warm winter

After Zhuang Yi left, only Ye Qing and Yuan Yuan were left in the studio.Usually, they often do this, and they don't feel embarrassed.Usually Ye Qing continues to draw the design draft, Yuan Yuan finds a book to read or takes out homework by himself, and shares a desk with Ye Qing.

After get off work, they would eat nearby, and then Yuan Yuan sent Ye Qing home.

Mrs. Yuan did not object to their way of getting along, and even approved of it.Aunt Liu told Yuan Yuan that since she found out that it was Ye Qing who persuaded Yuan Honghao to let her stay in Haicheng to study in high school, the old lady's acceptance of Ye Qing has increased.

Yuan Honghao was on business trips all year round, and the old lady was too old to go out with Yuan Yuan often.The generation gap between Aunt Liu and her is not small, and the Yuan family all hope that Ye Qing can accompany Yuan Yuan more for them.

But today Ye Qing was obviously not in the mood, staring at the drawing for a long time and unable to write, he simply browsed the news online.Yuan Yuan is very serious. School is over early today, but homework still needs to be completed in time.Because she has other things to do this weekend, she can't be held back by homework.

Ye Qing browsed the news page aimlessly, when the WeChat login on the computer suddenly notified that a new news had been received.

Opened it and saw that it was from Jiang Zhilan.

"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?"

"Just came out of the lab, my back is sore and my eyes are going to be blurry. I'm getting old." By the way, I also posted a picture of Meng, male shedding tears.jpg.

Ye Qing was speechless, and replied to her: "Then don't hurry up and go back to rest. Knowing that you are old and staying up all night, if you continue like this, you will age faster."

"It's not because of you!" Jiang Zhilan quickly replied with an emoji, with the words heartless written on it.

Ye Qing was puzzled: "Because of me?"

This time, Jiang Zhilan didn't reply after waiting for a long time, Ye Qing thought she had arrived home, so she stopped bothering her.

Jiang Zhilan was famous for being able to fall asleep right away, but she couldn't wake her up halfway, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to fall asleep again.

Ye Qing turned off the WeChat interface, only to realize that Yuan Yuan was looking at her.

"Are you chatting with someone?"

Yuan Yuan has finished her homework, and she has neatly folded her homework and textbooks together, waiting to put them back in her schoolbag.

Ye Qing was thinking about how to answer Yuan Yuan's question.It was obviously a calm tone and a simple question, but Ye Qing still thought carefully before answering.

"I met my good friend online and chatted for a while. She is in the United States."

"Oh." Yuan Yuan thought for a while and then said, "She woke up so early."

Xinhe is also in the United States. She knows that Xinhe is still sleeping at this time, so they never send messages at this time.

Although Ye Qing didn't say whether her good friend is in the East or West of the United States, Yuan Yuan immediately thought of Jian Xinhe.

"That's what I thought just now, and then she told me that I just finished working all night and now I'm going back to catch up on sleep."

"Your friend is too hardworking!"

Yuan Yuan heard from Zhuang Yi that Ye Qing was also a desperate type when working.Sometimes they stay up all night in the studio in order to catch up with the draft.When encountering a bottleneck or a difficult problem, it lasted for several days.

All the elders in Zhuang Yi were tortured beyond measure, but Ye Qing didn't say anything about the pain.Instead, he did not forget to thank him after finishing the work, saying that he had worked hard.This made Zhuang Yi have to admire Ye Qing from the bottom of his heart, and was more willing to fight with her.

Yuan Yuan pursed his lips, and advised carefully: "You don't want to be like your friends, staying up late is not good for your health. Although you are still young, you can't be too extravagant."

It sounded like Aunt Liu's tone, compared to Jiang Zhilan's repeated statement that she was old, Ye Qing actually found it quite interesting.

"I rarely stay up late."

You obviously have it, but you still refuse to admit it, hum!

Yuan Yuan didn't dare to tell her, otherwise she would betray Zhuang Yi, and no one would tell her about Ye Qing in the future.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Qing turned off the computer and started packing.

"Have you thought about what to eat tonight?"

"I can do it, you decide."

Ye Qing put the notebook into the bag, went to the corner to get the windbreaker.

Yuan Yuan tidied up her schoolbag and stood where she was.Seeing Ye Qing wearing a windbreaker, I couldn't help reminding her: "In the future, no matter how anxious you go out, remember to wear a coat. It's easy to catch a cold when the weather is cold."

Ye Qing tidied up her windbreaker and nodded in agreement.

In fact, she did regret it when she went out today, she should have put on the windbreaker before going out.In just over ten minutes, she was already shivering with cold.

I ended up going to a Japanese grocery store for dinner, a small izakaya.

The environment is quiet, neither Yuan Yuan nor Ye Qing like noisy people.This kind of exquisite small shop is the most appetizing to them, so every time they come out of the studio, they will choose a small shop.

When he was about to finish eating, Yuan Yuan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

After holding back all afternoon, I can finally speak.

"Ye Qing, do you have any plans for this Sunday?"

"I am fine."

"Then can you spare me some time?"

Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, just now when Yuan Yuan asked her about her Sunday arrangements, she froze slightly.

This Sunday is her birthday.

Although she didn't intend to celebrate deliberately, but Yuan Yuan mentioned it suddenly, and she had to think, did Yuan Yuan also know that it was her birthday that day.

"I just want to treat you to a meal." Seeing that Ye Qing didn't reply immediately, Yuan Yuan thought it was a misunderstanding of what she just said.

