As the night deepened, the lights inside the car dimmed.
Yunli turned to Fu Shizhe and put his left hand on Fu Shizhe's hand.
For such a long time, she had always known that Fu Shize had something on his mind, but she never thought that this matter would be so torturous and follow him like a shadow.
The campus radio began its evening broadcast, and Yunli realized that they were still inside Western University of Science and Technology - it was hard to imagine how he felt every time he returned to the laboratory building.
When they met again, she thought he had returned to the altar, and she had no idea of all that he had endured behind the scenes.
I never thought about how he could return to school after witnessing such a scene.
Yunli thought of what he had said before: "I want to go back to my old self and find you again." A terrible idea suddenly emerged in her mind, an idea that would make her suffer from endless guilt.
He just looks like he used to be, but his heart is still full of holes.
Yunli's hands loosened, and his tone trembled a little: "You usually pretend, right?"
After she said this, she felt Fu Shize stiffen for a moment.
There was a moment’s silence.
"Yeah." Fu Shizhe: "I think you will like it."
My heart felt like it was suddenly strangled.
He was pretending for her.
Yunli took a deep breath for a few seconds. Fu Shi was about to say something else, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that she had her eyes lowered, tears condensed at the edge of her eye sockets, and fell drop by drop onto the storage area.
She pursed her lips in silence.
Fu Shi paused for a moment, silently scraping away her tears with his knuckles.
Yunli lowered her head, still trying to control the stability of her voice: "I really hope you are doing well." She couldn't continue, her voice choked uncontrollably: "Really, I hope you are doing well."
In this relationship, Yunli was the one who initiated it, but during the process of getting along, from beginning to end, he did almost everything he could.
Even if they broke up, she should be the one who is more sad, not Fu Shizhe.
He was already sad and in pain enough.
"Yeah." Fu Shizhe covered Yunli's face with his right hand, gently rubbing her lower eyelid with his thumb, repeatedly wiping away her newly overflowing tears. His voice was a little hoarse: "Lili, don't cry."
Yunli wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and said incoherently: "I said before that I wanted you to go back to school, but that's not what I meant. I just wanted your life to be better." She cried very miserably: "Don't force yourself to do these things. If you don't want to talk to others, don't talk. Don't force yourself to be so sunny and motivated..."
Don't push yourself for her anymore and make yourself more sad and painful.
"After being together with you again," Fu Shi stroked her head and whispered, "I won't pretend anymore. I really like being with you in this state now."
It had been a long time since he had felt the sun properly.
It turns out he missed it quite a bit.
Staring into his eyes, Yunli wiped the corners of his eyes and asked blankly, "But you still have nightmares and insomnia."
Fu Shi thought about it seriously and said, "It won't happen again if we live together in the future."
Yunli was choked by his words and broke free from her sadness. She thought for a while and said sullenly, "Then you will have to continue in this state for a long time."
Fu Shi smiled: "Then we can only hope that day will come sooner."
In Nanwu, they lived together for a while. After returning to Xifu, the situation changed, and she would face great resistance if she moved out. Yunli said seriously: "This time, let's confirm our relationship before living together."
Fu Shi followed her words: "That's what I meant."
“…”
Which meaning?
Yunli paused and looked at him for confirmation. His face was calm, but his eyes expressed something.
Yes, that's what you meant.
Yunli's face instantly turned red, and he forgot all the conversation and worries just now, and blurted out: "No."
"?"
"This is too informal." Yun Li said aggrievedly.
Fu Shi recalled what he had said and reminded her: "What I just said was that I hope that day will come sooner."
What he meant was that they didn't have to confirm their relationship and live together today.
Yunli suddenly felt that he was being too sentimental, and said awkwardly: "Let's go eat."
Fu Shize didn't finish his words. He remembered that she almost ran away and said "No". He said nonchalantly: "On the official day, you won't have the chance to refuse."
…
After dinner, Fu Shi took Yun Li to the playground. There were spectator seats on the side, and they sat down, looking at the students on the plastic track from afar.
Fu Shi pointed in a direction where many students were exercising: "It was roughly in this direction."
It has been nine years since that year's robot football game.
It turned out that he had seen her nine years ago.
Yunli: "Why were you there on the playground?"
Fu Shizhe: "I was bored and passed by there. I saw your robot was motionless. You must have forgotten to turn it on when you first operated it. You tried for almost half an hour."
"Oh, is that so..." Yunli couldn't believe that he would make such a low-level mistake.
"Then I watched for a while. When it moved for the first time, I must have pressed the wrong button. Chen Luo didn't tell you that the controller was made by himself, and the buttons are different from the regular ones."
Chen Luo was the name of her captain at the time. Yun Li was stunned for a moment: "Do you know him?"
Fu Shi said calmly: "Well, I made that handle for him."
Yunli: “…”
Yun Li was puzzled and asked, "How is that possible?"
Fu Shize: “?”
Yunli: "We actually got a place in the end."
He told her about the whole day, one by one, with many details that Yunli had completely forgotten. He recalled the incident very smoothly, as if he had sorted it out many times beforehand.
"Then you used a robot to push the stone. Your team's robot didn't have the code to kick the ball, so it could only push the stone horizontally. But the motor power of the robot you used was too low, so it couldn't push the stone."
Yun Li was confused and asked, "How do you know the code and power of my robot?"
"Jiang Yuan recognized that your robot was installed by Chen Luo, so I went back and asked him." Fu Shizhe's tone did not change much when he mentioned Jiang Yuan.
"I went to watch your game that day, too."
