Lin Muxue looked at the white chrysanthemum in a daze, she stretched out her hand and wanted to take it off the shelf, but before her fingers touched it, she stopped all movements.

She quickly opened the door of the bathroom and shouted in the direction of the study: "Qin Lie!" ”

Qin Lie walked out with a slight frown.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Muxue pointed to the shelf, Qin Lie walked over, and then he also saw the white chrysanthemum.

"Did you put it? You said that you went to the cemetery, did you bring this white chrysanthemum back? ”

"It's not me!" Without too much explanation, Qin Lie directly took Bai Ju down: "It's not too early, you hurry up and take a bath and sleep." ”

Lin Muxue's lips moved slightly, she actually wanted to ask him to see what he could explain, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again. If Qin Lie wanted to explain, he had already explained it to her just now, but he didn't.

The bathroom door closed again.

In the living room, Qin Lie seemed to be calling someone. He kept his voice very low, and Lin Muxue couldn't hear it clearly even when he put his ear on the door panel. Only vaguely felt like he was arguing with the guy on the phone.

After taking a quick shower, Lin Muxue walked out wrapped in a towel. At this time, Qin Lie had already returned to the study, and the sound of thunderbolt bala's computer came from the study. She stood in the door of the study and glanced inside. In Qin Lie's hand, there was a professional book, and the patterns on the computer seemed to be related to surgery.

"I'm going to work overtime, maybe I'm going to be busy until late, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed by yourself."

Qin Lie didn't even look back, only turned a few more pages of the book in his hand.

Lin Muxue didn't say anything, just wrapped herself in a towel and silently returned to the bedroom. Instead of drying her hair and turning on the light, she went straight to bed and exposed herself to the dark.

A terrible cat meow pierced the silence of the night. Lin Muxue subconsciously looked at the window, the festive red curtains were hanging there, and the curtains were floating slightly, as if something was hidden behind.

She closed her eyes, pulled the quilt up, hid it in, and fell asleep in a daze. Half-asleep and half-awake, I seemed to hear the door open, and I felt that someone was sitting on the edge of the bed. She tried to open her eyes, but found that her eyelids were heavy, as if they were being suppressed by the heavy breathing.

When I woke up, I was still lying on the bed, surrounded by Qin Lie with a glass of water.

Qin Lie stroked her forehead, his eyes full of concern: "Are you better?" Does your head still hurt? ”

"What's wrong with me?"

Qin Lie didn't ask, but when he asked, Lin Muxue felt soft all over, the bones under her skin seemed to be a little sore, the sides of her forehead seemed to be being pulled by something, and even her voice became hoarse.

"I have a cold?"

As she spoke, she coughed lightly twice, and her throat hurt.

"Yes, I knew I had a cold." Qin Lie's hand was put down: "After taking a bath, it's just a matter of not blowing your hair, and you actually covered yourself in the quilt, and the window was not closed." Lin Muxue, did you do it on purpose? ”

"Deliberately what?"

"Show me that I am deliberately sick and let me know how bad I am to you."

"I didn't! I'm just ......" Lin Muxue looked at Qin Lie's eyes.

"Just what?"

"I'm just a little scared." Saying this, he shifted his gaze to the window: "Last night, I heard a cat meow, the kind that sounds particularly permeable. I was a little scared, so I hid under the covers. ”

"Are you still the Lin Muxue I know?"

"What?"

"Lin Muxue I know is someone who can go up the mountain with her mobile phone to find friends in the middle of the night, instead of hiding under the quilt when she hears a cat meowing."

"Go up the mountain...... Lin Muxue pursed her lips: "Go up the mountain because I couldn't be afraid at that time." Besides, with you, I don't ...... at all There is simply nothing to be afraid of. ”

"I was there last night, too."

"But you ignore me."

"Is this an accusation? If memory serves, I spoke to you all the time last night. But you're not willing to pay attention to me. ”

"Are you talking to me? You are cold to me, not at all like Qin Lie I know. ”

"I'm sorry." Qin Lie lowered his head: "If I give you such a bad feeling, I apologize to you." ”

"I don't want to apologize." Lin Muxue's eyes were red: "Qin Lie, do you really want to marry me?" ”

"I want to marry you, that's true, as for my heart...... If you have any questions about it, ask it yourself. ”

Qin Lie said, pulling Lin Muxue's hand to his heart. Under her shirt, she could clearly feel Qin Lie's strong and powerful heartbeat. His mouth pursed, but then he pushed it slightly.

"I'm not the Zixia Fairy, and you're not the Supreme Treasure, and I don't have the ability to drill into your heart and ask if there is me in it."

"That's right." Qin Lie said, the corners of his mouth were curved, "If I have you in my heart or not, you will naturally know in the future." Now, obediently drink the medicine. I don't want to stay on you all night. Do you know? I'm going to rush a very professional paper, because you're sick and all my work is on hold. ”

"Are you blaming me?"

