Chapter 181 Accompanying Chapter 181 Accompanying
When Yanling finished her meal, bought some necessities, and returned to the hospital, only Yu Qinghan was left.
When Yu Qinghan saw Yan Ling coming, he stood up to say goodbye: "There is a meeting in the afternoon, so I have to ask you to help take care of it. I will come over to take turns in the evening."
Now this is all we can do, Yan Ling said hurriedly: "Okay, let's arrange it this way first."
Yu Qinghan saw that Pei Yunchuan was a little less energetic, and it was not easy to disturb his rest, so he comforted him and said, "Boss, you have a good rest. I will come back later."
Pei Yunchuan said weakly: "It doesn't matter, just take your time."
Not long after Yu Qinghan left, Pei Yunchuan fell asleep. There were two beds in this ward, and Pei Yunchuan was the only patient at the moment, so the ward was so quiet that Yan Ling wanted to sleep, but Pei Yunchuan was still infusion, so she couldn't sleep. You must persist until the infusion is completed.
There are no mobile phones to play with, and no handheld game consoles to kill time. Yan Lingku sat and kept Pei Yunchuan away.
Why did he suddenly become ill? He was obviously fine when he took the plane yesterday, and there was nothing unusual about her voice when he called her last night. However, he became so ill after not seeing her all night. As expected, he was so ill.
The way he slept seemed to have lost his usual sternness. Looking at his sleeping face, Yan Ling not only wondered what it would be like for him to live abroad, and whether he would become tender when faced with his Tianhui. Some?
This face is full of the charm of a mature man, and these words are Kong Ling's exact words. But no matter how charming she was, the purpose of her business trip was not to take care of patients. She wanted to go to a meeting and go back to the big bed in the hotel to lie down and have a good sleep.
When Pei Yunchuan woke up, he found Yan Ling sleeping on the bedside table. The infusion bottle above his head had long been removed, and the indwelling needle was still buried in the back of his right hand.
After most of the day of treatment, he was sweating a lot and wanted to go to the bathroom. Pei Yunchuan moved gently, and he did not wake up Yan Ling, but Yan Ling suddenly woke up on her own. Seeing that Pei Yunchuan had already gotten out of bed, she quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
"bathroom."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, I should be able to do it myself."
Both of them were a little embarrassed. Yan Ling was still worried and followed Pei Yunchuan to the bathroom, but she stood at the door and did not go in. After he finished, Yan Ling reminded him to be careful where he steps.
It was a lot more convenient since there was no infusion. I remembered that it was really inconvenient in the morning. It was tiring for her to help hold the bottle.
After returning to the hospital bed, Pei Yunchuan found his wallet, took out a credit card from it and handed it to Yan Ling: "I'll tell you the password. You can use the card as you like for those expenses."
"Oh." Yan Ling was thinking about paying the hospital bills because she was afraid that credit cards would not be supported. His card looks quite high-end, and he is indeed a child of a wealthy family.
"If that card can't be used, I have another card here." Pei Yunchuan took out another shiny gold card.
Then he wrote down the passwords of the two cards and asked Yan Ling to keep them for him.
"You have so many bank cards." There are not many ATM machines in this era, and most people still like to use passbooks, including Yanling.
"My dad helped with this. He is from the bank after all."
Really a rich second generation, Yan Ling asked casually: "Where do your parents live?"
Pei Yunchuan said: "My father worked in a bank in the imperial capital. He was transferred to the head office a year before I returned to China. He had been working in the branch before. My mother passed away when I was still very young. I am the only one in my family. He is an only child and has no brothers or sisters.”
Only children are indeed rare in this era. This was also the first time Pei Yunchuan told her about his family affairs head-on.
"After graduating from high school, I went to France to study and stayed in France for ten years until Mr. Wang asked me to come back to help him."
"Then will you go to France in the future?"
Facing Yan Ling's inquiry, Pei Yunchuan smiled slightly and said, "Maybe." He only told Wang Anliang about his departure, so he planned to keep it a secret from Yan Ling.
He wants to go back and renew his relationship with his former girlfriend? This is not something Yan Ling should be concerned about.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone from the company came over. They even brought a fruit basket and bought a bouquet of flowers to visit Pei Yunchuan.
Pei Yunchuan was in slightly better spirits. After chatting with everyone for a while, Yu Qinghan and Yan Ling said, "You go back to the hotel first, and leave this place to me."
"Okay." Yan Ling said goodbye to Pei Yunchuan: "I will come over early tomorrow morning so that you can have a good life."
Although Pei Yunchuan spoke lightly, his eyes were gentle. He told Yan Ling, "Don't worry." Before she left, she told Yu Qinghan how much of each medicine to take.
Yan Ling and Luo Yue went back together. When passing by a bank, Yan Ling took the card given by Pei Yunchuan to withdraw some cash. It was safer to pay cash at the hospital. After all, not everywhere here can pay by card, and mobile payments are not allowed. Haven't shown up yet.
Luo Yue accidentally discovered the amount of money in Pei Yunchuan's card, and she had to sigh: "Manager Pei is still a rich young man."
"His family is well off and he lives in a villa. His family must not be short of money. I heard that he has other projects to invest in besides work." Yan Ling learned this from Yu Qinghan.
Luo Yue said with envy: "The young master from a rich family is so nice. Why don't I just divorce the couple at home and try to hook up with Manager Pei."
Yan Ling said quickly: "This risk is too big."
Luo Yue smiled and said: "I just said it casually. I don't take it seriously. You must have been deceived by me. I am a married woman and have no chance, but you still have a chance. You are a direct superior and you are close to the water. What? If you want to take action, I can help you with ideas."
Faced with Luo Yue's well-intentioned suggestion, Yan Ling just shook her head. Everyone was joking and laughed it off. The next day she went to the hospital to change shifts at just eight o'clock. Yu Qinghan looked in high spirits. He should have had a good rest last night.
"Actually, you don't have to come over today." Yu Qinghan said.
"You have a meeting, I'll watch over him. The department manager has not arrived, but the supervisor must be present, and this meeting is very important." Yan Ling urged Yu Qinghan to let him go first.
I waited until the doctor came to check the ward, and then queued up to receive medicine and pay. Yan Ling ran up and down the stairs alone. By the time Pei Yunchuan was finally given the fluid, it was already 9:10.
"Your temperature has not completely dropped. The doctor has prescribed another medicine today. It depends on how the situation is today. If the symptoms disappear, you can stay in the hospital for another day tomorrow and then you can go back."
Pei Yunchuan said helplessly: "I'm here on a business trip, not to experience the ward."
"Then what can you do, so get better quickly, otherwise you will have to refund the ticket."
Yan Ling helped divide the oral medicine, made warm water, and gave the cup to Pei Yunchuan.
"Take medicine first. Only after taking medicine can you feel better."
In Pei Yunchuan's opinion, Xu Yanling was a gentle person, and he was also staring at her with gentle eyes.

Chapter 182 The First Snow Chapter 182 The First Snow
After two consecutive days of medication, his body temperature finally came down completely, the inflammation gradually disappeared, and Pei Yunchuan's complexion gradually returned to its usual rosy and healthy state.
It was already 2 p.m. after the third day of treatment, and the patient could not be discharged until approved by the doctor.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Luo Yue came to help. Yan Ling still ran up and down and finally completed all the procedures. Pei Yunchuan seemed to be in good spirits and did not need help.
After the group returned to the hotel, Pei Yunchuan and Yan Ling said, "Go back and rest. You have worked hard these days."
"It's okay. If you want anything, call the phone in my room." He said this, but after the elevator reached the 10th floor, Yan Ling did not come out with Luo Yue. She sent Pei Yunchuan to the room on the 12th floor.
Yan Ling asked Pei Yunchuan to lie down and rest. She put away the pile of things and gave special instructions before leaving: "I have already taken the medicine at noon. Take the rest of today's medicine half an hour after dinner. You will be there in the afternoon." Just rest in your room and call me if you need anything."
Pei Yunchuan nodded in agreement, and said softly: "Go ahead, don't worry about me."
Yan Ling closed the curtains again and prepared boiling water before leaving.
After Yan Ling left, Pei Yunchuan fell asleep again. He didn't know how long he slept. He was woken up by the doorbell.
Pei Yunchuan scratched his head and came to open the door. Standing outside the door was Wang Anliang. Pei Yunchuan suddenly lost his sleepiness and quickly invited Wang Anliang into the room.
