A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian has always had trouble sleeping.

I successfully signed the contract last night and was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

Writing was originally just her hobby, but she never expected that what she wrote could be published online. What a wonderful feeling!

Maybe this is the path I'm looking for.

It has been so many years since she lost her diploma and bid farewell to her professional career, but she has never found a path that she likes and suits her. Now, she seems to have found it.

Some abilities will not be lost just because you lose your diploma.

There are some paths that don't require a diploma.

Although it is too early to say so, she feels so.

During the day today, when Ye Lian thought about the fact that she had become a contracted online author, her whole body seemed to be energized. She sat in front of the computer and kept typing, forgetting to eat and sleep. It felt like time was passing so quickly that a whole day had passed in a flash.

By the evening, Ye Lian had typed out five thousand words for the first time!

It's amazing, she has never had such a good speed before!

The knocking made me feel dizzy.

When Cao Xueqin came home from get off work, she stopped because she could no longer think of any words.

When it was almost time to go to bed at night, Ye Lian was a little worried that she would not be able to sleep.

In order to sleep well, I really thought of many ways. I ate longan with lotus seeds, lily and jujube kernels, took Chinese medicine, and drank red wine before going to bed at night. Cao Xueqin also recorded white noise for Ye Lian and played it for her at night to help her fall asleep.

Speaking of white noise, Ye Lian would think of the scene where Cao Xueqin recorded white noise for her on Fengniao Mountain. Although Ye Lian later discovered that there were actually many ready-made white noises on mobile phones, she still liked to listen to the white noise recorded by Cao Xueqin.

White noise seems to have some effect. It can help people block out other noises. The sounds of nature can calm people's minds. But sometimes, white noise doesn't work. Ye Lian just listened to the sound of the stream rushing in her ears, but her head was extremely clear.

……

Anyway, sleeping is really a headache for Ye Lian.

What can I do to help me sleep tonight?

Ye Lian thought of red wine.

Ye Lian also drank red wine before going to bed before, and Cao Xueqin also saved a lot of red wine for Ye Lian.

But later Ye Lian heard that drinking alcohol is bad for the body, even mild red wine, so she hasn't drunk it for a while.

But Ye Lian wanted to drink again tonight.

Because she was very happy, she had found the direction of her struggle again, so she celebrated a little bit, and then, under the influence of alcohol, she hoped to have a good sleep at night.

When Cao Xueqin heard that Ye Lian wanted to drink, he opened a bottle for her without saying a word and drank with her.

There were two cups, both half filled with wine, very casual, and no food.

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqin sat opposite each other, both holding wine glasses, sipping the wine bit by bit and chatting casually.

"Is your company able to handle the workload now?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqin.

"We are a bit too busy now. The stent project needs to be mass-produced, and we also have to start developing other projects. We obviously don't have enough manpower." Cao Xueqin said that he was busy until very late tonight before leaving get off work.

"What should we do? Have you started recruiting people?"

"Well, we're going to start recruiting people. Do you still remember Yin Xiaoxiao?" Cao Xueqin asked.

"Of course I remember. The little one once brought us wild mushrooms to eat."

"Yes, that's her. She will also come to Meni next month."

"She really came?" Ye Lian heard Cao Xueqin talk about what Yin Xiaoxiao said to him when she left Tongxin Factory, but she didn't expect that she would really come after such a long time.

"Yes, not only her, she will bring two people with her."

"Really? Are they all from Tongxin Factory?"

"Yes."

"It's been so long, are they really willing to follow us?"

"She resigned and came here because she saw that I needed her. She believed that Cheng Yufei and I would not treat her unfairly."

"Then the salary you give her should at least not be lower than her current salary."

"Of course. You don't have to worry about this. You just need to finish writing your novel."

When Ye Lian heard this, she was so proud: "I typed 5,000 words today!"

"Really?" Cao Xueqin was also very happy for Ye Lian. He raised the glass in his hand and said, "Then let's clink glasses. Congratulations to my wife on her successful signing, her novel becoming a hit, and her writing more every day." With a sound, the two glasses clinked together.

Ye Lian took a sip of the wine and frowned slightly. In fact, she didn't like the astringency of red wine very much. She just drank it because she needed to, and of course, sometimes for romance.

Just like now, she just wants to be romantic with Cao Xueqin.

Ye Lian clinked her glasses with Cao Xueqin again and said, "Hubby, I also wish you success in your career and your company."

Ye Lian paused for a moment, and under the influence of alcohol, she continued with some emotion: "Qian, actually I have a lot to thank you for. Over the years, you have supported me in everything, made my life worry-free, saved me from many difficulties in society, and allowed me to do anything I like... In this life, I feel very happy."

Cao Xueqin felt so relieved when he heard this. He took a big sip of wine and said in a daze, "Wife, I'm drunk. You praised me so much. I'm glad you said you're happy. I'm happy too. Only a man who can make his wife happy can experience this kind of happiness. I'm proud that I didn't let you down when I promised you when we met and fell in love. Come, let's drink."

"Well, cheers!"

There was not much wine left in the glasses, so Ye Lian and Cao Xueqin drank it all in one gulp.

It’s getting late, it’s time to take a shower and go to bed.

But as soon as he put down the wine glass, the style of the picture changed and it became the daily laughter and playfulness again.

Ye Lian went to brush her teeth, and Cao Xueqin also wanted to brush his teeth with her.

Even though there were two bathrooms, he insisted on squeezing into one.

Ye Lian finished brushing her teeth first and waited for Cao Xueqin to finish brushing his teeth so that she could get water to wash her face.

Cao Xueqin was almost done brushing his teeth and took a sip of water to rinse his mouth.

Cao Xueqin was originally standing upright, and when he was about to spit out the water in his mouth, he realized that Ye Lian was staring at him.

He quickly bent down and gently spit the water into the wash basin, then said to Ye Lian with a frightened look: "You are giving me a death stare!"

Haha!

Ye Lian burst into laughter.

Because before, Cao Xueqin always liked to stand up straight and spray out mouthwash. Ye Lian was next to him, so even though she was far away, she would be splashed by the water droplets.

So Ye Lian was dissatisfied and criticized Cao Xueqin several times.

Cao Xueqin would make changes, but sometimes he would forget.

Just now, Ye Lian didn't say anything about him, but just watched him from the side. Unexpectedly, Cao Xueqin deeply felt the "pressure" of Ye Lian's gaze, and obediently bent down, gently spit out the mouthwash, and said "with lingering fear" that Ye Lian's gaze was "death stare."

So when Ye Lian suddenly heard it, she found it very funny.
