Lin Qingrou woke up in the middle of the night, feeling dizzy and dry in her sleep. She came out of her bedroom in a daze and went into the living room to drink some water. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was four in the morning. Although she was not superstitious, she had always disliked the number "4". Therefore, at this moment, she immediately lost all her sleepiness.

Lin Qingrou lay on the sofa, bored out of her mind. She looked at her phone and was about to fall asleep when she saw that the light in Ye Qingming's study room was on.

Did he wake up as well? Or could it be that he hadn't slept the entire night?

Curious, she quietly got up, tiptoed to the door of his room without her slippers on, and pressed her ear to the door. However, it was very quiet inside, as if only the sound of the wind could be heard outside the window.

Maybe he forgot to turn off the light when he was sleeping, she thought.

Lin Manshui pursed her lips, turned around, and walked back into the bedroom to continue lying down. As a result, she slept until around 10 o'clock the next morning.

When she woke up early, she was completely attracted by the fragrance of Ye Qingming's breakfast. After washing up, she walked step by step to the kitchen door in her slippers. Then, she suddenly stared fixedly at his back.

At this time of the day, Ye Qingming was often in the operating room or the clinic. He had rarely taken a leave of absence from work, and rarely took the initiative to take an annual leave. Thus, day after day, he seemed to get used to working so hard and busy. So, for a day like this, when he woke up early and spent around the kitchen and the dining table, it seemed like he really couldn't get used to it for a while.

At this moment, the smoke absorber buzzed on the wall, almost as if it was sucking away Lin Qingrou's thoughts as well. She crossed her arms and looked behind Ye Qingming. He was used to cooking dinner, breakfast seemed like a strange proposition to him. However, although he wasn't proficient in it, he still did what he should do in an orderly manner.

"You're up?" When Ye Qingming turned around to take the menu, he suddenly saw Lin Qingrou standing by the door.

Lin Qingrou pulled herself together and smiled. "It's easiest to oversleep when you go back to sleep."

"Not bad, I thought you were going to eat lunch directly."

"How could that be? I'm not in the habit of sleeping late."

"I fell asleep when I saw you yesterday, so I carried you back to the bedroom."

"Oh …" When did you wake up? Is it early? "

"No, I just woke up about an hour ago. He did not turn off the light when he went to sleep last night, so he woke up early. However, like you, I slept for a while. "

Lin Qingrou walked up to him and picked up an apple. She looked at his expression, whether intentionally or not. It was very focused and natural. There really were no other questions.

However, something didn't feel right to Lin Qingrou.

She pretended to yawn and said to him, "I've been feeling sleepy lately, as if I'm not sleeping enough. "And you, did you fall asleep on the table just like I did?"

Ye Qingming closed the menu in front of him and smiled, "No, I'm used to sleeping on the bed." Therefore, no matter how tired I am, I won't fall asleep on the table. "

"That's true... "Eh, didn't you change your clothes last night?"

The reason why Lin Qingrou asked this was because she clearly remembered that Ye Qingming had a fixed habit of changing into a new set of clothes every morning after he woke up.

He looked at his own clothes and casually said, "I probably forgot to change it this morning. I watched too late yesterday's video so I can't remember a lot of things."

Lin Qingrou nodded silently. She looked at the creases on the back of Ye Qingming's clothes. Although she already had a general idea in her heart, she felt even more upset.

She sat aside and thought about how the two of them had remained in the same spot and in the same direction the night before. They had chatted and laughed as they ate their dinner, as if they were the most ordinary couple in the world. However, after just a few hours, the two of them had already become a probe, a pretense of being on guard.

Lin Manrou wondered, could it be that she was being overly suspicious? Or was she influenced by Liu Yuxi's words? However, after hearing her description, Liu Yuxi shook his head and said, "I won't take the blame for you. If you don't want to believe him, blame me?"

Lin Qingrou said in an annoyed tone, "But I really don't think he slept at all last night. If he slept, as was his custom, he would change his clothes and go to bed, so that his clothes would not wrinkle. But when I woke up this morning and saw him, not only did he not change his clothes, he even had horizontal wrinkles on the back of his clothes. You know, usually only when you've been sitting in a chair for a long time does that kind of wrinkle appear on your clothes. So for what reason, he actually told me that he slept pretty well last night!? "

Liu Yuxi was confused by her actions, and asked unhappily, "What you're saying is, Ye Qingming clearly didn't sleep last night, but this morning he told you that he slept very well, so he lied to you!" But why do you sound so excited and confused whenever you talk about Ye Qingming? Could it be that the depth of her love, and the depth of her hatred, is too deep for her? "

Lin Manshou hit her leg with her hand, "I'm serious with you!"

