I want to send you red roses

According to Yu Tang, she said this last night because she was afraid that Duan Tingqi would have a fever in the middle of the night, and that she might not be able to sleep well because of the cold, but she had never heard that it could be credited for one night or the next day.

So it is also a cold, and I have already proved that I can sleep well last night, but I can't sleep well tonight... What does this mean?

Yu Tang glanced at her, and suddenly asked: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Duan Tingxi rolled his hands from Angela's head to her back, without raising her head, she said, "It's normal, it's not too hot to sleep, it's strangely cold."

A deep smile suddenly appeared on Yu Tang's face, and he looked at Duan Tingxi silently: "Well...didn't sleep well."

Xiao Duan always lied without integrity. Last night he slept soundly, his hands were warm, and he was sneaked into the bedroom in the middle of the night without waking up.

But because Yu Tang was very calm, Duan Tingxi didn't realize what was wrong yet, and after hugging Angela for a while, he let her go back to old man Duan, and took Yu Tang upstairs by himself.

Duan Tingqi's bedroom here is much more refined than at home, and it is connected to the corresponding glass balcony and study.After Yu Tang glanced roughly, Duan Tingxi found her pajamas and motioned her to take a bath first, "Aunt Lin should have prepared all the things you need just now, go in and have a look for yourself."

She didn't intentionally bully Yu Tang and looked for something that was hollowed out, silk, faintly visible... there was no need.It's useless to look at some things when you don't wait to like them equally, and you don't really want to.

Yu Tang took the clothes and went into the bathroom. When she came out, Ting Xi also came in from the outside. Her hair was half dry. She didn't know where she went to take a shower at the same time. But as she approached, it seemed that there was a faint simultaneous attack. Plum blossom fragrance.

"Change the perfume?" Yu Tang tilted his head and looked at her. Duan Tingxi's skin is actually very fair and delicate, revealing an ivory-like texture under the light.

Duan Tingxi paused, turned her gaze to the window, "It's not my perfume." She then walked to the window and waved to Yu Tang, "Come here."

The window of the bedroom is close to the small north courtyard below, and several plum trees have been planted. Based on the normal time, the plum blossoms should not have bloomed yet.

Duan Tingxi and Yu Tang stood side by side in front of the window, looking from top to bottom on those flowering branches and said: "This is Zhangtai ancient plum, the flowering period is early and long, and it can keep budding until the end of the year, and bloom through the beginning of spring."

For some reason, after she finished speaking, she added: "And the fragrance is the most fragrant when it's in bud."

Yu Tang immediately turned his head to look at her, nodded, "It really smells good, I thought it was you who changed the perfume."

Duan Tingxi's eyelids were half-lifted, and he quickly turned back: "I wear perfume in the middle of the night, and no one appreciates it."

Yu Tang: "..."

As long as the atmosphere starts to become ambiguous, there will be [-] interpretations for any sentence.

So Yu Tang quickly turned his attention back to those plum trees, as if he was very interested, he didn't know if his hands were itchy again or he wanted to get closer to smell the fragrance, he seemed a little eager to jump directly from the window.

Duan Tingxi stopped her with one sentence: "Do you like it?"

Of course, Yu Tang nodded, "I like it."

According to her shallow understanding, there should be no plum tree species with such a long flowering period on the market today, and its floral fragrance is indeed very attractive, light and fragrant, refreshing.If it is not an improved variety, but an ancient tree that has survived, it should be very rare and precious.

"It's not expensive. When something is not for sale, it has no price." Duan Tingxi said casually, and calmly turned to Yu Tang and asked, "Do you want it? This is our family's ancestral daughter-in-law tree. It can be used to 'boil plums with warm wine', and it will be used as a wedding wine when you get married."

Yu Tang: "..." This is really "expensive".

After a slight movement in her heart, she and Duan Tingxi looked at each other quietly for a moment, and chose a compromise to change the subject casually: "Is it true that it was passed down from the ancestors?"

Duan Tingqi took her subtle expressions and movements into his eyes: "Fake, you still believe this."

Yu Tang: "..."

Duan Tingxi turned back, raised his hand to close the window: "If you like, leave half of the window at night."

Yu Tang looked at her quiet profile, "Although there is no wind, it might be cold if you open the windows at night."

"You sleep on the side by the window, just to get some air." Duan Tingxi arranged the position succinctly and clearly, and turned to look at her, "I haven't gone to bed yet."

