"What about Night Owl?"
"Mr. Ye Xiao and Mr. Yu An are both resting now. The young master said they were overworked and asked us not to disturb them."
Bai Suye nodded, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Last night in the desert, Ye Xiao didn't sleep all night, and he was highly focused for a long time, so it would be strange if he wasn't tired.
"Give me the porridge. I'll have a sip."
"OK."
The servant opened the small table on the bed and put the porridge down.
"Miss Bai, when I was giving you a bath just now, I found a small red and swollen lump on the back of your neck. It must have been bitten by a bug in the desert. Do you want me to find some medicine to apply on it?"
Bai Suye subconsciously touched the back of her neck. It was a little itchy at first, but now it doesn't feel any pain. She shook her head, "No, it's fine now."
"That's fine."
"By the way, is your signal blocked? I want to make a call."
"Wait a moment." The maid turned around and brought over a walkie-talkie. Bai Suye thanked her and hung up the phone directly to the National Security Bureau. The director answered the phone, and when he heard her voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our people have already reached the outside of the Sayan Desert. I didn't expect you to be safe."
"Tell everyone to leave and stay out of the desert to avoid unnecessary casualties. I am safe now and will be out of the desert soon."
"So where are you now?" the director asked.
"I..." Bai Suye didn't want to mention Ye Xiao, so he just said, "I met someone from the Tang Sect, and he should be in Tang Jue's base now."
"Tang Jue?" The director groaned. Tang Jue was also a famous legendary figure. He did not expect that he, the leader of an anarchist organization, would actually save people from their S country government.
"Chief, are the hostages safe?"
"Don't worry about that. The hostages have now been sent back to the country and have been settled."
Bai Suye felt relieved in his heart. "That's good. I'm not in good health right now. I may need to rest here for two days before returning home."
"No rush. As long as you are safe, everything is fine!"
Perhaps because of the fever, Bai Suye felt tired again, so she didn't say anything more. She hung up the phone, finished her porridge, and asked the servant: "Which room is Ye Xiao staying in?"
"The room to your right."
When Bai Suye heard her say this, he glanced sideways at the wall on the right, and felt much more at peace when he realized that he was still very close to him.
only…
After leaving here, they will just be him and her again.
He returned to his city of Judea, where he had his fiancée, mother, and adoptive father…
She returned to her country S to complete her work and mission...
Her heart was filled with sadness. Bai Suye closed her eyes again, not allowing herself to think any more. She fell asleep again in a daze.
… …
midnight.
She woke up.
The needle in her arm was removed, and she touched her forehead, and the fever had subsided a lot.
But, my mouth is still dry.
After sleeping for so long, she felt much better. She threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and walked out of the room.
Maybe it was because it was late at night, the whole house was very quiet. No lights were on. She wanted to drink some water, but she couldn't figure out where the kitchen was. She felt around on the wall for a long time and found the light switch, but couldn't turn it on. She finally understood that people like Tang Jue were so cautious and careful that even the light switches were fingerprinted.
I'm afraid this house is full of traps.
After thinking this, Bai Suye didn't dare to walk around.
She thought of the Night Owl...
I wonder if he is still in the next room...
Thinking of him, she suddenly felt a lot of complicated emotions. She turned to the right room and knocked on the door gently, but she didn't hear any sound.
After a moment's hesitation, she opened the door and walked in carefully.
"who?"
A deep voice sounded in her ears, and she was held by the man. She felt a cool sensation on her neck.
The sharp dagger was right on the aorta in her neck.
Bai Suye took a breath and didn't dare to move.
"Su Su?"
Just from her breathing, he could tell it was her. Night Owl cursed softly and threw the dagger into the corner.
"Did it hurt you?" he asked in a low voice.
Bai Suye touched his neck and shook his head, "No. But, it was almost there."
Just as she finished her words, she felt a heat on her neck. The long fingers of the Night Owl had already climbed onto her delicate skin and landed on the place where the dagger had just landed.
If the touch of the dagger just now was chilling, then now...
Bai Suye only felt the heat from his fingertips penetrating through her skin and into every cell of her body.
Her heart beat faster.
With a slight gasp, she clasped his fingertips.
"... I'm fine." Even his voice softened unconsciously.
Night Owl's eyes became deeper.
There was no light in the room, only a little bit of moonlight outside the window.
The two of them were very close, his tall body enveloped her. The two people's breaths were entangled together, and there was an indescribable ambiguity in this scene.
Bai Suye's breathing became tense, and she could only hear him ask in a low voice: "Is the fever gone?"
"… Um."
Night Owl seemed still worried, and raised his hand to touch her forehead. "Why is it still so hot?"
"..." Bai Suye put her hands on his chest, "How can you not feel hot when you're so close to me?"
She wanted to push him away, but Night Owl was too tall and she couldn't move.
He locked his eyes on her, "Why do you want to come to my room so late?"
"..." Bai Suye licked her dry lips, "I don't want to come to your room."
Night Owl's face darkened and his tone lowered, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Suye said in frustration, "I'm thirsty and want to drink some water. But the light switches in this house are fingerprint-recorded, so I can't open them. I don't know where the kitchen is. So... I had to come to you."
It's really quite forced!
Night Owl's displeasure was clearly expressed. He snorted, stepped back, and turned on the light in the room with a click.
Tang Jue had recorded his fingerprints, and he felt like he was at home here.
The strong light shone over, and Bai Suye had not yet adapted to it. He narrowed his eyes and subconsciously blocked the light with his hand. After a while, he put his hand down.
She subconsciously looked at Night Owl, whose gaze was fixed on her.
After taking a shower, she looked refreshed, and her long hair, which had not been blown, fell straight and soft on her shoulders, covering her slender back.
The white pajamas made her look even more beautiful. She looked like this, reminding him of the pure and youthful Bai Suye ten years ago.
The color of his eyes became somewhat deeper.
Bai Suye felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her. She slowly opened the door a crack and looked back at him, "Can you... turn on the light outside for me? I'm going to get some water."
