"..." Su Yi was speechless and pouted, "How can I be as scary as you say?"
"It's really that scary." Lan Fuchu said seriously.
Su Yi frowned, "Then tell me, what is so scary about me?"
Lan Fuchu couldn't explain it.
Su Yi smiled, his eyes narrowed, "I knew you couldn't tell."
After a while, the cold medicine took effect. Su Yi felt a little sleepy. He lowered his eyes and his voice became soft, "I'm so sleepy."
"Then you should sleep for a while." Lan Fuchu knew that the medicine was taking effect, so he got up and moved next to Su Yi.
Su Yi nodded with heavy eyelids, closed her eyes, and closed her thick and long eyelashes like feathers.
She was leaning against the table, half her face resting on her arms.
Lan Fuchu sat quietly, thinking for a moment, then took out a white handkerchief, folded it into a square, and pressed it under Su Yi's arm. This would be very comfortable.
Su Yi was unconscious. He opened his eyelids and fell into darkness.
She fell asleep.
Lan Fuchu lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping face of the girl and smiled faintly.
It was dark when I woke up.
Su Yi was lying on the bed in the hotel with a somewhat empty expression.
Under the moonlight, there stood a slender and blurry figure, with his back to her, gazing at the beautiful starry sky on the balcony.
Su Yi knew that it was Lan Fuchu, and said, "Little idiot."
"I'm here." Lan Fuchu came in from the balcony with a few photos in his hand. At first, Su Yi thought those photos were hers, but after he came in, Su Yi found out that those photos were his own.
"Did you print them out yourself?" Su Yi asked him in surprise. These photos were the ones she took for him today.
"Well, there's a printer upstairs." Lan Fuchu picked one out and took out a sheet for her. "This one's for you."
"What do you want me to do?" Su Yi took the photo he gave her in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"As a souvenir."
Su Yi opened his mouth and said, "Okay."
After putting the photo in the bedside table, Lan Fuchu said, "Frame it."
Su Yi: “…”
Only then did she realize that he was teasing her.
Su Yi curved her lips and said with a smile: "Why do you want to frame it? You are not my boyfriend."
He pursed his lips, "Then why did you ask me to frame your photo?"
"I was joking, can't you hear that?"
"So you are allowed to make fun of me, but I am not allowed to make fun of you?"
Su Yi clicked his tongue, "Okay, okay, all is allowed."
The young man reached out his hand and touched her forehead, which was a little hot. He said, "You have a slight fever. I'll go get you some medicine."
"Okay." She sat up, leaned against the pillow and waited.
But after a while, a bowl of pork rib porridge came. Lan Fuchu said, "You can't take medicine directly on an empty stomach. Eat some porridge and then take the medicine."
"good."
Su Yi felt a little weak and didn't want to talk. He obediently ate the porridge and then took the medicine. He lay down with the help of Lan Fuchu, looking haggard.
"You are sick, don't take a shower tonight, get some rest, and take a shower tomorrow morning."
"Um."
"Go to sleep." After covering her with the quilt, he wanted to turn off the light, but Su Yi held his hand.
"Little idiot." In the darkness, Su Yi's voice was a little hoarse.
Lan Fuchu's heart tightened, and he hastily held her hand back, "I'm here."
"Don't turn off the light." She looked at him, her lips pale.
Lan Fuchu touched her hair naturally, "You are sick, you need to have a good rest. Turn off the lights, it will be quieter."
"It's okay, I don't want to sleep yet."
He frowned.
Su Yi said softly: "Please chat with me for a while."
"We'll chat when we wake up."
Su Yi shook her head, "I want to talk now."
Looking at Lan Fuchu's quiet face, she continued to talk to herself, "Actually, I hated you at first."
Lan Fuchu looked back at her, his eyes as clear as glass.
"When we first met, I thought you were really good-looking, but why was your personality so old-fashioned and unreliable? It was really useless to say nice things to a beautiful woman. Then you pinched me, and I thought you were a very difficult person to deal with." She smiled slightly, her eyes dull but gentle, "Later, I hated you even more. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"It was because of that day." Su Yi spoke softly, with a smile in her eyes. "I was detained in the teaching room by the teacher and made to write fifty exercises. I begged you to let me go, but you were invulnerable. In the end, I went back after I finished writing. I got home around ten o'clock. At that time, everything in my house was smashed. Did you know that? That was the most serious quarrel between my parents since I transferred to another school. Afterwards, the war between them really began. It was better for a while, but after that, it was still the same... A marriage that is destined to be broken can never be made complete no matter what."
