little happiness

Chapter 021 I Love You

If it wasn't for overtime work, Du Ruo still habitually arrived home before ten o'clock. I don't know why this habit was developed.

When I got home in time, I didn't expect the lights in the living room to be turned on.

Du Ruo wanted to put the backpack back in the room first, and then confirm whether Ye Qingqi had returned, but when he passed the balcony, he saw a figure that he had not seen all this time.

The two looked at each other through a floor-to-ceiling window, and Ye Qingqi beckoned to Du Ruo.

Seeing this gesture, Du Ruo immediately walked over, "Mr. Ye, you are back."

"Yeah." Ye Qingqi looked at the time as he said, it was exactly 21:57, "Go and change clothes and come here."

Du Ruo, who was obedient, ran back to the room first, put the bag on the chair, changed into home clothes, and trotted all the way to the terrace.

"Did you just get off work?"

Du Ruo shook his head, "No, I... went to see a stage play today."

"Looking more at these creative and inspiring things will help to develop ideas, not bad." Ye Qingqi sat on the bench, lit a candle with a lighter, and asked, "Would you like a drink or two?"

I don't know why, maybe the person in front of me is Ye Qingqi, because with her around, as long as I make random embellishments, the atmosphere will be different.

Du Ruo approached this figure and sat obediently by the side, all cautious, "My drinking capacity may still disappoint Mr. Ye."

"I won't be disappointed." Ye Qingqi picked up the automatic corkscrew, opened the red wine, poured lightly on the two cups, and then poured all the red wine into the sober vessel, "Because I didn't report my hope, but I will be in the workplace in the future. There will be a lot of details that you don't understand now, you don't need to drink, but you must know how to drink."

"Taste?" Du Ruo picked up the red wine, smelled it like Ye Qingqi, watched her drink it, and followed suit. When the red wine passed over the taste buds, Du Ruo frowned slightly, "It's so astringent."

"Astringency represents a long time."

"Is that very expensive?" Du Ruo kept trying to swallow the astringent feeling on his tongue, but he didn't want to waste it, so he poured the point from the cup into his mouth.

"The age of red wine does not represent its absolute value, but the composition and preservation of the wine, and the matching age can represent its value." Ye Qingqi said, took out two mousse cakes, and handed them to Du Ruo, "Take a bite .”

Du Ruo didn't expect there to be cakes, but she was not in a hurry to eat, but tilted her head to look behind Ye Qingqi, always feeling that there was a treasure chest behind her.

"looking at what?"

"Mr. Ye, is today a good day?" Du Ruo looked away, picked up a spoon and ate a piece of soft mousse cake, and gave a thumbs up, "It's delicious."

"Sure enough, I'm still a child. I give thumbs up when I eat cake, and frown when I drink red wine." Ye Qingqi said with a smile, and poured the red wine that had been awake for a while into the glass, but this time it was slightly more than the first time. Some, "Try again."

"I'm 22 and almost 23."

"22 years old." Ye Qingqi picked up the wine glass, looked at the red wine inside, with a beautiful halo in his eyes, and smiled, "What a good age."

"I think I'm too young." Du Ruo followed Ye Qingqi and drank another small cup, "I want to grow up as soon as possible so that I can do more things."

"Are you still afraid that you won't grow old?" Ye Qingqi poured wine into his glass, looked at Du Ruo and made a gesture, but she didn't expect that she immediately handed over the wine glass, "It seems that the cake goes well with wine."

Du Ruo took a sip of the cake and the red wine and said, "This cake paired with red wine is really much better than my previous three."

Although Du Ruo said so, in Ye Qingqi's eyes, she still has the feeling of a child wearing adult clothes. It's not that she is young, but that she can't bear to let such a pure person be slowly smoothed by society.

But when he thought of the intrigues in the real world and being around him all the time, Ye Qingqi withdrew his admiring gaze and said, "Tomorrow morning, go to Shengnuo's personnel department."

The well-fed Du Ruo was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that Jia Lan didn't want her anymore, she put down her glass and said seriously, "Did I do something wrong?"

Ye Qingqi didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, or was she always worried that Jialan would reject her?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingqi took a sip from his glass and said, "If you don't go to Chengnuo to get your internship contract back, how can you become a regular at Jialan?"

Du Ruo blinked, "Correct?"

"Could it be that you want to be an intern all the time?" Ye Qingqi rested his chin on one hand, held the wine glass in the other hand, sipped the red wine and asked curiously: "Du Ruo, why are you so nervous when you hear that you're going back to Cheng Nuo? Lan, have you never let you be at ease?"

"It's not unreliable, it's because I feel that I'm not good enough." Du Ruo shifted his eyes to the side, pursed his lips and said, "I just want to work hard and stay in Jialan."

Because in Jialan, there are people who are very important to her.

"In the process of learning financial investment, the teacher should have seen a lot of cases for you, and you should know that many companies either change careers or fall in family fortune. If you have chased stars and seen those combinations, when the time comes, they will go their separate ways. Fei, as the saying goes, there is no feast that never ends." Ye Qingqi said patiently, no matter where the person in front of him looked, "Whether it's in Chengnuo or Jialan, we will part ways one day."

