Fu Shitian's heart skipped a beat and he immediately pressed the green answer button: "Shi Yi?" His voice was soft and shy.
"Yeah." Shi Yi walked away from the noise and stopped by the lake: "I sent it. I was busy these two days and forgot to tell you."
Fu Shitian lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the sheets: "Why did you send it to me?"
"Is this address inconvenient to receive?"
"No." Fu Shitian quickly denied.
Shi Yi explained: "Take it back to reserve a place, so I just mailed it."
The point seems to be wrong, right? Fu Shitian had to ask more directly, "Is it a souvenir for me?"
"Um."
"Thank you, Shi Yi." She stopped circling and began rubbing repeatedly: "I like the gift very much, it's a surprise. But, it cost you too much."
Shi Yi could hear her embarrassment and said calmly, "You can consider it as your reward."
"Um?"
"You accompanied me to walk around the streets for half a day."
Although the tone was very serious, Fu Shitian felt like laughing. She felt lighter and less restrained. "The things you bought are all mine. I should thank you for shopping with me."
"You're welcome." Shi Yi responded easily.
Fu Shitian laughed softly again. After that she didn't say anything, and Shi Yi didn't say anything either. It seemed like the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fu Shitian was reluctant to hang up the phone, blushing and trying to find something to say: "Are you still in Japan?"
"No, I'm back."
"Today is the Lantern Festival."
"Um."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I'm eating."
Fu Shitian quickly asked embarrassedly: "Did I disturb your meal?"
Shi Yi reminded her: "I was the one who called you."
Fu Shitian was startled. Yes. Shi Yi explained, "I was at the wedding banquet and came out to get some fresh air."
"My mother is getting married today." She said in a normal tone.
Fu Shitian was caught off guard, holding the phone, tongue tied. "Shi Yi..."
What should she say now? She became more and more anxious and panicked, and her mind went blank.
Shi Yi seemed to be able to sense her helplessness. She turned around and looked at the wedding banquet venue not far away, which was brightly lit and full of happy people. She said lightly, "I'm not unhappy." She changed the subject, "Will you go back to school the day after tomorrow?"
Fu Shitian replied hesitantly: "Yes, the day after tomorrow afternoon."
Shi Yi continued chatting with her on this topic for a few more sentences before ending the call.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Shitian stared at the call record on the screen for a long time. Is he really not unhappy? But if he is not unhappy, why does he need an excuse to call and go out to breathe
She thought of the close relationship between Shi Yi and her mother on the first day of school, and thought of the uneasiness and loneliness Shi Yi might be feeling at this moment, and her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She was so stupid that she couldn't even say a word of comfort. Fu Shitian buried her face in the pillow in annoyance.
At 9:30, the wedding banquet ended. Shi Yi accompanied her mother Fang Ruohua and stepfather Xiang Ye to see off the guests one by one, rejected their invitations, and returned alone to the house where she and her mother had lived before.
As usual, she changed her shoes and walked to the living room. No one left the lights on for her, and the moonlight shone through the French windows into the room. Shi Yi put her hand on the light switch, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lost the desire to turn on the light.
She sat on a high stool in front of the bar in the moonlight, looking at the living room, which was still furnished as before. She felt something was different, it was empty. Her eyes fell on the photo of her and Fang Ruohua on the TV cabinet.
The phone in the bag vibrated twice. Shi Yi remembered that he had not yet informed Fang Ruohua that he was safe.
She took out her phone, and the screen showed a missed call, an unread message, and a QQ message. She clicked on the missed text messages and unread messages first, both of which were from Fang Ruohua.
For some reason, she didn't want to reply right away.
She put it aside and clicked on the QQ message to check.
The QQ message was sent by Fu Shitian. She didn't say anything, just sent a picture. The picture was a four-frame colored pencil drawing. In the first frame, two rabbits stood hand in hand under the moon and stars. In the second frame, the moon and stars at night turned into blue sky and white clouds, and the two rabbits still stood hand in hand. The third frame was the same as the first frame, and the fourth frame was the same as the second frame.
The picture was so immature that it was hard to praise it. Shi Yi was sure that Fu Shitian's painting skills had not improved since kindergarten.
