The subway started and stopped.
There was originally one or two steps between Ye Xiao and her, but as more and more people came, he moved closer and closer to her...
At one of the busiest stations, the crowds rushed in, and she was squeezed by the people and stumbled. Ye Xiao looked at the men rubbing against her - she was only wearing a white shirt, which became a little transparent after being soaked by the rain. The men next to her would look at her from time to time!
He glanced at her coldly, and the next second, he had extended his hand and held her in his arms.
He was still holding the umbrella with one hand and with the other hand on her lower back, pressing her tightly against his chest.
Bai Suyue was startled. His sudden approach and all of his breath rushed over her, making her feel her heartbeat irregular and her nose sore.
She really wanted to indulge in this without caring about anything. Feel his warmth, breathe his breath; not worry about her own position, not care about his life or death...
However, her reason made her subconsciously move back and keep a safe distance from him.
"Don't move!" He said unhappily, staring at the people around him with a fierce look.
"I'm all wet."
"..." Night Owl ignored her completely. When the crowd rushed over, he dropped his umbrella, hugged her tightly with both hands, and created a safe space for her.
The man hugged her tightly. She could hear his heartbeat and feel the heat of his body. Bai Suye had never felt so secure.
He was like a towering tree, growing here, protecting her from the wind and rain, and making her feel safe and calm. However, it was this kind of steadiness that made her feel even more sad. The director's words, the photos taken by the intelligence department, and his life and death...
She didn't dare to think of that kind of ending.
… … … … …
I took the subway for more than 10 stops.
Bai Suye tensed her body, not allowing herself to lose herself in his arms.
In the middle of the conversation, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw the words "Nalan" flashing on the screen. Bai Suye also saw it. Her hands tightened. She turned her face away calmly and fell out of the window.
It was dark outside the window, just a tunnel, but she stared at it without blinking.
Then, his voice was heard.
"Yeah, I'll be right back. You two can wait for me there. It's nothing, I just picked up something I left behind."
Bye.
No more words.
Bai Suye's body took another small step back, and Ye Xiao could feel it.
He lowered his head and looked at her coldly, trying to read something from her face, whether it was care, jealousy, or even anger. However, after looking at her for a long time, her face only showed indifference!
Night Owl suddenly felt that his action of rushing out with an umbrella was very ridiculous.
He thought, he cared so much about her feelings, but he was unwilling to accept it. He was unwilling to accept that she had played tricks on him before and now she had completely given up on him. So, did he still love her? It was impossible! Unless he was crazy!
While he was thinking, the subway arrived at the station. Many people got off, and the space became much looser. Bai Suye stepped away from his arms and got off first.
Night Owl followed behind her.
In the end, Ye Xiao did not go upstairs, and Bai Suye took his tie clip and brought it down.
"Then I'll go up first."
Ye Xiao held up an umbrella and nodded indifferently. Through the heavy rain curtain, he watched her running in the rain and entering the residential building. She didn't even look back the whole time...
Hold the umbrella tightly.
The raindrops hung on his face, making his cold face even colder.
… … … … …
The night owl didn't have dinner.
When he returned to the restaurant, he looked very unhappy.
Tang Song and Nalan didn't have much appetite, so the three of them just paid the bill and left. Ye Xiao took Tang Song back to the hospital first.
Tang Song asked Nalan to wait in the car while he and Ye Xiao went into the hospital to smoke a cigarette.
"I say, you've gone too far this time. You just threw the girl to me like that. She's so sad."
Night Owl took a long puff and said nothing.
Tang Song said: "Ye Xiao, you are silent, what are you thinking about? You say, if you don't like Bai Suye, why can't you bear to see her suffer? Didn't you say you wanted to torture her? She got caught in the rain, and you rushed to give her an umbrella. Your torture is really interesting!"
The lines on Night Owl's face were tense. "Her wound was caused by me. I sent her an umbrella only out of moral obligation."
"Bah! The woman whose hand you broke last time is still recuperating in the hospital. How come I haven't seen you go to see her? Where has your sense of justice gone?"
Ye Xiao glanced at Tang Song irritably, "Stop talking nonsense, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say, Ye Xiao, you can't beat Bai Suye. If you continue to play with her like this, it's not her who will be tortured, but you!"
"Why the hell can't I beat her?"
Night Owl's expression already looked quite grim.
If it were in the past, Tang Song would not have continued talking, but now it is different.
"Because you love her much more than she loves you, so you couldn't beat her ten years ago, and you still can't beat her ten years later!"
Ye Xiao threw away the cigarette butt and grabbed Tang Song's collar, "Tang Song, I'm warning you, think clearly about what you can and cannot say!"
"I know much more than you do! Look at yourself, what have you become these past few days? You who never get drunk can even get yourself drunk. But look at Bai Suye! Without you, she is still living a good life! She has a boyfriend who knows to come to the hospital for check-ups on time, and is in a much better spirit than you! If you want to have fun, can you beat her? Ye Xiao, I told her about your intestinal tract rupture for her ten years ago. I ask you, has she ever asked you a question? Has she ever apologized to you for this matter? Has she ever felt sorry for you? Has she ever cared about you? She just turned a blind eye!"
The series of questions made Ye Xiao feel like his heart was broken into pieces.
Some emotions were suppressed in his chest, roaring and rushing against his heart, as if they had nowhere to vent.
He raised his fist and punched Tang Song.
Tang Song didn't dodge and took the punch head-on. A trace of blood appeared on the corner of his lips. "You dare to do this to me! If you have the energy, do this to Bai Suye! Can you be so cruel?"
Night Owl's eyes were red, and he looked a little ferocious. But he put away his fist and didn't attack again.
"Ye Xiao, I'm your brother. I pulled you back from the brink of death once. I don't want to pull you back a second time. Do you understand?" Tang Song gritted his teeth and wanted to scold him to wake him up. "Bai Suye is the calamity of your life. She has already killed you once. If you are smart, you should stay away from her, as far away as possible!"
keep away
If possible, he wanted to stay away from her more than anyone else!
But every time... every time the result is that I can't help myself! It always ends in failure!
