Roses in Flames

The neck pillow that Shen Yan was holding was, if Ye Yuntang remembered correctly, a gift she gave him when he graduated from university!

Shen Yan was two years ahead of her. There was a boy in his dorm who was in a relationship with one of the girls in her dorm.

During university, whenever we had free time, the two dormitories would have a meal together.

They got to know each other after a while, and when Shen Yan and his classmates graduated, the girls' dormitory gave gifts to everyone in the boys' dormitory.

Because they studied forensic medicine, which requires them to spend a lot of time squatting on autopsy tables and staring at microscopes, their cervical spines are not very good. So she customized this neck pillow with strong support that is not tiring to wear for a long time.

She never expected that Shen Yan would still keep it after several years.

"Senior brother, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to rest right now."

Seeing that Ye Yuntang didn't use the neck pillow he had brought out, Shen Yan stopped saying anything.

Ye Yuntang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then, as if remembering something, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Lin, who was standing by the window.

Xiao Lin's deep black eyes fell on the neck pillow in Shen Yan's hand, making his features appear even more sharp and refined. His jawline was taut, and his whole body exuded a low pressure that was hard to ignore.

But clearly, Cheng Lei and Chen Yang didn't notice that something was wrong with Xiao Lin.

Chen Yang asked with a smile, "Forensic Doctor Shen, your neck pillow looks nice. Where did you buy it? Online? Do you have a link?"

Cheng Lei chimed in, "This neck pillow looks really comfortable, I want to link to it too."

Shen Yan looked at Ye Yuntang with gentle eyes, "It wasn't bought, it was a graduation gift from my junior."

As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, Cheng Lei and Chen Yang exchanged a meaningful glance, then revealed ambiguous, gossipy smiles. "Oh~ I get it, I get it!"

Ye Yuntang, "..."

You guys don't know anything.

Ye Yuntang caught a glimpse of the man standing by the window out of the corner of her eye. Seeing his handsome face growing increasingly cold and stern, she quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. Back then, our girls' dormitory gave gifts to every one of the boys in the senior dorm. I just gave them neck pillows."

After saying that, she looked at Cheng Lei and Chen Yang, "If you like them, I'll give one to you both after this case is finished."

Cheng Lei scratched the back of his head and smiled憨厚ly, "Sister Yuntang, you're so kind, but..." Before he could finish speaking, he glanced at Xiao Lin, "Did our boss get any? Last time Sister Yuntang treated us to coffee, our boss didn't get any."

Before Ye Yuntang could say anything, Chen Yang chimed in, "Is that so? It's obvious your boss always has a cold face and doesn't appeal to girls."

Xiao Lin, "..."

Remembering what Xiao Lin had said earlier about Chen Yang being his college classmate, Ye Yuntang couldn't help but ask, "Captain Chen, was Captain Xiao like this back in college too?"

Chen Yang: "When Xiao Ge was in police academy, he was the undisputed campus heartthrob. He was tall and had a cold look in his eyes. The girls who wanted his WeChat could line up from the teaching building to the school gate. Not only in the police academy, but even girls from the neighboring art school would make a special detour to see him."

Xiao Lin glanced at Chen Yang with his dark eyes. "Stop gossiping."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "We're just chatting after get off work."

Ye Yuntang nodded, "Yes, Captain Chen, please continue."

"There was a really beautiful girl in the art school who had been pursuing Brother Xiao openly and secretly for a long time. She was very bright and passionate. But later, that girl became a famous female star and lost contact with Brother Xiao. If Brother Xiao had agreed to date her back then, he might have become the female star's man."

Xiao Lin's face darkened. "Are you ever going to stop?"

Chen Yang chuckled, "Brother Xiao, it's been so many years, why do you still react so strongly when you mention her? Besides, she's a big star now, she should have long forgotten about chasing after you back in college."

Ye Yuntang looked at Xiao Lin, her gaze narrowing slightly.

Xiao Lin met Ye Yuntang's gaze, his eyes open and honest, without the slightest hint of guilt.

Ye Yuntang's little bit of emotion was instantly suppressed.

He is handsome and capable, so he is unlikely to lack admirers.

Others like him and pursue him; that's their own feelings and right. He didn't reciprocate, didn't flirt, and didn't string anyone along. How could she blame him? How could she be so petty?

Once she understood this, Ye Yuntang's little bit of resentment vanished instantly, and she felt much more relaxed.

However, she was also a little curious about which big star was the girl who had pursued her so passionately.

Just as she was about to ask Chen Yang, his phone rang.

Chen Yang took out his phone and went outside to answer a call.

After Chen Yang, the lively person, left, the infusion room became somewhat quiet.

"Um, why don't you guys go eat first? I'll go to the hotel to rest after my IV drip is finished," Ye Yuntang suggested.

Cheng Lei asked, "Sister Yuntang, aren't you coming to eat with us?"

"I don't have much of an appetite, you guys go ahead and eat."

Xiao Lin sat down next to Ye Yuntang and said in a low voice, "After you finish playing, we'll take you to the hotel before we go eat."

Shen Yan nodded, "We're not in a hurry."

Ye Yuntang, "..."

She felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

After Ye Yuntang finished her IV drip, Chen Yang drove the group to a hotel.

"If Forensic Doctor Ye's fever hasn't subsided by tomorrow, he should rest at the hotel and not go up the mountain," Chen Yang said.

"it is good."

Chen Yang has already booked a room, and the group will be resting here tonight.

After handing the room key to Ye Yuntang, Chen Yang took the others to eat.

The restaurant was not far from the hotel. Xiao Lin made an excuse that he had something to do and borrowed Chen Yang's car to drive around the town.

He finally managed to buy the millet porridge, and when he delivered it to the hotel, he also bought some of the fruits that Ye Yuntang usually liked to eat.

The hotel had no elevator, and Ye Yuntang stayed in room 201, so he took three steps at a time to climb the stairs.

He froze as soon as he arrived at the entrance of 201.

Because Shen Yan was standing there, carrying a box and a bag of fruit.

Shen Yan raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and looked back.

Their gazes met Xiao Lin's.

After returning to the hotel, Ye Yuntang rested on the sofa for a while before taking a shower.

Just as I found the clothes, I heard a knock on the door.

Her heart skipped a beat.

The person knocking on her door at this time must be Xiao Lin.

Was he not here to question her about the neck pillow?

If he likes it, she will have an even more special one custom-made for him.

Thinking of what that jealous man was about to say, a smile crept onto her lips.

She walked quickly to the door and opened it.

She was about to call Xiao Lin's name when she was met with Shen Yan's gentle and refined face.

Ye Yuntang was taken aback for a moment. "Senior brother, what brings you here?"

She thought it was Xiao Lin.

Her gaze fell on the food and fruit Shen Yan was carrying, and she thought to herself, "My senior brother is such a sweet guy."

"I'll bring you some food."

Ye Yuntang didn't open the door completely, so she didn't see Xiao Lin. She looked at what Shen Yan handed her, considered it for a moment, and then said, "Senior brother, do you remember when I told you on WeChat last time that I had a boyfriend?"

Shen Yan nodded. "I remember."

"It's my boyfriend..." Ye Yuntang's long eyelashes drooped slightly, almost afraid to look at Shen Yan's expression. "He's a bit petty. In the future, apart from work-related interactions, don't be so nice to me in private."

Standing a few steps behind Shen Yan, Xiao Lin, whose face was sullen, raised his lips, which were tightly pressed into a line, almost imperceptibly after hearing Ye Yuntang's words.
