On Saturday afternoon, Fu Shitian was picking up the plastic bag on the urinal and preparing to take it to the bathroom to throw it away when the text message alert sounded. Her heart trembled, and she immediately quickened her movements, carrying the garbage bag to the bathroom and throwing it into the trash can. Then, she closed the door and took out her mobile phone with her clean left hand.
I turned on the screen and saw the message notification. It was indeed a text message from Shi Yi.
Shi Yi said: "The interview is over, it should be OK. If it goes well, the list will be announced tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
This simple sentence made Fu Shitian feel like she had come out of the water and breathed some fresh air. She typed clumsily with her left hand: "That's good. There will be no problem. Don't worry. Have something delicious tonight and treat yourself."
Shi Yi quickly replied: "It's not good to be alone."
Fu Shitian could even imagine how Shi Yi lowered her eyebrows and said this in a calm tone. She always acted coquettishly without showing any emotion.
She couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to type, she glanced down at the trash can at her feet containing the bag of feces and urine she had just thrown in. Her eyes slowly dimmed again.
She spelled it out letter by letter: "Wait until I get back tomorrow."
When I go back tomorrow, what next
She washed her hands with soap, clasped her hands together, and rubbed them vigorously, mechanically, and repeatedly, until her hands turned red and the wound from the knife cut yesterday opened again, but she was unaware.
Shi Yi will go to Haicheng, to the vast world that should belong to her. She will live a good life. She should live a good life.
And what about her? Where is her world? Can she still accompany Shi Yi to Haicheng, to the future they promised? She stared at the trash can in a trance.
"What are you doing lying there? I want to get up and drink some water." The old man urged in the ward.
Fu Shitian came back to his senses, bit his lip, turned off the faucet, opened the door and went out.
The blood that oozed from the knuckles was quickly washed down by the water and washed into the sewer, disappearing. No one cared.
In the evening, the sky was gloomy. Fu Jiantao came to deliver food. The TV news was broadcasting that the 23rd typhoon of this year was coming.
Fu Jiantao showed concern for her: "See if the train has stopped running and if you want to change your ticket."
The old man instructed Fu Shitian to help her put the small table in a comfortable position for her, and said nonchalantly: "If you stop, just stay for two more days. It's just right for you to go back for two days. Didn't you say you were busy?"
Fu Shitian paused for a moment, and Fu Jiantao immediately retorted: "That's impossible. The child still has to go to school. Isn't there an exam in two weeks?"
Fu Shitian said "hmm" very softly. He was talking about the judicial examination.
The old man's face was stern, and he said with disgust: "Hey, I said that it's useless for girls to study too much. Now I can't even find someone to help me. It's okay now, but it won't be okay when you get married. Women should still take care of the family. It's not right to not take care of the housework." www.
Fu Shitian placed the chopsticks and food in front of the old woman: "Grandma, eat." She hoped that eating would make her talk less.
But the old man took a piece of food with chopsticks and continued to nag: "Although we will recruit him in the future, he is a grown man after all, you still have to give priority to him, men are responsible for the outside and women are responsible for the inside. He is here to support the family, you have to know your limits."
Fu Shitian's temples were throbbing, and her jawline was tense from exertion. Her uncle told her not to get excited anymore. There was no point in getting angry with her. She tried to convince herself, holding the lunch box, and eating in silence.
In hot weather, the smell of urine from the urinal under the bed permeated the air. She listened to the old man's long lecture, eating her meal numbly, not knowing whether she was eating food or something else.
I couldn’t breathe, and my vision kept going dark.
Shi Yi. Shi Yi. She silently recited this name in her heart, and what came to her mind were her clear eyes, white hands, and the always clean and fresh smell on her body.
She couldn't imagine Shi Yi standing here, couldn't imagine Shi Yi living such a life.
unimaginable.
She was lost in thought - how should she break up with Shi Yi? Just thinking about this made her heart empty.
