love in bloom

"Well, she's still sleeping. I'll remind her when she wakes up."

"I don't see a cough, and my body temperature hasn't risen. It should be just a slight cold, and I can recover after two days of rest. Hmm, I saw the porridge, there are probably three bowls left..."

In the kitchen, Lin Yue had been on the phone with the nanny for a while.The old man loves to chatter, and when he gets worried, he has to ask a question several times before he will give up.She answered patiently, occasionally looking towards the living room.

The afternoon breeze gently blows in from one side, diffusing the smell of food constantly wafting from the kitchen.The muffled sound of bubbling and boiling in the casserole became clearer as the lid was lifted.

Stir a few times and close again.The voice was still soft and slow, "Well, I know, I will watch her eat, don't worry...Okay, let's do it first, I will go to see you some other day."

Lin Yue took a spoon to taste the taste, then added some salt, and lowered the heat to a slow boil.

The people in the living room were still lying on their sides, sleeping soundly without moving.

It's been a while.She wiped her hands and went out, considering whether to wake people up.

Yao Qingshu doesn't like to change her position when she sleeps. Sometimes she keeps lying on her side, and her shoulders are prone to soreness when she wakes up.She discovered this in the past, and she would always check it consciously at night, and turn her over if necessary.

Thinking about it now, it's like taking care of the disabled elderly...

"Pfft." Lin Yue was amused by her own thoughts, and she couldn't think much about this seductive sleeping face.

She squatted halfway in front of the sofa, and was surprised that Yao Qingshu's face seemed a little red.I wanted to touch it again to see if it was hot, but it might not be accurate if my hands touched the water just now, so I could only lean over and put my forehead against my forehead.

Hmm...it's about the same as hers, it seems that she won't have a fever anymore.

She was about to withdraw, but she couldn't stop, "Yao Qingshu, let go."

The person who took the opportunity to put the bracelet around her neck opened his eyes, looking sleepy.After staring at her in confusion for a while, he let go apologetically.

"Awake?"

"Yeah." Yao Qingshu actually woke up when Lin Yue called.If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't help reaching out to put on the ring when she leaned over just now, maybe it could delay a little longer.

"what time is it?"

"Three o'clock."

"Sleeping for so long." She sat up and turned to look outside.The shadows of the bushes have been elongated, and the light reflected on the curtain is slightly dimmed, not so glaring.

"Are you ready to go back?"

The tone was casual, but the lowered eyebrows were immersed in the orange light, and there was always a bit of indescribable loneliness.

"Leave later." Lin Yue still went against her original plan.After speaking, Yao Qingshu's mouth was obviously raised a little bit, and then he restrained himself to disappear into a calm and breezy look.

She put a pillow on the back of her waist, and asked plainly: "Are you hungry? I think the porridge is still good. You didn't eat anything at noon?"

"Nurse came to help cook the porridge. I didn't have much appetite at that time."

"However, I'm hungry now." There was a little smile in this sentence, which sounded a bit playful and provocative.

Like a leaf snapped off its branch and fell lightly into still water.

"The soup is almost ready..." Lin Yue ignored the ripples in his heart, and turned to fiddle with the things on the coffee table, "Come on, take your temperature again. By the way, is the medicine on the table prescribed by the doctor?"

"Yes. The nanny was worried and sent someone to the hospital to get the medicine."

"It needs to be taken on an empty stomach." She got up to pour water, and then poured out the granule and brought it over, "It's enough time, let's take the medicine first."

A trace of distress flashed in Yao Qingshu's eyes.But he didn't show his unhappy expression, he took it obediently, and swallowed those half-bitter but not sweet pills.

It was a little funny to find Lin Yue staring at her non-stop: "Don't stare at me like that, I'm not a child."

"I don't know who it is. When I caught a cold, I threw away the medicine when I was not paying attention. I thought no one knew."

"Hey……"

"Oh, okay, I won't expose your embarrassment." Lin Yue backed away before someone exploded, "After taking the medicine, eat fruit in 10 minutes." Pointing to a plate of cut pears on the table, Then he pulled up the thin blanket to wrap him around him.The action is done in one go.

Yao Qingshu stared at her briskly walking away, took out the apron and toolbox from the closet and went to the terrace.After a while, he bit his lip angrily.

This person seems to have learned to bully her.

"It happens to be free, let me take care of it for you." The person on the other side of the terrace has already put on an apron, standing in front of a cluster of flower branches swaying in the wind, his eyes glowing brightly.

Yao Qingshu looked at it with his chin propped up.

First I trimmed the dead branches, then watered them, and then readjusted the position of the flower pots.

