I am doing well in the Siheyuan

After being intimate with Zhou Xiaobai for a while, Ye Ming let her go, looked at Ran Qiuye, and said with a smile: "Qiuye, did you miss me?"

When Ran Qiuye heard Ye Ming's words, she couldn't help herself any longer, rushed into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said, "Yes, I do, I really do, I really do."

Hearing Ran Qiuye's answer, Ye Ming's handsome face was filled with smiles. Ran Qiuye hugged Ye Ming for a full five minutes before letting him go. "Xiaobai, Qiuye, how have you been doing during the time I was away?" Ye Ming sat on a chair and asked Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye with a smile.

Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but answer after hearing this...

"During the time you were away, my daily life didn't change, but I missed you so much without you." Zhou Xiaobai said, turning his gaze to Ye Ming and continued, "Ye Ming, promise me that you won't leave me for too long in the future, okay?"

After Zhou Xiaobai finished speaking, Ran Qiuye also looked at Ye Ming, her pretty face full of expectation. From her eyes, it can be seen that what Zhou Xiaobai just said was exactly what Ran Qiuye was thinking. During Ye Ming's business trip in Shanxi, Ran Qiuye also missed him deeply. If possible, she also hoped that Ye Ming would not leave for a long time.

Hearing Zhou Xiaobai's words and seeing Ran Qiuye's gaze, Ye Ming stretched out his arms, gently embraced Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye, and responded gently: "Xiaobai, Qiuye, I promise you that I will not leave for so long in the future."

When Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye heard Ye Ming's answer, their eyes flickered with emotion.

......

Since Ye Ming came back from the exchange at Shanxi Juhong Steel Plant, his life has returned to peace. He works at the steel mill on weekdays and accompanies Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye in his spare time. His life is simple but fulfilling.

Time flies, and half a year has passed quickly. During this period, Ye Ming has been promoted from the director of the Propaganda Department to the head of the department, and Ran Qiuye has also been promoted from an ordinary primary school teacher to the deputy head of the teaching and research group under the Jingdu Xicheng District Education Bureau. In addition to Ye Ming's secret help, Ran Qiuye's progress is more due to her own efforts. If Ran Qiuye is not outstanding enough, no matter how hard Ye Ming tries, it will be useless.

Zhou Xiaobai, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and others have also completed their high school studies and are preparing to join the army according to their parents' wishes. Ning Wei, under the supervision of Ye Ming and Zhong Yuemin, has read at least ten books a month in the past six months, and has read each book carefully at least ten times. Through reading, Ning Wei's temperament has changed significantly. Now he is very calm in both speaking and doing things, and is no longer as impulsive as before, as if he has become a different person. Ye Ming is very pleased with Ning Wei's changes.

One evening, in the living room of Ye Ming's courtyard, Ye Ming, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others sat on their chairs and chatted. "Yuemin, when are you going to the army?" Ye Ming sat on the chair, drank a sip of tea, and asked Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin replied, "Maybe in half a month." He paused, sighed, and then said, "Ye Ming, after we join the army, we won't be able to meet each other anytime like we do now."

As soon as Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but speak.

"Yuemin is right. After joining the army, it's hard for us brothers to get together."

Yuan Jun continued.

"Indeed, it's not easy to meet after joining the army."

Suddenly, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and Yuan Jun all showed a trace of sadness and helplessness on their faces.

After graduating from high school, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and Yuan Jun all enlisted in the army according to their families' arrangements.

Once you become a soldier, you will no longer have the freedom you have now. Naturally, the days when brothers can get together and chat like now will become rare.

In comparison, Zheng Tong did not have as many emotions as Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and Yuan Jun.

The reason why Zheng Tong didn't feel anything was very simple, that is, he did not choose to join the army like them.

After graduating from high school, he went to work in a research institute as arranged by his parents.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Tong couldn't help but say:

"Yuemin, Haiyang, Yuanjun, you are just going to serve as soldiers, not to fight in the war, why are you so sad?"

"Although it won't be easy to meet in the future, we can still write to each other."

"Besides, just because it's hard to meet doesn't mean we can't meet."

After hearing this, Ye Ming also spoke:

"Brothers, Zheng Tong is right. It's not like we won't see each other again in the future, so why make it like a life-and-death separation?"

"Being sentimental like a woman is not our style."

Zhong Yuemin listened to Ye Ming's words and said with a smile:

"Go to hell, Ye Ming, you are more like a woman."

Zhang Haiyang and Yuan Jun also said with a smile:

"Yuemin is right, Ye Ming, you are the woman."

"That's right, Ye Ming, you are the sentimental woman."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming also responded with a smile:

"You guys..."

As Ye Ming, Zhong Yuemin and others joked with each other, the originally sad atmosphere instantly became relaxed and happy...

That night, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and others had dinner at Ye Ming's house, and then rode their bicycles home.

After Zhong Yuemin and the others left, Ye Ming read for an hour, washed up, and went to bed.

The night gradually faded away like ink, a red sun rose, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the courtyard, as if covering the courtyard in a golden curtain.

Ye Ming woke up on time, put on his clothes, and went to wash up.

After washing up, Ye Ming started to eat breakfast.

A small bowl of millet porridge, a few boiled eggs, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a few steaming steamed buns, this is Ye Ming's breakfast.

After breakfast, Ye Ming wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said to Qin Jingru next to him:

"Jingru, your cooking skills are getting better and better, not bad, not bad."

Qin Jingru, who was cleaning the room, heard Ye Ming's words and a smile appeared on her fair face.

In the past six months, Qin Jingru has been committed to improving her cooking skills while taking care of Mrs. Long's daily life.

Whenever she received Ye Ming's praise, Qin Jingru felt as sweet as drinking honey. In addition to being happy, she redoubled her efforts to study cooking. After half a year of hard work, Qin Jingru's cooking skills are now no less than those of some chefs in big hotels.

Qin Jingru is so persistent in improving herself and becoming more outstanding. Her motivation is simple: she hopes to be worthy of Ye Ming one day.

Although Qin Jingru had never revealed her feelings to Ye Ming, the smart Ye Ming had already realized that Qin Jingru might have developed feelings for him.

Although he noticed this, Ye Ming did not point it out. In his opinion, the current relationship with Qin Jingru was quite ideal. If this window paper was broken, Ye Ming really didn't know how to deal with Qin Jingru's sincere feelings.

It is true that after half a year of getting along, Ye Ming began to feel some affection for Qin Jingru, but it was limited to affection and was far from the level of liking her.

Therefore, for Qin Jingru, Ye Ming decided to leave everything to time and fate.
