"What about you?" Zheng Junyan blurted out and asked.
Ye Qinglan smiled without changing her expression and said: "I want to accompany cousin Xiyu to the pond to enjoy the lotus." Then, he naturally looked at Shen Chang'an: "I wonder if Mr. Shen is tired. If not, how about we go together? "
Shen Chang'an was excited and responded with a loud voice: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired even after walking for a whole day."
Everyone: "..."
Meng Zijun smiled and smoothed things over: "It just so happens that I also want to go see the lotuses, so let's go together. There are more people and it will be more lively."
Ye Qingning suddenly frowned. This Meng Zijun is good at fishing in troubled waters, and there was no plan for him to follow before. But he had already opened his mouth, and anything he said at this time would be a bit too obvious...
In this moment of confusion, Meng Zijun followed the three of them and left openly.
Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan were sitting in the pavilion, resting, each thinking, and did not speak for a while. After a long time, Ye Qingning calmed down and looked at Zheng Junyan. Zheng Junyan, however, was completely oblivious and was still immersed in his chaotic thoughts. . His face looked a little inexplicably solemn and lonely.
The pent-up sourness in Ye Qingning's heart surged up again, and her chest felt tight. But her pride did not allow her to show even half of it. She sat up straight without realizing it, feeling unusually stiff.
The atmosphere on Ye Qinglan's side was completely opposite. Although they didn't talk much along the way, everyone was in a happy mood. They soon reached the pond.
Speaking of ponds, basically every mansion has one. Although building a pond is time-consuming and expensive, the honorable family values face. What others have in their mansions must also be in their own. The pond in Dingguo Gong's mansion It's big enough, and the one in Zheng Guogong's Mansion is no less generous. It's midsummer, and the pond is covered with green lotus leaves, dotted with Pingting lotus flowers. Even if the weather is hot and dry, looking at this pond full of lotus flowers will make you feel... There is a refreshing coolness.
However, no matter how beautiful the lotus is, Shen Changan has no interest in admiring it. His mind is occupied by the girl who lowered her head and said nothing...
Ye Qinglan looked at Shen Changan's lost look. She couldn't help but secretly laugh. She couldn't help but tease: "It's a rare opportunity to meet and talk. Are you planning to just stand there like this all the time?"
Shen Changan finally came to his senses: "Of course not, I have something to say to Sister Gu." Then, he looked at Ye Qinglan with expectant eyes. If someone wants to express their true feelings, it would be inappropriate to have outsiders present!
Ye Qinglan didn't embarrass him, and walked away consciously for a distance. Well, about five or six meters away. As long as she was there, there was no need to worry even if someone came inadvertently. She wasn't alone in private, and she wouldn't cause anything. Just gossip.
Meng Zijun was very obedient and walked to Ye Qinglan's side automatically without saying anything.
Although Shen Changan was not satisfied, he also knew that such a meeting was already rare and he could not expect more. He immediately calmed down and looked at Gu Xiyu.
Gu Xiyu still lowered her head and unconsciously kneaded the handkerchief in her hands. Two faint blushes appeared on her pretty face as white as jade. It was more intoxicating than all the scenery in the world.
Shen Changan was so drunk that he couldn't help but confide in his heart: "Sister Gu, since I left the capital, I have been thinking about you almost every day. I think about you when I eat, when I sleep, and even when I am fighting..."
Gu Xiyu suddenly raised her head: "What do you want me to do when we are fighting? What if I get injured accidentally?" Her words were calm, but her vague concern was clearly revealed.
Shen Changan was as if he were walking on clouds, and he didn't even know what he was talking about: "I have only been slightly injured twice."
Gu Xiyu frowned slightly: "Have you really been hurt?"
Shen Changan frowned when he saw her. His heart immediately tightened, and he hurriedly said: "There is no one who won't be injured in a battle. Don't worry, my body is very strong. The injury has already healed. If you don't believe it, I will take off my clothes and give it to you right now." have a look."
Gu Xiyu: "..."
After the words came out, Shen Changan was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake and gave an embarrassing and embarrassed explanation: "Don't be angry, I made a slip of the tongue and never meant to take advantage of you. Really, you must believe me..." This This kind of thing became darker and darker the more it was described, and the more it was explained, the more wrong it became. In the end, even Shen Changan himself couldn't talk anymore and his face turned red.
Gu Xiyu blinked, then pursed her lips and smiled, with a rare playful tone: "Why are you so nervous? When did I say I was angry with you?" That playful smile instantly lit up her beautiful face. .
Shen Changan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt numb all over his body. His heart softened into a pool of spring water, and the pool of spring water even rippled onto his face. He smiled stupidly, a typical sign of falling in love with an IQ close to zero.
