She originally wanted to call him to see that the lisianthus in the flower shop was blooming enthusiastically, but in the end she forgot everything, including her breathing. For a long time, she could only hear her own heartbeat.
Someone passed by in the back alley and laughed, but she was blocked by Fu Yucheng's body and couldn't hear it. The flower shop's eaves were mint green, and she saw such a cool color when she looked up. She thought that sparkling wine with ice cubes was sweet.
After an unknown amount of time, it was so hot that her palms became sweaty. Liang Fu stretched out her hand to scratch Fu Yucheng's lower back, and he flinched.
"...I have to go back, otherwise Fang Qingqu will probably call the police." His voice was very low, and when he mentioned Fang Qingqu, he even lowered his voice half a degree with guilt.
"If you don't mention this name, I might let you go."
"Can you stay here all night?"
"You can try it. The method of stimulating generals is very useful to me."
The phone rang at an inappropriate time, and Liang Fu knew without looking that it was Fang Qingqu. She put her hand into the bag and cut it off, then hugged Fu Yucheng's waist, tilted her head back, stood on tiptoes to look at him, and begged in a deliberately coquettish tone: "I really have to go."
Fu Yucheng couldn't bear it and glanced at her with a confused look.
Liang Fu laughed loudly, the phone rang again, and she cut it off again. This time she tried to pull away gently, and Fu Yucheng let go.
He adjusted his collar and stood there, with no intention of leaving.
"You won't go in with me?"
Fu Yucheng touched the cigarette case, lowered his head and put one in his mouth, "I'm too lazy to say hello to him."
Liang Fu said with a smile, "Stingy."
She wore a puff-sleeved silk short-sleeved shirt, a black long skirt, and light green satin flat heels. She looked like a movie girl dressed in retro style. He only raised his head slightly and stood on tiptoes, moving quickly and lightly. A kiss fell on his cheek, like the wind blowing.
Before he even had time to reach out, she had already turned around to avoid it, and said with a smile: "I'll go back to socialize, and you go back to team building. See you tomorrow night, rain or shine this time!"
·
As interns, Fu Yucheng and the others had no choice in the content of their work. They had to complete whatever the instructor assigned them. Fu Yucheng had just arrived. Not long after he got acquainted with it, he received a task of collecting precedents. The project was huge, cumbersome, and urgent, so he had to work overtime at night.
He made an appointment with Liang Fu to watch a movie at nine o'clock tonight. He estimated the workload and found that there would be just enough time on the day when the task was submitted. In order to race against time, you have to save time for eating.
As soon as it's meal time, the tea room becomes lively. Fu Yucheng went to make coffee with a piece of bread in his mouth, and Ding Shiwei was also there. She was pale, sipping porridge from a plastic bowl, and had a fever-reducing patch on her forehead.
Ding Shiwei could only say hello feebly, and Fu Yucheng glanced at her, "Are you sick?"
"I had a cold, so I shouldn't have drank last night."
"Why don't you ask for leave?"
Ding Shiwei smiled and said, "There are only a few interns. If I ask for leave, won't your workload have to double?"
"It's okay. Just ask if you need to. Being sick is not very efficient."
Fu Yucheng took the instant coffee, sat down diagonally across the table, and finished his dinner with bread.
Ding Shiwei couldn't help but look at him. Several topics came to her lips. She was afraid that he would not accept the embarrassment, so she swallowed them back, and the atmosphere became even more silent. She still didn't know how she got to know Fu Yucheng, they had been classmates for five years. This person seems to have automatically drawn a line for others, and no one outside the line can even get close to him.
In addition to coming to Cheng Fangping's law firm for its reputation in the industry, of course, he also had selfish motives. She passed through the written test and three rounds of interviews, betting on the possibility that Fu Yucheng would come here to intern, and she finally made the right bet.
Ding Shiwei's throat hurt and she swallowed slowly. Fu Yucheng opposite had already finished the bread, nodded to her, got up and went back to his work station.
Ding Shiwei sighed, loosened her hand, and lightly smashed the plastic spoon into the porridge bowl. She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, feeling extremely useless and feeling even more depressed.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Fu Yucheng took a break from the heavy tasks, got up and went outside to take a breath.
The law firm is in a new office building that just opened last year. This office building is divided into Building AB. In order to facilitate the communication between the two buildings, a sky corridor was built on the 15th floor. The law firm is on the sixteenth floor, so everyone often takes time to hide in the corridor after work.
Fu Yucheng opened the door to the corridor and saw a figure not far away. After a pause, sure enough, I heard a suppressed cry coming from the figure.
