Lin Qingrou sat beside Ye Qingming. She watched as he took out many thick books from the bookcase and drawer. She couldn't help but sigh. "Did you guys want to learn these when you were in school?"

Ye Qingming explained, "Only a small part of it was learned by us. These books are the latest versions of the literature that my friend brought back from abroad, so they have to be consulted a lot of the time. "

Lin Qingrou nodded, flipping the pages left and right. Although her English was still passable, she was still defeated by so many medical terms.

She couldn't help laughing and calling herself "half illiterate."

After a while, the whole room quieted down.

Ye Qingming flipped through the documents, and Lin Qingrou sat at the side, busy with his own matters.

The two of them did not say a word, their expressions serious and focused.

"Achoo!"

Lin Qingrou could not help but sneeze.

When Ye Qingming saw this, he asked, "Why don't you go to sleep?"

Lin Qingrou pulled her pajamas tighter around her and muttered, "Why is it so cold in this room?"

Ye Qingming then remembered and explained, "The temperature in the study room is lower than the other rooms. I forgot to tell you earlier."

Lin Qingrou wiped her nose as she asked, "Why are you not cold?"

Ye Qingming put down his pen and remembered to drink some water. He then said, "The temperature is too high, it can relax people and make them sleepy. "It's not conducive to learning."

Lin Qingrou sighed, "He really is a bookworm."

Ye Qingming stood up and looked at his watch, then said to her, "It's already the wee hours of the morning, are you still not going to sleep?"

Lin Qingrou thought for a moment, then said, "Okay then, I'll go to sleep first." "What about you? When are you done?"

Ye Qingming escorted her back to her bedroom and then watched her lie down before saying, "Wait a little longer."

Lin Qingrou sighed softly and reminded him, "Alright then, but don't be too late."

Ye Qingming nodded and finally settled her down.

Seeing him leave the bedroom, Lin Manrou pulled up her blanket again as she recalled what had happened tonight.

All of this seemed to be out of her expectations, but it also seemed to make sense. It could only be said that Ye Qingcheng was too cunning. Ye Sisi knew about Ye Qingcheng's affair, but she didn't seize the opportunity to expose him.

Recalling Ye Sisi's expression back then, Lin Qingrou understood that Ye Sisi did not believe it at all. She did not believe that Ye Qingcheng was only a person who would be able to provide financial support.

As a person who knew everything, Lin Qingrou was even more unconvinced.

However, she could not say much more. Because, it was far from that time. Zhao Ru's matter was like a ticking time bomb, it would forever be hanging in Ye Qingcheng's heart.

Lin Qingrou understood that if this time bomb were to explode one day, it would pull Ye Qingcheng into a situation where she would never be able to recover from it.

But Shen Ruzhen, did she know about all of this … The more she thought, the more confused she became. She couldn't help but sit up and silently stare into the darkness.

Just as her mind was in an even more confused state, she suddenly heard a faintly discernible ringing of a phone from the study across the way.

As she listened carefully, she realized that it was Ye Qingming's cellphone's ringtone.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the phone would disturb his sleep, Ye Qingming quickly picked up the phone.

Lin Qingrou was still conscious. Although she didn't think it was necessary, she could still hear Ye Qingming's voice.

"Power cut? Impossible, you can find a property, there's no need to call me … Of course, I'm busy right now. You... "Forget it, just wait at home."

Lin Qingrou listened from the beginning to the end, her heart sinking. This was because she could tell that the phone call he received came from a woman!

Although Ye Qingming's tone was unwilling, he still agreed to the request.

Lin Qingrou was very curious, who was it that made Ye Qingming rush over at midnight!? She lay back down to pretend that she was sleeping, in case Ye Qingming discovered something when she came over.

Sure enough, after Ye Qingming changed his clothes, he went to his bedroom to look at Lin Qingrou. Seeing that she was fast asleep, he did not wake her up.

Bang.

The sound of the door closing was just like a loud crash against Lin Qingrou's heart.

Although she had told herself countless times, the truth should not be the worst outcome that she had ever imagined. But most of the time, the situation would only be worse than he thought.

In the few hours after Ye Qingming left, Lin Qingrou did not fall asleep. She just quietly looked at the ceiling, the windows, and the walls.

After she had calmed down, she had a trace of doubt in her mind: When did she start caring about Ye Qingming so much? After thinking for a long time, she still could not find an answer. Strangely, however, the thought did not strike fear in her.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the door open.

Ye Qingming had returned.

Lin Qingrou suddenly became nervous for no reason. She clutched a corner of the blanket tightly, afraid that he would suddenly come to her bedroom. However, she seemed to have thought too much after a while. Ye Qingming quietly returned to the study room and continued to read.

