Shi Yi's face was clearly revealed, with dark eyebrows, black eyes, and even slightly cold and thin lips, all of which made Fu Shitian's heart move.
But like a guilty thief, when Shi Yi looked at him, Fu Shitian subconsciously turned his eyes away and took a step back, as if he wanted to hide his rude look.
Almost at the same moment, a "crash" sound was heard, and a hard, horn-shaped object poked Fu Shitian's back hard, causing Fu Shitian to stagger forward in pain.
"What are you doing?" A woman's scolding voice sounded behind him.
Fu Shitian hissed and turned around to see that there was a middle-aged woman and a little boy of four or five years old standing behind him. The woman was holding the little boy with one hand and a shopping basket with the other, showing a protective attitude.
"Do you know how to walk? You almost stepped on someone, do you know that?" The woman was still angry and her voice was a little loud.
Fu Shitian realized that she almost bumped into them when she took a step back. She was shy and was scolded twice. She was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't see it. Are you okay?" She apologized repeatedly.
Before the woman could speak, the little boy pointed his finger at something and said in a baby voice, "Sister, my ball..."
Fu Shitian looked in the direction of his finger and saw a small ball not far away, bouncing and rolling, and finally stopped under a pair of bone-white casual shoes.
Fu Shitian walked quickly towards the ball and saw the owner of the casual shoes bend down, spread his five fingers and picked up the ball. She instinctively followed the ball and her eyes moved up, and she was caught off guard and bumped into Shi Yi's eyes.
Shi Yi pursed his lips and looked at her expressionlessly.
Fu Shitian's steps slowed down involuntarily, her heart pounding. Thinking that Shi Yi might have witnessed the whole thing, she blushed all the way to her neck.
Not only was I caught peeking, but I also made a fool of myself. I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She moved in front of Shi Yi, took the ball handed to her by Shi Yi, and didn't even dare to look at Shi Yi's expression again. She whispered "thank you" and turned around and trotted back.
"Why is this girl so reckless? But she is quite pretty." Shi Yi's mother Fang Ruohua looked at Fu Shitian's back with amusement.
Shi Yi curled his lips, without commenting, and turned around to pick up a bucket of hand-friendly laundry detergent and put it in the shopping cart: "Does it look like a rabbit?"
"Hmm?" Fang Ruohua pushed the shopping cart forward with her. "Does she look good? Now that you mention it, she does look a bit, quite well-behaved."
Shi Yi uttered a few words nonchalantly: "I mean, run away."
Fang Ruohua was slightly stunned, but suddenly couldn't stop laughing.
Fu Shitian knew nothing about it. She returned to the mother and son with the ball in her arms, apologized again earnestly, and pretended to pick something in that area for a while. Finally, she couldn't help but look at the place where Shi Yi had just been.
There was no trace of Shi Yi anywhere.
She really didn't recognize herself. Fu Shitian confirmed this.
Even... She probably doesn't even remember her own existence.
To her, Shi Yi is special. He is the one that makes her heart beat and the one she thinks about the most.
But to Shi Yi, he was just an insignificant childhood acquaintance.
In fact, this is normal, and even, it should be something to be thankful for. But Fu Shitian couldn't help but feel lost.
This feeling of loss continued until the evening when they had their first class meeting in college.
We were notified of the class meeting when we registered in the morning. In the afternoon, all six people in the dormitory were present, two from Class 5 and four from Class 6. The four from Class 6 were from the same province, and two from Xuancheng, Cheng Jialuo and Luo Xi, were from the same hometown. It was the beginning of the school year, and everyone was afraid of being left alone or not fitting into the dormitory, so the six of us had dinner together in the cafeteria. After dinner, everyone walked hand in hand and lined up in a single line to go to the college.
When they arrived, the evening study room assigned to their class was already sparsely occupied by only a small number of people.
After a quick glance, Fu Shitian didn't see Shi Yi. Zhang Lulu pulled her to sit in the empty seat in the front row. Fu Shitian was too embarrassed to keep looking back for someone, so she only chatted absentmindedly with the new classmates around her, keeping her eyes on the students coming in and out of the door.
But even until the bespectacled and slightly bald head teacher entered the classroom, Fu Shitian still didn't see Shi Yi.
The head teacher started to speak. After the polite words, it was the routine self-introduction. Fu Shitian's dormitory was the one with the highest number of students. After Cheng Jialuo and Luo Qian finished speaking, it was Fu Shitian's turn. Fu Shitian had to collect his thoughts and rehearse the speech in his mind.
She was easily shy, but she had been on stage as a representative of outstanding students in junior high and high school, so she was not afraid of the stage. But when she stood on the podium, she suddenly saw Shi Yi, who had appeared in the corner of the back row without knowing when. When she saw Shi Yi discover her, she seemed to be surprised for a moment, and Fu Shitian's smooth words were stuck...
The whole audience was silent for two seconds, short yet long.
Shi Yi frowned, stopped looking at her as if he had lost interest, and lowered his head to play with his phone.
Fu Shitian came back to his senses, looked away, suppressed his embarrassment, and continued with his previous words, introducing himself fairly smoothly.
