Bai Suye felt like a ball of cotton, her whole body was soft and weak. She felt herself being picked up and swallowed medicine. The man seemed to be a night owl.
However, whether it was a dream or reality, she didn't have the energy to explore it at the moment.
After she finished taking the medicine and lay down, Ye Xiao did not leave. He just pulled a chair and sat aside, watching her from a distance.
She lay there with her eyes closed, looking very peaceful. She was like a lily watered in the rain, without its former vitality, but more charming.
Charming
Night Owl curled his lips in mockery, and his eyes moved away from her face and into the dark night outside.
This kind of charmingness is poison.
It killed so many of his brothers and made him unable to sleep or eat for the past ten years.
He had to keep reminding himself so that he wouldn't become addicted to this poison again.
… … … … …
Time passes slowly.
I don’t know how long it took…
When Bai Suye woke up, it was already daybreak outside. She felt as if she had just been run over by a heavy truck, and her whole body was in great pain. Her body under the quilt was soaked with sweat from last night.
So sad.
She took a breath and tried to stand up. When she tilted her head, she was stunned by the scene next to her.
Night Owl…
He was sitting in a chair, his long, straight legs spread apart, his hands crossed on his thighs, his body leaning back slightly, eyes closed and asleep. Even in such an uncomfortable position, sleeping in such a small chair, his body was still straight and his temperament was not diminished.
However, when he fell asleep, his thick sword-like brows were still tightly furrowed, and the domineering aura between his three-dimensional and cold facial features had not diminished at all.
This person is too aggressive. He never lets down his guard even when sleeping.
This kind of life... probably must be very hard...
Thinking of this, she felt a little more distressed unconsciously.
She lay on the bed, tilting her head to look at him, and she was lost in thought. The sunlight gently shone from outside, hitting him, and she vaguely hoped that time could stop here...
Only at times like this would she dare to look at this person a few more times so brazenly.
She didn't know how long she stared at him until he suddenly opened his eyes and she came back to her senses. There was no sign, so there was no way to avoid it, their eyes met, and they were both stunned.
His eyes suddenly became much darker, but his emotions were unclear.
"Are you awake?" After a while, Bai Suye finally found her voice. Because of the cold, her voice was a little hoarse. She had already looked away from him, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Ye Xiao stared at her for a long time, until she clenched the blanket uncomfortably, and then he looked away. But he didn't say anything, just raised his hand and rubbed his brow tiredly.
She lifted the quilt and sat up weakly. She continued to find a topic, "When did you come?"
"I'm going to wash my face." Ye Xiao didn't answer her at all. He stood up and went to the bathroom. Not long after, he came out of the bathroom again, looking much more sober.
Bai Suyue had already gotten up from the bed and was leaning against the bathroom wall, holding her pajamas, waiting for him to come out.
So, Night Owl saw her as soon as he came out.
"What?"
He glanced at the pajamas she was holding.
"I'm all sticky, so I need to take a shower."
"You had a fever last night, why are you taking a bath now?" He said in a bad tone.
"You came here last night?" Bai Suye's focus was on his previous sentence. There were obvious red bloodshot in his eyes. It seemed that he had been sitting on the chair all night. Was he taking care of herself? She vaguely remembered that he was here, and at that time she just thought she was dreaming...
Night Owl felt uncomfortable when she looked at him directly. He didn't answer, which was considered as his acquiescence.
Bai Suye felt better for some reason. "Then how did you get into my house? As far as I can remember, I didn't get up to open the door. Besides, weren't you supposed to be on a business trip today? Why did you come back?"
However, when he mentioned the latter question, his eyes darkened again. Didn't he take Nalan out on vacation
"Your cold is completely healed, why do you have so many questions?" Ye Xiao didn't want to answer any of her questions. With a cold face, he raised his hand to test the temperature on her forehead again. He had just washed his hands, so his palm was cool. When he put it on her forehead, she felt an indescribable comfort.
"The fever should have gone away," she whispered. She still felt a little hot even though she was so close to him.
"Yeah." He took his hand away.
"Then... I'm going to take a shower first."
In the end, Ye Xiao did not stop her and let her go into the bathroom.
… … … … …
When Bai Suye came out of the bathroom, she found that he was no longer in the room. She opened the door, walked out, and looked around. He was not in the living room either.
gone…
Looking at the empty house, I felt inexplicably melancholy.
Perhaps, when people are sick, they are always afraid of being alone and have an indescribable feeling of loneliness.
She didn't want to think about it anymore. Just go. She had been alone for the past ten years, so she was used to it, wasn't she
She sighed, hugged her pillow, sat on the sofa, and blew her hair with a hair dryer. She watched some unknown program on TV absentmindedly.
Just when her hair was half dry, the door clicked and opened from the outside. The night owl, who was thought to have left, turned back. She was stunned for a moment and turned off the hair dryer, "How do you have the key to my house?"
"It matches."
"when?"
"Last time."
"..." Bai Suye was somewhat speechless. This man was really quick. However, "Didn't you leave already?"
Night Owl glanced at her and said, "Blow dry your hair and come for breakfast."
so…
Didn't he leave just now, but went downstairs to buy breakfast
Looking down at the plastic bag in his hand, she felt a slight throbbing in her heart. After a long while, she only uttered a low "oh".
After blowing her hair, she went to the restaurant in her pajamas. Ye Xiao was pouring light white porridge into a bowl. She looked at his back and felt mixed emotions. He hated her so much, but he took care of her when she was sick. What was he thinking
"Let me do it." Bai Suye walked over and took the porridge. Ye Xiao glanced at her calmly, said nothing, and let her go. She had just finished a shower and looked very refreshed. She was very close to him, and there was a scent of lime on her body. However, it was obvious that she had not fully recovered yet, and her little face looked a little pale and bloodless.
She took two bowls and the two of them drank the porridge facing each other, each holding a bowl.
No words were spoken.
