There was light in those eyes, as if they were brighter than usual.
The two were so close that Li Che could see the hazy reflection of his own silhouette in the other's eyes.
With a face as calm as water, he stretched out his hand and pushed her head down.
"Look ahead and keep driving."
Ye Yuqing hesitated for a few seconds, then said "Oh" in a low voice,
Sighing inwardly, he started the car again.
She was a little aggrieved, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Even if it is a rejection, at least give an answer! Forget it, if it's a refusal, it's better not to say it.
"Are you an ice cube at minus twenty degrees in the refrigerator?" Ye Yuqing muttered softly.
Li Che only heard a few words clearly, but easily guessed the whole sentence.
The corners of his mouth softened a lot, and he asked, "You're talking nonsense again, what have you been thinking about all day?"
"I usually think a lot, but now all I think about is you." Ye Yuqing finished speaking in one breath, her heart beating fast.
She concentrated on looking ahead, not daring to look at the other person's expression.
"Then you should pay more attention to driving. If I die now, the follow-up will be very troublesome." Li Che snorted lightly, with a relaxed tone.
"Oh… "
Three minutes later.
Li Che: "I told you to drive seriously, but I didn't tell you to drive slowly. Are you going to run over all the ants on the road to death?"
"Don't rush me, I'm just...a little nervous."
"Afraid to drive?"
"No, it's because you're sitting next to me that you're nervous."
"..."
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Ye Yuqing pursed her lower lip and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Pu Yue Hotel."
Ye Yuqing was startled, this is the hotel where she met Li Che last time.
She was a little puzzled, does this guy live in a hotel every day
The unit price of that hotel is more than 1,000...
No wonder I still come out to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the usual consumption is a bit high. If you can make money, you can spend more.
Ye Yuqing gradually drove smoothly, and finally dared to run more than 60 yards.
Twenty minutes later, the car parked in the hotel's underground parking lot.
Ye Yuqing loosened her seat belt, turned her face sideways: "That...you haven't thought about it yet?"
Li Che's eyebrows twitched: "Do you know what you're talking about? Little brat."
"I know, I've been an adult for a long time!" Ye Yuqing said loudly.
"Are you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Ye Yuqing shook her head: "I'm very shrewd!"
Li Che: "Then you're hiding something deep."
"..."
Ye Yuqing snorted, if she wanted to lie, she would have done so long ago, why is it so difficult to make an appointment.
She intuitively felt that the other party was a good person.
The opportunity to meet is very important.
If she hadn't been cheated on, she probably wouldn't have held her breath and chased someone so boldly.
If it wasn't for them meeting again later, maybe he would quickly give up the idea.
She is almost twenty-five years old, which is a dividing line. After this year, she will be closer to "thirty".
For me who has followed the rules since I was a child, this is a belated rebellion.
"You don't need to slander yourself." Ye Yuqing took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, maybe you haven't thought it through yet, then let me know when you think it over."
Taking a step back, even Xiao Yao said that Jason has a good character.
Li Che pressed his eyelids down, and blinked after a few seconds, the red tear mole was charming and cold.
Ye Yuqing didn't dare to look any more, she looked away, confused by the beauty, and asked again: "Since everyone else can do it, why can't I?"
A smile floated on the corner of Li Che's mouth: "Okay, I'll think about it."
"This, this is very good." Ye Yuqing forced himself to calm down for a few seconds, and then said: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival then! I made mooncakes for you. The taste may not be very good, but the hygiene is absolutely fine, at least it won't spoil you. Eat into the hospital."
Li Che reached out and took it.
Partners have sent many mooncake gift boxes, but this is the first one he has received.
The outside is packed in a canvas bag, and the inside is a delicate box, which can be seen with great care.
Different from the hard paper packaging, there is a gentle temperature.
The anxiety in his heart today was calmed down.
Sure enough, is it easy to overthink the Mid-Autumn Festival
Ye Yuqing opened the car window and asked again: "Did you get a headache after drinking?"
"fine."
"Then you wait here, I'll be right back! Ten minutes at most!"
Ye Yuqing got out of the car after speaking, and disappeared like the wind.
Li Che checked the time on his phone, and at nine minutes and forty-five seconds, she appeared jogging.
Ye Yuqing's whole body became hot from running, her cheeks were also stained red, and her eyes were even more radiant.
She handed over the paper cup in her hand: "Drink it quickly, hot milk with a lot of ginger juice, it will be much better after drinking."
Li Che was slightly startled: "Where did you go just now?"
"This hotel is very close to my former company. I knew that there was a drink shop nearby that had delicious ginger milk, so I went to buy it."
