Being used to morning classes, Yunye got up at seven o'clock as a habit. Passing by the kitchen, there was already a figure walking back and forth inside.
Yun Ye: "Why did you get up so early?"
Yunli: "Prepare lunch."
The kitchen window faced the sun, and the light and shadow blurred Yunli's figure. Yun Ye yawned and scratched his hair: "Isn't it just morning?"
"It will take several hours to make porridge if you make it quickly."
"Oh, by the way." Yun Ye walked to the kitchen while brushing his teeth, "I'm going to see my brother-in-law today."
Yunli: "?"
Yunli: "You changed your tune very quickly."
"..." Yun Ye was embarrassed to say that Fu Shize wanted to give him a drone.
Yun Ye: "I asked my brother-in-law yesterday. I'm going to go find him to get the drone today."
Yunli frowned: "Isn't it very late when you left my room?"
Yun Ye glanced at his phone: "It was about two o'clock at that time, and my brother-in-law wasn't asleep yet."
"Go and brush your teeth." Yunli drove him out of the kitchen and mixed the rice porridge in the casserole with a spoon. The arc disappeared in just a second, and she stared at it for a while.
Since the two have been together, Fu Shize has been in good condition in front of her.
Yunli was calm and composed when getting along with classmates and friends, and Yunli didn't want to try to inquire about his past.
She had asked several times during her previous relationship, but Fu Shize seemed reluctant to talk, just like she didn't want others to mention her breakup.
She felt that Fu Shize would tell her everything when the time came.
He didn't take the initiative to say it, maybe he hadn't digested it well yet.
Yun Yongchang and Yang Fang also got up. They seemed to be used to Yun Li getting up early in the morning and didn't ask any questions.
Yun Ye had breakfast quietly with his parents, and the two elders kept looking back and forth at Yun Li.
After a long time, Yang Fang asked softly: "Lili, your father said that you are dating a boyfriend, please invite others to your house for a meal..."
"Let me ask him." Yunli responded absently.
Yun Ye changed his clothes and was about to go out when he saw Yun Li carrying two thermal bags: "You want a picnic later?"
"Well, lunch." Yunli responded casually.
Yun Ye said proudly: "Oh, I don't want to eat it."
"Who told you to give it to you?" Yunli stuffed the thermal bag into Yunye's hand, "I'll send you there. You can take the drone and go home by yourself later."
“…”
The car stopped at the Control Academy. Yun Ye followed Yun Li upstairs, and Fu Shi opened the door. The curtains in the office were wide open, and his figure was bathed in the sunlight, with a calm and gentle look on his face.
"Brother-in-law." Yun Ye shouted.
Fu Shi opened the long cabinet next to his seat and placed several drones inside: "Choose one."
Yun Ye's eyes shone and he came closer. He was not a cheap person: "I'll borrow it for a while and then return it."
"It's okay." Fu Shi leaned to the side, "It's a waste to leave it here."
Hearing what he said, Yun Ye was not shy.
Too embarrassed to pick up a new one, he just picked up the oldest one, which looked to be quite old and had a letter U printed on it that had lost some paint.
Yun Ye: "Can I take this?"
Fu Shize paused for a moment, and Yunli could see his expression change slightly, but then he nodded calmly.
"Let's go." Fu Shize picked up the peaked cap from the table and put it directly on Yunli's head. The cap was too big and blocked Yunli's sight.
He stood behind her, his fingers occasionally touching her occipital bone, silently adjusting the tightness for her.
The sun is bright and the wind is clear outside, and there are sometimes students having picnics on the lawn of Western University of Science and Technology. They found a shade spot, and Fu Shi turned his head and told Yunye how to control the drone.
The two tall men stood together. Fu Shi was wearing a loose white shirt and looked almost as boyish as Yun Ye.
Yun Ye thought very simply and used a drone to carry a postcard to Yin Yunyi in the teaching building. Postcards are of great significance to them. The two of them understood each other's feelings during the process of sending postcards.
This confession process is not earth-shattering.
However, Yunye thought about it and realized that Yin Yunyi would like it.
After Fu Shize taught Yun Ye the basic operations, he and Yun Li enjoyed the shade under the tree.
After finding a chance to be alone, Yunli asked: "Yunye told me today that you were still awake at two o'clock yesterday..."
He seemed in good spirits during the day.
So normal that no one would suspect anything wrong with him.
However, Yunli has also heard from others that the year after graduating with a PhD will be very stressful, and insomnia is common.
Fu Shize: "I can't sleep a little bit."
Yunli didn't ask, waiting for his next sentence. Fu Shize played with the controller and said casually: "Maybe writing a doctoral thesis is too stressful."
"Oh... How about I help you revise your doctoral thesis?" Yunli felt that there was nothing else she could do.
