It was 6:30 in the morning in July, and the sky was already bright. Fu Shitian woke up according to his biological clock, and vaguely felt that something seemed to be different.
It's so bright, where are the bed curtains? There's no music playing in the square today? She turned her head carelessly and saw Jian Luhe's sleeping face across the aisle. Fu Shitian was startled for a moment, then woke up, rolled over, and lay down to look at the bed opposite.
Shi Yi was sleeping quietly in front of her. Her long hair was scattered on the pillow, and some strands even went over the bed rails and reached Fu Shitian's pillow. Her face was as gentle as a sleeping beauty, but her hands and feet were ostentatious as if she was about to kill a wild animal.
Fu Shitian's eyes were filled with laughter. She didn't sleep very well... but, she was so cute. She didn't dare to take a sneak shot, so she just lay down again, adjusted the angle of her phone so that the screen could reflect the top of Shi Yi's head, and secretly enjoyed this rare moment.
I don’t know how long it took, but the phone screen lit up and a pop-up window popped up. It was Chen Xizhu whimpering, “I was woken up by the pain again.”
Fu Shitian was shocked and quickly clicked to check, only to find that Chen Xizhu had sent her so many messages in the middle of the night.
"Is the pain very severe? Are there any painkillers in the dormitory?" Fu Shitian was concerned about the key point.
Chen Xizhu was surprised: "Tiantian, you are awake. Yes, it hurts suddenly now. I plan to go out and buy some medicine when the pharmacy opens later."
Fu Shitian glanced at the time. It was only seven o'clock and the pharmacy usually opened at nine o'clock.
"Then wait for me. I have ibuprofen in my dormitory. I'll bring you two."
"Ah!! Tiantian, you are my savior!" Chen Xizhu was delighted.
Fu Shitian chuckled, sat up, picked up his spare clothes and tiptoed out of bed.
When she came out of the bathroom after washing up, Yin Fanlu had also gotten up and was stretching her waist facing the floor-to-ceiling window. She looked very energetic and vibrant, which made people feel good just by looking at her.
"You get up so early." Yin Fanlu turned around and greeted her in a whisper.
Fu Shitian smiled, "You're up early too."
"I have to catch the early train home." Seeing Fu Shitian looking for something in a storage box that looked like it was specially used to store medicines, she asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Shitian shook his head: "No, it's Xizhu who has a toothache. I brought it to her for emergency."
"Wasn't you fine yesterday? Why does your tooth suddenly hurt?" Yin Fanlu said nonchalantly.
Fu Shitian thought of Chen Xizhu's complaint and answered tentatively, "Well, it seems that he said that he ate something too sweet."
Yin Fanlu's expression became noticeably subtle.
It was really intentional, Fu Shitian was amused. Since she met her, she always felt that Yin Fanlu was a gentle and generous lady. It seems that the 2,000-word inspection is really frustrating.
"Then I'll send it over first." She pretended not to notice.
Yin Fanlu nodded.
When they were almost downstairs at the law school dormitory, Fu Shitian sent a message to Chen Xizhu. Chen Xizhu must have run down as soon as she received the message. When Fu Shitian arrived, she was already waiting at the dormitory door.
After giving Chen Xizhu the breakfast and ibuprofen she brought with her, they exchanged a few words. Seeing how exhausted she looked, Fu Shitian asked her to go upstairs to eat and take medicine. Chen Xizhu covered her cheeks and spoke incoherently, but she did not forget to remind her: "Did you read what I sent you yesterday? Are you going to eat at her house today? Come on, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, and a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold!"
"What? Stop talking nonsense and go upstairs."
Chen Xizhu looked back every few steps, "You can do it! Take her down!"
Fu Shitian blushed and laughed at what she said. He ignored her, bit his lip, turned around and walked back. As he walked, his dimples could not help but ripple.
The morning light shines through the gaps between the leaves, warm and evaporating all the coldness. Shanghai always has such good weather.
Fu Shitian's smile deepened, and her steps became more brisk. She never doubted that coming to Shenda was the best decision she had made in all these years.
