After seeing off Liang Fu, Fu Yucheng returned to the store. Jiang Chen really didn't organize the information well and kept talking to Ding Shiwei. Ding Shiwei couldn't bear the disturbance and kept saying: "I don't know! Don't ask!"
She heard the door open and was relieved to see that the savior had returned.
Before Fu Yucheng could say anything, Jiang Chen immediately stopped and sat up straight with a straight face, "Don't disturb me, I'm going to start studying."
The night was quite long, and the sounds of Jiang Chen and Ding Shiwei typing on the keyboard formed a rhythmic ensemble, making Fu Yucheng a little drowsy. An hour passed. Jiang Chen stopped acting like a monster and started to look up information honestly. Fu Yucheng relaxed a little, his eyelids gradually darkened, he folded his arms and dozed off with his head leaning against the baffle on the side of the seat.
However, I hadn't slept for long when my phone vibrated in my pocket. Fu Yucheng took it out, took a look at it, replied with a few words, put the phone back into his pocket, and continued to catch up on his sleep.
Ding Shiwei had finished her homework long ago and was browsing the web for irrelevant content. From the corner of her vision, she clearly saw a smile on Fu Yucheng's face the moment he took out the phone screen and unlocked it.
Another hour passed and Jiang Chen was almost done. He stretched out and was about to call someone when Ding Shi kicked him with his sole foot under the table.
Jiang Chen almost cursed.
Ding Shiwei made a "shush" gesture and whispered: "Keep your voice down, Fu Yucheng is asleep."
"Then you have to wake him up. The air conditioner is turned on so low, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold if you sleep like this."
Ding Shiwei was stunned for a moment, looking a bit in a dilemma.
Jiang Chen didn't care so much, he stretched out his hand and gave him a shove, "Old Fu! Get up, I'm done."
Fu Yucheng woke up with a start, paused for a moment to focus his eyes, and saw Jiang Chen looking at him as if he was taking credit, and said softly: "Show me." When he woke up, his voice was a little hoarse.
Jiang Chen handed over the laptop, stood up and stretched, "I'm exhausted."
Fu Yucheng pressed his eyebrows, yawned and swiped the touchpad. He glanced at it and found that he had done a good job, although there was definitely room for improvement by his standards. But Jiang Chen's mind was clearly distracted, and he wouldn't be able to make any further guesses.
"Okay, that's it, send it to my email."
Jiang Chen immediately raised his tail and said, "I am at the second level of the postgraduate written examination. Is there any reason why I can't do it?"
"Are you going to brag about being second in grade for the rest of your life?"
After the words fell, Ding Shiwei laughed out loud with shamelessness.
Jiang Chen glared at each one, and Fu Yucheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.
It was still early before the dormitory opened, so the three of them decided to hang out in the all-night study room. The study room is open 24 hours a day. When they passed by, there were actually people hanging from the beam and prodding their buttocks, and they were also first-rate ruthless people.
Fu Yucheng found a corner in the last row and sat down, with his legs straightened, his arms folded, his back against the wall behind, and he fell asleep like this.
Jiang Chen sat in the second to last row, used his schoolbag with a notebook as a pillow, and fell asleep.
Ding Shiwei went to the restroom, and when she came back, she walked straight to the last row and sat down three or four seats away from Fu Yucheng. She opened the laptop but did not turn it on. She rested her arm on the keyboard of the laptop and her head on her arm, staring in the direction of Fu Yucheng.
He frowned slightly, not sure if it was because he was uncomfortable sleeping or because he dreamed of something bad. Under the white light, the whole person showed an extremely distant and cold temperament.
Liang Fu drove home for half an hour. She was afraid of waking her parents, so she walked slowly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Pingyu's voice still came from the bedroom: "Afu, are you back?"
"Why."
"Take a shower and go to bed early."
"knew."
Liang Fu went back to bed and lay down, took out her phone, and found that Fu Yucheng had passed her friend verification at some point. Her WeChat name is "fyc" and her profile picture is a meaningless landscape picture, just like the teachers of her father's generation.
Liang Fu neither pinned it to him nor changed the note. She just sent two words: "We're here."
Fu Yucheng quickly replied: "Go to bed early."
She held her phone, wanting to reply later, but she was so tired that she felt sleepy as soon as she closed her eyes.
