As she spoke, Lin Qingrou sat down on a corner of the sofa, looking drowsy. From time to time, she raised her head to look at the letters on the sofa. She felt that it was a bit strange. It was a white envelope with no stamps, no postmark or postcode, just the message of the recipient.

Lin Qingrou picked it up and examined it before squeezing the thickness of the paper. Just then, Ye Qingming walked out of the study room and asked, "What are you looking at? Did anyone write to you? "

Lin Qingrou subconsciously blended in the other advertisements and said casually, "It's nothing, I think it's just an advertisement again."

Ye Qingming nodded and passed by with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Lin Qingrou couldn't help but sigh, "It smells so good."

"Fragrant? "Then you still have to endure it." As he spoke, Ye Qingming gloated as he waved his coffee cup by her nose before taking it away.

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but ask him, "Why are you drinking coffee? Is it because you're staying up late?"

"Hmm, there's a patient with more serious conditions who has been hospitalized recently, so I need to check out some information in advance. I might have to travel for a few days to attend an orthopedic seminar."

Lin Qingrou followed Ye Qingming to the study room, sighing, "It's so serious, what's wrong with him?"

Ye Qingming helped her sit down at the side, then took out the video from the computer and showed it to her.

He explained to her in the simplest and most straightforward way: "This time the patient is a ten-year-old boy with a tumor in his forearm. Originally, we wanted to use the original surgical procedure to replace the lesion manually. However, Director Zhao still decided to use the new plan after that. "

"What new plan?"

"It was the corresponding bone taken from his calf and then filled up to the place where the tumor was removed. As a result, his body has a higher acceptance rate and will have very little impact in the future. "

"Then we have to do two operations?" Lin Qingrou shuddered.

Ye Qingming nodded his head, "Although the recovery time was a bit slow and a bit difficult, but this will also cause him less harm and lower the cost."

Lin Qingrou looked at him, holding a pen and talking nonstop. She could not help but say, "Actually, you are a very good doctor."

Ye Qingming was not surprised. He said, "After all, when I was learning medicine, I made a vow. I can't go against my original intentions."

"Original intent?" Lin Qingrou was curious.

"What was your original intention in learning medicine?"

Ye Qingming put down his pen and began to seriously think about it.

"Perhaps I've been used to it since I was young. I've watched my elder brother and elder sister travel back and forth between the medical academy every day and busy in the hospital. It seems that I'm destined to study medicine and become a doctor in the future."

"Is it because of a sense of mission, or is it because of adoration? You want to surpass them? "

"Of course there is. I remember when my brother was forty years old, he had a very complicated operation on stomach cancer. Later on, the patient recovered very well. He would even call his big brother to greet him on New Year's Day. Until now, it had always been that way. Therefore, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of being a doctor is not something that can be compared with other occupations. "

"Then, from a doctor's point of view, do you think your elder brother is a good doctor?"

Ye Qingming was stunned for a moment. He smiled at Lin Manshou and asked, "What, are you suffering from an occupational disease? You want to interview me just because you saw me?"

Lin Manrou finally snapped out of her daze after hearing his words, "I chatted with you out of good intentions, but you called it an occupational disease?"

Ye Qingming comforted her, "I was wrong, what else do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything. "

"Really?" Lin Qingrou looked at him with interest.

Ye Qingming made a face of affirmation.

Lin Qingrou stood up, "Forget it, today is not the best time to chat. I won't disturb you any longer. You should get busy first and rest early if you need anything. "

When Ye Qingming saw this, he could only squeeze her hand and reluctantly watched her leave.

Lin Qingrou walked out of the study, calmly carrying the stack of papers back to her bedroom. She quietly closed the door and took out the white envelope. She solemnly and suspiciously looked at the seal, as if it was a door to an unknown world that faintly emitted a sense of unease.

After a few moments of hesitation, she finally opened the envelope. Just as she had guessed, there was only a thin sheet of paper inside.

Slowly opening it, the words were as follows:

I don't know if you've heard my name, but it doesn't matter. I used to be a good friend of your mother, so I came to see you a few times when you were young. However, the times had changed, and destiny made a fool of people. Who would have thought that in the past twenty years, things had changed and things were no longer the same. I came back to B City this time because I wanted to meet with you and ask about your past. However, I never expected to hear the news of your marriage, so I didn't disturb you.

However, it was because I knew about your marriage that I wanted to tell you so much. And it's about twenty years ago, even before you were born. I wonder if you'd be interested and interested in listening to me.

The day after tomorrow at three in the afternoon, if you please, I'll be waiting for you at Starbucks in Green Forest Road downtown.

Lin Qingrou read the last entry. It was signed "Chen Yang", and the date was yesterday.

"She took a deep breath and her heart pounded." She had never heard of the name Chen Yang before, nor did she have the slightest impression of him. [Am I really going to meet him for these few words?]