Returning to his seat, Fu Shitian covered his face in frustration and was in no mood to listen to the self-introductions of the students behind him.
Shi Yi must have discovered that he was the person in the supermarket. He made a fool of himself twice in front of her in one day, and he didn't know what impression he left on her.
I don't know how long it took, but the head teacher called on the next person: "Okay, let me see, the next one is No. 228, Shi Yi."
Fu Shitian cheered up.
The sound of a chair being pushed away was heard, followed by the sound of whispers everywhere. Zhang Lulu whispered in Fu Shitian's ear: "Ah, Shitian, this girl is as pretty as you, but she looks so powerful..."
Fu Shitian murmured: "She is more beautiful."
She speaks from the heart.
Shi Yi changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing the T-shirt and jeans she wore at the supermarket at noon. She was now wearing a dress and sandals. She looked even cooler and more difficult to approach than she was at noon...
To the sound of Fu Shitian's heartbeat, Shi Yi walked to the podium, and Fu Shitian was finally able to pretend to be natural and look at her with everyone else.
Shi Yi on the stage smiled faintly, her voice was sweet and pleasant: "Hello everyone, my name is Shi Yi." As she spoke, she turned her back, picked up the chalk and wrote the two big words "Shi Yi" on the blackboard. Her handwriting was clear and elegant, just like her.
After writing the two words "Shi Yi", she wrote the two words "10e" on the next line.
She turned around and said calmly, "When the time comes, Lin Luyi will not do anything inappropriate."
"Well, it sounds good, but it's not so good to write." She said seriously, without any joking intention: "So if you find it troublesome in the future, you can just abbreviate it as 10e."
The people in the audience burst into laughter for unknown reasons.
Fu Shitian also laughed. It wasn't that everyone else found it troublesome, it was clearly that she herself found it troublesome to write, so why not announce this abbreviation first
"I am from Shanghai, and I am very happy to be your classmate. As for what kind of person I am, I believe that it will be more objective to learn more about me in the next year than for me to spend a few minutes introducing myself now, so I will not say much. In the future, please give me more advice."
The words were concise and unexpected, and there was a slight commotion in the audience.
She nodded slightly and walked off the stage calmly amid applause.
Fu Shitian watched her return to her seat and heard Cheng Jialuo beside him say something in an unclear tone: "Locals are quite arrogant."
It sounded like a complaint or a casual sigh. Fu Shitian wanted to refute something, but he opened his mouth and fell silent again.
It’s nothing actually, I’m just being too sensitive.
After the self-introduction, it was the class teacher's summary speech. Cheng Jialuo, who ranked first among the students, and Gao Yipei, who ranked first among the boys, were appointed as temporary co-responsible persons in charge, responsible for all class liaison matters during the period when the class committee was not decided.
After the meeting, Cheng Jialuo went to the office to find the counselor to receive the tasks for the next two days. She didn't ask everyone to go back first, and no one was embarrassed to say that they would not wait for Cheng Jialuo, so Luo Qian took the initiative to say that everyone should wait in the rest area at the corner of the corridor. Cheng Jialuo agreed, and Fu Shitian and Zhang Lulu naturally had no objection.
While waiting, classes dispersed one after another, and the number of classrooms with lights on in the college gradually decreased.
Finally, another class was dismissed, Cheng Jialuo came out, and everyone could go back. Cheng Jialuo and Luo Qian walked in front, Zhang Lulu walked behind holding Fu Shitian's hand, and the four of them talked about the arrangements for the next few days while walking.
When he walked to the north gate near the dormitory building, Fu Shitian accidentally saw a white Porsche parked next to the school gate. The Porsche opened the door, and the first person to get out was a pretty girl, and then another girl, tall and slender, got out. It was Shi Yi who was introducing herself on the podium not long ago.
The girl was holding a cup of milk tea, and Shi Yi was holding a few delicate paper bags. She stood by the car window and talked to the people in the car. Fu Shitian vaguely heard her shout "Mom".
She forced herself to look away and walked over without looking around.
When it was time to take a shower, Fu Shitian didn't fight for it and waited in line until he was the last one to take a shower. After taking a shower and drying his hair, everyone else in the dormitory was already in bed.
"Then should I turn off the lights?" Fu Shitian asked.
No one objected.
Fu Shitian turned off the lights and climbed onto his upper bunk.
In the dim light, the dormitory was quiet for a few minutes, and Luo Xi suddenly asked: "Hey, did you buy sunscreen?"
"I bought it." Song Chuyuan from Class 5 replied.
"I bought it too." It was Cheng Jialuo's voice: "What brand did you buy? I bought CPB, I don't know if it can withstand it."
The night chat started unexpectedly. They talked about sunscreen, skin care products, duty-free shops, and then duty-free shops to travel abroad, and even studying abroad in the future...
Fu Shitian only responded with a few words when his name was called at the beginning, and then there was a long silence.
It wasn't that she didn't want to participate, but she really had nothing to say. The topics they talked about, the brands, the country and the future, were like two different worlds from hers.
Out of reach.
Just like Shi Yi getting out of a Porsche.
Fu Shitian curled up and hugged the only rabbit doll in his arms.
