"I'm looking for you." Yunli didn't deny it, but said quietly: "You drank too much, I'll take you back."
Fu Shize: "You came here by yourself?"
Yunli nodded and added, "The others drank a little too much and were not able to move easily."
Fu Shize: "I'm smoking now."
He hasn't smoked enough.
After hearing the intention behind his words, Yunli didn't move, "Then when you finish smoking, we can go back?"
Seeing that Fu Shizi ignored him, she searched around and aimed at a place, "Then you go ahead and smoke. I'll wait for you somewhere further away."
After walking over, Yunli played with her cell phone for a while, and Deng Chuqi told her: "Damn, the owner of this bar is so damn handsome. Where have you been?" When you meet him, I guarantee you will forget about Uncle Xia Xia.]
Yunli: [I am very single-minded. I only have old love and no new love.]
To soothe his sorrows with wine and smoke, Fu Shize tried them all tonight. Yunli was also worried at the moment. She didn't get any information from Xia Congsheng before coming out of the bar, and they were not familiar enough to speak frankly.
Speaking of familiarity—did he call her Yun Lili again
Yunli was stunned for a while. Is it because everyone else called her Lili? Then why did he add an extra word "cloud".
Fu Shi walked back into the shadows and took out a cigarette. Just as he took out his lighter, he saw Yunli standing by the bridge from the corner of his eye, tightly wrapped in a light blue coat.
He looked back at the direction she came from. He didn't pay much attention when he came. On both sides were early-built resettlement houses. Low-power lamps were covered with mosquito remains. There were several drunken figures lying in the darkness.
With her sheep-like personality, it is always hard to imagine walking alone in this dark passage.
Putting the cigarette back, he walked to Yun Li and said, "Go back."
It's not clear why Fu Shize changed his mind and went back directly. Yunli thought about it for a while and said, "It seems that drinking sugar water can help you sober up. I just found out that there is a sugar water shop nearby."
In the past, Yun Yongchang would eat something sweet after drinking too much. He said he had an upset stomach after drinking too much. Yunli temporarily searched on her mobile phone and found that there was an old store four hundred meters away.
Fu Shi didn't appreciate it: "No, I didn't drink much."
Not repelled by his rejection, Yunli said, "Actually, it's because I drank some wine myself and can't order takeout when I go back tonight. Can you go with me?"
She turned to the darkness and said, "It's not far away. It only takes a few minutes to walk."
Looking in her direction, the roads on both sides were dark.
Fu Chize: "Give me a look at the map."
Yunli enlarged the map and handed it to him. He only glanced at it and returned the phone.
There were only two of them along the way, with Yunli and Fu Shi keeping some distance apart. I thought he had drunk a lot, but it looked like he was walking very steadily.
Yunli had never been to this place before. The road was full of bumps and corners, and there were hidden corners everywhere. When she looked closely, she saw pairs of men and women hugging and kissing.
It happened that a few unsteady figures wandered into the hiding place. A few of them couldn't speak clearly, and they tried to undo the metal buckles for a long time without success.
Suddenly Fu Shize stopped and turned to look at her: "Walk next to me."
"Oh..." Yunli trotted to his side.
The candy shop is located in the alley opposite the 'Overtime' shop. The shop is small and has six or seven small round tables. There is only one owner in the entire store working in the open back kitchen.
The meals provided are written on the small blackboard.
"See what you want to eat."
Fu Shize had already found a seat to sit down. It was only when the light was clear that Yunli noticed that his eyes were stained with mist. He said, "Coke" without looking at the menu.
“…”
It seems right to say it is sugar water.
Yunli ordered a skewer of glutinous rice dumplings and a cup of mung bean ice, and sat down next to him.
Things arrived quickly and were placed on small plates. Yunli just picked up the glutinous rice cake, paused for a while, and put it in front of Fu Shize.
"Would you like to try this? I'll give you half."
Fu Shize didn't refuse and slid one into his bowl with his chopsticks.
"This drink..."
Yunli drank mung bean ice. It was as thin as boiled water, and brown sugar was added to sweeten it. She couldn't think of any words to describe the weird taste.
On the other side, Fu Shize waited for a while before she continued, then slowly asked: "You want half of it with me too?"
“…”
After struggling internally for a while, Yunli directly put the mung bean paste in front of him and pointed the straw toward him.
The first time she flirted directly with someone, Yunli's expression didn't change, but her heart was racing.
What to do if he finds out.
He didn't find out what to do.
Switching back and forth between the two thoughts, she carefully observed Fu Shize's expression. He didn't seem to notice, and pushed Mung Bean Bing back to Yun Li, "Forget it."
"More?" Yunli didn't eat anything at night and was a little hungry. Seeing a small stall selling dried fried noodles outside the candy shop, he asked Fu Shize to wait while he went to buy one.
When I came back with the fried noodles, I saw two small stray dogs sitting by the door of the shop with their tails wagging, while Fu Shi was sitting on a pillar by the roadside, holding a bowl of fish eggs in his hand and poking them with a skewer.
Every time he poked a new one, the puppy would lie on his lap, and Fu Shi would tease them by shaking them twice before handing over the fish balls.