In the bedroom opposite, Zhang Pingyu couldn't sleep, so he woke up Liang An and insisted on talking to him about something serious.
"Lao Liang, don't you think Afu's recent behavior is a bit strange?"
Liang Andao also knew that Liang Fu wanted to guide the freshmen in preparing for the party. Liang Andao is the only daughter who has been doted on since she was little. For more than twenty years, she has been reluctant to say even harsh words to her. There was a doctoral student with good qualifications in the hospital the year before last, and Liang Andao wanted to let Liang Fu get in touch with him. As a result, Liang Fu got angry and said that she was not interested in the affairs of the students in the courtyard. From now on, he would never do this kind of self-inflicted trouble. Who would have thought that Liang Fu would take the initiative to join in some welcome party program this time.
Zhang Pingyu said: "I don't think this matter is as simple as it seems on the surface."
After saying this, Liang Andao also felt something fishy. The two of them lowered their voices and carefully checked the boys newly recruited in the courtyard this year.
Finally, Zhang Pingyu said: "I think of a person who looks good and has good grades. He is a postgraduate student."
Liang Andao said: "Could it be that you are talking about..."
Zhang Pingyu: "Li Wenyao, the graduate student led by Dean Zheng himself."
"No way, Afu hasn't even had contact with him."
"Do you know if we have any contact in private? You should pay more attention to this matter, and don't let some unscrupulous people..." Zhang Pingyu paused, "I still think it's better to clear the channel, because I know the root cause."
"Afu has grown up with him since he was a child. It will be a long time coming."
"You don't know what your daughter's personality is like? Sometimes her nerves are thicker than sewer pipes. Maybe she just never thought about that."
Liang Andao disagreed, but he did not dare to disobey his wife's wishes and nodded in agreement.
"On weekends, invite Fang Qingqu to your house for a meal. I heard that he might be transferred to the city bureau. It would be good to keep in touch."
At the end of the day, Liang Fu went to the hospital to give guidance for the second time.
After the last time and private training, I was able to watch a lot more dance than before. This time I made some targeted corrections and the program basically took shape, which was more than enough for the next school-level party.
After Liang Fu retired, Jiang Chen insisted on inviting her to dinner, but Liang Fu could not refuse and agreed verbally first.
As Liang Fu packed her things, she asked Jiang Chen, who was still waiting at the side: "Have you finished the group assignment with Fu Yucheng?"
"It's done. The old master is simply a devil. But the report he gave was very effective. I should be able to get by with a low score and it should be fine."
Liang Fu said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you were second in the written examination of the postgraduate entrance examination?"
Jiang Chen hurriedly defended himself, "I am not interested in academics now, I... I have higher goals."
"It's better to study hard. You have good brains, don't waste it."
Jiang Chen nodded hastily, "Okay, I will listen to senior sister."
Liang Fu laughed and then asked, "Where is Fu Yucheng? I didn't see him today."
"He has an elective class tonight."
"You graduate students still need to take elective courses? Are you in the hospital building?"
"Not here, in the First Teaching."
Fu Yucheng had a premonition that he would see Liang Fu today, probably because Jiang Chen had woken up early and was talking about how to give guidance for the second time.
However, he just had a hunch. He didn't expect to meet after class, in front of the first teacher's door.
There was a very tall plane tree there, with a lamp burning at night. When he went out, he saw her almost at a glance. She stood under the tree, not looking at the door of the teaching building, with her hands in her sports coat pockets and chewing gum, seemingly bored.
Fu Yucheng watched for a while before walking towards her. He was wondering if he had not seen her and the two of them would have lost touch today, and if he would be punished for another oversight.
Liang Fu noticed him approaching, raised her head and smiled at him, "Fu Yucheng, you guys have been in class for a long time."
Not far from the first teaching was the school's bell tower. Fu Yucheng took a look at it and saw that it was nine-thirty, which was a time of early or late.
"What's up?"
"My dad asked you to go to the city library to borrow some books for him." She reached into her pants pocket and stuffed a note into Fu Yucheng's hand.
Fu Yucheng took it, looked at it, and then looked at Liang Fu, sizing it up.
"Actually, Teacher Liang usually assigns me tasks on WeChat."
