"Do you... do you like... Tian Fuzhen?" Fu Shitian unconsciously tightened her hands while holding the little rabbit, and her head felt dizzy with congestion. She wanted to hide herself, but she was afraid of missing Shi Yi's most instinctive reaction.
Shi Yi was slightly stunned. "It's okay." She took back her hand that was pulling the rabbit, bent down and put the night light into the bag, and asked curiously, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
It doesn't look like he received anything at all.
Fu Shitian's eyes darkened, and then he regained consciousness. His knuckles were slightly painful from being pinched by the handle of the plastic bag. "Nothing... nothing."
"While standing here waiting, I heard someone passing by say that she would be coming to Shanghai to attend a music festival at the end of the month."
"You like her?"
"I'm fine too."
"So do you want to go to this music festival?" Shi Yi answered casually, taking both handles of the bag in his own hands, preparing to carry the whole bag by himself.
Fu Shitian came back to his senses and quickly reached out to grab the handle, "Let me carry it."
Shi Yi didn't let go.
Fu Shitian didn't let go either: "Didn't you say that you provide the materials and I provide the labor?" His voice was soft, but his tone was insistent.
Shi Yi looked at her and compromised, "Then wait a moment."
She walked towards the service desk, scanned the code and asked for two more bags. She came back and divided the contents of the bags into three parts, gave one bag to Fu Shitian, and took two bags herself.
Fu Shitian held the rabbit in one hand and the bag in the other and tried to bargain: "Let me carry that bag."
Shi Yi looked at her and asked, "Does it hurt your hand?"
Fu Shitian was stunned for a moment and subconsciously clenched his knuckles which were still a little numb.
"Keep your hands for my lower body." Shi Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly and walked straight to the escalator.
Fu Shitian stood there holding the rabbit, looking at her slim back, and the bubbles in his heart began to float up again.
Is Shi Yi so... attentive and considerate to his other friends
This time, she didn't know whether it was Chen Xizhu's voice or her own voice that echoed in her head, "She treats you very differently..."
Fu Shitian was afraid of being too sentimental, but he couldn't help himself.
Not receiving Hebe Tien's signal doesn't mean anything, right? Although Xizhu joked that 70% of gays like Hebe Tien when gossiping with her about who her favorite girl is, there is at least a 30% margin of error. Besides, it was just a joke.
She convinced herself and stood on the same step of the escalator with Shi Yi, her mind full of thoughts.
Shi Yi... could also be... really gay and not aware of it? In Chen Xizhu's words, he just hasn't gotten the hang of it
Her heart was beating fast and her head was hot again. She couldn't help but turn her head to peek at Shi Yi. Shi Yi noticed it and looked at her.
The elevator went up to the first floor, and the sunlight shone through the glass door onto Shi Yi's face, making her look bright.
Fu Shitian thought, she didn’t know whether Shi Yi could come to her senses, but she must have been possessed by a ghost.
She almost wanted to ask, "Shi Yi... then maybe, do you like blue?"
Blue is the warmest color.
Fortunately, Shi Yi spoke before her, "We're here, watch your feet."
Fu Shitian hurriedly walked out of the elevator area, took a deep breath to clear his mind, and was glad that he did not start this adventure in such an inappropriate occasion.
The two returned home, and Fu Shitian made Shi Yi the noodles she had been craving for. Seeing Shi Yi eating with satisfaction, Fu Shitian felt that he would be full without eating.
After lunch, the two took an hour's nap and then spent the whole afternoon studying together in the study room. Fu Shitian studied for IELTS while Shi Yi reviewed for acca. They didn't disturb each other and it was a quiet and beautiful time.
Fu Shitian was in charge of the cooking again that night, and he made a simple three dishes and a soup. Shi Yi ate half a bowl of rice for the first time in a long time, and joked, "Don't sign up for an internship next summer vacation. Why don't you open a cooking training class for home cooking?"
Fu Shitian's voice was soft: "Teach you alone?"
Shi Yi cleaned up the dishes: "Can't you learn to lose money?"
Fu Shitian laughed.
One of them was washing for the first time while the other was rinsing. They were chatting under the light and somehow ended up talking about the music festival they had talked about at noon.
Shi Yi said, "I checked the time of the music festival. It's a week after your internship ends. Do you want to stay a few more days? I'll take two tickets, and we can go together then."
Fu Shitian didn't expect that Shi Yi still remembered this. She felt guilty and sweet at the same time. "It probably won't work. Don't bother me. I have already told my family the time to go back. I may have to go back to the countryside to accompany my grandma." She didn't want Shi Yi to spend any more money.
Shi Yi believed it, "Is that so..." After a pause, she changed the subject and asked, "Music festivals usually have a lot of folk and rock singers. I've heard you sing Zhang Xuan's songs before. Do you prefer this type of songs?"
Fu Shitian handed the last bowl to Shi Yi, "Well, it seems a little bit."
Shi Yi laughed softly.
Fu Shitian felt inexplicably embarrassed, "You...what are you laughing at?"
Shi Yi turned off the faucet and said nonchalantly, "Nothing, I just imagined you singing rock and roll."
The first time she saw her singing Zhang Xuan in the night, she thought Fu Shitian was like a daisy blooming in the wind and rain. At this moment, she imagined Fu Shitian with a big hair and ripped jeans singing rock and roll. For some reason, there was only a pink and tender frizzy bunny in her mind. She stared at Fu Shitian, and her smile deepened significantly.
Fu Shitian was stunned for a moment, and felt that she was definitely not thinking of any beautiful pictures. He said half in a scolding and half in amusement: "You are so good at making associations."
