warm winter

The air conditioner in the room was obviously sufficient, but Ye Qing felt that the temperature around her body had risen to the point that her skin was scorching hot.From the cheeks to the roots of the ears, and then to the exposed jade arms, everything is dyed pink.

Yuan Yuan was almost close to her face, and if he took another step forward, their noses would touch.Ye slightly raised her head, the height gap between them who were also wearing high heels had been reversed.

Before she knew it, Yuan Yuan had grown slightly taller than her.

"You're distracted." Yuan Yuan's hoarse voice revealed her nervousness.

And Ye Qing suddenly lost his mind and was in an uncontrollable panic. He didn't care about comforting her, and just pursed his lips tightly.

Yuan Yuan chased her face, turning her face sideways following her movements, as if unwilling to let Ye Qingyi avoid her gaze.

Looking at her greedily and frankly, Yuan Yuan felt a spring overflow from the bottom of his heart.The love that has been carefully hidden all these years finally came to the day when she could express it, and she was almost so nervous that she was about to suffocate.

It has been a long time since Ye Qing was surrounded by people at such a close distance, and the body temperature transmitted through the air made her have nowhere to escape.Yuan Yuan's disordered breath infected her, and it made her heart beat wildly, making her body even hotter.

"Yuan Yuan, if there is nothing important, I'll leave first." Ye Qing didn't dare to let herself linger in such an atmosphere, and struggled to leave.

Although Yuan Yuan circled her, he didn't actually hug her. The hand they were holding was the only part they were really connected with at this moment.

She had practiced the confession countless times before and forgot most of it the moment she held Ye Qing, and now half of her mind is mushy.If it hadn't been for the tightly holding hands repeatedly proving that this moment is real and not a dream, Yuan Yuan would not have had the courage to persevere.

She had dreamed of this day several times before, and also dreamed that they were so close to each other, but she didn't expect that she would be messed up before she even opened her mouth.

My heart was beating like thunder, and my throat almost popped out.

She was afraid that Ye Qing would really leave, so she pulled her hard, and hurriedly said: "I have something to do, something very important! Don't go, listen to me, okay?"

Ye Qing didn't turn around, but turned his back to her.Tonight, her dress was still backless. Yuan Yuan felt that her back was elegant and noble when in the banquet hall, but at this time when it was only the two of them, she could taste the sultry sex appeal.

Swallowed a few times unconsciously, the sweat in the palms of the hands had penetrated into each other, and it was impossible to tell who was more nervous.

"Ye Qing, in fact, I... I'm very..." Yuan Yuan opened his mouth and realized that he had messed up his arrangements long ago, and he didn't mention the foreshadowing prepared in advance.

She stopped annoyed and tried her best to adjust her thoughts, but she was still hurt by Ye Qing's unexpected indifference.She practiced several times, she imagined her nervousness and Ye Qing's surprise, and she also imagined Ye Qing's rejection.

But he didn't expect Ye Qing to be so indifferent, even willing to leave her a back view.

The corner of Yuan Yuan's mouth was tingly, she couldn't directly say the phrase I like you that she had kept in her heart for several years.Ye Qing didn't rush, but the hand that was being held seemed to want to withdraw again.

Yuan Yuan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, let go of Ye Qing's hand all of a sudden, and ran to the bedside to search for things.Ye Qing squeezed the hand that was suddenly let go, suddenly hesitating whether to reach out to open the door.

Fortunately, Yuan Yuan came back quickly, holding an exquisite gift box, walked around in front of Ye Qing, and also blocked the door.

The implication is that I hope she doesn't leave.

Ye Qing couldn't turn around again, so she could only look at Yuan Yuan.

"I specially prepared this, and I have wanted to give it to you for a long time."

As if offering a treasure, he solemnly gave away the gift that accompanied him to sleep last night, without asking Ye Qing for anything in return, just to give her all the good things in the world.

When Yuan Yuan bought this necklace, she secretly made up her mind: as long as she can, she will give Ye Qing all the good things in the world she thinks.

And this necklace is just the first step.

Yuan Yuan's eyes were already deep and charming, as bright as stars, not to mention full of eager anticipation at this time.Ye Qing wanted to look away several times, but couldn't help but turn back and look again and again.

She admitted that at this time she was not only attracted by the beauty of Yuan Yuan, but also moved by her sincerity without impurities.

"Thank you."

Yuan Yuan's smile widened, and he passed the gift a little further, his eyes still not leaving Ye Qing's face at all.

"Then why don't you take it apart now?" Yuan Yuan thought, after you take it apart, I will put it on for you myself.

