warm winter

Jiang Zhilan held on in embarrassment, and the wind was messy, but the calm mind she had cultivated in the laboratory all the year round played a huge role at this moment.She silently recited various formulas and gene sequence codes in her heart, trying to make herself look natural.

Fortunately, Jian Xinhe didn't intend to delve into it, after thinking about it for a while, it became clear, but why did Jiang Zhilan feel that the way she looked at him was even more strange?

"Although it's a good proposal, I have other things to do today, so I can't accompany you." Jian Xinhe still cared about Yuan Yuan, and declined Jiang Zhilan's invitation.

Jiang Zhilan's face was beaming, she didn't want to go to some kind of club to watch the undressed dance!Although those blond handsome guys have good figures, but she doesn't have this need!Ahem, maybe there is, but I haven't been inspired, so I don't think I have any thoughts.

But within half a minute of relaxation, she remembered her mission again, and couldn't help but lose face again. Her instant face-changing skills really made Jian Xinhe laugh, thinking that there was something wrong with making fun of Jiang Zhilan who was much older than herself, Jian Xinhe had no choice but to cover his mouth to hide his smile.

Jiang Zhilan was going all out, and she didn't want to lose face tonight because of her friends.Anyway, Jian Xinhe is not a particularly important person to her, so if you lose face, you can lose face.

After thinking it over, Jiang Zhilan let go a lot.Facing the wind, she casually grabbed a handful of her long, tousled hair, raised her hand to stroke it, and then neatly tied it into a ponytail.

Jian Xinhe watched Jiang Zhilan look a few years younger just because of the change of hairstyle, and couldn't help sighing: "You really have a pair of skillful hands."

Jiang Zhilan smiled triumphantly, raised her hands deliberately, spread her ten fingers and dangled in front of Jian Xinhe, not hiding her joy after being praised at all.

"My hands can do so many things, it's like nothing else in the world. Even my instructor said my hands are perfect!" That's right, she has completed many difficult experiments with these skillful hands.

Jian Xin's eyes were blurred, and she stared at her hands for a long time as if hypnotized, only to realize that Jiang Zhilan's ten fingers had not undergone any manicure, and the nails were also cut neatly, shiny and crystal clear.

These are a pair of perfect attacking hands, um... a bit enviable.Jian Xinhe also thought of the seemingly inexhaustible love between Ye Qing and Xiao Yuan. If Ye Qing likes girls, then does Jiang Zhilan also?

Realizing that his thoughts had spread to outer space, Jian Xinhe had to let himself calm down as soon as possible in the cold night wind.

The atmosphere between the two seems to have eased because of the back and forth jokes, but now whether to leave or stay is a question.

Jiang Zhilan was obviously still thinking about how to fabricate the next credible "reason", but Jian Xinhe had already made the first move and spoke first.

"I've been away from the hospital for too long. Xiao Yuan must have started to worry about me when I left suddenly. I have to go back quickly. She also needs my care."

At the moment of the wrong body, Jian Xinhe's arm was pulled again.This time the strength was much weaker, as long as she exerted a little force, she could easily break free.

But Jian Xinhe didn't, she stopped the first moment she was caught.

She quietly looked into Jiang Zhilan's eyes, her face was calm, without any sign of anger, and her mood was much calmer than when she suddenly cried before.

Without waiting for Jiang Zhilan to stay, Jian Xin and Seran smiled, and said sadly: "You took so much trouble to bring me here, but you are actually creating opportunities for Ye Qing, right?"

Jiang Zhilan was startled, wanted to deny it but couldn't say it, so Zhengzheng looked at her.

Jian Xin and Ben didn't need to confirm the answer from Jiang Zhilan, she had already guessed it in her heart.

"I already know, so you don't have to try hard to keep me now, do you?"

Jiang Zhilan let go in embarrassment, hanging down her legs, but her fingers didn't seem to know how to return them, and she struggled wildly, like a lost crab.

Jian Xinhe's gaze was once again attracted by Jiang Zhilan's fingers. She took a few glances before taking a deep breath and said, "If you really want to go to that store, we can make an appointment another day. But today I You have to go, pay attention to safety on the way back."