"It seems to have disturbed your rest."
Pei Yunchuan went over and opened the curtains and said, "It's okay, I've already rested. The meeting is over." I'm really sorry. After the meeting for three days, he lay down for three days.
"It's over. We have an 11 o'clock flight, can you leave?" Wang Anliang looked worried.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Pei Yunchuan invited Wang Anliang to sit down. Wang Anliang was hesitant about whether to have a long chat with Pei Yunchuan.
After the two sat down, they talked about work. Wang Anliang said: "The meeting passed the new regulations of the industry association, and various testing and inspection standards are more stringent than before."
Pei Yunchuan said: "This is the general trend."
"Yes, the general trend is that industry regulations will only become stricter. Last year, Chunxiu fined hundreds of thousands."
"They deserve to be punished. If they are allowed to touch the red line, they will fall into trouble sooner or later if they have no bottom line."
Wang Anliang smiled and said: "You are right. The contract was signed last night, and the new project will be launched as soon as the Spring Festival is over."
"Are you still going to do a facial mask?"
Wang Anliang said: "I want to try perfume."
Pei Yunchuan was startled and said, "Our production line is not yet mature. If we want to produce perfume, we will need to purchase a few more sets of equipment."
"If you want to do something big, you need to spend a lot of money. I think this project is feasible. I will ask Manager Liu to make a budget later."
Wang Anliang is the boss of the company. The boss makes a decision, and the following can only follow. After talking about work, Wang Anliang asked Pei Yunchuan: "Have you told Yu Qinghan that you are leaving? If you want to leave, you must hand over the work in advance."
"I know, I won't let Mr. Wang embarrass you and add burden to you."
When Wang Anliang saw that he had decided to leave, he also knew that it was useless to talk more.
"Yunchuan, we have been friends for many years. Thank you for providing me with assistance when I was in the most difficult time. No matter where you go in the future, I hope you can rise to the top and live the life you want."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your blessing." As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the room rang, and Pei Yunchuan stepped forward to answer it.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Pei Yunchuan replied here: "Nothing's wrong, he's much better."
"What do you want for dinner? Do you want me to help you pick it up?"
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll order room service. You've worked hard too."
The other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, can you catch the 11 o'clock flight?"
Pei Yunchuan here replied: "No problem."
After hanging up the phone after a few words, Wang Anliang suddenly asked: "I thought the room service here was very user-friendly. Is it your assistant calling?"
"Yes, it was her who called. If it weren't for her this time, I'm afraid I would have suffered more and probably missed my flight tonight."
"So you have to thank people properly, don't be so harsh on your subordinates, and occasionally be gentle to win over talents. Have you reflected on why Zhong Li left in the first place?" Wang Anliang felt that Pei Yunchuan Sometimes too rigid.
Faced with the boss's accusation, Pei Yunchuan had nothing to say.
For the 11 o'clock flight, you have to arrive at the airport two hours in advance. However, it happened to be foggy and the flight was repeatedly delayed. It was already one o'clock in the morning when they officially boarded the plane.
By the time they arrived at the provincial capital, it was already past three in the morning, and it was pitch black outside. After leaving the airport, everyone took a taxi to go home. Pei Yunchuan had just recovered from his serious illness. Wang Anliang was a little worried. He was asking Yu Qinghan to send Pei Yunchuan back. Luo Yue suggested, "It's better to ask Xu Yanling to send him back."
Yan Ling glanced at Luo Yue in surprise, but Luo Yue just raised her eyebrows at Yan Ling, looking like she was trying her best not to laugh. Seeing this, Mr. Wang took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, Miss Xu, you have to send our manager Pei home smoothly."
Yan Ling agreed that this task was not complicated at first, so everyone said goodbye and could arrive at the company after noon tomorrow.
Yan Ling and Pei Yunchuan took the same taxi, and they both sat in the back seat. Pei Yunchuan went to bed as soon as he got in the car. After a while, his head was tilted on Yan Ling's shoulder. Yan Ling couldn't push it away even if she wanted to.
After finally arriving at the villa where he lived, Yan Ling came down together. Pei Yunchuan helped pay the fare and took down his and Yanling's luggage.
"Can you help me get everything? I plan to take this car back."
Faced with her doubts, Pei Yunchuan went over and took her hand and said, "You can rest here for a while and wait until dawn."
Yan Ling's hand was a little cold, but it was wrapped in his warm palm. When she wanted to take her hand back, she was suddenly hugged by Pei Yunchuan. Yanling looked at him in horror and wanted to break free from his restraints.
But Pei Yunchuan leaned against her ear and said to her in a very gentle voice: "I like you."
Yan Ling was stunned at that time. Pei Yunchuan took advantage of her to lower her head and kiss her, but Yan Ling pushed him away hard. At this time, she felt something cold fall on her face. Yan Ling said something :"Snowing."
The fine snow falls gently in the night sky, and you can't see its color. You can only feel the biting coldness.
He was recovering from a serious illness, and Yan Ling hurriedly pushed him into the yard.
Her heart was pounding because of what he just said.

Chapter 183 Tell you Chapter 183 Tell you
Li Ma helped prepare the room, and Yan Ling also wanted to rest.
Because I was extremely tired, I just lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed and fell asleep quickly. That night she dreamed of the day when she had just traveled to the Xu family and became a silly girl, being chased by those in the Xu family and wanted to send her away for marriage.
She spent the whole night dreaming of running away, running and running. Finally, she was tired and had nowhere to go, so she fell into a bottomless valley. When she woke up after falling, Yan Ling opened her eyelids slightly. It was already dawn outside, but she was still too sleepy to get up. She fell asleep again, and when she woke up again, the room had become It was so bright that she didn't even have time to change her clothes. She almost fell asleep last night. She rubbed her eyes and then went to draw the curtains. It was raining lightly outside and the sky looked gray.
Yan Ling scratched her hair. She opened the door and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she passed by the living room, she saw Pei Yunchuan sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. It was 8:20 in the morning, and he got up early.
When Pei Yunchuan heard the noise, he raised his head and glanced at Yan Ling. He nodded and smiled at Yan Ling and said hello: "Good morning, it's very cold outside today. You should keep warm."
Yan Ling thought of what he said last night, so she seemed a little embarrassed. She didn't answer Pei Yunchuan's words and hurriedly went over there to wash up.
When she came back from brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth, fresh breakfast was already placed on the dining table. Pei Yunchuan also put down the newspaper and waved to her: "Come over and have breakfast together."
"I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself." Yan Ling went back to her room a little uneasily. The rubber band was broken and she couldn't tie her hair, so she had to let her hair hang loose. She took a long black down jacket from her suitcase. Come out and put on your clothes. After packing up, prepare to leave.
As soon as she opened the door, Pei Yunchuan stood guard at the door and blocked her way: "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you. I have to go to work in the afternoon and it's time for me to go back." Yan Ling didn't look directly into his eyes and looked very polite.
"Yan Ling!" Pei Yunchuan reached out and took Yan Ling's arm. He looked at Yan Ling with burning eyes and said very gently: "Don't leave."
Yan Ling trembled slightly, but still answered him very politely: "Thank you for your hospitality, I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
"What I said last night was sincere. I'm glad..."
Yan Ling didn't let him speak, but interrupted him directly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Pei Yunchuan's hand on her arm gradually loosened, and he helped Yan Ling pull the suitcase. He didn't seem to be angry. He said to Yan Ling, "I'll give it to you."
Yan Ling thought that he had just been discharged from the hospital and his body had not fully recovered, so she felt a little unbearable: "No, it's the same if I go out to take a taxi. You need to rest."
"I've just turned thirty. A minor illness like this can't knock me down. Don't worry, I'm fine." Pei Yunchuan insisted on helping Yan Ling lift the box to the first floor, and then asked Yan Ling to wait at the door while he went to the basement. drove the car out of the parking lot.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of Yan Ling, and Pei Yunchuan came over to help her carry her things into the car.
It was drizzling outside and the temperature was still below freezing. The cold and dampness was even more unbearable.
Pei Yunchuan drove the car out of the gate and headed all the way to where Yan Ling lived.
Because of the light rain, there were no pedestrians on the street and it seemed a bit deserted. When Yanling got out of the car at the Jinxiu intersection, Pei Yunchuan said, "The weather is bad and it's not convenient for you to drag the box alone. I'd better send you home. Tell me the specific address."
