Don't ask about the future

After listening to Dr. Liao talking about the situation of the three puppies, and then briefly talking about the process of negotiating with the manufacturer of the custom-made prosthetics, Yi Yun planned to contact the manufacturer the next day.Because I was concerned about Yan Wenqing, I couldn't calm down and focus on the matter at hand.

Walking out of the office, I originally wanted to call Zhang Wenzhi, but then I thought it was somewhere in the base anyway, so it would be better not to disturb Yan Wenqing's visit, and slowly searched for it by myself.

Yi Yun first went to the Behavior Correction Training Center, which is usually the first stop for visiting.After seeing that there were no two figures in the training ground, he retreated, turned around and planned to go to the backyard playground.The corridor zigzags forward, and when there is still an intersection that is about to turn out, Yi Yun sees a figure standing in front of the greenhouse with his hands behind his back from a distance, just like a leader when inspecting work.

The winter days were short, and the oblique sunset sun came in from the windows in the corridor, casting a layer of golden light on the figure's back.The long warm yellow hair was curled into a beautiful shape and casually draped over her shoulders.With the wind blowing, Yi Yun's heart felt itchy as if being caressed by the slightly raised hair tip.

Xu Shi felt the long-staying gaze behind him, Yan Wenqing turned his head, and caught Yi Yun's gentle gaze with a glance, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Finished?"

"Ok!"

Taking a step forward, step by step towards the person in the circle of light, Yi Yun's heart is like a puppet that has been pulled by a string, being taken away inch by inch.

Yan Wenqing was watching them rescue the fennec foxes in the greenhouse through the glass.

"The little thing has grown so big?!" Yi Yun exclaimed,

"A few months ago, when I first came here, I was as hungry as a palm. Its previous owner was really weird. Did Ah Zhi tell you how it came to us?"

"I told you. The owner is a vegetarian and forced his own fox to eat a vegetarian diet. He posted it on Moments to show off, but he was reported." Yan Wenqing frowned, "Why do some people take pleasure in raising wild animals in captivity?" ?”

"This question..." Yi Yun folded his arms and tilted his head and said, "I haven't thought about it for more than ten years. In the end, I just didn't think about it. Apart from doing my best to help, there are other things I can do. It is to call for protection and promote positive ideas as much as possible.”

"The root cause still lies in the country's propaganda and the popularization of laws." Zhang Wenzhi looked at Yan Wenqing, "Now the focus of food is to promote the original ecology and organic, and the focus of animal protection is to emphasize wild and rare, but to a certain extent it encourages crooked ways Hitting wild animals."

"It's really difficult for the government to be caught in the middle." Yan Wenqing replied with some helplessness. "If you don't emphasize it, you won't get attention. If you emphasize it, it will nourish bad thoughts. On the contrary, I think the root cause is still the lack of popularization of basic education."

"Aha! Go back to my business in three sentences. It seems that Minister Yan really cares about the interests of the common people all the time!"

"Azhi, you should accumulate some virtue!" Yi Yun pinched Zhang Wenzhi, "We're leaving today, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Director Yi, it's rare for me to see you protect food like this?!"

Zhang Wenzhi had a smirk on his face, and his eyes wandered recklessly between the two.

Yan Wenqing was embarrassed, turned his back, pretended to be serious and continued to observe the little fox in the special nursery.

The living environment of the fennec fox is in the tropical desert. This little guy was smuggled into the black market and sold at a high price to Xijiang, where it fell into the hands of its former owner.After the former owner was reported on charges of animal cruelty, the little guy was forcibly taken away by the police and sent to the base.The base has specially provided a high-temperature nursery room for it, and a commissioner observes and supervises its life every day.When its physical condition returned to normal, the base began to contact the Spanish animal protection agency to send it back to an environment suitable for it.

"Xixi will leave it to you, let's go."

"If Xixi doesn't return it to me, is she still going to be a light bulb for you? Take your wife and get out!"

"Oh! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yi Yun blushed, stared, and slapped Zhang Wenzhi on the back.Fearing that Zhang Wenzhi would continue talking nonsense, Yi Yun pulled Yan Wenqing and walked out.

"Minister Yan, go slowly, see you next time!"

"Thank you for what you said to me, see you next time."

Yan Wenqing nodded to Zhang Wenzhi with a smile, turned around and got into the car with Yi Yun.

It was getting late, and Yi Yun planned to take Yan Wenqing to dinner.There is a restaurant with a great view on Binjiang Road, which serves local specialties.There are small cubicles in the dining room, which are convenient for two people to have a private conversation.

After starting the car, Yi Yun wanted to ask Yan Wenqing how he felt after the visit in the afternoon, and what Zhang Wenzhi told her.But Yan Wenqing kept looking out of the window thoughtfully, with a preoccupied look, which made Yi Yun want to speak several times, but swallowed the words when they reached his lips.Thinking of Zhang Wenzhi's straightforward character, it must be that dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths.Before leaving, he called Yan Wenqing Yi Yun's daughter-in-law, and when Yi Yun thought about it, his palms were sweating.I don't know how Yan Wenqing felt after hearing this.