Liu Yuxi craned his neck, "I'm serious with you too!"

In the end, they sat on the carpet and looked at each other, speechless.

Lin Qingrou drank a mouthful of water. She could not help but think, was she overthinking it?

Liu Yuxi looked at her and smiled helplessly. Then, he got up to check the new mail on his computer. She skillfully entered the password and quickly browsed through a few new mails.

"It's all advertising. How troublesome." Liu Yuxi complained as he deleted the spam he had just received.

"Eh? What is this... Mail for Assistant Wu. " Liu Yuxi doubtfully opened the group mail for Assistant Wu. She glanced at it and realized that it was the information of the new manager of the company. However, the more she read, the more she felt that something was amiss. Hence, she hurriedly called for Lin Manrou.

Liu Yuxi pointed at the screen, his fingertips still trembling, "You …" Look, is that Zhang Kai Feng? "

Lin Qingrou didn't believe him at all. While laughing at Liu Yuxi's unsightly expression, she enlarged the photo in the email. "But then her expression changed, and a strong sense of fear filled her entire body." How could this be … He, he … Didn't you go abroad? " Lin Qingrou asked.

Liu Yuxi slumped into a chair in low spirits. She said in despair, "It looks like I really have to resign this time."

Lin Qingrou could only feel that the situation had not yet calmed down. She asked Liu Yuxi, "Have you heard news of his return?"

Liu Yuxi was like a cat whose hair had been blown off. She said angrily, "Of course I don't know! If I knew, I wouldn't be as helpless as I am now! "

The two of them looked at each other helplessly. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

To be honest, Zhang Kaifeng and Lin Kailou did not have a bad relationship when they were in school. It could even be said that they had a pretty good relationship. This was because when they had parted, it was the most normal and common way for them to break up. They did not go through a series of twists and turns to chase each other, nor did they have any hysterics to pester each other. They all seemed to understand that a college couple was nothing more than finding a partner to teach, study, and eat with for the next four long years. Was it really time to be together forever?

"Don't be silly, we're not three years old." These were the last words that Lin Canrou said to Zhang Kaifeng.

At that time, Zhang Kaifeng only nodded mechanically with an expressionless face.

Liu Yuxi, as the peeper at the scene of the breakup, summed up, "He was just like that mechanical model in the PPT."

However, what no one expected was that half a month after Lin Man and Zhang Kaifeng parted ways, the school began to make absurd claims — Lin Man and Liu Yuxi were a pair of homosexuals, which was why Lin Kaifeng was able to shake off Zhang Kaifeng, and Liu Yuxi had never been in a relationship in university!

With this said, the school immediately went into an uproar.

Lin Qingrou's good friends and Liu Yuxi's admirers all shot strange looks at them. In the end, even the counselors wanted to personally talk to them to show their innocence.

However, it was fortunate that they were close to graduation by then and everyone was toiling at the job fair and the internship office, so their rumors were soon covered up by wave after wave of updated recruitment information.

After that incident, Zhang Kaifeng seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.

After so many years, Liu Yuxi would often ask Lin Manshou, "Who do you think was the first to spread the rumours about that 'gay' incident?"

Lin Qingrou replied without thinking, "Zhang Kaifeng."

Liu Yuxi asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"

Lin Qingrou was still unwilling to believe it, "Is it really him?"

Liu Yuxi nodded and said scornfully, "Later on, after I graduated, I went to look for someone to ask. Guess who I asked about in the end? Zhang Kaifeng's roommate! Even if he started to spread the rumor, Zhang Kai Feng must have been the one behind it. "

Lin Qingrou found it laughable. "Actually, I wasn't very sure at first, but after some careful thinking, if he really had nothing to do with this, then when this rumor came out, his first reaction would be anger and curiosity. Because he'll think I betrayed him when I was in love with him.

He's on good terms with you. From then on, he would feel embarrassed because his love rival was a woman! However, at the time when the rumors were spreading, he was so calm and rational, just like a spectator. So I don't believe that if he was truly innocent, he would be so calm. "

This was a clear example of what had happened, so this time, Zhang Kaifeng's sudden appearance had caused Lin Man and Liu Yuxi to become worried and anxious.

Because they didn't know what he would do next.

When she returned home that night, she saw Ye Qingming watching a movie.

