Chapter 152
Chapter 152 Do you think I am afraid?
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the plane arrived at Ningcheng Airport on time, and the car that Shi Yi borrowed from a friend had already been sent to the airport by the driver in advance.
It takes more than an hour to drive from the airport to the town where Fu Sitian’s home is located. Although it was the first time to take this road, Fu Sitian was a native of Ningcheng, and the route was more familiar than Shi Yi, so the car was handed over to Fu Sitian to drive.
Speaking of it, this is Shi Yi’s first time riding in Fu Sitian’s car. She sat in the passenger seat and looked sideways at Fu Sitian, who was skillfully manipulating the steering wheel in the driver’s seat. Suddenly, she had a very strange feeling.
It’s like the scene where she first came to Ningcheng on high speed to meet Fu Sitian many years ago is still vivid, and when she blinked, the sweet and young girl who was blushing with her ears after receiving the rose has been born and completed. Such a mature and charming appearance.
She felt the reality of the passage of time. It is fascinating and regrettable. I regret not to accompany Fu Sitian through the most difficult road in her life, and never see all of her growth and transformation.
“What’s the matter?” Fu Sitian smiled and asked as if he had noticed her too long attention.
Shi Yi retracted his eyes, sighed softly in his heart, and said lightly, “I feel a little melancholy.”
Fu Sitian was puzzled: “Huh?”
Shi Yi answered the question: “I haven’t asked you when you learned the car.”
Fu Sitian replied truthfully: “I was going to learn after opening a restaurant. Because I didn’t know anything at the beginning, and I was embarrassed to let my mother help me handle it, so the ingredients were determined after I went through the market one by one. At that time, I found that there was no car. It’s inconvenient. The owner of the seafood market persuaded me to learn a car. I would drive a van in the future and it would be convenient to buy goods by myself. I thought about it and learned it.”
Shi Yi thought about Fu Sitian driving the van, and couldn’t help but smile: “Then what about your van?”
Fu Sitian said: “It’s handed over to the restaurant to purchase.”
It really does. Shi Yi’s smile deepened. She teased Fu Sitian half-truth and half-truth: “I learned it by myself without making a sound. What should I do? I used to think about how I would take you on the road hand in hand after you have a driver’s license for a long time.”
Fu Sitian waited for the red light, glanced sideways at Shi Yi, his eyes flashed with obvious surprise and emotion.
Shi Yi added the following words: “After all, it should be very interesting to see you at a loss and acting calmly.”
Unexpectedly, Fu Sitian glanced at him and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed: “Shi Yiyi, you have a dislike for fun.”
Shi Yi hooked her lips, but did not excuse.
Fu Sitian keenly noticed that Shi Yi’s emotions seemed to sink a little. When the green light came on, she shifted gears, kept up with the traffic, thought about it, and said softly: “Actually, I haven’t run a high speed. Next time I run a high speed, will you take me?”
Shi Yi was slightly surprised, and then it became clear that she wanted to satisfy her soft mind. Suddenly, her melancholy disappeared, leaving nothing but sweetness.
“Then last time you said you would drive the return trip?” She deliberately provoked.
Fu Sitian’s ears became red and he was obviously embarrassed: “Then…I am not afraid of you.”
Shi Yi looked at her without speaking. Seeing that Fu Sitian became more and more guilty and his ears became redder, he finally laughed and said, “I don’t know if Xizhu and Fanlu knew how to be afraid at the time.”
She leaned forward and opened the center console in the mood to check the music library that came with the car.
Fu Sitian knew how teasing Shi Yi’s eyes should be without even looking. The corners of her lips curled up, bit her lip, acting like a baby without knowing it, and asked: “Then you know now, are you afraid?”
Shi Yi’s fingertips were casually in the music library, and a prelude to a song that they hadn’t heard sounded. She turned to the side, staring at Fu Sitian’s soft face, with a bright smile, and asked in a voice: “Do you think I’m afraid?”
Fu Sitian looked at her, and Xinhu followed her eyes. She didn’t answer, just looking at the road ahead, the corners of her lips curled higher and higher.