Du Ruo had heard such words twice.

The first time was to leave my mother and come here to study in college.

Mom said: When you grow up, sooner or later you have to face the society and your own life alone. Mom and Dad will not be with you forever.

Although he felt sad and couldn't bear to leave his mother's protection, Du Ruo understood better that ever since the family had a younger brother, the world where his father dragged his mother was the only brother.

So in her life, she was actually facing herself very early on.

The second time was the graduation meeting of the senior year. The class leader said in front of the whole class: We are about to leave the campus soon, and we are facing a brand new world. I hope that we can all break out of our own new world and let our friendship grow. live.

At that time, Du Ruo was full of expectations in her heart. She always felt that her world had just begun after leaving the university, and she was even looking forward to it.

But when she heard Ye Qingqi say these words, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, especially when she was separated from this person in front of her.

"I don't want it!" Du Ruo replied directly, "I don't want it."

Ye Qingqi raised her eyebrows slightly, it was the first time she met Du Ruo like this in the past two months of getting along, it turned out that the character who always only smiled could also get angry sometimes.

"I still have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go rest after eating the cake." Ye Qingqi was about to get up and leave, but before he could turn around, Du Ruo grabbed his wrist, and looked at the figure sitting there with lowered eyebrows, showing doubts.

"Mr. Ye, I know that I am still just a child in your eyes, and many of my thoughts are immature." Du Ruo used her breath to adjust the panic and anxiety in her heart. After all, she has no position to say these words no matter from any angle. Said, but no matter where she stood, she wanted to say, "But I want to stay in Jialan, I want to be with Mr. Ye, I don't want to be arrogant, I mean it sincerely, and I also believe that there will always be a banquet in this world. disperse."

Ye Qingqi stood where he was, looked at Du Ruo's serious expression, and let her pull.

"So I will work hard, try hard to make myself mature, no longer like a child." After finishing speaking, Du Ruo pursed his lips and opened his hands lightly. He thought Ye Qingqi would say at most, but when he knew, he turned and left , I didn't expect to hear it.

"why?"

"Huh?" Du Ruo looked up at Ye Qingqi who was commanding, and asked, "Why?"

"Why did you say these things to me, why did you do so much for me?" Ye Qingqi put his hands on his chest and asked.

"Because... Mr. Ye, you are very kind to me, and you have taught me a lot." Du Ruo admitted that facing Ye Qingqi like this, she couldn't say those four words.

Ye Qingqi took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

The evening wind in mid-September brought a little coolness to the body, but it was not as cool as my heart when it blew on Du Ruo.

Duro looked back at the blown out candles on the table, the red wine in the container and the half of the cake he had left. He didn't leave in a hurry, but sat on a chair and poured himself a whole glass , and then held the red wine glass, looked and looked, thought and thought.

After drinking it in one gulp, his brows were wrinkled, then stretched out, and he said with a wry smile: "Du Ruo, you are a coward. After talking so much, you don't even dare to say the words I like you."

Du Ruo poured another glass while talking, thinking about Ye Qingqi's identity, her status, and her fiancé. After drinking another glass, she got an answer. She was just a dish on Ye Qingqi's banquet. Withdraw, whenever you want.

When thinking of this, Du Ruo's eyes turned red unknowingly.

……

After returning to the room, Ye Qingqi took a shower, put on his nightgown and sat on the comfortable sofa chair, what was thinking in his mind was not the cooperation meeting with Sheng Nuo tomorrow, but what Du Ruo said just now, that look in his eyes, like Myself back then.

——"Qingkong, I have confidently believed that my relationship with you is more than anything else, so I was wrong."

—— "You're right, Qingqi, it's my fault. The days when I'm with you are the happiest times in my life."

——"Then why, you still have to leave?"

Ye Qingqi habitually grabs the wine glass casually, and only when he is empty does he think of the red wine left on the terrace.

Getting up and checking the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, Ye Qingqi who opened the glass door was slightly taken aback, the figure who thought he had returned to his room early was still here.

Ye Qingqi walked over wearing slippers, looked at Du Ruo who had drunk all the red wine, smiled helplessly, leaned over and yelled twice.

Du Ruo responded with a murmur, and fell asleep again.

The helpless Ye Qingqi was the same as before, helping her back to the room and then helping her to make hangover tea, but as soon as she entered the room, Du Ruo turned around and hugged her, with a smug smile on her lips, said: "Finally let me hug you!" .”

Ye Qingqi didn't hear clearly, "Huh?", "Du Ruo?"

It was obvious that Du Ruo was still sleeping, but in a dream, she finally hugged that person, it was Ye Qingqi, and at the same time, she heard Ye Qingqi calling her name.

"Qingqi," Du Ruo closed his eyes and buried his head in Ye Qingqi's shoulder, "I like you..."

Ye Qingqi stood where he was, raised his arms and gently embraced the figure in his arms, and said softly, "Yes, I see."

……

The author has something to say:

When you like someone, you always worry about gains and losses.

Don't think that Xiao Ruo is still a child.

Maybe you were more children before you fell in love.

Shrug.
