"No." Shi Yi helped her tie her apron and replied nonchalantly, "Lu He came here a few times."
Fu Shitian had a bad feeling the moment he asked the question, and regretted it so much that he wanted to bite off his tongue. Why did he ask such a stupid question? Did he really think Shi Yi was so special to him
The water in the pot was still boiling and bubbling, but the pink bubbles in her heart were gone at all.
"What's wrong?" Shi Yi took dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard.
Fu Shitian concealed his disappointment and answered calmly, "No, I was just asking."
"However, if you want to stay overnight, you will be the first one." Shi Yi closed the cabinet door and said casually.
Fu Shitian paused while cooking the noodles, and her heart began to boil again. She couldn't tell whether the gurgling sound of bubbles came from the pot or from her heart.
"I sleep very well. I don't snore or grind my teeth." Fu Shitian said softly.
Shi Yi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the house is well soundproofed."
Fu Shitian understood the implication of her words, and his eyes darkened a little, "It will be related if we live in the same dormitory in the future." Shi Yi really had no intention of sleeping with her.
"Oh, yeah." Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, "Should I test it tonight?"
Fu Shitian's throat tightened, and he let out an "ah" and said in a normal tone: "Then you come here." He even forgot to take his hand off the handle of the pot lid.
She pricked up her ears and waited for Shi Yi's answer. Shi Yi obviously didn't take it seriously, and asked, "The guest room is always cleaned. Are you afraid to sleep alone?"
She is such a grown-up, of course she won't be afraid. But if she is afraid, what will Shi Yi do
Fu Shitian felt that she had violated the rules, but she still heard herself shamefully asking: "Can I sleep with you?"
It's normal for girls to sleep together, right? She will be very well behaved.
She didn't dare to look at Shi Yi's expression. Her heart was hanging high, and the temperature of her whole body rose. She felt very agitated. She felt a sense of relief and regret.
Shi Yi was embarrassed, but seeing Fu Shitian's obvious nervousness, she felt a little soft-hearted. She could see that Fu Shitian was very afraid of rejecting others, and was also very afraid of being rejected by others.
In fact, she doesn't like sleeping with others because it's too intimate.
"Okay." Shi Yi lowered his eyes and put the bowl and chopsticks next to Fu Shitian's pot.
Fu Shitian's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal.
Shi Yi was puzzled. Is he so happy
"I don't sleep as well as you do." Shi Yi stated in advance.
"It's okay, it's okay. I sleep very deeply." Fu Shitian's voice was full of smile.
"Then I'll go carry the quilt to the bedroom." Shi Yi turned and went out.
Fu Shitian's heart flew to the sky, but she couldn't hug her little rabbit and roll around like she usually did. She could only cover her face and laugh foolishly when Shi Yi couldn't see.
I began to regret that I had just picked up the pajamas in the dark so hastily.
The noodles were cooked just right. Fu Shitian took them out, poured soup, brought them to the dining table and prepared to call Shi Yi.
The phone suddenly vibrated. At this point in time, Fu Shitian thought it was just a nuisance call that would be hung up, but it turned out to be a message from Chen Xizhu.
Chen Xizhu sent her a photo of a dark sky. She said: "There is not a single star tonight."
Fu Shitian recognized that the building in the photo that was connected to the sky was the tallest academic office building in the school. This angle should have been taken from the Duxing Stadium.
She stopped and frowned and asked Chen Xizhu: "Why haven't you slept yet? Are you at the stadium?"
Chen Xizhu was surprised: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I had something to do and stayed up late tonight."
"Are you done with your work? Go to bed quickly if you're done." Chen Xizhu reminded her.
Fu Shitian was worried and asked again: "Are you in the stadium?"
Chen Xizhu didn't respond. Fu Shitian stared at the screen and sent several shaking windows in succession.
Shi Yi came out and saw her standing halfway, "Why are you standing here?"
Fu Shitian came back to his senses, "Oh, the noodles are ready. I wanted to ask you to come out to eat them, but I was afraid they would clump if left out for too long."
"I tidied up the room a little." Shi Yi sat down at the dining table as if nothing had happened.
The noodles cooked by Fu Shitian were nothing more than red soup, green vegetables, and yellow eggs. They looked ordinary, but tasted unexpectedly good. The soup was fragrant but not bland, which was obviously different from the noodles full of spices outside. It was homely but not ordinary. Shi Yi took a small bite of the noodles and drank a small spoonful of soup. He was about to praise Fu Shitian's cooking skills, but he found that Fu Shitian opposite him was a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Shitian forced a smile and asked her: "Is it delicious?"
