After dinner, Ye Qingcheng said to Ye Qingming, "This time, some of the leaders of the city and province will come to attend the wedding. Would you like to meet them together?"
Ye Qingming didn't even think before rejecting the offer. He said to Ye Qingcheng, "It's not the time yet, let's talk about it in the future."
"Of course, it's up to you whether you want to see him or not. It's just that this is a good opportunity. If you want to, then use it."
"I know, but this is Sisi's wedding, after all. If we want to meet, then we should look for a chance to do so in the future. "
Ye Qingcheng suddenly thought of something and said to Shen Ruzhen, "Where's Sisi? Did you go find Ji Heng today? "
Shen Ruzhen nodded her head and said, "She went and sent me a message just now. She just returned home."
Ye Qingcheng seemed to heave a sigh of relief and said to Shen Ruzhen, "We should still let them cultivate our feelings more. This way, it's better than not knowing anything."
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou and knew that she was always concerned about Ye Sisi. He then asked Ye Qingcheng, "The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time and got married just like that. Did the Ji Clan say anything?"
Ye Qingcheng seemed unwilling to answer this question. He said to Ye Qingming, "You can still cultivate someone without feelings."
Seeing this, Ye Qingming did not want to ask anymore. He only felt that it was a pity.
When the two of them returned home, Lin KuanRou looked to be in a bad mood, Ye Qingming knew why she was feeling troubled.
Ye Qingming sat beside her and said, "We can't participate in this. After all, if our eldest sister-in-law doesn't say anything, we don't even have the right to speak. "
Lin Qingrou smiled helplessly. The helplessness she felt almost caused her to collapse.
"Just because of the Ji Clan's rights, we must let Sisi marry into their family? Your big brother already has the ability to do what he wants now, so why can't you let his daughter live a simpler life? "
Ye Qingming also sighed and said, "But, there is never an end to a person's desires. It was just like those who were sick. Before they became ill, they swore a oath about how to do good deeds and how to love themselves. However, after recovering, I still stayed up late drinking. It's just like before, the person who was afraid of death and was afraid of pain was not me. "
"Tell me, is there an end to human desire?"
Lin Qingrou fell into deep thought as she listened to what he said.
After a while, she asked, "Even you can't completely understand what your big brother is thinking. That's all we can do, isn't it? "
Ye Qingming looked at her and comforted, "Yes, you've tried your best." "If you think too much then you will be trapped in a cage."
Lin Qingrou could only nod her head, planning to never mention this matter again. Regardless of how Ye Sisi would be in the future, if he could, he would definitely help her. However, the path in the future would depend on her.
Right at that moment, Lin Qingrou's phone rang.
She looked at the phone and said to Ye Qingming, "It's my brother."
Last week, Cheng Yun received a call from Lin Yi, who repeatedly told him to visit his aunt on time. Who knew that when he got busy, he would completely forget about it.
It just so happened that he had nothing to do this weekend, so he decided to call Lin Kangshuang to go with him.
Lin Manshou agreed and said to him, "Do you need to buy something else? We haven't seen her in a long time. "
Cheng Yun thought for a moment and said, "I'll buy it. Wait at home for me to pick you up."
After putting away the phone, Lin Qingrou told Ye Qingming that she was going to the sanatorium tomorrow.
As Ye Qingming listened, he asked her, "Do you want me to go with you? Speaking of which, she didn't come when we were married, and I didn't hear you mention it.
Lin Qingrou replied subconsciously, "It doesn't matter, since you haven't seen her before, it doesn't matter. My aunt has been in a bad mental state, so she doesn't talk to anyone. She hasn't seen a stranger in the past few years. I wonder if something else will happen if I see you. "
Ye Qingming understood. As a doctor, he naturally knew what to do to people with mental states that were not good, so he didn't pursue the matter.
Before she went to bed, Lin Qingrou had a rare moment of leisure. Suddenly, her interest was piqued, and she leaned against the bed, reading a few pages.
When Ye Qingming came out of his shower and saw the Mountain and Sea Scripture in Lin Qingrou's hands, he could not help but laugh. "Why do you think of this?"
Lin Qingrou smiled and said, "I saw it in your bookcase."
