Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C65
The next morning, Ye Qingming woke up from his dormitory at the hospital. He looked at his watch sleepily and suddenly woke up. He looked at the ceiling, then at the furnishings around him, and realized he was in the hospital.
He washed his face, locked the dormitory door, and went to the parking lot to get his car. As he sat in the car, he took out his cell phone and checked it. There wasn’t a single missed call. He was puzzled. Wasn’t Lin Qingrou curious as to where he had gone? Was there any danger?!
However, he put down his phone with a wry smile. He knew that Lin Qingrou treated him with such an attitude. It was neither cold nor hot, neither deep nor shallow, as if it didn’t really matter if he was there or not.
Ye Qingming drove back home. He quietly opened the door and put on his shoes. Just as he walked into the living room and wanted to return to the study, he suddenly saw Lin Qingrou sleeping peacefully on the sofa.
He could not help but mutter under his breath, “Why are you sleeping here again?” Then he took a thick blanket from the bedroom and covered her with it.
Unexpectedly, his actions caused her to awaken. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “You’re back. What time is it now?”
Ye Qingming replied, “It’s just 6 o’clock, it’s still early. Go sleep a little more.”
Lin Qingrou shook her head, she folded the blanket and said to Ye Qingming, “You just came back? Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to make you something to eat? ”
Ye Qingming nodded and shook his head.
“It’s because I was busy too late at the hospital yesterday. I didn’t get back in time.” I didn’t expect you to wait for me here, so … “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, I just watched TV too late yesterday, so I fell asleep on the sofa. You don’t have to apologize. ”
Ye Qingming observed Lin Qingrou’s expression. Seeing that she didn’t seem to be forcing him, he felt slightly relieved.
Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming’s face out of the corner of his eyes. He seemed to have returned to his usual gentle and refined appearance. He was completely different from the person who had lost his soul last night. Did this mean that he had decided after much consideration?
However, she still could not be sure, so she casually said, “If the things in your hospital are very important, we can temporarily not travel. There are so many islands there, and the sea can’t wash away. ” With that, she looked at Ye Qingming and saw that he did not hesitate to tell her, “It’s alright. The hospital matters are almost done. I will leave it to them.”
Lin Qingrou smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, shouldn’t we make some preparations and set off?”
Ye Qingming looked at his watch. It seemed that it was almost time to leave. He said to her, “You can go and change. I will pack my luggage.”
As she spoke, she stood up and smoothed his collar. “It smells like disinfectant again, but it smells better than smoke.” After saying that, she gave Ye Qingming a meaningful look before turning around and returning to her bedroom.
Ye Qingming stood dumbly on the spot. When he heard Lin Qingrou’s words, he couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart, as if he had been struck by something powerful. She had always been like this. She wouldn’t quarrel with him, and she wouldn’t be angry with him. She would only gently smile at you. The more beautiful her smile was, the worse her mood would become.
If the other girls had been on fire like gunpowder, Lin Manshou would have been more like a bottle of poison. She quietly and stealthily seeped into every inch of his skin, every drop of his bone and blood, causing him to unconsciously sink into a deep state of self-blame and pain.
Lin Qingrou sat in the room. The moment she entered, her expression collapsed. Her mask was heavy and cumbersome, but she could never abandon it. This was because she knew that the face under the mask was already riddled with bloody holes. She couldn’t reveal her true appearance to Ye Qingming, so she had to replace the mask on her face, layer after layer.
How could she not know that it was tiring, but there was nothing she could do.
After Lin Qingrou changed her clothes, she walked out of the bedroom and saw that Ye Qingming had already finished packing and was sitting on a chair by the door, waiting for her.
She smiled and took her bag from him.
Neither of them knew nor understood why the two of them, who had been so sweet and cheerful last night, would now turn into an awkward and perfunctory pair.
On the way from home to the airport, Lin sometimes pretended to sleep and sometimes pretended to watch the scenery outside the car window. She didn’t take the initiative to speak to Ye Qingming, nor did she look in his direction. As a result, Ye Qingming always let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He threw out everything in his mind about her and concentrated on driving. When they arrived at the airport, they arrived thirty minutes earlier than expected.
People came and went in a hurry at the airport. No one paid any attention to each other, nor did anyone care which couple argued or made peace.
Ye Qingming pushed his luggage cart ahead of them. He did not look back as he headed to the place to change his boarding pass. However, the moment he picked up his things, he realized that his passport was with Lin Qingrou.