In the past, she came back early from get off work, and she would drink coffee like this while watching Lin Yue busy.The faces of the people in the flowers are full of joy, and they will never tire of pointing out to her which flowers are about to bloom, which flowers have set seeds, which ones have sprouted after grafting, and which ones need to be repotted.

If she deliberately pretended not to be interested, she would angrily come over and kiss her, disturbing her from reading the newspaper...

"These succulents are growing well and slowly starting to form piles," Lin Yue said.

Yao Qingshu came back to his senses in shock, only to realize that the corners of his mouth were curled up in an unreasonable way.Fortunately, it was not found.

Seeing that Lin Yue started to clean up the weeds in the flowerpots after playing with the succulents, she couldn't help remembering that in the morning, Jiang Xin also slipped to the terrace to enjoy the flowers and asked her if it was difficult to raise them.

She replied that the weeds in the pots were difficult to clean up, and they would grow back quickly if they were pulled out.The guy actually laughed at her for being uninterested, and pretended to say a bad love story that he didn't know where he saw it.

——This weed cannot be eradicated, just like my endless longing for you.

At this moment, Yao Qingshu looked at Lin Yue, and his heart throbbed violently.

But...forget it.She couldn't say that.

Lin Yue felt that gaze, and when she turned around, she saw Yao Qingshu who was hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter?" Then she realized that the glass in her hand was still full, and she frowned, "Why is there so much left to drink? It's even harder to drink when it gets cold."

Treated like a child avoiding medication.

The big manager was embarrassed for a moment, and then he seemed to have found some very legitimate reason, and said, "I don't like this smell."

Lin Yue: "Then don't let yourself get sick so easily."

"I also want to be nice to myself." Yao Qingshu lowered his head and pursed his mouth, and looked up, "But there is no one who knows how to feel warm and cold by his side."

Lin Yue's footsteps just stopped, and she met her gaze.

"Do you really need her?"

"What do you think?" Yao Qingshu patted the place next to him slightly annoyed after drinking the medicine, "Come here."

"I'll go and see the soup first."

"It's okay to cook the soup for another 10 minutes." Seeing that she didn't move, she urged again, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yue had no choice but to take off her apron and wash her hands.

"Sit closer."

"..." Well, she didn't care about the patient and moved a little.Then, Yao Qingshu tilted his head and leaned gently on her shoulder.

Lin Yue waited for a long time, "What do you want to say?"

"Lin Yue, do you know why I'm afraid of thunder?"

"Ok?"

"I am afraid of thunder because I have experienced some bad things in thunderstorms."

Lin Yue didn't expect it to start like this.Although she had been looking forward to learning about Yao Qingshu's past, her heart sank when she heard bad things.

"Is that thing scary?"

"Well. But after I tell you, maybe it's not so scary."

Yao Qingshu met Lin Yue's dazed eyes, moved closer, and leaned in front of her.

"It happened shortly after Zhou Qing's father had an accident. I was kidnapped. The person who kidnapped me was Zhou Qing's mother... Because she couldn't accept her husband's death, she lost control of her spirit under the huge trauma and frantically wanted to I pay with my life."

Lin Yue said these words easily, causing Lin Yue's heart to jump, "What?"

Yao Qingshu rubbed against her neck, "I was taken to a very dark room. It rained heavily that night, and the thunder was very loud, and it fell one after another. I called for help desperately, but no one heard , I can only watch her come over and pinch me in despair."

"Maybe death is also a relief. At that time, I had this idea."

Lin Yue unconsciously circled the person in front of her when she heard this, and stroked her neck comfortingly, "You can't think like this."

Yao Qingshu smiled, and continued: "Grandma Zhou brought someone to rescue me and sent me back to Yao's house."

"Zhou Qing's grandma?"

"Ah."

"Not only did she not resent me, but she was also worried that I would be frightened. Later, she often visited me and patiently enlightened me."

Lin Yue somewhat understood why Yao Qingshu treated Zhou Qing's grandma so well, "She is indeed a respectable elder."

"So since then, have you been afraid of thunder?"

Yao Qingshu was silent for a while, and her tone became a little coy, "Actually, I was a little afraid of thunder at first, but I became even more afraid after that. I couldn't get out of its shadow for a long time."

"Whenever I close my eyes on a thunderstorm night, I will think of that stern face whitened by lightning, the crazy shouting and cursing, and the feeling of suffocation on the verge of death."

Lin Yue patted her on the back, but didn't realize that they were hugging each other and wrapped in a blanket, "I...shouldn't have left last night."

Lying in her arms, Yao Qingshu looked up at her when he heard this sentence, his chin pressed against her collarbone, feeling a little itchy.

"Regret?"

Lin Yue dodged back unnaturally: "A little bit."