Of course, Mr. Shen's IQ was not that high to begin with, but at a time like this, he unexpectedly said happily: "Have you missed me?"
Gu Xiyu thought about it seriously, and then answered honestly: "I haven't thought about it much."
Shen Changan: "..."
This basin of cold water is pouring it, it's almost cold from the inside out.
Shen Changan looked at Gu Xiyu helplessly: "Have you really never thought about me? Not at all?" A tall and strong man, at this time, looked pitiful without the love of his father and the love of his mother. This scene It looks a bit ridiculous.
Gu Xiyu couldn't hold back and laughed. She was extremely beautiful, and her smile was even more pure and endearing. Shen Changan only felt that as long as he could make her happy, it didn't matter what he did. He couldn't help but follow suit. Laughed.
Ye Qinglan and Meng Zijun were watching the show with gusto.
Meng Zijun glanced at the giggling Shen Chang'an with disgust: "Don't say that I know this person from now on." Looking at his stupid look, it was unbearable to see. He is usually a rough and free-spirited man, how could he meet Gu Xi? Jade has this virtue.
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly and joked in a low voice: "It's much better now. You haven't seen him like before!"
Meng Zijun asked curiously: "Let me tell you what it was like before."
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "The first time they met was in the imperial garden..." The voice was low, and if you wanted to hear it clearly, you had to prick up your ears.
Meng Zijun moved his head over intentionally or unintentionally. This way he could hear much more clearly, and the distance between the two of them was also much closer.
This is the closest the two have been in more than a month.
Looking at the smiling face so close, Meng Zijun felt an uncontrollable commotion in his heart, and his eyes gradually became intense and focused. He couldn't even hear clearly what she was saying. He couldn't help but take another step closer.
Ye Qinglan reacted very quickly and took a step back without thinking.
This subconscious move made Meng Zijun feel cold, and a smile condensed on the corners of his lips. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Looking at Meng Zijun's hurt eyes, Ye Qinglan felt a little inexplicable guilt, so she could only explain in a low voice: "Men and women are not intimate, although there are no outsiders now, but the two of us have to be careful to avoid gossip."
This high-sounding explanation did not make Meng Zijun feel relieved.
The feeling between men and women is actually very subtle. Sometimes a tacit look in the eyes and a knowing smile can make each other clear about the other's feelings. Similarly, a small unconscious movement can also reveal the true thoughts in the heart.
What happened, and why was she so repelled by his approach? Has she fallen in love with another man in the past year or so?
Meng Zijun felt an uncontrollable bitterness in his heart, and even felt bitter in his mouth. But he forced himself to put on a nonchalant smile on his face: "It's my fault. When I got excited, I forgot to keep my distance."
He pretended that nothing happened, and Ye Qinglan naturally breathed a sigh of relief. The guilt in her heart became stronger and stronger. His affection for her was so obvious, how could she not know it. But at this time, she was no longer qualified to respond to this feeling.
Got it!
If it had been another man, she would have rejected him calmly and rationally. Just like how she rejected Cui Yu before, since it was impossible, she would have simply refused to avoid causing more pain in the future. But for Mencius
Jun, she really doesn’t know how to talk to him...
She is decisive by nature and hates people who are indecisive and hesitant. But she never expected that she would be in such a dilemma one day. She thought ostrichly that after a long time, he would naturally notice her thoughts and understand her thoughts.
Keep the distance unannounced.
Ye Qinglan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "By the way, you have passed the candidacy for the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Are you going to report for office soon?"
Meng Zijun cooperated and changed the subject: "I plan to report tomorrow." After a pause, he laughed softly: "I didn't expect that I could still do my old job."
Ye Qinglan smiled and sighed, "Yes, I can only envy you." Men can show up and do what they want to do. But it is too difficult for women to do what they want.
Meng Zijun also felt sorry for her: "You are such an excellent psychiatrist, but it is really a pity that you can't use your talents." No one knows better than him that she is outstanding in her field of expertise. But now she has to restrain all her talents.
The light is really disappointing.
Ye Qinglan pretended to smile casually and said: "You have wasted your life and lived one more time. People can't be too greedy. Life is pretty good now."
Looking at her strong smile, Meng Zijun was silent, but his eyes lit up. Such a strong, optimistic and confident woman was the Ye Qinglan he loved deeply. No matter what kind of difficulties she encountered, she would never
Instead of blaming others, he faced it positively and bravely. How could he be willing to let go of her like this!
No matter whether she has someone else in her heart, he will never give up...
Ye Qinglan suddenly lowered her voice and laughed: "Actually, I couldn't hold it back and secretly treated the patient."
Meng Zijun's curiosity was immediately aroused: "Who is it?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
