Although it seemed useless, Li Shu helped Shen Yiyou re-button it.
Shen Yiyou's face was drooping, his eyelashes were wet with tears, his lips were pursed, the tip of his nose and around his eyes were red.
He didn't stop Li Shu's movement, so Li Shu got up and took out a tissue, sat back silently, and helped Shen Yiyou dry his face full of tears.
When wiping, Li Shu's knuckles would inevitably touch Shen Yiyou's cheek, he would touch Shen Yiyou like this before, but now he can't do other things.
Shen Yiyou frowned slightly, Li Shu didn't like his frowning, so he rubbed it lightly for him.
Shen Yiyou didn't look at Li Shu, and raised his hand. It seemed that he wanted to push Li Shu away, but for some reason, when they were about to touch each other, he let go of his strength and clasped Li Shu's hand with his slender fingers, warming it. Touching Li Shu's palm lightly with his fingertips, he quietly pulled Li Shu's hand down, and then let go.
The room was silent, Li Shu put on his glasses again, looked at Shen Yiyou, feeling a little anxious.
Even the day when Shen Yiyou broke up in a fit of anger, it didn't seem as bad as today.
After all, Shen Yiyou didn't cry at that time, and he looked reasonable, but Li Shu was angry for an hour, and even said a few angry words to Shen Yiyou on the spot, telling Shen Yiyou to leave if he wanted to, and don't regret it when he left.
In fact, the one who regretted it soon was Li Shu, even though he was not willing to admit it until now.
Li Shu was angry, he didn't like Shen Yiyou breaking away from his embrace, he didn't like seeing Shen Yiyou treat him coldly, he didn't like Shen Yiyou packing his luggage with his back to him, and taking away all the things in his house, and he hated listening to Shen Yiyou say " I don't think we're a good fit."
There is nothing inappropriate between him and Shen Yiyou, he hopes that Shen Yiyou can wake up, don't fabricate the facts, don't be angry with him, but he doesn't want Shen Yiyou to go away for a step or a second.
From the moment he hung up on the call from Shen Yiyou's girlfriend to the time he met in the capital for more than 800 hours, every waking moment, Li Shu secretly searched for evidence that Shen Yiyou was actually just throwing a tantrum, in order to dispel this The second breakup was judged invalid.
He believes that a serious relationship must have a clear beginning and a clear end.
Li Shu kept searching for key words in the Silicon Valley Love Bible, intending to find a professional definition for couples breaking up, and show it to Shen Yiyou, so that Shen Yiyou can be a responsible person.
On the way to find Shen Yiyou, Li Shu's first flight was from Los Angeles to S City.
He meticulously studied the five chapters of the book, carefully read the basic theories of social psychology including attraction and communication and getting along skills, and marked a series of notes.
After landing in City S, he immediately discovered that Shen Yiyou had gone to the capital.
Li Shu analyzed Shen Yiyou's trajectory, and used some necessary means, and finally let Irene book the hotel where Shen Yiyou checked in, and bought the nearest flight ticket to the capital.
The second part of the voyage lasted only two hours, and Li Shu skipped through Chapter 8, Love, and Chapter 9, **. The reference part is recorded.
While waiting for the elevator downstairs in the hotel, Li Shu received a call from Shen Yiyou, without saying a few words, Shen Yiyou told him to turn around.
Li Shu did as he did, and the unfortunate thing happened.
He suddenly forgot all the excerpts from the love bible and the communication skills he had learned on the spur of the moment.
After seeing Shen Yiyou.
If Li Shu, who lacks adjectives, had to describe it, he would say that Shen Yiyou had a small and beautiful face, with skin as fair as snow.
Different from Li Shu's blurry eyes with poor eyesight, Shen Yiyou's eyes are like expensive jewels in the medieval crown, and his lips are full and soft petals.
The first time Li Shu saw Shen Yiyou on the terrace in the evening, Shen Yiyou was standing in the corner, with the decorated lights flickering on and off, covering him, Li Shu became out of his mind, and could no longer see others.
The three years of falling in love with Shen Yiyou were the happiest and most dreamy days in Li Shu's life.
It usually takes a long time to travel from San Francisco, or other places where Li Shu works, to City S where Shen Yiyou is located. Li Shu had never experienced the joy of flying before, he felt that it only meant mobile office, until one day, a flight of more than ten hours meant that he would soon be able to see Shen Yiyou.
When Shen Yiyou cried and asked Li Shu if he could stop doing this, Li Shu thought maybe Shen Yiyou still didn't understand, Li Shu couldn't do anything to him that he didn't want to do.
No matter whether Shen Yiyou wanted to break up, get back together, kiss and go to bed, or wanted Li Shu to leave immediately, Li Shu couldn't really refuse.
Shen Yiyou doesn't need to cry.
Amidst Shen Yiyou's slightly trembling breathing, Li Shu concentrated on thinking of a way to make Shen Yiyou stop crying, and finally remembered some key words in the book.
"Express sympathy and concern."
"Active listening."
Etc., etc.
However, before Li Shu could express his concern, Shen Yiyou raised his eyes and looked into Li Shu's eyes. Perhaps because he was crying too hard and couldn't concentrate quickly, Shen Yiyou looked at him for a few seconds, then turned his head again.
Li Shu really wanted to touch him or hug him, but he raised his hand and put it down again. Because Shen Yiyou might not like this, Li Shu thought.
"You..." Shen Yiyou opened his mouth and stopped after saying a word.
There was a strong nasal sound in his voice, his breathing trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears.
Li Shu had no choice but to repeat: "Don't cry."
They sat for a long time, and the silence in the room seemed to come to an end every minute, but it continued to extend.
Finally Li Shu broke the silence, he said: "I don't want to break up with you."
Even he knows that whether he wants to break up or not is of no reference value to Shen Yiyou.
"I don't want to break up with you." Li Shu emphasized it again, as if bluffing.
He asked Shen Yiyou: "What do you want?"
Shen Yiyou glanced at him again, Li Shu knew that he might be self-indulgent, but he still seemed inspired, and said to Shen Yiyou: "I can give you anything."
"I have everything you want," he asked one after another. "What do you want?"
He said his degree, his stocks, companies, real estate, and airplanes. Li Shu reported all the valuable things he could think of to Shen Yiyou one by one until Shen Yiyou interrupted him.
"Li Shu," Shen Yiyou looked at him and said to him, "Okay."
"Don't report it." Shen Yiyou tugged on Li Shu's wrist, as if he thought Li Shu was funny, so he pursed his lips imperceptibly. But the smile disappeared quickly, leaving no trace.
"I don't need all of these." Shen Yi said.
After a long time, Shen Yiyou said, "I used to want you to be satisfied with me, or to care about me a little more. But it's hard, you can't learn it, I don't want to say it every time, and I don't want to force you every time, so I don't want to Again-".
"—I care about you." Li Shu couldn't help interrupting him, "I'm not dissatisfied."
Shen Yiyou looked at Li Shu and said "En".
Li Shu stared at Shen Yiyou's face, and felt that Shen Yiyou still had a lot to say, but maybe Li Shu's expression was too ugly, and Shen Yiyou was very kind, so he didn't say any more.