Yan Ling had no choice but to tell him. After passing the intersection, she turned left, then drove into a branch road, made another turn, and then entered the community where Yan Ling lived. After parking the car, Pei Yunchuan also came down. He helped to carry the box upstairs, but Yan Ling stopped him and said, "I'm not as delicate as you think, I can do it myself."
But Pei Yunchuan insisted on helping, and Yan Ling had no choice but to let him go. After reaching the floor where she lived, Yan Ling took out the key and opened the door.
When he arrived at the door, he naturally asked Pei Yunchuan to come in and sit for a while.
This was also the first time Pei Yunchuan visited Yan Ling's house. He glanced at the whole house and asked, "Do you live alone?"
"Yes, it's a bit cramped, but it's enough for me. You can go sit over there on the sofa." Yan Ling moved the box into her room. Here she rushed out to greet him again. She poured water and took out a few apples from the refrigerator.
"Where will Mr. Pei celebrate the New Year?" We have to find something to talk about, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing to sit there like this, so Yan Ling spoke first.
"It's right here. Dad said he'd be back as soon as he gets the holidays. What about you, do you want to go home?"
"Of course, I miss them so much after not going back for so long. The Chinese New Year is the most important festival of the year for the Chinese people. I want to reunite with them even if they have money or not, and go home to celebrate the New Year."
Yan Ling did not sit on the sofa, but stood by the window sill to communicate with Pei Yunchuan. Her politeness made them look very distant.
Pei Yunchuan looked at her and said to her gently: "Yan Ling, I meant what I said last night. In fact, you don't need to avoid me. I just want to tell you my feelings completely. You You don’t have to respond.”
Finally, the topic came to this. Yan Ling also wanted to take the opportunity to make it clear to Pei Yunchuan what she was thinking. Pei Yunchuan was her superior, and she would need to cooperate in future work. She couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to, so she might as well talk it out. : "Is it because I look like a certain person? Although I don't think I look like him at all, you may have misjudged me."
Pei Yunchuan was a little surprised, and she knew it: "It's not what you think. Although I admit that I selected you because the photo on your resume is somewhat similar to hers, my liking has nothing to do with other people. , you don’t have to think too much.”
He said this, and it was difficult for Yanling not to associate her with Li Tianhui. She lowered her eyebrows and said, "I am not someone else's substitute. I am who I am. I am Xu Yanling, that's all."
Pei Yunchuan stood up, walked to Yanling and said to her: "I know you are Xu Yanling, and I didn't make any mistake. What impressed me was not who you looked like, but your gentleness and generosity. Please forgive me for this." You must understand. I am not empty enough to find a replacement."
This was his explanation. Yan Ling lowered her hands by her side and listened carefully to what he said. She did not interrupt him. After that, she said: "Mr. Pei, thank you for your love, but I don't want to fall in love yet. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just keep you company, as long as you don't avoid me." Pei Yunchuan could clearly see his feelings. He just had a good impression of Yan Ling, and then he was moved by her tenderness, and he had a faint liking for her. But even so, he really wanted to convey this feeling of love to her.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 184 Farewell Chapter 184 Farewell
Faced with Pei Yunchuan's confession, Yan Ling felt calm. She had no special feelings for this man. She only hoped that the two of them could cooperate well at work in the future, and did not want other things to be mixed in to affect her work.
Pei Yunchuan only sat in Yan Ling's residence for a while. Worried that Yan Ling would be annoyed, he insisted on leaving even though it was raining lightly outside.
Yan Ling took a nap after he left and still went to work in the afternoon.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and I have to finish some work in a hurry, and I have to help with the 1998 plan. After a few days of business trip, a lot of work piled up on my hands. Yan Ling sorted out a document that needed to be signed and went to find Pei Yunchuan to sign, but Pei Yunchuan was not in the office. Kong Ling passed by and gently patted Yan Ling on the shoulder and said to her: "I heard that the boss went to Mr. Wang's office. .”
"Then I'll have to come back later." Fortunately, this document was not waiting to be used, so Yan Ling and Kong Ling returned to the main office together.
Kong Ling whispered to Yan Ling, "I heard that the boss may be leaving."
Yan Ling was extremely surprised. She asked puzzledly: "I want to leave, where are we going?"
Seeing Yan Ling's panic, Kong Ling couldn't help but smile and said: "Why are you nervous? I've heard about it too. I guess he won't come back to work after the Spring Festival. I heard from the old employees in the department that the boss was invited back by Mr. Wang." The boss only agreed to a one-year deadline for putting out the fire. Now that the deadline is up, he may leave. Manager Yu was called over by Mr. Wang in the morning to arrange work. Manager Yu may be promoted to Manager Yu soon. "
Yan Ling thought to herself, is he going back to France? Since he was going back to France to see his Tianhui, why did he still say that to her? She felt a little depressed, feeling helpless that she had been teased.
Pei Yunchuan didn't come back until he was about to get off work. Yan Ling hurriedly went to him to sign, but Pei Yunchuan and Yu Qinghan were talking about work. It was inconvenient to interrupt them when they were talking about work, so Yan Ling had to wait.
Kong Ling was about to get off work and was busy saying goodbye to Yan Ling, who waved to her.
"Are you going to work overtime again today?" Kong Ling was a little confused.
Yan Ling said: "I'm still waiting for the signature. Once signed, it will be sent to the technical department early tomorrow morning."
Kong Ling smiled and said, "Then just wait."
Yan Ling neatly arranged some office items on the table. The light was still on in the small office over there, and she could vaguely hear the conversation between the two. Pei Yunchuan must be handing over work to Yu Qinghan, Yan Ling thought to herself.
Yan Ling had no right to interfere with the personnel changes in the department, nor did she have the right to ask whether Pei Yunchuan wanted to leave. For Yan Ling, no matter who is the department manager, as long as it does not affect the start of new projects.
Another half hour passed, and the sky was completely dark, with little stars lighting up in the distance. She saw Yu Qinghan coming out, and Pei Yunchuan should be free now. Yanling grabbed the document in her hand and hurried to Pei Yunchuan's place. He took out the coat hanging on the shelf and had already worn it halfway. Suddenly he saw Yan Ling rushing over, and he was a little surprised.
"Manager, there is a document here that needs your signature and confirmation. It must be handed in tomorrow morning." Yan Ling's tone was as calm as usual.
Pei Yunchuan took the document and read it carefully. He needed further confirmation. Yu Qinghan passed by the door. He glanced inside and said hello: "Boss, I'm leaving first."
Pei Yunchuan nodded slightly. He had already read the first page, and then looked at the second page. He repeatedly confirmed several key data, and finally signed his name at the end.
Pei Yunchuan handed the document back to Yan Ling, who took it and bowed slightly before going out.
Pei Yunchuan put on his coat, then stood by the window and looked into the distance for a few times, then took the key and turned off the light and went out. I happened to meet Yan Ling who was getting off work at the same time.
Yan Ling greeted him: "See you tomorrow."
"I'll give it to you." His tone was a little cold and a little firm at the same time.
The two walked in tandem, and Yan Ling kept up with him.
The light rain finally stopped. For someone who had just come out of the air-conditioned room, the winter night wind was biting and cold, and Yan Ling couldn't help but shiver. Pei Yunchuan asked Yan Ling to wait for her where she was while he drove over.
Only when she got into the car did Yan Ling feel warmer.
Pei Yunchuan turned on the car's stereo and played some nostalgic American country music. Music was playing in the car, but no one spoke. It was not until more than ten minutes passed and the car entered the city and stopped at a traffic light intersection that Yan Ling asked: "I heard you are leaving. is that true?"
"Of course it's not fake."
Then why did you say such words to her? Yan Ling couldn't ask in such language. She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
When the light turned green, Pei Yunchuan released the brakes and continued moving forward.
The car did not stop when it reached the Jinxiu intersection and took Yan Ling to the downstairs where she lived. Pei Yunchuan pulled the handbrake but did not turn off the engine.
Yan Ling unbuckled her seat belt and said to Pei Yunchuan, "Thank you for sending me back."
When she was about to open the car door, Pei Yunchuan suddenly said to her: "If you are reluctant for me to leave, I can stay."
Yan Ling looked at him in surprise. The lights in the car were not turned on, and the light outside was also dim. Yan Ling couldn't see the expression on his face clearly at this moment, but judging from his tone, he didn't think he was smiling playfully.
