warm winter

It was already late at night when Ye Qing arrived at the F city airport, in order to arrive before Christmas, she chose to transfer.The journey that was twice as long as the direct flight did not make her feel sleepy, but she was looking forward to the coming Christmas.

This was their first Christmas together.

Ye Qing knew that Yuan Yuan definitely wanted to be with her in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let her come again because he felt sorry for her going back and forth too hard.If it wasn't for Yuan Honghao, maybe she really couldn't get away.

The studio is on a steady rise, as long as it survives this turmoil, it will be able to gain a firm foothold in the industry and even shine.Ye Qing thought for a long time, only if she leaves completely can Yuan Honghao not attack the studio.

Although Yuan Honghao had a firm attitude and bad words that day, she still believed in his character.He won't do anything beyond the bottom line, but beating is inevitable.At such a critical moment, any interference from the outside is extremely dangerous, and she knows how serious it is, so she reluctantly let go—the studio she founded.

Now she travels thousands of miles with her luggage, not only to visit the lover she cares about in her heart, but also to go to the lover who can give warmth after retreating temporarily.

Yuan Yuan is not her burden, but her destination.

Lying on the big bed in the hotel, Ye Qing was exhausted but tossed and turned hard to fall asleep.This time she came here without telling Jiang Zhilan in advance, except that she wanted to surprise Yuan Yuan and her friend, and she didn't want to disturb her friend anymore.

Leaving aside the studio, Ye Qing came to F City this time with the intention of staying for a long time, and it is no longer suitable to live in Jiang Zhilan's place.But if you want to live with Yuan Yuan, Aunt Liu is not easy to explain, and it is easier to anger Yuan Honghao.

Wan—it will be even more troublesome to pass it on to Mrs. Yuan.In the short term, Ye Qing is not yet fully prepared to deal with the entire Yuan family.

During this period of time, there have been many and complicated events happening one after another, which is almost more than the sum of all the disturbances in the past twenty years.But it's also true that there is more joy than all the past put together.

Yuan Yuan's news popped up, Ye Qing opened his eyes in a daze, the sky outside the window was already bright.It is 07:30 in the morning of City F time, and Yuan Yuan wakes up so early even during the Christmas holiday.

"Ye Qing, I'm getting up. This morning I'm going to the hospital for the last reconstruction before the festival, and then I have dinner with Xinhe at noon. I plan to study for three hours in the afternoon."

Every day, Yuan Yuan will report his itinerary for the day in detail and on time.Although Ye Qing didn't make such a request, Yuan Yuan's self-consciousness still made her feel amused and heart-warming.

With her eyes blurred, she brought the phone to her mouth and sent a simple voice: "Okay. I'll contact you when you're done."

Probably because she finally fell asleep, Ye Qing put the phone beside the bed after replying to the message, turned over and fell asleep.

Yuan Yuan listened to that voice over and over again with his mobile phone, and the doubts on his face became more and more obvious.

Aunt Liu couldn't help urging her from the side: "Xiaoyuan, what are you listening to with your mobile phone on the road? Stop playing with your mobile phone after you get to the hospital."

Yuan Yuan put the phone in his pocket, glanced at Aunt Liu, then turned his gaze to Jian Xinhe who was driving, thought for a while and said nothing.

She was frustrated to find that this sweet love was just a secret between her and Ye Qing.Except for occasionally being able to share Jiang Zhilan's jokes—two, she has no one to talk to, let alone share.

When she was unrequited love in the past, she still had Xu Bufan and Zhuang Yi by her side, although at that time she could only hide her feelings for Ye Qing, and she didn't dare to show it for fear of scaring Ye Qing away.But at that time, at least there were people around her who were willing to listen to her complaints. Even if she was lonely and sad, there would always be someone who patted her on the shoulder to comfort and encourage her.

Now her heart often overflows with sweetness, but when she looks around, there is nothing - no one.Not only will no one be able to share the joy, but we must always be vigilant, for fear that the secret will be leaked if we are not careful and do not manage the expressions well.

Jian Xinhe didn't ask her face to face, but Yuan Yuan felt that Xinhe should be aware of it.She tried probing, but every time she wanted to talk about Ye Qing, Xin He would inadvertently change the subject.

Yuan Yuan felt that Xinhe didn't seem willing to listen to her talking about Ye Qing.

Yuan Yuan moved back to the apartment from the hospital in early December, and Aunt Liu didn't have to work as hard as before, she always had to spend the night with the hospital.Yuan Yuan's recovery is also very smooth, Jian Xinhe often comes to help her make up lessons, everyone seems to have returned to the days when they first came to F City.

