What should I do if I continued the romance with Lily?

There will be a side effect of dizziness in a short time after the memory is sorted out.

Cong Ye sat weakly on the bench outside the department rubbing his temples, not sure if his dizziness was the result of this side effect or because of the tug-of-war between Qiao Yu and Lin Qing.

After sending a message to Qiao Yu, he waited and waited without waiting for a reply. Seeing that his appointment time had arrived, Cong Ye had to go ahead and finish sorting out his memory.Then as soon as he came out, he saw the two people he was thinking about were entangled at the door of the memory sorting department. It seemed that Qiao Yu wanted to go in, but Lin Qing stubbornly stopped her from entering.

Although he tried to persuade him in the past, but because he didn't understand it, it had little effect, Cong Ye had to withdraw from the battlefield honestly, sat aside and listened for a long time before he vaguely understood the whole story.

"...I just want to sort out my memory in a normal way, I don't mean to forget you."

"No, I don't worry. Unless I go in with you."

"But the doctor just said that we can't be together..."

... The above-mentioned unilateral persuasion has lasted for more than ten minutes, but Lin Qing still bites to death, it seems that there is no room for negotiation at all.

Cong Ye looked at the gradually increasing audience around the two of them, and frowned sadly.

In short, in terms of the results, Qiao Yu and Lin Qing failed to participate in the organization of the company's memory organization this time because they were both rejected by the doctor.

And Cong Ye, who had reluctantly erased part of his memory of Lin Qing, always felt that his eyes were so clear now that it could be said that he could be seen by a bystander. In the follow-up conversation between Qing and the two of them, they made a general outline of the matter.

He couldn't help but lament that it was a good thing he gave up early, and was sincerely happy for his brother Qiao Yu - this seems to have made considerable progress, doesn't it!The specific manifestation is that Lin Qing has become more and more inseparable from Qiao Yu in the company. It is almost difficult for him to find Qiao Yu to inquire about it when he is on an order. He even officially received a letter from Lin Qing a week later application.

To be honest, as a very rich company, leading researchers like Lin Qing and Qiao Yu usually have an office for each of them, this is to give them the best research environment.It was the first time for Congye to receive this type of application. He looked at Lin Qing's calm expression, and thought that this was probably the result of the two of them discussing it, so he quickly approved it for her.

"...Huh? I've never heard of such a thing, have I?"

But when he happily went to Qiao Yu's office with Lin Qing, Qiao Yu showed a very confused expression when he heard the news, and looked at Cong Ye with a look of "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" .

No, no, look at Lin Qing, no matter what you think, you should hear about it from her, right?

Cong Ye complained that these two people are really weird recently, and silently turned his head to try to convey this doubt to Lin Qing, but Lin Qing didn't change his expression as if he didn't notice, and only smiled softly at Qiao Yu , and started tidying up Qiao Yu's untidy desktop, it seemed that she wanted to make room for her own equipment.

"..."

Seeing that Lin Qing had no intention of explaining at all, Qiao Yu and Cong Ye looked at each other in confusion, and they could see from each other's eyes that they had no clue about the current situation.

What's going on with you and Lin Qing?Has your relationship been a little weird lately?

Since Lin Qing was also there and couldn't ask directly, Cong Ye squeezed his eyes desperately, trying to convey this question to Qiao Yu with a strong gaze.

"What kind of expression do you have? It's like your little finger hit the table foot while wearing flip-flops, and the flip-flops only left a character-like expression."

What kind of expression is that.

The frantic output only resulted in his friend looking at him like an idiot, so he had no choice but to loosen his eyelids that were about to cramp in frustration, and closed them forcefully.

"...Speaking of which, do you have time after get off work today?"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yu suddenly provoked the invitation. Cong Ye quickly opened his eyes and saw that Qiao Yu rolled his eyes a little awkwardly, with a hesitant look on his face, which seemed to be something unspeakable.Let him keenly smell the smell of gossip.

At this moment, he almost connected with Qiao Yu's mind. What Qiao Yu wanted to tell him must be related to the recent strange situation!The key to unlocking the mystery is in her hands!How could Cong Ye let go of such an opportunity!

"Of course there is—"

Cong Ye responded without thinking, and when he inadvertently raised his eyes, he suddenly made a hoarse voice.

