Yunli realized that she had been confused here for a long time, and it was not that Fu Shi didn't know Yunye's name.
Rolling down the car window, Yunli wanted to blow in the wind for a while to calm down, but the heat on her face reminded her that it was summer.
It was early spring when they separated, and the temperature was still below zero that day.
The last meeting was extremely unpleasant.
After a phone call, the two broke up completely.
Yunli's first reaction was to shirk. She stared at the screen for a long time, typing rejection sentences back and forth—
[Sorry, the car broke down.]
[Sorry, I forgot to bring my book. Yun Ye said he would get it back home next time.]
While repeatedly typing the rejection statement on the screen, Yunli thought of last year, until she left Nanwu, she had been secretly dreaming about one day.
Fu Shi will reappear.
He hugged her as always and said softly, "Lili, don't be unhappy."
At that time she really hoped to meet again.
But fantasy is still fantasy.
The phone vibrated.
F: [I'm at the entrance of the Control Academy.]
Yunli deleted the words of rejection and put aside the messy thoughts in her mind.
They are all adults.
Those things were just entanglements between two people in this world in a very short period of time.
She didn't need to care so much.
She took a deep breath and told herself that she didn't care anymore.
Yunli drove in the direction of the Control Academy. When she reached the last corner, she found a place to stop.
He looked down at his clothes, straightened them a little, and smoothed the folds.
Pulling down the mirror on the ceiling, I carefully styled my hair and put on my daily milk tea color lipstick.
The car approached the Control Academy steadily. In the distance, a group of black shadows stood on the roadside. As she slowly approached, the light gradually became abundant.
Fu Shi was leaning against a light pole, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and navy blue casual pants. .
She drove slower.
The other party noticed the arrival of the car and turned his head.
After a year and a half, the person in front of me is very unfamiliar.
Fu Shi smiled lightly, put his pockets in his pockets, and walked slowly to the driver's side. His torso could be seen from the car, standing there relaxedly.
Yunli rolled down the window and was dazzled by the lights of the oncoming car. She closed her eyes, opened them again, and met his gaze.
The corners of his eyes were slightly curved, with a hint of smile and publicity, and his eyes were as clear as those of a big boy. He lowered his head and called, "LiLi."
The softness in his voice was similar to before, but something was completely different.
Yunli was stunned for a moment, then handed him the book on the passenger side: "Sorry to trouble you."
"Yes." Fu Shize took it casually and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yunli was stunned. She couldn't tell what he was asking. She pursed her lower lip and said, "I'm fine. I'm doing an internship."
"Well." He turned his eyes to the coffee shop on the side, "Would you like something to drink?"
Yunli realized that he wanted to talk.
From the moment she deleted him and put all their connections behind her, he was a complete stranger in her mind.
Yunli doesn't want to have any other contact.
She politely refused: "No, I have other things to be busy with."
Fu Shize's hand holding the book froze, and he nodded quietly without showing any displeasure at being rejected.
He had already taken a step back, then asked again: "The teaching building is a bit far from here, can you give me a ride?"
He raised the book in his hand and said, "Give the book to Yun Ye in time for the first recess."
“…”
Yunli looked into his clean eyes and couldn't say no.
It is true that they trouble others.
Hearing the sound of the car door unlocking, Fu Shize calmly got into the passenger seat, buckled his seat belt, and said politely: "Thank you."
Yunli started the car and drove a few hundred meters in the school in a daze. After the people next to her got in the car, they leaned on their seats and looked ahead casually.
She looked like it didn't matter how she acted.
“…”
Yunli didn't want to talk at first, but she didn't know the way, so she could only say: "Can you point me to the way?"
"Turn right at the end."
"Take the first left at the intersection."
"Turn left at the end."
"Take the second right."
…
Yunli had never realized that the University of Western Science and Technology was so big.
She followed Fu Shize's guidance and drove a long way.
Every once in a while, Fu Shize would calmly tell her how to drive. His tone was lazy and there was no trace of lying.
Ten minutes have passed and we haven't arrived at the teaching building yet.
Yunli couldn't help but ask: "How long will it take?"
He glanced sideways at her: "We're here."
Outside is a long corridor with buildings all over it.
Yunli stopped the car and waited for a long time, but he didn't get out.
Yunli didn't know why he was still waiting in the car, so he reminded: "We're here."
Fu Shi, on the other hand, was like a rebellious boy and didn't understand the hint in her words.
"We haven't seen each other for so long." He played with the book in his hand and raised his eyes to look at her: "Don't you want to chat?"
“…”
Seeing that she remained silent, he smiled and said, "If you don't want to, forget it."
Yunli paused, hesitated for a moment, and asked him: "What are you talking about..."
The question bounced back to Fu Chize, who tapped his fingers on the book as if he was thinking about the question seriously.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The campus sound system played the end of get out of class bell.
