When I get home from get off work, the furnishings in the house are the same as when I left, but it seems like everything has changed. Yunli threw her bag on the sofa, and the cardboard drone she put together a few days ago was still on the coffee table.
I probably won’t be able to send it out either.
Things made of cardboard were relatively fragile and couldn't be put into the box, and they took up too much space on the table. Yunli held them in her hands and weighed them for a long time.
Still not willing to throw it away.
She found a higher shelf and made room to put it on. Well, out of sight is pure.
Sitting in front of the computer with eyes swollen from crying, Yunli browsed the comments on the EAW promotional video released today, and most of them talked about making an appointment at the EAW experience center.
The purpose of the dynamic promotional video was achieved, but Yunli was in a terrible mood.
Fans posted loving comments, most of them shouting "My wife is awesome" and "My wife is a technology expert".
Yunli glanced at a blank profile picture. The name was just a few letters, and only the word "good-looking" was written. The comments were instantly flooded with new comments.
For three days in a row, Yunli was depressed and had difficulty falling asleep.
While attending class step by step, Yunli still often picks up her phone, but now she can no longer click on the WeChat interface she normally browses.
Fu Zhengchu also tried to invite her to play the king, and planned to help her recruit Fu Shize to join the third row. Fu Zhengchu was so enthusiastic about helping, but Yunli didn't have the courage to tell him that she had lost, so she just found an excuse to decline.
After the meeting downstairs, she has not seen Fu Chize yet.
The two people are like two parallel lines that no longer intersect. Until now, even if she gave up unilaterally, Fu Shize may still have no idea.
She seemed to have no sense of existence.
On Tuesday morning, Yun Lilai stayed awake.
She always feels that going to EAW again is something that requires overcoming many obstacles. One of the original reasons for coming to the internship was gone. Yunli couldn't imagine how she would react if she saw Fu Shize in EAW again.
After struggling for a while, Yunli stood up and brushed her teeth with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She has been undergoing three days of psychological construction - there is no need to give up her first internship midway because of a failure in love.
When she arrived at the company, Yunli took the bread and milk to the lounge for breakfast as usual. Not long after he sat down, he heard a movement from the sofa behind him.
Yunli froze a little. She raised her head and saw Fu Shize walking closer. How many days had it been since he last saw him? Six, seven, eight
Yunli can't remember clearly.
Fu Shize also seemed to be sleep deprived and seemed not very energetic.
He stopped in front of the coffee machine, and the sound of beans being crushed filled the entire space. Then Yunli heard him ask.
"Would you like some coffee?"
After confirming that there was no one around, Fu Shi could only ask himself.
Yunli lowered his head: "No."
She had fantasized about this scene many times, and when asked about it now, she just felt at a loss. Yunli picked up the unfinished milk, stood up and left in a hurry.
At this moment, Yunli acted like Fu Shize was a savage beast. He tilted his head and looked a little confused.
Fu Shize remembered what happened a few days ago.
After sending Yunli back to Qilixiangdu that night, he drove back to Jiangnanyuan from the roadside at three in the morning.
Before going to bed, Fu Shize turned the ringtone of his cell phone to the highest level to prevent Yunli from finding him in the morning. By the time he woke up, it was already Saturday noon.
He hastily defrosted two sandwiches, sat on the balcony, and read the comments under each of Yunli's videos again.
As dusk fell, Fu Shize realized that Yunli hadn't been looking for him all day.
He took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and looked at the time. It was half past five and half of the entire bottle was filled with ice water. The coldness brought back a trace of reason, but it did not calm the restlessness in his heart.
Want to see her.
Before picking up his coat and going out, Fu Shi caught a glimpse of the scarf placed on the sofa, reached for it, and circled it carefully twice in front of the mirror.
I drove to Haitian Shangdu and bought some cakes.
When she got downstairs, Fu Shize made two calls, but Yunli didn't answer.
He had nothing to do, so he was just waiting where he was.
In the darkness, Fu Shize saw Yun Li getting out of the car. She was wearing light makeup and a green skirt, with the skirt still swaying.
The person who sent her back was Yin Yucheng.
The two were influential figures in their respective schools and had crossed paths more or less.