Lin Qing, who was packing up his things silently, stopped at some point and stood quietly behind Qiao Yu and looked at him. His eyes were clear and cold without any emotion, but Cong Ye felt an invisible oppression feel.

"...Yes, there is something..."

He was naturally short of Lin Qing by three points, so he changed his words decisively. Seeing that Qiao Yu, who didn't know anything about the situation behind him, looked confused, Cong Ye was afraid that she would ask her, so he hurriedly said a few words with a haha. She lied that she was busy at work and might not be free, and left her office in a hurry.

... Forgive me Qiao Yu, although I really want to go, Lin Qing seems to be really unhappy.

I don't know why Lin Qing didn't tell Qiao Yu directly, but Qiao Yu always listened to her.

Forget it, it seems that there are still a lot of things to be resolved between the two of them, so he better not go into this muddy water.

Cong Ye wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and sincerely prayed for his friend.

"Today is the day when our two families eat together, do you remember?"

"Ah, ah, remember."

Before he could get used to the feeling of having another person in his space, Qiao Yu took a step outside uncomfortably, responding to Lin Qing's words.

...Is it her illusion? She always felt that Lin Qing was a little too close to her just now.

"Are you avoiding me?"

The arm was caught all of a sudden, Qiao Yu turned her head in surprise, and met the look of panic in Lin Qing's eyes again.

"..."

It does not seem to be an illusion.

Unexpectedly, even this small movement of hers could cause Lin Qing to panic. Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally softened her voice.

"I'm just not used to someone being so close to me at work, so don't think about it."

"……Um."

Lin Qing stared at her for a while before lowering his eyes, and obediently let her go.

Sometimes Qiao Yu really couldn't figure out whether the current situation was good or bad.

If it's good, at least Lin Qing now knows her feelings, and he didn't choose to reject her, but approached her very actively, consciously shortening the distance between them.

And to say it's bad - that's definitely going a little too far.Rather than saying it was an ambiguous period of mutual testing, this was more like a precautionary measure Lin Qing took to prevent her from running away again, and it gradually intensified.

How strict are these precautionary measures? Qiao Yu sometimes even thinks absurdly that if Lin Qing's sanity hadn't survived, she might be locked up by Lin Qing with an iron chain.

Although Lin Qing didn't admit it, when Qiao Yu asked why she moved into her office, she just calmly put forward the lame reason that "studying alone is a bit lonely", which seems reasonable but can't stand careful consideration. But Qiao Yu thought about the situation that Lin Qing would stay at her house until bedtime after they got off work together these days - and it was getting later and later - there was always a feeling that Lin Qing would go on like this sooner or later A premonition that a request to move into her home will be made.

...Strange, after her feelings were exposed, the situation seemed to be different from what she had imagined.

Her avoidance that day seemed to have left a very deep impression on Lin Qing. These days, whenever Qiao Yu showed any signs of similar behavior, Lin Qing would have a very violent reaction.This made Qiao Yu a little overwhelmed, so she could only accept Lin Qing's approach completely and satisfy all her requirements as much as possible.

But is it really okay to go on like this?

Qiao Yu's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, covering her eyes with her forehead hair.

They need to have a good chat.

Just looking at the current situation, I don't know when the opportunity will come to let Lin Qing think about it.

Both of them got off work very early that night. As childhood sweethearts, their parents were good friends when they were young, so they would choose a time when both families were free to have a meal together every once in a while.

When Qiao Yu and Lin Qing arrived, the food was almost ready. They sat down amidst the greetings of the parents, and picked up the chopsticks without too much politeness.

The two of them have a good relationship with their families, even after they both moved to a new city after work, their relationship has not changed much. a young man.

And as they grow older, even if it is far from the time for parents to worry, such topics will occasionally arise.

"Yuyu, a friend of mine introduced a pretty girl, do you want to meet her?"

Qiao Yu stuck a mouthful of rice in his mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, looked at Qiao's mother who was full of concern, and stammered.

"...Forget it, I don't have much time recently."

"You always say that."

Qiao's mother pretended to be dissatisfied and stared. Qiao Yu shrank her neck and took two mouthfuls of food knowing she was justified. She turned her eyes around and dared not look at Lin Qing.

"It's okay if you don't have time recently, and you're not in a hurry. When you have time, just meet him. Or do you prefer boys? That's okay. Mom will help you choose."

