Folding Moon

Chapter 33

Views:

A five hundred yuan upgrade is within Yunli's affordability.

After spending a lot of money to spend two more hours with Fu Shize, Yunli felt like her soul had been sucked out.

As she walked out with blood flowing in her heart, Yunli saw Fu Shize standing in the flow of people with an eye-catching temperament, waiting for her.

Yunli realized that it was actually worth it.

After entering the waiting area, the two bought coffee and found a seat near the boarding gate to sit down.

Fu Shi put on the hat of his windbreaker, leaned his waist on the back of the chair, and lowered his head.

It felt like he was sleeping, and Yunli didn't disturb him.

He was playing with his cell phone on his own.

After a few minutes, Yunli turned off the phone screen.

Putting the phone on his lap, he quietly adjusted the angle and peeked at Fu Shize through the reflection.

The person on the screen suddenly looked over.

Yunli's breath froze, she took back her phone and pretended that nothing happened.

Fu Shize said, "If you can see it, I can see it too." His voice was a little hoarse.

Why on earth did she think that Fu Shize would not cause trouble.

Yunli defended: "I want to see if you are sleeping."

"No." The reply was simple.

Fu Shize had no intention of continuing to sleep. Yunli opened the E station and played a few videos for him, and he responded nonchalantly. The two of them got close. Yunli thought of the little surprise she had prepared for him a few days ago, bit her lower lip and asked, "Have you seen that thing I stuffed for you?"

Seeing that Fu Shize had no expression, she had an ominous premonition: "There was just a moon and I stuffed a sticky note."

"What did you write?" Fu Shi was drinking coffee with his eyes downcast. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. Seeing that Yun Li was still silent, he raised his eyes again and said, "Tell me about it."

“…”

Yunli was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet on the spot. She asked, "Did you throw away the brochure?"

Fu Shize: "Throw it away."

"Forget it..." Yunli scrolled through her phone in annoyance and leaned her heels on the ground.

After boarding the plane, Yunli got her wish and sat next to Fu Shize.

The plane encountered continuous turbulence in the airflow, and the flight attendant spoke several times on the radio. Yunli's right ear could not hear the sounds on the radio clearly due to the air pressure.

Yunli saw the dark gray and thick clouds outside the cabin, and the lightning and thunder seemed to fall directly on the plane. The flashes made her close her eyes in shock.

Her first reaction was that she did not buy aviation insurance for this flight.

Yunli was restless, and because she couldn't hear the voice on the radio clearly, she glanced out the window, then hesitantly poked Fu Shize's arm.

Fu Shi moved and pulled up his blindfold.

Yunli: "Did something happen to the plane?"

Fu Shize turned sideways and said a few words. Yunli could only see his lips moving, but could not hear them clearly.

Fu Shize repeated this several times, and seeing Yunli's confused face, he had no choice but to put his ear directly against hers.

Yunli didn't hear the words clearly, but felt the moisture on her ears.

It feels hot from the neck up.

The lights in the cabin dimmed, the seats vibrated, and the roaring sound filled the ears. With all her senses being single, Yunli felt the warm and moist breath hitting her right ear many times.

Thump, thump.

Her heartbeat accelerated to the extreme that it could bear. Yunli couldn't help turning her face away and whispered: "I still can't hear you."

Fu Shize: "..."

She turned away in confusion, and after almost calming down for a long time, she turned around and touched her right ear, which seemed to be no longer so hot.

Sitting upright, Yunli turned around, and Fu Shize had already taken off his blindfold. He was leaning against the cabin, looking out the window boredly, his eyes reflecting the sudden thunder and lightning, unaffected.

Yunli: "Aren't you afraid at all?"

Fu Shi shook his head.

Yunli: "I'm a little scared. Can you talk to me? I won't be scared anymore."

Fu Shize opened the WeChat chat interface with her and typed "You can't hear me."]Send it and show it to her.

The phone is in airplane mode, but there is no signal. An exclamation mark on the interface indicates that the message was not sent successfully.

Yunli: "Then let's chat on the phone."