It's rare to have such a warm feeling in him.
Seeing her coming back, Fu Shi put the bowl on the floor and returned to the store: "Let's finish eating before leaving."
Yunli: "Qiqi just told me that she and Xia Xia are going back first. I can just take them back to eat."
Fu Shi looked at her and said, "I want to eat something."
After the two of them sat down again, Yunli realized that Fu Shize had no other motive for saying this. He poured some flour into his bowl, broke off a pair of new chopsticks, and mixed some braised food she bought by the way.
Fu Shize also looked half awake and half confused, his movements were smooth, but his eyes were not right, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
It can also be understood as gentle as spring water in a river.
Yunli couldn't eat with this look, so she had to move her chair closer to him so that the two of them didn't have to face each other.
He broke off a new pair of chopsticks.
“…”
Yunli realized that this was not her imagination, "Well, you seem to have drunk a little too much, why don't you go back and rest early."
Fu Shi stared at Fengan: "...stay outside for a while."
Yunli: "?"
Fu Shize: "It's difficult to fall asleep."
After that, he didn't say anything else until the meal was over, and ate the dried noodles quietly. Yunli sat on the edge and spoke one sentence after another as best she could, but Fu Shize didn't respond at all.
When Xu Qingsong came to pick them up, they had already finished eating. His family sent a car, and he asked the driver to take Yunli and Fu Zhengchu back.
Fu Shize got into the car by himself, and Xu Qingsong sat next to him and handed him a wet wipe.
"Are you still awake?"
"Um."
"Where to go? Beishan Maple Forest?"
"No, go to Jiangnan Garden."
Xu Qingsong was silent for a while, then joked: "Why do you let other people's girls take care of you, an old drunkard?"
Fu Shi pressed his forehead and asked, "Really?" His head hurt, so he rolled down the window. The cold wind rushed in, and the rumble of driving made him half awake.
He suddenly remembered what Yunli said before leaving.
"If you have something, you want someone to hear it, but you don't want anyone to know it."
"...You can say it into my left ear."
-
After arriving home, Fu Shi turned on the lights in the dark. The huge house was quiet, with only some basic furniture placed and no trace of human life. He took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and pressed it on his forehead, trying to relax his tense nerves.
Glancing at the phone, my parents made a call or two. Fu Shi ignored it, threw it aside, and rinsed his face with cold water to dissipate the drunkenness that had accumulated all night.
He took out a black box from his bag, opened it, took out the drone inside, and placed it on the coffee table.
a long time.
In the empty room, his soft voice sounded, "Happy birthday."
-
The next Monday, Yunli arrived at EAW early.
There was no one in the company yet. Yunli checked in the group chat records after checking in. After confirming that there was nothing to do, she picked up the bread and milk she bought on the way and went to the lounge to have breakfast.
There was no one in the lounge, and there was a stack of flyers scattered on the long table. She picked up one and looked at it. It said that there would be a square market for EAW Technology City's Halloween event tonight.
Yunli lost interest, so she put it back and found a lazy sofa to sit down on.
After scrolling through her phone for a while, the dream she had last night came to mind. It was played slowly frame by frame. Several scenes made her heart beat faster. Finally, it stopped at the candy shop, where he sat without saying a word. .
Like a decadent and fragile porcelain doll.
Not long after, the door to the lounge opened. Yun Li raised her eyes and saw Fu Shize walking in with a cup. He changed his clothes and was no longer in the drunken state last night. His eyes were clear, sharp and cold.
Yunli didn't expect him to come so early: "Good morning."
Fu Shi nodded politely and turned towards the coffee machine.
“…”
"?"
Although Yunli didn't expect much from Fu Shize's response, the two of them being like strangers was not within the scope of her expectations.
Fu Shi took out the coffee beans from the cabinet above, weighed them, and frowned slightly.
When I opened it, I saw that there were not many beans left inside. Pour the few remaining coffee beans into the bean trough, fold the packaging bag into a small ball, and throw it into the trash can.
Seeing his series of actions, Yunli asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Fu Shize: "There are no coffee beans."
Yunli leaned her head over to take a look. It looked like there wasn't much left: "Can it still be charged?"
"Almost enough for a cup."
Seeing Yunli standing still, Fu Shi looked at her: "You want it?"
She seemed like a bully who came to take away the last cup when she saw that there were only a few beans left.
Yunli shook her head: "No."
Suddenly remembering that there was a well-known coffee roastery in the market that he had just seen on the flyer, Yunli handed the flyer to him: "There is a Halloween event in Haitian Commercial Capital tonight, and there will be many stalls. Among them are coffee beans. of."
"Um."
Yunli: "..."
Yunli was more direct: "I also want to buy some coffee beans, but I'm not very good at picking them."
"Can you come with me?"
Fu Shi stared at the extracted coffee liquid and asked, "What time is it tonight?"
Yunli was stunned for a moment: "Eight o'clock."
"Um."
Unable to suppress the curved corners of her lips, Yun Li was afraid of being noticed by Fu Shize, so she hurriedly said: "I'll go to work first."