"Heh..." The big manager refused to let her go.The eyes are shining brightly, where there is still the obscurity and weakness just now.

Lin Yue had no choice but to turn back and look at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"When I looked at you like this before, you would kiss me."

After speaking, the ears of the person in front of him turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yao Qingshu finally laughed out loud, smiling, but buried his head in Lin Yue's arms again.After a long time, he said sullenly: "If you were given a chance to do it all over again, would you still agree to my request for dating?"

"Request? You are obviously requesting."

The big manager pinched her waist under the blanket, "Will you still agree?"

"What do you say?" Lin Yue followed her previous words, but in a gentle and helpless tone.

Yao Qingshu's punishing fingertips stopped, and instead grabbed the corner of the clothes.

Look, Lin Yue is such a person who always protects her and tolerates her so tenderly.Even if she was hurt and angry and wanted to leave, she only needed to resort to tricks, and she couldn't bear to leave it alone.

After all, she must be relying on Lin Yue almost willfully.

Yao Qingshu's eyes suddenly burned, "I'm a failed girlfriend, right? I enjoy the stability and stability you bring me, but it often makes you worry and sad, and makes you feel uneasy."

"Lin Yue, these days I've been thinking about the past and what you said."

"I did hide too much from you, and I lacked communication with you. It's like hiding a dark and damp room in my heart, and I haven't dared to open it to you."

"Because... I don't want to share the pain with you, and I don't want you to know the mistakes I have made, to see my embarrassment and cowardice. I hope that I will always be glamorous in front of you, and will always fascinate you."

"Very self-righteous, right?" Yao Qingshu sniffed, "I always conceited that you would understand me and forgive me, so I let you go so easily. I expected you to come back soon."

Lin Yue listened to her quietly.It took a long time before she backed away, holding her face in her hands, her gentle eyes brushed over the corners of her eyebrows and eyes: "What about now? Now, do you understand what to do?"

"I haven't fully figured it out yet." Yao Qingshu shook his head slowly, "But I will try to tell you more in the future, let you know happy or unhappy things. I will learn to be honest Some, to trust you, to rely on you..."

"The rest, you can teach me slowly, okay." After saying this, he gently covered his cheeks with his hands, interlocking Lin Yue's fingers.

Something seemed to melt in Lin Yue's eyes.Sighing, she pressed her lips between Yao Qingshu's brows, and said in a low voice, "Give me some time."

The person who got the answer curled his mouth, closed his eyes and buried him in her arms again.

"it is good."

Although there were some twists and turns, the two full days of vacation still made Yang Yu relax a lot physically and mentally.It's just that when you return to the company after vacation, you need to face problems.

And compared to that invitation, what was even more troublesome was that she found out that the little secretary was avoiding her.

He must be avoiding her. When he sees her, he turns away from her and walks away. He will avoid her when he meets her eyes during regular meetings.

But who bullied whom? It caused her to end a relationship before it sprouted, and even lost her precious first kiss!

Yes, what does that kiss mean?

Yang Yu stomped on her high heels, thinking of Xiao Shu's teary eyes at that time, made her feel even more irritable.

Finally, he couldn't help but caught the little secretary in the empty corridor.

"Xiaoshu, we should talk,"

"Talk?" Xiao Shu turned her face away from her, "Is it because of what happened that night? Oh, I'm sorry, Manager Yang, I was a little drunk that day, and I accidentally went crazy."

"Drinking mad?" Yang Yu was annoyed by her obviously alienated attitude, but had to recall the feeling at that time again.

Warm and soft, but also, a little sweet.

Have you been drinking?It seems not...

Xiaoshu: "If Manager Yang is free, I'll take the documents to Mr. Yao first."

"Hey wait a minute." Yang Yu held her back, "Well... my mother wants to invite you to my house for dinner."

"what?"

"Uh, it's just an ordinary meal. Well, it's like this... My family just happened to see what happened that day. Since it was a misunderstanding, I want you to explain it to me so that they don't worry all the time. "

"Worried?" Xiaoshu looked at her expressionlessly.

"Well, that's right. My family thought I liked women, and they almost broke up with me haha, how could I." After speaking, he laughed a few times, feeling a little strange, but he couldn't explain what was going on.

"So it's like this..." Xiao Shu lowered her eyes.

Something in my heart went out, leaving a cold gray black.

Ask softly: "When?"

"Then tomorrow is okay? Are you free tomorrow night?" Yang Yu was embarrassed, "I know this is a bit embarrassing for you..."

"Okay." Before she could finish speaking, the person in front of her suddenly laughed.

Sweet as honey.

Jiang Xin: ∑(°△°) Really? !