It was a bit strange for a person to speak. Yunli took Fu Shize's cell phone and entered on the same interface "The plane was shaking so hard, I felt like it was going to fall."]

She looked up and saw that Fu Shize's note to her was 'Yunlili'.

The three words strung together look cute.

Yunli: [My name is Yunli, have you always misremembered my name?]

Fu Shize took the phone: [Yeah.]

But there is no intention to modify the remarks.

Yunli: [Then let’s keep this name, it’s pretty nice too.]

Fu Shize: [Yeah.]

Yunli: [Can we go back together later? I wanted to take a taxi, but it was a bit late and a taxi was a bit expensive.]

After taking the phone, Fu Shize didn't answer immediately.

Yunli stared at him. After a few seconds, he picked up the phone and tapped it a few more times before handing it back to her.

Fu Shize: [Xu Qingsong is here to pick you up and take you back.]

The two passed their phones back and forth dozens of times, maybe out of boredom, but Fu Shize wasn't tired either.

Yunli accidentally clicked the return button. The second chat window on the WeChat main interface was Lin Wanyin whom she had seen before. Just like last time, the window still displayed 99+ unread messages, and the most recent one could be seen. Message: [I will come find you next month.]

When the plane landed, Xu Qingsong was already in the parking lot. He was wearing a sky blue shirt. When he saw them, he smiled casually, still looking like a handsome young man, and slowly opened the car door for Yunli.

As soon as he got on the bus, Xu Qingsong said: "How does it feel like this trip?"

Seeing that Fu Shize didn't speak, his tone rose: "What?"

Fu Shize sounded sleepy when he said: "It's not bad."

Seeing that he was very sleepy, Xu Qingsong didn't ask any more questions and sent Yunli back to Qili Xiangdu first.

The car door closed, and Yunli looked at the thin person sitting inside.

The few days of close contact came to an abrupt end.

After returning to Nanwu, Yunli and Fu Shize didn't have many opportunities to meet at work during their internship. The human resources department almost took over all the trivial chores in the company. Except for visiting Fu Shize during the daily tea break, Yunli Most of the energy is put into work.

Getting along with Fu Chize gradually returned to daily life.

Yunli: [Do you want to have dinner together tonight?]

Fu Shize: [No.]

or it could be-

Yunli: [I brought you a small cake, take it to you now.]

Fu Shize: [No.]

Or is it-

Yunli: [Shall we go to Xiaozhu to buy a cup of coffee together?]

Fu Shize: [No.]

Every time he refused, it was always two words "no", and Yunli even suspected that he was replying automatically.

For this reason, Yunli changed the question: [Should we have dinner separately?]

Fu Shize: [Yeah.]

"..."

Yunli didn't pay attention to Fu Shize's various explicit and implicit rejections, and inviting him seemed to have become a daily habit.

He knocked on Fu Shize's office door many times, and Fu Shize found it difficult to answer the door. Finally, when Yunli went to deliver coffee one time, Fu Shi opened the door and let her in. For the first time, he said, "From now on, you can just come in without knocking."

On Saturday morning, Deng Chuqi sent a message: [Can I go to your house to play today?]

Deng Chuqi: [Xia Xia is home.]

Yunli replied directly: [Okay, you can just come directly.]

When it was almost time for dinner, Yunli set the time, and Deng Chuqi made two bowls of wonton noodles as soon as he arrived.

"Lili is so nice, why don't you just marry me." Deng Chuqi washed her hands before entering, and then went directly to the dining table to sit down.

Yunli pretended to be indifferent: "My heart belongs to you, please find another beautiful woman."

"Cruel woman." Deng Chuqi pouted.

The two chatted for a long time, focusing on Yunli's pursuit of Fu Chize. Unable to hide it, Yunli simply confessed what had been rejected before.

Like being put on the gallows, Yunli described the entire process of that day.

Deng Chuqi's expression remained blank for several seconds before shouting "Holy shit". Her face was full of shock: "Lili, is this equivalent to you admitting that you like him in front of him?"

Yunli nodded.