"..." Yu Tang actually felt a little psychologically relaxed and adapted after going upstairs, but Duan Tingxi always seemed to be okay.

However, the more she behaved like this, the more Yu Tang felt that this person must be just like her, a "paper tiger" at best.

Sure enough, although Duan Tingxi didn't make a bed and two quilts, he slept quietly on one side after he lay down. He closed his eyes without saying or doing any unnecessary movements. When he caught a cold, his whole body People are really nice and gentle.

And she seems to have been meticulously wandering above the line of proportions in a natural way, pinching everything to a just right scale, neither unfamiliar nor dense.

It's really hard for people to think too much about her for such a person.

Yu Tang didn't fall asleep for a long time, and didn't dare to turn over casually. In the hazy darkness, he quietly felt Duan Tingxi's very light breathing, and her scent mixed with plum blossoms.But I don't know how long it took, Duan Tingxi turned slightly as if he was not asleep.

"Is it cold?" Yu Tang tilted his head slightly, turned sideways, and finally couldn't help but probe Duan Tingxi's forehead and hands.When they are in the same bed, the meaning of this kind of movement seems to be much more sensitive, making people afraid to "act rashly".And she was just asking casually, but she didn't expect that Duan Tingxi's hands were really cold, and her forehead was also a little cold, it seemed that she didn't have the heat of sleep.

"..." So what's the matter with this person, his hands and feet can automatically control the temperature.

Hearing Yu Tang's words, Duan Tingxi opened his eyes a little, then quickly closed them again, and said in a low voice, "A little bit, not too fast asleep."

Her head was hooked so low that it almost fell on the edge of the pillow and quilt. After warming her hands, Yu Tang finally adjusted her posture with small movements, opened her arms and said softly, "Come here, let me hug you."

Duan Tingxi seemed to be opening his eyes in the dark, and quietly looked at the person in front of him for a while, but Yu Tang turned his back to the backlight, so he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, so he blurted out and whispered: "Don't worry too much. I think, Jiang Li and I have slept like this many times since we were young, and..." The end of her eyes twitched very thinly, "Anyway, you have what I have 14 years ago, it's nothing."

To this day, Duan Tingxi seems to be completely immune to her "talk style". He closed his eyes again without saying anything, and nestled obediently into Yu Tang's arms, with his head wrapped around her neck and The staggered position of the shoulder sockets.

Yu Tang is actually a very hardworking and clean person, and there is always a layer of mountain mist on his body, which is warm and delicate.Duan Tingxi slightly adjusted his posture a few times, and in the end, his hand, which had no place to rest, chose to pinch the corner of Yu Tang's clothes.

Due to a cold these days, she has been a little tired and doesn't talk much. She should be sleepy very quickly, but Yu Tang hugged her for a long time, and she still felt that the person in her arms was not asleep, and even Duan Tingxi's breathing and the slight heartbeat There was no regularity, so she whispered in her ear: "Have you been sleeping alone since childhood?"

This person may be reluctant to go to bed early, so he has been quietly awake with his eyes closed.

Duan Tingxi first closed his eyes and hummed, and then said: "Before I was seven or eight years old, my mother liked to hug me to sleep on their bed, but I didn't like to sleep with her." She hooked the corners of her mouth and said softly, " It smells like medicine."

Yu Tang also lowered his voice, "What happened next?"

"Later, my mother always sneaked into my room in the middle of the night and stole me into their bed while I was asleep. Then I smelled the smell of medicine and ran back with my eyes closed. Once half asleep and half awake, I used the window as a door I stepped into the drain under the window and fell with a loud thud. I lived on the first floor at that time, so it was no big deal, but after that my mother didn’t dare to steal me from her in the middle of the night.”

"You are really..." A smile appeared in Yu Tang's eyes, and he touched the head in his arms lightly twice, "After that, what do you do when you usually sleep alone and don't feel hot?"

Duan Tingxi: "Turn around yourself."

Her voice was getting lower and lower, but what she said still seemed a little aggrieved.Yu Tang lowered his head, and gradually slowed down his speaking speed, coaxing her to chat for a while.It wasn't until Duan Tingxi fell asleep completely and stopped talking to her that he touched her hair. After thinking silently for a long time, he closed his eyes.

The next day was a sunny day, the sun was very bright.

