A warm current flowed through Shi Yi's heart. She couldn't help but hug Fu Shitian tightly, lowered her head, and buried half of her face in Fu Shitian's shoulder.
Fu Shitian was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing, fearing that her breathing would disturb Shi Yi. She had never felt Shi Yi's heartbeat so clearly before - only separated by two thin layers of chest, it was so real that it was beating along with her heart.
It's like an illusion, but not an illusion; it's like an echo, but also like a response. In silence, we are close.
After a few seconds, Shi Yi laughed very softly, raised his head from her shoulder, and let go of her a little. Fu Shitian's impulse was over, and he felt embarrassed, so he quickly loosened his arms around Shi Yi's neck and knelt down in front of Shi Yi obediently.
Her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Shi Yi's expression.
Shi Yi noticed it and found it a little funny. He was the vulnerable one. He was not embarrassed yet, so why was she the first to feel shy
"You want to be my father and mother?" Shi Yi asked with interest.
Fu Shitian looked at her, biting his lip and still looking shy, but nodded firmly.
Shi Yi's eyes flashed with cunning, "Are you sure you are not taking advantage of me?"
Fu Shitian blinked his eyes, looking confused.
"Come on, call daddy?" Shi Yi demonstrated to her.
Fu Shitian's eyes widened suddenly, "I didn't... I didn't mean that..."
A happy curve appeared at the corner of Shi Yi's lips. Fu Shitian knew that Shi Yi was teasing her, so she couldn't help but laugh too, and her whole body relaxed.
The fragile Shi Yi is easier to get close to, but she would rather Shi Yi could always joke with her calmly and calmly. As long as she is happy, other selfish desires are not important.
She rubbed her fingertips unconsciously, and they still felt a little wet. Fu Shitian remembered to remind her: "Shi Yi, do you want to blow dry your hair first? It's not good to use air conditioning with wet hair. It's easy to get a headache."
"Yeah." I was too anxious to come out and apologize just now.
Shi Yi stood up and turned on the light. The moment the strong light flashed, the warmth that had just been there was blurred like a dream by the sobering brightness, and the starry sky was dimmed. Fu Sitian raised his head slightly, feeling lost.
Shi Yi saw that the action of closing the starry sky instrument paused slightly, and suddenly asked: "The report said that there will be a super large moon at 19:18 on July 9th. Do you want to go and see it together then?"
A super-large moon? She had heard of it but had never seen it. Fu Shitian nodded.
Shi Yi closed the stargazer and walked out, saying casually, "It happens to be Sunday that day, so we can eat early and go to the mountaintop park to watch it."
Fu Shitian readily agreed, "Okay."
Until he took a shower, Fu Shitian's heart still beat faster and he couldn't stop his joy when he thought about the whole conversation he had with Shi Yi tonight and Shi Yi's unmistakable tenderness towards him.
Like a happy idiot.
While drying herself, she drew several cute and ugly smiley faces on the misty mirror. After getting dressed, she went back to the bedroom to blow dry her hair. She was blowing her hair with one hand and playing with her phone with the other. Chen Xizhu sent her a message to ask about her: "Did you see it? How was the result?"
Only then did Fu Shitian remember his original plan for tonight.
The same scent of shampoo as Shi Yi's lingered in her nose, and the feeling of Shi Yi leaning on her shoulder seemed to still remain. Amid the noise of the hair dryer, Fu Shitian recalled the sound of their heartbeats that were so close to each other just now.
"I didn't see it. Something happened temporarily."
It was hard to tell whether she was thinking rationally or was too afraid of these pink bubbles being burst. She told Chen Xizhu: "There are still many days left before the summer internship. I don't want to be so anxious."
"I want to wait a while, until we are closer and more confident, and then ask."
Chen Xizhu replied: "Yes, you are right. Otherwise, if the result you ask is not what you want, you will definitely be embarrassed if you continue to live here."
“…” Fu Shitian laughed out of anger. Can’t this guy think of something better
But, in fact, she did have this consideration. Asking may not necessarily bring hope, but not asking can bring a lot of hope.
"Then just enjoy this ambiguity with peace of mind." Chen Xizhu encouraged her.
Is this considered ambiguous? Just thinking that the two ends of the "ambiguity" are connected to himself and Shi Yi, Fu Shitian actually felt happy.
