warm winter

In the end, Ye Qing didn't ask Jian Xinhe anything, and she didn't expect much at first.It was only at dinner that I saw Jian Xin and his expression were obviously different, so I wanted to test it out.

Although Jian Xinhe didn't say anything, it was precisely what she said that nothing happened that convinced Ye Qing that Yuan Yuan's abnormality recently was by no means accidental.But she is not an aggressive person, and Jian Xinhe is clearly covering up for Yuan Yuan. If she insists on asking, she will break up badly and will not get a real answer.

After returning home, Ye Qing waited for a while, and Yuan Yuan came back near eleven o'clock.Turning on the light and seeing her waiting for him, Yuan Yuan paused for a moment, then raised a smiling face, walked over and gave her a sweet kiss.

During the lingering time, Yuan Yuan said vaguely: "I told you, don't wait for me, go to bed early."

Ye Qing ignored her, but hugged her back tightly, making their lips fit perfectly.

After kissing deeply for a while, Yuan Yuan let go of her, sat on the sofa with her arms around her, and tidied her hair scattered on her shoulders to her back.

"Are you happy going to Zhilan's house to eat hot pot today?" Yuan Yuan's tone was normal, as if a couple who hadn't seen each other for a day communicated after returning home.

Ye Qing nodded: "Very good, Xinhe is here."

Yuan Yuan was a little surprised when she heard her mention Jian Xinhe, but quickly recovered.

"I didn't expect Xinhe to be so familiar with Zhilan now."

Ye Qing recalled Jiang Zhilan's appearance at that time, and couldn't help but agree with him: "I didn't expect that either."

Yuan Yuan rubbed his belly and muttered: "I didn't eat supper tonight, I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat at home?"

Ye Qing couldn't help but glared at her, but immediately got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'm hungry and I don't know how to buy something to eat on the way. If you tell me earlier, I can buy it for you."

Ye Qing opened the refrigerator and looked at the quick-frozen food, it seemed that only dumplings and wontons were left.They ate for several days in a row and got a little tired.

She took out two eggs and sighed softly: "Let me cook noodles for you, add two eggs, and eat."

Yuan Yuan leaned over with a smile, put his hands on Ye Qing's waist, and wanted to take over the work from her.

Ye Qing raised her hand to avoid it, and looked sideways: "What are you doing?"

"I can cook it myself. Cooking noodles is very simple, I know how to do it." Yuan Yuan was reluctant to let Ye Qing still work for her at such a late hour, she didn't want Ye Qing to stay up late with her.

Ye Qing has already moved, poured pure water into the pot, turned on the stove, and put the eggs into the frying pan, Yuan Yuan likes to eat poached eggs.

"I'm still on vacation right now, and you are the one who is busy." Ye Qing focused on the movements of his hands, with a calm tone.

Yuan Yuan stood behind her, watching quietly.

"Besides, I'm very happy to be able to cook for you." Ye Qing's voice was very clear and attractive in the silent kitchen.

Yuan Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he was indescribably moved.

The hand she put on Ye Qing's waist exerted a little force and pinched it, and the soft waist gave her an indescribably beautiful touch.Ye Qing's breathing became heavier, so she had to move her position to get rid of this annoying "disturbance".

Yuan Yuan leaned her head on Ye Qing's shoulder, and licked her earlobe a little, which made Ye Qing tremble all over.

"Yuan Yuan, don't make trouble." These words were without force, Yuan Yuan now knew that the earlobe was the switch for Ye Qing to change, and after being touched, Ye Qing would gradually soften into water.

The water in the pot was half boiled, Ye Qing put half a handful of noodles into the pot, not daring to put too much, for fear that it would not be easy to digest at night.There were two golden poached eggs sizzling in the frying pan, Yuan Yuan was drooling watching it.

Knowing that she was really hungry, Ye Qing quickened the movement of her hand, and asked her to go out softly: "Go and wait, it will be ready soon."

