It was night. Lin Qingrou was lying on his bed, listening to Ye Qingming's even breathing. He took a deep breath.

Whether she should go to the study now or not, she hesitated.

Speaking of which, she would stay here for two days and two nights. This was a rare opportunity.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but get up and turn around to look at the sleeping Ye Qingming. With a resolute heart, she put on her slippers and walked out of the bedroom.

The moment Lin Qingrou left the bedroom, she couldn't help but pull her pajamas closer. For some reason, the villa was heated up, but it was still cold in the middle of the night.

The study room. The study room. While thinking about the direction of the study, she crept to the study on the second floor.

This one was different from the one downstairs. There was no bookcase, no books, only a large desk.

Lin Qingrou didn't know why she was here. That was because she had come looking for him in the afternoon when Ye Qingming wasn't paying attention.

The curtains were drawn to one side, and a pale moonlight shone through the window. The wind blew outside, causing the branches of the trees to sway in the shadows. For no reason at all, Lin Qingrou was actually a little scared.

Although she was not afraid of knocking on the door if she did not do something shameful, she was already nervous. With the addition of the silent contrast, she appeared even more nervous and terrified.

As she thought about how she hadn't discovered anything in the afternoon, she decided not to look for this room anymore. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she bumped into someone.

Lin Qingrou's mind was about to collapse.

However, she didn't like to scream. She just subconsciously curled up her body, stretched out all her nerves, and looked towards the other side through the slit of her eye.

It was Ye Qingming.

He was also shocked.

"What are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

Seeing that it was him, Lin Manrou finally relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief. After a long while, he said, "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I ended up walking here."

Ye Qingming pulled her up, "There's a bathroom in the bedroom, and you even ran outside."

"I'm afraid I'll wake you up."

Before she left, Lin Qingrou turned to look at the study and could not help but inwardly complain about her cowardice.

"Next time don't come out by yourself in the middle of the night, or even if you can't sleep and want to come out, remember to turn on the lights."

His "persuasive" habit had returned, as if he had opened a box that he could not close.

Lin Qingrou said embarrassedly, "I got it. Every time you say those words to me, I feel like I'm a child. Don't tell me that I, as an adult, still don't know about these things! "

Ye Qingming got her into bed and covered her with a blanket. Then, he turned off the light and smiled. "You think you aren't?"

As soon as she covered herself with the blanket, she felt warm and full of security. She let out a sigh of relief. No matter what happens tomorrow, I should just get a good night's sleep.

While she was still half asleep, Ye Qingming suddenly hugged her.

"Why?"

He mumbled, "I still need to keep an eye on you. I don't want you to run away before dawn."

Lin Qingrou didn't say anything, but under the bright moonlight, she could not help but raise the corner of her lips. Not long later, she fell back into a deep slumber.

The inside of the window was quiet and warm, with the wind and clouds rising and falling outside. After dawn, the night had already faded away. The next day, he would return to the world. He would spend the night in silence.

The next morning, Lin Qingrou woke up early, rolled up her hair and put on her apron. She took the initiative to make a rather sumptuous breakfast.

She had spent quite a bit of effort to find some information from the internet and also some ingredients. He even wrapped wontons in the kitchen.

It wasn't just Lin Qingrou who didn't believe this. Ye Qingming couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Fortunately, it's not that difficult. The wonton skin was bought at home, so I'll just mix it with some meat stuffing. "

Ye Qingming studied it for a while as if it was a high-difficulty operation. Then, he said seriously, "This is wonton?"

Lin Qingrou answered matter-of-factly. She raised her head and said, "Yes, is that wrong?"

Ye Qingming saw that her face was covered in flour and had turned golden due to the sun's rays, making her look even more adorable. He refrained from laughing. No matter what, his cooking experience was still much richer than hers. After tasting the meat stuffing, he said, "Isn't it a bit salty?"

Lin ManRou didn't have much confidence in herself, so she naturally believed Ye Qingming's words.

She cried, "Then what do we do?"

Ye Qingming couldn't help comforting her, "Drink some water while you're eating."

There was no other way. This was the only way.

After a busy morning, it was already nine o'clock when the two of them finally sat down at the dining table to eat.

Lin smiled and called it "brunch."

Ye Qingming was a kind person. He would rather die than eat anything with her.

However, she had to spit it out after just one bite.

"It tastes so bad."

Lin Qingrou thought about what she had done wrong. It was only when Ye Qingming revealed everything that she finally realized.