Everything is full of uncertainty, yet everything is full of sweetness.
Friday was a normal training day. At noon, Shiyi, Jianlu and several other classmates went out to eat. Because they would eat for many consecutive days, they decided from the beginning to try every restaurant one by one. Today they went to a small noodle restaurant. It was not big and the decoration was a bit old, but fortunately it looked quite clean.
It was lunchtime, and the noodle shop was still cleaning up after the customers had just left, so Shi Yi and the others had to wait outside for a while. An orange kitten ran out from nowhere, not afraid of people, and stopped a few steps away from them, looking around curiously.
Its fur is shiny yellow and white, and its face is round and very cute.
Looks very familiar.
Shi Yi smiled slightly and subconsciously turned on the camera on his phone. He squatted down, zoomed in and took two pictures.
Jian Luhe stood behind her and inadvertently witnessed the whole process of Shi Yi taking the photos, opening WeChat and sending the photos.
Has Shi Yi changed? When did he become the kind of person who shares all the time
"Who did you send it to?" Jian Luhe couldn't help but ask.
"Sitian." Shi Yi replied naturally. She asked Fu Shitian, "Does it look like the cat you fed at the B&B that day?" Fu Shitian might be busy and didn't respond.
The tables in the small noodle restaurant were cleared, and the classmate in front greeted everyone. Shi Yi locked his phone and followed in.
After sitting down, Jian Lu and they ordered dumplings, while Shi Yi ordered noodles alone.
The screen of the mobile phone placed on the table lit up. Shi Yi only took a glance and the corners of his lips curved up again.
She unlocked her phone and replied to the message. Jian Lu looked at her and felt something was wrong. Is Shi Yi so fond of laughing recently? This is too abnormal.
She gossiped: "Did Si Tian reply to you?"
"Yeah." Fu Shitian replied her with a smiling emoticon and said affirmatively, "They really do look alike. The face shape and beard are especially similar."
Jian Lu was disappointed. She thought something happened to Shi Yi!
"You and Si Tian have been getting along very well recently. I'm almost jealous." Jian Luhe teased.
Shi Yi looked at the screen and saw Fu Shitian asking, "Everyone else eats dumplings, why don't you eat them?" He typed, "Because dumplings outside are generally not delicious," and responded casually, "You are different."
Jian Luhe asked: "What's the difference?"
Shi Yi was stunned by her question. What's the difference? There are many things she could answer, but for some reason she suddenly felt something she couldn't explain.
Fu Shitian replied on the screen: "Do you want to eat it? Or we can make dumplings for ourselves this weekend?"
Shi Yi's smile deepened, and Jian Luhe was surprised: "What are you laughing at again? Why do you need to think about it for so long?"
Shi Yi finally replied to her: "I just discovered that she can make dumplings, but you can only eat them."
The students who were eating at the same table were all amused when they heard this answer, "Lu He, quickly give her some dumplings, I think she wants to eat the dumplings on your plate."
"No, she's not like that. She just dislikes me." Jian Luhe laughed. Everyone was joking and laughing. Shi Yi also forgot the strange feeling he had just had in his heart.
She agreed with Fu Shitian's suggestion: "Okay, let's make it on Sunday. It's just in time for us to finish eating early and go to the mountaintop park to watch the moon."
With this arrangement, they actually started making dumplings on Sunday afternoon.
Shi Yi imagined that making dumplings was simply to buy some dumpling wrappers and wrap the minced meat in them, but he didn't expect that Fu Shitian would make it completely differently.
When Fu Shitian started adding various things to stir the meat, Shi Yi was surprised while handing her things. When Fu Shitian started stirring the flour, Shi Yi was completely confused.
"What is this for?"
“To make dumpling wrappers.”
“Aren’t the dumpling wrappers purchased?”
"It tastes better if you make it yourself." Fu Shitian, with dimples on her cheeks, poured the batter onto the chopping board and kneaded it. After kneading it into dough, she put the dough into a bowl and let it rise for thirty minutes, then took it out and pressed it repeatedly.
Shi Yi couldn't help, she just watched from the sidelines, and was lost in thought before she knew it. When Fu Shitian bent her four fingers to press the dough, it was white and tender, which always reminded her of the white gloves on the orange cat's paws.
