Chapter 28

Everything happened too suddenly.

Suddenly, her newly broken emotions, her indulgent solitude, her short-term courage, and her self-concealed concealment all faded into paleness in the slightest.

From shyness, shock, bewilderment, embarrassment, sadness to unwillingness, Yunli realized that a person could have so many emotions in just one minute.

The gaze that usually made her heart beat faster was now like the deep sea tide washing over the reef, strong and cold.

Yunli took a step back with red eyes: "I'll think about it and decide whether to give up."

She pretended to be calm, but her movements were full of embarrassment.

Without him saying anything, she knew that he had discovered it early.

He found out. He didn't want to continue. Not even an idea of development.

Just find a chance to be alone and tell her.

After putting away the camera, she saw the towel roll. The corrugated bag was stained with water drops, reflecting a silent mockery.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and rolled the towel on the table, controlling the trembling in her voice: "This is for you, I'm leaving first."

At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to look at him.

Maybe she should be bolder, choose fighting instead of giving in, choose bravery instead of cowardice.

Forgive her, today's courage has been exhausted at the moment of admission.

Fu Shi was speechless the whole time, standing where he was, looking down at the VR glasses in his hand, until the sound of the door slamming came back in the dark and cold night.

After a sleepless night, the sound of rain rustled, but it had no hypnotic effect. Fu Shi opened the quilt, stood up, picked up the cup and took a drink of water.

Da da.

He lowered his head, and dark red blood dripped down his palms.

The glass he had used for more than ten years had a corner knocked on it, but he did not throw it away. For more than a year, unless he was drunk, he had consciously avoided the broken places. Just now he was distracted for no apparent reason and forgot about it.

Growing up, when something broke, Fu Shize didn't have the word 'throw' in his dictionary, so he chose to repair it.

To others, it is outrageously nostalgic.

Wrapping his palms with a tissue, Fu Shi pulled a chair to the balcony. Looking out as usual, the horizontal and vertical structures were a common sight for him in the past year and a half.

Fu Shi took out a cigarette and lit it. A little orange-red light swayed in the darkness, and gray smoke filled the breeze, surrounding him.

It was like locking him in a safe circle.

Fu Shi was absorbed in smoking, and when he noticed the chill, he realized that the cigarette case in his hand was empty.

He tilted his head and thought about what happened that night.

I turned on my phone, downloaded an E-site app, entered Xianyun Didajiang, and soon two of the most popular recent updates popped up. One was a picture of the nine-square grid that hit the hot list some time ago, and Fu Shi crossed it one by one. , it was Yunli who was peeking at him.

Your fingertips linger in the comments section.

The first post with the highest number of likes was Yunli’s reply on the night she posted it on the news.

Xianyun Tidajiang: [Wives, please don’t spread rumors! ! Don't taint her innocence! !]

The second post with the most likes is also hers.

Xianyun Tidajiang: [Typo, it’s him! ! !]

No matter who sees it, they will think she is a cute girl.

Another update was a robot repair video that she labeled as manual technology. Fu Shi opened it again and watched it carefully from beginning to end.

The girl seriously explained to the camera the process of repairing the robot, which was incompatible with the little robot moving like an idiot and the "Hahahahahaha" barrage that filled the screen.

He raised the corners of his lips, feeling a little funny but also inexplicably bitter.

When the video was pulled back to 37 seconds, a blue gilded envelope appeared in the corner of the screen.

That was put by Jiang Yuan.

Looking back, it should be when Yunli's college entrance examination ended. During that half-month, he and Jiang Yuan could see Yunli riding a bicycle to Western University of Science and Technology every day and parking it at Nanxi Square on the campus.

Twice in between, a little boy was carried.

It is not difficult to recognize Yunli. Her appearance has not changed much in the past year or two, and she is exactly the same as on the red runway.

She most likely didn't know it. On the day of the robot football match, the two of them secretly went to watch her match.

