After Fu Shitian calmed down, Shi Yi handed over the letter Fu Jianze left for her, which was buried at the bottom of her bag. Fu Shitian read it with red eyes, and personally repaired the paint on the tombstone that Shi Yi had not yet finished. She felt uncomfortable for a long time, and together with Shi Yi, she lit a stick of incense for him, bowed, and went down the mountain.
The sun evaporated the moisture in their eyes, and the mountain breeze blew away the heaviness of the journey. The traces of crying on Fu Shitian's face gradually disappeared. Walking to the middle of the mountain, turning in one direction, a wide view was ushered in. Under the morning sun, the whole mountain was shining with silver light, like a shining river. Fu Shitian was in the mood to chat and laugh with Shi Yi, and asked Shi Yi: "Guess what that is?"
Shi Yi looked at the smile in her eyes, and the dark clouds in his heart dissipated. She also smiled a little, stood still, holding the umbrella in one hand and opening the shoulder bag with the other, and replied calmly: "It should be a tree, right?"
Fu Shitian didn't keep the secret and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a loquat tree."
Shi Yi fumbled in the bag with one hand, "Why is it silver?"
"It's a reflective film, used to promote growth." Fu Shitian said: "Ningcheng's loquats are quite famous, but it's a pity that it's out of season now."
She invited: "Let's come next time in April or May. We can go in and pick loquats ourselves. They are big and sweet."
Next time. Shi Yi's smile deepened. She successfully pulled out the tissue with one hand, raised her hand and rubbed Fu Shitian's sweaty nose, and agreed: "Okay, I haven't tried it yet."
Fu Shitian's eyes were like water. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Meifen's loud voice came from the mountain road: "Tiantian! Xiaoshi~"
Shi Yi paused slightly, then pursed his lips. Without covering up, he helped Fu Shitian wipe the sweat from his temples before turning sideways to look at the source of the sound.
Not far away, Fu Jiantao, Wang Meifen and Song Yu were walking towards them carrying iron buckets and empty mineral water bottles.
Fu Shitian's ears turned red as he greeted them, "Uncle, you guys just came down too."
Fu Jiantao pretended not to see the kiss just now and replied: "The paper money burned for a little longer."
"Is your dad okay?"
Fu Shitian nodded gently, with no sign of anything unusual on his face.
Fu Jiantao looked at Shi Yi subconsciously.
Shi Yi's emotions were a bit complicated. She thought she was not a generous person, and she could not be as open-minded as before towards him who had blamed Fu Shitian. But seeing that he was now full of genuine concern, she did not want to make things difficult for Fu Shitian, so she clenched the tissue in her hand, barely suppressed her dissatisfaction, and nodded gently to him to reassure him.
Fu Jiantao's expression relaxed, and he was obviously relieved. He didn't notice Shi Yi's mood, and said nothing more. He took the empty basket from Fu Shitian and said, "Let's go, go down quickly, the sun is getting hotter and hotter."
Fu Shitian looked at his back, her eyes wavered, she lowered her eyes and smiled softly. She held Shi Yi's hand holding the umbrella, took the umbrella and said, "Let's go."
His voice rose softly, without any trace of gloom.
Shi Yi's heart couldn't help but soften.
Forget it. She sighed and laughed. If Lailai chose to forgive, then she could too.
Anyway, there would be no chance for them to hurt her again. Thinking this way, she walked towards Fu Jiantao and the others, shoulder to shoulder with Fu Shitian.

For the next whole day, the motorcade welcomed the bride, the bride was snatched away, and the bridal chamber was disturbed. Fireworks, firecrackers, and laughter filled the old bungalow of the Fu family.
The smile on Fu Shitian's face never left her face the whole day. Only during the dinner, when Fu Siyu came over with Song Yu's arm and said to Fu Shitian sincerely, "Sister, I'll toast you a glass of wine. Thank you, really," Shi Yi saw tears flashing in her eyes.
This time, she did not dissuade them. She looked at Fu Shitian with a gentle gaze as he clinked his glasses with Fu Siyu and Song Yu, then raised his head and drank them all in one gulp.
The last dessert was served, and the banquet was about to end. Outside the courtyard gate, fireworks began to be set off. With a roar, clusters of sparks cut through the darkness, rushed into the sky, and bloomed in the night sky.
Everyone looked up to watch the fireworks, but Shi Yi came close to Fu Shitian and asked her in her ear, "Do you prefer a Chinese wedding or a Western wedding?"
Fu Shitian looked down at her in astonishment. Under the dim light, there seemed to be stars twinkling in Shi Yi's eyes. In the midst of the uproar, Fu Shitian heard her heartbeat, which was faster and more passionate than fireworks. She bit her lip, dimples appeared, turned her eyes away, and replied with a dry throat: "I like them all."