...How should I put it, after the development of technology to a certain extent, it is a good thing that the restrictions on the gender of lovers are not so rigid, but Qiao Yu still feels uncomfortable when hearing her mother ask such a question.

Just when she was about to talk nonsense to turn this topic over, she heard the people around her who had been silent since just now suddenly speak first.

"Aunt Qiao, Qiao Yu likes—"

Lin Qing's voice was soft and soft, but Qiao Yu's heart rose to her throat, and she looked at Lin Qing in a panic.

She wasn't ready to tell the fact that she liked Lin Qing in front of the parents of the two families, not to mention that the two of them couldn't be considered together at all, so to say it at a time like this...

As if aware of her thoughts, Lin Qing paused for a moment, and glanced at her lightly, the deliberate lip shape clearly intended to say the word "I".

"—I like girls."

Fortunately, Lin Qing still took her feelings into consideration, and he still didn't say it directly. Qiao Yu was slightly relieved, but soon realized that this sentence was not much better.

"Huh? How did Qingqing know about Qiao Yu?"

Sure enough, Lin's mother quickly discovered the problem, and her eyes became sharper, and she circled the two of them inquiringly.

"I, I told her!"

Knowing that the more hesitating at this time, the easier it is for bad things to happen, Qiao Yu quickly picked up the conversation, her nervous voice becoming a little high-pitched, overwhelmed by the unexpected situation.

"Is that so..."

Qiao's mother's voice was obviously a little disappointed. She sighed and said bitterly.

"Since we all know that we like girls, what's the matter when we meet? Qingqing, you should persuade her more and let her learn from you. This child Qiao Yu always avoids such things."

"I--"

Qiao Yu subconsciously wanted to refute, but stopped suddenly, and suddenly realized in her mind that there was something very worthy of attention in Qiao's mother's words just now.

"...Learn from Lin Qing?"

As she spoke slowly, she felt the breath of the people around her stagnate, and then she suddenly became flustered. She seemed to hesitate for a moment between stopping Qiao's mother and explaining to Qiao Yu, but this moment was enough for Qiao's mother, who didn't know anything, to speak out frankly. the whole story.

"I've seen Qingqing several times. Although it didn't work, I don't just hide like you."

"..."

"Hey, didn't Qingqing tell you?"

At this time, Mother Qiao felt that something was wrong. She looked at her daughter who bowed her head silently, and then at Lin Qing who was as pale as paper for some reason. She hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's wrong with Qingqing? Why does she look so bad!"

The other adults at the table also became nervous, and they came over to greet Lin Qing, but Lin Qing moved his lips a few times but did not make a sound, his eyes were only glued to Qiao Yu's body, but that person didn't look over, just put it down silently. He picked up the chopsticks, and Lin Qing couldn't help trembling with the slight click of the chopsticks colliding with the plate.

Just when she couldn't help but want to slap Qiao Yu's face to explain to her regardless of the occasion, Qiao Yu finally let out a sigh of relief and looked at her.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Just the right amount of concern, no flaws in the expression, no one can see that there is something wrong.

Lin Qing fell into an indescribable panic.

"Qiao Yu, I..."

The hand that wanted to grab Qiao Yu was dodged without a trace, and Qiao Yu raised her hand to feel the temperature of her forehead in an intimate manner, but Lin Qing felt that the temperature on her forehead was as cold as ice.

"Ah, sorry, my hands are too cold."

Qiao Yu quickly realized the question and withdrew her hand, looking at her with concern and gestures.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

She asked again, and Lin Qing knew that what she said was urging her to explain the meaning of not letting the adults worry, but she uncontrollably played the scene of her avoiding herself over and over again in her heart.

"...It's okay, it's probably just a little lack of sleep."

When Lin Qing heard what she said, she comforted the adults who didn't know. She saw that after Qiao Yu said "that's good", she simply looked away from herself, and her eyes fell on the table flatly. Identify what emotions.

No, Qiao Yu, don't be angry, just look at me, look at me.

Unspeakable panic stuck in her throat, Lin Qing's rationality allowed her to maintain a decent smile at the dinner table, but in fact, the inside had already collapsed into an uneasy chaos.

In the second half of the meal, Qiao Yu didn't look over again.

She was grabbed by Lin Qing's hand almost at the same time as she was out of the jumping point.

"Qiao Yu, listen to me—"

"Calm down."

Lin Qing was obviously panicked, Qiao Yu secretly reflected on her reaction at the dinner table just now, and said in a gentle voice.

