The next day was Monday, and after the evening self-study, the Student Union Office had a regular meeting. The main content of this regular meeting was training by the Office Director Yuan Ning on how to write press releases. Sui Meng from the External Relations Department and the Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department brought a few young staff members to listen in and exchange feelings.
Shi Yi is also a member from the External Relations Department.
After the regular meeting, everyone packed up their things and retreated out of the classroom in groups of three or four, either surrounding the ministers or holding hands with their good classmates.
Seeing Shi Yi's unhurried attitude, Fu Shitian deliberately slowed down the process of packing his things, and dawdled until the end before leaving the classroom with Shi Yi.
The lights in the classrooms on both sides of the corridor were turned off, and everything was quiet. The main group was walking in front, talking and laughing, while Fu Shitian and Shi Yi fell behind, sitting quietly at a distance.
It doesn’t matter what you say, Fu Shitian was nervous in his heart, and quietly narrowed the distance between himself and Shi Yi.
"you… "
"you… "
Shi Yi's voice rang out in the air, almost overlapping with Fu Shitian's. Fu Shitian turned his head to look at Shi Yi, and Shi Yi also turned his head to look at her, and both of them were stunned.
"You speak first." Shi Yi's lips curled up slightly.
Fu Shitian lowered his head and smiled, then took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Shi Yi: "Want some candy? I was the first one to arrive in the classroom just now, and the director gave it to me as a reward."
She raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, as if she was offering a treasure. Shi Yi didn't like accepting gifts from others, but at this moment she couldn't refuse.
She asked, "Only one, won't you eat it?"
Fu Shitian could hear the hesitation in Shi Yi's words, half peeled off the candy wrapper, raised it a little and handed it to Shi Yi: "More than one, I've eaten some."
Shi Yi couldn't refuse the kindness, so he reached out to take the candy, slightly opened his lips and took a bite.
It's a soft candy. It's quite sweet if you chew it slowly.
Fu Shitian saw her moving her cheeks slightly, and she looked less alienated. Even without eating candy, he felt a sweetness in his throat.
"What did you want to say just now?" Fu Shitian asked after she finished eating.
Shi Yi recalled briefly and replied, "I want to ask you about the scout site on Saturday."
"Um?"
Shi Yi said: "Zhou Hushan and Green Island Beach are quite far from our school, and the distance between the two places is also far, so it will take a day to check out the locations. Is the time convenient for you?" Zhou Hushan and Green Island Beach were the two alternative locations they had chosen.
"I'm fine." She had already told Chen Xizhu that she would clear that day.
"Then there are two options. One is that we take the bus from school together. I have already checked the route. We have to change stations along the way. It takes about an hour from school to Zhouhushan, an hour and a half from Zhouhushan to Green Island Beach, and nearly an hour from Green Island Beach back to school. Do you get carsick?"
Fu Shitian was a little surprised and lacked confidence: "I'm fine, it's okay."
Shi Yi understood. So she suggested option 2: "I can also drive there. This way the time on the road will be much shorter and it should be more comfortable. But the premise is that you trust my driving skills."
Fu Shitian was more obviously surprised this time and asked, "Do you have a driver's license?"
Shi Yi said: "Well, I just got it three months ago."
Fu Shitian stopped talking. On the one hand, she felt that Shi Yi was amazing, but on the other hand, she felt that the sense of distance that had just disappeared was an illusion, and Shi Yi seemed to be far away from her again.
Shi Yi thought she was scared, so he compromised: "How about this, I'll ask a driver to drive us there, do you think it's okay?"
Fu Shitian came back to his senses and quickly explained: "No, no, I believe in your driving skills, no need to trouble me any more. If it's convenient for you, then thank you."
Shi Yi said before: "I haven't driven such a long distance since I got my driver's license. Is it okay?"
Her expression was serious, but Fu Shitian felt that she heard something naughty. She thought to herself, why did she seem to be trying to scare her on purpose
She smiled widely and replied to Shi Yi with full trust: "It's okay, I believe you."
Shi Yi glanced at her and confirmed again that Fu Shitian's smile was really contagious.
"Then I'll wait for you outside the gate of Building 2 at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, and we'll drive over."
"good."
After returning to the dormitory, Fu Shitian was nervous until going to bed. What should he wear on Saturday
Although this was not a date, it was still the first time that she and Shi Yi went out alone together.
She matched all the few clothes she had in her mind, and finally decided to wear the high-waisted skirt that Xiaoyu gave her as a gift during the New Year because she thought it was too small, paired with an off-white sweater, a burgundy beret, and buy a new pair of leather shoes with long socks. It should be nice.
She calculated her living expenses and the money she saved from her part-time job. It was already the end of the month, so if she saved a little more, she could still make ends meet.
Well, I'd better buy a pair of small earrings, she thought drowsily before going to bed.
It turns out that her fashion sense is still good. On Saturday, she wore this outfit and went out to greet the dormitory aunt on duty. The aunt couldn't help gossiping: "Wow, where are you going so early in the morning wearing such beautiful clothes?"
Fu Shitian's dimples rippled, and she remained silent with shyness. She walked out of the dormitory gate, looking out the school fence, and walked briskly towards the school gate.
