The right way to rescue someone who has been out of the closet

Chapter 51 4 people

After that, Tan Qin really reduced his workload, but he went to Limei to find Fei Yuande more often.Sometimes on weekends, when he goes to public welfare medical science lectures, Ye Lan will also go with him.Between work and life, Qin Qin skillfully maintained the balance between the two, and Ye Lan felt very satisfied.

"Actually, I never thought that I would become like this one day." Ye Lan lay on the table, flipping through the medical lecture brochure she just got, and suddenly felt emotional.

Qin Qin was leaning on the bed and reading a book, and asked casually, "What do you think?"

Ye Lan thought about it carefully. In the dark and dull days, he had imagined the bright and splendid future countless times.He had thought about it a lot, even thought of very detailed details, but now when he recalled it, he was at a loss, as if it didn't exist.

"Strange, I can't remember." Ye Lan muttered, pointing to "Caring for Prostate, Benefiting Sexual Life" in the brochure and asked, "Is this your lecture? I want to go."

"Hmm. Why are you so interested in my lecture now?"

"Our company Wanhua's order will be delivered soon. Mr. Fei has a meeting today, so that we can think about the design theme of the new issue." Ye Lan studied the brochure over and over again, "I'm going to design a set of reproduction concepts. Jewelry advocates a healthy life, so you have to learn it first."

Qin Qin raised his head from the page and looked at it meaningfully: "Do you need an expert to teach you in person?"

Ye Lan blushed, and was about to say something when her phone rang.He glanced at the number, dropped the brochure, picked up his phone and went to the balcony.

The call was from Ye Ying. During this period of time, Qin Jianbai was running around the company's hospital, so he seldom had time to accompany her.Ye Ying had low self-esteem when she found out about the Wen family, but now that she has been left out in the cold, she is even more shaken.It just so happened that Tan Qin was also busy a while ago, and Ye Lan had nothing to do, so she took time to eat and go shopping with her from time to time.Now that Qin Qin had arranged the time, Ye Lan's balance could not help but tilt towards the male god, and she hadn't looked for Ye Ying for a while.

He picked up the phone with a guilty conscience and heard that Ye Ying was like a young girl, chattering endlessly about whether this relationship should continue or not.This was the first time Ye Ying made a phone call to talk to him about her emotional troubles. Ye Lan was unprepared, and listened to her complaining for two hours, but she was so anxious that she couldn't speak at all.

Ye Ying has had many boyfriends, so many times that Ye Lan can't remember clearly, but every relationship of hers starts and ends quietly, and she never specifically informs him.Ye Lan can only judge her single status by the smell of perfume on her body. He doesn't care about her feelings, and she doesn't take the initiative to talk about it.If it wasn't because Ye Ying's boyfriend happened to be the father of the male god this time, Ye Lan wondered if he and Ye Ying would still maintain the original distance, like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

After Ye Ying vomited her bitterness, she let out a long sigh of relief: "It's much more refreshing after telling you, even if we really broke up, I will admit it."

Ye Lan was very skeptical: "Are you really feeling better? I don't know how to comfort you, but I don't think Uncle Tan is the kind of person who always gives up."

"Well, I've been here for so many years, and I'm used to it. It's okay. On the contrary, I'm very grateful that you can listen to me."

"What are you grateful for? I didn't do anything." Ye Lan thought of her former boyfriends. If she had had experience earlier, she wouldn't be so at a loss.He tentatively said, "Actually, you can tell me that before, and it also gave me some comforting experience."

Ye Ying was silent for a while, then said, "I didn't dare before."

Ye Lan choked on her last sentence, and hung up the phone embarrassingly.

Back in the living room, seeing Tan Qin's idle appearance, Ye Lan walked over to sit beside him, and told him about Ye Ying's worries.At the end, he asked, "Why aren't you worried at all?"

Tan Qin lazily turned a page: "Don't worry, trust your stepfather."

Ye Lan glared at him: "Do you know something?"

Tan Qin leaned over and kissed him: "I don't know anything."

In the end, of course, they failed to break up.On the weekend when the wedding ring was delivered, Qin Jianbai immediately took Qin Qin and Ye Lan to the Taobao warehouse in the suburbs.His movements were so fast that Ye Lan had an illusion that he had everything ready and only owed a wedding ring.