She calmed down, and a sour feeling of unwillingness gradually arose in her heart. He acted like he had just woken up. He put on his slippers and went to the living room to drink some water.

"I just heard the door close. Are you out?"

She asked like this, wondering how Ye Qingming would answer.

Ye Qingming never thought that she would wake up. However, he calmly admitted that he had indeed been out.

"A friend of mine had his electricity cut and wanted me to help fix it."

Lin Qingrou's heart trembled slightly, but she maintained her calm. She asked with a hint of doubt, "But it's already early in the morning, and I still need your help. Does this mean that your relationship isn't bad?"

Ye Qingming could not hold back his laughter, he did not try to defend himself and went into the living room to turn on the night-light. He said to her, "I should have told you before I left, but you were sleeping, so I did not disturb you."

Lin Qingrou took a sip of water, as if she was unwilling to admit that she cared too much, and said against her will, "I didn't say anything, you don't have to explain to me."

Ye Qingming couldn't help laughing, "If I didn't have something on my mind, I wouldn't have woken up now." Furthermore, the voice that I heard from your voice does not seem to have just woken up. Could it be that I haven't slept at all? "

Lin Qingrou was stunned. It seemed that she couldn't act in front of the doctor, so she admitted half-truthfully, "The door that you closed when you left woke me up. I thought something had happened in your hospital, so I decided to wake up and wait for you."

Ye Qingming saw this and said apologetically: "It's my fault. Next time, I will not go out at night."

Lin Qingrou did not want him to think she was jealous, so she explained, "I didn't say anything, so you don't need to worry about me."

Ye Qingming was very smart. He knew that she was just being stubborn, so he let her be.

After a while, the two of them seemed to no longer have any sleep. They sat together and chatted about what just happened.

Lin Qingrou replied straightforwardly, "You know that your brother and sister-in-law are lying tonight, right?"

Ye Qingming nodded. His expression in the darkness could not be seen clearly, but his tone was exceptionally calm.

"Maybe. However, since his sister-in-law had acquiesced, it was not a lie. After all, Sisi was still a child, and many problems were not as simple as right and wrong. Perhaps after she marries herself, she will slowly understand. "

She was curious. "It's not right or wrong, so what do you think is going beyond that?"

"People only have life and death in front of doctors, only failure and success in surgery. However, it is actually not as simple as people think. "

"The operation that day should have been a very simple and ordinary one. However, he did not expect that the operation would result in severe bleeding, which would eventually lead to the patient having to have his limbs amputated. "

"Do you think this operation is a failure or a success? He had clearly removed the tumor and saved his life, but it had caused him to lose one of his legs that he instinctively protected. There were too many uncertainties in the procedure. No matter how advanced or advanced the instruments were, it was impossible for them to predict the operation completely. The chances of this happening were small, but it was unavoidable. Is the doctor wrong, yes. The patient was even less likely to be at fault. However, the final fact was not satisfactory. This matter is far from being right or wrong. "

"Surgery is unpredictable, so life is even more so. Or, rather, life is more unpredictable than surgery. "Thus, at times like these, we can only move forward in a blur. Right and wrong are far more defined than that."

Lin Qingrou listened quietly, and suddenly, a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind.

Ye Qingming stopped and looked at her. He suddenly thought of something and said to her, "I might have forgotten. I shouldn't have told you about the hospital."

Lin Qingrou shook her head, "It doesn't matter. I would like to hear about the hospital from you."

Ye Qingming continued, "Yesterday, I bought all the gifts you brought home. Remember, don't forget them."

Lin Qingrou asked curiously, "What did you buy?"

Ye Qingming explained, "I remember you said that Dad's stomach wasn't too good, so I asked a few colleagues about it and bought some health care products for him."

Lin Qingrou felt as if her heart was being pricked by scissors, a sense of oppression gradually came over her.

"Alright, I understand." She pretended to be calm.

Ye Qingming did not seem to notice her change and continued to remind her, "Gastric disease can be big or small, it cannot be ignored." If it develops into a gastric ulcer, it will be very difficult to cure. "

"Stomach ulcers?" Lin Qingrou murmured to herself.

The three words were very familiar to her, but they hadn't appeared in her life for a long time.

"Yes, gastric ulcers can easily develop if not treated in time. So when you go home, you have to tell him to eat on time, take your medicine on time, and check on time. "

Lin Qingrou replied slowly, "Okay, I will tell him. "Thank you."

Ye Qingming smiled, thinking it was his responsibility.