The people coming and going in this office building are glamorous, but behind the scenes, everyone has their own humiliation and sadness. It's common to come here and cry when things don't go well at work. But what's unusual is that this is the fourth time Fu Yucheng has encountered this figure in the corridor.
That was a woman whom Fu Yucheng didn't recognize. Judging from her nameplate, she might be from a company in Building B opposite.
I met her three times before, always around eight or nine in the evening. The woman was lying on the handrail of the corridor, sobbing silently. Although she didn't mean it, she remembered it: the woman held a pair of glasses in her hand and was wearing a light gray formal suit. She was quite tall, but so skinny that her bones could not hold up her clothes.
Because he didn't know him, Fu Yucheng didn't mind his own business, but after meeting him again and again, he finally cared a little. He works in law, so if this person has any work disputes, he can do his best to provide some advice.
After hesitating, the woman raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, put on her glasses, turned around and walked away slowly.
Not long after he finished his cigarette and returned to his workstation, the door to the supervisor's office not far away opened, and Cheng Fangping poked his head out, "Xiao Fu, come here."
Fu Yucheng felt a little tired from the cold white light above his head. He raised his hand to press his eyebrows, locked the computer and stood up. When he opened the door, he saw an unexpected person sitting on the sofa.
Cheng Fangping said with a smile: "Master, I have to get off work. Please treat my junior sister to a supper for me."
After saying that, he took his clothes badge, said hello to Liang Fu, and walked without any sloppiness.
Liang Fu wore a black dress with a V-shaped neckline and silver accessories perched on her rugged collarbone. She was wearing full makeup and her lips were red, like some kind of plump berries. This outfit must have come from some party.
"I accompanied Teacher Yang to meet a fundraiser, which is close to here. I stopped by to have a look." On the one hand, I wanted to see Fu Yucheng, and on the other hand, I wanted to do something that Zhou Tan had entrusted me with last time. Cheng Fangping agreed simply, saying that at tomorrow's meeting, several key personnel would be asked if they had any intention to take over.
Liang Fu stood up, leaning on the executive desk and looking at Fu Yucheng.
He is a person who is very suitable for wearing formal clothes and has a cool and ascetic temperament. This is the senior brother's office, and there is a camera above the head. The distance cannot be exceeded. Liang Fu feels a little pity.
The air was hot at night, and the road from the office building to the cinema was crowded with people.
During the last fountain show in the square, a few children bravely dived under the water. The two of them walked and watched until they gradually moved away from the square.
While Fu Yucheng was collecting tickets, Liang Fu went to buy popcorn and Coke. The big bucket was so full that it almost spilled out, with a sweet aroma of honey.
"No need to control your weight?"
Liang Fu smiled and put two popcorn into her mouth, then stuffed the popcorn bucket into his arms, "I bought it for you, I'll just eat two."
Fu Yucheng: "..."
It's a Hollywood blockbuster with a mediocre plot and only special effects.
Liang Fu was deeply involved in the movie. The protagonist was caught by the villain. She grabbed his arm and squeezed him hard. She was more anxious than the characters in the play. When the fight was exciting, she also cooperated and said "Wow".
In the end, he didn't watch the movie, he just watched her in the movie.
The light and shadow in the movie are bright and dark, illuminating her outline that is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. She is excited and depressed at times, so childish and cute.
He rested his elbows on the armrests and supported his head with the back of his hands. The booming sound effects of the movie gradually disappeared from his mind, and his thoughts seemed to be scattered and drifted further and further away.
Liang Fu shook her awake.
The movie is over and the audience is leaving. He paused for a moment, then gradually came to his senses and found that his head was resting on Liang Fu's shoulder.
Fu Yucheng sat up straight, not feeling guilty at all for being half asleep. Liang Fu stared at him while moving her shoulder joints, "Your head is really heavy."
Fu Yucheng smiled and asked, "Sister, did you pull my head over?"
"Shameless, you are obviously fast asleep and you insist on coming over!"
The theater has already turned on the lights, and there are still some loyal fans waiting stubbornly for the easter eggs. They made way for the audience sitting inside and left in no hurry. The Coke ice cubes have melted, and there is still a whole bucket of popcorn left. This movie is really just a passing scene.
Fu Yucheng laughed and remembered something. He took the bag he was carrying and took out something like a piece of paper. "I almost forgot, I owe you my 'feelings'."
Liang Fu unfolded it and saw a certificate for the Best Prosecution Lawyer's Trial Defense Award.
"Give it to me?"
"No? Just give it back to me if you don't want it."