What he mentioned in between the lines was that he was Lin's mother's friend, but he did not mention anything to her father. Furthermore, he said, "Twenty years have passed, yet people have changed. This time, he has returned to B City." This meant that he had not returned to this place for many years, and he had not even contacted Lin Manshou's mother.

If that was really the case, then where did a good friend come from!? Furthermore, how did he know his address and his current situation!?

However, when Lin Qingrou looked at the scribbles on the letter again and again, she still felt conflicted. On the one hand, she was afraid that the man had been ordered to deceive her; on the other hand, if everything he said was true, she really wanted to know what it was he had said about twenty years ago.

Lin Qingrou could only feel doubt, but she could not help but feel a chill run down her spine. She could only lean to the side while maintaining her calm. She tightly gripped the letter as her heart became flustered.

The next day, after Ye Qingming went to work, Lin Qingrou got up quietly. She was still hesitating about whether she should see Chen Yang, so she didn't sleep well that night.

After hesitating for a while, she first thought of Cheng Yun and then thought of her aunt. Perhaps, she would know Chen Yang!

Lin Yi never brought a cell phone with him in class, so she didn't see any missed calls from him until ten o'clock.

"Can I help you, Manchu?" As she spoke, she took a sip of water. The two consecutive hours of lessons had already made her mouth go dry.

Lin Qingrou didn't know how to start, but in the end she asked directly, "Aunt, do you know Chen Yang? He's about your age. He might know my mother. "

At first, Lin Yi did not hear it clearly. However, after Lin Qingrou asked again, she finally reacted. In her panic, she almost dropped the glass of water in her hands.

She pretended to be calm as she said, "Chen Yang, I, I've never heard of this before. Are you mistaken, or are you a liar? "

Lin Qingrou nodded, feeling a little discouraged. She guessed that this person was just like her aunt had said, a liar.

After calming his good mood, Lin Yi probed, "Why did you suddenly ask me this?"

"Nothing, just that someone placed a letter in my home's mailbox, as if to tell me something, and it was signed 'Chen Yang'."

"It's probably a cheater's new trick, designed to arouse your curiosity. A colleague of mine had the same situation a few days ago, but luckily he didn't lose anything in the end. "

Lin Qingrou was suddenly enlightened, she said, "Alright, I understand. Just ignore him."

Lin Yi urged again, "It's good that you know this. Just don't read what's written on the letter and you won't be able to control your curiosity. Curiosity kills the cat!"

"I understand, rest assured. How have you been? How is uncle's health? "

"We're all good, as long as you take care of yourself. Cheng Yun went to B City recently. Have you seen him? "

Lin Qingrou shook her head, "No, he didn't contact me. Is it because of work again?"

Lin Yi said in a low voice, "Yes, he's been busy recently, so he didn't say anything when I asked him. It's like he has a girlfriend."

"Girlfriend!?" Lin Qingrou asked in surprise.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "Now that you guys have really grown up, you won't tell us anything, making us two old people to act like spies."

Lin Qingrou did not know whether to laugh or cry as she consoled him, "Don't be too sad, my brother is not that kind of person. He probably wants to wait for the results to come, so that you guys can have a big surprise."

"Then forget it. We can't afford to be surprised and scared."

With that, Lin Yi turned to Lin Qingrou and said, "Alright, I still have some classes to attend. When you have time in the future, remember to often go home and take a look."

"Mm, don't worry. If I have time, I will definitely go back."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingrou sat on the sofa with her hands on her stomach. Suddenly, she thought: Did she also inherit her mother's cold and selfish genes that she was so anxious to get rid of?

Back then, she did not hesitate to abandon a baby. Did she ever have the heart and unwillingness to do so!? After all these years, even if she had only hesitated for a split-second and was still reluctant to leave, she shouldn't have disappeared in such a straightforward manner. In this world, there was nothing more regretful than this. When asked, Lin Qingrou would often wonder if she was still alive. Even if he died, he wouldn't even have a place to go to to mourn.

Could it be that the her back then had the same reason as him, the reason why he was forced to do so? This only served to increase Lin Qingrou's curiosity about the letter.

However, no matter how curious Lin Qingrou was, she could not go to him alone. After some thought, she gave Fang Tong a final call.

Unexpectedly, Fang Tong quickly picked up the phone.

He still liked to poke fun at other people's words. "What kind of wind brought you here, to actually call me on your own accord."

Lin Qingrou had to ask for help, but her attitude had to be a little better, "How could that be? After all, it's been so long since we've seen each other, we have to call to ask questions."

"Just say it. What is it? Why are you acting so polite to me?"

Lin Qingrou was actually a little nervous, "I wish to request you to accompany me to meet someone."

"Who?" Could it be Ye Qingcheng? " Fang Tong was rather sensitive.

