Ye Qingming had never thought that Lin Qingrou would leave so suddenly.

At first, when he was asked to go to the hospital on a temporary errand, he didn't care. Moreover, when he returned home at noon, although the house was empty, he did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

It was only in the afternoon that Ye Qingming saw the note that Lin Qingrou had left in his study. "Business trip. Return date not confirmed."

There was only one short sentence, eight words and two punctuation marks. Lin Qingrou had only left Ye Qingming with these. She hadn't even left behind a "Do not think", "cherish", or "Goodbye". Ye Qing was extremely famous. Could it be that she didn't know of his current condition and still wanted to get into an argument with him!? He quickly ran to the bedroom where she was staying and looked around. He then opened the door of the wardrobe and checked inside and out.

In the end, he finally sighed.

Lin Qingrou didn't seem to bring anything with her, because she didn't bring anything extra when she moved here. Until now, there was no trace of her existence in this room. It was as if she had never lived in the future, and every single thing she had ever lived with was just a dream.

It was as if he had been preparing to leave at any time since the day she arrived.

Ye Qingming was unwilling to admit that he was being led away by Lin Qingrou. But now he had to face the fact that if he wanted to achieve something, he had to get her back. Thinking about this, Ye Qingming suddenly remembered the person he saw that day — — Fang Tong.

Lin Qingrou didn't expect to receive a call from Cheng Yun before she boarded the plane. Only then did she remember that she had made an appointment with him to visit her aunt.

She had no choice but to plead, "I've been really busy lately, so I forgot about it. Will I accompany you when I come back? "

Cheng Yun helplessly said, "It's because you're getting married that I reminded you to go to the hospital to see her before the wedding banquet. Since you're so busy, you should wait until you're free to go! "

After hanging up, she immediately turned off her phone and looked at Fang Tong in embarrassment. Fang Tong laughed, but didn't think much of it.

Lin Qingrou asked him, "When do we arrive?"

Fang Tong looked at his watch, calculated, and said to her, "We'll probably be late when we get there." We have to fly to L City first, then take the local bus for three hours before we get to the place I'm talking about. It was a local town, and although the conditions were ordinary, it was beautiful. Anyone who has been there once will never forget it. "

"So you were particularly impressed?" Lin Qingrou asked.

Fang Tong nodded as if it was a matter of course, but it was met with a chuckle instead. "Is it because I know that pretty lady that I can't forget her?"

Fang Tong looked at her helplessly, but didn't try to refute her. Seeing that he was not talking, Lin Qingrou was able to guess a little of what had happened to him back there. He probably just got to know his new girlfriend, or went there with her, and made some kind of promise.

Fang Tong looked curiously at Lin Qingrou and asked, "Why don't you look like someone who's about to get married?"

Lin Manshou was curious, "What kind of person is going to get married soon? "You're grinning from ear to ear?"

"Not really." Fang Tong smiled.

He unconsciously explained, "At the very least, I should either look forward to it or feel annoyed." "But you seem to be very calm, neither expecting nor getting tired of it, as if it were someone else's business."

Lin Qingrou seemed to be used to Fang Tong's straightforward manner of speech, so she replied without hiding anything, "Not bad, not bad. It's possible that too many things have happened, so there's nothing to be happy about or sad about anymore. Perhaps marriage was the beginning of another difficult period. There was no point in being happy, and there was no point in being sad. "Why would there be a need?" She opened her hands and looked at Fang Tong.

Lin Qingrou joked, "But then again, you understand it so well. As if you were married. "

Fang Tong retorted, "Don't I look like I'm already married?"

Lin Qingrou looked him up and down before laughing at herself, "I don't think so. You don't have a ring with you either. However, that doesn't mean anything, because I didn't bring it either. "

Fang Tong laughed softly and said, "Same here."

After the plane took off, Lin Manrou thought that maybe he really had something on his mind that couldn't be said about marriage, which was why he was so evasive. But whatever it was, it was someone else's secret, and she had no right to ask.

Finally, after much effort, the two of them arrived at the town before dinner.

After Fang Tong and Lin Qingrou found the only inn in town, Lin Qingrou sighed, "I didn't expect we'd be so close to the desert now."

Fang Tong took the room keys and car keys from the owner and told her, "The wind and sand are strong here, and the temperature recently dropped, so don't get cold at night." If you want to go out, remember to wear more clothes, and the weather here is very dry, you girls skin is important, remember not to be allergic. "

Lin Qingrou turned to the keys and mumbled, "He knows quite a lot."

As they spoke, the two of them arrived at a room on the third floor. Lin Qingrou gestured and looked over. Seeing that Fang Tong was right next to her, she felt at ease.

Although this inn was not big, because the boss and the Lady Boss had taken care of it well, it was clean and tidy.