"I..." Yan Ling seemed a little panicked. She didn't know how to answer her for a moment. Just when she was hesitating, Pei Yunchuan suddenly came closer to her and held Yan Ling's head with one hand. The two of them were almost cheek to cheek. She heard that She could smell the faint smell of tobacco on his body, and heard Pei Yunchuan whisper in her ear: "I'm serious, I'm not joking. As long as you say you'll stay, I won't leave."
"Don't be like this. You are free to stay or go. I have no right to interfere with your decision." This was Yan Ling's innermost thoughts.
"Really?" Pei Yunchuan's hand holding Yan Ling's head gradually loosened. He resisted the urge to kiss her, and just reached out and gently touched Yan Ling's soft hair.
Yan Ling said apologetically: "Sorry." Then she opened the car door and hurried away.
Pei Yunchuan sat in the car and did not get out, and of course he did not leave immediately. He sat in the car and watched the light in the window on the floor where Yan Ling lived turn on. He silently lit a cigarette.
Yan Ling stood behind the curtain and saw that Pei Yunchuan had not left yet. Her heart was pounding. This feeling was indescribable. She is not Li Tianhui, she is Xu Yanling, and she doesn't want to be anyone's replacement. Naturally, whether he stays or goes has nothing to do with him.
The two white cars downstairs finally turned around and drove out. Yan Ling stood at the window and watched him leave, feeling a long sigh of relief in her heart.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 185 Compliance Chapter 185 Compliance
After Pei Yunchuan sent Yanling home and exchanged a few words with her that night, the two of them never spoke in private again, and they rarely communicated even at work.
On the day of paycheck, Yan Ling received nearly 6,000 yuan. In addition to the double salary in the last month, there are also dividends from previous projects. Kong Ling quietly told Yan Ling that Yu Qinghan got almost 20,000 yuan, and even Chen Songyang got 10,000 yuan.
Yan Ling didn't say anything. After all, she came late and didn't participate in many projects.
On the eve of the holiday, the company did not go to a large restaurant outside for dinner. Instead, the company cafeteria was newly decorated and some drinks, fruits, snacks were added, and the dishes were much richer than usual. The company can be described as diligent and thrifty, saving after saving. Although the conditions are not as good as those of big hotels outside, everyone had a good time and the most important thing is that the atmosphere is good. Yan Ling also heard Luo Yue's beautiful singing voice for the first time, and then she realized that Luo Yue turned out to be a king.
After the dinner, Yan Ling received the red envelope that belonged to her. When she went home, she opened the red envelope and saw that there was 50 yuan in it. She should return to Yang County tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Lu Lihong called to confirm. At the same time, Yan Ling also called Zhengrong to ask if he was going home for the New Year, but unfortunately she did not receive a positive answer.
Although it's not officially New Year's Eve yet, there is already a sea of people waiting outside the station, and the line is already hundreds of meters away. It was already afternoon when I finally got home after a lot of hard work.
Lu Lihong tidied up Yan Ling and Zheng Rong's room early. Yan Ling's bedding was all newly bought by Lu Lihong. The quilt was pink and lace. Yan Ling really felt that Lu Lihong still had a girlish heart.
"Why isn't dad at home?"
"He won't have a break until the 28th. Recently, he has been giving extra lessons outside."
Yan Ling heard and said: "You don't have time to relax during the winter vacation."
"Yes, I told him to have a good rest for a few days, but he said that he was overworked and felt flustered when he was free. He was used to his own podium."
"But he has to retire in the future, and he can't risk his whole life on the stage. He is getting older, his throat is not good, and he still smokes. He should protect his body even more as he gets older."
Lu Lihong said helplessly: "He doesn't think he is old. He said he has just turned fifty, which is not considered old, and he is in good health. I talk to him about it every day and he doesn't listen, so I have to let him go."
The mother and daughter had not seen each other for several months. When they returned to this home, they enjoyed the meticulous care of their adoptive mother. Yanling ate and slept without her having to worry about anything.
In the evening, we finally met Chi Tianliang. Chi Tianliang was naturally happy that his daughter was back home. During dinner, the family couldn’t help but mention Chi Zhengrong. The family members were all sighing: “It’s not easy to find this kid. I want to go home and celebrate the New Year together.” , I didn’t expect him to be so busy.”
Lu Lihong's tone was a little sad.
Yan Ling couldn't bear her sadness, so she comforted her: "Zhengrong is successful now because he is too busy at work and can't go home. Mom, don't worry about it."
"After all, she is still the daughter of the Gu family. After raising her for more than 20 years, that brat rarely even calls home." Lu Lihong complained. At the same time, she also felt that God was treating her well. It didn't matter that she couldn't give birth to a daughter. God had rewarded her again. She is an extremely caring and sensible daughter. As long as Yan Ling is by her side, she is content.
After dinner, Yan Ling watched TV with her parents, and at the same time talked about the scandals about Zhengrong Nao.
Lu Lihong seemed dissatisfied with the news published in the newspaper: "I was so angry when I saw it, and I was still thinking about how Zhengrong found such a woman."
The woman Lu Lihong mentioned was naturally Rong Fengjiao. Yan Ling thought for a while and said, "Their band has also been on TV. Mom, you should have seen the bassist on TV, right?"
"I've seen him before. He looks neither male nor female, and he doesn't match his appearance."
Yan Ling thought to herself that Rong Fengjiao was pretty in terms of appearance, but Lu Lihong didn't like her, so how much pressure would Chi Zhengrong have?
"It's just stage makeup, it's not like that in life. Mom shouldn't be biased."
Lu Lihong suddenly understood, and she quickly asked: "Then they are really a couple?"
Those two people were once a couple, and now Zhengrong and Yan Chun are together, but no matter what Yan Ling says, she will probably annoy her mother. After thinking about it, Yan Ling can only say: "No, it's all those reporters who reported randomly, Zheng Rong Rong should have explained it to you, do you believe that the newspaper does not believe your son?"
This left Lu Lihong speechless, and Chi Tianliang suddenly laughed: "Why do you care so much? Zhengrong is not a minor who is still in school."
"I am the mother, I don't care who is in charge." Lu Lihong said confidently.
Before going to bed, Lu Lihong came to Yan Ling's room and told her something: "Go meet someone on the first day of the first lunar month."
Yan Ling had a bad feeling, so she quickly asked: "Who are you meeting?"
"Do you still remember Aunt Tang?"
Yan Ling thought about it carefully for a while before she remembered the Aunt Tang Lu Lihong mentioned: "Is she your high school classmate?"
"Yes, she has a son who is in the system and is one year older than you. I have seen photos, and he is a spirited young man."
Yan Ling almost choked. In 2020, a spirited young man is not a good word. She suppressed her laughter. Lu Lihong continued: "That young man is from a prestigious university and now works in a public institution in the city. Listen, He said his business skills are very good. I also showed your photo to your Aunt Tang, and your Aunt Tang showed it to her son and said she had no objection, and then we agreed to meet in the first year of junior high school."
"Then don't I want to go to the city?"
"No, no, it's agreed that they will come to Yang County. The location was originally set at our home, but I was concerned about your concerns, so we decided on Xinhua Park."
Fortunately, she did not choose to stay at home. Naturally, Yan Ling was unwilling to do so, but seeing Lu Lihong eagerly making arrangements for her, she finally nodded and agreed: "You asked me what I meant after you have made arrangements. I can't shirk it. But I If you want to speak clearly, mom, don’t have too much hope.”
"We haven't even met yet, so you just say this. What if you all see each other right? You can't explain fate. You should deal with it well. That Aunt Tang was your mother's best friend back then. You have to Face it well, you know?”
Yan Ling nodded silently. Has she reached the age where she must go on a blind date? She had just come out of school, but she still felt very young. She is about to turn 26, have she become a leftover girl in the eyes of her parents?
Lu Lihong said what Yan Ling should do. Yan Ling's suppleness and well-behaved made Lu Lihong very satisfied. She said: "You should have a good rest and be prepared in your heart. Mom will go with you then."
With parents present, it seemed impossible to escape.

Chapter 186 Chinese New Year Chapter 186 Chinese New Year
The day before New Year's Eve, Yan Ling went back to her grandparents' house with Chi's parents. The family reunion was very lively. Although those relatives didn't see each other a few times a year, they always got closer together during the New Year. .
The attitude of the elders was similar to that of Lu Lihong. They all thought that it would be better for Yanling to go to work in a company than to take the entrance examination. However, when faced with such questioning, Yanling just smiled. She had her own ideals and pursuits, so she understood.