Yuan Yuan refused and insisted on accompanying Ye Qing.

"You are cooking noodles for me, how can I just sit and wait to eat like an old man."

Ye Qing laughed: "Where did I learn these rhetoric?"

Yuan Yuan pouted: "That's what it is. Relationships need to be paid and maintained by both parties. I need to know how to be grateful."

Ye Qing pursed her lips, her expression restrained.She took the noodles out of the pot, poured them into a bowl, added seasonings, and finally put the poached eggs on top.

"These are all ordinary things, we don't need to be so clear about it."

The tone is as flat as talking about the weather today, or which bread is on sale at the bakery downstairs.

Yuan Yuan scrambled to serve the bowl, and before leaving, she leaned close to Ye Qing's ear and whispered, "You eat for me, and I'll feed you for dinner too, okay?"

Ye Qing's footsteps behind her faltered, and the roots of his ears burned quickly.After confessing their thoughts to Yuan Yuan, the frequency between them has indeed decreased, but it has not stopped completely.

After all, we are in love, and when the love is strong, it is naturally like a prairie fire, which can be ignited at the touch of a touch.

Yuan Yuan also took Ye Qing's body into consideration, and would not ask for too many times in one night, and accepted as soon as it was good, so they can be said to be more and more harmonious in this matter.

But what still differs so far is on the matter of each other.Yuan Yuan always felt that Ye Qing was worried, so she never did the same thing to herself, but she clearly expressed several times that she was willing and eager.

But Ye Qing always touched her face lovingly, and said tenderly: "Wait a little longer."

Yuan Yuan wanted to ask when she would wait, but seeing the affection and forbearance in Ye Qing's eyes, she couldn't bear it, and didn't dare to ask for an answer.Probably because he was afraid that Ye Qing would be in trouble, and that he would push her into a hurry, and instead make this kind of thing lose its original intention.

It is only natural for two people to please each other and please each other. Yuan Yuan believes in her relationship with Ye Qing, and also in Ye Qing's heart for herself.So she was willing to wait until the day when Ye Qing no longer had any worries, she would dedicate herself completely to please Ye Qing to her heart's content.

It's just that it's very interesting to seize the opportunity to tease Ye Qing, anyway, the last person to eat is himself, whether it's at the dining table or on the bed.Yuan Yuan's mood improved, and he ate the noodles with great gulp, Ye Qing also felt happy looking at it.

Ye Qing naturally wouldn't respond to what she said just now, and she didn't mention it anymore, as if Yuan Yuan hadn't said it at all, but the reddish cheeks still gave away her thoughts.Yuan Yuan peeked at her and saw that Ye Qing ignored her, so she concentrated on eating noodles.

When he was almost done eating, Ye Qing suddenly said, "I've been busy with homework recently, or am I making up for the courses that I missed in the hospital?"

Yuan Yuan paused, and said, "There are all of them."

Ye Qing glanced at her inadvertently: "I heard from Xinhe today that the first two years of business school are under a lot of academic pressure, and you were delayed for a while because of hospitalization, I'm afraid you're too tired."

Yuan Yuan didn't understand, so she looked at her: "Huh?"

"So are you considering delaying your graduation?"

Yuan Yuan refused without thinking, shaking his head repeatedly.

"I don't want to postpone my graduation. I wish I could graduate early. How can I delay it?"

Ye Qing looked at the light dark circles under her eyes and her haggard face, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel distressed.

"Yuan Yuan, I know what you're thinking, but I don't want you to push yourself too hard."

Yuan Yuan put down his chopsticks and reached out to shake Ye Qing's hand.

"I didn't push myself, and it's not entirely because of you that I want to graduate early. I caused the hospitalization myself, and of course I have to bear the consequences. So don't have a psychological burden, I'm not tired."

Ye Qing took a deep look at her, moved her lips, but said nothing.

Yuan Yuan comforted her with a smile: "But you have to understand that I spend less time with you."