Liang Fu blinked.
"These books on the list are available from Teacher Liang. They are required reading for sophomore year."
Liang Fu: "..."
"I also recognize Teacher Liang's handwriting."
Liang Fu smiled, not showing any embarrassment at all, "Aren't you tired of talking in roundabout ways?" She admitted openly, "I'm tired and too lazy to drive. Why don't you give me a ride or send me there?" Eat to regain your energy. Take your pick."
Fu Yucheng looked at her, as if he was thinking about it. After a moment, he said, "Multiple choice question or single choice question?"
When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, Zhou Tan is better than anyone else. Liang Fu called her and asked for advice.
Zhou Tan said: "Come directly to my place? Does your man know how to play Pai Gow? Someone is leaving our place soon and we just need someone."
Liang Fu glanced at the driver's seat. She couldn't correct Zhou Tan's fallacious name in front of her face, "...I know how to do it, why don't you take me."
"Little sister, your poker skills are terrible. It's pointless to win against you."
Liang Fu asked Fu Yucheng: "Can you play dominoes?"
"Won't."
Liang Fu said to Zhou Tan: "He can learn."
Fu Yucheng laughed.
Before hanging up the phone, Liang Fu told Zhou Tan: "Prepare some food for me, something light and low in calories."
"Okay, miss, come here quickly, we have everything here."
The corner of the place reported by Zhou Tan was not clearly marked on the map at all. Fu Yucheng drove up and down the road three times, and finally stopped uncertainly at a narrow door that looked suspicious at first glance.
"Is it here?"
"I don't know." Liang Fu opened the car door directly, "Get out of the car and look for me, I'm going to throw up if you keep walking around me." Without waiting for Fu Yucheng, she jumped out of the car, crossed the narrow door and walked inside.
Fu Yucheng followed up in two or two steps, grabbed Liang Fu's arm, pulled her behind him, and walked in front to explore the way.
Entering through the narrow gate is a very narrow alley. After going around and around again, it suddenly becomes clear that there is a strange world inside: an old-style residential house, the courtyard door is open, the windows are lit, and there are people inside.
Liang Fu said: "It should be here."
Fu Yucheng went to knock on the door, and someone opened the door within a moment. The man took a look through the door, recognized Liang Fu, and led the person inside: "Please come in."
Walking inside, I gradually heard Zhou Tan's voice.
The old houses have been decorated in a new style, and they are all made of wood and have a high quality. There was a card table in the middle of the room, with four people playing the game, and there were also people on the sofa in the rest area on one side. The smell of smoke is wrapped in the fragrance of tea, incense, and powder, making people feel sleepy as soon as they enter the door.
Fu Yucheng glanced at them and saw that the people at the card table seemed to have some background in their dress and demeanor. There was only one woman at the card table, presumably Liang Fu's friend Zhou Tan.
Zhou Tan played a card, raised his head and greeted: "Afu, take the others to sit down for a while, this round will be over soon."
Liang Fu took Fu Yucheng to the rest area to drink tea. There were some Yingying Yanyan sitting on several groups of leather sofas, and their identities were self-evident. They looked at Fu Yucheng curiously and whispered, but no one dared to ask him directly about his identity.
After a while, the card game ended, a man got off the card table, and the two women on the sofa stood up and walked towards the man. The man pushed the money he counted on the table into his hand, and the two women immediately started fighting over it.
Zhou Tan said with a smile: "If you can't afford to lose, you will run away. Mr. Tao, we will remember it for you."
"I'm treating you to tea, aren't you happy?" The man called "Mr. Tao" hugged a woman with one arm, said hello to Liang Fu and left.
Liang Fu pulled Fu Yucheng to the card table and introduced to the other three people: "Fu Yucheng, my father's student." Besides Zhou Tan, Liang Fu didn't know much about the other two men. They looked kind, but couldn't name them. However, most of the people Zhou Tan interacts with are respectable.
The two men smiled and nodded, and said to Fu Yucheng, "Nice to meet you."
Fu Yucheng knew very well that this "nice meeting" was directed at Liang An and Liang Fu, but definitely not for himself.
Zhou Tanze said with a smile: "Teacher Liang's students will enter the judicial department in the future, and they will all be pillars of the country. Liang Fu, do you mind if I ask for his phone number?"