Back at 15:10, Yin Fanlu had already left, and Shi Yi and Jian Luhe had also gotten up. The three of them went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast together, and Jian Luhe took her brother's car home, while Fu Shitian and Shi Yi went to the Overseas Education College to pick up the car and go back to Shi Yi's home.
This was the second time Fu Shitian came to Shi Yi's house, and he actually felt a sense of familiarity.
This time after entering the door, Shi Yi did not tell her that she did not need to change shoes. Instead, he told her the password of the security door, then opened the shoe cabinet and took out two pairs of slippers.
One white and one pink. The white pair was the one Fu Shitian had seen last time. They were Shi Yi's own slippers. The pink pair looked brand new and were not there when he came last time.
Clearly different from the other identical guest slippers in the shoe cabinet.
Fu Shitian's eyes fell on the slippers, and something hit his heart, making it feel sore and soft, and he couldn't take his eyes away at all.
Shi Yi changed his shoes and saw Fu Shitian still standing there, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Fu Shitian came back to her senses, smiled, shook her head, sat down and changed her shoes. She mechanically untied her shoelaces, thinking over and over again in her mind.
I wonder if her aunt at her uncle’s house bought her the pair of slippers she hadn’t worn for a long time
I clearly told myself not to speculate about my aunt and not to care about this matter. But it turned out that I still kept it in my mind.
It was a lack of a sense of belonging, making her feel like a bird without feet, unable to land and resting.
Shi Yi always gave her the illusion that she could land safely.
She stepped on the comfortable soles of the slippers and said softly, "Shi Yi, I like this pair of slippers."
Shi Yi smiled faintly, "Does it still fit? I remembered to buy it when I was shopping with my mom a few days ago."
"Don't you have slippers?" Fu Shitian asked tentatively.
Shi Yi put the car keys on the coffee table and said casually, "The last time I saw you, your clothes didn't fit you."
Fu Shitian's throat felt dry, and the spring water in his heart was completely disturbed by her.
Shi Yi was unaware of anything and turned on the air conditioner, continuing to casually tell her about the placement of things at home and his own plans for the next few days.
The internship that Fu Shitian applied for only starts on the 10th. Shi Yi has signed up as a volunteer for the negotiation meeting and will have to attend training starting tomorrow, and will not be back until six o'clock every evening.
She asked if Fu Shitian had any problem solving her own lunch, and Fu Shitian said that not only was it okay, he could also prepare dinner for her.
Shi Yi smiled and said, "Well, you can give the noodles back to me now."
Still remembering it, Fu Shitian laughed, "If you want to eat, I can make it at noon."
Shi Yi opened the refrigerator and checked, but there was nothing in it. "Then let's go to the supermarket later, and you can check if there is anything you need to buy."
"Okay." In fact, it was only a month's stay. For Fu Shitian, having a bed and a shelter from the wind and rain was enough. But Shi Yi always made her feel...
They had the illusion of a home.
After leaving the kitchen, Shi Yi took her to visit the study, audio-visual room and bathroom. After a short rest, the two went out to the supermarket together.
The supermarket was in a square not far away from the residential area. The two of them walked over holding an umbrella and arrived quickly.
In the refrigerated area, Shi Yi asked her: "Do you drink yogurt? How about Yakult? Is this flavor okay?"
In the ingredients area, Shi Yi compared the various sauce packets and asked her: "Will this be useful? What about this? I think this one will taste good?"
She stood in front of the shopping cart, with a hint of worldly air between her cold eyes and brows. I casually asked her all kinds of trivial things. She was very intimate and homely.
It was a scene that Fu Shitian had only dared to imagine in his dreams.
Until he and Shi Yi were standing in line to check out, Fu Shitian still felt a little unreal. The cashier had already started scanning the items, and Fu Shitian came to his senses and went to get his wallet.
Shi Yi reached out and took Fu Shitian's wallet and stuffed it directly back into Fu Shitian's small bag.
"Shi Yi..."
Shi Yi did not allow any arguments, "I will provide the ingredients, you will do the work." Seeing Fu Shitian frowning and looking embarrassed, she softened her eyes and negotiated with her, "If it doesn't taste good, will you pay me back?"
What? Fu Shitian was amused by her and his brows relaxed.
