Probably because he had not expected Fu Shi Ze to be so cooperative, Yun Li was quite happy and continued to watch the game with a smile.
Compared to the initial feeling of an icy cave next to him, Yunli now felt that the surroundings were much warmer. Fu Shi leaned back in his chair, occasionally picking up the clapper and waving it.
Just as Yun Li was peeking at Fu Shi Ze, the atmosphere at the scene was ignited again. Yun Li hurriedly followed the fans in the white zone and clapped their hands wildly. The tone of the host on the radio became higher and higher: "The game has entered a tense state. As long as they can score one more goal, victory is basically guaranteed. We can now see that the striker of the white team has broken through the defense. This is..."
The host spoke faster and faster, and then cheers and screams broke out on the field. Yunli didn't understand football, but he could understand the meaning of the "2-0" on the field.
The live camera zoomed in on the players. The big screen on the court and the LCD screen in the audience quickly switched between the cheering and hugging players, and then shifted to the almost crazy fans in the white zone. The fans captured waved excitedly at the camera.
The host was still explaining passionately. Yunli looked at Fu Shizhe, who was leaning back in his chair boredly, waving his hand slowly twice.
Until the camera stayed on the two of them.
In front of thousands of viewers, Yun Li suddenly stopped shaking the clapper, stopped laughing, and put it down a bit at a loss. Fu Shi also moved, crossed his arms, and looked straight at the camera with a perverse and indifferent look.
The camera was like broken, no signs of transfer.
At this time, the host was explaining to the camera: "It's incredible. Because of the goal, the fans were so excited that they were stunned..."
“…”
Fortunately, this depressing situation did not last long. After the camera moved away, Yunli felt that he had regained his vitality.
Realizing his performance in front of the camera just now, Yunli realized that his attribute of being the emperor of the cold reception had been upgraded again.
For the next few minutes, Yunli just sat there in a daze.
Noticing the sudden silence around him, Fu Shi glanced at her. Yun Li stared at the clapper in her hand with wide eyes, like a wilted eggplant.
Fu Shi turned his gaze back to the court. He moved, leaning his elbows on his knees, leaning forward, holding the clapper in his hand. After a while, as if he had made up his mind after overcoming many obstacles, he suddenly clapped a few times.
Hearing the noise nearby, Yunli looked over with a little surprise.
Fu Shi glanced at her and said, "Isn't this a goal?"
Yun Li was surprised and didn't notice when another goal was scored. She followed Fu Shi Ze and started to shoot wildly, saying, "This team is so awesome." Then she glanced at the seats of the black team and sent a message to Fu Zhengchu with a smile.
[Fu Zhengchu, you should change the team you support.]
Stealing time and drinking wine at the B&B: [Oh my god, I hate it. 】
Yunli returned to his original state, waving his football carefreely along with the fans in the white zone like a child.
Seeing this, Fu Shi rubbed his sleepy eyes and leaned back in his chair.
…
Ten minutes later the game ended with the White Team winning 3-1. Almost all the fans around Yunli huddled together excitedly, cheering for the first championship in recent years.
This kind of atmosphere made Yunli's eyes well up with emotion. Perhaps this was the supreme pride he felt when he won an honor for something he loved so much.
Until his eyes met Fu Shizhe again.
He already looked a little sleepy.
Yunli suddenly woke up and coughed twice to cover up his previous "selflessness".
Fu Shi was sitting outside and stood up first, following the crowd to move out. From Yun Li's side, he looked as slender as a pen, with his hands in his trouser pockets, revealing only his bony wrists.
Since childhood, Yunli has always belonged to the white group in the crowd.
But compared to her, he was sickly white and seductive, with a white coat that was too big, and his body seemed to fall down at the drop of a hat.
etc.
She was thinking, knock him down?
Yun Li dismissed his messy thoughts and kept two steps away from Fu Shi with a guilty conscience.
The people behind her didn't give her any chance and rushed out as soon as the show ended. Yun Li accidentally lost her balance and her forehead hit Fu Shi Ze's shoulder blade.
His thinness made his bones feel like a hard shell under the ground, hammering Yunli so hard that it hurt excruciatingly.
It hurt so much that tears came out.
Seeing Fu Shize looking back at her, Yun Li thought it was because she bumped into him, so she reluctantly apologized.
Yun Li covered her head with her hands, and felt that the people behind her were pushing her desperately. Fu Shi, on the other hand, showed no emotion and rudely reached out to push the person in front back.
"Stand back."
"What are you doing!" the man who was pushed shouted reflexively.
When he met Fu Shizhe's eyes, he instantly lost his temper.