"Why should I mind? The hands are on him."
Zhou Tan smiled, took out a cigarette, and told Liang Fu, "Let's take a break. You first teach Mr. Fu how to play this card."
Someone came over to pour tea and snacks, and opened the windows for ventilation.
Liang Fu spread out the dominoes and took out the 12-point card first, "This is the 'Heaven' card, which has the highest number of points. In "A Dream of Red Mansions", the word "Heaven" is on the left, and there is a blue sky above the head. This is the card he is talking about. ."
Zhou Tan said with a smile: "Afu is very educated. He even quotes scriptures when talking about cards."
Liang Fu said with a smile: "Yes, I finally found an opportunity to show off with Fu Yucheng."
Fu Yucheng also laughed. When he looked at Liang Fu, he didn't realize that his eyes were a little gentler.
Liang Fu clicked on the patterns composed of red dots and white dots on the black background and explained one by one. That is "Heaven", this is "Earth", and the other two are "Human" and "He". When combined together, they are "Heaven". "Heaven, Earth and Humanity"; this is "Nine", this is "Eight", which can be combined with "Heaven, Earth and Humanity" to form "Heaven, Earth and Eight, Humans Seven and Five"...and so on.
Mrs. Liang did not sit down, but stood, half-bent on the card table. Everything around him was far away, and he could only smell the fragrance of bergamot. The fingers of the hand holding the cards were so slender that they were so white that it dazzled the eyes under the bright light.
Not long after the card game started, Fu Yucheng learned the rules for the first time. He was confused and lost several games. As he gradually became familiar with it, he relied on the novice aura to protect his body and won consecutive battles.
Zhou Tan said with a smile: "The top students at Chongqing University are different and have flexible minds."
Liang Fu sat aside and watched the game. Zhou Tan sent someone to bring her oatmeal. She drank it slowly from the bowl, paying close attention to the situation. She really wanted to give Fu Yucheng advice by relying on the fact that she was more or less a proficient player, but gradually she couldn't figure out the way he played his cards, and she could only win by playing around.
Soon the night got late, and the people at the card table changed again. The only ones who didn't move were Fu Yucheng and Zhou Tan. There were gradually more people in the room, and the place was very noisy. Fu Yucheng won a lot of money, and Zhou Tan was tired after fighting for several hours.
Zhou Tan asked Liang Fu to take Fu Yucheng upstairs to rest. It was clean and she got a coat herself and went to make a phone call outside the door.
Liang Fu felt that Zhou Tan might be waiting for someone, but she couldn't tell whose place it was, and she didn't bother to ask. Then he grabbed Fu Yucheng's winnings and took him upstairs.
Upstairs is the tea room, which has good sound insulation and is extremely clean.
Liang Fu spread the money on the table and counted them one by one. Fu Yucheng sat on the sofa nearby, holding his arms and looking at her. The daughter of the Liang family, who was well-dressed and well-fed, seemed to have never seen money at this moment, and she was very happy to count each one.
"Fu Yucheng, I will definitely take you with me when I go to Macau from now on."
"Playing cards depends on the number of ways, and gambling depends on luck. This is different."
"You shouldn't be too lucky either."
"It must be used in the right way."
"What's the right path?"
Liang Fu waited for a moment, but didn't see him speaking. She looked up and found that he was looking at her. The look was so deep that I couldn't tell what it meant.
Liang Fu felt uncomfortable looking at him, lowered her head to avoid it, and put the money she had counted into a pile into his hand.
Fu Yucheng said: "You can take it and use it."
Liang Fu laughed, but her voice was low, "Are you so anxious to give me money?" She finally felt that she had gone too far, and suddenly stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When we reached the end of the corridor, we saw a crescent moon embedded in the high window. Liang Fu came back from the bathroom and went into the room to call Fu Yucheng to see her, but she found that he had lit a cigarette at some point, held it in his hand, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.
It was not that she had never had close contact with some celebrities in the entertainment industry, but no matter how many times she saw him, Liang Fu thought Fu Yucheng was the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her life.
In such a rough and turbulent situation, he blended in but remained uncontaminated.
Looking at him from a distance, she felt that he was always distant, like a lonely pine, guarding his unexplained thoughts during the long night.