Shi Yi nodded, but didn't let go of the question, "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Shitian confessed: "A friend of mine just sent me a message, and it seemed like she was still hanging out in the playground late at night. After I replied to her message, she sent me two messages and suddenly stopped replying. I'm a little worried."
"girl?"
"Yes, from our school's law school."
Shi Yi also stopped eating noodles and asked, "Let's make a phone call?"
"I called, but the phone was turned off." Although it was most likely that the phone was out of battery, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
Shi Yi saw that she looked unhappy, and the delicious noodles lost their taste in her mouth. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."
It's half past three. If I keep going, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Fu Shitian quickly declined: "No need. Shi Yi, you go to sleep. I'll just walk over. I've been to this area part-time before, so I know the way."
She stood up and said, "I'll wash the pot. Please help wash the dishes."
Shi Yi's face darkened. "Are you planning to have me post a missing person notice tomorrow?"
Fu Shitian looked at her serious expression and felt a little helpless, "Shi Yi..."
Shi Yi walked to the coffee table and grabbed the car keys, "Do you want to eat more? If not, then leave."
Fu Shitian hesitated and wanted to persuade him again, but Shi Yi reminded him calmly: "Finish it early and go to bed early."
Fu Shitian couldn't be stubborn anymore.
This time, the same five-minute journey seemed long, and the quiet streets seemed desolate. Fu Shitian felt very uncomfortable and wanted to apologize to Shi Yi.
But Shi Yi always gave Fu Shitian a look before she was about to speak, which would make her shut up automatically.
The car returned to the parking lot outside the dormitory building of the Overseas Education College. As soon as the engine was turned off, Fu Shitian unbuckled the seat belt and urged Shi Yi: "Okay, Shi Yi, you should go back to the dormitory and rest. I'm really sorry for wasting your whole night."
Shi Yi glanced at her and said nothing.
Fu Shitian thought she agreed, but when they reached the fork leading to the Duxing Stadium and the dormitory building, Shi Yi was still following her slowly.
Fu Shitian turned around: "Shi Yi?" He looked so guilty that he looked like he was about to cry.
Shi Yi's expression softened a little, and he asked her: "Are you comfortable with me walking back to the dormitory alone?"
Fu Shitian was stunned by her question. She didn't think much about it at first, but now she saw that it was the middle of the night and there was no ghost around. Shi Yi was so beautiful and weak that she could be bullied... She was really worried.
She bit her lip, her expression becoming more and more helpless.
Shi Yi's eyes were filled with tenderness, "Let's go faster."
Fu Shitian quickly suppressed his guilt and quickened his pace.
The small iron gate of the Duxing Stadium was open, and looking inside, the entire playground was empty. Fu Shitian was still searching, and Shi Yi asked: "Is that your friend?"
Fu Shitian followed Shi Yi's gaze and saw the figure on the stone steps diagonally opposite looking up at the sky. Who else could it be but Chen Xizhu.
Fu Shitian felt relieved and started jogging, "I'll go call her."
The sound of footsteps landing was insignificant in this empty space, but the fierce clattering of keys in her schoolbag was very harsh, waking up Chen Xizhu who was in a trance.
"Tiantian? Why are you here?" She stood up and jumped down.
Fu Shitian stood outside the railing panting: "Why is your phone... turned off?"
Her anxious look made Chen Xizhu feel as if he had done something wrong: "I replied to your message, and suddenly the power went out and the phone shut down."
“…” It was a false alarm, Fu Shitian was both angry and relieved.
"Are you worried about me?" Chen Xizhu came out from under the railing.
Fu Shitian softened his voice and asked, "What happened?"
Chen Xizhu's nose felt sore, and he suddenly hugged her shoulders and sobbed: "Tiantian, you are so kind, wuwuwu, wuwuwu..."
Fu Shitian didn't know where to put his hands and feet. "What's wrong? Stop crying. I'm here."
Chen Xizhu cried twice, then stopped crying soon. With red eyes, she said, "It's nothing, my bike was stolen."
Chen Xizhu is not such a fragile person, and Fu Shitian intuitively feels that there is more to it.
Sure enough, Chen Xizhu lowered his head, and after two seconds he said, "Senior is in love."
"She actually thought that I often appeared around her because I wanted to hook up with her boyfriend. Not only did she block me from being a candidate for the new term, but she also bitched at me with others behind my back." The grievance in her choking sobs made Fu Shitian feel distressed.
She touched Chen Xizhu's shoulder to give her silent support. She wanted to sit with her for a while and comfort her, but she was worried about Shi Yi.