After spending the whole day dealing with the care and greetings from the three aunts and six wives there, Yanling went home after dinner. Suddenly, Yanling felt that she was not as tired as dealing with relatives at work.
Chi Tianliang is a careful person, and even comforted Yan Ling when he got home: "Don't take what they say seriously. You are an adult, and the choice and decision-making power are in your own hands."
Yanling was very grateful for her father's open-mindedness. She said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about me. They also care about and care for me. I don't find it annoying, but they are not very good at dealing with it."
"That's good. There will be various parties in the next few days. If you feel bored, you can make excuses not to go."
It's so considerate. Yan Ling was moved to have such a father, and she shouted happily: "Dad."
In Chi Tianliang's impression, Yan Ling has always been calm and collected, but this is the first time she has seen her acting coquettishly like this, so her mood suddenly feels a little mixed. After all, she is just a little girl, but she has already lost her temper so early. He wrapped himself up and looked like an adult. The mood of raising a daughter is indeed very different from that of raising a son.
The next day was New Year's Eve. The Chi family went out early in the morning, while Yan Ling stayed at home to sleep. When she woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. She washed up slowly and took a few bites when she saw that there were still milk and bread on the table. After watching TV for a while, my parents came back.
It's a rare Chinese New Year. Although we are still a family of three like in previous years, the old couple are still preparing to prepare a table of meals. Lu Lihong started preparing the ingredients in the afternoon. Yan Ling wanted to step in to help, but Lu Lihong rejected her: "You should go and have a rest. You are afraid of the cold, and it is annoying to have greasy hands."
Yan Ling was kicked out of the kitchen, but Lu Lihong called Chi Tianliang to help. Yan Ling suddenly felt that she had become a guest when she returned home, and her parents were very polite to her. This feeling was not what Yan Ling wanted. She was not idle either, tidying up the house inside and out again.
It started to snow again before it got dark. Compared with the light snow that fell in the early morning last time, the amount of snow this time was much heavier.
Chi Tianliang pasted the Spring Festival couplets and Chinese characters written by himself, and lit up the red lanterns he bought. The New Year atmosphere was immediately highlighted.
Yanling helped set the dishes and chopsticks, and the food was served. It's just seven o'clock now, and there is still one hour before the Spring Festival Gala starts.
Chi Tianliang took his own wine and filled the glasses on the table with wine.
"Mom, come over and eat together. Don't worry about what's in the pot for now."
"Come right away, you can eat first."
The family of three sat together and ate together. The two elders of the Chi family had long been accustomed to Chi Zhengrong's absence. Yan Ling took care of their mood, joking and joking in all kinds of ways, so that they would not feel so lonely. .
Yan Ling had a drink with Chi Tianliang, but she had a drink with Chi Tianliang. Her face was red. Seeing this, Lu Lihong hurriedly told her husband, "Stop forcing her. Drinking too much is not a good thing."
Yan Ling also smiled and waved her hands: "Dad, I really can't drink anymore."
Chi Tianliang let her go and started to drink by himself.
The phone rang, and Lu Lihong hurriedly got up to answer it: "It must be Zhengrong. This guy knows how to call home." She walked to the phone and picked up the receiver. Before the other party could speak, she called He shouted: "Zhengrong, why don't you come back?"
There was a pause for two seconds before he said, "Master, I'm Jin Qiuhai."
Lu Lihong was stunned. It was not Chi Zhengrong who called back. She took the phone and said a few words, and then waved to Yan Ling.
Yan Ling wiped her hands and went over. After getting the receiver, she said, "Why don't you come back? Your parents really miss you."
"I have returned to my hometown. I will come to visit you when I have free time in the next two days."
Yan Ling was stunned, and then she realized that it was Jin Qiuhai on the other end of the phone.
"Didn't you say that you couldn't arrange a vacation in the emergency department? Why did you come back?"
Jin Qiuhai said on the other end of the phone: "Mother misses her son. It happened that I was missed during my shift schedule, so I have a few days off."
He was really filial. Yan Ling touched the phone cord with one hand and said slowly to Jin Qiuhai, "You must be quite busy during the Chinese New Year, right?"
"No matter how busy I am, I will come to visit Teacher Chi and you. Yan Ling has been separated for so long, and I miss you every day. No matter how busy I am, I will never forget the thought of you."
Faced with his affectionate confession, Yan Ling didn't react much. After Jin Qiuhai finished speaking, she said calmly: "It's the New Year. I wish you a happy New Year and all the best."
"Thank you, you also want to be happy." Yan Ling replied to him in a businesslike manner.
The conversation between the two didn't last long. Yan Ling hung up the phone. Lu Lihong was paying attention to the change in Yan Ling's face, but when she saw that she looked like nothing had happened, she knew that the two had not reconciled, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Yan Ling said to her parents: "You buy fireworks, I will take them off and set them off."
Chi Tianliang was worried that Yan Ling would go alone. He said, "I'll go with you."
Yan Ling said with a smile: "I'll just put a few small ones in, and leave the big ones for you later. You drink first, otherwise the food and wine will get cold. Wasn't it the same last year?"
Yan Ling went to pick up a few and went downstairs to set them off. There were many children setting off fireworks downstairs, and many of them were playing and playing very lively. In this era, there was no ban on fireworks in small counties, so there was still a bit of a New Year atmosphere.
The snow didn't stop, but it didn't stop everyone's enthusiasm. Yan Ling took a lighter and lit the fuse of a firework. The fuse was quickly lit and made a whooshing sound. Yan Ling quickly raised it into the air. At this time, Yan Ling felt that she still retained the youthful spirit. of innocence.
Soon one was over, and Yan Ling hurriedly went to order the second one. Just as she was holding it down, someone behind her suddenly wrapped her into a long coat. The man behind was very tall and had a thick layer of hair on his clothes. Tobacco smell.
Yan Ling held the fireworks in her hand and did not dare to move. She just asked him: "You were conducting a raid. Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"After I finished my work in the afternoon, I called back immediately, but unfortunately it was a little late. Why are your hands still so cold?"
Yan Ling quickly stepped aside. She handed the remaining fireworks to Chi Zhengrong beside her and asked, "Do you want to set them off together?"
(End of chapter)
Chapter 187 Reunion Chapter 187 Reunion
On that New Year's Eve many years ago, the two of them also set off fireworks together. They were only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, and it was Yan Ling's first year in the Chi family.
Chi Zhengrong took a firework and stretched it towards the burning one in Yan Ling's hand. After lighting it, Chi Zhengrong showed a proud smile on his face like a child.
They didn't take down a few sticks at first, but the two of them quickly finished them. Yan Ling and Zheng Rong said, "Let's go up together. My parents are so happy that you suddenly came back."
Chi Zhengrong picked up the suitcase at hand, and Yan Ling walked in front. Her steps became brisk, a bit like a proud little girl. Chi Zhengrong's long legs were not left behind by Yan Ling.
The door of Chi's house was ajar. Yan Ling turned around and made a silent gesture to Chi Zhengrong. Then she went to the door to change her shoes, and then said loudly to Lu Lihong: "Mom, I'm back."
Lu Lihong said with a smile: "Come in quickly, it's very cold outside. Is it still snowing?"
"Mom, someone is looking for you outside."
"Who is it? It's already late during the Chinese New Year. Who's coming to the door?" Although Lu Lihong didn't quite believe it, she still walked to the door and took a look outside. Chi Zhengrong suddenly stretched out his arm and gave his mother a big greeting. Hugging, Lu Lihong seemed a little unconvinced: "Zhengrong, Zhengrong, why did your kid come back?"
After several days of spinning, Chi Zhengrong was exhausted. However, when he hugged his mother, he felt that the fatigue dissipated immediately. Chi Zhengrong hugged his mother and said softly: "I'm back, Mom, let me You’re worried.”
Lu Lihong was sure that the person in front of her was her good son. She was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Chi Zhengrong into the house. Chi Tianliang was having a drink alone when he suddenly saw his son coming back. He also stood up from his seat. He seemed a little unconvinced.
"Dad!" Chi Zhengrong still had a bit of awe when facing this father. Perhaps it was a habit he had developed since he was in school. Even if he no longer goes to school, it is difficult to change.
"As long as you're back, come and have a drink with me." Chi Tianliang greeted.
Seeing her son stunned, Lu Lihong pushed him and said, "Go, your dad is calling you."
Chi Zhengrong left, Yan Ling was busy getting another cup, and Lu Lihong hurriedly took some cold dishes to the stove to heat them up.