Hearing the ringing, Fu Shize said casually: "I haven't thought about it either. Let's meet again at some time. I'll give the book to Yun Ye first."
After saying this, Fu Shi opened the car door, looked back at her, and walked to the teaching building.
Yunli looked at the back. Her straight back relaxed and she leaned against the armchair as if she had been reborn.
For a moment, she bent down, and Fu Shi was not unnatural at all, treating her as an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
He really let go.
After being dazed in the car for a long time, Yunli remembered that today was Friday and sent a message to Yunye: [The book is for your teaching assistant, are you going home today?]
Yun Ye: [Go back.]
Yun Ye: [I have forty minutes until get out of class ends. Will you wait for me to go back together? As for me, I will take the bus back tomorrow.]
Yunli: [Okay.]
There was nothing wrong in the school. Yunli glanced at the direction where Fu Shize disappeared, turned on the navigation, turned around and drove towards the Control Academy.
Find a place to stop.
Yunli walked into the building according to the path in her memory, and she stamped her feet.
As she thought, the screens and posters at the door all had traces of Fu Shize. The difference from the last time was that they all happened recently.
Including the Unique team winning the first prize in the drone design competition, as well as several of his recent important scientific research achievements and patents.
She looked at the person on the poster, recalling the person she had just met, and had an extremely unreal feeling.
"Holy crap, that Fu Shize from the lab next door has published another top issue."
"I heard that he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and won national awards every year from undergraduate to doctoral level. He seems to come from a high-achieving family. It's incomparable."
"But, I can't envy him. His junior brother said that he is the king of papers. He comes to the laboratory on time at 6:30 every day and doesn't leave until 12 o'clock in the evening. He is also there on weekends. If he had such self-discipline, I would have won the national award."
"I heard that he is single, and the junior sister in our laboratory wants to pursue him."
"Oh, my senior brother in the laboratory also wants to pursue..."
Someone was chatting at the top of the stairs, but Yunli didn't listen and turned around to leave the college.
What she saw and what she heard were like catalysts, reminding her of the days and nights we spent together in the past, the person who kissed and hugged her and talked about love.
Yunli's chest felt tight.
After finding a corner outside the teaching building and stopping, Yun Li called Deng Chuqi and recounted her recent encounter with Fu Shize.
"It just feels very unreal, as if he's a different person." Yunli murmured, "It's not so much that he is unreal now, but rather that the half-year period when the two met was unreal. .”
She just got away with stealing part of his time.
Deng Chuqi from Yuanyang was having lunch and said in an upbeat tone: "You make it sound like he has been pierced by a spirit. He is doing well now. Have you never thought about getting back together?"
"..." Yun Li said directly: "No, I don't like him anymore."
Deng Chuqi let out a long "Oh".
“…”
Hearing the suspicion in her tone, Yunli explained: "He and I are not suitable either. And if we talk about getting back together now, he might think I'm trying to fawn over him."
Yunli wanted to continue saying something, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Fu Shize coming down from upstairs.
She and Deng Chuqi chatted briefly and hung up the phone.
The car was blocked by grass. From her angle, she could see both sides of the curve of the teaching building. On one side was the campus lake, and on the other side was the campus road.
Fu Shize arrived on the first floor, looked aside with an indifferent expression, then walked to the end of the corridor, leaned against the stone pillar with his arms crossed, and silently looked at the lake in front of him.
Yunli glanced at the pale crook of his elbow.
The eyes moved to the side of his face, the painted pupils were cold and sharp, the blood-red lips were lightly closed, and the body covered by a white shirt was thin.
It has an air of isolation from beginning to end.
Fu Shi stayed there for more than twenty minutes.
When the bell rang, students were noisily walking down another corridor one after another. No one noticed him turning a corner and standing alone.
He seemed unable to hear the outside world, his eyelids drooped, he took out a few gravels from his pocket and threw them on the lake.
She could still recall his casual smile when he got out of the car just now, which was incompatible with the current scene.
Yunye called to urge her, but Yunli didn't have time to think about it, so she started the car and drove onto the road.
Yun Ye stood out among the crowd. After his sophomore year in high school, his height suddenly reached 1.82 meters. And like Yun Li, he had a bit of heroism at the end of his eyes, which made people feel unruly when he wasn't smiling. He threw his schoolbag into the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.
There were a few girls in the crowd staring at their car.
"You are quite popular." Yunli said casually.
"Well, I have received a lot of love letters." Yun Ye looked at Yun Li and said in an exaggerated tone: "Can you believe that some of them are your old fans."
“…”
"You said you've watched me grow up in the past five years." Yun Ye's scalp went numb at the thought, and he poked Yun Li, "Can you delete the video with me in it?"
"Why delete it?" Yunli didn't understand.
"I don't want to be domestically abused."
“…”
It took a long time for Yunli to realize that Yunye was talking about Yin Yunyi. She didn't know how many times she had asked this question: "Are you together?"