Lin Manshou arrived late, and handed her passport to the staff member who changed her boarding pass. Looking at the weight of the luggage, the man stamped two stamps on his passport and said, “Maldives? It is said that the weather there is not very good these days. ”
“I hope the weather will be better when we go,” she said.
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou. He was amazed that she could be so gentle to anyone but him.
Lin Manrou took the passport and boarding pass. She looked at the couples waiting in line behind her, and then she left her seat for them. Then, she pulled Ye Qingming over to her.
She could not help but grumble, “What’s wrong with you today? Are you in a bad mood?”
Ye Qingming sighed. It seemed that every time he heard Lin Qingrou’s voice, he would unconsciously soften his heart. He said angrily, “I don’t know if it’s because you’re in a bad mood or because I’m in a bad mood. In short, there’s an unhappy atmosphere between us.”
Lin Qingrou laughed. “Did you feel that you’re throwing a tantrum right now?”
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou in astonishment. He asked somewhat guiltily: “You got a temper? I’m not a kid, why would I get mad? ”
Lin Qingrou smiled wordlessly, but she kept her passport and took out a notebook from her bag to write something down before handing it to Ye Qingming.
Ye Qingming took the note suspiciously and saw that she wrote one to five numbers on it.
“What is this?”
“Every time you get angry, I’ll draw a circle on top of it. After I gather it up to five times, you’ll …”
“What do you want?”
“Then treat me to some delicious food!” “No,” she said.
Ye Qingming suddenly smiled. He really couldn’t understand what was on her mind every day. Such a childish action didn’t seem like her style, but when she really did it, it didn’t seem that sudden.
To put it bluntly, he had never blamed her, so most of the time his awkwardness was simply disbelief and suspicion towards himself.
It took eight hours to get from B to the Maldives, and eight hours to sit in a chair, even in first class, was not a pleasant time.
Lin Qingrou rubbed her back. Her waist was really uncomfortable. When Ye Qingming saw this, he let her lie on his shoulder. From time to time, he would change his position.
Lin Qingrou looked at her watch, then at the sky outside the porthole, she could not help but ask, “How long more until we arrive?”
Ye Qingming helped her put down the light shield, and then said to her, “Put on your eye patch and headphones, and you’ll be there in a few more sleepless nights.”
Lin Qingrou suddenly smiled and said, “Don’t try to fool me. When I was young, I went out with my brother in the car. That’s how he lied to me. As a result, I slept a lot along the way, and in the end I managed to resist the boredom to get there. ”
Ye Qingming rarely heard her talk about her childhood, so when he heard her talk, his interest was piqued. He asked, “You and your brother were very close when you were young, right?”
Lin Manshou smiled, she shook her head and said, “When we were young, we often quarreled, and it was usually because of delicious food and fun things. But every time I can’t beat him, but in the end he gives me back what I like. ”
She asked again, “What about you? Your relationship with Quan Wei is also very good, right?”
When Ye Qingming mentioned this, his expression changed subtly. However, he said to her, “Actually, I didn’t have a deep relationship with her since young, because the year she came to my house was the year my parents died. Even though I understand that this has nothing to do with her, I will still be filled with rejection and complaint. “Now that I think about it, that was really childish. Probably only kids could do that sort of thing.”
“What about now?”
“Now? Now, of course I treat her a lot better. After all, we are all adults. ”
Lin Qingrou nodded, “You can be considered very lucky to have Quan Wei adopted into your family. Not only are you nice to her, Big Sis and Second Sis are also very nice to her, especially Second Sis. ”
“Hehe, your observation is quite detailed. Of our family, second elder sister is the best to Quan Wei. Although she doesn’t want to live at home, she dotes on Quan Wei.”
“Of course, they are a mother and daughter, of course their relationship is not ordinary,” she thought to herself.
Ye Qingming chatted with her about many matters from his childhood. The two chatted and laughed as they watched the scenery outside the porthole. They felt that they would arrive very soon.
As soon as they got off the plane, Lin Qingrou immediately felt a wave of hot and humid air.
After Ye Qingming had collected their luggage, the two of them had smoothly arrived at the hotel bus.
“Because our hotel is far away, I’m afraid we’ll have to make a seaplane later.” he explained.
Lin Manshui suddenly felt a headache coming on. She had been on the plane and was feeling dizzy. Was she going to do it again? If she had known earlier, she would have chosen the nearest one. She just needed to be a yacht.
