At this point, his words suddenly stopped. He did not even utter the word "tears".
When talking about what happened ten years ago, his expression became a little tense.
Bai Suye also knew that he must be unhappy, so she didn't continue the topic and just said, "Let's go quickly. I'm hungry."
… … … …
Ten years later, going to the vegetable market with Night Owl was something she had never dared to imagine.
The two of them walked in the noisy vegetable market, and their ability to attract attention was 200%. Bai Suye knew that all these eyes were for Ye Xiao. When she first came to this place, she was also observed thoroughly, but now, she is familiar with the vegetable market.
"Okay, Xiaorui, are you still going to do business?" Bai Suye took a handful of garlic and put it on the scale, "Please help me get some lotus roots, corn, pork ribs, pine nuts, and carrots."
"Oh, okay, okay, right away." Xiao Rui responded while her lovely eyes drifted towards Night Owl from time to time.
Ye Xiao was used to being cold and cruel. When he felt other people's eyes on him, he would just frown slightly and not even look at anyone.
Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Sister Suye, is this your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is so handsome and cool~"
"… no."
"No? Really not?" Xiao Rui's eyes lit up.
"Then... can you give me his phone number? I don't have a boyfriend."
Bai Suye found it funny. "I don't know his phone number either. If you're not afraid of him, why don't you ask him yourself?"
When Ye Xiao heard her words, he glanced at Bai Suye with a cold look. Xiao Rui was really not afraid of death. If she really had the courage to ask for it, she would definitely not get the phone number. However, it was also good to be able to talk to her idol!
Bai Suye sighed and patted Xiaorui, "Okay, don't think about it, he has a girlfriend."
"Really?"
"Yeah. So, settle the bill for me right away."
"Oh well."
Xiao Rui looked regretful. While weighing and bagging the items, she whispered, "Sister Suye, he's so handsome, so tall, and so cool, and you're so pretty, why don't you poach him? You two are such a perfect match."
"..." Bai Suye poked her forehead helplessly, "What are you thinking about, little girl!"
Xiao Rui laughed and said, "The total is 123, no change, just 120."
Bai Suye was rummaging through her bag, and Ye Xiao had already taken out two bills and handed them over. The next moment, he picked up the packed vegetables in his hands as naturally as possible. He looked at Bai Suye seriously, said nothing, and walked out of the vegetable market first.
"Hey, I haven't found the money yet." Xiao Rui said quickly, looking at the back.
"Give it to me." Bai Suye withdrew his gaze from the back figure.
"That's right. There's no difference between giving it to you and giving it to him." Xiao Rui took out 80 yuan and said, "Sister Suye, I think you can definitely poach someone else. If he wasn't interested in you, which man would accompany you to the vegetable market?"
Although I know that Xiao Rui is a child who speaks without restraint and always likes to say things without basis, my heart still skips a beat because of her words. Finally, I took the money back and said, "When Bai Lang came with me for the first time, you said the same thing. Nonsense."
She put the 80 yuan in her pocket.
Xiao Rui laughed out loud.
… … … … …
Far away, at the other end of the vegetable market.
The 19-year-old girl looked at the two figures in dismay, her heart aching like a needle. The wind blew her long black hair, and the ends of her hair floated into her eyes. She blinked her eyelashes lightly, and tears rolled out of her eyes.
"Miss." Ah Qing was so distressed that he quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears. "Don't be sad, sir... There is nothing between sir and her. They are enemies, not lovers."
"Then... have you ever seen enemies go out to buy groceries together?"
"..." Xiao Qing didn't know what to say to comfort her. In the end, she just sighed, "I really don't know what the master is thinking, but don't worry, the master will never be with Bai Suye. Even if he wants to, his brothers will not agree. The master is so loyal, he would never betray his brothers, let alone for a woman who killed so many of his brothers and betrayed him before."
Nalan took a deep breath and slowly pinched into the flesh with her fingers. She looked at Bai Suye's back with a cold and sharp gaze, "Let's see... In Yexiao's heart, who is more important, Bai Suye or those brothers..."
… … … … … …
Bai Suye's fingers bled that night, but it wasn't serious, so she didn't take it seriously. But now, when she was washing the vegetables, it hurt.
She had no choice but to put the food down, go to the medicine box, take out a Band-Aid and put it on each of her fingers.
After a while, he was about to go back to the kitchen, but he could hear the sound of water splashing from afar. In the open kitchen, Ye Xiao was busy washing vegetables. His movements were very skillful. Bai Suye knew that he knew how to cook.
When he was very young, his family lived in poverty. When he was five years old, he fell seriously ill. In order to raise medical expenses for him, his mother went out to work, but was swindled by human traffickers and has been missing ever since. It was also from that time that Ye Xiao began to understand things. He cooked for himself. Later, by accident, because of his coldness and ruthlessness, he was noticed by his adoptive father. From then on, he was taken abroad for adoption, living a life of dependence but not worrying about food and clothing.
"You're just standing there watching. Why don't you come over and put on my apron?"
The voice of Night Owl brought her thoughts back abruptly.
She said "Oh" and took out an apron from the cupboard for him. He didn't take it, but just skillfully took the kitchen knife and cut vegetables while saying, "Help me tie it on."
Her apron was a half-length one. Bai Suye looked at his broad back, held the apron with one hand and passed it around his waist, then took the other end with the other hand and tied the rope behind her back with familiarity. Her apron was gray, and it didn't look out of place on him.
She looked at him, her mind a little dazed. She couldn't help but feel a little greedy... If life could go on like this, how wonderful it would be. Thinking about it, the corners of her lips couldn't help but slightly rise, even unconsciously.
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing her smile, Ye Xiao was startled and almost cut his finger.
She suddenly realized, "So you are so virtuous. I have never seen you cook before."
Virtuous
"It's not a compliment that makes people happy."
Too feminine! !
"But I really can't think of any other words to describe you. You keep busy, I'll go deal with the documents. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to call me."