After paying the bill, the two of them walked out, each carrying one side of the bag. When they passed a boutique, Shi Yi suddenly stopped and said, "Go pick out a rabbit."
Fu Shitian: "???"
Shi Yi said seriously, "Don't you sleep with your rabbit doll at night?" When she woke up in the morning, she sat up and saw the little rabbit on Fu Shitian's bed.
No wonder I felt like she was holding something yesterday, and no wonder that night, she kept snuggling into her arms and hugged her tightly.
Fu Shitian's face turned red immediately, and she argued weakly: "I didn't, I just... I was just playing with it." Because it would take up some space, she didn't feel comfortable bringing the rabbit with her.
Shi Yi looked at her with a smile.
Fu Shitian's face turned even redder. She grabbed the handle of the bag and shook it gently, "Let's go." It was soft and a bit like a spoiled child.
Shi Yi let out a whispered laugh, said "hmm", and actually moved his feet, but he moved towards the boutique.
The bag between the two of them was torn open, and Fu Shitian had no choice but to follow them in for fear of damaging it.
"How about this one?" Shi Yi asked, touching a big rabbit that was half a person's height.
Fu Shitian shook his head repeatedly, "It's too big." You can tell it's expensive without even looking at it.
"What about this one?" Shi Yi changed to a smaller one.
Fu Shitian still shook his head.
Shi Yi glanced at her and handed the other handle of the bag to Fu Shitian, "You carry it."
As she spoke, she picked up a rabbit that was almost as big as the one on Fu Shitian's bed and walked straight to the cashier.
Fu Shitian reacted and chased after him with the heavy bag in his hand. Shi Yi had already started to settle the bill.
"Shi Yi..." Fu Shitian was at a loss.
Shi Yi stuffed the rabbit into Fu Shitian's arms. Fu Shitian was afraid that the rabbit would fall, so he quickly stretched out his free hand to hold it.
The rabbit is furry and soft to hold, which makes people's hearts soften.
With a beep, the payment was successful. Shi Yi looked at Fu Shitian holding the rabbit, and the smile in his eyes deepened. "A housewarming gift."
Is this how the word "housewarming" is used? Fu Shitian's heart was moved, and just as he was about to refute, Shi Yi said: "Wait for me here." Then she walked quickly out of the store.
Fu Shitian had a rabbit and a bag in his hands, and he couldn't keep up at all. He just asked in panic, "Where are you going?"
Shi Yi's words floated back through the air, "Five minutes."
Fu Shitian was standing at the door of the store holding the rabbit.
People passing by couldn't help but look at her twice, either out of curiosity, amusement, or sometimes envy.
Half of Fu Shitian's face was hidden in the rabbit's fur, and the entire ear exposed to the air was blushing.
But a sweet feeling slowly began to seep into my heart.
Shi Yi is so domineering.
Also...really... so sweet.
As she thought about this, Shi Yi's slender figure suddenly reappeared in her sight. In the hustle and bustle of the background, Fu Shitian could only see Shi Yi's beautiful features, walking towards her with graceful steps.
She stood in front of her, lifted the messy hair by her ear, and said in a normal tone: "Okay, the equipment is complete, you can sleep well tonight."
Fu Shitian's eyes fell on the night light in her hand, and his heart started beating wildly.
She looked up at Shi Yi's usually cold but now gentle face. She felt that not only would she be able to sleep well tonight, but she was even having a good dream.
Chen Xizhu's chanting voice echoed in her mind repeatedly, "I suspect she is not straight at all, not straight, not straight..."
Otherwise, I'll really test her.
Fu Shitian was overwhelmed, "Shi Yi..."
Shi Yi couldn't help but pull the fur on the rabbit's face, "Hmm?"
Fu Shitian opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Shi Yi was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"You... you like..."
Shi Yi's action of pulling the rabbit paused involuntarily and his breathing slowed down.
"Do you like Hebe Tien?"
The author has something to say: Chen Xizhu: "…"
Slowly type a question mark.
Is that what I taught you
Fu Xiaotuji said aggrievedly: Wuuuu, didn’t you say this was Jizai’s touchstone
