C97

Dusk fell from the west, the sun disappeared, and darkness returned.

Lin Qingrou sat on the sofa, curled up like a cat confronting the dark night.

Tonight was her last chance.

At this moment, Ye Qingming was in the bedroom. Later on, he would go take a bath, so she had to use this time to find the books that had been moved to the bookcase.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of splashing water came from upstairs. The sound was intermittent and irregular, proving that someone was indeed taking a bath under a shower of flowers.

Lin Qingrou stood up and walked into the study in her slippers. She quickly started her search and found that every second counted.

Fifteen minutes later, the sound of the water stopped. Lin Qingrou was startled, thinking that Ye Qingming's shower speed was not that fast.

After a few seconds, the irregular sound of water once again appeared. She silently breathed a sigh of relief.

When he returned to the bookcase, he had already read more than half of the imprint, but he was still unable to find anything.

Maybe Ye Qingcheng just wanted to use a "trick" to trick the people who wanted to find the answer, but in reality, he had not hidden anything in the books, or even in the study?

Lin Qingrou gradually wanted to give up.

Perhaps, he was just thinking too much.

She slowly deflated and slid down to sit beside the bookcase.

However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a very obvious trace of dust being pressed down on the bookshelf behind her.

The book in this position was a 'Surgical Atlas' that was far less thick than the dust marks on it. In other words, this book should have been placed at the bottom of the 'Orthopaedic Traumatology', but now, it had been moved here.

What was behind the book?

Lin Qingrou was about to pick up the books and investigate when the sound of the water upstairs suddenly stopped. In less than a few minutes, Ye Qingming's footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs.

Lin Qingrou went out through the study door and headed to the restaurant at the back. She pretended to be drinking water.

As Ye Qingming dried his hair, he said to her, "Should we go to the basement to take a look? There are a lot of books there, so you don't get bored when you go home alone. "

Her interest was piqued. "Alright, then let's go take a look."

"But," Lin Qingrou stopped and looked at Ye Qingming, "Your hair hasn't dried yet, so you should blow it dry first. The basement would probably be a little cold."

Ye Qingming reacted and smiled, "I almost forgot, wait for me for a moment."

With that, he ran to the bathroom and blew on the hair dryer for a minute before coming out.

"Let's go." "No," he said.

They went down the back steps of the kitchen door to the basement.

Lin Qingrou looked around. Luckily, it was not as cold as she had expected.

Indeed, just as Ye Qingming had said, books and some old furniture were piled together in the basement illuminated by a white woven lamp, giving off a damp and musty smell. However, even though there was a large amount of these things, they were not disorderly, so it was very easy to search through them.

"Here are some foreign documents of the medical profession, and some of them are old manuscripts. My brother told me that when he retires, the books are going to be donated to the medical school library. "

"Donate?" Lin Qingrou was curious.

In the world of Ye Qingcheng, would there be such a thing as a "donation"?

Ye Qingming raised his head from the pile of books. "Of course, he has donated a lot of books to the school before. I don't know if it's this time or not."

He remembered something else: "I remember a lot of years ago, when I was in high school, and I grew so fast in that year that I couldn't wear a lot of my old clothes. Big Sis originally wanted to throw it away, but she was even scolded by Big Bro later on. After that, all the clothes were taken by Big Brother to be donated to children in poor mountain regions. "

Lin Qingrou could not believe that Ye Qingcheng was this kind of person!? Would he be able to selflessly sacrifice himself to such an extent?

Still, she said, "Then he's a very good man."

Ye Qingming shrugged and didn't say anything as he continued to read his book. Looking at his expression, Lin Qingrou wasn't sure if he agreed or not, but she felt it was weird.

"There are really too many books here. Did you guys read them from a young age?"

"Of course not, I can't finish reading all these books. Some of them were books from my parents' time, and some of the ones we used to buy, that is, to double, and put aside. But luckily, there aren't many of these books. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste? "

Hearing Ye Qingming mention his parents once again, Lin Qingrou's hand gradually slowed down as she recalled the report she had seen on the investigation.

Was it really what he thought it was? Should she ask Ye Qingming?

Lin Manrou thought about it and felt that she was too naive. How could she ask such a question? Would Ye Qingming tell her the truth?

Ye Qingming suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?"

She suddenly regained her senses and hurriedly dropped the book in her hands.

"Nothing, I was lost in thought when I was reading just now." She picked up the book and put it back.

Ye Qingming wasn't stupid. On the contrary, he was smarter and more experienced than her. However, his only weakness was that he was too accommodating to others and too perfectionist towards human nature.

However, this world was originally half real, half fake, and sometimes dim. Thus, those who pursued perfection would definitely be injured.

She thought of Ye Qingming's words, "A doctor cannot cure himself." He had originally meant it for her, but now that she thought about it, wasn't it also meant it for her as well?

He thought he could change this world, but in the end it turned out to be this world that had changed him.

Crime is like a mirror. There is always one side that finds its own terror.

In fact, they were all the same. Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingming were no different, he and Ye Qingcheng were no different. They were all working for their own hearts and never doubted it.

