I want to fall in love with you (end)

Ye Qingtang stared at the man across the tea table for half a minute.

　　She had just returned from the studio, and when she entered the door, the aunt who lived at home told her father, Ye Chengyin, that he had a guest in the tea room.

　　"Business partner?"

　　Auntie said no, as if she had come to talk about some tea culture studio.

　　With that said, Ye Qingtang knew.

　　Ye Chengyin is a successful tea merchant, and in the past two years, he suddenly moved his mind to build a non-profit tea culture museum and do some related publicity work.

　　Before Ye Qingtang went upstairs, he decided that he should still say hello to Ye Chengyin.

　　Turning to the door of the tea room, I saw a man sitting across the tea table.

　　He held an iPad in his hand and swiped the screen to explain to Ye Chengyin.

　　Pale yellow light fell on the white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a little old, like old moonlight.

　　He was looking down at the screen, a steep dividing line of light and shadow from the brow bone to the bridge of his nose. The eyes are hidden in the shadows, especially deep, as if something is lurking in the spring.

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned in the same place, the whistling sound of decay in his head, a title had reached his mouth, and he was swallowed back.

　　Looking at and discerning in a daze, he didn't look back for a while.

　　The man suddenly raised his eyes at this time, looking toward the door, obviously aware of her gaze.

　　The rest of the people in the tea room looked up or looked back.

　　Ye Chengyin said, "I'm back." ”

　　"Hmm." Ye Qingtang withdrew the gaze that had fallen on the man.

　　Ye Chengyin smiled and introduced himself to the crowd: "This is my girlfriend." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said hello.

　　"Have you eaten?" Ye Chengyin knew that Ye Qingtang's diet was not regular.

　　"Ate."

　　"I have guests here, and if you want to eat a late-night snack, you will ask your aunt to prepare it yourself."

　　"Leave me alone, you're busy with your own."

　　Ye Qingtang tucked the slipped canvas bag strap back to his shoulder, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but fall back on the man.

　　The man looked back, his eyes confused.

　　Ye Qingtang saw his amber eyes clearly, and he was momentarily lost.

　　It's still not exactly like that.

　　After taking a bath, Ye Qingtang changed his clothes and packed up the things he would use for his business trip tomorrow morning.

　　She squatted on the wooden floor and put a change of clothes into the aluminum suitcase, but the action stopped unconsciously.

　　In a moment, I closed my suitcase, got up, took out a short blond knit coat from the closet and draped it, pulled my fluffy hair out of the neckline, put on my slippers, and walked out the door.

　　Going downstairs, all the way to the door of the tea room, Ye Qingtang looked inside, and the position opposite the tea table was empty.

　　She held the hand on her arm, tapped her fingertips, and slowly glanced over the open guest bathroom door, the kitchen, the living room... Finally stop at the main gate.

　　Under the porch, the man stood there answering the phone with one hand, his body tall, and his lonely shadow was cut by the lamp of the corridor.

　　Ye Qingtang's heart was like a light mist of emotions.

　　When entering the tea room, Ye Chengyin turned his head and looked over: "Not ready to pack up?" Aren't you going on a business trip tomorrow morning? ”

　　"I'll sit in and listen, don't I get into confidentiality?" Ye Qingtang asked with a smile.

　　The answer was a young man with a typical science and engineering temperament who wore glasses and said that it was only at the stage of intention communication, and it was not yet time to involve confidentiality.

　　Ye Chengyin got up and moved a seat for Ye Qingtang, and even the others sitting around the tea table moved out with him.

　　Ye Qingtang sat down next to Ye Chengyin and picked up a stack of manuscript papers on the table, which seemed to be a fragmentary idea of a tea culture museum.

　　Ye Chengyin asked his daughter, "What do you think?" ”

　　"I don't count what I say."

　　Ye Chengyin smiled and said, "We are tired of talking, just take a break, and listen to what new ideas you have." ”

　　"Novel no, only the kind of leek cut, do you want to listen?" Ye Qingtang took out a blank piece of A4 paper, took a signature pen, and said while writing: "The main body of the museum supports the surrounding shopping malls, selling tea and cultural and creative products, and then opening a restaurant next to it..."

　　The voice stopped, because he sensed that the man who was calling had come in.

　　Ye Qingtang squeezed his pen and looked up, and the man went around behind his team and returned to the empty seat and sat down, sitting directly opposite her.

　　A breath passed, a faint smell of bitterness, like the taste of freshly roasted gem summer village coffee beans.

　　Ye Chengyin: "And then?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang replied, "Open a restaurant next to it, selling tea-themed meals, tea cakes, black tea hot pots and so on... If you build near the tea garden, you can also carry out the experience project of picking tea and roasting tea. ”

　　Ye Qingtang said and then brushed his pen, because he realized that his vulgar businessman's thinking was too ugly.

　　She looked up at the other side and smiled, "But I can think of it, you must have already thought about it, right?" ”

　　Ye Chengyin said: "Yes, we have already discussed a round. ”

　　Ye Qingtang glanced at the eyes of the man on the other side and took the opportunity to ask, "Haven't asked yet, your surname?" ”

　　The man smiled and said, "Your surname should be sent as you should be." ”

　　When I looked closely, I realized that this person was a deep peach blossom eye, and with a slight smile, it seemed very sentimental.

　　Ye Qingtang asked, "What is more convenient for you to call you?" ”

　　"You can call it whatever you want, Miss Ye."

　　"Teacher Ying is doing architectural design?"

　　"Yes."

　　"I have a friend who recently bought a house and wants to renovate it, so that it is convenient to leave a contact information?"

　　"Our studios generally don't take on residential designs." The call was answered by another person on the team, a baby-faced girl, who looked like a student, and she smiled, as if she was a little embarrassed, "and she hardly did the interior decoration." ”

　　"Sorry." Ye Qingtang laughed and said, "The layman has made a joke." ”

　　Ye Qingtang looked at Ying Ruyu again and asked with a smile: "Teacher Ying may know a reliable designer who does interior design?" ”

　　This set of "words" seems to be aimed at his WeChat, which should be sent as it is at this moment.

　　The young woman on the other side put her hands behind her cheeks and looked at him frankly.

　　A very fluffy dark chestnut long curly hair, fair skin on three or two points of light brown freckles, these freckles not only do not constitute blemishes, but add a bit of wild beauty.

　　She wears a cream satin slip dress and a buddy blue coat. Like a cloud of uncatchable spring smoke, green and green.

　　A girl who easily makes people feel good. But the main reason why Ying Ru did not refuse was that she was Ye Chengyin's daughter. It was hard for him to be sentimental about thinking she would have other ideas.

　　Ying Ru sent out a business card and handed it over, telling her that the phone number is the same as WeChat, and if necessary, he can recommend several peers to her.

　　Ye Qingtang's fingers coated with coffee-colored nail polish gently squeezed the business card, a line of pure black, white names, "should be sent", like a string of snowdrops in the night, very textured.

　　She smiled, propped her palms on the edge of the tea table, stood up, and said to Ye Chengyin, "I'll pack up my things." ”

　　-

　　The blinds should be drawn, and the afternoon sun is filtered, soft as the thin light of the frosted morning.

　　He picked up the picture book, shook off the fine pieces of eraser on it, and picked up the pencil again.

　　I drew two strokes, took the small tin box on the table, and was about to open it when there was a knock at the door.

　　"Please come in."

　　The assistant stood in the doorway, "Teacher Ying, is it time to leave?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "The car is ready?" ”

　　"Already waiting downstairs."

　　Ying Ru got up and picked up the thin coat on the back of the chair, "Then let's go." ”

　　Sun Miao and Yao Hui were already in the car, Yao Hui was driving, Sun Miao was sitting in the co-driver, and as usual, He left a vacant seat in the back seat for Ying Ru - their boss did not like to sit in the co-driver, and felt that the front seat was not comfortable enough.

　　It is said that Yao Hui and Sun Miao have been able to stand alone, but in the face of Ying Ruji, who is still like a student who has just entered the studio, he is afraid that the big guy will not be cold and casually spot checked, and he will not be able to answer.

　　Should be sent down not harshly, just laughed and said: "Sure? Go back and read the book. ”

　　That smile was even more maddening than a direct reprimand.

　　The car started and headed for the countryside. You should sit on your knees, flipping through a volume of technical information spread over your knees, and remembering something, "Xiao Sun." ”

　　Sun Miao hurriedly turned back, "What's wrong Teacher Ying?" ”

　　"Camera with you?"

　　"I brought it." If the camera had not been placed in the backpack for a while, Sun Miao would have liked to lift it up and call It safe to send.

　　Ying Ruyu nodded, "Go and take more photos." ”

　　This trip was at the invitation of Ye Chengyin to visit his tea garden to determine whether the intention of cooperation was finally reached.

　　An hour later arrived at the tea garden, Ye Chengyin was already waiting on the road into the garden.

　　Looking into the distance, the undulating hills, light green and deep daisy, planted with tea trees.

　　Ye Chengyin led them along the path with low fences on both sides, "I have prepared this year's new tea, you can taste it." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "No hurry. Lao Fuye always took us to see the land first. ”

　　Not far inside, a vacant lot on the gentle ramp is reserved for the Tea Culture Museum, covering an area of nearly 700 square meters.

　　Ying Ru sent two assistants to carefully and carefully conduct a preliminary survey, and then at ye Chengyin's invitation, he went to the tea room in the mountains.

　　The tea room is located on the hillside, a very scrawled bungalow, with a large wooden board as a tea table, which is not lacking in the style of local materials.

　　Ye Chengyin took the plug board over, connected the power of the induction cooker, and put the kettle to boil water.

　　The tea is freshly fried new tea, the tea soup is clear, and a piece of jasper is poured.

　　Drinking tea, Ye Chengyin seized the time to introduce his brand tea making technology to several people, "The first spring tea of the first stubble every year is the most expensive, and it is respected on those ancient trees, saying that it is one or two gold and one or two teas..."

　　"I said how no one in the house, it turned out that you secretly brought someone else to drink good tea."

　　A crisp sound came from the doorway.

　　You should turn your head and look at it.

　　Daughter of Ye Chengyin.

　　Long black slip dress, slouchy denim coat, twelve-hole high-top Martin boots, sunglasses hanging from the pockets of the denim jacket's chest. She seemed to appear out of thin air, with a vigorous and vivid breath.

　　Ye Chengyin was a little surprised: "Returned from a business trip?" ”

　　"Yes." Ye Qingtang walked in and sat down next to Ye Chengyin, "There is no one at home, Auntie said you came to the tea garden." ”

　　What the aunt said was that Ye Chengyin accompanied people to the tea garden to see the ground, so she guessed that it should be sent as well.

　　Ye Qingtang looked at the opposite side, the baby-faced girl, the typical science and engineering temperament of the boy wearing glasses, are all familiar faces.

　　Finally, his gaze fell on Ying Ruyu, who was sitting near the window.

　　He wears a soft white shirt, a metal watch on his wrist, and the cyan veins of the blood vessels on the back of his hands are clearly visible. Covered by tea smoke, the slightly bitter smell can still be faintly heard.

　　A man as clear as spring and bright as the moon.

　　She liked to see him not smiling, a little lazy with coldness.

　　And he is not smiling at the moment, overlapping with the shadow in his memory.

　　"Just got home and didn't stop for a while?"

　　Ye Qingtang replied, "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink your spring tea, which is more expensive than gold, later." ”

　　Ye Chengyin laughed, lifted the kettle, and poured Ye Qingtang a cup of tea.

　　The freshly boiled water, hot, still can't be entered, Ye Qingtang held his cheek with one hand, touched the rim of the white porcelain teacup with the other hand, looked at the man on the other side, but said to Ye Chengyin: "Dad, what are your dinner arrangements?" ”

　　Ye Chengyin looked at Ying Ruyu, "Please have dinner at night, this time you must not resign anymore." Restaurants I have booked, just nearby, a few steps away. ”

　　All said and done, should be sent as naturally can no longer refuse.

　　Ye Qingtang seemed to be dissatisfied, but the tone of his voice was all with his father: "What about me?"

　　"You go too?" Ye Chengyin knew that his daughter had always disliked mixing these social meals.

　　"Is it appropriate?" Ye Qingtang looked at Ying Ru and asked.

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Ye Zong invites guests, and we do as we please." ”

　　After drinking tea, the next item is to visit the workshop where the tea is fried.

　　Ye Chengyin led the way, followed by the three of them, and Ye Qingtang followed not far behind.

　　They passed a concrete clearing with a lush soap pod tree planted in the corner, a large black water tank with a round belly under the tree, and connected the water pipe. The water flows out along the rim of the tank, and the sink from the bamboo tube flows through the clearing and joins a small stream.

　　Ye Chengyin said: "There is mountain spring water, and it is said that the water in the mountains here can remove obscurity by washing your hands." ”

　　Sun Miao said busily, "I want to try." ”

　　Yao Hui also wanted to try, and Sun Miao handed the camera to Ying Ru, "Teacher Ying, please help take it." ”

　　The two men reached the water tank and took the wooden water scoop floating in the tank and washed their hands with water.

　　Sun Miao returned and took the camera in Ying Ru's hand.

　　Ying Ruyu was ready to continue to walk forward, and Ye Qingtang, who was not far away, spoke up, "Teacher Ying don't try?" ”

　　A sweet and crisp sound, like a flowering branch flicking across the cheek.

　　Ying Ruyu turned his head and dropped a glance on her face, "Of course. He smiled lightly.

　　He walked over to that side, not surprisingly, followed by footsteps in Martin's boots.

　　Ye Qingtang stood still in front of the water tank, reached out and grabbed the water scoop floating on the water, scooped a scoop of water, and handed it over.

　　She looked up at him, her eyes bright, and the emotions that were clear and extinguished were very attractive.

　　After a pause, immerse your hands in the water.

　　The spring water is cold and shiny, a little bit of bone.

　　After Quickly washing it, Ye Qingtang spilled the water in the scoop, scooped another scoop, handed the handle to him, and asked him to help hold it.

　　Should be sent to finally reach out and take it.

　　Ye Qingtang's ten fingers were coated with matcha colored nail polish, immersed in cool water, young white and new green, washed.

　　The sun and the shadows of the trees, everything crumbled in the water, swaying slightly.

　　She smiled and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Can I book your supper tonight?" ”

Chapter 2 -02- Your name sounds good

　　Ying Ru smiled politely and hardly hesitated, "Sorry, I don't have the habit of eating supper." ”

　　"Is that so?" Ye Qingtang smiled and withdrew his hand, gently shaking off the water on it, and his tone and expression did not see the embarrassment of being rejected.

　　Ying Ruyu spilled the water and threw the scoop back into the water tank.

　　The scoop swirled on the surface of the water, hit one side of the cylinder rim, turned, and continued to float down the current.

　　After visiting the tea workshop, it was time for dinner.

　　Ye Chengyin drove Ye Qingtang to lead the way in front, and should be followed by a car with three people.

　　The restaurant is in town, a small courtyard of a farmhouse fenced by bamboo fences.

　　Ye Chengyin booked the only big table in the backyard, the spring sun is good, the suburban air is good, the most suitable for eating outside.

　　Walking into the backyard, you will be greeted by a begonia tree in the corner, burning and burning, and look like a beautiful face under the lights.

　　Several people sat down, and Sun Miao hurriedly took the camera out of his backpack to take pictures.

　　Taking a few photos was always dissatisfied, holding the camera back, and finally retreated to Ye Qingtang's side.

　　Ye Qingtang glanced over and confirmed that her seat was the best angle to capture the panorama, so she took the initiative to say to Sun Miao: "Let me change seats with you?" ”

　　Ying Ru raised his eyes to the sound of sending a message—Sun Miao's original seat was on his left hand side.

　　Sun Miao felt embarrassed to cause trouble to people, Ye Qingtang smiled and said that it didn't matter, took his backpack and stood up.

　　Ye Qingtang sat down next to Ying Ruji and took off his denim jacket and put it on the back of the seat.

　　A section of the coat's sleeve brushed past his arm, and he glanced down at it and moved his arm on the table farther away.

　　Ye Chengyin had already ordered the dishes in advance and summoned the waiter to instruct him to serve the dishes.

　　The sterilized tableware was plastic sealed, and Ye Qingtang took the chopsticks to poke open a hole and slowly open it along the broken opening.

　　This caused a long strand of her hair to slip down her shoulders, and she brushed it casually; for a moment, it slid down again. She pulled off the black telephone cord hair ring that was on her wrist, grabbed her hair, and tied it casually.

　　The moment her hair was grabbed, she should smell a burst of aroma, coming from behind her ears, sweet and mixed with the strong smell of grass and trees, like a rainstorm in the tropical jungle.

　　Dishes on the table.

　　Yao Hui can't drink while driving, Sun Miao is a girl, Ye Chengyin asked someone to take a bottle of plum wine, saying that this degree is low, drink two drinks, meaning.

　　Ye Chengyin toasted several people, and after some false gifts, he sat down and moved the casserole containing bamboo sunsuckle soup in the direction of Ying Ruyu, laughing and saying: "Some rural tastes, I don't know if a few people are used to eating." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Ye Zong is polite." The last time was really because I had to travel on a business trip, and the time was not coincidental. Grandfather and Ye always have a few faces, and they have always been taken care of by Ye Zong, and I should have been the east. ”

　　Ye Chengyin said: "I heard that you have done similar projects in the past, and to be honest, it is indeed a bit abrupt to ask you to do duplicate designs. ”

　　"Architectural design does not repeat that even if it is a building with the same function, there will be essential differences in design and aesthetics due to differences in cultural landscapes, natural landscapes and subjective appeals." Ying Ru smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether or not the contract can be reached in the end, please rest assured, but as long as I take this case, I will definitely do my best." ”

　　Ye Qingtang took the chopsticks and rubbed the dried eggs in the small plate intently while silently observing what should be sent.

　　Compared with Ye Chengyin's businessman's habitual politeness, the attitude of Ying Ruyu is more inclined to the scholarly temperament of being in a moderate manner.

　　It seems that all these years as one of the founders of LAB Architects, he has not been able to become a businessman, and his external self-perception is still that of an architectural designer.

　　He has a sense of clarity, and the wine-colored wealth will not be soaked in half a point.

　　But his slightly drunken eyebrows are extremely affectionate, and the contradictions are fascinating.

　　Ye Qingtang's mood had cooled down for no reason.

　　He was a charming man, but not the kind of charming she wanted.

　　Would like to go back.

　　With the thoughts together, Ye Qingtang was ready to put it into action.

　　She moved her chair to the side and stood up.

　　Ying Ru sent a look, she smiled and said, "Lose your companion." ”

　　The restroom is at the other end, passing through a long open-air corridor.

　　Ye Qingtang washed his face with water, walked to the bottom of the corridor, silently blew the wind for a while, turned around and prepared to go back to the seat to take his coat and bag and leave.

　　At this moment, the bamboo door leading to the backyard was pushed open, and Ying Ru, who was holding a mobile phone, came out.

　　Ye Qingtang happened to be standing in the shadows, he probably didn't see her, took a few steps outside, stood by the pillar in the corridor, and answered the phone.

　　At the dinner table, Ye Qingtang noticed that the screen of the mobile phone that should be muted was frequently lit up, but he almost cut it off.

　　This time it is estimated that it is a call that cannot be shirked.

　　From Ye Qingtang's point of view, he could only see the side face of Ying Ruji.

　　Not knowing what the phone was about, he didn't smile, his expression was a little serious, he looked cold, refusing to be thousands of miles, the silhouette of the side face outlined by the dim light, there was a familiar ups and downs that made her palpitate.

　　Almost couldn't help but walk toward him.

　　You should turn around and look at it in doubt.

　　Ye Qingtang saw his face, suddenly woke up, and stopped.

　　I didn't get any closer, I didn't turn around and walk away, I just stood where I was.

　　Ying Ru sent a few words to finish talking about the phone, put away the mobile phone, looked at her and smiled and asked: "Miss Ye is looking for me?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang paused for a few seconds, smiled and said, "I didn't add your WeChat." ”

　　Ying Ru did not keep up with Ye Qingtang's jumping thinking, and considered for two seconds, "Miss Ye's friend has found the right designer?" ”

　　"No." Ye Qingtang said, "Ninety-nine percent of the Strangers' WeChat that I have added will end up lying down." ”

　　The remaining one percent would become a lifetime member on the blacklist after she had dated once or twice, she said in her heart.

　　Ying Ru thought about how to respond, ye Qingtang took another step closer.

　　Between them, there was only a distance of less than half a step.

　　Ye Qingtang looked into his amber eyes, and his sweet voice had a light sense of innocence: "Your name is very good, if you sink to the bottom of the list, I will feel sorry." ”

　　Ying Ruyu did not speak immediately, because the smile in her eyes was as clear as a declaration of war.

　　He smiled and looked unmoving, "Miss Ye's name is not bad." Is it Ye Zongqi? I heard that Mr. Ye was a middle school teacher before doing business. ”

　　At this time, the mention of her father cannot but be said to be a deliberate one.

　　Without waiting for her to say anything more, he raised his chin toward the backyard, "Go back?" The sweet soup is already on. ”

　　The two men took a half wrong step and walked back.

　　In the yellow light, a breath of sweet but not greasy aroma is faintly entangled, making people wonder what kind of dark vines are trying to parasitize.

　　Ying Ru was aware that Ye Qingtang's gaze was falling on him, but he never looked at her wrongly.

　　The two returned to the courtyard, and Ye Chengyin hurriedly waved and greeted, "Hurry up and sit down, the sweet soup should be cold in a while." ”

　　Ye Qingtang walked back to his seat, about to sit down, and saw that the coat he had put on the back of the chair did not know when it had landed on the ground.

　　Ying Ru sent almost conditioned reflexes, before she bent down and fished out her coat. Gentlemanly behavior out of instinct.

　　But when handing it to her, the two points seemed to be a hesitation of hindsight.

　　She took it with both hands and smiled as if unconsciously: "Thank you." ”

　　It was windy outside.

　　Ye Qingtang took the bowl to drink the soup, the branches and leaves above her head shook, and the begonia petals fell in clusters, just falling into the sweet soup she had just taken a sip.

　　"Ah." She threw the spoon back into the bowl, turned her head, and looked at Ying Ruyu.

　　Ying Ruyu was talking to Ye Chengyin, and Yu Guang glanced away.

　　She put the back of her hand on her cheek and looked at him from time to time, but did not interject.

　　Until the topic was picked up by Yao Hui, and he fell silent for a moment, she made a sound, not high or low, just so that he could only hear.

　　She gently pointed to the sweet soup in front of him that had not been touched, and asked with a smile, "Can I drink your bowl?" ”

　　Ying Ru paused for a long time, and Then Fang picked up the bowl in front of him and moved it to Ye Qingtang.

　　Ye Qingtang stared at him, smiling slyly, "I thought you would ask the waiter to bring a bowl again." ”

　　Should be sent to always be silent, a faint smile, an indispensable attitude: "No need to waste." I don't like sweet food. ”

　　He skimmed his motives so cleanly that Ye Qingtang was not discouraged.

　　How to say, suspicion will give birth to dark ghosts.

　　After eating, everyone packed up their things and left the restaurant.

　　Ye Chengyin and Ying Ruyu also had a goodbye greeting, Yao Hui went to the toilet, Ye Qingtang took the opportunity to approach Sun Miao, who was standing next to the door of the SUV sub-seat, and smiled: "Can you please send me the photo of the begonia flower you just took?" ”

　　Sun Miao said busily: "Yes... You add me WeChat? ”

　　Sun Miao clicked on the two-dimensional code of the business card, and Ye Qingtang scanned the past verification information.

　　After the application was approved, Ye Qingtang sent his name.

　　Sun Miao changed her note, "It's begonia." ”

　　"Hmm. So I love begonia flowers. ”

　　Sun Miao immediately said, "That photo I will send to you later?" ”

　　"Well, that's going to bother you."

　　"No trouble, no trouble, it's a matter of convenience." Sun Miao had a slight sense of vertigo from being pasted by a beautiful woman.

　　In a moment, Yao Hui returned, and everyone got into the car.

　　You should pull open the back seat door, pause for a moment, and look ahead.

　　Ye Qingtang did not look at this side, bent over the back seat, and the action of slamming the door was unexpectedly crisp and clean.

　　The car started and headed downtown.

　　The carriage was dim, and the only light came from Sun Miao's mobile phone on the co-pilot.

　　Ying Ru closed his eyes and heard Yao Hui in front of him whispering to Sun Miao, "Which man are you chatting with again?" ”

　　"I have it." Sun Miao also lowered her voice, "It's with Miss Ye." I sent her the picture of the begonia flowers I had just taken, and she gave me two tickets to the exhibition, saying that it was planned by her friend. ”

　　Yao Hui was slightly surprised, "Ye Zong's thousand gold? When did you add her WeChat? ”

　　"Just now—are you going to the exhibition?" There are two tickets. ”

　　"What day?" It depends. ”

　　"Saturday."

　　……

　　You should take out your mobile phone at this time, unlock the point and open the WeChat communication to take a look.

　　"New Friends" there, there is not a single new friend application.

Chapter 3 -03- Whether to Enter the Game or Not

　　-03-

　　Ye Qingtang's office is located in the Nancheng High-tech Park, and there are tax and rent concessions for start-up companies and the district government, making her and Wu Qingshu temporarily able to support the art book fair Art Book Project (ABP) founded by the two of them.

　　The office plus the storage area has a total of 200 square meters, in addition to Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu, there are four other regular employees, and an indefinite number of interns.

　　The four employees are responsible for finance, media operations and online store operations.

　　As for Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu, in addition to the above work, they do everything, planning, setting up exhibitions, contacting sponsors... When necessary, the chores of moving goods are also rolled up on the sleeves.

　　When Ye Qingtang arrived at the studio, Wu Qingshu had already arrived and was unboxing a batch of books from Taipei.

　　"Early."

　　"Early." Ye Qingtang unloaded the canvas bag and threw it on his workstation, "I went to talk to the person in charge of the Nancheng Art Museum yesterday. ”

　　"The result?"

　　"I didn't give a positive answer, but a painter's agent was also approaching them, and the time was also set for July." Ye Qingtang said.

　　The fourth edition of the ABP Art Book Fair will take place in July, and they will have to finalize the venue by the 15th of next month.

　　"Doesn't the Nancheng Art Museum have two exhibition halls?"

　　"The other one I stepped on, very small, and the decoration is too old, the wall is not moved, can only be all around the truss." In this way, the space is further compressed, and the cost is not known how much higher. ”

　　"I really can't do it, so I can only choose the Blue Tide Gallery."

　　Ye Qingtang sighed, "But I still like a mustard bookstore, the space layout and decoration style are the most perfect, and it is also in line with the theme of our session." ”

　　"People won't see each other, what can they do?"

　　Ye Qingtang was not a character who gave up lightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "In this way, I will try to find a way to meet the person in charge of the Mustard Book House, or if it doesn't work, I will choose Blue Tide." ”

　　Wu Qingshu is not good at communication, and the work of outreach in this area has always been taken care of by Ye Qingtang.

　　After a busy morning, at noon, Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu went to eat at a restaurant near the park.

　　Ye Qingtang ordered a set meal, and after the meal, he hardly moved his chopsticks, but frequently sent WeChat.

　　Wu Qingshu was curious, "Who are you talking to?" New boyfriend? ”

　　"No, with a girl."

　　“...... yes? ”

　　Ye Qingtang did not know where to start explaining this slightly complicated situation.

　　She has been in frequent contact with Sun Miao recently.

　　Sun Miao and her colleague Yao Hui went to see the exhibition together and came back to send WeChat to thank her for the ticket. Later, Sun Miao looked through her circle of friends and found a group of retro-style photo photos and asked where she took it. She pushed the photographer's WeChat to Sun Miao, who went to take a photo every few days, thanked her for her recommendation, and asked for her work address, inviting her to drink two consecutive Starbucks meals.

　　Just now, Sun Miao sent a message that next week, THE LAB Architects will hold a fifth anniversary cocktail party, and she has two invitations to play.

　　finally.

　　Ye Qingtang has been putting up with not adding Toru's WeChat, and she suspects that if she does not follow Yingru to see the above, she will first develop into a close friend with Sun Miao.

　　Ye Qingtang put down his mobile phone, took a fork and picked up a beef ball, and only said: "My friend invited me to attend the fifth anniversary cocktail party of THE LAB Architectural Office, do you want to go with me?" ”

　　"Don't go." Wu Qingshu refused all laborious social interactions.

　　"Please don't be a widow for Fang Shao anymore, he's not worth it."

　　Wu Qingshu froze for a moment, "... I didn't. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was annoyed for a second for his heart, "Sorry, I said that. ”

　　Wu Qingshu lowered his gaze to eat and did not speak again.

　　After eating and returning to the office, Ye Qingtang continued to revise the plan that was prepared to be sent to the person in charge of a mustard bookstore.

　　A message pops up on the desktop WeChat.

　　Wu Qingshu: I'll go with you.

　　The cocktail party was held at a newly opened restaurant near Tianhe in Nancheng, and LAB Architects chartered the venue.

　　Sun Miao waited at the place where he signed in at the door, and enthusiastically waved at Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu.

　　After some introduction, Sun Miao asked the two to sign in.

　　Ye Qingtang took the signature pen, while signing, while looking, at the moment at the check-in desk to welcome a man dressed in leather shoes, she recognized, is another founder she has seen on the official home page of the LAB, called Chu Yu, is ying Ru sent undergraduate classmates.

　　Ye Qingtang casually asked Sun Miao, "Didn't you see Teacher Ying?" ”

　　"Teacher Ying is talking to someone in the back."

　　After checking in, Sun Miao led the two people inside, "The drinks and food are all self-help, and there will be a band performance at eight o'clock..."

　　Before she could finish speaking, a female colleague came over and said that the emcee needed help from the celebrant's side, so she left first and let them defecate themselves.

　　Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu went to the bar, ordered a glass of wine, sat on a high stool, and looked around.

　　In the crowd not far away, Ye Qingtang found Ying Ruyu.

　　Between the noise of the people, it should be calmly handled as if it were sent.

　　Ye Qingtang thought of the description of "harmony and difference".

　　After staring at it for a while, Ye Qingtang withdrew his gaze and turned to help Wu Qingshu find out if there were any male guests in the field who looked good.

　　She saw one, and her elbow gently bumped Against Wu Qingshu, "What about that one?" ”

　　"Don't. The clothes are so bad that shirts and suits don't match at all. ”

　　“...... The one? ”

　　"I don't like bearded men."

　　"The one over there?"

　　"The muscles are a little disgusting."

　　Ye Qingtang smiled badly, "That's only one person who probably barely meets your aesthetic." ”

　　Wu Qingshu asked her with a look, who?

　　Ye Qingtang raised his chin toward the check-in place, "That person." Chu Yu is one of the founders of LAB. ”

　　"Isn't that young?"

　　"Well... Thirty-three, I reckon. "She calculated it based on the age she should have sent.

　　"Not interested in old men." Miss Wu's beauty is directly proportional to that of a poisonous tongue.

　　“……”

　　Wu Qingshu realized something, "Sorry, I didn't care. ”

　　Ye Qingtang shrugged.

　　They knew each other too well, Fang Shao to Wu Qingshu, a certain "old man" to Ye Qingtang, were all death pits, and a word saw blood sealing the throat.

　　During the small talk, Ye Qingtang noticed that Ying Ruyu smiled and bowed his head, and walked out from between the group.

　　He did not go to the check-in area to meet Chu Yu, but walked to the rear.

　　Ye Qingtang swallowed a sip of wine, immediately put down the wine glass, and slipped down from under the high stool, "I'm going to act." ”

　　“...... What action? ”

　　"Come back and explain to you."

　　Ye Qingtang passed through the crowd, someone took two steps forward to block the way to get to know her, she hurriedly turned sideways, only said "sorry, hurry", no time to refuse.

　　She turned a corner, a corridor in front of her leading to the back door, and looked over, but saw no one.

　　Logically, it should not be lost.

　　She paused and looked around.

　　Suddenly, Huo Ran raised his eyes--at the railing of the second floor, Ying Ruzheng was half leaning there, looking down.

　　That look made her a little unable to figure it out.

　　He seemed to have been there for a while, and had probably seen all the movements she was looking for.

　　Ye Qingtang met his gaze and walked to the steps, stepping on them step by step.

　　Walking to Ying Ruji's side, Ye Qingtang leaned back against the railing and smiled, "Teacher Ying, we have met again." ”

　　"Sun Miao invited you to come?" The tone of the message should be closer to the statement.

　　"Yeah. My dad had a business trip, or I would come with him. However, if I came with my father, wouldn't I see such an interesting expression from Teacher Ying? ”

　　"What is my expression?" The tone of the message should be as flat as if it had been ironed, and the emotions could not be heard.

　　"What an expression?" Ye Qingtang tilted his head and stared at him seriously.

　　Ying Ruyu did not look away, and measured his entire face recklessly by her gaze, out of a hunch that if he avoided her gaze, it would be exactly as she wished.

　　For a moment, Ye Qingtang smiled headlessly and asked, "What time is it time for you to finish?" ”

　　"Not good to say. Around ten o'clock. ”

　　“OK.”

　　Ying Ru felt that the meaning of this "OK" was unclear, but did not ask.

　　Ye Qingtang glanced at the bar, "My friend is waiting for me, I went down for a drink." ”

　　"I wish Miss Ye a lot of fun."

　　"I will." She said a pun.

　　Ye Qingtang stood up straight, about to leave, and stopped again.

　　He approached Ying Ruyu one step at a time, reached out, and tapped his fingers at his neckline, softly as a whisper, "Teacher Ying, your tie seems to be crooked a little." ”

　　As soon as she touched it, she saw the dark color that should have appeared under her eyes.

　　Ye Qingtang went downstairs, walked through the crowd, and returned to the bar.

　　Wu Qingshu was no longer there.

　　She thought she had gone to talk to someone, but it didn't matter, and asked for a new glass of wine.

　　Wu Qingshu returned at this time, and the usual cold and frosty face showed an excited look, and this excitement was obviously directed at her--she walked over, grabbed her arm, and whispered, "Are you crazy?!" ”

　　"Ah... You see? ”

　　Wu Qingshu went to look for a bathroom, and when he turned a corner, he saw two people talking at the railing on the second floor.

　　The man standing next to Ye Qingtang's eyes were so familiar that they frightened her.

　　"Who is this man?" Linton's relatives? ”

　　"I think... He should not have male relatives of the same age. ”

　　"Don't be silly!" Wu Qingshu hated that iron was not steel.

　　Ye Qingtang shrugged.

　　Wu Qingshu involuntarily dragged her outside, "Go." ”

　　"Qingshu, leave me alone." Ye Qingtang struggled and did not break away for a while.

　　"Didn't you let me take care of you, and you deliberately called me over, just to anger me?"

　　"I'm trying to make you... Look at what it doesn't feel like. ”

　　“...... You are sick. ”

　　Ye Qingtang struggled again, and Wu Qingshu caught a glimpse of her somewhat indifferent smile and let go of her hand for a while.

　　"I know what I'm doing." Ye Qingtang said seriously.

　　Wu Qingshu said, "... You'd better be really clear. ”

　　Ye Qingtang shoved the wine handed by the bartender on the bar to Wu Qingshu's hand, "Okay, drink." Don't get angry. ”

　　"Don't end up running to me and cry." Wu Qingshu did not buy it, and the wine glass was placed heavily on the countertop.

　　*

　　You should be sending all night to socialize and talk, and there is almost no time to spare.

　　Even so, he noticed Ye Qingtang between the gaps. It's hard not to be the center of attention for her and the friends she brings.

　　She was like a light swimming fish, and in the floating light of the flowing water, no one could catch her.

　　Near ten o'clock, the visitors dispersed one after another.

　　Ying Ruyu and Chu Yu said goodbye to the guests one by one at the door, and finally the people of the office were left.

　　Tomorrow is Saturday, everyone does not have to go to work, they have said hello to the two bosses, and they left in groups.

　　The waiters in the shop began to clean, and several people from the administrative department were responsible for the inventory of supplies.

　　Chu Yu looked back and asked Ying Ruyu, "Let's go have two drinks alone?" ”

　　"There's no such thing as idleness. Tomorrow morning, I will drive the old man to the hospital for a physical examination. Ying Ru said with a smile.

　　"Then how do you get back?" I send you back? ”

　　"My car was still in the parking lot. I call myself a substitute driver. ”

　　Chu Yu's driver drove the car to the door of the restaurant bar, and Ying Ruyu walked alone toward the parking lot.

　　The parking lot went down from the elevator hall next to the commercial building, and it should be like a turn, and slowly stopped.

　　Under the street lamp stood a familiar person.

　　She was looking over here, obviously waiting for him.

　　You should walk over unhurriedly.

　　The yellow light illuminated the image of a frame of photos, and the person in the photo held his arm, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time, and his words were three points of grievance, "It was difficult to call a car, and the driver canceled the order again." Teacher Ying, I'm drunk, can you send me home? ”

　　Ying Ru said: "I have also drunk wine, and I can only call a substitute driver." ”

　　"It doesn't matter." When he stopped in front of him, she looked at him on her back, not afraid to tell him to see his own successful smile, "You'll let me hitchhike, right?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu's gaze stopped on her face for a long time, and finally she didn't say anything, turned and walked toward the elevator.

　　Brisk, rattling footsteps followed him sideways, without the vanity and hesitation of a half-drunk person.

　　The elevator arrives at the minus 2 floor, the door pops open, and it should be like sending a hand bag, striding towards the parking space.

　　Ye Qingtang sensed the distraction in his footsteps and was very happy for a moment.

　　Ying Ru pressed the car key, and the headlights of a car flashed in the distance.

　　He walked over and pulled open the back seat door, slapped the door, looked back, and motioned for Ye Qingtang to get into the car.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said" Thank you.

　　The buggy was high, and when she stepped on the pedals, she naturally propped up a handful on his shoulder.

　　Ye Qingtang sat in, and he saw that Ying Ru sent his arm back and was about to close the car door.

　　She immediately laughed out loud, very innocent, "Are you afraid of me? ”

　　Ying Ru sent a pause, as if he had made up his mind, and then pulled the door open again and got into the car.

　　Ye Qingtang moved a seat to the side, and there was a faint smell of wine in his figure, mixed with the smell of smoke, if there was no mistake in observation, it should be sent as if there was no habit of smoking, it should be stained from Fangcai's cocktail party.

　　Ying Ruyu's palm lightly propped up the corner of his forehead, and his voice did not fluctuate too much: "Say it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang was slightly surprised, "Say what?" ”

　　"What do you want to do?"

　　Ye Qingtang leaned back, very relaxed posture, she smiled very frankly, "Are there any people around you lately?" ”

　　What she had to say did not exceed his expectations after all.

　　"I'm very busy at work and don't have time to think about personal issues." ”

　　"Isn't it more necessary to be busy at work?" Or is it that my statement is misleading. Ye Qingtang didn't mind saying more directly, "What I call, people, refers to sex partner. ”

　　Should feel a headache if sent.

　　Only Miss Ye has the ability to describe this matter as a business negotiation.

　　Ying Ruyu had to say again: "Miss Ye may not know me well enough." ”

　　“...... You don't need to know too much, right? It's not about falling in love. Playing things that are too real is tied up. ”

　　Ying Ruji once asked a female friend if he had a scumbag face.

　　Strangely, being hooked up, nine times out of ten, is it a date-cannon, and he doesn't look like the right person to provide a stable and intimate relationship?

　　The female friend said, yes, not only looks very scummy, but also makes people willing to feel that being scum like you, in fact, it does not matter, sleep once does not lose, sleep twice blood earned.

　　At the moment, he seems to have fallen into the trap of being judged by his appearance.

　　What could he say, he sighed almost helplessly in his heart and smiled, "Really? I'm afraid you can't afford to play. ”

　　In the past, basically saying this sentence, the other party also gave up with interest.

　　But the person in front of him seems to have two points brighter, "Adults must have the responsibility of adults, abide by the rules of the game, and be willing to gamble and lose." ”

　　When he finished, he suddenly approached, the slight heat of the breath brushed his cheeks, the light wine mixed with the aroma of tropical grass and trees, the long fluffy hair slipped from the shoulders, piled up on the chest of the black chest jacket, slowly rising and falling with the breath.

　　"Do you want to get in?" She smiled and invited.

　　You should hold your breath for a moment, and your gaze will not move up the ground without a trace, only staying at the center of her eyebrows.

　　He still spoke in a calm tone, "Miss Ye, you are Ye Zong's daughter." For the sake of convenience in carrying out the work, I do not want the relationship with you to become complicated, forgive me. ”

　　Ye Qingtang's gaze paused at the knot in his throat.

　　She admitted to being slightly frustrated, because he seemed to be really calm, after all, the physiological reaction could not deceive people.

　　"All right." Ye Qingtang smiled nonchalantly, "Then you won't complain to my father, will you?" ”

　　"I won't."

　　Ye Qingtang sat up straight, reached out, and went to pull the other side of the car door.

　　Should be sent to her with doubts.

　　"Not drunk, lied to you." She confessed to lying frankly, "I'll take a taxi back myself." ”

　　In the next instant, Ying Ruyu reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Girls are not safe alone after all." I'll send you back. ”

　　The attitude is beyond doubt.

　　Ye Qingtang sat back down again, she said that she was not drunk, but it was as if she was finally overwhelmed by alcohol, and she leaned back on the seat with her eyes closed, and the whole person seemed to have been sucked out of her bones.

　　Ying Ru took out his mobile phone and called a substitute driver.

　　While waiting for someone to come, he felt that the breathing around him was getting slower and slower.

　　Just about to turn my head to look, there is weight resting on the shoulder.

　　The fluffy hair brushed lightly across his cheeks, bringing a slight tickle.

Chapter 4 -04- Help

　　-04-

　　The underground garage was extremely quiet, with only the occasional sound of cars starting to drive out.

　　The head resting on his shoulder did not move.

　　It wasn't until a while later that Ying Ruyu was convinced that she was really asleep, not continuing to play some ghost trick of pretending to be true or false.

　　The surrogate arrived.

　　If you send your left shoulder to remain unmoved, open the window with your right hand and hand out the car keys.

　　The car merges into the Late Night Lantern River.

　　The substitute driver asked where to go, and should send the address of the Ye family villa.

　　The people around him never woke up, and his left arm gradually stiffened, but in the end he endured and endured, and did not wake people up.

　　Everything was soft, the sound of the wind outside the window, the noise of the isolated tires, and the sound of breathing rising and falling.

　　Ying Ruyu sat silently in the night, the mobile phone that was muted lit up from time to time, chu Yu generously sent a large red envelope in the WeChat group of the firm, and the "thank you boss" and "thank you dad" memes continuously brushed the screen.

　　Someone @ should be sent, sent a squeeze eyebrow expression, suggesting that it is full of meaning.

　　Should be sent according to the amount of Chu Yu also sent one, and then lock the mobile phone and put it back in the pocket.

　　Feel noisy, no longer pay attention.

　　Halfway through the car, the sleepy silence was broken by the sudden ringing of the mobile phone.

　　Ye Qingtang was excited, raised his head in a daze to find the source of the sound, reacted for a while before realizing that the mobile phone was in the bag, and hurriedly went to pull it out.

　　She squinted her eyes at the screen, most likely to feel the light glare.

　　Fingers lightly pressed the green answer button, and in the next instant, they naturally changed into a playful tone: "Mom, why are you calling so late?" ”

　　Next, you should have the privilege of seeing the other side of Ye Qingtang: the naïve little girl like a junior high school student, even if she drank a cup of milk tea at noon today, she had to report to her parents.

　　She had an unconscious habit of talking about the phone, wrapping a strand of curly hair around her fingers and watching it loosen like a spring, and then wrap it around and loosen it again.

　　The short, frivolous phone call from the parents lasted ten minutes.

　　She was "lucky" to know that her studio had been disconnected for a morning, the lipstick she bought with the wind grass had turned over, she had bought a new seasonal cherry blossom-flavored scrub, and her new bliss was pink.

　　The word should be as if you did not understand, take out your mobile phone to try to spell it out according to the pronunciation, and then look at the translation results displayed and fall silent.

　　For a moment, I wondered if Ye Qingtang had completely forgotten that there was a strange man around him who was half-baked at the moment.

　　The phone call finally ended, and Ye Qingtang seemed to finally remember his presence, threw the lock screen mobile phone into the bag, and asked with a smile: "Teacher Ying, where is the car driving?" ”

　　"Your home."

　　"Can I change my route to Guanlan Apartment?"

　　Should be sent to send no question about what this place is, ask the substitute driver to turn.

　　At this time, Ye Qingtang said, "I just accidentally fell asleep, I'm sorry." ”

　　"It's all right."

　　"But I can't be blamed for this..." She took a sharp turn, like a twenty-minute nap to revive her with blood, and she could use the calculation of the full belly to catch him one after another.

　　The sparkle in the apricot's eyes flowed, allowing Ying Ru to reflexively enter a state of readiness.

　　Sure enough, her next sentence was: "Who made Teacher Ying such a decent gentleman, I unconsciously relaxed too much." ”

　　Ying Ru glanced at her, a smiling expression instead of a smile, "Yes, just believe me like this?" ”

　　"A gentleman or a villain doesn't seem to be bad for me."

　　Ying Ru turned his gaze, not wanting to dwell on such topics more, "Is it Lady Ye who is calling?" "Don't get a car

　　"Hmm. But my mother didn't like people to call her that, and she preferred to be called Ms. Zhuang. ”

　　"I don't seem to have met Ling Tang." It should be called a different name.

　　Ye Qingtang laughed, "Normal. People who don't know will think I'm a single parent. She is a photographer, often collecting styles everywhere, does not like to be confined to the house, and dislikes my father for being clingy. Nine times out of ten, my father's so-called business trip was to find my mother. ”

　　"This time too?"

　　"Hmm." Ye Qingtang lowered his head to open the chain bag, and pulled out a small vintage mirror the size of a palm, with a handle, embellished with gilded tassels, and a manli pictorial girl on the back.

　　She raised her hand to turn on the roof light, and her slender fingers pinched the handle, so she looked in the mirror like no one else.

　　It should be looked at as if it were sent to the afterglow.

　　Her makeup was half spent, the corners of her eyes were red, the lipstick had faded, revealing the original reddish lip color, and on the left cheek, those few light brown freckles did not cover up anything, just like her obedient, maverick, and frank personality.

　　The mirror turned suddenly.

　　You should have looked away as expected.

　　Ye Qingtang stared into his eyes reflected in the mirror and smiled, "Is Teacher Ying curious about my affairs?" ”

　　Ying Ru sent a calm voice, but said, "How do you want me to answer you?" ”

　　Smart man. Ye Qingtang thought to herself, if he moved out to cooperate with her father again, he would have to deal with him in the future, and if he knew more about it, it would always be a precaution and so on, and she would hate his grandeur a little.

　　It was like something he could say, but he didn't say it.

　　Ye Qingtang put away the mirror, threw it back into his bag, and took out the mobile phone again.

　　She swiped the screen, not knowing what she was doing.

　　But eventually it was quiet.

　　You should open the window of the car to breathe, and the damp spring breeze will blow on the face.

　　After blowing the wind for a while, I suddenly felt my arm being poked slightly.

　　Looking back, Ye Qingtang handed over his palm, and there was an AirPods lying in his palm.

　　"You send me home, I invite you to listen to the song." She laughed.

　　He paused for a moment, but reached out and picked up the headphones.

　　The moment it was tucked into the left ear, the song continued.

　　“...... cello? ”

　　"Well, Faure's elegy in C minor, played by Jacqueline Dupre. She has a piano called Davidoff, which is now in the collection of Yo-Yo Ma. ”

　　Should be sent to stare at her for a moment, "Not like your style." ”

　　"What is my style?" Ye Qingtang smiled and asked, "Rock? kpop？ ”

　　Ying Ruyu caught her slightly smacking the corners of her mouth, and her expression flashed with sadness.

　　Sadness this emotion, no, this word alone, and Miss Ye together have a sense of incompatibility.

　　But it should be made as if it were not an illusion.

　　The Guanlan apartment was completely in the other direction, and it took nearly thirty minutes to drive to it.

　　Nearly zero point in the street, few vehicles on the road passed.

　　Ye Qingtang put away the headphones and mobile phone, reached out and pulled the car door, and said at the same time: "Don't go first, wait." ”

　　Should be sent as if not known so.

　　The car with double flashing lights was parked on the side of the road, and Ying Ru held his arm against the window and saw Ye Qingtang hurriedly running to the door of the community. There was a table near the doorpost, and she paused for a moment at the desk, then turned and ran back for a moment, with an extra paper bag in her hand.

　　She stopped at the window and handed over the paper bag.

　　It should be received as if it is sent hesitantly.

　　She took two steps back and smiled brightly, "Now, you owe me a supper." ”

　　Not giving him a chance to speak at all, she raised her arms and waved them, "Bye-bye, see you next time!" ”

　　The figure turned, ran toward the door, swiped the card to open the door, and disappeared into the depths of the night.

　　If you send it, put the paper bag on your knee and ask the driver to drive to the residence.

　　Close the window, uncover the paper bag, steamed dumplings and polenta, still warm.

　　The mobile phone screen lights up, should be like a glance, as usual is the new message of the WeChat group.

　　Just about to throw it aside, I caught a glimpse of the address book, and a red dot magically appeared.

　　"New Friends" has one more application.

　　“yqt”。

　　Her WeChat name is surprisingly serious.

　　-

　　At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

　　The weather forecast was that there was a heavy rainstorm in the evening, afraid of being trapped by the rain for a while and not being able to go back, Ye Qingtang gave the employees a holiday in advance.

　　Today, Wu Qingshu was not there, and he met with a teacher from a publishing house, and only four employees and three interns were on duty.

　　Several people left one after another, and the sister in charge of media operations was the last to leave, and when she saw Ye Qingtang still sitting in front of the computer, she asked: "Sister Tang, don't you leave work?" ”

　　"I'll be busy for a while," Ye Qingtang said with a smile as he lifted his face from the computer screen, "you can go back soon, it will rain in a moment." Be safe on the road. ”

　　"Then I'll go first, bye-bye."

　　"Bye bye."

　　Ye Qingtang got up and refilled the cup of hanging ear coffee and returned to his desk.

　　The email sent to the side of the Mustard Bookstore, with a detailed planning plan, still only got a cold reply of "Sorry, the Mustard Bookstore has no plans to open to the public."

　　Ye Qingtang was listless all day and was always unwilling.

　　She went through several twists and turns to the personal mailbox of the owner of a mustard bookstore, the collector Tang Wangqian, and tried to make one last attempt. Tang Wangqian lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public, and Ye Qingtang did not hold out any hope for the upcoming email.

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the plan and thought about how to make a little more targeted changes.

　　I overheard a muffled thunder outside the window.

　　A hole was poked open in the sky, and rain poured over the floor-to-ceiling window glass.

　　The rain was so strong that the whole tall building felt crumbling.

　　Ye Qingtang watched the rain silently for a while and returned to work.

　　On WeChat, the dinner group became lively.

　　High school classmate Han Jun in the group @ Ye Qingtang: Come out hi, nine o'clock in the evening.

　　Attach a positioning of the PUB.

　　The anxious Ye Qingtang took the time to reply: Hi fart. Not available.

　　Han Jun: What cousin has been busy with lately? Haven't been out for a month.

　　Ye Qingtang enrolled a year and a half earlier than her peers, when she was studying, she was always the youngest in the class, so her friends called her "Tang Sister", the first association of the input method was "cousin", everyone was too lazy to correct mistakes, and it became one of her most common nicknames.

　　Ye Qingtang: Find a venue. The exhibition is about to open, and the place has not yet landed.

　　Han Jun: Where did you see it? I'll help you ask.

　　Ye Qingtang: A mustard bookstore. Do you have connections?

　　Han Jun: ... Leave.

　　Han Jun: Work returns to work, and it is also necessary to combine work and leisure. Without your field, it is like Shanghai without the Oriental Pearl.

　　Ye Qingtang: I thought everyone had a mine in your house.

　　Han Jun: Not everyone has a tea garden at home.

　　Ye Qingtang: So if I don't work hard anymore, I can only go home and inherit the family business.

　　There was an inquiry message at hand, Ye Qingtang was busy for a while, and then looked at the group, Han Jun sent several messages in a row, asking her if she could go or not, he could personally drive to pick up.

　　Ye Qingtang: I really don't go, I don't have time.

　　Ye Qingtang irritably set up the small group to be undisturbed and continued to work.

　　Until seven o'clock, the entire plan was almost reworked, emphasizing professionalism and founding purpose, and she personally speculated that this might be the place where big guys like Tang Wangqian were more interested.

　　After reviewing the contents of the email several times, Ye Qingtang clicked the Send button.

　　She stood up and stretched out a lazy waist.

　　Then pick up your phone and check your WeChat messages.

　　Pick up the important reply, and then click on the taxi software. She didn't drive herself this morning, she took a taxi.

　　Number 132.

　　“……”

　　In this case, it is natural to call for help from Ye Chengyin.

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the dialog box with Ye Chengyin, spoke for five seconds, and the last moment she sent out, her mind moved, and her fingers dragged to the left side to cancel.

　　Quit and turn from the list to add, and don't say a word.

　　Select the emoji icon with the red "SOS" and send it.

　　About half a minute passed, and there was a question mark over there.

　　Ye Qingtang: Help Teacher Ying! I couldn't get a car on a rainy day and was stuck in the studio. Teacher Ying, are you in Nancheng? In the company?

　　"Typing" flashed for a moment, and should reply as if sent: In.

　　Ye Qingtang: I am in the high-tech park, and it seems that I am not far from your office, can you come and take me for a ride?

　　Comes with a tearing cat cat head emoji.

　　"Typing" flashed again for a moment.

　　Should be sent as: Which door?

　　Ye Qingtang deleted the input box "You can enter the underground garage from the west gate, just register" and re-typed: South Gate.

　　Should be sent as: Good.

　　Ye Qingtang quit the chat with Ying Ruyu, casually clicked on a sister planting grass group, joined the group chat, and leisurely waited for someone to pick up.

　　More than twenty minutes, should be sent as a message: 5 minutes to. License plate number South AY3668

　　Ye Qingtang: OK I went downstairs.

　　She locked the notebook and threw it on her desk, not carrying it, afraid of getting wet.

　　I put on my canvas bag, just ready to go, I caught a glimpse of the daily flowers randomly placed in the corner of the table, and I was too busy to insert the bottle today, I thought about it and picked it up.

　　You should park the car near the south gate and flash it double-flash.

　　In the high-tech park on a rainy day, the road in front of the door is almost blocked.

　　After waiting for about five or six minutes, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure running out in front of him.

　　Vest, shirt jacket, slacks and canvas shoes, carrying a canvas bag, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, a large bouquet of pink and orange flowers, bright and eye-catching in the gloomy sky.

　　Ye Qingtang regretted for a second that he was a little too hard to catch a man.

　　She was soaked by the rain and had water in her shoes.

　　She put a canopy in front of her with one hand and tiptoed out, trying to find the 668 in a sea of double-flashing cars.

　　Looking for a circle of gaze, pausing suddenly.

　　I didn't see which car he was from, and the tall figure of the lone standard seemed to appear out of thin air in the gray rain curtain.

　　Ye Qingtang waved.

　　The people under the umbrella are walking faster for a while.

　　The dark umbrella surface was obliquely covered one step ahead, and then he put his hand on her shoulder and vainly swept towards him.

　　She was drenched in rain and cold, and was clearly aware of the warm touch of her palms.

　　The rain made a crisp sound on the overhead umbrella surface.

　　Ye Qingtang smelled the damp breath, mixed with a clear and bitter aroma.

　　She handed out fulang and rose wrapped in dark green soft rubber paper, looked up and smiled, and said, "Teacher Ying, meet again." ”

Chapter 5 -05- Go to you or me...

　　-05-

　　Ying Ruyu looked down at the flowers in her hand, "For me?" ”

　　"Or else?"

　　Ying Ru seemed to find it funny, and he took her by the hand and signaled her to hurry forward.

　　"You don't want to?"

　　"You hold it first, get in the car and then say it."

　　The rain was so loud that they struggled to speak.

　　The rain poured on the pavement, splashing white water, and the umbrella was large enough to cover the two of them, but Ying Ruyu still tilted most of it to her side with gentlemanly demeanor.

　　When you get to the car, you should hold an umbrella in one hand and pull open the door of the sub-seat with the other.

　　Ye Qingtang stepped on the pedal and bent down into the car, and should take a half step back and hold out his hand to her.

　　She reacted for a moment and handed out a bouquet of flowers.

　　Flick the door of the sub-seat and open the back seat door again.

　　The rain-soaked bouquet was properly placed by him on the leather seats in the back row.

　　Ye Qingtang couldn't help but smile a little, thinking that he had made this set of things, in the end he still bought it.

　　You should get on the car as if you sent an umbrella, start the engine, and adjust the air conditioning temperature in the car by hand.

　　The wiper is like a glow stick frantically waved by fans at the concert, sweeping out a clear area and immediately blurred by the rain.

　　If you send a turn signal, enter the left lane.

　　There are cars in front of and behind, driving out of the area at turtle speed.

　　The air outlet blew out a warm air stream, and the slight chill brought about by the evaporation of water vapor made Ye Qingtang's nose itch, and he couldn't help but not go over, and his palm covered his mouth and nose and sneezed.

　　She rested her semi-wet canvas bag on her lap and took out a carry-on wet tissue from inside.

　　A coat was thrown at her.

　　The cement gray casual blazer, the material to the cut is very advanced, dry, with a coffee-like bitter aroma, and should be the same as the body.

　　Ye Qingtang wiped his hands clean, picked up the cloak without hesitation, and then put his arms into the sleeves.

　　The sleeves are long, but because it is a slightly shoulder-dropped style, it has an oversize tone on her.

　　"Teacher Ying."

　　Ying Ruzhi was paying attention to following the car in front of him and turned his head to look at her.

　　"Where did you buy your coat?"

　　Hearing this, Ying Ruyu looked at her again, this time looking at the clothes she was wearing.

　　He retracted his gaze, "Friend's own original brand." ”

　　"Online shop?"

　　"There's an offline store."

　　"Is it okay to send me the address?"

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang drew out a few dry tissues to wipe the water from his hair and asked, "Which district do you live in?" Send me along the way? ”

　　"Nearby, not far away. Not bad. ”

　　The moment his voice fell, Ye Qingtang didn't look over his face to make a loud sneeze.

　　He raised his hand to turn up the wind of the air conditioner, "Where are you going?" Last apartment? ”

　　"So far away. My dad was also far away. Ye Qingtang wrapped his arms around him and shrank slightly, "Teacher Ying, I feel as if I'm going to catch a cold." ”

　　Silence should be sent.

　　It was as if he had stepped into the language trap she had set for him again.

　　Sure enough, Ye Qingtang turned his head to look at him, his expression to his eyes, the textbook model of Chu Chu pitiful, "Is there any convenient and close place, can I take a hot bath?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu looked straight ahead, and his voice was not alarmed, "There is a five-star hotel with our firm for a long time, if necessary, I will call you to book a room." ”

　　So hard to gnaw on the bones.

　　Ye Qingtang was more and more aroused by the desire to win and lose, "What hotel?"

　　Should be sent as a name.

　　"I don't like the smell of their home bath products. Trouble ying teacher will send me back, Guanlan Apartment. ”

　　It should be like a finger tapping the steering wheel, falling into a subtle anxiety.

　　It seemed that he had unknowingly become the culprit who had to wear wet clothes all the way home and face the risk of catching a cold.

　　When passing the traffic light in front, you should turn the car around.

　　Ye Qingtang saw that this was not going in the direction of Guanlan Apartment, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

　　The car drove for about fifteen minutes and turned into the underground parking lot of a building.

　　Ying Ruyu found a vacant seat to stop the car, unfastened his seat belt, and said to Ye Qingtang: "Get out of the car, take you to change clothes." ”

　　Ye Qingtang pulled the car door down, still wearing the coat that should be sent.

　　She followed Ying Ru and was able to see his outfit, the white loose T-shirt, the same color as the suit jacket, the casual pants, the leisurely body, making him look leisurely and casual.

　　To enter the stairs, you should press the button on the next floor.

　　Ye Qingtang was a little confused.

　　When I got to the first floor, through the corridor and the lobby, and then through a long corridor with outdoor obstruction, I should finally stop.

　　"It's here." He pulled open the door.

　　Spacious, clean, brightly lit, minimalist decoration that exudes a sense of luxury.

　　A row of display cases, hanging low-saturation shirts, suits, trousers, skirts...

　　It's a clothing store.

　　Ying Ruyu walked in and said hello to the owner.

　　The owner was a woman with short hair, a silver lip stud on her lips, and an asymmetrical black dress.

　　Ying Ru sent to her: "Bring a friend over to pick out a dress." ”

　　The woman's gaze fell on Ye Qingtang's body, and she looked at ye Qingtang silently for a few times, and smiled: "Do you like skirts or pants?" Need a referral from me? ”

　　Ye Qingtang guessed that this person was probably the designer friend that Ying Ruji said.

　　She said she wanted the same suit, and he simply brought her straight to the store.

　　Ye Qingtang was angry, but instead smiled, "I'll pick and choose myself first, and then I can't make up my mind and then bother you to recommend." ”

　　"Okay, you can see it." The woman laughed.

　　Ye Qingtang walked around in a cursory manner, quickly choosing a camisole, shirt and trousers, which were similar to her commute today. I saw that there were apricot white casual leather shoes on the circular display table, and I also picked them up.

　　She went into the changing room, changed out of a wet dress, and the wet hair was piled up on the back of the neck against the skin, so she coiled it up randomly with a hair ring.

　　Walking out of the changing room, Ye Qingtang asked the shopkeeper to help him get a bag to pack clothes.

　　"Is that it?" Need to try again? Anyway, hanging should be like sending an account. The shopkeeper laughed.

