As soon as she finished speaking, a man in uniform walked out of the store and called Fu Shi to come over and help. He responded, nodded slightly to the two of them, and turned around to walk inside.
Du Gefei also realized that the two people knew each other, and his face turned green.
Yunli whispered, "Then I'll leave first."
"Oh," Dugfey adjusted his expression and took her arm, "I'm leaving too, come with me."
Yunli resisted a little, but did not break free and walked towards the escalator on his own.
Du Gefei followed beside him and asked casually, "Do you two know each other?"
Yunli: “I guess so.”
"Really?" Du Gefei sighed, his tone a little bit angry, "Then you should have told me earlier, I would definitely not do that kind of thing. You make me so embarrassed."
Yunli turned his head to look at her.
Dugfei still had a smile on his face: "But it's okay, I believe you didn't mean it."
“…”
Yunli had never seen such a shameless person.
It's possible to go to such an extent to put the blame on someone else.
She hadn't recovered from the quarrel with Yun Yongchang yet, and was called over by this stranger to be used as a gun in front of Fu Shi Ze. She straightened her lips, thinking that not getting angry was giving him enough face.
Yunli said slowly: "If I remember correctly, today is the first time we talked to each other."
"Oh, yeah, if we haven't spoken before, how do you remember me?" Dugfey blinked, as if not noticing her emotions, "I'm quite flattered."
Yun Li asked perfunctorily: "What about you?"
Dugfei: "I have a good memory."
Yunli: “That’s it.”
"Come to think of it, you look like a good friend of mine. Every time she sees me fancy something, she will deliberately buy the same thing as me." After laying the groundwork for a long time, Du Gefei finally got to the point and said, "By the way, I didn't see you interested in this handsome guy before. Is it because you heard me ask Mr. Xu for his WeChat ID?"
Yunli was speechless for a moment.
I don't know where to start complaining about this outrageous statement.
Du Gefei took her as her acquiescence and smiled: "But I'm sorry to misunderstand you. I have no interest in this kind of poor--" pause, she found a gentler word: "a maintenance worker with no skills."
Yunli frowned: "What did you say?"
"Didn't you see it just now? His hands were covered in dust, so dirty." Du Gefei said, "I thought he was Mr. Xu's friend and should at least be able to become a store manager. It seems that their relationship is not that good."
“…”
There was a period of time in the early years when Yunli's family was in very poor conditions.
At that time, Yang Fang almost had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Yun Ye, and she had been recuperating at home. It happened that the factory where Yun Yongchang worked closed down, and the family had no income and was struggling. He didn't dare to sit idle when he couldn't find a job, so he later relied on moving bricks at the construction site to support his family.
Every time we get together with relatives, there will always be a few people who rely on their family conditions being slightly better than theirs, and they will mock us and show off their power.
Some of them often say, in the name of sympathy, that Yun Yongchang is uneducated and can only do such work, and the dust on his body has melted into his skin and bones and cannot be washed away.
Yun Li was young at the time, and his personality was not as quiet and shy as it is now. When he heard it, he would not remain silent like Yun Yongchang did. He would feel wronged and angry for his father every time, and would talk back sharply.
Even now, she never has a good look on her face when she sees these relatives.
Therefore, she hated people who thought they were superior to others because they lived a glamorous life.
Du Gefei's words reminded Yunli of how her father was treated. She suppressed her anger and said, "It seems like you are in good condition."
Dugfei: “Not bad.”
Before she could finish, Yun Li continued, "So you asked for Fu Shi Ze's WeChat before. I didn't know much about it. After all, I saw you asked for it from quite a few people that day, and it's impossible for you to remember all of them."
It was obvious that he thought she was a soft persimmon that was easy to bully, and when he was suddenly retorted by her, Dugfei's expression froze.
Yunli couldn't do what she did, smiling at people even when they were hostile, and said expressionlessly: "By the way, you are so good, why didn't he give you WeChat?"
Dugfield: "That's because——"
"Oh, it seems that he has no interest in you at all." Yun Li didn't intend to listen to her and interrupted her directly, "So what is his job and how much he earns every month? What does it have to do with you?"
…
It was not until Yunli returned home that his anger gradually subsided.
She realized belatedly that she seemed to have performed beyond her normal fighting ability just now. This feeling was incredible and a little bit euphoric, which made her mood inexplicably better.
Yunli opened WeChat and found that Yang Fang and Yun Ye were both looking for her.
Yang Fang comforted her, and her words were similar to usual, mainly to persuade them to reconcile. And Yun Ye didn't know where he heard the news from, and he was very well-informed: [You quarreled with your father again? ]
Yunli: [Don’t you have to go to class? ]
Yunye: [Mom asked me to comfort you.]