After Lin Qingrou was settled in, she walked towards the hall on the first floor. She found a corner seat on the sofa and leaned against it, watching a young couple chat with the Lady Boss. Not long later, the boss brought out a plate of fruit. There were a few unsightly looking apples and a bunch of grapes that were neither round nor crystal clear.

Just as Lin Qingrou was hesitating, Fang Tong suddenly appeared and passed an apple to her. "Taste it. This apple looks ordinary, but it'll definitely taste better than all the other varieties we have."

Lin Qingrou took it and took a bite. As expected, the taste and appearance of this apple were completely different. She took another bite. Under the thin and crisp skin of the apple, the meat was delicate, medium, sweet, and juicy. The fragrance of the roses in her mouth seemed to permeate the meat. In the past, she had only known a type of grape that emitted the fragrance of roses, but she hadn't known that apples had similar fruits.

Seeing her pleasantly surprised expression, Fang Tong said to the boss, "Old Li, this good fruit of yours has once again successfully captured a friend's' heart '!"

Old Li poked his head out of the kitchen door, nodded with an honest smile, "Sure, sure. I've got enough here!"

"The climate here is most suitable for growing apple grapes," Fang said to Lin. "Pear and these fruits even have a faint fragrance when you eat them. It can be said that they are a person that is nurtured by the elements, completely different from what we have. "

As the two of them were talking, the couple sitting in the back finally finished their conversation with the Lady Boss. They sat down together and also picked up a bunch of grapes to eat.

The four of them sat around each other, looking at each other in dismay. It was Fang Tong who spoke first. "You're here on a trip?"

The girl smiled first. She looked at her boyfriend and said sweetly, "En! It's a honeymoon. "

Fang Tong exchanged a glance with Lin Qingrou, then said, "Happy newlyweds."

The boy looked at them and asked, "What about you? You also came here for your honeymoon? "

Lin Qingrou replied first, "No, it's just a business trip, business."

The couple nodded in realization and didn't say anything else.

Lin Qingrou asked curiously, "Why did you choose to travel to this place?" What she really wanted to say was that it didn't seem to have anything to do with sweet romance.

The girl smiled and explained, "We were introduced by a donkey friend when we arrived together with a similar tour group. So naturally, we chose this spot for our honeymoon. "

Lin Qingrou could not help but sigh, "That would be returning to the land of love. It would also be a different kind of romance."

They smiled at each other and chatted for a long time. The four of them went from growing up to work and then from love to marriage, as if on a strange night in a strange place, people would become especially affectionate and confiding. Even Lin Qingrou, who rarely revealed anything, and Fang Tong, who often spoke coldly to strangers, shared many of their insights.

It was not until the morning when the four of them had left their rooms and gathered in the corridor that Fang Tong said, "We talked for too long last night, and our throats were all dry."

Lin Qingrou passed him a bottle of water, "Wash your throat, great orator. I heard it from you alone last night. "

Fang Tong felt a little embarrassed as he took the bottle of mineral water. After taking a big gulp, he finally felt as if his body and mind were at peace.

After they finished breakfast, Lin Man and Fang Tong got into the car that Fang Tong had borrowed from Old Li and drove towards the southern desert. Fang Tong was wearing sunglasses as he drove the half-old and half-new jeep, watching from the side of the sandy road.

The desert was different from the sea. Compared to the unfathomable depth and endless coldness of the sea, the desert was more wild and passionate.

The two of them walked and stopped. Although the bumps were difficult, they were too happy to be burdened. They could forget all their worries for the time being. In these few days in the desert, Lin Qingrou had truly experienced the feeling of "the lonely desert, the endless rivers falling and the full circle of the sun". Sometimes, in the evening, when she sat alone on the roof of the inn and watched the purplish-red sunset slowly dying the desert in an enamel red color, she would suddenly have a desire to live in seclusion.

Actually, Lin Qingrou knew very well that with her personality, she was not someone who was suitable for revenge. This was her only thought as she faced the endless desert. She wondered if, if she didn't know what had happened, she could now travel without worry, and admire the boundless desert and sea without fear.

But now, all of this was just a dream.

On the day before she left, she bought some gifts and daily necessities from the town's only shopping mall for Brother Li and his family. After all, over the past week, she had been beholden to their continuous care and care. Not only had she seen the most beautiful scenery, but she had also eaten the most sumptuous foods and felt a peculiar emotion.

When she returned to the inn from the town, the Lady Boss mysteriously said to her, "Xiao Lin, did you have a friend that said she wanted to find you?"

Lin Qingrou gaped. Only Fang Tong had come with her. Who else could it be?

The Lady Boss pointed to the roof in the backyard. "It's up there. It's where you always sit. After I told him, he went up. "

Lin Qingrou asked again, "Him? Is it a man or a woman? "

The Lady Boss replied, "Man, I was wondering why there was another one since you were a couple with Xiao Fang. "He's not good, he's not suitable for you."

