Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C71
Due to his injuries, Ye Qingming had to go out of the clinic every day because he was unable to operate or to solve some problems with the patients who were reviewed. This way, he would be able to get off work on time and on time every day. After a long time, he couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s been a few days since I last had an operation. I think my hands will be stiff by the time I get back to the operating table.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him, then brought the bowl of soup to him.
“Drink it. It will be fine after you drink it.”
Ye Qingming had a bitter face as he said, “It’s soup again. I’ve been drinking more soup than water these days.”
“Then if you don’t drink, I’ll take it.”
Anxious, he quickly stopped Lin Qingrou’s hand, “I was just joking, how could I not drink your soup?”
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and gulped down all the soup.
Lin Qingrou watched with her own eyes, smiling in satisfaction. “That’s more like it.”
Ye Qingming sat on a rattan chair as he enjoyed this rare weekend. However, just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Lin Qingrou’s phone ring.
He picked it up and looked at it. Seeing that it was labeled “Uncle Ming”, he assumed it was one of her distant relatives. He then picked it up.
When the call connected, Uncle Ming did not speak first. This had always been his habit.
Ye Qingming was about to speak, but as he heard the unintelligible silence on the other end of the phone, he felt that it was a bit strange. Therefore, he didn’t speak first.
For a time, the two men on both sides of the phone responded to each other in silence. Although it was quiet, it was actually filled with a tense tension …
“Is it my phone?” Lin Qingrou came out of the kitchen.
She looked at Ye Qingming, who was holding her phone, and felt her heart tighten. Then, she quickly snatched it away from him.
Ye Qingming explained, “I thought it was a relative of yours, so I picked it up for you. However, there was no sound from inside.”
Lin Qingrou nodded, then she hung up the phone, “Yes, Uncle Ming is a relative of mine, but he wasn’t quick with his words. Maybe he was scared when he heard that it wasn’t my voice just now, so he didn’t say anything.”
Ye Qingming was suddenly enlightened, and he quickly said: “Then do you want to fight back? If there really is something, don’t delay it because of me. ”
She put down her phone and said to him, “Don’t worry, I’ll call him when I’m done.”
Ye Qingming saw that she wasn’t angry, so he followed behind her and asked, “A few days ago, you were learning how to drive with Liu Yuxi. I wonder how it is going?”
Lin Qingrou remembered that she had been following Ye Qingming around while driving her car a few days ago. She said, “It’s not bad, I’ve been doing my best to improve. I hope I can get out as soon as possible.”
Ye Qingming could not help but laugh. He rubbed his chin and said, “If you were learning from someone else, I might have some confidence. But if you were learning from Liu Yuxi, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be too confident.”
Lin Manshui curled her lips, then she placed an egg into a bowl, “There’s no other way. Master is already paying respects, you can’t change people midway.”
Ye Qingming took a pair of chopsticks and scattered the eggs as he said, “So I still think I should give you a car. Otherwise, if you learn it and don’t open it, you will be unworthy of your master’s hard work.”
Lin Qingrou leaned against the dining table and laughed. “What do you mean by wanting to buy me a car? Do you have money or no place to spend it?”
Ye Qingming placed the bowl to the side and moved his fingers, “I knew you would say that.”
Before Lin Manshou could finish, she walked up to him and quietly pinched his waist, saying, “I didn’t want you to buy it for me before because I was afraid you would waste your money.” But it’s different now. I’m afraid that if I don’t spend your money now, I won’t have another chance in the future. ”
Ye Qingming was curious. “You don’t have a chance?”
“Of course, I’ve already seen it today. You have so many female friends and colleagues by your side. Shouldn’t I be on guard against them?”
When Ye Qingming saw how serious she was, he couldn’t help but shake her shoulders and laugh, “What are you thinking about everyday!?” What close female colleague, stop daydreaming. ”
Lin Qingrou threw her apron to the side and held Ye Qingming’s hand as she said, “I want to have some Egg Fried Rice. It’s the one you made, okay?”
Ye Qingming looked at the bowl he put down and suddenly realized, “He was waiting for me here.”
Lin Qingrou patted his shoulder and said gently, “I really want to eat the food you made today, so please.” Then, seeing that Ye Qingming had finally agreed, she turned around and left the kitchen.
Lin Qingrou took out her cellphone and went into her bedroom. She first closed the door, then walked onto the balcony and closed the door. Finally, she called Uncle Ming in relief.
Uncle Ming seemed to recognize the voice and asked directly, “Was the person who answered the phone Ye Qingming?”
“Well, I wasn’t in the living room, so he picked it up for me.”