Due to all these accidents and fortuitous encounters, the trip to the villa did not yield any results. However, Lin Qingrou did not feel disappointed. She had expected this outcome, so she and Ye Qingming calmly went back home and continued living a peaceful life.

The mask was still there, but the facial features on it had become more varied and exhausted.

One afternoon after she had finished recuperating, Lin took advantage of the bright sunshine to visit Liu's home. As they approached her house, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Zhou, Zhou Yuan?" Fortunately, she remembered his name.

Zhou Yuan happened to be nearby. Although he was a little surprised, he still greeted her generously, "I didn't expect to see you here. I heard from Ye Qingming that your recent situation is quite good, right?"

"Not bad, not bad. "What about you?"

He smiled in that hesitant, reluctant way.

"It's a doctor's job, that's all. "Busy going back and forth. There's nothing good about it."

It could be seen that his job or life was not what he had hoped for.

"Oh yeah, I don't know if Ye Qingming told you, but I'm getting married soon."

Lin Qingrou was taken aback.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you. I just got a new invitation and am writing a new one for you? " With that, he and Lin Qingrou arrived at the nearest coffee shop. He took out the recently printed invitation card from his bag.

Zhou Yuan picked out the top two pieces and carefully wrote "Ye Qingming" and "Lin Qingrou" before handing them over to her.

"You must remember to come."

Lin Qingrou accepted it solemnly, smiling from the bottom of his heart. "Sure, sure."

Zhou Yuan closed the cap and opened it again.

"Where's Yu Xi?" How is she? "

Lin Manshou did not expect him to mention Liu Yuxi.

"Fortunately, it's still the same as before."

With regards to the matter between him and Liu Yuxi, Lin Qingrou was still somewhat dissatisfied with him. But now that he thought about it, it was all in the past.

Zhou Yuan nodded. It was unknown if it was due to regret or not, but his expression was a little unnatural.

She knew that it was meddling in other people's business, but she still wanted to ask, "When you broke up, why did you do it?"

Zhou Yuan took a sip of his coffee and said, "We are not from the same world, so we can't be together. But I admit that I really liked her when I was with her. "

"We're not in the same world, so we can't be together." This reason was simply omnipotent, both in terms of money and in terms of the spiritual world.

They were not in the same world, so they could only be strangers for the rest of their lives. Even being friends was a sin.

However, even though Lin Qingrou knew Zhou Yuan's thoughts, she still wanted to take back some justice for Liu Yuxi's previous tears.

"How do you know she won't live with you and help you out? Was she the kind of person who could only share wealth and not suffering? Or do you think she's a lady who can do nothing. It can only be seen from the window, and cannot be touched. "

Zhou Yuan looked at her as if he was used to this kind of questioning.

"I admit, she's not the kind of person who has money. She could eat expensive French food, but she could also eat barbecue on the street, which was a good quality. But if the hot and hot Ma as a normal, and the French feast becomes luxurious, even far away, the days will not be so good. "

Lin Qingrou was stunned.

Indeed, if one day, when Liu Yuxi's most ordinary life had become luxurious, he didn't know if she would be able to adapt or not.

Lin Qingrou admitted that Zhou Yuan's words were reasonable, so when she passed them on to Liu Yuxi, she didn't say much about her own interpretation. Because he had already said it very clearly.

Liu Yuxi probably had a lot on his mind during this period of time, so he didn't want to be the center of attention anymore.

She smiled faintly and said to Lin Qingrou, "Do you know why I was together with Jane at that time?"

"Emptiness? Or something else, I don't believe it was love. "

Liu Yuxi rolled his eyes at her. "Indeed, it's not love."

"I don't know what it was. But whose anger? I don't know myself. It wasn't until you said Zhou Yuan's words that I realized that you were probably betting on his anger. "

"I didn't agree with him at first, and I even angrily dragged you to eat the Ma La Pao. But now, he finally understood that what he said wasn't without reason. But because it makes sense, I'm even angrier. "

"However, this is not important. After all, for me right now, health is the most important thing. I still have to wait for a review. Good or bad, I have to take responsibility. As you said, people always look forward. "

Lin Qingrou smiled at her. She no longer seemed like the Liu Yuxi from before, but a completely different person.

Liu Yuxi suddenly asked, "You didn't find anything when you went to the villa, what are you going to do next?"

Lin Manchu shook her head. Ever since Liu Yuxi had gotten sick and lost his children, she seemed to be getting more and more tired and forgetful. She didn't know if it was because of the pain from her illness, but the hatred from before had gradually faded. Her current self seemed to have walked further and further away from the path of revenge.

That was not her intention, but she felt very tired. If he could, even if he could escape for a bit, how good would that be?

However, she was not allowed to slack off in the slightest under any circumstances.

Lin Qingrou braced herself and asked Liu Yuxi, "Have you felt better recently? If you are not feeling well, you must go to the hospital in time. "

"I know, don't worry about me. On the other hand, you, are you going to just let it go like this after being harassed by Quan Wei? The child died because she didn't. You almost died in the cemetery because of her. "I can see that you're not angry, but you're not going to tell Ye Qingming what happened."