"Let's talk at your house."

As if comforted by her calm attitude, Lin Qing relaxed in a daze, but still held her hand and followed her into the door step by step.

After both of them sat down, Lin Qing wanted to explain something, but Qiao Yu spoke first.

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to explain, I understand."

"You must think that it doesn't matter whether you see her or not. Aunt Lin is also a soft-hearted person. Rejecting her is much harder than rejecting a blind date, so just go to see her. Every time you come back and say it's not suitable, you can naturally ask for a period of time." clean."

"It can also save conflicts with the family, which is very good."

Qiao Yu analyzed it seriously, thinking that this is really Lin Qing's style. After all, this person is quite experienced in rejecting things. It must not be difficult for her to go on a blind date and refuse by the way.

"...I, I didn't tell you before, it's my fault..."

"Nothing like that."

The voices of the people around me were still uneasy for some reason, trembling slightly.Qiao Yu blinked gently and shook his head.

"There is nothing good or bad. This is not the kind of thing that must be told to other people. It is personal freedom to say or not, and no one will criticize you for it."

"...you are not someone else...!"

As if annoyed by her words, Lin Qing leaned towards her suddenly, Qiao Yu had to back away, but Lin Qing, who was even more flustered, grabbed his shoulders and was forced to turn around.

Ah, why, this person looked like he was about to cry.

Qiao Yu stared at it for a long while, then moved his gaze away from those misty eyes, and lowered his eyes a little tiredly.

"Is this title important, Lin Qing?"

"..."

The strength of the hand holding her shoulder became stronger again. Qiao Yu had already started to feel pain, but she didn't say it out, and changed the subject on her own.

"I've been thinking we'd have a chance to have a good chat—you know, about what's been going on lately."

"But now it seems... there is not much need to talk."

Qiao Yu suddenly felt absurd and smiled self-deprecatingly.Lin Qing was eager to refute something, but was interrupted by her.

"Lin Qing, I think you and I should both know that no one will fall in love with another person immediately after hearing that they like her."

"... Qiao Yu..."

The voice calling her name became weaker, implying pleading, Qiao Yu still stubbornly did not look at her, and continued.

"I used to be able to lie to myself that you have always liked me, but you just didn't realize it."

"But... Lin Qing."

Qiao Yu's throat choked, she tried her best to calm down, and said in a deep voice.

"If a person has someone she likes, she won't easily accept a blind date at home, will she?"

"...No, why, why not?"

To Lin Qing, these words were almost considered unreasonable troubles without logic and rules. Qiao Yu smiled back and didn't answer.

"It's okay, Lin Qing, as I said just now, this is all personal freedom, no one will criticize you for not loving me."

"I think it's probably because I put too much pressure on you before, making you feel that if you don't love me, you will lose a friend, so you are forced to force yourself to feel that you love me."

"Qiao Yu, don't... talk to yourself!"

Lin Qing's voice was still trembling, but she forced the floor to face her, so that she had to face Lin Qing face to face, looking at the expression on the other side's weeping face.

"I like you, why should you deny this matter for me? Why don't you believe me?"

"You like me..." Qiao Yu smiled suddenly, and frowned, but the words she uttered were far less warm than the smile, "I believe you like me. It's just."

"It's just this liking. It's the same as your liking for cats, the doll bear you had when you were a child, and the perfume you've been using."

"It's just that I was lucky enough to occupy the position of a childhood sweetheart, and the weight is heavier than them. When I want to let go, the pain will be more intense, so you mistakenly regard this pain as love, and then use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for me. stay."

Seeing that Lin Qing's pupils dilated slightly, and her lips trembling, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't make a sound for a long time, Qiao Yu's eyes gradually dimmed, and she took a light breath.

"I know it's hard to tell the difference."

Her voice was low, she couldn't tell what kind of mood was in her heart, she had to keep everything in her throat, and only uttered pale words.

"We've known each other for too long, and we've never been separated. We would be panicked when we parted. After all, our relationship will be a little deeper than friendship." Qiao Yu paused, and added an explanation, "Maybe for To you, it's more like family affection, like sisters."

"for me……?"

Lin Qing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly moved. Her eyes were already red. At this time, she seemed to be holding up her spirit to ask Qiao Yu back. The question she asked was almost sharp, like a double-edged sword that did not distinguish between enemy and friend.