"No, how could it be him? It's just that he's a friend that he hasn't met before. "

"Friend? It's a friend that wants me to go with you. "

"No, I'll tell you the truth. It was a letter I received yesterday that told me to go and see him today. That's why I had no choice but to go."

Fang Tong stopped what he was doing and spoke from the bottom of his heart. "Who are you, and what do you want?" "Why do you keep going on ?

Lin Qingrou pondered for a moment, then said to him, "Yes, I do have some secrets. However, ever since you heard my conversation with Ye Qingcheng last time, didn't you already have a rough idea of who I am? "

Fang Tong had to admit that Lin Qingrou was right. He was just curious. Ever since the incident last time, he had gotten a general idea of Lin Qingrou's motives. But even so, Fang Tong still couldn't understand why she did every step of the way.

In the end, under the urge of worry and curiosity, Fang Tong agreed.

As per their agreement, the two of them appeared at Starbucks at three o'clock sharp.

The first thing Fang Tong said when he saw Lin Qingrou was, "It's only been a few days, how did you get fat?"

Lin Qingrou was so angry that she almost fainted. She wouldn't tell him that it was due to the pregnancy, so she could only roll her eyes at him and sit by herself in a corner on the second floor. At this time of year, the people who came to Starbucks were all young people who didn't work, or young people who just strolled around with small money. However, only the middle-aged man whom Lin Qingrou had not been looking for remained.

Fang Tong couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure he'll come?"

Lin Qingrou shook her head, "But I can't let go of this opportunity."

There was no choice but to accompany her. After that, they sat down for a long time. They even spent a lot of money on coffee. If it wasn't for Ye Qingming's call, Lin Qingrou would never have realized that time had passed so quickly.

"My friend and I are in the city center, so we're going back."

"Do you want me to come and pick you up?"

"No need, I'll be home soon."

With that, Lin Qingrou hung up the phone, and Fang Tong said in disappointment, "Forget it, let's end it here for today."

Fang Tong suddenly asked, "Does he know what you look like?"

"I don't think he knows. It's been so many years," she said. "If what he said was true, then he definitely doesn't know what I look like."

Fang Tong nodded. "That's good. Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't appear because he saw me accompanying you."

"I don't think so. After all, he and I have no conflict of interest, and he won't just hide from me because of you."

Fang Tong heaved a sigh of relief. "Then he must be a swindler, just as you said."

"Yes."

Lin Qingrou could only think of this. If not, she didn't know how else to explain herself.

When she returned home, she saw Ye Qingming changing the carpet in front of her bedroom door as she entered. She asked curiously, "Why change the carpet? "The original one wasn't very good."

Ye Qingming was done with his work. All he needed was a ruler to confirm his position.

"The original carpet isn't slippery, but it would be bad if it slipped when you step on it."

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but laugh. "How could that be? It's not like I can't walk."

Ye Qingming smiled as if he was treating her as his own patient, "In the latter stages of the training, your body will get heavier and heavier, and it will be very inconvenient to walk, so you have to think about all these."

Lin Qingrou smiled, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't smile. In her mind, there were suddenly two thoughts that were constantly entangled and constantly quarreling with each other.

"Why not have the baby? "Just treat it as an explanation to Ye Qingming."

"No, this child cannot be born! Because its birth means no complete family, no happy childhood. In fact, if everything went the way it should have, it would have to face its parents. "

"If I don't give birth to a child, could it be that you're going to watch Ye Qingming act like a fool worrying for you and beg for your life?"

"It is his business and he is willing to do anything he pleases. If this child was born, he would become a burden sooner or later, and the Ye Family would also control him. One day, it will even be a threat to your life. "

"Beat this child up! Right now, the relationship between you and Ye Qingming is completely over!" What are you thinking about, and what are you trying to take revenge for! "

"No, there must be other ways out, there must be other ways. If you don't want this child, you don't have to do it yourself. "

Ye Qingming saw that she didn't say anything and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"

Lin Qingrou snapped out of her daze and blurted out, "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about what will happen in the future."

"What happened in the future?" "I've thought of something."

"It's nothing. It's just some trivial things in life that aren't worth mentioning."

Ye Qingming suddenly asked her, "Did you go for coffee this afternoon?"

"What?" Lin Qingrou was shocked, she did not know how he found out where she was.

Ye Qingming smiled, "I knew it the moment you came back from the outside. It smells like coffee."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingrou heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would have thought he saw something.

She explained, "Well, I did go to a coffee shop. But I didn't drink it. It was all drunk by another friend. "

Ye Qingming stood up with a smile and caressed her hair, then said, "It doesn't matter, I was just joking with you yesterday. Actually, as long as you don't drink too much coffee, it doesn't matter. "

Lin Qingrou's expression was a little unnatural. "It's fine. Since you already know, you still have to pay attention."

Ye Qingming smiled inwardly and didn't say anything else.
