Chapter 3 It's been very quiet
It's a simple little love song

singing the twists and turns of people's hearts

I think I'm happy when I have your warmth
The air around the feet turns

—— Asan

Ye Fan's illness recovered quickly, and he was able to go to work as usual on Monday, but when he got to work, he would inevitably be laughed at by Ma Li.

"What? You suffered from heat stroke in April, so how will you live in August?" When Ma Li said this, she was wearing a low-cut tight dress, and the "wave" was choppy.

Ye Fan rubbed his dazed eyes and turned around silently.

"Hey, I was joking with you. You won't be angry, are you? Are you still not feeling well?" Ma Li thought she had said something wrong, so she rushed over to apologize.

"No!" Ye Fan shook his head, looking depressed, "I'm in a bad mood, and I don't really want to talk."

"What's the matter? Tell my sister if you have anything to do, and she will help you solve your problems and make sure the medicine will be cured." Ma Li patted her chest, speaking confidently, but she couldn't hide the gossip expression on her face.

"..." Ye Fan hesitated a little, and after a long silence, he said, "Lily, do you know men well?"

One sentence made Ma Li smell the prey, and her eyes radiated a faint green light like a weasel, "Of course! As long as it is a man, from an 80-year-old man to an eight-month-old baby, I will kill you all." Come on, tell me, what type of man have you met? Height? Weight? Measurements? Appearance?"

Ye Fan choked for a moment, trying to recall Duan Yifeng's appearance, "Height...is half a head taller than me; I don't know the weight, it should be quite standard; I haven't measured the measurements; appearance..." Her face turned red, " quite handsome."

"Hey, if you said it, you didn't say it! Do you have any specific information? For example, age, working environment, family background, parents and brothers, etc."

age?Ye Fan remembered that he used his power to secretly check Xiaodouding's library card application form for Duan Yifeng's ID number in the morning. If he is correct, he should be 35 years old this year.

"A little older than me; work is not clear; family background... should be pretty good; parents and brothers don't understand."

Faced with Ye Fan's question and three questions, Ma Li became anxious, "Hey, do you really understand him? How much older is older? Tell me clearly!"

Ye Fan weakly stretched out ten fingers.

"What? Ten years older than you!" Ma Li's voice rose an octave.

"Hush! Take it easy, take it easy!" Ye Fan hurriedly covered her mouth, "What's your name? You didn't say it yourself, only a gentle uncle who has experienced storms can stimulate female hormones? Besides, he looks a little Not old..." At this point, someone's voice weakened again.

"Did I say that?" Ma Li was taken aback.

Ye Fan, "..."

"Whether you said it or not, it's quite true anyway. Men are different from us women. The older they are, the more interesting they are, but that's just one aspect. You must know that the older they are, the more they have experienced and the more they will hide Myself. Isn't there a word called "veteran in love"? A little girl like you who has no experience at all, if you accidentally meet someone, you will wag your tail when he loses a bone. I'm just playing with you, thank you!"

Before Ma Li finished speaking, Ye Fan's face turned dark: Is there such a metaphor as you?

"And you have to know that there is a generation gap in three years! A difference of ten years is three and a half generation gaps. How deep is this gap?"

Ye Fan nodded, "It must be deeper than the one on your chest."

Ma Li, "Hey, I seriously suspect that you are looking for an excuse to tease me."

"Yes, yes!" Ye Fan nodded, and suddenly felt that his mood was not so bad. Could it be that this is the legend of basing one's own happiness on the pain of others?

"I knew I was taking advantage of me, and when I encountered problems, I was like a plague." Ma Li gave her a white look.

As a result, Ye Fan quickly withered again.

"Let's put it this way! Uncle is not bad, but you have to be careful. Oh, by the way, you have to be careful if the other party is cheating on marriage. I have a friend who has met him before, and they are talking about marriage. Only then did I find out that the other party has a wife and children, so I became a mistress out of nowhere, thank you?"

Ye Fan was startled, and then went mad: "What are you cheating on marriage? What are you talking about? I... I just asked casually, where are you thinking? I, I... I can't do it with him !"