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but to say, "How rare, I actually saw you doing all these random activities."

Ye Qingming smiled and asked, "Do I have to be trapped in a medical prison every day?"

Lin Qingrou looked at her cell phone and smiled at him. Then, she picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, may I know who you are?"

The person on the other side said in surprise, "Is that Lin Qingrou?!"

Lin Qingrou was stunned. She had to ask vigilantly, "May I ask who you are?"

"Cough, you can't recognize my voice? "I am Jiang Cheng!"

Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming and asked, "Jiang Cheng? Is it my university classmate, Jiang Cheng? "

"Yo, didn't you already recognize him?" I am who I am. "

Lin Qingrou felt a headache coming on. Unsurprised, she answered with an 'oh'. Then, with a slightly happy tone, she asked, "So it's you, why did you suddenly call me?"

Lin Qingrou's intuition told her that Jiang Cheng suddenly calling at this time must be related to Zhang Kaifeng returning home.

Jiang Cheng said excitedly, "We have a classmate gathering Tuesday in S City." I heard that you are also in S City, so you must come! "

Lin Qingrou fiddled with the key knots on the tea table in annoyance. She frowned, "Mm, if I have time, I'll definitely go."

Seeing the situation, Jiang Cheng thought that she had agreed to it and told her everything about the time and place. When they arrived, he even instructed her, "Remember to bring your family members with you when you come!"

Lin Qingrou laughed coldly, not knowing what he was looking forward to. Could it be that he still wanted to see him and Yu Liuxi as family members?

After talking to Jiang Cheng, Lin Qingrou threw her phone onto the sofa in disgust. The phone bounced on the sofa in dissatisfaction, then landed in the middle of the sofa with a thud.

Ye Qingming noticed the sudden change in her mood and asked curiously, "Are you a university classmate?"

Lin Manju leaned her head against the sofa. She narrowed her eyes and nodded, then said, "I don't want to go to such a boring class reunion. "But it has to be in S city, the enemies have a narrow path."

Ye Qingming seemed to be able to hear the strangeness in her tone and could not help but say, "Could it be someone that I don't want to see?"

Lin Qingrou opened her eyes and looked at him, smiling, "Yes, I have an ex-boyfriend. It's because he's going that I don't want to go. "

When Ye Qingming heard this, he immediately pressed the pause button on the computer. The scene froze in an instant. It seemed like two people were arguing.

"Former boyfriend? I've never heard of you having a boyfriend when you were in college. "

"What's so strange about that?" We've been through the same thing, and we're all the same. "

"Alright, alright, alright. Since that's the case, I won't ask anymore. We'll do the same to each other as well."

Lin Qingrou looked at him in dissatisfaction. Looking past his face, she suddenly saw the movie that was being played on the computer screen.

"'Gate of Life'?" she asked.

Ye Qingming turned around and looked at her, "Old movies, the scenes aren't clear."

Lin Manmei stretched her body and said, "The Life and Death Sect …" "Interesting."

Compared to the calmness before Lin Qingrou's explosion, Liu Yuxi was like an explosive that could explode at any time. This was because from Monday onwards, she would be facing Zhang Kaifeng at all times, facing that sinister and hypocritical face of his. This made Liu Yuxi feel nauseous. She never thought that she would be able to see him again in her lifetime. Therefore, when Jiang Cheng told Liu Yuxi about the reunion news, Liu Yuxi's first reaction was actually to Jiang Cheng, "I'll gather your grandpa."

However, she had accumulated more than twenty years of cultivation, so she could only gently say to him, "I won't go. I have to work overtime, so I don't have time."

However, who knew that Jiang Cheng would actually say, "Hey, don't lie to me. Rumor has it that Zhang Kai Feng has come to work at your company. If that's really the case, then you must know if you have the time!"

Liu Yuxi immediately gnashed his teeth in hatred. Before she could reply, Jiang Cheng was already there, nagging her, "Since that's the case, let's make a deal! Remember to bring your family members when you come! "

Liu Yuxi unhappily agreed, then roughly hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yuxi finally accepted this fact. She looked through the contact list with all her might while thinking, "Where can I find a boyfriend in the next two days!?" But wouldn't it be too shabby if he went? After all, no matter what, Lin Qingrou still has Ye Qingming to accompany her.

As such, since Liu Yuxi had always been a very active person, she immediately picked up the phone and asked questions one by one.

Even if he didn't have the time to have a boyfriend, he still had time to spend money to borrow one!
