Night Owl breathed heavily and extinguished the cigarette butt. He used too much force and his fingers were burned by the cigarette butt, but he didn't feel any pain.
Just by listening to the sound, Bai Suye could tell that he was angry. And, very angry.
He stood up, and she subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to get closer to him. Her lips moved, wanting to say something to him. But before she opened her mouth, she heard a panicked voice coming from outside.
"Night Owl!"
It’s Nalan.
Bai Suye paused and his body stiffened.
"Night Owl, where are you?" The girl's clear voice, with a crying tone, seemed pitiful.
"Here." Ye Xiao opened the door and walked out. His voice was dull, but compared to when he usually spoke to Bai Suye, his tone could be described as gentle.
Once the door is opened, no one will close it.
Bai Suye clearly saw the young and immature girl throw herself into the man's arms in panic. She put her slender hands around his waist and said, "Just now a tree outside was blown down and almost hit my window. I was scared."
Night Owl was silent for a moment, and seemed to look in the direction of Bai Suye's room.
Then, his eyes wavered, and he gently hugged the girl with one hand. His voice became even lower, "I will have someone move the tree away right now."
He couldn't learn to be gentle, and when he lowered his voice, it sounded much softer. In the past, this special treatment belonged to the 18-year-old Bai Suye.
but now…
"No, it's so late, there's no need to bother them." Nalan said considerately.
"Okay, whatever you want."
"Then... I'll sleep in your room tonight, okay?" Nalan raised her head and looked at Ye Xiao pleadingly. The panic in her eyes had not yet dissipated, making her look like a frightened little rabbit.
How could a man refuse a girl like this
"…" The man was silent for a moment. Inside, Bai Suye's hands clenched. Only Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Okay!"
The light outside the door was dazzling.
The stinging made Bai Suye standing in the dark, her eyes sore. She turned away, didn't look again, and leaned her head out of the window, letting the cold wind blow away the moisture in her eyes.
It was raining outside the window, and the raindrops drifted in and hit her face. She felt cold. The coldness was bone-piercing, and then it seeped into her heart and ran through her limbs.
After a long time, the footsteps and voices of Ye Xiao and Na Lan gradually faded from her ears. The servant's voice sounded from the door, "Miss Bai, do you want to close the door?"
"Turn it off." She replied softly, trying her best to make her voice sound normal.
… … … … …
Night Owl's room is mainly black and white. Simple and calm, but without a trace of life.
Ten years ago, in his room, there would be various watercolor paintings painted by a certain woman placed in various corners. He would let her put them wherever she liked. Even if she occupied the armory in his compartment, he would let her do whatever she wanted.
Now…
No one, including Nalan, could invade his room. But tonight was different.
"Go to sleep." Night Owl was in a bad mood and looked very unhappy.
It was the first time for Nalan to get on his bed, and she didn't quite believe it. But after hearing him say that, she didn't hesitate. She shrunk into his bed in her white pajamas. She was slender, and huddled inside, leaving half of the space for him. Under the quilt, there was the minty scent of his body, cold, but fresh and pleasant.
The girl looked at him quietly with a reserved yet obsessed look, with a faint smile in her eyes.
Ye Xiao was in a trance. That look made him feel as if he had traveled back to 10 years ago...
Thinking of that woman, he felt a suffocating pain in his chest. He took the remote control and turned off the light, not wanting to look at Nalan's eyes again.
He always thought of the white millet leaves at that time!
White millet leaves!
This name is not wrong at all! She deserved to die like a poppy! It was planted inch by inch in his body, in his bones and blood. When she wanted to pull it out, she had to use a knife to cut it out inch by inch, until the flesh and blood were separated.
He lay down in the vacant seat with his eyes closed. The bed was large, and his body did not touch the girl next to him.
"Night Owl..."
Nalan spoke softly.
He didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear her voice. His breathing was calm, and even his eyelashes didn't move.
The girl slowly approached him. Her slender arms lovingly embraced his waist. He did not push her away, but he did not respond either. He only heard the girl ask, "Who is Miss Bai to you?"
Night Owl was silent for a long time. Then, when Nalan thought he would never speak again, he heard him utter two words in a loud voice, "Enemy!"
Nalan felt that Ye Xiao had not lied to her. That woman was probably really her enemy. Judging from his gnashing of teeth and heavy breathing, Ye Xiao really hated her.
Even, hate it to the core.
When that woman appeared here today, Yu An never had a good face towards her and almost hit her several times.
Nalan originally thought that Bai Suye was the one that Ye Xiao loved, but after seeing Yu An's attitude towards her, she gave up the idea. If Ye Xiao really liked her a little, his subordinates would not dare to be disrespectful to her.
Just like to himself - ever since Night Owl said he would keep her by his side a year ago, everyone under him has respected and obeyed her.
Thinking of this, Nalan felt much better.
"Night Owl, are you going to sleep?"
Night Owl was silent again. He spoke as little as ever.
"You are willing to take me in and treat me so well. Actually..." The girl leaned closer to him again, breathing tight, mustering up her courage, and gently resting her head on his shoulder, "Actually, I can repay you... Night Owl, I am 18 years old, and I have grown up..."
The girl's hand, with fear, awkwardness, and boldness, slowly slipped into the man's pajamas.
His expression became fierce, and his eyes opened, a trace of viciousness flashed across them. His big hand quickly grabbed the girl's wrist. Her wrist was slender, and he exerted force with his big hand, as if he was going to crush it. Nalan screamed in pain and stared at Ye Xiao in horror. After a long time, Ye Xiao finally said nothing, shook the girl's hand away, and the next moment, he stood up and left coldly, without looking back at the girl who sat up in panic on the bed.
What did I do wrong to cause Night Owl to turn against me in an instant
… … … … …
Bai Suye was not sleepy at all and her mind was in a mess.
Naren goes to his room.
What are a man and a woman doing at this moment? It's not that she really can't think of anything.
We are both adults.
What's more, the night owls today are completely different from the night owls of the past.
In the past, Night Owl would let her go again and again because she was still young. Although it was said to be let go, in fact, many times, it was just a last-minute shot.