Yunli couldn't help but tell her: [I just had an argument with someone, and I actually won.]
Yunye: [Oh.]
Yunli: [Don’t you think it’s incredible? ]
Yunye: [I don’t think so.]
Yunli: [? ]
Yunye: [You've never lost an argument with me, and every time you've left me speechless. ]
Yunli: [? ]
Yunye: [You may not have noticed it yourself, but you may be a little tongue-tied when you meet people normally, but when you get angry, your fighting power will be super strong. ]
Yunye: [But it’s also good. ]
Yunye: [Social phobia does not mean cowardice. 】
After the conversation ended, Yunli was still thinking about his words. For the first time in her life, she felt that this brother was still somewhat useful. She stood up and went to the kitchen to get herself an ice cream.
Replaying the "battle" just now, I remembered that Du Gefei said Fu Shi was a maintenance worker.
Even though he knew it wasn't true, Yun Li still felt uncomfortable when he heard others say this about him.
If he is studying for a master's degree, he should have graduated. According to his impressive resume, he should go to a big company or do scientific research.
Maybe it’s because this store is opened by a relative?
Thinking about how familiar they all were when they had dinner last time, Yunli felt that this possibility was more likely.
Yunli sat in front of the computer and browsed E-station for a while. She received many private messages asking for updates, but she pretended not to see them out of guilt.
Since she started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, Yunli has spent all her time in the four-square-meter study room. At that time, a few minutes of time to edit videos was a luxury. Every day she longed for the day when she would be released from the cage, but on the day she was truly reborn, she learned a new way of life.
Lazy, but comfortable.
Just as Yunli was enjoying a bite of ice cream, a video call alert appeared on the screen of his mobile phone. It was the highly recognizable name of Fu Shizhe.
Yunli was startled. The frozen ice cream was poured into his esophagus. His instinctive reaction was that he had made a mistake.
After hesitating for a while, the phone was hung up.
Yunli felt a little annoyed for not answering the call, but also unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could catch her breath for two seconds, the screen showed another incoming video call from Fu Shizhe.
Yunli turned her computer to silent mode. Every vibration and ring of her phone was amplified in her senses, causing the desktop to tremble slightly.
Mustering up all his courage, Yunli switched the video mode to voice mode and answered the call, pretending nothing had happened: "Hello."
There was no response from the other end of the line.
Yunli usually likes quietness, but at this moment, the quietness is like a grenade waiting to explode.
With a click, a noisy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sister Lili, are you in school?" Yunli could barely recognize it was Fu Zhengchu by the name.
Suddenly I felt that my fear just now was all self-inflicted.
Fu Zhengchu: "Today is the school's Hundred Groups Gathering, Sister Lili, do you want to come to our booth and play for a while?"
Yunli rarely received invitations from friends she didn't know well, so she didn't refuse immediately: "Sure." She paused, and then said: "My first reaction when I received the call was that I thought it was your uncle calling."
However, Fu Zhengchu didn't seem to hear clearly, and said in a louder voice, "I have to go to work, please come and support me——"
He hung up the phone in a hurry.
Originally, Yun Li wanted to test whether Fu Shi Ze was there too. After thinking for a while, she felt ashamed of her test. Fu Zhengchu might just be inviting her warmly, but her bad intentions were obvious.
Maybe Fu Zhengchu was not in school either, but Fu Shize just happened to be next to him.
Besides, there was no need for her to think so much.
If Fu Shizhe wasn't here, would she not go to support Fu Zhengchu?
Yunli realized with even greater shame—
She really thought so.
…
Baituanhui is an event where various clubs and organizations in the school conduct concentrated publicity. The leaders of each organization will set up tents on both sides of the school square and arrange them in a long dragon, just like a lively market at noon.
The last time Yunli came into contact with a similar activity was when he first entered university.
It’s just that the interview didn’t go well, so I didn’t join any club organizations during my undergraduate studies.
There was nothing else to do in the afternoon, so Yunli took a bite of the ice cream, picked up his bag and walked out.
The school was not far from the rented house. After Yunli walked to the school gate, he took the minibus to the campus as usual.
While still some distance away from the square, Yunli could hear dense noise and sound of speakers. There were crowds of people at the entrance, and a small stage was set up in the middle of the venue.
After getting off the bus, Yunli moved with the crowd. The people promoting her seemed to mistake her for an undergraduate freshman and stuffed flyers into her hands.
After walking around, I finally found Fu Zhengchu in the corner of the square.
"Sister Lili!" Fu Zhengchu was wearing a college shirt and a cap with the school emblem of Nanjing University of Science and Technology printed on it. He was talking anxiously to the freshmen, but when he saw Yunli, he simply stuffed a flyer into the freshmen's pocket and sent them away.