As long as it's with you.
Shi Yi laughed, quietly held Fu Shitian's hand under the table, and said, "I'll remember that."
Fu Shitian didn't say anything, just looked at their clasped hands, her face had deep dimples, and he pressed his other hand on them, stroking them gently.
I'll wait for you, she promised in her heart.
Although, in her heart, she had already married Shi Yi.
*
At around eleven o'clock, after Fu Shitian sent the newlyweds to the airport and helped Fu Jiantao and Wang Meifen clean up the house, he finally took a shower and was able to go back to his room to rest.
Shi Yi came up earlier than her and had finished drying her hair. She was leaning against the back of the bed and checking work emails on her laptop. Fu Shitian saw that she was concentrating on her work and didn't call her. He wanted to quietly take the hair dryer and go to the next room to dry her hair.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yi was still distracted. His hands were still typing on the keyboard, his brows were furrowed, his face was serious, but his tone was somewhat soft. He reminded: "It's okay, just play it here."
Fu Shitian liked to watch her working, she was cool and domineering, and had a special kind of charm. She hesitated, but was reluctant to leave. She followed his instructions and sat on the other side of the bed with the hair dryer, plugged it in, and blew Shi Yi's hair sideways. Her eyes lingered on Shi Yi.
After blowing her hair for an unknown number of minutes, it was almost dry. Shi Yi seemed to have finished her work, closed her notebook and put it aside. She got out of bed and walked to where the suitcase was, opening the buckle while saying, "It's almost twelve o'clock."
Fu Shitian thought she was sleepy, so he turned off the hair dryer and coaxed her, "I'm done too."
Shi Yi didn't respond to her, but walked in front of her, bent his knees, squatted down, and held her left ankle.
"Shi Yi?" Fu Shitian was slightly stunned.
Shi Yi looked up at her, raised the corners of his lips, lowered his head, placed her left foot between his knees, and gently tied a red anklet around her ankle.
The anklet is slender and delicate, half of it is red rope and half of it is gold, with a hollow little rabbit hanging in the middle. Red and gold, overly ostentatious colors, embellish Fu Shitian's white and bony ankles, but they are not abrupt at all, but only make Fu Shitian's skin look more like cream, jade and porcelain, and connected to her straight and slender calves, even revealing a bit of sultry sexiness.
It really fits the bill.
Shi Yi relaxed his brows and eyes in satisfaction.
"A gift for Chinese Valentine's Day." She kissed Fu Shitian's knee, looked up at her, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Now it's tied up."
Fu Shitian's toes curled up unconsciously, and it felt like a bubble was expanding in her heart. She leaned forward, put her arms around Shi Yi's neck, and smiled, "I couldn't ask for more."
She was soft and charming, with an alluring fragrance. Shi Yi's throat moved, and he raised his chin to kiss her, but Fu Shitian didn't notice, stepped back, and said: "I have a gift for you too."
Shi Yi was a little surprised.
Fu Shitian stood up, walked quickly to the storage box, picked up a heavy paper bag and handed it to Shi Yi.
"Open it and take a look," she said.
Shi Yi was very surprised. Where did this bag come from? She had never seen it before.
Fu Shitian seemed to see through Shi Yi's doubts and said cunningly, "I asked Xiaoyu to bring it to me."
Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are quite good at hiding things from the world." Although he said this, the sweetness in his eyes was not concealed at all.
She took it with both hands, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, then lowered her head to open the bag.
Fu Shitian sat next to her and explained with curved eyes: "I want to give you a surprise."
Shi Yi hummed and laughed, saying nothing, concentrating on opening the presents.
There were two paper boxes in the bag. When one of the boxes was opened, there were beautifully arranged roses and chocolates. The chocolates were obviously custom-made, because on the outer paper, each piece had a clear picture of her drawn on it with the simplest lines.
With just a few strokes, the form and spirit are captured.
Shi Yi couldn't let it go: "Did you do it?"
Fu Shitian nodded.
"Where's the painting?"
“I drew that, too.”
Shi Yi raised his head suddenly, looking very surprised.
Fu Shitian felt embarrassed when being stared at, so she covered her eyes and asked unconfidently: "Don't they look alike?"
Shi Yi pulled her hand down and laughed softly: "They are so similar."
Compared to before, her painting skills have improved a lot.
Joy appeared in Fu Shitian's eyes: "That's good." She didn't tell her that, in fact, she was the only one who could draw.
Shi Yi said: "Thank you, I like it very much."
There is no greater joy for the gift giver than to receive recognition from the other party for the gift he gave. Fu Shitian smiled happily and urged expectantly: "There is another one."
Shi Yi was infected by her, his heartbeat became more excited than before, and he opened the second box with greater anticipation.
