Autumn Yu'an

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Yu'an returned to City S two days early.

Lin Ma complained a lot, and filled Lin Yu'an with a large box of food before letting her go.

When Lin Yu'an returned to S City, Qin Qingqiu had already returned.

"Knowing that you're here, I came back from Yunnan ahead of schedule," Qin Qingqiu washed the fruits and put them on the coffee table.

Lin Yujian asked casually, "Which friends did you spend the New Year with?"

"A friend opened an inn in Dali. I stayed there for a few days and had dinner together," Qin Qingqiu said while supporting his head, "By the way, we went to Erhai Lake for a bike ride."

"Next year, will I accompany you?" Lin Yu'an shook her hand and said.

"Don't you go home to accompany your parents every year?" Qin Qingqiu pinched her ears, fingering the thin earlobe.

"Always let go, let them learn to be independent", Lin Yu'an sighed, "I can go home early to accompany them".

Qin Qingqiu shook his head, "It's okay, I'm used to being alone, they are different, you have a child, I look forward to you going back to celebrate the New Year every year."

"Qin Qingqiu, sometimes, I really wish that you would be more self-willed and pampered." Lin Yu'an frowned and said, "You are too mature."

"I know you think I'm old", Qin Qingqiu pinched her face, "Do you want a young and sweet love? Good boy, I'm sorry, it's a mature sister."

"I'm not a child," Lin Yu'an patted her hand away, "Sometimes, I also want you to lose your temper and be self-willed, so..." Lin Yu'an touched his nose, and said shyly, "I want it too, to coax you" .

"Yo, you're really sensible, you know how to be filial to me," Qin Qingqiu said with a smile, and started peeling apples with a paring knife again.

Lin Yu'an got annoyed, grabbed her apple, and started to peel it, "It's boring, Qin Qingqiu, can't you show weakness?".

"What?" Qin Qingqiu raised his eyebrows, "Now I want to occupy a strong position in the relationship between the two of you."

Lin Yu'an's apple-peeling hand paused, and he turned his head to look at her, "Isn't it possible?".

Qin Qingqiu couldn't help laughing, "Just you? Chicken Cub".

Lin Yu'an got angry, and threw down the apple and pressed her on the sofa, "Believe it or not, I'll make you cry!".

"Try?" Qin Qingqiu stretched out his hand to pinch her ear, wanting to turn over, but Lin Yu'an held her still.

She has long hands and feet, and is tall. She often goes to the gym, holds Lin Yu'an's wrist, and is about to turn over.

Lin Yu'an reached out to her waist to tickle, Qin Qingqiu laughed so hard that he rolled on the sofa, losing all strength, and looked at her with shining eyes.

"Qingqiu, you are mine, no one can touch you", Lin Yu'an's eyes were burning, he pressed her hand, looked down at her, and spoke with certainty.

After the two messed around on the sofa for a while, Qin Qingqiu went to take a shower, and Lin Yuan sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Didi, Lin Yuan received a text message.

"You don't know her at all, her past, her past...",

"Did you know? Her longest relationship lasted no more than two years. If you count the days, you should be close."

Lin Yu'an looked a little dazed, the circles of his eyes gradually turned red, and he stared at the phone and shed tears.

Qin Qingqiu passed by and saw that something was wrong with her, "What's wrong?" Lin Yu'an put the phone behind his back.

"Take it out", Qin Qingqiu spread his hands and said, Lin Yu'an hesitated for a while, seeing Qin Qingqiu's cold eyes, handed her the phone.

When Qin Qingqiu saw it, his black eyes were on fire, sparks flew out.

Qin Qingqiu returned to the room and closed the door, only faintly hearing her deliberately lowered voice, and the extremely fast speaking speed.

Qin Qingqiu hung up the phone, walked out of the room, his expression was slightly concentrated, he smiled when he saw Lin Yu'an, and sat beside her.

Seeing Qin Qingqiu's eyes roll upwards, Lin Yu'an knew that she was considering how to talk to him.

Lin Yu'an spoke first, "Lin Yu'an, a family of three, an only daughter, lives and studies in City C, and moves to City S after graduation.

I used to like a girl named Lin Xia when I was studying, so I confirmed my sexuality, now I like a woman named Qin Qingqiu",

"Qingqiu, it's your turn." Lin Yu looked at her quietly.

Qin Qingqiu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lin Yu'an waited patiently for her to speak, Qin Qingqiu raised his hand to touch her face, Lin Yu'an grabbed her in his hand and looked at her.

After a long silence, Qin Qingqiu said softly, "I don't want to mention my family's affairs, and I don't think it's necessary to mention my past relationship experience. Yu'an, can you leave me some space."

Lin Yu'an glanced at her, "Qin Qingqiu, you're really boring."

She rubbed her eyes, "I have no reservations about you, and you have never believed me."

Qin Qingqiu watched her cry, and the circles of his eyes were red, "I told you 1, and you would think of 234, do you think it's interesting?".

Qin Qingqiu wiped away her tears, "I told Luo Yanyan that she won't send you any more messages."

Lin Yu'an sighed lightly, and did not continue to ask questions.

Her personality is that she doesn't embarrass others, and she always thinks of others in everything. In the past, Lin Xia always said that a good person like her is easy to be bullied and used by others.

Lin Yu'an's attitude towards friends is always, if you don't tell, I won't ask, but if you tell, I will listen and keep secrets for you.

Her personality is very attractive to friends, but her passive personality will gradually cut off contact with her friends as time and distance separate.