Before Jiang Zhilan could respond, Jian Xinhe hurriedly called a car and rushed back to the hospital.

She glanced at the time, thinking that Ye Qing might not have left yet.What should she do if she meets Ye Qing in the hospital later?

The distance is too short for Jian Xinhe to figure it out, and the end point has arrived.

When she hurried back to Yuan Yuan's ward, she hesitated outside for 10 minutes before knocking on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and as expected, the person who appeared was Ye Qing.It looked like she was getting ready to leave.

"Miss Ye, what a coincidence?" Jian Xinhe raised a standard smile, but there was no enthusiasm or surprise in his eyes.

Ye Qing responded calmly: "Miss Jian, hello."

Yuan Yuan's eyes kept chasing Ye Qing, if she hadn't been forced to stay on the bed, how could she not send her out?Hearing the conversation at the door, she thought to herself: Oh no!

Being with Ye Qing always makes people forget the time, until Ye Qing said it was time to leave, Yuan Yuan still wrapped her neck begging for a kiss.Probably because she felt that Ye Qing was extraordinarily beautiful tonight, maybe because Ye Qing was moved by her performance tonight, in short Yuan Yuan knew that Ye Qing was very pampering to her tonight.

From time to time, she leaned in front of Ye Qing, pursed her lips and asked for a kiss, and she could get a gentle response without waiting, which made Yuan Yuan even more reluctant to part with her.

But now she regretted it, secretly blaming herself for being ignorant.If it wasn't for her pestering Ye Qing and insisting on letting her accompany him for a while, how could it be delayed until now.

Ye Qing was bumped into by Jian Xinhe, would she tell Aunt Liu, or Dad?The more Yuan Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was not good, so he lifted the quilt and wanted to come over.

Jian Xinhe was always paying attention to the movement in the room. Although she looked at Ye Qing, she had already locked onto Yuan Yuan from the corner of her eye.Not only because she cares about Xiaoyuan, but also because she wants to see some clues from them.

Even if she already had an almost certain answer in her heart, seeing is believing to make her finally convinced, maybe giving up?

The body preceded the words, Jian Xinhe walked around Ye Qing to the ward, and whispered in a hurry and full of pity: "Xiao Yuan, what are you doing? I told you not to get out of bed alone. very dangerous."

Ye Qing turned around, and Jian Xin and Yuan Yuan were carefully supported by Jian Xin and Yuan Yuan, half obstructing and half pushing gently, completely confining Yuan Yuan to the hospital bed.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Ye Qing's eyes, but she suppressed her displeasure and walked over.

"What did you forget to promise me?"

Yuan Yuan said anxiously: "I don't, I just want to see you off."

"Didn't you say goodbye just now?"

The farewell just now... Yuan Yuan couldn't help but think back to the last passionate kiss, which was almost until she was about to suffocate before letting go. Until now, Ye Qing's warmth still seemed to remain in her mouth.

She blushed with embarrassment, rolled her eyes, and whispered shyly, "That's different."

Jian Xinhe could tell from Xiao Yuan's reaction that something was wrong, but seeing Ye Qing's calm, serious look, she felt that she was thinking too much.

Of course, Jian Xinhe didn't want Ye Qing to stay here, so he took the initiative to say: "I'll take Miss Ye down, just in time for the driver to take you back."

Ye Qing thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

It's late now, it's not convenient to call a car, and it's not so safe.She wrapped her shawl tightly, took a deep look at Yuan Yuan, then turned and left.

Yuan Yuan reluctantly chased after her figure, Ye Qing didn't look back at her until he left the ward completely.Instead, Jian Xinhe did not forget to tell her to go to bed early before closing the door.

Yuan Yuan curled her lips, everyone treated her like a child, a weak chicken, and told her to eat and sleep, and to eat when she slept, she was really like raising a pig!

The people who came to visit the patients in the corridor had already left, Yuan Yuan asked the nurse to let Ye Qing stay until now.Ye Qing walked a little faster than Jian Xinhe, but she intentionally waited for Jian Xinhe.But she deliberately slowed down, and the other party still kept a distance from her.

Into the elevator, still silent.

Knowing that Jian Xinhe took the initiative to send her off, Ye Qing definitely wanted to talk to her about Yuan Yuan.Although she doesn't want to disclose this relationship so quickly, if Jian Xinhe wants to compete with her, she doesn't mind making it clear.

