Lin Qingrou was trembling from head to toe. She had never thought that Ye Qingming would use such a thought to visit her. Seeing her angry expression, Ye Qingming could not help but laugh. He carefully said to her, "Don't worry, I was just saying it." I, I was muddled for a moment. "
Lin Qingrou looked at her, then she walked coldly to the door and said, "You can leave first." I'm going to change. "
Ye Qingming's hand hovered in midair. He wanted to comfort her, but when he saw her disappointed look, he didn't know what to say.
Thus, he had no choice but to leave Lin Qingrou's room.
After Lin Qingrou watched Ye Qingming leave, she slammed the door shut. When she leaned against the door, she was finally relieved. She couldn't resist using her fingers to feel her exposed skin. It still had the smell of Ye Qingming on it, but it was already ice-cold.
After changing her clothes, Lin Qingrou sat in front of the dressing table. She slowly removed her headdress, letting her hair fall free, and felt a sudden sense of relief. She looked at herself in the mirror, her disheveled hair, her tired eyes, the lipstick that had been rubbed against her mouth.
Lin Qingrou smiled bitterly. Could this be the scene of her wedding? Awkward, hard, and tired. She was afraid that in this world, she wouldn't be able to find another bride like her, who had gone through all sorts of twists and turns on her wedding day.
"Are you alright?" Ye Qingming suddenly knocked on the door.
Lin Qingrou grunted, then she wiped the lipstick off with a tissue and quietly stood behind the door. She didn't know if she should open the door for Ye Qingming now, because she didn't know how to face him after she opened the door.
A door separated two people. The two of them were at the two sides of a door. They were only a few centimeters away, yet they could not see each other's hearts.
Finally, Lin Qingrou slowly opened the door. When she raised her head, she saw Ye Qingming's face and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Ye Qingming asked curiously, "What are you laughing about?"
Lin Qingrou pointed at his face helplessly, "Your mouth, just now, touched my lipstick."
"What!?" Ye Qingming looked in front of Lin Qingrou's mirror in surprise, but he couldn't hold it in.
He smiled and said, "Can I wipe off the lipstick with a tissue?"
Lin Qingrou's eyes were red from laughing. She poured some of her makeup on top of a cotton pad and passed it to Ye Qingming, "Use this to wipe it."
Ye Qingming obediently received it. After wiping it twice, he sat down on a chair without saying anything. Then, he said to Lin Qingrou, "This is the first time I've ever known a person wearing lipstick would feel like this!"
Lin Qingrou patted his shoulder, then said to him, "So, next time don't think about taking advantage of others, do you know the consequences now?"
Ye Qingming smiled. Seeing that Lin Qingrou was sitting on the bed, his mood seemed to have eased up a lot. He tried asking, "Yesterday, they came to clean up the room and somehow moved my bed in the study. "So, see if I can …"
Lin Qingrou pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "Fine, this is your bedroom after all. "Then you go back to the bedroom and sleep, and then I go to the sofa to sleep?"
Ye Qingming did not know whether to laugh or cry, "A sofa? Why was the bed here so big? Besides, we're both married. Shouldn't we be living together? "
Lin Qingrou knew she was in the wrong, so she remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Lin Manrou thought for a while. What he said was reasonable, but what he had said seemed to be a bit unreasonable. There was still a hurdle in her heart, but she had chosen this path herself, and she had to accept it.
"Alright then. Let's sleep in the bedroom tonight." she said quietly.
Ye Qingming looked at her in surprise and then silently laughed. However, he had no way of knowing what Lin Qingrou was going through as these changes slowly took place in her heart.
The sun was setting, and the darkness of the night was slowly eroding the room.
Lin Qingrou turned on the bedside lamp. She was too tired, so she took a shower later and lay down on the bed.
Ye Qingming followed her into the bedroom, while he sat beside the bed, thinking about something.
From time to time, Lin Qingrou would read a book and then look at him. In the end, he could not help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
When Ye Qingming saw that she had finally taken the initiative to talk to him, he smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm just thinking if I lie together with you right now, would you be disgusted?"
Lin Qingrou smiled back, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned her attention back to the book in her hands. Seeing this, Ye Qingming laid down on the empty seat to the right of Lin Qingrou. He was finally able to relax for a while and finally let out a sigh of relief.
In an instant, the smell of Ye Qingming's body lingered around Lin Qingrou. She looked at the words on the book, and suddenly felt that small square character was jumping up and down restlessly. However, she did not look at him. Although her heart was beating really hard, she still maintained her usual tranquility on the surface.
Ye Qingming placed his hand by his side and said softly, "When I go to work in a few days, I might not be able to bring this ring with me."
Lin Qingrou looked at his hand and asked curiously, "Why?"