He had forgotten to release the ginger.

She felt rather wronged. "Then why didn't you tell me when you tasted it?"

Ye Qingming said righteously, "I have to let you know what's wrong. Next time, you have to remember to change it!"

Lin Manmei was speechless.

Although ginger didn't seem to be important, if it wasn't there, then the taste of the ingredients would be greatly reduced.

"Although it's unremarkable, its value is great." Ye Qingming said as he finished washing the dishes.

Lin Qingrou, who was standing by the side, filled the pot again and muttered, "Who did you learn your culinary skills from? "He's much stronger than me."

Ye Qingming quickly repackaged the wonton, proficient in techniques. Lin Manshou suddenly recalled that Ye Qingming was said to have tied his knots the fastest when he was a surgical intern in the medical academy.

"I used to be a little bit at school. Then he went abroad to study for two years. His landlord was French and the things he made really didn't suit my taste. So he learned them all. "

"The French? "Is he handsome?"

"Do French have to be handsome?"

"Not necessarily. I'm just curious. Because I once saw a French girl who was so beautiful. "

"He is not very handsome, but he has the air of an artist. He studied oil painting. "

Lin Qingrou was actually looking forward to the Frenchman who knew how to paint.

Fortunately, Ye Qingming was able to pull her thoughts back in time.

"Yes, it should be good this time."

They stood in front of the pot with their arms crossed, their expressions serious and their hearts full of piety, watching the little wontons rise and fall.

"Will we succeed? If we still fail this time, then we won't have any food to eat. "

"Yes. "Definitely."

Ye Qingming felt that he wasn't this nervous even when he had his first operation.

However, thanks to the blessing of the heavens, this time's wonton was not easy to come by, so it was especially delicious.

After three spoonfuls of vinegar, Ye Qingming said with a pained heart, "There's so much vinegar, even the taste of wontons is gone. "All that's left is acid."

There was no helping it, Lin Qingrou only liked to eat like this.

While eating, Ye Qingming suddenly said, "I haven't seen Liu Yuxi recently, and I haven't seen you in the hospital either."

A 'clang' sound was heard. The spoon in Lin Qingrou's hand fell onto the dining table.

"She was here before. You went to work that day, so you didn't know."

Ye Qingming was suddenly enlightened.

"I heard that the Liu Clan has brought back a lot of people recently, causing a huge uproar. Even the head nurse of the ward has come to ask me for inside information. "

Lin Qingrou lowered her eyebrows as she ate quietly. However, the taste in her mouth was as tasty as chewing wax.

"Grandfather's health hasn't been good recently, so everyone came back."

She couldn't say that Liu Yuxi had gotten sick, because that was Liu Yuxi's last resort. How could she not know? Ye Qingming didn't care about these gossips. He just nodded his head and picked up the newspaper.

Ye Qingming had free time to flip through the newspaper. As a very fast reader, he finished reading it in less than ten minutes.

The development of the media was slow, and some of them even took two steps back. Therefore, an eight-page newspaper also looked extremely quick because it was full of advertisements.

"There doesn't seem to be anything to eat here," she told him as she brought him a glass of lemonade.

Ye Qingming looked up and said, "I'll go to the shopping mall across the street later. Just wait at home."

After saying that, he closed the newspaper, got up and tidied his clothes, and picked up the car keys.

Before he left, he warned again, "Remember to not open the window. If you must air it, open the restaurant's window. You can stay upstairs."

Lin Qingrou walked him out the door. As the car drove further and further away, she could finally find some clues in the study on the first floor.

But when she saw the big bookcase again, she was troubled: were there so many books, were they all to be read? But if there were no clues in the bookcase, what place was there in the study to hide anything? Lin Qingrou looked at the chairs and the carpet, searching through them, but she couldn't find any clues.

The more anxious she was, the more she couldn't calm down. She looked around and finally stopped at where Ye Qingming was sitting yesterday.

"I clearly remember that it was placed there. Could it be that Big Brother came over?"

What he had said back then had brought a flash of inspiration to Lin Qingrou.

Could it be that it was because Ye Qingcheng had rummaged through the bookshelves before they came that he placed Ye Qingming's book in the wrong place?

As Lin Qingrou thought about this, she immediately went to Ye Qingming's bookcase as per what she remembered from yesterday. There were two thick books there, one on orthopedic trauma, the other on orthopedic surgical techniques. The two books were about ten centimeters thick and weighed several pounds.