"Am I the one who cares about these things?"

"Of course you are not. But I read online that people in love always want to be together every minute. Sometimes I think I am more clingy to you."

Ye Qing's enthusiasm is much more obvious than before, but it is only limited to the intimate moments.Probably because of her personality, most of the time Ye Qing was calm and reserved, and because of her age, it was difficult for her to act like a little girl in front of Yuan Yuan.

After finishing speaking, Yuan Yuan took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash without waiting for Ye Qing's response.She can't let Ye Qing make supper for her and clean up for her. Yuan Yuan firmly believes that all relationships need two-way pay.

As long as she can do it, she hopes to do more for Ye Qing.

Yuan Yuan did his homework for a while before taking a shower and going to bed, Ye Qing looked at the time in a daze, it was almost two o'clock.On the second day, Yuan Yuan had class in the morning, and the alarm clock rang at 07:30.

Ye Qing also woke up, but Yuan Yuan didn't let her get up, held her down and kissed her forehead.

"Don't get up, I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast to take to school, you sleep more."

After Yuan Yuan washed up, he hurried out.Ye Qing lay on the bed and blinked, feeling sleepy, but decided not to sleep anymore.As a top academic figure, Ye Qing knows what it's like to be busy with studies, but Yuan Yuan's appearance is obviously abnormal.

Although Yuan Yuan's grades are not as good as hers, they are definitely not bad, and Yuan Yuan is very smart, as long as she puts her mind on her studies, she doesn't need to work so hard.So during this period of time when she left early and returned late, there must be other things taking up her time. Ye Qing tried it last night, but Yuan Yuan obviously didn't intend to confess.

Ye Qing never likes to inquire about other people's private affairs, even if it is a close person, as long as the other party does not tell, she will not take the initiative to ask.It was as if she had noticed the change in the relationship between Jiang Zhilan and Jian Xin, but she was only thinking about it in her heart and would not ask Jiang Zhilan directly.

But Yuan Yuan is different. They are lovers now, they eat and live together every day, they sleep in the same bed every night, and they are people who will walk a long journey of life hand in hand in the future.Ye Qing asked himself that he couldn't do nothing without asking, and when encountering Yuan Yuan in everything, the previous principles seemed to be easily changed.

Yuan Yuan didn't seem to know about Ye Qing's suspicion, he still left early and returned late, busy.Taking advantage of the rest, Jiang Zhilan made appointments with Ye Qing several times.After drinking afternoon tea with Jiang Zhilan that day, Ye Qing decided to go to the business school to wait for Yuan Yuan to finish class.

Yuan Yuan's class schedule was posted at home, Ye Qing knew that she had two classes this afternoon.I asked her yesterday, there is a group discussion after class, but the end time will not be too late, most likely I can go home for dinner.

Ye Qing went to the business school alone, the scenery here is still the same, not much changed from the last time she came.For this century-old prestigious school, the biggest feature seems to be unchanged. She waited quietly outside the teaching building, sent Yuan Yuan a WeChat message, and then walked casually.

About half an hour later, Yuan Yuan's message came back.

"Why did you come to school? I'm in the classroom, do you want to come?"

Ye Qing quickly replied to her: "Is it convenient?"

"No inconvenience, I'm in B402."

Yuan Yuan should be discussing with her classmates while sending her a message, the words are concise and there is no emoji.But the words were familiar and casual, which made Ye Qing's heart a little more at ease.

Students came out of the teaching building one after another, Ye Qing walked in the opposite direction, stepped on the wooden stairs and found B402.It has been a while since get out of class ended, except for the students who stayed to discuss homework, everyone else has almost left.

Ye Qing pushed open the door and saw about three or four tables with people sitting around it.They are all youthful faces, with all kinds of skin tones, but all with focused expressions, and a laptop computer is placed in front of everyone.

Before everyone noticed her, Yuan Yuan stood up first and walked over with a smile.Before reaching her, he stretched out his hand towards her.