The driver of Yuan's family has been waiting there, but Ye Qing is not in a hurry to go there.Knowing that she was waiting for her all the way, Jian Xinhe pursed her lips and thought about it, before deciding to go forward.

"Is it convenient to take a step to talk? I want to delay Miss Ye for a few minutes, may I?"

Ye Qingxin nodded, and took the initiative to find a relatively warm and secret corner.

Jian Xinhe lowered his eyes and looked serious.

Ye Qing was calm and relaxed, but she tugged on her shawl from time to time, not sure if it was cold or a little nervous.

"Please forgive my abruptness, I want to know why Miss Ye appeared in Xiaoyuan's ward tonight? As far as I know, today is your birthday."

Ye Qing smiled slightly, without dodging her eyes, she looked straight back at Jian Xinhe.

She said frankly: "Because I think Yuan Yuan would rather spend tonight with me, and I also think the same way."

These words can no longer be called implicit, Jian Xinhe opened his eyes wide in disbelief.She didn't expect Ye Qing to be so straightforward, he almost admitted his relationship with Yuan Yuan sideways.

"But you are...you and Uncle Yuan...you..." His thoughts became confused, and his words were incomplete. Jian Xinhe was obviously a little lost.

Ye Qing didn't intend to take the initiative, this conversation came earlier than she expected.But many things cannot be carried out according to the plan, such as her relationship with Yuan Yuan, such as the challenges she is about to face.

Jian Xinhe bit her lip, forced herself to ask again: "When did you start? Does Uncle Yuan know?"

Ye Qing thought for a while, and answered calmly: "I know that she made her mind clear on the first day she was admitted to the hospital after being injured. Yuan Honghao doesn't know yet, but I don't mind others telling him."

Jian Xinhe snorted coldly, and shook her head: "You look down on me too much, no matter how unhappy I am, I won't be a villain who complains behind my back." She stared at Ye Qing suddenly again, puzzled and a little bit annoyed He asked bitterly, "But have you forgotten your identity? Haven't you considered what will happen between father and daughter after Uncle Yuan finds out?"

Jian Xinhe has followed his parents and elder brother since he was a child, and has seen too many bloody incidents of wealthy families, most of which are for wealth and profit, but there are also love and hatred.But like the Yuan family, it was the first time for the daughter to be with her father's fiancée.

Not to mention that Yuan Yuan is someone Jian Xin and has hidden in her heart for many years, even if they are just friends, she can't bear to see Xiao Yuan fall into such a "scandal".

"I have broken off the engagement with Yuan Honghao, so before I start with Yuan Yuan, I am free." Ye Qing did not miss the contempt and disdain hidden in Jian Xinhe's eyes.

She didn't bother to explain this to everyone who questioned the relationship, but she had to stand firm in the face of Jian Xinhe, who was suspected of being a rival in love.

Even if Yuan Yuan no longer needs to question his intentions, no one will be careless about the things he cherishes and values, wishing to avoid all risks and take care of this relationship to go on smoothly.

Even though Ye Qing is 30 years old today, she is also a woman in love, so there is no exception.

Jian Xinhe felt that today might be a good time to buy a lottery ticket, and she was stimulated one after another, and learned a lot of truths that she had never dared to think about before.

"You actually broke up with Uncle Yuan because of Yuan Yuan?"

This gave Jian Xin a lot of shock. Although Xiao Yuan is very good, it is not for everyone to give up the title of President Yuan's fiancée.

Ye Qing didn't explain anymore, her cooperation with Yuan Honghao had ended, and she didn't want to bring up the old matter again.

Seeing her default attitude, Jian Xinhe sighed astringently: "It seems that you are also serious about Xiaoyuan."

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows inadvertently, Jian Xinhe's word also revealed her own feelings.

Probably plunged into grief, Jian Xinhe didn't realize that the secret she had kept in her heart for many years had been revealed by herself.

Ye lightly looked at her sad face, feeling a little unbearable in his heart.But the matter of feelings is something that cannot be controlled by others, and it is not something that can be handed over to anyone who is pitiful.

