Chapter 22

Views:

There was a high stool on the edge of the bar, and Yunli spent some effort sitting on it. Looking down, she saw that she had to stand on the footrest, but Fu Shi could easily put her shoes on the floor.

Yunli couldn't hide her thoughts: "Why do you let me sit here?"

Fu Shize didn't look up: "You are the first."

Yunli tried hard to recall the conversation just now, and thought of a terrible possibility: "Are you saying that I was the first person to strike up a conversation with you?"

Fu Shize sounded as if the matter had nothing to do with him and asked, "Isn't it?"

“…”

This was said with neither affirmation nor denial. Not long after Yun Li took herself into the role of 'suitor', every word Fu Shize said had an ulterior motive.

I watched too many people with Deng Chuqi, but because I didn't hide my love and tried my best to convey my feelings, I was rejected outright.

Yunli is afraid that she is one of them.

She took out her phone and pretended to play: "I'm not."

While checking the E station, he declared his motive: "I just came here to order another drink. I will go back when I get the drink."

"Moreover," Yunli struggled further, "If you don't let me sit here, I won't sit here. You want me to sit here."

Just as the wine was served, Fu Shize finished it in one gulp and said casually: "Then help me block it."

Yunli: "Will many people want to chat with you later?"

Fu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Quite a few."

Hearing this, Yunli looked at the empty seat on his right: "You can ask Fu Zhengchu to come and sit on your right. After all, those who come to chat with you are not necessarily women."

“…”

Yunli had heard before that some people came to bars just to seek excitement. Yunli took a closer look and saw that the skin on Fu Shize's face and neck was very thin. In the purple-pink color of the bar, his skin was almost ascetic pale, and his thin lips looked bright.

He is probably the hookup target of many people.

And judging by his state, it seems like he often goes to bars.

"I heard Qiqi say before that some people come to the bar to find someone." Yunli used more obscure words, but based on her hesitant tone, Fu Shize could probably guess what she meant and was waiting for her to say. over.

Yunli asked: "Are you guys too?"

She shouldn't be very direct, right? Yunli carefully observed Fu Shize's expression. He lowered his eyes and played with dice and asked her, "You heard Deng Chuqi's words, so you came here?"

Yunli was stunned and didn't react.

Fu Shize continued to ask her: "Do you want to find a partner?"

“…”

"I didn't." Being led by Fu Shize again, Yunli said angrily, "You can't answer questions with questions."

Fu Shize asked calmly: "Why?"

Yunli explained seriously: "Because as soon as you ask me, I have to concentrate on how to answer your question, and the conversation cannot continue."

Fu Shize hummed, not sure whether he heard it or not.

"Then you haven't answered my question yet." Yunli looked reproachful.

Fu Shize: "..."

"I'm not."

Hearing this answer, Yunli felt much better.

The two got closer, and Yunli smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body. Since entering the house, Fu Shize has only drank a small glass of whiskey. He probably drank a lot before coming here.

Seeing that he was still rolling the dice, Yunli asked him, "What are you playing at?"

Fu Shize: "Start with two, shake them and multiply them."

“…”

Yunli didn't quite understand Xueba's entertainment, so she just sat and stared at him.

After a while, the bartender brought the wine list to Yunli. She didn't want to repeat the choked moment just now. She looked back and forth among the unfamiliar names.

When he still had no idea, Fu Shize took the wine order directly and handed it back to the bartender: "Make her a soft drink."

Unexpectedly, Fu Shize noticed that she didn't want to drink. Yunli thought for a while before saying thank you.

The soft drink was quickly prepared, it was a cup of mixed juice. According to what Yunli said at the beginning, she should go back at this point.

Yunli picked up the wine glass and looked back. She didn't know when two strangers were sitting in the booth. A bucket of beer was ordered on the table. A few people were having fun playing dice. The loser had to drink half a glass of beer.

“…”

She sat back down.

The wine came one after another, like a bottomless pit, and Fu Shi rolled the dice a few times before drinking a drink, without paying attention to her next to him.

Yunli thought this was a bad sign, and she also noticed that at first Fu Shize could roll a dozen dice at most, but now he could only roll six or seven.

"Would you like to drink less?"

"It's okay." I don't know if he was drunk, but Fu Shize talked more than usual, and said frankly: "I'm not in a good mood."

Yunli swallowed her saliva and clinked the cup with his.

"I'll drink with you."

Fu Shi glanced at her, picked up his cup, and touched it lightly with her.

"If you're in a bad mood, why don't you find something to play with for a while?" Afraid that her thoughts would be exposed, Yunli added, "I'll call the others, please wait a moment."

Unexpectedly, Fu Shize agreed.

The other people quickly went downstairs, picked the three mobile phones with the largest screens, and downloaded the two-player game. Deng Chuqi consciously said that he wanted to be in a group with Xia Congsheng, but the grouping of the other four people became a problem.

Yunli thought carefully. She was not familiar with Xu Qingsong, so there was a high probability that she would be assigned to a group with Fu Zhengchu.