　　"No." Ye Qingtang took out his mobile phone, "I can pay the bill myself." ”

　　Ying Ruyu, who was standing next to the cash register, glanced at it and said, "I still owe Miss Ye a late-night snack, which should be offset." "The tone doesn't have much emotion.

　　Ye Qingtang deliberated for a moment, and finally did not follow Ying Ru to send a snatch order.

　　The shopkeeper looked at both of them, took out a paper bag from behind the cash register, smiled, and said, "Help you cut the logo - give me the clothes you changed, and I'll wrap it up for you." ”

　　Ye Qingtang handed over his clothes, "Trouble." ”

　　Step out of the clothing store, cross those crooked roads, and head back to the underground parking lot.

　　After getting into the car, Ye Qingtang did not speak.

　　Until the car pulled off the ground, she smiled and said, "Mr. Trouble Ying, pull over in front of 711." ”

　　Her tone of voice had changed, and of course She could perceive it, turning her head to look at her, "Want to buy something?" ”

　　"No." Ye Qingtang smiled, "It's already two years since I told Mr. Ying, and then I asked you to send me back. ”

　　It should be sent for a while without making a sound.

　　The car drove silently past the 711.

　　Ye Qingtang calmly reiterated, "Can you bother to pull over and park?" ”

　　For a moment, you should slow down, turn on the turn signals, lean the car to the side of the road, and brake.

　　Double flashing lights ticked.

　　The rain was already small, and the street lights shone on the light of the cow's hairy rain.

　　The light was thrown into the carriage, dim and yellow.

　　If you send your hand, you should lock the door for the time being.

　　He put his arms lightly on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at her, and said in a serious tone, "Qingtang, please forgive me." But I must state that I don't like anyone forcing me to make a decision. ”

　　"Hmm." Ye Qingtang said, "So I respect your free will." This is the last time and I won't look for you again. ”

　　She still smiled as she was accustomed, without coercion, without reluctance.

　　People have to believe that what she calls "the last time" must be the last time.

　　There was silence for a moment.

　　Ying Ru raised his hand and pressed the stop double flashing light, and his voice did not fluctuate: "I will send you home." ”

　　"If you want to send me, you can change places."

　　You should ask where to go with your eyes.

　　"Well..." Ye Qingtang said in a deliberate tone, "I don't know, you wait for me to go, I go to WeChat to casually poke a man and ask?" ”

　　It should be as if the eyes are sinking.

　　Ye Qingtang tilted his head and smiled, "You don't think that the things you don't want to agree to, others are not willing to do, right?" ”

　　It should be sent for a long time without moving.

　　In the middle of the night, he raised his hand and pressed the engine button hard.

　　The car turned off and returned to a complete calm.

　　On the contrary, there was something gradually bubbling up in the darkness, such as the dark surge and turbulence under the surface of the silent lake—Ye Qingtang couldn't help but hold her breath, because Ying Ruyu reached out and held her arm.

　　Like slow motion, the hand slowly fell, clasped her wrist, and pulled.

　　She leaned to the side, losing her balance, and subconsciously reached for the storage compartment between the seats.

　　Ying Ruyu's other hand also reached over, and the cool fingers paused for a moment on the side of her neck, and then lifted her chin with some force.

　　Ye Qingtang clearly knew that his few words had finally annoyed the person in front of him.

　　His other side was so aggressive and surprising that it slowed her breathing in a slight shudder.

　　"You can't pick me up," Ye Qingtang looked directly into his eyes, smiling and playing all the cards in his hand, "... You can also leave me alone to care if I have a cold or not. Most importantly, if you are really so bright and honest, why don't you dare to take me to your house to change clothes? ”

　　"Done?" You should ask in a deep voice.

　　Ye Qingtang shrugged.

　　Ying Ruyu's arm fell, slammed into her waist, and leaned forward.

　　The strong aura that threatened the wind and rain made Ye Qingtang afraid of his light enemy for a second.

　　She closed her eyes.

　　But no, he didn't kiss her.

　　Ying Ru's voice was low and hoarse, and the tone was still serious, "You must know that in this relationship, men will not always be the one who suffers losses." ”

　　Ye Qingtang also whispered, "I won't do anything that suffers losses, and I'm not stupid." ”

　　Warm breath lingers on the tip of the nose.

　　The air was thick, like on a midsummer night without power, and the temperature was rising endlessly.

　　Ye Qingtang closed his eyes and waited, and the time seemed to be infinitely stretched.

　　However, the power that imprisoned her was suddenly loosened, and the warm breath was instantly away.

　　Ye Qingtang opened his eyes in doubt.

　　Ying Ru sent it back, looking calm.

　　As if nothing had happened, he reached out and knocked off the car's start button.

　　Having said all about this, there is still a reason for the failure??

　　Ye Qingtang wanted to hit the wall.

　　Ying Ruyu did not miss her momentary sluggish look.

　　He secretly raised the corners of his mouth before he asked slowly, "Go to your place, or me?" ”

Chapter 6 -06- Is It Okay?

　　-06-

　　Ye Qingtang did not hesitate: "I am there." ”

　　Home field advantage cannot be lost in the first leg.

　　Ying Ru was a bit surprised, after all, she had just bothered to go to his house.

　　The car left this section of the road and merged into the main road, and there was a red taillight with no end in sight.

　　Ye Qingtang's body gradually warmed up after changing into dry clothes, except for his feet. She took off her wet cotton socks and wore only those casual leather shoes barefoot.

　　"It should be sent as such."

　　The salutation has changed. You should turn your head to look at her.

　　"Can I take off my shoes?"

　　"Casual."

　　Ye Qingtang stepped off his leather shoes, lifted his legs, and stepped on the edge of the seat.

　　Ying Ruyu glanced involuntarily, her toes were coated with nail polish, but the light in the carriage was dim, and it was not obvious what the specific color was, only it looked very dark, and it lined the skin of the instep of her feet.

　　After a while, Ye Qingtang reached out again to select his usual music software from the carplay menu and clicked the play button.

　　Ying Ruyu felt that she was somewhat familiar, but she did not know whether it came from experience or unthinking intuition, and her behavior would always be in a delicate area that was almost crossed, but not crossed, and would not make people feel offensive and annoying.

　　Being dazzling and easy to like is a gift.

　　She was the most talented person he had ever met in the field.

　　The Berlin voice sounded, renewing the song he had heard halfway in his office.

　　“Close the door and come on in，I got skin I'd like to wrap you in”（*）.

　　The lights of the yellow road flashed into the car window again, and the whole city overturned in the water.

　　She hummed softly with the song, happy, free, like a swimming fish or an elf perched in a coral bush.

　　When the car drove to the door of the Guanlan apartment complex, the rain had stopped.

　　Ye Qingtang got out of the car with his bag and the bag containing his clothes, and when he was about to close the door, he should open his mouth.

　　"You go up first, and I'll call back to work." It is impossible to hear the calm tone of whether it is an excuse or not.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said: "I live in 3 buildings 1402, the car can drive in, with the doorman to report the account number and the owner's name." Go upstairs and dial the visible, I will open the door for you. ”

　　Pause, like a hint, but also like a casual remark, raised his finger to the side, "There is a convenience store over there." ”

　　Ye Qingtang went upstairs into the house, stepped off his shoes, took off his clothes, and took the lead in entering the bathroom.

　　She didn't deliberately speed up, and it took a total of twenty minutes to remove her makeup, wash her hair, and take a shower.

　　Change into pajamas, wipe your hair until it doesn't drip anymore, plug in the hair dryer and start blowing.

　　Only then did the videophone finally ring.

　　Ye Qingtang turned off the hair dryer, put on the slippers and walked to the entrance to connect the visible door, unlocking the door downstairs.

　　When she was supposed to send it upstairs, she removed a pair of clean disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet.

　　Moments later, there was a knock at the door.

　　"Tuk Tuk" is not light or heavy twice.

　　Ye Qingtang examined the picture of the electronic cat's eye intake on the visual screen and opened the door.

　　"Please come in." She handed the tip of the slippers inward to Ying Ru.

　　Ying Ru closed the door, changed his shoes, and said in a flat voice: "The project that the person under the hand is responsible for encounters a little situation, and we talked for a while." ”

　　There was a cold breath on his body, and people looked very lonely in the pale white light of the entrance.

　　Ye Qingtang shook his head slightly, smiled, and said, "I thought Teacher Ying had escaped from the battle." ”

　　Ying Ru sent a joking tone: "There is such a plan." ”

　　No, not a joke.

　　He sat in the car and blew the wind for twenty minutes before he really made up his mind at the last moment.

　　Ye Qingtang's gaze paused on his face for quite a moment.

　　When he laughed, the sense of loneliness and depression that made people mistaken was gone, and replaced by a sense of amorousness that did not lose its purity.

　　She turned and walked in, laughing and asking, "Do you want to drink something?" ”

　　"Casual."

　　Ye Qingtang went to the refrigerator in the open kitchen and took out two bottles of Evian water and put them on the coffee table, "You sit first, I will blow my hair." ”

　　You should sit down on the sofa, unscrew the water bottle and take a sip, and look around.

　　This apartment visually measured more than seventy square meters, the model of the so-called "Nordic style" decoration, fortunately, there is no hanging deer hanging on the wall, and the dining table is not covered with plaid tablecloths, not too uniform.

　　After a while, Ye Qingtang finished blowing his hair, turned back to the bedroom, and came out with a milky white knit coat draped over his nightgown.

　　The couch sank slightly, and she naturally sat down beside him, "Are you hungry?" Do you want to order a takeaway first. ”

　　Ying Ruyu still replied: "Feel free." ”

　　"Then... Wait a minute and eat a supper? She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

　　Her freshly washed hair was even more fluffy, giving off a clean and rich aroma.

　　Ying Ruyu ignored it as much as possible, and asked in a casual tone: "Who please do the decoration design?" ”

　　"Isn't it a little too exemplary to look at it from your professional point of view?" Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "It was sent by the open merchant." I was looking for someone to remodel, but I was too busy to take the time. ”

　　"I don't know what you do yet."

　　"I have a studio myself, doing art book fairs, ABP, Art Book Project, when you were studying at Yale, you should have participated in similar exhibitions?" At present, there are not many domestic words. ”

　　You should note, "You know my information very well. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was righteous and strong, "Know yourself and know the other, and never lose a battle." ”

　　Ying Ruyu slightly raised an eyebrow, "So, I am not a chess player because I don't know you well enough?" ”

　　"It's not too late to start." Ye Qingtang won the victory and sold well.

　　For a moment, no one answered the next sentence.

　　Before the atmosphere became more and more delicate, Ying Ru slightly bent down to get the water on the coffee table, while Ye Qingtang stood up.

　　The sound of footsteps went to the side of the study, and returned to the living room in a moment.

　　Ye Qingtang took a document in his hand and returned to the sofa to sit down.

　　"What, you want to sign an agreement?"

　　"No." Ye Qingtang changed his usual overly cunning and seemingly careless manners, serious and serious, "There are two things, I think we had better do it in advance to understand." The first is this—"

　　She handed the document to him, "My medical report." Correspondingly, you may also need to provide yours. ”

　　Ying Ru glanced down at the report, smiled and asked, "What if I can't provide it for the time being?" ”

　　"Then Teacher Ying can only eat supper today." Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

　　You should open the file as you send and scan it unhurriedly.

　　In fact, he felt that there was something magical about progressing to this point, somewhat beyond the scope of his experience.

　　But I had to sigh, at least, she was very rational and responsible for herself.

　　Ying Ruyu calmly closed the physical examination report, gently put it on the coffee table, took out his mobile phone, and found a pdf-formatted electronic physical examination report from the APP of a physical examination institution - early March is the firm's fixed group physical examination time.

　　He cried and laughed and wondered if he had to thank himself for this time, but if he was two or three weeks late, tonight would not only be magical, but also embarrassing.

　　Ye Qingtang took his mobile phone, he did not seem to have the habit of using the mobile phone case, directly exposed to the outer fuselage metal edges with tiny scratches.

　　She zoomed in on the physical examination report with her fingers, first scanning the whole thing and then looking at it carefully.

　　"Teacher Ying, your body fat rate is so low."

　　You should send an arm to the arm of the sofa, and turn your head to look at it.

　　And Ye Qingtang stared at him, blinked, and his eyelashes fluttered, "Do you have abs?" ”

　　“...... grudging. ”

　　"Can I take a look?"

　　“……”

　　"Or touch it?"

　　"..." Ying Ruyu could only chuckle, "No hurry." ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned over the physical examination report and handed the mobile phone back to him, "OK." The second thing is that I want each other to clarify their preferences and taboos first. ”

　　"You say it first?"

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, without half a twist: "My words, I will like the diet talk, but it is too insulting." ”

　　Ying Ruyu felt that this night would not be more magical, but he changed his mentality with the encounter, wanting to see how many unexpected words could be said from her mouth, so he smiled and asked: "For example?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang frowned nicely and took a breath, "For example... No, I can't say it, but if you say it in the process, I'll remind you. ”

　　She paused, staring at him as if scrutinizing, "Would you say?" ”

　　"What do you think?" Eyebrows should be raised.

　　"I don't know. Many people, just look at the surface can not see. ”

　　"Hmmm... Anything else? ”

　　"There is also," Ye Qingtang continued, "I will like the language cosplay, of course, in the future, if conditions permit, with the restoration of costumes and places, it is also possible." Similar to teachers and students, bosses and subordinates, employers and servants, stars and bodyguards..."

　　Ying Ruyu resisted the urge to raise his hand to cover his face, because he wanted to tease her more, "So, it doesn't contain kinship? For example..." He looked at her, and finally swallowed back the word "father and daughter", because he thought it might be offensive, "Brother and sister? ”

　　Ye Qingtang's eyes widened, "Do you like this?" She thought, "I don't seem to be unacceptable. If you like, I'm OK and can cooperate with you. ”

　　...... No, he wasn't, he wasn't.

　　YingRuyu coughed softly, "... Anything else? ”

　　"No more. What about you? ”

　　"I don't have a particularly noteworthy preference." Ying Ruyu just wanted to end this topic quickly.

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, "Good. ”

　　As soon as the words fell silent, they fell silent.

　　The silence amplified each other's breathing sounds, and there was also the fresh and sweet aroma from Ye Qingtang's body, as fresh and sweet as a spring morning.

　　He should lean back uncomfortably and sit on his knees.

　　Just as he was about to speak, Ye Qingtang spoke up first, "I've always had a question. ”

　　"Huh?"

　　Ying Ru looked back, without thinking, Ye Qingtang had already gathered his cheeks against the hem of his clothes, and gently sucked his nose, "Why does your body always have the smell of coffee?" ”

　　You should send a breath.

　　When I looked down, I could clearly see her long, curly eyelashes, her pale skin like cold jade after removing her makeup, and those few ghostly freckles.

　　Ying Ruyu reached for his pants pocket, touched a rectangular plastic box, paused, remembered that it was on the other side, and changed his hand.

　　A tin box less than the size of a palm.

　　When you open it, it is a thinly pressed lozenge, and a strong bitter aroma of coffee comes to the face.

　　Ying Ru said: "When I first worked, I would smoke, but then I quit." This is the alternative. Want to try it? ”

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, stretched out his fingertips and pulled out a slice and put it in his mouth.

　　Ying Ru stared at her.

　　"Very reductive taste..."

　　Didn't let her finish her words.

　　The tin box was lightly buckled and thrown onto the wooden coffee table, making a soft noise.

　　A warm palm clasped the back of her neck.

　　You should bow your head as if you were sending it.

　　Ye Qingtang's breathing was slightly stagnant, and his heart also stopped half a beat.

　　Soon he stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around the back of his neck around his shoulders, responding enthusiastically.

　　The light, thin lozenges gradually melted at the tip of their tongues.

　　Ye Qingtang didn't like the sofa in the living room, she wanted to change it earlier, the fabric was easy to get dirty, and before she finally had time to pick a leather sofa, she didn't want to make it more unmanageable, so before going further, she whispered a proposal, go to the bedroom, okay?

　　You should pick her up easily.

　　The slippers on her feet slipped off and "snapped" on the wooden floor.

　　Should be sent to the empty glance, under the fluorescent lamp, appear pale ankles and insteps, trimmed nails, painted with pure black nail polish.

　　Ye Qingtang landed on his back and lay on his back.

　　With a mysterious touch, stretching all the way from her ankle, she took a deep breath, and her slender fingers tightened the neckline of the letter, making him bow his head.

　　She heard him laugh and kiss her again.

　　·

　　Everything becomes blurry and indistinguishable.

　　Ye Qingtang did not play an active role, although this was her usual preference.

　　Stemming from an obscure mood that could not be mentioned to any third person, at this moment she was willingly and willingly surrendering, as if she had been chasing an untouchable shadow.

　　She closed her eyes, her fingers caressing her eyebrows, down the contours of her brow bones.

　　Feeling him close his eyes, she opened them slightly.

　　When he closed his eyes, he couldn't see the color of his pupils.

　　She traced it with her fingertips, from the eyelashes, to the bridge of his nose, to the corners of his lips.

　　The fingers stopped, for a moment, and slid down weakly.

　　Ying Ruyu was subtle and conscious, and when he opened his eyes, he was facing a slightly distracted face, like the sadness that flashed when she listened to him cello music that night.

　　Ying Ruyu immediately stopped, put his arms around her, and asked softly and with concern, "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

　　"No... Nothing..."

　　Ye Qingtang hugged him back and buried his cheek in his neck.

　　He was so gentle that she wanted to cry, and she felt a sense of guilt that could not be discharged.

　　"Continue." Ye Qingtang said.

　　"Can I?" He reconfirmed.

　　"Hmm."

　　When the rain began to fall again, none of them knew.

　　This corner of the space has long since become a deep sea.

　　Dark, damp, unknown undercurrent.

　　Negative pressure brings a deep feeling of hypoxia, so that it is on the verge of suffocation.

　　Then he dived out of the water on the edge of death and breathed deeply, deeply.

Chapter 7 -07- It's still early

　　-07-

　　A hand reached over and brushed away the sticky hair on Ye Qingtang's forehead.

　　"Borrow the bathroom?"

　　"Well..." Ye Qingtang responded slowly, "there are clean bath towels in the basket." ”

　　After the sound of the clatter, the footsteps went toward the bathroom.

　　Ye Qingtang was lying on the bed sheet weakly, imagining himself as a completely melted vanilla-flavored ice cream ball, fully applicable to the quantifier of "one stall".

　　The frosted glass door cuts out the sound of water and faintly hears it.

　　Like taking a long hot bath, slightly sleepy and satisfied, Ye Qingtang couldn't help but "reconsider".

　　The only flaw in the process that far exceeded expectations may be the self who walked away halfway.

　　In terms of hardware, it should be "reluctant", or too modest, he should have a regular exercise, after undressing there are obvious abs, but not too exaggerated, is the kind she just likes. Then about size, how to say, she is not a data-based person, the importance of this matter technology and attitude is far more than the hardware - of course, the premise is based on the hardware pass.

　　As should be sent, the hardware is excellent at the same time, but also has a great sense of patience and service.

　　Ye Qingtang, an egoist in Geng Zhiyan's control and sex-relationship, is not aggrieved, not disguised, who makes her really unhappy, will kick people away and let them roll away on the spot, there is a sincere willingness to repent, can be left for the time being to see the after-effects, but there is still no obvious improvement after three opportunities, will give bad reviews, breakups, blackout one-stop service.

　　There is a violent theory in his life: the big handsome on the market is more temperamental than the various jobs, which is inseparable from the connivance of each of your sisters. How can you lower the standard because the face is good, just because the face is good, you must be strict, spur the transformation, benefit yourself when you are in love, and break up to benefit mankind, is this not good?

　　And Ying Ru sent, even if she holds a magnifying glass to nitpick, she will be happy with the man who hits the five-star praise.

　　Remembering that when she was a teenager, she secretly read the novel, and saw that some fragments were always red in the face, wondering what that slight throbbing was, but it constituted all her fantasies about sex.

　　Later, I really experienced it and realized that most of the time it was lackluster, and it was not like that at all.

　　And Ying Ruyu is one of the very few people who can make her real experience close to the fantasies of girlhood.

　　The five-star man came out of the bathroom and walked to the bedroom door with his hair wiped.

　　"Hungry?"

　　"A little bit." Ye Qingtang hugged the quilt to cover himself and sat up, reaching out to touch the bedside cabinet, only to remember that the mobile phone landed on the living room sofa.

　　She put on her pajamas, got up from the bed, and walked barefoot to the living room.

　　Passing by the door, Ying Ruyu reached out and put his arm around his waist to stop him.

　　"What to do?" Ye Qingtang tiptoed and exchanged a kiss with him, "Is the toll enough?" ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and let go.

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the takeaway APP on his mobile phone and handed it to Ying Ruyi, "You can see what you want to eat." A few of the flavors I often order in the order are OK. ”

　　Should be sent to reach out and take it.

　　Ye Qingtang was about to go to the bathroom, and his footsteps paused, "Are you in a hurry to blow your hair?" I'm going to use the bathroom. ”

　　"You go first."

　　Ye Qingtang washed and came out of the bathroom, and should send back the mobile phone, "See what to add." ”

　　"You've already ordered it?" That's great. Ye Qingtang took the phone, "I hate thinking about what to eat at each meal." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "I just chose another order according to your order." ”

　　Ye Qingtang paid the money and should dry his hair as if he had sent it.

　　With nothing to do, they look at each other and fall into the embarrassment that is indispensable after the fact.

　　Ye Qingtang lightly touched his nose and looked away, "Yes..."

　　"Huh?"

　　Ye Qingtang walked to the table, took a cardboard box from there, and put it back on the coffee table, "It's a few books that have just arrived overseas, I think there are some that you may be interested in, do you want to see?" ”

　　You should go over and sit down on the sofa.

　　"This," Ye Qingtang spread out a book, "To destroy is to build," is a collection of photographs posted on Instagram by photographer Czar □□toff about the moment when the building was demolished. ”

　　A thin volume, blue cover and inner page, the photo noise is blurred, like an image from an ancient videotape.

　　The picture is full of smoke and dust, and it seems to be able to sense the huge roar of the explosion moment.

　　Ye Qingtang noticed that Ying Ruyu had been staring at a page for a long time, and said, "This is already for you - but wouldn't it be nice to send an architectural designer a photo of the moment of 'death' of a building?" ”

　　"No, it makes sense. Thanks, I took it. ”

　　The remaining few books should be simply turned over, they are similar to private albums, very niche, and very interesting.

　　"I like this." Ye Qingtang held up a photo album, the cover on a red background, and the image on it was a mushroom, which looked like a male organ.

　　"Mushrooms and Friends, the cover is very specific — suggestive, but the content is fine, just a variety of parasitic or symbiotic mushrooms. However, I think that the choice of this one for the cover may also be because the mushroom is extremely destructive vitality, which is common to people's primitive instincts. Ye Qingtang said.

　　Whether the sage time after the initial feast is suitable for exploring these somewhat boring and somewhat nihilistic propositions should be difficult to explain.

　　What is clear is that Ye Qingtang is far more interesting than he thought.

　　It is not a beautiful vase that was pampered and raised, and has no thoughts about the individual, about life - although, even if it is a vase, she is a unique category, so that people are willing to be on the case and carefully cared for.

　　Ying Ruyu turned to look at her and asked curiously, "What major are you studying?" ”

　　"Arts Management."

　　"I think it seems to be a dominant major at Boston University."

　　"Teacher Ying looked up to me." Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary Mei Ben and Mei Shuo, mixed with an ordinary diploma." ”

　　"Went abroad as an undergraduate?"

　　"Hmm. Seventeen years old went. At that time, the grades were not very good, and the international class of the Chinese College outside the south city was purely dependent on the family to spend money to study. My parents did not have too high requirements for me, the original intention was to let me go out to meet the world, whether I learned something is not important, anyway, back home will not be less than a bite of food to eat. ”

　　"But you seem to love what you're doing now."

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, "I gradually became interested in what I learned after I went there, and only then did I really start to invest energy and time, and continue to study for graduate school." My classmates either went to work in museums and galleries or as independent curators and worked with real art. I prefer books and have done my current job in a different way. ”

　　"Non-profit?"

　　"The first edition was free, but it didn't work well. You know, art books are professional books about painting, sculpture, installation, video, graphic design, research literature, and so on. Literary works, comics and picture books are also available, but they are not the main category of our exhibitions. Some parents do not understand, see that it is a book fair, and it is free, they will send their children over. Xinhua Bookstore's children's book district should have been seen by Teacher Ying..."

　　Ying Ruyu laughed out loud, "You can imagine." ”

　　Ye Qingtang still had palpitations in his heart, "The first session is simply unbearable to look back on." Many of our books and installations were transported over thousands of miles, and some of them may have been printed in the world in 50 copies, only to be pasted with a greasy handprint by a bear child in the exhibition. Later, it was changed to a fee. ”

　　"When is this year?"

　　"It's twice a year, July and January." Ye Qingtang turned to look at him, "I'll give you your ticket when the time comes." ”

　　"Since it is very relevant to the industry we are engaged in, it is natural to organize everyone in the office to go to the exhibition and learn." How much is the discount on group tickets? "It should be like sending a serious book.

　　Ye Qingtang smirked, "Do you want me to die?" ”

　　Chatting about the day, Ye Qingtang's mobile phone rang.

　　is the sound of a new MailTip.

　　Ye Qingtang quickly touched the mobile phone, clicked on the mailbox to see, but it was a notification email for the renewal of an APP member, and he was disappointed.

　　As you should have noticed, "Whose reply is you waiting for?" ”

　　"Hmm." Ye Qingtang simply explained that he had been rejected three times to contact Yi mustard Bookstore, "I directly emailed Mr. Tang Wangqian, the owner of Yijia Bookstore, before I left work, hoping that he could reply. ”

　　"As far as I know, Mr. Tang basically can't check his personal mailbox now, and his affairs are handled by assistants."

　　Ye Qingtang paused and realized, "Do you know Mr. Tang?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the person next to him, looked slightly thoughtful, smiled for a moment, and said, "You know the book I read at Yale." ”

　　"We seem to have discussed this issue, do we know that the other is invincible?"

　　"Well..." Ying Ru hesitated, as if wondering whether to say, "... Do you know who designed the Mustard Book House? ”

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned and almost jumped up from the sofa.

　　One of her favorite buildings in Nancheng, when Tang Wangqian did limited open visits, reservation system, and only received less than 1,000 people, and she was fortunate to get a place to visit.

　　After entering, I was amazed by the multi-functional architecture of this collection of books, living and working.

　　She does not like spectacle architecture, preferring innovations adapted to local conditions, and the Ichigo Bookstore is such a style.

　　In addition to surprise, there is also embarrassment.

　　What to say... I didn't know who it came from, because she was a big fan of the famous saying that "you don't have to know who the hen is if you like to eat eggs."

　　During this time, her investigation of Ruji was purely utilitarian, and the biography page was turned off after reading the biography overview, and as for what work he specifically designed, it was not at all among her interests.

　　Now this scene is simply a live interpretation of "Ye Gong Hao Long".

　　Sure enough, Ying Ru looked at her with a smirk and teased, "It seems that I don't know." ”

　　He was fortunate to see Ye Qingtang's ear roots flushed, as if he wanted to find a seam to evaporate on the spot, and the rare shell was stuck, completely speechless.

　　Ying Ru did not tease her, "If necessary, I can say hello to Mr. Tang." ”

　　"No, no, no," Ye Qingtang said quickly, "I don't want to go through such a back door, I don't know if you can understand." ”

　　"Rest assured, I still can't influence Old Mr. Tang's choice." I can ask his assistant to look at your email and promise them that they have their considerations. ”

　　Ye Qingtang folded his hands, "Thank you Teacher Ying!" That's enough. Anyway, I have tried my best, and I can still accept plan B. ”

　　Should be sent as if not smiling. Her passion for her work is too contagious.

　　The video phone rang suddenly.

　　"The takeaway has arrived." Ye Qingtang got up and put on his slippers and walked over to open the door.

　　Ying Ruji looked at Ye Qingtang, who was wearing only pajamas, and said, "You go and put on a coat, don't get cold, wait for me to help you open the door." ”

　　Ye Qingtang made an "OK" gesture to him.

　　After a while, there was a knock at the door.

　　Ying Ruyu walked over to open the door and brought the takeaway in.

　　A few light flavored stir-fries, two boxes of rice.

　　The two sat on either side of the table and began their belated dinner and supper.

　　Ye Qingtang had seen it, and should be very slow and rational as sending food, and at a glance, he knew that the tutor was very good, and he had developed a habit since childhood.

　　Should be sent up to the eyes, the opposite girl with one hand on the cheek, do not eat, only look at him.

　　"What to see?" He asked with a smile.

　　"Are you really not fond of sweets, or are you lying to me?"

　　"You guessed it." It should not move as if it were sent to the wind and rain.

　　"Then do you think..." Ye Qingtang's eyelashes suddenly fanned, "Am I sweet enough?" Do you love to eat? ”

　　"..."Ying Ruyu very calmly picked up a dish.

　　After eating, Ye Qingtang packed up the packing box and the dining table.

　　Leave the garbage bag at the door for the time being and prepare to bring it with you tomorrow morning.

　　She turned back into the house and saw Ying Ruyu wearing the watch she had taken off in the shower.

　　"Ready to go?"

　　"There's something to do tomorrow morning."

　　Ye Qingtang walked over, put his hands on the edge of the table on Ying Ru's side, and looked up at him, "It's still early." ”

　　Ying Ru sent the action slowly for a second, softly "clicked", and buckled the watch.

　　"Tell you a secret." She smiled with apricot eyes, and there were ripples of water under the light, and she couldn't make a mistake just by looking at it.

　　"What?"

　　"Well, my hair is naturally curly."

　　Ying Ruyu felt funny, "Is this a secret? ”

　　"Yeah. Many girls came to ask me which Tony teacher I was hot, how it was so natural and lasting. When Ye Qingtang spoke, his eyes were fixed on Ying Ruyu's wrist, the wrist bones were rugged, and his fingers were slender. She would love to experience the wonderful music played by these hands again.

　　"Then I have a secret too." It should be sent as it is said.

　　"What?"

　　"I'm afraid of itching."

　　"Where?" Ye Qingtang raised his hand, his palm pressed against his waist through the clothes, "Here? ”

　　"Next point."

　　"Here?"

　　"Here." Should be as low as the parasitial voice.

　　He lowered his arms, grabbed the wrists of her hands, wrapped them around his waist, and lowered his head.

　　Until Ye Qingtang could not breathe, he should be sent back, and the bottom of his eyes was dark.

　　He flicked his fingers at the corners of her lips, raised his hand to brush away the tissue boxes, books and other miscellaneous items on the dining table, picked her up, and let her sit on it.

　　It's still early.

　　The final chapter of rain has just sounded the first note.

Chapter 8 -08- I know a good place

　　-08-

　　Ye Qingtang fell asleep after cleaning, his thoughts were broken balloons, staying at the last moment when the gate was closed, and then floating away from the flesh.

　　Falling asleep, it was like twilight plunging into twilight.

　　When I wake up in the morning, my body feels heavy and light after going to the gym and just practicing a lot of weight.

　　Thanks to the dopamine fever last night, she was in a good mood, jumped up from the bed, pulled back the curtains, knelt down on one knee in the bay window and watched the uncle walking the dog downstairs for a while, and then went to wash up.

　　Brushing his teeth with his palms propped on the cold ceramic countertop, he glanced into the mirror, paused, and pulled the neckline open to examine. On the fair skin on his chest, a light red bruise had made him, and he couldn't remember when he had made it last night.

　　When she arrived at the office, Wu Qingshu had already arrived, and she was communicating with the two online store operators about the specific details of the "Book Blind Box" activity, took the time to look up, paused and said: "Early." ”

　　Ye Qingtang: "Early." ”

　　Putting the bag away, Ye Qingtang went to make coffee first.

　　After a while, Wu Qingshu also came over, "In such a good mood? ”

　　"A good news, and a good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

　　"Bad..." Wu Qingshu reacted, "Don't sell Guanzi, I see you can't hold back." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "The first good news, I slept with Ying Ru. ”

　　Wu Qingshu showed an expression that was difficult to say, "... next. ”

　　"The second good news, just on the way here, Tang Wangqian's assistant replied to my email, and we added WeChat."

　　"They said yes?"

　　"Not yet, his assistant said he would look at the plan first, and then give me an answer."

　　"Success or failure, to this extent there are no regrets."

　　"I think so too." Ye Qingtang nodded, his eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said, "Then do you still want to hear the causes and consequences of the first good news?" ”

　　"Leave it to yourself to savor it." Wu Qingshu's face was hesitant to avoid it.

　　"I really want to share it with people, can't you occasionally play the role of a good girlfriend?"

　　Wu Qingshu sighed, she thought that there was no man in the world who could resist Ye Qingtang's pampering, and neither could a woman, "... You say. ”

　　"I won't go into the details..."

　　"I don't want to hear the details either."

　　"Overall, he's 100 percent in tune with my body. Do you know what 100% means? ”

　　"I learned math in elementary school."

　　“...... And when I went out this morning, I found that before he left last night, he also helped me take away all the garbage at the door. ”

　　"Please ask the takeaway guy to help you carry the garbage down."

　　In this way, Ye Qingtang had to release a big move, and she compared three fingers.

　　“...... It is indeed not easy to be at such an advanced age. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was almost amused by her cold and poisonous tongue, "No, not a total of three times, yes..." She slightly lowered her voice, "orgas-m."

　　Wu Qingshu finally had a little reaction, "Congratulations, you don't have to pick up the trial package issued by the small toy pr for the time being." ”

　　Ye Qingtang picked up the coffee cup and took a sip happily.

　　Wu Qingshu was vaguely worried, "Qingtang, don't blame me for splashing cold water, you know there is a word called playing with fire and self-immolation." ”

　　Ye Qingtang didn't think anything of it, and smiled and said, "Don't underestimate my degree of sanity." ”

　　The two returned to the work seat, Ye Qingtang first dealt with some work WeChat, and when he was idle, he sent a message to Ying Ru: Teacher Ying, the book you sent you forgot to take away last night. ”

　　The message took more than half an hour to get a reply.

　　Should be sent as: trouble first help me save, next time take.

　　Ye Qingtang: Do you have time to have dinner together in the evening? I've got it in my bag and sent it to you.

　　If you send a photo, some high-speed service area.

　　Ye Qingtang: On a business trip?

　　Should be sent as: go to the East Side.

　　Ye Qingtang calculated the departure time according to the distance in the service area: Did you leave early in the morning?

　　Should be sent as: 7 o'clock.

　　It was past midnight when he left her house.

　　Ye Qingtang: How many days to go?

　　It should be sent as follows: Dongcheng has a periodic acceptance of projects under construction. Two or three days.

　　Ye Qingtang: It's been so long. I'll be lonely.

　　Waited a while, should be sent as if there was no reply.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and typed: I went to work, let's not talk about it. You must be the first to find me when you come back.

　　Ying Ruyu only responded to the first half of her sentence: Go busy.

　　When the day was close to leaving work, Ye Qingtang received a reply from Assistant Tang Wangqian on WeChat, saying that she had read the planning case and had a brief chat with Mr. Tang.

　　Tang Wangqian's attitude is that he feels that this project is quite meaningful and is willing to support the work of cultural dissemination, but he has doubts about the implementation of the details, and hopes to meet with them for a small discussion, the place is about in a mustard bookstore, and the time is set by them.

　　After wu Qingshu and Wu Qingshu also determined the time, Ye Qingtang and the opposite side scheduled to meet at 11 o'clock tomorrow.

　　Ye Qingtang has always not fought an unprepared battle, in order to seize the opportunity of tomorrow, she turned out the text and video materials of previous sessions, divided her work with Wu Qingshu, and made a detailed arrangement of Tang Wangqian's concerns.

　　The rest of the staff and interns left at the point, and the two worked overtime until eleven o'clock in the evening.

　　Wu Qingshu and Ye Qingtang stopped by the road and took her car back.

　　The two people were so tired that they didn't talk, and they listened to radio music along the way, but their hearts were very fulfilling.

　　The car drove first to the community where Wu Qingshu rented, and before getting off the car, she asked Ye Qingtang: "Do you want to go to my place to rest, it's so late." ”

　　They often go to each other's homes to stay overnight, because they are of equal height and body type, and the problem of changing clothes is also very easy to solve.

　　Ye Qingtang said, "I may have to go back to my father's place." Our tea garden has not just harvested spring tea, I will go back to get two boxes and make souvenirs tomorrow. ”

　　"It's been hard."

　　"Sister Qingshu will not work hard to help me buy breakfast tomorrow morning."

　　Wu Qingshu smiled, "What do you want to eat?" ”

　　"The one near your house."

　　Wu Qingshu agreed to come down, pulled open the door and got out of the car, "Bye-bye - pay attention to safety." ”

　　"Bye bye."

　　The next morning, Ye Qingtang went to the office with tea leaves, and Wu Qingshu arrived on his back feet, carrying the scribe she had in mind.

　　Afraid of soaking up, Wu Qingshu also deliberately asked the boss to separate the copy and the soup.

　　At ten o'clock, Ye Qingtang drove Wu Qingshu to the Mustard Bookstore.

　　It was a whole white building, and from the outside, there was no redundant decoration, like a light snow on the top of a mountain, white and pure and interesting.

　　After entering the door, there is no hole in the sky, and the building is divided into two parts, the main hall and the auxiliary hall, one round and one side, one high and one low.

　　The building is still dominated by a large area of white, but in the right place, there will always be a window, a clump of bamboo leaves, a wooden bench... They are dotted with both function and aesthetics, eliminating the boredom and visual fatigue caused by pure white.

　　The main building has three floors, mainly the place where Tang Wangqian used to store books, the wide steps spiral upward spiral upwards, and one side of the wall has elaborate hollows, inlaid with glass, sealing Mr. Tang's most proud ancient books.

　　The annex is a flat floor with an attic, where Tang Wangqian lives, works, and meets guests. The large skylight that flies obliquely provides plenty of natural light even in winter.

　　The flat foundation was raised, leaving a height of three steps, and below the long steps was the courtyard, and the steps served as both outdoor benches. There is a persimmon tree in the courtyard, which Mr. Tang lao specially transplanted from his hometown.

　　In late autumn, the persimmons in the hometown are frosted, attracting birds and finches to peck, charcoal pots are burned in the courtyard, and Mr. Tang sits on the steps drinking tea.

　　He said it was the ultimate answer he had pursued all his life, about life.

　　This is a documentary about Tang Wangqian, last night before going to bed, Ye Qingtang deliberately turned it out and watched it again.

　　At the door of the Mustard Bookstore, Ye Qingtang sent a WeChat message to the assistant, and after a while, the assistant came out to pick them up.

　　The two men walked into the gate with their assistants, and in the wide courtyard, Ye Qingtang stopped slightly, looking up at the sun.

　　The building is as simple and graceful as when she first visited it, like a white crane gracefully combing its feathers.

　　At this moment, after learning that it came from the right hand, I will feel somewhat different from the previous observation experience.

　　-

　　The process of talking with Tang Wangqian was much smoother than Ye Qingtang expected.

　　Mr. Tang's biggest concern is that the exhibition is crowded with people, which may cause damage to the building.

　　Ye Qingtang showed Tang Wangqian their preventive measures in this regard in the past, such as reasonable moving line planning before the exhibition was set up to avoid crowd congestion; it was not allowed to bring unsealed food when entering the venue, and special personnel were allowed to explain the etiquette of the exhibition; there would be professionally trained staff at any time to monitor and remind; real-name registration was carried out when purchasing tickets, with electronic monitoring equipment, and the damage caused could also be specific to the person for accountability, and so on.

　　According to past experience, after the implementation of the real-name system to purchase tickets, most of the audience participating in the exhibition are the target users of the exhibition, their consciousness and quality are on the benchmark line, and almost no major damage has been caused to the exhibition site and the exhibition hall.

　　The meticulousness and professionalism of Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu finally impressed Tang Wangqian, and he agreed to open the front yard and main hall of the Mustard Book House for them to use for a week.

　　Follow-up relevant departments for the record, fire inspection and other work if you need to cooperate with the mustard bookstore, you can directly dock with his assistant.

　　Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu maintained polite smiles until the end of the meeting, until they walked out of the door, and finally they couldn't hold back, hugged and cheered.

　　Ye Qingtang sent out good news in the studio group: on Friday, the team was built, and what you wanted to eat could start proposing.

　　Back at the studio, Ye Qingtang took the time to send a message to Ying Ru, with serious and sincere wording: he had just met with Mr. Tang Lao, and he had promised to cooperate with us. Thank you Teacher Ying, back to the South City when you have time to contact me, I invite you to dinner.

　　Until the evening, I should reply as if I sent it: I didn't pay attention to WeChat in the afternoon. Congratulations, success is good.

　　Ye Qingtang had already taken a bath and was lying on the bed, and he wanted to touch him.

　　As a result, his tone was more official than hers, and he had an elderly stance, which made her a little unable to pick up.

　　So give up.

　　-

　　On Friday, the studio team built to eat hot pot.

　　Ye Qingtang's team is all young people, almost all of them are gathered together because of interest, so the overall atmosphere is very lively and harmonious.

　　Except for Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu, who are more like leaders when assigning tasks and paying salaries, other times they are more like the logistics support of the entire team.

　　After eating, everyone was still unsatisfied and wanted to go clubbing.

　　Ye Qingtang finally remembered the dinner group that she did not disturb, clicked in @ Han Jun, and asked him where he was.

　　Han Jun sent a positioning: the field was just hot, hurry over.

　　Ye Qingtang led a group of people to kill them in a mighty way.

　　Han Jun arranged all the people That Ye Qingtang had brought with him, and let Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu go to the small booth he opened alone to chat.

　　After sitting for a while, Ye Qingtang planned to go dancing.

　　Wu Qingshu refused to go, she took off her coat and went alone.

　　Han Jun and Wu Qingshu were left, and the two had met many times, but they were really not very familiar.

　　Han Jun drank wine, and his eyes drifted over to look at Wu Qingshu from time to time. Wu Qingshu is a well-known cold beauty in their common circle, Han Jun has wanted to talk to people many times, but there is always a thief who has no thief's guts.

　　At this moment, under the chaotic light, Wu Qingshu sat coldly and coldly, did not speak, and only occasionally raised his glass to drink a sip of wine.

　　After perceiving Han Jun's gaze, she glanced over.

　　Han Jun immediately instigated, hiding his embarrassment and laughing, "Eat a fruit plate?" Do I order one? ”

　　"Don't eat."

　　Han Jun was once again in the air.

　　The atmosphere condensed into ice, and Han Jun felt that it was not good to leave people here alone, so he always sat with him and did not get up.

　　He tried to think of a topic, just about to open his mouth, turned his head to look at it, but found that Wu Qingshu was looking sheepishly at a man near the bar.

　　-

　　Ye Qingtang danced back and found that Wu Qingshu was not in his seat.

　　"What about people?"

　　Han Jun said, "She went looking for someone to go, and she said she couldn't come back, so she asked me to talk to you." ”

　　"Who are you looking for?"

　　"I don't know, a man."

　　Ye Qingtang had a bad premonition in his heart.

　　Han Jun handed her the mobile phone that Ye Qingtang had entrusted to Wu Qingshu for safekeeping.

　　Ye Qingtang took over, unlocked a look, and unexpectedly had new news that should be sent.

　　Should be sent as follows: After work?

　　Ye Qingtang quickly replied: Playing. Are you back in the South Side?

　　Should be sent as: Hmm.

　　Ye Qingtang: I'm in a bar, do you want to come over and play?

　　Should be sent as: No. Can't stand the noise. You play, come back.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and typed: Can you come and pick me up? I invite you to have a late-night snack.

　　She saw that the input was flashing and stopping, stopping flashing, and finally, Ying Ru replied with two words: positioning.

　　-

　　You should drive the car to the bar door according to the address, stop at the side of the road, and turn on the double flashing lights.

　　He put his hands on the steering wheel and turned his head to look out the window.

　　The people at the door went in, and after a while, the familiar figure came out.

　　She wore a crop top, a blazer, and tonal blazer shorts. On the feet are the boots of the middle gang, revealing straight and slender legs.

　　However, after looking at the door for a while, several men gathered around.

　　It is estimated that either she was accosted or proposed to send her home, and some people directly pressed the car keys, and the lights of a Porsche 911 on the side of the road flashed.

　　Ying Ru saw that she had a clever smile and a flexible look, but she had never seen her such a stinky face--she seemed to think that those who talked to her were as annoying as flies, frowning with a straight face, not squinting, and not even a superfluous look.

　　Ying Ru couldn't help but laugh, picked up the phone and sent a WeChat message: look at the opposite side.

　　He saw Ye Qingtang look at the mobile phone, followed by looking up, the gaze must be, for a moment, he carried the chain bag and walked in his direction.

　　Ye Qingtang pulled the car door and got into the car.

　　You should immediately smell the warm aroma of the familiar tropical grasses and trees, mixed with a little sweat, and...

　　"Hot pot for dinner?" He asked with a smile.

　　Ye Qingtang tugged at his clothes and sniffed them, making an exaggerated expression, "... Help, it stinks. ”

　　Ying Ru's expression was as calm as ever, "Want to take a shower?"

　　He glanced at it, but there was a dark background in his eyes, "... I know a good place. ”

Chapter 9 -09- Come and check it out for yourself

　　-09-

　　Ye Qingtang's eyes curved out in a nice arc, "I hope there is still a washing machine in that good place."

　　Ying Ruyu slowly withdrew his gaze from her face, smiled softly, and put his hands on the steering wheel.

　　Ye Qingtang stared at his bony hands, the faint cyan veins, and the silver metal watch on his wrist.

　　Like there are invisible raindrops falling on the mouth of the heart, vaguely itchy, but can not scratch.

　　She was a hopeless hand.

　　At the moment the car started, Ye Qingtang's chain bag on her knee slipped down, and she bent down to fish, and Ying Ru raised her arm to light up the reading light above her head.

　　"Thank you." Ye Qingtang leaned to the side, put the bag he picked up on his side, and casually started a topic, "Is your project in Dongcheng still going well?" ”

　　"The weather in the first two weeks was a little bit of a delay, which was fine."

　　"Will you wear that?"

　　"What?" Ying Ru did not keep up with her train of thought.

　　"Hard hats."

　　Ying Ru smiled, "Wear it." There are rules and regulations on the site. ”

　　Ye Qingtang stared at him intently, "I can't imagine what you look like wearing a hard hat." I can only use Song Yunhui to make up for it. ”

　　"Who is Song Yunhui?"

　　"The male protagonist of a domestic drama." ——Teacher Ying should not have much time to watch the drama. ”

　　"It's busy, it's hard to have a full time. Sometimes I watch Netflix, but most of them only open one or two episodes. ”

　　"Teacher Ying has so little time, then I must grasp it."

　　She smiled, and took out the second half of the sentence, each word, and pinched out the ambiguous -ambiguous that made people think.

　　As if a hint of the way, Ying Ruyu seems to have unconsciously stepped on the accelerator a little more and pressed against the maximum speed limit.

　　Twenty minutes or so later, the car pulled into an upscale neighborhood.

　　The separation of people and cars in the community should be driven in from the door of the car and driven directly into the underground garage.

　　Ye Qingtang got out of the car, and Ying Ruji pulled open the driver's seat door and said to her, "Wait, I'll go to the trunk to get something." ”

　　Ye Qingtang took two steps forward and stood in front of the front of the car waiting.

　　Should be sent around to the back of the car, open the trunk, for a while, hold out two cardboard boxes.

　　"Heavy? Need help holding one? ”

　　"Not heavy." Ying Ru smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

　　Ye Qingtang followed Ying Ru to the side, looking around, the garage was very new and clean, and the parking space lines on the ground seemed to have just been demarcated.

　　"Teacher Ying, how is the property in this community?"

　　"It was ok. What's wrong? ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Don't tell you, I often drive through here, and I once planned to tell my dad to ask him to buy another set here, so that I can sleep at least twenty minutes more in the morning." ”

　　"The place where you live now is really not very close to your studio."

　　"Our studio was originally rented near the Guanlan apartment, so my dad helped me buy a small house there. Later, the storage space was not enough, so it moved to the high-tech park. ”

　　"What does the storage area do?"

　　"Sell books, otherwise the exhibition will be held twice a year alone, the cycle will be long and the money will be fast, and you will drink the northwest wind."

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Isn't selling books the least profitable business now?" ”

　　"Yes. However, the types of books we sell are more special, even at the end of the long tail, the general bookstore is not in stock, there is no competitive pressure. Then the books imported from abroad can barely earn a little difference, and they can make a living. My next step is to prepare to do cultural creation, this money comes quickly. ”

　　Ying Ruji smiled at the person walking next to her, and whenever she mentioned work, she would always be full of desire to share.

　　She has an ability to perfectly integrate innocence with Hui Huang, just like the industry she is engaged in is remote and unpopular, with its own style of Yangchun white snow, but she so frankly mentioned that "cultural creativity comes to money quickly", and there is no half a city servant.

　　Entering the elevator, He said, "Help press the 18th floor." ”

　　Ye Qingtang reached for the button, and should have noticed that the color of her nails had changed.

　　There are two households on the first floor, which should be deposited as 1801.

　　Push open a fire door to enter, is the entrance door.

　　Between the fire door and the entrance door, there is also 3 square meters of space, which is basically equivalent to the gift of the entrance hallway.

　　It was unobstructed and unmodified, with black carpets, black shoe cabinets, gray leather circular shoe changing stools, and an irregularly shaped Klein Blue Acrylic umbrella storage bucket.

　　You should send the two cardboard boxes slightly against the wall, hold the left arm with one hand, and free up the fingerprint of the right hand to unlock.

　　He opened the door and unloaded the cardboard box on the floor of the foyer, and should have said "please come in" as he said, but he was immediately embarrassed.

　　In a moment, he pulled open the shoe cabinet door and took out a pair of linen cloth mops from inside, "Only my slippers, will I wear them?" ”

　　The size is much larger, and Ye Qingtang is pulling on the heelless foot, which is very laborious.

　　She simply stopped wearing it.

　　Ying Ruyu glanced down at her bare feet on the gray tiles of the foyer and reminded, "I haven't cleaned it for three days, there is ash." ”

　　"It doesn't matter."

　　Ye Qingtang let go of his hand and threw the chain bag on the entry cabinet and walked in barefoot briskly.

　　Black and white and gray are mainly three colors, and gray and blue are embellished to neutralize the cold feeling of space.

　　"Did you do the decoration yourself?" Ye Qingtang asked.

　　"I didn't have time, so I left it to a friend to do the whole thing." Ying Ru raised his hand to put down the total control open, LDK integrated space, the lights are lit up in unison.

　　"What's the drink?" You should go over and open the refrigerator door.

　　Ye Qingtang followed and huddled beside him to investigate.

　　It was richer than she thought, pure water, beer, coconut water, juice.

　　Ye Qingtang placed the object on the refrigerator door and found a strip of cold-extracted black tea, "I want to drink this." ”

　　"Drinking tea at night is not afraid of not being able to sleep?" You should ask with a smile.

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head, his eyes bright, as if illuminated by the clean and pale light in the refrigerator, and like a small moon rising out of thin air, "... Will I go to bed early tonight? She asked with a smile.

　　As if he were looking down, his gaze slid over the tip of her nose and down to see her distinct collarbone accentuated by the thin silver chain around her neck. Slightly sunken between the collarbones, there is a small pendant strung on a silver chain, which is carefully distinguished as an "L" shape.

　　Ying Ruyu did not answer, and turned his eyes to the refrigerator, "Do you want anything else?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and reached out and took out a bottle of coconut water.

　　You should take a glass from the cupboard and take it to the sink of Nakajima to clean it.

　　In a moment, Ye Qingtang came over again. The blazer on his body was taken off, and he was wearing only a white crop top suspender shirt.

　　She took a sip of the coconut water, put it on the table, and then leaned over to him, "I'll wash my hands." ”

　　Two plain white hands reached under the tap.

　　Ying Ru paused and gave way to the side first.

　　Under the flowing water, her new nail polish took on the color of a ripe, slightly purple berry.

　　You should pour the glass upside down, shake the water, and gently set aside.

　　Ye Qingtang washed her hands and was just about to take them back, when she suddenly felt that she should take a step behind her back.

　　One arm reached for the edge of the table beside her, while the other reached over to her side and reached for the sink, clasping her five fingers, which were still drenched in cool water.

　　Ye Qingtang paused.

　　The hand closed the tap and lifted it up to put its arms around her waist.

　　Her hands were still wet, and when she was next to them, she couldn't help but shrink, and the next moment, she felt the glass dial clinging to the skin on her waist, slightly cool and hard, and the feeling of trembling instantly flew from her toes to the top of her head.

　　Her palms rested on the edge of the stage and she stooped slightly.

　　A slight stream of hot air floated around her ears, and she should bow her head, and the hand that was propped up on her side lifted up and gently squeezed her chin. She turned back to meet his kiss.

　　For a long time, Ye Qingtang gently pushed.

　　"Huh?"

　　"I want to take a shower first, I can't stand the smell of my body." Ye Qingtang said with a light smile.

　　Should be sent to send a loose hand.

　　Ye Qingtang pulled down his shirt, "Is there a suitable dress for me to wear?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu seemed to be embarrassed again, and for a moment, he took her to the cloakroom.

　　He opened a closet door and was about to pick it out when the incoming phone outside suddenly rang and said, "I'll take a call." See for yourself first? ”

　　The call was from Chu Yu, asking about the Dongcheng project.

　　Ying Ru sent a long chat, hung up the phone, and then returned to the cloakroom, Ye Qingtang had already entered the bathroom of the master bedroom.

　　On the changing stool, her clothes were scattered, a whole set, from the inside out.

　　You should send it back to the island and continue to wash the cups.

　　After washing, the cold extract black tea was brewed for Ye Qingtang.

　　Then he went to the foyer and moved the two cardboard boxes into the study to sort out the contents.

　　After more than ten minutes, I noticed the shaking of people outside.

　　Ying Ruyu was just about to make a sound to remind ye Qingtang that he had already walked towards the door.

　　Should be sent to raise your eyes, a meal.

　　Ye Qingtang wore a black shirt with a long dress, the hem and thighs.

　　The wet hair was no longer so untamed, soft and dripping with water.

　　"I don't think I found a hairdryer." She laughed.

　　Ying Ru put away the things in his hand and walked toward the door.

　　Ye Qingtang followed behind him, barefoot, silent, only the scent of his usual shampoo and bath liquid.

　　As she passed the cloakroom, Ying Ruyu glanced casually at all the clothes she had changed on the stool, still left there as they were, and not a single one had been moved.

　　so......

　　Ying Ru sent into the bathroom, looked for it, found the top of the towel rack and found the hair dryer that was blocked by the towel, plugged in the plug, and handed it to Ye Qingtang.

　　Ye Qingtang turned on the hair dryer.

　　In the whistling warm wind, she saw in the mirror that Ying Ruyu did not go out, but leaned on the bathroom door with her arms folded, her lips opened and closed, and said something.

　　"What?" She turned off the blowing.

　　"I said, I have a problem." It should sound as calm as if it were a message.

　　"What's the problem?"

　　Ying Ru glanced over at the hem of the shirt and motioned to ask her what she was wearing underneath.

　　I had never seen such a should in the light, and my expression was calm, but my eyes were dark and I was dormant and eager to hunt.

　　Or something else, more dangerous emotions with omens.

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, his voice was like a slightly melted diamond candy, "Why don't you come over and confirm it yourself?" ”

Chapter 10 -10- Meritorious names should be sent as they are, and poems and wine should be floating...

　　-10-

　　Ying Ruyi stepped forward, ye Qingtang only felt that the lights and shadows above his head seemed to be shaking.

　　Warm breath approached from behind his ear, and his palm came straight to him, knowing the truth of the unhindered.

　　Ye Qingtang stood unsteadily, his fingers propped up the edge of the platform.

　　She saw Ying Ruyu in the mirror slightly raised an eyebrow, revealing an expression of "if it is so".

　　His fingertips were slightly cool, and Ye Qingtang couldn't see it, all by imagination.

　　The appearance of this hand had long been imprinted in her mind, with short, cleanly trimmed nails, distinct bone joints, and slightly bulging pale cyan blood vessels on the back of the hand when forced.

　　In the mirror, his expression gradually fell, and the water mist in his eyes was thick.

　　On the other hand, Ying Ruyu is completely calm, if he is a doctor, just look at the expression, he will think that he is concentrating on a surgical operation that must be precisely operated.

　　But Ye Qingtang knew that it was not, he was not so calm, and the touching touch behind his waist had betrayed him.

　　Ye Qingtang laughed.

　　"Laughing at what?" You should ask in a deep voice.

　　Her washed hair was darker than it had been when it was dry, and it emitted a moist aroma like citrus after the rain, holding his breath firmly in place. She occasionally leaned back, and her hair wet the shirt on his chest.

　　Ye Qingtang's breathing was scattered, "I was thinking, Teacher Ying, you are indeed a Capricorn." ”

　　She used the stereotype of the constellation to set him up, meaning that he was very sullen, and he simply used this set of theories to pay tribute, and said with a low smile: You can still speak, it seems that I am not diligent enough.

　　*

　　Ye Qingtang's eyes were out of focus, and it took a while before he returned to his senses.

　　Ying Ru opened the faucet and washed her hands, seeing that she seemed to be unable to stand, so he forced his arms and directly carried her straight.

　　After a pause, he pulled out another hand to unplug and take the hair dryer on the countertop.

　　Entering the bedroom, Ying Ruyu put Ye Qingtang down, knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, extended his arm to insert the plug of the hair dryer into the socket next to the bedside table, and handed it to her.

　　Ye Qingtang lay on his back and did not answer, "Can you please help me blow?" "A childish tone that makes no one refuse.

　　You should pause and sit down by the bed.

　　Ye Qingtang adjusted the angle, his neck resting on his knees, his head dangling in the air.

　　Ying Ruyu opened the hair dryer, pressed his palm against the air outlet to try the temperature, and then fished out Ye Qingtang's hair.

　　Ye Qingtang loudly reminded, "Start blowing from the scalp first." ”

　　The humming sound came closer for a moment, and in the hot wind, Ye Qingtang closed his eyes.

　　Ying Ruyu's body had a good smelling acacia flower-like fragrance, which was different from her body, and she sucked in her nose and still asked loudly: "What is the smell on your body, so fragrant." ”

　　Ying Ruyu bowed his head, the tip of his nose leaned close to his shoulder and sniffed, adjusting the blowing wind to a low grade, Fang replied: "After returning to nancheng, I first went to my grandfather's place, and took a shower before catching up on sleep, which may be the smell of the shower gel he used at home." ”

　　"Have you already taken a shower?"

　　"Hmm."

　　In the next instant, he saw Ye Qingtang's eyes roll. She flexed her arms, fingers seemingly brushing lightly across the metal buckle of his belt around his waist.

　　She laughed, "... Mr. Ying, if I agree to your request, can you turn me in? ”

　　It should be deposited as a stay.

　　Ye Qingtang stared at him, seeing that he didn't seem to react, and smiled and said, "Don't you like this script?" What about another one? ”

　　"Click."

　　The sound of a metal buckle popping open.

　　Her voice was like a wisp of smoke rising from an incense burner, so it hooked the three souls of people, "Brother-in-law, if you don't grasp it any more, your sister will go home." ”

　　Losing your mind seemed to take only a moment.

　　The hair dryer didn't even have time to turn it off, it was just thrown aside.

　　The howling of the wind continued.

　　In a moment, Ying Ruyu reached out and pulled the plug down, and the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, replaced by some kind of muddy water sound.

　　*

　　Ye Qingtang had a dehydrated thirst.

　　The hair was half dry, not only because it hadn't been blown dry, but also because it was new sweat.

　　Piled up on the back of her neck, uncomfortable, she lay on her stomach, elbowed up her upper body, tilted her head, and brushed her hair up.

　　The sweat on the back of the neck evaporates and cools slightly.

　　You should lie on the side, your arms on your forehead, and your breathing is slightly deep and flat.

　　He glanced sideways at Ye Qingtang, and then saw the collarbone chain she was wearing around her neck, and the "L" shaped pendant was hanging in the air, swaying slightly with the movement of her palm to fan herself.

　　Reach out and gently pinch the pendant.

　　Ye Qingtang paused.

　　"L. What's the special significance?"

　　"Nothing." Ye Qingtang smiled, gently pulled the pendant back from between his fingers, and grabbed it into his palm, "I bought it when it looked good." ”

　　Should be sent as if not to say anything more.

　　I always felt that her smile at the moment was very different, and there was a sense of secrecy.

　　After resting for a while, I should get up and put my clothes and pants on.

　　He went out for a trip and came back with an extra glass in his hand.

　　Ye Qingtang sat up, took the glass, did not have time to savor what the taste of this cold black tea was, and grunted and drank it all.

　　"Is it okay to have another drink?" She reached out and handed the cup back, smiling, "Drink a little more to make up for it." ”

　　Ying Ru sent a throat knot to roll slightly, and gently squeezed her cheek before taking it.

　　When he returned, in addition to the water, he found her a bathrobe.

　　Also his, large and ankle-length.

　　Ye Qingtang got up and put it on, tied up his belt, and said, "I see that the living balcony seems to have a dryer." ”

　　"Yes."

　　Should be sent as no time and energy to dry clothes and collect clothes, generally before going to bed, the changed clothes will be thrown into the washing machine, get up early and then throw them into the dryer, set a good program, and only need to take it out and fold it up at night when you get home.

　　Sometimes when you have to go on a business trip, it is also possible to spend ten days and a half in the dryer with clothes.

　　"I want to wash my clothes." Ye Qingtang was a little resistant to wearing back the clothes that were stained with the smell of hot pot.

　　Ying Ru nodded and took her to the living balcony.

　　Ye Qingtang threw a suit inside, including the blazer that looked expensive.

