warm winter

During the summer vacation after the second year of high school, Haicheng was extremely hot.Yuan Yuan stared blankly at the scorching sun outside the window, and the half-opened heavy curtains could not completely isolate the heat outside the room.

Yuan Yuan sat on the chair, the computer screen in front of him was already dimmed, and various English materials were scattered on the desktop.The pictures on the paper are brightly colored, and the logos of several prestigious schools are particularly conspicuous, but Yuan Yuan is not interested in this.

The door of the study was pushed open, and Aunt Liu came up with a fruit plate.After entering the door, she carefully observed Yuan Yuan's expression, and was slightly relieved to see her sitting quietly at the desk.

"Xiaoyuan, it's hot today, let's eat some fruit to cool off."

"Aunt Liu, I don't want to eat."

Aunt Liu put the fruit plate on the corner of the table, and habitually cleaned up the scattered materials on the table for her, neatly stacked them together and put them where she could easily get them, then moved the fruit plate to Yuan Yuan.

"If you don't have an appetite, eat a few bites. I took it out of the refrigerator in advance, and it's not too cold."

Yuan Yuan's physique can't eat too cold food, otherwise he will be prone to pain during menstrual period.Although Aunt Liu usually pays attention to details, Yuan Yuan seems to have a strong sense of self-protection about this matter and is unwilling to say more.

Sometimes she asked for a painkiller when she couldn't take it anymore, which made Aunt Liu feel distressed and helpless.

"Xiao Yuan, don't blame your father for going to America to study, it's actually for your own good."

Aunt Liu deliberated for a moment before speaking.

Recently, the relationship between Yuan Yuan, Yuan Honghao and even the old lady has been a little tense, mainly because of differences in choosing a school.In Yuan Yuan's international high school, most of the students will go abroad for further study after graduation, so from the second year of high school, everyone began to discuss in private which country to go to in the future and which schools to apply for.

Yuan Yuan naturally couldn't avoid these discussions, but she was always in high spirits, often sitting in a corner, watching the students chat in full swing.

And the only one who accompanied her calmly and silently was Xu Bufan.

Yuan Yuan tried to express his desire to stay in China to study in university, but was rejected by his grandmother and father.

Yuan Yuan still remembers that when she said she didn't want to go abroad, her father's anger and grandma's exploration made her feel guilty.Every reason she said was not enough to shake the decision made by the elders for her, but the most real reason in her heart could only circulate silently in her heart.

She wants to stay in Haicheng, she wants to live in the same city and breathe the same air as Ye Qing.She wants to live in the same time zone as her, and doesn't want to live a life with her black and white reversed.

Every time Jian Xinhe returned to the United States, Yuan Yuan felt that the relationship with Xinhe was gradually estranged, as if the intimacy that was finally restored during the holidays suddenly returned to the previous one.

She is no longer used to sharing her emotions with Jian Xinhe immediately, not only because of Ye Qing and Xu Bufan, but also because of the time difference between her and Xinhe.

Their lives are no longer in sync. Xinhe's day is her own night, and when she is busy is the quiet time when she most needs company and talk.

Even if Xinhe would deliberately accommodate her, Yuan Yuan knew that this was not a long-term solution after all.She is reluctant to let Ye Qing do the same, even if she is willing to do this for Ye Qing, but the long distance and the inevitable time difference will eventually completely weaken the relationship between them.

Although now they are not as close as they used to be.But anyway, they are all in Haicheng, and there are still shadows of each other in their lives, even if they are separated by their father.

Yuan Yuan forced a smile, and took the initiative to pick up an apple and stuff it into his mouth.The worry on Aunt Liu's face made it impossible for her to continue the slumped state just now.

She had been thinking in the study for a few days, and finally admitted the reality: she was powerless to resist and change the path her parents chose for her.

America is a must.

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu, I've already thought it through. I'm going to America, I'm just wondering which school I should choose, they all look very good."

Yuan Yuan specifically pointed to the pile of materials that Aunt Liu had just sorted out at her hand. In fact, all the information on it made her very upset.But at this time, she showed that it was difficult to make a choice, and it seemed that every school made her yearn for it.

Aunt Liu encouraged her with a smile: "These schools have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are all top in the world. You can choose the one you like, and don't worry about whether you can apply."

