Encounter
Shen Hanshi was still in a daze when the elevator suddenly stopped and someone walked in.
Chen Hanshi leaned against the elevator with his head down and did not react. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of slender legs walking towards him.
"Chen Hanshi" As soon as the elevator door opened, Fu Yuansheng saw a person huddled in the corner of the elevator. Even though he lowered his head, only a section of his well-defined chin was exposed, Fu Yuansheng was sure that this person was Chen Hanshi.
When Chen Hanshi heard someone calling his name, he could only slowly raise his head.
"Fu Yuansheng." Although he didn't have much communication with people in the class, he still knew Fu Yuansheng. After all, Fu Yuansheng had earned the title of school hunk since he entered high school, and Chen Hanshi was also regarded as the school hunk by some girls because of his outstanding appearance, but Chen Hanshi was too cold and others didn't dare to tease him.
Two such good-looking people were assigned to the same class. From time to time, people from other classes would secretly come to the class to see what they looked like. Chen Hanshi heard them talking about Fu Yuansheng every day, and it was difficult to ignore it.
In front of outsiders, Chen Hanshi was always aloof. Even in the same class, Chen Hanshi himself had a cold and pale complexion, and his face was always pale. He was shrouded in a cold air, looking aloof and distant. But at this moment, the slightly red eyes revealed his vulnerability.
"Today is my birthday. Do you want to go for a drink?" Fu Yuansheng shifted his gaze away from Chen Hanshi's face. He didn't ask what happened to Chen Hanshi, but just invited him to have a drink.
Chen Hanshi was silent for a while, until the elevator door was about to open, he said, "Let's go."
Fu Yuansheng thought that Shen Hanshi would reject him. After all, he kept his distance from him, or anyone else.
Hearing Chen Hanshi's affirmative answer, Fu Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice was tinged with smile.
The two did not walk far and sat down at the bar next to the hotel.
This was the first time that Shen Hanshi came to the bar. Although Shen Wangjing often went out for social events, he would never bring Shen Hanshi to these places.
Chen Hanshi followed Fu Yuansheng all the way, and even the wine was ordered for him by Fu Yuansheng.
"This wine has a fruity flavor and the alcohol content is not very high. You should like it." Chen Hanshi saw Fu Yuansheng push a glass of light blue wine to him, and his slender fingers were stained with water droplets on the glass.
"Do you come here often?" Chen Hanshi's cold white fingers picked up the glass. The taste was indeed good, not as strong as ordinary wine, but with a hint of sweetness that did not overwhelm the main flavor.
"I come over occasionally when my friends have their birthdays." Fu Yuansheng sat opposite and unscrupulously peeked at Chen Hanshi in the dim light, while Chen Hanshi, who was concentrating on drinking, knew nothing about it.
"Oh, happy birthday to you. Have you eaten the cake?" Chen Hanshi raised his glass towards Fu Yuansheng, wondering in his heart whether he should give him a cake. He didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
"I just cut the cake and made a wish at the hotel." Fu Yuansheng touched his wine glass with Shen Hanshi's, paused for a moment, and said, "Besides, I guess my wish will come true soon."
"Oh." Chen Hanshi didn't ask what wish he had made. His own wish had been shattered today, and now his heart felt like a hole, and he could only numb himself briefly with alcohol.
Chen Hanshi finished two glasses in one breath and was about to drink another when Fu Yuansheng stopped him, "Don't drink anymore. Although this wine has a low alcohol content, it has a strong aftertaste."
Fu Yuansheng was right. Shen Hanshi was already feeling dizzy. He didn't insist on drinking anymore and just sat there on the sofa, motionless.
Fu Yuansheng thought Shen Hanshi wanted to sober up, so he sat quietly by the side and waited.
At this moment, Chen Hanshi's phone suddenly rang. Fu Yuansheng saw Chen Hanshi glance at the incoming call and immediately hung up. Not long after Chen Hanshi hung up, the other side called again, and the ringtone seemed abrupt in the noisy bar.
It was Shen Wangjing's call. Shen Hanshi didn't want to answer it. Without thinking, he muted his phone and put it in his pocket, letting Shen Wangjing keep calling.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hanshi's tears suddenly fell down her innocent cheeks without any warning, and the tears rolled down her smooth skin more and more violently.
During this time, Chen Hanshi didn't make a sound. If Fu Yuansheng hadn't been paying attention to him, he wouldn't have known he was crying. Even when he cried, Chen Hanshi had no expression on his face.
Fu Yuansheng, who was usually calm and composed, was at a loss when he saw Chen Hanshi crying. He immediately stood up and sat next to Chen Hanshi, raising his hand to hug his shoulders.
Seeing that Chen Hanshi did not reject his approach, Fu Yuansheng carefully embraced Chen Hanshi in his arms.
"Baby... cry, it's okay, it will be fine after crying." Fu Yuansheng swallowed the word "baby" that was about to come out of his mouth. He had no experience in coaxing people, so he could only let Chen Hanshi vent, and it would be fine after venting.
Fu Yuansheng felt that Chen Hanshi's tears were like spring water, which could not stop flowing, and soon soaked his clothes on his chest. Fu Yuansheng patted Chen Hanshi gently as if he was taking care of a child, while wiping the tears from his face with his fingers with heartache.
After a while, Chen Hanshi's tears finally stopped, and he felt less sad. He slowly came back to his senses.
Chen Hanshi felt that Fu Yuansheng was still holding him in his arms, and his palms were gently patting his back, like coaxing a baby.
Chen Hanshi sat up from Fu Yuansheng's arms and said unnaturally, "Thank you, I'm fine."
"It's okay. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will definitely help you. I won't tell anyone else." Fu Yuansheng said solemnly to Shen Hanshi.
Chen Hanshi was surprised by Fu Yuansheng's eagerness to help. After all, he and Fu Yuansheng had no connection before today, except that they were in the same class. But it was true that if Fu Yuansheng hadn't been with him today, he wouldn't have let out his anger so quickly. He shook his head, "It's okay, I can handle it myself."
Fu Yuansheng was wearing a white shirt today, so the wet part on his chest was particularly noticeable. Chen Hanshi looked at him embarrassedly and said, "I'll compensate you with a short-sleeved shirt."
Fu Yuansheng said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's just wet. You can wear it again after washing it."
Chen Hanshi didn't know what to say, so he remained silent. He thought Fu Yuansheng was probably being polite, and would probably throw the dirty clothes into the trash when he got home. After all, the Fu family didn't need this little money.
"Where is your home? Let me take you back. The driver is outside." Although Fu Yuansheng really wanted to stay with Shen Hanshi for a while longer, after all, such opportunities were too rare, but it was getting late.
"Yeah." Chen Hanshi did not reject Fu Yuansheng's kindness this time.
When Shen Hanshi arrived home, Shen Wangjing was already waiting on the sofa.