Deng Chuqi: "He rejected you?"

Yunli nodded again.

"Damn it, he actually rejected you? He can't really be gay as Fu Zhengchu said!" Deng Chuqi was filled with indignation. Seeing Yun Li's dissatisfaction, he controlled his emotions and continued: "I never thought of you before How can you be so bold?”

Yunli didn't think she was praising herself: "You are indeed brave."

Deng Chuqi ate a few mouthfuls of noodles in silence, and then said with some embarrassment: "Lili, actually Xia Xia told me something about her brother-in-law."

Yunli was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"It's just...it seems like something bad happened to him in college, and then he dropped out of school."

Yunli said: "He dropped out of school, not dropped out. I know about it, but I don't know the reason."

"From what Xia Xia said, Fu Shize's personality was not like this before, but he has deteriorated since then. His current job is still a temporary one arranged by his parents."

Yunli nodded and smiled sheepishly: "This kind of idle and rich job is quite enviable."

Deng Chuqi "tsk" in disgust. Seeing that Yunli was not affected, she sincerely persuaded him: "I don't know how long he will continue in this state. Lili, let's not suffer so much when we fall in love for the first time."

Yunli retorted: "It doesn't mean I'm not in love yet."

Knowing that Deng Chuqi was thinking about her, Yunli explained sincerely: "It's okay. I can feel from many details that he is a very good person."

Seeing that Yun Li was untouchable, Deng Chuqi found it funny: "At first I advised you to take the initiative, but you ignored me. Now I advise you to give up, and you ignore me."

Yunli complained: "This shows that you don't know how to observe words and emotions."

Deng Chuqi knew that Yunli was stubborn, so he didn't try to persuade her any more. After chatting with her for a while, he suddenly mentioned the matter of changing jobs: "I plan to resign."

Deng Chuqi's face was full of displeasure: "The leader of the company is a bit stupid. He flirted with me in the office even though he had a wife and kids, which made me sick. I scolded him a few words and started to get in the way at work. Xia Xia said that her boss would take care of me. I was transferred there, but I went straight to flip that old pervert’s desk that day. Let’s see, my dad asked me to go back to Xifu to find a job, and I’m considering applying for a master’s degree abroad.”

Yunli didn't expect it to be such a serious matter, so she squeezed her palm and comforted her, "Are you okay?"

Deng Chuqi shook his head and continued to chat with her about work matters. After sending her away, Yunli thought carefully about what she said.

Yunli has been in EAW for a while, but Xu Qingsong's personal style is relatively loose and casual, and the entire atmosphere of EAW is also relaxed and free. She basically does odd jobs in the personnel department.

In fact, Yunli still doesn't know what the real society is like.

Before going home, Yunli asked Tang Lin, who was in the same dormitory, to pick up the winter semester teaching materials. Tang Lin and Yun Li rarely lived on campus. They only communicated a few times on WeChat, mostly about paying utility bills and helping to pick up express delivery.

After fetching the textbooks for her, Tang Lin put them directly in her laboratory and asked Yunli to pick them up when she had time.

Yunli didn't bring any books to class in the first two weeks, and she basically couldn't understand anything. After work on Friday, she worked on her homework until 10:30. Facing a bunch of formulas that she couldn't understand at all, Yunli felt strongly that she couldn't understand any more. After continuing to fool around like this, he notified Tang Lin that he was going to pick up the book and planned to go out.

Before winter, it rained for a week in Nanwu. The night air was damp and bitingly cold. Yunli carried an empty schoolbag and wore a thick woolen coat. After going out, the cold wind blew and her cheeks felt cold, so she went upstairs and added a cashmere scarf.

The road from Qili Xiangdu to Nanli University of Science and Technology is brightly lit, and the warm lights break through the diffuse mist, bringing brightness.

It was past eleven o'clock, and there were only a handful of people passing by near the laboratory building. There were no security guards even in the lobby on the first floor, and there were only cold white lights in the empty lobby.

The elevator stopped quietly on the first floor. Yunli walked in and pressed the button for the third floor.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yunli took out her phone and planned to take a look.

