warm winter

When saying this, Yuan Yuan kept looking at Ye Qing.Although she didn't dare to expect Ye Qing to respond, the reason she wanted to stay was of course Ye Qing.Once a young man's mind is awakened, he can't hide it at all.

Jiang Zhilan sighed secretly in her heart.It's not that she didn't see Yuan Yuan's sincere face and eager eyes, but she only got Ye Qing's light smile.It seemed that those words just now had nothing to do with her, and she was just an ordinary listener.

This was Ye Qing's response, and Yuan Yuan felt sad.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of eating, she lowered her head and allowed herself to be sad for a while.When the meat in the bowl was gone, she returned to her normal look.Jiang Zhilan was taken aback, she was still sighing before, this child is destined to be sad for a while.She didn't expect Yuan Yuan's self-regulation ability to surprise her, as expected of a child raised by a family like the Yuan family.

Ye Qing had something on his mind, so he was absent-minded all night.She could feel Yuan Yuan's gaze on the other side of the table from time to time, but she pretended not to be aware of it, or even if they looked at each other, they quickly staggered away, just thinking it was an unconscious collision.

The accident in Yuan Yuan's eyes puzzled Ye Qing but she didn't miss it, so the self-blame in her heart aggravated.What Jiang Zhilan said was right, it doesn't matter if others misunderstand, if Yuan Yuan misunderstood, then she has committed a serious crime.

Yuan Yuan looked at her so frequently that she could clearly feel it even if she deliberately avoided it.If it was normal, maybe she had already responded to it, which is why today it seems so abnormal.

The more Yuan Yuan was puzzled, the more Ye Qing blamed himself.

She shouldn't treat a minor child in an adult way, Yuan Yuan is still young after all, but as an adult, she didn't pay attention to keeping distance and scale.Adolescent children are inherently sensitive and suspicious. Yuan Yuan's resistance and disgust towards her were so obvious at first, and then his attitude gradually changed, until now it has become close.

Or, it was Jiang Zhilan who was too reserved to say it directly, I like it.

Even if Yuan Yuan doesn't like her in that way now, at least she is beyond the closeness of ordinary friends, even more than Jian Xinhe.Ye Qing didn't think about this in the past, but now after careful comparison, he realized that there is a difference.

If you don't stop it in time and let such unclear boundaries continue to develop, Ye Qing can't guarantee that Yuan Yuan won't misunderstand anything.

Yuan Yuan is still young and has no experience in interacting with people, so she doesn't understand.But myself, as an adult 12 years older than her, who has experienced so many dark and dirty moments, don't I still understand these?

Ye Qing, it's you who indulged, you deliberately avoided, unwilling to face up to such a possibility, and blindly immersed in the pure beauty brought by Yuan Yuan.She is greedy for Yuan Yuan's beauty, but dare not admit that it may lead Yuan Yuan into the abyss.

The more she thought about it, the more her heart sank. Ye Qing joined Jiang Zhilan's conversation with Yuan Yuan unintentionally, only a vague background sound remained in her ears.She roughly heard Jiang Zhilan introducing some American schools to Yuan Yuan, and occasionally heard the names of Jian's siblings.

Just when I was upset, there were more vegetables in the bowl.Ye Qinggang wanted to raise her head and say, "Zhilan, I'm full."

But it happened to meet Yuan Yuan's smiling face, which was still so bright, and there was concern and a trace of care in his eyes, which was cautious.

"You haven't eaten much. I guess it may be because you feel tired of eating meat. Eat some green vegetables, which will relieve the greasy and nutritious."

This is what Ye Qing once said to Yuan Yuan, because at that time he found that Yuan Yuan didn't like vegetables very much every time he ate hot pot.So she would put the vegetables in her bowl, half coaxing and half frightened.Of course, the only thing that can scare Yuan Yuan is that if he doesn't eat vegetables, he won't grow taller.

Later, Yuan Yuan had developed a habit, eating hot pot would not be perfect without ordering vegetables.

Habits are a terrible thing.It makes all the seemingly impossible things possible,

The cold words in Ye Qing's mouth could not be uttered, and Yuan Yuan in front of him was careful and restrained but full of concern.Maybe even Jiang Zhilan didn't notice it, but Yuan Yuan thought of it.Ye Qing didn't want to hurt Yuan Yuan with wrong expressions, this child did nothing wrong.

"Eat some too, don't patronize me."

The corners of Yuan Yuan's slightly tensed mouth slowly relaxed, and then curled up.

Although she didn't know why, she always felt that Ye Qing was indifferent to her all night, even on purpose.But she still couldn't help wanting to get close to her. She used to think it was a habit, but now she realized that it was actually instinct.

Because I like her, I can't help but want to be with her, care about her, and want her to be nice to me.

Yuan Yuan secretly thought in her heart, her heart, which had been ups and downs all night, finally settled down when Ye Qing picked up a chopstick of vegetables for her.

After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Ye Qing politely rejected Yuan Yuan and sent them home.

Yuan Yuan didn't expect that even this would be rejected. Usually, after eating out with Ye Qing and sending her home, this is nothing more than natural.She bit her lip and stood at the gate of Xiaozhuang, as if waiting for Ye Qing to change her mind.

But she waited for a few minutes, but Ye Qing did not speak again.The driver had already driven the car over, and a gust of cold wind blew by, pouring a slight chill into Yuan Yuan's empty neck.

Ye Qing couldn't bear it, walked around Jiang Zhilan and walked in front of Yuan Yuan.Reaching out to fasten her woolen coat, he urged her: "Hurry up and get in the car, the temperature outside is low now, and you will catch cold if you stand for a long time."