"What about you?"

"Why can you be sure that you are true love for me?"

"..."

This time it was Qiao Yu who fell silent, Lin Qing almost thought she had won.

But she didn't feel the joy of victory in her heart. Instead, she felt an inexplicable pain, as if being finely churned into a bloody mess by a blade. Even inhaling would bring pain, which was fine but piercing.

Lin Qing suddenly felt a precarious illusion, as if she was about to fall from the clouds in the next second, and she loosened her grip on Qiao Yu's shoulder as if she lost all strength.

The moment before her hand slipped off Qiao Yu's shoulder, Qiao Yu bullied her up quietly.

Lin Qing didn't resist. Before she could react, Qiao Yu held her shoulders loosely and lay down on the sofa. Qiao Yu looked down at her from above and supported her head with one hand without any explanation.

"...You ask me why I can be sure?"

Qiao Yu's voice was different from just now, as if it contained some strong emotion, her eyes were heavy, and her eyes gradually moved down from Lin Qing's eyes, as if there was substance, which made Lin Qing's heart beat inexplicably hot.

Not only the eyes, Qiao Yu's free right hand also gently stroked up, touched the corner of her eyes, and then moved down little by little.

Cheeks, nose tip, lips.

The fingers stayed on the lips for a moment, and then continued down.

Chin, Adam's apple, collarbone.

Qiao Yu gently stroked the mole above Lin Qing's collarbone. Lin Qing felt that she deliberately pressed it, and his skin felt strangely itchy. It has not been able to disperse for a long time.

It would be better to say that all the places Qiao Yu touched were inexplicably numb, accompanied by amazing heat, an unbearable fire was ignited out of thin air, and Lin Qing's mouth was parched and he was at a loss.

She didn't understand what was going on, the body was aroused by a strange reaction, like an itching from the depths of her body that was hard to get rid of, Lin Qing didn't understand the reason for this strange feeling, but instinctively came up a thought.

—— Qiao Yu should touch it again.

She was taken aback by her unspeakable thoughts, and Qiao Yu's fingers casually slid across her collarbone, and finally stopped at her neckline.

Qiao Yuwei's fingers hooked Lin Qing's collar, and gently pulled it down.

Lin Qing's body tensed up unconsciously, her mind was blurred by the unusual heat, but she still didn't make any act of resistance, she just opened her lips slightly and breathed a little rapidly.

She's an adult and she knows what this move means.

Thousands of complicated emotions were surging in her heart, but she couldn't think of avoiding or resisting at all. She just looked at Qiao Yu quietly, waiting for something to happen in a daze in her mind.

Qiao Yu stopped at this moment.

She let go of her hand, sat upright again, then stood up hastily, and walked quickly to the door as if she was trying to avoid something.

"...I can be sure that my feelings for you are love."

The heat source suddenly went away, and Lin Qing's hazy mind became a little clearer. She propped herself up and sat up from the sofa, and heard this sentence when she subconsciously touched her collar.

Qiao Yu's voice was not steady, and she could hear her trying to restrain her panic, but obviously the effect was not very good.

"Because I have... desire for you."

She uttered the last two words very vaguely, but Lin Qing heard it clearly as if seeing a bolt of lightning brightening the night, and his eyes widened a little.

"...Let's do this for today. Let's, let's all calm down."

Qiao Yu's words were hesitant, and she lost the ease she had in the beginning. Lin Qing felt that she could hear a hint of embarrassment in her words, and when she raised her eyes to look over, she caught up with the other party looking away in a panic.

This made Lin Qing feel dissatisfied again, but strangely, it was not accompanied by that kind of panic like the end of the world.

"That's it, good night."

This was not so much saying goodbye as running for his life. Lin Qing only had time to open his mouth, but before he could make a sound, he saw Qiao Yu hurriedly opened the door and jumped out. Let's just remember closing the door lightly.

Lin Qing frowned, hesitated for a while on the idea of ​​chasing him out, and decided to respect Qiao Yu's opinion.

She does need some alone time to think, too.

Lin Qing recalled what happened just now, moved his hand on the skirt of his clothes, then raised his hand to touch the corner of his eye, and slid it down little by little.

Following the track that Qiao Yu touched just now, Lin Qing touched it again, his eyes flickered slightly.

...Just now, before letting Qiao Yu go, she should have told her the content of "desire" in detail.