Clang—

Yunli: "..."

During class, she heard from other students that the elevator in Building E of the college would break down from time to time. Yunli came rarely and didn't take these things to heart.

Needing contact with people again for no reason, Yunli sighed and pressed the alarm bell in the elevator.

Then she anxiously searched for "What to do if you are trapped in an elevator" on her mobile phone. She also saw many elevator accidents in related searches.

Ten minutes passed before Yunli realized that no one had called her after ringing the alarm bell.

Yunli lowered his head and clicked on the dialog box with Fu Shize: [A man in City B was trapped in the elevator. While waiting for rescue, the elevator suddenly surged to the top and died on the spot.]

Yunli: [A resident in City C was trapped in an elevator. During the rescue process, he accidentally fell into the elevator shaft and died.]

After sending the two messages without beginning or end, Fu Shize only replied with three words: "What's going on?"

Yunli: [I'm trapped in the elevator qaq.]

Fu Chize: [Ring the alarm bell]

Yunli: [I just pressed the button, but no one came.]

Fu Shize: [The elevator has a sign with an emergency contact number]

Yunli looked up, looked for it, and dialed it out.

No one answered.

Yunli dialed a few more times and got the same result.

Yunli: [No one answered.]

Fu Shize: [Where are you?]

Yunli didn't think much and sent him the location directly: [Elevator on the first floor of Building E, Control College of Nanjing University of Technology.]

After waiting for a few minutes, but not waiting for Fu Shize's reply, she began to worry late on, not knowing when she would be able to wait for someone.

Yunli rang the alarm bell again and continued to call the emergency contact number.

After struggling in vain several times, I was still hesitating whether to call the police.

I switched back to WeChat and found a new message from Fu Shize: [I’m going over now.]

After knowing that Fu Shize would come over, Yunli's anxiety suddenly eased a lot. She put away her phone and leaned in the corner of the elevator to wait quietly.

At this moment, it doesn't feel like being trapped in an elevator, but more like making an appointment to have dinner with someone.

However, she was the one who arrived early.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

The intercom in the elevator finally rang: "Is anyone there?"

Yunli quickly agreed: "Yes, I was locked in the elevator."

"Don't be nervous and try not to move. We have sent maintenance personnel there."

Yunli: "Okay."

When the elevator door opened again, maintenance personnel and guards on duty were outside. The guard on duty kept apologizing to Yunli, explaining that he had gone to the toilet and did not hear the elevator alarm bell, and hoped that Yunli would not report it to the leader.

Yunli had never planned this, but he was trapped for half an hour before someone came. This was indeed the other party's dereliction of duty. He said, "It doesn't matter. Just don't do this next time."

Passing by the guard uncle, Yunli saw Fu Shize standing behind him, as if he had rushed over in a hurry, his hair was messy in the wind, his windbreaker was unzipped, and he was leaning against the wall behind him.

Yunli walked over with some guilt.

She actually didn't expect Fu Shize to come, and when she realized she was trapped in the elevator, she didn't think there would be any danger. After understanding the structure and operating principles of the elevator, she felt that the probability of an accident was smaller than that of a car accident.

She sent a message to Fu Shize just to share her latest news with him.

Yunli said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry...I have to bother you to come over so late."

Fu Shize glanced at her: "I came here on my own."

You didn't ask for it, I decided to come here on my own.

“…”

As if he was afraid of being robbed of his credit.

Yunli: "Anyway, thank you for coming here tonight." Suddenly remembering the purpose of coming here, she said again: "I'm going to the third floor to get a book. Can you go with me?"

Fu Shize didn't say anything and walked directly to the stairs. Yunli quickly walked to the front to lead the way.

The lights in the stairwell and corridor were turned off. The elevator had just stopped on the second floor, and it was just one more floor away.

When they arrived at Tang Lin's laboratory, Yunli took the door card they had hidden from the fire hydrant according to her instructions. After opening it, she found the second cabinet on the right and took some new books on the top floor. come out. He took a photo and sent it to Tang Lin: [I took it.]