She had noticed that Ye Qing's neck was not wearing anything tonight, it was so white that it made people want to commit a crime.

Ye Qing was very thin, and the dress set off her perfect collarbone so that she no longer needed to decorate her neck with other accessories.

Ye Qing was silent again, but Yuan Yuan knew that Ye Qing didn't want to open the gift, and it wasn't because of embarrassment.

"You... don't you like me giving you a gift?" Yuan Yuan's tone was a little low, but she still tried to keep smiling.

Ye Qing sighed and shook her head: "I like it very much. But today is your birthday, so I should give you a gift."

"It's okay, if you like the gift I gave you, it's the best gift for me." So don't worry about it, open the gift, okay?

Ye Qing saw that she insisted, as if if she didn't accept the gift, her hand would not be taken back.Although she guessed that this gift would not be something casual, when she opened the box and saw the diamond necklace that almost made her dizzy, her heart still trembled uncontrollably.

This necklace is designed by a famous designer and is absolutely limited edition.The style is something she is familiar with to the bone, and she has spent countless days and nights working out it.

It was supposed to be grandly launched as the annual work of the Paris studio, but unexpectedly lost the original manuscript.And one month after she couldn't find it, she saw it at the brand show in Milan.

At that time, the style of the necklace was fine-tuned, and the designer's signature did not belong to Ye Qing at all.

How can a product that is heavily marketed by a top-tier brand be cheap?Although Ye Qing comforted herself afterwards, the changed details are exactly where its soul lies, so her works are still with her.But it is undeniable that whenever she sees this necklace appearing in various soft articles, her heart still hurts, just like seeing a child who was once given high expectations lost and never found again.

Ye Qing's eyes were clouded with mist, she bit her lip tightly to keep the tears from falling.This strength frightened Yuan Yuan, who had been looking forward to wearing a necklace for her, but now he was so helpless that he just wanted to wipe her tears.

"Don't you like it?" Yuan Yuan was a little anxious, but his voice was very soft, and he said affectionately, concerned, and nervously, "I don't know what you like, so I chose according to what I like. It's all my fault that I didn't ask clearly beforehand, Ye Qing, don't be unhappy."

Ye Qing was still staring at the necklace, turning a deaf ear to Yuan Yuan's explanation, and didn't give her any reaction.

Yuan Yuan stretched out his hand, even wanting to snatch the box back.She was very annoyed. If she could, she would rather turn back the time and go back to 10 minutes ago.She would rather be empty-handed and only give her heart, and don't let this shining necklace hurt Ye Qing's eyes.

Almost all the savings in the small treasury were spent, but compared to Ye Qing's sadness at this time, it was insignificant.Yuan Yuan chose to give up the necklace without hesitation: "If you don't like it, then don't. I will respect your opinion and buy it again in the future."

Yuan Yuan lowered his head, for fear of missing any change in Ye Qing's expression.

Ye Qing finally calmed down, she sucked her nose, raised her head to let the tears back.

She doesn't want to cry in front of others, she doesn't want others to see her fragility, and she doesn't want Yuan Yuan to know how badly she fell.

"Thank you for your hard work. But this gift is too expensive for me to accept."

Sure enough, Ye Qing returned the box.

Yuan Yuan couldn't care less, she stretched out her hand to hold Ye Qing into her arms, and let her slightly raised chin rest on her shoulder.

At this moment, she just wants to give Ye Qing a warm hug, so that the sadness in her eyes will be less.The necklace is no longer important, what is important is Ye Qing in front of him.

The person in her arms was still trembling slightly, Yuan Yuan was so distressed that she didn't know what to do, so she could only hug her tightly.

"I'm sorry, when I bought this necklace, I wanted to make you happy and make you the most dazzling person tonight." After a pause, Yuan Yuan said with self-mockery; "Now it seems that I should screwed up."

Ye Qing raised his hand slowly, and gently landed on Yuan Yuan's back.She didn't hug Yuan Yuan back, but just patted her a few times to indicate that she was fine.

"It's none of your business, it's my own problem. This necklace is too expensive, and our relationship is not suitable."

Ye Qing thought to herself, she is just a contract fiancée, and her contract is about to expire, so what qualifications does she have to accept expensive gifts from other people's children?

Yuan Yuan seemed to have found the opportunity she had been looking for all night, she opened a little distance but still kept Ye Qing in front of her.

Her eyes flashed again, and she looked at the person close at hand with deep meaning and affection: "Then if the relationship changes, will you be able to accept expensive gifts in the future?"

Yuan Yuan thought that it didn't matter if Ye Qing didn't like the necklace, next time she figured out what she liked and gave it away.But what she gave Ye Qing couldn't possibly be cheap, just like her love.

