"My pleasure, my pleasure!" The man was very happy and excited. He was very close to the woman and could smell her sweet scent.
Ye Xiao looked gloomy, took a step forward, and grabbed her again. She turned around, and he stared at her coldly, "Bai Suye, don't be ungrateful! Don't forget that our agreement has not been completely terminated! You are still my toy, and you must come whenever I call you!"
He bit the last four words hard, wanting her to remember them well.
When it comes to the agreement, Bai Suye always has nothing to say. Or maybe, she is just using this excuse to let herself indulge in her emotions for a moment
The strange man saw that she looked like she was being bullied, and couldn't help but stand up for her, "Didn't you see that she didn't want to share an umbrella with you? You..."
"Get lost!" Ye Xiao simply gave the man one word.
The cold gaze that drifted past him was even colder than the cool breeze and drizzle in autumn. The man felt his legs go weak.
It was obvious that this man was not someone to be trifled with. Not only did he have a frighteningly cold face, but he was also more than a head taller than him. If they fought, he would not stand a chance of winning.
Thinking of this, the strange man finally left obediently holding the umbrella.
… … … …
In the rain.
Only Bai Suye and Yexiao were left.
"You go and have dinner with them, I'll go downstairs and take the subway." Bai Suye's voice was quite weak and a little tired. He had a wound on his head and was caught in the rain, so he naturally didn't feel very well.
She was really tired, a tiredness that came from the heart. She didn't want to have any conflict with Night Owl in this situation.
Ye Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and dragged her to the subway station. Bai Suye was worried that she would run into someone from the Intelligence Department again. If someone took a photo of her, it would be bad for everyone. But she never broke free. In the end, she could only let him drag her forward. She looked at his broad back in a daze, her heart in a mess.
They seemed so close, so close that they could be touched. But, they were also so far away...
All the warmth and beauty they had before was nothing but a bubble.
Just a slight touch and it will all break... I can't even linger...
… … … …
the other side.
At the dinner table, only Nalan and Tang Song were left.
Nalan stared out the window in silence. The steak in front of him had already gone cold, but he didn't even move his fork.
Tang Song cursed Ye Xiao inwardly. He had only sat down for two minutes when he left with his umbrella without even saying goodbye, leaving him here to comfort his lost little sister.
"I see you haven't eaten anything. Don't you like it? If you don't like it, take the menu and change the taste. How about that?" Tang Song spoke and waved for the waiter to come over.
Nalan shook his head, "Forget it, it doesn't matter what you eat."
If you are not in a good mood, no matter how delicious the food is, it will just taste like chewing wax.
Tang Song also knew that she was unhappy, so he tried his best to adjust the atmosphere, "How about I perform a magic trick for you? It's very interesting, and I just learned it."
What a bad trick! However, it is still very useful to coax girls.
Nalan looked at him sadly, "Then can you help me turn Night Owl back?"
"..." Tang Song was speechless. He sighed and put down the spoon in his hand. "Sister, listen to me, men are like this sometimes... Some things are like the thorn in their heart. If you don't let him pull it out, he will be stuck there and feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life. So, you have to give him time."
"Give him some time... If I really want to give him some time, will he be able to pull out that thorn?" Nalan asked softly, more like talking to himself. It's been ten years, and he still hasn't pulled it out... How many more decades does he need
Tang Song couldn't bear to see a girl sad, so when he saw her like this, he quickly comforted her, "Yes, he will. Don't worry, I know him, he is very proud, and he will never allow himself to fall for Bai Suye twice. Besides, you know, even if he wants to be with Bai Suye, it depends on whether the brothers behind him agree. Unless he dies, there is only a glimmer of hope for the two of them."
At the end, Tang Song's tone became much heavier. To be honest, this was what he was most worried about. If Ye Xiao really couldn't let go of Bai Suye, in the end, he would rather choose...
Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore. The experience of having his intestines pierced and his stomach rotted ten years ago still made him feel horrified every time he thought about it.
… … … …
Bai Suye originally thought that Ye Xiao would go back after sending her to the subway entrance, but unexpectedly, he put away the umbrella but did not leave.
She really didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Ye Xiao had never taken the subway, at least, he had never taken the subway in China. He was adopted when he was a child and was taken abroad directly. Bai Suye, on the other hand, had always taken the subway when she was a child, so she was quite familiar with it. She went to queue up to buy a ticket first. The entire subway station was extremely crowded. Ye Xiao stood behind him.
He is tall.
Looking around, there was no man taller and more upright than him in the entire subway station.
Bai Suye found the subway line downstairs from his home and ordered a ticket, but Ye Xiao changed it into two. Bai Suye looked back at him, "Where are you going?"
"What do you think?"
“…” Bai Suye was increasingly confused about what Night Owl meant.
When the ticket came out, I heard Night Owl say in a gloomy tone: "I left something at your house, don't think too much."
"Oh I got it.
Bai Suye actually knew that he had left something at her house. It was a tie clip. It should have been given by Nalan, with the word "Lan" engraved on it. She found it when she was tidying up her closet yesterday. She was originally struggling with whether to return it to him, but then she thought, I'm afraid he won't remember this little thing.
Now I know that he actually remembers it very clearly. I think it must be very important to him.
Just as she was distracted, the subway arrived at the station. There were so many people that as soon as she raised her foot, she was pushed into the subway by the crowd. In a short while, she and Night Owl were separated.
After entering the carriage, she was pushed and squeezed to the innermost part, standing by another door. She wanted to look up to find Ye Xiao, but she saw that the crowd, which was almost squeezed into sandbags, had made way for her. Ye Xiao had a cold face and stood beside her. The two of them looked at each other and said nothing.
Night Owl squeezed into this crowd, really... looked out of place.
Therefore, people on the subway would cast inquiring glances at them from time to time.
Bai Suye also thought this was a wonderful experience. Out of nowhere, he actually came to squeeze into the subway, and he was with Ye Xiao.