“Alright, don’t let this happen again. You have to be more careful.”
“I understand. Later, I explained to him that you were a distant relative of mine, so I didn’t say anything.”
“Mm, you didn’t make your appointment a few days ago, so we need to find a new location.”
Lin Manrou thought for a moment. “Just behind the square last time. There’s never been anyone there.”
Uncle Ming coughed a few times and said a few words before hanging up.
Lin Manshui let out a sigh of relief. As she thought about it, she gave Liu Yuxi a call and asked her to come out for a ride.
By the time everything was settled, Ye Qingming had almost finished his meal.
While eating, Lin Qingrou told him, “I’m going out with Yuxi, so I won’t be accompanying you in the afternoon.”
Ye Qingming nodded and said, “You have to be careful when driving. Don’t be nervous, but don’t be completely relaxed. Watch the left and right side of the car. Don’t forget to brake the left side and the right side of the accelerator. ”
Lin Qingrou listened attentively from beginning to end. Suddenly, she said, “I suddenly realized that you’re very long-winded, just like Monk Tang.”
After Ye Qingming finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and said, “I only tell you over and over again because I’m good to you. Other people can’t even hear me if they want to.”
Lin Qingrou frowned, she said unhappily, “Who wants to listen to your orders? Is there a lot of people? ”
Ye Qingming rubbed his wrist and smiled, “Of course it’s the patients in the hospital. There are so many people in the hospital, how would I have the time to exhort them so much?”
Lin Qingrou did not bother with him, so she smiled and left.
After the meal, Ye Qingming returned to the study room, and Lin Qingrou changed into a new set of clothes before heading over to the appointed location with Liu Yuxi.
When Liu Yuxi saw her, he asked, “Who are you meeting today?”
“To see Uncle Ming, he just called me at the appointed time.”
Liu Yuxi nodded, then drove her to her destination. Before Lin Qingrou got off the car, Liu Yuxi said, “You have to be careful by yourself. Do you want me to follow you from behind?”
Shaking her head, she walked straight out of the square and down the back path.
At this time, Uncle Ming was already sitting under a big tree. He was still wearing his hat and mask, and from time to time, his throat would have to rely on coughing to make his speech clear.
Lin Qingrou sat at the other end of the chair, looking at the lake before her. “What’s the matter this time?”
Uncle Ming took a few deep breaths before he finally had the strength to say, “How has your relationship with Ye Qingming been recently?”
“Fortunately, although there are still matters that he does not know about, as long as he does not go overboard, I will also rarely pay attention to it.”
“This is between you and him. However, I heard that you found a bug in your clothes the last time? ”
Lin Kuanrou was stunned for a moment before she replied, “Yes, you heard about the bugs from Shen Lei?”
Uncle Ming covered his mouth and coughed, then nodded and said, “Yes, Zhang Kai Feng’s return is strange, you have to be careful.”
“Of course I know, but I don’t understand why he did that.”
“A bug?”
“Yes.”
Uncle Ming suddenly laughed mockingly. His laughter was as low and rough as if it were filled with sand because of his body. After smoothing out the hem of his clothes, he said without any emotion, “There are some things that do not require a reason. Even if there is no hatred or grudge, you still have to harm others. This is human nature.”
Lin Qingrou felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly wanted to leave immediately, because the tone and appearance of Uncle Ming made her feel an indescribable sense of fear.
She forced herself to remain calm and said, “Okay, I will pay attention. Is there anything else? ”
Uncle Ming didn’t say a word. He used the brim of his hat to cover his face even more tightly, and then said to Lin Qingrou, “Let’s talk about the remaining matters again. We’ll stop here for today.” Also, don’t let your friends come with you in the future! ”
After saying that, he tightened his collar, got up and left in the opposite direction.
She thought back to what Uncle Ming had just said. Could it be that Liu Yuxi was following them?
Sure enough, after Uncle Ming left, Liu Yuxi ran over from the grass patch and asked curiously: “He is Uncle Ming! It’s too mysterious. It’s hard for you to connect with him for so many years without even knowing what he looks like. ”
Lin Manrou sighed and then sat in the same position as before, “Although he doesn’t show his face, he is very sensitive. “Just now, he did not even turn around, and he already knew that you were peeking at me from behind!”
Liu Yuxi covered her mouth in surprise and said, “No way! I hid so well, and I was actually discovered! ”
“Of course, if I didn’t discover you, I’m afraid he would have something else to say.”
“Heavens, how is this an old man in his sixties? He is clearly a martial arts expert.”
Liu Yuxi looked towards the direction that Uncle Ming left in as he spoke, silently looking at him with admiration. Lin Manrou thought for a while and suddenly said, “I remember that there was a big scar on Uncle Ming’s hand. It looked a little familiar.”
