At 7:45 the next morning, Shi Yi, Chen Xizhu, and Yin Fanlu arrived outside Fu Shitian's community early. It was not convenient to park for a long time in front of the community gate, so Shi Yi drove the car forward and stopped at a temporary stop.
Chen Xizhu sent a text message to Fu Shitian, telling her that they had arrived and that she could come down anytime when she was ready. Fu Shitian replied almost immediately, saying that she had also come down and was walking out, almost reaching the gate of the community.
Shi Yi and Chen Xizhu lowered the car windows and looked outside. Soon, they saw Fu Shitian gracefully appearing at the gate of the community holding a water-blue parasol.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans. Her fine chestnut hair was tied into a small bun on top of her head, revealing her slender snow-white neck. She was as pure and beautiful as an orchid bamboo standing upright in the morning sun with its first dew hanging on it.
Shi Yi couldn't take his eyes off her. Chen Xizhu teased, "Shi Yi, did you two secretly contact each other yesterday? You are wearing similar clothes today. You seem to be in sync with each other."
Shi Yi was also wearing a white T-shirt and jeans today, but unlike Fu Shitian's beauty, Shi Yi looked more imposing, cool and dignified against the backdrop of such clean colors, just like a flower on a high mountain.
"When traveling in the summer, five out of ten people will dress like this." She retracted her eyes, looked at the front windshield, and said indifferently.
Chen Xizhu turned his head to look at her, but found that the corners of her lips were slightly raised. Tsk! You are so reserved, just pretend. Chen Xizhu smiled secretly in his heart.
She saw Fu Shitian seemed to be looking for them, so she leaned out of the car window and called Fu Shitian: "Shitian, here!"
Fu Shitian looked over when he heard the voice, smiled, and quickened his pace towards them.
"Sorry, I'm late." She stood by the car, folding her umbrella and apologized softly. The car window was open, and she could easily see that there was no one in the passenger seat. Was there a seat reserved for her
Shi Yi looked straight ahead without giving her any look.
"No, we left early because we were afraid of traffic jams." Chen Xizhu smiled and said, "Come on, give me your bag and get in the car."
Fu Shitian handed the backpack containing spare clothes to Chen Xizhu, put his hand on the door handle, and his heart beat rapidly.
Shi Yi seemed puzzled by her slow movements, and finally turned his head to look at her, his beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, with a hint of urging.
Fu Shitian's heartbeat quickened, but she felt calmer. She exerted her strength, gently opened the car door, and got in.
There was no car fragrance or any extra decorations in the car. It was clean, fresh and tidy, which was Shi Yi's usual style. Fu Shitian closed the car door, pulled the seat belt and fastened it, and all his movements were unconsciously light.
I felt as cramped as when I first rode in Shi Yi’s car.
Shi Yi didn't notice it, but just glancing at her sitting in her driver's seat, sitting next to her, her heart couldn't help but soften. She moistened her throat, put the car in gear, and calmly reminded: "If the seat back is uncomfortable, you can adjust it."
Fu Shitian grabbed the seat belt in front of him and replied softly, "Okay, it's okay, just fine."
Shi Yi didn't say anything else, drove forward, turned right and merged into the traffic.
Yin Fanlu was concerned about Fu Shitian: "Shitian, have you eaten?"
Shi Yi said that most of the apartments in Fu Shitian’s community are residential apartments, and opening fire may not be allowed.
Fu Shitian turned his head and replied: "I have eaten. How about you?"
Chen Xizhu didn't know whether to praise Shi Yi or insult him, so she replied, "We've eaten it too. Shi Yi cooked it himself. It's lean meat porridge, and it tastes much better than I thought." She pointed to the food box on her lap and said regretfully, "We were worried that you wouldn't have time to eat it, so we packed a portion for you. It looks like you don't need it anymore."
Fu Shitian was surprised. He looked at Shi Yi, then at the food box on Chen Xizhu's lap, and felt warm and regretful in his heart.
"I just ate a little bread, and I thought I'd buy some hot soy milk from a breakfast shop on the way to warm my stomach." She endured the heat on her face and pretended to be calm and added: "It's just right, let me try it."
The corners of Shi Yi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Chen Xizhu told Fu Shitian not to be greedy and overeat, and handed him the food box. Fu Shitian took it and sat back up. Shi Yi immediately suppressed his lips and showed no expression.
"Can we eat in the car?" Fu Shitian tilted his head and asked Shi Yi.
Shi Yi said "hmm" lightly.
You can. The words Shi Yi answered her a long time ago suddenly echoed in her ears. Fu Shitian turned back to look at the lunch box, with a little tenderness in his eyes, a little bitter, and a little sweet.
She opened the lunch box and took a sip of the porridge with the big straw they provided her.
The temperature was just right, the saltiness was just right, it was fresh and flavorful without being greasy. The heat was a little overcooked, and the rice grains were a little overcooked, but it was just right for someone with a bad stomach like her.
Before she could praise it, Chen Xizhu asked first: "How does it taste?"
Fu Shitian licked the taste between his lips and teeth, lowered his head, and answered seriously: "It's delicious."
Chen Xizhu was dissatisfied: "A professional is just given three words? Just perfunctory! Shi Yi, don't you think so?"
Fu Shitian followed her words and couldn't help but look at Shi Yi again.
The traffic light was about to turn red, Shi Yi slowed down, held the steering wheel with one hand and said: "It's okay."