Ye Qing followed her habit and handed her her hand, and Yuan Yuan held her tightly in the next second.

Fingers intertwined, faces full of joy, this way of holding hands, standing side by side like this, it is obviously untenable to say that they are ordinary friends.There was a sudden burst of laughter in the classroom, but it was not malicious.

Someone asked Yuan Yuan, who is this oriental beauty?

Yuan Yuan raised his chin, raised their intertwined hands, shook them a few times in front of everyone, and announced loudly: "She'smygirlfriend."

Wow...

The answer was obviously within everyone's expectations, but it still inevitably caused a few close classmates to laugh.Those few people are students in the same group of this course, some are from Hong Kong, some are from South Africa, and two are from the United States.Usually, Yuan Yuan was in a hurry to go home when the discussion was very late. At first, everyone didn't know the situation and laughed at her for wanting to be lazy.

Later, Yuan Yuan was so angry that he said angrily that it was because he didn't want his girlfriend to wait too long.The later she went home, the later her girlfriend waited, she couldn't bear it.So she would rather take the homework home and finish the part that needs to be discussed as soon as possible.

Now everyone has finally met the person who made Yuan Yuan return his heart like an arrow, and it really is dazzlingly beautiful.Although there is an obvious age difference, this combination is much more tolerant in the United States than in China.Everyone's focus was still on the couple themselves, Ye Qing bit his lip, a little unnatural for such a scene, but he didn't avoid it.

I don't know who called out "beauty" at this time, Yuan Yuan feigned anger and pretended to fight the opponent.

"She'smine!" declared sovereignty again, without giving others a chance.

The corners of Ye Qing's mouth curled up, and he looked at the people around him affectionately.She originally thought that their love was to be hidden behind the sun, but she never thought that Yuan Yuan would inadvertently let it appear in front of others.

Today's discussion is not much, and when Ye Qing came, it had already come to an end.His girlfriend came here in person, no matter how unkind the students were, they would not drag Yuan Yuan down, saying that she could write her homework later tonight.Then, while everyone was watching with deep meaning, Ye Qing was led away by Yuan Yuan again.

From the classroom to the time he walked out of the teaching building, Yuan Yuan never let go of his hand.Ye Qing visits her from time to time, but Yuan Yuan doesn't.She just kept looking ahead, but the smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her mood.

Ye Qing lowered her head and smiled slightly, it turned out that it was so joyful to be open to the public.

Just like this, Yuan Yuan took Ye Qing's hand and walked around the campus of B University Business School.Yuan Yuan wore a baseball jacket and carried a schoolbag on one shoulder. It was a typical American college student's attire.Ye Qing wore a half-length windbreaker, the color was slightly brighter than before, but it was still mature.The two of them are holding hands like this, but it doesn't make people feel awkward.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Yuan Yuan asked suddenly, since she had time today, she wanted to eat outside.

"what ever."

"Ye Qing. How can you always say casual. Casual is the most difficult choice, and you are making it difficult for me." Yuan Yuan deliberately made a pitiful expression, as if facing a difficult problem.

"Then what do you want to eat?" Ye Qing smiled and looked at her, wanting to reach out to touch her soft hair, but restrained because he was on campus.

Yuan Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, his eyes lit up: "There is a hamburger at the back door of our school that is very delicious."

Then she lacked confidence, and said tentatively, "Would you like to try it with me?"

Ye Qing has always disapproved of her always eating these junk foods, and it's okay to buy them a few times when she's hungry at school, but this time she officially brought Ye Qing there, the meaning is different.

"To be recommended by you like this is worth a visit."

Yuan Yuan was very happy, pulled Ye Qing, and walked quickly.

Ye Qing found that Yuan Yuan seemed to have forgotten something, and reminded her: "You go to the back door, do you want to tell them?"

"With whom?"

"Bodyguard and driver."

Yuan Yuan was startled, then shook his head with a smile: "Needless to say."