Shi Yi did not approach, but waited quietly beside the small iron gate, leaving them plenty of space. It was such a cold aura, yet it was such a heart-warming presence.
Chen Xizhu also noticed the tall and graceful girl in the distance, "Is that the classmate who came here with you?"
"Um."
"Ah? Then... then let's go back quickly." Chen Xizhu regained her senses and apologized, "I'm sorry to make you run here so late at night. I'm fine. I just have insomnia and thought I'd feel better if I came out for some fresh air." There was no place in the dormitory suitable for her to cry.
Fu Shitian said mildly: "Xizhu, it's her."
Chen Xizhu was stunned and didn't react.
Fu Shitian's expression revealed shyness, and Chen Xizhu suddenly had an idea and realized it. He quickly glanced at the figure several times.
"I'm worried about her going back to the dormitory alone. Can we send her back first and then come over?"
Chen Xizhu returned to her usual self, without any trace of having cried just now. "I'm not coming anymore. Let's go, let's go back to sleep." She took Fu Shitian's arm and ran towards Shi Yi. She stood in front of Shi Yi and smiled at him generously: "Classmate, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night."
Shi Yi shook his head and smiled slightly.
"I'm Chen Xizhu from the Law School, and a good friend of Si Tian."
"School of Business Administration, Shi Yi, Si Tian's classmate."
Chen Xizhu raised an eyebrow: "Just classmates?"
Fu Shitian blushed and quickly pulled Chen Xizhu's sleeve.
Shi Yi curled his lips and changed his words: "Good friends."
Chen Xizhu looked at Fu Shitian teasingly. Fu Shitian's ears became hot and he said softly, "Let's go, let's go back."
Chen Xizhu is talkative and chatted with Shi Yi from time to time along the way. Before entering the dormitory, he even added Shi Yi on WeChat.
Only Fu Shitian and Shi Yi were left walking back from the law school dormitory. Shi Yi said calmly: "Your friend is very interesting."
Fu Shitian didn't know whether to be happy or jealous. After hesitating for a while, she whispered: "I don't have your WeChat either."
Shi Yi smiled vaguely, "Do you want to use it?"
Fu Shitian was stunned for a moment, then kept silent. She really didn't use it often.
At four o'clock in the morning, the two finally returned to the dormitory, said good night to each other, and went into their respective rooms.
Having lost the opportunity to sleep in the same bed with Shi Yi, Fu Shitian looked at Shi Yi's closed dormitory door and felt secretly regretful.
She climbed onto the bed quietly, took out her cell phone, and found that Chen Xizhu had sent her a string of messages: "Ah, she's so beautiful! This time I admit that she's prettier than my senior!"
"She's so nice to you! Si Tian, I don't believe she's so nice to all her friends!"
"It's late at night, and I'm going through all this with you. This is not true love!"
Fu Shitian's eyes were rippling, and she smiled silently. She would take it seriously if he said anything more.
She calmed down and cared about Chen Xizhu, "Don't make people worry so much next time."
Chen Xizhu was still awake. The two chatted about the senior schoolmate issue for more than half an hour, and Chen Xizhu decided to turn the page. There are many beautiful girls in the world, so why bother to have a one-sided love for a girl? It's not worth it. It's more interesting to gossip about Shi Yi and Fu Shitian.
She said confidently: "Shi Yi is definitely different to you! Tian Tian, do you want to really try to pursue him?"
Fu Shitian evaded the question: "Xizhu, please stop instigating me."
Shi Yi is also a straight woman.
"I don't want to not even be able to be friends." She thought about every little thing that happened between her and Shi Yi over the past six months, and her heart felt soft and bitter.
Those who try to reach the stars from a high building will lose the qualification to even look up at the stars.
Fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
As the day dawned, Fu Shitian ended her night chat with Chen Xizhu. She checked the alarm clock and was about to fall asleep when something suddenly flashed through her mind.
For some unknown reason, she unlocked her phone and logged into WeChat, which she hadn't used for a long time.
There is a little red dot lying quietly in the new friend's place -
I don’t know when, Shi Yi had already added her.
The author has something to say: Fu Xiaotuji: Shi Yi, do you want to take a nap together? I sleep very well.
Shi Yi put the little rabbit on the bed.
In the middle of the night, Shi Yi looked at the little rabbit in his arms and her unruly little paws: Is she sleeping well
The little rabbit rubbed its furry little ears against Shi Yi. She had no idea what she was dreaming about, but her ears were getting redder as she slept.
Shi Yi:
Is it time to change to a thinner quilt