　　Raise your arms and take out the laundry detergent from the locker above, "Can your clothes be machine washed and dried?" ”

　　"Yes. No, you can. Ye Qingtang laughed and said, "I generally don't buy that kind of troublesome fabric, what silk, wool." Please, clothes are for people to wear, not for people to serve. ”

　　"You must have washed a lot of clothes." Should be poured as laundry detergent, knob set program.

　　"Yeah, too lazy to look at the wash mark. Wash it and buy it again. ”

　　Don't surprise the big lady to do the pie. Ying Ru smiled.

　　Standard washing mode.

　　"It's going to take forty-five minutes." Ye Qingtang suddenly smiled and took a step forward.

　　Before Ying Ruyu could react, her bare feet stepped on the instep of his slippers one by one.

　　Afraid that she would fall, Ying Ruyu quickly reached out and put his arm around her waist.

　　She tiptoed, her fingernails lightly scratching his throat knot, and he took a half-step back, his back against the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

　　"Why, can't you wait for a while?" Should be sent a light smile.

　　"That's where you say it's good, with no slippers or a change of clothes." Ye Qingtang complained lately, she tilted her head, smiled and said, "It's very strange, Teacher Ying, didn't you take a woman home for the night before?" All go to the woman's house? Or a hotel? ”

　　Ying Ruyu did not answer the question behind her, only said, "The next time there will be." ”

　　Ye Qingtang didn't investigate deeply, she didn't care, and asking about the past was not something that their current status was suitable for.

　　"Hungry? Possibility to order a late night snack. "It should be asked as a question.

　　"Don't be hungry, the hot pot is too full."

　　"So what do you want to do?"

　　"I see that you seem to be sorting things out just now, do you need my help?"

　　"No, some technical information, it's boring."

　　Ye Qingtang thought for a moment and came down from the back of his foot, "Can I visit your study?" ”

　　There is a large bookcase in the study that should be sent, which is very full, and at a glance, almost no literary and artistic books are swept away, most of which are professional books related to his industry, mostly periodicals and magazines.

　　Ye Qingtang casually pulled out a volume, the cover of English, "Building Innovations".

　　"Didn't I go to a mustard bookstore to meet with Mr. Tang two days ago?" Ye Qingtang casually flipped over and said.

　　"Huh?" You should go to your desk and continue to sort out the information.

　　"After knowing that the Mustard Book House was designed by you, it is wonderful to visit and experience it."

　　"What do you say?"

　　"For example, isn't there an irregular quadrilateral window in the corner of the second floor of the main building?" It seems to be very abrupt, it should not be a place to open the window, but it is really open there, and it is particularly subtle. I wonder now what was going on in your mind when you decided to open the window there. There is also a lone bench in the corner of the third floor, I have observed, it has a corner is defective, is it deliberate? I don't think it's like the damage caused by the later maintenance, because Mr. Tang cares about every brick and tile of the building. ”

　　Ying Ru sent a gesture, sniffed and raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on her face, "You noticed." ”

　　He somehow looked at her very lightly, as if it came from some kind of subconscious that did not dare to disturb anything.

　　What it was, and what he was afraid of disturbing, he couldn't tell for sure.

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, hearing the subtext of his words, "It was deliberate, right?" ”

　　"The surface of the bench was transformed from the desk that Mr. Tang used in the past, and the missing corner was smashed by his hammer when he was doing handicrafts. I don't like that a building is purely 'new', and it's better to have some traces and memories that can be perpetuated, or retained entirely, or another life form. ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned the magazine over a page and thoughtfully, "Are you a nostalgic person?" ”

　　"It has nothing to do with nostalgia. I habitually look for an initial root cause, which can be meaning or motivation. Just as a house cannot be built out of thin air, a foundation is needed. It's just that the foundation here is an abstract concept. ”

　　"You don't like nothingness, chaos, and meaninglessness." Ye Qingtang concluded.

　　Ying Ru looked at the light slightly, seemed to sigh softly, and finally did not look at her, only raised his hand and lightly pressed the corner of his forehead, "I don't like it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang took the magazine and walked over to Ying Ruji's side.

　　Ying Ruyu pulled the chair back and said, "Sit." ”

　　Ye Qingtang sat down, saw a flip-flopped book on the table, and asked, "Can I read it?" ”

　　You should confirm what it is, "Yes." ”

　　Ye Qingtang put the magazine aside, held his cheek in one hand, and opened the sketchbook with the other.

　　The building design draft, not like it is to be implemented on the ground, but like it should be sent to the inspiration of the imagination, there are some strange shapes, some from her layman's point of view, but also know that it has violated the mechanics, completely unfeasible.

　　This kind of inspiration shorthand she understands, as a half-hanging art student with a foundation in drawing and oil painting, she used to draw some strange things.

　　Ye Qingtang turned over page by page, the unsharped rubber scraps clipped in the paper fell out, she pulled out a piece of paper from the tissue box, picked it up, looked down, there was a trash can under the desktop, and she reached into it.

　　Turning to a certain page, Ye Qingtang's fingers stopped.

　　Above it was a small courtyard scrawled with pencils, somewhat similar to the backyard of a mustard bookstore with persimmon trees, but more messy and more casual: a crooked tree in the yard, a stool with its roots lying down, a low wall of varying heights, and morning glory vines crawling on it.

　　In the lower right corner of this page, there is a line of words in addition to the signature and date that should be sent.

　　"Meritorious names should be sent as they are, and poems and wine should be floating." She read it out.

　　Ying Ru raised his eyes and explained, "It was two poems that my grandfather casually recited when he named him." ”

　　"Turns out your name means that. Good. Ye Qingtang held up the sketch, "Could this be your dream love room?" ”

　　"Sort of."

　　Ying Ru thought that Ye Qingtang would ask two more questions, and when she turned her head, she had already turned to the next page.

　　He smiled and didn't say anything.

　　After turning the book, Ye Qingtang heard a sound from the balcony where the washing process was over.

　　Ye Qingtang stood up, "I'll take it out and dry it." ”

　　After going for a while, Ye Qingtang returned to the study.

　　She put the sketchbook back in its place and continued to flip through the architecture magazine.

　　There should be some sense of her boredom.

　　Except for the matter of sleeping with him, she seemed to be a little careless.

　　That's nothing.

　　He thought calmly. That's how their relationship is.

　　For a moment, Ying Ru stopped what she was doing and decided to rescue her from boredom.

　　He reached out and turned the chair around.

　　Ye Qingtang is unknown.

　　He bent down around her waist and lifted her from her chair.

　　Ye Qingtang was afraid of falling, so he quickly put his arms around his shoulders.

　　Ying Ruyu carried her out.

　　"Eh." Ye Qingtang smiled, "Not in the study?" ”

　　Ying Ruji did not answer, and the backhand covered the study door.

　　Back in the bedroom, on the messy bed.

　　When Ye Qingtang fell on his back, his fingers would be like a collar.

　　The body fell down, and Ying Ruyu looked at Ye Qingtang's smiling eyes.

　　I want these eyes to be soaked with the color of desire. She has a focused face when she indulges in indulgence.

　　-

　　By the end of the day, it was late at night.

　　The sweat evaporated, the skin was slightly tense and cold, and Ye Qingtang asked softly, "Is the drying over?" ”

　　"It should be over."

　　"I'll lie down and get up."

　　Ying Ruyu turned to look at her and said in a flat voice, "You can rest here." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and shook his head.

　　Needless to say, the meaning is self-explanatory.

　　Ying Ru thought about it and did not save it.

　　At this time, the mobile phone that should be stored in the living room rang.

　　He put on his clothes and got up and walked out of the bedroom.

　　Ye Qingtang lay down for a while and got up.

　　Walked over to the bedroom door and glanced into the living room.

　　But he saw Ying Ru sitting on the sofa, his eyes hanging down, and Qingjun's face was expressionless.

　　I don't know who is on the other side of the phone, but he has very few responses, only responses such as "um" and "I know".

　　Ye Qingtang seemed to be seeing this side of Ying Ruji for the first time.

　　He completely abandoned the decency that would be maintained even if he was unhappy, leaving only simple boredom and helplessness that seemed to be unable to escape and had to fight mentally.

　　Ex-girlfriend?

　　Ye Qingtang rejected this idea.

　　She believes that with the cultivation of the right way, the relationship between men and women must be handled without leaks, and he should be the type of person who can continue to be friends after the breakup.

　　Ying Ruyu noticed her standing in the doorway.

　　He reached for his phone a little farther away and looked up at her, "Wait, I'll send you back later." ”

　　As he spoke, he still had a three-point intimidating look.

　　Ye Qingtang pointed to the bathroom and signaled that he was going to clean it up again.

　　Ying Ru nodded, and then continued to answer the phone expressionlessly.

　　Ye Qingtang finished washing and changed back into his clothes.

　　Ying Ru answered the phone, went to the bathroom and cloakroom, came out in a moment, and changed into a clean dress.

　　White shirt and black trousers, when standing under the lamp button watch, there is a sense of Zhilan jade tree.

　　Ye Qingtang had to leave.

　　Not staying overnight is the principle she has drawn for herself, and she is aware of her inertia, afraid that if she stays with the latter, she will overcome the former.

　　After the car drove out of the underground garage, Ye Qingtang opened the window for the first time.

　　The late-night tidal wind blew in, and she squinted her eyes.

　　The love songs were playing on the radio, and she lazily leaned back in her chair and looked at Ying Ruyu.

　　Should be sent as very silent.

　　Probably caused by that phone call.

　　Ye Qingtang thought about it, but still asked, "What bothers you?" ”

　　She didn't ask whose phone it was.

　　Ying Ru seemed to be returning to God, turned his head to look at her, and smiled lightly, "Things at home." ”

　　In this way, Ye Qingtang was inconvenient to ask more.

　　There was silence all the way.

　　Ye Qingtang vaguely felt at this moment that the reason why she and Ying Ruyu got along was that the atmosphere was relaxed, but it was actually because Ying Ruyu was willing to cooperate with her, just like playing ball, coming and going.

　　And when the opposite side is not picked up, the ball can only land on the ground.

　　She was slightly irritable and didn't like the feeling very much.

　　The car arrived at the door of the Guanlan apartment complex.

　　Ye Qingtang was about to pull the car door and stopped again.

　　She turned, her palm resting on the storage compartment, and leaned toward Ying Ruyu.

　　The breath was close, and the lips were only a few feet away from him, but she was no longer close.

　　She stared straight into his eyes, for a moment.

　　Frozen time, like a silent confrontation.

　　For a moment, he should look down as if he had sent his eyes and staggered his gaze.

　　He jerked his palm against her waist, paused, and leaned down to kiss her.

Chapter 11 -11- Do you want me to coax you?

　　-11-

　　After entering the house, Ye Qingtang stepped on his boots, changed into slippers, threw his bag on the sofa at will, returned to the bedroom, and fell on the bed.

　　After lying down for a while, he took the mobile phone and sent a message to Wu Qingshu.

　　Ye Qingtang: Beauty, who did you go with?

　　Ye Qingtang: Don't tell me it's Fang Shao.

　　After waiting for a long time, Wu Qingshu did not reply.

　　Ye Qingtang gave a scolding grin and threw away his mobile phone.

　　She lay down for a while, not drowsy, turned over and took the tablet on the side, clicked on the mailbox, and began to write emails.

　　I wrote two lines, stopped, and deleted the words "Dear Mr.Lin, I am so glad that your new literature has been published" at the beginning of the English language and replaced it with Chinese.

　　"Teacher Lin:

　　"Spring is coming to an end, how are you doing?"

　　"I'm glad to hear that your work 'Cuckoo Bells' has recently been published.

　　"I dare to write because the fourth edition of abapsp will be held in July, and I hope to be able to exhibit your new work for the first time in China..."

　　Ye Qingtang couldn't write anymore, threw the tablet aside, and the whole person fell down, his face buried tightly into the pillow.

　　Spring is coming to an end.

　　And I seem to be rotting.

　　-

　　The car stopped in front of the door of the willow house, and should be sent to sit in the cab for a long time before he unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.

　　There was an old willow tree in front of the door, and it had been there since the first time Ying Ruji had just remembered coming here to eat.

　　At noon, the spring light is good, the silk is turquoise, and everything should look like a vibrant appearance.

　　Entering the door, a waiter came to entertain.

　　Should be sent as promised to book a seat, on the second floor of the private room.

　　The name of the private room was "Acacia Moon", and the waiter led him upstairs and knocked on the hidden door on his behalf.

　　"Please come in."

　　The waiter pushed open the door and should go in.

　　Liang Suzhi sat at the top, wearing a dark blue cheongsam, with his hair in a low bun, a string of jade beads wrapped around his wrists, and was carrying a purple sand pot to pour tea into a white porcelain teacup.

　　Lu Mao sat next to her, wearing a gray pullover sweatshirt and brushing his mobile phone with his head down.

　　As soon as he entered the door, Lu Mao immediately got up and smiled and said hello, "Brother." ”

　　Liang Suzhi glanced up at him, and his tone was flat, "It's rare to want to see you." ”

　　You should send the back of the chair a little, the expression on your face has not changed, put the cake, sit down, and hand over the gifts you chose in the morning to the mall, "Happy birthday to you." ”

　　Liang Suzhi glanced at it and took it, and there was not much joy on his face.

　　She waved to the waiter waiting at the door, "Let's start serving." ”

　　"Okay." The waiter withdrew.

　　Liang Suzhi handed the purple sand pot to Ying Ruyu and motioned for him to pour the tea himself, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

　　"It's still the same as before."

　　"Is your grandfather in good health?"

　　"The old way. Diabetes, you have to pay attention to diet at all times. ”

　　Liang Suzhi frowned, as if in disgust and casually asked, "What about your father?" ”

　　"Haven't met recently."

　　Liang Suzhi snorted softly.

　　This is a must-talk topic every time we meet, and the "standard answer" that Liang Suzhi is looking forward to is probably to hope that she should be sent to inform her that her father should be unhappy with Zhongze, and the evening scenery is desolate, and he will die in the near future.

　　Liang Suzhi and Ying Zhongze are typical models of lovers becoming resentful couples.

　　Liang Suzhi is fifty-five years old this year, but he looks like he is only in his forties, and when he was young, he naturally said that he was a beautiful person who was radiant.

　　Ying Ru's grandfather was a university professor, and his grandmother took over the business of his mother's family.

　　The Ying family is not a rich and noble family, but it is also considered to be well-clothed and foody.

　　Ying Zhongze was born handsome and handsome, and because his mother and maternal grandparents doted on him, his discipline was loose, and he was infected with a clumsy habit.

　　Such Ying Zhongze, and Liang Suzhi and the two golden wind and jade dew met, fell in love for less than two months and were ready to get married.

　　The Ying family did not agree, so the two stole the family's household registration skills and lived alone in the rented house.

　　Grandma Ying became angry and cut off Ying Zhongze's source of income.

　　Ying Zhongze took the last bit of savings to start a business, and as a result, he was eager to win and trust his friends, losing only a pair of bottom pants, relying on Liang Suzhi's unstable income as a fashion model to subsidize the family.

　　Later, Liang Suzhi became pregnant, and after showing her pregnancy, her figure was out of shape, and the modeling work did not have to be done.

　　At the most difficult time, the two ate steamed buns and swallowed pickles, and Ying Zhongze soaked Liang Suzhi's feet with hot water at night, saying that your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law have suffered with me, and I will never fail you.

　　The parents of the Ying family could not bear to make people hungry and clothed and warm, and finally relaxed and took the two home.

　　When the child was born, the two were so good that they mixed oil.

　　With the help of his mother and uncle, Ying Zhongze's own business gradually got on track.

　　But after a long time, Ying Zhongze returned to his prodigal nature, and the reward field came and went, gradually losing his measure.

　　Rumors reached Liang Suzhi's ears, and the two had a big fight.

　　Liang Suzhi refused to accept this grievance, and treated his body in the way of a human being.

　　During that time, the news was boiling, and everyone ridiculed, saying that Professor Ying's son and daughter-in-law played well and openly, open marriage, and foreign countries were fashionable about this.

　　It is better to say that the two really rationally reached an "open marriage", but Ying Zhongze only allowed the governor to set fire to the people and not allow the people to light the lamp.

　　Where Liang Suzhi was satisfied, the two of them had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, and the quarrel was so angry that they smashed the pots and pans at home without a complete piece.

　　When Ying Ruji was six years old, the two finally divorced.

　　The child was sentenced to Ying Zhongze.

　　Ying Zhongze basically ignored it, threw the child to his parents, and continued to spend the day and drink while entering the gold day by day.

　　The story isn't over yet.

　　After half a year, the two somehow got together again, like old love, and violently wanted to remarry.

　　However, this relationship eventually collapsed on the eve of the remarriage, and the specific reasons were that the two parties had their own opinions, one said that it was difficult for Zhongze Jiangshan to change his nature, and one said that Liang Suzhishui-Sex Yang Hua saw the hunting heart.

　　In the end, it ended up in a chicken feather.

　　After the divorce, the two did not stop fighting, but no longer confronted each other, but transferred the battlefield to Ying Ruji, the middleman.

　　One should be sent as follows: Tell your father, really when that fox is good to mess with? I've heard of her reputation. You can cover your money bag.

　　Another one should be sent as a message: tell your mother, if you want to remarry, you must also have a bright eye, and you want to let the three of you give my son as a stepfather, and there is no door.

　　Later, the two formed their own families, and Liang Suzhi also had another child with her current husband, that is, Lu Mao.

　　But the mutual stabbing between each other never stopped.

　　It should be sandwiched between them for more than twenty years, and the abdomen and back are affected by the enemy on both sides, and the heart is exhausted.

　　Only a few years ago, Ying Zhongze had a serious illness, and the two stopped slightly.

　　At the moment, Liang Suzhi snorted softly and said, "The new person is more than twenty years younger than him, and there are such young people waiting in front of him, I expect him to be very useful." ”

　　Ying Ruyu only felt a headache, but did not say anything, calmly smiled and said: "You have a birthday today, why mention unhappy things." ”

　　Liang Suzhi: "You also know that today is my birthday." I don't see you making one on the phone either. ”

　　Ying Ruyu had to explain: "Yesterday morning I was still on a business trip in the East Side. I was going to call you this morning. ”

　　Liang Suzhi looked him up and down, "I still do this kind of laborious work." Your dad didn't persuade you to take over his business? ”

　　Ying Ru said in a flat voice, "You know that I am not good at business. ”

　　"If you learn it, you won't be able to do it." Liang Suzhi did not persuade much, and he casually mentioned the tone.

　　The waiter first served the four-color cold dish, Liang Suzhi took the chopsticks, clipped a piece of pickled radish, "Your classmate Chu Yu, when will you get engaged?" ”

　　"In the second half of the year, wait until Jenny graduates."

　　"You don't have to worry about it yourself." Liang Suzhi glanced at him.

　　"Didn't meet the right one." Ying Ru sent a moment of boredom and sighed in his heart.

　　"You don't always come into contact with people, where do you know if it's appropriate?" The waiter began to serve hot dishes, and Liang Suzhi helped turn the table, "I will help you arrange two meals." ”

　　"Mom, I've said before that I don't want anyone to interfere in my private life." The tone of ying ru is very gentle, but the attitude is very firm.

　　Liang Suzhi glanced at him, "I don't want to arrange it." But there's one more thing you have to help with. ”

　　Lu Mao, who was beside him, had not made a sound, and at this time he quickly interjected, "Mom, I can solve this matter myself when I say it." ”

　　Liang Suzhi didn't think so, "The thing your brother raised his hand to do is not what he did by himself." ”

　　She turned to Ying Ruyu, "Lu Mao is preparing to go abroad, and wants to find a weighty internship to fill in the resume, you see if you can arrange it there." ”

　　Lu Mao was anxious, "My profession is not related to the construction industry at all. ”

　　"He doesn't always have to draw drawings to the construction site. What other departments casually add individuals is not difficult. ”

　　Lu Mao was still arguing, and Ying Ru gave him a look, and he pressed it for the time being.

　　The dishes are together, and the two half-brothers sit together, almost the same helpless mood.

　　After eating, the cake should be brought over and unwrapped.

　　Liang Suzhi did not ask them to light candles, saying that blowing lamps and pulling wax was obscure.

　　When she ate the cake, she was picky about the sweet taste, and she didn't digest it when she was old.

　　A small tooth cake, she only ate two bites, put it down, wiped her mouth with a tissue, got up, and went to the bathroom.

　　Lu Mao caught the time he and Ying Ruyu spent alone, and hurriedly made his position clear with his brother, "This is all my mother's own initiative. Brother you also know her character. ”

　　Ying Ru said: "I know - are you really looking for an internship?" ”

　　"Hmm."

　　"Gasse is not compliant with this. You send me your resume, and I'll go back and help you ask in the circle of friends. ”

　　"Isn't that going to bother you?"

　　"It's a matter of convenience."

　　Lu Mao smiled and did not push back, "Okay." I'll go back and tidy it up. ”

　　After a while, Liang Suzhi returned.

　　Ying Ru sent a bill, and when he went downstairs, he asked Liang Suzhi where to go, and he gave her a ride.

　　"Not needed. I came by car myself. ”

　　The three of them walked to the door, Liang Suzhi took out the car keys from the mouth gold bag, pressed the unlock button, and a red Maserati next to it rang.

　　Liang Suzhi looked at Lu Mao, "I made an appointment with someone to play mahjong, and I don't go home." You take my car, and I can only send you halfway. ”

　　Ying Ru said, "I'll send it." ”

　　Liang Suzhi went to the parking space, and he should not say goodbye.

　　Lu Mao watched Liang Suzhi close the car door, turned his head and said with a smile, "I can take the subway myself." ”

　　"I'm going to the office, and I'm just going along the way—let's go."

　　Lu Mao pulled open the vice-car door, got into the car, and pulled out his seat belt.

　　When it was fastened, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the foot pad, paused, bent down, and picked up what had landed on it.

　　He spread his palms, reached out to Ying Ruyu, smiled, and said, "This is yours?" ”

　　An AirPods.

　　When did it fall? Should you send back to think, when Ye Qingtang picked up the bag last night? Or when they kissed in the car when they were separated?

　　Ying Ruyu reached over and took it into his pocket, "My friend fell." ”

　　"Girlfriend?"

　　"No."

　　Lu Mao didn't ask much.

　　On the way, Ying Ru asked him: "How is it lately?" ”

　　"That's it."

　　"It's been hard." It is said that he wants to get along with Liang Suzhi day and night. Since the death of Lu Mao's biological father, Liang Suzhi's second husband, Liang Suzhi's temperament has become increasingly elusive.

　　Lu Mao smiled, "It's okay." What can I do, let's go along with the hair. ”

　　After sending Lu Mao to him, He took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the Bluetooth headset that was shaped like a single shadow, and sent it to Ye Qingtang: You have dropped something.

　　Ye Qingtang almost replied in seconds: I looked for a morning! I almost ordered a new one.

　　Should be sent as: I will send you when I am free.

　　Ye Qingtang: I have time now.

　　Should be sent as follows: I have to go to the office, I can't say when it will end.

　　Ye Qingtang: I also want to go to the studio in the afternoon, wait for me to pass by you, can you help me send it down? I couldn't do a good job without noise-cancelling headphones.

　　Should be sent as: Yes.

　　You should send it back to the office, open the computer, and start dealing with some of the things that have been waiting for approval after three days of travel.

　　About an hour later, a new message popped up on WeChat, and Ye Qingtang told him that she had arrived downstairs.

　　You should send a door-to-door card and a mobile phone downstairs.

　　On weekends, the office building was very quiet, and Ye Qingtang's car was parked in front of starbucks, a black Cayenne.

　　The car window fell, and she waved in the direction he was.

　　Ying Ruyu walked to the car, took the headphones out of his pocket and handed them to her.

　　Ye Qingtang took it, but his gaze did not retract, but stared at the badge he was holding in his hand.

　　"Can you take a look?"

　　"What's so nice about that?" It should be handed over with a smile.

　　The blue lanyard wrapped around the badge, Ye Qingtang untied it and looked at it, and the registration photo that should be sent was serious, a kind of clean handsomeness.

　　Ye Qingtang wrapped the lanyard back and handed it back to him.

　　Glancing up at his face, he glanced up, "You don't seem to be happy?" ”

　　"It's okay." Should be sent a faint smile.

　　"Hmm. You smile even more unhappily. She poked her head out of the open car window, leaned closer, and looked up at him.

　　Should be sent to the eyes.

　　Today she tied up a very fluffy natural curly hair, high in a ponytail, revealing a beautiful forehead and neck.

　　There is no makeup on the face, the plain skin, the raw eyebrows full of flu, with those few freckles, it is different from the brightness of the day, and there is a kind of childish wildness.

　　She laughed and said, "Do you want me to coax you?" ”

Chapter 12 -12 - There is poor sound insulation here

　　-12-

　　Should Ruyu feel funny and be "coaxed" by a girl who is eight years younger?

　　He smiled and asked, "How do you want to coax me?" ”

　　"You can do whatever you want."

　　"Well..." It should be like a deep groan.

　　Ye Qingtang thought that he had to open his mouth widely, but he just smiled and said, "Work overtime with me?" ”

　　"Yes. Can outsiders come into your office? ”

　　"Of course, I have the final say..." Ying Ruyu paused for a moment, thought about it, and laughed and said, "Forget it." I'm afraid you'll be bored. ”

　　"Ok? Well, I'm not willing to work overtime with people at any time. Ye Qingtang did not wait for him to say anything more, and immediately said, "I will go to the front to stop the car, you help me buy a cup of American style, we will see you at the door." It was so happily decided. ”

　　She turned and picked up the large tote bag placed in the passenger seat and handed it to Ying Ruyu, "The computer is inside, first help me keep it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang went to the underground garage of the office building in front of him to park the car, took the elevator to the ground, and when he walked to the door of Starbucks, he should have already bought coffee.

　　She reached for her bag, and Ying Ruyu handed her only two cups of coffee, saying this light.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and took it.

　　On the way to the building where the LAB architectural office is located, Ye Qingtang suddenly thought of something, "That, is Sun Miao here today?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu turned his head to look at her, understood her intention to ask this question, and asked with a smile: "Afraid of meeting her?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang didn't particularly want to admit it.

　　She did have no intention of approaching Sun Miao at that time, she herself did not care about right and wrong people, but she was a little worried that Sun Miao would feel hurt after reacting to her purpose, "... So she's here? ”

　　"I didn't pay attention."

　　Sun Miao is here.

　　Ye Qingtang and Ying Ruji collided with her as soon as they entered the door.

　　She held a mug in her hand, as if she were about to go to the pantry to refill the water.

　　"Teacher Ying." Sun Miao greeted him in a panic.

　　Noticing Ye Qingtang next to him again, he waved his hand slightly, smiled and said, "Hi." ”

　　Ye Qingtang also smiled and said hello.

　　Sun Miao didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her appearing here, and automatically thought out the reason for her, "Miss Ye came to talk to Teacher Ying about the design details of the Tea Culture Museum?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Ying Ruji responded for her, "Hmm. ”

　　He turned his head and glanced at Ye Qingtang, "Go to my office and talk." ”

　　Ye Qingtang suppressed his smile and said to Sun Miao, "Then I will go first." ”

　　Before the office door was closed, Ye Qingtang glanced at the workstation and asked Ying Ruyu, "Does your firm forbid office romance?" ”

　　"Not forbidden. However, it is not recommended. ”

　　"I said."

　　"See?" Ying Ruyu once again admired Ye Qingtang's acumen, which seemed to be her second talent besides being likable.

　　"Hmm."

　　Sun Miao and Yao Hui are in love, under the eyes of Ying Ruji, the two often have some sneaky small actions, Ying Ruji has long been aware of it, but he is too lazy to break it.

　　Fang Cai Sun Miao panicked when he bumped into them, probably because Yao Hui was also there. The two came to the office on the weekend to rub the electric net, while working overtime on their own while secretly falling in love.

　　Ye Qingtang looked around after entering the door.

　　The frosted glass on three sides of the office is transparent and not translucent, and the internal style is basically a copy of the study at home.

　　The chair next to it should be moved to the opposite side of the desk.

　　Ye Qingtang said, "I want to sit with you, otherwise it's too much like being supervised by the boss." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and moved his chair to the side to make room for Ye Qingtang.

　　Ye Qingtang sat down and took out the laptop from his tote bag.

　　Flip it open and unlock it, then reach for the coffee.

　　"Which cup is American?" she asked.

　　"Two cups."

　　Ye Qingtang reached out and touched it, only to find that the two cups were cold and hot.

　　Ying Ru said: "Forgot to ask you whether it is hot or ice." You pick it, give me the rest. ”

　　Ye Qingtang winced slightly.

　　She had been deliberately ignoring this matter: Ying Ru was the most attentive and thoughtful man she had ever met. His thoughtfulness was not deliberate, as if it were naturally nurtured, and the drizzle was silent.

　　Ying Ruyu looked at her at this time, "What's wrong?" ”

　　"Nothing." Ye Qingtang smiled and took out the cup of hot American style.

　　Taking out the bluetooth headset that was lost and recovered, Ye Qingtang thought about it or did not put it on, afraid that he should talk to her if he wanted to send it, and it was very rude that he could not hear it.

　　She noticed that there was a Bluetooth speaker next to the computer screen and asked, "How is the sound insulation in your office?" ”

　　You should glance at it as if you were sending it.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and blinked, "Ying Zong, what are you thinking?" ”

　　Should be sent to automatically ignore this problem, only raise your hand to turn on the power of the Bluetooth speaker, "Want to play a song? ”

　　"Hmm."

　　The Bluetooth connection was successful, and Ye Qingtang's song list was continued, which is still a cello song.

　　Ying Ru asked, "You only listen to this?" ”

　　"Get used to it." Ye Qingtang smiled, and slid his finger to the touchpad to open the desktop WeChat.

　　Ye Qingtang checked the news and asked, "Do you still have to work overtime as a boss?" ”

　　Ying Ru said: "Some applications require my own permission to approve. ”

　　"What about your classmate Chu Yu?"

　　"He's not the same as the part I'm responsible for."

　　Should be sent as just clicked on the OA background, WeChat on Lu Mao sent a resume.

　　He clicked open and looked at it carefully, thinking about which friend to push this resume to himself.

　　Finally, his eyes fell on Ye Qingtang.

　　"Qingtang."

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head to look.

　　"Do you recruit interns?"

　　"Perennial recruitment."

　　"I have a guy here who is looking for an internship, and you see if his resume fits."

　　You should open her dialog box and forward Lu Mao's resume.

　　Ye Qingtang opened it and swept it roughly, "This condition is enough for a serious large company, it is a bit overkill." Are you sure you want to come? ”

　　"I'll ask." Ying Ru posted on the Internet to search for ABP's official website and sent it to Lu Mao, asking if he was interested.

　　Lu Mao quickly replied: This kind of exhibition is relatively rare in China, and it is quite popular to apply for schools.

　　Should be sent as: Then I will help you promise to come down.

　　Lu Mao: So fast? It's also too efficient.

　　Ying Ruyu said to Ye Qingtang, "He is willing to go." ”

　　Ye Qingtang said: "Let him add my WeChat, it is best to say it in advance before going to report." My friend and I don't necessarily have to be in the office all the time. ”

　　It should be sent as promised.

　　Ye Qingtang: "I dare to ask, is this your friend?" Need special care? We're going to start preparing for the show later, and it can be busy. ”

　　"No special care, how to make the call how to make the call." Ying Ru paused, "He's my brother." ”

　　Ye Qingtang was slightly surprised, and then moved his eyes back to his resume, "You have different surnames. Doesn't look quite like that either. ”

　　"Half-sibling."

　　Ye Qingtang didn't ask much.

　　The term "half-brother" already has a lot of meaning, and it is expected that Ruyu will not like someone to investigate his complicated family background.

　　After a while, Lu Mao sent a friend application.

　　After the communication, Lu Mao decided to go to the studio next Monday to report.

　　The two were busy, talking from time to time.

　　From time to time, He should glance at Ye Qingtang.

　　She made a lot of small movements at work, playing with her hair, cutting her nails, and sometimes suddenly leaning on her arms, blowing her broken hair that had fallen down, and sighing.

　　Imagine if there is such a female classmate sitting in the front seat during the student period, there should be no boy who can listen to the lecture well.

　　In the middle of the way, Ye Qingtang went to the bathroom, was stopped by Sun Miao, and went to her workstation to admire the succulents she raised.

　　When I returned to the office where I should have sent it, I found that there was a new message on WeChat.

　　Wu Qingshu finally replied to her.

　　Two messages.

　　The first one is a "hmm".

　　The second one is: the poster is ready, you see which one you like.

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the desktop version of WeChat, typed a string of words in the keyboard, and before sending, she thought about it, she didn't seem to have any qualifications to advise Wu Qingshu.

　　Deleted all, only replied: I'll take a look.

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the poster to study for a moment, thinking that everything was good, and he could not make a complete decision for a while.

　　"Teacher Ying."

　　Ying Ruyu looked at her, "Huh? ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned the notebook screen in the direction where he was, "Help look, two posters, which one will you like more?" ”

　　"You did it yourself?"

　　"No, Qingshu — my friend, our other founder did it."

　　"This kind of thing still has to be done by the founder himself?" You should ask with a smile.

　　"The entrepreneurial team is like this, and the cost of recruiting a single art is too large." Anyway, we both took graphic design courses, and we could use it. ”

　　You should send a sliding chair to her side.

　　Ye Qingtang lit both posters, adjusted them, and placed them side by side.

　　Ying Ru sent a serious comparison, pointing to the right one, "If it is exhibited in a mustard bookstore, the black and white tones more echo the theme." ”

　　"I'm leaning towards this one too." Ye Qingtang was vaguely happy, from the venue designer's own affirmation of aesthetics, which was very weighty.

　　She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ying Ruyu, but she paused for a moment.

　　The sunlight filtered by the blinds had only a soft glow, and his amber eyes had faded by two points in such a light, and the temperament was particularly clear, making her think that she had only seen the frost-like moonlight on the clear night when the power went out as a child.

　　Looking down, it was his forearm propped on the edge of the table, the soft shirt sleeves pulled up, and the wrist bones were rugged.

　　Almost involuntarily, Ye Qingtang stretched out his fingers and put them on the back of his hand.

　　Before he could look puzzled, she asked softly, "Can I kiss you?" ”

　　There should be hesitation as in the mail.

　　Ye Qingtang was a keen person, and he caught it in a flash.

　　She didn't feel embarrassed, smiled, and was about to withdraw her hand.

　　In an instant, her fingers were pinched.

　　Ye Qingtang's movements paused.

　　With a gentle tugging, the chair she was sitting on slid towards where he was.

　　Her knee hit his leg, and there was no way to get any closer.

　　The hand that had caught her finger moved and threw it behind her neck, and she involuntarily rose from the chair and knelt on one knee against the edge of the leather chair between his knees.

　　Ying Ru looked at her on his back.

　　Even the lines of the iris in the eyes are clearly visible.

　　The breath fell together, like the shallow sound of the tide at the bottom of the heart.

　　Ye Qingtang raised his hand, his fingers lightly pressed against his throat knot, feeling it slowly roll a little.

　　At the same time, the palm of the hand pressed against the back of her neck suddenly squeezed hard.

　　She lowered her head.

　　One arm should be wrapped around her waist and the other palm pressed against her shoulder blade.

　　She had always felt that she was very tall, but in the arms of Ying Ruji, she always felt surrounded by a completeness, with nowhere to escape, and she was willing to indulge.

　　Their kisses were never passionate, and there was no need to stop at a word.

　　As he stepped back, Ye Qingtang was panting, and his head was resting on Ying Ruji's shoulder.

　　He chuckled softly, his voice slightly hoarse and low, "Nothing else." The soundproofing here is not good. ”

　　Of course, she knew it wasn't, and she didn't really have any intention of doing so.

　　But deliberately plucking, the breath was blown into his ear pinna, word by word, "Isn't that more exciting?" ”

　　It should be ignored.

　　Her shoulders trembled with laughter.

　　Ying Ru sent some helplessness, "Don't move." ”

　　"Then why don't you let go of me?"

　　Should be sent as sent still ignored.

　　Ye Qingtang did not continue to make trouble, and suddenly asked softly, "Has my mood changed a little?" ”

　　"Hmm."

　　Ying Ruyu paused and slowly released her.

　　This afternoon is like soaking in warm water.

　　The mood of lust is so obvious that it is impossible to ignore it.

　　This omen is not good.

　　Ying Ruyu raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and when he looked up again, his expression was as calm as ever, "You can see what you want to eat, I invite you to dinner." ”

　　Ye Qingtang sensed his sudden change of mood.

　　The first second was still eager, almost instantaneously fading.

　　She furrowed her brows slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Chapter 13 -13- How to Cry

　　On the day Lu Mao reported, Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu were there.

　　Lu Mao in the resume registration photo is wearing formal clothes, like a zhouzheng strict four-have youth.

　　But only after seeing himself did he know that he was full of youthful spirit.

　　He wears a white T-shirt, a black sports jacket, equally black leggings and sneakers, and carries a backpack over one shoulder. He was tall and thin, and his skin was the same white as his brother's. When I don't laugh, I feel a little world-weary, and when I laugh, I look very refreshing.

　　When he came in, the girls who were doing media operations had their eyes straight, and in the small group, she said that Lu Mao looked like Kentaro Sakaguchi from a certain angle, so she secretly gave him a nickname called Sakaguchi Maunda.

　　The most insensitive of all people may be Wu Qingshu, who glanced at it and said lightly, the most indelible thing is this salt-based appearance.

　　Ye Qingtang made an appointment with an editor in Taipei for a video conference, and after bringing Lu Mao in, he handed him over to Wu Qingshu.

　　Wu Qingshu arranged a workstation for him, took him to familiarize himself with the office environment, pulled into the work group, and did not care about it for the time being.

　　Lu Mao sat idly for a while and saw Wu Qingshu take his bag as if he were going out.

　　He immediately got up and walked toward her, laughing and saying, "It seems that I haven't been assigned a task yet." ”

　　Wu Qingshu thought for a moment, turned to the office and asked, "Who of you has something on hand and needs help?" ”

　　"The application announcement has just been issued, and there should be nothing wrong today." Media Operations said.

　　"It's okay for the time being." Online store operations also said.

　　Wu Qingshu was a little embarrassed, if she was in the office, she could still assign a little trifle to Lu Mao, but she immediately had to go out.

　　Lu Mao looked at her with a SLR camera in her hand, "Sister Qingshu is going out?" ”

　　"Hmm. Go to a mustard bookstore to take photos and measure the size. ”

　　"I'll accompany you?"

　　Wu Qingshu looked at him, "Can you drive?" ”

　　"Yes."

　　Lu Mao turned back to his workstation to pick up his backpack and returned to Wu Qingshu, who was waiting at the door.

　　Reaching out, she naturally took the heavy camera in her hand, hung the belt on her shoulder, smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

　　The moment he approached, Wu Qingshu smelled a fresh breath, like sea salt mixed with a little grass fragrance, and then sunburned in the sun.

　　-

　　For the next month, Ye Qingtang and Ying Rujian maintained the pure carnal-body relationship at present.

　　Go to her house or his house, depending on the situation, a few times at the hotel. They tacitly and consciously maintained the habit of not spending the night together, meeting in the depths of the night and separating at the deeper part of the night.

　　In terms of work, the recruitment applications published by the studio on major platforms such as official micro, public accounts, official websites and Douban have received feedback one after another, and a total of 115 publishing houses, independent editors or individuals have submitted applications by the deadline.

　　This is followed by the tedious work of screening qualifications, reviewing exhibits, and docking details. At the same time, the exhibition plan also came out, only to start landing after communicating with the side of the Mustard Book House.

　　At the busiest time, Ye Qingtang was going to have a birthday, May 25.

　　She didn't think about it very much, but Han Jun said that she was already preparing. It's hard to be gracious.

　　Han Jun, who understands her personality and likes to be lively but doesn't like the hilarity that has nothing to do with him, arranges a music party and invites only their mutual friends.

　　The place is provided by Han Jun, his new villa that was just renovated last October with a pool, lawn and a big terrace.

　　Birthdays are weekdays.

　　Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu went to a mustard bookstore in the afternoon to communicate the details, and returned to the studio at about 4:30, ready to go home first, make up and change clothes.

　　As soon as I entered the office door, the sister of the media operator reminded: "Sister Tang has your package." It seems to be an overseas piece, and I signed for you to put it under your desk. ”

　　"Thank you."

　　Ye Qingtang put away the bag, went to the bathroom, and returned to the workstation.

　　The package was big and heavy.

　　The face sheet was attached to the side, and she turned the cardboard box over hard, carefully identified the shipping address on it, and was stunned.

　　Quickly open the drawer, turn out the utility knife, cut down the gap with the scotch tape, and open the carton.

　　Inside are two stacks of books, The Cuckoo Bell, and at the top is a large cowhide envelope with a handwritten English "TO Tania." Tania is her English name.

　　Ye Qingtang's heart skipped a beat, he exhaled slowly, took the cowhide envelope, walked to the rear storage area, stood by the window, and quickly opened the envelope.

　　Inside was a letter, something like a greeting card.

　　Ye Qingtang's first reaction was a birthday card, and when he picked it up, the card face with gilding on a white background, a large line of flowers "wedding", was centered and aligned below, and the following words were printed:

　　Lyndon

　　and

　　Sienna

　　Her mind went blank.

　　After a long time, he opened the letter with a trembling finger.

　　"Qingtang:

　　"It's a pleasure to hear from you.

　　"I resigned as a lecturer and moved back to Richmond, with Sienna. Sienna opened her own counseling room, and I wrote full-time. The editors have gone on many occasions, and my new work has been completed. It's not something I'm happy with, but I've been working on it for five years and suffering so much that it's time to put an end to it.

　　"It is an honor to witness the prosperity of the book fair you founded, and it is even more gratifying to have the first works of new books on display at your exhibition. Fifty new books were sent by letter for exhibition purposes, and I will contact the editorial department if necessary in the future.

　　"May your exhibition go well.

　　"Praise Xia Qi, peace and joy."

　　“PS.

　　"Sienna is pregnant, we are scheduled for August 6, and we have a wedding invitation attached to the letter. If you are free, welcome to come and watch the ceremony. Prepare a little bit of a light shochu to wait. ”

　　Outside Wu Qingshu was calling, Ye Qingtang hurriedly returned to God, folded the letter sloppily, and stuffed it back into the envelope together with the invitation card, Fang Ying said: "Come now!" ”

　　She took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and then smiled and walked out.

　　Wu Qingshu asked her, "Aren't you going home to put on makeup?" Why haven't you left yet? ”

　　"Go right away—you'll just go over there?"

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang stuffed the kraft paper envelope into his bag, gathered up his things restlessly, and said to Wu Qingshu, "I'm leaving." ”

　　Wu Qingshu: "Go ahead." See you next time. ”

　　Taking the elevator down to the underground garage, Ye Qingtang touched the bag for a long time before touching the car keys.

　　Pull the car door to get into the car, throw the bag on the co-driver, and drop the start button.

　　Reaching for the gear, he suddenly stopped moving.

　　Head down, leaning on the steering wheel, not moving for a long time.

　　After arriving home, Ye Qingtang took a shower, changed into the dress prepared in the morning, and put on makeup and hair care.

　　I was about to go out, but I couldn't get any interest.

　　He fell backwards and lay on his back on the bed.

　　I don't know how long it has been, but the mobile phones ring one after the other.

　　Ye Qingtang picked up his spirits and touched the mobile phone to connect.

　　Han Jun urged her at that end: "Grandma, have you arrived?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang said, "I don't want to come." ”

　　“...... Are you kidding. Do you know how far in advance I ordered that cake for you? If you don't come, I will not be friends with you, believe it or not? ”

　　"Okay, I'm kidding, it's on the way."

　　"That's waiting for you." Hurry up. ”

　　Ye Qingtang got up from the bed, checked his makeup in the mirror, smiled at himself, took his bag, and went out.

　　It was already dark.

　　The lawn of the villa was supported by a long table, flanked by shelves, hanging strings of lights and transparent wave balls, as bright and beautiful as the starlight.

　　As soon as Ye Qingtang appeared, he became the focus of the audience, and friends came one by one to say hello, take photos, and send gifts.

　　The gifts could not be taken, and a table was piled up in the tea room on the first floor.

　　By 8 o'clock, the band invited by Han Jun, who was also his good friend, began to sing.

　　Everyone took the food, either went to the long table or sat directly on the floor.

　　Ye Qingtang had to get out at this time and go to find Wu Qingshu to join him.

　　Wu Qingshu was on the roof of the third floor.

　　There was an outdoor table set up by the railing, and Lu Mao sat across from her, and the two seemed to be talking about the decoration of the venue.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Just the two of you?" ”

　　"Otherwise who else?" Wu Qingshu asked rhetorically.

　　Ye Qingtang thought about it, but still didn't ask her about Fang Shao, only said: "You two are good and dedicated, and you are still talking about work." ”

　　Wu Qingshu glanced at the opposite side, "Please, I don't want to, he has to pull me to talk." ”

　　Lu Mao, with one arm, lazily propped up the back of the chair and said with a smile, "Yes, I pulled Sister Qingshu to talk." ”

　　Wu Qingshu's plate still had a lot of food, Ye Qingtang picked up a small bread, took a bite, and said, "I'm so tired." ”

　　"Can the social flowers not be tired?" Wu Qingshu has always had a poisonous tongue.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "If it weren't for your good looks, you would have been beaten by an unknown number of times." ”

　　She hid here for less than five minutes in Wu Qingshu, when she was discovered by Han Jun downstairs and beckoned her to go down.

　　"I'll go."

　　Wu Qingshu said, "Go get busy with butterflies." ”

　　When Ye Qingtang left, Wu Qingshu lifted his eyes and looked at the person across from him, "Do you still want to talk about work?" ”

　　Lu Mao smiled, "Sister Qingshu can talk about something else." ”

　　“...... Can't you just play on your own? Don't want to chat with anyone during off hours Thank you. ”

　　Lu Mao immediately made a gesture to zip his mouth, stopped talking, picked up the beer can, got up and leaned on the side railing to listen to the playing below.

　　After another round of greetings, Ye Qingtang left the crowd and went to the courtyard lawn to get food.

　　She unscrewed a bottle of water and took a sip, looked over the band that was singing, and saw a figure standing in the opposite corner.

　　She walked over unobtrusively and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?" ”

　　"Just arrived. Didn't you miss anything? Ying Ru said with a smile.

　　"No, the cake hasn't been cut yet—do you want something to eat?"

　　"Just got off the dinner table."

　　"Where's the socializing?"

　　"Hmm."

　　"No wonder it's like this."

　　He wore a formal shirt, trousers and leather shoes, which was more serious than his usual attire, a sense of inaccessibility and nobility.

　　Ying Ruyu was also looking at her.

　　Black halterneck vintage dress, hair seems to have been specially groomed, showing regular large rolls, not as fluffy as usual. The face is painted with delicate makeup, berry-colored red lips, very bright, without a single flaw, but also lacks a little vitality.

　　Ying Ruyu stared at her for a while, then asked softly, "You seem to be a little tired." Not happy with your birthday? ”

　　"Nothing." She subconsciously denied it.

　　"Nothing?"

　　Ye Qingtang bit his lip lightly and stopped speaking.

　　After a moment of silence, she reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt and pushed him back.

　　Ying Ru did not know, so he looked back, and took a few steps back according to her movements, completely retreating behind the rose vines wrapped around the black fence, where there was no light.

　　Ye Qingtang raised his hand, and his fingers slowly climbed up along his jaw, lightly touching the bridge of his nose and brow bone.

　　Finally, it fell down again.

　　His head hung low, his forehead pressed against his chest, and he stopped moving.

　　In the darkness, only the sound of undulating breathing could be heard.

　　For a moment, Ying Ruyu raised his hand around her waist, bowed his head, and asked softly, "Why are you crying?" ”

Chapter 14 -14- I'm not so candid

　　The fabric of his shirt was stained with a faint smell of wine, and a small damp, warm patch of tears poured out, like a pale mist against the window glass of winter.

　　Ye Qingtang tried to make a sound.

　　What to say, that letter, that invitation.

　　She knew better than anyone that her one-man show had ended three years earlier, but even if she knew the end of the story, turned to the last page with consciousness, and saw the last full stop at the end of the sentence, she still felt frightened, lost, and empty.

　　The grandeur of the show ends, and she is left in the audience with the lights out, even unrelated to the story.

　　Ye Qingtang said softly, "Have you ever had this kind of experience, when it is particularly lively and happy, you will suddenly feel lost." ”

　　"Yes."

　　"Is there a technical term to describe it?" I coined a word, Post-Carnival Syndrome. I might, just..."

　　"Is it?" Should be sent as if not fully believed.

　　Ye Qingtang's eyes itched, and he wanted to reach out and rub it, but he resisted again.

　　She took a step back, raised her head slightly, bent her knuckles to touch the tear marks on her cheeks, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Help, makeup may be spent, I don't want to go out like this, so many people..."

　　Her voice sounded like it had been soaked in water, soft and damp.

　　Ying Ruyu stared at her for a moment, "Where is your bag?" ”

　　"In the tea room on the right-hand side of the first floor, in the drawer of the table where the gifts are stacked, is a black CHANEL. You can open it to confirm that there are air cushion powder and a trumpet of Parma Water, blue..."

　　"Okay."

　　Ye Qingtang held his arm and stood in the shadow of the rose vine, watching Ying Ruji pass through a brilliant light, and the figure disappeared into the corner.

　　She lifted her head and took a deep breath.

　　After a while, the remittment reappeared.

　　He walked up to her and raised the bag in his hand, "Is this it?" ”

　　"Yes." Ye Qingtang reached out to pick it up, thinking about where to go to make up some makeup where there was a bright light.

　　The fingers had not yet touched, and ying ru sent her arm back, and the other hand reached over and grabbed her wrist, "Go." ”

　　Ye Qingtang was slightly embarrassed, "Where to go?" ”

　　"You want to stay here?" Should be like sending her to her.

　　Without waiting for her to answer, he pressed his fingers slightly, clasped them, and just held her like this, and walked involuntarily toward the garden side door.

　　"It should be sent..." Ye Qingtang tried to convince himself to stay, "I have to cut the cake later, and my friend made it for me." ”

　　It was as if he hadn't heard, and his pace was faster.

　　Ye Qingtang hesitated for two minutes, and when she walked through the garden, several friends noticed and asked her where she was going, and she smiled and said that she would come back later.

　　I went out the door and walked down the gentle ramp for a hundred or two hundred meters, and the lively lights were completely left behind.

　　On the high platforms built on both sides, the trees are sparse in early summer.

　　They stood in the shadows cast by the trees, and Ying Ruyu let go of his hand and turned his head to look at her, "Forced smile is a little ugly." You've always been a candid person. ”

　　No, I'm not so candid.

　　Ye Qingtang retorted in his heart.

　　Ying Ru said, "You should slow down for a while and then go back." Don't worry your friends. ”

　　"I don't want to go back. You take me away. ”

　　"Where do you want to go?"

　　“...... Good place to go, just the two of us. That indescribable emotion rose again, as if she heard the crisp cracking sound of her heart.

　　Ying Ruyu stared down for a moment, reached out, and grabbed her wrist again.

　　"Let's go."

　　After drinking wine at dinner, it should be sent as a taxi. This place is somewhat remote, and no one on the taxi software has taken orders, so I plan to go outside first and try again on the slightly bustling road section.

　　The whole road was silent, the dim street bulbs were hidden among the leaves, and the concrete road cast their deformed shadows.

　　Ye Qingtang suddenly stopped, "My feet hurt and I can't walk." ”

　　The tone was decadent and frustrated.

　　She wears seven or eight centimeters of high heels, thin heels, such shoes are only suitable for decoration of Chinese clothes, not walking.

　　Ying Ru thought for a few seconds, just wanted to open his mouth, Ye Qingtang raised his hand and pointed again, "Is there a basketball court in front of you?" ”

　　She obviously said that her feet hurt, and at this moment, the will that came from nowhere suddenly accelerated her pace.

　　The basketball court is like a supporting setup for this community, but it seems to be lacking. Surrounded by high barbed wire, the small door is unlocked, it is pushed open, the standard size of the ground, a layer of branches and leaves, no one has cleaned for a long time, the air is a smell of plastic exposed in the daytime, mixed with the moisture of grass and trees.

　　Ying Ruyu slowed down slightly, took out his mobile phone and sent two messages.

　　Looking up again, Ye Qingtang had already walked to the fixed bench next to the venue and sat down, and casually stepped off his high heels a few times.

　　Ying Ruyu sped up a few steps and sat down next to her.

　　There was silence all around, and occasionally the wind blew through the treetops, and I felt that the sound of the creep was far away.

　　"If something happens to you, you may be able to tell me about it." It should be sent as a sound. Despite known futility.

　　Sure enough, he caught a glimpse of Ye Qingtang and slowly shook his head.

　　He said nothing more, only a silent sigh.

　　After another moment of silence, Ying Ruyu saw Ye Qingtang pick up the bag placed on the seat between the two of them, open it, and take out a small package of wet paper towels from inside.

　　She took a slice apart, spread it out, covered it all over her face, paused for a moment, and began to wipe it from her forehead.

　　After wiping it off, take out a new slice.

　　After three times, she took out the fourth tablet and began to wipe the lipstick from her lips.

　　Wet wipes should not be completely wiped clean, otherwise there would not be a special product called "clean remover oil".

　　Looking under the light, the berry-colored lipstick still had some residue on her lips, like a withered begonia flower that had been dried by the rain on the branches, showing a bit of sadness.

　　"Is there a sink over there?" Ye Qingtang raised his finger and pointed to the corner across the field.

　　Ying Ru looked up, "Hmm. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was about to stand up at the moment.

　　You should reach out and press your hand on her shoulder.

　　He got up and walked toward the sink with dead leaves.

　　The sink is embedded with white tiles, I don't know how long it has been idle, the same pool of dead leaves inside, and the rain is stored, a smell of humus that comes out.

　　The faucet condensed, and it took a little effort to unscrew it.

　　There was an empty noise, and then the water rushed out.

　　Looking at it through the street lights, it was a little yellow at first, and gradually became clear.

　　Xu was able to hear the sound of water, and Ying Ruyu glanced at Ye Qingtang on the stool opposite and stood up.

　　He shouted, "Come here with your shoes, there are sand and stones and branches on the ground." ”

　　Ye Qingtang walked to the sink and sent it to the side to give way.

　　She took a handful of water and poured it on her face.

　　After washing his face, Ye Qingtang raised his hand and screwed on the faucet.

　　When I looked up, my forehead hair was wet, my face was wet, my eyelashes were wet, and the tip of my nose was red, looking trepidated and miserable.

　　"Qingtang."

　　Almost instinctively, Ying Ru reached out and took her into his arms.

　　Bowing his head, the tip of his nose close to her forehead, pausing for a moment, raising his hand against her chin and lifting her face.

　　She revealed a smile of unknown meaning, and the look in her eyes was particularly miserably, "Why don't you kiss me?" ”

　　Because of this look, it should be like sending a moment without moving.

　　And she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck, tiptoed, looked into his eyes, and took the initiative to touch his lips.

　　A thought should cross the screen.

　　In the future, when he passes by any basketball court in the world, he will think of this kiss in the dark night.

　　It was so indescribable, that slightly cool and bitter feeling, it would feel like it was actually coming out of her heart.

　　The two returned to the bench and sat down, but did not talk for a while.

　　Ye Qingtang's mobile phone continued to ring the WeChat prompt tone.

　　She couldn't stand it, took out her mobile phone from her bag and looked at it, not only Han Jun, but several friends were asking her where she had gone, including Wu Qingshu.

　　Ye Qingtang replied to Wu Qingshu: I sent it away with Ying Ru.

　　Wu Qingshu quickly replied: ... You can't wait hours with wild men.

　　Ye Qingtang didn't know what else to return, simply didn't care anymore, and then clicked on Han Jun's dialog box and replied: I'm sorry, there is something temporary, go back first. You play as usual, don't be influenced by me. I'll come back and ask you alone to eat and atone for your sins.

　　Han Jun quickly sent a voice note, and Ye Qingtang turned the text to look at it, it was nothing more than some nonsense that asked her to break off her friendship. At the end, he asked her what was going on, whether it mattered.

　　Ye Qingtang replied with a "it doesn't matter", then locked the phone and put it back in the bag.

　　Ying Ruyu kept looking at her.

　　She seemed to be a little happier at the moment, smiled and said, "I feel a little sorry that I didn't eat the cake." ”

　　Ying Ru was about to make a sound when the phone rang.

　　He glanced at it, connected it, got up, said "Wait a minute" to Ye Qingtang, and walked toward the place where Fang Had just entered the door.

　　Not long after, Ying Ru sent it back.

　　"Let's go."

　　He leaned over and lifted her high heels on the ground with one hand, then wrapped one arm around her back, and the other hand supported her knees and lifted them lightly.

　　The last moment Ye Qingtang's body took off, he still had time to react, and reached out and hooked the chain of the bag.

　　The chain slid down her wrists and hung over her arms, and she wrapped her arms around Yingru's neck.

　　He walked steadily through half of the abandoned basketball court and back to the small door in that corner.

　　Outside on the side of the road, a car was parked.

　　Looking at the model seems to be a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the taxi software can not call this level of car.

　　Ye Qingtang asked a question.

　　Ying Ru said, "Ask Chu Yu to send it here." ”

　　The driver is also Chu Yu's driver, service-minded and professional, got out of the car and went around, pulling open the back seat door for them.

　　Ye Qingtang slid down, stepped on the leather shoes that should be sent, and got into the car.

　　Ying Ruyu put her high heels at her feet and got into the car.

　　The driver went back to the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and asked with a smile, "Where is Mr. Ying going?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu turned his head and looked at Ye Qingtang.

　　"Go to your house." Ye Qingtang did not hesitate.

　　"You don't have to spend your birthday with your family?" It should be asked as asked.

　　"The habit at home is to pass a day early, and I already spent it with my dad yesterday."

　　"What about Lingtang?"

　　"She's got a little stuck in a few days and will come back in a few days to help me make it up."

　　You should send it to the driver and report your address.

　　The car turned around in front of it and drove gently into the night.

　　The blackout curtains on both sides were lowered, and the carriage was dark.

　　Ying Ru sent out his mobile phone, sent a few WeChat messages, and suddenly felt a sinking of his shoulders.

　　He narrowed his eyes, "Sleep for a while?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang shook his head, "Borrow me to lean on." ”

　　You should raise your shoulders slightly and sit up straight.

　　Ye Qingtang didn't say a word on the way back, and Ying Ru thought she was asleep, raised his hand to pick up the hair that slipped down to cover her face, and saw that her eyes were open.

　　Not long after, the car drove to the entrance of the community.

　　Ying Ruyu greeted the doorman and asked the driver to drive into the underground garage.

　　The car stopped in front of the elevator in the unit building where Ying Ru was located, and he took the lead in getting out of the car, still carrying Ye Qingtang's high heels in one hand.

　　Ye Qingtang said busily, "It's already good to take a break, I can go myself." “

　　Ying Ruyu carried her out of the car without hearing.

　　Stopping at the door, Ying Ru said: "The door is stuck in the pocket of your pants, you help to take it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang wrapped his arms around him, not daring to let go, "It will fall." ”

　　"No." He held it firmly.

　　Ye Qingtang chose to believe him, freed up a hand, and went down to dig his pocket.

　　It seemed that he had only touched the mobile phone, Ye Qingtang was not quite sure, his hand reached in again, and he heard Ying Ruyu vaguely "uh-huh" and said busily: "... Sorry sorry, is it on the other side? ”

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang took out the card and leaned closer to the card reading.

　　Ying Ruyu hugged her sideways and opened the door with his shoulders.

　　When he reached the elevator entrance, Ye Qingtang reached out to help remove the upward button.

　　When I entered the elevator and ascended to the first floor, the door "dinged" and popped open.

　　The person waiting for the elevator outside glanced inside and was stunned.

　　Ye Qingtang originally didn't feel anything, probably because Ying Ru was too frank all the way - her foot hurt, he hugged her, what was this.

　　But at this moment, when she met an outsider, she realized that her rare face was two points hotter.

　　However, Ying Ruyu looked extremely calm, took a step back, and gave people space.

　　Ye Qingtang was almost intimidated by him.

　　Until I looked up at him, I found that the roots of his ears were slightly red.

　　She chuckled softly.

　　You should send a warning glance as you would.

　　She had to hold back her smile, her shoulders trembling slightly.

　　When I got to the 18th floor, I entered the entrance and put her down.

　　When she came for the second time before, Ying Ru sent her a pair of women's slippers and placed them in a fixed position.

　　Ye Qingtang put on the slippers and entered the house after sending fingerprints to unlock them.

　　On the foyer cabinet was a bottle of non-fire incense, emitting a slightly salty aroma like a light sea breeze.

　　"Do you still have wine here?" Ye Qingtang asked.

　　"Yes."

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, "I'll go take a shower first." ”

　　Having come many times, Ye Qingtang corresponded to the home of the home is already a light car familiar road.

　　In the cupboard of the cloakroom, there are women's pajamas prepared for her, and there are also a full set of toiletries such as facial cleanser and makeup remover oil on the bathroom flow table.

　　Ye Qingtang took off her dress, threw it on the stool, changed into bathroom slippers and walked in.

　　When the water came down, she felt a tingle in her heel, guessing that it was abrasion.

　　Take a shower, blow your hair, and walk out of the bathroom.

　　I swung around the house and didn't find what I should have sent.

　　Feeling strange, I was ready to send a message to ask, when the sound of the password lock unlocking sounded.

　　Ye Qingtang glanced toward the door, holding a bouquet of white tulips in one hand and a box with a champagne ribbon in the other. It's the cake, not as he thinks.

　　"Specially designed?" Ye Qingtang was slightly surprised.