"Is this safe? Since they're waiting for you, it's better to say something."

The driver was waiting outside the school on time, and it was not convenient for the bodyguards to appear in the teaching building at close range.Yuan Yuan was going to eat hamburgers at the back door, which was obviously completely different from his usual activities.

Yuan Yuan looked at Ye Qing helplessly for a while, but was finally defeated.

She sighed and explained, "I don't have a driver or a bodyguard now, so I don't need to say hello to anyone."

Ye Qing was really shocked, when did this happen?It doesn't look like it just happened today, why never heard Yuan Yuan mention it.

"How could this be?" When Ye Qing asked this question, he already had a faint guess in his heart.

Yuan Yuan looked at her helplessly and affectionately, but obviously didn't want to say anything.

Ye Qing didn't give in this time, she stopped and held hands tightly, as if I wouldn't leave unless you made it clear.

Yuan Yuan looked up at the gradually sinking sky, and his voice became heavy.

"Dad found out about us, so he withdrew them all."

Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, the father and daughter had a showdown after all.

But soon she felt distressed. Since Yuan Honghao could do something to her, he shouldn't be kind to Yuan Yuan, right?

"What did your father say?" Ye Qing became more and more difficult to speak, and every time he said a word, the sadness in his heart became heavier.

Yuan Yuan regained a little bit of relief, and Ye Qing's intentions were comforting: "After Dad knew you were with me, he set the limit on my card. Later, seeing that I refused to give up, he sent the driver and bodyguard to the limit last week. They all withdrew."

Yuan Yuan even laughed while talking: "If you hadn't taken me in, I might not even have a place to live now."

"Ok?"

"The house that Aunt Liu and I lived in before, I always thought it was a long-term lease. It turns out that my father bought it long ago. He said that if I still persist in my obsession, he will let me move out from there, and I will not be allowed to live back in the future."

Ye Qing didn't expect Yuan Honghao to be so cruel, he could attack him, but Yuan Yuan is his daughter, how could he be like this!

"I'm sorry." Ye Qing could only say these three words after all, no amount of words could express her guilt.

Yuan Yuan let go of her hand, embraced her shoulders, and hugged her into his arms.

She put her chin on Ye Qing's forehead and sighed softly: "Why do you say sorry? You have never done anything wrong. If you really want to distinguish between right and wrong, it is my fault first. I liked you first, and I caused you You broke up with Dad, so Dad is right to blame me."

Ye Qing raised her eyes anxiously, wanting to tell Yuan Yuan that this is not the case.She never chose to give up Yuan Honghao because of Yuan Yuan, the only person she likes is Yuan Yuan!

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.Right now, the relationship between Yuan Yuan and Yuan Honghao is at an impasse. If she is told about her previous cooperative relationship with Yuan Honghao, it will only make things more complicated.

"Don't worry, I know what Dad wants to do, so I'm not worried."

Yuan Yuan's performance was unexpectedly calm and calm, even Ye Qing couldn't help but become curious.

"You know?" Ye Qing heard other meanings from Yuan Yuan's words, did Yuan Honghao have other plans?

Yuan Yuan explained to her quite confidently: "My father must think that if I have no money and no one to take care of me, I will not be able to take care of myself, and then I will be subdued and listen to him. Moreover, he also thinks that I have no money and no previous superiority." Material conditions, you will dislike me, and then leave me."

In the first half, Ye Qing also guessed it.But in the second half, she was surprised.She never thought that Yuan Yuan would think of this level. She always felt that Yuan Yuan's feelings for this were driven by passion, more instinctive passion than rational thinking.

The emotions in Ye Qing's eyes became complicated, but they were more gratified.For the first time, she felt that the stone that was pressing on her heart had been removed a lot, so that she could finally breathe easily.And the one who took the stone was none other than Yuan Yuan, whom she wanted to protect wholeheartedly.

