Night Owl came back to his senses.
Please calm down and concentrate on what you just did.
He glanced at her and walked out before her. He was obviously familiar with this house and found the switch of the hall light accurately. In an instant, the hall was lit up, and the high-end furnishings and decorations came into Bai Suye's eyes.
Tang Jue is also a person with great taste. It can be seen that every piece of decoration here is designed by a famous artist.
"Don't touch anything here. Tang Jue has installed hidden weapons on most of them." Ye Xiao whispered to her as he walked down.
It turned out to be just as she expected.
Tang Jue, a weapons genius, certainly would not waste his strengths.
"Yeah." Bai Suye responded and followed behind Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao took two steps up the stairs and stretched out his hand to her. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could come to her senses, Ye Xiao took her hand in his naturally.
The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she took a step forward, walking down the stairs side by side with him.
"Night Owl." She called him suddenly.
"Um?"
"You... still prefer pure types?"
She didn't ignore the way he was distracted when he saw her just now.
Night Owl was surprised by her sudden question. He glanced at her sideways, then turned his gaze away. He just said lightly, "I don't like it."
"You're lying. The look in your eyes just now betrayed you. But..." Bai Suye paused before continuing, "Yexiao, I'm actually no longer the Bai Suye I used to be. You risked your life to rush into the desert for the sake of who I am now. I'm really afraid you'll regret it."
"Whether I regret it or not is my business, and it has nothing to do with you."
Ye Xiao also thought that the type of girl he liked was probably what she used to be like. A little naughty, a little cute, a little pure, she would act like a spoiled child, get angry, and make trouble with him. However, ten years later, he finally understood...
It was her that he liked, just this person.
No matter what she looks like, good or bad, pleasing or hateful, she can't escape the three words "white millet leaf" in the end. No matter how much Nalan looks like her, she is not her. It can't stir up even the slightest ripple in his heart.
… …
kitchen.
Bai Suye poured herself a glass of water. Ye Xiao did not come in, but just sat on the sofa outside.
There were some weapon manuals next to the sofa, and he flipped through them. From her angle, she could only see Ye Xiao's handsome profile. Bai Suye held the water cup and thought about her escape from death this time, and the words he said in her ear when he suddenly appeared from the sky. He was as domineering and strong as ever, but every time she thought of him, ripples would appear in her heart.
She poured another glass of water, took it in her hand, carried it out, and handed it to him.
Night Owl then raised his head, put the weapons manual aside, and looked at her.
Bai Suye sat down beside him and said, "You should drink some water too."
"Um."
"When... do we leave?" Bai Suye thought for a moment and asked.
Night Owl paused slightly while drinking water.
After a long while, he asked solemnly, "Can't wait to go back?"
Bai Suye's breathing tightened and he didn't say anything.
After leaving this desert, can they still be as calm as they are now? Maybe... they may not even have the chance to meet again...
Thinking of this, my heart ached unconsciously. A thin layer of mist covered my eyes.
Ye Xiao said in a deep voice: "If you want to leave, tomorrow... Tang Jue can arrange for you to leave here."
"What about you?" Bai Suye's voice was a little muffled. "Are you still going back to Judea?"
Night Owl's eyes deepened, "... That's my home, just like Country S is your home."
yes…
His mother, adoptive father, fiancée, career and all his brothers were in Judea. Naturally, he wanted to go back to Judea.
She felt like she had asked a stupid question.
Bai Suye put down the cup in her hand, raised her eyes to look at him, then turned away and asked in a relaxed manner: "Then...will we be able to meet again in the future?"
"Do you want to see me?" Ye Xiao's eyes were deep. It seemed that he wanted to see through her body and into her heart.
Bai Suye's breathing tightened and he was silent for a long time.
This silence let him know the answer. Lost and cold, it took over his heart.
"Since you've already had some water, go upstairs and continue to rest. It's getting late." Ye Xiao put down the cup expressionlessly and stood up first. Every word he spoke was filled with a hint of coolness.
Bai Suye looked at his back and felt a pain in her chest.
"Night Owl."
She called him and heard a hint of sob in her voice.
Night Owl stopped and did not look back.
Bai Suye took a step forward and walked in front of him.
"I haven't said thank you for this time."
Thanks
Ye Xiao felt upset; these were not the two words he wanted to hear.
"Go to sleep." He wanted to push her away.
The moment his hand landed on her arm, she suddenly reached out and held his. He instinctively tried to break free, but she held him tighter.
The next moment, she said softly: "I... miss you very much..."
Night Owl was startled.
A complex emotion surged in my heart.
He wondered if he was hallucinating.
"I really miss you..." Bai Suye didn't look at him, but just kept her eyes on his hand. Her voice was very low, as if she was talking to herself. She tried her best to control her emotions, but her trembling eyelashes still betrayed her. She repeated, "Night Owl, I miss you every day..."
Night Owl's breathing tightened, and the next moment, he stretched out his long arms and hugged her directly into his arms. He was very strong, and pressed his big hand on her lower back, making her whole soft body press against his broad and strong chest. He asked in a low voice: "Do you know what you are saying?"
The two people were unusually close.
The tip of his nose was almost touching hers. The lights were bright, Bai Suye grabbed his nightgown with both hands, and stared at him with a far-reaching gaze.
At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to be too sober or too calm. She had been suppressing her emotions for too long and needed an outlet. She nodded, "I said I miss you so much... Are you willing to believe me again?"
There was a bright glow in Night Owl's eyes as he stared at her, as if thinking about something.
The next moment, he suddenly bent down and kissed her lips hard.
Are you still willing to believe
he does not know.
As the saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years." He has always been in a huge contradiction with her, which makes him suffer and suffer.
The two of them were like standing on two ends of a scale. When she lifted him up, he would instinctively be on guard against whether she would suddenly pull away like she did ten years ago, causing him to fall to pieces again.
And what about himself? He knew that no matter how high she stood, he would never let her fall! The first one to withdraw would never be him!
The more unequal the emotional investment is, the less secure he feels and the more he worries about gains and losses.