Qin Jianbo held a large bouquet of pink roses, knelt on one knee and said affectionate words, the wedding ring was hung on a pink balloon, and floated towards the surprised heroine.

Ye Lan and Qin Qin stood side by side, each holding a bunch of pink heart-shaped hydrogen balloons as background boards.He watched Ye Ying crying with all her makeup on, and suddenly realized that in all these years, he had only seen Ye Ying cry three times.

The first time she knew that he was not doing well in school, fighting with classmates and being bullied, Ye Ying remained silent and raised her head in silence.Ye Lan sat on the side, from his angle, just saw Ye Ying's tears slipping down between her fingers.

The second time was when he quarreled with Ye Ying and deliberately irritated her. Ye Ying really cried, very pitifully.Ye Lan even once thought that she was not really sad, but pretended to show weakness in order to win the sympathy of her own son.

The third time was after Tan Qin got into a car accident, he almost forgot how he felt at that time, only remembering Ye Ying clutching his arm desperately, repeating "it's not your fault" over and over again.Why was she crying then?Are you afraid of committing suicide?Ye Lan is still unknown.

In Ye Lan's impression, he always thought that Ye Ying became very squeamish and cried a lot after she became rich.But if you do the math, if you have only shed tears three times in the past 20 years, it is really not a crybaby.What's more, every time Ye Ying's tears are related to her.

In a joyous and festive atmosphere, he suddenly felt a little sad.Why have I never noticed it before?Obviously, he should protect Ye Ying's smile the most, until he entrusts her to a trustworthy person.Over the years, however, he seems to have done a terrible job.He and Ye Ying tugged and resisted, separated by a strange distance, and remained stalemate until now.She didn't cry often, so he really thought that she wouldn't get hurt.

He may never have complained about his miserable life experience, but occasionally, Ye Lan would feel the injustice of God.God did not give him a father, nor did he give him a lover, but left him with an incompetent mother who made him walk very hard every step of the way.Whenever he walks alone in the thorny swamp, he has been disheartened and despaired.But in fact, God never refused his request, just let him wait.Wait until he learns how to love, then give him the best of everything.

He regretted that he hadn't figured it out earlier and wasted a lot of time.

A warm palm reached out to hold his, Ye Lan turned her head, Tan Qin's voice was tainted by the sweet atmosphere, it was incredibly soft: "What's the matter, are you unhappy?"

"No." Ye Lan blinked, gripped back vigorously, and followed his gaze.Not far away, Qin Jianbai gently hugged Ye Ying in his arms, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and kissed affectionately amidst the cheers and whistles of the people around.Ye Ying turned her back to this side, he couldn't see her expression, but presumably, she didn't cry anymore.

"Ms. Ye Ying's tears were finally shed for others, and she was just feeling a little emotional."

The marriage proposal was successful, and Qin Jianbai took Ye Ying to the honeymoon non-stop. After returning, Ye Ying contacted Ye Lan and said that she brought him a gift, and invited him and Tan Qin out for a meal together.

Ye Lan asked her: "Eat foie gras again?"

Ye Ying obviously had no alternatives, so she was stopped by his question: "Then what do you want to eat?"

Ye Lan thought for a while: "Don't go out to eat, I'll buy something to cook at home." As soon as he said that, he regretted it. His rented house was full of things, and there was no way to invite people to eat at home.

Ye Ying didn't care, and happily sent out the invitation: "Okay, okay, are you coming to my house?"

Ye Lan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

On weekends, he went to the market early to prepare the ingredients, and Qin Qin drove him to Ye Ying's house.Along the way, Ye Lan kept looking back at the ingredients piled up on the back seat, for fear of missing something.

When he turned his head again, Tan Qin glanced at him: "Are you nervous?"

"No." Ye Lan moved uncomfortably, "I might, I'm looking forward to it."

"What to expect? You haven't been?"

"No, this is my first time." Ye Lan didn't want to admit it, but considering that the relationship between the other party and his father was not very good, his psychological burden was much less, "Speaking of which, I moved out of the small single room back then. I haven't been to her new house since then."

