Chapter 45: Actively coaxing people "The collar is not turned up properly."
After returning from summer break, seeing the freshmen in their green military training uniforms every day, Gu Shiying was struck by the realization that he was no longer a sophomore. However, classes would continue for his junior year, and his schedule was packed. Next summer, he would begin his internship, and he felt an inexplicable pressure to find a job.
Gu Shiying is not the only one who feels this way. Most of the juniors feel this way. However, some people are naturally cheerful, less insensitive, and have an excellent sense of relaxation, such as Zhang Zhi.
The weekend of the first week of school was approaching, and he began to plan how to spend the weekend.
"Hey, Ying'er, I remember you wanted to go to the temple. When I was watching videos yesterday, I found a temple that was dedicated to severing bad karma. It's said to be very effective."
Gu Shiying looked at his excitement and knew that his purpose was definitely not to go to the temple, but for other reasons. Having known him for two years, he knew what he was going to fart just by the way he stuck his butt out.
He remembered that this senior who had just entered his junior year arrived at school early and participated in the activities to welcome freshmen.
Gu Shiying sneered: "Are you so kind? You must be taking your schoolmate out to play."
Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "The one who knows me best is Xiao Yingying. Are you going or not?"
Gu Shiying shook his head decisively: "I'm not going."
Zhang Zhi: "Has that secret crush of yours stopped harassing you?"
Gu Shiying: "He never harassed me. He just bothered me before, but now that bother is gone."
Zhang Zhi didn’t care about all that at all. He was more concerned about taking his schoolmate out to play on the weekend.
Zhang Zhi: "Are you really not going? We can shoot a lot of footage. I'm planning to take a drone to shoot the scenery on the mountain."
Gu Shiying: "Did you buy a drone?"
Zhang Zhi: "I worked for my mom for almost two months during the summer vacation. I didn't get to go anywhere. I used the money from my part-time job to buy a drone."
When Gu Shiying heard that he had a drone, he was a little tempted. There is no boy who would not be attracted by a drone, especially one that can be used to take aerial photos of the scenery, which can be called a blockbuster if the effect is good. However, Zhang Zhi wanted to take girls out to play, and he was not very interested in playing with girls.
He thought about it and refused.
"I want to go to the maple forest, but I don't want to go to the temple."
"Well, that's a shame, you missed out on a few more beautiful girls."
“…”
Just as the get out of class bell rang, Gu Shiying and four other students from dormitory 701 went to the cafeteria together.
These days, we talked most about the things that happened during the summer vacation during meal times. When the students in 701 lined up for meals, it was always very lively and they were completely immersed in the noisy atmosphere of the cafeteria.
They came late today, and the good dishes had all been eaten by the freshmen. The kids in military training got hungry quickly, and they were like locusts passing through a mirror every day.
Gu Shiying looked for a long time but couldn't find what he wanted to eat, and his plate was still empty.
At this moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated.
Gu Shiying couldn't think of what to eat for a while, so he answered his call first.
"how?"
"I see you, there's not much to eat in the cafeteria, do you want to eat outside?"
This was exactly what Gu Shiying wanted, but Zhang Zhi and the others were still there. Anyway, Zhang Zhi had stood him up several times last semester, so it was normal for him to abandon him and go out for dinner occasionally.
Gu Shiying's hands were faster than his brain. He put the plate back where it belonged. "Okay, where are you?"
Fu Huan: "I'm at the stairs. You can see me when you come over."
Gu Shiying looked through the crowd and saw the tall shadow standing at the door.
"Just you? Where's Liang Qi?"
"He has other things to do and won't be with us."
"Wait a moment, I'll talk to Zhang Zhi and the others."
Gu Shiying told Zhang Zhi in front of him that Fu Huan was looking for him.
Zhang Zhi's imagination wasn't that rich yet, so he was a little confused: "Why did he ask you to do that?"
Gu Shiying: "Ask me out for dinner."
Zhang Zhi: "He doesn't eat in the cafeteria?"
Gu Shiying: "He doesn't like to eat."
Zhang Zhi: "Go ahead."
Gu Shiying strode towards Fu Huan from the crowd.
