Another relatively conspicuous location in the manor. [] The mistress of the manor and the man of the house, Ivan, are entertaining an extremely important guest.
"Leo, if you hadn't helped develop our new wine formula last year, we wouldn't have had such good profits this year, let alone doubled the number of partners." The tall man opposite Ivan said with great gratitude.
"Don't think of me as a great contributor. The wine can be so good because of the good management of your couple and the reputation of this century-old vineyard. I just gave some suggestions on adding a few auxiliary ingredients, which is nothing at all.
." Qi Yu said with a smile. In the past few years, he has devoted himself to the research of animals and plants, and has a deep understanding of the ingredients and effects of many plant extracts. Last year, he was invited by a friend to visit the manor. It happened to be that the manor had a headache.
When tasting the new wine, he tasted the wine they had initially brewed and felt that the taste was not good, so he suggested that they add some plant extracts that could bring aroma and enhance the taste. Unexpectedly, once they tried it, the taste and quality of the wine were greatly improved.
After improving, they later launched a series of new wines, which became popular throughout Europe and were also exported to Asia and Africa. Within a year, their manor's red wine trade reached its peak in history.
In order to thank him for his help, the couple actually arranged a transfer to bring him here from Sweden for the centenary celebration of the vineyard.
"No matter what, you have contributed a lot and helped us a lot. If you have any needs in the future, we and I will spare no effort to move for you." Ivan, who has a bold personality, raised his glass and clinked it with him, "cheers!"
"Cheers!" Qi Yu said and tasted the glass of red wine elegantly.
Ivan was the heart of the entire banquet today, and was a very busy person who had to organize and entertain all the guests. He just said a few words to Qi Yu, and then left in a hurry to go about his own business. Although she was also very busy, she had something to do.
Qi Yu helped, so he stayed where he was.
"Leo, you have always done in-depth research on plants. A new neighbor of mine wants to know more about plant essential oils, but there is no professional person to guide him. I wonder if you can help?"
"Plant essential oils are generally naturally extracted from the flowers, fruits, stems, roots and other parts of natural plants. I have some experience in it and should be able to help." Qi Yu's enthusiasm today is actually not very high.
Since returning to Sweden from New Zealand a month ago, he has been shutting himself in his personal laboratory at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, staying at home all day and immersing himself in research. Because the only way to do this is to keep himself crazy busy
When he got up, he would not have extra energy to think about Ye Zixi, and he would be able to suppress his impulse to find her.
So if it hadn't been for the warm invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan, he might not have left the laboratory at all. Now that he is here, he has to show some enthusiasm so as not to lose interest. Since he is her neighbor who wants to know about plant essential oils
Knowledge, he will naturally not refuse.
"That's great. She's under the big tree over there. I'll take you there right now. I believe she will be very happy to see you." She has always been willing to help others, especially the neighbors who are new here. Qi Yu was full of words.
Agreeing, she immediately led him to a big tree not far away.
She stood in front of the fence and quietly watched the horses running in the distance. Her heart also drifted away. It was the first time in the past few years that she saw running horses on the lawn. Looking at those running horses, her mind
There was a vague glimpse of her riding a horse, but it quickly disappeared, as if it was entirely her imagination.
Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and realized it was him. When she saw the man standing behind her, she was shocked. How could this man appear here?
She didn't notice Ye Zixi's strangeness, and enthusiastically introduced: "Mrs. Gu, don't you want to learn about essential oils? I found a very knowledgeable expert for you. His name is Leoqi, and his name is Qi Yu.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask him."
When he saw Ye Zixi, who looked surprised and wary of him, Qi Yu was even more stunned. When he just walked over, he felt that her back was very familiar. When she turned around and came to her face, he almost couldn't believe it.
own eyes.
"Leo, this is..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yu said: "She and I know each other."
"Oh my God, you guys actually know each other. It's really incredible." The thing I just introduced actually feels a little wrong. It turns out that the two of you know each other. "Haha, in this case, you two can talk about it in detail. I'll go and get busy first.
"
She felt that she was very aware of current affairs, because when she looked back, the look in Qi Yu's eyes, Mrs. Gu's, was different from ordinary people's, but the affectionate look of a man looking at the woman he loved deeply. There must be something fishy about it. However, I want to know the details,
She would better inquire later. The best thing now is to give them alone time to get along. If there is any problem, it is best for the two of them to solve it themselves.
Ye Zixi was very afraid of being alone with this man, but before she could shout to stay, the man had already slipped aside to entertain the guests.
"Yu'er, how have you and the children been doing this month?" After a long silence, Qi Yu only asked this sentence, like a greeting from an old friend.
