Chapter 1: A New Beginning
"How's it going with your new partner?"
"That's it." Ye Shan stirred the coffee and said nonchalantly.
The sun was so good that it felt like a sin to be in a closed room.
Half an hour ago, Ye Shan asked Chen Qihua to drink open-air coffee, while enjoying the sunshine.
"It doesn't seem to be new at all, it's sad."
Chen Qihua drank coffee and shook his head, he always spoke so unceremoniously. He sat facing the direction of the sun, which fell evenly on his fair chin, appearing even paler. When Ye Shan saw him for the first time, she felt that he was very white, so white that women were jealous.
"Anyway, you're that kind of person, not salty or light, always slow and methodical."
"yes, is that so?" Ye Shan didn't know it herself.
"Don't you have any passion for love?" There seemed to be a trace of pity in Chen Qihua's eyes.
This made Ye Shan suddenly feel sad, sad that she had lost her enthusiasm for love.
"How so!"
She muttered absentmindedly, thinking that she had also loved someone passionately, but now she didn't want to remember. At the time, she thought that passion was endless and squandering.
It seems that this is not the case.
"You have a closed heart to love, you can't love like a little girl."
Chen Qihua's assertion blended into the chatter around him, and Ye Shan smiled helplessly.
If the conversation is going to go deeper, she should ask rhetorically: What about you? However, she didn't like to fight back with the same question, and she didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"yes, that's what I am. Loving someone unconditionally like a fool is too hard and too hard for me. She deliberately made the latter "too difficult" more serious.
"You're pathetic." Chen Qihua was more like a sigh this time.
Ye Shan didn't care.
Love or not, in her opinion, everything goes naturally, and she believes that she and Lin Qinghai will get along well.
Lin Qinghai is Ye Shan's new object.
The waiter walked by with a tray in his hand, leaving behind a new faint aroma of coffee.
"Thank you!" Ye Shan said softly.
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for having coffee with me on such a beautiful afternoon."
Ye Shan raised the coffee cup and smiled sweetly at Chen Qihua, her eyes curved into two crescent shapes, Chen Qihua said that she looked best when she laughed. Lin Qinghai also said so.
"Anyway, the coffee is yours to please." Chen Qihua echoed and smiled.
In fact, every time he said something, but when he paid the bill, he rushed to pay.
As soon as the lunch break was over, they said goodbye and went back to their respective companies. Get back into your own world.
However, Chen Qihua's words somewhat made Ye Shan's mood fluctuate.
When she got off work, Ye Shan saw Lin Qinghai's car parked in front of the company. He was always so considerate.
"Thank you for picking me up." After getting into the car, Ye Shan still said politely that she was not completely used to the relationship between them.
"No need to say thank you, you'll know later that I'm willing to do anything for you." Lin Qinghai started the engine.
Ye Shan smiled slightly. The man next to her is mature and steady, with a successful career, but not dull, and sometimes a little childish. He's good, almost perfect. Sometimes, Ye Shan herself feels that she is lucky to meet him, and she is slowly trying to settle down now.
"Let's go eat Cantonese food."
"You've made all the decisions." Ye Shan leaned back in the chair and said lazily.
"Sometimes, you're so cute." Lin Qinghai stretched out his right hand and stroked Ye Shan's head.
She liked his action, it was warm and reassuring. I decided to be with Lin Qinghai because of this feeling.
Warm and reassuring.
Maybe it's because a person has been drifting for too long, and when he encounters this feeling, he is reluctant to miss it. At that time, she even felt that this feeling was more important than love.
"It's good to have you." Ye Shan turned her hair sideways and said from the bottom of her heart.
"I think so too." Lin Qinghai smiled happily, when he laughed, there were a few deep and shallow wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, which did not look vicissitudes, but more attractive.
Ye Shan thinks so.
They have been dating for almost two months, and they go to different restaurants every time they eat, and the restaurants they have visited have made Ye Shan count them, and this is the first time to go to a Cantonese restaurant.
Ye Shan didn't tell Lin Qinghai that she likes familiar places and likes to see some familiar scenes every time she goes to eat. She didn't feel the need to say that familiar people were more important than familiar places.
Leaving the Cantonese restaurant, they went for a walk in a nearby park. Taking a walk after dinner is Ye Shan's favorite thing to do, and she feels that it is one of the great pleasures of life.
Content, laid-back.
Ye Shan summed it up like this.
"It's going to be a habit for me to live in the future." Lin Qinghai is a serious person, and his tone seems to be going to go with Ye Shan for the rest of his life.
Ye Shan lowered her head and raised her head, the sun was very good during the day, and the moon was also beautiful at night. She often wondered who would be the one who would walk with her under the watery moonlight when she grew old.
Lin Qinghai?
She didn't know, at least not sure.
"Move to me." Lin Qinghai turned around and looked at Ye Shan calmly, he said it after careful consideration.
Cohabit.
Ye Shan did not answer.
She didn't mind the men and women she was dating staying at each other's residences once in a while, but she hadn't thought about living together yet.
"I don't want to be separated from you for a minute."
This is Lin Qinghai's reason.
Ye Shan remained silent. She remembered that she had loved someone deeply, and it was the same, to the point that she didn't want to be separated from him for a minute. Despite this, she did not think about cohabiting with him.
That's all in the past, though.
"Didn't I scare you?" Lin Qinghai parked the car downstairs in Ye Shan's dormitory and asked softly.
Ye Shan shook his head, "The time is not yet ripe." ”
Hearing this, Lin Qinghai immediately recovered his spirits, and he was very worried all the way.
"I'll wait until the time comes."
Ye Shan squeezed the corners of her mouth. His tolerance and accommodation always moved her, but on the other hand, she felt guilty.
"Good night!" Lin Qinghai kissed Ye Shan's forehead.
It's early summer, and Ye Shan feels that in this romantic season, it's really good to have someone kiss her forehead like this and say "good night".
Ye Shan watched Lin Qinghai's car disappear from view, and then turned around and went upstairs. However, as soon as she returned to her room, she felt so lonely.
The early summer night was a little quiet, and the quiet wind blew from the window. Ye Shan was lying on the sofa with her clothes on, staring blankly at the light blue ceiling, like a child, and began to miss Lin Qinghai.
Two months ago, Ye Shan met Lin Qinghai on the train back from Hangzhou.
That day, she was very tired and a little sad, she was groggy and almost slept all the way, and when she woke up, she found her head resting on the shoulder of a strange man.
"A man's shoulder is for a woman to lean on."
The man responded to Ye Shan's apology so wittily.
He is not young, but he is not old either, and he has a vigorous handsomeness. This is Ye Shan's first impression of Lin Qinghai.
Before getting off the train, he insisted on Ye Shan's phone number, and they had a relationship from then on, and soon they began to communicate.
"Why do you like me?" Ye Shan asked Lin Qinghai like this.
He said because of the feeling of a heartbeat. She leaned on his shoulder that day, making his heart skip a beat.
Thinking of this, Ye Shan got up and poured a glass of water, she felt that all this was really wonderful. She went to Hangzhou to see a flower banquet, in order to fulfill a beautiful wish, to end the past, but she didn't expect to meet another beginning of her life so soon, a new beginning.
Although she still hasn't found the slightest feeling of her heart beating, she believes that there will always be, and even if it doesn't all the time, it doesn't matter. Because, she likes Lin Qinghai.
That's enough.
She walked to the window and quietly drank her glass of water.