Shi Yi didn’t speak anymore, he let out a laugh from his nose, and leaned back in the chair.
She knew that Fu Sitian could guess it.
She is not afraid.
“Blue bricks, tiled houses, dim yellow lights. Mist, cool mist… just ordinary time poems, poems written for the rest of your life…” The singing voices slowly flowed in the car, and the brilliant golden light in the afternoon filled the sea through the clouds. .
Shi Yi watched driving onto the cross-sea bridge, all the way south, watching the cable stays on both sides retreating rapidly, and the white street light poles cyclically disappearing and reappearing, as if they were endless, pouting, and closing his eyes slightly. Relax and cozy.
She is really not afraid, in other words, she has never been so at ease in someone’s car. It doesn’t seem to matter where Fu Sitian is going to take her. It doesn’t matter if there is an end in front, or whether it will be the end in the next second.
As long as Fu Sitian is still next to her, they will be together.
After three o’clock, the car drove into the intersection where Shi Yi had stopped and steadily arrived at the village where Fu Sitian’s home was located. Parked the car on the ancestral hall not far from the house, Fu Sitian and Shi Yi walked in with large bags.
However, Shi Yi could see Fu Sitian’s hometown at a glance–because a very jubilant red inflatable arch had been erected at the entrance of the courtyard, and a short section of red carpet had also been laid.
It was a three-story concrete bungalow with a small area.
In the surrounding exterior walls or painted or tiled houses, it seems a bit lonely.
The door at the entrance is open, and a big red round wooden table and a few plastic stools have been placed. A few meters away, Shi Yi could already hear the women inside.
It was almost the first time that Shi Yi came to the countryside to attend such a wedding banquet.
She asked Fu Sitian, “Is there already a lot of people inside?”
Isn’t it the wedding reception tomorrow night?
Fu Sitian nodded: “It should be some of my aunt’s sisters who have come to help.” She paused, and suddenly calmed Shi Yi with her brows and eyes: “Don’t be nervous.” She dared to agree that Shi Yi came with her. Confirm that both uncles and aunts have accepted, and that Shiyi will not be upset.
Shi Yi was stunned, and didn’t appreciate: “I’m not nervous.”
Fu Sitian smiled softly without piercing her: “Then I think too much.”
As they spoke, the two had already reached the door. Before Shi Yigao’s calm expression had time to take it back, a middle-aged woman’s face suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
“Tian Tian! I just said that I heard your voice.”
Shi Yi immediately changed his face and quickly put on a kind and gentle smile.
Fu Sitian was distressed and funny, and calmly touched the back of Shi Yi’s hand, and then replied to Wang Meifen: “Auntie, your ears are so good, I don’t speak loudly.”
Wang Meifen smiled: “No, I’m getting old, and I still felt bad about my ears some time ago.” She said back to Fu Sitian, but her eyes remained fixed on Shi Yi, “This is…”
She hesitated, obviously knowing what she looked like inside.
Shi Yi took the initiative and introduced herself generously: “Auntie, my name is Shi Yi, you can call me a small hour.” She handed her the bird’s nest, tea, and wine gift box in her hand, and said in a gentle voice: ” The first time I came to the house, I didn’t know what you and uncle liked, so I just brought some small gifts. I hope you don’t dislike it.”
Wang Meifen had heard that Fu Sitian liked women, and he had been talking about it since college, so Fu Jiantao didn’t get too mixed up. She guessed that it was the person who made Fu Sitian prefer to be beaten and have to go out on a date. After so many years, I can break early.
At first, she thought that the other party should be in good conditions, but now that when she meets people, she finds that the conditions are not only good, the appearance, temperament, speaking and doing things are obviously all first-class.
One hundred satisfied at once.
If you don’t like men, it’s impossible for women to find the right one.
She immediately laughed, and said politely, “No, no, what do you do so politely”, and reached out to take the large gift boxes that Shi Yi handed over.
“Long far away, you are willing to come and have a wedding drink. Neither her uncle nor I know how happy they are.” She greeted, “Come in, come in.”
When Shi Yi looked at Fu Sitian, Fu Sitian smiled and nodded. Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and followed Wang Meifen into the courtyard.