Tang Lin replied: [ok.]

Yunli put all the books into her schoolbag.

Fu Shize was waiting at the door. When Yunli came out of the office, she also turned off the lights in the office. The whole floor fell into darkness again.

The silence was amplified in the darkness. After the sound of the electric current disappeared, only the rustling of the two people's footsteps could be heard.

After realizing that the two of them were alone together, Yunli's breathing became irregular again.

It's like a whim, but also like it's been longed for.

She really wanted to get closer to the heat source next to her.

This desire to be close is even worse than the attachment to the quilt after getting up in the winter morning.

Yunli walked beside Fu Shize, getting closer little by little.

Little by little.

Courage is constantly ignited and extinguished.

Until it touched Fu Shize's sleeve corner.

Feeling the person next to him stagnate, Yunli hurriedly explained: "It's too dark here, I can't see the road clearly, and I have to go down the stairs soon."

"Um."

Fu Shize didn't say anything more, and Yunli didn't take the initiative to stay away.

The lights in the lobby on the first floor were still on. When she saw a light in front of her, Yunli, who couldn't see the light, quickly moved a step to the side, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Fu Shize in order to hide it.

Yunli: "Is your car parked in front of the school?"

Fu Shize: "Yeah."

Yunli: "Then I'll take you to the car."

When she got outside, Yunli looked at Fu Chize again and realized that he looked really cold. The windbreaker was unbuttoned, and the cool breeze was pouring in, leaving nothing to block her slender neck.

"Wait a moment." Yunli called to him.

Fu Shize stopped.

Yunli took off her scarf: "This is for you."

Seeing that Fu Shize didn't respond, she took a step closer, stood on tiptoes, stretched out her hand and wrapped the scarf around Fu Shize's neck.

Fu Shi didn't move his body, frowned and said, "No need."

"You came out to the cold because of me. If you don't accept it, I will have trouble with my conscience. And I wear a lot more clothes than you." Yunli said with a serious face: "If you refuse me again, take off my coat."

After a pause, he continued: "Put it on you too."

Fu Shi didn't say anything and buttoned up two buttons of his coat casually.

The two of them were walking on the campus road and suddenly felt that this scene was very strange. Yunli cautiously asked, "Why are you here?"

Fu Shize turned his head and glanced at her: "You sent me a distress message."

Yunli realized that she was talking about the news about the elevator accident that she had posted. She said awkwardly: "That's not asking for help. I'm trapped. I came to you for comfort. I didn't ask you to come here specially." Meaning. Besides, the guards came over in the end."

Fu Shize: "..."

Fu Shize: "I went to the main building to find it."

What this means is that if he doesn't come, the security guard won't come either. Then she had to be locked up inside, so it was indeed Fu Shize who came to help her.

If he continued to speak, there was a sense of repaying kindness with revenge. Yunli looked at him and said, "To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to a supper."

Fu Shize glanced at her: "No, it's cold outside."

Yunli then asked: "How about going to an air-conditioned store?"

"Too boring."

Yunli refused to give up: "Then why don't you buy it, pack it up and take it back?"

Fu Shize: "It's hard to deal with."

Yunli continued to fight: "How about I go clean it up for you?"

Fu Shize glanced at her but said nothing.

Walking near the car, Fu Shi opened the passenger door and asked her, "Go to bed or Qili Xiangdu?"

Yunli got into the passenger seat and said, "Qili Xiangdu."

After Fu Shize got in the car, Yunli leaned over, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You want to take me back?"

Fu Shize: "..."

Fu Shize: "What?"

"Nothing." Yunli leaned back in his chair.

Yunli: "That's great."

After sending Yunli to Qili Xiangdu, on the way back to Beishan Fenglin, Fu Shi's cell phone rang twice. Fu Shi unlocked it and looked at it while waiting for the traffic light. It was Yunli's message.

[you're home?]

He replied unconsciously: [Not yet]

The car was driving slowly on the road, and Fu Shi recalled the scene just now. She blushed and tied a scarf on him, and her fingers seemed to rub his face.

