Her heart stopped for a moment, and Yunli raised her head and met his eyes.
Within a few seconds, his restrained and calm expression changed slightly. The hand that was playing with the snowflakes paused for a moment, and suddenly pressed the back of her head lightly.
Before Yunli could react, she was gently carried into his arms.
The air was damp and cold, and the coldness seeped into her skin. Her cheeks were already so cold that she lost consciousness. But at this moment, Yunli seemed to be surrounded by a warm fire, with heat radiating from her close body.
She raised her chin and could see his clear auricles.
The sound of his heartbeat was in my ears.
It seems... quite fast.
Yunli buried her head in his chest and hugged him back. Feeling her response, Fu Shize tightened his arms a little, as if he was holding an extremely precious treasure.
He didn't notice how long it had passed. When they let go of each other, the cold red part of Yunli's cheeks seemed to spread behind her ears.
Fu Shi looked down at her and moved his hand naturally down her arm.
Even though she was wearing a thick coat, Yunli could feel the movement of his fingers, and then her right hand was held by him.
He was familiar with Nanwu Airport, took Yunli's hand to the parking lot, and opened the passenger door for Yunli. He sat back in the driver's seat, approached her naturally and fastened her seat belt.
"Are you going straight home?"
Fu Shize said: "It's still early."
It sounded like he was going to stay with her for a while. She was in a happy mood. She was scrolling through her mobile phone in the passenger seat. Many people in her circle of friends posted videos of the first snowfall in Nanwu, most of which were taken from their own residences.
She asked casually: "Where do you live?"
Fu Shize: "My parents live in Fenglin, Beishan, and I usually live in Jiangnanyuan."
Beishan maple forest
When Yunli was browsing the E-site, she saw the house review of Beishan Fenglin, which is a well-known high-end community in Nanwu City. She turned on her phone silently and searched for Jiangnanyuan. It is an old house from the 1990s in the center of Nanwu, but its extraordinary location and educational and medical resources also make it valuable.
“…”
She was silent for a while, remembering that her family's financial situation was not good when she was a child, but Yun Yongchang became much better off after he opened a driving school.
Even so, the loan for the house in Xifu was paid off only a few years ago.
Yunli didn't feel the joy of finding a rich second generation. On the contrary, the economic gap between the two families put a little pressure on her.
She didn't want there to be too much of a gap between them.
But it seems inevitable.
She began to calculate her income from being an Up host in the past few years. Although it was not much, according to the current trend, she would be able to save some money by the time she graduated. If you work for two more years after graduation, you should be able to barely cover part of the down payment when buying a house. It shouldn't be much, but it won't be a drop in the bucket either.
…
The airport is in a relatively remote place, and both sides of the road are covered with snow. Snow particles fell on the windshield and were carried away by the wipers. Fu Shi stared at the road ahead and put his phone on the side of Yunli's legs.
"Let's see what the temperature is tomorrow."
Yunli clicked on the weather software on her phone, and Fu Shize said, "Use my phone."
"?"
She was a little confused, but she didn't question what he said. She picked up his phone and turned on the screen.
The lock screen is a photo of them together.
It turns out it’s not the weather forecast that’s important to watch.
She curled her lips and unlocked the phone.
The car parked downstairs in the apartment, and Fu Shize went upstairs with her. The heat in the apartment hit her face.
Before Yunli left, she was worried that Fu Shize would feel cold when he arrived, so she turned on the air conditioner. She also felt stuffy at the moment, so she loosened her scarf and hung it on the coat rack.
She took off her close-fitting coat, leaving behind a slim-fitting black turtleneck dress. She bought this when she first arrived in Nanwu. She had a thin waist and the clothes fit her waist well, so she bought it.
The people next to her looked at her quietly.
Yunli walked to the window and wanted to open the slit to get some air. Before her hand could reach the window lock, she was suddenly enveloped by a heat source. Fu Shi pressed against her back and hugged her from behind.