Aunt Liu's meaning was very clear, since the old lady and Master Honghao specially picked these schools, they must have made sufficient preparations.As long as Yuan Yuan likes it, she doesn't need to worry about the rest.

In addition, in the past two years, Yuan Yuan's academic performance has been very good.Transcripts from Killington International High School are also recognized abroad, which is very helpful for the application.

Yuan Yuan pursed her lips, only nodded and smiled to respond to Aunt Liu's concern and relief.

They are all for their own good, but who can understand their own thoughts?

**

Yuan Yuan thought again and again, and went to Ye Qing's studio with the stack of documents on his back.

There were very few vehicles passing by on Xin'ai Road, and the shade of the trees on both sides created a slight coolness, which was actually more comfortable than the air conditioner in the study.

Even so, when Yuan Yuan stepped on the wooden stairs, he was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat.

She sent Zhuang Yi a message in advance, asking him for help.

"Oh, Xiao Yuan is here! Why did you choose this spot to come here? It happens to be the hottest time, and you can see that this little face is flushed from the sun."

Zhuang Yi welcomed Yuan Yuan in very enthusiastically, and intentionally or unintentionally led him towards Ye Qing's workbench.

He moved a stool opposite to Ye Qing, and said to her: "Ye Qing, do you mind letting Xiao Yuan sit by your side? I have a pile of debris in my place, and it's too late to tidy up. And there's still a lot of paint, I'm afraid I'll get her clothes dirty."

Ye Qing quickly glanced at the direction Zhuang Yi was pointing at, and there was indeed a mess there.Every artist has their own creative habits, and she never interferes with Zhuang Yi's affairs, and she is not too picky now.

"Sit casually, don't pay attention to these things."

The tension in Yuan Yuan's heart was finally relieved. She struggled many times on the way here, and even wanted to turn around and go home.

It wasn't until she stood in front of Ye Qing that she knew that if she didn't persist, she would definitely regret it.

As long as you can see Ye Qing, everything seems to be no longer entangled, no need to struggle.Her heart will tell her the answer, and when she sees someone she likes, her fresh heart will definitely dance happily the first time.

"Ye Qing, long time no see, how are you?"

Yuan Yuan took the initiative to walk over, sat down and pulled the stool closer to the workbench.She was lying on the table, resting her chin with her hands, blinking her big bright eyes, and looking straight at the person opposite.

Ye Qing quickly raised her eyes, only looked at her once, then quickly retracted her gaze, and continued to stare at the screen.

"It's still the same."

Seemingly dissatisfied with his own response, Ye Qing unconsciously pulled back the hair around his ear, bit his lip and asked, "How about you, have you been studying well recently?"

Yuan Yuan seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Yuan Yuan's voice with a smile: "It's good. After this summer vacation, I will be in my third year of high school."

Ye Qing wasn't sure if he heard it wrong, it seemed that Yuan Yuan was looking forward to his senior year?

Recalling my senior year in high school, the details have long been blurred, but the word hard work is still vivid.Even though her grades have always been excellent, she cannot avoid being anxious about applying for prestigious schools and full scholarships.

There is never a shortage of outstanding people in this world. Ye Qing never denies her own excellence, but she never dares to be proud and underestimate the enemy, because she cannot afford to lose.

Every step she takes, there is no turning back.So she must make herself excellent, so good that she has more choices in the future.

Ye Wei slightly nodded, not intending to continue the chat.But there was such a lovely person staring at him eagerly in front of him, even if she didn't say a word, Ye Qing could no longer concentrate on his work.

She secretly blamed herself for having poor concentration and getting distracted more and more easily.But the body had already reacted earlier than his heart, so he continued to talk to Yuan Yuan.

"The third year of high school will be very hard, are you ready?"

Yuan Yuan's big eyes blinked several times in a row, like a sky full of stars, instantly illuminating the flickering blankness in Ye Qing's heart.

"I've been waiting a long time."

Yuan Yuan said it sincerely and urgently, wishing that tomorrow would be the third year of high school.

Ye smiled lightly and shook his head. This kid probably doesn't know how tiring and scary the third year of high school will be, and he still looks forward to it.She could hear that Yuan Yuan was even excitedly waiting for the start of the third year of high school, which was really different from others.

Zhuang Yi couldn't get in the way all the time, so he finally seized the opportunity and pretended to cough a few times, finally reminding people of his existence.