"Do you know how I grew up?" Her voice was light, but her eyes were dull. "When I was a child, my grandparents wanted to train me to be a well-rounded lady from a noble family. In the end, I became well-rounded, but not a lady. At most, I was just a crazy woman."
As she was talking, she started to laugh while hugging the quilt. "My dad always buys me a lot of books. He is a good dad. Since I was very young, every Sunday, he would take me to play puzzle games and do crafts. But he is not a good husband. He is too unfaithful. Let me tell you, I have already found three girls by myself."
She couldn't stop laughing. "The first one was his secretary. They spent a lot of time together and fell in love. The second one was a client of his. She had the same strategy and intelligence as him and was quite capable. The third one was a female college student. Do you know why I fell in love with female college students? Because they are passionate and energetic, and they can sacrifice everything for love..."
He looked at her quietly, slowly raised his hand and stroked her cheek, "Do you hate him?"
"Hate!" She answered with certainty, with tiny fragments of light flowing in her eyes like the tide in the night.
"But I have never even tried to hate." He suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Su Yi's lips were dry, and she looked at him with deep eyes, "Is your father like this too?"
He shook his head. "He's not like that, but I hardly ever see him. Maybe once a year at most. We have no feelings for each other. We are worse than strangers if we say we are father and son."
"Why?"
"Why?" he asked in a low voice, "Of course I'm busy."
"So busy that you don't even have time to go home?"
"Well, probably."
It seems that they both share the same pain. Su Yi imitated his previous action, touched his face, and said softly: "It's okay. From now on, I will accompany you and you will accompany me, and we will not be sad or lonely."
"Yeah." He nodded.
"To be honest, I feel much better now." Su Yi sighed, put his hands on his head, and looked at the sky that was very high above him. "The first day of the new year has passed like this. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"It's not a pity." How could it be a pity when she's around
"Don't you feel sorry for not being able to spend time with your family?"
"Then if I say that in my heart, you have the same status as my family, do you believe it?"
Su Yi was stunned, and looked at him again, with a hidden warmth in his eyes, "You are getting better at talking now, kid."
Lan Fuchu did not respond to this. He gently touched her head and said, "Go to sleep. You are sick. You need to have a good rest."
Su Yi sighed. She didn't want to sleep, but she couldn't resist his persistence. She could only slowly close her eyes and sink into the soft pillow again, sleeping peacefully.
In the middle of the night, he put a cold towel on her forehead and changed it quietly several times, and the day gradually brightened...
*
The next day, Su Yi was in much better spirits and felt full of strength after recovering from the illness.
Lan Fuchu was sitting at the dining table in the room with a plate of steamed sea fish next to him. He was picking out the fish bones and placing them on the empty plate next to him.
Su Yi got out of bed and walked over, smiling, "Picking out fish bones?"
Lan Fuchu said "hmm" faintly.
Su Yi said again: "It's just eating a fish, why do you have to be so pretentious?" Wouldn't it be better to just put it in your mouth and look for the bones while chewing it
The boy didn't explain, but picked up a piece of fish silently and started to cut it carefully.
Su Yi went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
After coming out, he sat next to Lan Fuchu and brought over a bowl of sweet potato porridge. After going out to play, it is better to drink porridge to nourish the stomach.
"We're going to Linglong Sea after breakfast, right?" Su Yi asked him.
"Yeah." He responded and pushed the plate of shaved fish meat in front of her. He didn't say anything, but just put it in her naturally, very casually.
Su Yi was stunned, holding the chopsticks and asked: "Is it for me?"
"Well, you are sick. You should eat more nutritious and easy-to-digest food." He did this without thinking too much. He just wanted to do it, so he did it casually, without realizing the pampering and intimacy contained in it.
Su Yi glanced at him and was suddenly very moved. She said softly, "Little Dabby, it's so nice to travel with you. I didn't expect that you look silly, but you are so caring. You really can't judge a person by his appearance. I won't call you silly anymore..."
Lan Fuchu was speechless, but couldn't help laughing. He looked at her with extremely gentle eyes.
So it is foreseeable why Su Yi fell in love with Xiao Dai.
