Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C64
Before Lin Manshou and Ye Qingming’s honeymoon, Ye Qingming suddenly mentioned that he wanted to bring Lin Manshou to his parents’ tomb to worship. Lin Qingrou agreed without hesitation. The two of them ate breakfast early the next morning and hurried to the Ye Family’s tomb.
Lin Manshou got out of the car and looked around. This should be another cemetery in S City. And the Ye Family’s tomb was the best location with the largest area.
Ye Qing placed a bunch of hydrangeas in his hands in front of his parents’ tombstone. He then looked at their portrait and pulled Lin Manmei’s hand and said, “Dad, mom, I’m finally married. If you guys can see it, you should be able to relax.”
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Qingrou before continuing, “She’s a very nice girl by herself, but I don’t know what to think about her at all. But don’t worry, we will definitely live a good life.”
Lin Qingrou looked quietly at Ye Qingming. Even though he was wearing sunglasses right now, she could still see the look of regret and disappointment on his face.
Lin Qingrou clearly knew that this was an expression that would appear on the faces of any child who had lost their parents.
Lin Qingrou walked up and offered some incense sticks to Ye Qingming’s parents. Then she pinched his shoulder.
“Even if they found out about it in heaven, they would still be sad if they found out about it.”
Ye Qingming looked at her and couldn’t help but say, “Although my impression of my parents isn’t as deep as my eldest brother’s and elder sister’s, to be honest, this feeling of losing them all … It’s hard to bear. It’s impossible to describe in any language. ”
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, the autumn wind began to blow, and leaves began to fall from all directions.
Lin Qingrou watched as a leaf from a ginkgo tree gently fell on his shoulder, not making a sound. She wanted to tell him that she had experienced this kind of excruciating pain before. On the contrary, she hated everyone in the Ye Family because she had experienced it before!
But now that she couldn’t say what she really felt, she could only offer him some small consolation.
Ye Qingming held her hand tightly, took a deep breath, and looked at the sky. He then looked at the tombstone longingly for a while, before turning his head towards Lin Qingrou and said, “The wind has started to blow, let’s go back.”
Lin Qingrou nodded. She looked at the tombstone silently and sighed inwardly. As the autumn wind blew, the flowers in front of the tombstone were scattered about by the wind. Lin Qingrou followed behind Ye Qingming. Before she left, she looked back at the tombstone again and couldn’t help but frown.
“What are you looking at?”
“Oh, nothing.”
When the two returned home, it was still early. Ye Qingming went to the study room to find two books and put them in his luggage. Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but to ask, “It wasn’t easy to get on vacation, do you still want to take these books with you?”
Ye Qingming stood in front of the luggage and smiled. He said, “Recently, there was a rather troublesome patient who was transferred from the outer court. According to the plan, I was supposed to perform surgery on her after work, so I’ll look up some information first and then come up with a plan with the other doctors when I go to work. ”
Lin Qingrou was curious about Ye Qingming’s current work. She then asked, “What disease is she suffering from? Is it serious? ”
Ye Qingming sighed, he sat beside Lin Qingrou and said rather regretfully, “She’s just in her early 20s. She should have gone to university and talked about friends with me, but who would have thought that she accidentally fell during the start of the year and discovered the tumor on her arm during her mid-year medical examination. However, the nature of the tumor has yet to be determined. If it is benign, it could be better. But if it is malignant, then it needs to be treated with chemotherapy. ”
Lin Qingrou shivered at the word chemotherapy. She shook her head and said from the bottom of her heart, “I hope it’s not malignant. If it’s really like that, then it’s really too hard to bear.” She also had that kind of age, and she had walked step by step from that kind of age before. That was why he knew how precious those good times were, and why he didn’t want a young girl to suffer in such a beautiful time.
Ye Qingming seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. He held her in his arms and comforted her, “I will do my best to cure her. Every patient is the same in front of me.”
Lin Qingrou asked softly, “What’s the worst case scenario?”
Ye Qingming paused for a moment. After pondering for a while, he finally said, “Amputation.”
“Oh.”
At this moment, although she only responded indifferently, her mind was already in turmoil. She didn’t know what to feel.
Ye Qingming felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known earlier, he shouldn’t have said these things to her. After all, they had seen such cruel things too often in the hospital, so they didn’t think much of it. However, to ordinary people, although this was the truth, it was a bit too cruel.
Ye Qingming sat beside her for a while. Seeing that she was slowly becoming silent, he asked, “Did you fall asleep?”
Lowering his head, he saw that she had indeed fallen asleep within his embrace. He smiled. It was probably because she woke up too early in the morning to go to the cemetery, which was why she was so tired right now.
Ye Qingming slowly got up and gently carried Lin Qingrou onto the bed. He was about to reach for the blanket when he saw a exposed patch of skin in the open collar of her nightgown. He didn’t know what it was at first, but he could just make out a pink mark on her skin in an irregular and uneven way.
But then, as he drew closer, he could see that her scar extended from her shoulder all the way to her chest.
At this moment, Lin Qingrou’s sleepiness had passed. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Ye Qingming staring at her chest.