Almost ran a red light.

Fu Shize parked the car on the side of the road uneasily, and the scarf hung softly around his neck. He stretched out his hand and touched it. It felt furry and he could smell a faint fragrance of flowers and fruits.

He opened his wallet and took out the paper moon that Yunli had given him when he was in Xifu from the card holder.

-Seeing you is like seeing the moon.

He stroked it with his fingertips, and after an instant warmth surged out of his chest, the residual heat didn't last long, leaving only an emptiness that was hard to fill.

He opened Station E, and before he could type any words, the history record in the search bar prompted Xianyun Didajiang.

Rolling down the window, Fu Shi lit a cigarette and turned to Yunli's earliest posts, which she posted in 2012. At that time, she had just entered college. She had a childish smile with a hint of nervousness and spoke slowly. He swallowed hard, occasionally looking down at the lines.

The last leaves of the dead trees are falling, and the early winter wind is whistling.

He made several phone calls at home, but Fu Shize responded hastily and simply said that he had returned to Jiangnanyuan.

Three hours later, when the last video was played, he pressed pause and his eyes stayed on the face in the video.

until the screen goes off.

Fu Shi then put out the cigarette and smiled helplessly.

"You're crazy."

As the deadline for EAW's dynamic promotion approached, Yunli planned to stay in her apartment to edit the video for two days over the weekend. Yunye called me early Saturday morning, covering up his voice and saying, "Yunli, did you give me a gift?"

Yunli thought of this and stopped what she was doing: "I want to ask you something first. Are you going in both directions?"

"Just, just good friends." Yun Ye lacked confidence.

"Oh, it seems that the man is interested in his concubine and is ruthless." Yun Li continued: "She also has the word 'Yun' in her name. If you are getting married, you can add her surname in front of your name."

Yunye: "..."

Yun Ye didn't want to argue with her, so he took the initiative to show weakness and said in a sweet tone: "Sister, can you send it off tomorrow? I'll send you her mobile phone number and address again."

"Yeah." Yun Li understood Yun Ye's thoughts, but to avoid Yun Yongchang being furious after the incident was revealed, she still distanced herself from the relationship: "Yun Ye, I don't support puppy love, it affects learning."

Yun Ye was dissatisfied: "I can be like you and wait until college to fall in love."

Yunli felt like she was being stabbed in the heart: "Don't involve me in what you said. Anyway, don't affect your studies."

Yun Ye was quiet for a while: "Yin Yunyi's grades are very good. She should be able to get into Western University of Science and Technology."

Yunli didn't take what he said at heart, and gossiped: "Photos." Expecting Yunye to refuse, she threatened: "I won't give you a gift until you give it."

Yun Ye: "Why don't you keep your word?"

Yunli said in a nonchalant tone: "I've always been like this. Did you meet me on the first day?"

Yunye: "..."

Having no idea, Yunye sent Yunli a photo. The photo was taken from the side of the corridor. The girl was tall, with a high ponytail and an oval face. She was looking back and smiling at the people behind her. Yunli didn't expect Yunye to like this type of person, so she took a few more glances and said, "This angle looks like a candid shot."

Yunye: "..."

Yunli: "I didn't expect that my brother is also a pervert."

Yun Ye's tone was unkind: "It sounds like you haven't taken any secret photos."

Yunli laughed and did not deny it: "So what I said was 'yeah'."

Yunli didn't want to go to a stranger's home and didn't want to talk to a stranger on the phone, so she drafted a text message and sent it to Yin Yunyi, who responded instantly.

Yin Yunyi told Yunli that she would attend a cram school near Tianqi Square tomorrow. She sent several text messages and insisted that her brother drive to Yunli nearby to avoid Yunli making a special trip there.

Tianqi Square is one of the largest commercial centers in Nanwu, half an hour's drive from Haitian Commercial Capital.

The two agreed to meet at the coffee shop on the first floor of Haitian Commercial City at 6pm on Saturday. Yunli put on light makeup, took Yunye's gift and went out.