Qin Qin pointed at the steering wheel with his finger, thoughtfully: "Small private room? The place where you ran away from home?"

Ye Lan recalled that chaotic rainy night, and suddenly felt embarrassed: "Um... yes. I'm sorry."

Qin Qin didn't speak, but reached out and stroked his hair while waiting for the red light to stop.

When they arrived at Ye Ying's house, Ye Lan immediately started to prepare and ordered Tan Qin to help him.Ye Ying didn't touch Yang Chunshui with her ten fingers, leaned against the kitchen door and watched him busy, and praised him in surprise: "Little darling, so you are so good at cooking?"

Ye Lan was embarrassed by her praise, and drove her out to set the tableware.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Jianbai appeared at the door on time, Ye Lan brought out the soup, and the family could finally sit down to eat.Ye Ying was still the same, showing affection while eating, while Tan Jianbai was serving her food, he chatted with Ye Lan about Limei's development, and asked him to ask Fei Yuande if he had any intention of cooperation.Tan Qin still didn't speak much, but when Qin Jianbo asked about the hospital, he barely answered.

The dining lamp above the head shone down, and the goose yellow light enveloped the figures of the family. Ye Lan peeked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and remembered the last time the four of them ate at the same table.A few months seem like a lifetime away, and the time that flows quietly seems like a dream.

Ye Ying gave him a chicken leg, and asked casually, "Is your work going well recently, baby?"

"This is probably the last time I'm free, and I'm going to be busy again soon." Ye Lan put down her chopsticks and frowned, "But a strange thing happened recently. I can't find one of my design drafts."

"What design draft, is it important?"

"It's very important...but it has nothing to do with work, so if you can't find it..." Ye Lan thought hard for a while, "Forget it."

"Then don't think about it, this chicken leg is super delicious, you should eat more." Ye Ying suggested earnestly, "How do you do it?"

"This dish is very simple, no failure for beginners. If you want to learn, I can teach you, don't eat foie gras, it's too greasy." Ye Lan was distracted by her, and gave up continuing to struggle with the design draft.

After eating, Qin Qin silently undertook the important task of washing the dishes, Ye Lan cut the fruit, and when Qin Qin came out of the kitchen, he turned to Ye Ying who was nestling on the sofa: "Do you want to learn the secret barbecued pork, pipa and chicken legs? There are just a few left for practice."

"Okay!" Ye Ying put down the fruit plate and followed him into the kitchen. Ye Lan turned her head and saw Tan Qin walking towards Qin Jianbo.Satisfied, he looked away, took out the remaining ingredients from the refrigerator, and instructed Ye Ying to prepare the sauce.

"Then deal with the chicken leg, wash it and scratch it a few times before it tastes good, and scratch it on all sides." Ye Lan picked up another chicken leg and showed her, "You need to use a little force, so that the bone can be seen deep."

Ye Ying didn't go into the kitchen all year round, and she only wanted to learn to cook on a whim. She did as he said, and the knife edge was crooked.Ye Lan couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the chicken leg and cleaned it for her, then brushed it with sauce.

Ye Ying stood aside and watched him deftly manipulate chicken legs one after another, and then looked at her shiny manicure studded with rhinestones, and quietly lowered her fingers to hide behind her back.

Ye Lan didn't pay attention to her small movements, wrapped the chicken legs skillfully and stuffed them into the refrigerator, explaining in a rambling manner: "It's best to marinate for a longer time, then put it in the oven and preheat it to 190°C, bake in the middle layer for a quarter of an hour, turn it over and then put it in the oven. Just bake for a quarter of an hour. Isn't it convenient?"

Ye Ying took two steps back and called him, "Xiao Lan."

Ye Lan paused, this long-lost address gave him the illusion of going back ten years.

Small single room, Roujiamo, him and her.

Closing her eyes slowly, Ye Lan turned on the faucet to wash her hands without looking up: "What's wrong?"

Ye Ying twisted her fingers, looking back and forth on the table covered with seasonings.It's already winter in the imperial capital, but the room with the heater turned on is as warm as spring.She wore a silk shirt and a black silk skirt, and painted a youthful and beautiful peach blossom makeup. Standing with Ye Lan, she looked like a brother and sister.