Liu Yuxi retracted his gaze and asked curiously, “You look familiar? “What do you mean? Could it be that there’s something about scars that doesn’t look like one?”
“No, what I mean is, the scars on Uncle Ming’s body are very similar to the ones on my body.”
“In other words, Uncle Ming’s hand was scalded by water? However, that doesn’t seem to mean anything. ”
“Of course, I’m just saying what I just discovered.”
With that, Lin Qingrou put her ice-cold hands into her pockets. She couldn’t help but squint as she looked up at the dusky sky and muttered to herself, “It looks like the sky is going to change again.”
After they left the square, Lin Canrou said to Liu Yuxi, “Ye Qingming accidentally received a call from Uncle Ming today. I explained to him that Uncle Ming is a relative of mine.”
Liu Yuxi nodded. She had to remember this matter as well, in case something happened in the future, she would have an excuse to deal with it.
Liu Yuxi asked again, “Does Ye Qingming still not know that you can drive by yourself?”
Lin Qingrou shook her head, “Are you sure that Xiao Chuxin did not see me in your car that day?”
“Of course, I completely blocked her line of sight back then, so she wouldn’t have been able to see you. Furthermore, when you met her at the airport, she didn’t have any other reactions. ”
She had to make sure that everything was watertight, and that there was not even the slightest hint of doubt. Because if this were not the case, then the road ahead would be ten thousand times more difficult.
That night, when Lin Qingrou returned home, she looked around and sure enough, Ye Qingming was still in the study. She walked into the study in a daze, then covered his eyes while he was watching the surgical video. However, Ye Qingming didn’t seem to be scared at all.
“Why aren’t you surprised?” She let go of him.
Ye Qingming took off his earphones and sniffed. He grabbed her hand and said, “It seems like you and Liu Yuxi aren’t doing anything good together. Did you go drinking again?”
Lin Qingrou buried her face in his neck and said, “If we didn’t drink, how could we have drunk? Even if you drink it, you won’t get drunk. ”
Ye Qingming looked at her and asked, “It’s so cold, you must have drunk some white wine, right?”
Lin Qingrou smiled. She waved her hand and said, “No, we drink red wine.”
“Drink a bottle?”
“Of course not, I drank a bottle and a half!”
She waved her index finger in front of Ye Qingming’s eyes.
Ye Qingming sighed and stood up, then he helped her into the bedroom and laid down. As he took off her shoes and changed her clothes, he asked, “What happened today? Why are you drinking for no reason?”
Lying there in a daze, Lin Manmei started to recite a poem, “Drinking to calm down your worries, your worries only make up for your worries.”
Ye Qingming stopped what he was doing out of curiosity. He sat beside her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lin Qingrou rolled over and said, “There are too many things to worry about. I’m afraid we won’t be able to finish them in one day and one night.”
Ye Qingming did not say anything. He slowly thought about what had happened in the past few days, and also thought about the scene where he met Xiao Chuxin at the airport. He lowered his head, slowly stroking her hair and asked in a low voice, “Is it because of me now that I have something to worry about?”
At first, Lin Qingrou did not move, but after a while, she suddenly blurted out, “Of course it’s because of you, otherwise who else would it be?”
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Qingming closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then left the bedroom and walked to the living room’s balcony. Not long later, a faint smell of smoke wafted into Lin Qingrou’s bedroom from the balcony.
At this moment, Lin Qingrou quietly got up and sat on the bed, listening to the sounds coming from the living room. She had pretended to be asleep from the moment she entered the door because she wanted to “speak the truth after drinking” to see Ye Qingming’s reaction when he found out about this.
And now, she had already thrown out the primer. The rest was up to Ye Qingming.
But at this moment, what troubled Ye Qingming even more were Quan Wei and Xiao Chuxin. He knew that they had known each other for a long time and that their relationship was not ordinary. As a result, many things could not be done so decisively, and this also meant that he could not get rid of this matter between Xiao Chuxin and Lin Qingrou 100% of the time.
Ye Qingming fiercely inhaled a mouthful of smoke. He slammed his hand on the balcony railing, causing a buzzing sound from the iron grade equipment. It was heavy and depressing.
After finishing a cigarette, he carefully returned to his bedroom. When he saw that Lin Qingrou had already fallen asleep, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. It was as if he could temporarily avoid having to face her for the rest of the day.
But when the sun rose tomorrow morning, they were still two people living under the same roof. At that time, what should he do to heal the scar on her heart? This was Ye Qingming’s greatest headache.