The man in front of him was tall but not burly, and his words did not sound ferocious at all, but for some reason he made the man tremble. The man who was pushing forward pouted and dared only take a step back to show weakness.
Fu Shi lowered his eyes, turned sideways, and motioned Yun Li to walk in front of him.
When Yunli was sitting in his seat, he was so engrossed in watching the game that he did not forget to leave some space to avoid the two of them touching each other.
The aisle was narrow, and as she walked closer to him, even though she deliberately leaned her body to the side, she still couldn't avoid contact with him.
When clothes rub against each other, it feels like flint touching each other.
Yunli lowered his head and pretended not to notice anything.
When Yunli got to the front, Fu Shi kept a step away from her. Compared with the post-match noise around him, Fu Shi was so quiet that he seemed to be non-existent.
Yunli has never liked strangers touching her since she was a child.
Whether in elementary school, middle school, or high school, there were many outgoing boys who would come very close to her, take the headphones she was wearing, pat her on the shoulder when they were excited, or pull her clothes when they called her.
These behaviors frightened her to some extent.
But since he met Fu Shizhe, he has always been polite and consciously avoided physical contact with other people.
From these small details, Yunli could tell that he was a well-educated person, never angry and never overstepping the line.
Except for not talking.
I don't like to laugh either.
When we got outside the gymnasium, Fu Zhengchu was already waiting at the door. He had taken off his black coat, leaving only a school short-sleeved shirt.
Fu Shi asked, "Where are the clothes?"
Fu Zhengchu groaned twice, "Throw it away." He wailed twice, "I will never love you again."
The unhappy mood only lasted for a few minutes before it disappeared. When he was about to go back, several boys of medium build greeted him at the gymnasium entrance.
Fu Zhengchu chatted for a few words and came back: "I haven't seen them for a long time. Let's play football before going back."
Yunli looked at Fu Shizhe: "Are you going?"
Fu Shi admitted without hesitation: "I can't."
"So you usually--" Yun Li felt something was wrong the moment she blurted out, maybe Fu Shize didn't know how to play any ball games, so she immediately changed the subject: "Don't you play ball?"
Fu Zhengchu, who had just been stuffed with a Snickers by Fu Shizhe, answered for him: "My uncle doesn't play football, he plays badminton. I'm an all-rounder, let's play badminton together next time, Sister Lili."
"Ah, okay." Yunli glanced at Fu Shize. He didn't say anything. Fu Zhengchu nudged him with his elbow in dissatisfaction, "Uncle, Sister Lili is asking you a question."
Yunli: “?”
Fu Zhengchu: "Sister Lili asked if you want to play ball together."
Yunli was suddenly embarrassed, but fortunately Fu Shize didn't care and nodded.
The friends at the door were urging him, so Fu Zhengchu just greeted them and left.
Yunli followed Fu Shizhe to the parking lot, and they didn't say a word along the way.
If everything had not happened so naturally, Yun Li would even suspect whether Fu Zhengchu was an assist sent by God.
It’s autumn now, and the wind in Nanwu has turned chilly. A few low-power lights are hung high in the ground parking lot, and human figures and whispers are immersed in the darkness.
Fu Shi opened the passenger door for Yun Li.
"Go in first."
After she got in and closed the door, Fu Shi did not immediately return to the driver's seat, but leaned against the front left of the car. Yun Li saw his shoulders leaning and he fumbled in his pocket for a while.
He lowered his head, and in a flash of light, a grayish-white mist filled the air.
The first cigarette did not bring the end.
The lonely figure seems to be trapped in endless darkness, and the faint firelight is the antidote to the long night.
When Fu Shize came back, he rolled down the car window, and the strong evening breeze carried the smell of tobacco to Yunli's nose. He started the car and drove towards Qilixiangdu based on his memory.
During the journey, Fu Zhengchu sent a voice message, but Fu Shi glanced at it and continued steering.
The car happened to drive to a hidden section, and Fu Shi turned on the headlights and kept his eyes on the road ahead. He whispered, "Help me take a look."
This was the first sentence they said after getting in the car. Fu Shize's voice seemed to be right beside Yunli's ear, and his voice was soft. Yunli felt inexplicably charming. She picked up Fu Shize's phone, unlocked it, and opened WeChat.
I didn't expect he would allow me to use his cell phone.
There were several chat windows on the WeChat homepage. Yunli didn't want to peek, but he could not avoid seeing the first few chat windows. The note on the second one was "Lin Wanyin", and there were more than a hundred unread messages. The most recent message began with "Aze, my mother made some rice dumplings for you, let me get them for you."
Yunli couldn't see what was said next, but she could tell that it was a girl's name.
For some reason, I felt a little uncomfortable.