Yin Yucheng got out of the car and went to the passenger seat to open the door for Yunli. After returning to the car, there was another person in the back seat. Yin Yucheng only rolled down the passenger window and looked at Yunli with burning eyes for several seconds.
All men.
There is no need to explain the thoughts behind this behavior.
Fu Shi was confused for a moment.
He looked down at the cigarette between his fingers. The wounds on his palms were already scarred. Thinking back to the few sober days he had spent in the past year and a half, he instantly regained his sanity.
-His arrival may be a waste to her.
It's just that there are people who are more irrational than him.
A day later, the notification bar on her phone prompted an update from Xianyun Didajiang, which was about making a cardboard drone. At the end of the video, she said - give it to an important person.
For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He gave up on himself, but there were still people who didn't give up on him.
And he also realized that he didn't want her to give up.
I planned to stay at EAW from morning to night, but the old man at home fell ill, so Fu Shi went to stay with him for a few days. When Xu Qingsong came to visit, the two chatted in the corridor for a while.
He and Xu Qingsong learned about some places to eat. Before leaving, Fu Shize asked him: "Is there anything on my table?"
Xu Qingsong: "I took a quick look before I left. It's just a few books and a computer."
Fu Shi fell into silence.
…
Back in reality, Yunli's behavior showed resistance and she had already walked to the door. Fu Shi lowered his head and repeatedly tapped the cup handle with his index finger.
"Isn't that drone given to me?"
Yun Li paused where he was and didn't look back: "No."
Seeing that Fu Shize didn't say anything, she directly closed the door.
After returning to her seat, Yunli put the milk on the table and stared at the words on it in trance. Just now she just wanted to escape from the lounge, but belatedly realized that her chest was as tight as a big stone.
She closed her eyes.
Perhaps because she was the one who pursued her from beginning to end and then gave up, Yunli felt like she was putting on a one-man show. It sounds like Fu Shize watched her video and thought she was going to give him the drone, which is exactly what Yunli imagined—
Fu Shize didn't notice at all that she deleted his WeChat account.
Yunli suddenly felt aggrieved. The whole process was about expressing her love and pursuing someone, and even giving up the pursuit was wishful thinking.
Yunli wanted to send a WeChat message to tell Fu Shize that she had given up the pursuit and wished him happiness.
…
But she had already deleted Fu Chize.
At noon, Yunli unexpectedly received a call from Yin Yucheng.
The other party's voice on the phone was low and gentle: "Hello, I am Yin Yucheng, Yin Yunyi's brother."
Yunli fumbled in her memory for a while before remembering that this was Yunye's classmate.
"Because Yun Yi lives on campus, I get all the letters sent home. I found that her previous class sent her postcards, about two per week, for three months."
Yunli didn't quite understand: "Yunyi is quite popular."
Yin Yucheng chuckled: "Yes. Although they are all signed in Class 15, Grade 2, I compared the handwriting and found that they are all the same."
Yunli: "Oh..."
Yin Yucheng: "Well, it's the same as the words on the gift box at that time."
Yunli: "..."
Yin Yucheng: "My family is a little worried about Yun Yi falling in love at this stage. I am near Haitian Shangdu. Is it convenient for us to come out and chat?"
After making an appointment with Yin Yucheng, Yunli sent a message to Yunye: [Yunye, I am totally convinced by you! ! !]
This guy is at school and probably has no time to look at his phone.
Yunli had to suspect that every time Yunye urged her to go back on the phone, it was just to ask her to bring gifts to Yin Yunyi.
It was still at the same cafe last time. When Yun Li arrived, Yin Yucheng was already waiting. Seeing Yunli, he reached out and handed her the menu.
Yunli: "No, I have to go to work later."
Yin Yucheng covered the menu and said, "Which company nearby are you interning at?"
Yunli: "EAW is the VR experience center."
Yin Yucheng held his chin and thought for a while, and when he was about to ask further questions, Yun Li took the initiative to speak: "Did you mean that my brother and your sister fell in love early?"
He probably didn't expect Yunli to be so nervous. He smiled and took out a stack of postcards from his briefcase. They were basically simple kraft paper, with a few commemorative postcards from Xifu Experimental Middle School mixed in.
