The rain was dripping outside the two of them, but silence was flowing between the two people under the umbrella.
Fu Shitian kept his shoulder a fist's distance from Shi Yi and followed her steps, walking carefully and nervously.
Is it okay to keep silent like this? Will Shi Yi feel awkward? Should I take the initiative to find something to talk to her about? What should I say to her
Fu Shitian was racking his brains when Shi Yi spoke first: "You just introduced yourself and said that you are from Ningcheng, right?"
Fu Shitian subconsciously confirmed: "Yes, I am."
"Is this your first time in Shencheng?"
Shi Yi seemed to ask casually, but Fu Shitian's nerves suddenly tensed up.
"Well... it's not the first time." Fu Shitian is not good at lying.
Seeing that she had no intention of continuing to explain, Shi Yi asked her: "Have you been here before?" Shencheng is also a tourist city.
"Yeah." Fu Shitian dug his nails into his palms and answered softly and vaguely: "I like it here."
She was a little flustered. If Shi Yi continued to question her, should she confess
Fortunately, Shi Yi just nodded and said nothing more.
The atmosphere between the two fell silent again.
"Did you come out specially to pick up the express?" Fu Shitian mustered up the courage to make small talk.
"Yes, I'll need it tomorrow." Shi Yi spoke briefly and had no intention of continuing the topic.
Fu Shitian was worried that it would be impolite to ask what was in the package, so the topic ended again. She stole a glance at Shi Yi from the corner of her eye. Shi Yi was looking straight ahead, his thin lips tightly pursed, as if he was looking at the road very seriously, but also seemed to be distracted.
He doesn't seem to want to chat.
Fu Shitian's courage was instantly lost.
The sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella seemed to become clearer, overlapping with the tacit footsteps of the two people, as if they were amplified by a loudspeaker and slowly played in Fu Shitian's ears. It was not a long distance, but Fu Shitian cherished it... and suffered. Shi Yi's silence made her unable to help but replay the three sentences Shi Yi had asked her just now. Was she too cautious? Shi Yi had wanted to say something to her on this topic? Was it because her answer was too cold and rude, which made Shi Yi lose the interest in talking to her again
They arrived at the dormitory building and hid under the balcony of the building. Shi Yi held the express in one hand and folded his umbrella neatly. Seeing this, Fu Shitian quickly took two steps forward, swiped his campus card, opened the door of the dormitory building, and stood aside waiting for Shi Yi to enter first.
Shi Yi thanked her, and the two of them went in one after the other.
On the way to the elevator, passing by the study room, Cheng Jialuo, who was sitting by the window, called out to Fu Shitian: "Eh?! Shitian."
Fu Shitian heard it, and Shi Yi heard it too. Fu Shitian looked in the direction of the voice, but before he could respond, Shi Yi said goodbye, "Then I'll leave first."
Fu Shitian turned around and saw her back again - as if she couldn't wait to leave.
Fu Shitian watched and gradually became depressed.
She really messed up something, didn't she
Seeing her in a daze, Cheng Jialuo called her again in surprise. Fu Shitian gathered his emotions and walked towards the window of the study room.
Cheng Jialuo poked her head out and asked her to go and charge the electricity bill for the dormitory first. She said Luo Xi sent her a message saying that the dormitory had a power outage and she couldn't find her campus card in the dark. She was just about to go upstairs to get the campus card when she saw her. Finally, she didn't have to go upstairs again.
Cheng Jialuo suggested: "We all have to pay anyway, why don't you just pay for everyone, fifty per person, and I'll notify everyone in the dormitory group later so that they can give you the money directly when they come back."
Fifty per person, three hundred for six people.
Fu Shitian said in embarrassment: "I don't have enough money in my card."
Cheng Jialuo said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, the self-service recharge for the campus card is next to the charging fee. When we registered, the school has helped us to directly bind the campus card to the bank card. I used it once last time and it's very convenient to operate. You can try it, please, Si Tian." She is the head of the dormitory, and everyone pays the electricity and water bills one after another. She has to remember who has paid and who has not. It's too troublesome.
Fu Shitian explained sincerely: "The money in my bank card is not enough."
Cheng Jialuo was stunned, and the look in her eyes became subtle as she looked at Fu Shitian.
Fu Shitian had seen that kind of look countless times since she was a child. She pretended that she hadn't noticed anything, still standing there with a slight smile, looking at Cheng Jialuo.
Cheng Jialuo quickly hid her gaze and said casually, "Oh, I understand. After all, it's almost the end of the month. Well...then you can hand in yours first, and I'll help everyone else hand in theirs when I come down tomorrow morning." In fact, it was only the middle of the month.
"Yeah, okay." Fu Shitian responded softly.
She turned around and walked calmly towards the water and electricity bill recharge machine, one step, two steps, three steps... She walked past the elevator entrance and into an empty corner, a place with a wall behind and no one in front.
Her steps stopped abruptly.
She tilted her head slightly to look at the simple ceiling above her, paused for about two seconds, and let out a very light sigh. After another two seconds, she closed her eyes, smiled, opened her eyes, and walked forward again.
It was three minutes later when she returned to the thirteenth floor. When she got out of the elevator, she turned her head to see what was going on in 1315 as usual. It was the hot summer, and the air conditioner in 1315 might be on all day, so Fu Shitian would take a look every day when she got off the elevator. Almost nine out of ten times, she could only see the closed white door.
However, unexpectedly, this time the door of Room 1315 was not only open, but Fu Shitian also saw the figure she was looking forward to at a glance.
Shi Yi was sitting on the outermost chair with his kindle in his hand. The chair was probably placed a little far from the desk and was not blocked by the bathroom wall, so Shi Yi's entire profile could be seen by Fu Shitian.