Ye Zixi was very angry when she heard him calling her "concubine". That day they moved here and expected to know everything that happened in the past from Gu Yingtang, but instead he left home in a hurry after receiving a phone call. Until now.
She hasn't been home for a whole month. If they hadn't been in contact by phone and email, she would have been really worried that something had happened to him. So the past is still an unsolved mystery to her.
Because she was afraid that her current peace and happiness would be destroyed, she forced herself not to guess, but to devote her energy to some new things. Once when passing an essential oil store, she walked in curiously and found that there was a big
Mysterious, that’s why I want to learn about essential oils so that my life will not be so boring. When I went to her house these few times, I happened to see her holding some books on essential oils, so the two started chatting. She just
She casually said that it would be great if she could learn from an expert. Unexpectedly, she took it seriously and actually introduced an expert to her. However, she never expected that this expert would appear in front of her a month ago and be so frivolous.
Her hateful man.
"Don't yell, my name is Ye Zixi, I'm not your concubine." Ye Zixi said and turned away. She didn't want to stay where this man appeared. Now she just wanted to find her two friends quickly.
kids and then go home.
If he didn't see her, he could still control himself not to look for her, but after finally meeting her by chance, he couldn't bear to say goodbye to her. As he ran after her, he shouted: "Yu'er, I don't mean any harm, don't leave.
"
"I told you that I am Ye Zixi, don't call me Yu'er again!" She was so angry that she turned around and yelled at him. However, she stepped on the hem of her skirt without thinking, and her whole body was dyed with strong charcoal fire to the side to barbecue.
On the stove, she was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah!!!"
When he saw her, he was about to rush towards the stove. Qi Yu didn't have time to think about it. He jumped over and hugged her, then spun her around and then fell. However, because the distance was too close, the impact was too great. The stove was knocked over and the hot coals spread.
Kailai placed it on Qi Yu's back.
.
When the body landed on the ground, what it encountered was not hot coals or grass, but a hot male body. Ye Zixi came back to her senses in panic. It turned out that it was Qi Yu who hugged her. At this moment, his face was red and his forehead was red.
He was sweating profusely, and his expression was even more distorted with pain.
"Uh..." Qi Yu endured the pain and tried to silence himself, but the pain of his skin being burned and cracked still made him shout unbearably.
Hearing his painful cry, Ye Zixi immediately understood that he was injured and quickly got up from him. Then she heard the cry: "Ivan, call the doctor quickly. Leo's back was burned by the charcoal fire. It's very serious."
."
When he struggled to get up from the ground, someone soon came over and swept the charcoal on his back to the ground. Ye Zixi was in shock.
Seeing Ye Zixi staring at him blankly, with moisture in his eyes, Qi Yu's heart suddenly hurt. He endured the pain in his back, walked over and asked with concern: "Yu'er, oh, no, Zi Xi, are you there?"
It's okay, did you get burned?"
The anxiety and concern on his face struck Ye Zixi's heart hard. This man was willing to be burned by charcoal fire in order to save her. What was even more incredible was that the person who had been severely burned was not concerned about his own injuries, but his own injuries.
He came to ask if she was okay. How deeply does this man love her to make him behave like this?
She didn't speak. Qi Yu was very worried and ignored the etiquette. He checked her himself and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was intact. At this time, he came over to support Qi Yu and said urgently: "Leo, I'll deal with you."
The wound is serious, I will help you back to the house, the doctor will be here soon."
Seeing that Ye Zixi remained silent, Qi Yu didn't know what she was thinking. A large piece of flesh was probably burned off his back. If not treated in time, he might die of sepsis. In that case, he would not be able to return to Ye Zixi.
Zi Xi didn't say anything, and then quickly walked into the house.
Looking at Qi Yu leaving, looking at the large piece of flesh and blood on his back that was burnt with charcoal, Ye Zixi didn't know why tears fell from her eyes without warning, one drop after another, without interruption.
My heart is also throbbing hard.
God, why did she feel sorry for this strange man and why did she burst into tears for him?
"Mommy, why are you crying?" After an unknown amount of time, a little boy ran over from the crowd and pulled the hem of his skirt and asked concernedly and anxiously.
Her son's voice brought back Ye Zixi's wandering thoughts. She knelt down and smiled at her son: "It's nothing. Mommy has sand in her eyes and she sheds tears because of the discomfort."
"That's it, then I'll follow daddy's method of blowing you, and everything will be fine after a long time." He He very wisely imitated Gu Yingtang's posture and method and blew her eyes gently, looking very cute and filial.
Feeling the happiness of her son blowing her eyes, Ye Zixi was worried about the injury of the man who had walked into the house. No matter who he was or what purpose he had for her, he was the one who saved her this time.
After all, he is not a bad person. I hope nothing happens to him.