The house became lively again. Yan Ling saw the real smiling faces of her parents, and looked at Chi Zhengrong with relief. It was great that he could come back to celebrate the New Year. The house has not been so lively for many years.
The most popular song in this year's Spring Festival Gala was "Meet in 1998" jointly sung by the two divas. 1998 was a new beginning for Yan Ling and the Chi family.
The wind and snow outside have not stopped, but the Chi family seems particularly warm and happy.
Chi Tianliang drank a little too much tonight, but he was really happy. When the clock struck zero o'clock, Chi Tianliang could no longer move, so Zhengrong asked Yan Ling to go down together to set off large fireworks and firecrackers. Lu Lihong was busy tidying up the house.
Yan Ling has been reminding Zhengrong: "Be careful!"
Zhengrong grinned and said, "I'm not afraid, just stand by and watch."
After the fuse was lit, there was a whooshing sound, and a little fire rushed into the night sky. Then with a sound, a yellow firework bloomed in front of them, illuminating Yan Ling's face.
"Will you bring Yan Chun home in two days and introduce him to his parents?"
Chi Zhengrong said: "We haven't planned to that point yet. I haven't contacted her for several days."
"If you don't contact her, aren't you afraid that she will have opinions?"
Zhengrong said: "I'm too lazy to care about her. I'm too busy with my work. If you can't bear this loneliness, I have nothing to say."
Although the two have been dating for so long, has Zhengrong still not truly fallen in love with Yanchun? Yan Ling didn't dare to ask this question.
When the fireworks and firecrackers were all set off, the air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of sulfur. Yan Ling couldn't stand it anymore, so she called Zhengrong back.
Chi Tianliang was already lying on the bed. When Lu Lihong saw Yan Ling, she also urged her to go to bed: "Don't stay up too late, there are still things to be busy with tomorrow."
Yan Ling almost forgot about going on a blind date. She nodded in agreement, and Zhengrong asked from the side: "Isn't it the first day of junior high school tomorrow? It happens to be a time for fun, what can be done?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Lu Lihong also urged Zhengrong to go to bed.
However, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside was like thunder, making it so easy to fall asleep. Yan Ling lay on a warm and comfortable bed, unable to fall asleep even with the lights turned off.
The next day Yan Ling was woken up by Lu Lihong: "Get up quickly, it will be ten o'clock soon."
The warm and comfortable quilt was like two big warm hands holding Yan Ling, preventing her from getting out of the quilt. When her mother woke her up, she was too embarrassed to go back to sleep, so she rubbed her eyes and sat up. Lu Lihong quickly handed over the breakfast. The cooked porridge and the steamed buns sold by the store opposite the community that Yan Ling loved to eat.
"I'm going out to eat." Yan Ling was a little embarrassed to have breakfast in bed, so she finally got out of bed.
When she came to the living room with breakfast, she saw Zhengrong sitting on the sofa reading comics. She was a little surprised and said: "You got up so early?"
Zhengrong smiled and said, "Is it still early? It's early to wake up at ten in the morning?"
Apparently she got up the latest. Yan Ling went to wash up first and then came back to eat. Lu Lihong came out and said to Yan Ling: "Don't forget Xinhua Park at two in the afternoon."
Yan Ling wanted to forget but was not allowed to.
Zhengrong's eyes did not move away from the comics in his hands. He asked, "Why are you going to Xinhua Park today?"
"It has nothing to do with you. By the way, why don't you go out to play today?"
Zhengrong said: "It's boring, there are people outside, and I don't want to go anywhere." He is different now from before, and it will be troublesome to be recognized when walking on the street.
Lu Lihong didn't want to worry about her son for the time being. She devoted herself to organizing things for Yan Ling: "Wear that bright red woolen coat that you bought two days ago. You look good in red, and it's festive. Just leave your hair loose and look gentle." Some, and I bought a new pair of boots. If you like them, you can wear them. I will help you put on your makeup later."
Yan Ling was a little confused by her mother's attention. She waved her hand and said, "It doesn't have to be too much trouble."
"Our Yan Ling is already good-looking, but after a little grooming she becomes even more outstanding. Don't exclude mothers from helping you. You will definitely become the key role today." What Lu Lihong wants to do most is to dress up her daughter. .
Although Chi Zhengrong's eyes were on the comic book, he quickly came to the conclusion after listening to his mother's words that Yan Ling was rushing to go on a blind date!
What's the matter? She really doesn't get along with Qiu Hai and is rushing to find another man for a blind date. Chi Zhengrong felt sorry for Yan Ling in his heart.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 188 The first day of junior high school Chapter 188 The first day of junior high school
Chi Zhengrong looked at Yan Ling with a playful look. His parents happened to be away, so Yan Ling said to him, "Don't look at me like that. I'm also riding a tiger and it's hard to get off."
"If you don't want to go, I can help you find a way to escape." Anyway, this kind of thing has happened before, and Chi Zhengrong will handle it well.
"No need, I agreed to go because of my mother. I don't want to see her sad." Yan Ling lowered her head and finished the porridge.
Because you don’t want others to feel sad, so you have to wrong yourself? Chi Zhengrong couldn't figure it out. In fact, Yan Ling didn't have to do this.
Yanling ignored Zhengrong. She silently packed up the dishes and went to wash up. She didn't go out in the morning and stayed at home watching TV. Naturally, Chi Zhengrong didn't go anywhere. He stayed in his room and played the guitar.
At half past ten, the doorbell rang suddenly. Yan Ling went to open the door. She thought it was her parents standing outside, but she didn't expect it was Jin Qiuhai. Yan Ling was surprised and said, "Why are you here?"
"Why not? I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to Teacher Chi. Is Teacher Chi at home?" Jin Qiuhai said and was about to enter.
Yan Ling did not stop him, but said: "He is in the study." Yan Ling bent down and took out a pair of slippers for Zhengrong to put on.
Jin Qiuhai still carried a lot of things in his hands. Yan Ling helped carry them into the house, and then went to the study to call Chi Tianliang. When Chi Tianliang heard that his favorite protégé was here, he hurriedly walked out without being able to sit still. Jin Qiuhai greeted Chi Tianliang with a smile: "Teacher Chi, happy New Year."
Chi Tianliang said to Jin Qiuhai with a smile on his face: "Happy New Year, happy New Year. When will you come back?"
"yesterday morning."
Chi Tianliang pulled Jin Qiuhai to sit on the sofa over there. Yan Ling hurriedly helped pour tea and brought out candies. Jin Qiuhai heard the sound of the guitar and asked hurriedly: "Is Zhengrong back too?"
"Yes, he came back last night." Chi Tianliang's smile never disappeared.
Yan Ling hurried to call Zhengrong out.
Chi Zhengrong was very excited after seeing Jin Qiuhai. The two hugged each other warmly. Not long after, Lu Lihong also came back, and Jin Qiuhai enthusiastically called his wife.
Lu Lihong originally had nothing to say to Jin Qiuhai, but Jin Qiuhai and Yan Ling broke up. He suddenly came here, what will Yan Ling do about the blind date? Lu Lihong looked embarrassed and went back to the bedroom first.
Jin Qiuhai was happily communicating with Chi Tianliang. Chi Zhengrong was waiting for a suitable opportunity to appear. Now this opportunity has appeared. He went back to the room to change into thick clothes, then put on a baseball cap and put on his clothes. He put on his scarf and said to his mother: "Mom, the three of us are getting ready to go out. You don't have to prepare our lunch."
Lu Lihong said hurriedly: "I want to go out, where should I go?"
"I don't know, just take a walk. Didn't you let me go out when I got up early? Qiu Hai happened to be here too, so we went out to hang out to see if we could see any old classmates."
"No." Lu Lihong interrupted her son: "Yan Ling and I are going out in the afternoon. You want to go out for a walk with Qiu Hai and leave Yan Ling here."
What's the point of that? Chi Zhengrong just wanted to rescue Yanling from the whirlpool of blind dates. He also insisted: "It's rare for us to get together throughout the year. Mom, just let us have our wish. We can have it on the first day of the new year." What's going on, let me see..." Chi Zhengrong's voice suddenly lowered a little, and he said close to his mother's ear: "I always feel that Qiu Hai and Yan Ling still have some fun, doesn't this create opportunities for them? Is mom dissatisfied with Qiu Hai?"
Lu Lihong looked at her son in surprise and quickly asked: "Is everything you said true?"