He took off his coat, leaving only a single piece of clothing underneath. Compared to the previous two hugs, Yunli felt that the heavy barrier between the two of them had faded away, and she could even directly feel his muscle lines.
She didn't dare to move and stared blankly at the window, letting her heart beat naturally accelerate.
Their translucent figures were reflected on the glass, and snowflakes fell diagonally in the direction of the wind. The sky in the distance was pure black. Yunli's eyes moved downward, and she noticed the two mini snowmen she had built before leaving.
On the window sill, next to each other. She braided two red ropes to serve as the snowman's scarf, and the snow that later fell accumulated near the snowman's lower body. Fu Shi followed her gaze, his expression softened, and he held her hand a little harder.
He put his chin on her shoulder, his face touching hers lightly.
Yunli felt that the place she touched felt like an electric shock, and she felt itchy. Just when she wanted to avoid it, the face next to her nudged her lightly.
Use extremely slow speed.
Up, down, up, down.
The snow will never stop, and the emotions will never change.
He obviously hadn't said a word after entering the house, but at that moment, Yunli understood. He came back to watch the first snow with her, the first snow in Nanwu, and the first snow in her life.
This action lasted for several minutes, and when the reminiscing was over, Fu Shi leaned back on the sofa. The fish tank he left when he left was still on the coffee table. Yunli bought another oxygen pump and decorative lamp, and several fish were scurrying around in full swing. .
Yunli didn't forget the strawberries he ordered last night. After washing them, she put them on a plate and put them in front of him.
"I bought it from the vendor. It seems to be from my own strawberry garden. It should be very fresh." Yunli sat next to him.
He didn't seem to particularly want to eat. He looked at it leisurely for a while, then reached out and picked up one, but he just put it on top of the other.
After he removed all the strawberries on the first layer, Yunli realized that he was looking at the strawberries on the bottom layer.
After reading it, he fell silent.
"Are you looking for something?" Yunli was puzzled. He picked one up and ate it. It tasted crispy and sweet. Fu Shi closed his eyes and stopped being stubborn. He picked one up and ate it.
He rarely had something on his mind and suddenly asked: "Where's the scarf?"
Yunli was stunned for a moment. She worked hard for two days. Because the knitting was too ugly, she hastily finished it into a short scarf. She thought about taking it back to Yunye and finding time to knit another one for Fu Shize.
"It's knitted, but it's a bit ugly. I took a picture and showed it to Yunye." Yunli went to the room and took out a scarf. It was pure gray and unevenly woven. She handed it to Fu Shize, who looked at it twice and put it aside.
Her tone was unsurprising: "He really said he was ugly."
Yunli did not forget to show Fu Shize the chat history between the siblings. His eyes moved up and down for a while, then looked away.
He didn't eat many strawberries, so he ate two to try to distract himself.
The family called him several times, but Fu Shi did not stay with Yunli for long. When he was about to leave, he suddenly said to her: "I want to decorate some strawberries and take them back."
Yunli got up and went to the kitchen to get him a sealed bag, and vaguely heard the sound of Fu Shize packing things.
There was more than half of the box of strawberries left, so Yunli packed it and put it in his bag.
After he left, Yunli received a message from Yunye. His tone was a bit reluctant: [Okay, although it is a bit ugly, you should bring it back to me and accept it reluctantly.]
Yunli: [Do you want love or not?]
The scarf he knitted after staying up all night did not achieve the expected results, and Yunye looked disgusted again. Yunli felt a little depressed and thought about throwing it away. She got up and looked for her scarf, but saw no shadow.
Not sure what she had collected just now, Yunli rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to look for it.
After a few minutes, the phone vibrated, and it was a message from Fu Chize—
[I accidentally put the scarf in my bag.]
Yunli: "..."
…
The next day is the last working day of 2016. After Yunli arrived at EAW, the experience hall was still filled with groups of students from Nanwu No. 1 Middle School. It is estimated that today is the last experience day.
The childlike high school students made the experience hall lively and energetic, and the music that was always playing in the experience hall was also covered up by the noise.