"It's impossible for you to ask me? Aren't you interested in her? Ah..." Ma Li suddenly realized something, her eyes became ambiguous, "Yezi, you are already 25 years old, are you still in unrequited love?"

Single...unrequited love?Ye Fan choked, but didn't know how to answer.

She really didn't know what she was like now, maybe it was the sequelae of heatstroke and fever?In short, after returning from the hospital that day, he recovered from his illness, but his spirit has not been normal. Duan Yifeng's face is always in his mind, and sometimes he loses his mind while doing things, and his head is like a ball of paste. , I can't figure it out, is it really like what Ma Li said, she is unrequitedly in love?

Come on, 25 years old, still playing unrequited love like a 15-year-old girl, and with a 35-year-old uncle with a wife and children?
Ye Fan suddenly felt very annoyed, so annoyed that he wanted to hug Ma Li and roll around on the ground a few times.

Of course, for the sake of her own safety, she didn't do that. Naturally, she couldn't help being a little restless throughout the afternoon.

Just like this, when I was about to get off work in such a chaotic manner, a text message came from my mobile phone.

Ye Fan took the phone, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, with only five words, "Let's have dinner together."

Did you send the wrong message?Without thinking about it, she put the phone aside and continued with the work at hand.

After a while, the text message came again, still just a few words, "When do you leave work?"

This person seemed quite persistent, so Ye Fan simply sent a text message, "Who are you?"

The other party quickly replied with two words, "Mo Cong."

Mo Cong?Ye Fan looked at the name, quickly searched in his mind, and finally dug up the information two weeks ago—yes, it was the rich second generation who thought she was not dignified enough in black silk, and finally left him and left.

What's going on here?Since the last time we met, there was no contact for half a month, and even her persistent mother had already crossed this person's name off the blind date list, why did it suddenly appear again?Did you send the wrong message?

So, Ye Fan replied politely, "Mr. Mo, I'm Ye Fan, did you send the wrong message?"

After a long time this time, the other party did not reply to the message.

Hey, I'm still a high-achieving student, and I can even get the wrong phone number on a date.

After Ye Fan silently despised this person N times in his heart, it was finally time to get off work.

She packed up her things and was about to go out. As soon as she stepped out of the library, her mobile phone rang.The number displayed on the screen is a bit familiar, with four eights at the end, it seems to be the number that Mo Cong sent her a text message just now!
Ye Fan was completely bewildered, he answered the phone and gave a soft "Hello".

But the other party just said, "Where do you want to go for dinner?"

Ye Fan was so questioned that Monk Erzhang couldn't figure it out. After a long pause, he asked weakly: "Mr. Mo? I'm Ye Fan."

"I know. Miss Ye, where do you want to go for dinner?"

This... is this inviting someone to dinner?

Ye Fan finally understood, but at the same time, she murmured in her heart: Is there something wrong with this man?During the blind date, I look like I don’t like you and you don’t have any hope, and after two weeks after the blind date, I suddenly invite you to dinner out of nowhere, no, no, no, to be precise, I order you to eat.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, I'm working overtime today, so I don't have time to eat." Ye Fan made an excuse and wanted to refuse.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Mo Cong's neutral voice came from the phone, with a hint of playfulness, "Miss Ye, please look up to the left."

Ye Fan raised his head without knowing why, and saw a slender figure leaning against the car, holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking at her coldly through the lens.

Ye Fan finally understands what it means to "taste the wax", and that's how she feels at the moment.

Even though he was in a high-end western restaurant, and the other person's appearance and background could be regarded as the type that all women dreamed of, Ye Fan just felt uncomfortable.

What is this?I only met once, and then the blind date whom I hadn't contacted for half a month suddenly appeared, and said with a cold face, "Let's have dinner together", without even adding a question mark, and the tone was completely commanding. What kind of medicine do you sell?

"Miss Ye."

"Ah?" Ye Fan came back from deep thinking, and found that Mo Cong was looking at her expressionlessly, which made her feel scared, "What...what's the matter?"

"Is the dish not to your taste?" This sentence sounds a bit normal, but with that dead fish face, it immediately makes people think that the second half of his sentence should be: If you dare to say that it is not to your appetite, I will kill you!