But then I thought about it, she was just a junior master's student from an ordinary undergraduate university, and she seemed to be overestimating her abilities when she tried to help a PhD student from a top university revise his graduation thesis.
After holding it in for a long time, Yunli said again: "I can help you draw a picture."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Yunli continued: "Maybe I can help you check the data?"
"Help you do the layout?"
"No matter what, I can help you check for typos."
Yunli also added a condition: "As long as your paper is not in English."
Fu Shize listened to her talk for a long time, then turned to ask her: "Have you finished writing your own?"
“…”
Yunli is very honest: "Although every time I open my graduation thesis, I can't squeeze out a few words for half a day, but I can stay in front of the computer for a whole day."
"But I don't lose sleep over it." She pointed out her advantages.
Yunli didn't feel like she was pretending to be fat and had to submit her master's thesis a few months later. Now she was eating well and sleeping well, and her condition was much better than that of Fu Shize.
Fu Shi was aware of her current situation and asked, "Don't you need me to help you?"
Yunli said seriously: "Finish your writing first."
She added calmly: "You can help me with all your strength."
Fu Shi leaned against the tree trunk, raised his head, and pointed his pupils in her direction: "Why do you feel like I have to write two articles?"
"No." Yunli leaned on his shoulder, "We obviously wrote it together."
Not long after Yunye's test flight, he realized that he was no longer a big light bulb and packed up his things and went home. Yunli gave him the car keys and, despite his strong objections, labeled the car as a trainee car.
…
Having been to the Control College many times, this was Yunli's first time interacting with people from Fu Shize's laboratory.
Several boys were a little shy when they saw her, so she unnaturally sat next to Fu Shize. The workstation was not small, and a chair could be pulled out to accommodate the two of them.
Fu Shi poured a glass of water, tested the temperature and put it in front of Yun Li. Then I opened a document and started writing with concentration.
Fu Shi gave her a laptop to use for her own work. She wrote a few master's thesis and glanced at it. Not long after she concentrated on it, her attention was distracted by the people coming and going around her.
Unconsciously, he looked at Fu Chize next to him.
For the first time, Yunli felt that she did have a boyfriend who was a top student.
Several times during the process, other people stood up to fetch water, and people from other laboratories came over to discuss problems. Yunli met their eyes, smiled, and lowered her head unnaturally.
Fu Shize seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and his eyes reflected the words on the screen.
Under his influence, Yun Li made up his mind and studied for an hour. Then he couldn't help but look at the WeChat message that had been flashing for a long time.
It's Fu Chize's account.
She clicked on it, and there was a small group for the laboratory, with new information popping up at intervals.
[Fuck! The senior brother brought his girlfriend here.]
[Senior brother has found a partner, and we finally have a way to survive!]
[Fuck, take a photo, no pictures, no evidence.]
[No, it’s too obvious. His girlfriend is sitting next to him.]
[My sister-in-law is so beautiful, she sits there like a female star.]
Seeing this, Yunli's face turned slightly red.
[Don’t keep saying, take pictures!]
[Come and see for yourselves. Just pretend to come to get things or discuss issues.]
“…”
Only then did she realize that those people just came to see her.
After learning this, Yunli was on pins and needles, and she tensed up every time a new person came in. Fu Shize suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked her, "What?"
“…”
Yunli's mouth seemed to be sewn shut. She shook her phone towards Fu Shize and sent a message: [It feels like it's not very convenient here... ]
Fu Shize: [Not very convenient]
Before Yunli finished his reply, he sent another sentence - [What to do?]
After reading the two pieces of information together, Yunli leaned back and looked at Fu Chize faintly.
[Then let’s go to the empty room next door?]
With the previous background, the whole story had an ambiguous meaning, and Yunli was confused for a while.
Agreeing is like taking the initiative to say: I am not here to accompany you to study hard today.
It seemed like he had other intentions.
Fu Shi stood up directly and took a laboratory notebook from the cabinet at the back. He stood next to the work station with a teasing look in his eyes.
Yunli stood up slowly and followed him with her notebook in her arms.
Not wanting to draw attention to herself, she kept a meter distance between them.
Fu Shize stopped, as if remembering something, and held her hand sideways. Yunli tried to break away, but he held her tightly.
He took her and continued walking out.
Yunli knew that the soundproofing of the door here was not good, so she didn't say anything along the way. Fu Shi brought her a small laboratory, with a console at the entrance, an office desk and a single sofa.
There were no windows in the room, which smelled a bit damp, so Fu Shi turned on the ventilation fan. The machine was old and the fan blades made a clanging sound.
Yunli had just put her notebook on the console when he suddenly pushed her against the door.