I clicked on Fu Zhengchu's window and played the voice message. In the quiet car, I could hear Fu Zhengchu's breathing. I guess he was sending this message while he was halfway through playing football.
"It's so late, uncle, remember to send Lili downstairs. Remember," Fu Zhengchu emphasized, "you can't go upstairs."
Yunli blushed and put down the phone.
As the car behind him passed, Fu Shi looked at the rearview mirror and said in a nonchalant tone, "Don't worry about him, he's quite noisy."
"Hmm..." Yunli responded quietly. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "Oh, are Xia Xia and Fu Zhengchu siblings? They seem to have different last names."
"Fu Zhengchu takes my sister's surname."
"Oh, okay."
Not wanting to ask further, Yunli just responded and stopped talking.
The scenery outside the window flowed past like a waterfall. I thought the rest of the journey would be in silence, but Fu Shi took the initiative to speak: "I originally planned to let Xia Congsheng take my sister's surname."
Yunli said slowly, "Oh," and asked, "So it was originally Fu Zhengchu and Dad's last name?"
"No, my brother-in-law is more afraid of my sister."
Yunli asked naturally: "Are you afraid too?"
The air suddenly became quiet again.
Yunli came back to his senses and explained: "I meant are you afraid of your sister, not whether you are afraid of... uh, wife..."
This time it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
……
The journey was not long. Ten minutes later, the car stopped smoothly at the gate of the community. Yunli thanked Fu Shize as usual. As soon as the car door was opened, the heating and the cool wind from the outside collided. Yunli tightened his collar.
"Then I'll go back first. Please drive safely."
"Wait a moment."
Yun Li stopped closing the door and bent down, while Fu Shi leaned sideways and nodded towards the bag of snacks in the back seat.
"Take it back and eat it."
What was different from that night was that the car body quickly compressed into the origin in the darkness, forming a straight line with two red lights remaining at the end.
After returning home, Yunli first put the big bag of snacks in his hand on the coffee table. He took out the biscuits from the canvas bag, and the butter fragrance filled the air.
Thinking of Fu Shizhe’s back as he queued in the evening, the boundary between his outline and the beautiful sunset had become blurred.
Pouring the cookies into a glass jar, Yunli sealed the jar and placed it in the corner of the computer desk.
I turned on my computer and typed the three words "Fu Shi Ze" into the search bar, and soon a webpage popped up with information about him. As expected, there were several pages filled with award notices from his school years, from elementary school to doctoral studies, countless.
The previous drone video was news several years ago. The most recent information was from March last year, which was about his research group publishing a top journal and making an important breakthrough in a certain field.
"The research was completed by Professor Shi Xiangzhe's team, and the first author of the article is Fu Shizhe, a direct doctoral student of our school in 2012..."
Yunli silently recited this in his heart. Today is October 10, 2016. The direct doctoral student has a five-year study period. In principle, there are still eight months left, and Fu Shi will graduate with a doctorate.
For a long time, Yunli thought he had graduated. But now it seems that things are not as she thought. Fu Zhengchu also said at the convenience store today that Fu Shi has been staying in Nanwu.
She slid her hand across the touchpad, and the information on the web page popped up on her retina like a barrage of messages, which were photos of Fu Shi Ze at different times.
Yunli’s mind was clear.
No matter which period he was in, he was not the one he is now - living in the sunshine, but dark and gloomy.
She had some guesses in her mind that something bad might have happened in the past two years. Thinking of this, Yun Lidun felt a tightness in her chest.
By the time Yunli finished her shower, it was already half past twelve. The notification bar on her phone showed a message from 'Touxianbajiu B&B', which contained two pictures.
The first photo she clicked on was a photo of her and Fu Shi Ze on the big screen. The two of them were sitting upright, and the camera just happened to capture her awkwardly placing her hands on her legs, staring blankly ahead. Fu Shi Ze next to her was proudly crossing his arms, his lips tightly clenched, his eyes looking in her direction.
Neither of them had any other expression on their face, and they looked like a couple who had just had a quarrel.
The second picture is a screenshot of the chat between Fu Zhengchu and Fu Shize. Fu Zhengchu asked him: [Uncle, why are you peeking at Sister Lili?]
Fu Shize’s reply came half an hour later, even omitting punctuation marks: [Read it clearly]
Yunli swallowed her saliva. No matter how she interpreted this sentence, it didn't seem right. She touched her face and it was already burning. Fu Zhengchu even sent her a message, questioning: [Sister Lili, look at my uncle! Does he look like a peeping pervert? ! ]
Yunli curled her lips. Fu Zhengchu really had a good personality. After casually sending him an expression, Yunli enlarged the first picture, leaving only them in the entire picture.
This is their first photo together.
I like it very much.
