After passing the Western University of Science and Technology, the car drove for another ten minutes and we arrived home.
I went to EAW to visit the store at the end of August, and now I haven’t been home for three months. Yang Fang had tidied her room in advance and it was already spotless.
After entering the house, Yunli threw all her luggage aside, went straight back to the room, and fell heavily on her bed.
The family dog smelled the familiar smell, ran over, and jumped onto Yunli's bed.
Yunli rubbed the dog's head and called out: "Dui Dui."
Duandui is a not-so-fat Shiba Inu. After Yun Ye finished his high school entrance examination, Yun Yongchang asked him if there was anything he wanted, and he said he wanted a dog. Yun Li also happened to love dogs.
Yun Yongchang always disagreed, but one day he brought back a little Shiba Inu.
Yun Yongchang's scolding voice came from outside: "As soon as you get home, you will know what it's like to lie down."
Yang Fang pulled him: "As soon as Ren Lili comes home, you start scolding her. How long have you been on the plane? You can't give her a break."
Yunli let go of the dog, raised her arms and covered her eyes. After being released, Duandui assumed that the reminiscing was over and jumped out of bed.
very noisy.
Since being rejected, Yunli has been suffering from insomnia. She suddenly relaxed and felt sleepy.
When I woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Yunli rubbed her eyes and walked sleepily to the living room.
Glancing at the sofa, the boy was lying on his phone playing with his mobile phone, his chin resting on the pillow, and had no reaction to her appearance.
Yunli: "Want to have midnight snack?"
Yun Ye didn't even raise his head: "Eat."
Yunli was also a little speechless. When she was not at home, every time Yunye called her, she would ask her when she would be home. When she arrived, he acted like it had nothing to do with him.
Walking to the kitchen, Yunli took out two pieces of hand cake from the refrigerator, poured some oil into the pan, and put one piece in. While waiting, she picked up her phone and checked WeChat.
He Jiameng: [Yunli~ Where is your home in Xifu?]
Yunli saw the message and replied directly: [At Xinguang Street. What's wrong?]
He Jiameng: [Isn’t it not far from Xifu University of Science and Technology? The company has arranged for someone to go on a business trip to Xifu University of Science and Technology next week, and the boss asked me to arrange for an assistant to accompany him.]
He Jiameng: [I just remembered that you just came to Xifu. Do you want to consider it? Count attendance! Even if it’s not three days, it counts as three days!]
Yunli thought for a while, Yunye would not be here on the next weekday, and her parents would go to work, so it would be boring to be alone, so she agreed.
[I love you so much! ! ! ! !]
[I found several people, but as soon as they heard about the person in charge, they were unwilling to go.]
[But you shouldn’t hate it!]
[You should like it very much! ! ! !]
[Huge handsome! ! !]
“…”
There is a feeling of being cheated.
Seeing the words "Jushuai", Yunli could already guess who was coming.
Several days have passed since the day I was rejected. Yunli lowered her eyelids and was lost in thought.
The oil in the pot exploded with a "pop", and then she remembered the unfinished food in the pot.
I hurriedly turned the hand cake over, and when I turned it over, I could see that the originally fried side had turned brown.
As expected of the non-stick pan she chose, it browned so evenly.
Yunli poked it with a shovel and said to herself: "I should still be able to feed Yunye."
Yun Ye, who happened to come out to get water: "..."
"Yunli." Yunye said quietly.
Yunli was startled and felt guilty: "This doesn't mean we can't waste food."
Yunye was expressionless.
She had no choice but to relent and said slowly: "This is probably not edible. This is a waste of food due to helplessness. God will understand me."
After making two new dishes, Yunli carried two plates to Yunye's room and kicked the door with her foot, "Yunye, open the door."
Putting Yunye's portion on his desk, Yunli sat on the bedside and ate it: "Someone from the company where I am interning is coming over for a business trip. Let me help."
Yun Ye turned his head: "When?"
"Next Monday to Tuesday." Yunli said vaguely while eating.
"Do you know the man who came here? Do you know where he is going?"
"Just at Western University of Science and Technology—"
Yun Ye called her a few more times: "Why did you stop talking in the middle of what you said?"
Yunli hesitated and reluctantly said, "People who have come here should also know me."
Seeing that her reaction was unusual, Yun Ye suddenly said: "Your partner?"
Yunli shook her head.
"The one you like?"
Yunli shook her head again and pushed Yunye: "Stop guessing, you don't know anything about adults."
He Jiameng quickly sent over the relevant information. A few days ago, Western University of Science and Technology established a new research center and was considering ordering some virtual reality products for research. If it goes through, it will be considered a big order.
The research center was established by the Control College where Fu Shize was, so Xu Qingsong sent him over. He booked a flight on Saturday afternoon, and the lectures were scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday.