She stood up and quickly pulled the blanket up to her chest, looking at him warily.
Ye Qingming came back to his senses. Only then did he slowly ask, “I saw the scars on your body, that’s why …”
Lin Qingrou realized that her actions and attitude didn’t seem to be appropriate. It seemed that she had subconsciously expressed her distrust towards Ye Qingming and that there was still a gap between the two of them.
Lin Qingrou seemed to have let down her guard. After she put down the blanket, she said, “This was what I did when I was young. Because it was too small, I have no impression of it. It’s just that when I grow up, I know that this place has a very long scar. ”
Her expression did her best to maintain her calmness and indifference, but Ye Qingming still felt a bit of heartache when he saw it. He finally understood. “So you didn’t want me to go with you and try on a wedding dress, and chose one like that at the wedding, did you?”
Lin Qingrou hugged her knees beside the bed and nodded.
Ye Qingming could not bear to frown, but he immediately turned to Lin Qingrou and said, “It doesn’t matter, why do you have to care about this little scar? If you care about it, it will make you feel bad, but if you don’t care about it, it won’t be a problem. ”
Lin Qingrou looked at him and actually laughed. She said, “What you say makes sense, do I have to believe you?”
Ye Qingming nodded and said, “Of course, you have to believe me. Don’t tell me you still don’t believe me.”
At this time, she no longer had any wariness towards him. She only said indifferently, “Mm, of course I believe you.”
The two of them looked at each other as though they had a lot to say. However, as time passed, neither of them spoke first.
After a while, Lin Qingrou finally said, “I’m hungry.”
Ye Qingming smiled, “Perhaps my greatest use to you is being a chef.”
He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen. Lin Qingrou followed him, suddenly stopping him in his tracks. Ye Qingming turned around. He didn’t know what she wanted from him.
Lin Qingrou looked at him silently. In the end, Ye Qingming lost. He could not think of what she wanted to do, so he could only return and rub the top of her head as he always did, before gently saying, “If you are tired, just sleep for a while. If you make food, it will take at least an hour.”
But before he could finish, she had already reached out and wrapped her arms around his body. Then, she tiptoed over and whispered into his ear, “I don’t want to eat anymore.”
Ye Qingming was puzzled by her series of actions. He didn’t think much about it and asked, “Then what do you want to eat?”
Lin Qingrou looked at him with a smile. Her fingers moved from Ye Qingming’s neck to his shoulder, and then from his shoulder to his chest.
Ye Qingming suddenly let out a breath of air. He grabbed both of her wrists, but still asked with a smile, “Speak, what are you trying to do?”
Lin Qingrou smiled. The smile at the corner of her mouth was like a bewitching bewitching incense. She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, then said to him, “I don’t want anything else.”
She slightly raised her head and charmingly said to Ye Qingming, “But I want to eat …” “You.”
Ye Qingming suddenly felt as if all the organs in his body were surrounded by a rising fire. He exerted a little strength and pushed her down onto the bed.
Suddenly, she placed his chest against hers before turning her face away and saying, “I was just joking. Just tell me the truth.”
However, Ye Qingming could not tolerate her teasing him. He panted as he said to her, “You can just casually say that?”
Lin Qingrou only smiled foolishly. She felt that her silence was even more infuriating than what she was saying. Ye Qingming looked at her, gently kissing her lips while unbuttoning the nightgown in front of her chest with his other hand.
His lips, which had originally been cool, were growing hotter. Slowly, they moved from her neck to her chest. He slowly pulled his hand away, trying to turn on the bedside lamp.
Lin Qingrou instantly felt the dim light in the darkness. She quickly turned off the bedside lamp. He then whispered to Ye Qingming, “I don’t want to turn on the lights, don’t turn them on.”
Ye Qingming chuckled and lightly kissed the injured skin on her chest, “Then don’t open it.”
In the half-darkness, the movements of the two gradually turned from light to intense, and Ye Qingming also turned from gentle to rough. Lin Qingrou gasped from the pain, she groaned and said, “I don’t want to, I… “Can we not …” However, Ye Qingming acted as if he didn’t hear her at all. He hugged Lin Manshui and wished that he could rub her into his body.
Lin Qingrou felt as if her body no longer belonged to her. She endured the pain that came from all over her body, and even the sound of her breathing faded away.
Thus, after the two of them experienced several rounds of happiness, Ye Qingming slowly left her body. After calming down for a few seconds, he quietly turned on the bedside lamp. Suddenly, he saw a few drops of red on the bed.
Ye Qingming was at a loss. He didn’t know how to describe the feeling in his heart. Although he was surprised and pleasantly surprised, as if he had obtained some extremely genuine treasure, an extremely complex emotion gradually occupied his mind.
Lin Qingrou resisted the discomfort and said drowsily, “I want to take a bath.”
Only then did Ye Qingming react. He was suddenly at a loss of what to do. He hastily put on his own clothes, wrapped his nightgown around her and carried her to the bathroom in his bedroom.
A faint blush appeared on Lin Qingrou’s face. She said weakly, “You can do it yourself. You can leave first.”
Ye Qingming didn’t say anything and just glanced at her. Then, he quietly left the bathroom.