"Qiu Hai and I have been friends for many years. I naturally know what he is thinking. Mom, are you happy to see them get married? How about giving them a chance?"
Lu Lihong glanced into the living room and saw Jin Qiuhai and Chi Tianliang chatting happily. Yan Ling was sitting next to her without saying anything. From the back, they looked like a couple, but she promised Tang Xue to take Yan Ling with her today. In the past, how could I explain to others that pigeons were suddenly released here?
Seeing that his mother was already wavering, Chi Zhengrong hurriedly said to the side: "Mom, they both grew up together. Aren't they more at ease than people outside? I also know that you love me more now." If you love Yanling, why not give her the freedom to choose."
Lu Lihong was finally convinced by her son's words. She finally nodded and said, "You can go out to play, but be careful on the road."
When Chi Zhengrong saw that his mother finally gave in, he was extremely happy. At that time, he lifted Lu Lihong off the ground: "Mom, you are so kind."
He came to the living room and said to Qiu Hai and Yan Ling: "It's so busy outside, why sit at home all the time? Why don't you go out for a walk."
Yan Ling thought about her plans for the afternoon, so she said, "You guys go and play."
Lu Lihong came out and said: "Don't be burdened. Young people should go out of the house and don't stay bored at home all day long. Let's go play together." In fact, Lu Lihong wanted to stop Zhengrong and tell him not to be a light bulb.
Yan Ling looked at Lu Lihong in surprise. Lu Lihong pulled Yan Ling to her bedroom and told her daughter, "Go and play. I will arrange the rest. Don't put any burden on you."
"Mother!"
Lu Lihong smiled and nodded: "My good daughter, mother always hopes that you will be happy, so don't be too burdened and go ahead."
Lu Lihong took out the big red coat and put it on with Yan Ling. Just when she was about to encourage Yan Ling to put on makeup, Yan Ling refused: "No, I'm just going out for a walk with old friends. No need to be so formal." Yan Ling He opened the drawer, took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then carried a small satchel and prepared to go out.
Jin Qiuhai and Chi Zhengrong are already waiting for her.
Chi Zhengrong promised his parents: "Don't worry, parents, I will definitely bring Yan Ling back intact."
The three of them met and went out. The weather outside was indeed cold. Yan Ling asked: "Where should we go for a walk? School?"
Chi Zhengrong and Jin Qiuhai turned around and glanced at Yan Ling. Jin Qiuhai came up and asked her, "Do you want to go to our school?"
Yan Ling couldn't think of a second place. Chi Zhengrong wondered what was the point of going to school on the first day of the new year. He put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile, "Did Qiu Hai drive here?"
"yes."
"Then let's go to Luoping." Chi Zhengrong suggested.
"Luo Ping? Isn't it thirty kilometers away? Why are you going there?"
"I grew up in Luoping when I was a child. I know very well that there is an ancient temple there. I heard that the incense is very popular. Let's go and worship the Bodhisattva." Chi Zhengrong likes the countryside.
Yan Ling heard that she was not interested in worshiping the Bodhisattva, but she did not refuse it openly. She just wanted to go out to relax, and she could go anywhere.
When Jin Qiuhai saw that Yan Ling didn't speak, he thought she agreed, so he said, "Okay, but I don't know the way, so you have to help me."
Zhengrong smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter."
(End of chapter)
Chapter 189 Hesitation Chapter 189 Hesitation
Yongning Temple is said to have a history of almost three hundred years. Yan Ling stood under the thick ginkgo tree and stretched out her hand to touch the trunk. This is a big tree that has gone through three hundred years of wind and rain. Three hundred years is enough time to change dynasties and pass down generations. Human lifespan is nothing compared to these ancient trees.
It's a pity that only the bare branches are left in this season. I don't know how shocking it is when the leaves turn yellow in autumn.
As expected, many people came to offer incense, and the branches were covered with red ribbons, which were said to be used for blessings. Jin Qiuhai actually asked for one and tied it with his feet.
"Do you, a dignified doctor of medicine, also believe in this?" Yan Ling was puzzled by his approach.
Jin Qiuhai said: "Human beings must have a sense of awe. Without awe, they will become very scary." He clasped his hands together and silently made a wish, although Yan Ling did not know what he wished for.
"Where's Zhengrong?"
"He was listening to scriptures in the side hall over there."
Yan Ling was even more surprised.
After Jin Qiuhai finished making his wish, he said to Yan Ling: "I guess it will take a while for Zhengrong to come out. This mountain feels pretty good. Let's go out for a walk."
Yan Ling agreed: "Okay,"
She didn't like the atmosphere in the temple too much, mainly because the smoke lingering in the incense pool made her a little choked.
The two of them walked out of the mountain gate and headed up the mountain via another road. This mountain is covered with green pines and cypresses, and it is green all year round. Even in such a withering season, you can feel a sense of vitality.
Because it is a hilly area and the altitude is not high, it was easy to climb to the top of the mountain. There was a huge stone on the top of the mountain. Yan Ling walked over and sat down. She looked up and vaguely saw scattered villages at the foot of the mountain, as well as very unbusy small streets.
"When will you return to the imperial capital?"
"The flight is at 10 a.m. on the third day of the lunar new year. Then I have to work the night shift when I go back." Jin Qiuhai sat next to Yan Ling, and the two of them talked next to each other.
Yan Ling said: "Then you haven't played for a few days since you came back."
"It's good to be back. How can I expect anything else? The emergency department is already short of manpower and has to work 24 hours a day."
Yan Ling has seen with her own eyes how busy doctors are. After this year, it's time for them to get busy too. The boss suddenly has a whim to launch a perfume, and it will only take a few months from research and development to production line.
"What about you, how have you been lately?" Jin Qiuhai asked with concern.
"It's just so-so, it's still the same."
Her hand was obviously by his side, but this time Jin Qiuhai didn't have the courage to hold it. The long distance could really destroy a person's will. He was even less confident now. He tried to keep his mood as calm as possible. They were not lovers, and they were not Jin Qiuhai, who has been a good friend for many years, said: "Zhengrong told me that you were going on a blind date. What kind of person is he?"
Yan Ling was a little surprised. What had Zhengrong said to him? When asked, Yan Ling had to answer: "I have never seen that person. He is the son of her former classmate. I heard he is a civil servant in the system. He works in the city and he graduated from a prestigious university."
"The conditions sound good. How old are you?" Jin Qiuhai actually started planning for Yan Ling.
Yan Ling said: "It is said that he is one year older than me."
Jin Qiuhai frowned and said, "So you're already 26? How could such conditions be reduced to relying on blind dates? Have you seen me or any photos?"
Yan Ling shook her head, and Jin Qiuhai gave Yan Ling advice: "You must be cautious. If you notice something is wrong, leave yourself an escape route. Of course, I don't want the other party to be the second Han Yishan, I hope he can be a reliable person. , can give you the life you want.”
They have broken up and are back to square one. This meeting is different from the last time. Has Jin Qiuhai really let go? Yan Ling thought to herself, then why did he say that on the phone last night? Jin Qiuhai was like this, and so was Pei Yunchuan. Really, she messed with everyone. Yan Ling suddenly felt angry.
"My business has nothing to do with you anymore. You should take care of yourself." As soon as the words were spoken, Yan Ling realized that something was wrong, but there was no reason to take them back after she had said them. Jin Qiuhai obviously cared about her, but she said hurtful words, and Yan Ling stood up.
Jin Qiuhai also stood up, his eyes darkening: "You are right, it has nothing to do with me, but Yan Ling, even so, I still hope that you can find your beloved. I hope more than anyone else. You are happy."
Although Yan Ling was sitting in the passenger seat when she returned to the county town, she didn't say a word to Jin Qiuhai. She couldn't understand why this happened. Sure enough, they couldn't be friends after breaking up?
Zhengrong was talking to Jin Qiuhai along the way, talking about things that happened in school before. Yan Ling silently looked at the scenery outside the car window and was immersed in her own world.
After entering the city, Chi Zhengrong didn't want to go home immediately. He said to the two of them, "Let's find a place to have a drink. There's no point in going home."
Jin Qiuhai said: "It's up to me."
Yan Ling said, "I'm going back."
Chi Zhengrong thought to himself that he gave the two of them enough time to be alone, but the relationship between them didn't seem to have eased a bit. Could it be that the two of them were really out of luck?
Yan Ling didn't want to go, and Jin Qiuhai didn't cover her up. He sent Yan Ling home first, and then said to Zhengrong, "Let's go out for a drink."
