Fu Yucheng immediately pushed aside the weeds. She was still smiling, as if she didn't feel the danger just now.
"I'm not afraid of falling."
"Anyway, I have already fallen." She smiled nonchalantly, lying half on top of him, kneeling on her knees, finding a point of strength between his legs, "... Fu Yucheng, what do you think about marrying me? "
"If you ask me again, I will take it seriously."
"I was serious."
In fact, last winter, Fu Yucheng was recovering from his injuries in her apartment, and she mentioned it in a joking tone when the two of them were getting tired of each other.
Fu Yucheng looked into her eyes. Her smile deepened, but the gap between her lips was tightly pressed into a thin line. Because of this nervousness, Fu Yucheng believed that what she said this time was true.
"...I think I need to think about it." Fu Yucheng said sincerely.
"You actually still need to think about it?" Liang Fu laughed, pressed her body towards him, put her arms on the outside of his shoulders, and pressed out the bitter green taste of the weeds. She lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.
Fu Yucheng didn't say anything, but held her waist and continued the kiss. It wasn't until their skins were red and swollen that they were bitten by an unknown insect in Kusama, then Fu Yucheng pushed her up.
Liang Fu's braid was messed up, so she took it apart, put the silk scarf on her arm, and re-braided it as she walked.
This area is the family area. Walking in, you will reach the campus. You have to pass through an iron gate. The guards only watch people who look like students and don't let them in or out.
Liang Fu pointed him to a teaching building not far away and said that she had attended classes in that classroom. The whole class was made up of girls, and no one was listening to the class. Everyone set up their textbooks and took a mirror to put on makeup secretly, because as soon as get out of class was over, countless boys came to pick them up, driving everything from bicycles to Rolls-Royce.
As they walked, they arrived at the playground. Under the magnolia trees with spreading branches and leaves beside the road, there was a street lamp, the light was melting.
"Fu Yucheng, what else do you have to think about?" The old conversation came up again. She tiptoed close to him, her breath close at hand, obviously not wanting him to think carefully.
Fu Yucheng looked at the light and shadow falling on her bright facial features, and felt a throbbing in his heart that required effort to suppress. It was more than joy, closer to an unspeakable pain, "Do you really want to marry me?"
Liang Fu said with a smile: "Otherwise? Is Senior Sister such a person who doesn't want to take responsibility?"
The light reflected his pure facial features, and he cast his eyes on her, as if he was studying something.
"Fu Yucheng, are you unhappy?"
Fu Yucheng was silent for a moment, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "I have nothing now."
A car, a house, a career that has not yet started. If it wasn't Liang Fu, then there wouldn't be anyone else, but in his plan, this matter should be postponed, at least until he no longer resists the Liang family.
"I don't want anything from you. Don't you love me?"
Fu Yucheng looked at her, his lips slightly parted. Due to my personality, I couldn't say those three words calmly. Of course he loves her, from her skin to her soul, and even her occasional willful temperament as a young lady, he feels is just right, just like a girl's fair cheeks, it is most suitable to have two freckles.
"I said I would have no regrets about this. But... I need to think about it."
Liang Fu blinked, "How long do you think about it?"
It was already inappropriate for the woman to take the initiative in proposing, but he didn't agree quickly enough. Fu Yucheng also felt that if he posted about it, he would be scolded and become a hot search topic. He held Liang Fu's waist, put her into his arms, and coaxed her, but in a firm tone: "...twenty-four hours."
Liang Fu smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
They held hands and walked along the slope towards the door. The guard didn't seem to remember registering such two people and was a little confused, but Liang Fu immediately pulled Fu Yucheng out without giving anyone a chance to inquire carefully.
They had to pass through a smoky alley lined with shops before they could reach the main road.
Fu Yucheng paused and asked Liang Fu: "What will you do if I don't give you a definite answer after twenty-four hours?"
Liang Fu looked at him with a smile, and her tone could not tell whether it was true or not, "...should I dump you?"
"seriously?"
She seemed stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "...No, Fu Yucheng. I always take the initiative, but you have to let me regain my position."
"If you dump me, will you give me a chance to pursue you again?" He also smiled a little, his tone sounded like a joke and a test.
Liang Fu smiled, "I don't know. Why don't you give it a try?"
After turning off the lights in the dormitory, there was still Li Wenyao suppressing the sound of typing on the keyboard, while Jiang Chen hid on the balcony and called someone.
Fu Yucheng couldn't sleep, so he got up from the bed again, turned on the lamp and looked for a cigarette, closed the door, and walked to the top of the corridor.
There was a tall sycamore tree outside the transom. The leaves were swaying at night, and a shadow fell on the window. He looked through the window and felt uneasy.
Natou lit a cigarette and waited for the nicotine to pass through his lungs, then he began to think again.
Counting the points, he is 30% talented and 70% aloof, and has a very inappropriate perfectionism. He will use his head to marry Liang Fu?
Not to mention that he still owed Zhou Tanxiao 200,000 yuan. Even if he didn't owe Zhou Tanxiao, even if Liang Fu didn't care about betrothal gifts and dowry, she had to buy the right ring, take wedding photos, and pay for the ceremony.
