Yunli listened to the sound and felt the hugging hands gradually tighten. She turned her head and raised her chin to look at him, while Fu Shi looked at her expressionlessly.
As if waiting for her next step.
Pretending to be calm, she opened his fingers and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, her mind spinning rapidly.
She didn't tell her best friend about their relationship, and when Deng Chuqi asked, she didn't acknowledge his identity.
Not very good indeed.
Will he be angry about this
Yunli poked her head out of the kitchen, while Fu Shi lowered his eyes, showing no emotion. As if she was overthinking it, she sat down on the sofa and took a sip of water: "Let's continue watching the movie."
Fu Shi was playing with the remote control without any intention of pressing the buttons.
Yunli pushed his knees and motioned for him to start quickly as if nothing had happened. A few seconds later, Fu Shize pressed the start button, Yunli stood up and turned off the light, and a picture was projected on the wall.
She sat back on one side of the sofa, while Fu Shi lay on the sofa, with his upper body leaning on the other side and one leg tucked away.
It is a popular romance film. There are no ambiguous or outrageous scenes in the film, but mostly pure heartbeats and romantic natural scenery. After watching for a while, Yunli moved her body and leaned closer to Fu Shize.
The only light in the room was from the projector, which reflected on his face. Yunli turned sideways and stared at the camera, his expression calm and natural, not looking angry.
His hands were around his chest.
She moved closer and sat in front of him.
She wasn't watching the movie at all, tentatively trying to keep him from being angry. After a while, the person behind her did not stand still with her, and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms.
Seeing that he finally relaxed, Yunli felt relieved.
The movie was only an hour and a half long and had a happy ending. When the music started, Yunli raised her head and looked back at him, only to find that he was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Fell asleep.
“…”
Yunli thinks this movie is a bit innocent, but it doesn't seem that boring.
She observed his sleeping face, his eyelashes were distinct and the ends of his eyes were long and narrow. Yunli stretched out her fingers and touched his eyelashes. His brows were furrowed and his closed eyes were trembling slightly.
Having nightmares again.
She recalled the first time she saw him curled up on the sofa in the EAW lounge, his shoulder blades thin. She realized that whenever night fell, an invisible black mist would envelope him, making him stay there forever and unable to escape.
Yunli stroked his brow. His eyebrows slowly opened as if he had been comforted. He was encouraged, and the strength on her hand became smaller until he opened his eyes and grabbed her fingers.
Caught off guard.
She subconsciously stepped back, but was trapped in his body. He calmly put her hand back between his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and maintained a steady breathing.
Yunli: "..."
I don't pretend to be asleep like this.
…
Before leaving, Fu Shize forwarded the address of the Skyscraper Restaurant to Yunli, and he made a reservation for New Year's Eve dinner. The restaurant is on the top floor of Tianqi Mall. The revolving restaurant can see the night view of the city.
She called Yun Ye. The two siblings usually celebrated New Year's Eve together. It was rare that the person was not him, and she was still a little uncomfortable with it. Yun Ye was leaning on the bed, playing a game on his tablet. He put his phone to his side and asked without looking back, "What are you doing?"
Yunli thought she had a perfect New Year's Eve, so she said cheerfully: "How are you celebrating New Year's Eve tomorrow?"
"New Year's Eve?" Yun Ye raised his eyes to look at her and said nonchalantly, "I won't celebrate New Year's Eve without you."
Yunli was stunned for a moment. The boy's facial features had gradually grown in recent years, but he still retained a familiar aura between his eyebrows. She habitually said sarcastically: "You are quite affectionate."
She changed the subject: "Why did your parents allow you to play games?"
"This game is a biology tree. I just go over what I learned in biology class." Yunye gave her some science knowledge. Suddenly, he turned off the tablet, stood up from the bed, jumped to the ground, and pulled his slippers towards the camera. Close here.
Yunli: "Don't jump through the floor."
Yunye: "..."
He picked up the phone, poured it into his vagina again, and put his face close to the camera, with a stinky face as always: "Are you celebrating New Year's Eve alone tomorrow?"
When Yunli and Yunye were together, they were used to doing other things, such as visiting E-station and playing games. She didn't look at him and said casually: "Leave me alone."
Yun Ye choked back: "I don't care, I just hope that you will be as miserable as me."
The two complained to each other about everyday things and hung up the phone. When the phone buzzed, it was Yun Ye who sent a red envelope with a simple name [New Year's Eve to Yun Li].
“…”
What a guilt trip.
After calling Yunye, Yunli also called Deng Chuqi, but the person on the other side didn't speak immediately. Seeing the opportunity, Yunli quickly apologized: "Qiqi, don't be angry. I wanted to tell you next time we meet."
"Okay, I'm not too sad." Deng Chuqi smiled and pretended to put on airs for a while, "Is that voice Uncle Xia Xia? You two got together after not seeing each other for a few days."
Yunli felt embarrassed now and whispered: "Yes."