Jian Xinhe parked the car and was with Aunt Liu, preparing to help Yuan Yuan to rebuild the site.

Yuan Yuan gently pulled out the hand supported by Aunt Liu, leaning most of her weight on Jian Xinhe's body, and said coquettishly, "Aunt Liu, I'm almost healed, so don't hold me up like before. right?"

Every time it was like going to the execution ground.But Yuan Yuan didn't dare to say this in front of Aunt Liu, the young people thought it was nothing, but the elders often had many taboos.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was hesitating, Jian Xin chimed in: "Aunt Liu, don't worry, the doctor said that Xiao Yuan's recovery is very satisfactory, and she should be given more opportunities to try to walk independently."

Aunt Liu watched Yuan Yuan get better and better, and she understood her situation very well.But she wasn't afraid—she was afraid of everything—she didn't dare to be careless, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to explain to the Yuan family.

"It's enough for you Xinhe to support me. I can try to touch the ground with my right foot first, so you don't have to worry about it." After Yuan Yuan said, he patted the outside of his right thigh hard twice.

Aunt Liu couldn't hold her back, so she had no choice but to follow her.

"Naxin and you will go up with her, and I'll go buy something for the holiday."

Aunt Liu took care of Yuan Yuan personally, and could hardly get away to do other things.It's rare to squeeze out such a little time today, and there should be still time to go to the department store.

This year is the first time to celebrate Christmas in the United States, and I do as the Romans do, so it is good to have a festive atmosphere at home.

After Aunt Liu left, Yuan Yuan couldn't help sticking out her tongue and showing a triumphant smile.Turning around, she realized that Jian Xinhe—had been looking at her, so she had already discovered her trick.

"Xiao Yuan has turned bad now, thinking about driving Aunt Liu away all day long. If she finds out, she will be very sad."

Yuan Yuan nervously begged: "Don't, don't, Xin and you, please don't tell Aunt Liu! I just think she's a little too nervous, and I don't have a chance to do things independently when she's around."

Jian Xinhe sighed in her heart, why didn't she understand.But as an elder, she was responsible for taking care of Yuan Yuan since she was a child, and Aunt Liu also had her own difficulties.

"Don't blame her, after all, she is responsible to your grandma."

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have been so obedient. I just don't want to embarrass Aunt Liu, but I can't live without a little freedom."

The embarrassed expression on Yuan Yuan's face was vivid and real. Looking at her frowning brows and the corners of her slightly tensed mouth, although it was not beautiful, it was real enough.

Xiao Yuan is different from before.She became proactive and knew how to fight for what she wanted, instead of just accepting what others had arranged for her silently, regardless of the family arrangements as before.

At that time, everything seemed to have nothing to do with her.She is just a passive recipient, she only needs to accept the signals from the outside world indifferently.And her emotions are rarely shown, and even if they happen occasionally, they don't fully reflect her heart.

After Jian Xinhe knew that Ye Qing was with her, she felt that she and Yuan Yuan would drift away.But when they got together, Jian Xinhe realized that what he saw now seemed to be the more real Yuan Yuan.

However, such a real Xiaoyuan is cuter and more exciting than before, but it no longer belongs to her.Jian Xinhe couldn't help being sad, lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly, and concentrated on supporting Yuan Yuan, feeling for the first time that the road to the reconstruction room was so long.

Yuan Yuan suddenly approached her, and said mysteriously in her ear: "Xinhe, do you have any experience in choosing gifts?"

Jian Xinhe was made unnatural by such a distance, so he could only raise his head, pretending to lean back inadvertently, in order to create a distance.She was afraid that if Yuan Yuan talked to her so close again, she would not be able to help - hug him.

"You mean Christmas presents?"

"Uh, sort of." Yuan Yuan twitched suddenly, thought for a while and added, "It's the kind of gift I want to give to my partner at Christmas."

Jian Xin and the smirk on her face couldn't last anymore, but it didn't seem like last time—she wanted to cry all of a sudden.Probably due to doing a lot of psychological construction, her endurance is much better than before.

"I don't have a partner, I don't know how to do this question."

"That's right." Yuan Yuan felt a little regretful.

Soon, she thought of someone again, but her face was very troubled, and she was debating whether to ask for help.

"Tell me, does your second brother understand?"

I heard that Jian Xincheng is very popular with girls in their school. He has recently become obsessed with drama performances, and has many fans in the drama club.

"Do you expect his experience to help you?" Jian Xinhe dismantled his second brother's stage - not ambiguous, "If you are not afraid of falling in love for no more than three months like him, you can ask him. "

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath, good guy, this is what the so-called popularity looks like.