Liang Fu hurriedly hid behind her and looked at the words "Fu Yucheng" on the certificate. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "What should I do? In the future, when you look for jobs and awards, you don't need a copy of the original?"
"You keep it first, I'll come back to you if I need it."
"I'll throw it away to you later." But he neatly folded the certificates and put them in his bag with great care.
It was already past eleven o'clock when we left the cinema. It was close to Fu Yucheng's school, so Liang Fu decided to give him a ride.
The campus was quiet, and most of the students on vacation had already left school. There were three people living together in Fu Yucheng's dormitory. Jiang Chen and Li Wenyao, two friends who went to the same law firm for internship, were not far from the school, so they all lived in the dormitory together.
If Liang Fu has any regrets in her twenty-two years of life, it is probably that she did not study well and did not experience the atmosphere of a normal university. Now walking with Fu Yucheng in the thick shade along the green locust road, it was more or less a long-cherished wish fulfilled.
The management of the postgraduate dormitories, especially the male dormitories, is relatively easy. Now that we are on vacation, you can go up by signing up with your ID card.
When Liang Fu asked to go up and take a look, Fu Yucheng had some doubts. Although the dormitory had just been cleaned two days ago, the cleanliness standards were definitely not good compared to living alone.
When the door opened, Liang Fu glanced inside and said, "It's okay. You don't know that our dance group has caused chaos in the girls' dormitory, and you guys are ashamed of yourself."
Dormitory for three people, with a bed and a table, and a private balcony.
Liang Fu recognized the place next to the door at a glance. The neatest place belonged to Fu Yucheng. He actually had a lot of things, especially books, and the shelves on three sides were filled to the brim.
Liang Fu sat down on his stool and raised her hand to turn on the lamp. It was a meaningless act, but she wanted to try it.
Fu Yucheng leaned at the door and waited for her, "Let's go after you've seen it. I'll take you down."
Ms. Liang has never lived in a multi-occupancy dormitory since she was a child. She only slept in a standard room when she was on a business trip. The layout of this dormitory was too lacking in privacy for her. She was actually quite curious and couldn't help but ask: "Will anyone bring girls to the dormitory to spend the night?"
"What do you think?"
Fu Yucheng only heard that a boy from another hospital secretly brought his girlfriend into the dormitory and hid it on the bed. The bed creaked in the middle of the night, making the other two people so noisy that they heard a live sex scene and dared not speak out. .
"...Aren't you afraid of disturbing other roommates?"
Fu Yucheng tried his best to explain as tactfully as possible: "There is a kind of bed cover that is opaque."
Liang Fu laughed loudly, feeling that the curiosity of this matter far exceeded the level of obscenity.
Fu Yucheng believed that she really didn't think there was anything wrong with discussing this kind of issue with him at this time and on this occasion. She probably trusted him too much. I don't know if it's good or bad.
This made him determined to tease her, and he put the student card in his pocket. Close the door with a bang and lock it with a click.
Liang Fu was hunched over, ready to pick out a book from his neatly stacked books, when she heard the door closing and turned around. Fu Yucheng came over and raised his arms above his head on the edge of the bed, blocking her way.
The tone was half-smiling: "Senior sister, do you really trust me to be a good person?"
Liang Fu blinked and pretended to be calm, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't hide away, just met his gaze.
Fu Yucheng looked at her, so close that the two of them seemed to be exchanging breaths. The smile on his face disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He swallowed hard and his Adam's apple rolled.
Without hesitating for more than a second, he slowly lowered his head.
At the same time, the sound of the door opening of the opposite dormitory suddenly sounded outside, and then a male voice shouted: "Li Wenyao? Why are you coming back just now? Hurry up! Let's do it together!"
Then there were faint footsteps, "I still have to take a shower, you can do it yourself first."
Footsteps were approaching, and there were two people, one in front and one behind.
The door on the opposite side was open, and a male voice asked with a smile: "I have a question for you two. We have been gossiping in our dormitory all day. Are Fu Yucheng, the daughter of teacher Liang Andao in your dormitory, getting along well?"
It was Jiang Chen who answered, with an unhappy tone: "How do I know?"
"Aren't you familiar with the person?"
Jiang Chen: "I'm familiar with you, but I'm not familiar with you."
The man sighed: "Fu Yucheng is still capable. In the future, he will have access to the procuratorate and the court..."
Jiang Chen: "What nonsense are you talking about? The old man is very noble. Even if he is with Senior Sister Liang, it is not the reason you said."
The footsteps stopped at the door.