She couldn't let Shi Yi's exam be affected, so she had to do it after the judicial examination. But she couldn't think of a so-called "appropriate" way.
How could they break up? There was no proper way to break up.
She was in the hospital, unable to cry or laugh, and she held on until Sunday. She followed the crowd into the train station, into the waiting hall, and onto the train. She sat there in a daze for an unknown amount of time. It was only then that she woke up.
She hurriedly picked up her bag and got off the bus. Suddenly she remembered that it was getting late, so she quickly took out her cell phone to check the messages.
Shi Yi didn't send her a message.
It's evening. Is the list not out yet
She was worried and wanted to check the school’s official website herself, but she didn’t know whether it was because the station was too remote or the cell phone signal was too poor, so she couldn’t refresh the webpage.
She had no choice but to put away her phone, calm herself down, and walk towards the exit.
Twenty minutes later, she got off the bus at the bus stop near her rental house and walked along the non-motorized vehicle lane to the overpass. The typhoon seemed to have affected Shanghai as well. It started to drizzle, and some people were already holding umbrellas under the overpass. With a casual glance, she saw a familiar figure passing by her sight.
Fu Shitian looked carefully—it was Zhang Lulu.
Zhang Lulu didn't hold an umbrella, and seemed to be walking in a hurry, with a sense of anxiety in her figure. She walked quickly, turned a corner, and turned into the alley leading to her rental house that she and Shi Yi had walked through countless times.
For no reason, Fu Shitian's heart suddenly began to beat faster, and she felt extremely panicked. She subconsciously looked at the intersection where Zhang Lulu disappeared and jogged. Her mind kept flashing back to the battle they had just fought with the school, the phone call from Shi Yi when the counselor called her away, and Zhang Lulu's impatient figure just now...
Impossible, it's just a coincidence, don't think too much. She tried her best to suppress the terrible premonition in her heart.
Panting and weak limbs.
She rushed into the rental building and trotted up the stairs, step by step, breathing so fast that she felt like vomiting.
There was only one corner and a dozen stairs left when she heard Zhang Lulu's angry voice: "It's against the rules for the school to do this! This is unfair! Shi Yi, this is pure retaliation!"
"With your grades, there's no way you can't get in. Shi Yi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to end up like this."
"Let's write a letter of complaint! Shi Yi, let's report it, let's report it again!"
Fu Shitian's legs went weak and he failed to step on the stairs and fell sideways.
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and the sound of a backpack strap hitting the stair railing were heard together.
Shi Yi's expression changed almost at the same moment. He pushed away Zhang Lulu who was blocking the door and ran quickly towards the stairs.
Fu Shitian lay on the stairs, seemingly unable to get up. She looked up at Shi Yi, her face pale and her eyes red, but she didn't cry out in pain. Instead, she asked her cautiously with a little pleading, "Shi Yi, what did she mean by that?"
Shi Yi's heart felt like it was shattered by something.
She choked up, avoided her eyes, and didn't answer directly. She just knelt on one leg, picked her up, and asked gently: "Where did you fall? Are you okay? Can you stand up?"
Tears welled up in Fu Shitian's eyes. She pulled down Shi Yi's hand with her broken right hand and looked at Shi Yi stubbornly, wanting an answer from her.
Shi Yi still didn't answer her. He hugged her and said, "I'll pick you up."
Fu Shitian collapsed and hugged her tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, his whole body trembling.
She was crying, but not a sob escaped her.
People began to look around in the corridor, and Zhang Lulu stood at the stairs, at a loss as to what to do.
She saw Shi Yi take off the cold mask he wore when facing her, his brows softened, and he hugged Fu Shitian tightly.
She coaxed her: "It's no big deal, Tiantian."
"it's not a big deal."
"I can pass the exam on my own."
Fu Shitian's back trembled even more violently.
Zhang Lulu felt a lump in her throat. She vaguely saw two little animals hugging each other for warmth in the snow.
So desperate.
So stubborn and warm.