He mainly wanted to remind Yuan Yuan that she was the one who asked him for help, but she was also the one who got carried away after coming here.

If he didn't understand Yuan Yuan's temperament, he really thought that the rich lady was playing tricks on him on purpose.

"Xiao Yuan, didn't you come here because you wanted me to help you refer to important matters?"

"Oh, yes! I brought this, and I want you to help me refer to it and provide some advice."

Yuan Yuan finally came to her senses, she was afraid that the sudden arrival today would make Ye Qing suspicious.So yesterday I specially found Zhuang Yi and asked him to cooperate in a play.

Yuan Yuan dug out the stack of materials from her schoolbag, and deliberately slowed down when passing Ye Qing, so that she could see the general content clearly.

"These are the school materials I'm going to apply for, but I don't know how to choose, so I want you to help me look."

Zhuang Yi pretended to take the information, and when he saw the content clearly, his face was brightened.

"Sure enough, they are all first-class schools, and their majors are also top-notch. No matter which one you choose, it will be very good for you."

Zhuang Yi's words are not false. Even though he has never studied business, he has heard of these majors, and they are indeed the trump cards of their respective schools.

Yuan Yuan secretly glanced at Ye Qing, and saw that she was also looking at the things in Zhuang Yi's hand.

After reading it carefully for a while, Zhuang Yi didn't say anything except for a few sighs of emotion. After reading it roughly, he pretended to be embarrassed: "In my opinion, these schools are very good, and it is really too difficult to choose."

Then before Yuan Yuan could answer, Zhuang Yi handed Ye Qing the information in his hand.

"You are a top student, so you must have more experience than me in this area, why don't you help Xiao Yuan take a look?"

Yuan Yuan immediately turned his head to look at Ye Qing, the expectation in his eyes no one could say no to.

Ye Qing took it very naturally, and browsed it carefully.

Yuan Yuan pursed her lips tightly, and looked at her greedily while she was serious and focused on reading the documents.

Ye Qing read it very seriously, she read every page of information completely, and she didn't want to miss any part of the information.

The studio fell into a quiet atmosphere, but no one was impatient, and no one made a sound to break it.

After a long time, Ye Qing raised his head and looked at Yuan Yuan with a little surprise: "Do you like business?"

Without exception, all of these majors are business majors, but with different emphases.Yuan Honghao mentioned to her that he hoped that Yuan Yuan could take over his class in the future.But Ye Qing felt a little sad when he saw that Yuan Yuan's application materials only included business majors.

Sure enough, Yuan Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "I can only choose one from here."

The scope of majors is too narrow, so instead of letting Yuan Yuan choose, it is better to let her choose the most acceptable one from the already arranged choices.

But Ye Qing has no position to say this, the only heir of the Yuan family is Yuan Yuan, and it is almost impossible to inherit a huge business empire without studying business.

Ye Qing couldn't help feeling sorry for Yuan Yuan, and sighed softly: "Actually, no matter which one you choose, I think it's very good. But if you ask my opinion, I will recommend this one."

Ye Qing took out one of the documents, and pushed it in front of Yuan Yuan.Zhuang Yi also came over and took a closer look, he really had a good eye and taste.

I chose the one that was the most difficult to apply for and had the highest qualifications.

"Zhilan is a postdoctoral student here, so I know more about this school." Seeing the doubts in Yuan Yuan's eyes, Ye Qing took the initiative to explain.

"If you didn't remind me, I almost forgot." Yuan Yuan smiled embarrassedly, and vaguely remembered that Jiang Zhilan seemed to have mentioned it when she introduced herself, but she only paid attention to Ye Qing at that time, and other information had long been filtered out.

"So if you decide to apply here, I can ask Zhilan for more information."

Ye Qing really wanted to help Yuan Yuan, even though she knew that with the strength of the Yuan family, she would be able to find any information she wanted.But after all, there are trusted acquaintances who can grasp the most authentic information.For Yuan Yuan, this was the icing on the cake.

Yuan Yuan hesitated a little: "Will it be too much trouble for Zhilan?"

She suddenly remembered that Jian Xinhe also studied there, and also studied business.If she really applied to go there, she might become Xinhe's junior.

Ye Qing shook her head resolutely: "Zhilan is an enthusiastic person, don't worry about it."