At that time, the girl was bent over in front of the small football field, concentrating on operating the controller, completely unaware that the two of them were behind her.

When she won, Jiang Yuan attributed it to the small training football he asked him to bring over.

Nanxi Plaza is right next to the college.

During the first half of June, perhaps out of curiosity, he and Jiang Yuan would take a few glances every day. They were also quite curious as to why this little girl, who had just finished her college entrance examination, went to Western University of Science and Technology every day.

It's impossible to find a tree to stay at the University of Western Science and Technology.

The two also made several bets about this.

At that time, Yunli was sitting under an evergreen tree in front of the square, with her hair tied in a ponytail, and she would sit obediently under the tree with two books in her arms all day long. They seemed to see the little girl who had been training the robot on the playground all day.

Until that day, Unique was conducting drone demonstrations at Nanxi Plaza.

He and Jiang Yuan were originally sitting on the railing of the open-air balcony on the second floor. The two were operating the drone upstairs, but they saw Yunli suddenly jump up and run to the Unique tent to queue up to receive souvenirs. He looked around as if looking for people.

When it was her turn to receive the souvenir, the classmates in the tent asked her to show her campus card.

She is not a student of Western University of Science and Technology, so she cannot receive souvenirs according to regulations. She might have tried hard in front of the tent, but the classmate who handed out the souvenirs didn't agree. Then she turned around, walked two steps, started wiping her tears, and returned to the tree.

Jiang Yuan asked him: "She seems to be our little fan. Go and play one for her?"

He pushed Jiang Yuan: "You go."

"you go."

"you go."

"you go."

Later, Jiang Yuan lost the guessing game, so he waved to him and put a Unique souvenir into Yunli's car basket when she wasn't paying attention.

When the two were having dinner in the evening, they found that she had not left yet. Her slender figure was standing by the bicycle, holding the souvenir in her hand.

Jiang Yuan smiled: "She won't think it's someone else's thing, so she won't dare to take it."

The possibility is quite high.

At that time, both of them felt that the little girl was obedient, her appearance and demeanor were childish, and she looked uneasy holding the souvenir.

Jiang Yuan pushed him and said, "Aze, I put the souvenir here. Now it's your turn."

"Okay." He also smiled and pushed Jiang Yuan. He was about to go downstairs to talk to her, but he saw her wrapping the souvenir in a handkerchief as if she had found a treasure, and then put it in the middle of her schoolbag.

Neither of them saw her again.

It was easy to deduce that she had been waiting for 'Unique' to appear for most of the month. It's just that I didn't see the person I wanted to see.

Fu Shize took it for granted that she was looking for Jiang Yuan. After all, he had been sitting in the audience on the playground and had not met Yunli.

He teased Jiang Yuan: "I saw the team uniform on the playground, so I came to see you."

Jiang Yuan: "Come on, you asked me to give it to you."

The two of them didn't take this matter seriously.

Abdominal cramps made Fu Shize remember that he hadn't eaten for a long time. He didn't remember the specific time. When he returned to the room, he remembered the matcha towel roll in the refrigerator and took it out. The water on it had not dried yet.

It can be seen that the manufacturer has carefully sealed several layers of plastic wrap on the outside of the packaging box to avoid water seepage. The pleated ribbon also shows that she tied the blue bow several times.

Take a bite with a spoon.

It tastes sweet and bitter in the mouth.

Thinking of her red eyes tonight.

Eating didn't stop the abdominal cramps, so Fu Shi casually took two pills and swallowed them.

He took a new pack of cigarettes from the drawer and rubbed the lighter twice, but it didn't light up.

He stared at the messy cigarette butts and wine bottles scattered all over the balcony. He lowered his eyes and looked at his thin wrist. The blood on his palm had dried.

forget it.

In the apartment, Yunli opened a package of quick-frozen dumplings and threw a few into the boiling water. Honeycomb-like white foam rolled out, and she stared at them for a long time.

She slowly touched the phone next to her and clicked on the chat history with Fu Shize. She changed the nickname when she was moved.