The signboard design of the beverage store was done by her previous company. Ye Yuqing also helped with two strokes, and the shop owner said that she could get a 50% discount on future purchases.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry to run." Li Che lowered his eyes and took the paper cup from the opponent's hand.
"Brother, I'm afraid you won't wait for me!"
Li Che said calmly, "Don't do this in the future. I said I will definitely wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
"I see, then drink quickly."
Under her smiling gaze, Li Che opened the package and took a sip.
Probably because she had specially ordered it, so she could drink it with a strong taste of ginger.
Ye Yuqing leaned on the car window and asked again: "Jason, you will be staying in a hotel for the Mid-Autumn Festival today, so you don't have to spend time with your family?"
"No need." Li Che's voice was a little low.
"Me too! Are you free tomorrow? Since we don't go home, I can treat you to dinner together for the holiday."
The hot milk in his hand was still very hot, Li Che hesitated for two seconds: "Let's see, I may not have time."
"Then I'll go back first, you should rest early!"
Li Che: "Do you want me to deliver it?"
"No, it's delivered here and there. I'll take a taxi when I go out, and I'll be home in ten minutes. Go back to your room and rest." Ye Yuqing waved her hand after speaking.
Li Che didn't look away until the other party's back disappeared.
He bowed his head and took a second sip.
It's the first time to drink this kind of thing. It feels a little spicy in the throat, but it's a little sweet.
The pungentness rolls down from the throat to the stomach.
Li Che couldn't help but wonder, did she treat everyone like this
Are you not afraid of being cheated
It looks silly, but not too silly.
He hates having emotional connections with others, probably related to bad childhood memories.
That man married his mother, but was drinking and domesticating every day, and his mother was submissive, holding him who was still young and muttering to herself: How could he become like this? Why did I pay so much for him
He became very irritable after listening too much, leaving only indifference in his heart.
Therefore, the relationship of interests is the most stable, and at least one party will not ask "why are you like this" with a cold number.
It's ridiculous and pathetic, and it doesn't help.
It's just that when Li Che saw those eyes just now, he hesitated and felt compassion.
Probably because he was afraid that the other party would show disappointment, so he didn't say too much.
It's impossible for two people, but... It's good to be a casual friend, and watch her not to be deceived by others.
Although she can't bring considerable benefits to herself.
——
Ye Yuqing went to wash up when she got home, and when she looked in the mirror, she realized that she bit her lip because of nervousness, and there was no lipstick left.
... Forget it, don't care about these details.
I am very happy to see him today, and the two talked a lot!
This is great progress!
The good mood lasted until her cell phone rang.
The call was from her grandfather.
Ye Yuqing had already called the two old people in the morning, thinking that maybe the elders wanted to chat with her, so she answered the phone with a smile.
"Grandpa, good evening, what are you doing?"
"Yuqing, I'm eating at your father's place today, you can talk to him during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Ye Yuqing was startled, and realized that the speaker should be turned on.
She said hello unnaturally: "Aunt Zhao, dad, grandma."
Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, maybe they specially took the elderly to celebrate the festival together.
When Ye Yuqing was less than one year old, her parents divorced, her mother left, and her father remarried six months later.
She grew up with her grandparents, and she is not familiar with her father's new family.
"Yuqing, if you don't go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, then won't you come back for the National Day?" A brisk female voice rang through the phone.
"I'll be back when I have time."
Ye Yuqing lowered her gaze.
Zhao Yanyan was his father's second wife, and they had a pair of children after their marriage.
Her father reorganized the family, and almost never asked about her, the first-married daughter, but Ye Yuqing followed her grandparents and didn't care too much.
She thinks that's fine too.
"If you want to come back, bring Ye Xi back with you. You happen to be in a city. Your younger brother is only going to college this year. He doesn't want to go home during the holidays. It doesn't matter how much your father and I miss him." The woman complained melancholy. .
Ye Yuqing hesitated for two seconds, then said in a low voice, "But he doesn't want to, and I can't help it."
Zhao Yanyan didn't take it seriously: "You can go to school to find him, your brother is spoiled by us, he can't wash his socks and shoes by himself, if you have time, go and wash him for him, your father and I will take care of him at home, now he Outside, you, a sister, need to pay more attention."
"I... I'll watch it when I have time, but I've been a little busy recently."
"You are asking too much, she usually has to work!" In the background sound, the old man said dissatisfied.
"Hey, if I were here, I would definitely wash it myself..." Zhao Yanyan retorted in a low voice.