Shi Yi had already arrived and parked his car opposite the campus gate. When he saw Fu Shitian stepping over the iron railing of the campus gate, he turned on the headlights to signal him.
It was a shiny white Audi. Shi Yi rolled down the window and waved at her calmly, "Here."
Fu Shitian unconsciously grasped the chain of the messenger bag in front of him, slowed down his pace, walked to the car window and asked, "Is it the passenger seat?"
"Yeah." Shi Yi unlocked the car door.
Fu Shitian walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in. He cautiously put his left foot, body and right foot into the car and closed the door as gently as possible.
This was her first time riding in a car since she grew up, and also her first time sitting in the passenger seat.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" She asked Shi Yi as naturally as possible.
Shi Yi said: "No, I just arrived."
Fu Shitian's eyes fell on Shi Yi's seat belt and he realized that he almost forgot about it, so he quickly turned his head to look for the belt next to the seat.
Is this it? This is the only strap. Fu Shitian was nervous and pulled out the safety belt like he had seen on TV. But how to tie it diagonally to the body? Where to buckle it
She grabbed her seat belt, looked around nervously, and felt her whole face burning.
A scent of hair brushed past her nose, and Shi Yi's slender fingers touched her knuckles and pulled the seat belt from her hand. Fu Shitian tilted her head slightly and saw Shi Yi's fair face magnified in front of her eyes, with long and dense eyelashes drooping, "Let me help you. The seat belt buckle of this car is a bit loose, and it always slides to the back, which is not easy to fasten."
Her tone was very normal. On TV, the action of pulling and snapping is usually very simple and quick, but Shi Yi took several seconds to complete it. Was it a deliberate way to save face? Fu Shitian stared at Shi Yi's face for two seconds, then looked away, his heart pounding, feeling a little warm and a little frustrated.
Shi Yi helped her buckle up, sat up straight, pulled up her own seat belt, and suddenly said, "It's not often that I see you wearing a skirt."
Fu Shitian's thoughts were brought back, and he looked at Shi Yi and said "hmm". Shi Yi was also quite different today, wearing a thin pointed collar jacket, a bit of workwear style, which neutralized the beauty of her face, and revealed a casual and capable manner in her dignified manner.
Fu Shitian realized belatedly and said, "Oh, sorry, maybe it's not appropriate to work in this outfit." After all, they were not really going out to have fun today.
Shi Yi started the car and looked at the road ahead. "No, it's quite suitable."
"It looks nice. I can wear it more often in the future."
The wish that she had been looking forward to for a week was finally fulfilled by Shi Yi. Fu Shitian's heart was filled with pink bubbles, and her voice was a little floating: "Okay." She agreed softly, paused, and said in a softer voice: "You look really good in what you wear today."
Shi Yi didn't say anything. Fu Shitian heard her seem to let out a very light laugh, which tickled his heart like a feather.
Soft and itchy.
After the car drove smoothly for a distance, the sun parted the clouds and poured into the car through the glass, which was a bit dazzling. Shi Yi arrived at an intersection where she was waiting for a red light, and she stretched out her hand to lower the sun visor on the passenger seat. "Will it be more comfortable?" She put on her sunglasses.
Fu Shitian glanced at her and forced himself to look away. "Yeah."
The green light came on and the traffic started to flow. Shi Yi said, "It's still early. If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Fu Shitian said quickly: "I'm not sleepy."
Shi Yi asked, "Would you like to listen to music?"
"good."
"What song is it?"
"Either is fine." She also wanted to hear what type of songs Shi Yi usually liked.
Shi Yi turned on the car stereo and clicked a few times casually. Soothing and pleasant music came out from the stereo, flowing in this quiet morning time.
It was instrumental music, and Fu Shitian's eyes dimmed. There were no lyrics, so she had no way of secretly memorizing them and looking them up later.
The car drove out of the road that Shi Yi was familiar with. Shi Yi slowed down, turned on the navigation, entered the destination of Zhou Hushan, and followed the navigation instructions.
The navigation system will give you a voice prompt every few meters. After crossing the Huawu Bridge, go straight ahead for 200 meters, and the navigation system will remind you to turn right 500 meters ahead and enter Pushun Avenue.
Pushun Avenue? Fu Shitian was alerted and subconsciously looked out the window.
The trees on both sides of the road outside the car window were rapidly receding. Five hundred meters passed quickly and Pushun Avenue was in front of us.
The light turned red and the car stopped.
Fu Shitian couldn't help but ask: "Shi Yi, can I open the car window?"
Shi Yi said, "Sure." She helped Fu Shitian lower the car window and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" She was afraid that Fu Shitian would get carsick.
Fu Shitian looked out the car window and denied softly: "No, I just wanted to take a look outside."
Shi Yi followed her line of sight and saw ordinary tall buildings and continuous storefronts outside the car window. There was nothing unusual. Looking further away, a blue road sign caught Shi Yi's attention.
Pushun East Road.
Ah, she had been here before. A long-lost memory suddenly came to her mind.
In the car stereo, the sound of the previous song faded away, and the next piano song sounded. It was a song that Shi Yi and Fu Shitian were very familiar with, Bandari's "Childhood".