Sure enough, there were already several middle-aged women in their 50s and 60s sitting in the yard by the wall on the right. They seemed to be frying or something. When they saw Fu Sitian and Shi Yi coming in, they all looked over.
Fu Sitian didn’t know them well, but he nodded to them with a sweet smile after seeing how many times he had met them over the years, which was regarded as greeting.
“This is the daughter of the old man, oh, I haven’t seen it in ten years, she looks so handsome.” An older woman sighed.
Wang Meifen immediately answered: “Sister, don’t think about it. People have an object. Your matchmaker can’t eat pork head.”
There was a burst of laughter immediately under the wall.
Fu Jiantao seemed to be attracted by the laughter and appeared at the gate.
Fu Sitian saw it first and raised a smile and shouted: “Uncle, I’m back.”
Only then did Shi Yi glance over at the sound, and ran into Fu Jiantao’s contemplative gaze.
Fu Jiantao is also looking at her.
No matter how uneasy Shi Yi was in his heart, he remained calm on his face. She still kept smiling, facing his gaze, nodded, followed Fu Sitian’s name, and greeted politely: “Hello, uncle.”
A bit higher than Tian Tian, gentle and innocent, just looking at the appearance, it really makes people unable to pick out any bad things.
Fu Jiantao reluctantly covered her appearance with the word “pass”. He nodded back to her, not cold, but not warmly greeted: “Come in and sit, it’s hot outside.”
Shi Yi smiled and responded, “Okay.”
Fu Sitian looked at his back, his eyes filled with waves, and He Shiyi said: “My uncle should be very satisfied with you at first sight.”
Shi Yi raised an eyebrow to express suspicion.
Fu Sitian didn’t laugh, and boldly took her wrist and walked in.
There was no one in the hall, it was quiet. The hall on the right has been emptied for the convenience of wine tomorrow, and only the three black and white photographs hanging high on the wall have not been removed.
Two elderly people and a middle-aged man.
It should be Fu Sitian’s grandparents and father. Shi Yi glanced at Fu Jianze’s portrait more calmly.
A small flat head, very thin, with slightly sunken cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wearing glasses. It can’t be said that it resembles Fu Sitian, but it is not as fierce as everyone thought back then.
Fu Jiantao was sitting on the sofa in the left hall, already boiling water and waiting for them.
Fu Sitian and Shi Yi were about to walk over and sit down together. Not far from the corner of the stairs, Fu Siyu’s affectionate cry suddenly came: “Sister, sister, you are back!”
When the two turned around, they saw that Fu Siyu poked his head out of the stair railing and smiled at them: “Sister Shi, you are finally here, a warm welcome.”
Fu Sitian angered her: “You stand up, be careful not to fall.”
Fu Siyu said: “No. I’m halfway through the wedding dress trial, and I don’t know what I got stuck. The zipper suddenly can’t be closed. Sister, can you come up and help me pull it?
Fu Sitian glanced at Shi Yi, a little embarrassed, Fu Siyu acted like a baby: “Sister ”
Fu Sitian looked at Fu Jiantao, and wanted to say, “Otherwise, uncle, Shi Yi and I will go upstairs first.” Unexpectedly, Fu Jiantao would speak first for her: “Go and help her see, she’s frizzy and ragged. See what she will wear tomorrow. When you are young, do you sit down and drink Tieguanyin?”
Fu Sitian’s words were blocked in his throat.
Shi Yi, who was named, calmly replied: “I drink it all, uncle.”
She gave Fu Sitian a look that made her feel relieved. Fu Sitian hesitated, Shi Yi said silently with his lips: “Trust me.”
Fu Sitian bit her lip, still hesitating, Fu Jiantao suddenly said again: “Don’t worry, I don’t eat people.”
Fu Sitian blushed, and said to Shi Yi, “I’ll come down right away”, and ran upstairs in two steps in three steps.
The living room suddenly became quieter, and the sound of the slightly boiling water in the kettle became clear and audible.
Shi Yi approached Fu Jiantao and sat down generously on the single sofa next to him.