Lin Yu'an felt that this was a respect for friends, but when it comes to feelings and Qin Qingqiu.

On the one hand, she felt that she should respect her and leave her space, but on the other hand, the suspicion and uneasiness brought about by insecurity would cause sharp thorns in her heart.

In the past there was Wang Mu, now there are Wei Ming and Luo Yanyan, they are like thorns in Lin Yu'an's heart, they will hurt her from time to time.

A week later, Luo Yanyan did not send any more messages to Lin Yu'an, but she came to the door directly.

Qin Qingqiu was cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron, when Lin Yuan helped her, the doorbell rang.

Lin Yu'an didn't know whether he should open the door, so he asked Qin Qingqiu to take a look.

Qin Qingqiu saw Luo Yanyan from the video at the door, opened the door with a cold expression on his face, "Why are you here?"

Lin Yuan thought, Luo Yanyan should know that Qin Qingqiu is at home, and the hidden key card is no longer needed.

"I miss you, come and see you", Luo Yanyan entered the door, stretched out his hand to hang Qin Qingqiu's neck, leaned on her body, twisting and turning.

Lin Yuan was so angry that he broke the carrot in his hand with a crisp sound.

"What are you crazy about?! Did you listen to what I told you? What did I ask you to do here?" Qin Qingqiu angrily pulled her hand away.

"Come and eat, I promised you, there must be some benefits, a meal, it's not too much." Luo Yanyan just took out the cigarette case, saw Qin Qingqiu's eyes, and put it back.

Luo Yanyan glanced at Lin Yu'an protestingly, and sat on the sofa swaggeringly, watching the variety show on TV with a frown, and turned it off immediately.

Luo Yanyan dug out Qin Qingqiu's record with familiarity, played the melodious music, and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, squinting her eyes and listening.

"Yu'an, Yu'an, the carrot is going to be peeled off by you," Qin Qingqiu said helplessly, she watched Lin Yu'an holding a carrot and a peeling knife, comparing each other more ruthlessly, and there was only half of the carrot left.

"Qingqiu, when did you start watching such unnutritious variety shows? I remember you used to only love to listen to classical music at home." Luo Yanyan poked her head out, with maroon wavy hair, in the sunshine outside the window , glowing, oily and supple, against her beautiful face, has a special charm.

"Qingqiu, let me cut the radishes for you." Lin Yu'an raised the kitchen knife high and landed on the cutting board with a snap, the radishes were cut into two.

"You go out first, I can do it myself." Qin Qingqiu's forehead twitched and he drove her out.

"I want to help you, Qingqiu." Lin Yu'an hugged Qin Qingqiu from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, and looked at Luo Yanyan proudly.

Luo Yanyan closed her eyes directly.

"Okay, don't make trouble, I can't cook anymore, be good," Qin Qingqiu coaxed softly,

"Then I'll watch you cook here." Lin Yu'an didn't want to face Luo Yanyan, so he stood by the kitchen and watched Qin Qingqiu busy.

Qin Qingqiu moved very quickly, and within a short time, he prepared three dishes and one soup. Originally, the dishes for two people were not included in Luo Yanyan's share, Lin Yu'an was very happy.

One meat, two vegetables, one soup, braised pork, celery, West Lake tofu, and dried scallop fish maw soup.

"It's a delicious soup. I haven't had it for a long time." Luo Yanyan held a bowl of soup unceremoniously. She looked at the bowl of braised pork in disgust, "When did you eat so greasy?".

Qin Qingqiu gave her a blank look, and handed the soup to Lin Yu'an, "Drink a bowl of soup first, then eat",

Lin Yu'an stretched out the chopsticks for the braised pork, reluctantly took them back, and started to drink the soup with the bowl.

"It looks good to have an obedient little lover," Luo Yanyan said with a smile.

"The soup can't stop your mouth, so get out after eating," Qin Qingqiu said.

"Hey, I, Luo Yanyan, am a young lady after all. Can you be more polite to me?" Luo Yanyan said unhappily, "I don't know how many people outside are begging me to have dinner with them?".

"Did I beg you to come and eat?" Qin Qingqiu ignored her, and put a piece of braised pork into Lin Yu'an's bowl.

Lin Yu'an loves to eat meat, Qin Qingqiu made this bowl of braised pork specially for her, she can eat vegetables and soup by herself.

There are too many entertainments outside, and she eats very lightly at home.

Luo Yanyan didn't even touch the braised pork with her chopsticks. She is a figure-conscious person and picky about her food.

Lin Yu'an was very happy to eat, and even took a spoon to pour some juice on the rice, mixed it, it tasted delicious.

In the past, my friends loved eating with Lin Yu'an, seeing how delicious her food was, I had a great appetite.

"Eat slowly, and no one will compete with you", Qin Qingqiu said with a smile, every time she saw Lin Yu'an eating her cooking, it tasted so delicious, she was very happy.

"It's as if I haven't eaten braised pork in eight lifetimes," Luo Yanyan said in disgust, but his eyes fell on the burnt red and shiny braised pork, and he swallowed secretly.

The author has something to say: because it is half memory and half story... so there is no turbulent plot, it is all about the workplace, family and classmates... There is no very catchy plot.

I wrote it according to the timeline. Every year after graduation, Lin Yuan is changing, and the people around her are also changing.

When I was in school, I was very simple, but after entering work, faced with different environments, sometimes I questioned myself, I felt that I was good enough, whether I should change, I was stubborn, and I was hesitant...

Subtly, unconsciously, sometimes, you will also change, changing into yourself you don't know...

But looking back, the original self is still there, and that is enough.