Lin Qingrou put the two books away and looked inside the cabinet. Everything was fine, there was nothing suspicious at all.

She curiously put the two thick books back. She, who had originally wanted to give up, unintentionally saw a row of dust marks, which made her think of something.

According to what Ye Qingming had said, if no one came for a long time, the bookshelf would more or less be covered in dust. Especially when the books were placed in the innermost area, dust marks would be left along the outer edges of the spine.

Lin felt that she had to prove her point. She crouched down and began to examine the bottom row of bookcases. If there was a sudden disappearance of a row of dust, even a messy distribution, and there was a clean spot without any dust, then this would be the place where someone had once moved to.

However, this bookcase was simply too big. When she looked up, she realized that there was still half of it that she had yet to find.

But she couldn't give up. After tonight, she had to go back. If she wanted to come back in the future, it wouldn't be so easy.

Although there was a high chance that Ye Qingcheng had already taken away the item, she still wanted to give it a try and see if she could find any more clues.

After another ten minutes, he heard several beeping sounds coming from outside the door.

Ye Qingming returned.

She reacted then and hurried back down the stairs to her bedroom to pretend to rest.

Ye Qingming was busy downstairs for a while. When Lin Qingrou's breathing calmed down and his complexion improved, he came up and asked her: "Did you go to the study room?"

Lin Qingrou's heart skipped a beat, afraid that he would discover something.

"Your hairpin fell on the calligraphy floor." He smiled and handed her the bun.

Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief, "I was too bored just now, so I wanted to find a few books to read. "In the end, I found out that they were all medical books. I couldn't understand it, so I came back."

She smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, and sat down on the bed.

"Ye Qingming pulled up half of the window screen, allowing the sunlight to filter out the eye-piercing part, leaving behind only warmth." "I still can't go to the study room to look for books, there's really nothing to read. Even I feel bored."

Lin Manshou casually asked, "Then where are you guys going to find these books?"

"The basement."

"Basement?" She was surprised.

Ye Qingming explained, "Other than medical books, the rest of the books are in the basement. There are even more books in the cabinet."

She asked, "The entire basement is filled with books?"

Ye Qingming nodded and lay beside her, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

"How many books have you read since you were young?" she asked.

Ye Qingming thought for a while. In the end, he could only shake his head and say, "I don't remember. However, the one who reads the most at home is Third Sis. She remembers the books very quickly and accurately, just like a scanner. "

Third sister, Ye Qinggran? It was as if she had always been ignored by Lin Qingrou, even by the Ye Family. She may be inconspicuous, but she plays a big part in the whole thing.

She said, "Third Sister is so amazing, no wonder you went abroad so early to study."

Ye Qingming nodded. Amongst everyone in the family, he felt that Ye Qingran had the best temper. She would always look at him with a gentle smile and would never lose her temper. So sometimes, Ye Qingming would also think: She and Ye Qingzhi are twins, why is there such a huge difference in temperament?

"Speaking of which, Quan Wei's intelligence is very similar to Third Sis's. Looks like it's important to pass down knowledge through words, don't you think so?"

After saying that, Lin Qingrou looked towards Ye Qingming.

Ye Qingming remained calm and didn't retort. There was no change in his expression. Therefore, Lin Qingrou didn't know if he was agreeing or denying it.

"Third Sister?" They weren't really together when Quan Wei was young, how could they be like that? " He laughed.

Only then did Lin Qingrou remember. It was probably because only a few years after Quan Wei had arrived at the Ye family, Ye Qingran had married her ex-husband. So from the looks of it, Ye Qingran and Quan Wei should have spent the least time together in the Ye family.

Ye Qingming suddenly said, "I know you hate her for what happened this time, but since things have come to this, there's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Qingrou knew that he meant Quan Wei by "she". So she smiled, neither forgiving nor resentful. After all, at a time like this, words could be clearly spoken, and what was more, they were a family, so it was impossible for her to say anything else.

From a certain point of view, she seemed to be more grateful to Quan Wei. If it wasn't for her, he would still be trapped in the child's trap. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have been able to reconcile with Ye Qing Ming.

But, Quan Wei wouldn't sit still and wait for death. Last time, although she had been caught unprepared by Lin Qingrou's advance and retreat, it was hard to guarantee that this time she would not find any other evidence to add insult to injury to injury.

Lin Qingrou's thoughts were thrown into disarray once again. At this stage, she had no choice but to do as she was told, in case she did more wrong.
