warm winter

In order to conceal her sudden stiffness, Ye Qing subconsciously handed over the phone: "Choose what you like to eat."

Yuan Yuan originally only intended to get closer to see the contents of the menu, but he didn't expect Ye Qing to be so generous, it seems that he gave up the sovereign right of choice to himself.

She took the phone with a smile, quickly glanced at the screen, swiped up and down a few times, hesitating whether to speak.

Ye Qing quietly adjusted his breathing beside him, and finally recovered his state.Glancing at Yuan Yuan, seeing that she was completely focused on the phone, she moved away without a trace.

Yuan Yuan seemed very embarrassed, stared at it for a while, bit his lip and said nothing.

"Why, it doesn't suit your taste?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head and sighed softly: "No, I just want to eat something different today."

Ye Qing thought that Yuan Yuan was embarrassed, so he said straightforwardly: "You don't have to order from this restaurant, you can choose whatever you want. I chose this one because it is relatively clean and hygienic and the delivery is fast." Although the taste There is no merit or demerit, but at least there is no flaw, Ye Qing didn't say this.

Yuan Yuan snickered twice, shrugged and skillfully operated on Ye Qing's phone.Unknowingly, Ye Qing distanced herself a little from her, and now she feels embarrassed to move closer.

After a while, Yuan Yuan made her choice, and before she officially placed the order, she happily stretched out her mobile phone in front of Ye Qing, implicitly urging: "Look, do you want to add something?"

It turned out to be a hot pot. Ye Qing saw that Yuan Yuan chose the bottom of the mandarin duck pot, and also selected some combinations of various meatballs that are necessary for hot pot, as well as a portion of fat beef, a portion of fat sheep, and various slippery sauces. Two servings of vegetables.

"Very good." Ye Qing nodded, expressing no objection.

"Do you have any special favorites? For example, pig's brain, yellow throat, etc. But don't order the hairy belly. It's better to eat fresh in the store."

Ye Qing curled his lips when he heard the pig's brain, and Yuan Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression.

After placing the order, it showed that it would take 45 minutes to be delivered. Yuan Yuan returned the phone to Ye Qing and leaned on the sofa to gently rub his stomach.

"Very hungry? Do you want some biscuits?" Ye Qing got up and went to the kitchen to find out her reserves.

"Is there any other choice?" Yuan Yuan followed, standing outside the bar and watching.

Different from the luxurious decoration outside and the exquisite decoration style of the study room, there are several kinds of biscuits, potato chips, and cup noodles in different packages in the cabinet.

"You usually eat these at home?" Yuan Yuan frowned secretly, and suddenly remembered that Aunt Liu said she was not nutritious when she wanted to eat instant noodles occasionally.

"Sometimes it's more convenient and time-saving to catch up on manuscripts." Ye Qing generously stood aside, not minding Yuan Yuan seeing all of her reserves.

"But you always eat these, it's not good for your health." Yuan Yuan didn't step forward, she lay on the bar, kicked her legs, and said quite casually: "No wonder you look so thin, just like a bamboo pole." Like."

Ye Qing's thinness was not caused by deliberate starvation. She has been a clothes hanger figure since she was a child, but the skinny feeling has become more prominent due to work in the past two years.

But she didn't argue, and pointed to the things in the cabinet with a smile, and asked, "Didn't you like it?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head: "Don't eat, or I won't be able to eat the hot pot later."

Ye Qing didn't force it, and gently closed the cabinet.Suddenly came a low persuasion from behind: "You should eat less in the future, it's really bad for your health."

Probably Yuan Yuan's persuasion was so sincere that Ye Qing's hand on the cabinet door trembled.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

**

The hot pot is delivered by a domestic chain store known for its meticulous and thoughtful service. All the ingredients are intact after delivery, even the rubber bands for hair.Yuan Yuan was used to this, but Ye Qing occasionally showed unexpected feelings.

Yuan Yuan thought, probably Ye Qing hadn't tried eating hot pot alone at home.

After thinking about it, she thought again, eating hot pot alone is really boring, no matter if you go to the store or at home.

For some reason, after staying at Ye Qing's house for a long time, Yuan Yuan already felt the desolation and loneliness everywhere in this room.Only that study room was a little popular, but it was still not as good as Yuan's.

The steaming hot pot instantly filled the high-end apartment with fireworks, and Yuan Yuan's hunger was finally relieved after swallowing several mouthfuls of beef one after another.She and Ye Qing sat opposite each other, there was white heat between them, but they couldn't hide the smiles at the corners of each other's mouths.

The atmosphere became more relaxed, and Yuan Yuan couldn't help sighing, eating hot pot is indeed the easiest way to draw closer.

"Did you like to eat hot pot when you were abroad?"

"Occasionally I go out to eat with friends. But it's not like this, it's an independent small hot pot, sharing meals."

"Oh, I've eaten." Yuan Yuan recalled how many times he had eaten after skiing in Europe, and always felt that something was missing.

"But it's more hygienic." Yuan Yuan paid great attention to using serving chopsticks, but belatedly worried that Ye Qing might not be used to eating hot pot in China.

"But it also lacks excitement." Ye Qing seems to prefer this primitive way of eating, but she prefers meatballs and doesn't eat much meat.

Yuan Yuan bit her chopsticks, thinking about when to make a request, this is the purpose of her proactive visit today.After procrastinating for a long time, I'm afraid there will be no chance if I don't talk about it.