Ever since Yi Yun confessed his love to Yan Wenqing, the two entered into a default state.Although they were traveling together as a couple, none of them pierced the window paper of their identity.Yi Yun didn't dare to say that it was because of concerns. As for Yan Wenqing's thoughts, Yi Yun wanted to ask but didn't have the courage.

"Xiao Yun, I really envy you."

Yan Wenqing's words made Yi Yun puzzled.Yan Wenqing continued to stare out the window.Yi Yun couldn't see her expression, couldn't guess her mood at the moment.

"Why did you say such a thing all of a sudden?" Yi Yun was anxious secretly, "That guy Ah Zhi has a bad mouth, he doesn't know how to speak, don't trust her!"

"She didn't say anything excessive, don't worry."

Yan Wenqing leaned his head against the window glass.Yi Yun slowed down the driving speed.She was afraid of driving too fast, and the window glass shook violently.

"She just told me the story of you and Gao Shengxi."

Yi Yun breathed a sigh of relief, that's why.

"That's why I said I envy you." Yan Wenqing looked at Yi Yun, "Everyone around you loves you very much."

The corners of Yi Yun's mouth curled up. She was really grateful for this. God's arrangement sometimes made her feel that she was one in a million lucky.However, in addition to having like-minded partners in career, a person also needs spiritual and physical companionship in life.

"But you are more important than them all."

This is what she really thinks at the moment, and Yi Yun feels that there is no need to hide it.If it wasn't for the agreement between herself and Li Enze, she really wanted to take Gouzi and Yan Wenqing and elope to a place where no one knew them.Be serious, be normal, talk about a love that belongs only to the two of them.

Yan Wenqing didn't answer, and Yi Yun didn't need her answer either.Now that she chooses to face up to her feelings, she doesn't want to hide in her shell anymore.Maybe, she hasn't gathered enough courage to say those three words.But at least, she wants to be honest with her heart.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Yi Yun asked Yan Wenqing to look at the menu first.Yan Wenqing flipped through it several times, but couldn't get interested:

"It would be boring to eat light dishes in Xijiang, but tonight I really don't like it. How about you order two small dishes, and I'll accompany you, just eat a little."

"not comfortable?"

Yi Yun shook Yan Wenqing's hand, worried that she might not be acclimatized.

"I'm fine physically, but I'm not feeling well."

"Is it because of what I saw this afternoon?"

Yan Wenqing nodded, the three terrified disabled dogs, and the little fox whose body was deformed due to severe malnutrition during its development.They suddenly shocked Yan Wenqing's perception of this career.I originally thought that teasing cats and dogs every day was an extremely happy and simple thing, but when I took it as a business, there were so many heartbroken and powerless in the real scene.

"At the beginning, I also experienced a lot of anger, sadness and despair. But slowly I found that if I don't convert these negative emotions into motivation, apart from affecting my own emotions, there is no real meaning to what I do. So I Work harder, only by making yourself stronger can it be possible to fight for a more optimistic environment for them. Human beings have too much misunderstanding and ignorance of animals, and someone must speak for them in order to create a better living environment for each other. "

This is also a condition for Yi Yun to agree to deal with Li Enze. If their game wins, he will definitely find a way to seek legislative benefits for the animals she rescues.

Yan Wenqing reached out and rubbed Yi Yun's head, saying:

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Yi Yun was surprised.

"Thank you for letting me know all this, thank you for letting me see a more real you."

"Did you open the door to a new world?" Yi Yun couldn't help laughing.

Yi Yun was happy to let Yan Wenqing know more about himself.Since the future is not in her hands, living the present seriously is the only thing she can control.

Yi Yun ordered two light dishes and snacks, and the two had a simple and warm dinner.Walking out of the restaurant, Binjiang Road is very windy, and the temperature in January has not yet warmed up.The two walked a short distance along the river, and Yi Yun was worried that Yan Wenqing would catch a cold, so he insisted on taking her back to the hotel immediately.

"Is it the West Village Courtyard or the Jinjiang Hotel? I guess it's the West Village Courtyard?"

"How did you know I was staying in one of these two hotels?"

While starting the car, Yi Yun smiled mysteriously and said:

"Because my dad was born in the West Village compound 60 years ago!"

"Isn't your father a teacher?"

"My dad did become a teacher, but that was after he came out of the West Village."

"60 years! Then your father has..."

"The old man is 73 this year! Didn't expect that?"

Yi Yun blinked, seeing Yan Wenqing's surprised face, knowing that today was a day full of information explosion for her.