Deng Chuqi: "How come you two are together? How is it going?"
Yunli removed the details and gave a rough outline.
"Before, you chased me for so long without getting any results. Now that you haven't chased me, it's like driving a train." Deng Chuqi complained, "But from this look, the person he wanted to date before was probably you."
After saying this, Yunli did not forget the question she wanted to ask: "He asked me to have dinner with him on New Year's Eve. Does this mean he will spend New Year's Eve with me?"
"Of course,
Deng Chuqi thought hard: "I can't guess what Uncle Fu is thinking. I originally thought he was cold-blooded, but now it seems he is not."
Yunli was confused: "What does this mean?"
Deng Chuqi suddenly became serious: "Lili, you have to protect yourself. It's only past twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, so you can't stay overnight."
Yunli: "..."
The next day, after lunch, Yunli sat in front of the dressing table, put on makeup for a long time, and took out the camel sweater dress from the closet.
Before putting it on, she sent a message to Fu Shize: [Can you take a full-body photo of you today?]
Fu Shize didn't ask why. After a few minutes, he directly sent the photo.
Dark gray sweater and light gray slacks.
Yunli: [Where is the coat?]
Fu Shize sent another photo.
Black trench coat.
Yunli looked at his photo and picked out a similar dark gray slim-fitting sweater and skirt, as well as a long black woolen jacket from the wardrobe.
After trying it on, Yunli took a photo and sent it to Fu Shize.
Caption: [We are wearing couple’s clothes today.]
Yunli went out early and went to Haitian Shangdu to take a look at the gifts that could be given to Fu Shize.
After walking around the mall, Yunli stopped in front of an aromatherapy shop.
He doesn't sleep well.
Yunli picked a vetiver scented candle and tried it. It smelled of lemon and citronella. Scented candles are packaged in a small box and placed in a delicate paper bag.
On the roadside, Yunli edited a text message, planning to ask Fu Shize to pick her up at Haitian Shangdu. The two shopping malls were some distance apart. She stood on the roadside and didn't pay attention to what was happening behind her.
Suddenly I heard someone exclaiming: "Robbery, robbery!"
Yunli looked to the right cautiously, but found nothing unusual, and heard rapid footsteps behind her: "Get out of my way!"
Yunli was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground from the back left side. The gift bag originally carried also flew out.
The robber bumped into someone, staggered, quickly recovered his posture and continued running forward, picking up her bag of gifts along the way.
Things happened so suddenly that Yunli knelt on the ground, even a little confused: "My things..."
Someone from behind continued to chase, and within a few seconds, the two of them ran away until their shadows disappeared.
The phone in her pocket rang. Yunli patted the dust on her knees and stood up with difficulty. She took out her mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was Fu Chize. She tapped to answer: "Hello?"
"Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Yunli looked around: "I'm on the road behind the north gate of Haitian Shangdu." There was a pain in his right hand. Yunli changed his hand to hold up the phone, and his movements became very awkward. She looked at her right hand. When she fell, the back of her hand scraped against the concrete floor. Now a large piece of skin was torn, and blood and dust were mixed together.
Yunli took a look and felt it was very bloody, so she looked away again. She felt annoyed: "I might be late." She fell down and lost the gift.
Fu Shize: "What's wrong?"
When she was a child, she would be scolded by Yun Yongchang when she came home from a fall, saying that she made people worry. Yunli instinctively did not dare to directly explain this issue. She was afraid of Yun Yongchang.
Fu Shize asked patiently again: "What's wrong?"
The tone made Yunli feel relieved.
Not wanting him to worry too much, Yunli changed the subject and said, "It seems difficult to make an appointment at the store you booked. I might be late. Can you delay it?"
Fu Shize ignored her question: "Wait for me at the north gate of Haitian Shangdu." The phone was not disconnected. Yunli heard the sound of the engine starting. She thought it was because he forgot to hang up, but from the other side -
"Hang up the phone."
Yunli didn't want Fu Shize to come over and stand in a conspicuous position on the side of the road, while gently blowing on the wound on the back of his right hand.
Fu Shize's car arrived soon. After Yunli got into the passenger seat, he drove the car to a temporary parking space on the roadside.
He turned off the fire and moved his gaze downward from the top of her head, scanning her skin inch by inch without missing a single point.
Against his ray-like gaze, Yunli asked again: "Can we postpone the time to go to that restaurant?"
The people around him didn't say anything. He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned close to her. Yun Li was stunned for a moment, but Fu Shize had already found the location of her injury. He gently supported the back of her hand and frowned, "What's wrong with the hand?"
It was obvious that she couldn't hide it, so Yun Li said bluntly: "I bought you a gift, but it was snatched away just now..." As she spat out each word, her painted eyes grew colder at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she frowned. It feels like the galaxy is about to be destroyed in a second.
Yunli comforted him in turn: "That person bumped into me and I fell. It's not a big deal. I broke my skin a little."