"How could I not have thought of it? We have as many chips in our hands as we do right now, and no one can say anything. No one can believe that the other party will keep their mouths shut and can only watch the flames from the other side of the river. It's not necessarily the best strategy to make a move first. We should just wait and see, then make a move. "

Liu Yuxi pursed his lips, looked at his phone and said, "A few days ago, Ye Sisi called me. She seemed to want to talk about marriage. "But how am I supposed to meet her with my current condition? So, do you want to take a look?"

Lin Manrou thought for a moment. Coincidentally, she hadn't seen Ye Sisi for a long time, so she agreed.

After seeing Ye Sisi for so long, Lin Canrou felt that Ye Sisi had become even more beautiful and frail.

Lin Manshou asked first, "Have you been busy with your wedding recently? "How are your preparations?"

Ye Sisi shook her head. "It's all because of their family. I don't want to interfere."

"If you don't prepare for the wedding, you have to take care of your body. Otherwise, you won't look good when you get married."

Ye Sisi's eyes were dull. She rolled her eyes and whispered, "It doesn't matter. I don't care what this wedding is like."

Lin Qingrou did not know what to say, because she did not set an example, and could not be considered as someone who had experienced much. She felt that she didn't have much of a say in marriage, especially with Ye Sisi.

"Actually, the reason I went to look for Big Sister Yu Xi that day was to drink with her. I'm so bored. "

When Ye Sisi was overseas, she had almost never drunk alcohol before. In the past, Shen Ru Zhen, who accompanied reading, was not allowed, but later on, Li Ya was not allowed. So she had been living a life without a drop of wine. And this time, she suddenly had the urge to drink, probably because her heart was too bitter, so she could only pour out her worries with the help of wine.

Lin Qingrou looked at her helplessly, feeling pity for her. If Li Jun didn't know her, then her worries for today would be reduced by half.

She tried to ask her, "If you didn't know that boyfriend of yours, would you not be so sad if you married Ji Heng?"

Ye Sisi's eyes suddenly filled with tears. "Even without him, I still don't want to marry Ji Heng. "I believe Ji Heng doesn't agree with this either, but he doesn't agree with me. Why didn't he explain everything to his family and insisted on dragging me into this?"

"What else did he say to you other than that blind date?"

"He didn't say anything. He just didn't object. But he didn't do anything. He just let it happen. He has someone else in his heart, so why did he marry me? I don't understand. "

Lin Qingrou suddenly had a bad premonition. Could Ji Heng be thinking of using Ye Sisi's cowardice to marry her and block her parents' mouths before openly finding the person he truly loved?!

Although this idea was a bit absurd and exaggerated, it was still possible.

Lin Qingrou was worried. She quickly went home after breaking up with Ye Sisi, and told him about this matter after meeting Ye Qingming. After all, he was a man, so he should understand Ji Heng's thoughts. Furthermore, he was Ye Qingcheng's little brother. Thus, he was the person who could speak the most right now.

"Ji Heng? I've met him once, so he's pretty steady. " Ye Qingming actually had a good evaluation of him.

"But he's steady and doesn't have much to do with him deliberately deceiving Sisi and getting married."

As soon as Ye Qingming returned home, he discussed this with Lin Qingrou and nodded his head. To that end, he had to shift his thoughts from the hospital operating table to the topic of love.

Then, he quickly understood what Lin Qingrou meant. "You want me to advise big brother to give up on Ye Sisi and Ji Heng's wedding?"

Lin Qingrou nodded her head cautiously, equally unsure of herself.

Ye Qingming was in a difficult situation. He had always been unwilling to ask about Ye Qingcheng's family matters, not to mention that this marriage was very important to Ye Qingcheng.

He sat with her and tried to make it clear to her: "Their marriage was almost decided from the beginning. Ji Heng has always known about this. However, back then, Sisi was still young, so he never mentioned it to her. "

She suddenly asked, "Is this an arranged marriage?"

Ye Qingming smiled, "Do you think that counts? It was more or less like that. Actually, if the Ji Clan hadn't gone this far, the marriage probably wouldn't have mattered. But today, that incident happened again a while ago, so the marriage with the Ji Clan is inevitable. "

She could not help but ask, "Ye..." Big brother doesn't care about his daughter's happiness? Or could it be that his own problems will be solved by his daughter having to sacrifice herself to get married? "

Ye Qingming saw that she was getting more and more agitated, so he couldn't help but pat her hand and said: "No matter what, now that the situation has been decided, it's not something we can control. Sister-in-law's advice is useless for what Big Brother has decided, so we can't say anything about it. "

Lin Qingrou was a little disappointed. That's right, even Ye Sisi's mother Shen Ruzhen's advice was useless. What else could Ye Qingming say?

However, she was still unwilling to give up, "Then what if you were to handle this matter? If it was your daughter, would you do the same!? "

Ye Qingming shook his head.

"Of course not. If it were my child, I would only want him to be healthy, smart and happy. As for his studies, his work, his money, his rights, all he has to do is try his best, but he can't force it. "

Lin Qingrou sighed silently. If Ye Qingcheng thought the same way, Ye Sisi's fate would probably be much better.