Lin Qingrou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Fang Tong isn't my boyfriend, so stop thinking too much."

At first, she had her back facing behind her. After looking around, she finally saw Ye Qingming lying on the roof. She opened her mouth and suppressed her surprise and confusion. He then said to him in a light tone, "At this time of the day, your skin will be damaged from the sun."

Ye Qingming heard her voice. Although he did not immediately get up, he still turned his head and smiled at her, "This place is so good, then you can only blame yourself for liking it."

Lin Qingrou sat on the other side of the roof and said admiringly, "This is the first time I've seen a desert, and I've been completely shocked. I used to think that 'the desert dust flying birds, faint Qi gathering sheep' is just an exaggerated way of writing. But when I came here, I felt that no matter how well the poem was written, it was not even one in ten thousand. "

Ye Qingming finally sat up after hearing her words. His face was completely red from the sun. If it wasn't for the fact that his skin was still fair, he probably would have been treated like a local with his current appearance and red face.

He said regretfully, "This is also my first time seeing the desert. You should have called me when you came."

Lin Qingrou smiled, "I've come here to avoid you, and to bring along a big trouble like you, isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Ye Qingming was finally willing to calm down and talk to her. He frowned and sincerely said to her: "The day you left, I was really worried. I thought you really couldn't bear to leave." Fortunately, I called Liu Yuxi later. She probably knew about you. From then on, I can only trouble her everyday and update me on your current situation. Fortunately, you are only in this place and not far away. "Otherwise, I really wouldn't know where to find you."

Lin Qingrou dug out a stalk of grass from who knows where, and with the straw in her hand, she began to mutter, "That traitor, Yu Liuxi."

When Ye Qingming saw that she wasn't bothered by this matter, he let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but say, "I saw the picture you sent her. There was a picture of you on a horse. I've never seen that look before."

"You're not a horse or a desert, why would I show that kind of expression to you?"

Ye Qingming smiled and said, "Okay, okay. What I mean is that you've never shown that kind of relaxed and happy expression in the environment where we live together. So I'm sorry, and I'm looking forward to it. "

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but look at Ye Qingming. Under the sunlight, her brain seemed to heat up. She casually asked, "If we don't get married now, what would you do?"

Ye Qingming's body trembled. He smiled bitterly and said to her, "If you think this way, then of course I will respect your opinion."

Lin Qingrou smiled. She bent the grass into a circle and sat down next to Ye Qingming. She gently lifted his left hand, then slipped the circle of grass around his ring finger.

"This is the answer I gave you. Are you satisfied?" She faced the sun, squinting at him.

Under the sunlight, her whole face was covered in a golden glow. It was as if the skin and pores on her face could be clearly seen, making her look extremely exquisite.

He looked at the ring on his finger and thought of the injured finger. He suddenly took out the ring he had used when he proposed to her from his jacket pocket, and with the same gentle movements, he placed the diamond ring on the ring finger of Lin Qingrou's left hand.

He said to her carefully, "The ring finger probably still doesn't feel anything. Perhaps after a while, this finger will become even thinner than the finger of the other hand …"

"Don't scare me, then what? If it gets thinner, I won't be able to feel it falling at all. That's not bad. " Lin Qingrou interrupted him in a hurry.

Ye Qingming said without any worry, "So what? If you lose it, then buy a new one."

Lin Qingrou's eyes lit up, it seemed as if it was brighter than the diamond on her finger, "Then if I lose this, will you buy a bigger one?"

Ye Qingming said with a hint of curiosity, "Then I can't guarantee it."

Lin Qingrou laughed out loud. "Then I must keep this ring properly. Otherwise, it will not make up for the loss."

Ye Qingming looked at the joy and excitement on her face. At this moment, he finally believed that she was truly happy. She was not the same person who had forced a smile on her face before.

He looked at her and said slowly, "If I could, I'd rather never go back. "It's best to stay here together, lest we wade into muddy water when we get home."

Lin Qingrou was fiddling with the ring in her hand, she could not help but to ask, "What did you say?"

Ye Qingming regained his senses. After he coughed to cover up his embarrassment, he explained to her, "The scenery here is really rare. Seeing this, I'm not willing to go back."

Lin Qingrou replied with an "Oh", she suddenly asked, "Why is there a callus on the ring finger of your right hand? I remember that the ring finger didn't use that much strength when it was written, right? "

Ye Qingming raised his hand to look and smiled, "You need to use your thumb and ring finger to hold a scissors when performing surgery, so you will have calluses over time. This is a common problem with doctors. "

Lin Qingrou was suddenly enlightened. She used her right hand to form hand gestures in midair and realized that the way the doctor held the scissors was very different from an ordinary person's.