Yu Tang's living habits have always been good, and he usually wakes up before six o'clock in the morning, but today he woke up inexplicably and lay down for a while.Duan Tingqi was soft and fragrant, his head was still resting on the hollow of her shoulder, he couldn't see his face clearly, he was sleeping quietly.

It took Yu Tang a long time to react, he lightly let go of his hand, rolled to the edge, and turned over.

Is Duan Tingqi a soft pillow... Why is she still addicted to hugging?

The mattress bounced up slightly, Yu Tang used to be light-footed, but now he realized that Duan Tingxi seemed to be sleeping very soundly, anyway normal movements would not wake him up.

Just didn't know why the corners of his clothes were wrinkled, so Yu Tang lowered his head for a second look, then tugged casually, and went into the bathroom.

Duan Tingxi didn't sleep much, and woke up around eight o'clock. Yu Tang had already gone downstairs to help Aunt Lin make breakfast, and was not in the room.But she stuffed two warm water bags into Duan Tingqi's arms and feet, and wrapped them in a fluffy coat.

There was no such thing at home before, so it should be Yu Tang who got up early in the morning to buy it somewhere.

This person's mind is really hard to tell, sometimes she is gentle and meticulous, considerate and unparalleled, and sometimes she has a ruler in her heart, measuring everyone around her, as if no one can really "get close" to her.

Duan Tingxi's eyes fell on the two warm water bags, and after lying in bed for a while, he got up.Her cold was still lukewarm, neither serious nor bad, Yu Tang tried it on her forehead eight times a day, wondering why she didn't have a fever.

"Your hands are warm, you can't try it." Duan Tingxi was wrapped in a rainbow blanket today and completely melted on the sofa. Angela melted with her in a very depraved way, begging to be touched.

"Huh?" Seeing her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Yu Tang peeled off an orange and asked with a smile, "Then how can the test be accurate? You don't have a thermometer in your hands."

Duan Tingqi raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just glanced at her, didn't say anything, and continued to lower his head to toss Angela's ears.At this moment, the shadow in front of him fell, Yu Tang leaned forward, put his forehead against her and tried it, and quickly moved away and said: "Is that so? My master used to try me so often. ... seems to be a little hot, dizzy?"

"...not dizzy." Duan Tingxi didn't expect her to be so caught off guard, so he didn't say anything else for a long time, and finally added indiscriminately: "I don't take medicine."

Yu Tang looked at her and smiled, and handed her the peeled orange, "If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it, eat this."

Duan Tingqi poked out his soft paws from the blanket, and gladly accepted the "tribute", but Yu Tang took his hand back again, looked at Angela and said, "You have to wash your hands."

"..." Duan Tingxi didn't want to move, so he thought about it, and when he decided not to eat, Yu Tang stretched out his hand again, "Okay, okay, open your mouth."

……

The two of them stayed for another day, Aunt Lin was full of enthusiasm, and in the evening she was holding on to Mr. Duan. The whole family was sitting on the sofa watching a comedy movie that wasn't funny at all. Duan Tingxi was so sleepy that his head fell straight down. .Yu Tang really wanted to laugh but couldn't bear it, finally brushed away Angela who loved to cling to her, and directly took Duan Tingxi upstairs with his half-armed and half-collared.

It's strange to say that Angela, a short-legged corgi, was clearly raised by Mr. Duan, but she doesn't kiss anyone, but especially clings to Yu Tang.

"Can I sleep hot by myself today?" After going to bed, Yu Tang leaned on the head of the bed and asked, it was only past eight o'clock, and she was still not sleepy, with a book in her hand.

Duan Tingxi opened and closed his eyelids, finally closed them, and said without energy, "I'll try."

It was strange to be reserved, Yu Tang didn't say anything, pulled the corner of the quilt for her, and opened the book in his hand.Jiang Li didn't bother her all day today, it seems that Su Yongyan hasn't been found yet, but nothing bad happened.

The lighting is soft and quiet, and the room is filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms floating in from the cracks in the windows.Until the book in Yu Tang's hand was half-turned, Duan Tingxi beside him turned his lower body lightly, and his face that was originally facing outside turned back.

Yu Tang tilted his head to look at her calmly, and Duan Tingxi said in a low voice, "Yu Tang, it seems that I'm not good at it."

Still not good enough, Yu Tang laughed quietly: "Huh?"

Duan Tingxi said, "It's not too hot to sleep."