Yuan Yuan did not obey, and asked her instead: "What about you? You are so late and won't let me take you back. Do you have other arrangements or do you like to walk back slowly in the cold wind?"

Ye easily opened his hand and took a step back.

Yuan Yuan was aware of his willfulness, but since he asked the words, it meant that he was thinking in his heart.She really wanted to know why Ye Qing didn't let her take them home.

Seeing that the two were about to fall into a stalemate again, Jiang Zhilan chuckled twice, and explained to Yuan Yuan: "Actually, I wanted to experience the night scene and night life of Haicheng, so I took Ye Qing to accompany me. She knows you There is still class tomorrow, so I don't want to waste your time."

"I can also..." To accompany you on the Chehe River.

Before Yuan Yuan finished speaking, Ye Qing's indifferent voice came: "Go back to rest early, study is more important."

I raised my hand to look at my watch. It was indeed not too early. Now that I go back, it will be more than eight o'clock when I get home.If it wasn't for the bodyguards and driver accompanying her, the Yuan family would not have allowed her to stay outside until now.But no matter how much grandma loves her, she won't allow her to go back too late.If you go home after the time, you will be fined. Yuan Yuan has always been sensible and doesn't want to worry Grandma and Aunt Liu.

It's okay for her to be punished, but she doesn't want Ye Qing to be implicated by herself and ruin her impression in grandma's heart.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Hearing what she said, Ye Qing unconsciously clenched and loosened his hands in the coat.

Then I heard Yuan Yuan say: "Don't play too late. It's cold outside at night, and it's not safe enough. Also, don't drink."

Ye Qing saw the worry in Yuan Yuan's eyes, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Seeing Yuan Yuan turn his head three times at a step, he reluctantly went to Bentley and left.Jiang Zhilan took a step forward and stood beside Ye Qing.

"Ye Qing, this child has you in his heart."

There is almost no need to verify or test, Yuan Yuan's performance is too obvious, full of enthusiasm and sincerity, all revealed without concealment.But anyone with a heart will be moved.

Ye Qing fixedly watched the car go away, and did not look away until the taillights were gone.

"I'm going to put everything on hold before it gets worse before it's too late."

His tone was as cold and calm as before.

But Jiang Zhilan could hear a trace of loneliness.And she began to feel sorry for her friend, knowing that this kind of relationship cannot happen, so she hoped that Ye Qing would be sober.But when Ye Qing really woke up, she felt emotional about the situation of these two people.

"Ye Qing, I'm sorry. If it weren't for what I said today, the relationship between you and Yuan Yuan might not have become like this."

Ye Qing comforted her instead: "I am a fan of the authorities, and I would also like to thank you as a bystander. If you didn't wake me up, I would probably continue to indulge my selfishness and only care about enjoying the inspiration and care that Yuan Yuan brought to me. I didn't even think about what the consequences would be for her."

In the depths of the night, apart from the icy cold wind, there was something Ye Qing had to admit.

"In the end, I'm too selfish."

Jiang Zhilan sighed, and gently held her friend's hand, trying to pass on her strength.

As soon as he touched Ye Qing's fingertips, Jiang Zhilan exclaimed: "My God, why are your hands so cold!"

Although the weather is cold, it is not so cold!The temperature in Ye Qing's hand is like ice.

**

After Yuan Yuan arrived home, he was puzzled by Ye Qing's performance today.She turned on her phone, rummaged through her WeChat contacts, and stopped on Jian Xinhe's profile picture for a long time, but she never sent a word.

She is used to talking to Jian Xinhe when she has something on her mind, and later she has Ye Qing, she will also tell her some things she encountered in school or what she feels embarrassed to say to others.

However, Jian Xin and Ye Qing are not suitable to confide in her confusion now.She thought of Xu Bufan. Although she wasn't sure if this so-called emotional expert was really capable, she was at least someone she could talk to.

After listening to Yuan Yuan's narration, Xu Bufan thought about it seriously.

"Yuan, your situation is a bit complicated. You said that she suddenly became cold towards you. You didn't have any quarrels or other conflicts before, but your attitude towards you changed."

What happened today was enough to make her uncomfortable, and now being summed up so bluntly by Xu Bufan, Yuan Yuan couldn't help biting her lip.

"That's it, that's why I find it weird. And her good friend came to Haicheng to see her. I wanted to accompany her to entertain her friends, but she kept chasing me, as if I was redundant and disturbed her." She played with friends."

The more I talked, the more sad I became.It was only then that Yuan Yuan discovered that she had been secretly comparing Ye Qing's attitude towards her and Jiang Zhilan all night long.

Although Yuan Yuan's face could not be seen, the gradually lowering voice was enough to explain his mood at this time.Xu Bufan couldn't bear it, but he had to ask clearly.

"Then did she see your thoughts? Or did you confess your love to her?"

Yuan Yuan was taken aback and repeatedly denied it.

"How is it possible! I only found out that I like her not long ago, how could I tell her." After that, she couldn't stop muttering, "How dare I let her know..."

Yuan Yuan admitted that she didn't dare, she couldn't even accept Ye Qing's current indifference.If she really confessed her love, Ye Qing might never talk to her again.Thinking of this possibility, Yuan Yuan almost cried.

Xu Bufan also became confused: "Since you didn't mention it, why did she suddenly become like this? Or you didn't mention it but she knew about it. I think this is the most likely possibility."

If she knew...

Yuan Yuan slipped down the phone in a daze, and sat on the bed weakly.If this possibility is true, it is really terrible.