Ye Qing reached out to help Jian Xinhe, but she took a step back to avoid it.

She lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "I won't give up easily."

Jian Xinhe thought it over clearly, since Ye Qing confessed, she didn't have to pretend anymore.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, they have already tested each other, haven't they?The only person who never knew about it was Yuan Yuan.

Ye Qing was helpless, looking at this young girl who was a few years younger than her, wanted to say something to persuade her to look away, but felt that her position was not convincing.

Jian Xinhe smiled wryly and said to himself: "At that time, I thought it was because I was thinking too much. I always felt that my thoughts were very dirty, so I just kept it as my secret in my heart. I didn't expect that you could be so Do it calmly, won't you have a psychological burden? Don't you think it's unbearable?"

At the end, Jian Xin and her emotions became obviously agitated, and her tone became tough, as if asking questions.

But when she was questioning Ye Qing, she was also questioning herself. She seemed to be unable to pass the test in her heart, so she did not take any practical action for a long time, and only dared to approach Yuan Yuan slowly.

Now she finally understood that it was too late.It was her own hesitation, her own indecision, and her own shackles that made her miss the opportunity to fight for it.

Ye Qing's gaze dimmed, why hasn't she considered these issues?

"Of course I have thought about what you said. I am a few years older than you. You understand the truth. How could I not understand it?"

Jian Xinhe was angry: "Since you know it all, you still drag Yuan Yuan to sink with you, why are you at ease!"

Ye Qing was not angry because of Jian Xinhe's bad attitude, she knew that this was just the beginning, and she would encounter more harsh words in the future.

"But I can't let her go, and I don't want to let her go."

In the words, there is a sweetness that has never been seen before, a deep affection that is hard to let go, and a bit of determination to fly a moth to a flame.

Jian Xin and Leng Leng didn't know what to say for a while.

Since Ye Qing had thought about these things long ago, but still decided to be with Yuan Yuan, then she naturally knew what she would face in the future.

"Don't worry, I will protect Yuan Yuan. All the wind and rain will not disturb her, I can guarantee this."

Ye Qing's promise was not loud, but it made a hole in Jian Xin's hard heart.

"Then what if you can't stop it?"

Ye Qing's eyes became darker, she seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be struggling for the last time.Jian Xinhe clasped her hands, and became tense.

"If one day I can no longer protect Yuan Yuan, or my existence will hurt her, then I will take the initiative to leave, and I will never be greedy for any tenderness."

Jian Xinhe had to admit that she began to admire Ye Qing, she was much more determined than herself.

"Okay, please remember what I said today. I will not be a villain to tear you apart, but please protect Xiaoyuan. If you are no longer competent, I will take her back without hesitation."

Jian Xinhe couldn't tell whether she wanted Ye Qing to separate from Yuan Yuan or to go on.In fact, she had already felt that Ye Qing was not the one who was tempted first in this relationship.

But Yuan Yuan was still young at that time, and she subconsciously favored the child she cared for, so she blamed Ye Qing for all the crimes.In such a seemingly "deformed" relationship, the older party will always be the one who is attacked and blamed.

**

When Ye Qing returned to the apartment, it was rare that she didn't encounter Jiang Zhilan gossiping, but saw her lying on the bed abnormally.

Jiang Zhilan only kept a small bedside lamp, and the entire bedroom was very dark.As soon as Ye Qing turned on the headlight, she saw the drowsy sleeper frowning.

"What's going on here?"

Jiang Zhilan tugged at the quilt and said vaguely, "It's windy at night, and I have a cold."

Seeing the cold medicine on the bedside, Ye Qing stretched out his hand to touch her forehead to make sure she didn't have a fever, so she felt relieved.

"I'll get you a glass of water."

Jiang Zhilan's feeble voice sounded, which made Ye Qing feel bad.

For her relationship, it seems that it is not easy for anyone.

The cold medicine worked well. Jiang Zhilan, who was sweating all over at night, had more than half of her symptoms subsided the next day, and she even took the initiative to make breakfast.

When Ye Qing came out of the guest room, she saw that Jiang Zhilan was serving porridge for her.

"I made a pot of lean meat porridge, come and try it."