Take 10,000 steps back, don't need any of these, just get a certificate and keep everything simple. Can the parents of the Liang family follow this?
Choose her, the purest person, and lower her head and take the shortcut that everyone looks down upon; or stick to her old self and bet on whether Liang Fu will give him a chance.
How could he be sure that he would win the bet?
·
Liang Fu receives an unexpected visitor.
She slept all night and woke up early in the morning. She had several missed calls on her mobile phone that was set to silent, including one from Liang Andao, one from Zhang Pingyu, and one from Tan Lin.
Tan Lin left a message on WeChat asking if she was free.
Scroll up, the last conversation they had was shortly after she was discharged from the hospital. Tan Lin asked her how she was recovering, but she didn't reply.
Liang Fu went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, holding the electric toothbrush in her mouth. She freed her hand to say, "What's the matter?"
Half an hour later, Liang Fu rushed to a cafe across the street from the dance company. Tan Lin was already waiting there, feeling a little embarrassed. She walked in and sat across from Tan Lin, took off her sunglasses and put them on the table, picked up the menu, glanced at it, and ordered an American iced coffee.
Tan Lin looked at her. She was wearing quite casual clothes and didn't even put on makeup. Even so, she had an aura of being pampered. She might not be aware of it, but it was very obvious to outsiders.
When the coffee was served and Liang Fu was adding sugar cubes to it without any distractions, Tan Lin finally spoke, "Sister Liang Fu, I heard from Teacher Yang that you are going to stay in the league and become a teacher."
"What, you want to worship me as your teacher?"
After the words fell, there was a silence. Liang Fu was surprised, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled, "...you surprised me."
Tan Lin wrung her fingers and bit her lips lightly, as if forcing herself not to flinch, "...I've always wanted to talk to you before."
"About the rumors in the group?"
Tan Lin said nothing.
"If you want me to comfort you, then I probably can't do it. I'm quite stingy. Just have a clear conscience. When I replaced Zhou Tan as the starter, there were different people who made irresponsible remarks."
He said that he did not comfort her, but he still comforted her casually. Tan Lin's heart felt like she had been pricked by needles. She would never forget what Liang Fu said to her that time in the toilet, brushing away the messy hair from her forehead. She also believed so, so she gritted her teeth and persisted despite those suspicions.
"Sister Liang Fu, believe it or not, I didn't harm you. I never had any such thoughts. If I had even the slightest bad intention, I deserve to be banned from the stage for the rest of my life."
Liang Fu smiled and glanced at her, "Then why did you peek at my certificate?"
Tan Lin bit her lip, "Because I'm jealous of you, and I want to surpass you and go to a higher place than you."
Liang Fu was really surprised.
She always takes a high look at people who openly admit their desires. She knew that the current public opinion atmosphere was difficult for Tan Lin. Although there was a shortage of jobs, as long as the resentment was not cleared away and a good candidate appeared to replace her, she would most likely become an abandoned son.
If you come here and find the rightful owner directly, it is considered a dangerous battle.
Tan Lin raised her gaze slightly and looked at Liang Fu who said nothing, feeling uneasy. She didn't have much contact with Liang Fu, but when she was learning dance, videos of Liang Fu's performances were always played on loop in the dance classroom. The teacher used her as a teaching material, and even asked them to follow the instructions no matter how far they bent their fingertips. Lu Qie was hypocritical, but Liang Fu was really her idol, and it was only later that she became a colleague and a target.
After a long while, Liang Fu glanced at her face and said lightly: "In ancient times, it was necessary to salute when becoming a disciple."
She didn't mean to embarrass her, but who would have thought that Tan Lin picked up the coffee cup in front of her and asked, "Can coffee be used instead of tea?" She stood up, pushed away the stool, and stood in the aisle. She really wanted to kneel down on her.
Liang Fu immediately stopped the person, paused, and said calmly: "I will not be more lenient than Teacher Yang."
Tan Lin was stunned for a moment, almost with tears in her eyes, lowered her head and choked: "... In three years, no, two years at most, I will definitely surpass you!"
Tan Lin still wanted to train. After they left, Liang Fu drank the coffee in one gulp. She lowered her head and put the pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, blocking her inquiring eyes while shedding tears.
She recalled that when Zhou Tan was notified that he was going to Russia for exchange on her behalf, he made a phone call and carefully considered every word because he did not want to hurt her. She said she didn't care, and wished Zhou Tan had a good time there, and she'd better fulfill her wish to find the handsome boy Mao Zi.
The world will not wait for her, she has to take her own steps to catch up with the world.
In the past, she did things without leaving any way out for herself. She said she wanted to dance, even if she broke up with Zhang Pingyu, she would still dance.
Now to change the route halfway, we have to show the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist.
·
With only two hours left before the twenty-four-hour appointment, Liang Fu finally received a call from Fu Yucheng, saying that he was outside the community and asked her to open the door.