While others were downloading the game, she sat next to Fu Shize and lowered her voice: "Qiqi said she wanted to be paired with Xia Xia. Can I not be paired with Fu Zhengchu later?"

You can't let him see that you want to be with him.

Yunli could only apologize to Fu Zhengchu in her heart, and lied forcefully: "Fu Zhengchu seems to like me..."

Fu Shize: "..."

This reason was carefully considered by Yunli. As long as she gave this reason, she could explain why she didn't drink the drink given by Fu Zhengchu, why she didn't want to stay in the booth with Fu Zhengchu but sat with Fu Shize, and why she didn't want to Group with Fu Zhengchu.

But these words sounded strange and outrageous to Fu Shize.

He knew Fu Zhengchu very well and had never thought about it. Moreover, Fu Zhengchu had liked a girl named Sang Zhi since he was a child. He had been in love for several times but still had not come out of it.

Recalling the several times Fu Zhengchu praised Yunli for her beauty, and the last time he jumped on Yunli before he left drunkenly, these actions were indeed easily misunderstood.

Fu Shize was not interested in chatting with Yunli about Fu Zhengchu's gossip, and just wanted to turn around and remind Fu Zhengchu to pay attention to his behavior.

After the software was downloaded, several people moved to the long table. There are more than a dozen two-player mini-games in the software, which require two people to operate the same screen face to face. Most of the games are very simple, such as competing with each other in arithmetic.

Several people sat down. Fu Zhengchu was about to sit across from Yun Li, but was pushed by Fu Shize who walked to the long table.

Fu Shize: "Move."

Fu Zhengchu didn't understand, but he drank too much while playing dice, so now he could only passively accept the information and move aside.

Fu Shi sat opposite Yun Li, his eyes not as sharp and cold as usual, as if covered with a layer of water vapor. He tapped on the screen of his phone and said in a hoarse voice: "Open."

“…”

Yunli opened the game software obediently. The game would split the screen into two, and two people would each operate one half. The first two-player game is arithmetic.

From the beginning of the game, Fu Zhize was in a state of violence. Fu Zhengchu and Xu Qingsong were going back and forth. Yunli had already heard Fu Zhengchu's wow several times.

Yunli began to regret that she and Fu Shize were paired together.

Will he be considered a fool as soon as he starts chasing

Her grades are not particularly good, but they are not bad, and isn't this just arithmetic? Can arithmetic still make such a big difference

Not long after playing, Fu Shi leaned his hand on the long table, supported his face, and clicked on the screen with his other hand.

752+288=

As soon as Yunli entered the answer, the winner was announced on the other side of the screen. She had played dozens of rounds without winning a single round.

The mentality was a bit broken: "You can't give in to me."

Fu Shize was stunned for a moment. He looked careless at first, but now he was attentive. He waited for Yunli to win every game before making any moves.

After winning several games in a row, Yunli felt humiliated and said slowly to the person opposite, "Fu Shize, please give me some dignity."

“…”

After playing almost all the mini-games in it for more than an hour, Fu Zhengchu asked Yunli if a woman had hooked up with Fu Shize just now.

She told the truth.

Fu Zhengchu had drunk too much and curled his lips: "You don't know what you can do. My uncle's money can only be spent on the younger generation." Realizing that this did not include the other two, he added: "You can also spend it on Sister Lili."

Deng Chuqi thought it was funny and asked, "Why can you give me flowers without telling me? Are you discriminating against me?"

Fu Zheng first glanced at Deng Chuqi, then at Yunli, and said seriously: "Sister Lili is so pretty, if she had long hair..." Before he could finish his words, a peanut hit him on the head.

Before he could figure out the direction, he saw Fu Shize holding down Fu Zhengchu's head with one hand and scratching it, and said calmly, "Concentrate."

After saying that, he let the others play by themselves, got up and went out.

Fu Zhengchu was already drunk at the wine table and was sleeping on a chair. Xia Congsheng and Deng Chuqi, both of whom drank well, were chatting about the company.

After waiting for a long time, Fu Shize didn't come back. Yunli got up and sneaked out through a back door on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

In early autumn, the cool wind passes through the streets and alleys, and Nanwu is covered with the faint fragrance of osmanthus.

There were many people on the roadside. Yunli tightened his coat and looked around, but he couldn't see Fu Shize. She crossed her chest and walked forward. At this point, the bars along the way were brightly lit.

We walked to the edge of the bridge and circled around a few times, but found no one. There was not even a streetlight on the other side of the bridge.

After hesitating for a while, Yunli turned around and turned back.

"Yunlili."

After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard Fu Shize's voice. Yunli didn't react. She turned around and saw a little red light under the tree.

Fu Shi came out of the darkness.

Yunli looked at the ground. Although it was not clear, there were already clusters of cigarette butts.

Not knowing when he discovered her, Yunli wondered: "Have you been here all along?"

"Um."

Yunli couldn't believe it: "Why didn't I see you?"

Fu Shi was not wearing a coat, only a thin shirt, but he didn't seem to feel the cold.

He stamped out his cigarette butt and replied, "Are you looking for me?"