He Jiameng sent her a few documents and asked her to print a hundred copies before going to Western University of Science and Technology. The brochure should use better quality coated paper. There is no suitable printing shop near her home.
At noon on Saturday, Yunli changed her clothes, took her car keys and went out.
Yun Yongchang contracted a small driving school and drove a coach car every day when he went out. Yang Fang's company is relatively close to her home, so she usually rides an electric bike when going to work. Now that Yunli was back, they simply left the car at home for her to drive, so that it would be easier for her to go out.
Yunli drove to the printing shop opposite the University of Western Science and Technology. The brochures could only be picked up the next day. When she got back to the car, she remembered what He Jiameng said.
Fu Shize is on the plane this afternoon.
I don’t know what time it will arrive.
I opened a flight booking app and found out that there were five or six flights from Nanwu to Xifu in the afternoon. After being dazed in the car for a while, she directly clicked on the navigation to go to Xifu Airport.
The female navigation voice sounded: "We are heading to Xifu Airport. The total journey is 30 kilometers and the estimated duration is 59 minutes."
Yunli was so excited that she drove there.
She didn't tell Fu Shize about this, after all, she was just trying her luck.
Along the way, I felt uneasy and almost broke the rules several times.
There is only one arrival gate at Xifu Airport, and many people waiting to pick up the plane are waiting at the exit. Afraid of missing Fu Shize, Yunli found a place to stand facing the exit.
Whenever a flight from Nanwu to Hong Kong appears on the screen, Yunli will be very alert to look for that figure.
Fortunately, after waiting for two or three hours, she saw Fu Shize dragging his suitcase out. After not seeing him for a few days, he seemed to have lost weight. His deep eye sockets were full of fatigue, revealing his alienation and being out of tune with the crowd.
When Fu Shize saw her, he paused and then walked up to her.
Yunli pretended to be natural and explained the reasons for the organization: "Sister Jiameng, did you tell me that I will be your assistant during the seminar. I will come to pick you up today."
Fu Shize said "hmm".
"Let's go."
He followed her, pulling his suitcase.
This meeting was not as awkward as Yunli imagined.
Fu Shize was as indifferent as ever, walking beside her without saying a word, until the two of them reached the entrance of the parking lot, he suddenly said: "I didn't tell Assistant He the flight number."
Yunli: "..."
She lied and was discovered by the other party, making Yunli's face feel hot.
Fortunately, Fu Shize had no intention of delving further. After putting away his luggage, he opened the passenger door.
He opened the door but didn't get in the car. He walked directly to the driver's seat and said, "You sit in the passenger seat and I'll drive."
After the two got in the car, Yunli noticed that he had gauze wrapped on his hand.
"what happened to your hand?"
Fu Shi lowered his head and looked at the console, then turned on the air conditioner and said, "It's okay if you wipe it."
He navigated directly to Western University of Science and Technology.
Yunli: "Aren't you going to the hotel?"
Fu Shi's hand on the steering wheel froze.
"Not going."
Yunli wanted to talk to him again, but the car started and entered a long tunnel. The repetitive lights and road sections had a hypnotic effect. When she opened her eyes, the car had stopped.
The car was parked in a secluded corner, and it was dark outside the window.
The air conditioner automatically shuts off after the engine is turned off. The temperature in the car has dropped a lot. It may have been stopped for a while. Yunli turned her head, while Fu Shi was leaning on the driver's seat playing with her mobile phone. The brightness of the screen was turned down very low, and the parking area was very dark. In this environment, she fell asleep for a long time.
"woke up?"
While she was still peeking, Fu Shize suddenly spoke.
His eyes were still on the phone screen, and Yunli had no time to guess how he found her awake. She sat up straight and said, "Are you at Western University of Science and Technology?"
"Um."
Yunli looked at her phone. It had been more than two hours since they left the airport. She blinked, thinking she had read the wrong time: "After arriving at UW, did I sleep next to you for more than an hour? ?Why didn’t you call me?”
Fu Shi glanced at her: "There's a traffic jam on the road."
After speaking, he started the car. After driving out of this corner, you will find the main road two to three hundred meters away. After driving on campus for a few minutes, the car stopped in front of the Control College.
"You can go home directly."
Fu Shi unlocked the safety buckle, took out his luggage from the trunk, and walked straight to the control academy building.
Hearing this, Yunli, who was originally following him, stopped and returned to the car. There was an extra card holder on the driver's seat, and the first card in it was Fu Shize's ID card.
Yunli looked at the ID card. The young man in the photo was smiling wildly at the camera. She hesitated and touched the face on the certificate.
I feel a little perverted, and I feel a little satisfied in my heart.
19940209
He was only a month older than her. Yunli opened the calendar on her phone and found that Fu Shize's birthday was New Year's Eve that year.
He was born in fireworks.
There should also be a life as gorgeous as fireworks.
Without looking at other cards, she found a parking space, parked her car, took the card holder and entered the door in the direction where Fu Shize disappeared just now.