Ye lightly smiled, putting his hands on Yuan Yuan's shoulders.

Just when Yuan Yuan was grinning, Ye Qing's words were as cold as a knife's edge.

She said: "Yuan Yuan, we are just ordinary friends. No matter how we change it, we can't bear such a precious gift. So don't spend any more money in the future. I can't afford it, and I can't accept it."

The refusal was so straightforward, and the conclusion of their relationship was summed up in one go, and even the future relationship was set in advance.

Yuan Yuan had long forgotten the confession template, and now she just wanted to tell Ye Qing what she really wanted.

"Ye Qing, you clearly know it! You know that I have always..."

The rest of the words were blocked in his mouth, Ye Qing raised his hand to cover Yuan Yuan's lips.When the fingertips touched the thin lips, both of them trembled, but no one felt happy.

"say no more."

Yuan Yuan groaned a few times, still reluctant to let go of Ye Qing, so she shook her head and broke free: "No, I want to say! I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

Yuan Yuan's stubbornness and stubbornness made Ye Qing helpless, she couldn't bear it anymore but she had to be that rational person.

She had no choice but to turn her face completely cold, and the last trace of tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes disappeared, which was completely a calm performance in the workplace.

"Some words can no longer be remedied, so please be careful."

Yuan Yuan was stunned, the love that was about to gush was stuck in his throat, and his face turned red quickly.

Seeing that she was willing to listen to persuasion, Ye Qing hit the iron while the iron was hot: "You can't just think about yourself, you are an adult now, so you have to learn to think about others when you say anything and do anything."

You have to learn to think about the reputation of the Yuan family, you have to learn to think about your father's face, you have to learn to think about your own future.If possible, please also consider for me, just a little bit is fine.

Ye Qing's heart felt astringent.Although she didn't say the following words, with Yuan Yuan's cleverness, she believed that she must understand.

Sure enough, Yuan Yuan lowered his eyes, and the light went out instantly, as frustrating as the temperature between them dropped to freezing point.

Ye Qing broke free from Yuan Yuan's embrace, and straightened her dress.She took a few deep breaths and was about to leave the room after she calmed down.

She and Yuan Yuan disappeared for so long without reason, someone should have started looking for them.

I was distracted to open the door, and as soon as I touched the handle, I was taken back by a pair of strong hands.

Different from the previous two times, this time Yuan Yuan's actions were strong and resolute, and he didn't give Ye Qing any time to think.

Yuan Yuan pulled her back tightly, turned around and held her face in both hands, and then her kiss came suddenly.

Ye Qing's eyes widened in an instant, her thin lips burned with fiery temperature, and a single spark ignited the place where the lips touched.Yuan Yuan had already closed his eyes the moment he kissed her, concentrating and intoxicated.

Ye Qing's reason has been tearing, but her lips have been burnt to the point of losing consciousness.Then her cheeks, her ears, and even her neck, were hot and she had trouble breathing.

Yuan Yuan doesn't have any kissing skills, she relies entirely on instinct, so even if she sticks to Ye Qing's lips tightly, it's just sticking.She doesn't even know how to move, doesn't know how to grind, and doesn't even know how to take the initiative to invite, and she doesn't even know how to press harder.

The moment she kissed Ye Qing, her body froze completely.She didn't dare to look at Ye Qing, so she quickly closed her eyes.The touch between her lips was strange and novel, but it made her forget to breathe.She stopped in place for a long time, and held her breath for a long time, until she couldn't bear it anymore, and dared to release the disordered breath.

Yuan Yuan didn't know how long they kissed, but she felt that time seemed to stand still.It seems to be a long time, and it seems to be just a moment, but it is enough for her to remember her life.

She couldn't help sighing: I finally kissed my beloved.

I am truly an adult now.

Before Yuan Yuan could reflect on it carefully, his lips felt cold, and the other party already backed away.She opened her eyes slowly, and before she could see Ye Qing's face clearly, she felt the pain on her own face.

She was beaten by Ye Qing.

When she turned her face away, Ye Qing had already withdrawn her hand.It seemed that he only intended to slap him, and Yuan Yuan felt sad. Did this slap take advantage of him or did Ye Qing suffer?It seems that Ye Qing is at a disadvantage.

"Yuan Yuan, you're going too far." Ye Qing's tone was not only cold, but also angry.

Yuan Yuan heard the anger she was trying to suppress, and there was a trace of defense in her eyes that she had never seen before.

Yuan Yuan subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, except for the initial momentary pain, now he has no feeling.She thought, Ye Qing's slap was showing mercy.If I were kissed by someone, I wouldn't be so lenient.