　　"I can't be prophetic. Friends store sell leftovers, do not know what taste, take apart like it or not, will eat it. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "Teacher Ying has a wide network of contacts, and he has friends in every line of work." ”

　　Ying Ruyu put the cake and bouquet on the table, turned around and went to the study, and found an electronic lighter for lighting candles.

　　Ye Qingtang was unpacking the cake box at the table, wearing a white satin lace-up nightgown, and the freshly washed hair was piled up fluffily behind her ears, surrounding her frosted white face.

　　When the lid of the box is removed, it should be like a sender withdrew his gaze from her face.

　　It is said that the leftover cake is sold, but the appearance is no different from the specially customized one.

　　Blueberry mousse, a white chocolate chip with the words "Happy Birthday Qingtang".

　　Ye Qingtang opened the candle, thought about it and said, "Just light five, one represents five years old." ”

　　She spaced almost equal distances and plugged in candles.

　　You should open the lighter, approach the candle, and light it one by one.

　　Then he walked to the side and turned off the lights.

　　The candle flame shone in Ye Qingtang's eyes, slowly swaying, and she looked up at him, as if waiting for something.

　　Ying Ruyu reacted and said expressionlessly, "... Can't sing. ”

　　"Then the ritual would be incomplete."

　　Ying Ru believed that she was happy and restored her usual narrow-minded personality.

　　However, he was not moved, reached over the mobile phone next to him, clicked on a random music software, typed and searched for "Happy Birthday Song", and clicked to play.

　　Ye Qingtang almost choked on laughing.

　　When the song had been sung, she folded her hands and closed her eyes.

　　The music should be paused as sent.

　　In the quiet space, the only ones beating are the heart and candles.

　　I don't know what wish she was making, so sincere and serious.

　　Finally, Ye Qingtang opened his eyes, puffed up his cheeks, and blew out the candle in one breath.

　　The switch should be turned on as sent.

　　The smoke from the top of the wick dissipated, and Ye Qingtang pulled out the candle, took out a kitchen knife, cut the cake out of two teeth, and put it on the paper dish. The chocolate chips with birthday wishes written on them were placed on her plate.

　　She took a fork and took a bite out of her mouth, looked up.

　　The look that should be sent can be described as "bearing the burden of humiliation".

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, "It seems that you didn't lie to me, you really don't like to eat sweets." ”

　　Ying Ru sent her face, and finally tasted it before putting it down.

　　Naturally, the cake could not be eaten, and the rest was put back into the box.

　　Ying Ru remembered Ye Qingtang's question when he first entered the door, so he asked, "Want to drink?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang paused and nodded.

　　He asked her to sit down for a while, and he went to take a shower and change his clothes.

　　Ye Qingtang went around to the open kitchen, pulled open the refrigerator, and took out four cans of beer from a row of beer.

　　Carry the beer to the living room and sit down on the carpet next to the coffee table.

　　Fingers clasp the pull ring, pull, "poof" a sound, a little wine foam splashed out.

　　After drinking a can, it should be sent out of the shower.

　　He wore a loose white short-sleeved T-shirt, gray knee-length shorts, freshly washed hair soft and obedient, and the whole person was as pure as a touch of moonlight.

　　Ying Ru sat down on the sofa next to her, and she opened a can of beer and handed it over.

　　He leaned over slightly, one arm on his knee, took a sip of the beer, and suddenly reached out to touch her forehead, "Feeling better?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang tilted his head back and rested on his knee.

　　“...... But it hurts. ”

　　Should be sent as a meal, "Where does it hurt?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, and his expression was momentarily blank, "... Heels. ”

　　Ying Ruyu put down the can, grabbed her arm, led her to stand up, and sat down on his lap.

　　Leaning over, she picked up her feet and turned to look at her heels.

　　He let go of his hand and got up and walked toward the locker in the hallway.

　　After a while, I took the box of Band-Aid and came over.

　　He sat down on the arm of the couch and grabbed her feet and rested them on his lap. Remove the button, pull over the heel, stick it to the worn place, and then gently smooth it to make sure it is firmly glued.

　　The same goes for the other foot.

　　Ye Qingtang's palms were propped up behind him, and he looked at him with pity, he looked very serious, and the small things of attaching Band-Aids were also solemnly like repairing a national treasure.

　　The first acquaintance thought that he was cold and unapproachable, and only after knowing him did he know that he was such a gentle person.

　　But he was all right.

　　He is not alone.

　　You should throw the Band-Aid wrapping paper into the trash can on the side, and then look back at Ye Qingtang, stunned for a while.

　　She braced her arms behind her, maintaining this position, looking at him motionlessly.

　　Eyelashes are like wet crow feathers.

　　Ying Ru sent a little helplessness, "Why are you crying again..."

　　Before the words could be heard, Ye Qingtang leaned over, put his arms around his shoulders, raised his eyes, and stared at him with eyes as hazy and damp as the moon in the rain.

　　For a moment, her lips came closer, lightly touching the corners of his mouth, and then leaning up.

　　Bitter taste.

　　It was not clear whether it was the beer she had just had, or her tears.

　　Ying Ruyu did not want to go further when she was in a bad mood, otherwise it would always seem like taking advantage of the fire.

　　But Ye Qingtang grabbed his hand and took the initiative to untie the tie of her nightgown.

　　Warm breath lingered in her ears, and she whispered in that soaked voice, "Is it okay to do it with me?" Almost in the tone of a request.

　　Ambivalently, he picked her up and went to the bedroom.

　　Ye Qingtang turned off the light abnormally.

　　In the absolute darkness, everything is different from before.

　　She exhibited a devastating, insane quality, as if she wanted him to destroy her completely.

　　Ying Ruyu did not lose her sanity and maintained a considerable degree of rationality, precisely because of her abnormality.

　　He was a little dazed and unwell.

　　He didn't understand the origin of all her tears tonight, and such a sad Ye Qingtang was very strange.

　　And it was as if he had been used as a poultice, or the one that seemed to have little effect—otherwise, how could he have raised his hand to touch her face and touched a hand of cold tears.

　　Should be sent as if not very invested, and not too much enjoyment.

　　After it was over, he took Ye Qingtang into his arms, and some words were blocked in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

　　He reached out and caressed her forehead and whispered, "Go take a shower?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang nodded.

　　She wrapped her arms back, buried her face in his neck, and breathed deeply, as if to absorb some of the warmth, "Can I rest with you tonight?" ”

　　After a few seconds of silence, Ying Ru said, "Good." ”

　　Wash each other and go back to bed.

　　Ye Qingtang was lying on his side, his forehead resting on his shoulder.

　　No one spoke in the darkness.

　　There should be no drowsiness, just listening to the side of the body breathing more and more slowly.

　　He moved his shoulder slightly, and Ye Qingtang did not move, probably asleep.

　　He silently propped himself up to check.

　　She had indeed fallen into a deep sleep, as calm as if nothing had happened to tonight's mess.

　　Ying Ru got up, walked out of the bedroom barefoot, covered the door lightly, and went into the study.

　　He turned on the desk lamp on the table, sat down in the pale light, and took the sketchbook.

　　Turning to a blank page, I picked up a pencil, sketched two strokes at random, feeling irritable, scribbling a few times, pulling off the paper, kneading it into a ball, and throwing it into the trash can with no expression.

Chapter 15 -15- How not to think about falling in love...

　　Ye Qingtang reacted when he opened his eyes.

　　The space was dark, a woody aroma that was familiar to her, but not the scent of her bedroom.

　　An arm rested on her waist, and it was not heavy, but it was very present.

　　Only then did she realize that she was not alone.

　　She and the people behind her were lying on their sides in the same direction, their backs covered with sweat from the heat of his chest.

　　The skin on his cheeks was slightly tight, and he washed his face before going to bed last night, but did not rub the lotion.

　　Ye Qingtang squinted her eyes wearily, and when the last bit of sleepiness receded, she gently removed Ying Ruyu's arm and crept to the ground.

　　As soon as the curtains were drawn and the bedroom door was closed, the bright light of the early summer sky burst in.

　　Ye Qingtang looked at the pale honey-colored sunlight projected from the floor-to-ceiling window and realized that it might not be too early.

　　She looked up at the wall clock on the wall, at ten o'clock in the morning.

　　That's when I thought about going to find my phone.

　　The phone landed on the couch and was out of power.

　　She found the plug and charging cable that should be sent to the mobile phone at the socket next to the sofa, and after connecting it, it was charged for a while, and the mobile phone automatically turned on.

　　No accident, countless WeChat messages, those dense red dots seem to exaggerate her role: the world can not function without Miss Ye.

　　Ye Qingtang picked up important replies, mainly Wu Qingshu asked her when she would come to the studio, she said in the afternoon.

　　Drop your phone and go to the bathroom first.

　　At this time, Ying Ruyu had not woken up, and Ye Qingtang, who had finished washing, had a sudden whim and walked towards the kitchen.

　　Ying Ru opened his eyes, raised his arm and touched the mobile phone on the bedside table to take a look.

　　Half past ten.

　　He fell asleep at two o'clock in the morning, turned off his weekday alarm before going to bed, and said hello to his assistant, who would arrive later during the day today.

　　He got up and walked to the bedroom door and pulled open the hidden door.

　　Glancing into the kitchen, yawning halfway through, he froze.

　　He had completely forgotten about Ye Qingtang's stay here last night.

　　At this moment, Ye Qingtang was wearing a nightgown and standing in front of the stove with a spatula, and the faint roar of the range hood was mixed with the sound of nourishing oil flowers from the pan.

　　"Early." Should be sent hesitantly to speak out. He suspected that he hadn't actually woken up yet.

　　"Early!" Ye Qingtang looked up, his hair tied into a ponytail, revealing a full and smooth forehead, and a fresh smile like lemonade with ice on his face.

　　Ying Ruji walked to the Nakajima terrace, Ye Qingtang turned off the fire, turned around and went to the small bar in the western kitchen, and brought a cup of hot coffee.

　　"Brewed from a coffee machine?"

　　"Hmm."

　　“...... Did you drink it yourself? ”

　　"Take a small sip."

　　Ying Ruyu held his forehead with his palm and smiled, "Should I tell you..."

　　"What?"

　　"I haven't used the coffee machine in a long time, probably not cleaned in more than three months."

　　“……”

　　Ying Ruyu glanced into the pan again, and it was really fried eggs, "I'm not sure if the eggs have shelf life, but... It was bought half a year ago. ”

　　“...... You can actually not bother with the scenery, I believe that if you eat it, you will not die. ”

　　"Hmm. You're right. With a deeply agreed expression, he reached out and squeezed the ear of the cup, picked up the cup of coffee, and took a sip.

　　Ye Qingtang didn't even have time to stop it, "... Well, if we have food poisoning, we can still have a companion when we go to the hospital together. ”

　　"Don't waste that egg." Should be sent to tease her.

　　What kind of personality Ye Qingtang has, he is greedy and playful, lest the world not be chaotic. When he said this, she took a clean white porcelain plate from the cupboard, shabu-shabu, and then picked up four half-fried eggs in the pan and put them on the plate.

　　Ye Qingtang sent Ying Ru a pair of chopsticks, "Come on? ”

　　"Come on." You should pick up an egg with the tip of the chopsticks, "Food poisoning package." ”

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud.

　　Ying Ru said, "You can cook." ”

　　"Cooking is a big word, I only toast bread, fried eggs and ham, and sautéed semi-finished tomato pasta."

　　"Enough, I've mastered the basic survival skills of studying in the United States."

　　"So you and I are half a pound and eight or two?"

　　"A little better than you." It should be as if there is a matter of sending a message.

　　"Where's the strength?"

　　"I also mix salads."

　　Ye Qingtang's shoulders trembled as he smiled.

　　Should be like sending her to her.

　　She was the girl he had ever seen who smiled the most imagelessly, and she smiled so brightly and beautifully.

　　It was as if last night's haze had completely passed and had not affected her in the slightest.

　　He then stopped asking the obvious nonsense of "Are you in a good mood?"

　　After eating the "food poisoning" package, you should put down your chopsticks and seriously say: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

　　Ye Qingtang then laughed again.

　　After ying ru sent washing, he came out to see that Ye Qingtang had changed back into the black dress of yesterday, and was reclining on the arm of the sofa to brush his mobile phone.

　　He said, "I'll change my clothes first and I'll send you later." ”

　　Ye Qingtang nodded.

　　After a while, Ying Ru came out of the cloakroom.

　　Ye Qingtang raised his eyes, originally habitually glancing at it casually, but he couldn't help but fix his gaze.

　　Ying Ruyu was still dressed in a business-oriented formal suit today, a white shirt, gray trousers, a coat wrapped in his arms, his hands up, and he was adjusting the knot of his tie.

　　This body is lined with his shoulders wide waist, the temperament is clean, it seems that it can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be played.

　　Ye Qingtang propped his elbows on the arm of the sofa, his palms supporting his head, and looked at him with interest.

　　"It should be sent as such."

　　"Huh?" You should look up at her as if you were sending a message.

　　"Can you come over and help me see if there is a scab where my heel is worn?"

　　Ying Ruzhi walked over to him without hesitation, and put his suit jacket on the other side of the armrest.

　　He had just sat down and was about to go get her foot when she leaned over and shoved him back.

　　He leaned back, and she rolled over and sat down on his knees, her fingers hooking the tie he had just tied.

　　Mixed with the sweet scent of fruit wood, it came to the face, wrapped around the breath, and should be sent to the head and lean back two points to avoid.

　　"Are you in a hurry to go to the studio?" She smiled, her fingers painted with dark red nail polish, slowly exerting force, and the tie was loosened in a measured way.

　　"It depends."

　　The tone of the message should not hear the emotion.

　　"What do you see? Is it an emergency? Ye Qingtang's cheeks were close to just a few feet, she blinked her eyes, as if she was seriously seeking advice, and her long, curly eyelashes hung low and raised, looking innocent.

　　She knows how to exert her charm and practices it on him without reservation, neither prevaricating nor shy.

　　Seeing that he still seemed indifferent, she released a big move, leaned over to his ear, and said softly, Teacher Ying, this is already the case, is it not an emergency?

　　Ying Ru's eyes darkened, but his tone was more serious, "Huh? I have to confirm first. ”

　　"Okay." Her head fell on his shoulder, her breathing no longer calm, and she grabbed his hand, "... You come to confirm. ”

　　The time to go out, delayed by an hour, declared this morning, completely wasted.

　　At the end, Ye Qingtang can still innocently laugh and say, Hey, Teacher Ying's suit is dirty, I will pay you for dry cleaning, right?

　　Facing the scorching sun, they finally went out.

　　Ye Qingtang did not wear the blooddrop-like high heels, so he stepped barefoot on the edge of the seat and gently hummed along with a rotten love song on the radio.

　　This was the Ye Qingtang he was familiar with.

　　Wanton, enthusiastic, brisk and free.

　　The car drove to the Guanlan apartment first, Ye Qingtang asked Ying Ru to wait a little, she went up to change her clothes and came down immediately.

　　She didn't delay too long, and hurried down in less than fifteen minutes.

　　When the car door is pulled, Ying Ruji is tapping on the steering wheel, which seems a bit boring.

　　"Sorry for the long wait."

　　"It's all right."

　　If you turn your head to look at it, Ye Qingtang's commuting clothes have always been based on the athflow style, and today is no exception. A white vertical threaded top, a light linen-colored thin blazer and slacks, paired with white daddy shoes, and a large kraft paper-grained tote bag.

　　"Qingtang."

　　Ye Qingtang was fastening his seat belt, when he heard such a solemn name, he paused and looked up, "What's wrong?" ”

　　The action of tapping the steering wheel finally stopped.

　　Reaching out, he opened the closed storage compartment on the right-hand side and took out a long, dark green gift box from inside.

　　He said in a light tone, "Birthday present." ”

　　"Wow, you got me a birthday present?" ”

　　It should be seen that her surprise is not a disguise.

　　She is not spoiled by the good life, so she loses the perception and value of goodwill.

　　This surprise makes the giver feel useful.

　　Ye Qingtang took over and asked, "Can I open it now?" ”

　　YingRu hesitated for a second, "Yes." ”

　　Ye Qingtang opened the carton, and the contents of it refracted the sunlight in a flash, and the light was overflowing.

　　It was a necklace, the size of a pendant fingernail, an emerald set in a silver frame in the shape of an eye socket, a rich emerald color, like the mysterious eyes of an exotic beauty.

　　"Is it emerald?"

　　Ying Ru nodded, "Zambian emerald." If you like it, just take it and play. ”

　　"I asked my assistant to buy it, and I didn't know it was a necklace when I got it." He rolled his eyes, started the car, stopped looking at her, and added, as if casually, "... You seem to have, probably not. ”

　　"Oh, that." Ye Qingtang's eyes drooped slightly, and then he smiled a little, "I lost that one." Thanks, I just lack one of these necklaces to wear retro-style clothes. ”

　　You should send the corners of your mouth slightly, "Like it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang picked up the chain, spread the emerald in his palm, looked at the light carefully for a while, then unbuttoned the chain, grabbed the ends with both hands, and wrapped it around the back of his neck.

　　After trying, in the end there was no success in the challenge, so he turned around and turned his back towards Ying Ruyu, "Can you help me buckle it?" ”

　　Her special steak, the three words of the request sentence "Can I" are always placed at the end of the sentence, and the tone of the request is weakened, but it is more difficult to refuse.

　　If you put on the brakes, the car will stop on the side of the road.

　　He raised his hand to press the double flash lamp, then leaned down, took the two ends of the chain from Ye Qingtang's hand, aimed the lock at the ring, and loosened his nails and buckled firmly.

　　"Thank you." Ye Qingtang raised his hand to gently stroke the jewel pendant between the collarbones, and was just about to turn around, but felt that the palm of his hand was gently pressed on her shoulder.

　　The voice also fell from behind his ears, and he asked, "There has always been a problem." ”

　　"What?"

　　"There should be many good people chasing you." Why not think about falling in love? ”

　　There is not much emotion, it seems to be just a casual tone.

Chapter 16 -16- It's time to tell you

　　"If, I'm not good at falling in love, can you believe it?" Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

　　Ying Ru withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and started the car in gears, while asking, "What do you say?" ”

　　"I haven't been in a relationship for more than half a year." Ye Qingtang took out from her bag the small retro mirror with the pictorial girl on the back, and looked at the necklace around her neck, the thick green gemstone, lining her skin as if it were whiter.

　　"Get rid of formal relationships that have only been dated once or twice, and the short ones are one or two weeks, and the long ones can be three months," she says. The only one that was close to half a year, just because I was in Los Angeles and he was in Atlanta, the distance limited the frequency with which we could see each other and slowed down the rate at which I got bored a little. ”

　　Should ruspice grasp the point, "You get bored easily?"

　　"Yes." Ye Qingtang said calmly. Put away the mirror and throw it back into the bag, "I'm a person who is very fast on the top and very fast on the top, and when I am on the top, I can fly to the other city in the middle of the night to meet him; when I go down, I will also cut clearly and without nostalgia." ”

　　"For what reason will you do it to someone?" It should be said that "upper head" and "lower head" are known because Sun Miao also often says it.

　　"It's hard to say. For various reasons, such as going out to dinner together, the other party's attitude towards the waiter is not liked, such as because I am studying at the Ivy League School, there is an inexplicable sense of superiority, such as showing a tendency to please white people... Others are very trivial, such as wearing a tank top sweatshirt and just after playing a sweaty body to hug me, I will feel so disgusted; for example, the leg hair is too strong..."

　　Ying Ruyu laughed out loud, "It seems that it is because you don't know each other well enough." Why not get more contacted and dive deeper together again? ”

　　"Because I'm up there very fast. Especially when encountering rush, there is no way to endure, may meet on the first day, and the next day will directly confess. I can't accept delayed gratification, and I feel that feelings are only satisfied and unsatisfied. Delayed gratification or gratification? I especially wanted to drink ice soda at noon in the summer heat, and I didn't drink it until the evening, and the moment of intense desire was over, and even if I drank soda, it was no longer the bottle I wanted. ”

　　Silence should be sent for a while.

　　Ye Qingtang continued: "Although I also crave long-term and strong intimacy, it seems that it is difficult to overcome the dullness after the decline of freshness. If there were more flavors waiting for me to try, I wouldn't keep chewing gum that was no longer sweet. ”

　　Ying Ruyu turned his head to look at her, "Have you ever thought that, perhaps, true love is not chewing gum." ”

　　"I know it's not, I know." Ye Qingtang narrowed his gaze slightly, and smiled very lightly, "... So I said I'm not good at being in a relationship. What I have talked about is as if it is the illusion of being in love. ”

　　Ying Ru sent his finger to tap the steering wheel, and for a moment, he changed the angle along the topic and asked, "Have you imagined what the other half of the ideal love would look like?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang suddenly realized, turned his head and glanced at Ying Ruyu, fortunately, his expression was very flat, and his tone was also very casual.

　　She raised her hand and lightly touched the tip of her nose, smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it very carefully." ”

　　Ying Ru yuguang caught a glimpse of her movements.

　　No puncture – touching the tip of your nose is a subconscious act of lying.

　　For a moment there was silence.

　　After a moment, Ye Qingtang laughed and said, "Speaking of which, Teacher Ying, why are you still single?" According to the common tradition in the country, it seems that most men over the age of thirty are married. ”

　　Ying Ru said: "I seem to have said that I am very busy and have no time to think about personal problems. ”

　　"Is there no other reason than being busy?"

　　Ying Ru was silent for a few seconds, or said concisely: "Because of my parents, I am more cautious about romantic relationships and more cautious about marriage." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "So you see, I'm not good at it, you're very cautious, it's better to just take care of the moment and have fun in time." ”

　　You should not say anything, smile lightly, look straight ahead, and don't say anything more.

　　-

　　When Ye Qingtang arrived at the studio, Wu Qingshu was not there.

　　After asking, I learned that she had a cold in the morning, and at noon there was a little low-grade fever, and Lu Mao sent her back.

　　Ye Qingtang comforted her on WeChat, and did not receive a reply, so he sent a message to Lu Mao to inquire about the situation.

　　Lu Mao said she had taken anti-fever medicine and was sleeping.

　　Ye Qingtang asked Lu Mao: Are you still at her house?

　　Lu Mao: Yes. Is there anything to be done to me? I brought my computer.

　　Ye Qingtang: No, no. Trouble to help take care of her, she is a person with many problems, especially like to drink ice drinks when she has a cold.

　　Lu Mao: No problem.

　　In the instant that the phone locked the screen, Ye Qingtang realized something in hindsight.

　　At four o'clock in the afternoon, after dealing with the matter at hand, Ye Qingtang left the studio first and went to Visit Wu Qingshu.

　　The person who opened the door was Lu Mao.

　　Ye Qingtang was not surprised that he stayed here for an afternoon, and when he changed his slippers, he asked, "Did she have a fever?" ”

　　"It's already retired."

　　When I entered the door, Wu Qingshu was wearing a housecoat and a thin blanket, leaning sickly on the sofa, holding a PS5 gamepad in his hand, and playing a 4A masterpiece with a western theme.

　　Other people are sick because their faces are haggard, and she is the sick Xi Shi I have seen in pity - the little boy who has seen this, I am afraid that it is painful and broken.

　　Ye Qingtang looked at the washed strawberries on the tea table as above, the cherry and the coconut with a straw and half of the milk tea, and couldn't help but tease, "Sister Qingshu is sick so enjoyable." ”

　　Wu Qingshu slashed his eye knife.

　　Ye Qingtang put away his backpack, sat down next to her, reached out and probed her forehead, making sure that there was really no heat before he was relieved.

　　And in this moment, Wu Qingshu's role was shot to death.

　　She irritably threw away the handle.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Don't you want to blame me?" Your game is already a good game, and you are not allowed to throw the pot. ”

　　Lu Mao, who was beside him, also raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

　　Wu Qingshu stared over.

　　Lu Mao said, "... I help you fight? ”

　　Not refusing is equivalent to agreeing, this is the experience that Lu Mao and Wu Qingshu have explored after getting along.

　　So he picked up the handle in front of her, sat on the arm of the sofa, and operated to start the checkpoint again.

　　Lu Classmate shot a precise headshot, and the reward target in the fortress was destroyed in a moment.

　　He handed back the handle and left the link of happily touching the corpse to pick up equipment for Wu Qingshu.

　　Ye Qingtang watched from the sidelines, unaware that he was smiling at his aunt.

　　"What do you want to eat for dinner?" How many dishes do I order to eat together? Ye Qingtang asked.

　　Lu Mao raised his wrist and looked at the Apple Watch, "I may have to leave in a moment, there is something going on at home." ”

　　Wu Qingshu said lightly: "When I leave, take away the fruit you bought, I can't finish eating." ”

　　"I can't finish eating slowly."

　　"It's rotten."

　　"Throw it away when it's rotten." Lu Mao smiled, "Buy a new one." ”

　　Wu Qingshu no longer paid attention to him.

　　After a while, when Lu Mao was about to leave, the video phone at the door rang.

　　Ye Qingtang sat close to the door, then stood up and walked over to connect.

　　She glanced at the person in the picture and paused.

　　Wu Qingshu asked, "Who?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head and whispered, "Fang Shao." ”

　　Wu Qingshu was also stunned.

　　Ye Qingtang asked for her opinion, "Can't open the door?" ”

　　"Let's go." Wu Qingshu was pitiful.

　　But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the atmosphere is not right. Lu Mao's heart was alarmed.

　　After a while, there was a knock at the door.

　　Ye Qingtang was very struggling when she opened the door, it is true that she is a lover of Shuluo field literature, but it happened to her girlfriend...

　　The moment the door opened, Lu Mao couldn't help but stand up straight and glance towards that side.

　　Coming in was a young man, tall, handsome, with an inch head, a row of stud earrings on his earbones, dressed in black, with a ring of tattoos on his exposed arms. His temperament is very contradictory, partial to gloom and decadence, and the appearance alone is absolutely unforgettable.

　　The man's gaze also looked over, but only glanced faintly at his face, without even asking him who he was.

　　Wu Qingshu has silently pressed the game to pause.

　　Ye Qingtang stood up, grabbed his backpack, made a look at Lu Mao, and then said to Wu Qingshu, "Let's go first." There is a need to call. ”

　　She really didn't like Fang Shao as a person, afraid that if she was in the same room, she would argue with people on the spot regardless of Wu Qingshu's face.

　　Wu Qingshu only nodded.

　　Out the door and towards the elevator.

　　Lu Mao, who was half a step behind him, asked, "Sister Tang, who is this person?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang sighed, "Qingshu high school classmates, first love, ex-boyfriend, ex-boyfriend and... I don't know if it counts as a current boyfriend. I don't understand, it's too complicated, and their relationship is probably not clear to them. ”

　　Lu Mao opened his mouth.

　　However, after a few moments, he laughed and asked, "Sister Tang, who do you think I have more hope with this person?" ”

　　"Do you still need to ask?" Ye Qingtang reached out and patted his shoulder like an elder, "Teach you a trick, you have to be bold and careful to deal with her." ”

　　Lu Mao smiled brightly, "I have already realized it." ”

　　Taking the elevator down, Ye Qingtang thought of something and asked, "When did you get interesting to Qingshu?" ”

　　Lu Mao was very calm: "Love at first sight." ”

　　At nine o'clock in the evening, before Ye Qingtang continued to be busy after taking a shower, he called Wu Qingshu and asked her how she was doing now and whether she had a fever again.

　　"No, it's already good."

　　"Fang Shao is gone?"

　　"Long gone."

　　"He doesn't stay longer when you're sick."

　　"He has a show at night."

　　"Why can't you share a little bit of your attitude towards him?"

　　Wu Qingshu did not speak for a moment.

　　"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you."

　　"Huh?"

　　Ye Qingtang raised his eyes and looked at the "Cuckoo Bells" that had just read the first chapter at hand, "Teacher Lin and Sienna are getting married, August 6th." He sent me an invitation... Received yesterday. ”

　　Wu Qingshu seemed to take a breath, "... You okay? ”

　　"It was fine. It's kind of like having an appendix surgery. ”

　　"Then you and Ying Ru sent... Do you want to continue? ”

　　"I'm so happy and in tune with him, why don't you continue?" Ye Qingtang asked rhetorically.

　　“...... I don't understand you. ”

　　"I don't understand you either."

　　Both laughed out loud on the phone.

　　-

　　The development is imminent, Ye Qingtang Studio and Yi mustard bookstore run between the two places, from morning to night.

　　When she received the call from Ying Ru, she was still in a mustard bookstore, making adjustments to the layout of the scene.

　　She turned the phone on hands-free and placed it on a cardboard box aside, fine-tuning the position of the bookshelf as she answered it.

　　Ying Ru asked her, "Are you out of work?" ”

　　"No, it's still setting up the venue."

　　"The partner sent some fresh lychees, do you like to eat, I sent it to you."

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Teacher Ying doesn't even like to eat fruits that are too sweet?" ”

　　Ying Ruyu also laughed, "I drove over--A Mustard Bookstore?" ”

　　"Hmm."

　　About half an hour passed, and Ye Qingtang heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

　　She looked down at the rotating armrest, and sure enough, she had sent it.

　　"It should be sent as such."

　　The person below raised his head.

　　She waved.

　　You should go up the stairs and see that on the side of the spiral staircase against the wall, there are semi-active transparent acrylic bookshelves, which appear to be sample books for effect preview.

　　Walking to the wide platform on the third floor, Ye Qingtang was moving a bookshelf.

　　He quickly took two steps over to grab the handle, "Where to move?" ”

　　"Over there."

　　The place where Ye Qingtang raised his hand was next to the lonely bench with a missing corner.

　　After moving into place, Ye Qingtang took two steps back to check, instructed him to help fine-tune left and right, and then took a few sample books from the side of the carton and put them on the table, looked back again at the effect, and took out his mobile phone to take a few photos, which was satisfied.

　　She clapped her palms and the ash on her pants, sat down on the bench, picked up the water bottle that had only half drunk from the ground next to her, unscrewed it, and drank it in one breath, relieved contentedly.

　　Ying Ruyu sat down beside her, slightly bent over, with his forearm on his lap, and turned his head to look at her.

　　She was wearing a white T-shirt, denim suspender pants and canvas shoes, and a large pocket on each side of the pants, bulging and not knowing what was packed.

　　The hair was tied up, there were fluffy broken hairs at the traces, and a thin layer of sweat floated on the forehead and the tip of the nose.

　　Ying Ru asked, "How can you be alone?" ”

　　"The others can't help much anymore. Some of the adjustments of the arrangement, the measure is very subtle, at this time I can only come by myself, because there is no systematic logic, pure intuition, I can not say why a few centimeters to the left is better. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "I have this experience too." ”

　　Ye Qingtang's arms were propped back, and his head was slowly swinging from side to side, moving his cervical spine.

　　Ying Ru said, "I saw that there were bookshelves on the steps. ”

　　"Fortunately, these steps should be designed by the teacher to be spacious enough, otherwise the bookshelf will have to be customized, and I don't know how much more money you have to spend." Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "I am imagining that everyone will watch while walking, and if they meet someone they like, they can sit down on the steps and read." ”

　　"Here too." She patted the bench, "If you have a bookshelf at hand, you can't help but take a copy and turn it over." ”

　　"Hmm." There was a subtle sense of emotion, "This is one of the intentions I put this bench here." ”

　　"One? What else is the intention? ”

　　"You guess?"

　　Ye Qingtang leaned back and closed his eyes.

　　Feeling it for a moment, he smiled and said, "In a daze." ”

　　"Yes."

　　"Really?" Ye Qingtang opened his eyes and looked at him, "I said blindly." ”

　　Ying Ru said: "My philosophy, the function of architecture does not need to attach too much thinking and education costs. For example, it is very quiet, suitable for reading and dazed, then the role of this bench is to read books and daze. ”

　　Ye Qingtang looked at him and listened very seriously.

　　And when she is serious, there is always a bright light in her eyes.

　　Ying Ru paused, his gaze slowly falling from her eyes and stopping at her lips, "Of course, it is not a problem to temporarily give it some other function." ”

　　"Such as?"

　　"For example..." Ying Ru ran out his hand, pressed the back of her head, and lowered his head to approach.

　　Ye Qingtang's breathing slowed down involuntarily, probably because of the bitter breath on his body and the eyes that stared at her were too gloomy, because of the light behind his back, his eyes were a little dark. He clearly did not smile, but a pair of eyes could be called affectionate at the moment.

　　She was inexplicably a little flustered.

　　Fortunately, the kiss fell.

　　She soon ran out of energy to think.

　　When he stepped back, Ye Qingtang smiled lightly, "It feels a little strange." ”

　　"Huh?"

　　"Maybe because you designed it here, it's a bit like chasing a star and accidentally getting the right one."

　　Should be sent dumb and laugh.

　　"Oh, almost forgot. Just when the teacher you are here..." Ye Qingtang stood up and walked to the cardboard box next to him, just wanted to crouch down, and felt that the things in his pocket were in the way, so he pulled it out first.

　　Ying Ruyu then saw that the pocket seemed to be Doraemon's dimensional bag, and she took out a pencil, eraser, tape measure, small wrench, plum blossom screwdriver, tape cutter, handheld laser rangefinder from inside...

　　He couldn't help but laugh. He felt that he would not be surprised if she pulled out another pair of vices.

　　After the pocket was emptied, Ye Qingtang opened the cardboard box and took out a thick pile of documents from it.

　　She walked back to the bench and sat down and handed it to him, "Look at it. ”

　　Ying Ruyu took over a few pages and slightly shyly, "You wrote?" ”

　　"Hmm. I looked up some information, combined with my own experience, may not be exhaustive, but I have tried my best. ”

　　This is a well-illustrated, detailed plan that illustrates a card-like task.

　　There are many unnoticed and ingenious places in this venue, and visitors can find these places and take photos according to the prompts in the exhibition brochure.

　　A total of ten places can be collected in exchange for a cultural and creative package, including a 3D printed small model of the venue.

　　"The theme of this book fair is the habitat of the soul. The soul habitat, including physical space and spiritual space, the venue itself is part of the exhibition - when I set the theme at that time, I thought of it at the first time, at my aesthetic level, I could not find a second architectural space in the south city that was highly compatible with physics and spirit, so I repeatedly fought for Mr. Tang Lao. Ye Qingtang further explained.

　　Should be sent for a while without speaking.

　　On a certain level, architecture is also an art.

　　And art needs to resonate with people.

　　Ye Qingtang approached and nodded at the part of the architectural model of the plan, "Then there is the data of this 3D model, can you please provide it to the teacher?" I've already communicated with the person in charge here, and they agreed, but it's not about design confidentiality, so let me communicate directly with you. ”

　　"Of course you can." It should be sent as it is said.

　　He closed the plan, turned his head, and looked at her.

　　For a moment, he said, "Qingtang." ”

　　The tone of this title and the gaze of the gaze were too serious, Ye Qingtang was subtle and uncomfortable, laughing and tilting his head, "What's wrong?" ”

　　"Do you have time this Saturday night?" I booked a table and invited you to dinner. ”

　　"Is there any reason for this?"

　　"Tell you when the time comes."

　　You should make it clear that you are not on a whim.

Chapter 17 -17 - It's not that I'm thinking about it

　　Ye Qingtang took out his mobile phone and clicked on the itinerary memorandum to check, to make sure that there was no special arrangement on Saturday, and Fang agreed to come down to the invitation sent.

　　"Ready to finish work?" I send you back? "It should be asked as a question.

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, "It's almost over, the administrator is still waiting to lock the door." ”

　　Ying Ru sent helped sort out the herringbone ladder and toolbox, and Ye Qingtang took a broom and a dustpan to clean the ground of crumbs of paper, and then finished the work.

　　After getting on the bus, Ye Qingtang lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by two minutes, and the air outlet was aimed at himself to blow a cool breeze for a while.

　　"Teacher Ying, will you come to my place tonight?"

　　Ying Ru glanced at her, just about to answer, Ye Qingtang added with a smile: "Eat lychees together." ”

　　The tone of the word to the bite is very imaginative.

　　Ying Ru sent a very calm expression "Hmm".

　　After a busy day, Ye Qingtang was too tired to have a desire to talk, and his head was leaning against the car window, listening to the radio and wandering.

　　The phone rang at this time.

　　Took out his phone and looked at it, hurriedly picked it up, "Mom, haven't you rested yet?" Why did you call me so late? ”

　　Ying Ru glanced at Ye Qingtang.

　　Every time she called her family, her voice had a sweetness and a taunt that was completely different from that of others.

　　Ye Qingtang: "... You're home?! Why don't you tell me in advance that I'm going to pick you up at the airport... No, no, no, I haven't slept yet, I'll come back now, you don't sleep yet, wait for me to have a supper together. ”

　　After a long and trivial conversation, the phone hung up.

　　Ye Qingtang turned around and clapped his hands together, "Sorry sorry, I can't accompany you today, Teacher Ying, my mother is back, I have to go home."

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Then I will turn around in front." ”

　　"Trouble."

　　Ye Qingtang had been lazily leaning on, but now he sat up straight, looking at the sides of the road.

　　Ying Ruyu noticed, "What's wrong?" ”

　　"I thought I couldn't see my mother empty-handed, I haven't seen her for more than half a year... But the shops seem to be closed. ”

　　Ying Ru sent a deep groan: "Send a bouquet of flowers? ”

　　"The florist is closed."

　　"I have a friend..."

　　"How many friends do you have?" Ye Qingtang laughed out loud.

　　Ying Ruyu also smiled.

　　The florist that should be sent to friends is not far from the city center.

　　When they arrived, there was a sign that read "close" on the door, and the glass door was half open, and the lights inside were on.

　　The owner is a very temperamental little sister, wearing hair and a cardigan over her nightgown.

　　When they entered the door, the owner quipped: "Teacher Ying, can I order flowers in advance the next time?" Twice, I was called up as soon as I fell asleep. ”

　　Ye Qingtang realized that the other time was not her birthday, and Ying Ru sent her a bouquet of white tulips.

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Excuse me." It was an emergency. ”

　　The owner joked: "Then I have to add 10% service charge." ”

　　Then he raised his chin, "What flowers do you like?" Pick yourself or do I recommend it? ”

　　Ye Qingtang didn't bother people for too long, and when he saw that there were already bandaged sunflowers on the shelf, he smiled and asked, "Is this already booked by someone?" ”

　　"It's a chargeback."

　　"Then this bunch."

　　"It's going to save me." The shopkeeper smiled and pointed to the payment code on the cash register, "126 pieces." ”

　　Ying Ruyu was just about to pull out his mobile phone, Ye Qingtang stopped, "I came to come, it is my intention not to let others pay." ”

　　She opened the upper right corner of WeChat and swept it.

　　The voice prompt sounded: WeChat arrived at 138.6 yuan.

　　The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Sister, you have overpaid." The service charge is a joke. ”

　　"Ah, this..." Ye Qingtang also laughed, "It is indeed a little too disturbing to you." ”

　　Leaning over, he drew a pink rose from the aluminum bucket used to wake up the flowers, "Take this." ”

　　The shopkeeper came over, took out five branches from the inside, and took them together with the one in Ying Ru's hand, took the flower scissors and cut the end obliquely, took a piece of newspaper-style kraft paper, wrapped it casually, and handed it to Ye Qingtang, "I gave it to you, next time I will take care of my business with friends - but it will be within business hours." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and hugged the six roses, "It just so happens that I have the habit of ordering daily flowers, can you send them here?" ”

　　"Of course of course." The owner was surprised, "Then add a WeChat, right?" ”

　　Holding two bouquets of flowers, Ye Qingtang walked out of the flower shop satisfied.

　　And Ying Ruyu was once again impressed by her emotional intelligence and ability to attract people, is there anyone in the world that she can't figure out?

　　The car drove for about half an hour and arrived at the door of the Ye family villa community.

　　Ying Ruyu also got out of the driver's seat, went around to the back seat to open the door, lifted the lychee in the gift box, and handed it to Ye Qingtang, "Just take it back and eat it with your family, it will be bad in less than two days." ”

　　"Thank you thank you." Ye Qingtang freed up a gift box in his hand, "Then I'll go in." Pray to the teacher and pay attention to safety when driving. ”

　　You should send a smile, "Good night, rest early." ”

　　Ying Ru sent back to the car, just ready to start the car, and then saw the figure in front of the car flickering, Ye Qingtang, who was occupied with both hands, walked around the front of the car.

　　He lowered the car window, and Ye Qingtang temporarily placed the gift box on the ground, and the free arm reached in through the car window and hooked the back of his neck.

　　She touched his lips briskly and whispered, "I owe you once." Tomorrow...... See you the night after tomorrow. ”

　　Without waiting for him to react, she stepped back, put on the gift box, and turned away with the sun-like bouquet.

　　Ying Ru put his arm on the steering wheel, turned his head and watched Ye Qingtang enter the community outside the car window, the figure disappeared into the night, and Fang retracted his gaze.

　　He let out a laugh.

　　-

　　Ye Qingtang knocked on the door, the nanny who lived at home opened the door, she stepped on the canvas shoes on her feet, the slippers were too late to change, and hurriedly went inside, "Mom! ”

　　Zhuang Yujin in the kitchen came out.

　　Ye Qingtang put the lychee gift box, ran a few steps over and shoved the bouquet into Zhuang Yujin's arms, followed by a handful of people hugging, "I miss you so much!" ”

　　Zhuang Yujin was knocked back by her and took a half step back, laughing and touching her hair, "Where did you come from?" ”

　　"The venue of the exhibition — have you had dinner?"

　　"I've eaten on the plane, and your dad is cooking a late-night snack."

　　"Look at it." Ye Qingtang pushed Zhuang Yujin toward the kitchen.

　　Ye Chengyin has always been a Confucian businessman to the outside world, he is engaged in the tea business, and in his early years he was a high school teacher, compared to those who have been floating in the sea, there are fewer city servants and copper odors.

　　People outside said that although Ye Zong was middle-aged, he was still personable, and he also deserved the four words of Yushu Linfeng.

　　The personable, Yushu Linfeng Ye Zong was wearing a light blue apron at this moment, standing in front of the stove to fish for yang spring noodles from the pot.

　　He turned his head to look at it, smiled and said, "The flowers sent by the girlfriend?" ”

　　"No." Zhuang Yujin said, "I don't see you learning a little, go to the airport to pick up a sign, like a tour guide, really have yours." At that time, he was still a Chinese teacher who could write poetry. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and watched them stir their mouths.

　　Ye Zong can also be regarded as a big storm on the outside, but in private, facing his wife and daughter, he is completely different from the look of being willing to fight.

　　Ye Qingtang went to wash his hands, and after a while, Yang Chun noodles were served on the table.

　　The three of them sat around, Ye Qingtang picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and looked at Zhuang Yujin while eating.

　　Zhuang Yujin is not particularly well maintained, the corners of the eyes fine lines, sunburn on the face and the like are obvious, she does not do medical beauty, and almost does not wear makeup, is Ye Qingtang knows a few people who do not look anxious at all.

　　And even so, Ye Qingtang's heart mother is the first good-looking in the world, that calm connotation, the temperament cultivated by experience and book fragrance, let her feel that she is just a shallow and beautiful vase, or just burned out, there is not much collection value of the kind.

　　Ye Qingtang and Zhuang Yujin reported on the recent situation one by one.

　　Zhuang Yujin asked, "What number of your exhibition will be launched?" ”

　　"July 10th.".

　　"I'll see when the time comes."

　　"Can you stay so long this time?"

　　"There's a publishing company that wants to help me come up with a collection, so I'll come back and take a break and sort out the photos."

　　Ye Qingtang couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Great. ”

　　Zhuang Yujin also asked about the progress of the Ye Chengyin Tea Culture Museum.

　　"Not so fast," Ye Chengyin explained, "first of all, we have to carry out surveying and mapping, geological survey, earthquake safety assessment, design units to come up with a phased design plan, but also have to synthesize the opinions of housing, urban management, water conservancy and traffic police departments, and submit them to the Planning Bureau for approval." After the construction drawings come out, they must also submit fire protection and air defense audits... Wait for the project planning permit, and then go to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau to do the construction drawing design documents and construction contract filing, as well as quality and safety supervision and registration, etc. When I finally got the construction permit, it was half a year. ”

　　"It's complicated." Ye Qingtang's head widened as he listened.

　　"Some processes have the help of designers, and they deal with the relevant departments a lot, which can save a lot of trouble."

　　Zhuang Yujin said: "Is the design supposed to be sent? ”

　　Ye Chengyin said yes.

　　"Before, I was not the hostess, but now that I'm back, Lao Ye, you should ask him to come to the house for a meal, otherwise it would be too rude."

　　Ye Chengyin smiled and said, "Ying Ru sent this person actually doesn't care much about the set of false etiquette." I asked, and I said yes or no. ”

　　Ye Qingtang ate the noodles silently on the side, without squeaking.

　　After eating the supper, Ye Qingtang took the box of lychees.

　　The gift box was placed on the table, and Zhuang Yujin helped to open it.

　　The gift box is drawer-style, and as soon as it is drawn out, a black and gold greeting card slides out.

　　"Who gave you the love letter?" Zhuang Yujin teased and unfolded the greeting card, "I wish THE LAB Architectural Office prosperity and glory..."

　　Zhuang Yujin turned his head to look at Ye Qingtang, "LAB? Isn't it the one who built your dad's house? How can you have their PR gift box? ”

　　Ye Qingtang was not panicked at all, "I know a person from their office, it seems that I happen to be the assistant of Ying Ru, I have sent her exhibition tickets before, and she has returned her favor by hand." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin did not doubt that he closed the greeting card.

　　-

　　It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that Ye Qingtang finished taking a shower and going to bed.

　　She was ready to send a message to Ying Ru, saying that Zhuang Yujin wanted him to come to the house for dinner, and thought that this was the interpersonal relationship between her parents and him, and she actually had nothing to do with her, so she did not say.

　　Only thanked him for giving him a lychee: thank you. Lychees are so sweet.

　　Selected from the album, Zhuang Yujin did not pay attention to the photo of the greeting card taken, and said: Almost exposed the filling.

　　It is expected that this time should be sent to the mail may have been asleep, is preparing to lock the phone, but there is a message back.

　　Should be sent as: Sorry, I did not take it apart and read it.

　　Ye Qingtang lay down on his back and replied: Will you be bothered when exposed?

　　Should be sent as: can not be any benefits want to account.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled a little and sent again: Why did Teacher Ying not sleep so late. Aren't you thinking about me?

　　She knows that Ying Ruji on WeChat has always been very serious, like being very careful not to leave any textual evidence.

　　So she often teased him with some edge-skimming or even cross-border messages, even if she didn't get a response, imagining that he might feel embarrassed, she would find it funny.

　　Where to know this time, "Typing" flashed.

　　Reply should be sent as follows: Yes.

　　She was so frightened that her phone almost fell and hit her face.

Chapter 18 -18- Miss Ye is actually a lover

　　-18-

　　Books and installations were sent by publishers, editorial offices or individuals one after another.

　　The studio borrowed the warehouse of the Mustard Book House to store the exhibits, and while arranging the venue, it also had to scan all the exhibits that had been received into the warehouse.

　　Wu Qingshu has to take care of some media and online store management, sometimes staying in the office, while Ye Qingtang is basically spent in the exhibition hall.

　　By Thursday night, the overall layout is basically over, followed by the work of placing exhibits and shelves, which is tedious and fragmented.

　　Ye Qingtang was the last to leave, patrolled the circle, turned off the lights, and greeted the administrator before walking out of the exhibition hall.

　　She and Ying Ru said that they would spend the night at her place tonight.

　　Carrying the bag to the door, the car that should be sent is already waiting at the door.

　　Pulling the car door open, the fresh cold air in the car came to the face, and as soon as I sat in, the heat dissipated most of the time.

　　"Have you been waiting a long time?" Ye Qingtang unloaded the bag.

　　"Nothing. Just arrived. ”

　　Before starting the car, you should point to something resting on the middle storage compartment.

　　It was a box of cut watermelons, bright red, almost no seeds, iced, cool and silky.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and asked, "For me?" ”

　　Should be sent as a nod.

　　Ye Qingtang opened the transparent plastic box and took a small fork to fork a piece of watermelon, but did not rush to eat it himself, but handed it to him.

　　Should be sent a meal, open mouth to take it.

　　"Sweet?"

　　"Hmm."

　　"I'm going to taste it."

　　She said that she was free to prop up her hand on the storage compartment, leaning closer, the tip of her tongue brushing his lips, and then raising her eyes to look at him directly.

　　For a moment, he smiled and retreated.

　　Instead, Ying Ruyu reached out and put his arm around her waist, not allowing her to retreat.

　　He chuckled softly, "Try it again? ”

　　When Ye Qingtang couldn't breathe, as if he was going to melt with this hot weather, he reached out and pushed it, and he let go of his hand.

　　Sitting upright, taking off his shoes, Ye Qingtang held a plastic box and comfortably blew the cold wind to eat watermelon.

　　Ying Ru said of the 3D model data, "Today I asked someone to try to print one, the effect of reducing it according to the original scale is not ideal, and many details are too small to restore." I asked someone to re-model the simple model directly according to the requirements of the peripheral model, and the data was sent to you after a while. ”

　　"Wouldn't that bother you too much?"

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "This is something that interns can do." ”

　　"Do you have a 3D printer there?"

　　"Yes."

　　"Can I just ask you to help print this batch of models — I'll pay the normal market price for man-hours and materials."

　　Ying Ru did not communicate with her politely, he knew ye Qingtang this person public and private distinction, "Turn around and you will directly dock with my assistant." ”

　　"Thank you! Otherwise I'll find someone else to do the trouble. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "I received a call from your father today inviting me to your house for dinner." ”

　　"Did you say yes?" My mom said that my dad's museum thing has to trouble you, she has not been in the South City before, and when she comes back, she should do her duty as a hostess. ”

　　"Not yet, I said I'll give you an answer in two days." Ying Ru glanced at her as he said this.

　　Ye Qingtang misunderstood the meaning of his glance and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about me, I know that you should hate pointless socializing." You and my dad are just working together, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to go. My dad also knows your personality, and he won't be tough. ”

　　I should have thought about it and not explained much for the time being.

　　The car drove into the underground parking lot of The Guanlan Apartment, and the two got out of the car and went inside.

　　Ying Ru saw that one of the canvas bags that Ye Qingtang was carrying today seemed to be very full, so he reached out and took it to help her carry it, "So heavy." Are they all books? ”

　　"Some are books, some are posters that are printed out to see the effect. I have to finish the review today and give feedback to my friend tomorrow for revisions. ”

　　Ying Ruyu looked at her and smiled, "Do you have to work overtime when you go home?" You don't seem to feel tired. ”

　　"Of course it doesn't get tiring to do what you like."

　　Going upstairs, Ye Qingtang took out the key from the bag he helped carry to open the door.

　　Touching the door and pressing the switch, the light white light poured down.

　　She was the first to kick off the canvas shoes on her feet, and her feet coated with cinnamon nail polish stepped on the floor and then reached into the sandals.

　　Bend down, take another pair of sandals from the shoe rack and place it on the foot of the place where you should be.

　　As the gaze fell on her toes, it extended all the way up, revealing the white instep of the cyan blood vessels, the well-defined ankles, and the evenly stopped legs wearing high-waisted denim hot pants...

　　He withdrew his gaze.

　　Changing slippers and entering the house, she should send her bag on the dining chair.

　　"Are you going to take a shower first?"

　　You should glance at it, "It's all right." ”

　　Ye Qingtang pulled up a naturally long curly hair and casually took a leather band to expose a beautiful neck. She walked over and opened the refrigerator door, took a bottle of ice water, unscrewed it, took two sips, and handed it to Ying Ruyu.

　　Ying Ruyu naturally took it, poured over the bottle, and just took a sip, Ye Qingtang tiptoed closer, making people feel defenseless, and licked on his rolling throat knot at once.

　　It should be deposited as a stay.

　　She looked up at him and smiled.

　　Ying Ruyu put the water bottle on the table, reached out and put his arm around her waist, and lifted it up.

　　"Let's go together." He said.

　　Directly carry her to the bathroom.

　　Lack of oxygen, thirst, steaming heat, everything is like this summer day.

　　Before the last step, they tossed into the bedroom.

　　At the same time that Ye Qingtang turned on the lamp, he took the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.

　　When the remote control was released, the slender fingers clasped her five fingers, raised her arms high, pressed them against the wall at the head of the bed, and kissed her with her head down.

　　Ye Qingtang's washed hair had not yet been blown, not even had time to dry, and was still dripping water.

　　The cold air vapor evaporated, and a slight cold made a layer of goosebumps on her skin, and the whole person couldn't help but give a cold gag. But not just because of the cold.

　　She felt helpless, looked down, in the dim moonlight, only saw his surrender posture, so there was a sense of complete fall, desperate to grasp something, a hand but only instinctively grabbed his hair.

　　·

　　Ye Qingtang's face was buried in the pillow, and he didn't want to move much.

　　Ying Ru smiled and took the lead in getting up and going to the bathroom.

　　He washed and walked out, shouting, and Ye Qingtang slowly got up.

　　Ying Ru sent it back to the table, took a sip of fangcai's water bottle, saw a stack of books with posters on the table, and thought it should be an exhibit, so he casually flipped through it.

　　He had come to Ye Qingtang many times, and she often shared his newly arrived books with him, so that he could read them at will, and he would take them directly if he liked them, and it became a habit after a few times.

　　This batch of books are all foreign languages, mainly literary and artistic works.

　　One of them caught the attention of Ying Ruyu — the book Ye Qingtang must have read it intensively, and many colorful sticky notes were densely pasted between the pages, and the key words of the prompt content were handwritten on them.

　　When I opened it, the pages also had the passages she had drawn with colored fiber pens and the reading impressions she had written down.

　　The book is a red cover, black silhouettes of houses, branches, and birds, titled The Cuckoo Bell, by Lyndon Keats.

　　Sandwiched in the book is a stacked poster, opened to see, seems to be used as an illustration of the exhibition stand, the content is the book and the author's introduction:

　　Lyndon Keats, a famous writer and literary theorist, whose real name is Lin Muyong, is a Chinese-American native of Lishui, Zhejiang Province, and graduated from Princeton University. At the age of 22, he began writing non-fiction, and the Virgo "Goodbye Eve" caused a sensation as soon as it was published... "The Cuckoo Bell" is its fifth work, landing at the third place on the New York Times best-seller list for 10 consecutive weeks, and this book tells the story of a calm afternoon, lurking behind the middle-class Rodriguez family, and gradually approaching crisis...

　　Lyndon Keats。

　　L·K。

　　L.

　　Ying Ruyu stared at the name for a few seconds, out of an inexplicable intuition that could not explain the reason, he took the phone, clicked on google, and entered the name.

　　The first result was an interview with Lyndon Keats published in a magazine two weeks ago.

　　Should be sent as point open that interview report.

　　Below the title, a photograph of Lyndon Keats talking to reporters.

　　He glanced at it, only to feel the blood rapidly clotting.

　　-

　　Ye Qingtang came out of the shower, but saw that Ying Ruyu had already changed his clothes and was standing in the bedroom doorway buttoning his shirt.

　　"Are you going back?"

　　Ying Ru glanced at it, but did not make a sound, and there was no expression on the cold face.

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned.

　　She had never seen such a look of Ying Ruyu, indescribable.

　　When I first met him, she talked to him, and he was also a little indifferent, but that indifference was finally with due courtesy.

　　At this moment, the politeness disappeared, only pure indifference.

　　"What's wrong?" She tried to laugh, but without success.

　　You should send the last button and go to get the mechanical watch on the table.

　　He looked down and slipped the silver metal strap over his wrist.

　　"Click" a sound.

　　Ye Qingtang likes to wear a watch as if she were sending a watch, and even this has become part of her sexual addiction.

　　At this moment, this sound made her heart giggle for no reason.

　　Dressed, Ying Ruyu finally raised his head and looked at her calmly.

　　His voice was even calmer, "Linton? Lin Muyong? ”

　　Ye Qingtang was shocked.

　　"Unexpectedly, Miss Ye was actually a lover."

　　Ying Ru said this sentence lightly, withdrew his gaze, did not look at her again, and went straight to the door.

　　"Should..." She seemed to lose her language function.

　　You should change your shoes and open the door.

　　Ye Qingtang involuntarily took two steps forward.

　　The figure at the door paused slightly, and in the next instant, he pulled the door open and walked out without hesitation.

　　The door slammed shut.

　　Ye Qingtang was fixed in place.

　　It is not that this situation was not unexpected, even if it is not today, it may be the day of the exhibition. Or, one day in the future.

　　Or maybe they were tired of each other by then, so they could get together and disperse.

　　She didn't even have to explain anything, and it was reasonable to say: We agreed at the beginning that it was a sex partner, not involving any emotional exchange, and I don't owe you on this level.

　　And when it really happened, Ying Ruyu's reaction was even calmer than she expected.

　　But the sound of the door closing made her heart pound.

　　It was as if someone had fired a cold shot at her.

Chapter 19 -19 - Cancel It

　　-19-

　　The car pulled out of the underground garage, onto the road, and sped all the way.

　　When he encountered a red light, he should step on the brakes as if the messenger had stepped on the brakes, and the moment the car stopped, he couldn't help but punch at the steering wheel.

　　The red light counts down, and a few seconds have passed since the green light turned.

　　The rear car patiently honked its horn.

　　It should be sent back to God.

　　*

　　Ye Qingtang went into the bathroom, picked up the hair dryer and blew her hair, blew it until it was half dry, changed the tooth comb, and went down from the top of the head to the end of the hair.

　　Pulling a small knot, she hissed softly and came back to her senses.

　　I looked in the mirror and saw my own somewhat empty look.

　　She went back to the bedroom, put on a coat, sat down at the dining table, and then she picked up the proofing poster on top of it and looked at it.

　　She pursed her lips, folded the poster, opened the book and clipped it back.

　　I opened the canvas bag that was on the dining chair and pulled out the poster that I was going to review tonight.

　　She casually spread one out, stepped on the edge of the dining chair with both feet, grabbed an oily red marker pen from the side, and pulled the lid of the pen "meh" out.

　　I squeezed the pen, glanced at the poster, and drew a circle around the part that needed to be modified.

　　Suddenly it felt tasteless.

　　Put your feet down, step on the slippers, lean down with your head down, put the marker pen cap on, pull it open, cover it again, pull it off again...

　　-

　　Early in the morning, she and Wu Qingshu met in the studio, and the other party was shocked to see her plain face, "Aren't you overindulging?" Dark circles are falling off. ”

　　Ye Qingtang said lightly, "It's over, who do you want to go with?" ”

　　"Aren't you just like glue?" Wu Qingshu was puzzled.

　　Ye Qingtang pulled open the chair and explained simply while turning on the computer: "He knows the existence of Teacher Lin. ”

　　Wu Qingshu looked at her, "Why are you so calm." What did he say? Is there an overreaction? ”

　　"They are all adults, how can they be too radical." If you can't accept a good gathering and dispersion, you will get it. Ye Qingtang took out the stack of posters that had been reviewed last night from his bag and handed them to Wu Qingshu, "I circled and marked the places that need to be modified, and you instructed the interns to modify it." ”

　　Wu Qingshu no longer asked questions, and he had already seen no surprise. Ye Qingtang had not been in love for more than half a year, not to mention the gun-friend relationship, "Oh yes, that 3D model thing..."

　　Ye Qingtang paused, "This one was cut and changed to something else, a handbook or a canvas bag or something... I look back. ”

　　-

　　When the phone call came, Ying Ruji was drawing a design by hand in the office.

　　On Saturday, some people stayed behind to volunteer overtime, and through the frosted glass walls, they could faintly see the blurred light emitted by the computer display outside.

　　Ying Ru put down the pencil, answered the phone, closed his eyes, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

　　"Hello, is it Mr. Ying?"

　　"Yes."

　　"This is the Crepuscolo restaurant, you booked a seat we can only help you keep until 7:30, how long can you get there..."

　　"Cancel it." It should be said lightly.

　　"Are you sure there is no need for a meal today?" Then I'll help you cancel it first. Next time you need to eat, you are welcome to call again..."

　　Hang up the phone, send it up, go to the pantry and renew a cup of coffee for yourself.

　　Today, Sun Miao and Yao Hui were rubbing electricity in the company, and the two chairs were next to each other, facing the same computer screen, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

　　You should withdraw your gaze, go back to the office, close the door, and continue to draw.

　　At about ten o'clock in the evening, I received a message from Chu Yu on WeChat and asked him: How?

　　The implications were self-evident, asking him about his evening meals.

　　Should send a reply: did not go.

　　Chu Yu sent a voice note, laughing and scolding: "I helped you entrust the relationship to the position booked by the queue, and I also owed the boss a favor, and as a result, you told you that you did not go?" ”

　　Crepuscolo restaurant was the place where Chu Yu proposed to his girlfriend Jenny at that time, the environment, dishes and services are all excellent, so it is very difficult to book a seat, and the queue is almost more than a month.

　　Should be sent as if not replied to WeChat.

　　After a pause, he called Chu Yu directly and asked him, "Are you free?" Come out for a drink. ”

　　-

　　As the date of launch approaches, the studio gets busier.

　　Since Monday, most of the people have gathered at the side of the Mustard Bookstore, some of them following Ye Qingtang to arrange the exhibits, some of which are directed by Lu Mao to put the newly arrived exhibits into storage, and the other is trained by Wu Qingshu on the reception matters of the exhibition day, including ticket inspection, guidance, response to consultation, patrol, cashier, etc.

　　Busy until the evening, Ye Qingtang ordered a box lunch for everyone.

　　Afraid of soiling the exhibition hall layout, they all withdrew and squatted in the parking lot behind a mustard bookstore to eat.

　　Lu Mao squatted next to Wu Qingshu, seeing that she still didn't move, only pinching chopsticks, frowning, and carefully picking out the celery in the beef one by one.

　　"You don't eat celery?"

　　"Can't stand the smell."

　　Lu Mao looked at the only lump of rice in his hand, "... Swap with you? ”

　　Wu Qingshu raised his eyes.