I called Fu Shize several times and sent WeChat messages, but he didn't reply.
Yunli was not familiar with the layout of the building, so she walked along the hall and corridor.
After walking for a while, she discovered that Fu Shize had left a deep mark here.
Whether it is the poster at the entrance or the promotional video played in the lobby of the main building, there is his shadow.
Yunli walked around the first floor a few times, then waited for him at the entrance of the college. It happened that there was a poster of Fu Shize in front of her, and she could pass the time by staring at it.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in Xifu. Yunli only wore a thin coat when she went out. The cool breeze blew through the entrance of the college. She tied all the buttons and walked around with her arms folded to keep warm.
"Classmate, which school are you from?" Yunli paused when someone called him suddenly.
Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw a boy walking towards him. He was wearing glasses and looked gentle.
Yunli didn't answer the question directly: "How do you know I'm from another school?"
The man with glasses chuckled lightly and said, "I have been studying here for eight years. From my freshman year to my fifth year, there is not a single good-looking girl that I don't know." His tone was full of confidence.
“…”
He showed his QR code forcefully in the direction of Yunli: "Classmate, can you leave a WeChat message? We can see you there in the future."
Yunli was a little embarrassed and took a step back: "No, I have a boyfriend." Seeing the boy's unbelieving expression, she pointed to the photo of the model student in the bulletin board and said, "This person."
"Fu Chize?" The bespectacled man looked suspicious.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew each other, and Yunli suddenly felt guilty: "What's wrong?"
She regretted her impulsive words.
"I don't believe it." The man with glasses said bluntly.
“…”
"Besides, he has been out of school for more than a year, so he can find a better reason for refusing."
“…”
Yunli was stunned and didn't realize what he said about Fu Shize's suspension from school.
The sight of the man with glasses made her uncomfortable. She was speechless, turned around and wanted to leave directly, but she happened to see Fu Shize coming down the stairs. She seemed to have seen a savior and trotted over.
The bespectacled man didn't give up and wanted to call Yun Li to stop him again. When he saw the person on the stairs looking at him indifferently, he stopped and muttered in disbelief: "Holy crap, it's actually true."
Fu Shize looked a little dazed, his eyes unfocused. He stood there for a while before turning his attention to Yun Li.
Yunli was wearing the same camel-colored long coat that she had seen when we parted just now, with all the buttons buttoned up at the moment. The slightly curly hair hangs down and is scattered on the shoulders. He wears leggings on his lower body and has two straight and slender legs.
Her hair has grown longer.
Yunli raised her eyes and saw Fu Shize, her eyes blinked brightly, like a little starlight. Her cheeks were flushed by the cold wind, and the tips of her ears were also red from the cold.
"Your card holder was left in the car. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to check into the hotel, so I'm waiting for you here."
Yunli picked up the phone and shook it, "I've called you a few times, but you may not have noticed..."
The cold wind rushed in through the collar, and Fu Shi looked at her and asked, "Have you been waiting here?"
Yunli was a little embarrassed to be stared at, so she rubbed the tips of her ears with her fingers and said, "Well, because I don't know where you are... but it didn't take long, and you came out not too late."
She took out the card holder from her bag and said, "Here you go."
Fu Shi silently took the card holder and put it in his pocket. He picked up his luggage and walked to the roadside.
"It's so late and the weather is still so cold. If you haven't made an appointment -" Yunli followed him until he stopped, then whispered: "How about we have dinner together?"
“…”
Fu Shi looked sideways at her, his broken hair floating in the wind. He was wearing a dark windbreaker and a white shirt. He was very cold and blended in with the blue street lights, as if he had belonged to the night from the beginning.
Yunli waited anxiously.
Fu Shize opened his thin lips and uttered only two words: "No."
"Oh, okay..." After being rejected directly, Yunli felt awkward on the spot: "Then I'll drive you to the hotel. It's not convenient for you to carry your luggage."
"Thank you. No need." He still had a distant tone and took out his mobile phone to hail a taxi.
Yunli stared at him with his eyes downcast, his dark pupils cold and distant, and his whole body revealed a sense of isolation. If she had mistakenly felt the dissolution of indifference before, now she only felt that her existence was completely unnecessary.
Too many rejections.
Not surprising, but overwhelming.
Fu Shize glanced at her and suddenly said: "Stand over. There is a car behind you."
"oh… "
His words interrupted Yunli's thoughts.
Yunli stood next to him. The streetlight light was dim, and she could see the corner of his face that was illuminated by the light from the mobile phone screen, and his expression was dull.
He kept staring at the countdown on the screen waiting for the driver to take the order. Yunli, who was embarrassed by the need, also took out her mobile phone and glanced at his screen. After seeing the address clearly, she took a taxi to the hotel where he was staying.
Fu Shize: "..."
Fu Shize: "You want to follow?"