She didn't quite understand what Fu Shitian wanted to express, but a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
My mouth was so clumsy just now, and now my hands are still so clumsy.
She was in the mood to draw a picture to send back to Fu Shitian, so she returned to the desktop and saw the message box icon in the lower left corner of the homepage. She fluttered her eyelashes, smiled with relief, and replied to Fang Ruohua's text message first: "Mom, I'm home. I forgot to tell you just now, happy wedding."
She got up, turned on the light, sat on the sofa, and with a smile on her face, leisurely drew on the screen of her mobile phone with her fingers.
At nearly eleven o'clock, Fu Shitian, who had been tossing and turning and not daring to sleep, finally received a reply from Shi Yi. She couldn't wait to open it and saw that Shi Yi had also sent her a painting.
In the painting, two little rabbits are standing face to face in front of the gate of Shanghai University. One of the rabbits is holding the hand of the other rabbit with its left hand and putting two red wedding candies in the other rabbit's hand with its right hand.
Below the picture was a line of elegant words: "See you at school."
Fu Shitian's dimples blossomed and she replied, "See you at school."
The heart is as soft as water.
On the afternoon of the 17th day of the first lunar month, it was the time for students to return to school. The bus that Fu Shitian was riding was stuck in traffic all the way, and it took an hour to get there instead of half an hour. Fu Shitian felt dizzy and dragged his suitcase towards the dormitory building with a pale face. At the elevator entrance on the first floor, he met Shi Yi who came out with another class secretary.
She smiled at Shi Yi, who frowned and asked, "Are you carsick?"
Fu Shitian nodded and was about to say something, but the person who entered first was about to close the elevator and asked, "Would you like to come in?"
Shi Yi said, "You go up first, I'll come find you later."
Fu Shitian obediently entered the elevator.
Back on the 13th floor, Fu Shitian cheered herself up, thinking about a new start in the new semester. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood at the door of the dormitory, before she even entered, she noticed that the atmosphere in the dormitory was not right.
Only Song Chuyuan, Cheng Jialuo and Luo Qian were in the dormitory. Song Chuyuan was cleaning the bed board and removing dust from his bed, Luo Qian was washing clothes on the balcony, and Cheng Jialuo was sitting by the French window with her back to her, talking on the phone, with a faint cry in her voice.
Fu Shitian dragged the suitcase in. Cheng Jialuo heard the noise, turned her head and glanced, and when she saw her, she stood up with a big movement and went to the balcony.
Fu Shitian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Song Chuyuan for help. Song Chuyuan gave her a helpless look.
Fu Shitian gritted his teeth and walked to his bed, put the suitcase under the bed, climbed onto the bed, pulled the bed curtains, leaned against the wall and panted quietly.
Cheng Jialuo was probably calling her family. She said her things were moved in the dormitory. The towel was used as a rag and was extremely dirty. The potted plants on the bookshelf were smashed on the desk. They were all put away before the holiday. She even moved them a little bit inside before she left. There was no earthquake and the potted plants didn’t have legs. Could they kill themselves by falling? This happened not once or twice. I also felt that the toothbrush and cup were moved before...
She didn't mention anyone's name, but everyone knew who the conflict was pointing at. Everyone knew that Fu Shitian was the last one to leave the dormitory.
The crying voice, as if someone had suffered a great injustice, reached Fu Shitian's ears. Fu Shitian felt his head buzzing and his chest even more uncomfortable.
Shi Yi took the registration form for illegal electrical appliances and went upstairs. She returned to the dormitory, got some wedding candy, and went to 1317 to find Fu Shitian. Seeing that the door of 1317 was open and Fu Shitian's shoes were pointed at the ladder, she went straight into the room and called her by the bed: "Shitian."
Fu Shitian poked his head out from behind the bed curtain, his expression seeming even uglier than before.
Shi Yi handed the wedding candy to Fu Shitian, and also handed him a few medicine patches, "You might feel more comfortable if you put them on."
Fu Shitian said "thank you". The dormitory was too depressing to talk, so Fu Shitian climbed out of bed and led Shi Yi to the stairwell.
When they reached the stairwell, Shi Yi asked, "What happened to your dormitory?"
