She turned around and was pulled into Night Owl's arms. She met his deep gaze and asked, "Where's the photo?"
Bai Suye finally came to his senses.
The way he wanted to eat me alive was not because of his documents, but because of her ID photo
She looked up, "Night Owl, that photo is of me."
Night Owl was silent for a moment, then he said confidently, "So? Since it's you, you can take it without asking?"
"When you took this photo of mine, didn't you do it without asking?"
"Are you trying to discuss ownership of the item with me now?" Night Owl's free hand had already reached into her windbreaker pocket. She grabbed his hand and said, "You can take my photo, but... I want to exchange it."
"exchange?"
"You have to give me a picture of yourself."
Night Owl obviously didn't expect her to make such a request. He was slightly surprised for a moment, and then his expression eased a lot. "What do you want my photo for?"
Bai Suye did not answer, but just asked: "Then will you give it to me? If you don't, I won't give you this photo either."
As she spoke, she tightened her hands in her windbreaker pockets and really held the photo tightly in her palms.
How could Ye Xiao allow her to threaten him casually? With a hook of his finger, he easily pried open her clenched hand, and the photo fell directly into his hand.
Bai Suyue wanted to take it back, but Ye Xiao was one step faster than her. He turned around and put the photo back into the drawer, entered the password, and locked it.
Bai Suye stared at Ye Xiao and complained unhappily, "You are robbing me openly."
"You haven't answered me yet - what do you want my photo for?" He asked again, and Night Owl stared at her intently, with a hint of expectation in his heart.
I have been holding his photos for so many years, like a medicine. Whenever I feel the most uncomfortable, I will take out her photos to look at them for comfort.
However, every time at that time, there would be an even more unbearable longing that would tear at his heart. So much so that later, he pressed the photo in the deepest corner, along with her.
Bai Suye was silent for a moment, looking at him with complicated eyes, feeling a little melancholy in her heart, "If it is... can I keep it as a souvenir?"
"Memorial?" Because of these two words, a nameless fire rose in Ye Xiao's heart.
What kind of things need to be kept as a commemoration? It is always when we are separated, or even when we don't know when we will see each other again, that we need the word "commemoration"! So, she is staying here now, still planning to withdraw from his world at any time? !
But just now at the dinner table, he was still imagining the scene of their future family of three...
Such wishful thinking and self-conceit are particularly stupid. It is simply too stupid!
Ye Xiao didn't say anything, for he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, his emotions would inexplicably get out of control.
He lit a cigarette, stood at the window, and took two long puffs. Bai Suye looked at his cold back, wanting to say something, but she said nothing.
After waiting for a while, Night Owl extinguished his cigarette heavily and turned around. "Let's go. I'll take you back."
Every word spoken was filled with indifference.
After saying that, he passed her by without even looking at her.
Looking at the night owl like this, Bai Suye felt a tight pain in her heart. She found that she could no longer stand his indifference towards her.
After reuniting with him, she felt that her heart was as hard as a diamond. She could endure any ridicule or humiliation he made her suffer. However, now, she was becoming more and more vulnerable and felt wronged more and more easily...
"Night Owl..."
She stood still in the room and called him.
The night owl ignored him and didn't look back.
It was obviously him who was angry just now, but now, his attitude made her even angrier, "Night Owl, I'm calling you."
Night Owl remained silent and walked downstairs.
Bai Suye felt even more upset, and she stubbornly frowned, refusing to leave. Instead, she sat down angrily on the sofa in his room, hugging her pillow. She seemed to be staying here unless he came to invite her!
She had no idea that her behavior was actually quite childish, just like a little woman who usually quarreled with her boyfriend.
After waiting for a while, she heard the footsteps of Night Owl coming back. He came in from outside, slammed the door shut, and looked at her on the sofa with cold eyes. Bai Suye turned away, wanting to put on a stern face to show her anger, but the next moment...
Meeting his angry eyes, I felt even more aggrieved.
The tip of my nose felt sore and my eyes suddenly turned red uncontrollably.
She discovered something terrible—not only had she become more fragile, but she even… really cried more easily. And, only in front of this man…
Her tears came without warning, leaving Ye Xiao stunned for a moment and feeling a dull pain in his heart.
All the anger was instantly extinguished as if it had met a bucket of cold water.
"Why are you...crying?" He spoke with difficulty, and compared to his previous indifference, he was now a little more subconsciously soft. He was always unable to fight back against her tears.
Bai Suye sniffed and swallowed back her tears. She ignored him, threw the pillow away, and stood up to leave.
When I passed by him, he stopped me as expected.
"Let me go!" She pretended to be angry and pushed him away, but in fact she didn't use any strength at all.
Night Owl held her tight.
After a long while, Shenchen leaned close to her ear, feeling a little distressed and a little helpless, and asked, "Why are you crying?"
When she cries, his heart will be completely messed up. He won't be able to lose his temper at all, and in the end, it will become his fault, which will lead to his endless self-examination.
"You chased me away." Bai Suye complained aggrievedly, "I am a guest invited by your mother, but you kept chasing me away."
"Yes, I am driving you away. We have nothing to do with each other, why should I keep you here?"
Bai Suye was stunned.
She raised her head and stared at Night Owl blankly. After realizing what he was saying, the tears she had just held back could no longer be restrained and fell.
But…
What he said, however, was the truth.
Now, they really have nothing to do with each other.
"Why don't you tell me, why should I keep trying to keep a woman I can never keep? A woman who is ready to walk away from my life at any time, shouldn't I tell her to get out of here while I still have some sense?"
He held her chin, his eyes deep, and the strength of his hands increased, showing his anger at the moment, and the pain in his heart caused by his unrequited love. "I have tortured myself for long enough, and you still want me to continue to torture myself for ten, twenty years, or even the rest of my life? Will you be happy or complacent if I do this?"
