Ye Xiao drove the car back and smoked a few cigarettes on the way without noticing. The figure that kept turning over and over in his mind made him feel more and more stuffy and irritable.
When he got home, the people at the door were scared to see him like this.
Could this be a robbery
But who dares to rob you? You don't want to live.
…
Nalan was sullen and locked herself in the room all night. No matter how Ah Qing tried to coax her, she didn't say a word. She just sat by the window, staring out the window, waiting for the man.
She thought he would not come back tonight, but the car lights approaching from afar made her eyes light up.
In this castle, he is the only one who has the right to drive the car to the main entrance.
She was still in a daze, but she almost immediately slid down from the bay window. Ah Qing was already running upstairs, "Miss, please come out quickly, the master is back. He is alone, and he didn't bring Miss Bai with him."
Hearing the last sentence, Nalan breathed a sigh of relief. He took a smooth breath, opened the door, and walked out.
Downstairs, Night Owl just came in.
"Sir, what happened to you? How did you get injured like this?" His half-naked upper body and face were covered with wounds, and even the servant who opened the door was frightened.
"It's okay." Ye Xiao walked in and went upstairs. He needed to take a shower to wash away the restlessness in his heart.
Go upstairs.
On the stairs, I happened to meet Nalan.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Night Owl looked at her.
"... I don't know where you went, I was worried, so... I couldn't sleep." Nalan looked at him with some sadness, suddenly took a step down, and gently put her hands around his waist. Her face was pressed against his chest, "I called you, but you didn't answer. I was worried that something happened to you."
Night Owl was slightly startled.
He leaned over and looked at Nalan's face that looked like someone else, and his brows furrowed even deeper for a moment.
That face was like a spell pulling at his nerves.
and…
Now that he looked at her more carefully, he felt that Nalan was actually very different from her. At least, he was completely different from the current Bai Suye. Her face was full of determination and stubbornness. How could she ever give in to him like Nalan did
It was just that there was no anesthesia just now, and even though it was so painful, she didn't even make a sound.
"Night Owl?" Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Nalan looked up in confusion.
He came back to his senses.
"I'm fine, you go to sleep." Ye Xiao relaxed his brows. He was in no mood to coax her. He pulled her hands away from her waist and said, "I'm dirty, so I'll go up first."
She didn't stop again, and had no intention of even looking at Nalan's lost look at the moment. She only left her with her back.
Nalan looked at him in a daze behind him, and finally, he sighed deeply.
Night Owl is becoming more and more indifferent to me...
The real person has appeared, so her substitute is no longer in her eyes, right
"Miss." Ah Qing looked at her worriedly.
Nalan pursed his lips and said, "I'm fine. I'll go upstairs first."
After Ye Xiao entered the room and closed the door, she followed him back. Ah Qing sighed, "Miss, you have become less and less happy since you returned home. It was so good before, you were carefree with your master. Why is it different now?"
"How can they be the same?" Nalan asked softly, with unspeakable bitterness in every word.
In the past, there was no third person between them. He had never been close to women, so she never had to worry about any woman snatching Night Owl away from her.
However, it was not until Bai Suye appeared that she realized that he was not indifferent to women, but that all women were no match for the withered poppy in his heart...
Even though that flower has withered for ten years...
[Off topic: I have to say one more thing, don’t get my name Su Ye wrong again, it’s the same as the name of poppy~]
… … … …
After taking a shower, Ye Xiao came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, and wiped his hair casually with a dry towel.
It's late at night.
The night was peaceful, without any noise, but the quieter it was, the more uneasy he felt. He turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel, but he was still distracted, as if something was pulling at his heart.
finally…
Ten minutes later, he gave up, threw away his towel, changed his clothes, went to her room, grabbed his car keys and went out.
"Sir, are you going out so late?" the servant asked hurriedly when he saw him hurriedly coming down from upstairs.
"Yeah. No need to leave the door open for me. I won't be back tonight."
"yes."
He quickly disappeared into the castle.
Upstairs, Nalan followed his car with her eyes. Until his headlights completely disappeared in the huge garden, her eyes also completely darkened...
In her heart, the vines of jealousy continued to grow uncontrollably. They grew longer and more luxuriant, tightly wrapping around her heart...
… … … …
The calming effect of the medicine was indeed good. An hour later, Bai Suye fell asleep.
Even when the nurse came to check on me, I had no idea.
I didn't even know that Night Owl would appear here.
"Mr. Night Owl." The nurse stepped out and pushed the door open, almost bumping into the man's arms. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly backed away.
Night Owl didn't say anything, but pressed his long index finger against his lips, signaling her to be quiet so as not to wake up the people inside.
The nurse lowered her voice and said, "Miss Bai has fallen asleep."
"How is she now?"
"I took some anti-inflammatory medicine, and I'm fine for now."
"Um."
Ye Xiao nodded slightly, said nothing, and waved his hand to let the nurse go out.
He carefully checked her wounds and was relieved to see that they were not bad. Thinking of the violence he had committed against her at night, his expression darkened. He half-lay on the bed, carefully lifted the quilt, reached into her hospital gown and pants, and applied the ointment to her. Before leaving, he did not forget to go to her room to bring out the ointment. Ye Xiao felt that this action was mostly out of guilt.
Although she was hateful and deserved everything she had to endure, she was still a woman after all, and he was not as cruel as her.
Bai Suye was sleeping soundly, dazed, and hadn't woken up yet. When the finger touched her wound, she groaned softly, "It hurts..."
That soft sound would never be heard when one is awake.
Ye Xiao only felt his chest tremble, and all the hard edges softened in an instant. He hugged her and leaned her against his chest, and gently pinched her soft earlobe with his fingers, "I'll be gentle..."
The strength in my hands suddenly became much lighter.
Bai Suye uttered a confused "hmm" and fell asleep with her face buried in his chest.
Although she knew it was not allowed, Ye Xiao did not let her go. She lay down on the bed with her clothes on and fell asleep.