Before Zhengrong left, Yan Ling said worriedly: "Zhengrong, drink less and take care of your body."
Zhengrong assured her: "It's okay. I know what's going on, so don't worry."
Yan Ling went upstairs, and Chi Zhengrong and Jin Qiuhai walked out of the community together.
"Hey, I worked hard to give you the opportunity, why don't you seize it? If you keep this up, she will really go on a blind date, will you really let it go?" Chi Zhengrong didn't understand what Jin Qiuhai was doing. Think about something.
"Are you sure? What am I sure of? She was the one who said we broke up. I have been excluded for a long time."
Chi Zhengrong stopped and said: "Qiu Hai, you are still a doctor. It seems that you have read too many books and damaged your brain. As a man, you can't take the initiative. You have to know that there are some things that you have missed." Opportunity to regret.”
He didn't know this. He was trying to change the regrets he had in the past. He was alone in the previous life, and it seemed that he was destined to live alone in this life.
"Let me ask you, do you still love her?" Zhengrong asked him for the answer again.
Jin Qiuhai's answer was straightforward: "Love, how can you not love."
"That's fine. As long as you still love her, as long as it's you, I'll be relieved. Just try harder to impress her."
It's not as easy as Zheng Rong said. He can't figure out a woman's mood, especially a woman from this future world. He can't figure it out. She was a little different from other women. She had always been very rational, and there was pressure from his mother. These restricted him, so he couldn't move forward and lost confidence.
"If you don't work hard, be careful of someone taking advantage of her. She is also surrounded by excellent men. You may not be able to win against him." When Chi Zhengrong said this, Pei Yunchuan was in his mind.

Chapter 190 Frankness Chapter 190 Frankness
"There is no shortage of men around her. Of course I know this, but there is no substantial progress, otherwise I wouldn't go on a blind date." At this point, Jin Qiuhai is still analyzing the current situation with a clear mind.
"Hey, hey, don't look like you have everything figured out by yourself. You've been like this since you were in school. To be honest, I can't stand you being like this. Do you think you have everything under your control? Actually, I don't think so." Chi Zhengrong couldn't figure out what Jin Qiuhai was up to.
Zhengrong's words hit the mark, Qiu Hai didn't know clearly in his heart, but the anguish in his heart may not be clear to others: "Hey, do you still want to drink this wine?"
"Drink, why don't you drink." Zhengrong heard that there was a bar not too far away from here, so he took Jin Qiuhai there with him.
Yan Ling, who had finished her activities early, returned home. Chi Tianliang was at home. Chi Tianliang was a little surprised to see Yan Ling come back alone: "Where are the two of them?"
"We went drinking, mom isn't home?"
"She went out after lunch and hasn't come back yet." Chi Tianliang said, looking a little bored when he stayed at home.
After Yan Ling heard about it, she went back to her room. Why did she say that to Qiu Hai? Qiu Hai obviously cared about her. After all, something happened to Han Yishan before, so his kind reminder was not wrong. In the end, my quick words misinterpreted his good intentions.
It snowed all night yesterday, and the weather was still gloomy in the morning, but it suddenly cleared up towards the evening. It's five o'clock, and Zhengrong and Qiu Hai haven't come back yet. Lu Lihong also called and said she wouldn't be back for dinner that evening.
Yan Ling got up and went to the kitchen to get busy. She made a meal for two people and asked Chi Tianliang to come out to eat together.
"Why are we the only two at home?" Chi Tianliang never left the study door.
Yan Ling said: "Zhengrong and the others went out to play. They probably won't come back until late at night. Mom seems to have some entertainment."
Chi Tianliang curled his lips and said: "What kind of entertainment can she have? She probably went out to play mahjong with some friends. Your mother has become obsessed with this in the past six months. When she retires, she will be at the mahjong table every day."
"It's a small gamble. As long as it doesn't get too big, just let her go. We're not with her, and you have a lot to do. She's bored at home alone. It's good to have friends to get together with. According to expert research, Appropriate playing cards can also reduce the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease."
"Small gambling for pleasure? I'm afraid that she will get into more trouble. If you are willing to persuade her, I'm afraid she will still listen to a few words." Chi Tianliang hates gambling, so even if he plays mahjong among relatives during the holidays, he Not very happy either.
The father and daughter had dinner together. Chi Tianliang's friend called to see him. Chi Tianliang hung up the phone and went out. Yan Ling stayed at home alone for a while and planned to go out for a walk.
The community they lived in was very close to the middle school. During the last semester of her senior year in high school, she came home almost every day, strolled around, and somehow ended up in front of the middle school. Because of Chi Tianliang, the security guard at the gate was very familiar with Yan Ling, and Yan Ling entered the school easily.
The setting sun shines in the west, and the four-story teaching building looks conspicuous under the setting sun. She went to the classroom where she once stayed. The door of the classroom was locked. Looking inside from the window, she saw neat rows of desks and chairs in the classroom, as well as the blackboard newspapers that had not been erased. This moment seemed to return to the early spring of 1991, when she was also preparing for the exam.
No one has a life as wonderful as hers, experiencing two identities and going through two college entrance examinations. The life we are living now was not what we had expected at the beginning?
After passing the teaching building, Yan Ling headed back to the former playground. In the past few years, the school's track was still paved with cinders, the gates of the football field were rusty, and weeds were growing wildly on the lawn. She remembered Yes, I once watched Jin Qiuhai and his team play football with Guo Hui. As soon as I closed my eyes, the noise from back then seemed to be in my ears. Has she reached the age where she starts to remember her? Adding up the ages of the two lifetimes, she is indeed no longer young.
The rays of light dyed Yan Ling's face red. She climbed up to the stand and looked to the west, only to see that the clouds in that area seemed to be on fire. The orange and red colors were mixed together, like an oil painting written by an artist, or like an oil painting written by an artist. A two-dimensional image produced by a computer.
After seeing the sunset and remembering the past, Yan Ling walked back. When passing by the corridor that was originally full of wisteria flowers, Yan Ling saw someone standing by the pool.
She walked towards him. Said: "Why did you come in too?"
"I'm here to see you." Jin Qiuhai put his hands in his pockets and looked back at Yan Ling.
Yan Ling walked up and took a look into the pool. There were no fish in the pool. Maybe it was because the water was cold, so the fish were hiding. The water surface was calm and calm. Yan Ling squatted by the pool, picked up a pebble and threw it into the water, which immediately caused circles of ripples.
"Don't take Zhengrong to drink so much in the future. You are a doctor, and he will definitely listen to what you say. What he needs now is to protect his throat. I'm afraid that excessive smoking and drinking will destroy his throat. I don't want him to It's just a flash in the pan, I hope he can stay popular for a long time."
Jin Qiuhai stood beside her and said, "You do care about him."
"It's natural. In my heart, he is just like my biological brother." This is Yan Ling's sincere words.
She threw the pebbles down, and sure enough, a red carp emerged from the water. Yan Ling remembered that she and Guo Hui once pulled wisteria flowers to feed the fish here. Unfortunately, the wisteria did not even sprout buds this season.
"You don't have to worry about him. He and I didn't go to the bar to drink, and he doesn't smoke much anymore. I think he has already listened to what you said. I was scolded by him just now."
Yan Ling was very surprised. She stood up. Jin Qiuhai walked out of the corridor, and Yan Ling followed his footsteps. The two of them slowly strolled around their former alma mater.
"What did he scold you for?" Yan Ling was surprised.
Jin Qiuhai smiled helplessly: "You said I am good at escaping. He was right. I got scolded by him, so I came to find you." After walking a few steps, Jin Qiuhai saw a bench not far away. He walked over and sat down, but Yan Ling did not sit on the same stool as him.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hurt your heart by saying those words at that time. I know you cared about me and were worried that I would meet the second Han Yishan again, but I didn't know what was wrong." Yan Ling first admitted her mistake to Jin Qiuhai.
Jin Qiuhai was slightly surprised, and quickly said: "You don't need to apologize to me, you really don't. I couldn't face my inner thoughts, so I was scolded by Zhengrong. He was right. Yan Ling!" Jin Qiuhai said He took Yan Ling's hand and asked her to sit with him.
"I take back all those words I said against my will. I don't want you to go on a blind date, because I still love you in my heart. Even if there is no chance of winning, I still love you. I won't run away this time." Jin Qiuhai expressed his feelings to her. .