Ye Fan silently wiped off a cold sweat in his heart, and said with a smile: "Very good... very good..."

"Then why don't you eat?"

It was only then that Ye Fan realized that he was too busy thinking about this guy's thoughts, and even forgot to eat, "Eat, let's eat!" She smiled stiffly, and hurriedly cut the steak, the knife and fork knocked out on the tray. The sound of ping-pong-pong.

"When cutting, don't make any noise." Mo Cong reminded with a straight face.

Ye Fan couldn't help scolding his mother silently in his heart.

Isn't it just a steak?The old lady used the money to buy thirty bowls of noodles at the alley, and played percussion music with chopsticks for you.

Thinking about it, Ye Fan's inner slavish gene was still overwhelmed by the opponent's powerful aura, so he had to restrain his movements and slowly cut the steak.

Steak, steak, why are you a steak?If it's a potato, I can lift you up in two strokes.

Finally, Young Master Mo was irritated by the woman in front of him who could dawdle for half a day slicing steaks, and reached out to take her tray.

"I haven't cut it yet!" Ye Fan was startled and said hastily.

"Eat mine." The other party had already handed her his sliced ​​steak.

The shape is neat, the cuts are neat, and the cow's blood stained on the porcelain plate immediately reminds people of the lines in Zhou Xingchi's movies, "This is a must for killing people and traveling at home!"

Immediately, Ye Fan lost his appetite even more, so he ate a few pieces symbolically, raised his head and secretly glanced at the face of the dead fish opposite him.

Mo Cong wore an off-white plaid shirt today, with the cuffs neatly rolled up to the elbows. His skin was very fair, his fingers were long and delicate, and he looked like he was not a child raised by an ordinary family.His posture with the knife and fork is very standard, cutting along the lines of the steak, even in size, not even a little minced meat on the edge of the knife.

Ye Fan studied psychology when he was in college, and he knew that such a person is cautious, competitive, and pursuing perfection. In the eyes of outsiders, he may be very beautiful. If he really gets along with him, he will definitely be one word—tired.

"Miss Ye." Sensing Ye Fan's sizing up, Mo Cong raised his head and looked at her without hesitation, "What are you looking at?"

Hey, does this man have eyes on the top of his head?

Ye Fan, who was caught again, was a little depressed, and he simply said: "Mr. Mo, I have a question for you."

"Let's discuss private matters after eating." The attitude of the other party remained unchanged.

Finally, Ye Fan got a little annoyed, "No, I'm going to ask now."

Xu didn't expect that the rabbit who was slaughtered just now would suddenly jump up to protest. Mo Cong paused for a moment, surprised eyes flashed in his eyes, and calmly said: "Okay, you ask."

Ye Fan made up his mind to go all out, and said straight to the point: "I want to know, why did you suddenly show up to invite me to dinner after half a month of blind date? You don't explain anything like this, I'm really troubled!"

The other party was startled, and spit out two words, "suitable."

"What?" Ye Fan couldn't help being stunned.

"My parents forced me to have many kisses and met many women. At present, I think you are the most suitable for me, so I came to you..."

"Wait!" Ye Fan interrupted him, "You said... I am the most suitable for you?"

"That's right! I don't like things that are too troublesome. You just graduated from college, so you won't be too mundane; you have no love experience, so you won't make unreasonable demands; you don't have complicated interpersonal relationships, so getting married won't be too troublesome; you don't look too pretty , you can avoid cheating after marriage; you can work leisurely and take care of your children conveniently.”

Ye Fan was really shocked - this, this, this...is this filming?How can there be such a wonderful person in reality?

Brother, I will send today's conversation to Tianya again, you will definitely become famous!
At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly wanted to imitate Master Ma, raised his head to the sky at a 45-degree angle, and roared with tears streaming down his face: "God! Earth! Who are the people you let me meet? Who are you?" ?”

After a brief breakdown in his heart, Ye Fan quickly made a statement, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, I think you may have made a mistake."

"what's up?"

"You have been emphasizing that I am suitable for you, but have you ever considered whether you are suitable for me? Please don't use your own thoughts as the standard to consider one thing, can you?"