"Our family is very strict with Yun Yi. We usually only give her a bracelet. It may be for this reason that your brother sends postcards." Yin Yucheng said this in a tone that sounded like he was watching a play, as if he was waiting. What happens next.
"Maybe it's not what you imagined..." Yunli didn't finish her words. She fell into silence as soon as she saw the words on the back of the postcard.
There seemed to be twenty postcards in this pile, and Yun Li saw that they all had familiar handwriting, but unlike the usual scribblings, the words on each postcard were neatly written.
Yunli returned the postcard: "What do you think?"
She only glanced briefly, and Yin Yucheng was a little surprised: "Don't you read the content?"
Yunli: "Forget it, it looks like it was written by my brother. I don't dare to peek at his letters."
Yin Yucheng laughed when he heard her words: "Don't you dare?"
Yunli was confused and didn't know what was wrong with her words.
Yin Yucheng stared at the young girl in front of him without any embarrassment: "I just came to confirm with you whether it is your brother's handwriting. I have an idea in my mind."
Yun Li looked at the postcard in front of her and asked with complicated emotions: "Does Yun Yi agree with you to bring these letters out?"
"Yun Yi is still relatively simple. She should just think that this is from the original class."
Yunli understood what he said, it was Yunye's unrequited love, and now the other party was worried about affecting Yin Yunyi's study.
This was the first time Yunli had dealt with such a matter for Yunye. She sounded apologetic: "Then I'll go back and talk to Yunye."
Yin Yucheng thought for a while and then said: "We haven't thought about it. If it doesn't affect our studies, we actually don't plan to get involved. If you have any news over there, just give me a call."
Yin Yucheng stayed with Yunli for dinner again, but Yunli refused. After thinking about it again and again, she couldn't help but ask: "Well, can I ask you something?"
Yin Yucheng: "Say."
Yunli: "Will Yunyi reply to Yunye?"
Yin Yucheng pondered for a while: "Probably not. As far as I know, she doesn't have pocket money to buy it."
Yunli: "Oh..."
I think of Yun Ye being frizzy every day, either doing questions or playing games, looking like an uncivilized boy.
I actually persisted for three months and sent letters with no response.
Yunli couldn't help but take on the role of herself, and developed a strong sympathy for Yunye.
Yin Yucheng put on his coat, followed her, and said politely: "I'll take you to the door of the company. I can also find out where Yunye's sister works."
Just when Yun Li was about to refuse, Yin Yucheng raised his voice and said half-jokingly: "Maybe we will be a family in the future."
Yunli: "..."
The two of them didn't communicate with each other along the way. Yin Yucheng looked down at the girl next to him. She didn't seem to be very good at socializing with strangers. He could clearly feel her discomfort.
After arriving at the door of EAW, Yin Yucheng did not go in. He smiled and said to her: "Don't be too nervous about this matter. We will communicate with you if there is any news."
Yun Li nodded, turned around and swiped his card. Yin Yucheng's figure was reflected on the glass door. He hadn't left yet. She pretended not to notice, lowered her head and walked directly back to the lounge.
It's now 12:45, and her lunch box is still there. There was no one in the lounge, and the lunch boxes were placed in a thermal bag on the table. There were two boxes left, and the soup leaked into the bag.
The door was blocked by someone behind before it was closed. Fu Shi opened the door and stood beside her. Yunli could see the toes of his shoes and trousers in her field of vision.
Yunli just wanted to take the lunch box and leave immediately. The person next to her moved and gently pushed away the hand she had just stretched out.
"Don't get your hands dirty."
Fu Shi used a paper towel to wipe off the soup on the edges of the lunch boxes, took out the two boxes together and put them in the microwave to heat.
The air conditioner was turned on to 30 degrees Celsius, and the room was hot and stuffy. He opened half of the window, and after being offset by the cold wind, Yunli felt that he could breathe a little more comfortably.
A familiar figure was walking in front of her, but her legs seemed to be stuck in place, unable to move.
There was a ding.
Fu Shi opened the microwave oven, put two pieces of paper on them, placed the two lunch boxes side by side, opened them one by one, and then took apart the chopsticks one by one.
He pulled out his chair and looked up at the man standing motionless.
"Sit here?"