　　"Bacon with artemisia, dried incense, scrambled eggs with tomatoes..." Lu Mao reported the color of the dish.

　　Wu Qingshu resolutely handed him the one in his hand.

　　Lu Mao smiled and said, "The next time I get it, let's confirm it." ”

　　"Everyone is starving to death, where is the time to confirm for me."

　　"You're the boss and have the right to make a small stove for yourself."

　　"There's a ghost. The purpose of our studio is to treat everyone who eats and lives the same regard regardless of the boss and employee. ”

　　Lu Mao's eyebrows were slightly raised, "Live together? ”

　　Wu Qingshu's eyes swept over.

　　"I was wrong." Lu Mao immediately moved to the side a little, and he had no doubt that Sister Wu would put the box lunch in her hand on his head.

　　On the other side, Ye Qingtang, who was standing in the shadow of the tree, had not yet opened the box lunch, and was placed on the steps on the side, busy replying to WeChat.

　　She had been busy all day, and only then did she have time to read the news.

　　There was a new friend application in the address book, and the verification message read: Ying General Assistant.

　　After passing, the side introduced itself: Hello Miss Ye, I am Shen Fei, the assistant of Ying Zong, to connect with you about the 3D model of a mustard bookstore.

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned.

　　She thought it was yellow.

　　Ye Qingtang has not replied, Shen Fei sent another one: This side of the modeling has been completed, can be printed at any time, do not know how many sets Miss Ye needs? What sizes do I need?

　　Ye Qingtang: Can I send you a form with quantity, size and market quotation later?

　　Shen Fei: That would be more convenient. Thanks a lot!

　　Ye Qingtang: I should say thank you. There is also the necklace thing last time, and thank you for taking the trouble.

　　Shen Fei sent a puzzled panda head emoji: necklace?

　　Ye Qingtang: Just the last time I had a birthday, you helped pick out the birthday gift.

　　Shen Fei: Ah.

　　Shen Fei: ... That is to say, is there a possibility that he should always pick it himself?

　　Ye Qingtang's first reaction was to laugh out loud.

　　After laughing, he was silent.

　　After a while, he replied again: There is something I want to ask Miss Shen. Our book fair was held on July 10th, and the content was mostly related to the field of design. I would like to thank the LAB for its support of our event, so I plan to give away some tickets, I don't know how many people in your office there are?

　　Shen Fei: Thank you Miss Ye! Too polite.

　　Shen Fei: We have some employees who are busy with projects in other places, and they don't necessarily have time to go. I'll go to the executive first to talk about the approximate number of people, and then I'll get back to you.

　　Ye Qingtang: Okay, trouble.

　　Ye Qingtang locked the phone, and only then did he serve the box lunch.

　　She squeezed the bamboo chopsticks and pulled the rice at once, completely without appetite.

　　After eating, everyone returned to the venue to continue working.

　　Ye Qingtang called Wu Qingshu aside and told her that the 3D model did not need to be cut, or as usual.

　　Wu Qingshu had to exclaim: "It should be sent as if it were really a clear distinction between public and private." ”

　　Ye Qingtang opened his mouth, but did not say anything more, and went back to silently set up the exhibition.

　　At the end of the evening, Ye Qingtang drove Wu Qingshu back first.

　　Originally planning to go back to his apartment, he temporarily changed his mind and went back home.

　　When they got home, Ye Chengyin and Zhuang Yujin were already planning to go to rest, and when they saw her entering the door, they were listless and asked what was wrong.

　　"Nothing... Just a busy day, a little tired - is there any fruit to eat? I didn't eat much at night. ”

　　"Tired and running back, isn't it closer to the apartment?" Ye Chengyin was about to go to the kitchen, "Cook you a noodle?" ”

　　"To be undigested. I'll just eat some fruit. Ye Qingtang put away his bag and walked to the kitchen by himself.

　　As soon as I opened the refrigerator door, I saw half a watermelon wrapped in plastic wrap.

　　She looked at it silently, raised her hand to pull open the lock box, took an apple from it, and took the box of yogurt from the grid on the refrigerator door.

　　Ye Chengyin took the apple, washed it for her, and cut it into pieces.

　　Ye Qingtang bit the straw and yogurt, leaned his head on his back, smiled and said, "Thank you Daddy, Daddy is so nice." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin also came over and asked her, "Really don't you want to eat something else?" There are leftovers that your dad can scramble for you with egg fried rice. ”

　　"It's going to be fat."

　　"I said girls don't lose weight, healthy and healthy look the best."

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "If I look so good like my mother, I won't lose weight." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "Greasy mouth slippery tongue." ”

　　Ye Qingtang took a slice of the cut apple from the plate and asked in a casual tone, "Didn't you say that you wanted to invite the LAB office's YingRu to dinner?" when? ”

　　"The day after tomorrow." Zhuang Yujin said, "But he didn't want to come to the house, saying that he was too disturbed, so I booked a restaurant." ”

　　Ye Qingtang was silent and shoved the apple into his mouth.

　　-

　　It's July.

　　In the afternoon, the sun was scorching, and a row of green trees was windless and still. Just by pulling open the blinds and looking out, I felt that the sunlight of the white flowers was going to melt people.

　　Assistant Shen Fei came over to inform the car that it was ready and it was time to leave.

　　Ying Ru replied, left the window, took the mobile phone on the table, and walked outside.

　　At the elevator entrance, it collided with Sun Miao and Yao Hui.

　　The two of them greeted each other in unison: "Hello Teacher Ying." ”

　　Ying Ru nodded.

　　Took a step and stopped again, "Wait. ”

　　The two of them hurriedly paused, and Sun Miao asked, "Do you have any instructions for Teacher Ying?" ”

　　Ying Ru glanced at what Sun Miao was carrying, which was an environmentally friendly cloth bag with the words "Art Book Project" printed on it.

　　"From a mustard bookstore?"

　　Sun Miao nodded, "Yes! Qingtang - Didn't Miss Ye give us tickets, I went to the construction site in the morning to see it and was still free, so I went for a walk. ”

　　"What's the catch?"

　　"Bought a few books, and some peripherals." Sun Miao reached for the cloth bag, first took out a model in a transparent plastic box from it, and handed it to Yao Hui to help hold it.

　　Ying Ru's eyes fell on the model, "Did you succeed in your challenge?" ”

　　"Huh?" Sun Miao reacted, "You mean that set point activity?" No, it was Miss Ye black-box for me. She said she didn't know if it was too difficult to set up, it had been a week, and no one had found all ten places. She said that she estimated that one of the twenty models printed could not be sent out, so she gave me one. ”

　　"I'll see." It should be said in a flat voice.

　　Yao Hui handed the model over.

　　The overall height of the model is about 20 centimeters, but the details are not lost, especially the persimmon tree in the courtyard of the annex.

　　"I remember sending them just white molds, who did the coloring?" It should be asked as asked.

　　Sun Miao said: "I also asked Miss Ye this question, and she said that she took the time to color herself. ”

　　Ying Ruyu did not speak for a while, but only looked at the model in a transparent box.

　　The orange persimmon fruit came to life, and the frost on it was all there, and I didn't know what color it was, which could be so realistic.

　　After looking at it for a moment, he should return his gaze and hand the model back to Sun Miao.

　　Sun Miao smiled and said, "It seems that the museum will be closed next week, and Teacher Ying can also go to see it when he has time, which is really interesting." ”

　　Ying Ru said, "There is no such idleness. I have to take over the project work, otherwise I can afford to raise you apprentices who go to the exhibition on weekdays. ”

　　Say it, turn around and go.

　　Sun Miao was frightened by this sudden cool and fluttering yin and yang strange qi, and his smile was directly fixed on his face.

　　He exchanged a "life-saving" look with Yao Hui.

Chapter 20 -20- May still owe him an apology

　　-20-

　　After 7:30 on this day, visitors to the exhibition began to leave one after another.

　　Ye Qingtang was checking the inventory of today's exhibits on his computer, and his mobile phone rang a WeChat prompt.

　　It was sent by Shen Fei, the assistant who should be sent: Miss Ye, can't you enter the exhibition at this time?

　　Ye Qingtang quickly replied: Miss Shen is at the door?

　　Shen Fei: Yes.

　　Ye Qingtang: Wait a minute, I'll come right over.

　　Ye Qingtang rushed to the door, and Shen Fei was standing outside the ticket gate, smiling and waving at her.

　　She asked the intern who checked the ticket to let her go, looked behind Shen Fei, and asked with a quiet smile: "Miss Shen did not come with her colleagues in the company?" ”

　　"I went to dinner with the customer and came straight over." Shen Fei smiled and said, "I prefer to go to the exhibition alone, no one urges me to be more free." ”

　　Shen Fei entered the door, unloaded his bag and passed through the security machine, and said with no embarrassment: "I see that the bill says that the museum closes at 8 o'clock, so..."

　　Ye Qingtang explained: "We usually only go in and out after 7:30. ”

　　"Is that delaying your work?"

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "It's all right, we still have to tidy up and clean after we close the museum, and we can't leave work after basically nine o'clock - do you need me to take you around?" ”

　　"No, I can just walk around by myself." By the way..." Shen Fei said with a smile, "I heard my colleague Sun Miao say that there is a set point challenge..."

　　"Yes." Ye Qingtang went to the side of the inquiry table and took a folding booklet and handed it to Shen Fei, "There are clues on it, just take a picture and show it to me after you find it." She smiled and added, "It doesn't matter if you can't find it, I'll also black-box one for you."

　　Shen Fei smiled and said, "I'll try it first." ”

　　Ye Qingtang sent Shen Fei to the entrance of the main building, and returned to the rest room to continue checking the inventory.

　　At eight o'clock, Ye Qingtang sent someone to the venue to remind the remaining exhibitors to prepare to leave, and then sent a message to Shen Fei separately, telling her to continue.

　　At about 8:00, Shen Fei held three books and walked to the cash register at the exit on the first floor.

　　Ye Qingtang walked over to help her settle the bill himself.

　　Shen Fei clicked on the photo album, showed it to her, smiled and said, "Miss Ye, do you check these ten places?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang crossed the photos she took, ten whole, and not a single one was missed.

　　A moment of trepidation.

　　She smiled, took a large cloth bag from behind, packed up the whole set of perimeters, including a model of a mustard bookstore, and handed it to Shen Fei.

　　Shen Fei paid the three books, still holding them in his arms, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry to delay you." I left first, Miss Ye has something to do if you contact me on WeChat. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Okay. Pay attention to safety on the way back. ”

　　Shen Fei left from the exit and went around to the parking lot at the back.

　　She pulled open the back seat door and handed over the cloth bag with a smile, "Aren't you really going to go shopping by yourself?" This is the most interesting exhibition I've visited this year. ”

　　"Say it again." The man sitting in the shadows answered casually.

　　I opened the cloth bag and looked down at the model in the transparent plastic box.

　　-

　　The book fair ended a week later.

　　Almost everyone in the studio is tired of a layer of skin.

　　Before the rest, the remaining exhibits and surroundings had to be transported back to the studio's warehouse, dismantled the site layout, cleaned and restored the venue, and checked and confirmed by the person in charge before it was truly over.

　　It took another three or five working days.

　　Ye Qingtang gave everyone a three-day leave.

　　She herself did not have the courage to do the finishing business immediately, and went home to eat, sleep, and relax.

　　She wasn't a particularly idle personality, and by the third day she was actually a little bored.

　　In the afternoon, he sent a message to Han Jun, saying that he would invite him to dinner.

　　During the exhibition, there were not enough people, and Han Jun found a few friends to come and help. Coupled with the last birthday halfway pick, but also owe him a favor.

　　Han Jun said that there was no need to invite guests, come out and play.

　　Ye Qingtang asked if his social circle had recently expanded, and whether there were any fresh faces to see.

　　Han Jun: There must be! They are all "sharp goods". I'll make an appointment and come out and sing.

　　Ye Qingtang dressed up and went to the appointment.

　　When she arrived, the people had just arrived.

　　At a cursory glance, there were some friends who had been playing with Han Jun, and a few raw faces.

　　As soon as she sat down, a strange young man came over to talk. He was tall, visually 188, wearing a black outfit, no tattoos on his arms, and no messy ornaments on his body, and he picked them up very cleanly.

　　He introduced himself as a member of the South City Academy of Arts, the Acting Department, and is now shooting commercials and working as a graphic model.

　　He said his real name, Ye Qingtang did not remember, only remembered the English name Vic.

　　Vic was very comfortable, and after chatting for a while, she asked her if she wanted to sing a song together, and she pushed that she was incomplete and let Vic sing it herself.

　　"I'll call you!" Ye Qingtang picked up the sand hammer on the side and shook it a few times.

　　Vic ordered Lin Dalang's "Still Miss You", worthy of being an art student, and his voice is indeed very outstanding.

　　Ye Qingtang applauded him, praising him for singing well and not inferior to the original song, and then ordered two more songs for him.

　　While he was singing well, Ye Qingtang quickly hid next to Han Jun.

　　Han Jun smiled and said, "I remember that this is also your dish, right?" How to not talk about two sentences on the perfunctory. ”

　　Ye Qingtang did not answer his words, "I want to consult you on an emotional issue." ”

　　Han Jun immediately sat up straight, "Can you still have a day when you ask me to consult emotional problems?" ”

　　"Listen or not?"

　　"Listen, listen, you say."

　　"I have a friend who has been in contact with people for several months, and suddenly found that the other party is just using him as a stand-in..."

　　"No, who would dare to use our cousin as a stand-in?" Han Jun had a posture of wanting to stand up for her at any time.

　　“...... I don't have a friend out of nowhere. It's really my friend, not me. ”

　　"Male or female?"

　　"Male friends."

　　"What do you want to ask?"

　　"Just... What would you think if this happened to you? ”

　　"The average person can't accept it." Han Jun said, "Especially men..."

　　Ye Qingtang glanced at him.

　　Han Jun smiled and said, "After listening to me, I don't intend to make gender stereotyped remarks. I mean, especially men, are even more so in terms of fragile self-esteem.

　　"Meaning, you won't forgive?"

　　"I don't know about others, but I certainly can't let go of it." Although my conditions are not good, but I think it is not bad, as a result, in fact, how the conditions are not important at all, because in the eyes of others is a high imitation, who can stand it. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was silent.

　　Han Jun continued, "Persuade your male friend to put it down." After putting up with it for a while, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to calm down later. It hurts longer than it hurts. ”

　　Ye Qingtang picked up the beer can and took a sip, "You talk a lot." ”

　　“...... Big Miss, it was you who consulted me and blamed me for talking too much. ”

　　At this time, Vic, who was singing, turned his head to look at it, and Ye Qingtang immediately smiled and raised his sand hammer and shook it perfunctorily.

　　Han Jun smiled, "You can't look at any of these things, right?" When did the vision become so high. ”

　　"Where high. It's your poor vision. This is all vulgar powder. ”

　　"Vulgar powder? Singing now, this dude, will go to the draft next year, and the agency directly bought the debut position. ”

　　"Collapsed before I made my debut, disgusting."

　　“……”

　　Ye Qingtang took the canned beer and sat in the corner, drinking silently, no longer paying attention to anyone.

　　-

　　Due to the extraordinary success of the fourth edition of the book fair, several media outlets have made comprehensive reports, and some publishing houses have begun to consult when the next edition will be held.

　　The fifth edition will be held in January, and although there is still nearly half a year to go, preparations for the preliminary work will begin.

　　The venue was the first to be fixed.

　　The No. 1 exhibition hall of Dingnancheng Art Museum is very large and can meet the needs of book fair expansion.

　　Since then, Ye Qingtang has put the cultural and creative products that he has been conceiving before on the agenda, contacted the factory, signed a long-term cooperation agreement, and first mass-produced several products that sold well at the previous exhibition and made new ones in the online store.

　　One trivial thing after another is busy, and before you know it, summer has passed.

　　Lin Muyong's wedding, Ye Qingtang did not go.

　　Outsiders generally call him Linton, but when Ye Qingtang first met him, he reported that it was this name that he reported to his family, and she always called him by his original name, a habit of following the rules.

　　She sent Lin Muyong and Sienna a new wedding gift, tea leaves from her tea garden and an exquisite set of tea sets. She wasn't sure if the tea set she had sent across Haiti would shatter, but after Lin Muyong received it, she sent an email telling her she was unscathed.

　　Because "The Cuckoo Bell" was sold out directly at the book fair, Ye Qingtang asked Lin Muyong to contact the publishing house, mailed some over, and hung them in the studio's online store for sale.

　　-

　　September 20 is Wu Qingshu's birthday.

　　Ye Qingtang accompanied her shopping in Nancheng Tianjie, and accidentally met Sun Miao in the milk tea shop, and she and Yao Hui carried MUJI's shopping bag in her hand.

　　Ye Qingtang was ordering on his mobile phone, so he directly helped the two of them to order it.

　　The four of them found a seat and sat down in line.

　　Ye Qingtang asked how the progress of his tea culture museum was.

　　Sun Miao said: "The construction drawing design documents have been submitted to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau for review and filing. ”

　　"Meaning you have to wait?"

　　Sun Miao smiled and said, "Yes." There is no way to do this, and the construction permit should be able to come down before the end of the year. But there is still a lot of preparation before the start of construction, and the real start of construction may not be until the beginning of next year. ”

　　"You've all worked hard."

　　"Yao Hui and I are fine, we are more of ancillary work, the core is done by Teacher Ying." We spent almost all of the last month working overtime to discuss the design plan, and every time we left, Teacher Ying himself would stay in the studio until the early hours of the morning. ”

　　When Ye Qingtang crossed the street earlier, he was stuffed with a poster of a hot pot restaurant, and his mood was confused between his words, and he unconsciously rolled up a corner of it.

　　She smiled and said, "... I asked my dad to invite you to dinner. ”

　　Sun Miao smiled and said, "Then we will have to wait until Teacher Ying comes back." ”

　　Ye Qingtang paused, "The others are not in the South City?" ”

　　"Went to Singapore. There was a project to be started over there, and our other boss, Teacher Chu, was in charge of it. Teacher Chu seemed to have something going on at home, and Teacher Ying asked himself to help. ”

　　"That's it. ...... Will it be going for a long time? ”

　　"At least two or three months." Sun Miao thought that she was worried that no one would take care of her own project, and quickly added, "The projects on your tea garden side, some follow-up coordination work, will be temporarily managed by Teacher Chu." Rest assured, Teacher Chu's professional ability and Teacher Ying are not different. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "Hmm. Then I will be relieved. ”

　　After a while, the milk tea was ready, and after a little chat, Sun Miao and Yao Hui wanted to go to the movie, so they parted ways with them.

　　Ye Qingtang took Wu Qingshu by the arm, entered the commercial building, and walked towards the escalator.

　　Wu Qingshu suddenly stopped.

　　Ye Qingtang was also taken away and returned to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”

　　Wu Qingshu stared at her, "You just said a bunch of things in a roundabout way, just to inquire about the latest situation of Ying Ruji?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang did not make a sound, biting the straw and sucking on a sip of milk tea.

　　"Aren't you all getting together and dispersing?"

　　Ye Qingtang looked down and said softly, "I just think I might owe him an apology." ”

　　-

　　Since November, everything has been busy again.

　　But with the experience of previous sessions, everything is busy and not chaotic.

　　Ye Qingtang left the studio after lunch, took a taxi, and took the opportunity to meet an editor in a publishing building.

　　There is a collection of images by a Finnish-American photographer that sells well in the studio's online store.

　　The photographer authorized Ye Qingtang to act as an agent and asked her to help inquire about the introduction of Chinese copyrights.

　　Ye Qingtang sent a message in the circle of friends, and several editors extended olive branches.

　　The editor who met today is from a senior publishing house, which does more printed materials such as photographic albums and albums, and the channels are relatively stable, but the quotation is not ideal.

　　This is also the purpose of Ye Qingtang's meeting today, hoping that the other party can increase some royalties or first seals.

　　There is a Costa on the first floor of the Publishing Building, and the two are here.

　　After the meeting, we had a good conversation until half past five.

　　The editor said that he would report to the leader, try to raise the offer, and then tell her the results later.

　　Because there was still something to finish, the editor took the elevator upstairs to continue his work.

　　Ye Qingtang left the coffee shop and walked to the gate, only to find that it was just the right time to feel that it was dark not because it was dark, but because it was raining.

　　During rush hour, the steps of the building were crowded with people.

　　Ye Qingtang regretted that he didn't drive himself when he went out today.

　　She opened the taxi app and took a look, and sure enough, there were fifty or sixty people in line.

　　A search map shows that there is a subway station a few hundred meters away.

　　Without hesitation, she lifted the bag above her head and rushed into the rain.

　　The street lights were already on, and the pavement was wet and glowing.

　　The cold rain at the end of November poured down, quickly taking away the temperature of the surface of her body, and when the wind blew, she only felt that her teeth were trembling.

　　"Miss Ye!"

　　I overheard a female voice.

　　Ye Qingtang stopped and looked back.

　　A woman in a gray suit, holding a black umbrella, was walking quickly toward her.

　　Ye Qingtang was surprised, "Miss Shen? ”

　　Shen Fei stopped in front of her, smiled and handed her the umbrella, "Just passing by here." Ying Always saw you and asked me to bring you an umbrella. ”

　　"He's back in The South City?" Ye Qingtang blurted out.

　　"Yes, I came back last week."

　　Ye Qingtang's gaze crossed Shen Fei's shoulder and looked behind her.

　　A black SUV was parked on the side of the road, with double flashing lights. It wasn't supposed to be a private car, maybe it was their firm's bus.

　　The white rain fog was so low that she could barely see the driver in the driver's seat.

　　Should it be sent in the back seat?

　　Shen Fei handed the handle of the umbrella forward again, and Ye Qingtang suddenly returned to his senses and asked with a smile, "But how do I return it to him?" ”

　　"Ying always said that the umbrella is not expensive, so I will give it to Miss Ye and do not have to return it."

　　Ye Qingtang was silent for a moment, smiled and declined, "Please help me thank Teacher Ying, I will soon arrive at the subway entrance, anyway, it is already wet, it does not make much sense to fight, and it is also cumbersome to hold." ”

　　Shen Fei smiled and said, "If Miss Ye doesn't accept it, it will be difficult for me to make a difference." Just an umbrella, you're welcome. ”

　　After a moment of stalemate, Ye Qingtang still reached out and took it.

　　Shen Fei completed the task, and did not say much, turned around and returned to the rain, walked quickly to the side of the car, and pulled open the co-driver's door.

　　Ye Qingtang held up his umbrella and stood facing the direction where the car was parked, without moving.

　　The car didn't move either.

　　The sky was dark and the rain was heavy.

　　Only the double flashing lights jumped at once, mechanical, boring, like the ticking second hand on the dial.

　　Finally, the car started.

　　Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, Ye Qingtang turned his back suddenly.

　　She didn't want to rub shoulders with people in the back seat.

　　She didn't like the feeling.

　　Holding up his umbrella, he buried his head and walked quickly toward the subway entrance.

Chapter 21 -21- I seem to want to see you a little

　　The temperature of the subway car makes the clothes on the body half dry and not wet, sticking to the body, like a spider web that can't be whisked away.

　　When the rain did not stop when leaving the station, Ye Qingtang was too lazy to open an umbrella again, so he walked all the way back to the door of the community.

　　Enter the house and put the long-handled umbrella in the corner by the door. A small puddle of water slowly filled the ground.

　　She took off her wet clothes, threw them casually on the couch, and went into the bathroom.

　　When the hot water poured down, she instead gave a shiver.

　　After taking a bath, Ye Qingtang sent a WeChat message to Wu Qingshu and asked her if she had returned home.

　　Wu Qingshu said that she had arrived home and asked her what was wrong.

　　Ye Qingtang: It's all right, I wanted you to help me bring this book.

　　She dropped her phone and collapsed on the couch.

　　She didn't want to be alone, she wanted to talk to people, but she really called Qingshu over, and she didn't know what to say.

　　She couldn't think straight.

　　It was a mess, and she wanted to find the head to smooth it out little by little, but the crux of the problem was that she couldn't find the head at all.

　　She didn't like the feeling, she didn't like the slimy, she didn't like the confusion.

　　She propped herself up, and the probe reached for the phone again.

　　And the dialog box that should be sent, I don't know how much sinking to the back, I haven't turned it over for half a day, I can only search directly from the address book.

　　The head of Ying Ruyu was a black cat, the kind of black cat whose whole body was pitch black and could not even be found by his eyes.

　　She once casually asked if it was an online picture, and he said that it was raised by his grandfather's family, an old cat that was ten years old.

　　She said she had never seen anything like this in reality, and he said he had the opportunity to take her to see the "real thing."

　　This topic is not followed, it seems that she was attracted to some other content at that time to change the topic, and it seems to be a subconscious avoidance behavior, not wanting to understand his preferences, his heart.

　　Like she doesn't want to know about his "dream love room";

　　Why is his song list full of ultra-unpopular songs with less than 1,000 comments from NetEase Cloud;

　　Why did he start smoking and why did he quit;

　　His license plate number Y3668, Y represents his last name;

　　He is so considerate, whether it is a parenting or a lot of women;

　　His friends, who sold clothes and flowers, were women, ordinary friends, or had they been his gun friends in the past;

　　What happened to his parents led him to be wary of love and marital relationships;

　　……

　　She had the opportunity to ask, but she didn't.

　　The last conversation with Ying Ruji was a long time ago, on the day he went to pick her up with the cut watermelon.

　　That's when he said, I've arrived.

　　She replied, OK, come out right away~

　　The finger stayed on the input box for a long time, and finally did not type a word, and directly pressed the key to the screen.

　　-

　　Chu Yu and his girlfriend Jenny chose to get engaged on December 21, the anniversary of their five years of love.

　　After a small ceremony in which only relatives and friends participate, a few friends of many years find another place to drink and chat in the evening.

　　There is a section of road in the middle of the mountain, along which are cafes, restaurants and taverns, formed by the South City's Mountain Drag Racing Party. At night, porsche, LOTUS, Ferrari sports cars on the side of the road, or motorcycles in Kawasaki and Augusta.

　　The tavern where they were sent a drink was renovated like a motel in a Western, with a bounty poster plastered on the outside wall and a theme song for "Red Dead Redemption 2" playing on the stereo.

　　A friend asked Chu Yu and Jenny when their wedding date was scheduled.

　　Jenny is of mixed race, her father is an Englishman who started a family in China, she and her mother's surname, the name on the ID card is Jian Xue, but at home her parents call her English name, and friends also think that Jenny is more catchy than Jane Xue.

　　She has just returned from her PhD and received an offer of employment from Nancheng University, and will go to teach in the new semester.

　　Jenny is the kind of girl who has a strong book aroma, and when she doesn't laugh, she is a little unapproachable, but she has two dimples when she laughs. Some friends said that she was a bit like Liu Wen, and for a while it was also popular to call her little cousin, and she herself made it clear that she did not like this nickname, and everyone gave up.

　　At this time, Chu Yu took up the question: "Don't urge marriage, coax her to get engaged to me, I don't know how much work it took me, and I urged people to go abroad to study for another doctorate." ”

　　Jenny smiled, "I have it!" ”

　　Chu Yu raised his chin and gestured to the opposite side: "I want to urge this person." ”

　　Ying Ru sat lazily on his stilted legs, only drinking, when he lifted his eyes and smiled, saying, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

　　Jenny said: "Lawrence still doesn't have a little situation? ”

　　This English name should be sent back to China almost no use, people around him called him a teacher, more workers.

　　Chu Yu did not hesitate to reveal the old bottom that should be sent, "In the summer, he was still ready to confess to a girl, and then there was no follow-up." For this, he also went to Singapore to heal his wounds. ”

　　"Chu Zong crossed the river and demolished the bridge." Ying Ruyu just smiled lightly, without a too strong expression, "You don't know who I am going for?" ”

　　"Sending a deputy-level director can be competent, and you can still fail you by recommending myself?"

　　Jenny wondered, "Which girl?" In our circle? ”

　　Chu Yu said, "You have to ask him about this yourself, you should always be strict and can't pry it open, I still don't know who is sacred anyway." ”

　　With that said, Jenny was embarrassed to ask.

　　They are all old friends who know the roots, talk about everything in a measured way, share industry anecdotes and circle of friends gossip, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

　　Halfway through, YingRu sent a trip to the bathroom, and when he returned, a strange woman at the bar came up to him and stopped him.

　　The woman laughed and said, "Can I ask you for a drink?" ”

　　Ying Ru gestured to the booth and smiled politely, saying, "I'm with my friends." ”

　　"I know, I mean, when you're done, I'll invite you alone for a drink."

　　"Sorry." There is no room for further temptation and discussion in the polite tone.

　　The woman smiled and stepped back slightly frustrated.

　　Ying Ru sent it back to his seat, and Chu Yu laughed again and said, "People are very good-looking, why don't you bring a drink together?" ”

　　Ying Ru said: "You think it looks good, you go to invite?" ”

　　Jenny laughed and said, "It seems that Lawrence's 'scumbag face' is undiminished." ”

　　Ying Ru sent half a joke and half seriously: "The next time who invites me to drink coffee during the day, I will definitely agree." ”

　　After eleven o'clock, everyone was half drunk and ready to disperse.

　　Pushing open the door of the tavern, the cold wind was blowing.

　　Chu Yu put his arms around Jenny to shield her from the wind while asking, "Take my car back?" ”

　　Ying Ru said: "I call myself a substitute driver, otherwise the car will have to find time to pick it up again." ”

　　Chu Yu pulled open the car door, and Jenny waved his hand freely, "Bye bye." Go to our house for dinner on Christmas Eve. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and nodded.

　　When Chu Yu's car drove away, Ying Ruji turned around and went to the side of 711 to buy a bottle of water.

　　I came out with a water bottle, walked to the parking place, looked up, and paused.

　　An unexpected person stood next to the car, bending slightly, close to the window to look inside.

　　She wore a dress, a loose coat that looked like rabbit wool, unbuttoned, and just open. The fluffy hair blocked the side of the face, but even if it was not clear, it would not be mistaken.

　　Ye Qingtang raised his hand and wiped away the mist that was breathing on the window glass.

　　Mercedes-Benz Big G, license plate number South AY3668.

　　This is the car that should be sent, but others are not in it.

　　"What are you doing?"

　　The sound of snow particles cooling was coming from behind itself.

　　Ye Qingtang paused for a moment, looked back, a little bit of a false focus of sight, the face of the person in front of him did not have the slightest expression, and the black coat set him out of the cold of the cold night.

　　The excess alcohol made Ye Qingtang's brain turn very slowly, and she tilted her head and smiled a little, "So you are here?" ”

　　"I asked you what you were doing here." The sound should be sent as there is no half-temperature.

　　"I'm looking for you."

　　Ying Ru frowned, fingers folded, plastic bottles made a slight sound, "What do you want me to do?" ”

　　The person in front of him may be very drunk, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes have never been focused, so when her eyes fall on him, he feels that she is not looking at him.

　　"Are you going back?" The alcohol also affected her language center, and the words were very vague, and the tone of her voice was like the handwriting of a pen wet with water, dragging out a damp and soft ending.

　　Should be sent as sent without speaking.

　　“...... Can I take your car? I've been calling for a ride for half a day, and no one seems to answer. Ye Qingtang took a step closer and lit up the mobile phone screen to show him.

　　Should be sent to unconsciously glance down at a glance, the interface selected the destination, but did not click to start calling a car, can call to the strange.

　　Ying Ru said in a flat voice, "I'll help you get a car." ”

　　He took out his mobile phone, opened the taxi software, entered "Guanlan Apartment", just ready to click to confirm, suddenly felt that the warm aroma mixed with the smell of alcohol, and then a few points stronger.

　　Ye Qingtang took another step closer, "Thank you." You are so nice, how should I thank you? ”

　　"No, just a show of hands."

　　Hold your breath as if you were sending it, and the tight corners of your lips should be slightly downward.

　　He took a step back, and at the same time, Ye Qingtang was already tiptoeing, and both arms were on his shoulders.

　　She leaned her head closer, her drunken eyes covered with a mist of water.

　　He had seen her like this many times in the darkness, while she was awake and falling.

　　She herself did not know that such a gaze would make people want to bully.

　　Ying Ruyu suddenly returned to her senses and reached out to push her away.

　　He didn't control the force, she toe a little, stood still, looked at him a little dazed, a little aggrieved under her eyes.

　　Ying Ruyu took a deep breath, "You are drunk. ”

　　She stopped talking, just looked at him.

　　Cars whizzed by on the road, but they were dragged into a long silence.

　　The smirk on Ye Qingtang's face that had been spurred by the alcohol faded, as if this toe made her frightened and sober for a few minutes.

　　She just looked at him, and the voice was damper, like the last time he sat in the shadows of the back seat and watched her back on a rainy day.

　　"I kind of want to see you." She said. As if thinking about it for a long time, each one bit down lightly and slowly.

　　Ying Ruyu raised his hand, lightly pressed the corner of his forehead, and sighed halfway: "Let me go." ”

　　Ye Qingtang on the other side showed a confused look.

　　“...... I can't afford to play. ”

　　He wasn't a playmaker.

　　Pretend to be a master of entering and lose a fine light.

　　Who's to blame.

　　Ye Qingtang pulled on the chain bag that slipped down his shoulder, his mind was still spinning very slowly, and everything in his mind was slowly spinning.

　　The temples are swollen and slightly throbbing.

　　The hazy white light in front of her eyes somewhat obscured her vision, and the dizziness and pain made her want to throw up a little.

　　She didn't say anything more, took another step back, turned around, and walked slowly toward the street lamp on the side.

　　Leaning back against a street lamppost, she lit her phone again to see if anyone had taken her order.

　　That interface is stationary.

　　She sighed, gave up, and slipped the phone into her coat pocket.

　　For a moment, she saw a yellow car driving in the distance, thinking it was a uniformly painted taxi, and she stretched out her hand.

　　When the car approached, I fixed my eyes on it and found that it was a sports car.

　　She withdrew her hand, but the car pulled over and stopped.

　　The window fell, and the strange man in the driver's seat whistled, "Where to go?" Take you for a ride? ”

　　Ye Qingtang shook his head, "I read it wrong. ”

　　"Didn't you stop me?" Want to get away with it? The man smiled, pulled open the driver's seat door and came down.

　　As the man approached, he lit a cigarette, fixed it in front of her, and handed it over, "Smoke?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang furrowed his brows, "I said I was wrong, can you please stop bothering me?" ”

　　The man laughed, "The temper is still quite big." Isn't it cold to stand here on a cold day? I'll take you down the hill to find a warm place. ”

　　He held out his hand.

　　Ye Qingtang threw herself back violently, suddenly feeling that the light was dimmed, and in the next instant, a hand grabbed her arm from the side and gently pulled it to the side.

　　Ye Qingtang turned back in shock.

　　The eyes in the backlight were dark and unfathomable.

　　He didn't say a word, just dragged her toward where he parked.

　　Ye Qingtang didn't resist at all, and followed him one foot deep and one foot shallow.

　　They returned to where they had just spoken.

　　Ying Ru sent a voice: "Miss Ye's safety awareness is really good." ”

　　Ironic tone, mixed with a little anger.

　　“...... You can leave me alone. Ye Qingtang reacted for a moment before saying.

　　Familiar words, familiar radical methods.

　　Ying Ru looked at her and took a deep breath.

　　Ye Qingtang went to open the chain bag to find a mobile phone, planning to call someone to pick her up.

　　I touched it for a long time, but I didn't touch it.

　　She forgot that the phone was in her pocket, thinking it was lost, so she turned around and prepared to go back to the street lamp to look for it.

　　As soon as I took a step, my wrist was grabbed and slammed back.

　　The force pushed her back, her back against the car door.

　　During the movements, the coat slipped off her shoulders, and she had to reach out and pull it.

　　And this hand was also grasped by Ying Ru.

　　He took another step and imprisoned her in an extremely awkward position.

　　The hand that grabbed her and pressed it to her shoulder paused and slid down, but it went to her neck.

　　She felt him pick up the necklace pendant she was wearing, and her fingers touched the skin of her collarbone, cold as snow.

　　You should look down at the emerald in the shape of an eye between your fingers.

　　For a long time, he slowly raised his eyes, his eyes fell on her face, raised his hand, and together with the jewel, pinched her chin.

　　Ye Qingtang was slightly dull pained by the strength of his fingers and the cutting surface of the gem.

　　She was forced to look at him on her back.

　　The original amber eyes were dyed a deeper color, like the dark lake in the night.

　　She was frozen by this gaze, and her eyes were unconsciously blurred.

　　"Who am I?" He asked in a dumb voice.

　　"You are..."

　　As if he didn't want to hear her answer, he lowered his head, holding a bitter cold breath, and the shadows enveloped her entire vision.

　　He bit her lip and swallowed all the sounds.

Chapter 22 -22 - Can You Warm Me Up?

　　-22-

　　There was a prickly pain in her lips, a smell of rust in her mouth, Ye Qingtang struggled, maybe it was the dizziness of alcohol, she seemed to be falling, she was desperate to hold him.

　　Perhaps Ying Ruyu misunderstood her meaning of struggling, but only clasped her hand tighter.

　　Soon she was unable to breathe, like sinking to the bottom of a lake, and the water rushed from all directions to cover her nose. But she was willing to give up resistance.

　　Finally, Ying Ruyu let go of his hand and stepped back slightly, but did not let go of her, and one arm wrapped around her waist, and he took her forward, and after making enough space, he pulled open the car door with his other hand.

　　He pushed her into the car, and she involuntarily stepped on the pedal and bent down into the car.

　　Ying Ru did not immediately follow the car, but slammed the door with a "bang".

　　Overcoming the swirling feeling of vertigo, she leaned over and looked out.

　　There was a substitute driver wandering around the neighborhood, and Ying Ruyu randomly found the closest one to the car, and in a moment, he led the substitute driver over.

　　Ying Ru ji opened the door of the back seat, and the moment he came up, the whole space was enveloped by the winter atmosphere.

　　The car started, Ye Qingtang was dizzy again, she tried to open her eyes, her vision was still foggy.

　　She leaned over to the person next to her, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, and she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck.

　　Ying Ruyu sat frozen and did not hug her back, but did not push her away.

　　It all seemed to happen in a half-dream, half-awake.

　　Ye Qingtang forgot when the car arrived at Ying Ru's residence, and how she got upstairs, only to feel that the glare in the elevator was extremely dazzling.

　　Her feet were cold in the barrel of her boots, but the surface of her body had the same heat as charred, and the feeling of cold and hot made her very uncomfortable.

　　When Ying Ru pressed the fingerprint lock, Ye Qingtang hung on him like a piece of humanoid plasticine, falling all the way down, and his arm went through her armpit, hugged her upwards, and pushed into the door.

　　"Take off your shoes." He reminded.

　　Fortunately, she was not too drunk to carry out such a command, paused, bent down to untie the laces on the boots, and the small bag hanging on the crook of her arm slid all the way down, and the "snap" fell directly to the ground.

　　She bent down deep to pick up her bag, but her figure flickered and she fell directly to the ground.

　　Ying Ruyu stood in front of her, looking at her condescendingly, not moving, not ready to shoot.

　　She sat on the floor for a moment, bent her legs, pulled open the knot of her left boot, and took off her heel.

　　When I untied my right foot and pulled my boots down, I seemed to be stuck, tried a few times, and still didn't move.

　　She looked up at him in frustration, her eyelashes like a tuft of wet goose down in the pale yellow light of the foyer, obviously so embarrassed, but her face only made people feel pity.

　　"It should be sent as..."

　　"It should be sent as such." She said, "You help me..."

　　After a while, Ying Ru finally took a step forward and crouched down in front of her.

　　He grabbed her right foot, but she leaned forward and put her arms around his neck.

　　"How can I help you with this?"

　　He didn't break away from her, his fingers tugging at the laces, loosening them row by row, and then holding the heels with one hand and her calves with the other, pulling the boots down.

　　In such a cold weather, she only wore a pair of stockings that were not thick in her dress, and the place where her palm touched was cold.

　　Ying Ru grabbed her two arms wrapped around the back of her neck and dragged her up.

　　She wouldn't move.

　　"Just sit on the floor like this, isn't it cold?"

　　"Cold..." She looked up at him, her face only lightly made up, her nose glowing with frozen red, but her cheeks were burning, and he could even feel the heat emanating from her skin.

　　“...... Can you warm me up? She said.

　　Ying Ru's hands clasped her arms, and after a moment, they slowly fell down and landed on her side, and in one fell swoop, they wrapped their arms around her waist and lifted her up.

　　Like a tide overturning a boat, it was not only she who capsized.

　　Ying Ru only felt that at this moment, the wine came up, burning him with anger and anxiety.

　　He threw Ye Qingtang on the bed, and the action of "falling" was not ambiguous.

　　The mattress was soft and she wouldn't get hurt, but it still scared her.

　　She looked sluggish for a moment, her eyes hard to focus, landed on his face, and the next second, she reached out and grabbed his collar, her legs lifted, directly wrapped around his waist.

　　Like walking in a sea of scorched fire, consciousness and thought evaporate to the point where instinct takes over all actions.

　　Even so, Ye Qingtang could still sense the anger that was tinged with disciplinary implications in every action of Ying Ruji, which was completely different from his previous style.

　　Alcohol also paralyzes the pain nerves.

　　Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt the constriction of her heart in the last moment, but only instinctively gushed out tears.

　　Ying Ruyu lay down, his arms folded behind Ye Qingtang's back, tightly straining.

　　He buried his face in her shoulder and neck, and breathed deeply as if forcefully, as if sighing, sniffing the breath of her body.

　　He had quit smoking before, and it wasn't a one-time success.

　　The first time I quit until three months, I relapsed once.

　　The long-term withdrawal reaction, the tight-willed patience, at the moment of inhaling nicotine, is like a mountain collapse.

　　He couldn't tell how awkward it was, as if he wanted to make up for what was lacking during the abstinence period, and make up for it at once, to relapse that time, pumping more fiercely than before.

　　While enjoying, on the other hand, a deep sense of self-loathing arises.

　　While hating his weak willpower, there was a voice constantly deceiving: What's the big deal about smoking a cigarette?

　　The mood at this moment is almost the same as at that time.

　　Just more painful.

　　And how painful it is, how obsessed it is.

　　-

　　Tingling, dull pain, throbbing... The moment Ye Qingtang opened her eyes, she felt that there were so many different pain methods that happened to her at the same time.

　　As she propped her head up, the pain of the nerves made her "hiss" uncontrollably.

　　Thoughts are broken, and they can't continue for a while.

　　She smelled a slightly sour smell of wine, looked around, and realized that this was the bedroom that should be sent, but it was not in the room.

　　Everything that happened last night slowly returned.

　　She slowly got up, did not look for slippers by the bed, had to go barefoot, bent down to pick up the thin blanket on the ground and wrapped it around her, and walked out of the room.

　　"Should I send it?"

　　In the foyer, the crooked boots were neatly arranged side by side.

　　The house was empty, and there was no sign of it.

　　-

　　Should be sent to the meeting as in.

　　At Monday's regular meeting, the heads of each group report on the progress of the project in hand.

　　Holding his smouldering head on the back of his hand, he reached for the coffee cup and remembered that the cup was empty.

　　The phone screen lights up.

　　Ying Ru glanced at it, and there was an extra WeChat message in the notification bar.

　　Raising his hand to scratch open, it was sent by Ye Qingtang: when you left, the washing machine was already running, and I helped you put your clothes into the dryer.

　　He had just finished reading it, and the second one came back: I'm going to the studio.

　　Should be sent as if there is no reply.

　　After the meeting, everyone went to work in their respective positions.

　　Shen Fei took a stack of documents and should check and sign them one by one.

　　The headache upset him, and he made a design drawing to the computer for a while, couldn't bear it, and took his coat and went out.

　　Shen Fei, who was sitting at the workstation directly opposite the office, immediately got up, and should say that it was okay, and he went down to walk.

　　Outside the cold wind gusts, should be sent to the door of starbucks, paused, headache like a vacuum compressor sucked away all oxygen, he thought that it was still late spring, the man was here to drop the car window, ask him, do you want to coax you.

　　Ying Ru sent it in to buy a glass of ice American, and stayed outside for a long time before returning to the office.

　　He pulled his phone out of his pocket and found new news.

　　Ye Qingtang: I'm sorry to ask... Did you wear a condom last night?

　　It should be like sending a shock.

　　Half-dazed, chagrin typed reply: No. I'm sorry...... I drank too much last night.

　　Ye Qingtang: It's all right. Wait until I go shopping for medicine.

　　Ying Ruyu was upset almost all day, but all kinds of trivial matters involved him, so that he could not be idle.

　　Until he was about to leave work, he finally made time and sent a message to Ye Qingtang: Are you off work?

　　There quickly replied: No, in the South City Art Museum, today should be busy until very late.

　　Ying Ru originally wanted to talk to her, so it was not good to disturb her for the time being.

　　When I came home at night, the dryer program had long since stopped.

　　He took his clothes from the inside and hung them back in the cloakroom. I took off my clothes and prepared to take a shower first.

　　As I went to the bathroom, I glanced at the bed.

　　Only then did I realize that the sheets, covers, and pillowcases on it had all been removed.

　　He went back to the balcony to take a look, and sure enough, it was all in the washing machine, already washed.

　　The next day, you should send yourself a social, after the end of the tired do not have time to think more, go home directly, wash up and then sleep at the end.

　　By the third day, it was clear that it could not be delayed any longer.

　　At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Ying Ru sent a WeChat message to Ye Qingtang and asked her: Still in the art museum?

　　Ye Qingtang: No. In the studio. The body is a little uncomfortable, and my friend is in charge of the venue today.

　　Should be sent as: What's wrong?

　　After a while, Ye Qingtang replied: I seem to be bleeding a little.

　　Ying Ruji's face was calm, thinking of Ye Qingtang's act of washing off the sheets, the memory of that night was too chaotic, and he couldn't remember whether he had hurt her.

　　For a moment, ask directly: Is it because I caused it?

　　Ye Qingtang: No.

　　Ye Qingtang: That medicine, I checked it, and there will be withdrawal bleeding after eating it, saying that it is normal and fine.

　　Ye Qingtang wore woolen slippers on her feet, her legs were covered with a fleece blanket, and under the fleece blanket was a hand warmer, and the mug on the corner of the table was steaming, which was the red date tea she had brewed for herself.

　　The computer opened the excel form, and she was updating the arrival of the exhibits.

　　Glancing at the icon of the WeChat on the desktop below, click to take a look, there are new messages, but they should not be sent as they should be.

　　She wanted to talk to Ying Ru yesterday, but his departure without greeting the morning before yesterday and the reply later, "I drank too much last night," can already explain a lot.

　　Today, I re-imagined this plan, but it turned out that the bleeding situation disrupted the plan, and the whole person was a little frightened. She took emergency contraception for the first time, for some reason, searched on the Internet, and found an online doctor to consult, saying that it was generally fine, in a few days it would be fine, remember to observe, if the situation is not good after a few days, you have to go to the doctor.

　　At about half past four, Lu Mao returned to the office.

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head and looked over, "It's over there?" ”

　　"No, it's not. There was a stack of posters that I forgot to bring, and Qingshu asked me to come back and get it. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "You have the ability to call her Qingshu in person." ”

　　"Don't dare, don't dare."

　　Lu Mao went to look for Wu Qingshu's workstation, but did not find it, saying that it was a large black cloth bag, and asked Ye Qingtang if he saw it.

　　"I'm looking." Ye Qingtang took away the hand warmer and the fleece blanket and got up, looked around, found it near the printer, and called Lu Mao to confirm it.

　　"That's it."

　　Lu Mao hung up the badge and lifted the bag, "I'm back at the exhibition hall." ”

　　"Well, don't be too busy too late." Ye Qingtang said.

　　"Rest assured, I'll send her home."

　　“……”

　　Lu Mao walked to the door, pressed the button, and the electric glass door opened.

　　He was about to go out when he saw a man coming out of the elevator.

　　The man glanced at the sign on the wall, then turned and walked in the direction of the studio.

　　After only one step, I stopped.

　　Lu Mao: "... elder brother? ”

　　The opposite ying ru looked at him, and there were two points of surprise, "Is your boss here?" ”

　　"Which boss?"

　　"Ye Qingtang."

　　"In."

　　Should be sent as a nod.

　　Lu Mao held the door and waited for him to come over, "Are you looking for Sister Tang?" ”

　　"Hmm."

　　Ying Ru sent in the door, Lu Mao returned with great sense of master, and shouted at Ye Qingtang's workstation, "Sister Tang, someone is looking for you." ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned the chair, turned around and looked over, momentarily stunned.

　　You should be wearing a gray turtleneck sweater with a black coat, and the whole person has a kind of cold mountain negative snow.

　　He walked straight over and stood at the table, looking down at her, his tone too flat to hear the emotion, "Go." ”

　　“...... Where to? ”

　　"The private hospital has asked a doctor to take you to see."

　　"It's all right, two days off..."

　　"Otherwise I wouldn't be able to rest assured." She should be interrupted.

　　Ye Qingtang was silent for a moment.

　　Lu Mao's eyes widened.

　　From the tone to the look, these two people did not look like ordinary friends.

　　But he has been practicing here intermittently for more than half a year, and he is completely unaware of it?

　　Ye Qingtang did not argue with Ying Ruyu, although she felt that she had made a big fuss.

　　She saved the file, turned off the computer, and threw it in her tote bag.

　　I took off the hairy slippers and changed into boots.

　　Should be sent as sent out of the hand.

　　Ye Qingtang paused and handed him the bag containing the computer.

　　Lu Mao on the side was still digesting a huge amount of information.

　　Ying Ru glanced at him, "Where to go?" Take a ride by the way? ”

　　Lu Mao replied, "I drove my own car." ”

　　The three of them went downstairs together.

　　Lu Mao stood side by side next to him, and the action language was not intimate, and he was more and more confused, "Forgive me for taking the liberty... Are you in love? ”

　　"Nothing."

　　The two spoke in unison.

Chapter 23 -23 - What do you think of me?

　　You deny it enough. Lu Maoxin said.

　　Lu Mao's car and Ying Ruyu's car were not parked on the same floor, and when they reached the negative first floor, Lu Mao got out of the elevator first, and said "Happy Christmas Eve" to the two before leaving.

　　The elevator stopped on the minus second floor, and Ye Qingtang followed out half a step behind.

　　Should be sent to press the car key, not far away from the car to unlock the lights.

　　His footsteps suddenly stopped.

　　Ye Qingtang was unguarded and almost bumped into it.

　　Ying Ruyu turned his head and glanced at her faintly, "You said that the South Gate was recent, and told me to stop at the South Gate." But in fact, you can enter the underground garage from the west gate. ”

　　Ye Qingtang suddenly remembered this incident a long time ago, a little embarrassed that the trick was exposed.

　　I didn't say anything more.

　　When we got to the car, we opened the rear door and put our bags in the back seat.

　　He got into the driver's seat, and before the car started, he glanced at Ye Qingtang, who was wearing another white fur coat today, and on her legs was a pair of pants that seemed to be wool, and he remembered that she had said that she didn't like this delicate material that could not be machine washed. But fortunately, her body looks warm and reassuring.

　　The car drove out, and for a while no one spoke.

　　Two hosts on the radio, a man and a woman, were chatting about Christmas Eve, occasionally playing Niu Jie's "pension insurance" "All I want for Christmas is you".

　　Ye Qingtang spoke first, "You were in Singapore a few months ago?"

　　"Hmm."

　　"Is it over there?"

　　"For now." Ying Ru glanced at her, "... Who told you that. ”

　　"I've met Sun Miao."

　　If you don't send a comment, the topic doesn't continue.

　　After a while, Ying Ru said, "Why were you there that night?"

　　"I made an appointment with a friend to explore a new store, and a girl talked to him in the middle of the way, and he left first." This friend of heavy color and light friend is naturally Han Jun.

　　The topic was only talked about for one round, and then it was silent again.

　　Ying Yuguang looked at Ye Qingtang, she leaned slightly on the back of the chair, her legs were together, compared with the way she always had to take off her shoes and lean on them, it seemed a little too upright.

　　All the way to the hospital in silence.

　　The doctor was supposed to leave work at five o'clock, but because she had a relationship, she sat down in the outpatient department for a while.

　　The private hospital was small, and it had already passed the time of the outpatient clinic, and when Ye Qingtang arrived, there were only a few people in the whole corridor.

　　Ying Ruyu knocked on the open door, and the doctor raised his eyes, "Please come in." ”

　　Ye Qingtang walked in and sat down at the doctor's desk, while Ying Ruyu also walked in and sat on the sofa next to him.

　　The doctor asked for name, age, marriage or childbearing, and the time of the last menstrual period, and Ye Qingtang answered one by one.

　　"What's uncomfortable about it? When did you take your medication? ”

　　Ye Qingtang described the symptoms according to the facts.

　　While typing in the main complaint symptoms, the doctor said: "This is a hormone drug, and within 2 to 7 days after taking the drug, the level of progestin falls back, and there will be withdrawal bleeding." Go back to observe at any time, if the amount of bleeding is too large, or the bleeding has not stopped after 7 days, come to the hospital again. ”

　　The conclusion is almost the same as Ye Qingtang's online consultation.

　　The voice on the side should be sent: "Just need to observe? ”

　　The doctor looked up at him, "Just observe for the time being." She said while tapping the diagnosis results, "This drug is generally only taken in very urgent situations, which is very harmful to women's bodies, and the follow-up may lead to hormonal disorders and affect the normal menstrual cycle." If the two are not trying to conceive, they still have to pay attention to normal birth control measures. ”

　　Ye Qingtang bit his lip in embarrassment.

　　And Ying Ruyu's tone was very calm: "Yes." ”

　　The doctor printed out a copy of the diagnosis and handed it to Ye Qingtang.

　　YingRu sent it up, "Thank you." Delay you from work. ”

　　Leaving the doctor's office, Ye Qingtang's footsteps were fast.

　　Ying Ruyu followed her and did not catch up with her.

　　The car was parked in the outdoor parking lot, ye Qingtang got into the car and pulled out the seat belt buckle, only to feel that the embarrassing mood was slightly alleviated.

　　“...... Can you rest assured now? She asked softly.

　　Ying Ruyu shook his head, and the more he found a look of guilt on his face, "I'm sorry. I wasn't very sane that day. ”

　　"Don't apologize to me, I'm the one who should apologize."

　　It should be sent as a meal.

　　Just when Ye Qingtang was about to take a breath, the phone that Should Ru sent rang.

　　He glanced at it, and it was Jenny who had called.

　　When connected, the voice came directly from the car radio, "Lawrence, are you ready to come over?" What time is it? ”

　　The female voice is pleasant to the ear and has a gentle and calm texture.

　　Ye Qingtang silently tightened the diagnostic sheet in her hand, her lips slightly stretched into a line, and after a moment, she suddenly realized that Lawrence.

　　Ying Ru replied, "There is still something to do, and I should go over when I am finished." ”

　　The female voice laughed and said, "If it is convenient, can you help bring a bouquet of flowers by the way?" We forgot about buying during the day. ”

　　It should be sent as follows: "Yes." ”

　　"Hurry up, we're already roasting lemon pie."

　　The phone hangs up.

　　Ying Ru sent a start to the car while asking, "Send you back to your parents?" ”

　　"Let's go to Guanlan Apartment."

　　"Don't spend the holidays with your parents?"

　　"They went skiing in the northeast and stayed until New Year's Day."

　　Ying Ru sent a little deep groan, "What about your friend?" ”

　　"I don't know. Probably with Lu Mao—if he dared to invite. ”

　　"I mean, other friends."

　　Ye Qingtang heard that he should have sent the intention of this question, he was such a person of character, and not properly placing her was not in line with his principle of action.

　　Ye Qingtang said: "I want to stay alone for a while, and there is still work to be done." ”

　　"I thought you were party animal."

　　"I'm a Gemini—though you don't seem to believe in the metaphysics of constellations."

　　Ying Ruyu always seemed to be uneasy, and asked: "What do you eat at night?" ”

　　"I don't know, maybe order takeout..." Ye Qingtang became irritable uncontrollably, "Please, don't you care about me--don't you still have a date?" ”

　　Ying Ru sent a meal and glanced at Ye Qingtang.

　　She lowered her eyes, and a fluffy curl fell down to block the side of her face, making it impossible for him to see her expression.

　　Driving in the middle of the road, can not stop.

　　Until the red light of the intersection in front of the car, the car stopped behind the car in front of it, and should put its arms on the steering wheel, and turn its head to look at Ye Qingtang.

　　"Qingtang."

　　Ye Qingtang raised his head in response.

　　But there was really no expression on her face.

　　"It's ultimately my fault, and I can't leave it alone." It should be said in a deep voice.

　　Ye Qingtang did not respond.

　　Ying Ru sent her for a moment, noticed that the car in front of her began to move, then withdrew his gaze, stepped on the accelerator, and said lightly: "It was Chu Yu's fiancée who called." ”

　　Ye Qingtang finally spoke up, but in a very flat tone, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

　　Whether he really didn't care, or whether he became impatient because of his repeated questioning attitude, she should not be able to tell from her tone and expression alone.

　　Everything seems to be moving in a more chaotic and complex direction.

　　You should send a silent sigh, helpless for yourself.

　　He can only act on the sentiment of the highest priority: at least, he can't let her eat takeout alone under uncomfortable circumstances.

　　While waiting for the next red light, Ying Ru sent a message to Shen Fei.

　　After about ten minutes, Shen Fei called directly.

　　After connecting, Shen Fei reported: "Mr. Ying, today is a holiday, and the restaurants you mentioned have not been booked." ”

　　"Ranking?"

　　"It's all more than an hour and a half, at least."

　　"I see."

　　Ye Qingtang was a little grumpy.

　　For the first time, she found that she did not like Ying Ruji's thoughtfulness so much, and he made her the only handle that could take advantage of the opportunity to "be a blessing in disguise", and she became unable to play with the problem.

　　She raised her hand and rubbed her face, "Ying RuYu, have you ever thought about it, this is also my bitter meat plan, I deliberately told you that I can only eat takeaway alone on Christmas Eve, making you feel guilty, so that you can't let go of me - just like at that time I deliberately let you wait for me at the South Gate, I went to find you in the rain, so that you could be soft-hearted." ”

　　"Yes." No emotional response could be heard.

　　"Your soft heart will be used by me again and again. Have you ever thought that it was me who blamed myself, that I took the initiative to seduce you—that I wasn't so drunk, that everything I said that night was designed and purposeful. You should be angry, you should say I deserve..."

　　It's well deserved. But it wasn't her, it was himself.

　　You should think self-deprecatingly.

　　But he also didn't fully believe her words.

　　Turn the right turn light, change lanes twice at intervals, and park the car on the side of the road.

　　The shadows of the trees fell, and the carriage was dark and quiet.

　　After a long silence, Ying Ru asked: "You said that you kind of wanted to see me, and this sentence was also designed?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang tightened the corners of his mouth.

　　He didn't seem to have seen her expression like this, too complicated to describe, as if frustrated, as sad, but not only.

　　"No..." She took a soft breath, "I really want to see you." ”

　　"Yes." Ying Ruyu lowered the car window, put his arm on it, and the cold wind blew in, making his thoughts extremely calm, "What do you think of me?" ”

　　“...... I don't know. She replied, "I thought I was just trying to apologize to you, but it wasn't..."

　　"What's that—you should be able to think that I don't need your apology, it doesn't make sense to me."

　　Ye Qingtang was silent.

　　This is not a question that can be answered with words alone.

　　She reached out and pressed on the left side of her body, and the seat belt "clicked" and popped open.

　　Palms propped up and leaned toward him.

　　Hold your breath for a while.

　　She didn't want to kiss him, but leaned over, in a very awkward position, her forehead resting on his shoulder, one hand clutching the clothes on his chest tightly.

　　"Sorry, I didn't know your Initials were also L..."

　　You should feel only a suffocation.

　　He interrupted her straightly, his voice had never been so cold: "I am not interested in Miss Ye's love history." ”

　　Ye Qingtang paused.

　　If she didn't take this as a guide, she didn't know how to talk clearly, and the shadow was between them, not negligible.

　　Ye Qingtang's fingers slowly let go.

　　She was about to retreat, but Ying Ruyu had reached out and wrapped her arms around her waist.

　　"You haven't answered me yet."

　　In a situation where he was unable to retreat, Ye Qingtang had to word with difficulty: "... I think that when you gave me an umbrella that day, I should have rubbed your car directly without reason; when I wanted to give the model to Shen Fei, I should follow her to see if you were behind the scenes; I also wanted to ask you, why do you want to give me model data, whether you are not so public and private, whether you will die. I am... Would love to see you..."

　　In the darkness, her voice was tasteful, sweet and bitter, like a poison that could not be rejected.

　　Ying Ru bowed her head, her lips close to the corner of her forehead, and slowly went down.

　　He found the source of her voice in the darkness, paused, and kissed it heavily.

　　That painful feeling grabbed him again.

　　He never knew that his self-esteem and willpower were worthless.

Chapter 24 -24 - Do you hate me?

　　-24-

　　Ye Qingtang unconsciously tightened the hem of Ying Ruyu's clothes again, and when she stepped back, she heard him exhale deeply, and the shadows of the trees outside the car window swayed, as if they were at the bottom of a quiet lake.

　　After a while, Ying Ru let go of his hand.

　　The arm just fell like that, very depressed.

　　Ye Qingtang paused, retreated, and pulled out his seat belt to buckle it again.

　　Without a word, He started the car and merged into the river.

　　The car wasn't driving to Guanlan's apartment, Ye Qingtang realized, but she didn't ask where it was going.

　　Outside, there was a glimmer of light, but there was an obscure silence in the space they were alone in.

　　Instead, it should be as dark as if it were a rainstorm approaching.

　　Ye Qingtang could probably guess his mood at the moment, he was in a sober state, he took the initiative to kiss her, and he could no longer use drunkenness as an excuse to prevaricate.