"I don't want to engage in unnecessary arguments with my father. I want to prove with facts that my choice is not wrong, and our choice is not wrong."

Ye Qing hugged Yuan Yuan's waist back, leaned on her, and said softly but firmly: "I won't let you lose."

Ye Qing felt a soft kiss on her head, she didn't look up, but buried her face deeply in Yuan Yuan's arms.

The child she loved.Stronger, braver, and more mature than she thought.

It was the first time Ye Qing ate a delicious hamburger.Enduring her shyness, she sat with Yuan Yuan on the booth by the window in the fast food restaurant, taking a bite of the food that Yuan Yuan stuffed her from time to time, and she also had to accept the raid of being robbed of delicious food by Yuan Yuan.The two of them were like teenagers, fighting back and forth and having a lively dinner.

Without the driver, without the bodyguard, it was almost eight o'clock after eating the hamburger.Surrounded by twilight, Ye Qing disagreed with Yuan Yuan's idea of ​​going for a walk.

"Go home early, don't you still have homework to do?"

Yuan Yuan rubbed her stomach, feeling slightly regretful that she couldn't take a walk.But she observed the surrounding environment, looked at Ye Qing again, and decided to go home obediently.

It's really not safe to stay here any later, and Ye Qing is beside her.She can't let Ye Qing follow her into danger, protecting Ye Qing is her most important thing.

"Then let's go take a taxi." Yuan Yuan led Ye Qing to the main road in front of the school gate.

Ye Qing thought of another thing: "How did you go home before?"

The taxi fare at night here is very expensive, and Yuan Yuan must have spent a lot of money going home so late every day.

Yuan Yuan hesitated, his eyes dodged a little.

"Yuan Yuan." Ye Qing's voice was faint, but Yuan Yuan understood what she meant.

"After I say it, don't be unhappy."

Seeing how she was vaccinated in advance, Ye Qing suddenly wanted to laugh, but she held back.

"Am I like someone who is always unhappy?" Ye Qing doesn't want her lover to keep things from her, and she doesn't want her lover to be afraid of her.

"I usually take a classmate's car to a place near my home, and then walk back by myself. If my classmate is not on the way, I will trouble Xinhe and ask her driver to give me a ride."

Yuan Yuan did this purely to save money.

She now has to plan her monthly expenses.I didn't know it before, and I always felt that I didn't buy luxury goods and didn't spend a lot of money.After careful calculation, I realized that the monthly expenditure is not low.

Living together with Ye Qing now, Yuan Yuan always wanted to take on more responsibility.But Ye Qing insisted on paying half of the rent, so she thought she could pay more in other areas.

Ye Qing looked at Yuan Yuan and lowered his head after he finished speaking, like a child waiting for criticism, both helpless and distressed.

"You should have told me earlier that there is nothing embarrassing about it."

Yuan Yuan raised her eyes, calmed down her emotions, and said slowly: "I'm not embarrassed, I just feel sad. I'm sad that I can't give you a good life, I'm sad that I pursue you desperately, but after I chase you, I let you follow me Had a hard time."

In fact, their lives are not too bad now, and it is not uncommon for Ye Qing to experience worse days.But for Yuan Yuan, this is already a big gap.But it wasn't herself who was sad, but Ye Qing who was by her side.

After taking a taxi home, Yuan Yuan finished her homework and found that Ye Qing was still awake and had been waiting for her.She smiled and lifted the quilt, and the warm body next to her was pressed against her.

Ye Qing was very active tonight, Yuan Yuan didn't want to end for a long time, completely immersed in Ye Qing's gentle and charming style.She never thought that she would be so obsessed with a person, and Yuan Yuan never knew that she would be extremely obsessed with this kind of thing.

Ye Qing didn't wake up until almost noon the next day, Yuan Yuan had already left the house and left a note beside her, asking her to heat up the porridge before eating.Her back was so sore, but Ye Qing insisted on getting up, and she was going to start working again today.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your concern.