The smile on Fu Shitian's lips was instantly tinged with genuine joy, but then she remembered the embarrassment she had just experienced, and her joy sank again. She forced herself to look away, intending to pass by quietly as usual.
"Eh? Wait a minute." Shi Yi's voice suddenly sounded.
Fu Shitian's body reacted faster than her brain and she stopped right in the middle of the door of room 1315. Then, her head exploded. What if, like in the stadium just now, they didn't call her? !
Just as she was about to walk away pretending nothing had happened, Shi Yi looked at her, raised his lips slightly, and repeated: "Wait for me."
Really, she was talking to herself. And, did she just smile?!
Fu Shitian froze at the door, watching her turn around and get something from the desk, his heart began to beat happily like a deer.
"Have you eaten mooncakes?" Shi Yi came to the door holding an exquisite small iron box.
A faint fragrance wafts into my nose.
Too close, she was now standing only an arm's length away from her, and she could even clearly see a small mole under Shi Yi's earlobe. Fu Shitian calmly pinched her thumb, suspecting that the little deer in her heart might have gone crazy.
She replied to Shi Yi calmly, "No."
Shi Yi hummed, handed the iron box to Fu Shitian, and said in a normal tone: "That's just right, my family brought me a lot of boxes, I'll give you one."
Fu Shitian was flattered and quickly said politely, "Oh, no need, keep it for yourself."
“Too much to eat.”
"Then give it to your roommate."
"It's a lot, enough." Shi Yi seemed to dislike this meaningless push and pull, and said directly: "If you are willing to eat, you don't have to be polite to me. If you really don't want to eat, then don't force yourself."
Fu Shitian stared at her slightly furrowed brows for a second, then chose to obey. She reached out to take the box and said softly, "Then... then thank you."
Shi Yi's brows relaxed and he smiled very lightly: "You're welcome."
Fu Shitian looked at her fleeting smile and wanted to say something else, but there was nothing to say. In the end, he could only say hesitantly: "Then... Then I will go back to the dormitory first?"
"Yeah." Shi Yi was very straightforward. He took a step back and closed the door.
Fu Shitian stood there for two seconds, turned around and took two steps calmly, then suddenly stopped, suddenly hugged the iron box into his arms, crossed his arms and hugged it tightly, unable to stop smiling on his face.
She was embarrassed to scream, but it seemed as if there was a little person in her heart screaming happily—Shi Yi was not only not unhappy, he also gave her mooncakes!
After having fun, she put the mooncake box into the paper bag containing the desk lamp. Then, she walked into the dormitory as if nothing had happened, greeted Luo Xi, quickly climbed onto the bed, lowered the bed curtains, took out the mooncake box, and opened it gently.
She is not a stingy person, but she cherishes the mooncakes that Shi Yi gave her too much.
The inner packaging box of the mooncake has the same texture as the iron box. When you open the box, you can see that the mooncake inside is different from the ordinary mooncakes. It is more like an exquisite and unique pastry than a mooncake.
"Si Tian..." Luo Xi suddenly called her.
Fu Shitian hurriedly pulled the air-conditioning quilt over the mooncake, and he looked like a frightened rabbit.
"Luo Luo asked me to ask you if you want to wash your hair? If you do, I ask you to go take a shower early, otherwise she will come up and also want to wash, and then they will bump into each other." The bed did not shake, and Luo Xi had no intention of coming over to lift her bed curtains.
Fu Shitian breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little guilty: "If you want to wash, I'll go right away."
But... she really couldn't bear to do it. She secretly put the mooncakes back into the paper box and then back into the iron box, then closed the lid and hid it in the small storage box in the bedside wardrobe.
She took out some clothes to change into, still thinking about the joy she had with Shi Yi all night. A trace of greed kept lingering in her mind -
Sharing an umbrella with me and giving me mooncakes were all initiated by Shi Yi. Can this be considered as proof of her friendliness towards me? If she also wants to make friends with me, then my entering her life would not be considered a disturbance
She couldn't help herself, picked up the phone, quickly entered a string of numbers on the QQ friend adding interface, and pressed enter.
She had memorized this number by heart. Like a pervert, she had been secretly searching for Shi Yi's QQ every day since she found it in the class group. She was afraid of having visitor records, so she didn't dare to enter her space. She could only check if her signature was updated on her homepage panel.
But Shi Yi is really not a person who likes to share his feelings, and the signature on his homepage has never changed.
In the end, Fu Shitian looked at the familiar blank space on the signature line, and then at the "Add Friend" button at the bottom, but he was hesitant to click on it.
Am I too excited now and over-speculating on Shi Yi's thoughts
Fu Shitian took a deep breath, locked his phone screen, and got out of bed holding his clothes.
Take a shower first, and talk about it after you finish it, she warned herself.
When she reached the last step of the ladder and was looking for her slippers on the ground, she inadvertently saw her own half-wet canvas shoes that were torn by the rain. Her mind suddenly calmed down.
She didn't look for slippers, but stepped directly on the tiles, the coolness went from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She closed her eyes, and the new pair of Converse shoes on Shi Yi's feet appeared in front of her when they walked side by side just now.
What are you thinking about? Fu Shitian laughed to himself.
She forced herself not to have any more inappropriate thoughts, and took a bath, washed her clothes, blew her hair, and went to bed in a restless state.
After tossing and turning, I finally felt a little sleepy when my phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Fu Shitian woke up with a start, and most of her sleepiness had slipped away. She was afraid that there was some important news, so she reached for her phone and opened it to check.
When she saw what the message was, she almost jumped up, and all her sleepiness disappeared.
Shi Yi applied to add her as a friend!