　　Can't let go, can't ask, can't explain, can't define.

　　Their relationship turned completely gray.

　　For Ye Qingtang, this is not important for the time being- because this kiss should not send her off after fulfilling her "responsibility".

　　She could accept all forms, as long as she was entangled with him, whatever the name.

　　The car eventually drove to the community where Ying Ru was located.

　　Driving into the underground garage, Ying Ruyu did not get out of the car, but only took out an access control card from the storage compartment and handed it to her, told her the password for the fingerprint lock, and told her to go upstairs first.

　　"Where are you going?"

　　If you don't answer, you just say, "You go up first." ”

　　Ye Qingtang was no longer reluctant and got out of the car and took his own bag with a computer.

　　Going upstairs and pushing open the fire door to enter, Ye Qingtang stepped off her shoes and bent down to find a pair of slippers for herself from the shoe cabinet, no accident, the pair she used to wear before had long been thrown away.

　　She casually took a pair of slippers that should be sent, and when she entered the house, she found that the floor heating was turned on, so she simply took off the slippers and wore only socks.

　　Not knowing what Ying Ru had done and when she would return, she thought to herself, he would not leave her for a friend's party.

　　She went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, made herself a cup of hot tea, then took the computer out of her bag, sat down at the table, and continued to sort out the forms.

　　About half an hour later, Ye Qingtang heard the sound of the door unlocking.

　　Ying Ruyu stood in front of the door changing slippers, carrying two large plastic shopping bags.

　　Ye Qingtang quickly walked over and reached out to pick up the bag, and he put his arm to the side, refusing to hand it to her.

　　"Very heavy." He said.

　　Ye Qingtang glanced into the bag, which seemed to be ingredients and a full set of oil, salt and vinegar.

　　"You're going to cook your own meals?"

　　"I don't have that skill."

　　After entering the house, you should take the plastic bag to the middle island platform and put it down, and then take out the contents and put it away.

　　Ye Qingtang walked over to him, he glanced at her, and this time he didn't stop her from helping.

　　The ingredients are far more than a meal, meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits, and a complete range.

　　In addition to this, there was a bouquet of flowers, a multi-headed pink rose, unpackaged, and only casually wrapped in newspaper.

　　"Are you still going?" Ye Qingtang asked in a low voice.

　　"What?"

　　"First that phone..."

　　"Not going."

　　Ye Qingtang picked up the bouquet and looked around.

　　Ying Ru gave her a look, walked to the sideboard, and brought her a wide-mouth vase made of black pottery and handed it to her.

　　Ye Qingtang took it, washed the vase, poured it with water, took the kitchen scissors from the hook on the wall, cut the rose obliquely off the rhizome at the bottom end, and inserted it into the vase one by one.

　　Ying Ru sent involuntarily to see her, her furry coat had come off, and inside was a white sweater with a very open collar, and with her movements, it seemed that the slightest accident would slip off her shoulder.

　　The sweater was soft, like the fluffy new snow that had just accumulated, and it also reflected her face with a snowy clarity.

　　When she was plain and childish, her eyebrows were pure, who knew that in fact, she had no heart and no lungs, and she killed people but did not see blood.

　　After the flowers were arranged, Ye Qingtang picked up the vase, and in the instant she turned around, she should look away.

　　She seemed to be lightened by this flower, her steps were brisk, and after placing it on the dining table, she knelt on one knee on the dining chair, supported the edge of the table with both hands and admired it carefully for a while, and finally took the mobile phone and took several photos, which was satisfied.

　　Heartless.

　　Conclusions should be drawn again as sent.

　　Ye Qingtang returned to Nakajima and continued to help sort out the rest.

　　There was not much left in the bag, the ingredients had been stored, the remaining bottles and cans of spices, and a box of about 4 inches with a ribbon tied.

　　The box was semi-transparent pink gradient frosted texture, and inside was a peach-shaped snack.

　　Should be sent as if do not like to eat sweet.

　　“...... Did you buy it for me? Ye Qingtang asked.

　　Ying Ru glanced at it and said lightly, "Take it with your hand." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled a little, "I wouldn't be responsible for eating it if it wasn't for me." ”

　　"Then throw it away." Raise your hand as you would.

　　Ye Qingtang quickly took two steps back with the snack box.

　　The access control intercom sounded.

　　You should go around Nakajima towards the door and unlock it.

　　After a while, there was a knock at the door, Ying Ru opened the door, Ye Qingtang looked up, and there was a tall and thin woman standing at the door, who looked like she was about fifty years old.

　　Ying Ru smiled and said: "There are no slippers at home, Aunt Ding, you will not be able to see the shoe covers." ”

　　The woman was busy saying yes.

　　You should open the shoe cabinet and find a clean shoe cover.

　　When the woman put on the shoe cover, she should send it and say: "It's cold, it's a holiday again, it's really troublesome for you to come over." ”

　　"It's not troublesome, and I'm not happy about this foreign festival."

　　"Did my grandfather eat it?"

　　"Ate it.

　　The woman put on the shoe cover, while removing the leather band on her wrist to tie her hair, while walking toward the kitchen, she saw Ye Qingtang and was stunned.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said hello, "Hello." ”

　　The woman said busily: "Hello hello hello." ”

　　She did not ask Ye Qingtang's identity, but she did not stop looking at it, and asked Ying Ruyu: "What do you want to eat?" ”

　　"I bought the ingredients and you watched and made them. As long as it's not too spicy. ”

　　Ye Qingtang roughly guessed that this might be an aunt who was cooking for Ying Ru's grandfather's family.

　　The woman looked at Ye Qingtang and asked with a smile, "Is there anything taboo for the girl?" ”

　　"Nothing." Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "People who only open their mouths to eat do not have the right to pick their mouths, Aunt Ding, I will eat whatever you do." ”

　　Aunt Ding immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled.

　　Ying Ru thought to himself, who can resist her ability to coax people.

　　Aunt Ding's hands and feet were sharp, and in a few moments she made three dishes and a soup, braised chicken nuggets, stir-fried shrimp, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a loofah soup.

　　Ying Ru asked her to sit down and eat together, and she said that she had already eaten with the old man in the evening.

　　She seemed to be afraid that she would be uncomfortable sitting dryly, and they would be uncomfortable eating, and asked if they had any clothes to wash.

　　Ying Ru said: "After eating, we can wash the dishes ourselves, the weather is not good, I will help you call a car, you go back to rest earlier." ”

　　Aunt Ding was very cool to listen to the arrangement.

　　The car will arrive downstairs, and Ying Ru will send Aunt Ding to the door, and then ask her to bring words: "Trouble tell Grandpa that I will go home for dinner on the weekend." ”

　　Ying Ru closed the door, went back to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then went back to the table and sat down.

　　Ye Qingtang handed over chopsticks, and he reached out to take them.

　　The two ate dinner silently, only the sound of chopsticks and spoons touching the dishes.

　　Ye Qingtang couldn't hold back this silence a little, and took the initiative to say, "Is Aunt Ding the aunt who takes care of your grandfather?" ”

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang waited for a moment, except for a single syllable response, there was no more following.

　　Ying Ruyu obviously did not want to take care of her.

　　Ye Qingtang didn't care very much, nor was he discouraged at all.

　　It was his right to be angry and snubbed.

　　She tasted the shrimp and boasted, "It's fresh." ”

　　Taking another sip of loofah soup, "I don't actually like to eat loofah, but this loofah soup subverts my stereotype of loofah." ”

　　Finally, it is concluded, "Why are all people, I can only omelette, but someone can cook such a delicious dish." ”

　　In the quiet space, she was the only one who spoke, and she didn't seem to care whether anyone responded, and the sweet voice had a crisp and sharp feeling.

　　Ying Ruyu finally raised his eyes.

　　She was pinching a shrimp, the chopsticks slid a little, and went to clip it a second time, as if aware of his gaze, and she looked up.

　　The gaze only met for a moment, and the eyes should be lowered as if they were sending a flat look.

　　After eating, you should send it up and pack it.

　　Ye Qingtang wanted to help, and he told her to rest.

　　She smoked two wet tissues, wiped the table clean, sat down on the dining chair again, and looked at Ying Ruyu.

　　He was putting the slightly rinsed dishes into the dishwasher, and his face in the pale light was still expressionless.

　　After a while, Ying Ruyu washed his hands and came from the kitchen.

　　Ye Qingtang stood up at this time and said, "I'm ready to go back." ”

　　Ying Ru paused, "I'll send you." ”

　　Ye Qingtang put on the coat on the arm of the sofa, put the computer back into the bag, and when he was about to leave, he stopped again.

　　You should look at her with doubt.

　　She put down her bag, walked over to Nakajima, and took the box of small desserts.

　　Ying Ru sent a voice at this time: "You can eat and then go back." ”

　　Ye Qingtang immediately looked up at him.

　　Ying Ruyu walked over to her and stood beside her.

　　He took the box from her hand, ripped open the ribbon, took out the dessert, pulled open the built-in disinfection cabinet next to it, took a silver dessert spoon from inside, and handed it to her.

　　Ye Qingtang pinched the slender handle and scooped it down with a spoon.

　　The crust was chocolate, and inside was mousse, and the chocolate contained an excess of sugar, so sweet that it was a little greasy.

　　"You see." Ye Qingtang suddenly raised his hand and pointed upwards.

　　Ying Ruyu looked up, "... What the? ”

　　“Mistletoe（*）。” The voice is as soft as a whisper.

　　Before Ying Ruyu could react, Ye Qingtang had already tiptoed closer, and he only had time to see that there was a little white mousse on her lips, and then the warm touch was pasted.

　　Ying Ru raised his hand, but ye Qingtang held down his wrist, "Don't push me away, this is the rule." ”

　　After several seconds of stalemate, Ying Ruyu raised her other hand, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed it into his arms, and in just a moment, she released the hand that was holding her wrist, and he raised his hand and pressed it behind her head.

　　She still had the taste of mousse and chocolate on the tip of her tongue, it was so sweet that he was disgusted, but he couldn't restrain himself, sucking and kissing over and over again.

　　He had done his best to treat her coldly, but he had always failed in a pinch.

　　After this kiss, Ye Qingtang's cheek was buried in his chest, and his breathless voice was still a little trembling, "Ying Ruyu, do you hate me very much?" ”

　　Should be sent as sent without speaking.

　　And she laughed like she had handed over a poison-soaked red apple, the original sin in the biblical story.

　　"I'll do the bad guys, and you'll hate me all the time."

Chapter 25 -25- Brother Ying [First Change]

　　Unsurprisingly, Ying Ruyu still did not express any opinion on her words.

　　She looked up at him, only to see that he looked as calm as water, and there was a dark color like a silent mountain under his eyes.

　　Ye Qingtang turned around, squeezed the spoon and scooped another spoonful of dessert, and after taking it into his mouth, he said vaguely, "Do you want me to leave right away?"

　　"Whatever you want."

　　"If I go now, you'll go to your friends and you'll be able to eat lemon pie -- I forgot, you don't like sweets."

　　"Ye Qingtang." Ying Ru squinted her eyes slightly, staring down at her, "Do you really think I won't be angry?"

　　"Then you're angry—arguing with me, arguing, swearing." Ye Qingtang looked at him, and his eyes were clear and sharp, "If you don't say, how can I know that you are angry?"

　　"You don't know?" You should send a sneering tone.

　　He stopped talking to her and went straight to her, grabbed the spoon from her hand and threw it, grabbed her arm and pulled it out.

　　"What do you do?"

　　"Send you back, I'll go to the party."

　　"I don't want to, I don't want to go, your house is so warm, I live in a place where only broken air conditioning is not used at all." Ye Qingtang spun around, and the whole thing flew directly into his arms, one arm tightly wrapped around his waist.

　　“...... How old are you? ”

　　"It's smaller than you anyway." She is not straight and strong.

　　Ying Ru dragged the arm she put around her waist, did not pull it open, did not care, and directly beat her straight up.

　　Seeing that he was about to reach the entrance hall, Ye Qingtang seemed to "sigh" in pain.

　　Ying Ru hurriedly put her down to the ground and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

　　But only a sly smile at her.

　　“……”

　　Before Ying Ru was really angry, Ye Qingtang hurriedly threw himself into his arms again, and hugged him tightly with both arms, "Teacher Ying, Brother Ying, I was wrong. I just want to stay with you a little longer..."

　　Should be sent to close their eyes, has completely lost their temper.

　　The person who called her fearless was not someone else, but himself.

　　Ye Qingtang let go of him, happily went to the island, took the dessert to the table, and then took out the computer from his bag.

　　She opened the notebook and looked up at him with a sweet smile, "What is your wifi password?" ”

　　“……”

　　After an hour, Ye Qingtang really just sat at the dining table and worked overtime without distraction.

　　YingRu sent in the living room to watch a lecture video related to building materials, sometimes glance at her, she is facing the notebook screen, the look is extremely serious, WeChat prompt sound or ring, her sound of tapping the keyboard is also followed by a rush, obviously replying to WeChat.

　　Ying Ruyu occasionally got up to pour water, and when he passed by her, he glanced down, and from the top of his head he could only see the bridge of her nose and the eyelashes like a lupine.

　　After watching the video, Ying Ru seemed to be busy for a while and a half, so she turned off the TV and got up and went to the study.

　　He opened the computer, opened the construction drawings sent to him by Yao Hui from the company's cloud documents, and reviewed them page by page.

　　I don't know how long it took, but I heard a soft knock.

　　You should look up at the door.

　　The door was actually open, and Ye Qingtang was standing in the doorway.

　　Ying Ru asked, "Busy?" ”

　　"Hmm. I'm sorry. ”

　　"Sorry for what?"

　　"I've just been busy with my own business." Ye Qingtang pressed his temple with two fingers, "There was an import and export company that has been cooperating with us before, and there was some problem with the qualifications, resulting in a number of exhibition books sent by overseas publishing houses being temporarily seized by the customs, and I have just contacted other companies to act as agents for customs clearance." ”

　　"What number is it?"

　　"Next month on the 15th."

　　"Can you catch up?"

　　"It should be possible. The number is not very large, and it is better to remove these exhibits if they can't catch up. Ye Qingtang's eyes suddenly widened at this time, and he was surprised, "Teacher Ying won't have friends at customs, right?" ”

　　“……”

　　"What are you busy with?" Are you also working overtime? Ye Qingtang walked in and stood beside him, "If it is confidential content, quickly turn it off." ”

　　Ying Ru didn't care much, "Anyway, you can't understand it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang glanced at it unconvincingly, and it turned out that the whole picture really only recognized the words "Second Floor Plan of the Disabled Ramp".

　　"Teacher Ying, are you tired?" Ye Qingtang reached out and gestured to pinch his shoulder.

　　Ying Ru grabbed her hand to stop it, still lukewarm in tone, "No." ”

　　"But I'm tired, can Teacher Ying help me pinch it?" She blinked slowly.

　　Before Ying Ruyu could speak, she had squeezed into the gap between his knees and the desk, and this action pushed the leather chair back a few times, and she took advantage of the situation to sit down on his knees, stretched out two arms, and climbed on his shoulders.

　　You should lean your head back slightly, neither pushing back nor taking the initiative, and there is a bit of scrutiny in the slightly looking down, "What do you want to do?" ”

　　"Where can I do anything?" Her innocent tone seemed to blame him, she was in this situation, how could he speculate about her so dirtyally.

　　However, in the next instant, the arms on his shoulders slid down, through the sweater, and vainly wrapped their arms around his waist. She leaned over, breathed close to his ear, and whispered, "I can't, but teacher you can." ”

　　You should take a breath and feel her palm continue to move down.

　　There was a sweet, warm aroma on her, like some kind of blooming flower in the middle of summer, lingering on the tip of his nose.

　　For some reason, he didn't stop it at the first time, only before her fingers touched the metal lock, he grabbed it and said lightly, "I'm not in the mood." ”

　　"Is it?" She leaned over his shoulder and laughed lowly, deliberately sitting inward again, her leg pressed against his, "as if that wasn't what it said. ”

　　Ying Ruyu raised his arms around her, as if helpless, "Okay, don't make a fuss." ”

　　Ye Qingtang had always known that his arms had magic.

　　She immediately fell silent.

　　After being hugged quietly for a long time, Ye Qingtang muffled, "I should go back." ”

　　After a few seconds of silence, Ying Ru said, "I will send you." ”

　　"Won't you keep me?" Ye Qingtang asked with a smile.

　　Ying Ruyu didn't make a sound for a moment, let go of her hand for a moment, and gently patted her arm, "Let's go." ”

　　Ye Qingtang didn't say anything more.

　　In an instant, there was a feeling of weightlessness in the heart.

　　-

　　In the next few days, every day at noon, the meal should be ordered in advance, and delivered to Ye Qingtang's hands on time around eleven and a half at noon. The meal was light, the meat and vegetables were well matched, and the taste was also very good.

　　Ye Qingtang checked the delivery shop and learned that they did not open an online delivery service.

　　In the evening, Ying Ru sent a car to pick her up to his residence, when Aunt Ding just finished cooking, and she could wash her hands and cook.

　　After eating, each of them was busy for a while, and then he should send her back as if he had sent her back.

　　Since the two of them had denied the love relationship, he could only judge that they should be sending it to Ye Qingtang, but they had not yet been able to catch up. He sent a WeChat message to ask his brother if he needed to be a wingman.

　　Should be sent back to him six points.

　　On the weekend, Ying Ru sent to grandpa Ying Guandai's home and accompanied him to lunch.

　　Before going upstairs, he went to the courier point and moved the cat food and canned food that he had ordered a while ago.

　　As soon as he opened the door, a black shadow rushed over with a "meow", and his head was rubbed against the hem of his pants.

　　You should put down the courier and crouch down to touch the head of the black cat.

　　Ying Guandai walked out of the study with reading glasses in his hand, smiled and said, "As soon as you listen to the movement of reading, you know that you are back." ”

　　The name of the black cat is Sentence Reading.

　　Grandpa said, looking at it curled up and sleeping in the dark, isn't it like a comma? But Grandpa studied ancient Chinese, thinking that the comma was too straightforward, so he took a similar meaning of "sentence reading" name.

　　After sending it into the house, the courier was dismantled first, and the cat food and canned cat food were taken out and put under the cupboard next to the table.

　　Aunt Ding prepared the dishes and washed her hands on the table.

　　"Read the sentence for prescription food, eat first and see the situation." It should be sent as it is said.

　　The sentence is read as a male cat, and it is already an elderly cat, and there are some problems with the urinary system.

　　Ying Guandai said: "Cats are like people, a year is not as good as a year, and there will always be some small problems when they are old." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled at him, "You are still so arrogant and say such a sad thing." ”

　　"Isn't that people and cats all holding up with you?" Ying Guandai raised his hand to scoop up the spoon to scoop vegetable leaf soup for himself, and Ying Ru sent his bowl to help, "If I am gone, the cat is gone, but you are not alone." ”

　　"What a pity." It should be like sending a smile.

　　Ying Guandai said, "You listened to me. Your parents' side... Don't say it. Lu Mao was a good child, but in the end he didn't live together, and he was separated by a layer. ”

　　"Stop. I heard you were about to get married. Ying Ru smiled and handed the soup bowl to Ying Guandai.

　　"I'm not urging you to get married, I'm trying to make you not devote all your energy to your career." Whether you get married or not, or whether you have children or not, it's up to you. Grandpa means that you still have to stabilize and find someone to accompany you. If nothing else, I'm really old enough to be here, and I have to prepare for the worst. ”

　　Ying Ruyu only said: "You know that my character is not indiscriminate, and it is not interesting to be stable for the sake of stability." ”

　　"There are some people you don't have much contact with, how can you conclude that it is not appropriate?" I think the chu family boy squeezed you too much, he is a dashing man, and he is engaged to marriage. Is it that the company usually pushes all the things to you to do? ”

　　Ying Ruyu felt funny, "We have a division of labor. ”

　　Ying Guandai drank the soup and continued, "When all is said and done, you have to help me with a favor." I have an old colleague, my granddaughter has just returned from abroad and immediately went to work at the research institute. The child's life circle is small, and he has not found a suitable object so far. I have seen the photos, very beautiful, I heard that the personality is also particularly calm. On New Year's Day, I asked my old colleague to come to the house for dinner, and his granddaughter also came. When you come back to meet, you should know one more friend - she studied materials science, and she has a background in studying abroad, and she must have something to talk with you. ”

　　If this matter had been arranged by Liang Suzhi, he should have given no face at all, and he would have gone directly with his sleeves, but he could not refuse his grandfather's painstaking heart.

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "I said ugly things in the front, and this matter is barely possible." If you don't look at the right eye at that time, you can't continue to press your head. ”

　　Ying Guandai also laughed: "Whether a human girl can see you or not is not certain." ”

　　After eating, He should accompany Grandpa downstairs for a walk, go back to the study upstairs, help him suck the three old-fashioned fountain pens full of ink, and then leave.

Chapter 26 -26- What is our relationship [Second Change]...

　　-26-

　　Ye Qingtang hurriedly sent a message to Ying Ru before he left work, informing him that her parents had returned to Nancheng and that they were going home for dinner tonight.

　　Reply should be sent: I will send you home.

　　With the launch date approaching, Ye Qingtang spent most of his time at the Nancheng Art Museum.

　　When Ying Ru sent it, Lu Mao was placing the X exhibition stand, and he was not surprised that he should send this full-time transfer, and only smiled and said: "Sister Tang is in Area B." ”

　　Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu were placing exhibits on the bookshelf.

　　Ye Qingtang did not wear a coat, wearing a light taro-colored pullover sweatshirt, black jeans and Martin boots. This body is suitable for work, and she does work feverishly, and the cold winter season can produce a sweat on her forehead.

　　Seeing Ying Ruyu's figure, Ye Qingtang turned his head and glanced at it, "Wait for me to get down, and leave immediately."

　　Wu Qingshu also looked down and bowed his head slightly as a greeting.

　　Wu Qingshu had only dealt with Ying Ruyu formally in the past few days, and she had the impression that this was the first time Ye Qingtang had eaten the head grass, so she was a little more curious about her people.

　　After a little contact after the meeting, Wu Qingshu overturned the first impression of looking at the restaurant that night: Ying Ruji also had a similar skin to Linton, and the temperament to personality was completely different. If Linton is a long and gray polar night in the north, it should be a cold morning that has just broken dawn.

　　She said to Ye Qingtang, "If you use such a good person as a stand-in for you, you will commit iniquity."

　　Ye Qingtang finished putting away the stack of books in hand, went to the bathroom and came back, Fang picked up his coat and bag, corresponding to sending a message saying".

　　The two men exited the stadium gate and walked together to the parking lot.

　　Ye Qingtang's coat was only held in his hand and not worn, and he should be sent as a faint reminder: "Be careful of colds." ”

　　"It's not cold, the sweatshirt has plush. Wait until you get in the car and take it off, so troublesome. ”

　　A few days ago, it was said that it was dinner, but it was more like a supper, both of them were busy, and they should come and pick her up at nine o'clock, and when they arrived home, they came home at half past nine.

　　Today, because I want to go home for dinner, I went a little early, and I happened to encounter the evening peak.

　　Ye Qingtang did not idle after getting on the car, holding his mobile phone and crackling to reply to various questions from the exhibitors on WeChat.

　　Ying Ru glanced at it and found that the nail polish on her fingers did not know when to change, yesterday it was still fog blue, today it turned smoky purple, but it echoed the color of her clothes.

　　The man's fingernails were like palettes, and he had seen no less than ten colors.

　　"When did you do the nails?"

　　"Huh?" Ye Qingtang replied, "Oh, it wasn't done in a nail salon." After washing your hair, don't you have to take a dry hair hat to wrap it first, and then take advantage of that time to paint it yourself. ”

　　She opened her five fingers and shook them, "What, I'm not super skilled, I haven't painted it at all." I told Qingshu that if the book couldn't continue, I would go to open a nail salon. ”

　　Hmmm. It's also a way out. Ying Ruji suppressed his instinct to smile and only responded in such a flat tone.

　　The road is blocked, the car is parked and stopped, Ye Qingtang has been looking at the mobile phone a little motion sickness, first lock the phone screen, open the car window to breathe, the car is passing through a commercial building, the huge LED screen flashing New Year's Day promotion information.

　　"It should be sent as such."

　　"Huh?"

　　"Tomorrow, are you going to join me on New Year's Eve?"

　　She turned her head at this moment, and she should have seen that there was a small grape-shaped stud on her earlobe, and the purple color lined her earlobe as white and lustrous as a mother of shell.

　　“...... random. He said.

　　"Then I'll arrange it?"

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang happily picked up the mobile phone, ready to pick a restaurant, and was instantly overwhelmed by the motion sickness roof of the stomach churning, her eyes were closed, and she took a deep breath.

　　A chuckle seemed to be heard.

　　She immediately raised her eyes, but only saw Ying Ruji's still calm expression.

　　The car drove to the door of the community where the Ye family villa was located.

　　Ying Ru sent a right turn light to change lanes and prepare to stop, Ye Qingtang suddenly shrunk down, and buried his head towards his knees.

　　If you don't know, turn your head and look out the window on the right side.

　　But I saw two people walking past with a smile, it was Ye Chengyin and Zhuang Yujin. Ye Chengyin was carrying a shopping bag in his hand, Zhuang Yujin took his arm, and the two seemed to come back from a walk after buying something.

　　After a while, Ye Qingtang stood up straight and looked up, and the two had already gone far.

　　"What are you hiding?"

　　It sounded as cool as a thin snow.

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned and quickly turned his head to see Ying Ruyu.

　　"Afraid of being seen by them?" His eyes were hidden in the darkness, so that people could not distinguish emotions.

　　"No, I..." How to say, she really has not rehearsed how to introduce ying ru to her parents, and it is Only Fangcai's first reaction is to avoid.

　　Ye Qingtang tried to make a remedy, but it was undoubtedly very clumsy: "... Is it okay to go home with me for dinner? ”

　　"No." Ying Ru said lightly, "Go back quickly." ”

　　Ye Qingtang unfastened his seat belt and leaned over to grab his hand, "Listen to me, I really don't want to hide our relationship, just..."

　　Ying Ruyu interrupted her, "What is our relationship?" ”

　　He flicked his fingers away from her hand and said calmly, "Go back, the car can't stop for long." ”

　　"It should be sent as..."

　　Should be sent as if no longer look at her.

　　Ye Qingtang hesitantly pulled open the car door.

　　Before getting out of the car and slamming the door, she glanced into the carriage again, and in the darkness, it should be like a shadow that was frozen.

　　When Ye Qingtang was about to walk into the gate, the headlights flashed, and she looked back, and the car was making a U-turn, and after a turn, she entered the opposite lane and gradually drifted away.

　　-

　　On the last day before the New Year, Ye Qingtang lived alone.

　　When she wakes up early, she should send her a WeChat message informing her that she has a temporary affair and may not be able to get out of her body all day.

　　She didn't know if it was true, or if she should be angry and unwilling to see her.

　　There is naturally no shortage of Han Jun in the WeChat group to attract friends, Ye Qingtang originally promised to go with Han Jun and them for the New Year's Eve - Jiangbei District will set off fireworks, this house in the front of the fireworks display point on the top floor of a luxury suite, invited several friends, play cards together to watch fireworks.

　　Ye Qingtang was depressed and busy in the stadium all day, and by the evening he was completely exhausted.

　　She gave up the location of the restaurant to Wu Qingshu and Lu Mao, and when they left after work, she secretly said to Wu Qingshu, If you don't sleep Sakaguchi today, don't come to see me.

　　Ye Qingtang was busy until 9:30 p.m., and the last one left the venue and drove back to his apartment.

　　The air conditioner was turned on for a long time, but she still felt that it was not warm enough, so she angrily sent the building that should be stayed in to Ye Chengyin: Dad, I want to move.

　　She also had to put on floor heating and wore only a T-shirt and socks.

　　After a long time, her father did not reply to her, and she guessed that it must be the old husband and wife who were under the moon before the flower.

　　Ye Qingtang took a shower and changed into plush house clothes and stockings.

　　She opened the computer to broadcast the American drama, but she could not watch it, so she pushed it aside to be the background tone.

　　She noticed the marker and sketchbook on the table, thought for a moment, and took it.

　　She began to paint.

　　A gopher protruded half its head out of the hole.

　　The gopher's whole head popped out and looked around.

　　The gopher extended its claws and poked the tail of a sleeping black cat on the side.

　　The gopher crawled out of the hole and quietly approached the black cat.

　　The gopher slipped two slips of paper between its paws, then quickly slipped back into the hole and closed the door.

　　Eight in all, all stick figures, didn't take much time.

　　Take the photos, crop them, and send them one by one in order.

　　Should be sent as sent without reply.

　　Ye Qingtang took a photography book from the pile of books on the table and flipped through it carelessly.

　　When the American drama broadcast the next episode, it suddenly sounded a WeChat prompt tone.

　　Ye Qingtang returned to his senses and quickly picked it up to take a look.

　　And the dialog box that should be sent, finally two more new messages.

　　The first was to circle one of the stick figures, the black cat's paw between the notes, with the red pen.

　　The second is a question mark.

　　Ye Qingtang immediately sent the last two pictures he had prepared.

　　One was a gopher holding up a note that read: Happy New Year.

　　Another reads: I'm sorry.

　　Should be sent to send and did not reply.

　　Ye Qingtang was out of luck, sighed, turned off the computer, cleaned up the desktop, took the mobile phone back to the bedroom, ready to brush Weibo, listen to music and go to sleep.

　　Nature is sleepless.

　　After brushing Weibo for a while, I unconsciously cut to the WeChat interface, swiped the screen, and tried to brush out a new message like brushing Weibo.

　　I don't know how many times I have repeated this meaningless action.

　　A new message actually popped up on the screen.

　　Ye Qingtang only felt that his heart had stopped beating.

　　Should be sent as: Sleeping?

　　Ye Qingtang quickly sat up and replied: Not yet.

　　Should be sent as: wait for me to open the door.

　　Ye Qingtang took off his headphones, quickly jumped out of bed, pulled his slippers and ran to the video phone at the gate to crouch and wait.

　　After about ten minutes, the video phone finally rang.

　　She immediately opened the door.

　　After waiting for another two minutes, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps outside.

　　Ye Qingtang did not wait for anyone to knock on the door and directly opened the door.

　　The person outside stomped his feet, "You don't confirm it again..."

　　The voice was interrupted because Ye Qingtang directly pounced on him and hugged him.

　　Ying Ru raised his hand, gently pressed her back, and let out a low breath.

　　After entering the door, Ye Qingtang opened the shoe cabinet door to find slippers, and Ying Ruyu noticed that the umbrella barrel contained the black umbrella he had given her.

　　A pair of slippers was placed at his feet, and he looked down, slightly shy.

　　At that time, because he often came here, Ye Qingtang prepared a pair of commonly used gray cloth drags for him, and he did not expect that she did not throw it away.

　　When Ying Ru changed his shoes, Ye Qingtang looked at him.

　　He wore a dark gray wool coat with a half-height collared black sweater, a kind of cold and cold forest.

　　Ying Ru changed his slippers, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and there was still three minutes to zero.

　　Turning his head, he saw ye Qingtang staring at the wall clock behind the sofa, doing the same thing as him.

　　Ye Qingtang suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist and dragged him straight to the bedroom.

　　Not the unfolding he thought.

　　Once in the bedroom, she began to fiddle with the portable projector on a stool beside her, which she had added to her before.

　　At the end of the bed is a white wall, and the projector is projected directly above the wall.

　　Ye Qingtang adjusted his position while asking him, "Have you eaten dinner?" ”

　　"Hmm."

　　Ying Ruji stood by the door and looked at her, and after a while, he said, "You don't ask me, is there really something wrong, or did you intentionally let go of your pigeons?" ”

　　"That doesn't matter." The movement in Ye Qingtang's hand stopped for a moment and whispered, "It's more important that you've already come." ”

　　The projector flashed and seemed to be connected to her phone.

　　She came over and took the room door, and then, suddenly, raising her hand, she leaned over to his side.

　　Should be sent to turn your head and look down, that is the switch.

　　"Snap".

　　The whole space was suddenly dark, and the white beam of light came from the projector and spread out to form a curtain of light on the wall.

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the phone screen.

　　The white wall suddenly revealed a night sky at the top of a tall building, and fireworks were exploding one by one.

　　Her hand rested on his wrist, tiptoed, leaned back toward him, and the sound of a slightly hot breath, a deep, a shallow.

　　The light and shadow of the light and shadow scattered on her hair, like a lonely seabed disturbed by swimming fish, and there were sparkling waves in her eyes.

　　Ying Ru reached out and held the side of her face.

　　With a roar of fireworks, it was impossible to tell whose heartbeat was.

　　Should be sent as a low head.

　　At least for the moment, he had no way to lie to himself.

Chapter 27 -27 - End

　　Fluffy hair brushed the tip of his nose, slightly curly hair, with a fresh scent of grapefruit.

　　Ye Qingtang's feet were dangling in the air, and it was Ying Ru who put his arm around her waist and picked her up.

　　She had a slight drunkenness, like she had drunk a low-grade sweet sparkling wine.

　　"The South Side Building has a light show tonight, would you like to see it?" It should be asked as asked.

　　He looked up at her slightly, and she looked down to see the slightly rolling throat knot as he spoke.

　　"Usually it doesn't end at ten o'clock at night?"

　　"Today's New Year, it will last until 00:30, and it is time to go out right now."

　　"I'm going to go!"

　　However, she was wearing pajamas and changing into a full set of clothes, and she didn't know how much time it would take.

　　You should send it as follows: "Just wear a coat, don't go down in the car." ”

　　So Ye Qingtang found a loose bread suit from the closet and draped it, put on a pair of cotton socks, put on warm snow boots, and was led out of the door by Ying Ruji.

　　After the car drove out of the underground garage, Ye Qingtang opened the window, and the cold wind brushed her cheeks, but she closed her eyes comfortably.

　　Ying Ruyu involuntarily pressed the lift button on the door on his side and closed all the windows, "Be careful of catching a cold for a while."

　　It must have been too late to rush to the vicinity of the South City Building, so it should be sent to the opposite side of the building, the mountain on the bank of the river, with little traffic and no obstacles.

　　The terrain on this shore is higher, and as soon as you enter the mountain, the view is broadened, and the landmark buildings across the river are in sight.

　　The car continues to drive upwards, as intended to find the best view before stopping.

　　"It should be sent as such." Ye Qingtang suddenly made a sound.

　　"Huh?"

　　"Did you see a small gas station just passing by?"

　　"What's wrong?"

　　"I want to eat ice cream and don't know if it's sold.

　　"Can you eat it?"

　　"Yes, it's already good, thanks to the blessing of the teacher's careful care." Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

　　Should be sent to the side of the parking car.

　　Ye Qingtang waited in the car, and after a while, he came back, opened the door and handed her a cone, "That's all." ”

　　"How do you know I love sea salt roses?"

　　"I just picked the most fancy one."

　　“……”

　　The car drove for a few more minutes, stopped in a clearing, and Shoulduyu turned around deliberately so that the passenger window was facing the illuminated South City Building.

　　The window opened, and Ye Qingtang propped his arms on the window frame and protruded his upper body.

　　She tore open the paper wrapper wrapped in a cones in a circle and enjoyed it as she ate it.

　　On the façade of the building, colorful characters are constantly changing, alternating "Happy New Year", "HAPPY NEW YEAR", and "I LOVE NANCHENG".

　　Ying Ruyu was standing outside the car door, next to Ye Qingtang.

　　Hearing a soft sigh, he turned his head to look at it, "You know it's cold? ”

　　"It's so cold, my hands are frozen, you help me warm up."

　　Ye Qingtang spread his palms.

　　The slender five fingers, the abdomen of the fingers is frozen out of the light red.

　　Ying Ru reached out and grabbed her fingers.

　　She dragged him violently, and as he leaned over, almost her entire upper body popped out, her head up, the cold tip of her tongue flicking across the edge of his lips.

　　Perhaps because he hated sweets, she teased him with the same trick over and over again.

　　One hand should be propped on the edge of the window and the other hand on the back of her neck.

　　When the tip of her tongue was about to retreat, she was suddenly hunted by him. He kissed back passionately and forcefully, causing her head to fall back.

　　For a long time, he should press his thumb on the side of her neck and step back, "Is it still cold?" ”

　　She smiled and shook her head, her breathing was slightly chaotic, but her eyes were shining.

　　"Ah." Ye Qingtang suddenly raised his eyes and looked behind him.

　　Should be sent as if sent also subconsciously back.

　　The building, which was still full of light at the last moment, suddenly fell silent at this moment, becoming a silent black shadow standing in the distance.

　　"It's over." Ye Qingtang was inexplicably stunned.

　　At the moment when the last word fell, Ying Ru stretched out his arms and took her into his arms.

　　She barely had time to reach out to the hand that was still holding half a cone.

　　This hug that should be sent seems to be more silent than the night.

　　"Yes..." She panicked for no reason, and gently wrestled, pressing the palm on her back and tightening it for two more points, and then she quieted down.

　　After a long time, I only felt that the four strokes were more quiet, only the sound of the wind skimming through the silent woods.

　　Ying Ruyu finally let go of her, touched her face with his fingers, and said softly, "Let's go, send you back." ”

　　Ye Qingtang glanced into his hand, and the cones were about to melt.

　　It took less than twenty minutes to go back.

　　The car drove into the underground garage, Ye Qingtang reached out and pressed the seat belt, while saying: "Will you go up and sit down again?" ”

　　No answer was heard.

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head to look.

　　Ying Ruyu put his hands on the steering wheel, lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Qingtang." ”

　　In Ye Qingtang's impression, every time she responded by calling her name in such a tone, there was a solemn sense that people had to breathe.

　　Before she could ask what was wrong, he continued, "I'm going to tell you something." ”

　　"What?"

　　Ying Ruyu raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were calm as water, "The day after tomorrow, the family arranged a blind date." ”

　　“...... Are you going? ”

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang's heart tightened, "... Why? ”

　　"I want to settle down."

　　“...... Are you being funny? Ye Qingtang's first reaction was to laugh.

　　But Ying Ruyu did not smile, and his expression was even more solemn, "At my current age, is it not a very normal thing to want to settle down?" ”

　　"But..." Ye Qingtang said, "then why go on a blind date?" Can't I? ”

　　"Can you?" Ying Ruyu looked straight into her eyes, "One year of marriage, two years of having children, can you?" ”

　　"..." Ye Qingtang had a kind of irritation of being teased, "This is not at all what you will say, how can you possibly live such a life as a commoner." ”

　　Ying Ruyu seemed to laugh, "Why can't I say such a thing, do you really understand me?" Know what kind of life I want to live? ”

　　Ye Qingtang bit his lip for a moment, did not make a sound for a while, and after a while, Fang said, "Since you want to tell me this, why did you come to me, you want to take me to see the light show." Are you taking pity on me? ”

　　"Qingtang, you such a good girl, who dares to pity you." There should be a kind of deep sea-like stillness in the eyes of the sending, "... I am fulfilling myself. ”

　　“...... I don't understand. Ye Qingtang rubbed his forehead, "I can't understand you." ”

　　Ying Ruyu quietly stared at her for a moment before he spoke again, "Haven't you ever been curious?" That's when I booked a restaurant and asked you for dinner on Saturday, and I'll say something to you. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned.

　　And Ying Ruyu pointed out the conjecture that flashed in her heart and was urgently denied by herself: "I am ready to confess to you." ”

　　He looked at her, his voice unhurried, "I'm ready to tell you that I don't like the current relationship, I want to be more involved in your life, and I want to ask you to be my girlfriend." ”

　　She seemed to have been thrown on a hot iron plate, and for a moment she was a little helpless.

　　She thought that night should be as calm as when she came out of the door.

　　For a long time, she suppressed a sentence, "... Yes. ”

　　"Can I?" There was more emotion in his eyes, like tolerance, and like indifferent sadness, "Do you like me?" ”

　　"Loved it." She didn't hesitate much.

　　"How much do you like it? Can it last more than three months? ”

　　Ye Qingtang wanted to open his mouth, but he could only bite his lip anxiously.

　　Ying Ruyu seemed not to be surprised by her reaction at all, and even laughed softly, "You have talked about so many relationships of less than three months, but there is only one person, which is the exception to your set of game rules, isn't it?" ”

　　She doesn't want to say "yes" and doesn't want to lie, especially in the current situation, which should be honest with her.

　　She could only be silent.

　　And her silence was probably what he expected.

　　He wasn't angry, he didn't show the cold look he had when he first learned the truth, he just looked at her still mildly and with a little indifference and sadness, "The next thing I really want to say is what I want to say." Qingtang, I once said that I hate all chaos and meaninglessness, because my parents began with chaos and ended with another piece of chicken feathers, and all those involved in them became more or less victims of their willfulness. Unfortunately, I am the one involved the most. So I'm very cautious about both love and marriage. Before you, I only talked about one girlfriend, sophomore year to graduate school. When I was in graduate school, I had irreconcilable conflicts in foreign countries, and after graduation, I still couldn't solve them, so we broke up peacefully. After that, I was busy with internships, busy gaining experience in foreign construction firms, and after returning home, I was busy preparing my own company. ”

　　He paused for a moment and turned his words slightly: "I guess your misunderstanding of me stems from preconceived notions about my appearance." But no, I haven't had a friendly relationship with anyone else before. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was a little surprised, because Ying Ruyu was indeed too much like a high-end player, but she knew that he had no reason to lie, "... Then why did you promise me. ”

　　"Hmm. That's the crux of the matter – because the first time I saw you, I had a crush on you. ”

　　Ye Qingtang raised his eyes in shock.

　　"Because of this, I was passive from the beginning, only to play at your pace and the rules of the game. This goes back to what I said at the beginning, I don't like unplanned chaos, and the facts have confirmed that I shouldn't break my principles and get into such a chaotic relationship, and I shouldn't repeat the same mistakes without knowing that there is no result, and hurt you at the same time. ”

　　“...... You didn't hurt me. ”

　　Ying Ruyu shook his head, "If it had been sensible, it wouldn't have happened." ”

　　"So... You regret it, don't you? She seemed to be only instinctively attacking the suspected hole in his words.

　　"What I regret is that in the beginning, I should have pursued you normally, even if in hindsight you wouldn't have agreed."

　　It should be sent as if there is nothing wrong with it. If it was made on the premise of being in love, she wouldn't have given him that chance at all, because it meant that she would owe him from the beginning.

　　She is not a good person, but the only principle she will stick to is that any relationship must be reciprocal, and the cannon-friend only needs to share the flesh-body, while love must deliver the heart.

　　Ye Qingtang tried to pull the topic back to the previous part: "... I like you now and said we can fall in love and I will introduce you to my parents. But you don't want to, just because, I can't vouch for it, that in three months or six months, I'll still like you, do I? ”

　　YingRu sighed, "... If you're willing to understand it that way, you can too. ”

　　“...... Aren't you happy with me? Ye Qingtang asked in a muffled voice.

　　"If it's destined to end in three months, it's better not to start at first."

　　"People also die, so why not be born at all?" Ye Qingtang actually knew that he was already a bit of a mess.

　　"Qingtang." And Ying Ruyu was still gentle and patient, "Having fun in time is a way of life, there is no problem, but I am not willing to try again." ”

　　For a moment there was silence.

　　Ye Qingtang just hung his head, and his heart was extremely confused. She had felt that it was as if she was playing with yingru, and only if he was willing to pick up the ball she threw, the game would have to continue.

　　She knew it was clear that the ball had landed.

　　No matter how she coddles, tricks, creates surprises and romances, he will not be soft-hearted.

　　Ying Ruyu opened his mouth again, and his voice had a more flat and straightforward calm than Fang cai: "And the last sentence is also my blessing." You are so good, no one will despise your heart. You are not someone who lacks courage and you should continue to fight for... If that person is your exception. ”

　　“...... He was married. Ye Qingtang only felt dumbfounded, "... Please, can you not be so generous? ”

　　Ying Ru sent a moment of silence, but asked, "... What happened on your birthday? ”

　　Ye Qingtang did not explain but just received an invitation.

　　The meaning is the same.

　　Ying Ruyu sighed deeply.

　　He thought of Ye Qingtang's face full of tears that night, and for a moment there was a feeling of near suffocation, and his voice was still calm, "Then you should know even more that false medicine cannot comfort the real pain." ”

　　Ye Qingtang felt as if he were trapped in a dark labyrinth, "... Speaking of which, you just won't believe it, I like you too, right? ”

　　"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not. Don't you understand, Qingtang. What I want is a two-way reciprocal relationship, an absolute 'exception' for the other party to be myself. ”

　　Ye Qingtang had a feeling of powerlessness.

　　If something has to be proven in the future, how can she prove it in the present? Moreover, she is really not sure whether such a "proof" really exists in the future.

　　“...... If I had to pester, there was nothing you could do. She instinctively didn't want to end it like that, didn't want to let go.

　　"Of course."

　　Ye Qingtang raised his eyes suddenly.

　　And Ying Ruyu also met her gaze, and after a moment of silence, he said with difficulty: "Stop today, in time, I can still forget you; if I briefly talk to you about a relationship, and then become a tasteless 'chewing gum' that you discard, I don't know, I don't have confidence... Qingtang, don't let me bury the memories of the rest of my life to you. ”

　　- Leave me a way to live.

　　The mouth of the heart tightened, as if it had been thrown into a sealed glass jar, the oxygen was being sucked out little by little, and it was becoming difficult to breathe.

　　Ye Qingtang was speechless.

　　She saw a calm and sad sincerity in her eyes, which made it impossible for her to continue to be willful.

　　“...... I know. Finally, Ye Qingtang said softly.

　　She went to pull the car door with her backhand, the first time she did not touch the clasp, and the second time she succeeded.

　　The moment the car door falls, you should bow your head, put your arm on the steering wheel, and lean your forehead up.

　　The world was silent.

　　The wind blew through the empty heart without even causing a single echo.

Chapter 28 -28- I seem to have lost love

　　Ye Qingtang slammed the door with a loud noise, took off his down jacket and threw it on the sofa a few times, only then did he find that he was still wearing snow boots on his feet, and he returned to the door to change his slippers in a huff.

　　I opened the bedroom door, but I saw that the projector was still on, and I was in a hurry to close it.

　　She walked over and pressed the shutdown button, and when she didn't press it in place, she lost all patience and simply unpluged the power cord.

　　The beam disappears.

　　The world is pure.

　　She lay down on the bed, reached for her phone, and remembered that it was in her coat, and the coat was on the couch.

　　In this way, even the last urge to find a good sister to complain about disappears.

　　Becomes a conceptualized blank, no emotion, no thought, no strength.

　　I don't know how long it took, but the thought of brushing her teeth before going to bed prompted her to get up and go into the bathroom.

　　She absentmindedly picked up the toothpaste and remembered that the tube had been used up to the point where it could not be squeezed out at all, and that the new toothpaste that she had ordered online would not arrive until tomorrow.

　　I never thought that an empty toothpaste would become the last straw that crushed the camel of emotion.

　　She stepped on the pedal of the trash can to lift the lid and threw the toothpaste "snapped" into it.

　　Go back to the living room and grab the down jacket on the couch, take the car keys and door keys and put them in your pockets, put on your boots with one foot, and open the door.

　　The streets are so quiet in the early hours of the morning that the whole world is good night.

　　The red light in her field of vision became blurred, and as she stepped on the brakes, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

　　The car was parked on the parking pad outside the villa.

　　The windows of the entire three-story building were dark, and they were already asleep.

　　Ye Qingtang stepped up the steps, walked to the door, and borrowed the lamp that was always on on the porch to enter the door lock password.

　　The family of three were born together, familiar enough to close their eyes and not be wrong with six numbers, today somehow, lost three times and did not lose right.

　　Several alarms sounded, and in the quiet night, Ye Qingtang's heartbeat was frightened to stop twice.

　　She paused for a moment and then lost again, this time with great caution, convinced that every number had not been wrong.

　　Or an error.

　　All emotions rushed into her mind at once, and she couldn't help but kick at the door.

　　At this time, there were faint footsteps from inside the door, and a female voice asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”

　　"Aunt Zhao, it's me."

　　Aunt Zhao, the nanny who lived in the house, opened the door and squinted her sleepy eyes to look out, "Ah yo, little ancestor, why did you run back so late--wear so little and not be afraid of catching a cold." ”

　　She quickly welcomed Ye Qingtang into the door, "Do you want to eat a late-night snack?" ”

　　"Don't eat. Auntie, you don't have to care about me, go to sleep - what's going on with this door, how I enter the password is not right. ”

　　At this time, there was also movement from upstairs, and Zhuang Yujin walked to the staircase wearing a long gray knitted coat, "Qingtang? How did you run home so late? ”

　　"I can't open the door lock." It was as if this was all her grievances at the moment.

　　"Oh, isn't it the New Year, the old password has been used for more than three months, I changed one, forgot to tell you on WeChat."

　　"I can't even get in..." Ye Qingtang burst into tears.

　　Zhuang Yujin saw that she was not in the right mood, and went down the stairs and asked Aunt Zhao to rest first.

　　She reached out to pull Ye Qingtang's hand, "... So cold? Are you wearing pajamas? Why don't you go out without changing your clothes? ”

　　Ye Qingtang looked at Zhuang Yujin and wanted to open his mouth, but the tears rolled down first.

　　Zhuang Yujin was frightened, "What's wrong Tang Tang?" What happened? ”

　　She put her arms around Ye Qingtang and looked down at her, her fingers wiping the tears from her cheeks, and her tone was infinitely gentle, "What the hell is going on?" ”

　　Upstairs Ye Chengyin also came out of the bedroom, he yawned, just wanted to open his mouth, saw his daughter crying with pear blossoms and rain, busy asking, "What's wrong?" ”

　　"It's all right." Zhuang Yujin put his arm around Ye Qingtang's shoulder, led her upstairs, and said to Ye Chengyin, "You go back to the room first, I'll talk to her." ”

　　Ye Qingtang's room was at the other end of the corridor.

　　Zhuang Yujin opened the switch of the room, closed the door, led Ye Qingtang to the bed and sat down, and asked softly again: "Can you talk to me?" What happened? ”

　　Ye Qingtang sobbed, "... I seem to be out of love. ”

　　"I didn't hear you were in love—who was the other person?"

　　Ye Qingtang shook his head, stopped talking, just hung his head and silently wept.

　　Zhuang Yujin also stopped asking questions, got up and took the tissue box on the dresser next to him, and smoked two and stuffed them into Ye Qingtang's hand.

　　Ye Qingtang took the paper and blew his nose.

　　Zhuang Yujin thought it was funny, smoked two more sheets, and took the trash can again.

　　Ye Qingtang wiped his tears and blew his nose again, and used up almost half a pack of paper before he opened his mouth angrily, "Mom, I have a problem." ”

　　"Huh?"

　　"How did you know then that my dad was the one who could spend his life with you?"

　　"Hmmm... I really haven't thought about it, you made me think about it. ”

　　Ye Qingtang leaned her head over and leaned on her shoulder, she reached out and stroked her long curly hair and said, "It seems that after you were born." The year I gave birth to you, I suffered from very severe postpartum depression. Of course, at that time, this concept was not yet widespread, and all I knew was that I found it extremely difficult every day..."

　　"You didn't tell me much."

　　"It's all in the past, what to do." Zhuang Yujin said, "I was in a garment factory at that time, the factory was not good and closed down, and I was unemployed. No work, plus all the energy is focused on parenting, the whole person is very anxious, sleep is not good, and there is not enough milk. Your grandmother--my mother-in-law didn't understand how I was sick all the time, and said that other women were not so pretentious after giving birth. ”

　　“...... What do you say to the face? Grandma Ye Qingtang died early, and she was no longer too impressed with her people.

　　"I said it behind my back and in front of your father, but at that time the house was small, the sound insulation was not good, and I still heard it." Your father was very upset to hear this. But after all, it was his mother, and he was not good at saying anything, so on the grounds that the second elder was not in good health and did not want to continue to bother them, he took over the task of taking care of you after work. In order to give me a good night's sleep, he let me sleep in the master bedroom alone, set an alarm clock to wake up many times in the middle of the night to make a bottle for you, and went to work every day with two panda eyes, never complaining. And at that time, no matter who knew that you were drinking milk powder, they would definitely say that breast milk was good. Your dad was not convinced, weighed you every week, and found that you grew taller and taller than other breast-milked children, and he was very proud and deliberately showed off to others. ”

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, "How is he like this, so childish." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin also laughed, "Sometimes after work early, I don't need to give students evening self-study, when I go home and eat, he will hold you and take me for a walk by the river." He had an old-fashioned fool's machine, so he asked me to take it with me and go out and shoot something as I wanted. The photos taken are also an expense to be taken to a photo studio for processing. At that time, the family lived on the salary of his teacher, and he was already tight, so he submitted articles to the newspaper, wrote prose and poetry with tofu blocks, and the fee was specially saved to buy me film and print photos. I don't know how that period of particularly gloomy mood came to be, but when I returned to God, I had already come over. Later, when you were a little older, your father quit his job to go into business in order to have a better material life for the whole family and to support me to continue to devote himself to photography. Although he is not very business-minded, he is better than honesty, and he never treats his subordinates badly, so although he has lost some money, he has basically not planted too much heel. ”

　　Zhuang Yujin concluded: "That is during that time, I believe that he is a person who can live a lifetime, and when he encounters anything, he will not leave me alone. As you will know later, the most important quality of a man is a sense of responsibility. ”

　　Ye Qingtang let out a "hmm" sound.

　　Zhuang Yujin turned to look at her, "Now can you tell me about your lost love?" ”

　　“...... Not sure where to start. ”

　　"If it's a man who doesn't deserve it, just let him go." Didn't I always say that if you talk more about love and see what is unreliable, you will know what is reliable. Of course, you don't have to fall in love, you have your own career, although it seems that you can't make money at the moment..."

　　"Don't say this."

　　Zhuang Yujin laughed.

　　"Mother..." Ye Qingtang pressed his forehead against Zhuang Yujin's shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I am sad because I realize that he is worthy and reliable, but I don't seem to catch him, I messed things up." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin was stunned for a moment, "This is strange. You don't usually say, oh this person is so naïve, this person is so unreliable, how can this person be like this..."

　　Ye Qingtang laughed again, because Zhuang Yujin learned the tone of her usual voice to her, and in the imitation of Ye Qingtang, Ms. Zhuang won the first place, and she herself could only relegate to the second place.

　　"So I said, I messed up..." Ye Qingtang said, "Although I have talked about a lot of love, it seems that I have only accumulated a bunch of ineffective experience, and they can't support me to answer the question in front of me." ”

　　"This line of thinking is not right, how can the emotional thing be a problem." Don't you have a good relationship with Qingshu? Love and friendship are sometimes similar, throwing a papaya in return for Qiong Yao, sincerely being good to each other, forming a virtuous circle, such a relationship will last a long time. ”

　　Zhuang Yujin touched her head, "Of course, I can also see it, because those boys are all within your reach, you don't even need to pay anything, just tick the little finger, they will voluntarily pay tribute to you, in the relationship between the sexes, you are mostly the active superior." It's not bad, at least you won't get hurt, which is why I haven't interfered with you much. ”

　　Ye Qingtang nodded silently.

　　"There's no absolute screw-up to irreparable things, as long as you're willing to fight for and fix it."

　　Ye Qingtang nodded again.

　　Zhuang Yujin smiled and said, "So can you tell me now?" Who is that person? What do you know at work? ”

　　"You know him."

　　"Who?"

　　Ye Qingtang paused, "It should be sent as it should be." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin made a heart-warming gesture, "Scared me to death, I thought you were going to talk about Han Jun." ”

　　"Does the two words Han Jun and Reliable have a half-cent relationship?" Ye Qingtang looked up at her, "But aren't you surprised, you should be like sending it." ”

　　"It was a bit of a surprise, but it was fine, not outrageous. You were yesterday... Wasn't he in his car the day before yesterday? ”

　　Ye Qingtang's eyes widened, "You see? ”

　　"I didn't see you, and I saw his car." You went into the house with us on the front and back feet, who else could it be if he didn't send it? ”

　　Ye Qingtang recalled that he had fallen in love early, thinking that he had concealed it well, and as a result, Tianzhuang Yujin went to pick her up at the school gate, and the boy she had fallen in love with earlier pretended not to know her, but Zhuang Yujin smiled and squinted at people and greeted people, asking him if he wanted to come to the house to eat. She still remembered the boy's frightened face turned white.

　　She seemed to feel a little bit of the boy's mood at that time.

　　Zhuang Yujin said, "Lychee he sent you?" ”

　　“...... You don't have to remember it so well. ”

　　"When did you start talking, and how did I not realize it?"

　　"..."Admitting that it is okay to be in love, admitting to her mother that she does not have the courage yet, "We did not talk, it was date, the Western-style kind." ”

　　"So, you raised it with him further and he refused?"

　　“...... Turn. ”

　　"Then what else are you crying?" Zhuang Yujin felt strange.

　　"It's so complicated, one or two sentences are not clear - Mom, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep."

　　"Cross the river and tear down the bridge." Zhuang Yujin hit her a little, but he was not reluctant, "You have to find a way to solve your own affairs." ”

　　"Does my dad know?"

　　"He's not like I dare think about it."

　　"Can you keep it a secret for me for the time being?" I'm afraid he'll make a fuss. ”

　　"Got it." Zhuang Yujin stood up, "Hurry up and go to sleep." ”

　　"I should get up late tomorrow, don't call me for breakfast."

　　"Don't eat breakfast?" Only in the matter of eating breakfast, Ms. Zhuang behaved like a traditional parent.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "Thank you Mother." ”

　　After the door was closed, Ye Qingtang lay down on the bed.

　　She took the phone out of her pocket and clicked on WeChat.

　　Flipping down slightly, I saw the head of the black cat.

　　The finger hovered for a moment, and finally did not click for a while.

　　Ye Qingtang couldn't stay at home, so he went back to the venue to work on the morning of the second day, and he was busy alone all day, and he arranged some of the exhibits.

　　By the third, Wu Qingshu also came spontaneously, and also brought Lu Mao.

　　Just by looking at Lu Mao's silly appearance of unconsciously grinning at the corners of his mouth to his ears while he was working, he knew that these two people had been in cahoots for the past two days.

　　At noon, Ye Qingtang ordered a takeaway, and the three of them found a table to sit down to eat.

　　Ye Qingtang said to Lu Mao, "I want to ask you something. ”

　　"Sister Tang, you said."

　　"You know about your brother's blind date last night?"

　　"I know." Lu Mao had an expression of "You said I'm not sleepy", "My brother didn't go, he released Grandpa Ying's pigeon." Grandpa Ying's colleague, the woman's grandfather, of course, could not get off the stage, and he was so angry that he almost broke off relations with Grandpa Ying. So today my brother was escorted to the door by Grandpa Ying to bear the guilt of Jingjing. ”

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned for a moment and confirmed again, "... He didn't go on a blind date? ”

　　"How could he possibly go, didn't he keep chasing you?"

　　Ye Qingtang pursed his lips and stopped talking.

　　After taking two bites of food and losing her appetite, she stood up and said that she was going to go to the bathroom, quietly walked to the back window, and sniffed her nose in the cold wind through the hall.

Chapter 29 -29 - Happy New Year

　　The fourteenth day is the last day before the launch, and it is clear that everything is carried out according to the schedule one by one, but when it comes to carrying out, there are still a lot of tedious details that have not been done.

　　Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu led the staff and interns to check and fill in the gaps, and spent a busy morning.

　　At lunchtime, Ye Qingtang greeted Wu Qingshu and said that he was going out for a trip, and he might come back in an hour or so.

　　"Something called me." Ye Qingtang took his bag and left in a hurry without waiting for Wu Qingshu to say anything more.

　　"This is where to go." Wu Qingshu muttered.

　　Lu Mao, who was beside her, answered her doubts: "Maybe I went to my brother." Today is his birthday. ”

　　Ye Qingtang drove to the office building where the LAB was located, found a place to park the car, and took down the gift bag placed in the back seat.

　　She found a place at a nearby Starbucks, and then sent Shen Fei a WeChat message: Hello Hello.

　　Shen Fei sent a cat probe emoji.

　　Ye Qingtang: Sorry to bother, is Teacher Ying in the company today? ”

　　Shen Fei: Yes.

　　Ye Qingtang: Is he busy?

　　Shen Fei: There is no arrangement today, it should not be busy.

　　Ye Qingtang: Thank you. Then I'll talk to him directly.

　　Ye Qingtang took a breath, found the black cat head from the list, and clicked in.

　　A sentence was typed and deleted in the dialog box, deleted and typed, and finally closed his eyes and clicked Send.

　　Should be sent to review the drawings, WeChat prompt sound, he subconsciously picked up the phone, face unlocked directly after the WeChat interface was not closed before.

　　He glanced casually, his fingers on the red dot that floated to the top, and he paused, realized who it was, and glanced at it again.

　　In contrast to the serious and unscentive WeChat name of "yqt", her head is a moon hare with three white eyes.

　　After a long time, I felt that this portrait was inexplicably compatible with herself, so that it seemed to have become part of her image.

　　After a pause, the sender should open the avatar.

　　Ye Qingtang: Is there any time for Teacher Ying?

　　Ye Qingtang: I'm at starbucks downstairs, can I delay you a little, can you have a cup of coffee?

　　You should be holding the phone and tapping your finger on the dialog box.

　　The green cursor flashes for a long time.

　　He vaguely remembered, as if joking with whom he had stood up a flag who invited him for coffee during the day, and he must have agreed.

　　Halfway through, he clicked on the keyboard to reply.

　　The mobile phone was squeezed by Ye Qingtang in her hand, and when the new news jumped out, her heart also beat too fast.

　　Should be sent as: Thank you Miss Ye for your kindness. I'll have a meeting later, I'm afraid I won't have time. Excuse me.

　　Even punctuation exudes a sense of decency, politeness, and alienation.