The flour on the back of her hand looked just like the fluffy hair on an orange cat's paw, and it looked very nice to touch.
It makes people want to touch it.
Shi Yi dipped his fingertips in some flour and called Fu Shitian: "Shitian..."
Fu Shitian instinctively turned to look at her.
Shi Yi reached out and gently touched the tip of Fu Shitian's nose, brushed across her nose, and rubbed across her lip beads, like a feather gently scratching the heartstrings. The force of the pluck was almost imperceptible, and the heartstrings were really trembling, leaving a long aftertaste. Fu Shitian looked at Shi Yi, forgot to blink, and even slowed down her breathing.
Shi Yi looked at her, and there seemed to be a clear lake hidden in his dark eyes. For a moment, Fu Shitian seemed to catch a hint of burning emotions from them.
Shi Yi curled his lips and turned out of the kitchen.
Fu Shitian stood there in a daze, looking at the direction where Shi Yi left, and unconsciously raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose.
"Don't move." Shi Yi's clear voice came. Fu Shitian paused, and looked at Shi Yi's camera with a confused look.
Shi Yi pressed the shutter button with his knuckles and popped his head out from behind the SLR camera, revealing a cold face with a smile on it.
Fu Shitian focused his eyes, bit his lip, and couldn't help but let a shy smile slowly spread out.
"What are you doing?" she said softly.
Shi Yi handed the camera to her and said calmly, "Leave this as evidence. A kitten once jumped into the kitchen."
Fu Shitian then realized what Shi Yi had done to her nose. She raised her head to scold Shi Yi, but when she saw Shi Yi's face, which still looked calm but could no longer scare her, she chuckled.
She wiped her nose with her hand and asked softly, "Shi Yi, do you know what you look like now?"
Shi Yi took two photos of the dough, "What?"
"A naughty child. When my sister was five or six years old, she loved doing this kind of thing the most."
Shi Yi glanced at her with a soft light in his eyes, "Then do you know what you look like now?" She must have forgotten that her hands were also covered with flour.
"What?"
Shi Yi just smiled and said nothing, and answered in his heart: little cat.
"Don't you like doing this kind of thing?" Shi Yi asked casually.
Fu Shitian said: "I like it, but I don't dare."
"Why?"
Fu Shitian paused while kneading the dough, as if he was still laughing, "I'll get scolded." But his dimples faded.
The upward curve of Shi Yi's lips also fell.
She thought of the unpleasant things that Fu Shitian's sister had done to Fu Shitian, which she had overheard at the B&B that day, as well as Fu Shitian's overly excellent cooking skills and overly tolerant personality. Her eyes darkened.
The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become dull.
Fu Shitian immediately perked up and joked, "I can't imagine what you were scolded for when you were a kid."
Shi Yi put the SLR on the table and said, "I have rarely been scolded since I can remember."
"It's not that I did a good job, it's that my mother rarely gets angry. She likes to reason with people, and she doesn't care whether I understand her or not."
Fu Shitian smiled. It seems that Shi Yi’s personality is not like her mother’s... and doesn’t seem to be like her father’s either
"Auntie is such a gentle mother."
As she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and her mood dropped again.
Originally, she had it too.
The dough was kneaded so long that it exceeded the length of the chopping board, but Fu Shitian was completely unaware of it.
"Si Tian." Shi Yi called her.
Fu Shitian came back to her senses and looked at her. Shi Yi reached out and held her face, gently wiping her nose and cheeks with his thumb.
She lowered her eyes, and her focused gaze made Fu Shitian's heart beat wildly.
"You can have it too." Shi Yi suddenly said.
What? Fu Shitian's brain became dull due to the fever, and she was still looking for the answer. Shi Yi invited her:
"Call me grandma."
The author has something to say: I’m afraid that you won’t understand, so I’ll leave you with another half sentence in the next chapter.
"Don't call me auntie."
Shi Yi rubbing the little rabbit: Do you want me to call you daddy
The little rabbit's face turned red and he hummed and couldn't speak.
Shi Yi continued to rub the little rabbit: Call me mom~
The little rabbit's eyes were wet and red as smoke.
Yin Fanlu: Locked! So cute!
Chen Xizhu: Emmmm, it’s time to lock it. The red one.
Sorry, I'm late.
