Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C37
On the day of the party, Ye Qingming arrived at Lin Qingrou’s house early in the morning. He probably knew that it was very slow for girls to change their clothes in makeup, so he silently read a book by himself.
She had thought that this would be an ordinary gathering, and she had never cared about appearances. However, after seeing Ye Qingming in a suit and leather shoes, she had no choice but to dress up. She stood in front of the wardrobe and awkwardly chose it for a while. In the end, she tried changing it left and right, but she still chose the first dress and the long windbreaker.
Lin Man gently looked at herself in the mirror. Originally, she was not that beautiful, but fortunately, she had inherited the good genes from her family. She was tall and slender, and her skin was fair and clean.
“I’ve arranged everything. Let’s go.” Lin Manrou said as she walked out of the bedroom.
Ye Qingming put down the book and looked up at her. But he didn’t say anything. He just stood up and helped her button up her coat a bit, while buttoning it he said, “Why is your neck all exposed, is it cold?” Are these skirts short? Will you catch a cold? ”
Lin Qingrou explained helplessly, “How can the buttons on this coat be so strong? Shall I have another scarf? ”
Ye Qingming had an idea, “Do you have a scarf? Do you want me to bring it? ” Lin Qingrou was infuriated, so she rolled her eyes and put on her high heels before leaving.
The two of them chatted and laughed along the way, but they didn’t think that by the time they arrived at the restaurant, everyone had already arrived. Lin Qingrou looked around as soon as she entered the door and saw three men and a woman sitting together.
Ye Qingming said apologetically, “Sorry everyone. There was a traffic jam at this time of day. It’s already not bad to be here.”
Seeing that Ye Qingming had arrived, everyone started to heckle him. At this moment, a man with a crew cut laughed, “It doesn’t matter if you are late. You just need to drink three glasses of wine later!”
Next, a chubby boy looked at Lin Manmei and asked, “This is?”
Ye Qingming sat down with Lin Manrou and said with a smile, “My girlfriend is about to get married.”
When the crowd heard this, the ambiguous tone immediately exploded again.
Lin Qingrou waited until everyone had calmed down before she greeted them quietly. Then, they could be considered acquaintances.
Ye Qingming took off his suit jacket and handed it over to Lin Qingrou when no one was looking.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Ye Qingming looked at her legs.
Lin Qingrou suddenly realized that he wanted her to use his clothes to cover her legs. However, although she felt a bit embarrassed, she felt embarrassed when she saw that the room was full of cold air, so she took it and gently put it on her leg.
The moment her legs were covered, Lin Qingrou suddenly felt a surge of warmth from her heart. The warmth came from Ye Qingming’s body, like the first ray of sunlight in winter, enveloping her body. Slowly, a familiar smell drifted to Lin Qingrou’s side — it was the smell of Ye Qingming’s clothes. It seemed to be the smell of disinfectant mixed with tobacco. Lin Qingrou could not help but touch it with her hands. The fabric was silky and soft, extremely comfortable.
“It’s more comfortable than style. It looks good in anything.” This suited Ye Qingming’s style of dressing.
“Ye Qingming, you’re really slow. Fatty got married the year before last. My children have already given birth to a second child this year, so why aren’t you married yet? ” Zhao Wei, who was wearing black-framed glasses, asked.
Ye Qingming smiled and did not argue. He looked at Lin Qingrou and said, “Don’t worry. Maybe it’ll be best if we keep it at the end.”
At this moment, the “Fatty” Wu Tianming, who looked like Zhou Xiaowu, said, “Ye Qingming knows this very well. Unlike you, you always play the guitar downstairs in the girls’ dormitory.”
Du Yiyi, the short-haired girl, said, “I can prove this! “Absolutely.”
Zhao Wei looked at Wu Tianming in annoyance, then asked Du Yiyi, “What about you? I hear you’ve been studying in the United States for the past few years? ”
Du Yi Yi nodded, and then said in satisfaction, “But we’re not planning to leave this time after returning! I’m getting married too. ”
Wu Tianming jeered, “Quickly tell me who? Was it our university classmate? ”
Du Yiyi mysteriously smiled. “They’re our alumni. However, we can’t tell you the specifics now!”
As Ye Qingming watched them talk, he was also afraid that Lin Qingrou might feel that something was off, so he took the initiative to give her some food. In the end, it only took a short while for all sorts of delicate dishes to pile up on Lin Qingrou’s plate.
