Bai Suye felt extremely sad at this moment.
The scene of Night Owl blowing her hair ten years ago flashed through her mind like a movie. She thought she had forgotten the details, but now she remembered them so clearly.
"Your hair is still wet, you are not allowed to go to bed!" At that time, she had just fallen on the bed and was picked up by Night Owl mercilessly.
"Well~ Let me sleep, Night Owl, please... I've been riding a horse all day today, I'm so tired." She murmured coquettishly, her whole body almost hanging on Night Owl.
"Have you forgotten about the last time you woke up with a headache because your hair was not dry?" Night Owl held her tightly as she collapsed into a ball, and lectured her with a stern face.
But she was not afraid at all. She was almost asleep now. With her eyes half closed, she chuckled and said, "Yeah, I forgot. I forgot everything..."
Night Owl had no way to deal with her. He carried her to the bathroom. Finally, he put her on the glass table in the bathroom and coaxed her to sleep while blowing her hair.
———
At that time, Night Owl treated her like a child.
As she was thinking, the face in the picture that was originally her own suddenly turned into Nalan's face.
One day in the future, he will do with Nalan everything he is doing with himself now...
Realizing this, her heart suddenly tightened and she gasped heavily in pain.
"Stop blowing." She moved away, avoiding the wind from the hair dryer.
Night Owl stared at her dodging him with a serious expression, "Come here!"
She shook her head...
He leaned against the glass table, using both hands to dig into the surface of the table, barely able to support himself. The pain in his chest could not be dispelled.
If there will never be tenderness again in the future, it would be a very cruel thing for her to let her sink deeper and deeper now...
"Come here, you have just recovered from an illness, you can't catch a cold." Ye Xiao always spoke to her in such a calm and cold tone, but there was stubbornness in his eyes.
Bai Suye really wants to escape...
She was almost heartbroken by the sweet memories of the past and the sad separation of the present.
She ignored Night Owl and turned to walk out of the bathroom. However, Night Owl was one step faster than her, and with a long arm, he pulled her back. She was pressed against the wall, and his tall body was approaching.
But before he could open his mouth, a tear fell from Bai Suye's eyes, "Ye Xiao, do you know that you are very cruel to me?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse.
He was stunned.
Her accusation left him confused. However, it became his instinct to feel sorry for her...
"You will be someone else's husband soon. What right do you have to care whether I have a cold or not? And what right do you have to be nice to me?" She burst into tears. "Night Owl, do you know that I... I would rather you humiliate me and abuse me like you did when we first met..."
That way, at least, in the long years ahead, she could still hate him and persuade herself to let him go...
A trace of sadness flashed across Night Owl's eyes. He slowly put down the hair dryer and stared at her, "Do you want to forget me just like that?"
"...Yes." She nodded vigorously, "I want to forget you, I must forget you..."
Otherwise, she would die. No, it would be worse than death...
Night Owl's breathing became heavier. He didn't want her to forget him. No matter whether the memory was good or bad, he selfishly hoped that he would have a place in her heart, even if it was just a small corner.
But…
In the end, all these words were swallowed up by her tears. He just said coolly, "In that case, blow dry your hair yourself."
The last sentence was said in a hoarse voice, revealing a deep sense of weariness.
Bai Suye stood against the wall for a long time without moving. Only when his figure disappeared in the bathroom and the door was closed did she slowly squat down along the cold wall in pain.
Pale face, deeply buried in knees.
after all…
This man who had made me miss him for ten years and made me sleepless for ten years now belongs to someone else...
From then on, he was truly a man she couldn't catch or touch...
Bai Suye covered her chest tightly, but the pain continued to flood out...
… … … …
Night Owl lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a red circle in his eyes. For a long time, her words, "I want to forget you, I must forget you..."
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes.
There was no more sound of the hair dryer in the bathroom.
She didn't come out for a long time.
The sky outside gradually darkened.
He lay in bed for a long time and called to order dinner from the restaurant. He didn't open the door and go back to the bathroom until the meal was delivered to the room.
This stupid woman was still squatting in the corner, not moving at all.
With disheveled hair.
She squatted there for at least an hour or two!
His eyebrows twitched.
She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and she couldn't utter a single word. She stepped in, bent over and gently picked her up from the ground.
He thought she was asleep, but the moment he picked her up, she opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
His body stiffened.
At this moment, his hardened heart softened unconsciously. He lowered his head and looked at her pale face in his arms, "I'll carry you out to eat something."
"... I have no appetite." All her dying struggles and lingering gasps were ultimately overwhelmed by her desire to grasp the last bit of warmth. Instead of pushing him away, she hugged him tighter.
"Eat a little." He also had no appetite.
Bai Suye shook his head and pleaded, "Yexiao, let me sleep for a while... Okay? I have a headache..."
Night Owl looked up at the time and said, "You can still sleep for two hours."
"Okay, then just sleep for two hours." Bai Suye didn't ask why it was two hours. In fact, she knew very well...
This most familiar room is also the best spot to watch the fireworks over the sea.
Ye Xiao laid her down on the bed. She still had her arms around his neck, her eyes closed. He only heard her whisper, "Ye Xiao, hold me while I sleep, okay?"
There was a hint of depth in his eyes.
He stared at her, and finally nodded, "Okay."
He held her in one hand and lifted the quilt with the other. The two of them fell into the soft big bed together. He grabbed the quilt and wrapped them tightly.
Two cold bodies, at this moment, desperately trying to warm each other.
Bai Suye curled up on his chest, murmuring half-consciously: "I haven't had a good sleep in a long time..."
Night Owl patted her back gently for a long time, then uttered three words, "Me too."