The second box was a little smaller than the first one. Shi Yi opened the wrapping paper and lifted the lid of the box. He saw that in the box decorated with a vast starry sky, there were nine small planet models with delicate texture and realistic details arranged according to their distance from the sun.
Delicate and dreamy.
Shi Yi looked at Fu Shitian unexpectedly. Fu Shitian grasped Pluto in his palm and said, "I also want to share my star with you."
“I want to share my universe with others.”
"I also want to share all the beauty in this world with you."
She clenched her five fingers, grasped Pluto, and exerted a little force. Shi Yi heard the quiet sound of raindrops coming from this asteroid and echoing in the entire room.
Shi Yi was rarely stunned. His usual calmness and composure disappeared. His eyes lit up and he subconsciously grabbed Neptune in his hand, looking at Fu Shitian with anticipation.
Fu Shitian's eyes were gentle and he nodded at her.
Shi Yi lowered her head and squeezed the star with a little force. The sound of the wind blowing through the wheat waves echoed in this sweet night and in Shi Yi's heart, completely disturbing her heartstrings.
Her heart felt hot, and she couldn't help but touch and grasp them one by one. The sound of waves, the sound of flowing streams, the chirping of cicadas and the singing of birds... all the beautiful sounds of the world - Lailai wanted to give them to her, Shi Yi understood.
She held the last Mercury closest to the sun and squeezed it gently. Unexpectedly, this time, the sound was not natural.
It was the sound of a harmonica, playing a familiar tune - "Spirited Away".
After a short piece of melodious music, there is a brief few seconds of white noise.
Shi Yi felt that at this moment his heart was like these planets, gently held in Fu Shitian's hands, trembling and expectant.
Finally, the white noise passed, and her soft and pleasant voice came up, and she said:
“Baby, I’m sorry, I’m a pig.
Thank you for taking me home."
The laughing words "Because I want to take you home" in my memory and the soft "I love you" from Fu Shitian in reality rang in my ears at the same time.
Fu Shitian held her hand and looked into her eyes, his eyes as clear as water.
Shi Yi's heart was finally completely gripped by this look and exploded.
She stared at Fu Shitian steadily, her throat was dry and astringent, her eyes were sore and swollen. She wanted to maintain a little reserve, but the corners of her lips were completely out of control.
"Suddenly breaking the rules like this." She stroked Fu Shitian's ear with her free hand and sighed in a low voice. It sounded like helplessness, but also like pampering.
Fu Shitian's ears were red as if they were about to bleed, and his eyes were full of tenderness. He promised: "I will try to make it a regular practice in the future."
Shi Yi's eyelashes trembled rapidly, and the hand that was stroking her ear slid to the back of Fu Shitian's head. Finally, she couldn't help herself, and held the back of her head and leaned over to kiss her.
Warm and affectionate.
Fu Shitian let out a moan, and soon obediently wrapped her arms around Shi Yi's neck, slightly opened her lips, and gave in to his will.
The desire for more filled Shi Yi's heart. Shi Yi hugged her, deepened the kiss, and pressed forward while kissing, laying Fu Shitian down on the bed.
"Baby, I love you too..." She kissed me so devoutly and so tenderly, but I had to tell her during the big move: "The sound insulation is not very good."
Sourness!
Fu Shitian was trembling all over, tears welled up in his eyes, but he could not utter anything except biting his lips and holding back his voice.
The roosters crowed at four o'clock in the morning. She and Shi Yi took another bath, and finally hugged each other, ending the day's fatigue and falling asleep contentedly.
She dreamed of Fu Jianze again.
This time, Fu Jianze was still sitting on the sickbed that she had dreamed of countless times. But this time, he was finally smiling.
He waved at her and she walked over hesitantly. He lifted her hand, placed his clenched hand on her palm, and put something in her palm.
Fu Shitian lowered his head and saw that it was a star.
Shining.
She looked up at Fu Jianze blankly. Fu Jianze looked at her with a smile, becoming more and more transparent until he disappeared.
The bed and the concrete room collapsed and disappeared, and in an instant, a dark and familiar road unfolded before her.
She looked around in panic, and unexpectedly saw Shi Yi looking at her tenderly with smiling eyes at the end of the road under the starlight.
She was stunned, unable to think normally, but she still instinctively and happily ran towards her with the star in her hand.
Step by step, the street lights along the street light up one by one.
Shi Yi opened his arms and held her tightly.
The lights are bright and the sky is full of stars.
Fu Shitian suddenly couldn't remember how dark this road once was.
"It doesn't matter. It's not important anymore." A voice said to her. She leaned over Shi Yi's shoulder and saw that it was Fu Jianze who was standing in mid-air and said this to her.
He waved at her, turned around, and stepped into the bright stars.
Goodbye, Dad.
This time, she said goodbye properly.