"Forget it, I don't want to be like this, I hope my love will last forever, forever and ever. But people say that the first three months of love are the sweetest, if you can keep it so sweet all the time, that's the best gone."

Seeing Yuan Yuan immersed in the beautiful expectation of love, Jian Xin and the bitterness on the corner of her mouth gradually relieved.As long as Xiao Yuan is really happy, why should she be persistent.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yuan didn't have the slightest strange emotion towards her, otherwise he wouldn't be unaware until now.

In the past, she could deceive herself and say that it was because Yuan Yuan was still young, her love affair was not open, and she didn't know what love was at all.But now all she thinks about is Ye Qing, besides saying "I have a girlfriend" on her face, how can she look like a person who doesn't know love?

That is to say, Aunt Liu always treats her like a child, otherwise Yuan Yuan would have revealed her secrets these days.

When Jian Xinhe was doing self-examination, she always felt that Yuan Yuan seemed to be looking at her, but she didn't dare to look directly at her.

"What's wrong with you today?" Xin He was puzzled, Xiao Yuan deliberately pushed Aunt Liu away, as if she had something to say.

But didn't you ask me just now, about giving gifts to girlfriends?

Yuan Yuan faltered, not as naturally as when he spoke just now.

"What exactly do you want to say to me?" Jian Xin became gentle and had the magical effect of soothing all restlessness.

Yuan Yuan was soothed by such gentle eyes and tone, she knew that Xinhe might be unhappy, but she still decided to speak formally.

"Xinhe, you should know that I have a girlfriend, right?" Yuan Yuan tentatively opened his mouth, but saw the tenderness in Jian Xinhe's eyes gradually dissipate.

Instead, it becomes a little sad, and finally indifferent and cold.

"Yes, I see." Jian Xinhe replied in a low voice.

Yuan Yuan asked again with difficulty: "Then you know my girlfriend is..."

Jian Xinhe quickly glanced at her, seeing her cautious look and frowning, somehow, the knot in her heart showed signs of unraveling.

"I think I know."

Yuan Yuan nodded reassuringly, and smiled at her a little embarrassedly.

Jian Xinhe looked at her helplessly, just now she had been questioning my girlfriend, but now she suddenly became shy and pure, I really don't know if I should say that she has grown up.

"Why, do you want me to help you cover?"

Jian Xinhe didn't just talk casually, since she finished talking with Ye Qing outside the hospital that day, she thought a lot after returning home.Sadness is sad, but she has to think for Yuan Yuan.

Such feelings must be unacceptable.At least in the Yuan family, it must be very difficult to gain a foothold.

Ye Qing claimed that he could protect Yuan Yuan, but Jian Xin and how dare he be 100% assured.She can let go of Xiaoyuan, but she can't let go of her.After taking care of her for so many years, why not take care of her for a few more years?

"Is this... okay?" Yuan Yuan was surprised by Jian Xinhe's words.

She actually just wanted to officially share the news of her relationship with her best friend, but she never found the right opportunity.

"If it's within my ability, there's nothing wrong with it." Jian Xinhe put on a calm and elegant smile again, with a touch of tenderness.

"Oh, can you help me get Aunt Liu away tonight?"

Yuan Yuan was really troubled by this problem, but it seemed that it was quite difficult for Jian Xinhe.

"Tonight is Christmas Eve. What reason can I use to take Aunt Liu away? She won't go to a place like a bar with me. More importantly, she will definitely stay with you at home."

"I know all of this. I just want to have some independent space. I can call her and have a good talk."

Since Ye Qing returned to China, they have contacted and made voice calls every day, but they were always in a hurry and kept a few short sentences.It has been a long time since I spoke softly and expressed my feelings like in the hospital.

Yuan Yuan thought, even if he couldn't see anyone or hug him, at least he could have a chance to be alone quietly and express the thoughts accumulated these days.

Seeing her lost look, Jian Xinhe thought about it, and generously gave up his apartment: "You go to my place tonight and just say that I have business with you."

"Ah? Go to your house..."

Seeing that Yuan Yuan was still hesitant, Jian Xinhe couldn't help but pat her on the head: "I'll go out to have fun, I won't be your light bulb."

Only then did Yuan Yuan smile, Jian Xinhe was indeed her best friend.Things that she can't solve, seem to be solved by Xinhe.

Yuan Yuan feels that she is very lucky, always meeting very powerful people.Her father is good at business, her good friend Jian Xin is good at solving problems, and her girlfriend Ye Qing is good at everything.

Well, I don’t know if it was great or not at that time?

Yuan Yuan blushed unconsciously. She admitted that after Ye Qing left, she secretly read information about how to get along with her girlfriend on the Internet.Whether it is the text commentary version or the live-action video version, she has studied hard and comprehended the essence.