"Not yet. I want to give her a more formal confession. There are more classes now, and neither of us wants to fall behind on our studies. We don't have time to prepare, so we discussed with her that we would confess later."
“…”
No wonder these two people can go to Western University of Science and Technology.
"Do you discuss everything with each other?" Yun Li suddenly asked.
"Yes." Yunye drooped his eyelids and yawned, "What are you doing?"
"nothing."
The car drove out of West University of Science and Technology, and Yunye closed his eyes to sleep. Along the way, she was restless thinking about the figure she had just seen. As she was almost home, Yunye woke up and took a waffle from the mezzanine.
Yunli asked him: "Do you know who your assistant coach is?"
Yun Ye was confused: "Who?"
Yunli: "My ex-boyfriend."
Yunye: "Which one?"
“…”
Yun Li was so angry that she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yun Ye thought about it carefully and was stunned. He just ate the waffles in his hand, then turned around and said, "Is it really that brother?"
“…”
"There is only a teaching assistant in the group. I didn't see him today. He helped me put the books at the back of the classroom. If I really knew it was him, I definitely wouldn't..." Yun Ye turned around to argue with her. Halfway through, he felt it was unnecessary. He directly changed his question and asked Yunli: "Sister, you have been separated for so long, how will you feel when we meet again?"
"No." Yun Liben answered instinctively.
"Oh. Isn't that good?" Yunye breathed a sigh of relief as he thanked God for not offending Yunli.
The car fell into an incomparable silence. Yunye was right, they had been separated for so long.
Yunli didn't think about Fu Chize anymore.
After returning home, she browsed the E-site for a while and wrote some copy.
Until before going to bed, she forced herself not to think about it, not to think about it.
The white bear effect means that if you tell a person not to think about a white bear, that person will be unable to restrain himself from imagining a white bear in his mind.
When she woke up the next day, Yunli rushed to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. Looking at my own face and cheeks in the mirror, I just felt that it was outrageous.
The touch of the words in the dream was very real.
She comforted herself.
Just a dream.
Can't explain anything.
After going to the refrigerator to get two pieces of toast, Yunli saw the message Fu Shize sent her at around six o'clock.
F: [Sorry.]
F: [I seem to have left the key in the car. It has a blue round buckle. Can you help me take a look?]
Yunli threw the toast on the plate, went back, changed her clothes and went downstairs.
I searched for it in the passenger seat for a while but couldn't find it.
Yunli rolled her seat to the back and saw the two-centimeter round key button underneath. She probably accidentally scratched it out of her pocket.
Yunli: [In the car, let Yunye bring it to you on Monday?]
F: [There is a machine running in the laboratory. If it is convenient, I can ask you to get it?]
Yunli didn't think too much and replied directly: [Then I'll send it to you. Where are you?]
After going back to wash up, Yunli had something to eat, then took her car keys and went out.
Fu Shize changed his clothes at the place where they met yesterday, wearing a light blue shirt, white casual pants, and leather flat shoes.
The sun was shining brightly, so Fu Shi put his hand on his forehead to cover it. Even so, the dazzling sunlight still made his eyes squint slightly.
Yunli handed him the key.
"Thank you." Fu Shize put the key in his pocket and asked naturally: "Are you going to work today?"
Yunli shook her head: "It's the weekend."
"Then what are you going to do?" He raised his eyebrows and asked casually.
Yunli said truthfully: "I haven't thought about it yet."
After hearing the answer, Fu Shize continued: "You brought me the keys. Let me buy you something to drink."
"No, I have something to do." Yunli completely forgot about the two questions Fu Shize had prepared in advance and blurted out her refusal.
Fu Shi smiled nonchalantly: "I didn't mean to say that I didn't think about what to do."
“…”
Yunli was a little embarrassed to be exposed in front of her, but Fu Shizi's mood was completely different from hers. His expression was a bit smiling and teasing, and he whispered in a nasal voice, seeming to urge her to answer.
Yunli rolled up the window and parked the car without changing her expression. After getting off the car, she looked calm and asked: "Where are you going?"
She was wearing a white suspender belt, a pair of light blue shorts, and a short-sleeved jacket stolen from Yun Ye. Her legs were slender and long.
Yunli stood side by side with him, but kept a distance from him consciously. She was calm on the surface, but her heart was already in a mess, and she only followed the movement of the light blue in her peripheral vision.
The original plan was to go back after delivering the keys, and it was not expected that the two of them would have further contact.
Suddenly, she felt a cold touch on her wrist, and she was pulled to his side.
The two were so close that she could smell the faint green orange smell on him.
Where she was originally standing, several small turtles passed by, which were common electric vehicles here in Xifu.
Fu Shize took two seconds to let go of her.
He lowered his eyes, and Yun Li happened to raise her eyes to look at him, and said blankly: "Thank you."
Fu Shize tilted his head to show that he heard, and continued walking to the right.