From that night to this, they never spoke again.

She wanted to ask him when he found out.

She wanted to ask him, but he asked her but rejected her because he didn't want to have any more contact with her.

Fu Zhengchu didn't know that the two of them had broken through the layer of paper, so he even gathered a small group and asked her and Fu Shize if they were going to play badminton.

She originally wanted to wait for Fu Shize to reply first.

But the other party seemed to have the same idea.

After an afternoon, there was no new news in the group. Yunli stared at Fu Zhengchu's two lonely messages and sighed: [I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go.]

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Fu Shize also replied: [I have a cold. Don't go.]

When she saw this message, Yunli wanted to ask him if he really had a cold and if he wanted her to give him medicine.

The tip of my nose felt sore again.

He will definitely refuse. He is such a well-educated person, and he must have wanted to nip her idea in the cradle from the moment he discovered it.

She worked hard, fearfully, and moved forward bravely.

She doesn't want to give up.

In no mood.

She couldn't keep her love for Fu Chize and remain her lifelong friend.

Yunli opened her WeChat friend list and counted them.

This relationship is okay.

This is okay too.

This person should be considered a friend.

She doesn't seem to be that short of friends.

She knew that whenever Fu Shize appeared again, she would fall in love with him again.

She couldn't imagine a relationship with him other than being a lover.

Feeling depressed, Yunli opened the E station and read the fan messages.

Let’s talk to the fans.

Without any warning, Yunli started the live broadcast.

Perhaps because it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, the number of viewers increased rapidly and soon exceeded 10,000.

Yunli set up the camera and said hello to the camera. She didn't look at the barrage and said to herself, "Long time no see."

"Good evening everyone, let's read some fan letters today."

"No, no, no, no Mandarin practice today."

"Read a few letters that praise me first." Yunli glanced at the barrage, "Huh? Why are you still picking? - I don't pick and read. More than nine out of ten letters are praising me."

"Okay, the anchor is going to blow a rainbow fart on himself."

After reading two of them, Yunli felt a little embarrassed, so she closed her mailbox and said, "After reading it, what do you think?"

The barrage was filled with sadness.

"Why hasn't it been updated for so long? - The anchor is still in school and has to review for exams."

The barrage went by very fast, and most of them were asking about the photos taken secretly last time. Yunli wanted to ignore them, but the barrage kept getting more and more, and they even asked Yunli why she ignored them on purpose.

"Who is the guy in the coffee shop? - I'm not familiar with him. Ask yourself."

"Why do you keep peeking at little brother? Why do you call it peeking..." She paused, "I was - watching openly."

"Is my wife going to be someone else's wife? - Someone else can only be the host's wife, remember."

"Xianyu's eyes are red today. Are you in a bad mood? - They are not red, but he is in a good mood."

The barrage suddenly changed direction.

[It does feel redder.]

[Did you have a fight with the guy at the cafe?]

“…”

"When will the younger brother and the younger brother appear? - The younger brother refers to the younger brother in the coffee shop?" Yunli hurriedly led him unnaturally, "Then he probably won't appear again."

"But as for my brother-" Yunli took out her mobile phone and dialed Yunye's number directly.

On the other side, Yunye, who had just arrived home in the evening, saw the notification bar indicating Yunli's live broadcast, so he opened the webpage and happened to see this scene.

“…”

Yun Ye's voice rang on the other side of the phone, and Yun Ye asked knowingly: "What are you doing?" His tone was clear and unique to a young man.

"The families in the live broadcast room want to hear your voice."

“…”

The barrage was very enthusiastic, and the content suddenly became very unified, with large areas of confession to Yun Ye.

[I love my brother! ! ! ! !]

[The anchor is for you, the younger brother is mine! ! !]

[Brother, please show your face, wow, wow, wow!]

Yunli was speechless for a moment: "So, do I have more fans or my brother's fans?"

"Is it any wonder that my account has more female fans?"

