The soft palm and the warm heat made Ye Xiao's heart tremble slightly, but he did not turn his head, but only focused his eyes on the road ahead. Therefore, he did not notice that there were slight tears in her eyes.
"Actually, I often dream about you, good, bad, sweet, sad..." Bai Suye started, staring at the back of his hand without looking up. Her voice was very soft, not like she was talking to him, but rather to herself. "I miss you so much that I even became abnormal when I thought about you..."
Night Owl took a deep breath.
Her few simple words sent a torrent of emotion through his heart.
He could barely hold on to the steering wheel.
Is this a confession
Even if it's ten years late.
Bai Suye didn't know his mood, and was only immersed in her past mood. Her tone became more and more mournful, "Because of this, I tortured myself to the point where I felt like I was going to die at any moment..."
After she finished speaking, Ye Xiao didn't speak for a long time. He didn't even glance at her. He just continued driving in silence.
Bai Suyue couldn't see what he was thinking, but she was disappointed that her confession didn't get any response.
So, she didn't say anything else, just turned her face away from the window awkwardly, trying to adjust her mood.
But…
After a while, the car suddenly turned, and then there was a "squeak" sound, and it stopped steadily on the side of the road.
She turned away suspiciously, but before she could figure out what was going on, Night Owl grabbed her chin and turned her face to face him.
Two people looked into each other's eyes, very close to each other.
So close that all his expressions fell into her eyes.
His eyes were complicated, containing all kinds of emotions. She saw it and her heart was also excited.
Breathing, tightened a little.
"Night Owl..." She called him softly, her voice a little hoarse. She raised her hand and gently clasped his.
He breathed deeply, "Are you telling the truth? Are you lying to me?"
The trust between them was always covered with a thin veil. He wanted to believe, but was also testing and afraid to believe.
Bai Suye smiled bitterly, not daring to force it. This was all her own fault.
"So many years have passed. I really have no way to prove to you whether these words are true or not. I can't ask you to go to my dream to prove it."
Night Owl stared at her, and the next moment, he bit her lips hard. It was like a punishment, a real bite. Bai Suye felt the pain and groaned, "Night Owl, it hurts..."
He immediately loosened his grip, but his lips were still on hers, not pulling away. He stared at her with a heavy look in his eyes, "If you really want me as much as you say, why didn't you come to see me in the past ten years?"
Bai Suyue just held his hand tightly, shook her head sadly, and couldn't tell the reason.
They both knew the reason.
How could that step be so easy to take? Even after ten years, the knot between them had not faded.
She is in the most wrong position, so what right does she have to take the initiative
Ye Xiao did not ask any more questions, nor did he think about whether these words were true or she was lying to him again. At this moment, he wanted to follow his heart.
If there ever came a day when she betrayed him again, he would die with her. Dying together would mean that the past ten years of struggle would not have been in vain.
"Yexiao, your cell phone is ringing." Bai Suyue's reminder brought his thoughts back to reality.
He came back to his senses and looked at her.
She hadn't recovered yet, and the pain of the past was still lingering in her eyes. That look, with a bit of the brokenness of a little woman, made him feel stuffy in his chest.
He felt vaguely that the woman in front of him was the Bai Suye from ten years ago, the Bai Suye who always made him feel distressed. Instead of the Bai Suye he had just met ten years later, who was covered in thorns, wearing armor, strong and stubborn, and could easily provoke his anger.
But…
In fact, no matter which type of woman she is, he can't escape the fate of being trapped again and again.
He stroked her long hair, his tone unconsciously soft, "I have a call."
"Okay." She nodded.
Ye Xiao sat up straight, still holding her hand. The phone rang several times, and he took it and put it to his ear after he had adjusted his mood.
"Hey. Um, you talk, I'm listening. Um, are you sure? Okay, I get it."
He didn't say much, but Bai Suye could clearly feel that his mood was getting better and better, and his voice became much clearer later.
After hanging up the phone, he said to her, "Let's go back to the hotel."
"You're in a good mood."
While driving, Ye Xiao fiddled with her fingertips. After a while, he said, "... You're okay."
"Um?"
"It's benign." Ye Xiao was completely relaxed, and his driving posture was much more relaxed. "It's benign, it's okay. When you meet Tang Song again, just ask him to pick it up for you."
Bai Suye understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
She leaned over and rested her head on Night Owl's shoulder. "I told you it's definitely benign. You scared yourself."
Night Owl looked down at her and snorted, "Well, you are smart, and I am stupid and like to worry about nothing."
Bai Suye felt a little sweet in her heart. It was a happy thing to have someone who was more nervous about her than she was. And that person happened to be the one who was the most nervous about her, and even more nervous than she was, which was the greatest happiness in the world.
She opened her eyes and looked at his profile. She couldn't help but kiss him passionately on the neck.
Night Owl's upright body stiffened.
He held the steering wheel tightly, breathing heavily, "Stop it,"
"I'm not making a fuss." She spoke into his neck, her breath on his skin.
Night Owl let go of her hand and said, "Go to the side and sit down."
Bai Suye smiled, and seeing him tense up, she felt very refreshed. However, for her own safety, she didn't dare tease him anymore, and just sat back down obediently.
———
Dinner was eaten in the room.
Bai Suye originally wanted him to accompany her for a walk and some exercise, but in the end, Ye Xiao turned the walk into a bed exercise.
After knowing that she was fine, Ye Xiao did not restrain himself anymore. It had been a long time since he had sex with her properly, and it was just once last night. His patience had reached its limit.
It was not until the early morning that Bai Suye fell into a contented sleep.
Night Owl gazed at her sleeping form and felt that after ten years of wandering, his lonely and helpless heart finally settled down again.
His kiss went from her pretty forehead to her eyes, then to the tip of her nose, and her lips...