When she said this, her eyes were still closed, she looked quite pitiful, weak and helpless, Yu Tang curled the corners of her mouth silently, put the book beside the pillow, and lay down.Duan Tingxi was very conscious, and quickly took a snapshot of last night's posture and nestled over.

In fact, Yu Tang warmed up the side where she slept before going to bed, and kept the warm water bottle beside her all the time.But this person is really powerful, his hands and body are really cold.

After Yu Tang held her warm for a while, Duan Tingxi said, "Yu Tang, the lights are on."

After realizing that Yu Tang was about to get up, Duan Tingxi said again: "I'll do it."

All she said was that she stretched out a hand and took out a small piece of paper out of nowhere. After twitching twice, she raised her finger and flicked it, and the light went out.

It was pitch black in front of him, Duan Tingxi found a comfortable position, put the tip of his nose precisely on Yu Tang's collarbone, and said, "Good night."

"……Good night."

……

On the third day, Duan Tingxi still had no intention of going home, and started his "sofa practice" early in the morning. In fact, the company had some problems to deal with in the past two days, and Mr. Duan took over.

Duan Tingqi is no different from ordinary office workers when he wants to work. He can turn from eight to eleven, seven days a week.But when she doesn't want to do something, it seems that she doesn't have the "skill" of work at all, and she won't do it no matter how much you persuade her.

Old man Duan was forced to "be superior" even though he was an old man. After the routine report on the weekend, he insisted on calling Duan Tingqi to go to the study.But this person just dawdled and didn't want to move, and eye contact didn't work, so he simply lowered his eyes and sniffed, without even raising his head.

Yu Tang asked her: "Jiojio cold?"

Duan Tingxi couldn't help lowering his head and laughing, and quickly returned to seriousness, but he still couldn't move the nest.

Yu Tang watched her turn a deaf ear to her for a while, and after she was still lingering on the sofa unwilling to get off, she suddenly tugged at the collar of her blanket and said, "Go quickly, help grandpa with something, I'll bake you a little cake today." cake."

Duan Tingxi finally raised his head with interest, and blinked slowly, as if he was weighing the truth of this sentence.

Yu Tang has been familiar with her appearance for the past two days, and couldn't help touching her with a smile, "Really, I have a pastry chef certificate, and I just took the test before."

"Deal." Duan Tingxi seemed very satisfied. After thinking about it, he obediently got up and went to the study on the second floor.

The deal was still done, Yu Tang laughed, went into the kitchen and asked Aunt Lin for cake mix and ingredients.

Old Man Duan, who had been working for a long time, took off his glasses, took a rare cool look at Duan Tingxi, and handed her some documents.Duan Tingxi was still slouching all over, and huddled on the sofa in the study, she thought the chair was too hard.

"This year is almost at the end of the year, and only three-fifths of the original 'corporate charity amount' has been spent. What's going on?" Mr. Duan cut to the chase.

"Today is a small financial year. The company's welfare system and meal subsidies have each increased by three percentage points, and the net working capital has shrunk. Except for the strong typhoon in the south, there are no major disasters this year. I think this part of the expenditure can also be bundled for three years. For a quarter, be flexible, and don't have to budget every year, otherwise you will feel 'tired' in terms of effect, double the expenditure, and the effect will be discounted." Duan Tingqi flipped through it casually, and put a folder aside.

Basically, large companies have special "charity expenditures" every year, and the use of this part is very spiritual.So after thinking for a while, Mr. Duan nodded his head in approval.

Duan Tingxi opened the next document, looked up for a while and said, "What does this policy mean? It won't benefit you in the long run or in the short term." She thought for a while, "Why do you want to do this? It can create more jobs. ?”

Old man Duan has lived to this age, and he has no intention of talking about many things. Duan Tingxi was taught by him, so he understands everything, so he just hummed: "Everything is the same, some people who sit on chairs just want to do it. It’s a good thing, but if it’s too idealistic and can’t be unfolded, let’s adjust the thread first.”

The adjustment line refers to the "per capita line". It wants to increase the employment rate, so it wants to pass some soft regulations to allow companies to provide more jobs and recruit more people. However, this part of the expenditure cannot be generated out of thin air, and the total budget is so much. , will not change, there are more elements, and there will naturally be less shares shared by everyone, and there will naturally be more corresponding methods in the following aspects. In short, performance will not come in vain, and economics has its own laws.