After saying that, she waved it in her hand and said to him, "When did you read this book? There are also some notes written by you on it. I've read a few and found them very interesting. "
Ye Qingming looked inside the book and thought for a while before saying, "It was probably a book from my elementary school. It was probably given to me by my grandpa. I didn't understand it at first, but he explained it to me word for word, so there were pinyin and some explanations. "
Lin Qingrou carefully read the notes Ye Qingming had written when he was young. She found them even more interesting than the cryptic and incomprehensible ancient characters.
She accidentally flipped to the page with Qiong Qi. She couldn't help but laugh as she looked at it. "So, after reading this page, you also had a nightmare?"
After so many years, Ye Qingming had already forgotten about his childhood. He was like a spectator as he walked up and smiled: "Maybe it is, but I really can't remember. But look at this book. It's so scary, it's possible for a child to have nightmares. "
At the bottom of the page, several words were written crookedly in pencil: "Qiongqi [1], had a dream."
Perhaps it was because he could not write the word "nightmare", but he could only use pinyin instead.
Lin Qingrou couldn't help but touch the words on the page with her hand, and said a little regretfully, "When you were so young, did your family let you read books that are so hard to understand?"
Ye Qingming did not know why, but he revealed a bitter expression and said while holding the book: "Maybe. After all, he is a boy. So there is nothing he doesn't care for. But I think it's always right to read it. When I was a kid, I really hated it when my grandfather kept showing me words and sentences that I didn't recognize at all. Sometimes, after reading it a few times, I still can't understand it even after trying a few times. "
"But later on, it was only when I was in middle school and started learning a lot of ancient and Chinese languages that I learned that the things I learned in school were so easy compared to the books I read when I was young. So I can remember almost all the ancient texts, but they're in my head. "
Lin Qingrou was suddenly enlightened. As she looked at Ye Qingming, she suddenly thought of a young boy who sat in front of a desk, looking at those obscure sentences over and over again, trying his best to understand them and memorize them.
How could there be a genius in this world? It was just that they had been working harder than others from the start.
Ye Qingming smiled, "What, what are you thinking?"
Lin Qingrou came back to her senses and smiled. "Nothing much, just interesting."
Ye Qingming put down the book and the two of them laid on the bed. He continued, "If I have children in the future, I will definitely not let them be like me."
Lin Qingrou unknowingly asked, "Isn't it good to be like you?"
"If he was like me in his childhood, it wouldn't be too bad."
"But after you left your childhood, your studies after school had always been affected and had always been helpful. That's the truth."
"It's true, but I'm not happy in this life at all. From the very beginning, it seems to be different from the others. "
Lin Qingrou had always thought that even though Ye Qingming had lost his parents, he had still grown up under the care and care of his elder sister and brother.
Finally, he said, "Children shouldn't feel any pressure. They should grow up happily."
Lin Man Rou said, "But now, the pressure is too great. If you are not careful, you will be left behind. "Who would make their child become a resident of the human race, would you?"
Ye Qingming shook his head, "How could that be possible? Even if our children don't work hard, they won't be subservient to others."
Lin Qingrou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why didn't I realize before, you really know how to boast."
Ye Qingming couldn't help but laugh, "I was just joking, I was just joking."
After chatting for a while, both of them felt sleepy.
It was unknown when Ye Qingming had started to fall asleep. Lin Qingrou knew that he hadn't slept well since last night. Today, he had been busy all day, so he was probably tired. At this moment, she turned off the lamp with a gentle hand. Just as she was about to sleep, she suddenly felt Ye Qingming's vague words, "A nightmare, I can't have nightmares anymore, I can't."
Lin Qingrou was stunned for a moment. Then, she slowly turned around and looked at Ye Qingming's face under the dim light of the night. There was actually a bitter taste in his heart. When she saw that he was probably really asleep, she reached out and gently stroked the contours of his face, as if trying to find the tracks he had experienced in his life.
She had once thought that he was different from her, that he was carefree and that he was not from the same world as her. But now, she seemed to think that her judgement was wrong. She had no idea what was wrong. Perhaps the closer one's relationship was, the more one could clearly see a person's true inner self. Thus, the more one could see where his weakness was and where his vital points were.
Lin Qingrou knew that her path wasn't easy. The worst case scenario was already brewing. She wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. She knew that from the moment she fell in love with Ye Qingming, she was destined to destroy the softest part of her heart.
She wasn't willing, but there was no other way.
The night was silent, and even the only light had become faint. Lin Qingrou could only say "I'm sorry" to Ye Qingming in this endless night. She had no other choice. The pace of her revenge had long since forced her to the end. She could not refuse. She had to continue.