"Hey, why don't you cooperate with me?" Chen Xizhu said disdainfully, "There's no tacit understanding at all."
Yin Fanlu sneered, and Shi Yi also smiled faintly. It was very light, but very real, shining in the golden morning light.
For a moment, Fu Shitian forgot to blink, her heart beating with blood. This was the most genuine and gentle smile she had seen on Shi Yi's face since they met again.
Was it an illusion? She didn't seem as cold as before, but Fu Shitian was not sure.
The car stopped. Shi Yi seemed to notice her long gaze and turned his head to look at her.
Fu Shitian was caught off guard and his eyes met hers. She was stunned for a moment, then, enduring the rapid beating of her heart, she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Shi Yi looked at her deeply for two seconds, pursed his lips, said nothing, and turned his head back.
Fu Shitian was a little embarrassed.
She stopped smiling and looked away, but inadvertently noticed that Shi Yi's ears, exposed in the morning light, were particularly red.
Is Shi Yi hot
Fu Shitian hesitated for a moment and did not take the initiative to talk to her, nor did he dare to rashly help her lower the air conditioner. He turned his head back dutifully, biting the straw, his heartbeat becoming heavier.
Shi Yi glanced at her quiet profile, moved her lips, and tried to say something, but in the end she remained silent. The green light came on, she started the car, and was on the road again.
Shi Yi barely spoke for the next hour or so. Chen Xizhu and Yin Fanlu were chatting with Fu Shitian, so the atmosphere in the car was not dull.
Shi Yi remained expressionless, but he was actually paying attention to the information revealed by Fu Shitian during their conversations with Chen Xizhu and Yin Fanlu.
More than an hour passed unknowingly, and the car arrived at a free parking area outside Huizhou Ancient Town. Shi Yi parked the car in the garage, and the four of them prepared to walk to the parking lot entrance to wait for the battery car sent by the B&B to pick them up and take them to the B&B to store their luggage.
The sun is already quite scorching at around nine o'clock in the midsummer.
Chen Xizhu and Fu Shitian opened their umbrellas as soon as they got out of the car. Shi Yi turned off the engine, unbuckled her seat belt, and instinctively prepared to reach for the glove box to get the parasol. Suddenly, she remembered something, paused for a moment, and then took her hand back as if nothing had happened, turned around, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Outside the car, Chen Xizhu and Yin Fanlu were naturally standing under the same umbrella. Fu Shitian was standing alone beside them, holding an umbrella.
"Let's go." Shi Yi took her bag from Yin Fanlu and carried it with one hand.
Chen Xizhu was surprised: "Shi Yi, you didn't bring an umbrella?"
Shi Yi was calm: "Yeah, I forgot. I applied sunscreen, it's okay."
Chen Xizhu subconsciously looked at Fu Shitian. Fu Shitian, holding the umbrella handle, had already taken the initiative to walk towards Shi Yi.
"Shall we go together?" She stood beside Shi Yi, her knuckles gripping the umbrella handle tightly, but her words came out softly.
Shi Yi looked at her without saying anything. He raised his hand and held her hand on the umbrella handle, which was considered as his tacit consent.
The warmth of their skin touching each other came from the back of her hand, and Fu Shitian's heartstrings seemed to be plucked heavily. She pulled her hand away and handed the umbrella to Shi Yi, her breathing a little disordered.
Shi Yi tilted the umbrella a little to the right, completely covering Fu Shitian in the shadow, and his heart was filled with joy.
She was sure that Fu Shitian's emotions had become much more open today, not as cold and unpredictable as before.
"Let's go then?" Chen Xizhu spoke at the right time.
This time, Shi Yi responded with "hmm", as if with a hint of smile.
The four of them walked towards the entrance of the parking lot, two in front and two behind. Fu Shitian and Shi Yi were under the same umbrella, only a fist's distance apart.
They walked in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit dry. When Fu Shitian hesitated to say something, Shi Yi took the initiative to speak: "Can you drink now?"
Just now in the car, when Chen Xizhu, Yin Fanlu and Fu Shitian were chatting, she heard Fu Shitian say that after she graduated and before opening a restaurant, she had been doing sales work.
Fu Shitian was slightly surprised, but somewhat relaxed, and answered frankly: "I can drink quite well. But I rarely drink now."
"Because of the gallstones?"
“I guess so.”
"Did you have surgery?"
"Um."
"That's when we should pay more attention."
Fu Shitian's heart softened. Shi Yi, is this considered caring for her? This was the first time they had such a calm conversation since their reunion.
"What about you? Do you have to drink often at work?" she asked back naturally.
Shi Yi replied: "Yes, at the beginning. Now it's less, and I only consider drinking a little bit of valuable wine."
"Like the last time in Nanyuan?"
Shi Yi tilted his head to look at her, his eyes suddenly softened, and said, "It counts, and it doesn't count."
That time had more important value.
Fu Shitian was dazzled by her softness and was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Chen Xizhu turned around and called them: "Shi Yi, is this Yuxie Water House? The car seems to have arrived."
Shi Yi raised his voice to answer her: "Yes, yes."
"Come on, let's walk faster." She changed the subject.
Fu Shitian looked at her profile which had returned to its cold and indifferent state, his eyelashes trembled, and he felt upset and at a loss as to what to do.
The author has something to say: I overestimated myself and didn't write it, woo woo woo.
Shi Yi: Why hasn't she explained to me yet
Don't tease me yet