"Of course I have considered you." The other party's calm answer stunned Ye Fan, "Your parents married late, and your mother gave birth to you at the age of 35, so I always hoped that you would marry early and let her have grandchildren, right?"

Ye Fan was stunned. Since his mother got married late, he always hoped that she would get married sooner. How did he know?
"You majored in management at university. Because you like children very much, you insisted on choosing a job in a children's library with a relatively low salary."

Ye Fan: "..."

"You once planned to get married at the age of 25 and have a son and a daughter. You liked the clean and self-motivated opposite sex the most. You didn't have high requirements for relationships, but you hoped that the other party would be by your side consistently, and you hoped that your future mother-in-law would not Difficult to deal with."

Ye Fan finally understood at this time - that evil Yuelao Dating Network!I absolutely shouldn't, I just shouldn't be forced by my mother to sign up as a member with you!At this moment, Ye Fan really wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Except that we need to work together to have a son and a daughter, I can meet your other requirements, and I promise that my mother will get along well, so what else do you need to worry about?"

"I..." Ye Fan suddenly wanted to strangle himself to death.

"If you have no objections, we will go through the formalities tomorrow."

"What?" This sentence finally stimulated Ye Fan, who was immersed in regret, back to the real world, "Wait a minute! Let me tell you, even if you know so much about me, I still won't marry you. I I have no relationship with you, and I don't want to be with you at all." Ye Fan's excited words attracted the attention of many customers in the restaurant.

"You don't think I have any feelings for you?" The other party narrowed his eyes.

"That's right!" Ye Fan nodded firmly.

"You think it's too soon to get married?"

"It's not just fast? I've only met you twice in total, and the sum of what I've said is not as long as the news broadcast. You said you want me to marry you. Do you think it's grocery shopping at the vegetable market?"

"So, you want to develop a relationship first and then get married?"

"right……"

Ye Fan was taken aback, and just about to say "I'm sorry for your size", but Mo Cong stood up and looked down at her, "Okay! From now on, I will cultivate a good relationship with you, Xiao Fan .”

Ye Fan lived to be 25 years old, and it's not like he hasn't been chased before.

When she was in college, a boy with good qualifications liked her and said he wanted to recognize her as a younger sister. At that time, how could she know that her brother and sister were the beginning of adultery, so she foolishly regarded him as a big brother. After holding on for more than half a year, seeing that there was nothing to do, he turned around and went to identify another sister. When Ye Fan realized, it turned out that when this person chased him, that guy had already slept with his new younger sister. .So strictly speaking, Ye Fan doesn't know what it's like to be chased by someone, but now she finally understands that being chased by someone is such a terrifying thing.

"Miss Ye, your flowers." When the flower delivery boy appeared at the office door holding a large bouquet of roses, Ye Fan wanted to cry.

This is already the fourth time I have received flowers this week, and they were all sent by Mo Cong who called the florist.When it was delivered for the first time, it happened to be hit by a colleague with a "big mouth" in the library. It turned out that within half a day, everyone in the library knew about it, and even Director Huang, who was always cautious, asked her to go When I was picking up materials in the office, my eyes changed.

"Xiaoye! I just started working, don't keep thinking about personal matters, young people should keep a low profile."

Ye Fan was really struggling and couldn't tell, and he was afraid of being questioned by his mother when he went home with this bouquet of flowers. After thinking about it, he had to give the flowers to Ma Li.

I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the next day, the florist came again, with the same big bunch, and an extra box of expensive chocolates.Now, all the colleagues in the library were shocked. It was rumored that Ye Fan had found a rich boyfriend, rich and romantic, and he would marry him soon.

So, when she went upstairs to hand in the materials the next day, Director Huang stopped her again, "Xiao Ye, dating is one thing, and work is another. You need to distinguish clearly! Huh?"

The raised "hmm" shocked Ye Fan into a cold sweat. You must know that Director Huang is the well-known "Huang Shiren" in the museum. He is petty and grudge-loving. Ma Li sneaked out on a date and was caught by her once. , I have worn Mary's shoes several times.Now that Mo Cong's inexplicable bouquets of roses messed with him, Ye Fan always felt that Director Huang was about to target him, could he not be nervous?