In retrospect, it sounds like it was a little ambiguous.

Seeing Yuan Yuan's nervous and apprehensive expression shining brightly on his face, Ye Qing couldn't help laughing.

"Haven't you already eaten tonight, why do you want to eat again the day after tomorrow?"

Is this frequency a bit too high?Ye Qing needs a reason to convince himself to agree.

"The day after tomorrow is your birthday, so I want to treat you to a different meal." Yuan Yuan rubbed her hands nervously under the table, but she still did it.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's been a long time since my birthday. It's not a special day. It would be nice if you said happy birthday to me on that day."

"How can it be, birthday is a very important day."

Although Yuan Yuan was nervous, she was extremely serious when she said this.He was so serious that he even temporarily forgot the nervousness when he sent out the invitation just now, but Ye Qing was a little moved.

"Thank you, Yuan Yuan, for being so caring."

Ye Qing didn't know where Yuan Yuan found out about her birthday, but in the second year she spent in Haicheng, she didn't expect anyone to celebrate her birthday.After all, here, there are no people close to her, and no one who really cares about her.

Now, is Yuan Yuan the first person in Haicheng who really cares about herself?

Ye Qing seemed to want to let go, but she still couldn't convince herself completely.

Although she does not admit her seniority relationship with Yuan Yuan, she is an elder and an adult after all.Even if he lived alone in Haicheng, he shouldn't let an underage child pay so much for himself.

Seeing Ye Qing's expression of wanting to refuse, although Yuan Yuan was sad, he was still fighting hard.

"Father is not in Haicheng, and grandma also told me to let me walk with you more when I have time. When I met you last year, your birthday had already passed. So this is the first time this year, and I don't want you to be alone. "

Probably Yuan Yuan's sincerity moved her, Ye Qing nodded.

She thought, she really didn't want to spend her birthday in Haicheng alone.

She turns 27 this year, one step closer to the so-called 30-year-old mark for women.Although her anxiety about age is not as strong as that of her peers, she still feels a little sad when she thinks of the time passing by faster and faster.

After a vigorous age, the rest of the peaceful time is probably spent in endless repetition.

At the age of 17, Ye Qing took the birthday cake from his mother for the last time. It was very sweet, soft and delicious.

At the age of 23, Ye Qing believed for the first time in the eternal promise promised by others, but it didn't take long before reality slapped her hard.

When I wake up from the dream, the memory will be scattered.

Ye Qing once thought that she would never celebrate her birthday again.

What birthday brought her was instant happiness, but what remained after that was more sadness.

**

Early on Sunday morning, Yuan Yuan rang the doorbell of Ye Qing's house.She rarely comes to this apartment, most of the time she prefers to go to the studio to find Ye Qing.

There are traces of their struggle together, although it was just a simple painting of the wall.But there are graffiti walls there, and there are special memories and connections that belong to them.

"Didn't wake you up." Yuan Yuan walked in with a smile.

I had already greeted Ye Qing last night, but when I actually came up, I was still worried about disturbing Ye Qing's rest.

Ye Qing was wearing home clothes, with a relaxed expression.But the hair was clearly done and not messy.Plate up at will, don't have a style.

The bodyguard behind Yuan Yuan followed her instructions, put several bags of ingredients into the kitchen, and left respectfully.

"You are..." Ye Qing wondered, didn't Yuan Yuan come to wait for him to pack up and go out together?

Although she didn't understand why Yuan Yuan came to the door before ten o'clock when he wanted to invite her to dinner, it was common for them to have breakfast together. Maybe the birthday meal Yuan Yuan mentioned was a branch?

"Didn't I say that I would treat you to dinner and celebrate your birthday? If I don't come here sooner, I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

Ye Qing followed Yuan Yuan into the kitchen, watching her pick up the apron hanging behind the door and hang it on her body.

Only then did she realize that Yuan Yuan wanted to cook her a meal at home.

"can you cook?"

It has been almost a year since she returned to Haicheng, and she was so busy with work that she just wanted to rest quickly when she got home, and she didn't even bother to move.Fortunately, Haicheng has a well-developed catering industry, and there are delicacies from all corners of the country. Ye Qing has already completely relied on takeaway software.

Yuan Yuan fastened the apron, walked to the side of the pool and began to process the freshly purchased ingredients.

"I didn't know much about it before, but I learned a little recently."

Ye Qing walked to her side and saw that her movements were not proficient, but she did not hesitate or retreat, but this mechanical movement seemed to be repeating the contents of the textbook.

"Let me do it with you." Ye Qing rolled up his sleeves and prepared to join.

Yuan Yuan quickly raised his hand to block it, and muttered in his mouth: "No, no, there is no reason for Shou Xing to do it himself. It is agreed that I will treat you to dinner. How can I make you hard."

After speaking, I was afraid that Ye Qing would not listen, so I added: "You can't take your words for granted."

Ye Qing had no choice but to obey her and no longer interfere.But she didn't follow Yuan Yuan's arrangement to go out to watch TV, so she leaned against the bar to accompany Yuan Yuan.

How could she let a child be busy in the kitchen preparing her birthday meal while she sat down in front of the TV with peace of mind.No matter how wonderful the show was, it couldn't compare to Yuan Yuan's seriousness about washing vegetables.

Ye Qing thought, it had been a long time since she had any anticipation on her birthday.

And this day, it seems that because of Yuan Yuan's arrival, it appeared again.