Compared with Ye Qing who is obsessed with work and relies on takeaway, Jiang Zhilan's cooking skills are barely superior.

"Tell me quickly, how did you and Yuan Yuan spend in the hospital yesterday?"

Jiang Zhilan, who had recovered from her illness, returned to her nature of gossip, and couldn't wait to inquire about it with a spoon in her mouth.

Ye Qing swallowed a mouthful of porridge slowly, it tasted good.

She turned a blind eye to Jiang Zhilan's piercing eyes, and changed the subject: "Why don't you share first, where did you take Miss Jian?"

She did not forget that when Jiang Zhilan dragged Jian Xinhe away yesterday, she looked very warm.

"Ahem, I forgot." Jiang Zhilan stammered.

Ye Qing patted the back for her, but his eyes were full of disbelief in her words.

"You forgot before 24 hours? Zhilan, if your memory becomes this bad, you may be fired by your tutor soon."

"Bah, bah, don't curse me! I have a good memory, but I have nothing special to do with her, so there is nothing to remember."

How can you say this so awkwardly?Jiang Zhilan chewed for a while, and felt that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Ye Qing didn't really want to ask, it was just to change the subject.Now that the goal has been achieved, of course she won't get to the bottom of it.

After all, courtesies are reciprocal, if Jiang Zhilan really said it, then she must also share the details of last night in the ward.She engraved every frame of those touching sweet moments in her heart, but she was ashamed to put them in front of others.

Before falling asleep last night, Ye Qing took out the IOU that Yuan Yuan wrote to her and read it again.I always felt that something was attracting me, so I sniffed it carefully close to my nose.

Sure enough, there is a touch of orange flavor.

**

Jian Xin and sure enough didn't say anything, at least Aunt Liu and Yuan Honghao didn't notice anything.Yuan Yuan was the happiest person during this period, and the people she wanted to see would come to the hospital to see her every day, whether it was Ye Qing or her father.

But adults are always busy.First Yuan Honghao and then Ye Qing told Yuan Yuan that they were going back to Haicheng for work.

Although reluctant, Yuan Yuan is not ignorant.She has long been used to Yuan Honghao's busyness, and the company during this period is already a pleasant surprise, and she dare not ask for more.

But when Ye Qing was about to leave, she couldn't help being a little coquettish.

On the plane that night, Ye Qing packed her luggage and asked Jiang Zhilan to take her to the hospital first, causing her friends to tease her, and she didn't even want to waste half a day.

Jian Xinhe was also there, knowing that Ye Qing came here specially before going to the airport, so he left consciously.What's even more surprising is that this time she took the initiative to pull Jiang Zhilan away.

I thought that everyone present knew the truth, so they didn't have to be as sneaky as before. On the way here, Jiang Zhilan was still sighing: "This time, I finally don't have to dig my head out and make up excuses. I can finally watch you spread dog food openly and aboveboard."

Ye Qing glared at her angrily: "Do you like dog food?"

"Of course I... hum!" He reacted in time, otherwise he would be compared to a hungry dog.

Jiang Zhilan fought back unconvinced: "Don't be complacent, I'm busy with the big project at hand right now. When I finish this experiment, I'll find one too, and then it won't be as simple as throwing out dog food!"

Ye Qing knew that Jiang Zhilan had always been bluffing. He had known her for so many years, and there were quite a few suitors around her, but none of them became regulars.

Ye Qing held back her smile, and said in an expectant tone: "We'll wait and see."

Jiang Zhilan, who was dragged to the garden by Jian Xinhe, finally realized how hateful she was before, but she kept yelling to stop.

"Xinhe, what are you doing? What garden are you visiting in broad daylight, and there is no view."

Besides, how can this tired garden be more interesting than the loving scene in the ward?

Seeing that she wanted to rush back, Jian Xinhe couldn't help but frowned, and stopped him in a deep voice: "Don't despise me, don't you understand? People have something to say, is it right for you to stand there?"

Jiang Zhilan was startled, staring at Jian Xin and sizing her up, not only looking at her face to face, but also turning around and walking around her automatically.

Jian Xin was puzzled: "What are you looking at around me?"

Jiang Zhilan stroked her chin thoughtfully, and said deeply, "I'm thinking, are you a clone?"