Seeing him leave, Lin Manrou lifted her head to open the shower, and in that instant, warm water flowed slowly over her head, shoulders, and body. Although she was exhausted and weak, she still let out a sigh. In an instant, she seemed to recall everything that had happened between Ye Qingming and herself.
She was in a trance now, as if everything that had just happened was in a dream. However, this dream was too realistic, allowing her to truly feel the pain and helplessness.
To be honest, Lin Qingrou did not intend to maintain her current body for the sake of Ye Qingming. Even when she faced him in person, she could only say that she had never thought about it. Even when she was in a relationship with Zhang Kaifeng, she had been forced by him several times, but she had never let him succeed. Maybe she didn’t like it enough, or maybe she couldn’t buy that card. In short, things had developed to this point.
After Lin Qingrou took a shower, she changed into a clean bathrobe and stood in front of the mirror. She used her hand to gently wipe away the steam on the mirror before finally seeing her reflection in the mirror. She slowly revealed a trace of a smile, but she did not know if it was sadness or helplessness. When she packed up and left the bathroom, she saw that Ye Qingming had quickly changed into a new bed sheet. However, Ye Qingming wasn’t in the bedroom at the moment.
Lin walked out of the bedroom. She thought he was in the study, but when she turned around, she found him standing on the balcony. Ye Qingming heard her footsteps. When he saw her walk over, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you come out? Didn’t you just take a bath?”
Lin Qingrou nodded, she was just curious why he was here. When Ye Qingming saw this, he quickly pulled her out from the balcony and closed the door.
“Are you smoking here?” she asked.
Ye Qingming didn’t say anything. He didn’t dare to look at her and only replied with a stutter. Lin Qingrou was such a sensitive person. She immediately noticed the change in Ye Qingming’s attitude and couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable. However, she still did not express anything. She only maintained the same silence as him, substituting silence for words.
That night, Lin Qingrou lay alone in bed. After reading for a while, she felt sleepy again. Just as she was about to sleep, Ye Qingming suddenly walked into the bedroom with difficulty, “The hospital just called me, saying that there’s something they want me to do.”
Lin Qingrou nodded. She didn’t think much of it, she just told him, “Then remember to come back early. We still need to go to the airport tomorrow morning.”
Ye Qingming nodded and left without a word.
When he left, she sat alone on the bed, feeling no sleep at all. His abnormal behavior made her uneasy and uncomfortable.
Lin Qingrou was alone at home. She didn’t want to go back to sleep, but if she did, it would be too late. She opened her phone in boredom and browsed through for a while. Suddenly, she saw the Wechat Moment that Xiao Chu was thinking about that day.
“I’m not in a good mood. I’ve been lovelorn recently.” Below were a few of her selfie photos.
Lin Qingrou glanced at it before flipping through it again. Looking at the recent developments of her friends, she sighed with emotion at how long it had been since she had sent a Wechat Moment. Just as she was staring blankly at the screen of her phone, a call suddenly came in.
She took a look and saw that it was Liu Yuxi.
After she answered, Liu Yuxi quickly said, “I’m not here to disturb you. I just want to ask, last time, when did you buy the medicine for my grandfather’s birthday?”
Lin Manshou recalled for a while and said, “I bought it from the United States when we were travelling together. What, do you want to buy it? I can get them to send it to you. ”
Liu Yuxi let out a sigh of relief, then said with a smile, “If it’s possible, that’s for the best. If that’s the case, then I will die first, and not disturb your sweet world of two! ”
Lin Qingrou didn’t say anything. She just quietly listened to the crackling sounds of the electricity on the other end of the phone.
Liu Yuxi suddenly felt that something is amiss, and tried asking, “What’s wrong? Why is there something wrong with the sound and there’s a quarrel? ”
Facing her most trusted friend, Lin Qingrou finally managed to voice out the doubts in her heart.
After Liu Yuxi finished listening, she sighed and said, “I bet Ye Qingming is in a completely stunned state right now, because he never expected you to be such a person. I guess his current state can’t be considered to be one of disappointment or disappointment, but it should be due to him having more feelings of confusion and depression. ”
Lin Qingrou did not understand, “Why is he so confused? This has nothing to do with him, it’s my personal life, is there a need for him to be so sensitive?”
Liu Yuxi retorted, “Tsk tsk tsk, you don’t understand. Men’s thoughts are very complicated, it’s not as simple as women’s. It’s just that they don’t want to show it most of the time. But now that Ye Qingming is in this state, I can only tell you what I want to say. In short, I can tell you, no matter what he’s doing, don’t be nervous and don’t ask him yourself. “Wait for him to figure this out, and after he’s finished digesting it, we’ll see how he reacts before we think about how we’re going to treat him!
“To sum it up in one sentence, it is Chairman Mao’s Sixteen Directions: Stop me from harming the enemy, focus on fighting the enemy, retreat the enemy if they charge, pursue the enemy if they retreat.”
Lin Qingrou listened for a long time, but she couldn’t figure out what was going on. However, she still remembered Liu Yuxi’s central thought: if we don’t move, then we should act accordingly.