It felt like he had had an impression of her a long time ago. Yunli curved her lips and smiled, "Were you only 15 years old at the time, and you peeked at me for that long?" She felt that this description was not quite accurate: "No, it was peeking at girls for that long."
"Then I'm looking at you." Fu Shi didn't want to be wronged, so he laughed and said, "But I regret it now."
Yunli: “Ah?”
Fu Shi hooked her hand and said, "I should have gone straight to you at that time."
Yunli directly ruled out this possibility: "Then I won't fall in love too early. I'm a well-known good student in the class."
Fu Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Premature love does not mean being a bad student."
"At that time, I thought that premature love meant being a bad student." Yunli said this slowly.
Seeing her stubborn look, Fu Shi felt like he was talking to a stone. He didn't care and leaned close to her ear and continued, "Then you will be a bad student with me for two years."
"...until you graduate from the college entrance examination, it is no longer puppy love."
Yun Li realized it later, and a ball of heat rose to his cheeks. After a moment, Fu Shi continued to ask: "Then should I make up for the years you missed?"
Those deep eyes held special meanings. Yunli could clearly feel the other person's arm resting between her back and the plastic stool, gradually tightening around her waist.
She licked her lips and asked, "How do I make it up?"
"Support you with some of the things we would have done anyway?" Fu Shi asked her calmly.
Yun Li didn't pretend not to understand, and cooperated by getting closer to him and asked, "Is there any surveillance here?"
Fu Shi laughed: "No."
"Okay." Yunli leaned close to his lips and said, "Then make it up."
…
It was almost nine o'clock when Yunli received Yunye's message and remembered to send him back to school.
Love has caused trouble for many times. She hurriedly said goodbye to Fu Shizhe and went home to bring Yunye to school.
After returning home, she dug out the small football from the pile of junk, with the other person's smiley face drawn on it.
Thinking of Fu Shizhe's pale face when he talked about this matter today, he has been tortured by this matter day and night in the past few years.
Her nose felt sore.
It's obviously not his fault.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Yunli was eager to see Fu Shizhe again. She lay down on the bed and made a video call to Fu Shizhe.
"Lili."
After the call was connected, his voice came directly from the phone. The volume was just right and so tender and numbing.
Yunli quickly looked up at the door, got up, found his headphones and put them on.
Fu Shize was already in the dormitory. He had just finished a shower, with a towel hanging on his hair, a few strands of hair covering his eyes, and beads of water running down his hair.
“…”
Yunli looked down and saw that his upper body was completely naked. The camera only captured his collarbone, but his shoulders, half hidden in the towel, still aroused people's imagination.
Yunli: "I hung up."
Fu Shize, who was originally wiping the water off his body, raised his head and glanced at the camera.
He didn't turn on the headlights, and the bright white light from the desk lamp shone on the corners of his eyes, his moist black eyes were a little confused.
“…”
Fu Shizhe: "No more video chats?"
Yun Li blushed at the sight, and she uttered a few words: "You are not dressed properly."
Fu Shi looked down at himself. The white towel took up most of the picture. His chin and shaking hair could be seen.
Fu Shi laughed in his heart: "Then wait a moment." He imitated her tone and said solemnly: "I'll tidy up my clothes."
He didn't hang up the phone, but stood up, and the phone was knocked down by the towel underneath.
Yunli originally only saw his collarbone, but when he held up the phone, she saw his indifferent face in front of the camera. At this moment, his entire upper body was naked, and he was wearing a pair of loose black pajamas on his lower body.
“…”
Fu Shi slowly turned around, took a white T-shirt from the closet, put it on, sat back in front of the camera, and said while wiping his hair, "It's done."
“…”
Feeling inexplicably unwilling to admit defeat, Yun Li pretended to be calm and said, "Isn't there no bathroom in your dormitory? Are you going to the bathroom on the floor?"
Fu Shi seemed to be thinking about the purpose of her saying this. After a few seconds, he hummed lazily.
Yunli continued, "So you were walking back from the corridor shirtless just now?"
“…”
Yunli frowned and said, "Last time you took me there, the doctoral building was a mixed dormitory, and some people would bring their girlfriends there." She already had dissatisfaction in her words: "Do you think it's okay if they see you?"
"No." Fu Shize paused, as if he felt that this answer was not accurate enough, and added: "I don't have it."
Yunli said "oh" and asked slowly, "So you took off your shirt and video chatted with me after returning to the dormitory?"
“…”
She looked straight at the camera: "And then..." She deliberately dragged out the tone: "You pretended to put it on again?"
Fu Shize answered nothing at this moment. He laughed softly, ignored Yunli, and wiped his hair by himself.
Unexpectedly, she saw through Fu Shize's trick this time. She felt a little light-hearted and said with a smile, "You can't beat me this time."
Fu Shi nodded weakly, paused for a few seconds, and looked up at her.
After wiping his hair, Fu Shi hung the towel on the rack. He placed his phone in front of the pillow, half of his face buried in the pillow, his hair still wet, his eyes looking at the book beside him, like a lazy cat.
Yunli stared at the pupils on the screen and truly felt that they no longer had any reservations towards each other.
After a long while, she said uncontrollably, "I love you."
Fu Shize moved his chin, straightened his upper body a little, and spoke lazily to the camera.
"Love you."
Then he lay down again and looked at the book next to him.
Yunli couldn't help but say again: "I love you."
Fu Shize didn't look at the camera: "How many times do you want to say it?"
Yunli: "How many times can I say it?"
Fu Shi curled his lips: "It's all right." As he said, he responded to what she had just said.
--"Love you."
You can say I love you as many times as you want.
You can tell me as many times as you want.