"Yes, yes, I will pay attention."

Ye Fan went downstairs wiping off a cold sweat, feeling extremely depressed, and was about to complain to Ma Li, but before he could finish his sentence, the flower delivery man came again.

Ye Fan is so angry!Impulsively, he immediately called Mo Cong.

The phone was connected, and Mo Cong's voice was cold, "What's the matter? I'm in a meeting, I'll talk about it later."

"Mr. Mo, give me one minute, and I'll hang up after I finish speaking."

There was a pause, and then the voice calmly said: "You say."

Ye Fan took a deep breath, and said all the words that had been held in his heart for the past few days, "Mr. Mo, please don't send me flowers anymore. Your doing so has seriously affected my work. I have already said It's impossible for me to be with you. I don't feel anything about you, please don't waste time and money on me, please!"

After speaking, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and said silently in his heart: Have you said enough?give up on me!I beg you!
However, after a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, the voice that was so calm that no waves could be felt rang again, "Have you finished speaking? One minute is up."

Ye Fan was taken aback, "Uh... finished."

"Okay, I see. Goodbye." After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Huh?Ye Fan was stunned for a moment.

What kind of reaction is this...?accepted?give up?Disappointed with me?Brother, at least you scolded me to make me feel better!
Another day passed like this, and finally on Friday, just when Ye Fan thought the nightmare was finally over, the flowers arrived again.

Apart from wanting to hold Ma Li and cry bitterly, Ye Fan couldn't think of any other way to deal with it.

Seeing Ye Fan's crying expression, even the younger brother of the flower shop began to sympathize with her, "Miss Ye, don't be sad. There is a wedding at the boss's wife's house on the weekend, and the door is closed to thank guests. If you don't send flowers, you can rest for at least two days." sky."

Ye Fan: "..."

"Yezi!" Ma Li approached apologetically from the side, "Let's discuss it, can you not give me the flowers today? Yesterday Mr. Shen came to my house, and when he saw those flowers, his face changed. I... I don't want him to misunderstand..."

"Don't worry!" Ye Fan clenched his fists with a murderous look on his face, "I won't give you any more today, I'll send him to the bank with flowers in my arms, and fall in front of him, let's see if he dares to send me flowers again!"

The dog jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry, and Ye Fan is in a hurry, and has a tendency to transform into an Ultraman.

"Hey! Don't be impulsive!" Ma Li has quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Ye Fan, "Why are you so anxious? Do you know how to deal with this kind of man? The more you care, the more he thinks that you actually like him .To deal with such a person, all you have to do is to ignore him!"

Ye Fan: "That's three words..."

Mary: "..."

Ye Fan finally resisted the impulse and did not go to Mo Cong desperately.

According to what Ma Li said, the best way to face such an enemy with such a strong psychological quality is to ignore him, so when Mo Cong called again that day, Ye Fan firmly refused to answer.The phone rang three times, she ignored it three times, and finally the other party finally gave up and didn't bother her until the evening.

Ye Fan couldn't help but feel complacent, thinking that Ma Li is worthy of reading countless people and knows how to prescribe the right medicine. It is estimated that she will be liberated next week if she continues to develop in this state.

With this in mind, Ye Fan went to the library to go to work in peace on the next day, which was Saturday.

The work schedule of Ye Fan's library is on a shift system, and there will be four weekend shifts every other month, which means that in the next month, Ye Fan's working hours will be adjusted to Wednesday to Sunday. On weekdays, students and parents who come to borrow books and read for convenience.

The last round of book sorting had just ended, and Ye Fan had a lot of leisure time, basically sitting in the borrowing office all day, occasionally going through the procedure of borrowing and returning books, and it was time to get off work in a blink of an eye.

Ye Fan looked up at the watch on the wall, thinking about calling Ma Li to eat a bowl of noodles in the alley after get off work, and the moment her eyes moved from the electronic watch, she saw Duan Yifeng.

Duan Yifeng wore a slim black suit today. On the white pinstriped shirt inside, a thin tie of the same color as the suit was loosely tied. A button was casually undone at the lapel, revealing the wheat-colored skin inside .