"My dad started working at the age of 16. His first job was in a state-level guest house in Xijiang. Given the conditions at the time, he could only be called a horticultural apprentice in the West Village compound of the guest house."

"So your dad was a gardener when he first came out of society?"

"Yes. Well... so he's been a gardener in both senses."

Yi Yun drove the car with familiarity, shuttling through the traffic in the evening rush hour,

"My father is very smart and can learn everything quickly. At that time, he was in and out of government agencies, and he could not avoid being exposed to some current events. Once he was repairing flowers in the yard with his master, and when he was talking about it, he was overheard by a leader who was going to the West Village for a meeting. Yes. The leader had an impression of him, and later specially invited him to chat in the room. When the two had a good chat, the leader said to my dad: "Young man, you are young, and you have such a sophisticated eye for problems. Be a The gardener is too talented. You should continue to read more books and go to a bigger stage to live up to your talent!"

Yi Yun imitated that old-fashioned tone so vividly that Yan Wenqing couldn't help laughing:

"Is there any leader who winks like you when talking like you? The leader speaks in a calm and unhurried manner, pretending to be profound."

"Hmm... the minister is right! But why didn't Cao Min realize that you are pretending to be profound when you speak?"

"Do you want me to talk to you in a roundabout way?"

"Of course not!" Yi Yun quickly waved his hands, "This is fine now. Hehe!"

"So your dad went back to school after that and became a teacher after that."

"It's almost like this. After being assigned to the school, my father met my mother who is also a teacher. Later, my mother's good friend's husband, who is Li Enze's father, took my father to the sea to do business. .”

"It turns out that your father had such a struggle before becoming a teacher."

"Didn't expect that! My father is ten years older than my mother, and it was very hard to chase after my mother at that time. The age gap is too big, and my grandparents don't agree. Fortunately, my mother has taken a fancy to my father. Tough and smart, I have a premonition that my dad is a blue chip stock." Yi Yun laughed,

"Fortunately, my mother has vision, otherwise I would be lost. Fortunately, my father is willing to fight, otherwise, how could there be any chance of knowing two people who were originally out of touch?"

"This is fate."

"Yes!" Just at the traffic light, Yi Yun stopped the car, looked at Yan Wenqing, and said seriously, "People who are destined can meet in the crowd even if they are separated by thousands of miles."

Yan Wenqing leaned over, and lightly pressed a kiss on Yi Yun's lips, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad, and thanks to the leaders of those years."

"Yeah! My dad still has to visit that leader every year during the Spring Festival!"

"You guys have been in touch?!"

"Of course! Why don't you say that my father is a thief? Later, after he started his business with Uncle Li, he specifically found this old man and thanked him. This old man was later transferred to the north. I only grew up. I have a concept of these key interests. Master Yu is the leader of the army, and his highest position is the commander of the military region of Changlong Province. My father and his old man continued until ten years ago when he passed away."

"No wonder..."

"what?"

"The quality of knowing kindness and repaying. Not only you have inherited it, but you can also see it in Gao Shengxi."

"Oh, I am so happy to be praised by the Minister!"

"Another poor mouth!"

"Oh, my! Please, it hurts to pinch your face!" Yi Yun covered his face, tilted his body to one side,

"Minister, your hotel has arrived, you can get off now!"

Yan Wenqing looked out the window and found that the car had parked outside the gate of the Xicun compound, about 200 meters away.

"Why don't you drive in?"

Yan Wenqing looked at Yi Yun in puzzlement, Yi Yun blushed slightly, and said:

"You have to leave early tomorrow morning, so I won't disturb your night's rest. If I drive through the gate, I will definitely see you off the car; once I see you off the car, I will definitely see you upstairs; When you go upstairs, you will definitely come in with you; after you go in..." Yi Yun pouted, "Didn't a certain comrade say in the afternoon that you should save important things until you get home..."

"Oh...that's it." Yan Wenqing raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Then I have no choice but to leave."

Put your hand on the door handle, and with a little force, you can push the door and go out.

"Wait a minute!" Yi Yun yelled.

Yan Wenqing, who was dragged back, fell into Yi Yun's arms.

"Uh, uh, Xiao Yun! Uh!"

The small compartment, the scorching temperature, the heavy panting, the scorching breath that is almost uncontrollable.

"get off!"

Opening the distance between the two, Yi Yun quickly got out of the car, ran to open the door on Yan Wenqing's side, and said a little anxiously,

"After the plane lands, remember to text me."

"When did I ever forget?"

Covering the cheek that was pinched by Yan Wenqing, looking at her back that was drifting away, the emotion of reluctance swelled up to cause a dull pain in the whole chest, which made Yi Yun's heart thump.I had to press the position on my chest, and there was a strong voice in my heart shouting to Yi Yun's reason: next time, the next time you see her, you must tell her the three words you have always wanted to say!

The author has something to say:

Do you believe in fate?