She turned her head and looked out the window at the sea. Ever since Marley had been gradually covered by the sea a few years ago, the government had rebuilt an artificial island near Marley as the new capital, known as the Hulumari. Like Marley, the city was surrounded by beach gulls. Even if you were just strolling along the street, you could see people surfing only a few meters away from you.
Lin Manshou looked at the dark blue seaside clouds and said, “If it rains, can the seaplane fly?”
At this moment, Ye Qingming was also a bit tired. He could not help but yawn before saying, “I just hope that the weather doesn’t cause any delays.”
However, the heavens often do not want beauty, people always do not want. When they arrived at the seaplane airport in the bus, they heard from the airport staff that they could no longer fly today. Lin Qingrou’s heart sank. She asked Ye Qingming, “If we can’t go today, then we’ll have to stay here for the whole day, right?”
Ye Qingming nodded. He never expected to encounter such a situation. Fortunately, the hotel was more considerate. They arranged a new residence for the people who were unable to reach the hotel on time due to the seaplane, and then ordered a car to take them to the hotel.
When they arrived at this small hotel, Lin Qingrou was already extremely tired. She picked up her cell phone and checked the time. Since the Maldives was three hours behind China, it was already past four o’clock local time.
Ye Qingming sat at the side. He knew that she was not feeling well these few days, so he said to her, “If you’re tired, just sleep for a while. I’m going out to buy some food.” The hotels here only serve curried chicken and I’m afraid you don’t like it. ”
Lin Manmei sighed with a bitter face, “I still like instant noodles in the country!”
Ye Qingming laughed at her for shaving his nose. Then, he stood up and prepared to go to the restaurant to buy some food.
Seeing that, Lin Qingrou quickly told him, “I’ll go too, I don’t want to lie here alone.”
Ye Qingming looked at her. Indeed, if she left him here, he wouldn’t be at ease either.
As the two of them spoke, they left the hotel. Ye Qingming pulled her to the side of the street. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of them, he frowned and held her hand tightly.
Lin Qingrou watched as she walked, her previously messy heart suddenly calming down. She had never seen such a beautiful sea. If she had not felt anything special when she had been to the coast of Hawaii before, then the sea here had truly shocked her.
The deep blue ocean waves and the jade-green sea water seemed like they only appeared in paintings, and now, they actually appeared in front of her eyes. This was a scene that belonged to her, or rather, it was a scene that was far from conflict and gloom, a scene that belonged solely to them.
Lin Qingrou could not help but say to Ye Qingming, “This place is so beautiful, I don’t even want to go back.” As she said that, she turned to look at him and suddenly discovered that Ye Qingming had disappeared without her. Her hand was empty and had long since disappeared from his hand.
She panicked as she looked around at the unfamiliar streets and the dilapidated buildings around her, as well as the locals who were occasionally looking at her with a strange and curious expression. Sweat started to form on her palms, while her heart began to beat uneasily.
After waiting for a while, Lin Qingrou still could not see Ye Qingming, so she tried to look for him in the stores and supermarkets nearby. Her hand gripped her phone tightly. From time to time, she would try to call him, but every time, she would either be busy or in the middle of a conversation.
Ten minutes later, she started to get anxious and agitated. She could not help but complain, “Ye Qingming, where are you!”
A few minutes later, just as she was panicking, Ye Qingming suddenly appeared behind her with a paper bag.
At first, Lin Qingrou thought it was a bad guy. Just as she turned around and was about to wave her bag over, she realized it was Ye Qingming.
“Where did you go!” She could not help but ask with a hint of tears in her voice.
Ye Qingming blanked out for a moment. He waved the things in his hand and said to her, “I went to the store in front of us to buy some stuff. I was so engrossed in the scenery that I didn’t disturb you. “What’s going on?”
He looked at the moment when she had turned around, frightened and anxious. He suddenly understood what she was complaining about.
As he spoke, he took her hand and held her tightly in his embrace, assuring her, “Alright, don’t be afraid. This is the only time. There won’t be another time.”
Lin Qingrou gently wiped the corner of her eyes, she said snappily, “Do you want to have another chance?!”
Ye Qingming laughed, “Good, good. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left you here today. Next time, you should leave me somewhere else, okay? ”
Lin Manrou rolled her eyes at him, even if she had to forgive him.