Liang Fu couldn't summarize how she spent most of the rest of the day after meeting Tan Lin. Clean the apartment completely, throw away some old things you don't need, and go out and buy a bouquet of lisianthus to put in a vase.
She had no intention of entertainment, and it was like there was a flaming stone in her stomach. The closer the prescribed time limit was, the more uncomfortable it made her.
The door downstairs was opened remotely, and not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Liang Fu ran over before putting on her slippers. The door opened and Fu Yucheng stood outside. He was wearing a black shirt, his forehead resting on his brow bone, and his eyes looked down at a lake where egrets did not fly.
His steps were somewhat frivolous, and when he walked in, he leaned against the wall and happened to hit the switch.
Liang Fu smelled a strong smell of alcohol, "Have you been drinking?"
He raised his hand to turn on the light, but his hand was grabbed by Fu Yucheng. In the darkness, he could smell the smell of alcohol on his breath, but his voice had a soberer coldness than usual, "Liang Fu, I have to tell you something."
"Let's talk after we go in..."
"Just tell me here. If you want to drive me out, it won't take much trouble." In the darkness, Fu Yucheng leaned against the door panel, squatted down and sat on the floor, rustled into his pants pocket, and lit a cigarette.
Liang Fu had a premonition that this was the closest she would get to the secret that he had been reluctant to reveal for many times, but she suddenly felt timid.
Fu Yucheng flipped his wrist and handed the cigarette to her. She took it hesitantly, biting the wet filter tip, and took a sip, her throat felt a little painful as if it had been burned.
Then Fu Yucheng's voice sounded as cold as ice.
Before coming, Fu Yucheng went to the mall and then the supermarket to buy a bottle of liquor, which has a high alcohol content.
Opposite her community, there is an old gymnasium with more than a hundred steps. When you reach the top and look down, you can only see the tree crown extending all the way, with street lights like fireflies leaking out from between the gaps.
He sat on the steps, drank half a bottle of white wine, and thought about the whole day. He rummaged through the box and thought about it again. He felt a little drunk, and then went to find her.
"...When I was in my third year of high school, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. My family had no money, and I had to take the college entrance examination. I kept putting it off until I was a freshman in college. I couldn't put it off any longer. At that time, I worked as a tutor for a boy who was in his second year of high school. He teaches English and physics and is paid by the hour. The boy's parents are divorced and he lives with his mother. His mother runs her own business and owns three chain beauty salons. She is very easy-going and will stay if she is not working overtime. I ate at her house. She cooks by herself and is very good at steamed pork ribs..." At this point, Fu Yucheng took a puff of cigarette, which may have been a bit urgent. He choked and coughed a few times, and then calmed down for a moment before speaking again.
"She found out about my mother's illness and said she could help me by paying all the surgery fees. Of course there was a price... She set out the conditions and let me think about it myself. I thought about it for a week and finally agreed. I would accompany her. One week, two hundred thousand." He spoke faster and faster, fearing that if he spoke slowly, his numb calmness would not be enough.
Liang Fu was stunned. Many emotions came to her, and she couldn't analyze them into categories.
Fu Yucheng's narration ended here. He chewed on a cigarette, went to dig into his pants pocket, grabbed her hand, and stuffed it into a square velvet box.
After shopping in the mall for a long time, there was only a small balance left on the card after swiping the money, leaving only money for food next month. I couldn't choose a big diamond, so I could see that the shopping guide was not discriminating, so I asked him enthusiastically, "Sir, are you sure about this size?" He said he was sure, No. 10 would be suitable.
"...Liang Fu, the real me is actually this kind of person, much worse than you think. I have no secrets from you. If you are not disappointed, then marry me."
Since then, he quit his job as a tutor, changed his mobile phone number, and completely cut off contact with people. The man kept his promise and never came back to him. Later, he Baoyan left Jiangcheng and has nothing to do with that past event since then. No one said anything, including Zhao Hui and Shao Lei.
He can remain tight-lipped and completely distance himself from the person he was five years ago.
But with him, from the very beginning, there was no hiding this option.
Love is giving 100% of your flesh and blood, even if it is devastated, and even if the other person abandons you, you will have no regrets.
He heard a choking sound, and then a hand grabbed his collar, got up and knelt on both sides of his legs. The hand grasped his shoulder, and he raised his head to kiss the corner of his mouth, which was moist and slightly salty.
There was a dull pain in his chest, and he paused for a while before accepting the kiss.
It's like a person who has been in the dark for too long will feel dizzy for a moment when he sees the light.
I didn't know that it was light, and I didn't believe that I was so lucky.
"...Fu Yucheng, I will marry you." She grabbed his hand and handed him the diamond ring in the box.
He touched her middle finger, put it on, and pushed it to the base of her finger. It just fit.
In the confusion, the kiss was so passionate that it almost passed by. Fu Yucheng put his arm around her waist, picked her up, and took her to the sofa. They fell down, the cowhide material feeling cold to the touch.
The light was never turned on.
But there was never a moment when they could see each other clearly like at this moment.
Delivering sincerity and bottom line is like a blood-blooded alliance ceremony.