When the first rays of sunlight shone onto the bed, Lin Qingrou subconsciously wanted to wake Ye Qingming up. However, when he stretched out his hand, he discovered that his body was completely empty. He had already woken up.
It was unknown whether it was because she was woken up by the sunlight or because Ye Qingming didn't have to go to work today, but she seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today. After putting on his robe and coming out of the bedroom, he went around looking for him. When she saw him busy in the kitchen, she took advantage of his inattentiveness and covered his eyes with her hands. She then asked in a rough voice, "Who do you think I am?"
At first, Ye Qingming was really scared by her, but he quickly changed his mind and smiled: "Let me guess, could it be that Qiong Qi has been revived and wants to eat people?"
Lin Man gently let go of her hand and looked at Ye Qingming who was turning around. She said happily, "You're the one who is poor. It's so ugly, so ugly that it scared you to the point you had a nightmare. Do I have to think of it as ugly for him?"
Ye Qingming smiled and flicked his finger at her forehead. He then took a small piece of apple and stuffed it into her mouth and said, "It's not normal, it's weird. Why are you so happy today?" Something strange has happened. "
Lin Manshou pouted, and finished a piece of apple. "I found your secret, so I found it interesting," she said. They think we're all the same. "
Ye Qingming asked curiously, "What secret?"
Lin Qingrou shook her head, at first she was unwilling to speak. However, how could Ye Qingming let her go? The two of them chatted and messed around in the kitchen, almost knocking out their food.
When Ye Qingming saw that he had grabbed her arm, he did not use much strength to pull her into his embrace and asked, "Now you're willing to speak? What exactly is it? "
Lin Manrou realized that she did not occupy the top spot, and she finally let out a laugh, "So it turns out that you have the courage to act like a child when you're young."
"Then why do you say you're finally the same as me?"
"I was just saying. You hurt me, my arm. "
Seeing this, Ye Qingming was finally willing to let go of her. He only saw her frowning as she rubbed her wrist and snappily said, "You don't know anything about being protective of women. If your child is like you in the future, I'll really be out of luck."
Ye Qingming knew that she was joking, so he followed her into the living room and took the opportunity to ask, "So, you're willing to have children?"
Lin Qingrou was stunned. She turned her back to Ye Qingming and stuttered, "No, I still don't want children. Didn't you already mention the child last time? You always want to bring it up."
Ye Qingming seemed to have expected this outcome. Seeing this, he could only say: "Okay, then we'll talk next time."
Lin Qingrou nodded, not knowing what else to say. But what could she say when the words reached her lips?
The atmosphere seemed to have calmed down. Lin Man and Ye Qingming continued to eat in silence. Beneath their seemingly peaceful appearances, there seemed to be countless undercurrents flowing from time to time.
After a hasty breakfast, Lin Qingrou said to Ye Qingming, "I'm afraid I'll be back a little later today."
Ye Qingming nodded and hesitated to speak.
When Cheng Yun arrived, Lin Qingrou was already waiting downstairs. She hurried into the car, not daring to look up. Perhaps she knew that Ye Qingming was looking at her, or perhaps she didn't want to be reminded of that room. In short, she only wanted to escape for a minute at this time.
Seeing that her mind was wandering around, Cheng Yun could not help but ask, "Is there something wrong with your family? If there's anything you need, you don't have to go. "
Lin Qingrou replied, "No, no, no, I'm fine. I'm just a little distracted."
However, her actions only caused Cheng Yun to be even more suspicious. However, after a moment, because of Cheng Yun's hesitation to drive, he didn't ask anymore.
Lin Qingrou sat in the car and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of going to a sanatorium? I've never heard you mention it before."
Cheng Yun said, "Last week, my mom told me to go take a look, but I was so busy that I forgot about it."
"What have you been busy with recently?" Lin Manmei asked.
Cheng Yun said with a smile, "Now we can finally liberate ourselves. We've finally completed the last project." Fortunately, it's almost the new year, so Boss didn't press us any further. "
Lin Manshui smiled, and suddenly realized that it was indeed going to be a new year soon. He suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
"I saw that you were in a bad mood today. Did you quarrel?"
"No, really." She seemed to be forcing a smile.
After Lin Qingrou finished speaking, she thought for a moment before asking, "I have a question to ask you."
