warm winter

Zhuang Yi told Yuan Yuan that Ye Qing had been spending less time in the studio recently because he was walking around with Jiang Zhilan.These are Zhuang Yi's original words, but the message repeatedly rolling in Yuan Yuan's mind is: Ye Qing is accompanying Jiang Zhilan.

Suddenly very sad.

After school at noon, the students took out their own food boxes one after another, gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing for lunch.Yuan Yuan sat in the corner with his lunch box in his hands, depressed and had no appetite.

"Yuan Yuan, why don't you eat?" Xu Bufan, who was sitting at Yuan Yuan's back table, sat down with a lunch box.

"I'm thinking about something." Yuan Yuan's voice was weak.

"What makes you unable to even eat. Do you have something on your mind? I think you have been absent-minded in class all morning."

Yuan Yuan didn't know how Xu Bufan who was sitting in the back saw her distracted in class, but she couldn't deny that she was right.

Yuan Yuan has always been in a trance these days, and often misses during class.

Seeing that Yuan Yuan didn't answer, Xu Bufan just pressed his lower lip tightly, his eyes dull.This state was completely different from usual, she was so nervous when she saw it, she didn't dare to make a big joke.

"Did you break up in love?" Xu Bufan asked her in a low voice, which shocked Yuan Yuan.

"Drink! What are you talking about!"

Seeing Yuan Yuan's reaction, Xu Bufan tried his best to deny it on the surface, but his eyes clearly said: How did you know? !

"Don't be nervous, I won't tell the teacher, nor will I tell other students."

Linton International High School forbids communication between school students, and the school is very strict about this kind of thing.But this does not prevent young people in the blooming season from having a good impression in private. Even if there is no formal relationship, there are actually a lot of ambiguities in the open and in the dark.

"I don't even have a partner, so how could I be broken in love. Don't guess, lest I have to explain it hard if someone hears it." Yuan Yuan curled her lips, she is obviously a pitiful single dog, okay?

Single, thinking that Ye Qing is walking with Jiang Zhilan in the streets of Haicheng at this time, wondering if he will go to the cafe on Ninghai Road that they often go to.

When I think of this, my heart feels like being pricked by a needle, it hurts so much!

Xu Bufan watched Yuan Yuan's changes seriously, and he was sure of it without asking.

"Not having a partner doesn't mean you won't be broken in love. Secret love is also a kind of love."

Xu Bufan's words completely shattered Yuan Yuan's disguise.She looked at this classmate with difficulty, and finally lost her battle.

"If secret love counts, then I am indeed about to lose love."

In the past few days, apart from missing Ye Qing, Yuan Yuan has also seriously thought about their relationship.After thinking about it, she couldn't see the possibility of development. She even worried that if she showed too obvious, it would make the current relationship awkward.

"Can you tell me, who is your crush? Is it from our class or the class next door?"

Yuan Yuan shook her head: "Neither. She is not from our school."

Xu Bufan was a little surprised, there were not many people in the school who did not show affection to Yuan Yuan.Especially with Yuan Yuan's appearance and background, many people are coveting her.

Yuan Yuan's heart is getting heavier and heavier, she can't tell anyone this secret, even Xin He dare not tell it.On the contrary, Xu Bufan, who was not very familiar with her, became the best confidant at this time. She didn't need to go into too much detail, she just needed someone who could let her speak out.

Xu Bufan stroked his chin and thought seriously: "Cross-school love is often difficult, but there are not no successful examples. Don't be too pessimistic. If you really like it, you can still try hard."

Yuan Yuan was amused by her pretending to be sophisticated: "You speak as if you are very experienced."

"I don't have it myself, but my parents are studying these every day, so I can't understand it?"

Students who can enter Linton International High School have unusual family backgrounds.They are either wealthy businessmen or official families, and the other part are foreigners or social celebrities, such as celebrities or experts in a certain field.

Yuan Yuan vaguely remembered that Xu Bufan said that her parents were professionals in the field of emotion research and had published many research papers in this area.

"I almost forgot, you are still a little emotional expert."

"Hey, so if you have any emotional troubles, you can come and ask me. I will solve your troubles for free, and it will be absolutely confidential."

Xu Bufan patted his chest in reassurance.Yuan Yuan doesn't care if she can solve the messy emotions in her heart, but it's great to have someone to talk to at this time.

"It's impossible for me to talk to her. In fact, I only found out a few days ago that I fell in love with her."

Yuan Yuan's tone was full of loneliness and sentimentality. The young girl in the blooming season encountered a sad rainy season when her love first opened.

"You are rarely so pessimistic. Does the person you like have a special status?"

Xu Bufan was indeed a person who had seen many cases, and he roughly guessed some from Yuan Yuan's expression and reaction.

It is very likely that they are not of the same age, or they are not ordinary objects that can be associated with.Otherwise, Yuan Yuan, who likes to laugh and is easy-going, wouldn't be so sad.

Yuan Yuan's lips were pursed tightly, and even his brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Actually, if the age gap is relatively large, or if the social status is relatively poor, it may not be impossible. The key still depends on the attitude of the other party. It doesn't matter if one person talks about feelings."

Yuan Yuan really listened this time. There are indeed many obstacles between her and Ye Qing. It seems that there are many difficulties, but what if Ye Qing also has such thoughts?Wouldn't it be easier for two people to meet each other than her unilateral pursuit?