At first, no one noticed it, but when Zhou Yuan, who was sitting next to Lin Qingrou, saw it, he said in shock, “Look and see. What is called love and love, they all learned from Ye Qingming.”
At this moment, Du Yiyi spoke with dissatisfaction, “Ye Qingming, can’t you just stop showing your love in front of us single dogs?”
Upon seeing this, Wu Tianming and Zhao Wei waved their hands and said, “We’re not single dogs.”
Lin Qingrou had been eating quietly all this while. She didn’t expect everyone’s eyes to be focused on her. She actually accidentally choked on the food.
As Ye Qingming handed her water, he said to Zhou Yuan, “Alright, you guys. You should eat and drink. We’ll eat and drink.”
Lin Manrou gave him an embarrassed smile, feeling a bit apologetic in her heart. However, Ye Qingming didn’t care about it at all. He just smiled and shook his head to reassure her, then he suddenly rubbed her hair.
His actions caused Lin Qingrou to freeze. She suddenly tensed up, feeling like her choking had gotten even worse.
Halfway through the banquet, Du Yiyi and Lin Qingrou went to the bathroom.
Du Yiyi mended her makeup as she chatted with Lin Manshui, “Are you a reporter? I’ve wanted to be a journalist since I was a kid and uncover the dark side of a corrupt society. I didn’t expect to get admitted into medical school in the end. ”
Lin Manshou smiled, “But not everyone can become a doctor. I remember many people wanting to take the college entrance exam but couldn’t.”
Du Yiyi laughed, “That’s true. Those with high marks do, tsk tsk tsk. “However, how did you and Ye Qingming get to know each other?”
“Matchmaking,” said Lin.
Du Yiyi was surprised, “Ye Qing will go on a blind date?!” Big news. But really, you have to hold on to him. He’s nice, almost perfect. “I don’t want that girl from my family. She’s so desperate and flowery, and now that I don’t know which little girl she flirted with when I wasn’t around these past few years …”
The more Du Yiyi spoke, the angrier she got. She even forgot to accept the pancakes. She seemed to remember that her boyfriend had a lot to complain about.
When the two of them returned to the private room, they saw Wu Tianming blushing excitedly, “Everyone, how about we go to my uncle’s Ancient City Watertown Resort this weekend? Bring your families, I’ll treat them! ”
Zhao Wei was the first to raise both hands in approval.
Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers. “As long as the hospital is not in an emergency room, you can call for him anytime.”
Du Yi Yi thought for a moment and was about to speak, but Wu Tianming immediately said to her, “Remember to bring your boyfriend, but let’s see who the learning committee member found in the end.”
Du Yi Yi gritted her teeth and agreed.
Everyone looked at Ye Qingming.
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou helplessly, wondering if she would go.
Zhao Wei suddenly said, “Let’s go. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. We were just in time to see if Du Yiyi’s boyfriend has three heads and six arms.” When Du Yiyi heard this, she poked Zhao Wei.
Wu Tianming sincerely said, “Sister-in-law, although you are young, Ye Qingming is one year older than me, so I called you Sister-in-law.” “Now that we’re so busy at work, this time we know that Du Yi Yi has returned to China. It wasn’t easy for us to get together, so take a look …”
Lin Qingrou’s heart was in turmoil. Although she didn’t like group activities, she could only agree now that everyone was looking at her with such an urgent expression. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too much of a disgrace to others?
Wu Tianming was completely relieved. He clapped his hands and announced, “Next, I declare that this weekend’s ancient town journey is complete!”
Returning from the hotel, Lin Qingrou did not know if Ye Qingming was drunk. She could not help but ask, “Are you drunk?”
Ye Qingming unbuttoned his shirt and sat on the sofa, saying, “Of course not. Although I don’t usually drink, I still have some tolerance for alcohol.”
Lin Qingrou nodded in relief, “That’s good.”
She got up and poured him a cup of honey water and watched him drink it.
Ye Qingming asked, “If you don’t want to go, you can go.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him, teasing, “Do you want me to go?”
Ye Qingming could not help but smile. He held onto Lin Qingrou’s sleeve in a daze and said, “Of course I hope you can go. But if there’s anything you need, you can also go.”
Lin Manrou thought for a moment, then said, “If you don’t mind, I’d better not go. If I’m there, I don’t think it’s convenient for you to talk.” Furthermore, I am not very familiar with them. ”
Ye Qingming nodded. Without replying to Lin Qingrou’s words, he fell into a deep sleep.