Shi Yi accepted it, "It also reminded me of a movie."
"Um?"
"It was released not long ago last year and is quite popular. I think you might like it." She invited, "Would you like to watch it together?"
Fu Shitian did not refuse.
So the two of them went downstairs for a walk, and when they came back, they went to the audio-visual room to watch a movie. The audio-visual room was simply decorated, with a huge 4k screen hanging on the wall, speakers on both sides of the screen, and a leather sofa and soft carpet opposite, where you can sit or lie down.
Shi Yi turned off the lights, set up the projection, and sat side by side with Fu Shitian on the carpet.
The name of the movie is "Inside Llewyn Davis", and Fu Shitian thought she would like it. But she didn't expect that the story would develop completely different from what she imagined.
At the end of the film, the credits were still displayed on the projection. Shi Yi recalled the last shot and shared with Fu Shitian: "The filming structure of the whole film is quite thoughtful."
Fu Shitian responded sullenly, "Yeah."
Shi Yi felt that her voice was not right and turned his head to look at her. In the dim light, Fu Shitian looked up at the screen, her lower lip bitten by her teeth to a pale color.
"What's wrong?" Shi Yi softened his voice unconsciously.
Fu Shitian looked at her, forced a smile, and said softly: "No, I was just carried away by my emotions."
"Do you like it?"
"dislike."
She rarely expressed such strong emotions. Shi Yi was slightly surprised. Fu Shitian said, "Too negative, too repressed."
The hero was in a dilemma from the beginning. He tried, changed, and even compromised. In the end, the dilemma only became more embarrassing. The last scene of the movie returns to the scene at the beginning where the hero was knocked to the ground.
It's like the reincarnation of a loser.
"After going around in circles, everything finally returned to the starting point. It seemed like something had happened, but it also seemed like nothing had happened. It seemed to be saying that for a loser in life, it is useless to struggle any more."
"Shi Yi, I don't like this feeling." Her voice was very soft and low, revealing a sense of powerlessness.
Shi Yi looked at her profile hidden in the shadows, and thought of her past. Suddenly, he felt as if something had stabbed his heart. It wasn't very painful, but it was very uncomfortable.
Shi Yi didn’t know if this was called pity.
"I don't like it either." She confirmed.
Fu Shitian just smiled and remained silent as he looked at the screen that had jumped back to the homepage. But in fact, this is real life.
She didn't say anything, and Shi Yi didn't know how to comfort her.
"Do you want to look at the stars?" Shi Yi suddenly asked.
Fu Shitian looked puzzled.
Shi Yi closed the curtain, walked to the low cabinet with familiarity, took out something, fumbled around for a few times, and the stars in the sky shone again in the darkness.
Fu Shitian opened his mouth, and the melancholy expression on his face was replaced by surprise, "Is it the same starry sky instrument from last time?" This time the starry sky was blue, as real as last time, and even more dreamy than last time.
"Yes. There are several different scenes that can be set." Shi Yi returned to her side, relaxed and lay flat on the carpet, with one hand under his head, and turned his head to ask Fu Shitian, "Do you want to try lying down?"
In the flickering, starlight flickered in Shi Yi's eyes, on the tip of his nose, and even on his thin lips. Fu Shitian's throat was dry, "Is it okay?"
“The carpet is clean.”
That's not the question. Fu Shitian's throat slid, and she couldn't resist the temptation. She bit her lip and slowly lay down beside Shi Yi. She lay straight, her heart beating like a drum, and she didn't dare to turn sideways to face Shi Yi.
Shi Yi's cold voice came into his ears, "When I'm in a bad mood, I like to lie down like this and look at the stars."
"When you look at them, you'll feel that the universe is vast and humans are as small as dust. Your vision will become broader and your mood will become more relaxed."
Her voice had a magical power. With just a few words, she completely smoothed out Fu Shitian's disappointment from the movie. Perhaps what was important was not what Shi Yi said, but that it was Shi Yi who was doing the comforting.
Fu Shitian couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Shi Yi.
Shi Yi's gaze remained on her cheek.
Their eyes met and their breaths were close, so close that Fu Shitian had an illusion - at this moment their hearts were also close.
"Shi Yi..." Fu Shitian grabbed the carpet under him.
Shi Yi looked at her inquiringly, as if with a hint of encouragement.
"Shall we go to the movies together tomorrow?"
Shi Yi smiled, "Aren't you afraid that you won't like it?"
"So... can I pick the movie tomorrow?" Fu Shitian's voice was filled with uneasiness.
Shi Yi didn't notice, "Okay."
Fu Shitian made up her mind, and slowly, she felt more relaxed. She regained some interest, "Actually, I don't dislike everything that happened just now."
"Um?"
“I quite like the interlude.”
"five hundred miles?" Shi Yi's English pronunciation is very nice.
Fu Shitian probably guessed which song it was, but still asked, "Which song is this?"
Shi Yi explained, "It's the song that the hero's lover sang in the tavern."
Fu Shitian shook her head, "I can't quite remember." She said weakly, "You... hum?"
Shi Yi looked at her for two seconds and laughed from his nose. "Are you trying to trick me into singing?"
Fu Shitian's ears suddenly burned, "You found out..." She covered her eyes and acted like an ostrich.
Shi Yi sneered again.
The air was quiet for a few seconds. Fu Shitian was about to find another topic, but Shi Yi's low and pleasant humming sounded under the starry sky.
The author has something to say: Chen Xizhu shook Shi Yi and said with great regret: Honey, that is not pity, that is love!
Blue is the Warmest Color, aka, Adele's Life.
However, this was not what the little rabbit wanted to show Shi Yi.