——
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yuqing looked at the darkened screen and sighed.
She wasn't that close to herself until college.
Ye Yuqing's university tuition fee was paid by loan for the first year, and then she earned it by herself.
After all, grandparents are old, and she is not willing to let them work hard.
She studied in the city in high school, and her grandparents lived in the county, so she set up a boarding house at the school.
In the autumn of the second year of high school, there happened to be a bumper harvest in the orchard, and there was not enough manpower. Grandma didn't have time to deposit money in the bank, so she asked Ye Yuqing to go get it from her father, and then make up for it by herself.
Her monthly living expenses are 600 yuan, and at the beginning of the month, grandma will deposit them in the bank, and she takes the card to withdraw.
At that time Ye Yuqing hesitated again and again, but went anyway.
That was the first time she stepped into her father's house.
The house with four bedrooms and one living room is beautifully decorated, with wallpaper on the walls and a piano in the living room.
Only my father's remarried wife was in the house that day.
Seeing Ye Yuqing's eyes fixed on the piano, Zhao Yanyan smiled and said, "Ye Chenyue is learning the piano, and it costs 4,000 yuan a month. Ye Xicai has signed up for Taekwondo, and it costs a lot. I really need money everywhere."
"Just look at it, don't touch it, Chenyue doesn't like others touching her things, you wait for me, I'll get you money."
Before anyone could come out, Ye Yuqing left.
After that, she never went again.
Zhao Yanyan didn't mention this matter, Ye Yuqing spent a month with the two hundred yuan she had saved.
When she was in high school, the art teacher said that she had a good sense of color in painting, and advised her to take the art test.
When I knew she had given up, I still felt sorry.
Ye Yuqing seriously considered that it would cost an extra three thousand per semester to study fine arts, which was too expensive.
When she saw the piano, she felt very complicated.
After studying in college, she spent her own money to learn hand-painting, and finally got her wish.
Ye Xi and Ye Chenyue have always received elite education, and their parents spent money to attend various training courses and invited famous teachers to teach them. Ye Chenyue took the art test at the age of sixteen, and she went to the university in the same year. Ye Xi's university entrance exam this year is also good, and she must have a bright future in the future.
But none of this has anything to do with her.
Ye Yuqing sighed. Friends around her said she had a good temper, probably because she grew up in a gentle environment, which is why she was like this.
In fact, people who have no support will have a good temper.
Because I know there is no way out.
Ye Yuqing's grandparents treated her very well.
When I was a child, every time my grandma went to weddings and weddings, she would bring back candy drinks for her.
Grandpa would trot to school early in the morning to give her the homework she had forgotten.
But her grandparents are also the grandparents of Ye Xi and Ye Chenyue.
The brother and sister are usually in the city, and they only come to the orchard for a short stay during holidays.
It is also a grandson, because it is rare, the elders naturally follow everything.
He also told Ye Yuqing that you are the older sister who has to take care of your younger siblings, so don't compete with them.
Ye Yuqing was young at the time, so she was inevitably a little disappointed. Her younger siblings had parents, grandparents, and grandparents, but she only had grandparents.
But in order to make it easy for the elders, I still try my best to let it go.
When Ye Yuqing was in the first year of middle school, Ye Xi was eight years old.
The other party tore up her homework that day, and she questioned her angrily.
But Ye Xi smiled innocently: "So what, grandparents love me more, and from now on you will not only have no parents, but you will not even have grandparents."
This sentence was very heart-wrenching, and Ye Yuqing had no words to refute.
In the future, she will not argue with them, and will take the initiative to back down.
At that time, she wished that she had a brother.
Ye Yuqing closed her eyes, calmed down for a while, and then opened WeChat.
"Are you free to have dinner with me tomorrow?"
She hadn't hoped for it, she just wanted to divert attention.
Unexpectedly, in less than a minute, there was a reply to the message.
"I have time in the afternoon."
In an instant, the haze in Ye Yuqing's heart disappeared, and she bowed her head to type.
"Really? Then I'll send you the address tomorrow! Don't go back on your word! Don't release pigeons!"
Li Che couldn't help smiling when he saw the reply.
The phone vibrated, and the other party sent another WeChat message.
"Jason good night~"
Li Che hesitated for a second, and replied: Don't call me jason again.
After all, it's someone else's name, which sounds weird.
Ye Yuqing was startled, could this be her stage name? That called jason was a little too distant for that.
How can I call my future boyfriend by his stage name
"Brother Li Che, good night~"
Seeing the new news, the smile on the corner of Li Che's mouth could not be suppressed, and he finally let out a laugh.