Duan Tingxi put down the folder and picked up another one. In fact, her views on some issues were very different from those of Mr. Duan, so she did not choose to take over the company, but Mr. Duan still left this "guarding power" to She is sometimes like an obsession, but also like a kind of inheritance.

So without talking about business for a long time, Duan Tingqi fell asleep on the sofa without paying attention. After looking up for a while, Mr. Duan didn't call her. I took back the things I just handed over, and slowly made them myself.

Downstairs, Yu Tang has already baked a delicious cake. She is good-natured and has a good temper. In fact, she is very popular with the elders. She made Aunt Lin laugh so much. After the cake was finally baked and waited for a while, Aunt Lin raised her head and looked at the two. Lou said: "It doesn't taste good when it's cold. As usual, the father and the father have almost taken care of things. Sometimes they are chatting, so you go up and shout."

Yu Tang responded and went upstairs, but according to her hearing, it was inevitable that she could hear some conversations before she got close to the door, which was not appropriate.But Aunt Lin is getting old, it's not appropriate to let her go upstairs, so Yu Tang subconsciously walks lightly as he walks.

And Duan Tingxi may have done it on purpose, purely to get into the study to mess with Yu Tang's cake, so he "pinched" old man Duan to deal with the matter and woke up by himself, and then received the old man Duan who was originally padded behind his waist. The pillow that was thrown over at this moment.

"You're so old, you have a really big temper." Duan Tingxi stretched out his hand, and after pushing the pillow to the ground alone, he changed his position and tilted his head again.

Old Man Duan was a little annoyed: "Come over early next week."

"I still don't get better from the cold next week." Duan Tingxi said nonsense casually, and said very disapprovingly: "You can give some things to Yu Tang, Yu Tang has a doctorate degree, so he can do it completely."

Mr. Duan paused. Although he could see the relationship between these two people, he was not as naive as Aunt Lin. He said with a little deep meaning: "You haven't planned it yourself, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Duan Tingxi didn't explain much to him, just took a piece of paper to wipe his nose, and expressed his position very concisely and generously: "Sooner or later."

"..."

When Yu Tang at the door heard this, her footsteps, which had been intentionally landing silently, stopped abruptly, and after falling in the air for two seconds, she sneaked down against the wall as she had come up.

Old Man Duan sat behind the table and looked at Duan Tingqi for a long time before finally laughing.

Male elders with his personality are more restrained than female elders, and they don't nag when they get old. If Duan Tingqi's grandma is still around, maybe he will teach her something right now.

And although Duan Tingxi was brought up by Mr. Duan and taught her a lot, Mr. Duan is not familiar with this kind of thing. When he was young, he was easy-going, diligent and active, and it was natural for Duan Tingxi's grandma. Together, even in getting along, Duan Tingxi's grandma will be more active.

But seeing her like this now, Mr. Duan took the initiative to tell her about Master Yu Tang: "Ye Wei didn't die in the fire in the explosion. In fact, there was a very sharp knife on his neck, which had cut his throat open." bone."

Duan Tingxi suddenly sat up a little bit, waiting for old man Duan to continue, but the old man stopped talking.So Duan Tingxi thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Then this is murder, does Yu Tang know?"

"Of course I know. After getting along for so long, you still think of her as a person whose life is erratic. If she is really confused, she may not have been chasing after the past few years. They are silent in front of people."

Old Man Duan changed the topic and said, "Everyone knows if the knife is in the throat. As long as it is not clear who inflicted the knife on her master's neck, it is not conclusive whether the thirteen uncles she died in the explosion were innocently implicated by it." , Yu Tang will never feel better in this life, you really may not be able to keep her, I just tried my best to give her a temporary place to stay."

Duan Tingxi didn't say a word for a long time, and finally old man Duan stood up and patted her, "Yu Tang is held by affection, if you really have heart, why don't you believe that you can hold her with affection."

After Duan Ting paused for a moment, he looked up at Old Man Duan for a moment, and hummed softly.

When they went downstairs, Yu Tang didn't know what he was doing in the kitchen. With his back to the living room, he looked busy and gentle, but it was Aunt Lin who came out with a big plate and said, "You two just now What are you busy with, Tangtang went up and shouted for a long time, and then came down, it was cold."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the three remaining members of the family suddenly changed.Old Man Duan was just thinking that his ears might not be working very well, and at the same time, he glanced at the kitchen, thinking that Yu Tang was good at it.

Duan Tingxi's eyes fell on Yu Tang's calm back for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked into the kitchen.