After all, she has no experience in this area, and she is afraid of being laughed at by Ye Qing in the future.She doesn't want to fall behind in age and appear immature in this kind of thing, which is not conducive to enhancing the relationship.

I don't know if it was serious or not, but Ye Qing kisses very well anyway!Well, her girlfriend, kissing is awesome!

Yuan Yuan laughed foolishly for a while, then suddenly became sad again.Such a powerful girlfriend is not around, all the power can only be legends.

While Jian Xinhe was waiting for Yuan Yuan to rebuild, he answered a few calls, as if he was organizing and arranging something, and Yuan Yuan could only see her profile when he occasionally looked at her.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be a very happy thing, because Xinhe seemed to be laughing all the time?

Aunt Liu was not happy about Yuan Yuan going to Jian Xin and there on Christmas Eve.But then I thought, after all, they are the same age, and it would be more interesting to celebrate the festival together.During the period of recuperating in the hospital, Yuan Yuan was bored to death, but this child was obedient enough, and honestly never messed around.

Thinking of this, Aunt Liu happily let her go.When the driver sent Yuan Yuan to Jian Xin and her apartment, she was already waiting at the door.In fact, they live not far from each other, but Yuan Yuan's leg injury is still there, and she is not allowed to go out for walks in winter nights.

"Leave it to me here, and you can go back to rest for the holidays." Jian Xin and Yaya dismissed Yuan Yuan's driver, and it is considered safe because there are bodyguards from Jian's family on duty here.

Just as Yuan Yuan sat down, Jian Xinhe poured her a glass of juice, and then began to wear a scarf, as if she was in a hurry to go out.

"Who are you dating? Are you so impatient?" Yuan Yuan held the juice in his hand and teasingly looked at Jian Xinhe who was wearing a woolen hat.

Yuan Yuan, who was too lazy to pay attention to gossip, always felt that Xiao Yuan was becoming more and more like someone, especially now that those curious eyes were full of searching smiles.

Hmph, when I meet someone later, I have to put the blame on her!

After tidying up her clothes and hats to ensure that she was warm enough without losing her beauty, Jian Xin touched Yuan Yuan's head symbolically.

"Sister is going out on a date, you're here tonight to date your foreign girlfriend obediently, don't run around, you know?"

Yuan Yuan——thinking that he would be able to chat with Ye Qing alone later, he was very excited, so he nodded obediently and obediently.

After leaving the house, the cold air blows away all of Jian Xin and the smile on her face, and the tenderness just now is no longer left.She looked up at the dark sky, then at the crowded street, adjusted her mood and left without looking back.

Yuan Yuan glanced at the time, it was still half an hour before Ye Qing woke up, she quietly finished drinking the juice, and then went to the bathroom to tidy up her appearance.

Although it is very common to have a video with your girlfriend, tonight is a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone.And it's Christmas Eve again, so there should be a sense of ritual.

Yuan Yuan didn't dare to dress too formally, for fear that Aunt Liu would become suspicious, but she still carefully matched today's clothes, hoping to show Ye Qing that she looks good.

The usual time for regular contact finally came, and Yuan Yuan hurriedly dialed a video call request.

Ye Qing on the other end quickly picked up, as if she had been waiting for her call.

When the person she was thinking about on the phone appeared, the corners of Yuan Yuan's mouth reached to the bottom of her ears, and she didn't even realize that she was smiling so happily.

"Ye Qing!"

"Yuan Yuan."

It's so simple, just calling the other party's name, but it makes the people on both ends of the phone activate the switch in their hearts at the same time.It's not an exaggeration to miss her sickly. Yuan Yuan has been feeling emotional for the past few days. She has not yet reached the point of being sick, but she is definitely suffering.

Compared with her passionate call, Ye Qing's plain response made her a little uncomfortable.Although I know that Ye Qing has always been like this, but when we meet again, shouldn't it be a little different?

Ye Qing seemed to see Yuan Yuan's displeasure, and moved closer to staring at her on the screen.

"What's the matter, you pouted when you saw me, are you unhappy?"

Yuan Yuan was so unhappy, she wished that one second could turn into two seconds, so that she could just keep looking at Ye Qing.

"I'm not unhappy. It's just that when you called my name just now, it was a little dull."

After Ye Qing listened, she didn't call again.

"By the way, let me show you how I am recovering." Yuan Yuan didn't want to dwell on the topic just now, she couldn't wait to stand up, and slowly turned around twice on the spot.

Then slowly walked back and forth a few steps, showing Ye Qing the results of her reconstruction during this period.