Her neck was pressed against the cold door, and his warm torso was in front of her. He was close to her right ear: "Is it convenient now?"
The sound was drowned in the noise of the ventilator, but it sounded like a thunderstorm in her ears.
Yunli already felt stuffy in the room, and now she felt the heat seeping directly to the top of her head.
She licked her lower lip and stared into his painted eyes. His lips were less than half a centimeter away from hers. Yunli finally turned her head away and blocked her lips with the back of her hand.
She blushed and said, "Go write a paper."
Fu Shize let go of her obediently, opened his notebook and sat down. He glanced at Yunli and urged her to sit in front of him with a nasal voice.
Yun Li was worried all the way, she pulled up a chair and sat next to him, supported the seat, moved her lips, and asked in a low voice: "If we come out so clearly and boldly, will your junior brother say that you are not doing your job properly?" Will they say that you are addicted?"
Fu Shi tilted his head: "Maybe."
"Then what should we do?" Yunli let out a long sigh, and the corners of his eyes drooped.
"It doesn't matter." Fu Shize said indifferently: "They are telling the truth."
“…”
At this time, Yunli only felt that Fu Shize's words were shocking, but the key was that he was not blushing and his heart was not beating.
She is more serious than him and has a lot of worries: "Then I won't come again. I don't want others to say bad things about you."
Yunli felt that this kind of thing was extremely easy to spread from one person to another, and could easily cause others to criticize Fu Shize.
She knew that Fu Shize didn't care about other people's opinions, but she cherished his feathers.
Seeing her cautious and serious look, Fu Shi asked, "You won't be delivering porridge either?"
"Give it back so that I can meet you in the morning." Yunli thought of work, "I plan to go to Yousheng's subsidiary, and they may let me join the company early. In this case, our opportunities to meet will be more limited. .”
Yunli made a plan: "Before that, I will come to you often."
"Before that, don't care about other people's opinions." Fu Shize put his upper arm on the armrest of the sofa, played with her hair, and said casually: "After that, you don't have to."
Yunli hesitated for a while: "With me by your side, will it affect your work?"
"I didn't know that just now." Fu Shize turned around and said to her, "While you were away, I wanted to see if you had sent me a message. It would easily interrupt the work."
If she were there, Fu Shize would not be easily distracted.
It was only a few months before he handed in the full manuscript of his doctoral thesis, and he had never had this idea before.
But thinking that people around him would like it more, he still wanted to get a nationally outstanding graduation thesis.
"But." Fu Shi put the notebook aside and pulled her to the other corner of the single sofa, "One thing now."
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Fu Shize bit her lips twice: "With just the two of us, we can't learn."
…
After sharing the porridge she brought at noon, Fu Shi felt a little sleepy. Because Yunli wakes up late, she doesn't have the habit of taking a nap.
Probably because he slept late last night, Fu Shi was on the sofa and fell asleep within a few seconds.
When Yunli looked away from the phone, he had already fallen asleep.
She stood up and closed the curtains without making a sound.
The shading rate of the curtain is not high, and his facial features can still be seen clearly with the light that passes through.
Yunli sat on the small chair in front of him, observing his expression.
Fu Shi's eyes were closed tightly, his brows were furrowed, and his slightly pursed lips seemed to indicate that he was in a bad dream state.
She reached out and stroked his brow, and his pale face finally relaxed a little.
Yunli looked at his sleeping face quietly. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, leaning on the cushion relaxedly.
The lower screen of the phone on the desktop lit up with a dynamic prompt, and the lock screen still showed their photo together.
Yunli unlocked her phone and slid to the WeChat interface. He pinned her window to the top, and the note was still Yunlili.
Opening the window, Yunli slid up and was startled.
On the day they reunited, Fu Shize sent her a WeChat message: [LiLi]
Scroll further up, and every day, Fu Shize would send her a message with only the word 'Lili'.
The responses are all red circles in front of the information, and the system prompts that the person is not the other party's friend.
Almost in disbelief, Yunli continued to scroll up, sliding her fingers many times but never reaching the end.
The room was so quiet that the only sound was his breathing. Yunli slid up tirelessly until the chat history returned to the time when they broke up.
She lowered her head and looked at the person sleeping next to her, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Until the alarm clock he set rang, Yunli pressed it.
Fu Shize stretched his body a little and naturally pulled Yunli onto him.
Yunli's voice was dull: "You used to send me a message every day?"
Fu Shi nodded lazily.
Yunli's hands grasped the hem of her clothes: "But didn't I delete you..."
Fu Shi held his hair and made a reasonable guess: "You might add me back secretly."
His tone was very relaxed: "Just like last time."
During the days and nights of that year and a half, he held on to hope every day.
Maybe next time, the response given to him on the interface will not be that cold prompt or that dazzling red.