　　To say not to be disappointed was to delude herself, although the result had been expected by her.

　　A moment later, Ye Qingtang sent a message to Shen Fei again.

　　Less than ten minutes later, starbucks doors were pushed open, and Shen Fei, dressed in a suit and wearing a long white down jacket, walked in.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and waved at her.

　　Shen Fei walked to the opposite side of her, and Ye Qingtang handed her the gift bag, "Trouble Miss Shen to help me hand it over." ”

　　"No problem. Do I need to bring any words? ”

　　"No, I wrote a greeting card."

　　Shen Feibi has an "OK" gesture.

　　"And this." Ye Qingtang handed over the hot coffee that had been packed, "Hot hazelnut latte, please drink it." ”

　　Shen Fei smiled, "Thank you." Hello sweet. ”

　　When Shen Fei pushed open the door, Ying Ruyu was getting up and preparing to go to dinner.

　　She handed over a white gift bag, smiled and said, "Mr. Ying, someone asked me to help hand it over." Happy birthday to you. ”

　　Ying Ruyu took a look at it and reached out to take it.

　　After the office door is closed, you should open the gift bag as if you wanted to, out of the psychology of verifying your own conjecture.

　　really.

　　There were three things in there.

　　An A5-sized horizontal loose-leaf book, one ticket, one greeting card.

　　He opened the loose-leaf book first.

　　The paper is thick, and the pages are more like cardboard, and on them are drawings with syringe pens and colored markers. Turning two pages, realizing that it was a continuous story, Fang turned back to the first page.

　　A little girl in a red dress found a beautiful place on the hillside, so she began to measure, cut wood, drive an excavator to level the land, build foundations, build walls, cover tiles, paint, plant trees and flowers...

　　Each picture is a demonstration of each of these steps, until the penultimate page is turned, and the whole appearance of the house is revealed.

　　Ying Ru raised his hand, lightly supported his forehead, and looked at this picture in shock:

　　A small courtyard surrounds a row of white-walled black-tiled houses, with stools made of crooked tree roots, and morning glory flowers crawling on the low walls.

　　In addition, there are many new contents that have been "added", a stone basin for roasting fires, a large water tank placed in the shade of a tree, two or three large white geese, and a black cat sleeping in a circle under the eaves of the doorway.

　　As for the little girl in the red dress who built the house, it is not in this picture.

　　She was alone on the last page, sleeping on her back on a grassy hillside, with a yellow hard hat rolling down her hand.

　　At the bottom of this picture, two lines of red lead are written:

　　Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her. And I was too young to even know how to love her. ）

　　Happy birthday to Lawrence.

　　After a while, I closed the book and went to see the greeting card.

　　Her handwriting is very clear, very characteristic slightly to the left - dumped.

　　【Teacher Ying:

　　ABP's book fair introduces more books and interactive activities, and on January 18th at 3 pm, there will be a live signing of a famous architectural photographer, if you are interested, welcome to visit the exhibition.

　　PS. Happy Birthday.

　　Qingtang】

　　Finally, that ticket is naturally the ticket to the book fair.

　　You should close the greeting card, open it again for a moment, take a look at it, and then close it again.

　　Slipped the ticket into the card, put it back in the gift bag along with the book, held it in his hand, and walked to the office door.

　　·

　　Ye Qingtang waited in line for a meal at a KFC not far from Starbucks.

　　Shen Fei sent a message on WeChat: Miss Ye, are you still in Starbucks?

　　Ye Qingtang replied that he was nearby.

　　Shen Fei: I'm really sorry, things should always not be collected. Can you trouble Miss Ye to wait for me for a while, I'll come to you.

　　Ye Qingtang was stunned for a moment, bit his lip lightly, and replied to Shen Fei: Trouble Miss Shen is waiting at the downstairs gate of your company, I will come to you immediately.

　　Ye Qingtang carried a takeaway burger and Coke and bumped into Shen Fei at the door of the office building.

　　Shen Fei was very sorry, "I'm sorry. Ying always said that the gifts sent by Miss Ye were too expensive, and he was uneasy about them, and he did not want to owe Miss Ye a favor that was not good to repay, so..."

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "It's all right." It's just bothering you. ”

　　She reached for the gift bag and brought it back.

　　"No hassle, it's a matter of convenience."

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Then I won't continue to delay your time." ”

　　Ye Qingtang found his car in the underground garage and casually put the packed food aside.

　　She looked down at the gift bag on her knee, took out the hand-drawn book inside, flipped it over, and sighed.

　　-

　　The two-week book fair came to an end.

　　Late at night, the Nancheng Art Museum has a kind of prosperity after the end of the fall.

　　Ye Qingtang stepped on the flip-flop ladder and removed the huge spray poster on the wall, and Wu Qingshu held the ladder for her below.

　　"Qing Shu, whose house did you go to this Year's Eve?" Or your grandmother?' ”

　　"Why don't you go to my dad's place and see the big and the little one?" Wu Qingshu said lightly.

　　Lu Mao, who was dismantling the truss with the workers, smiled and answered: "You can come to my house." ”

　　Wu Qingshu rolled his eyes.

　　Ye Qingtang asked, "By the way, Lu Mao, will your brother be with you during the New Year?" ”

　　"He usually only lives with Grandpa Ying. You should know that uncle Ying and my mother restructured their families after divorcing each other, and he would be a little uncomfortable with which side he lived. ”

　　"Although you are half-siblings, your relationship seems to be quite good."

　　Lu Mao smiled helplessly and said, "After all, he is a comrade-in-arms who has the same disease." ”

　　"What do you say?"

　　"My mother's character... Forget it, it's not easy to tell outsiders. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "Qingshu or an outsider?" ”

　　"Sister Qingshu is certainly not an outsider." Lu Mao said busily, "But I'm afraid that if I expose the ugliness of the family so quickly, Sister Qingshu will be scared away." ”

　　Wu Qingshu glanced at him, "Do you have a good job, where is so much nonsense." ”

　　Busy until midnight, less than half will be demolished.

　　Wu Qingshu left in Ye Qingtang's car, and on the way, Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu talked about the work arrangements for the new year.

　　"Qing Shu, I think we will recruit one or two more professional curators to help us implement the implementation level, and we can also be a little liberated to control the general direction of topic selection and selection."

　　Wu Qingshu said, "I think the same thing. If we continue to expand, we alone will not be able to keep busy. ”

　　Ye Qingtang said: "In the next year, I will go to run again to pull the sponsorship matter." Then, I might have to go abroad. ”

　　Wu Qingshu turned his head to look at her, "Where to go?" United States? Richmond? ”

　　"The main purpose is not this. But I'll stop by for a visit. ”

　　"Actually, you should have gone when he got married last year."

　　Ye Qingtang was silent for a moment, "Yes." ”

　　The car stopped at the door of the community where Wu Qingshu lived, and before she got out of the car, Ye Qingtang said: "Come to my house to play during the Spring Festival." ”

　　"Are you responsible for the transfer?"

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "Can there be a reason not to serve the princess?" ”

　　-

　　Every New Year' day, it is difficult to see Ye Chengyin's people, businessmen have a bunch of partnerships to maintain, and they are socializing continuously year after year.

　　Ye Qingtang is not idle, to check the list, to the publishers, editors, authors and designers who have been cooperating send PR gift boxes.

　　In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

　　After eating Chinese New Year's Eve meal, Ye Chengyin said that Jiangbei was going to set off fireworks and asked them if they would go to see it.

　　Ye Qingtang was momentarily embarrassed. Don't get into a car

　　By the time he returned to God, Zhuang Yujin was already discussing with him what time to go out.

　　By 10:30 p.m., the family of three set off by car.

　　Ye Qingtang was dressed in plush, nestled in the back seat of the car, and when he crossed the bridge, fireworks suddenly burst out on the other side.

　　"It's already twelve o'clock?" Ye Qingtang asked.

　　"Eleven o'clock. It starts at eleven o'clock and has a wave every half hour. Ye Chengyin replied.

　　Ye Qingtang did not speak again, and his forehead rested against the window glass of the car.

　　The fireworks were cast in her pupils, rising, blooming, and falling silently.

　　Ye Qingtang took out his mobile phone.

　　Stared at the black cat avatar at the top for a moment, clicked in, and sent a message: Happy New Year.

　　The message did not receive a reply until after midnight.

　　Four words like her: Happy New Year.

　　Ye Qingtang still wanted to say something, and even selected the small video of the fireworks display in the photo album, but at the last moment, he gave up clicking on the send button.

　　-

　　The day when the Tea Culture Museum broke ground was selected on the second day of the first month of February, and the picture was a good color head for the dragon to look up.

　　Ye Qingtang's visa had already come down, and he was going to leave, but he stayed for another week, and he wanted to wait for the construction to start.

　　Ye Chengyin dressed particularly formally on this day, saying that the leaders of the district would also participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, and there were people from the TV station who went to shoot the interview.

　　Ye Qingtang naturally had to go with him.

　　The battle was far more solemn than Ye Qingtang imagined, and the venue was emptied and set up a small stage paved with a red carpet, and behind it stood a red display board four or five meters wide, on which two lines of large characters were printed: XX District Health Care Key Demonstration Project and XX Town Tea Culture Museum Groundbreaking Ceremony."

　　Several excavators and loaders were lined up on both sides of the venue, and dozens of workers with fluorescent vests under the stage were lined up.

　　Not long after Ye Chengyin arrived, he was shouted at by the people of the ceremony preparation team.

　　Zhuang Yujin took a picture with his camera, while Ye Qingtang's eyes were full of eyes, and finally, at the tea reception set up in the corner of the venue, he saw the familiar figure.

　　He stood with Sun Miao and Yao Hui, dressed in white and black pants, and dressed the same as the leaders of several suspected districts who were talking to him.

　　The cold of spring in early March does not decrease, and wearing a shirt alone seems to be a little thin, especially on the half slope of the suburbs, which shows that he has a sense of purity.

　　After that, the media and leaders were in place one by one, and the groundbreaking ceremony officially began.

　　Ye Chengyin and Ying Rujie took the stage with those leaders, and after the leaders of the district, the construction contracting unit, and the supervision unit spoke one by one, everyone went to the front of the stage, and one of them took a shovel tied with a large red silk and red flower, and each shoveled a shovel of soil, covering the "foundation laying" sign in the middle that was also decorated with red silk and red flowers.

　　At this point, the groundbreaking ceremony is basically over.

　　Ying Ruyu was stopped by several reporters for an interview, and after communicating with several leaders for a while, he walked toward the tea place.

　　When the time comes, the footsteps are a bit.

　　Ye Qingtang wears a printed dress with light green and pink leaves on a white background, and a loosely knit coat of off-white.

　　It was barren mud near and far, and the trees had just sprouted, and only bare branches were visible.

　　Only she, like the only spring light in the early spring, was all worn on her body.

　　She was holding a white paper cup in both hands, holding it to her mouth, and gently sipped the faint heat that swirled above.

　　The look of trance seemed to be wandering.

　　For a moment, as if she had noticed something, she turned her head suddenly.

　　Looking at each other, her gaze only stayed on his face for less than a second, and then she smiled and asked, "Do you want to drink tea?" ”

　　She lowered her head and put down the paper cup in her hand, and then took a clean one from the stack of paper cups on the side, unscrewed the small tap of the large stainless steel tea barrel, took a cup of hot tea, and handed it to him.

　　After a pause, Ying Ruyu reached out and took it, and said in a flat voice, "Thank you." ”

Chapter 30 -30- Wait for Me [First Change]...

　　Before the meeting, I imagined a hundred opening sentences, but I didn't expect that when I really faced each other, her mind would be like singing half of the record, and the second half of the digital information was completely erased, leaving only a blank.

　　Instinctively, he uttered the phrase "Drink tea" and had to complete a full set of tea pouring actions to ease the embarrassment.

　　Ye Qingtang glanced at Ying Ruyu, who was drinking tea, and then brought her own half cup of tea, she sipped the tea level to regain her mood, and was quickly thinking about how to open her mouth politely without being too polite.

　　Before the answer could be found, the silence had been broken—Sun Miao ran over with a wave of her hand shouting her name.

　　"I haven't seen Qingtang for a long time!"

　　"I haven't seen you in a long time."

　　Ye Qingtang inexplicably put down her cup again, and transformed into a tea girl again, she poured a cup for Sun Miao, and also poured a cup for Yao Hui who followed.

　　Sun Miao's long-sleeved T-shirt was covered with a charge jacket, as if he had been blown silly by the wind on this half slope, and he sighed contentedly after drinking hot tea.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "You have worked hard." ”

　　"After a year of preparation, construction has finally begun." Sun Miao sighed.

　　"Hmmm... It's been a year. Ye Qingtang couldn't help but sigh.

　　Ying Ruyu's gaze fell on her face as light as smoke for a moment.

　　"Will you come back often?" Ye Qingtang asked.

　　"Our design unit will generally dock with the supervisor about the follow-up construction, but it will still come over when it encounters major nodes and special circumstances." Sun Miao said.

　　"How long will it take?"

　　"The estimated construction period is eight months, but in case of extreme weather, work is generally stopped."

　　Ye Qingtang listened and walked away, because she caught a glimpse of Ying Ruyu putting down the paper cup, as if she was ready to leave.

　　She anxiously bit the edge of the paper cup.

　　Before Ying Ruyu could turn around, she suddenly shouted, "Teacher Ying." ”

　　You should ask her with a calm gaze, what's the matter?

　　"Wait for me."

　　Ye Qingtang put down the paper cup and trotted toward Zhuang Yujin, who was not far away, who was accompanying Ye Chengyin to talk with the leaders of the district, took back from her hand his backpack that had just been handed over to her for safekeeping, and ran back a few steps.

　　She opened her backpack, pulled out a wide stack of Polaroid photographs and a black signature pen from it, picked out a few, wrote today's date on the bottom, and then distributed them to Sun Miao and Yao Hui in turn.

　　"I just took a random photo and gave it to you as a souvenir — as a bookmark."

　　The one that Sun Miao got was exactly the back of her and Yao Hui's ear, and she smiled sheepishly, "Thank you." You are really attentive. ”

　　Finally, Ye Qingtang stopped moving, looked up, and then took two steps towards Ying Ruyu and handed him the remaining few sheets.

　　Ying Ru raised her hand to take it, and when she looked down, she noticed that her fingers were stained with a little ink from the signature pen.

　　He took the photo in his hand, did not look at it, only glanced at Sun Miao, not salty or light, and said: "Still want to chat?" Time to go. ”

　　Sun Miao immediately put away the photo and put it in his pocket, posing as if he were ready to go.

　　Ying Ruyu looked at Ye Qingtang again, bowed his head lightly as a gesture, and then left with the two of them.

　　Ye Qingtang refilled himself with a cup of hot tea, drank two sips, put it down, took out Patrick, and held it up in front of him.

　　With a "click", the photo paper pops up.

　　She covered the photo paper with a slightly hot palm, and for a moment, the shadow slowly appeared on it, fixing a clear and lush back.

　　Sun Miao followed Ying Ruyu and asked with a smile, "Teacher Ying, what are the photos that Miss Ye gave you?" Can you show me? ”

　　Ying Ru said lightly, "You don't have it yourself?" ”

　　Sun Miao only dared to whisper, "It's different." ”

　　You should sit in the back row as usual.

　　He elbowed the edge of the window, glanced out, and easily caught the light blue and light red figure.

　　The car starts and withdraws its gaze.

　　Reaching out and pulling the three photographs out of his trouser pockets, he looked down.

　　One is a flower bud that bulged out of a peach tree early; one is a large yellow dog that enters the venue and sniffs the heels of a leader; and one is a long red mascot on both sides of the entrance inflatable arch, which is being twisted into a ghost animal posture by the blower.

　　Ying Ru couldn't help but smile.

　　What a mess.

　　-

　　In mid-April, Ye Qingtang returned to China with two large boxes full of books bought for himself, as well as luxury goods and cosmetics for Wu Qingshu, Sun Miao and Shen Fei.

　　When I got home, I rested for a day and sorted things out.

　　First went to the studio, gave her what Wu Qingshu wanted, and then distributed souvenirs to the employees.

　　By noon, Ye Qingtang took what she had given to Sun Miao and Shen Fei and couldn't wait to drive to the LAB's office building.

　　Ye Qingtang registered at the front desk and was taken into the office by Shen Fei.

　　Sun Miao was already waiting in the reception room.

　　Ye Qingtang handed them the two bags with labels written on them, "Count if anything is missing, the receipt and tax refund form are also inside." ”

　　Ye Qingtang sat down on the sofa, unscrewed the small bottle of mineral water on the table and took a sip, and casually asked, "Is Teacher Ying in the company today?" ”

　　"Oh, no coincidence." Shen Fei said, "Ying Zong, a senior in the industry who worked in the United States, died two days ago, and he went to the other party's hometown to mourn. ”

　　“...... The day before yesterday, the architect who forwarded the obituary to the teacher's circle of friends? ”

　　"Yes. When Mr. Ying was an intern, he worked on a public library in Cincinnati that he led. Their undergraduate degree is a school, so it can be regarded as a teacher-brother relationship. ”

　　"How many days will you go?"

　　"Not good."

　　Ye Qingtang nodded and said nothing more.

　　After a while, she took the tote bag on the side, rummaged through it for a moment, found a stack of Polaroid photos, and handed it to Shen Fei, "When Teacher Ying returns, trouble Sister Fei will help me hand it over to him." ”

　　Shen Fei took a look at it, a little surprised, "Good. ”

　　-

　　Should be sent late at night to arrive in the south city, after arriving home some insomnia, always can not sleep, simply got up to go to the living room, turn on the TV, want to watch something, and did not have a very strong idea, then continued to see half of the last time I saw half of the "Big River".

　　He lay down on his back, resting on his arm.

　　The living room lights are not turned on, the light of the TV is turned off from time to time, and the sound of dialogue creates some false hilarity.

　　The next morning, after washing up, I went to the studio normally.

　　After the morning meeting, go back to the office.

　　Shen Fei brought coffee and an envelope.

　　She still smiled very professionally but seemed to have a deep meaning, "Someone entrusted me to hand it over." ”

　　After the door is closed, you should open the envelope and take out the contents.

　　A dozen or so photographs of Li Lide, familiar and slightly left-leaning handwriting, indicating that the shooting date was March 20.

　　When you see the contents of the photo, you should be afraid to send it for a while.

　　The public library in Cincinnati.

　　He opened them one by one.

　　The angle of her photograph is always so tricky, always paying attention to the corners that ordinary people will not notice.

　　The last of this stack of photographs is on the basement floor of the library, on the back of the aristotle sculpture base, engraved with the names of all the people involved in the design work, led by his brother. His name was in the last row.

　　After the completion of the library, it should be sent to visit, but it is not meticulous enough not to miss any place -

　　The words on this pedestal were the first time he had seen them.

　　Ying Ruyu took out his mobile phone and retook this photo.

　　It is then sent to the circle of friends with the text "RIP".

　　He swept through the messages piled up in the past few days, and when he was about to quit the circle of friends, he noticed that the one he had just sent had an extra like from Ye Qingtang.

　　After a pause, he returned to the chat interface, searched out Ye Qingtang from the address book, and sent her a message: Using your photo. Want to find you to make up for a license.

　　Ye Qingtang replied in seconds: It's all right. Use as you like. That's already given to you.

　　Ying Ru thought about it and only replied thank you.

　　Ye Qingtang did not reply again.

　　You should put down your mobile phone, look at all the photos again, put them back in an envelope, and put into your daily work.

　　The phone screen lights up.

　　Picking it up, it was Ye Qingtang who sent a new message: Is Teacher Ying free tonight? If you can meet, I have something to say to you. ”

　　Reply: Sorry, I may not be available today. I had a meeting in the afternoon, and I had dinner with a peer in the evening, not sure when it would end.

　　Ye Qingtang: It can end at any time, it doesn't matter if it's late.

　　Should send a final reply: Good.

Chapter 31 -31 - Unless you kiss me now

　　A colleague who had dinner together, who had returned from Germany to attend the funeral of his brother, took the southern city to the northern city to transfer, and should be sent to serve with Chu Yu.

　　A meal was eaten from six o'clock to ten o'clock, Chu Yu sent someone to send it to the hotel to rest, and if it was sent, he sent a WeChat message to Ye Qingtang, telling her that her side was over and she wanted to meet somewhere.

　　Ye Qingtang replied that she was talking to people in a mustard bookstore and asked him where he was.

　　The place where Ying Ru was sent to eat was not far from the Mustard Bookstore, about two kilometers away, so he told her to wait there, and he also happened to go over and say hello to Tang Gong.

　　The mustard bookstore at night is a different style, the pale yellow light is like the moonlight, both soft and warm.

　　Ying Ruyu walked to the second hall, but saw Ye Qingtang sitting on the wooden steps in the doorway, Tang Wangqian sitting on the rocking chair opposite, the small stove boiling hot water, and the wooden bench with a tea set.

　　After a greeting, Tang Wangqian also asked about the death of the architect and designer, and called Ying Ru to send mourning.

　　After they had a small talk, Ye Qingtang smiled and asked Tang Wangqian if she could borrow the main hall, which was quiet, and she wanted to talk to Ying Ru about something.

　　Tang Wangqian told them to go their own way, "When you leave, you can just say to the door and tell someone to lock the door--I am older, and I can't rest than you young people." ”

　　Ye Qingtang thanked Tang Wangqian again.

　　Standing up and taking the bag on the side, Ye Qingtang looked at Ying Ruyu, smiled and said, "Let's go?" ”

　　They entered the door of the self-contained pavilion, and the induction top light lit up instantly, sprinkling a pale white light.

　　The two climbed up the gentle and wide cement stairs, and Ying Ru asked, "Talk to Mr. Tang About cooperation again?" ”

　　"No, I saw the original copy of an ancient book in a state library in the United States a while ago, and sent a message to Mr. Tang's assistant to ask if he had a collection. It happened to be the missing copy of Mr. Tang's set of books, so I helped photocopy a copy and brought it back. In addition, Mr. Tang had a friend who wanted to invest in our book fair, so he made an appointment to eat and discuss here in the evening. ”

　　Ye Qingtang explained more, "Of course, I also want to cooperate with Yi mustard book house, but now the scale of the book fair is expanding every session, and the capacity of the mustard book house is limited, and I am afraid that more than a certain number will cause damage to the venue." ”

　　Ying Ru turned his head and looked at her.

　　She rested her palm on the armrest on the outside and slowly stepped upwards.

　　In the empty stadium, only their gentle footsteps were heard.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled slightly and said, "I thought you would still not agree to meet me." ”

　　Ying Ru sent only a flat voice, "I received the photos you sent - I didn't expect you to go to Cincinnati." ”

　　"I've been to a lot of places." Ye Qingtang paused slightly, turned his head to look at him, and for a moment, he withdrew his gaze again.

　　Unconsciously, I had reached the third floor, an empty platform, where a lone bench was placed, and on the opposite side of the bench, an irregular quadrilateral window, looking out was a clear moon.

　　Ye Qingtang stood still and looked at it for a while, sat down on the bench, and smiled and asked Ying Ruyu: "Come and sit down?" ”

　　Should be sent to the past.

　　They sat side by side, separated by an empty seat, with Ye Qingtang's bag in the middle.

　　Ye Qingtang put his hands on his knees and looked down slightly.

　　After a moment of silence, she seemed to have made up her mind, and then said, "I went to Richmond and met with Lin Muyong." ”

　　"I said..."

　　"Please," Ye Qingtang interrupted him, raising his head and looking earnestly at him, "listen to me, it won't be very long, believe me." ”

　　Should be sent as if not again out loud.

　　Ye Qingtang continued: "His wife was in the pot last November, the child is four months old, it is a girl. I had dinner at their house and gave them a bottle of wine as a souvenir. The whole process was very, very pleasant. I envisioned if I might have the slightest bit of loss, but no, not at all. ”

　　Should be sent just quietly listening.

　　"I met him in my junior year. At that time, it happened that he lived downstairs from our apartment, because they were all oriental faces, and they were familiar with each other a few times in the elevator. Once our apartment was disconnected, and it was just the end of the period in the rush to ddl, Qingshu and I rushed down to knock on the door and rub the net, and then came and went, and gradually became acquainted. He was older than us, and he was a teacher at an adjacent university, so he took care of us a lot. I was also in the process and realized that I liked him..."

　　Ying Ruyu changed his sitting position, bent slightly, his arms propped on his knees, and stared at a small piece of cement in front of him.

　　"He is very different from the men I have met before, very introverted and taciturn, with his own persistent career and ideals, never frivolous, never follow the tide." It seems that by his side, I will also become quiet. I deliberately cultivate common preferences with him, such as reading obscure and heavy non-fiction literature, such as listening to hypnotic cellos, such as trying to start writing some clumsy words, and taking the opportunity of asking him for advice to be alone with him. He never doubted my intentions, only when I was an avid student who generously taught me. And just as I was about to confess to him, I learned that the reason why he had been single was because he was waiting for his first girlfriend, Sienna, to turn back. And Sienna is the kind of woman who is born to like serious literature and classical music, quiet, introverted and hard-disciplined. Their souls are 100 percent in tune. ”

　　Ye Qingtang's voice was very peaceful, "When I spent so long liking one person, even at the expense of transforming myself into another person, but I didn't get any response, he became a kind of uneasy peace." ”

　　After taking a deep breath, she continued, "... And the moment I saw you, I thought, is this an opportunity to fulfill my long-cherished wish. ”

　　The corners of the mouth should be tightened as if they were sent.

　　“...... But in fact, I couldn't fool myself in the beginning, because you are completely different people, just like apples and tomatoes are red, and no one will get them wrong. Moreover, I am the real me with you— yes, I don't love classical music at all, I like Kpop, I like rock, I like electronic music, I like all the noisy things; I don't like to read too many books, I like picture books and albums; I am not quiet and introverted, I am frivolous and superficial, obedient and enjoy desire- desire. With you, I am free to be myself, because only you have seen the most despicable and frank side of me. ”

　　Ying Ruyu squinted his gaze slightly and saw Ye Qingtang tightly grasping the hand that was placed on his knee.

　　“...... I'm sorry I hurt you so willfully and with hindsight. Because of past experience, I wanted to get anything too easily, and naturally I didn't feel sorry when I lost it. The existence of Lin Muyong made me experience a completely different kind of bitterness and hatred, but it was only a self-touching in the concept, because it was too bitter, so it continued to push me to the extreme of pursuing only superficial happiness for a while. ”

　　Ying Ru sent a voice, "... Are you defending your thesis or do you want to apologize to me? If it was the latter, I would have forgiven you that day. ”

　　"No..." Ye Qingtang looked up and turned his gaze to him, "I'm here to confess to you." More than three months have passed since January 1st to today, April 18th, and I can tell you with certainty..."

　　She paused, and even her voice suddenly stumbled, "I..."

　　The phone in the bag suddenly rang.

　　Ye Qingtang was so frightened that his voice suddenly stopped.

　　She hurriedly reached for it, but the bag that was standing on the shelf fell straight forward, and the contents of the open tote bag slipped out scatteredly.

　　She quickly got up, crouched down to pick up the phone, and refused to answer the phone.

　　Ying Ruyu also bent down to help pick up things, he picked up a transparent document bag that had fallen farthest, handed it to her, and paused again.

　　The bag was full of photos of Polaroid, and just by looking at it, he found that it was all buildings, and they were all buildings that he had participated in or presided over the design of since he was engaged in the industry.

　　"This is?"

　　Ye Qingtang hurriedly rushed over, hid in his arms, hugged his knees, and pressed his body tightly.

　　She visibly became flustered.

　　“...... Went to a lot of places? "It should be like sending thoughts of what she said."

　　And Ye Qingtang did not squeak, and the brush from the cheek to the earlobe was red.

　　No wonder he said how she happened to go to the library in Cincinnati, where it turned out she was a "holy land tour."

　　"Not for me?" It should be asked as asked.

　　"..." Ye Qingtang took out another bulging file bag from his bag and whispered, "... This is for you. The moment I take each photo is the moment I want to send WeChat to share with you. ”

　　Ying Ru took it, looked through the plastic file bag at the top of the photo, and sure enough, it was exactly the same style as the "mess" she shared with him on the day the construction began.

　　"If you don't like it, you can throw it in the trash, but don't give it back to me." Don't give me anything back..." Ye Qingtang said softly.

　　She maintained the awkward posture of protecting the building photos, picked up the rest of the underground, and stuffed it into her bag.

　　Ying Ru reached out to her and tried to pull her up.

　　She paused, handed over her hand, but grabbed his fingers, and then buried her whole face in her knees, making her voice quieter.

　　He felt that the whole space was quiet for two minutes, becoming precarious, and a slightly heavier breath could collapse at any time. He had to hold his breath slightly.

　　"It should be sent as ... I like you a lot. ”

　　“...... No. For a moment, she denied herself again in a trembling voice.

　　There was another pause before he spoke solemnly.

　　“...... I love you. ”

　　These inaudible sounds, trembling tail notes seemed to pass from her fingers to his fingertips, and then to the heart through the rushing blood.

　　Ying Ruyu breathed slowly, and for a moment, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Do you want to sit up first?" ”

　　With a slight squeeze of his fingers, Ye Qingtang stood up, then took two steps back, hugged the dusty bag, and sat down on the bench.

　　She hung her head low, her earlobes red, and it seemed that if she got a little closer, she would feel the heat.

　　"Qingtang." Ying Ru whispered, "Whether you have thought about it or not, I will not necessarily accept it." ”

　　“...... Of course. It's your right. I just want to tell you how I feel..."

　　"If I don't accept it, will it become another one of your grievances?"

　　"..." Ye Qingtang was silent for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard an ancient poem?" The rivers and mountains are full of empty thoughts, and the falling flowers and rain hurt the spring even more, so it is better to pity the people in front of you. I don't like this verse. ”

　　"Why?"

　　"Because it's not right. It seems that because he can't catch the rivers and mountains and spring, he retreats to choose the person in front of him. ”

　　“...... You're the first to say that. ”

　　"You're also the first person I've ever said, 'I love you.'"

　　“...... You seem to have answered a little bit. ”

　　"I didn't." Her slightly damp voice carried some unspeakable sense of grievance.

　　After a long silence, Ying Ruyu spoke again, "A lot of things have happened in the past week, and I will travel again tomorrow morning." I want to think about it and tell you my answer when I'm back. ”

　　"Okay."

　　"You seem to have said that you cannot accept delayed gratification. ”

　　“...... All I know is that my current mood is not a desire for a glass of orange soda. ”

　　"What's that?"

　　“...... I do not know. Ye Qingtang twitched his nose softly and as quietly as possible.

　　After a moment of silence, Ying Ruyu raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's not early, let's go back first." ”

　　“...... You go first, and I'll sit for a little while. ”

　　"Someone may come and lock the door in a moment."

　　"I know."

　　Ying Ruyu stood up, paused for a moment, and looked down at her, her head bowed deeply, so that he could only see her eyelashes fluttering like moth wings.

　　"One last question." It should be sent as it is said.

　　"Huh?"

　　"Why don't you paint the little girl in the yard she built?"

　　“...... Because she's waiting for you to invite her in. ”

　　Ye Qingtang believed that if she stayed one more second, she would not be able to resist and couldn't help but urge, "... You go back first, not tomorrow morning for business. ”

　　Ying Ru pinched the bag of very heavy photos, "Then I'll go first." ”

　　"Hmm."

　　The footsteps sounded, and then he walked away unhurriedly until he disappeared completely downstairs.

　　Ye Qingtang's tears also rolled down in large pieces.

　　The whole space is empty and quiet.

　　The moon in the window had also fallen obliquely.

　　It's not that the worst-case scenario has not been envisaged in advance, and perhaps the current situation is not the worst at all.

　　But the pain was even deeper than she expected, so that she could only hold her hands tightly so that she could control not crying too loudly.

　　It's too quiet here.

　　I don't know how long it took, but a slightly heavier footstep echoed downstairs.

　　Ye Qingtang hurriedly cleared his throat and said loudly, "Sorry, I will leave immediately, without delaying you from closing the museum and locking the door..."

　　No one answered, but the footsteps did not stop.

　　Until I went up to the third floor and stopped in front of her.

　　Ye Qingtang looked up slightly in shock and saw the tip of the leather shoe.

　　She didn't even dare to raise her eyes a little, for fear that it wasn't him.

　　“...... How did you come back. She asked in a muffled voice.

　　A familiar and clear voice, "I thought, the first time you cried for me, how could I miss it." ”

　　“...... Not for the first time. Ye Qingtang's throat was another stalk.

　　"Isn't it?"

　　"Hmm."

　　"Then you need to cry in front of my face to be useful..." Ying Ruyu's tone seemed to be a little distressed, "You see, I'm soft again." ”

　　Ye Qingtang looked up in surprise.

　　Ying Ruyu took another step forward, "Did you bring your camera?" ”

　　“...... Well. Ye Qingtang nodded inexplicably, and reached out from her bag to take out the PatIle that had been with her.

　　Ying Ru took it, pointed the camera directly at her, and pressed the shutter.

　　The expression of surprise and tears froze on her pale and beautiful face, and also in the photo paper that gradually appeared in his hand.

　　He put down the camera, squeezed the "incriminating evidence", leaned over, lifted her up, and directly told her to step on the bench.

　　“...... Dirty. ”

　　"It's okay, the chair was meant to be stepped on."

　　“...... You explain it to Mr. Tang yourself. Ye Qingtang smirked, and at the same time, there were still transparent teardrops that were still condensed on the eyelashes.

　　Her presence, in procedural terms, is a "bug."

　　When you laugh, your soul is throbbing, and when you cry, your heart is broken.

　　"It should be sent as..."

　　"Huh?"

　　“...... How can you be so good. ”

　　"I'm not very good either, but because you're so bad, I can still get by."

　　"Do you like bad women?"

　　"I like you."

　　"Then you are now... Is it my boyfriend?

　　"Or else?"

　　"I don't believe it unless you kiss me now."

　　Ying Ruyu reached out, palms on the side of her face, raised her head, she looked at him so closely, her eyebrows like the mountains after the snow.

　　Immediately, a slightly bitter aroma lingered on the end of her nose, while a warm touch landed on her lips. Her arms wrapped tightly around the back of Ying Ruyu's neck, and this kiss also skipped all temptations and gradual steps, directly turning into a storm and a torrential rain.

　　The lungs are sore due to lack of oxygen.

　　She knew.

　　She was saved.

Chapter 32 -32- Girlfriend

　　The night seemed to be quiet for two minutes.

　　Of course, quiet may also be their gradually calming heartbeat.

　　"It's time to go." It should be sent as it is said.

　　But after the words fell, he embraced her lustfully for a while before he lifted her off the bench.

　　"Wait a minute." Ye Qingtang rummaged through the bag, found a pack of wet paper towels, and pulled out a sheet to carefully wipe off the footprints on the bench.

　　It should be like sending a chuckle.

　　"You're still laughing. Mr. Tang will never lend me the venue again after he knows it. ”

　　Ying Ru took the used wet paper towel in her hand and threw it into the trash can next to her.

　　Holding out her hand to her, she gladly handed five fingers and clasped them with him.

　　It should be sent as follows: "... I mean the bag for me to help you carry. ”

　　"Oh." She smiled and handed the bag to his other hand, "If you want to carry the bag, you have to hold it."

　　When he went downstairs, Ye Qingtang realized one thing with hindsight, "... What about that bag of photos I gave you? ”

　　He returned with his hands empty, and now he had only her bag in his hand.

　　Ying Ru said, "Thrown away." ”

　　“...... Thrown away? ”

　　"Isn't that what you said, throw it in the trash if you don't like it."

　　Ye Qingtang's expression froze for a moment, "... It's true? ”

　　"Of course it's fake." As soon as Ying Ruyu saw her expression, he couldn't bear to continue to tease her, "In the car." ”

　　"You seem to have drunk wine, how did you come by car?"

　　"Chu Yu's car." He took a friend to the hotel, and when he came back, he was just passing by, and I asked him to take a ride. ”

　　While they were talking, they had reached the door and collided head-on with the security guard in charge of closing and locking the door.

　　The security guard laughed and said, "Are you two ready to go?" Didn't leave anything behind? ”

　　"Nothing." Ying Ru smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to delay you in locking the door." ”

　　"It's all right."

　　Out of the gate, Ying Ru sent her around the car park in the back, where there was a Mercedes S-Class parked.

　　Ying Ruji opened the back seat door, and Chu Yu, who was sitting in the front seat, yawned a long time, "You 'waited' long enough, I will wait to fall asleep." ”

　　He turned his head to look at it, only to see that it was not just Ying Ru who had sent one person.

　　Ye Qingtang had already bent down to get into the car, and greeted Chu Yu with a smile: "Teacher Chu is good." ”

　　"Hello hello hello. What is it called? ”

　　"My surname is Ye, Ye Qingtang."

　　"Oh, Hello Miss Ye. Should I send a friend? ”

　　Ying Ru closed the car door and solemnly corrected in tone: "Girlfriend." ”

　　Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Ye Qingtang again, laughing and saying, "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

　　He instructed the driver to leave, and then asked where Ying Ruyu was going first.

　　Should be sent as sent: "Guanlan apartment." Send Qingtang back first. ”

　　After getting on the road, Chu Yu smiled and asked, "How should Miss Ye and we always know each other?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "It seems to be because my father is your party A." ”

　　Chu Yu reacted, "Are you Ye Zong's Qianjin?" ”

　　"Yes."

　　Chu Yu turned his head and glanced at Ying Ruyu, teasingly, "Isn't this the true Father of the Golden Lord?" ”

　　Should be sent as follows: "..."

　　Chu Yu was very curious about Ye Qingtang, because over the years, He Should have sent a girlfriend to them, and he hadn't even seen more than half of the ambiguous object.

　　"Miss Ye is the girl who ordered the restaurant last year to prepare to confess?" Chu Yu asked again.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Has Teacher Chu ever thought that if I wasn't, the situation would be very embarrassing?" ”

　　"Listen to you say that, that's obviously it. No, fate goes around, who should be who is who. ”

　　Chu Yu didn't ask any more questions, and finally said, "I'll call Jenny back, and we'll invite Miss Ye to dinner together." ”

　　"Okay, okay."

　　Chu Yu yawned, hugged his arms, and stopped talking.

　　Ye Qingtang seemed to be infected, and he also yawned.

　　Ying Ruyu reached out and touched her face, "Sleepy? ”

　　"Sort of."

　　"Sleep?" He broke her head against his shoulder.

　　Ye Qingtang found his hand on his lap, handed five fingers in and clasped them, and whispered, "I have a question." ”

　　She looked up slightly, and her lips barely rubbed the skin on the side of his neck, and the slight hot breath she exhaled brought up a piece of itching.

　　"What?" Bow your head as if on the side.

　　"Did you just play me?" Deliberately said that I would wait for the return from a business trip, and then give me a reply after consideration. ”

　　"Do I have one?" Ying Ru asked with a smile.

　　"It's like something your character does."

　　"Maybe you misunderstood my personality."

　　“...... Is it? ”

　　After a few seconds of silence, Ying Ru said in a deep voice: "Just now I was waiting at the door for Chu Yu to drive over, and when the car was ready to leave, I still felt that I couldn't leave you there alone, it was too late, the girl was not safe alone, at least, I should send you home." Of course, more importantly, I don't know what it's like to be there alone, whether you're sad or not, whether you're crying... I can't imagine. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled lightly, "It is useful to say that it is useful to cry." I said I cried every day to show you. ”

　　Ying Ruyu reached out and gently pinched her earlobe, "That's still not enough." I prefer the way you laugh. ”

　　Ye Qingtang didn't speak again for a moment, a fluffy head arched over his shoulder, and after a while, her voice was even quieter, "Kiss me." ”

　　“...... There are outsiders. ”

　　"Teacher Chu is asleep and can't hear."

　　Chu Yu in the front row coughed tactically.

　　Ye Qingtang: "..."

　　Should be sent to laugh out loud.

　　The car arrives on the side of the road opposite the Guanlan apartment complex.

　　Ying Ru sent Chu Yu to wait for five minutes, and he sent Ye Qingtang to the door of the community.

　　Chu Yu smiled and said, "Five minutes countdown, it's not timely, you can take a taxi back by yourself." ”

　　After crossing the road, Ye Qingtang led Ying Ruji to the shadow of the camphor tree at the entrance of the community.

　　"Are you really going on a business trip tomorrow?" Ye Qingtang asked.

　　"I don't seem to have lied to you about the scheduling of the trip."

　　"Didn't lie to me on New Year's Eve?"

　　"You're not saying it's not important?" Ying Ru smiled, "That day was half and half." There is indeed something, but it is not urgent, but it can go or not. ”

　　Ye Qingtang took a step closer and looked up at him, "Then when are you leaving tomorrow?" ”

　　"Early in the morning, around seven."

　　"It's not about getting up at six."

　　"Almost."

　　"All right." She reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and gently pushed back again, "... I'll let you go tonight. ”

　　"What did you let me go?" Eyebrows should be raised slightly.

　　"Are you sure you want to know?"

　　She tickled her fingers, and when he lowered his head, she tiptoed closer to his ear and whispered.

　　"Hmm." Ying Ru listened, and said in a deep voice, "That's going to have to let me go, it sounds like this is a program arrangement that stays up all night." ”

　　Ye Qingtang giggled and reached out to take back the bag he had helped carry in his hand, "You can go back and rest well, you can't sleep for a few hours today." ”

　　"Did you forget something?"

　　Ying Ru reached out and pulled her wrist, and she took a step forward uncontrollably.

　　One hand wrapped around her waist, the other pressed on the back of her neck, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and the kiss fell along with the shadows.

　　She was a little out of breath when she let go.

　　"When it's a deposit." He laughed, his voice a little gritty mute, and she knew it was because of the desire-thoughts she had aroused, "... The rest waits for me to come back. ”

　　-

　　Ye Qingtang went upstairs, kicked the shoes on his feet, threw himself on the bed with his slippers, smirked and touched the mobile phone, and first sent a message to Ying Ru, saying that he would go to the shower first, and let him talk to her when he got home.

　　But she did not immediately get up and take a bath, but sent a message to Wu Qingshu: I am in love!!!!!

　　Wu Qingshu replied: With whom? Wouldn't it be with our old friends who should be sent? Wouldn't it? Do you want to eat the grass twice in a row?

　　Ye Qingtang: Bless me quickly.

　　Wu Qingshu: Bless you. Do you want me to call you sister-in-law again?"

　　Ye Qingtang: It's not impossible.

　　Wu Qingshu: ... You don't have sex with your boyfriend and look for me in the middle of the night to go crazy.

　　Ye Qingtang: Boyfriend is on a business trip. You're more idle.

　　Wu Qingshu: I'm not idle thank you. I was just at half-time.

　　Ye Qingtang: ... Dog men and women.

　　Ye Qingtang finished bathing, blew dry his hair, and returned to bed to lie down.

　　You should send a message: I'm home. You go to bed earlier.

　　Ye Qingtang: I'll wait for you to take a shower and pack up your things, and I'll talk to me before you go to bed.

　　Should be sent as: Aren't you tired? Let's go and rest first,.

　　Ye Qingtang: Okay. Good night.

　　Should be sent as: good night.

　　Ye Qingtang originally wanted to wait, and even opened the projector to click on a movie, where he knew that he had not watched it for five minutes and fell asleep directly.

　　When I woke up the next day, it was already 8:30 a.m., and there were two messages on WeChat that she had gotten up and had left.

　　-

　　Ying Ruyu did not think that Ye Qingtang's love attribute was "sticky".

　　But her stickiness and sentence reading are somewhat similar, they all remember to rub him, turning their stomachs to ask him to smooth their hair; and once they are busy with their own things, they disappear for half a day, and then suddenly appear, and then seamlessly switch to "rubbing" mode.

　　After an afternoon meeting, after the evening socializing, you should send it back to the hotel.

　　He sent a message to Ye Qingtang, took off his coat, and took the hanger to prop up and hang it in the closet.

　　WeChat voice phone prompt sound up.

　　He connected, just said "Hey", said "I want to video with you", and immediately hung up.

　　Call again, and it becomes a video call.

　　After connecting, I saw Ye Qingtang lying on the bed with her face on her side, so close to the camera that I could even see the lines of her dark brown pupils and the transparent fluff on the skin of her cheeks.

　　Ying Ruyu held the mobile phone in one hand, casually unbuttoned the neckline of his shirt with the other, and asked with a smile: "After work?" ”

　　And Ye Qingtang on the screen suddenly opened his eyes, "Can you do it again?" ”

　　"What?" Should be sent as if not known so.

　　"Unbutton."

　　“...... No. ”

　　"Why not? Treat me like an outsider? Ye Qingtang's eyelashes flashed, "I can also show you." However, my clothes have no buttons, so I..."

　　Her index finger gently hooked the suspender of her shoulder nightdress and pulled it down.

　　You should hang up the video outright.

　　In a moment, Ye Qingtang dialed over again.

　　After connecting, she smiled and tried to put on a grievance expression, "Why hang my video?" ”

　　You should reply solemnly as if you had sent a book: "Accidentally touched." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and his shoulders trembled slightly, and his hair, which was as fluffy as a cloud of mist, slipped down, "The more you do this, the more I will continue--well, I know that Teacher Ying, you are a righteous gentleman, can you hang up my phone again?" ”

Chapter 33 -33 - Nothing Happened

　　-33-

　　Ye Qingtang sat in the car and ate a small bag of olives, the mobile phone screen lit up, and a new message should be sent to say that the high-speed rail will soon arrive at the station.

　　She immediately got out of the car and crossed the road in front of the parking lot to the exit.

　　In less than ten minutes, Ye Qingtang saw the figure of Ying Ruyu in the crowd of the outbound station, the inner layer of a white T-shirt, with a light blue-gray casual suit, and a black trolley case in his hand.

　　She tiptoed and waved, and Ying Ruyu's eyes crossed the exit to look over, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

　　The moment Ying Ruyu walked out the door, she was immediately overwhelmed by the figure with a warm aroma, and she wrapped her hands around her waist and looked up at him, "Fortunately, it's not too late, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

　　"You can leave a little later."

　　"I'm afraid of traffic jams on the road."

　　"If I get there first, I can wait for you for a while." Should be said with a smile.

　　Ye Qingtang let go of his hand and went to push the box in his hand.

　　"Heavy, I push myself." Ying Ru spread out his other hand, smiled and said, "This is more important, you lead this."

　　Finding the car in the parking lot, Ye Qingtang pressed the key to open the trunk, and should put the suitcase inside.

　　Ying Ruji had taken Ye Qingtang's car once before, and she seemed to have such a noisy personality, but when driving, she was actually standardized and cautious.

　　Since his girlfriend came to pick him up today, he was happy to be lazy and sit in the co-driver safely.

　　The car exits the parking lot, scans the code at the exit to pay the parking fee, gets off the ramp, and merges into the main road to the city center.

　　At night, the car river is brilliant, and the lights are like scattered gems, strung together by winding lanes.

　　The songs in the stereo before the renewal were listened to twice in a row, and Ying Ruyu realized: "Is it my playlist?" ”

　　"Yes."

　　“...... Been listening? He finally understood where the strange and steadily rising number of plays on his playlist came from.

　　"Yes." She still smiled and replied, "I mainly want to hear what new songs you added, and then guess how you felt at that time, it was fun." ”

　　"Really? What do you think I was thinking when I listened to this song? ”

　　Ye Qingtang listened intently to two sentences:

　　Get your thrills on strawberry hill

　　In all your wounds the berries will fill

　　It’ll make your pain taste sweeter

　　(*Come to Strawberry Hill with your wounds / Your wounds will be filled with strawberries / Make your wounds no longer bitter)

　　"I think... When you listen to this song, you must think that I am sad again. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled, "Hmm. Guessed exactly. ”

　　"Because... One night, I looped the song a hundred times too. Ye Qingtang looked at him.

　　"When?"

　　"Your birthday."

　　Silence should be sent for a while.

　　And Ye Qingtang continued, "You returned the gift I gave you, and I can't do anything with you." And it's going to be done the next day, and I have to work while listening to the song. It's sad, but you don't know. ”

　　"Are you going to pull over?"

　　“...... Well? ”

　　"Let me kiss you."

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, "No, you can't park on the elevated road." ”

　　The car should drive into the neighborhood where the car should be staying, and drive into the underground garage.

　　Ye Qingtang found a temporary parking space without a trailer number, fell in and stopped.

　　Unbuckle your seatbelt and reach for the car door.

　　Ye Qingtang directly locked the door, "Wait a minute," she said.

　　Then he got up and bent down to cross the central armrest box between the two seats.

　　He quickly pushed the button and adjusted the power seat to slide backwards to make room. Ye Qingtang sat down on his knees.

　　She grabbed the hem of his suit with both hands, lowered her head, and looked at him.

　　Nothing to say, just a look.

　　His breathing was sluggish.

　　She wore a very intricate black dress, piled high with embroidery and crepe. He found her slender waist in these intricately cut structures, clamped it in one hand, and looked up to seal her breath with a kiss.

　　With this dark corner, it's time to brew some bold ideas. Of course, perhaps for Miss Ye, her boldness has never been limited by space.

　　Ying Ruyu grabbed her hand in time, "... Less than fifty meters, can't go upstairs first? ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled at the food on his shoulder, "It's no fun to go upstairs." ”

　　You should squint your eyes, there is a sense of danger in the darkness. He leaned into her ear and whispered, "Then don't be too loud for a while."

　　Ye Qingtang's pupils were slightly released.

　　Instead, Ying Ru opened the storage box on the side, took out the wet paper towels inside, and pulled out a few sheets.

　　Ye Qingtang stared at Ying Ruyu, and he slowly and methodically wiped the movements of his palms and fingers, as if the hunter was carefully maintaining his most handy weapon, making her feel a slight trembling feeling of danger approaching.

　　-

　　The elevator reached the first floor, the door popped open, and a lady with a little boy in her walked in.

　　Ying Ru wrapped his arms around Ye Qingtang's shoulders and gave way to the corner.

　　Probably because she felt that the face was good, the lady should send her chin as well, and the same should be sent as it should be.

　　The little boy chirped and began to talk about what had happened at school during the day.

　　Ying Ruyu looked down, Ye Qingtang's head was hanging low, and his forehead was almost entirely against his chest.

　　He laughed and whispered at a volume that only the two of them could hear, "It didn't work." ”

　　It was she who was very arrogant in the carriage, how could she be embarrassed to hide now? And, just a few minutes of the unification of the Communist Party? It soiled his hands.

　　Open the door and push the suitcase in as you would.

　　Ye Qingtang kicked off the flat shoes on his feet, and should take off a pair of his own slippers and hand them to her, telling her to put them on first, and he would buy a new one tomorrow.

　　Ying Ru took off his coat and then put it on the arm of the sofa, he was going to continue dragging the suitcase, and Ye Qingtang mopped the floor with both feet and sat up. He laughed and dragged her into the cloakroom along with his suitcase.

　　Without time to sort out their clothes, and even less in the mood, they went straight to the bathroom and tossed and turned to the bedroom.

　　Continuation of the prelude that just ended abruptly in a dark corner.

　　They did not go to the purge immediately after the end, and it was expected that it would be only a temporary truce.

　　You should get up and put on the button of your pants at will, go to the kitchen to bring a glass of water.

　　Ye Qingtang was lying on her back, playing with one of her own strands of hair that had fallen on the pillow, and she wrapped her hair around her index finger in a circle, strangling the blood flow block, and her fingertips were red and loose.

　　Ying Ru sent water, she propped up her body and took a sip of his hand, fell down again, and then said solemnly: "Teacher Ying, how can this be?" ”

　　"What's going on?"

　　"We haven't been this fast before."

　　Eyebrows should be raised slightly.

　　Sure enough, she looked up at him with a big face, "It must be because it's been too long." You have to hurry up and make it back. ”

　　She sat down on the edge of the bed, her palm flicking her forehead, which was still covered in sweat.

　　She lifted her foot and put it on his knee, and then the soles of her feet reached forward.

　　It should not be blocked if it is sent.

　　She laughed, and the expression seemed to say, "Do you still like this?"

　　-

　　Late at night when he was hungry, Ye Qingtang wandered around the kitchen in his proper bathrobe, trying to find something from the refrigerator to make a late-night snack.

　　Unfortunately, this once-sumptuous refrigerator is now even more barren than before, except for pure water and only beer.

　　Ying Ru sent when Ye Qingtang went to pour water, but he didn't see her return for half a day, so he got up and put on his clothes and pants and went out.

　　"Hungry?" He could see at a glance what she was doing.

　　"Hmm."

　　"Order takeout."

　　"But it's so late, when will it be digested after eating?"

　　Ying Ru looked very calm, "Afraid of what, didn't you prepare an all-night program for me?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud.

　　Ying Ruyu handed her his mobile phone and asked her to order, while saying more in a normal tone, "Or save some use, you see I am not young after all." ”

　　"There is. I don't allow you to be presumptuous. You are the spirit of the dragon horse, the dragon leaping and leaping like a wolf..."

　　Ying Ruyu covered her mouth.

　　Half an hour or so, takeaway arrived.

　　With no better option, Ye Qingtang ordered the nearest KFC nearby.

　　Ying Ru was not hungry, only drank water, and sat across from her.

　　He suddenly wanted to tease her, so he laughed and said, "You have seen all the buildings I designed?" ”

　　"..." Ye Qingtang raised his hand to pick up the Coke, took a sip, and Fang said, "I have seen it in the United States and at home, and the time in other countries is too late." ”

　　"What do you think?"

　　"The impression is that there is a reason why I like Ichigo Bookhouse so much."

　　"Huh? What to say? "You should sit up straight as you would.

　　"Get rid of the works that are not led by you, the early designs that you are mainly responsible for have not yet formed a particularly unified style, you seem to be still exploring, if one end is a personal claim, the other end is a user's needs, the coordinates of the line you form at these two ends are not fixed, and will often shift." 」

　　As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and drew a line on the table, "And the Mustard Bookstore is just in the middle, a work that is dusty with the light." It doesn't seem to have a particularly shocking breakthrough, but in fact, every detail that deviates by even half a point will lose its overall flavor. Its characteristics and your personality are completely in line, the sense of distance and ease, the locality and particularity, practicality and aesthetics... Every point was very balanced and perfect. ”

　　"Are you exaggerating architecture, or are you exaggerating people?" You should ask with a smile.

　　"Of course I'm praising people."

　　Ye Qingtang looked at him, and there was light in his eyes, which stemmed from a sincere worship, and no man should be able to resist such a worship.

　　After eating, Ye Qingtang went to brush his teeth.

　　She came out of the bathroom and found ying ru in the foyer.

　　He was crouching there, holding an art knife to dismantle the courier.

　　"What did you buy?"

　　"A gift for you."

　　Ye Qingtang leaned on his back, and he reached out and handed her the two square boxes that had been dismantled.

　　She took it, opened one box at random, took out the contents, stunned, and quickly opened another one.

　　It was two plush toys less than the size of a palm, both Q-versions, a black cat and a gopher.

　　You should send it as follows: "Find someone to make it according to the picture you drew." ”

　　Ye Qingtang rubbed his hands lovingly for a moment and touched them head-to-head.

　　"It should be sent as such."

　　"Huh?"

　　"Although it seems a little early to say..." She looked up at him, "I'll move in with you, okay?" ”

　　Ying Ru smiled, "I can't ask for it." ”

Chapter 34 -34- What Tastes of Toffee

　　-34-

　　Ying Ruyu habitually opened the wardrobe door, saw a cabinet full of women's clothes, and reacted that these two doors had long been specially vacated for Ye Qingtang.

　　He closed the cabinet door, realized something, and shouted into the restaurant, "Qingtang." ”

　　"Huh?" Ye Qingtang's long voice replied, "What's wrong?"

　　"Are you wearing makeup?"

　　"Hmm."

　　"It's okay, you go first."

　　Ying Ru took out a shirt from the cabinet door next to him and put it on, and when he buttoned the buttons on the cuffs, Ye Qingtang walked in with lipstick and asked, "What's wrong, do you have anything to say to me?"

　　The move was a big deal, at least for Ye Qingtang, an eighty-square-meter apartment crammed with albums and albums, and just imagining the amount of work packed was prohibitive.

　　And ying Ru sent that she could just take this opportunity to report to the family first and then move, she promised to come down, saying that she would stay overnight, which is always no problem?

　　Therefore, in order to facilitate the stay, Ye Qingtang would bring some commonly used toiletries, skin care products and clothes from time to time...

　　Just before Fangcai, He Ying Ruyu realized that in addition to books, autumn and winter clothes, and furniture and appliances that could not be taken away, the basics that could be moved had already been moved.

　　Ying Ruji looked at Ye Qingtang, she walked to the dressing mirror, sipped the lipstick smeared on her lips, and he asked, "It's your birthday next week, is there any arrangement?" ”

　　"Nothing. Are you going to arrange for me? She lifted her little finger and gently wiped the rim of her lips, making a gentle transition.

　　"I want to have a meal with your parents."

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head to look at him.

　　"Someone spends the night for almost a month as soon as they spend the night, and tells you to say hello to your family, and I don't know if you said it." Whether you say it or not, in short, secretly living with someone without the woman's parents is not in line with my principles, and I have to make up for this courtesy. "It should be sent a little bit," ... Just having a meal and saying hello, with no other meaning. Of course if you feel stressed, I respect your ideas. ”

　　Ye Qingtang leaned over, leaned over to him with his upper body tilted, and smiled and said, "If I want to fall in love all the time, what are you going to do with Teacher Ying?" Will you dump me again? ”

　　"I'll think about it." It should be as if there is a matter of sending a message.

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and said, "Then will you go to my house for dinner?" My mom knew, I told her, my dad didn't know. I can't predict his behavior, he is enlightened, but when I was in high school, he threw his face at the boys who came to my house to play. All I am only responsible for bringing you back, whatever happens, you are responsible for coping with it yourself. ”

　　"Kill or bury?"

　　"No, no."

　　Ye Qingtang saw that Ying Ruyu had already put on his shirt, and immediately wanted to tease him, her fingers grabbed his collar, tiptoed, and printed a full lip print on the side of his neck, before he reached out to catch her, she had flashed away quickly.

　　Ying Ru raised his chin and wiped the mark of lipstick against the dressing mirror, but it was not wiped clean, and it was all on his fingers.

　　He went to the restaurant, took the wet tissues on the table and tried it, and then wiped it off.

　　At that time, when the decoration was done, I did not consider that there would be a woman living here one day, and there was no dresser, and Ye Qingtang felt that it was inconvenient to stand in the bathroom, so she often made up directly at the table.

　　At this moment, she has finished her makeup and is putting the cosmetics on the table into her makeup bag one by one.

　　Ying Ruyu walked behind her, held her hand, and then gently squeezed her chin and pulled her head.

　　In retaliation for her act, he kissed her perfect lip makeup.

　　-

　　After work, you should drive to pick up Ye Qingtang.

　　Ye Qingtang has an overseas package filled in the address of Guanlan Apartment, which needs to be visited first.

　　Waiting for the package at the courier point, I went upstairs to get a few books to use.

　　In the past month, Ye Qingtang had not slept in his apartment for a day, lacked cleaning, and a thin layer of ash had accumulated in the house.

　　It was the first time she had entered her second bedroom, which according to her was used as a study, but looking at the corrugated boxes stacked on top of each other, it was clearly more like a warehouse.

　　Ye Qingtang turned over a few times, and the dust in the room was everywhere, and Heying opened the window for ventilation.

　　"If you want to find something, I'll help you."

　　"No, I know where to put my own stuff." Ye Qingtang told him to flip it over casually and wait for her a little.

　　There was a desk and a bookshelf in this room, and it seemed that she had originally planned to make a study, but it was obvious that Miss Ye's life, office, and entertainment were now completed at the dining table.

　　Ying Ru looked around and landed on the shelf against the wall.

　　There was a white gift bag on it, which was very familiar to the eye.

　　He walked over and took a look at it, and sure enough.

　　"Can I take this?" It should be asked as asked.

　　Ye Qingtang looked up, "No." You have returned it to me, where there is still a reason to take it away. ”

　　"Originally it was given to me, but if you don't give it to me, you'll put it here to eat ashes?"

　　"Eating ash will not be given to you."

　　"Then how can I be given?"

　　"Coax me to be happy." Ye Qingtang flipped through the cardboard box, with a posture of making up his mind and refusing to let it go.

　　Ying Ruyu walked over to her, and his voice fell deeply, "Is it okay to sincerely apologize to you?" At that time, how dare I receive it, it was very difficult to forget you. How do I know if you just got this right, so I repeated the trick. ”

　　“...... I thought you were dismissive of my novelty and sincerity. ”

　　"How come." He lowered his head and reached out to grab her hand, "... Even if you just look at me seriously, I will feel sincere. ”

　　He wrapped her hands around his back, and she whispered that she had ash on her hands, and he didn't say a word, but only took her into his arms.

　　She whispered, as if in a difficult way, "... You missed my two book fairs. ”

　　"I won't miss it again in every edition."

　　He bowed his head and kissed her gently.

　　Ying Ruyu left the Guanlan apartment with a stack of books in her hand and a gift bag in her hand.

　　When I got to the residence, the aunt had just finished the meal - long-term takeaway or outside food is not called a matter, should be sent and can not always bother Aunt Ding to run, so she found another housekeeping aunt, responsible for cleaning and cooking.

　　Auntie does not live at home, every day at noon to clean, come to cook in the evening, when they finish eating and tidy up the kitchen will leave.

　　Fruits after meals should be sent as cherries from friends who live in seclusion in the suburbs.

　　The cherry was crystal clear and contained in a transparent fruit bowl, which caused Ye Qingtang to take several photos in a row and update the circle of friends that had been silent for many days.

　　She grabbed the cherry and went close to feed it.

　　Ying Ru could not tell which one was more appetizing, and smiled happily.

　　Ye Qingtang went to take a bath first, and the cold air blew the water stains on his skin to evaporate, bringing a slightly tight coolness.