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt. But I hope you can understand my heart. If you don't let me say what I say, I have no choice but to do it."

Ye Qing lost the forbearance and restraint she had before, and now she was more disappointed with Yuan Yuan.

"Are you always doing what you want? But if you can't do what you want, express it in a coercive way, no matter whether the other party accepts it or not?"

Ye Qing's questioning made Yuan Yuan speechless.She only thought that she was moved by love, so she kissed the one she loved.But calm down, she also knows how shameless she did just now, not to mention that Ye Qing is still her father's fiancee, even if she is just an ordinary person, she can't do this!

No matter what, she should wait until Ye Qing accepts her feelings before she can kiss her like this!

This time, Yuan Yuan thought, maybe time needs to be turned back an hour.

She thought desperately that she had completely screwed up tonight's confession.Ye Qing didn't like the carefully selected gift.Ye Qing doesn't want to listen to her affection.And her frivolous behavior disgusted Ye Qing even more.

Will she still have a chance in the future?

Ye Qing didn't even bother to tidy up her dress, she opened the door and walked out, her footsteps gradually receded in the corridor, Yuan Yuan finally lost her strength.She squatted down slowly, covered her face with her hands, and sobbed softly.

Jian Xinhe didn't see Ye Qing when he went upstairs, but he saw the light in Yuan Yuan's room, so he walked over quickly.Sure enough, the door was wide open, but tonight's little princess squatted on the ground like a wounded kitten.

Jian Xinhe rolled up the hem of the dress, squatted beside Yuan Yuan, and asked softly, "Xiao Yuan, what happened?"

The sobbing stopped, Yuan Yuan raised his head and looked at her with red eyes blinking.

Jian Xinhe's heart was pulled hard, how long has it been since Yuan Yuan was so sad?It seems that the last time I saw her like this was the summer after her mother left home.

That's right, Yuan Yuan's mother completely left the Yuan family in summer, shortly after her birthday.

"Today is your birthday, why hide here alone?"

Jian Xinhe's tenderness made Yuan Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, so she threw herself into her arms and cried out loud.The more she cried, the more sad she became, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances that had been suppressed in the past few years.

Falling short of success is Yuan Yuan's conclusion in his heart for his performance tonight.When Ye Qing left her room without hesitation, Yuan Yuan's tears welled up in an instant, and she couldn't even keep a clear eye on Ye Qing going downstairs.

Jian Xin and Gu Bu were staggered by Yuan Yuan's sudden pounce, and simply sat down on the carpet regardless of their manners.Yuan Yuan cried hoarsely in her arms, as if she was totally dependent on her when she was a child.

Jian Xinhe caressed her back slowly, and stopped asking why Yuan Yuan was so sad.While her heart ached, she also brought comfort. When Xiao Yuan was sad, she still wanted to find her embrace.The time and distance of more than two years have not changed them.

**

Ye Qing walked to the stairs and suddenly remembered that the folds of her dress were still there. She came down from the third floor openly. Even if she was not questioned, she could easily remind people of Yuan Yuan.

She purposely stopped for a moment before going downstairs to make sure that there were no footsteps following her. She was secretly relieved when she knew Yuan Yuan didn't chase her out, but she also felt unspeakably sad.

She found a corner to organize her dress, thinking about what happened just now.It was chaotic, but it impressed her deeply.

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in her ear, which startled her.

"Miss Ye, why are you here, do you need any help?"

Ye Qing raised his eyes after concentrating, and recognized this person as the wife of Yuan Honghao's distant cousin, whom he met at the beginning of the banquet.

The couple lived abroad all year round. They did not attend the last time she got engaged to Yuan Honghao. They said that they couldn't get away because they had something to do abroad, and they just gave a gift.Although Yuan Honghao seldom mentioned the matter of the Yuan family to her, after all, they had been together for a few years. Sometimes, on the way back from a dinner party, Yuan Honghao would let go after drinking some wine and take the initiative to talk about the bloody plot of the Yuan family's struggle for production. .

"I'm fine. I accidentally spilled the wine just now, so I'm going to do some tidying up here."

Ye Qing is very experienced in this kind of sudden strike-up, but at this moment she still feels guilty.

The other party looked at her secretly, and there was always an indescribable deep meaning on the corner of his mouth, which made Ye Qing feel uncomfortable.

She flicked her long curly hair, and was about to look for a chance to avoid it, when she heard the other party say again: "Is Miss Ye drunk, or why would she spill it on the third floor?"

