His vision disappeared, and Fu Shitian felt weak all over. All his senses seemed to be focused on the tip of his nose and philtrum, which were being stimulated by Shi Yi's breathing.
She knew that in the next second, or even less than the next second, all the stars in her life would be lit up by Shi Yi.
But before the longed-for warmth and tenderness could arrive, the driver coughed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a second earlier, exploding like thunder between the two of them.
Shi Yi quickly stepped back and murmured, "Sorry, I'm a little drunk."
Fu Shitian's hand, which she hadn't had time to remove from Shi Yi's head, fell on Shi Yi's shoulder. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, sat up straight, and blushed all the way to her neck.
Great joy, excitement, and nervousness filled her chest, and every breath she took became scalding hot. The air conditioner was still on, but Fu Shitian was sweating from the heat. Although he didn't kiss her, Shi Yi just... clearly wanted to kiss her.
She smiled shyly and couldn't help turning her head to peek at Shi Yi. Shi Yi stood very straight and tilted his head to look out the window. In the dim light, Fu Shitian saw that in the reflection of the glass, there was a heavy haze between Shi Yi's delicate eyebrows and eyes, as if a storm was about to come.
In an instant, Fu Shitian's heart plummeted from the sky.
Shi Yi looked sober and calm, without a trace of shame or joy.
The eagerness and confusion just now seemed like a dream.
Fu Shitian had a premonition of uneasiness. The air suddenly cooled down, and the air conditioner blew the sweat sticking to her back, chilling her to the bone. She shivered in the dog days of summer.
The atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to breathe. In the agony, the driver stopped the car and said that they had arrived at their destination.
Fu Shitian didn't move. Shi Yi opened the car door without looking at her. He spoke the first words since the interrupted intimate contact: "Get out of the car."
It was so bland, no emotion could be heard.
Fu Shitian’s eyes became increasingly dim.
The two walked side by side from the parking lot to the elevator entrance. Fu Shitian mustered up the courage to ask, "Shi Yi, are you dizzy? Do you want me to help you?"
Shi Yi said succinctly: "No, no need."
The air fell silent again and remained quiet until we entered the house.
Fu Shitian was still changing his shoes, Shi Yi said: "I'm going to take a shower first, you should get some rest early."
Fu Shitian squeezed out a bitter "OK" from her throat, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Shi Yi still didn't look at her.
Was Shi Yi unable to face her, or was he unable to face the fact that they had almost kissed just now? Shi Yi had really never thought about liking himself.
The sensor light in the entrance hall went out, and she sat quietly in the darkness. She felt as if a hole had been drilled in her heart, empty and painful.
It made her desperately want to make up for it.
From the Valentine's Day gifts to the passionate love just now, and even the rabbit that is still in the room at this moment, all these tenderness and affection that I have truly felt, are they all the result of drinking too much and my own self-conceit
Maybe, maybe Shi Yi was just hesitating? Waiting for me to take the initiative
She suppressed her fear, took a deep breath, stood up, made a cup of honey water with trembling hands, and brought it to Shi Yi's door.
After two knocks on the door, the room was very quiet, so quiet that Fu Shitian suspected that Shi Yi had already gone into the bathroom, or just didn't want to respond to him.
Shi Yi's footsteps sounded and the door opened: "What's the matter?"
There was no smile on Shi Yi's face.
Fu Shitian stretched out his hand and tried to act calmly, saying, "I made you some honey water. You might feel better if you drink some."
Shi Yi's eyes fell on her feet, "No, I'm brushing my teeth."
Fu Shitian gazed at Shi Yi's face lovingly, choked up, and his fingertips holding the glass turned white. He said softly: "Shi Yi, didn't you ask me if I had anything to tell you last night? I..."
"It's late now, and I don't want to listen." Shi Yi interrupted her, his tone even revealing a rare impatience.
From beginning to end, she was unwilling to look at herself even more.
Fu Shitian's last bit of luck was shattered, and she could no longer deceive herself. She stepped back in panic, not daring to bother Shi Yi any more, and said with difficulty: "Ah, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Then... good night."
He staggered away at a trot.
The honey water spilled all the way, but she didn't dare to stop or look back until she was completely thrown into the deserted darkness.
She leaned against the closed door and slowly squatted down. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she covered her eyes to hold them back, but there was nothing she could do.
What are you doing, crying like this in someone else's house? She looked up and dared not blink, her breathing was trembling, not a sob escaped. Her throat was full of the taste of rust.
The best way is not to think about it. But Shi Yi's cold expression and cold words kept replaying in my mind.
Adults often say no without showing any emotion.
She was not someone who could not read people's faces. Shi Yi had already given her the last bit of respect.
She pinched herself hard, just like her grandmother pinched her when she was a child and couldn't hold back her tears. After the sharp pain, she suppressed her tears like a conditioned reflex.
She wiped her tears, went out with wet wipes and tissues, and kneeled on one leg in the reflected light from the guest room, wiping away the spilled honey water piece by piece on the floor.
Carefully, as if wiping some important treasure.
She was going to return to her place. She should restore this place to the way it was originally.
Shi Yi has been good enough to her, and she shouldn't cause her any trouble.
She went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then cleaned the bathroom as quietly as possible. She returned to the guest room and cleaned it up. Finally, there was nothing left to do, so she held the rabbit and watched with care how the night turned into day.
It's dawn and the dream is completely over.
She placed the rabbit on the neatly folded quilt and went out of the room to prepare breakfast for Shi Yi.
Shi Yi got up later than usual on weekends. It was already half past nine, and the door was still closed and motionless.
Fu Shitian put the breakfast in the pressure cooker to keep it warm, thought for a while, went to the study, found a sticky note and wrote: "Shi Yi, I saw that you were not awake yet, so I didn't bother you. Something urgent happened at home, so I changed my ticket to noon.
Breakfast in the pressure cooker.
Thank you for your care during this time. [Smiley face]”
She slipped the sticky note under the crack of Shi Yi's bedroom door, went back to the room, picked up the suitcase and walked out, trying not to make any noise to disturb Shi Yi.
When he reached the door, the door had already opened and the man was already standing outside the door. Shi Yi's voice suddenly rang out.
"I'll take you to the station." She looked at her across the entrance. She was dressed neatly and it was obvious that she had been up for a long time.
Finally I saw her eyes again.
Clear and cold, just like the first time we met.
Fu Shitian smiled slightly: "No need, go and have breakfast."
Shi Yi didn't say anything.
Fu Shitian said, "I'm leaving now. Bye."
She closed the door, turned and walked towards the elevator.
The elevator went up once, and she stood there, not moving. The elevator went down, and then it went up again.
Fu Shitian laughed, and a tear suddenly rolled down.
What are you thinking about? She scolded herself, dragged her suitcase into the elevator, and sank with the elevator, sinking into the endless deep sea.
The author has something to say: I don’t want to keep you in suspense, so it’s a bit short. I’ll just revise it and post it first.
Good night.
Let me rub the little bunny today, woo woo woo.