　　She walked back into the living room with her slippers on, only to see Ying Ruyu sitting on her legs reclining against the armrest, her knees spreading the birthday gift that she had refused to regain.

　　She walked over and sat down next to him, turned her head, and originally wanted to "evaluate" her painting again, but she didn't consciously look at him, he was like a piece of pure jade, with the texture and luster of jade.

　　She was jealous that he only looked at the painting and not at her, so she put her hands on his head, pulled it hard, and kissed it.

　　Ying Ru smiled, picked up the picture book to make room for her, and let her sit down on her knees. The picture books were spread out on the armrests, and they looked sideways.

　　Ying Ru asked, "You weren't preparing for the exhibition at that time, where did you work on painting this?" ”

　　"After I got home, I painted for three hours a day. Originally, there were many sheets, the drafts were all prepared, and the time really couldn't catch up, so I could only cut them. She turned to the penultimate page, "Do you like what I've bought for you?" ”

　　"Loved it." Should be sent to the truth is only looking at her.

　　He reached out, closed the picture book, and "snapped" and threw it gently on the coffee table, he lowered his head sideways, his eyes drooping, his lips lightly touching the skin of her shoulder, while whispering, "What script do you want to play today?" ”

　　He wanted to make up for her with pleasure.

　　"Today..." Ye Qingtang curled up on his toes, because of his next move, "... Everything. ”

　　Her cheeks were close to his breath, just wanting him to kiss her faster.

　　Summer is coming, Ye Qingtang is afraid of heat, and the air conditioning is always very full.

　　Even then it felt hot, her legs were bent with sweat, and her skin stuck to the black leather couch, making her feel like a melted piece of toffee.

　　She told Ying Ruyu this, and he laughed lowly and asked her, "What tastes of toffee?" He didn't want her to answer, and he fell between her knees and tasted it for himself.

　　-

　　The birthday coincided with Saturday.

　　Ye Qingtang's mobile phone has not stopped since the morning, in addition to the congratulatory messages on WeChat, there are some SMS notifications that are being sent, do not think that it must be a birthday gift sent by friends, she has received many pieces in the past two days.

　　Ying Ru went out early in the morning, made an appointment to talk about things, told her that she would come back at noon, took her out to dinner, walked around in the afternoon, and then went to her house for dinner in the evening.

　　Ye Qingtang slept until half past nine, slowly chatting about WeChat, washing, makeup, changing clothes, and when it was ready, it should be sent and returned.

　　Without entering the house, he stood in the foyer and asked her, "Is it okay to go?" ”

　　"Right now!" Ye Qingtang picked up the perfume bottle and sprayed it on his wrist a little, and finally looked into the mirror to confirm that everything was perfect, took the bag, and walked out of the cloakroom.

　　You should look up.

　　Ye Qingtang wears a pink satin suspender dress, the waist is transformed into a design similar to the European court fishbone brace, and the pink color used in the fabric is very gentle, like a soft mist.

　　She took out a pair of high heels from the shoe cabinet and reminded her, "Wear flat shoes, you may have to walk." ”

　　Going downstairs to the car, YingRu asked her, "Hungry or not?" ”

　　"Thankfully, I ate a few slices of bread in the morning."

　　"Let's go somewhere first."

　　"Where to go?"

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Confidentiality." ”

　　The car drove all the way to the outskirts, in the direction of the tea garden contracted by the Ye family, Ye Qingtang guessed that he was probably going to take himself to see the construction progress of the tea culture museum, where to know, the car went straight past the tea garden and went to a more remote place.

　　"Are you going to take me to eat at any farm?" Ye Qingtang asked with a smile.

　　Should be sent as or said, when you arrive, you will know.

　　She began to guess, "Go pick strawberries?" Soaking in hot springs? Still say go to the temple to dig a valley? ”

　　Ying Ru's expression told her that she hadn't guessed anything correctly.

　　The car turned into the mountain, and the houses gradually thinned out, but the trees on both sides became dense.

　　The road is narrow, and Ye Qingtang can hear the sound of branches crossing the glass window when the wrong car is wrong.

　　After driving for about fifteen minutes, the car stopped, and Ying Ru said, "It's here." ”

　　Ye Qingtang looked out the window, but only saw a row of bungalows that were about to collapse, standing alone on the half-slope of the barren grass.

　　She opened the door, unknown so got out of the car.

　　Ying Ruji led her to the front of the house and said, "I signed a contract with someone in the morning and rented this place." ”

　　“...... Do what? ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Build our yard." ”

Chapter 35 -35- The only time I was not fooling around

　　#35

　　Ye Qingtang immediately stepped on the barren grass of a field and walked toward the row of houses, and after an explanation, he felt that this barren mountain and wild ridge had a meaning.

　　She pointed to the gate and asked, "Is this the direction of the courtyard?" ”

　　"Generally sit north facing south."

　　Ye Qingtang took out his mobile phone and clicked on the compass, very carefully measured the direction of the south, and then clicked on the rangefinder, measured the approximate area of this place, and estimated that there were more than two hundred squares.

　　You should send a finger to scratch a piece and tell her that it is expected that this is where the house is located, the area should not be too large, two bedrooms and a small living room, plus a kitchen bathroom is enough. The kitchen is on the side, leading directly to the yard; the yard is in front of the house, in addition to the water tanks, wooden benches, braziers, etc. on the painting, you can also put a cool grape rack, and when the grapes are ripe in autumn, they can make their own wine.

　　Ye Qingtang was so excited that he jumped up, as if he wished that he could conjure up the courtyard out of thin air tomorrow, "How long will it take, or will it take a year to start?"

　　"Private homes are not the same as public buildings, and construction will begin soon." Ying Ru smiled and said, "With my own eyes, the efficiency can be higher, and ideally, maybe we can make a fire outdoors this winter." ”

　　"This is the best birthday present I've ever received in my life!" Ye Qingtang hugged him.

　　Ying Ru smiled and pressed her palm on her back, "I just don't know if Miss Ye is still with me in the winter, such a person who is not long-lived." ”

　　Ye Qingtang blinked his eyes, "If it doesn't last until then, what will happen to you?" ”

　　"Investment is risky, so I have to admit it." He laughed.

　　The weather is sweltering, the grass and trees here are lush, and there are many mosquitoes, so you should tell her to get on the car and turn around and wait for this side to start work and then bring her over.

　　Going back will pass through the tea garden, Ying Ruyu also stopped by to see the progress of the project, the slope has been leveled, the whole piece is surrounded, and the green protective net has been scaffolded.

　　Not far from the site, a row of improvised bungalows houses are canteens, workers' dormitories, equipment rooms and warehouses.

　　When they arrived, the workers happened to be eating, and a few of them did not eat in the house, sitting on the steps in front of the house with large stainless steel rice bowls.

　　When a woman comes over, and she is still a beautiful young woman, she will inevitably have a look.

　　Ying Ruyu naturally sensed it, grabbed her wrist, and whispered, "It's hot outside, you go to the car and sit and wait for me." ”

　　The construction site environment is relatively closed, and most of them are men, and the gaze of those people is not necessarily malicious, but he is still afraid that Ye Qingtang will feel uncomfortable.

　　"I'd like to see it too." Ye Qingtang said.

　　"It's dusty on the construction site, don't stain your skirt."

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, turned around and sat back in the car.

　　Through the car window, Ye Qingtang saw that the person in charge of the construction site had sent Ying Ru a white hard hat, which he put on and raised his hand to adjust the hat rope.

　　She laughed, immediately took out her mobile phone, and took a picture by the window.

　　After sitting for about ten minutes, Ying Ru sent it back, pulled the car door open, and took a thin body of hot air to the car.

　　On the way back to the city, Ye Qingtang asked Ying Ruyu, "Teacher Ying, why did you apply for an architectural design major at that time?" ”

　　"Because more than a decade ago I thought that the buildings of the city were all the same matchboxes, some ugly, some boring. Once I told a high school classmate about this idea, he said, can live in people is not enough, you think ugly, have the ability to design? ”

　　"It turns out that you have a long history of eating the Radical Fa." Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

　　Ying Ru sent an eyebrow.

　　"However, I don't think matchboxes are the ugliest, most of them are mediocre at best, and the ugly ones are..."

　　"Skeuomorphic architecture." Ying Ru said, "Yuanbao, copper coins, wine bottles..."

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, "... Help, I already have a picture in my head. Teacher Ying, are you saying this to attack your peers in the industry? ”

　　Ying Ru said: "You may know that there is an annual top ten ugly building selection in China?" These 'masterpieces' are on the list. ”

　　"Really? Who's going to judge? ”

　　"Professors at Tsinghua University, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, these architectural schools, or the Architectural Society of China."

　　"Is it so professional?"

　　"Yes. There will be netizens voting for the audition, fifty into twenty, twenty into ten and other rounds, only into the final circle, enough to be eligible to be selected by these professors. ”

　　"Ugly Buildings 101." Ye Qingtang laughed bitterly, "It seems that it is not an easy task to be ugly and outstanding." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and looked at Ye Qingtang.

　　They always seem to have something to talk about, never boring.

　　After eating at noon, you should be accompanied by a mail in the afternoon.

　　He had surprising patience, and when she changed into any new dress for him, he would scrutinize and give advice, never prevaricating with things like "you look good in anything you wear", although, after he repeatedly stressed, this is the truth.

　　Ye Qingtang bought a new dress, a new pair of high heels, and a beautiful and useless watch.

　　Tired of walking around, she took off her shoes and rested on her chair with her feet resting.

　　The car drove in the direction of Ye Family Villa.

　　Ye Qingtang said, "You know what? ”

　　"Huh?"

　　"I used to go out shopping and wouldn't swipe any man's card, and you were the first — except for my dad of course."

　　"Why?" Ying Ru smiled and asked, "Isn't it a matter of course to pay for you?" ”

　　"On the one hand, because I myself am not lacking, on the other hand, it seems that if I spend other people's money, I am bound to owe others something."

　　"Not afraid to owe me?"

　　"Don't be afraid." Ye Qingtang looked at him, and the peach blossom spring water in the apricot eyes was peach blossom, "... Meat - pay you well or not. ”

　　Ying Ru paused for a moment, and Fang said, "You're not afraid that I'll turn around in front?" ”

　　"What to do?"

　　"Go home right away and make you meat-paid."

　　Ye Qingtang hissed softly, what to say, she would always like to say the lowest-flowing words in the calmest tone, just like he would do in bed.

　　"Really?" She smiled and asked, "Let my parents pigeons go." Sounds so exciting. ”

　　“...... You sit well. "It should be like sending helpless words."

　　-

　　Ye Chengyin heard that his daughter's birthday was going to take her boyfriend home for dinner, and he paid attention to it as a double joy, he vaguely knew that Ye Qingtang had talked about many boyfriends in a mess, but it was the first one that he solemnly brought home. The girlfriend is twenty-six years old this year, and it is also appropriate to calculate the preparation and stabilization.

　　In order to be afraid of treating guests slowly, Ye Chengyin personally watched the fire supervisor in the kitchen, and also made a tea fried shrimp by himself, using the new tea of the first stubble in his own tea garden.

　　Zhuang Yujin saw that he was busy, only to hold back a smile, and did not break it in advance, she wanted to see how he looked when he met With Ying Ruyu.

　　Not long after, there was a knock at the door.

　　Ye Chengyin handed the kitchen back to Aunt Zhao and personally went to open the door with Zhuang Yujin.

　　The moment the door opened, he saw a familiar face, Ye Chengyin's first reaction was to say hello, smiled and said, "Teacher Ying, how do you..."

　　Then he noticed that the girl's hand was holding Ying Ru's hand.

　　He froze.

　　And Ying Ru smiled and said, "Ye Zong, excuse me." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin said, "Please come in, sit for a while and you will be able to eat." ”

　　Ye Qingtang let go of Ying Ruyu's hand, walked in and hugged Ye Chengyin's arm, pushing him inside, "Dad, are you ready to eat, I smell the fragrance of tea!" ”

　　Ye Chengyin then returned to God, corresponding to Ruyu saying, "Please enter..."

　　Several people went to sit down on the sofa, and Ye Chengyin made tea for people.

　　To tell the truth, he has always admired such a technical talent with real talent and practical learning, although the other party is his B B, this cooperation opportunity is considered to be his three Gu Maolu, and it is actually that he has asked for people.

　　He had never treated Ying Ru as a junior, and now coldly, this man had become his daughter's boyfriend, plainly short of him. He was like a computer with a burned out motherboard, completely in a state of death.

　　He used to call him "Teacher Ying" with those workers and Ying Ruyu's men, which was respectful, but now it seems inappropriate to call him so; and to call him "Ruyu" directly is unspeakably awkward.

　　Yes, he finally handed the teacup to Ying Ruyu, only to smile awkwardly and said, "Drink tea, drink tea." ”

　　Looking at Ye Qingtang again, she sat next to Ying Ruji, and the body language was ZhaoZhang's intimacy, and he was even more embarrassed.

　　Zhuang Yujin is very comfortable, she and Ying Ruji do not know deeply, there is not so much "ideological baggage", and Ye Qingtang always reports to her about her love progress, just like a little girl with a love brain in her first love.

　　The topic was started by Zhuang Yujin, who chatted about the progress of the project on the other side of the tea garden.

　　After a while, Aunt Zhao informed the restaurant to open the meal, and they moved to the restaurant.

　　Ying Ru sent out a bottle of wine that he had brought today as a gift, and said with a smile, "I will accompany Ye Zong to drink two cups." ”

　　After a few glasses of wine, Ye Chengyin finally completely returned to his senses, picked up the ability to talk and laugh with people, and joked: "I drank the wine, and the design fee cannot be refunded?" ”

　　"Dad, don't confuse business and private affairs."

　　Ye Chengyin immediately turned the firepower around, looked at her and smiled, "Oh, you know about public and private affairs now?" So when you deal with people, do you use the name of public affairs or the name of private affairs? ”

　　Of course, Ying Ruyu heard that this was actually directed at him, so he said, "Ye Zong, since I first met Qingtang last year, I have had a good feeling for her. Qingtang wanted to borrow a mustard bookstore to hold an exhibition, and I happened to know the owner of the bookstore, so I sold her a favor, and since then, we have been in contact..."

　　Ye Qingtang interrupted him and said directly, "Dad, I chased after him." You look at him and let him take the initiative he dares? ”

　　Ying Ru silently raised an eyebrow.

　　Ye Chengyin looked at Ye Qingtang, and his tone was flat and he couldn't hear the joy and anger, "I see that you have been fooling around since you were a child, and you are not finished." ”

　　"Quite the opposite." Ye Qingtang said seriously, "This is the only time I haven't been fooling around." ”

　　Zhuang Yujin smiled at this time and said, "You don't eat vegetables?" The dishes were all cold. ”

　　She gave Ye Chengyin a bowl of soup and handed it over, and said, "Qingtang is twenty-six this year, not sixteen." When she was sixteen years old, she had more ideas than she does now, and who dared to take care of her at that time, she would have left with a bowl of chopsticks long ago. Or grown up, isn't it? She looked at Ye Qingtang and smiled, "I know how to take care of the overall situation." ”

　　She looked at Ye Chengyin again, "You said that people are fooling around, aren't you the first pet of your father?" In the past, when she wanted to go to the house to reveal the tiles, you would take the initiative to hand over the ladder. Now what is this, people are not going to demolish the house, they are looking for a house to build, you have to smoke the ladder. ”

　　Ying Ruji and Ye Qingtang both laughed, Ye Chengyin did not hold back, the two major weaknesses of his life are his wife and daughter, and he has no way to live when they join forces.

　　After laughing, the atmosphere is much lighter.

　　Ye Chengyin posed as an elder and asked Ye Qingtang, "How long have we been talking?" ”

　　"More than a month." Ye Qingtang added, "However, we have known each other for more than a year, and we have long known the roots. And you know Ying Ru first, you even know Grandpa Ying, you must know more about what kind of person he is than I am, right? ”

　　Ye Chengyin obviously knew that this was ecstasy soup, or did he happily pour it down, "If I don't know, can I still have a chance to eat at the table?" The moment I walk in the door, I'll blow you out. ”

　　"Bomb me?" Ye Qingtang said.

　　"Or do you bomb the guests?" The house is not yet built, what to do if it is rotten. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled. At that time, Ye Qingtang clearly said, "Manage to kill and bury", and when it came to this time, she was the first to charge forward.

　　However, the Ye family had their own way of getting along, and whatever grandiose words he said would not necessarily have an effect.

　　Ye Chengyin moved the plate of shrimp to Ye Qingtang and said, "Taste, my craft." ”

　　Ye Qingtang was very obedient and clipped a basket to Ying Ruyu, while saying, "My father's craftsmanship is good, and the tea that is better than his craft is the tea he organized and cultivated." ”

　　Ye Chengyin was dizzy by his daughter's two horse asses, so the shelf that was unstable at the beginning was completely put down.

　　After eating, he moved to the tea room to drink tea.

　　Ying Ru sent a report to Ye Chengyin on the progress of the project on the other side of the tea garden, as long as it was a tea culture museum around Ye Chengyin's heart, he did not have to worry about talking at all.

　　Ye Qingtang was bored listening to the side, and got up to go to the kitchen to find fruit to eat.

　　She took a washed tomato, took two bites, walked back to the tea room, and said, "Dad, when is the cake?" ”

　　Ye Chengyin asked Aunt Zhao to take the ice cream cake in the refrigerator, he personally inserted the candle, and then took the camera over, recording the whole process of Ye Qingtang making a wish to blow the candle.

　　Since Ye Qingtang was three years old, Ye Chengyin began to record, almost every year has not fallen, even Ye Qingtang studied abroad in the years, he will also fly with Zhuang Yujin to accompany his daughter to celebrate the birthday, except for one year because of the weather reasons did not catch up, but also asked Ye Qingtang to take the mobile phone to record and send to him.

　　Ye Qingtang once asked him what to do with this recording, he said that when she gets married later, it will be played at the wedding, and she laughed and said that you are very good at creating sorry for yourself, and I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that you will not cry worse than me when I get married.

　　At this moment, Ye Qingtang suddenly thought of the conversation at that time.

　　She had a vague premonition that the day when she cried harder than her father should not be particularly far away.

　　After eating the cake and sitting for a while, Ye Qingtang was ready to send it back with Ying Ru.

　　"You're not sleeping at home tonight?" Ye Chengyin asked.

　　"I'm going to date my boyfriend alone." Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

　　Ye Chengyin had some regrets about calling people through so easily.

　　Ye Chengyin and Zhuang Yujin sent the two to the door.

　　He thanked the two for their hospitality and sincerely invited: "The next time I have the opportunity, I will invite the two of you to my grandfather's house." ”

　　Ye Qingtang whispered, "... I haven't been there yet. ”

　　Only one person should have heard it, and he turned his head to look at it, smiled, and gently squeezed her hand.

　　Ying Ru sent a drink, and the car was driven by Ye Qingtang.

　　The car window opened, Ying Ruyu held an arm to support the wind, he turned his head to look at Ye Qingtang, and asked suddenly: "Want to see?" ”

　　“...... What the? Ye Qingtang had a second of thought slippage.

　　"My avatar."

　　"To think is to think, but... That's it? ”

　　"So what do you want to see?"

　　"Do I want to see you?" She narrowed her eyes.

　　"Think beautiful." Should be sent a light smile.

Chapter 36 -36- Because It's You [First Change]

　　-36-

　　The car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, Ying Ruyu waited for a long time, just ready to send a message to Ye Qingtang, saw her and several people walked out, in front of the door seemed to have a greeting, she smiled and sent people to the car, and then looked up.

　　You should send a double jump light.

　　She walked over quickly, and the moment she opened the car door, the smile on her face disappeared and she sighed tiredly.

　　Ying Ru unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to her, "What's wrong? Didn't negotiate? ”

　　The new book fair is still held at the Nancheng Art Museum, because of the recruitment of two more curators and several regular employees, Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu do not have to do many things themselves.

　　On the other hand, the financial pressure is much greater, it is difficult to maintain the daily operating expenses purely by relying on the booth fee and ticket fee of the book fair, and Ye Qingtang is very cautious about the choice of sponsors, worried that its voice is too large, or too much commercialization will lead to many things being involuntary.

　　Ye Qingtang took a sip of water and complained: "Everything else is very good, and the shot is super generous, enough for me to run more than three sessions, but they made a request, to the naming rights, the sixth XX Cup Art Book Fair." ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "It sounds a bit unusual." ”

　　"They also advised me that you see that Go is also something that a small number of people play, and it is a sports event that is a serious eight classics, and a world champion is attracted by the whole people." Everybody can name it, why can't you. ”

　　"What do you say?"

　　"I said, these two things are not the same, it is not appropriate to use analogy. They sneered that the readers should be higher. Ye Qingtang exaggerated and made a pinching motion, "I want to die of anger." ”

　　Ying Ru laughed at her movements, "How is your studio's financial situation now?" ”

　　"Rest assured, it will be no problem to survive this year, otherwise I will have the backbone to refuse such a big sponsor."

　　Jenny's friend voted for a bar that had just opened recently, and Jenny invited Ying Ruji and Ye Qingtang to play together.

　　The elegantly decorated bar has the style of a European street tavern.

　　Ye Qingtang wore a special suit today in order to eat with the intended sponsor, and she teased herself that she did not look like a drinker, but like a person who came to sell wine.

　　Jenny and Chu Yu are very easy-going people, and although Ye Qingtang and Jenny met for the first time, they also had a good conversation.

　　Ye Qingtang asked, "Did the three of you know each other when you were studying abroad?" ”

　　Jenny laughed and said, "Actually, I know Lawrence before, and we are both junior high school alumni." ”

　　"Such a coincidence?"

　　"Yes. But I know him unilaterally. Because he always took the first place in the whole school, took various awards, and it was he who spoke under the red flag on Monday, and his fame spread from the third grade to our junior high school. And the name is very distinctive, it is difficult to forget at a glance. ”

　　Ye Qingtang felt the same way, she still remembered the business card with white characters on a black background, "Jenny, your little Chu teacher is three years old?" ”

　　"I studied two master's degrees, so I only graduated with a PhD this year." Jenny explained and continued, "Later, when I was with Chu Yu and had dinner with Lawrence for the first time, he said that his name was Ying Ru Shu, and I was at that time, ah, you were the Ying Ru Shu who rolled us into a twist! ”

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, "Is there a big difference between Teacher Ying's junior high school and now?" ”

　　"I don't know what kind of junior high school he was, you know that this kind of person is just a symbol for people who don't know."

　　Ye Qingtang then looked at Ying Ruyu and asked with a smile, "What kind of junior high school did you have?" ”

　　"Ordinary people with slightly better grades."

　　"Slightly better? I hate you most for being humble and humble students. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled.

　　After chatting for a while, Chu Yu mentioned that the LAB office was going to hold a small exhibition to exhibit some of the design manuscripts and models, and he asked Ye Qingtang's opinion: "Do you have to find a professional person to organize this matter?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang said: "If you want to have a better effect, it is still more recommended to find a curator." The job of the curator is to help you determine the theme and the concept you want to convey to the public, sort out the main and secondary relationships and internal context of the exhibits, determine the tone and style of the exhibition, and design the exhibition line, arrange the exhibits, etc. A reliable curator can help you save a lot of trouble. ”

　　Ying Ruyu looked at her at this time, "Do you take on private work?" ”

　　“...... yes? Ye Qingtang reacted, "Can I?" ”

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "Can you?" ”

　　“...... Is it because I'm your girlfriend that you came to me, or because you trusted my professional abilities. ”

　　"Both. If you do it, it will be more memorable to me. ”

　　Ye Qingtang pondered for a moment, "July will be launched, in time..."

　　"Don't worry, arrange in the second half of the year, what information and manpower you need, I will ask someone to cooperate with you." In terms of labor costs, when the time comes, I will find someone to specifically dock with you, and you can directly quote him. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "If my lion opens his mouth, will you replace me?" ”

　　"I pay out of my own pocket for the part that exceeds the budget."

　　"So what's your budget?"

　　"Trade secrets, can not be said." Should be sent as a serious face.

　　"Does Teacher Chu agree with you to fake public welfare for personal gain?"

　　Chu Yu on the other side had a face, "You are all done talking, and ask me what to do."

　　Ying Ru smiled and said, "He is only my partner, not my boss." ”

　　After talking until ten o'clock, the four of them dispersed and went home separately.

　　Ye Qingtang went to take a bath first, and should be sent as followed.

　　When he came out, Ye Qingtang was lying on the couch playing with his mobile phone, and she asked him to come over and show him a good thing.

　　Ying Ru sat down on the sofa, Ye Qingtang immediately got up and handed over the mobile phone.

　　He glanced at it and laughed, "When?" junior high school? ”

　　Ye Qingtang of junior high school is Qi Bangshai, staring at big eyes than scissor hands, wearing the blue and white school uniform of the middle school of the middle school outside the south city Chinese, everything is good, just a little "Ah Bao color" filter.

　　"I can't find the original photo anymore, and I can't even remember when I turned on such a blind filter."

　　"Are there anything else?"

　　"Yes and no, one-to-one exchange is fair."

　　"Grandpa has a photo album at home, maybe there is, and I'll take you to see it next time."

　　Ye Qingtang clicked on the photo album, gave him his mobile phone, and very generously asked him to turn it over casually.

　　Massive photos, carefully angled selfies, composition and fixed focus are random captures, she is not every expression is good-looking, but every one is alive.

　　He could almost sketch out the girl who went hand in hand with her good friend to buy milk tea after school, and after passing the school playground, the boy who was playing ball would involuntarily make a set of exaggerated three-step baskets, and someone would coax, and she just frowned and threw a "annoyed" white eye at them.

　　As he watched, Ye Qingtang smiled and asked, "When you were studying, didn't a lot of girls chase you?" ”

　　"I didn't pay much attention."

　　"It's really fake."

　　"Really. Especially when I was in junior high school, everyone annoyed me. ”

　　"Commonly known as the second disease?"

　　Ying Ru smiled, "No. At that time, my parents were clamoring to get back together. ”

　　Ye Qingtang sat up at once, because this was the first time that Ying Ruji had mentioned to her in detail about his family.

　　Ying Ruyu briefly stated the past of Liang Suzhi and Ying Zhongze's chicken flying dog jumping, "When I was in elementary school, if I went to my mother's house for dinner, my father would ask me, 'Did that Pan Jinlian find a wild man again'..."

　　He lowered his gaze, his voice low and calm, "Yes, my father called my mother Pan Jinlian." My mom called my dad Chen Shimei. I was sandwiched between them, and it was the trash can they insulted each other. ”

　　Ye Qingtang opened his mouth and did not make a sound.

　　"So I can't understand why they want to get back together, and I can't agree with such a deformed relationship that viciously curses each other and willfully drags everyone around them into the swamp." Fortunately, they lived together for a while, and then they quarreled again, and did not mention the reunion again. ”

　　"And then, did it become stopped?"

　　Ying Ruyu shook his head, "But then I will get angry and tell them what to say to each other personally." When my dad remarried, my mom ran to his wedding and made a big fuss; later my mom remarried—that is, with Lu Mao's father, my dad did the same. Therefore, Lu Mao was also in pain. ”

　　So that time Lu Mao told her that he and Ying Ruyu were comrades-in-arms with the same disease.

　　Ying Ruyu reached out and pinched her slightly sluggish face, smiled and said, "Rest assured, I will block all this for you, and they will not make trouble for you when they go crazy." ”

　　"No, no..." Ye Qingtang said busily, "I'm not thinking about this." I was thinking, so you said, you're very cautious about marriage. ”

　　"Hmm. To be honest, I have never believed that a broken mirror can be reunited. I had just returned home, and my ex-girlfriend..." He glanced at her, as if to confirm whether she minded him mentioning the subject, "and I was contacted to express ideas such as starting over." I was busy at the time, she was a lawyer, even busier, and we couldn't even find time to have a meal together. But we know each other that it is not that we cannot take time, but that we think that the other person is no longer worth taking extra time. So I'm more convinced that a relationship is actually sentenced to death when both parties have agreed to end. ”

　　"But..." Ye Qingtang reached out and grabbed the neckline of his shirt, as if this was not enough to express his feelings, and hugged him again, "You have returned your head twice for me." ”

　　“...... be. ”

　　"Why?"

　　"Because it's you." Ying Ru smiled.

　　Love is knowingly committing crimes, obsessing in pain, and stubbornly persevering.

　　As long as you call, I am willing to lean over.

Chapter 37 -37- Willing to become a common man

　　Ye Qingtang hadn't spoken for a long time, and Ying Ruyu felt strange and looked down to see, and she buried her face in his shoulder socket and whispered, "Don't look at me." ”

　　Ying Ruyu chuckled, "... Where is the crying point? ”

　　“...... I don't know, must have drunk too much wine at night. She didn't want to admit that, rather than being moved, she was actually afraid, and if she didn't see her heart, she wouldn't have missed him.

　　"Well, don't cry." Ying Ru said this, but couldn't help but lift her face, bad mentality, because the way she cried was really beautiful, "Your tears have to be kept against me at the critical moment."

　　Ye Qingtang laughed out loud, her fingers hooked his neckline, touched the collarbone again, and whispered, "My courier has arrived." ”

　　The topic turned a little quickly, and I thought for a moment, "What did you buy?"

　　"New underwear. Do you like white? Her breath was like a dandelion brushing across her skin, "There's lace."

　　Should be sent as sent without speaking.

　　"Want to see, the first-place student in the general examination." Her fingernails coated with grapefruit nail polish lightly scraped the knot in his throat, "... If you want to see it, I'll be waiting for you at your student union office today. ”

　　This is today's script.

　　When he looked down and kissed her, he saw her smile, like a scheming demon sister.

　　-

　　After choosing a weekend, Ye Qingtang and Ying Ru sent a visit to Ying Guandai.

　　Miss Ye has half-tied hair today, wears an over-the-knee dress with light yellow flowers on a white background, and dresses up like a beautiful and gentle primary school Chinese teacher, she said that she looks ladylike.

　　The gift is a box of tea leaves, a few books and a massage pillow, if it is not enough to send it, there is no need to be so grand, Miss Ye may also want to add a set of four treasures of the study room.

　　Ying Guandai lived in the old staff building of Nancheng University, there was no elevator, but fortunately it was only on the fourth floor, and the right to get up was to exercise.

　　YingRu brought the key, but still knocked on the door.

　　A voice inside said "Here it comes," and the wooden door opened, followed by the green iron door outside.

　　Ye Qingtang hurriedly greeted: "Hello Grandpa Ying, we have come to disturb." ”

　　Ying Guandai's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Come in quickly--it's hot outside, right?" ”

　　"It's okay to drive over."

　　Aunt Ding came over to Ye Qingtang to find new slippers that she had specially bought, and took the gift she handed her.

　　When he entered the house, Ying Guan Dai couldn't help but look at Ye Qingtang, and his smile never went down, "I will call you Qingtang?" ”

　　"Yes, my parents and Teacher Ying call me that."

　　"Teacher Ying." Ying Guan Dai smacked it, "You call him that?" ”

　　“...... Get used to it. Ye Qingtang was inexplicably a little shy.

　　Aunt Ding brought the dried herbal tea up, Ye Qingtang took a sip, smiled and said, "It tastes like my family's flower tea, a little jasmine flavor." ”

　　Ying Guandai smiled and said, "It was sent by your father, and I am his old customer." I've heard your parents flounder have a deep affection, but I didn't expect it to be reflected in the name. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "Yes, I also said that they, Xiu En Love is Xiu En Love, why don't even I let go." ”

　　Ying Ruyu on the side showed a few doubtful expressions.

　　Ying Guan Dai glanced at him, "You don't know? Qingtang is an alias for Acacia. Fan Chengda's poem, "Give the king a dan thorn to forget the worries of the grass, the flower of the green begonia acacia". ”

　　"That's the way it is." Ying Ru smiled and said, "I always thought it was literal. ”

　　That's not wrong. My dad said that even if it is understood as a green begonia flower, it is a beautiful misunderstanding. ”

　　As they talked, they heard the cat bark, jumped out of the study, and jumped under the sideboard.

　　"Sentence read, come here." It should be called as it should be.

　　Cats naturally don't care.

　　Ying Ru said: "It is afraid of life at first, and it will be better to wait until it is familiar." ”

　　"Can I have a look?"

　　"Hmm."

　　Ye Qingtang went to the restaurant and crouched in front of the side cabinet, she tried very hard to look inside, but only saw a black shadow, motionless, not even sure if it was a cat.

　　"Sentence reading." Ye Qingtang held out his hand.

　　In a moment, she saw the black shadow move, followed by a head sticking out, but it was less than a second, not even enough for her to see where her facial features were, and then she hid back.

　　Ying Ru came over and opened the cabinet door and took out a can from inside.

　　Immediately there was a "meow" sound underneath.

　　Ying Ru opened the can and handed it to Ye Qingtang.

　　Ye Qingtang waited for a while, and the sentence reading finally came out, but it was very vigilant and slipped away at any time. She wasn't in a hurry either, and put the can in front of herself.

　　After all, it is difficult to resist the temptation of canning, so I came forward, sniffed closely, and buried my head in the mouth for a moment.

　　You should send a whispered reminder: "You try to touch your head." ”

　　Ye Qingtang reached out and slowly reached for the top of its head.

　　It stopped moving for a moment, but did not dodge, and continued to eat canned food.

　　Ye Qingtang's fingers touched the hairy cat's head, and he almost wrote "It touched me" on his face.

　　Ying Ru couldn't help but smile.

　　By the time it was time to eat, the sentence would have come to rub her tentatively, but when she really wanted to touch it, it jumped away proudly.

　　During the meal, Ying Guandai mentioned that on New Year's Day, Ying Ru was sent to the blind date, "I was at that time the guests were waiting at home for dinner, and he called me when he arrived, saying that there was already a favorite girl. I said, you're now making an excuse to coax me when I'll believe it. He said, don't believe you ask Aunt Ding, she has seen. ”

　　Aunt Ding, who was beside her, was busy laughing at this time and said, "I should have told you at that time, but we also have rules for doing this business, and generally we don't dare to talk about it." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and asked, "Then did you really escort him to bear the guilt of Jingjing?" ”

　　"Yes, the number of gifts must always be thorough."

　　Ye Qingtang turned his eyes to see Ying Ruyu, he looked as usual, and even asked, "Who told you?" ”

　　"Who else can there be, Lu Mao?"

　　"Do you know Lu Mao?" Ying Guan Dai asked.

　　"He interned with me. However, this time he seemed to be busy with graduation and didn't go much. ”

　　"Xiaolu's school abroad has been settled?"

　　"That's it." It should be sent as it is said.

　　"It's better to go out and practice."

　　Ye Qingtang was silent for a moment, thinking to herself, whether Wu Qingshu had to break up with him, exotic love, how could her personality be discussed.

　　After eating, Ying Guandai said to take Ye Qingtang to visit his study.

　　The area is really not big, but on the shelves, on the chairs, on the floor... Stacks of books filled with fear of a loud sneeze and they all fell.

　　Books were also gathered on three sides of the desk, and the top stacks of books were all written manuscript papers. Where I really write, there is only inches of space, and there is a horizontal manuscript paper with the logo of Nancheng University printed on it, and on it is pressed a magnifying glass and two old-fashioned heroic pens.

　　"You have a lot of books."

　　"Nothing else, just a lot of books."

　　"When I was a child, my father also had such a study, and then he began to do business, and the books were read less and less, and now most of the tomes in the study are all bought hardcover editions for decoration."

　　"Learning and doing business is the way out. If your father didn't go into business, where did I get such delicious and affordable tea? Ying Guandai said with a smile.

　　Ye Qingtang went around to the bookcase that had hit the glass cabinet door, glanced inside, and stopped for a moment.

　　She waved at Yingru with a small amount of force, smiled and said, "Come here." ”

　　"What's wrong?" The moment Ying Ruji took a step, he suddenly remembered.

　　Ye Qingtang opened the glass cabinet door, pointed to the model of a mustard bookstore inside, and asked with a smile, "What is this?" ”

　　She had speculated early on that Shen Fei had gone to replace Ying Ru's model, but she had not found it in Ying Ru's office and study, and she was a little shaken. He had thought that someone was hiding so deeply.

　　Ying Ruyu smiled and explained, "At that time, I was reluctant to throw it away, but when I saw it, I was upset, so I put it back to My grandfather for me to keep it." ”

　　"I'm upset and obsessed with what I'm doing."

　　"It's not just something that's done to you." You should send a soft smile, this sentence is extremely low.

　　Ye Qingtang was embarrassed to listen to the meat and hemp again, after all, there was still Grandpa Ying present.

　　She took a copy of the Seal Character Seal from the bookshelf, flipped it over casually, and asked Ying Guandai: "Teacher Ying said that you have his junior high school album here?" ”

　　"Yes. I look for it. I remember in the bedroom. ”

　　After a while, Ying Guandai said that he had found it, and Ye Qingtang walked out of the study.

　　Ying Guandai sat down on the sofa, and Ye Qingtang sat next to him, and he opened it and pointed it out to her one by one.

　　Ying Ruji stood behind the sofa, behind Ye Qingtang, and looked down from time to time.

　　Those old photos that have been washed out, put a little yellowed for a long time, are the natural color of the years.

　　The photos are not small, Ying Guandai said, they are all taken by Ying Ru's grandmother, she did not have much business in the housekeeper at that time, most things were handed over to Ying Zhongze and her mother's brothers, and she only concentrated on taking care of the daily life and reading of Ying Ru.

　　"Has Grandma died many years ago?"

　　"If she were in college, she would have left." Ying GuanDai sighed slightly.

　　Ye Qingtang was also silent for a moment.

　　The album turned to the next page, and a group photo of three people appeared, in addition to Ying Guandai and Ying Rushou, another Ye Qingtang guessed that it should be Ying Rushou's grandmother, she picked up a special spirit, petite but appeared to be very capable.

　　The three of them were at the entrance of the junior high school attached to Nancheng Normal University, which should be a graduation photo, and there was a red banner with the words "Happy Graduation" hanging on the teaching building behind them.

　　"The clothes that should be sent, did he build them himself or did his grandmother help build them?"

　　This kind of detail Ying Guan Dai did not remember, he turned his head to look at Ying Ruyu.

　　Ying Ru sent a message: "Grandma took it." ”

　　"Then her vision is also too good, this short-sleeved white shirt and black pants, is the standard of school grass - and, thanks to Grandma's eyes and beautiful genes, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to pick up bargains." 」

　　Ying Guan Dai laughed.

　　Should also laugh if sent. One sentence praised three people, and she was always gifted in making people happy.

　　When he left on this day, Ying Guandai sent people to the door and asked Ye Qingtang to come and play at any time.

　　Ye Qingtang agreed and smiled, "There will be more opportunities to disturb you in the future." ”

　　"That's a lot of asking."

　　Ying Guandai repeatedly told the two to pay attention to safety, until they went down to the third floor, Ye Qingtang heard the door upstairs close.

　　Back at the car, Ye Qingtang looked at the model in his hand that was sent back today and was ready to take home, and said without a head: "I want to apologize to you." ”

　　"Huh? For what? ”

　　"I used to say, why would you want to live the life of a common man?"

　　Ying Ru looked at her, and she was constantly turning the transparent box containing the model upside down in one direction.

　　She said: "Maybe because of my family atmosphere, it is the kind of warmth that can become a textbook model, and the people in it are accustomed to it, let alone overly yearning." Including Lin Muyong..."

　　She looked up at him, and he looked as usual, and she continued, "I knew then that he was going to get married, and that he was going to be married, and for a moment I felt, ah, he was just a common man. But just now I seem to understand. Like your grandparents, like my parents. A pair of new parents, discussing to give their children a name that means acacia — I can't imagine that love can have a better home than this. ”

　　Ying Ru looked at her with a smile, "I am waiting for you to summarize your statement." ”

　　"My summative statement is..." She placed the model box on the center console, propped up the armrest box in the middle, and leaned toward him, her kiss warmer than the daylight in the thick shade of the summer trees.

　　Her concluding statement was:

　　Love can be lonely, it can be rebellious, it can be destroyed, it can be corrupted, it can be depraved, it can be sacrificed, it can be sacrificed, it can end without illness, it can stop abruptly...

　　There can be ten thousand forms.

　　And the final whereabouts she hoped for, "I will willingly become a common man." ”

Chapter 38 -38- You have long since dwelt in my heart

　　-38-

　　In early July, the book fair opened as scheduled.

　　Two or three days after the launch, the average daily reception reached a peak.

　　Ye Qingtang and Wu Qingshu were so busy that they had no time to be depressed.

　　"I'm not happy because of the breakup, what are you for?" During the noon break, when eating takeout in the staff lounge, Wu Qingshu asked.

　　"Because someone promised me that I would never be wrong about any book fair in the future, I ended up going abroad these days because of what kind of awards I wanted to participate in."

　　Wu Qingshu glanced at her and wrote on her face, "That's it?" ”

　　Ye Qingtang was curious: "Did you really break up with Lu Mao?" ”

　　"Or else?"

　　"Just because he's going abroad?"

　　Wu Qingshu picked out the minced garlic in the dish one by one, and the process made her extremely irritable, "... I'm too lazy to wait for him, I don't see him every day, just by video? Stupid to die. And he's twenty-one, I'm twenty-six, and I'm twenty-seven right away. Even if he waits two years to return home, I will be twenty-nine years old, and it will be time to get married. No results, too lazy to play. ”

　　Ye Qingtang looked at her, "It's as if in these two years you will start looking for someone for the purpose of getting married." It's not Lu Mao, and you don't seem to have any ideas to socialize and meet new people. Don't tell me you're going back to Fang Shao again. ”

　　"Don't mention the men in the stinky gutters."

　　Ye Qingtang laughed, "I think it is better not to judge a person by age." How do you know he doesn't want to marry you? ”

　　"What to marry?" He hadn't even started his career at that time, was he at home? His mother's personality, you should also listen to as mentioned in the mail. As for my house, huh..."

　　Ye Qingtang was still about to speak, and Wu Qingshu said, "Don't persuade me." ”

　　She threw the chopsticks away, too lazy to pick again, "What's going on with these merchants, they all specially commented that they don't want green onions, ginger and garlic, I want to give them a bad review..."

　　If, if Lu Mao was there, he would definitely smile and comfort her, and would pick up the chopsticks and pick out all the things she didn't want to eat for her...

　　Only for a second for this thought to flash, Wu Qingshu quickly stopped.

　　She put away the takeaway packing box and said calmly: "I'm full, go out to buy coffee, do you want it?" ”

　　"Wait for me, I'll go with you." Ye Qingtang said.

　　After packing up their things, the two left the venue through the back door and went to a nearby Starbucks to buy a dozen or so cups of iced coffee.

　　Turning back to the staff lounge, Ye Qingtang turned sideways and opened the door with his arm, looked inside, and paused.

　　Wu Qingshu, who was walking behind, sensed it and quickly took two steps forward.

　　Lu Mao, who was sitting on the seat, stood up, bowed his head slightly at Ye Qingtang, followed by walking over and took the two bags of coffee in Wu Qingshu's hand, put them on the table, grabbed her wrist, and involuntarily took her outside, "Let's talk." ”

　　"Who wants to talk to you..." But the mouth could not stand the disparity in strength.

　　Ye Qingtang sighed, distributed the coffee to the employees, and left a cup for Wu Qingshu.

　　She drank her own cup of ice American, took out her mobile phone, and sent a message to Ying Ru: If you don't come back, I will cheat.

　　She didn't get a reply, and she didn't care much, probably because the other party was busy.

　　From the afternoon to the evening, there is more traffic.

　　Employees and interns perform their respective duties, which is short of manpower or temporary situation, Ye Qingtang, the general manager, will go up.

　　After Wu Qingshu was taken away by Lu Mao, she did not come back all afternoon, and she did not want to disturb them, one person withstood the lack of two people, and was too busy to drink water.

　　At eight o'clock in the evening, today's exhibition ended, and Ye Qingtang directed people to do inventory and cleaning.

　　After everyone else had gone, she lay down on the lounge couch for a while, getting up tiredly and packing her bags. She noticed that Wu Qingshu's bag was still there and had not been taken away, so she was ready to take it with her, and then she went to the car to call and ask her and send it back.

　　Footsteps sounded outside.

　　"Qingshu?" Ye Qingtang asked.

　　No one answered, and the door was pushed open.

　　Ye Qingtang looked up, stunned, lost the thing in his hand, and ran over two steps to pounce directly, "You're back!" ”

　　Ying Ru sent a flower in one hand and a trophy in the other, and opened his arms in time.

　　He laughed and said, "I was already on the plane when you sent WeChat." ”

　　Ye Qingtang put his arms around his waist and looked up, "Didn't you say it would take three days to come back?" ”

　　"Hmm. I received the award and came back early, and I didn't bother to participate in the later exchanges. What if someone cheats a day later? Ying Ru said with a smile.

　　Ye Qingtang snorted softly, "Do you think I'm threatening you?" ”

　　"Don't dare think so."

　　Ye Qingtang smiled, "You bought me flowers." She let go of her hand and stepped back slightly.

　　"And this." The trophy should be delivered as if it had been delivered.

　　Ye Qingtang recognized the words on the pedestal and smiled, "It's not a Pritzker Prize." "Pritzker is the highest honor in the architectural world.

　　“...... You look up to me. ”

　　"It's not that the golden age of an architect's career begins at the age of forty, you're still young."

　　Ying Ru smiled, "Then I will strive to win you a Pritzker in my lifetime." ”

　　He glanced into the lounge, "You're alone?" ”

　　"Hmm. Qingshu was abducted by your brother and has not returned. ”

　　"Maybe eloped."

　　"Very likely."

　　Both of them looked at each other and laughed.

　　Should you say, "Show me around?" ”

　　"Okay." Ye Qingtang made a "please" gesture, "Now is the special time for Mr. Ying alone."

　　They walked back to the gate and started from the beginning along the elaborately designed line of spectators.

　　The entire exhibition hall is high and wide, surrounded by white walls, the top of the head is not superfluously decorated, and the load-bearing beams and columns are directly exposed to the outside. The space is very simple, like a canvas that people can paint at will.

　　Ye Qingtang asked people to hang countless translucent long white exhibitions from the top according to the rules, on which were printed the classic words and phrases of the key exhibits of this year, and when they looked up, they seemed to be in the white forest of thought.

　　This installation became a popular photo shooter, and everyone spontaneously punched in and posted on major social media, bringing a very considerable stream of visitors to the book fair.

　　You should look up for a moment, "Very romantic. It makes me feel sorry again. ”

　　"Regrets?"

　　"Hmm. You shouldn't miss the exhibition you held at A Mustard Bookstore last year, it must be very romantic. ”

　　Ye Qingtang tilted his head slightly to look at him for a moment, smiled and said, "You can ask Mr. Tang if he would lend you your architectural design exhibition." ”

　　"Great idea."

　　The whole exhibition hall is roughly divided into four areas: books, installations, activities and shopping cash registers, and the circulation line is designed reasonably, so that people can visit all the booths without having to go back.

　　The book area is divided according to photography, architecture, graphic design, literary and artistic works, etc., and each booth has a unique number, such as photography beginning with P (Photography), architecture beginning with A (Architecture), and so on.

　　Along the way, the ubiquitous display of posters and shelves intrigued visitors and attached booth numbers to guide them to the designated location.

　　Ye Qingtang said: "In fact, in terms of exhibition arrangement, I am not referring to the experience of other exhibitions, many domestic comic exhibitions, book fairs I have been to, mostly in the order of exhibitors, you can always see that large exhibitors are often arranged in the most eye-catching position." Hilarious, but chaotic. But comic-con is still more carnival-like in nature, and maybe it's enough to be hilarious – guess what, my main reference object is? ”

　　Ying Ru thought for a moment and asked with a smile: "Won't it be IKEA?" ”

　　"It's IKEA!" Ye Qingtang was happy that he had guessed right.

　　"IKEA's moving line design and category distribution do have a lot to learn from."

　　"Let's go shopping together next time." I want to hear about your analysis as an architecture professional. ”

　　"Okay." Should be said with a smile.

　　The venue is very large, even if it has been cleared and the shop is very busy, it is still half an hour to finish.

　　Ying Ru sent a few books on architecture and graphic design, Ye Qingtang took a picture of the bar code, indicating that tomorrow he would enter the system to check out, the computer had been turned off, and today's inventory data had also been summarized and registered.

　　They went back to the lounge, and the pile of things they had to take told Ye Qingtang that he couldn't get his hands on.

　　Ying Ruyu pushed her suitcase, took her bag and trophy, and told her to only hold Wu Qingshu's bag and hold a whole bunch of flowers.

　　The flowers are green hydrangeas, wavy orange stems, white six flowers and large flying swallows, only green and white, fresh as green milk ice cream.

　　They went out of the gate, Ye Qingtang closed the main gate of the exhibition hall, went to the security office at the door to register and sign as the person in charge, and asked the security guard to help lock the door.

　　After all this is done, today's work is completely over.

　　In the rear parking lot, Ye Qingtang found his car.

　　"I'll drive it." YingRu said, "You take a break." ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled and handed over the car keys, "Thank you Teacher Ying." ”

　　Ying Ru was going to carry the suitcase to the trunk, Ye Qingtang said, "Wait a minute."

　　He stopped, and she tiptoed and kissed him through the bouquet of flowers.

　　She stepped back, but Ying Ruyu grabbed her wrist and pushed it against the car, and he leaned over the bouquet of flowers, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed it hard.

　　-

　　After taking a bath, Ye Qingtang picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, and Wu Qingshu had not yet replied to her.

　　She was vaguely worried and called her over.

　　As soon as it rang, the phone was rejected, followed by a message from Wu Qingshu on WeChat: I'm fine.

　　Ye Qingtang was about to reply, and another photo was sent.

　　She nodded and jumped straight out of bed, "... Should be sent as mailed! ”

　　Ying Ruyu was shaving in the bathroom, he was afraid to wait for her to prick her, this sudden sound made his hand crooked, and the blade cut a blood stain.

　　"What's wrong?" He opened the water dragon to rinse the razor, poured a bunch of water to wash off the foam of the face jaw, and then pulled out a facial tissue and pressed the place where the blade had cut.

　　And Ye Qingtang couldn't wait any longer, so he ran directly into the bathroom and enlarged the picture to show him.

　　The woman wears a diamond ring on her hand and middle finger.

　　Ying Ru sent a response, "Your friend? ”

　　Ye Qingtang nodded, "Your brother will be good." Is this the year, too fierce. ”

　　Should be sent to pick an eyebrow.

　　Obviously, the interest in understanding this gossip had overwhelmed the others, and Ye Qingtang lay back on the bedroom bed and dialed The language phone to Wu Qingshu.

　　After being rejected twice, she tirelessly dialed the third time, Wu Qingshu finally answered, "... Why? ”

　　"I just wanted to make sure you survived. What just came over is not a network map. ”

　　Wu Qingshu laughed, "... Am I so bored? ”

　　"Did you say yes?" Did you say yes? Ye Qingtang asked eagerly.

　　“...... I won't get out of bed. ”

　　"..."What a tiger-wolf word.

　　"So what do you say now, are you going to break up?"

　　"Can't do it. If I wasn't old enough, maybe he would have dragged me straight to get my license. ”

　　"You said at noon that you didn't want to talk about exotic love!" Hypocritical woman. ”

　　"I don't want to, just a little... Do you understand being dazzled by diamonds? ”

　　Ye Qingtang was twisted into a ball by the sweetness of his sister's love, "It's okay, I will allow you to fake public welfare for private use, and I will leave you to do a good job in the future when you go abroad to buy things." Don't break up, or we won't have a chance to be concubines..."

　　“...... not. ”

　　“...... What's your voice over there? Ye Qingtang immediately reacted when he asked the exit, as if he had heard something dirty, and quickly hung up the phone. She is not a pure love player, but at the moment, her ears are still red, and she thinks that Qingshu's sister still has to play more.

　　Ying Ruyu had come out of the bathroom and looked at her with a smile, "What a concubine? ”

　　Ye Qingtang grabbed a pillow and threw it over.

　　Ying Ru picked it up and threw it on the bed, kneeling at the end of the bed, and then grabbed her ankle and directly dragged her over.

　　"What are you doing?" Ye Qingtang laughed.

　　She noticed something, reached out and pressed the back of Ying Ruyu's neck to make him lower his head, staring at a red mark on the skin of his jaw, "Scratched? ”

　　Without waiting for a voice to be sent, she lifted her head, licked the wound lightly, and immediately withdrew.

　　Just look at him and smile.

　　She was always like this, taking a little bait, and even if she waited patiently for the net, she seemed happy to see him lose her mind for her, and enjoyed such a routine.

　　Of course he is too.

　　-

　　After the book fair ended, Ye Qingtang began to plan the architectural design exhibition for LAB.

　　Ying Ruyu said hello to Tang Wangqian and easily obtained the right to use the Mustard Bookstore.

　　Ye Qingtang was very familiar with it, and it was easy to plan.

　　She has never been perfunctory in her work, and since she began planning, she has combed through the public information of all the projects that LAB is responsible for designing. The part that should be sent to her, she had mostly inspected it before, but it saved a lot of effort.

　　The book fair and the architectural design exhibition are parallel, Ye Qingtang is so busy that she regrets entrusting this matter to her, even if she repeatedly emphasizes that the exhibition is mostly only for the industry, she refuses to relax, and even said that it is precisely because it is for professionals in the construction industry that it is even more sloppy.

　　She didn't want to make jokes, whether it was LAB's or her own.

　　By the autumn, the main building of the Tea Culture Museum was completed, and their courtyard in the suburbs, the base part was also completed;

　　Ying Ru sent a custom-made black walnut dresser to the cloakroom, which he and the designer of the wood-making studio he worked with;

　　Zhuang Yujin has left Nancheng and gone to Argentina, saying that he will return in the New Year;

　　Wu Qing comfortably responded to the exotic love, although he always shouted to break up, and when he saw the diamond ring in his hand, he was determined to wait;

　　Some publishing houses asked Ye Qingtang to act as an agent and negotiate with Linton about the introduction of Chinese copyright in "Cuckoo Bells", Ye Qingtang politely refused, gave Linton's contact information, and asked the company to directly connect with him, after that, she heard that the company successfully won the copyright of Chinese;

　　Last year, Ye Qingtang successfully launched the Chinese edition of the photo album negotiated for the Finnish-American photographer, and the studio got a part of the autograph copy, put it in its own store, and sold it out;

　　Sun Miao and Yao Hui received the certificate, the red hair was in the circle of friends, Ye Qingtang privately corresponded to Ru Zhi, and they smiled like two jubilant New Year painting dolls in their ID photos;

　　Chu Yu and Jenny's wedding is scheduled for December 21, the day of their love anniversary and engagement anniversary.

　　Life moves forward without a hitch, and there are always small surprises.

　　By the beginning of November, LAB Architects' design exhibition opened at Ichigo Book House.

　　The exhibition lasts for three weeks and is free of charge, but limits the number of visitors to 500 people a day.

　　Ye Qingtang would be present every day in case of emergency.

　　In addition to the design of the physical object, photographic pictures and architectural models, there is also an augmented reality experience module, exhibitors wear AR glasses, you can follow the fixed gestures, interact with the three-dimensional model, or watch the virtual building, on a blank piece of paper, from the foundation to the completion, the magical process of leaping up.

　　By late November, the exhibition was over.

　　The last day of the exhibition was covered with cold rain, resulting in few visitors.

　　The main building of the Mustard Bookstore is empty and quiet, with only the occasional sound of footsteps.

　　Ye Qingtang and Ying Ruji stood on the platform on the third floor and looked down, the spiraling slow steps extending downwards, and black and white architectural photographs hung on the walls along the road.

　　In the black and white space, it does not seem cold or monotonous, only the incomparably quiet that makes people's mood slow down, and you can hear the sound of rain coming from outside the window.

　　Ye Qingtang's voice was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing this quiet atmosphere: "Do you remember that last year you gave me an umbrella, which was also such a rainy day." ”

　　"Hmm."

　　"If I were to get in your car to shelter from the rain at that time, would you say yes?" Ye Qingtang asked with a smile.

　　"Absolutely. I've always done nothing with you — but you don't, and I thought you would. Ying Ru paused, "I'm waiting for you to pass." ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head slightly, "Really? ”

　　"Really." Ying Ruyu looked down at her, "I was in Singapore for two or three months, thinking that this matter had passed, until then I saw you by chance in the rain. I thought that I deserved to be wet, but I still couldn't bear it. ”

　　Ye Qingtang smiled lightly, "You love me so much." ”

　　"Yes." Ying Ruyu also chuckled and admitted frankly.

　　By six o'clock in the afternoon, the last visitor was sent off and the entire exhibition officially ended.

　　Ye Qingtang's habit is that at the end of each exhibition, she will always walk along the moving line of her own design and finally walk again, stopping at the end as the final farewell.

　　This time, the end is on the bench on the third floor.

　　On the opposite wall, a huge photograph is placed, which is the Mustard Book House itself.

　　Sitting in a mustard book house and watching the "mustard book house", there is a kind of wonderful nesting doll cycle.

　　She braced herself with both hands behind her, quietly enjoying the moment of her own after the end of the scene, both satisfied and lonely.

　　A voice from downstairs should be sent, "Qingtang? ”

　　"I'm upstairs."

　　Footsteps came not lightly or heavily, and gradually approached.

　　Ye Qingtang looked up, "Aren't you going to dinner with a few friends in the industry?" ”

　　"Hmm. Ask Shen Fei to take them first, and I'll wait a while. ”

　　"You don't have to send me, I'll drive back by myself." But you're going to bring me a late-night snack. ”

　　"Okay." Send a smile.

　　He came over, sat down next to her, and quietly looked with her at the "Mustard Book House" opposite.

　　"Qingtang."

　　In the silent space, his voice had a kind of jade striking with the joy of each other.

　　"Huh?"

　　"Thank you. The exhibition was perfectly organized. ”

　　Ye Qingtang laughed, "It's a matter of being entrusted to be loyal to others." ”

　　"No, it's not. I know it's because of me, you put in extra emotional and hard work. I think it was my honor to have you summarize me for the first thirty-four years of my life. ”

　　Ye Qingtang turned his head to look at him.

　　And he was staring at her, extremely pious and serious, "... Are you willing, starting today, and it is up to you to start my life for the rest of my life. ”

　　Ye Qingtang's heart tightened.

　　Then he reached out and pulled out a dark blue square box from his coat pocket.

　　He opened the box, took out the ring inside, got up, and then knelt down on one knee in front of her, just as she crouched down in front of him and confessed to him.

　　"Qingtang, please marry me."

　　It was only after a moment that Ye Qingtang reacted, her heart was obviously so happy that her heart was like a glass bottle poured into the lava of the hot stars, ready to burst at any time, but the first reaction was to roll down the tears.

　　She immediately laughed again and handed over her fingers.

　　"I do."

　　The moment the ring was put on, she grabbed Ying Ruyu's hand and tried to pull him to his feet.

　　Instead, he just crouched down and pressed his hand against the back of her neck, causing her to lower her head.

　　Foreheads touching, he looked into her eyes in the shadow of her bowed head, chuckled softly, looked up, but went to kiss her tears.

　　Ying Ruyu immediately stood up, put his arm around her waist, and picked her up.

　　She stood on the bench again, looking down at him, her breath haunting, and she closed her eyes and held her breath.

　　Only a chuckle was heard.

　　The hand was caught, as if it were holding her finger, and the kiss landed on her ring, and he stepped back and smiled, "I have to go." ”

　　“……”

　　He said he was gone and he was really gone.

　　"Should be sent!"

　　Ye Qingtang jumped down from the bench, and he stopped his steps as expected, and firmly hugged her in the instant she ran past, this time without warning, and there was no need to lay the groundwork, he went straight down and kissed her.

　　After a while, Ying Rufang let go of her, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This time I really have to go." You go home by yourself and have a good meal, and I'll bring you a late-night snack. ”

　　"Hmm. Don't be too late, and don't get too close to other women. ”

　　Ying Ru smiled, "You have never told such a thing before." ”

　　"It's different now, it's a fiancée now."

　　"Obey orders, fiancée." He grabbed her hand again and bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand like a knight.

　　Ying Ruyu walked to the first floor, just about to walk out of the gate, overheard Ye Qingtang on the third floor shouting at him: "Ying Ruyu!" ”

　　He looked up, and she lay on her arms at the fence and laughed out loud, "There's one more word I forgot to say." ”

　　"What?"

　　"I love you!"

　　The empty space, swinging a crisp and warm echo.

　　He couldn't help but smile.

　　The rain fell into the night.

　　When you send home a supper, it is ten o'clock in the evening.

　　The house was brightly lit, the TV was on, a Netflix web series was running, but there was no one in the living room.

　　"Qingtang?"

　　He put the supper on the dining table, walked around, and found someone in the study.

　　Ye Qingtang sat on a leather chair and fell asleep on the desk.

　　He walked over to check it out and found that under her arm were the picture books she had given him before, and the syringe pen and the colored marker pen were scattered aside, and what was painted was invisible, and she pressed it under her arm, but it was probably after the story of the little girl in the red dress.

　　Ying Ru sent the caps of those pens on, only to notice that there was still a sketchbook in front of him to draw the manuscript, which fell on the page where he painted the courtyard.

　　He was about to close it when he noticed an extra line on it, and it was connected like this:

　　The green mountains are late, and the tang pear is a tree in spring.

　　The name of the merit should be sent as it is, and the poems and wine should be floating.

　　In the upper left corner, there is another line of small words: Can I live in your yard?

　　YingRu smiled and picked up the pen and wrote below:

　　You have long inhabited my heart.

　　When you drop the pen, you should reach out and gently shake Ye Qingtang's arm.

　　She made a muffled voice and slowly opened her eyes, "... You're back. ”

　　"Hmm. Get up for a late night snack, it's time to get cold in a moment. ”

　　"Then you hold me."

　　She smiled and held out her arms to him.