The answer was obvious, but Yuan Yuan soon realized that she was daydreaming.

Not to mention that Ye Qing is 12 years older than her, they are still the same gender, and they are not recognized by the mainstream of society at all.Ye Qing has a famous career, but she is still a high school student. What frustrates her the most is that Ye Qing is still her father's fiancee.

She was about to forget this point, the joy of getting along with Ye Qing had already diluted her resistance and disgust for this identity.She has been unwilling to accept this identity. She didn't know the reason before, but now she understands.

Because she likes Ye Qing, she cannot accept that Ye Qing is someone else's fiancee.Neither can anyone, including my own father.

Seeing the gloomy look in Yuan Yuan's eyes, Xu Bufan thought that he probably hit the spot.

I was very surprised in my heart, I didn't expect Yuan Yuan's favorite person to have such a big gap with her.

"If you want to talk to someone, you can always find me."

The topic of probing stopped here, and Xu Bufan could feel that Yuan Yuan had no intention of confessing to her.Pressing the question further will not only prompt Yuan Yuan to strengthen his defense, but also may inadvertently learn the other party's privacy before Yuan Yuan thinks it through.

Yuan Yuan looked at her gratefully: "Thank you."

Before the end of the lunch break, Yuan Yuan stuffed a few mouthfuls of sandwiches in a hurry, and didn't even eat any flavors.In the afternoon physical education class, she didn't have much energy, but she felt bored and uncomfortable, so she ran round and round in one breath, which was better than sitting and thinking wildly.

Ye Qing, what should I do to make my heart not so sad?

Let it go, or, as Xu Bufan said, try hard?

**

Ye Qing took Jiang Zhilan to many places, but Jiang Zhilan insisted on taking her to the cafe on Ninghai Road.

He also overheard Ye Qing mentioning it, so Jiang Zhilan insisted on asking.Then let her know that Yuan Yuan and Ye Qing both like to come here.So, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Jiang Zhilan wanted to experience it.

In the afternoon of weekdays, the sun is warm and autumn leaves are everywhere, which is the taste of late autumn.

The cafe was quiet as usual, there were only three or four tables of customers, Jiang Zhilan nodded in satisfaction.

"It's really nice here, with a great atmosphere."

It's no wonder you come here often, and it's no wonder you're getting more and more ambiguous.

After staying in such an environment for a long time, it is strange not to be ambiguous.

Probably because she has been in the United States for a long time, even though she spends most of her time in the laboratory, Jiang Zhilan is used to the fact that two women are in love.

So what she was struggling with was not the gender issue between Ye Qing and Yuan Yuan, but their age gap and their relationship with Yuan Honghao.

"Have you decided what snacks you want?"

Ye Qing originally thought that Jiang Zhilan would order food according to the taste she was used to, but who knew that she was acting abnormal again and again, saying that she would try something different when she came to Haicheng.In the end, after reading it for a long time, Ye Qing didn't make a decision, so Ye Qing couldn't help urging her.

"Everything looks delicious. It's really hard to choose. By the way, when you come here with Yuan Yuan, what do you usually order?"

Ye Qing pointed to the plate in front of her, meaning, I haven't changed, can't you see?

Jiang Zhilan didn't give up, as if nothing had happened: "Oh, you have always been so rigid, I don't want to eat the same as you. Which one does Yuan Yuan like, cheese or matcha cake?"

"She likes brownies." Ye Qing gave the answer easily.

It's like talking about your own taste, knowing and being sure.

Jiang Zhilan beckoned and ordered a brownie, then stared at Ye Qingxiao.

"I have been clamoring to lose weight, and I dare to eat brownies."

"Ye Qing, don't deliberately avoid the topic. Don't you want to ask me why I order something with the same taste as Yuan Yuan?"

Ye Qing glanced out of the window and said softly, "I don't want to know."

"Actually, you already know."

Ye Qing sighed softly, Jiang Zhilan's investigations these days, she thought it was insignificant, but how could she really not notice it.

They both knew each other too well, she knew exactly what Jiang Zhilan wanted to find out.And what her reaction explained, Jiang Zhilan naturally knew.

"Ye Qing, if someone can make you happy and stay with you all the time, then I will raise my hands a hundred times to express my approval and encouragement. But Yuan Yuan is not the right person for you."

The brownies were delivered, and Jiang Zhilan dug a small piece into his mouth, it tasted really good.

But what she said was not delicious at all.

Ye Qing frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have said many times that I treat Yuan Yuan just like any other friend."

"Are you really like other friends? Ye Qing, when did you learn to deceive yourself? You treat her more than you treat me, don't you realize it?"

Ye Qing was still looking out of the window, the fallen leaves were always covering the roadside path.Last time Yuan Yuan was still sighing, such a beautiful scenery.

Jiang Zhilan's words may be right.She reminded Ye Qing that getting along with Yuan Yuan these days was something she and other friends had never experienced before.

And the happiness she feels from it is something that cannot be obtained from others.

Yuan Yuan, make her happy.

But what is the reason for such happiness?Ye Qing fell into deep thought again, Jiang Zhilan's words forced her to think seriously, and then she gave an answer that could perfectly hit her back.