The barrage was updated again, and Yunli read it word for word.

"Gender should not be so restrictive."

"I'm a boy, but I also like my younger brother."

“…”

"Let him open a live broadcast room, I'm going to quit."

Immediately afterwards, Yunli turned off the camera without any hesitation.

The call with Yun Ye continued.

Seeing that Yunli had turned off the live broadcast, Yunye did not turn off the webpage. He put the computer aside and kicked the ground with one foot, making the computer chair spin in a circle. One leg rested easily on the other, and the boy leaned back on the chair, "Sister."

Yunli: "What?"

"When will you come home?"

“…”

Thinking of the option of going home, Yunli was silent for a long time: "Thursday."

With the idea of going home, and it coincided with the adjustment of internship time during exam week and winter semester, Yunli and Fang Yuning simply adjusted their working hours for next week and made up for a week's holiday. After informing He Jiameng, he booked a flight back to Xifu on Thursday.

Before she could recover from this emotional injury, Yunli desperately wanted to return to a place full of security.

The university where she studied for her undergraduate degree is not far from home, and this is the first time she has been away from home for so long.

The feeling of homesickness suddenly came up.

Yunli stared at the suitcase in a daze for a while, then sniffed.

The next day, Yunli was woken up by Yunye's phone call. She answered the phone in a daze, and heard Yunye's noisy voice: "Sister! It's too late before you get up!"

Yunli was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

She quickly got up from her bed and stumbled to wash up. In five minutes, he hurriedly completed a series of processes from brushing his teeth to getting dressed.

After grabbing her phone and charger, Yunli pulled the box and went out.

After getting out of the elevator, Yunli looked at the navy blue sky and subconsciously wanted to check the time.

6:16.

very good.

Yunli stood still and dialed Yunye's number. After beep, beep, twice, Yun Ye picked up.

"You are sick, Yunye."

"It's too late for you to tell me this early in the morning."

Yun Ye on the other end of the phone paused for a long time and replied in confusion: "What?" Then he continued, "Sister, get up and pack your things quickly."

"I'll take it—" Yunli felt a hammer hit the cotton and sighed, "Forget it."

"I'll take care of you when I get back."

Yunli returned to the apartment intact.

She opened the chat interface with Fu Shize and stared at the word 'wife' in trance.

Yunli considered the words, typing sentences back and forth and deleting them word by word.

[I’m back to Xifu. Can I bring you some specialties?]

It will definitely be rejected.

[I'm back to Xifu and will come back next week.]

He probably doesn't want to know.

[I will not give up.]

Nightmare.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yunli closed her phone after being rejected, fearing that she would end up like Lin Wanyin if she kept stalking him. It's better to look for opportunities to send some messages that he will reply to.

-

When Yun Li got off the plane, Yun Yongchang was already waiting outside the airport.

The father and daughter consciously did not mention the previous conflict. Yun Yongchang carried her luggage with a straight face and said in a strong voice: "I like to look beautiful and wear so little. If my knees are frozen, I will get rheumatism like your father."

Normally, Yunli would have to have a few words with him, but at this moment, she rarely missed Yun Yongchang's voice in her heart.

Sitting in the car at home, Yunli felt like she was truly home.

Yunli leaned against the window and looked at the buildings passing along the way.

There are fewer people in Xifu than in Nanwu, and there is rarely a lively atmosphere. However, the buildings are newer and row upon row, and the roads are flat and spacious.

The outline of the main building of Xifu University of Science and Technology gradually appeared in front of us.

"Hey, Dad." Yunli sat upright sensitively, "I remember that I didn't pass by Western University of Science and Technology on my way home?"

"The road construction started during the summer vacation." Yun Yongchang drove with one hand and glanced to the right, "It was completed last month."

"It should have been repaired a long time ago." Yun Yongchang said dissatisfied, "Every time I pass by, I go in a big circle, but now it's repaired."

"It's just convenient for your brother to come home from college in the future."
