The sofa at home was L-shaped. Yunye sat on the sofa next to Fu Shize, nibbling the strawberries he gave him and stealing a few glances at him.
He seemed calm and indifferent to the outside world, but his dark pupils were cold and sharp. He didn't use any force, he leaned against the sofa and stared in Yunli's direction with his face propped up.
Hey, it’s not bad to be your own brother-in-law.
Yun Ye was still switching between peeking and eating when Fu Shize suddenly asked him: "What are you peeking at?"
“…”
"No." He ate a few strawberries in a hurry. He glanced at her a few times for fear of being beaten by Yunli, and then asked carefully: "Brother, are you from the University of Western Science and Technology?"
"Um."
Fu Shize looked at him thoughtfully: "How do you know?"
"Oh, my sister mentioned it." Yunye found a reason. He was basically sure that Fu Shize was the person Yunli posted on the wall in high school. After thinking about it, he continued, "Brother, don't listen to what I said just now. , My sister has never chased anyone, otherwise according to her character, she would chase him if he went to Mars."
“…”
"Have you been to Western University of Science and Technology?" Fu Shize handed Yunye a strawberry.
"Thank you, brother." Yunye said obediently. Fu Shize looked much gentler than before. He ate the strawberry and thought for a while, "My sister took me there several times."
"Going to visit?" Fu Shize handed over another strawberry.
"No... thank you, brother." Yun Ye took it again, "My sister said she had a friend there and said she was looking for someone, so I read there with her."
Fu Shize did not continue the topic and continued to chat with him about applying to Western University of Science and Technology and his professional direction.
Yunli's game came to an end, and Fu Shi pushed the strawberry plate in Yunye's direction again, "Eat some more."
Seeing that Yun Li was coming over and the two of them no longer had time to be alone, Yun Ye quickly said: "Brother, my sister is a very good person."
"Um."
"She's really nice."
"Um."
"Do you think she's okay?"
“…”
Yunye didn't know how to hide his thoughts. At this moment, he felt that his intentions were too obvious, so he ate a strawberry to hide his embarrassment.
Fu Shi didn't say anything. The two siblings looked somewhat similar, and their expressions when embarrassed were almost the same.
When Yunli took off her glasses, she saw Fu Shize and Yunye sitting on the sofa chatting. His expression looked much gentler and calmer than usual, like a big brother, while Yunye looked like an uncivilized teenager. Confused.
Thinking of what Fu Zhengchu said when he was drunk, only four words crossed Yunli's mind -
No! Can! able! Bar!
Holy shit.
Household thieves are hard to guard against.
"Yunye, didn't you say there is a lot of homework." Yunli grabbed Yunye's wrist and dragged him to the room.
After closing the door, Yun Ye was frightened when he saw Yun Li's expression: "I didn't say anything!! I was always saying nice things to you!"
Yunli said nothing.
Yun Ye was scared: "Really, I swear to God."
Yunli looked at him: "Yunye, do you like women?"
“…”
Yunye understood what she meant and said angrily: "Yunli, you are sick."
When Yunli returned to the living room, Fu Shize was already packing up the equipment. She glanced at the coffee table and saw that the paper was empty. Yunli was stunned for a moment: "Have you eaten strawberries?"
Fu Shi turned off the glasses, put all the stands back into the bag, and then slowly responded: "No."
Yun Li rushed back to Yun Ye's room and whispered: "Did you eat my strawberry?"
"Can't I eat it?" Yun Ye looked confused.
Yunli: "No! I even put one on the table."
Yun Ye: "I don't know which one it is, but that brother handed me a lot."
“…”
Yunli glared at him: "I'm going to be mad at you, so don't eat the rest."
Yunye was speechless: "Every stranger you meet for the first time knows how to let your brother eat strawberries. Yunli, you have been a sister for sixteen years, why don't you have any sense of it?"
Thinking of her loving strawberry, Yunli felt extremely heartbroken. The plan that had been planned all night came to nothing. She originally wanted Fu Shize to bring back a box of strawberries, and there was this heart-shaped one on top.
Ignoring Yun Ye again, she returned to the living room, where Fu Shize had already packed up, put on his shoes and was standing at the door. Not expecting him to leave so soon, Yunli closed the door to the room and didn't react for a while.
"Are you leaving?"
"Um."
Yunye heard Yunli's question in the room, opened the door, and stuck his head out: "Sister, please give brother a try." He tilted his head: "Otherwise it would be rude."
Yunli took the car keys, lifted her shoes, picked up a coat and followed Fu Shize. After the two of them entered the elevator, she pressed the button for the underground floor. Thinking of the charm that was broken by Yun Ye in the living room, Yun Li suddenly felt nervous and pinched her sleeves unconsciously.