The other message came from He Jiameng, informing her that she had received an offer from EAW.
The wording was very tactful, saying that the technical department had interviewed many people some time ago, so it was a pity that she did not enter the second round of interviews. If she was willing, she could intern in the human resources department without the second interview, and work three days a week. She was required to give a reply as soon as possible.
I didn't expect the results to come out so soon.
Yunli's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and she lay down on the bed with her chin resting on the cat teacher. She sent a WeChat message to Deng Chuqi: [EAW officially sent me an offer! I was assigned to the HR department.]
Deng Chuqi: [Not rushing yet? ]
Yunli: [I’m still a little confused qaq I originally applied for the technical department, but was transferred, and this job doesn’t quite match my major. ]
Deng Chuqi: [Then are you looking for anything else? ]
Yunli: [I was rejected by everyone else...]
From the perspective of personal development, the position provided by EAW is not a good choice, but EAW is indeed a better platform. After all, the owner behind it is Yousheng Technology.
Deng Chuqi teased her: [But EAW has Xia Xia’s uncle, isn’t that great? ]
She added: [Tell me, when you rented a house so close to me, did you have this idea in mind from the beginning? ]
Although she didn't do these things because of Fu Shizhe, Yunli felt as if her secrets had been touched upon and became angry and humiliated.
Put away your phone and prepare for bed.
After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, Yun Li took a long breath, stood up and directly replied to Fang Yuning's text message.
[Okay, I can go to work the day after tomorrow^_^]
-
As soon as he arrived at the company, Yunli ran into He Jiameng who came to help in the human resources department.
She was very outgoing and took Yunli to familiarize herself with the company's environment and introduced the situation of each department to her in detail.
EAW Technology City is a subsidiary of Yousheng Technology, mainly engaged in the customization and retail of VR experience centers and related hardware equipment. The products were developed by Yousheng Technology in the early stage, so the employees here generally refer to the head office of Yousheng Technology as the headquarters.
The department manager of the Human Resources and Administration Department where Yunli works is Fang Yuning, the person who interviewed her at that time. Since EAW has only been established for a few months, there are only six people in the entire department, including Fang Yuning.
"Teacher Xianyun, I didn't expect you to come to our company." He Jiameng looked very happy and asked her mysteriously, "Is it because our boss is so charming that Teacher Xianyun can't refuse him?"
Still the same as always, she talks about handsome guys every other sentence.
Yunli smiled awkwardly. She had just arrived, and being able to see He Jiameng again made her feel much less nervous about her first day at work.
After He Jiameng briefly introduced the main situation of EAW to her, she led her to the workstation and cleared the plastic wrapping paper remaining on the table.
As a new employee, Yunli wanted to be as active as possible, so he took the initiative to ask: "Sister Jiameng, what should I do now?"
He Jiameng pondered for a moment, as if she had encountered a big problem, "Teacher Xianyun, you are actually the first intern we recruited. So, I don't really know."
"Then should I ask the last interviewer for advice?"
"Uh... she's not sure. Maybe she just does odd jobs here and there."
Yunli suddenly felt like he had stepped into another cesspool.
Noticing the change in her expression, He Jiameng tried to comfort her, "Don't worry too much. Do you remember the boss's relative? It's Fu Shizhe. I heard that he was originally going to work in the R&D department of our headquarters, but somehow he came here to work as a worker..."
Realizing that her wording was wrong, she immediately changed her words: "No, equipment maintenance worker."
"The boss arranged for him to work at the experience center, but the machines there are basically all new and generally there won't be any problems. So he usually does odd jobs here and there, which is not a bad thing."
"But I heard that he has a high level of education and should be quite capable." Yun Li unconsciously defended Fu Shi Ze.
"That's true, but it's mainly because he's too difficult to work with." He Jiameng frowned, "He always has a cold face when talking to anyone. Even I can't stand it. Only our boss can tolerate his temper."
When talking about Xu Qingsong, He Jiameng's expression changed 180 degrees, full of admiration, "He also listens to the boss."
"Sister Yuning is still in an interview right now. There shouldn't be anything else to do this morning. You should familiarize yourself with the environment." He Jiameng glanced at the time.
"Okay, then I'll look at the information myself."
"The company doesn't have a cafeteria, so we all order boxed lunches. However, the boxes can only be delivered to the door, and we have to pick them up. Don't say that I didn't think of you when something good happened. It just so happened that I had to queue up to get the boxes of lunch, and each time we go together." He Jiameng stared at Yun Li with a smile, and felt that he had bad intentions no matter how she looked at him.
"How about it, do you have anyone you like?"
Yunli thought for a while before saying, "No."
He Jiameng was more direct: "How about Fu Shizhe?"