Fu Shitian replied: "Jia Luo's towel is dirty and the potted plant is broken."
"Where do you put the towels?"
"Hang it over the laundry sink."
"If you don't collect it when it's hung up, isn't it normal for it to get dirty?"
Fu Shitian was silent for a moment, then said sullenly, "The potted plant is indeed in a place where it is not easy to fall. She felt that someone in the dormitory was bullying her."
"Does she think that person is you?"
Fu Shitian remained silent.
Shi Yi frowned and said, "Go in and look for any sticky notes on the desk or on the floor. If there are any, give them to Cheng Jialuo. If not, that's fine too. The potted plants must have been broken when the dormitory auntie was checking for illegal electrical appliances."
"Ah?" Fu Shitian went in doubtfully.
She looked around and actually found an upside-down sticky note on Zhang Lulu's chair not far from Cheng Jialuo's desk.
She picked it up hesitantly. On the sticky note was written in ballpoint pen: "Little sister, I accidentally broke the potted plant. Come find me when school starts. Stay with the dormitory aunt."
She turned around and looked outside the door in surprise. Shi Yi raised his chin at her and walked away.
Fu Shitian felt much more relaxed, and took the sticky note to the balcony to find Cheng Jialuo: "Jialuo, I just saw this sticky note on the chair, is it for you?"
Cheng Jialuo didn't expect that Fu Shitian had the nerve to come and talk to her after doing something bad. She didn't take the sticky note, but just looked at Fu Shitian coldly.
Fu Shitian was not timid either, and said in a gentle voice: "It seems that the dormitory aunt left it for you. She said that she accidentally broke your potted plant and asked you to find her when school starts. Shall I put it on your desk?"
In the dormitory, Luo Xi and Song Chuyuan paused for several seconds.
Fu Shitian didn't even look at Cheng Jialuo's expression and climbed back into bed as if nothing had happened.
She had not yet applied the medicine patch that Shi Yi had given her, but she felt that she was completely healed. She no longer felt dizzy or had chest tightness, and she even felt like laughing.
She sent a message to Shi Yi: "How did you know there was a sticky note?"
Shi Yi replied: "When I went to the dormitory management department to get the registration form for illegal materials, I heard the dormitory aunt mention it in a conversation."
One dormitory manager was joking with another dormitory manager, "Has the little girl whose potted plants you broke come to you to compensate for the flowers?" The two chatted for a few words.
Fu Shitian's dimples were deep, and she sent a "thank you" emoticon to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi didn't reply.
Ten minutes later, Shi Yi came to dormitory 1317 again. This time she knocked on the door, holding a registration form, and asked in a businesslike tone: "Has anyone had their illegal electrical appliances confiscated? If so, please register and go to the dormitory management department to collect them after graduation."
Dormitory head Cheng Jialuo was still sitting at the desk trying to calm down, with her head down and ignoring everyone. Luo Qian responded from the balcony: "Our dormitory hasn't all arrived yet, so I don't know if anyone has been confiscated. I'll ask them when they all arrive."
"Okay." Shi Yi responded, "Also, when I was collecting the materials, the dormitory manager asked me to remind everyone when I registered that everyone should remember to put away towels, socks, clothes and the like that were left outside during the long vacations. It's not a big deal if they are easily blown away or soiled, but it would be bad if they cause conflicts in the dormitory."
Everyone in the dormitory paused again, and Cheng Jialuo's shocked and annoyed gaze instantly shot towards Shi Yi.
Shi Yi looked at her, smiled slightly, and turned calmly to go to the next dormitory.
Cheng Jialuo's face turned blue and red, and she looked up at Fu Shitian.
Fu Shitian retreated back into the bed curtain, stunned, "Did the dormitory manager really say this?"
Shi Yi replied after a few minutes: "No." She said confidently:
"It's my concern for her as the league secretary."
The author has something to say: Fu Xiaotuji is shy: The painting means that I will always be with you
Shi Yi: Almost. What I understand is that friendship lasts forever.
Fu Xiaotuji: It’s different! Very different!
Shi Yi: What’s the difference
Fu Xiaotu muttered: "At night... it's different."