The parking space at home was near the elevator. After getting in the car, Yunli fastened her seat belt and lowered the window to get some air.
Fu Shi stood outside the passenger seat and didn't get in the car.
He was holding the car door with one hand. From Yunli's perspective, he could only vaguely see his hunched body, with his pale chin pressed against the car window.
Yunli thought the car door was not unlocked, so she reached over and opened the door for him.
As soon as the door opened, Fu Shize stooped in and stumbled into the seat. Before Yunli's body could be retracted, the smell of tobacco came towards him. The moment it touched him, Yunli leaned back like an electric shock. , holding his breath and not daring to speak.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly and only dared to keep her eyes on the roads on both sides of the parking lot.
Beside him, after a moment, Fu Shize whispered: "I'm sorry."
Sensing that something was not right about his voice, Yunli turned her head and saw Fu Shi frowning, holding his abdomen with his hands in a grasping shape, and arching his body tightly.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yunli was still driving, at a loss, and pulled over as soon as she left the garage.
Fu Shi leaned back on the seat, sweating heavily on his forehead. His body had curled up, the veins on his hands were obvious, and he was clutching his abdomen. His face was already pale, and now it was even more bloodless.
"Are you feeling sick to your stomach?" Yunli went to get her cell phone in a panic, but accidentally dropped it on Fu Shize. "I'll call 120. I, I have a car. I'll take you to the hospital now."
"No need." Fu Shize held her hand that reached over to touch the phone. "You'll get used to it. You'll be fine after a while."
After he finished speaking, he did not let go of Yunli's hand.
Yunli didn't dare to act rashly and held her breath, waiting for Fu Shize's move.
Minutes and seconds are endlessly long.
Slowly, his brows gradually relaxed, and his tense muscles relaxed.
He opened his eyes, his eyes full of fatigue.
Yunli saw this: "Are you feeling better?"
"Um."
"Can I take you to the hospital now?" Yunli asked cautiously.
"Go back to the hotel. I'll take a nap."
Fu Shize didn't say anything more.
After sending him to the hotel, Yunli drove home full of worries, only to find that his hands were trembling. She held her trembling hands and walked to the kitchen worriedly.
Yang Fang and Yun Yongchang have arrived home and are preparing lunch.
Seeing that she was back, Yun Ye came up to her and said, "That brother is quite handsome today."
Yunli's thoughts were all about Fu Shize's stomachache, and he replied absently: "Well, what next."
"He's tall and has a good temperament."
Yunli: "What do you want to say?"
"Yunli, why did you suddenly bring a boy home?" Yunye stared at Yunli provocatively with clear eyes.
“…”
Yunli didn't want to pay attention to him.
Yun Ye came to her side gossiping: "I must have recognized the right person. This brother is the one posted on your wall. And he also told me that he is from the University of Western Science and Technology."
“…”
"When you were washing the strawberries today, that brother kept looking at you. My door was open and he didn't notice me."
"You have been chasing for so many years, and finally you can defend Yunkai?"
Yunli couldn't bear it anymore: "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Ignoring Yun Ye's numerous questions, Yun Li brought the dishes to the table. Yun Yongchang had already sat down and seemed to be in a bad mood. He complained about the driving school first, and then shifted his focus to Yun Ye's studies.
Yunli thought about what Yunye said just now, and responded absently.
"Did you ask Yun Ye to help you take a video today?"
Yunli did not deny it: "Yeah."
Yun Ye quickly kicked her with his foot.
"Your brother has just been assigned to the top class," Yun Yongchang said solemnly: "Just forget about your poor grades and don't harm your brother."
Yang Fang said dissatisfied: "It's rare for Lili to come back, can you say a few words less?"
Yun Yongchang: "I asked you not to go to Nanwu to study for graduate school. You decided first and then played the show. Now that you're back and shooting videos, you have to ask your brother for help. Are you really relying on yourself to support yourself?"
Yunli took two mouthfuls of rice silently.
Yun Ye couldn't help but retort: "Dad, I just fell into the mirror and didn't do anything else, and it didn't delay my study."
Yun Yongchang glared at him: "Shut up too."
"Snapped."
Yunli put down her chopsticks hard.
"I'm full, let's go for a walk."
She got up, picked up her coat and walked out.
Just as Yunli thought, the peaceful time at home is always very short. She began to regret her decision to stay home for a week, and imagining the impasse at the dinner table in the coming days made her feel suffocated and wanted to escape.
He drove the car aimlessly onto the street, and after driving to the city center, he was surrounded by familiar streets and shops. Yunli could even remember the approximate length of time when he was in a daze in front of the traffic light.
Unknowingly, my eyes turned red.
