pocket money to buy it."
Yunli: “Oh…”
I remember that Yunye was always in a trance every day, either doing homework or playing games, looking like an uncivilized boy.
I actually persisted for three months, sending letters but receiving no response.
Yunli couldn't help but put himself in Yunye's shoes and felt strong sympathy for him.
Yin Yucheng put on his coat, followed her, and said politely: "I'll take you to the company gate. It just so happens that I can also find out where Yun Ye's sister works."
Yun Li was about to refuse, but Yin Yucheng raised his voice and said half-jokingly: "Maybe we will be a family in the future."
Yunli: “…”
The two did not communicate along the way. Yin Yucheng looked down at the girl next to him. She didn't seem to be very good at socializing with strangers. He could clearly feel her discomfort.
After arriving at the entrance of EAW, Yin Yucheng did not go in. Instead, he smiled and said to her, "Don't be too nervous about this matter. We can communicate again if there is any news."
Yunli nodded, turned around and swiped her card. Yin Yucheng's figure was reflected on the glass door. He hadn't left yet. She pretended not to see him, lowered her head and walked directly back to the lounge.
It was now 12:45 and her lunch box was still there. There was no one in the lounge, and the lunch boxes were placed in a thermos bag on the table. There were two boxes left, and the soup had leaked into the bag.
Before the door could be closed, it was blocked by someone behind her. Fu Shi pushed the door open and stood beside her. Yun Li could catch a glimpse of the tip of his shoes and the bottom of his trousers.
Yunli just wanted to grab her lunch box and leave immediately, but the person next to her moved and gently pushed away the hand she had just extended.
“Don’t get your hands dirty.”
Fu Shi used a tissue to wipe the soup off the edge of the lunch box, then took out both boxes and put them in the microwave to heat them up.
The air conditioner was set to 30 degrees, and the room was hot and stuffy. He opened the window halfway, and after the cool wind hit it, Yunli felt that he could breathe a little more comfortably.
A familiar figure was walking before her eyes, but her legs seemed to be glued to the spot and unable to move.
With a ding sound.
Fu Shi opened the microwave, put two pieces of paper under it, placed the two lunch boxes side by side in adjacent positions, opened them one by one, and then unpacked the chopsticks one by one.
He pulled out his chair and looked up at the man standing there motionless.
"Sit here?"