Ye Qing watched from the other side of the screen with a smile on his face, and the tenderness in his eyes gradually became stronger.

That's great, Yuan Yuan, who was healthy and healthy before, is finally back.

Yuan Yuan didn't dare to mess around, and sat back before he could walk for too long.Before she could speak, Ye Qing took the initiative to praise her.

"You're very good and well behaved."

Yuan Yuan smiled until there was only a slit in his eyes, and he shook his head from time to time to be unhappy.

"It's just boasting, I'm working hard to rebuild!"

Ye Qing—uncharacteristically, suddenly moved closer to the screen, about a centimeter away from the screen, and gave Yuan Yuan a kiss in the air.

Why doesn't she want to reward her good girl well!

Wait a little longer, she will soon have her wish come true.

Yuan Yuan was quite satisfied with this, and took the initiative to report some recent situations, and Ye Qing responded to her from time to time.Either they praised or encouraged, and others offered pertinent opinions. Yuan Yuan felt more and more that Ye Qing was not only her girlfriend, but also her good teacher.

Unknowingly, the two chatted through the screen for almost an hour, and Yuan Yuan vaguely heard the screams of young couples playing outside the window, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't done his business tonight.

"Honey, I have a Christmas present for you."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Yuan stood up, took the mobile phone and walked to the side hall next to it, where there was a grand piano.

Yuan Yuan can play the piano, Ye Qing heard Yuan Honghao mention it, and had seen the piano at Yuan's house, but she had never heard of it.

Yuan Yuan put the mobile phone on the coffee table next to him and fixed it with a bracket. This angle is a bit like the parent's perspective of the sparring partner.What Ye Qing saw on the screen was Yuan Yuan sitting in front of the piano, with her slender fingers resting on the keyboard. The lines of her side face were perfectly alluring, and her youthfulness faded and she began to mature.

The current Yuan Yuan is just a good time, and Ye Qing can't help but rejoice that he can meet her in such a good time.

Yuan Yuan played a few notes first, then sat up straight.Before officially playing, she turned her face to the phone and said affectionately: "This song represents my heart for you, I hope you like it."

It wasn't a famous classical song, nor was it a European and American pop song. Yuan Yuan played "Fairy Tale" by Guangliang.

Ye watched her play with a slight smile, and his eyes were red when he smiled.

That was the song played in the car when she sent Ye Qing home for the first time.

Ye Qing didn't know if Yuan Yuan remembered it that day, but after she heard the song, she had expectations for the love described in the lyrics for the first time.

The lyrics say that that person will become the angel you love in fairy tales, and open his hands into wings to protect you.

For the first time, Ye Qing allowed himself to dare to fantasize about the appearance of an angel willing to protect him all the time.

Yuan Yuan played very seriously, every note was infused with her deep feelings.Ye Qing could feel her strong love from every note flowing from her fingertips, and her heart began to feel slightly hot.

Although Yuan Yuan is still young, Ye Qing is not in a hurry to urge her to grow up.Let her protect her little girl first, and then hug her when the little girl grows up.

The sound of the piano stopped, Ye Qing opened her eyes, and saw the same affectionate eyes on the other side of the screen, staring at her.

"Ye Qing, I want to be your angel, to hold you and protect you."

Then Yuan Yuan opened his arms across the air, and then slowly closed them, leaving only a place for her.

Just as Ye Qing was about to speak, suddenly the doorbell rang.

Probably because the playing just now moved her so much that she subconsciously got up and went to open the door before she fully recovered.

Then Yuan Yuan saw through the mobile phone she was holding, a handsome blond boy came in pushing a dining car, and then the handsome guy said: "your room service."

What's even more bizarre is that just now when Ye Qing was walking around and signing the bill, the angle of the phone changed so that Yuan Yuan accidentally saw the window.One of the curtains was open, and it was pitch black outside.

So, isn't Ye Qing in her own home?Not even in Haicheng?

When Ye Qing appeared in front of the screen again, she was back in the room again.But at this moment, she realized that Yuan Yuan might have found out.

Ye Qing bit his lip, looking at Yuan Yuan nervously and embarrassedly.

Just as she was about to speak, Yuan Yuan's trembling voice came over.

"Ye Qing... you can't... you're in City F?"

Although trembling, Ye Qing could tell that what Yuan Yuan suppressed was not panic, but intense joy.

She sighed helplessly, and quickly glanced at her shyly with downcast eyes: "It seems that my level of creating surprises is far worse than yours."

The author has something to say: "May I become the angel you love in fairy tales, open my hands and become wings to protect you" in the article is quoted from Guangliang's song "Fairy Tale".