Yun Yongchang always loves his children in the way he thinks is right. He was just complaining about Yunli going to Nanwu to study without permission, but he wanted to further belittle her into being useless, thinking that by putting pressure on her in this way, she would admit her mistake and give in.
Yunli tightened her grip on the steering wheel and realized that she had unknowingly driven near Fu Shize's hotel.
Stopping at an intersection, she sent a message to Fu Shize: "Have you had dinner?"]
Yunli's head was blank and he continued to edit the message: [There is a fish porridge near your place that is very famous and nourishes the stomach. How about we go and eat it together?]
Without waiting for a reply, Yunli guessed his rejection and drove directly to the store to pack a sign.
The phone vibrated.
Wife: [No.]
really.
Driving back to the hotel, Yunli found a seat on the side of the road to listen. She took the fish porridge to the hotel lobby and sat down. She edited several messages back and forth on her phone, but she didn't send them.
Afraid of being rejected again.
Yunli stared at the porridge in her hand and muttered: "What should I do with you?"
After hesitating for a long time, she walked to the front desk and asked the front desk to help send her to Fu Shize's room. After the front desk went upstairs, she sat back on the public sofa in the lobby, holding on to the luck that he would come down to see her.
He's not in now.
The front desk handed the thermal bag back to Yunli, and she carried it back to the car in despair, unable to explain her feelings.
Staring at the thermal bag in my hand, with colorful seafood patterns printed on it, I could feel the temperature coming from inside.
Didn't see him.
Yunli realized that her trip was not because she felt that Fu Shize had not finished his meal and had hurt his stomach. She was hurt, so she wanted to see him and have him by her side.
When she thought about facing Yun Yongchang's face when she went back, Yun Li would rather spend the night in the car.
After scrolling through my phone in the car for a while, Yunye sent a message: [[Red envelope] Don’t be unhappy]
Yunli: [I only accept 200 red envelopes.]
Yun Ye: [[Red Envelope] Don’t be unhappy]
Yunli laughed and opened two red envelopes. Yunye first gave out 52 yuan, with an expression underneath. A kitten opened its eyes and scratched her obediently. The second red envelope was for 200 yuan, and other contents were the same as the first red envelope.
Yun Ye: [? ? ? Be the first to return it to me.]
Yunli: [Oh.]
ten minutes later.
Yun Ye: [You haven’t paid me back yet.]
Yunli: [Oh.]
Yun Ye: […]
The originally bad mood suddenly improved a lot. Yunli opened the photo album, which was filled with photos of her and Yunye, and she flipped through it for a long time.
She went to touch it, and the porridge on the passenger seat was already cold. She thought that she still had Yun Ye, her younger brother who had grown up with her.
What about Fu Shize
She recalled the last time she saw his WeChat interface. Except for more than a hundred messages that Lin Wanyin had not read, almost all other people's messages were from a week ago.
Yunli realized that Fu Shize might have always been alone.
After staying in the car for almost an hour, someone tapped on the window. Yunli was stunned and looked sideways. Fu Shi took a can of beer and tapped on the car window.
Yunli hurriedly rolled down the window: "Why are you here?"
Fu Shi shook the can and said, "Buying something."
He stepped up to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in, carrying the thermal bag on the seat aside. Seeing the three characters 'Fish Porridge Fang' printed prominently on it, he thought for a moment and asked, "For me?"
There were several cans of beer in plastic bags sipping as we walked in.
"Well... It should be cold, so I won't eat it." Yunli said slowly, "But you had a stomachache at noon, and you bought some at night..." She lowered her eyes and glanced at the beer in his plastic bag, "Five cans of beer, There shouldn’t be any need to drink porridge.”
Yunli usually spoke warmly and softly to Fu Shize, but now he was sarcastic and angry.
She didn't know how to lose her temper with Fu Shize, and she didn't know if she had the right, so she simply turned her face away and looked out the window.
"I'm in a bad mood right now. I don't want to chase you, so get out of the car."
As soon as Fu Shize sat down, the person next to him suddenly tried to drive him out of the car. He was startled and glanced at Yunli a few times. She didn't even turn her head away, as if she was sulking.
Not sure if he was frightened by Yunli's harsh tone, Fu Shi consciously put the beer in his hand back into the bag, opened the car door and threw it directly into the trash can next to him, then took the insulated bag and opened it.
Yunli heard the sound of the sealed bag of the thermal bag being torn open, and then he opened the lid and unpacked the plastic spoon. For a moment, she didn't hear any other sounds, and turned around.
By this time Yunli had already controlled her emotions, while Fu Shi was drinking porridge slowly. Seeing that Yunli was willing to talk to him, he gave her a calm look.