At that moment, Ye Fan thought of a word - pleasing to the eye.That's right, there is nothing more wonderful than watching such an elegant man walking towards himself from the door step by step.Time seemed to be elongated, and everything around him was still, only his steps towards him and the smile on his face filled all the thinking space in Ye Fan's brain.

"Good afternoon, Miss Ye." Duan Yifeng looked haggard than usual, as if he had just finished some important work.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Duan." Ye Fan came back to his senses as quickly as possible, and replied with a smile, but his cheeks were a little hot.

"Didn't Xiaoyu come today?" She found that Duan Yifeng was missing a little girl.

"Xiaoyu was picked up by his aunt to play, and he will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, so today are you..."

"I'll help Xiaoyu return the book." Duan Yifeng put the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Duan Yu borrowed in his hand on the counter, "I have an important job to go abroad for a while next Wednesday, I'm afraid I won't be able to come by then Return the book, so come over now."

Ye Fan took the book and skillfully entered the ISBN into the computer, while pretending to ask casually: "Are you going for a long time?"

"The time is uncertain, it mainly depends on the arrangement of the other party."

When the two came into such close contact, Ye Fan pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but in fact there was already a gong beating in his heart.

Is he going on a long business trip?In other words, there will be a long time without seeing him?For some reason, Ye Fan suddenly felt an indescribable loss in his heart.

"By the way, Miss Ye, have you recovered from your illness?" Duan Yifeng asked suddenly.

"Well, it's all right now. Thank you so much that day."

"You're welcome! We are friends, we should."

Already friends?Ye Fan suddenly felt a little ecstatic, and couldn't help slowing down the work at hand—slow down!Go slower!Just let him stay a little longer.

At this moment, the phone rang untimely.

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

"It's okay, take your time."

Ye Fan smiled at him apologetically and picked up the phone.

"Why didn't you answer my call yesterday?" When Mo Cong's voice came from the other end of the phone, Ye Fan realized that he had accidentally answered the call from God of Plague.

Since Duan Yifeng was beside her, she didn't like to lose her temper, so she could only whisper softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring my mobile phone with me yesterday."

"Are you a child? You will forget to bring your mobile phone!"

Mo Cong, you bastard, I curse you for never finding a girlfriend!Ye Fan cursed in his heart.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn't answer, the other party paused, "Forget it! Come out and have dinner together."

With such a forced tone, Ye Fan couldn't help it anymore, "I have something to do, you can go by yourself!" Then he quickly hung up the phone, turned off the phone, thought it was not safe, and removed the battery.

After doing all this, she suddenly had a happy feeling of letting out a bad breath.

When Ye Fan raised his head, he realized that Duan Yifeng had witnessed all this and was looking at her with a smile, but why did this smile feel different from the previous one?
Ye Fan felt a little guilty, "That...the salesman is really annoying!"

"Yes! It's really annoying." Duan Yifeng nodded in agreement.

Seeing him nodding, why did she feel even more guilty?
Ye Fan suddenly became a little nervous, hurriedly finished the last step, and handed back the library card to Duan Yifeng.

"Mr. Duan, your card."

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Duan Yifeng reached out to take it and put it in his coat pocket, "Then I'm leaving. I wish you a happy day."

"Well, again..." Ye Fan was in the middle of speaking, and suddenly remembered the phone call from Mo Cong just now. He said, "Come out, let's have dinner together." Could it be that he is already outside?
Ye Fan was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and he said to Duan Yifeng who was about to leave: "Wait a minute, Mr. Duan."

Duan Yifeng stopped and turned to look at her, "Is there anything else?"

"I..." Forget it, let's go all out, we must get rid of that guy!Ye Fan gritted his teeth, and quickly took out the previous two movie tickets from his bag, "Are you free now? I want to treat you to a movie."

Duan Yifeng was startled, and seemed a little surprised.

It's over, isn't it too straightforward?Ye Fan immediately regretted it, lowered his head and said like a mosquito: "Well... Actually, I want to thank you for sending me to the hospital last time, so I..."

"Okay!" Duan Yifeng interrupted her, "Go and clean up, I'll wait for you outside, okay?"
