When Xia Yunian sent the secret message, Fu Shizheng had already gotten up and was leaning on the sofa in the ward, casually flipping through magazines.

The doctor just came to check the room and said that he arranged for Fu's father to have a brain CT scan at nine o'clock. After Fu's father woke up and saw Fu Shicheng, he didn't look good. He scolded him over and over again, but Fu Shicheng said nothing. , let his father say.

He glanced at the phone screen, Xia Yunian pasted the gift card on the candy box, took a photo and sent it: "Thank you, Mr. Fomero, the candy is very sweet."

Fu Shicheng replied: "Yes."

Xia Yunian: "Tonight there will be a Halloween masquerade party in the playground in the school center."

Fu Shicheng: "Do you want to go? This dance is held every year. It's nothing new. You didn't go last year?" Xia Yunian: "No, I can't find a partner. I don't want to go alone, and I don't want to dance with strangers. If only Mr Fomero was at school."

Fu Shizheng twitched the corners of his lips, and the elementary school boy tried to test him several times, wanting to meet him, but he had a lot of thoughts.

Fu's father talked to himself for a long time, but when he saw that Fu Shizheng was staring at the phone and laughing instead of responding, he lost his temper: "Did you hear what I told you? I'll let you change your graduate student to major in business, and you'll inherit mine in the future." Company, you..." "Let's talk about it later."

Fu Shicheng interrupted his father with a perfunctory tone.

"What do you mean later?" Father Fu asked angrily.

Fu Shizheng raised his eyelids: "You still have a son, you just let him take over your company."

"How can Xiaohui compare with you? He's not my own."

Fu's father was even more angry, and before Fu Shicheng could say anything, he asked him, "Are you in a relationship? Where did you find someone? What do you do at home?" Fu Shicheng frowned, feeling bored, and deliberately said: "Dad Don't inquire so much, I'm afraid you will be even more angry if I tell you."

Father Fu's face darkened: "Then who exactly did you find?" Fu Shicheng said casually, "You found a boy."

Fu's father almost had another high blood pressure attack and turned away in anger. Fu Shicheng didn't say a word, no matter how much his father scolded him.

After that, Father Fu's company came to visit one after another, so Father Fu held back his anger and turned his attention away from Fu Shicheng.

Father Fu's personal female secretary also came, and accompanied her to take CT scans after busy work. As if she was a hostess, Fu Shizheng simply stepped aside and didn't bother to intervene.

At noon, Fu Shihui appeared outside the ward, and was with his mother. The female secretary was feeding Fu's father. The two women collided head-on, and a big battle was imminent.

Fu Shicheng went out directly.

Fu Shihui also didn't go in outside the door. The noise in the ward was shut behind the door. Fu Shihui leaned against the door and smiled: "I called my mother again last night and said that your father is dying. You are busy playing filial piety in front of the hospital bed, if she doesn't come back, she will lose her share in this family, so she bought the earliest flight ticket early in the morning and flew back, just came directly from the airport."

Fu Shicheng ignored him and walked away.

With those two women inside, he is no longer needed, and he doesn't need to ask for leave.

Xia Yunian was in the library all day, and in the afternoon she received a WeChat message from Fang Xinyi, asking him if he would go to the masquerade party.

Xia Yu read back: "I won't go."

Although he told Fu Shicheng about this, Fu Shicheng didn't want to go, and he didn't want to join in the fun.

Fang Xinyi: "Go, go, do me a favor."

Xia Yunian: "What?" Fang Xinyi: "Pretend to be my boyfriend and help me reject someone."

Fang Xinyi talked all kinds of things, but finally Xia Yunian reluctantly agreed. In the evening, she made an appointment with her in the cafeteria to have dinner together.

"It's the vice chairman of the student union in our department. He officially confessed his love to me a few days ago. I said I don't like him, and he also said let me try it. I can only say that I have a boyfriend. He doesn't believe it, so you Do me a favor."

Fang Xinyi talked to Xia Yu while eating.

Xia Yunian asked her: "What if someone misunderstands you?" "I just want him to misunderstand, what's the matter, anyway, you are single," Fang Xinyi paused, "Are you afraid of being misunderstood? I haven't asked yet." What about you? Have you joined the Astronomy Club?" "Yes."

Xia Yu said.

Fang Xinyi said "ah": "Congratulations, have you made any progress with the male god?" "He's not very close."

Xia Yunian said truthfully that Fu Shicheng in reality is not as easy to get along with as on the virtual social software.

"I said it earlier, the flower of Gaoling, you can't play with it from a distance, it's because you don't believe in evil.

Forget it, I don't care about your business, but you can just help me this time, anyway, I'm just sending someone away, and it won't reach the male god's ears anyway, so you have nothing to worry about. "

Fang Xinyi pleaded repeatedly.

Xia Yunian had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

After dinner, he accompanied Fang Xinyi back to change clothes and waited downstairs in the dormitory.

Fu Shizheng just came back from the cafeteria, and saw Xia Yunian sitting by the flower bed outside the girl's building from a distance, stopped in his footsteps, picked up his phone and sent a secret message.

Fu Shicheng: "Where are you?" Xia Yunian: "At school, what's the matter?" Fu Shicheng: "Where is the school?" Xia Yunian: "It's downstairs in the dormitory building in the East District, waiting for friends to go make up together prom."