Yunli was sent to the experience hall to help as usual. She stood on the glass fence on the fifth floor and looked down. There were densely packed students below, like a group of pixel blocks moving irregularly.
As soon as her eyes moved, Yunli saw a girl with a high ponytail in the crowd. She was taller than her peers. She had no makeup on her face and her fair face was outstanding. Chatting with a group of female students, speaking in a serious and focused manner, gentle and polite.
Yunli stared at it for a while, feeling that she could understand Yunye's heartbeat. I secretly took a photo and sent it to Yun Ye.
It's still broad daylight, so Yunye probably can't look at his phone yet.
I don’t know how long I watched it, but a voice suddenly came from behind me: “What a coincidence.”
Yunli turned around and found that it was Yin Yucheng.
She was stunned for a moment: "Are you coming over to play?"
Yin Yucheng walked next to her and looked at her just now: "My younger sister and others are here to play, and I'm here to join in the fun."
Yin Yucheng took a closer look and saw Yin Yunyi's group of people: "Are you looking at my sister?"
Yunli didn't want to admit it and said, "No."
Yin Yucheng pointed in a direction without exposing her lie: "Over there."
"She is indeed a very cute girl." Yunli said sincerely.
Yin Yucheng smiled and said: "It's not bad." He thought for a while and said: "Yun Ye should be pretty good too. After all, you are pretty good-looking."
“…”
The first time she was praised in person by a boy she didn't know well, Yunli felt at a loss. As they came and went, she chatted awkwardly: "I saw that your sister seems to be helping to get things and helping to line up. She seems to be very enthusiastic."
Yin Yucheng did not deny it: "My parents have taught us to be helpful people since we were young, so I am also like this."
Vaguely feeling that the other party was praising her, Yunli echoed: "It seems that your parents have taught you well."
Yin Yucheng: "Since we've met each other, why don't you also go say hello to Yun Yi."
Yunli was afraid that she wouldn't know what to say when they met, so she was about to refuse. Yin Yucheng advised: "It's okay, let's meet. She must also want to see you."
"Okay." Yunli had no choice but to agree.
The two walked downstairs to see Yin Yunyi and found that she had taken off her coat. All that's left is a sweater and a base layer shirt. When Yin Yunyi saw Yun Li, she nodded with a smile and said, "Hello, sister." The corners of her lips curled up, "Yun Ye looks a lot like you."
Yunli: "Many people say we look alike."
Yin Yucheng looked at her thin figure and asked, "Why don't you wear a coat?"
Yin Yunyi looked around, confirmed that his classmates were not there, and whispered: "I lent it to my classmates."
He frowned: "Then if you only wear two pieces, will it be cold?"
Yin Yunyi: “There are more people indoors here and it’s not too cold.”
After accepting her bracelet last time, and since the other person was the one Yun Ye liked, Yun Li couldn't ignore it. He took the initiative and said, "I still have a coat in the lounge. If you don't mind, why don't you put it on first?"
"No need, sister," Yin Yunyi smiled and said politely, "I don't mind. Sister, you don't wear much, so don't catch a cold."
"It's okay, I just put it in the lounge for later use." Yunli didn't often have such conversations, and waved her hand, "I'll get it for you."
Back in the lounge, Yunli opened her cabinet, took out her clothes, and checked them carefully to make sure they were clean.
Turning around to return to the experience center, I found Fu Shize behind me.
He said calmly: "Where to go?"
"Yun Ye's crush is from Nanwu No. 1 Middle School, and she's here too." Yun Li shook the clothes in her hands, "She lent her clothes to others. I was afraid that she would be cold, so I gave her some clothes."
"Well," Fu Shize leaned against the door, "Is she alone?"
"No, her brother is also there. I met her brother first. Then I went to say hello to her."
"Um."
When Yunli saw him blocking the way at the door, she smiled and pulled his hand: "If it's okay, can I go there first?"
"Yeah." Fu Shize gave in.
After Yunli walked out, she heard a voice from behind: "I'm with you."