Ye Qingming said, "Working in a hospital, wearing a ring is a bit inconvenient after all, and it's also easy to get dirty. Get out of the clinic and don't wear it when you're in surgery. "
Lin Qingrou didn't say anything, but her expression was more or less depressed.
However, Ye Qingming quickly said, "Why don't you pick a chain for me? I'll wear it around my neck like a necklace."
Hearing this, Lin Qingrou came up with an idea. She got off the bed and ran to the jewelry box on the dressing table. She picked out a silver chain and passed it to Ye Qingming.
She said, "Just use this. Although I bought it when I was overseas, I've never used it."
Ye Qingming received the ring as he wished. Then, he put the ring on the chain and made a few gestures.
Lin Qingrou looked at it carefully, saying, "It's pretty good, I didn't know you were so attentive."
Ye Qingming smiled, "Of course."
Lin Manshou saw that he was carrying it properly, so she said to him, "Can I help you button the back button?"
As she said that, she sat down beside Ye Qingming and the two of them started to get very close to each other. Their skin was separated by a thin layer of pajamas, and the temperature of their bodies gradually became the same.
After Lin Manrou helped him button his shirt, she looked at the ring on his neck with satisfaction. She could not help but laugh, "When you go to work, someone will definitely ask you that."
Ye Qingming said, "Then let them ask."
She looked at her phone and suddenly received a verification message.
"Who is Xiao Chuxin?" she whispered.
Ye Qingming looked at her, "She's our department's Director Zhao's assistant, how do you know about her?"
Lin Qingrou waved her phone in front of his eyes, "This is the verification message she wrote."
Ye Qingming opened the book and casually said, "I'm not very familiar with those young colleagues of mine. If you find it inconvenient, you can just ignore all these."
Lin Manrou thought about it and said, "Forget it, you're colleagues after all, I can't just leave you be." After saying that, she lightly tapped the "Agree" button.
After solving the problem on her phone, Lin Qingrou could not help but yawn. She said, "Why do I feel like you're not tired at all?"
Ye Qingming smiled. He straightened his body, tidied up the quilt, turned off the bedside lamp and said, "All your energy has not been wasted. If you are tired, go to bed early."
He looked at Lin Qingrou who was curled up at the side like a silkworm, he could not help but laugh, "You don't have to be so nervous, I will not do anything to you."
Lin Qingrou was now extremely sleepy. Her eyes were hazy as she said, "I slept like this myself, it's not because of you …"
"Fine." Ye Qingming said.
Then he slowly closed the book in his hand, and then he picked up the book beside Lin Qingrou and put it aside. He looked at the book she had put aside — The Bride of Rip Van Wink.
Ye Qingming felt that this book was very familiar. It was only after a while did he remember that it wasn't the book he had read the day he proposed to her! As he fiddled with the book, he couldn't help but look at the sleeping Lin Qingrou. He suddenly felt that she might be simpler than she looked, more likely to be "conquered."
When she woke up early in the morning, Lin Qingrou rolled over. She accidentally touched the blanket beside her and suddenly remembered that she was staying with Ye Qingming last night! She instantly woke up and sat up. But when she looked around, she saw that he was no longer on the bed. His quilt and pillow were neatly spread out to one side, leaving a bigger space for her.
Lin Qingrou rubbed her forehead. She suddenly got up, but her thoughts were still unclear. She put on her robe, forgot her slippers, and walked barefoot out of the bedroom.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Ye Qingming couldn't help but ask when he saw her walk out of the bedroom.
Lin Manmei tightened her pajamas. She raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall, "Oh, it's a cloudy day today. It's only around 6 o'clock, why are you up so early?"
Ye Qingming shook the coffee in his hand, "A friend wanted me to show you the movie, so I woke up first. Did I wake you up?"
Lin Qingrou crossed her arms over her chest. She shook her head and walked closer to look at the ring on Ye Qingming's neck. "What if the ring fell off during your surgery?"
Ye Qingming smiled and said, "Then let's just say it died because of its official duties."
Lin Manshui giggled. She seemed to be in a good mood this morning, even the cloudy weather outside the window did not affect her mood in the slightest.
She looked at Ye Qingming as he worked and said, "It seems like you won't have time to make breakfast this morning. Why don't I try it out?"
Ye Qingming nodded and said, "There's milk in the fridge. You can heat it up in the microwave." Bread is ready. Bake it with a toaster. Jams have two flavors, and if you don't like them, there's butter and condensed milk. "
Lin Qingrou was unwilling, she said, "You don't believe what I cook? Let me always make those simple things that have no value at all. "
Ye Qingming put down the book and calmly coaxed her, "I just don't want you to get smeared with oil. What if it's too hot?"
Lin Qingrou didn't believe it, it wasn't like she hadn't cooked before. Although she couldn't cook a delicious meal like Liu Yuxi, she still had a few proficient people.