She didn't know what other mothers were like. She used to think that Ye Lan was his mother when she was born, but now Ye Lan's hands were covered with sauce, an apron was tied around his waist, and the chicken legs he had just processed were in the refrigerator.All this made her feel for the first time that maybe the role of mother is not like her.

"I..." She bit her lip and stammered, "Ah, actually, all these years, I, I always knew that I didn't do well, but I don't, I don't know how to love you more. You, don't blame me."

Ye Lan didn't move, and let the faucet rinse the sauce on her hands, as if she didn't hear her words.

Ye Ying waited anxiously.

Ye Lan blinked her eyes, and slowly washed her hands.He found a clean rag to dry his hands, then quietly walked towards her step by step.

Ye Ying lowered her head and dared not look at him.

Ye Lan opened her arms, hugged her gently, and looked sideways at the father and son who were chatting in the living room.

Ye Ying trembled slightly in his arms. He patted her thin back and kissed her hair: "You have done a good job. You are the best mother in the world, and I love you."

When Ye Ying and Ye Lan returned to the living room again, Tan Qin and Qin Jianbai seemed to have finished talking.Tan Qin stood up, warmed Ye Lan's somewhat cold hands, and asked him, "It's almost time, shall we go back?"

"okay."

Ye Lan said goodbye to Ye Ying and Qin Jianbai, and made an appointment for the next dinner party, and was dragged into the elevator by Qin Qin.

"Little baby!" The moment the elevator door closed, Ye Ying suddenly called out to him.

Qin Qin raised his hand to help him block the elevator door, Ye Lan turned around and asked with his gaze.

Ye Ying pursed her lips and smiled, leaning on the door frame and shouting at him: "Is there enough money recently? How are you doing? Is someone bullying you?"

This time Ye Lan didn't answer, he laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, he bent down with his stomach in his arms, and swayed and fell on Tan Qin's body.Ye Ying also laughed along with him, and the remaining father and son looked at the mother and son laughing madly for no reason.

Having laughed enough, Ye Lan wiped away her tears, and waved to Ye Ying and Qin Jianbai.Ye Ying leaned into Qin Jianbai's arms and waved. This time, she finally watched Ye Lan leave.

The elevator door closed slowly, and Tan Qin asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Secret." Ye Lan blinked and smiled. He had a hunch that this was the last time Ye Ying would ask these three questions. For some reason, he missed them a little. "By the way, what did you tell Uncle just now?"

Qin Qin shrugged: "Secret."

"Cut, stingy." The elevator door opened, and Ye Lan followed Tan Qin to the parking lot of the community, and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Ms. Ye Ying to have a girlish heart at such an age. Pink balloons give rings, and uncle also It's so romantic."

Tan Qin found the car and glanced at him: "You want it too?"

"I'm on the [-]th floor, how can a hydrogen balloon fly up?" Ye Lan calculated Limei's height, and suddenly realized, "No, how could I want something so girly! I'm a man !" Suspicious blush appeared on his cheeks, and he muttered again: "I don't want it!"

Qin Qin suppressed a smile, and lowered his head to unlock the car: "Understood, then let's watch "Doctor Strange" together next week."

"Okay!" Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "I'll buy the ticket."

The two sat in the carriage, and Qin Qin started the car.Amidst the roar of the car, Ye Lan glanced at Qin Qin out of the corner of her eye, then quickly turned her head away: "Well, I have a question to ask you."

"what?"

"Up to now, how much do I have in your heart?" Ye Lan tried to look forward, pretending not to care, "Is there a little more?"

Qin Qin couldn't help laughing, and stepped on the accelerator: "Is 61.8% not good?"

Ye Lan murmured: "Too, too little."

"Then... right now, 99.99%."

"Oh?" Ye Lan suddenly turned her head to stare at him, her eyes flickering: "Then there's 0.01% left?"

Qin Qin turned the steering wheel and walked out of the gate of the community before lazily answering: "There is still 0.01% for my dad."

Ye Lan laughed: "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't even give him 0.01%?"

Qin Qin also bent the corner of his mouth: "Only this, nothing more."