701 Lao Tiao asked Zhang Zhi: "Is Ying'er so close to his roommate?"
Zhang Zhi: "We are all brothers, of course it's good. Although Fu Huan seems cold, he is quite loyal to Ying'er."
701 Third Brother: "That's really brotherly."
701 Old Four: "But I feel like they're a bit clingy with each other. Yesterday morning I saw Gu Shiying eating a croissant with Fu Huan's hand. They looked like a young couple."
Zhang Zhi didn't take it seriously: "Tsk, I even fed Ying'er cake before."
701 Lao Si: "It's different. You look like a straight guy. The atmosphere between them is a bit hard to describe. It's very ambiguous."
Zhang Zhi: “…”
After Gu Shiying and Fu Huan met, they went straight to a newly opened noodle shop at the back door.
There were quite a few people in the store. The two scanned the code, placed their order, and sat down to wait for their meal.
Fu Huan looked a little unhappy when he saw Gu Shiying coming out, so he took a bottle of Coke and put it in front of him.
"What are your plans for the weekend?"
"Zhang Zhi asked me if I wanted to go to the maple forest to shoot footage. He and his schoolmate were going to the temple to burn incense, and they brought a drone with them."
Fu Huan wondered why Zhang Zhi dragged Gu Shiying to play with girls every day, but he chose to focus on another point.
"I have a drone. I bought it a while ago and played with it for a while, but it's now idle. Let's go to the maple forest with you to take some photos."
"real?"
"Of course, should we go with Zhang Zhi and the others or go on our own?"
"We'll go by ourselves." Gu Shiying said without thinking. He had no intentions towards his schoolmate.
The two of them booked their itinerary for tomorrow, but they were probably too focused on each other and didn't notice Yang Shuheng sitting with his classmates.
Yang Shuheng quietly rubbed next to Gu Shiying: "If you two go somewhere secretly without telling me, I'll go too!"
Fu Huan pursed his lips: "..."
Gu Shiying: "Let's go take pictures of the maple forest."
Yang Shuheng opened his phone and started searching: "Then I'll go too. There are films being made here. Ying'er, you're an amazing photographer. Tomorrow you can take videos and photos for me and I'll use them for business."
Gu Shiying: "Okay."
Fu Huan also turned on his phone and sent a message to Liang Qi: Go out with me tomorrow.
Liang Qi: What are you doing?
Fu Huan: Taking photos of Yang Shuheng.
Liang Qi: ???
On Saturday morning, Yang Shuheng was ruthlessly grabbed by Fu Huan.
When Yang Shuheng saw that it was Fu Huan who woke him up with a book, he swallowed the curse he wanted to say. He looked at Gu Shiying's bed, but the other party was still sleeping and had not woken up at all.
In their dormitory, he was always the last one to be woken up.
"Brother Huan, it's not time to go out yet, why did you wake me up?"
"Don't you want Gu Shiying to take your picture today? Now go fix your hair."
"No, is it necessary to do it so early? It's seven o'clock now, aren't we leaving at nine o'clock..."?
Fu Huan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he picked up his phone and was about to go out, leaving Yang Shuheng, who was fully awake, sitting on the bed with a dazed look on his face.
Is Fu Huan sick? Why did you wake him up so early? Why didn’t you call Ying’er?
Guan Yu heard the noise and got up to go to the bathroom. Yang Shuheng got out of bed, grabbed him and complained to him.
"Brother Yu, do you think Brother Huan is crazy? We didn't leave until nine o'clock, but he woke me up at seven and told me to do my hair quickly."
Guan Yu had a study assignment and did not agree to go out with them.
He patted Yang Shuheng's shoulder and said, "Because you are really slow. You always procrastinate and only start to do your hair when you are about to go out. Gu Shiying has a good temper and doesn't say anything about you. Fu Huan probably doesn't want to spoil you. He is actually quite self-disciplined. You have to listen to him when you go out with him."
Yang Shuheng: "Am I that slow?"
Guan Yu chuckled twice: "You should let Fu Huan cure your procrastination."
Today, Gu Shiying was the last one to get up. When he got out of bed to wash up, he saw Yang Shuheng dressed up as if he was about to go on a show, but his delicate face looked a little ugly.
"Didn't you sleep well last night? You got up so early."