Noticed the thick stack of flyers in Yunli's hand.
Fu Zhengchu: "These are not good, Sister Lili, just look at our club."
He took the pile of flyers domineeringly and took out a new one for Yunli from the file bag hanging around his neck.
It is an outdoor sports club called "Pan Gao".
Fu Zhengchu pretended to be serious and cleared his throat: "We are the only outdoor club in the school, and we are also the largest. I am the vice president."
In order to highlight his company's competitiveness, Fu Zhengchu said confidently: "And I recently spent a lot of effort to get a sponsorship, it's super rich!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunli found a sentence written below - "Sponsored by EAW Virtual Reality Experience Center".
The detailed address and brief introduction of EAW are also attached at the end. You can get a 20% discount when you shop in the store with this flyer.
Yunli: “…”
The booth of the "Pangao" outdoor sports club was not big, consisting of two 1.5-meter-long tables arranged in an L shape. Several students sat under the tent to guide the freshmen to fill out the application form.
As a sponsor, EAW successfully printed its own logo and pictures of its main projects on the tent of their booth.
The roll-up banner of the booth was unexpectedly some distance away, and there was a flat table in front of it with unopened EAW packaging boxes on the ground.
Yunli stood in front of the stall and noticed the occasional sticking out of the roll-up banner.
It’s Fu Shizhe.
He stood on one leg, his trousers were neat, revealing his tall and straight figure. When the utility knife cut the tape to the bottom, his body moved back, revealing a strong and clear jawline.
The scorching sunlight made his skin look even paler, and his eyes flickered. His facial features, which should be able to speak, were silent and indifferent amid the coming and going of people.
As if he suddenly realized something, Fu Shi raised his eyes and looked in her direction.
Feeling like a peeping Tom, Yunli quickly withdrew his gaze. Fortunately, Fu Zhengchu noticed his presence and interrupted Yunli's guilty conscience with a loud call.
"Uncle!" Fu Zhengchu carried a cardboard box and ran towards Fu Shizhe, panting.
Yunli followed slowly, met Fu Shizhe's gaze, and nodded unnaturally.
Fu Shize did not react too much to her arrival. He glanced at her indifferently and continued to organize the cartons that Fu Zhengchu had moved over.
Some commemorative papers, pens, canvas bags and folders were neatly stacked inside, with the three letters EAW and the address printed on the corners, making them look specially customized.
Fu Zhengchu helped spread the prizes on the table and waved them around: "These are prizes to attract people. We'll give one prize to each person who plays the game. Just let them choose."
They were all fairly standard prizes, but Yunli noticed that there was a half-moon printed on the sky-blue canvas bag, standing alone at the bottom. It was a daytime moon. Yunli looked away, but couldn't help but take a few more glances.
At this moment, Fu Shi was listening to Fu Zhengchu explaining the rules for distributing prizes. He responded incoherently and didn't sound very interested.
Yunli didn't know what she was expecting. She originally thought that there was a one in ten thousand chance that the two of them would agree to let her come over.
Now Fu Shizhe's indifference directly shattered all these wild ideas.
Feeling a little awkward standing there, Yunli had to fiddle with the prizes on the table over and over again.
"Are these prizes pretty good?" Fu Zhengchu suddenly asked her with a smug tone.
"Everything is fine." Yunli was a little embarrassed. Perhaps to make herself less embarrassed, she found some topics to talk about. "It's quite a coincidence. I went to interview EAW this morning."
"That's great, Sister Lili. You will be working in the same company from now on." Fu Zhengchu was extremely happy after hearing this news. He turned around and deliberately said seriously, "Uncle."
"Stop causing trouble for Sister Lili."
I thought Fu Shize would ignore me, but he suddenly said, "Then I'll go back."
Fu Zhengchu: "How can you leave, little uncle!"
Fu Shize: "Don't cause any trouble."
Fu Zhengchu: "I was wrong."
…
Fu Zhengchu quickly changed the subject: "Since Sister Lili and EAW are so compatible, why don't we be the first to experience it? All of our gifts have the EAW logo."
The tone of his question seemed to want a positive answer. Yunli hesitated for a while, "Then I can play with it later..."
Fu Zhengchu: "Which one do you want? I'll ask my uncle to keep it for you!"
Yunli deliberately concealed his desire for the canvas bag and answered with reservation: "They are all good."
"Is that so?" Fu Zhengchu was straightforward and indifferent: "Forget it, Sister Lili, just take a gift. It's okay. They are all bought from EAW anyway."
Before Yunli had the time to refuse, a box of commemorative pens was stuffed into his hand.
Fu Zhengchu still looked like he had done a great thing.
Yunli: “…”