"Why do you think that?"

"You said it yourself, you don't want to watch me all night."

"Fool, I don't want to guard you because I don't want to see you sick again." Qin Lie handed the medicine to Lin Muxue's mouth: "Open your mouth and take the medicine." After taking the medicine, get a good night's sleep. At the very least, get four hours of sleep. You're going to have to give me some time to finish my paper. ”

"Qin Lie."

"Huh?"

"This is our third day of marriage."

"I know. The dean explained that he was in a hurry, and I couldn't help it. You don't want me to go to work on the first day of marriage and get criticized, right? ”

Qin Lie said helplessly, Lin Muxue opened her mouth and took the pill down.

When I woke up again, the sun had receded, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the festive sheets, reflecting the red in full eyes. Maybe it was the pills that worked, Lin Muxue felt much better, and when she got up, she found that she was defenseless, and she didn't know where the bath towel she wrapped before going to bed last night went.

I took out my pajamas, thought about it, and changed into ordinary home clothes. When I walked out of the bedroom, I heard the sound of kitchen knives cutting things. Standing at the door of the bedroom, looking at the man who was elegantly controlling the pots and spoons in the kitchen, it seemed to return to the time when the two of them had just been ambiguous.

"Awake?" Qin Lie turned around and happened to see Lin Muxue, he stopped what he was doing, looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you better?" ”

"Much better."

"Want something?"

"What are you doing?"

Qin Lie spread his hands: "If you have anything in the refrigerator, you can do it, I just don't know if it suits your appetite." ”

"I'm not a picky eater, you know." Lin Muxue walked from the door of the bedroom to the living room, "Qin Lie." ”

"If you have anything to say, I'll ask after eating. You didn't eat breakfast, you didn't eat lunch, and dinner was all left. I'm afraid that if my answer isn't what you want to hear, you'll refuse to eat the meal I've worked so hard to cook. ”

Lin Muxue's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "Okay, let's talk about it after eating." ”

Qin Lie made a clear soup noodle with chopped green onions, carrots, green vegetables and two poached eggs. Lin Muxue tasted it and felt that it tasted good, at least it made her stomach, which she didn't feel anything, feeling hungry.

"This side?"

"My mother taught me, I haven't done it in years, and I don't know what it tastes like."

"Not bad."

"Thank you. I think my mother would be happy if she heard it. ”

"Because you have inherited your mother-in-law's craft perfectly?"

Qin Lie nodded: "Sort of." ”

Lin Muxue didn't speak again, on the one hand, because this bowl of noodles did arouse the hungry worms in her stomach, and on the other hand, because she didn't know what to say to Qin Lie next. She had a lot of questions in her heart, but she didn't know whether to ask these questions or not, and how to ask them.

On the third day after the wedding, or the second day after the wedding ceremony, Lin Muxue and Qin Lie were finally able to have a meal together like an ordinary young couple. It's just that this meal is still a little different from what I imagined. She once thought that they would be more sticky after marriage than before marriage, but she didn't expect that after marriage, they would be estranged.

Whether she knew too little about Qin Lie before, or Qin Lie hid too much from her before.

Seeing that the noodle bowl was at the bottom, Lin Muxue put down her chopsticks, pushed the bowl aside, and rested her hand on the table.

Qin Lie was also looking at her, as if he was waiting for her to ask a question.

"Didn't you really have a girl you liked before me?"

"If there were, I would choose to marry her instead of you."

"Yesterday, at the door, where you put your shoes, I picked up a petal of white chrysanthemum."

"I didn't see anything."

"What about Chrysanthemum? Is it yours? You said you went to the cemetery. When I visit my ex-wife, I think I'll bring some flowers. ”

"The lily I brought with me, that's one of her favorite flowers."

"Isn't it a chrysanthemum?"

Qin Lie shook his head.

"Then why do we have chrysanthemums/flowers in our house, and they are white."

"Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was something else."

"Anything else?" Lin Muxue asked step by step: "Appearing at the door, I can understand it as an accident." What about appearing in the bathroom? Was it also an accident? ”

"Prank."

"Prank?"

This is really an answer that surprised Lin Muxue.

"Qin Lie, I need an explanation."

"My ex-wife has a younger sister, but we haven't seen each other much. At that time, she was still young, probably in the second year of junior high school. Their sisters have a good relationship, and the sudden death of my ex-wife made it difficult for her to accept it for a while, and she always thought that I killed her sister. ”

"What does this have to do with Chrysanthemum?"

"Before we got married, I had a call from her. She questioned me why I had betrayed her sister. I explained, but she wouldn't listen. ”

"You mean, she put the chrysanthemum?" Lin Muxue stood up: "Does she have the key to our house?" ”