She ignored Ye Qingming and ran into the kitchen, where she found an egg and a tomato and a bag of noodles.
Needless to say, it was definitely another all-purpose staple food — tomato and egg noodles.
She might not be sure of other dishes, but she was confident when it came to tomato and egg noodles.
After Ye Qingming finished his call with his friend, he followed the scent to the kitchen and couldn't help but sigh, "The smell is pretty good, I didn't expect it."
Lin Qingrou turned off the fire, she said, "Bring the noodles out and we can eat them."
Ye Qingming was about to go get the bowl when he suddenly saw that she was still standing barefoot in the kitchen. He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and put on your shoes. What do we do if you catch cold?"
Lin Qingrou reacted, she smiled and said, "It's not cold right now, plus there's still heat."
Ye Qingming took the spoon in her hand and said, "Go, go, go. How can a girl stand on the ground barefooted? If you catch a cold, it's a lifetime's work. "
Lin Qingrou said that she couldn't beat him, so she could only return to her bedroom and put on her slippers. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Ye Qingming say, "Manchu, when you come out, please take out my outer robes."
Lin Qingrou looked and saw his beige sweater on the dressing table, so she took it out for him.
The two of them sat in the dining room. Ye Qingming said in anticipation, "Not bad, you look delicious. You look beautiful!"
Lin Qingrou smiled. She looked at Ye Qingming and took a bite.
"Hm!" The taste is also not bad, much better than what I imagined! "
Hearing him speak, Lin Qingrou could not help but say, "It's so exaggerated. I made the noodles myself. I know if they're as tasty as you say."
Ye Qingming smiled. He was obviously praising her. After all, this was the first time she was cooking for him, so he should encourage her emotionally.
He took a sip of water and then asked Lin Qingrou, "Do you like children?"
Lin Qingrou nodded her head, "If they are obedient, I would still like it."
Ye Qingming nodded and asked carefully, "Then you …" Did you ever think about having a child of your own? "
Lin Qingrou froze for a moment before she said, "I've never thought about my own child. Why are you asking this? "
However, once she said that, she felt even more embarrassed.
Ye Qingming said, "I'm obviously asking for your opinion regarding when we're going to have a child."
Lin Qingrou had never thought of this question before. How could she possibly give birth to a child for Ye Qing?! If she really raised a child with him, wouldn't that mean that the blood of the Ye Family would be left on the child's body! It was impossible, she couldn't let that happen.
"I don't want to." Lin Qingrou put down her chopsticks and said resolutely.
Ye Qingming put down his chopsticks and asked, "Why?"
Lin Qingrou did not want to discuss this issue with him, so she replied half-heartedly, "It's nothing. I just don't want children yet, and it's that simple."
"Don't want children? "Then when are you prepared to …"
Lin Qingrou interrupted him in a hurry, "I don't know! Maybe later, maybe after a while. Anyway, I don't want to think about children right now! "
Ye Qingming didn't understand why she suddenly became so angry, but he forced himself to compromise and said, "Alright, alright, we won't discuss this anymore."
Lin Qingrou looked at him before taking a deep breath and leaving the dining room. She walked quickly to the French window in the living room, hugging her shoulders as she looked outside.
Ye Qingming followed her out. He sighed and slowly walked behind her and hugged her waist. Only then did he discover that her hands were extremely cold.
Lin Qingrou did not seem to react, but after a while, she slowly said, "About the child, please do not force me. This is my only request to you. "
At this moment, the entire room was extremely warm. Ye Qingming couldn't help but bury his face in her hair. He could only feel that her fragrance was being driven even more strongly by the warm air. He could not bear to comfort her: "Well, what you say is what it is. We'll never talk about it again. "
Lin Qingrou stuck the broken hair behind her ears. Staring at the window in the distance, she said to Ye Qingming, "I want to know why you are always so tolerant towards me. That would cause me to misunderstand."
Ye Qingming smiled and said matter-of-factly, "I don't know why, but we are already married. You are my wife, so of course I should let you have your way.
Lin Qingrou smiled sadly. She suddenly said, "Actually, you don't have to be so kind to me. I'm afraid that when you understand me, you will know that everything you've done was not worth it. "
Ye Qingming's body suddenly stiffened. However, he immediately thought that she was feeling wronged, so he smiled and said, "Whether it's worth it or not is my problem. As long as you accept everything I give you, I will be satisfied."
Lin Qingrou turned around in his arms, her cheeks flushed red as she stared at him, as if she wanted to memorize his expression in her mind.
Ye Qingming couldn't help but slowly press his face and body towards her. This time, she unexpectedly did not avoid him, and instead happily accepted his flirtatious, and even further intimacy.
From the looks of it, it seemed like everything was natural and natural. However, in reality, only they themselves knew how difficult it would be in their respective lives to take this step for the sake of each other.