The male voice opposite: "Does Fu Yucheng really like Teacher Liang's daughter?"
Jiang Chen said nothing.
Male voice: "Fu Yucheng's face makes other people laugh when they hear the joke, but he doesn't even react at all. I don't think he is a person with emotions."
Rustling, as if looking for the key.
After inserting the key and turning it half a turn, Li Wenyao made a confused voice: "Hey... why can't it open?"
The male voice opposite: "Hey, I have another question."
Jiang Chen said: "You have so many questions. You are so curious about Fu Yucheng. Why don't you move to our dormitory?"
The person opposite laughed and scolded: "No, I'm really curious. Do people like Fu Yucheng usually watch romantic action movies in the dormitory?"
A slightly obscene laughter immediately came from the opposite dormitory.
Jiang Chen also laughed, "How do I know? I have never observed it with him!"
"Do you know his computer password? Open it and see which teacher this brother likes."
In the dormitory, Fu Yucheng took half a step back, unlocked the door, flipped the door lock, and opened the door.
Because the lock could not be opened, Li Wenyao was still struggling, leaning half of his body on the door. When it was opened, he almost fell in.
For a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant, and the reactions on everyone's faces were colorful.
There was no embarrassment on Fu Yucheng's face. He looked coldly and said in a teasing tone, "Why don't you come over here and copy a few copies over here to take a look?"
The boy in the dormitory opposite made an awkward smile and closed the door, "Li Wenyao! It will be dark soon!"
Li Wenyao and Jiang Chen both stood at the door and did not move.
The person inside the door who was smiling was the heroine of those bastard words just now. No one else would dare to touch her.
Fu Yucheng stretched out his hand to Liang Fu, "Let's go, I'll take you down."
The two brothers at the door were extremely curious, but they didn't dare to say anything. They just nodded at Liang Fu and smiled awkwardly but politely.
Liang Fu generously took Fu Yucheng's hand, passed by the two of them, and nodded with a smile.
Fu Yucheng sent people to the parking lot.
Footsteps knocked against the night under the tree, and Fu Yucheng said to her in a deep voice, "I'm sorry. Boys are not allowed to speak aggressively, and sometimes there is no limit."
The two of them heard the conversation outside in the dormitory just now, and it was impossible not to feel embarrassed. He didn't find an opportunity to interrupt, but what he heard became more and more excessive. Fu Yucheng could only stop him immediately, regardless of whether the time was right or not.
Fu Yucheng didn't want Liang Fu to hear this. He has no habit of talking about trivial topics, and he has never talked to Jiang Chen or the others.
Liang Fu said "It's okay" and turned to look. He lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly. His mood was not as relaxed as before, and he seemed a little heavy.
"Fu Yucheng." Liang Fu stretched out her hand, grabbed Fu Yucheng's wrist and gently pulled it.
They stopped and stood under a camphor tree in front of the teaching building.
Liang Fu said: "You don't care what others say about you."
"What do you think?"
Liang Fu looked at him and said seriously: "I don't think you are such a person."
"I don't care what others think of me, I only care what you think of me." Fu Yucheng said after a long silence.
Liang Fu laughed, grabbed his wrist and shook it gently. The atmosphere was a bit tense, and she couldn't help but want to make it more relaxed. "Don't you understand what I think of you now?"
Fu Yucheng did not laugh. He stared at her. He was standing in the shadow of the tree, and the shadows of the branches and leaves fell on his face. In front of him, the emotions in his eyes were dyed so deeply that they were unreadable.
He seemed to have something to say to her, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Liang Fu waited patiently until she felt uneasy in her heart: something that could make Fu Yucheng silent must have a heavy weight. Is she really ready to hear it?
Finally, Fu Yucheng lowered his head to look at her, his expression gradually softened, and his smile was deliberately ungrateful, "Senior sister, it's better not to think of me as a good person too much."
She sensed that he was no longer ready to talk about the thing that made him hesitate to talk. It seemed that what he wanted to say was so heavy that he had to muster up courage. If it's not the right time now, they can wait a little longer.
Liang Fu said with a smile: "I don't know if you are a good person. I only know that once I choose to trust someone, I will believe it to the end."
Fu Yucheng's eyes moved slightly, he paused for a moment, looked at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "...if one day you get to know the real me, I hope you won't feel disappointed."
This is the second time he has said such a thing.
"...I believe I have begun to understand the real you." She said this like a vow without hesitation.
If people were classified according to color, Fu Yucheng would definitely be "gray".
That's okay, she is red, the color of fire, and can live forever even if it is buried in ashes.