Cheng Yun nodded.
Lin Manrou thought for a moment and recalled what Shen Lei said that day. She said to Cheng Yun, "Encrypting programs is very troublesome. If you don't know the password, what can you do to unlock it?"
Cheng Yun thought for a moment and curiously asked, "Why are you asking this? Are there any documents that can't be opened?"
Lin Qingrou shook her head, avoiding the issue and said softly, "No, I just wanted to ask you. Tell me, I want to hear it too. "
Cheng Yun gave it some thought and then said, "This kind of document is indeed not easy to solve. If the intermediate procedure is very complicated, then I'm afraid the one who designed the program could only resolve it."
Lin Qingrou's heart sank as she asked, "In other words, under extremely complicated circumstances, only the original creator could solve this problem?"
Cheng Yun nodded his head, curious as to why Lin Qingrou was asking him this question.
Lin Qingrou quickly changed the topic and started to chat with him again, afraid that he would ask about something else.
Not long later, the car came to a stop in the sanatorium's parking lot. Cheng Yun took out a bunch of small and large things. Lin Qingrou then remembered that she didn't bring anything else for her aunt.
Cheng Yun said with a smile, "I know you're busy. I've already brought your share."
Lin Manrou smiled with him, but she still blamed herself.
As the two of them passed the nurse station, Cheng Yun took the opportunity to find the nurse who was taking care of Aunt. He asked, "We haven't been here for a long time. How is she recently?"
The nurse smiled, as if everything was normal, "He is still the same, not talking, occasionally writing, occasionally looking out the window. It wasn't noisy, but it never smiled. Just sitting there alone. "
Lin Qingrou asked again, "What about food? Is her appetite good? "
The nurse led them to the room and sighed. "It's okay. I just eat less sometimes."
"When?"
"It's about March or April every year, maybe because of the season change, and she always eats a little less. "He doesn't seem to have any appetite at all."
Lin Qingrou was a little worried, but she couldn't find out any more from her aunt.
The three of them opened the door and walked in. Lin Qingrou saw them sitting in a corner, staring at her aunt outside the window.
However, outside the window, there was an empty garden. At this moment, the flowers had all fallen and the leaves were all over the ground. There was no longer the beautiful scenery of spring or summer.
Aunt did not seem to find it annoying, nor did she get tired of it. There was a spring to summer, and from morning to night, she would look at it this way.
Cheng Yun stepped forward and whispered to her, "Aunt, I and Manou are here. What do you want to eat? I bought a lot of food. "
Lin Qingrou watched from behind, wondering if Cheng Yun's words would cause her to react. However, after a while, my aunt remained indifferent and continued to stare blankly at the window.
Lin Qingrou stepped forward and said to Cheng Yun, "Let's tidy up the room first. We'll talk about this later when it's time for lunch."
Seeing this, Cheng Yun could only agree and help Lin Qingrou pack up.
Fortunately, the room was clean, so she took off her coat and cleaned up the room with Cheng Yun.
Cheng Yun stood up to boil some water, then handed Lin Qingrou a cloth. "The cabinet in the corner hasn't been wiped yet."
Lin Qingrou wiped the cloth and looked at the cabinet. Only then did she remember that it was the one my aunt had been using since she was hospitalized. So many years had passed, and he was still the same as when he had first brought it over.
She opened the cabinet door and was about to take out the books and notebooks inside to wipe them off when she saw her aunt suddenly standing up and glaring at Lin Manchu's hand.
Lin Qingrou didn't know why, but it was only after Cheng Yun came back and received his reminder that she was looking at the books and notebooks in her hands.
She suddenly rushed forward and snatched the stack of notebooks from Lin Manchu's hands before hugging them tightly.
With a "pa" sound, another book fell on the ground.
Lin Qingrou subconsciously picked it up, but unexpectedly, she almost simultaneously used her shoulder to push Lin Qingrou away, causing her to frantically hold the laptop in her arms.
Lin Qingrou looked at her in surprise, thinking that she was mistaken.
Seeing this, Cheng Yun hurriedly helped his aunt to sit on the bed and then turned to look at Lin Qingrou.
"Are you alright? I see you were pushed by her and hit the corner of the table? "
Lin Manrou realized that she had bumped into the corner of the table when he reminded her. She felt a dull pain on her waist. If she hadn't felt it before, she would have felt it even more now when she was thinking about it wholeheartedly.