The banquet hall is on the first floor, Yuan Honghao's room is on the second floor, so what reason does Ye Qing have to drink on the third floor?

Ye Qing didn't change his face, smiled slightly, and said: "Yuan Yuan wanted to touch up her makeup, so she asked me to come up to help, but she was in a hurry and forgot to put down the wine glass."

Meeting this person here, Ye Qing couldn't tell if it was a chance encounter or if someone was following him.But since she has no legitimate reason to come to the third floor, then this relative should have no reason.If she remembered correctly, this distant cousin came to the mansion less often than she did.

But she didn't want to be inquired about what happened just now, so she took the initiative to tell her. Anyway, her relationship with Yuan Yuan is not a secret.

"So that's the case. No wonder everyone couldn't find Xiao Yuan just now. It turned out that she was hiding to touch up her makeup. Heh, the little girl has grown up and knows that she is going to be beautiful."

While talking, the other party still looked at Ye Qing from time to time.Even though they are both women, Ye Qing still felt uncomfortable with such gazes, she suppressed the disgust in her heart, and did not want to argue with others.

She thought, today is Yuan Yuan's birthday, so don't make trouble.

Afterwards, she thought lonely and helplessly, in the room just now, what she gave Yuan Yuan should be the most unpleasant birthday memory.

"Why is one of your earrings missing? Did you drop it in Xiaoyuan's room when you were putting on your makeup just now?"

Ye Qing touched her ears vigilantly, and sure enough, one side was missing.

Her heart sank, and she became more certain of the other party's intentions.

"It may be that Yuan Yuan wanted to try on my earrings just now, but was disturbed by other things when he took them off and put them back on. Thank you for your reminder, I will find them myself."

After finishing speaking, he no longer gave the other party a chance to test, Ye Qing quickly turned around and walked towards Yuan Yuan's room.

The door was still open, weeping could be faintly heard, how fast Ye Qing walked when he left, and how heavy he was when he turned back now.Her feet seemed to be tied with lead weights. For the first time, Ye Qing felt that the high heels under her feet were so uncontrollable that she could hardly stabilize her body.

Jian Xinhe first found her. Although she was sitting on the carpet with an unsightly posture, she was still holding a crying man in his arms who was sobbing.But the entanglement and sadness in Ye Qing's expression were not much better, and a chill came from her straight back, which became the only source for her to stay awake.

"Miss Ye, what's the matter?" Jian Xin's polite voice sounded, but Ye Qing heard a hint of resistance.

The person who kept his head down raised his eyes quickly after hearing Jian Xinhe's words, as if he didn't believe that Ye Qing went back and forth.He forgot to be sad for a while, and stared blankly at her in a daze.

Ye Qingqiang braced himself, and said calmly: "I lost one of my earrings, come and see if it fell here."

Jian Xinhe's gaze was shocked, and he instantly understood who was the person who left Yuan Yuan's room just now.Could it be that Ye Qing was the one who made Yuan Yuan so sad just now?

Yuan Yuan struggled to get up from Jian Xin's arms as soon as she heard it, turned around in circles, and muttered: "Did it fall on my place? Why didn't I find out just now."

The figure of her earnestly looking for earrings for Ye Qing touched Jian Xinhe, and it was difficult to connect the person who was crying in her arms before with the person who was engrossed at this time.

Ye Qing was also moved, and his heart became more complicated.

Before she could walk over, Yuan Yuan found it with sharp eyes.It was probably accidentally rubbed off during the kiss just now, and kicked to the foot of the table when they were arguing.It's really hard to find it so quickly without looking carefully, Ye Qing looked at the person in front of him complicatedly.

Yuan Yuan put the earrings in his palm with joy, and held them out in front of her.The red and swollen eyes were still shining brightly, just as she was looking forward to when she gave herself a gift not long ago.

"Thank you." Ye Qing's fingertips touched Yuan Yuan's palm, and both hearts trembled deeply.

Yuan Yuan asked softly: "May I put it on for you?"

Ye Qing stared at her for a moment, then slowly withdrew her hand: "Okay."

Yuan Yuan's sadness and pain just now were swept away, as if she didn't remember it at all.She put earrings on Ye Qing excitedly, and accidentally touched Ye Qing's long hair with the back of her hand a few times.

Yuan Yuan withdrew his hand reluctantly, looking at the earrings she put on on the crystal earlobe with lingering eyes, feeling both satisfied and sour.

Although the confession was bad, it seemed that there was a turning point between her and Ye Qing.Although Ye Qing didn't say anything, the moment she agreed to help her wear the earrings, the fire in Yuan Yuan's heart lit up again.

The author has something to say: what?