Xia Yunian told the truth.

Fu Shicheng: "Didn't you say that you don't want to go without a partner?" Xia Yunian: "I went with my friend."

Fu Shicheng put away his cell phone, turned around and went into the dormitory.

Xia Yunian was inexplicable, but Fu Shicheng's tone...why was it a bit fierce? Fang Xinyi went up for half an hour before coming down. She was wearing a black dress with a cloak, a wide-brimmed witch hat on her head, and witch makeup.

Xia Yunian was a little speechless: "Why do you dress up like this..." "Halloween must be like this to have an atmosphere," Fang Xinyi looked Xia Yunian up and down, not very satisfied with him, "Don't you put on makeup and change clothes?" "No."

"Then at least wear a mask, what does it look like with a plain face to the sky?"

Before Xia Yunian objected, Fang Xinyi ran back to the dormitory to get a mask and put Xia Yunian on her face for a comparison: "That's all."

Xia Yunian took it off and took a look. It was a black and gold peacock feather mask. The feathers sprinkled with gold powder on the tail were very gorgeous, but it was too coquettish. He didn't want to wear it. Fang Xinyi reminded him: "You wear it, you Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by others? Wearing it will make others know who you are."

Xia Yunian hesitated for a moment, and put the mask on her face.

When Fu Shicheng returned to the dormitory, Lu Weize was still playing games.

Fu Shizheng saw the mask hanging by the table at a glance, it was specially bought by Lu Weize during the masquerade last year: "Lend me this."

Lu Weize raised his head, looked at Fu Shicheng and then at the mask, with a ghostly expression on his face: "Are you...going to a masquerade party?" He wanted to pull Fu Shicheng away for the past two years, but Fu Shicheng said, "Waste it!" Time" sent him away, is this year bewitched? Fu Shicheng said blankly, "It's not that you don't plan to go this year, so lend me."

"I didn't come back for two nights, and I borrowed this thing to go to the dance as soon as I came back, tsk tsk."

Lu Weize laughed enough, took off the mask and threw it over: "Go, go, the Great God has finally enlightened, when will my spring come, ah."

Fu Shicheng ignored him, Lu Weize's mask was a vampire that could cover his whole face, so ugly he could only make do with it.

"By the way, why is your voice hoarse? Are you going to play after you can't speak?" Lu Weize asked again.

Fu Shizheng took a sip of water. He didn't sleep well for two nights in a row. Last night, the cold wind blew on the balcony in the middle of the night. He woke up this morning with a hoarse voice, and now it's even worse.

Fu Shicheng didn't want to explain, so he changed into clothes he didn't wear often, put on his mask again, and went out again.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the central playground was full of loud music and bright lights.

All kinds of jack-o-lanterns are dotted throughout the venue, ghost catwalk performances are on the middle stage, and there are various stalls selling gadgets and food around.

There were people everywhere, most of them wore masks like Xia Yunian, and many of them were well-dressed like Fang Xinyi, filled with singing and laughter, and the young students were full of vitality, venting their excessive enthusiasm in this way energy.

Xia Yunian didn't quite adapt to this kind of atmosphere, she was bumped on the shoulder several times, and from time to time girls came up to him and wanted to exchange contact information, Xia Yunian declined embarrassingly, Fang Xinyi beside her was overjoyed: "You are too low-key, really In terms of appearance, you are inferior to male gods, you see so many people want to strike up a conversation with you wearing a mask."

Xia Yunian whispered, "It's because your mask is too eye-catching."

Fang Xinyi went to buy food, Xia Yunian stood outside and waited, and there was a new message from Fu Shicheng on the phone.

Fu Shicheng: "Are you in the central playground now?" Xia Yunian: "Yes."

He held up his phone, took a selfie wearing a mask and sent it: "Mr. Fomero keeps asking me where I am doing? Are you coming to see me?" Fu Shicheng: "Yes."

Xia Yunian froze for a moment, originally she was just teasing Fu Shicheng casually, but Fu Shicheng agreed.

... is he really coming? When Xia Yunian was in a daze, Fang Xinyi came over and took his hand, and led him to the side of a tree, where a tall and thin boy stood, staring at Xia Yunian who was walking hand in hand with Fang Xinyi.

Xia Yunian was extremely embarrassed, Fang Xinyi took the hands of the two of them and shook them in front of the boy, saying, "You saw, this is my boyfriend."

The boy looked at Xia Yunian, and asked him unwillingly: "Which department and level are you from?" Xia Yunian didn't want to say it, but Fang Xinyi answered for him: "What does this have to do with you, don't ask so many questions. .”

The boy stretched out his hand to pull Fang Xinyi: "Didn't we get along well before? You didn't say you had a boyfriend, so why are you with someone else all of a sudden..." Fang Xinyi avoided him, as if angry: "Don't be sentimental gone."

The screen of the phone in Xia Yunian's other hand lit up again, and Fu Shicheng's new message popped up: "I saw you."

He was startled, and immediately let go of Fang Xinyi's hand.

Fang Xinyi didn't understand, so she looked at him, Xia Yunian became more and more embarrassed, and the boy opposite also showed suspicion.

Fu Shicheng had already stepped forward, grabbed Xia Yunian's wrist, and pulled him to his side.