Gu Shiying was quite surprised. Yang Shuheng always went to bed late and got up late. It took a long time to wake him up, and he usually went out more than ten minutes later than the scheduled time.
Today I actually packed everything up in advance and was waiting for them.
Yang Shuheng looked at him resentfully and said, "Brother Huan woke me up at seven o'clock, he..."
At this time, Fu Huan came in with a few bags of breakfast, and Yang Shuheng immediately fell silent.
"I've bought breakfast. Have you finished washing up?"
Gu Shiying was afraid that they would wait anxiously, so he said, "No, I'll go now."
Fu Huan knew that he particularly didn't like to trouble others, so he said, "No rush, there's still plenty of time."
Gu Shiying: "Okay."
No matter how slow Yang Shuheng was, he realized Fu Huan's double standards. He was as gentle to him as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, but he was as gentle as water to Ying'er.
Did Fu Huan have a problem with him? Did he do something to offend Fu Huan? Did he wake him up by playing games and staying up late?
Yang Shuheng was puzzled.
On the way to the maple forest, Fu Huan drove, Liang Qi sat in the front seat, and Yang Shuheng pulled Gu Shiying to sit in the back seat.
As soon as he got in the car, he leaned over to whisper in Gu Shiying's ear so that the two people in the front row wouldn't hear.
"Ying'er, do you think Brother Huan has something against me?"
"What's wrong?"
Yang Shuheng told him about being pulled out at seven in the morning.
"Do you think I have offended Brother Huan?"
After listening to this, Gu Shiying knew the crux of the problem.
This is not Yang Shuheng's problem, it's Fu Huan's problem.
Although he didn't say it explicitly yesterday, Fu Huan was looking forward to going to the maple forest with him. Yang Shuheng suddenly jumped out and ruined his plan.
Naturally, he was unhappy that there was a third wheel in his plan.
Gu Shiying said happily, "Maybe he just wanted to leave on time so he woke you up early? He ordered a chicken from the farm on the mountain at noon, and there were so many people there, it wouldn't be good to be late."
After this explanation, Yang Shuheng relaxed: "So that's how it is. Why didn't he just say it directly?"
Gu Shiying guessed that Fu Huan did it on purpose, but he still found an excuse: "Maybe he is more introverted."
Yang Shuheng shook his head: "That's right, he's not as outgoing as me."
You can drive to the mountainside of the maple forest. When you get off the car, Gu Shi meets Fu Huan with a cold face.
He glanced at Yang Shuheng, who was tidying himself up in the mirror, and whispered to Fu Huan, "Come with me to the bathroom."
Fu Huan nodded: "Yeah."
After washing his hands in the bathroom, Fu Huan walked down the stairs ahead of Gu Shiying.
Gu Shiying stopped him from the upper steps, "Fu Huan, wait."
Fu Huan turned around: "Hmm?"
Gu Shiying reached out to his neck, pinching the ends of his collar with her fingertips: "The collar is not turned up properly."
It was his first time doing this and he accidentally touched his collarbone just below his collar.
Fu Huan's muscles were stiff, and he looked at Gu Shiying as if he wanted to eat him: "..."
Gu Shiying retracted his hand, his ears burning, and said, "Don't be hostile to Yang Shuheng."
Fu Huan's mind was completely blank, he just felt his body tingling: "Yeah."

Later, he joined the army and died in the war.

Nan Shuyi is unrestrained and loves freedom. He does things as he pleases and makes headlines every day for various events. It is not an exaggeration to call him a playboy.
In order to make Nan Shuyi behave more calmly, the Nan family forced a marriage partner on him.
The day before his wedding, he grumbled to his friends with disdain: "Tsk, there's no way I'll ever sleep with a man in my life."
On the wedding day, his marriage partner sat in front of him like a young master of the Republic of China. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his smile was very decent without showing his teeth.
He called Nan Shuyi softly, "Sir."
Nan Shuyi paused slightly, straightened his tie which was pulled askew due to impatience, and stood straight.
Jiang Yicen thought, it was so hard to live in an era without war, and he could live in peace and security, so anything was fine, and there was nothing wrong with calling his marriage partner "Sir".
It took him a very long time to come here from the Republic of China.
Many years later, Jiang Yicen felt that his ex-fiancée was wrong and that his life was not too boring.