I don't know what my father told Ye Qing at the beginning, Ye Qing didn't seem to have any intention of urging or observing her.Yuan Yuan couldn't see the truth from Ye Qing's face, so he couldn't help becoming nervous.

"You're full so soon?" Seeing that Yuan Yuan suddenly slowed down and forgot to scoop up the beef in the pot, Ye Qing helped her put it into a bowl with serving chopsticks.

"Ahem, actually I came today because I have something to ask for your help." Yuan Yuan stared down at the meat in the bowl for a while, then slowly raised his head.

A slight smile flashed across Ye Qing's eyes, but it was well concealed by the heat, and Yuan Yuan didn't notice it.

"What is it?"

"I don't want to go to America for high school, but Dad doesn't agree. So, so..."

When Yuan Yuan said this, he was taken aback, only to realize that he had forgotten all the speeches he had prepared in advance.

"So you want me to tell your dad for you?"

Yuan Yuan didn't know whether to praise Ye Qing's cleverness or blame her for being too smart, but it did save her from the embarrassment of continuing to talk.

Ye Qing was not in a hurry to give an answer, but instead asked her: "Can you tell me why you don't want to study abroad?"

"I don't think it's necessary. In fact, Haicheng also has very good international middle schools. There is no need to go to the United States, and I don't like the United States." Yuan Yuan answered smoothly, without any hesitation, as if from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Qing looked at her seriously, with a very calm expression on his face.

"I suppose you've told your father that too. But he didn't take it, did he?"

Yuan Yuan couldn't help but nodded dejectedly, thinking of this scene still made her uncomfortable.

"So unless you tell me a more real reason, I can't help you. In the same way, your father will not accept it just because the person who said it is different."

Yuan Yuan's expression froze, and he endured for a while and said firmly, "This is my real reason."

"Then I really can't help you, sorry."

Ye Qing smiled helplessly, looking helpless.

Yuan Yuan imagined that Ye Qing would refuse, she thought she would be angry or irritable, and even secretly hated him.But at this moment, she felt a trace of loss from Ye Qing's smile.

Does this loss come from my refusal to tell her the truth or is it because she is sad because she can't help me?No matter what it was, Yuan Yuan felt uncomfortable in her heart, she was not angry at all, and even began to hesitate, whether she should tell Ye Qing what was in her heart.

But how do you say such a thing?Tell her that because I don't want her to develop a good and stable relationship with her father, and I don't want her to be favored and recognized by her grandma, so I want to stay in Haicheng and become a "human wall", destroying and destroying everything everywhere. ? ?

Or... Yuan Yuan continued to think, but suddenly stopped.

She shook her head secretly, reminding herself that she couldn't think any more.After thinking about it, she might really be inseparable.

Ye Qing is a good listener, she never rushes her customers to make a hasty decision.But she also doesn't let herself lose herself in the waiting process, denying herself because of the customer's decision.

"I guessed it a long time ago, it's nothing." Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and showed a polite smile.

This kind of smile is alienated, hiding the obvious disappointment in the corners of Yuan Yuan's eyes and brows.Ye Qing couldn't help sighing, this child couldn't hide his thoughts at all, presumably because the environment he grew up in was too simple.

Children who are too well protected will always have an extraordinarily happy time, carefree and doing whatever they want.The purest heart can be cared and preserved to the greatest extent, Ye Qing knows how precious this purity is.

But experience told her how much it takes to maintain such purity. If the guardian is not strong enough, then such a child will suffer a more severe blow than others when faced with a cruel environment in the future.

Fortunately, the background of the Yuan family was strong enough, and Ye Qing found that his thinking had diverged again.After regaining her senses, she couldn't help but look at Yuan Yuan a few more times. The purity of this child is rare, and every time she gets close to it, she will feel sincerely moved.

This is the true beauty, it has nothing to do with appearance or verbal communication, as long as this person stands in front of her, she can attract Ye Qing.

Yuan Yuan is not a person who likes to stalk and stalk, and he probably never suffered rejection a few times since he was a child.Although Ye Qing encountered obstacles many times, she would not make the same request repeatedly, and they quietly ate up all the dishes in the following time.

Probably because the hot pot meal was too satisfying, Yuan Yuan, who was warm all over, forgot to take her scarf when she left.But before leaving, she added Ye Weiwei's letter.

Although Yuan Honghao verbally said that he would fully respect Ye Qing's opinion, he personally sent his daughter here. If he was still rejected in the end, Ye Qing knew that the future cooperation between her and Yuan Honghao would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

There are many people in WeChat who don't talk much after adding it. When Yuan Yuan's profile picture appeared, Ye Qing was a little surprised.

Probably because she didn't expect the child to come to her so soon, she picked up the phone and took a closer look, then she returned from the study to the living room.

Yuan Yuan said: "Oops, my scarf seems to have been left in your living room."

Ye Qing quickly replied to her: "Don't worry, the scarf is safe."

Then she took a photo and sent it. Yuan Yuan's scarf was neatly lying on the armrest of the sofa.

"Then please keep it for me, and I will get it next time."

Yuan Yuan originally wanted to ask her father to hand it over, but when she sent the message, she decided to take it by herself.

Ye Qingben also wanted to say, let Yuan Honghao take it back next time.Then he remembered that Yuan Honghao was going on a business trip tomorrow, and Yuan Honghao never went upstairs every time he sent her home, so it was better for Yuan Yuan to come here by himself.

So Ye Qing replied quickly: "Okay, see you next time."
