this day.
While Bai Suye was making soup in the hotel kitchen, Ye Xiao's cell phone was ringing in the living room, but no one answered it.
"Night Owl?" Bai Suye called him.
No sound.
She walked over and took Ye Xiao's phone. The number flashing on it was Yu An's. She looked around the room and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She knocked on the door, "Ye Xiao, your phone has been ringing."
"who is it?"
"Yu An."
"Please listen to it for me and tell him. I will reply to him later."
"Um."
Bai Suye answered the phone and walked into the hall. Before she could speak, she heard Yu An speak first: "Sir, the specific time and address of the contract have been sent to your email."
Bai Suye took a deep breath, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
Sign a contract
If she guessed correctly, it should be about the arms contract. In fact, it was only a few days away from their original date.
She wanted to say something, but Yu An was busy. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Bai Suye's mind was a little confused for a moment, and her mind was full of things about the mailbox. She pondered for a moment, and the next second, she turned around and walked towards the study.
On the desk, Night Owl's computer is there.
During this period, he had already moved his workplace to her place...
She sat at the desk, her hands pressed on the covered notebook, her fingers felt a little cold. Every part of her body felt cold...
After taking several deep breaths, she finally turned on the computer. It was the first time she found the laptop cover so heavy. She shook it twice before she could fix it. She clicked into his email. His email had always been set with a complicated password. Bai Suye was a former agent, so these unlocking projects were naturally not difficult for her.
When she entered the last password, the string of numbers turned out to be her birthday...
I felt sad, and that sour and swollen feeling kept surging up, reaching the tip of my nose and my eye sockets.
But at this moment, she had no room to retreat.
In the mailbox, the email sent by Yu An was indeed there. However, the time and address in the content were written in a professional code, and it would definitely not be decrypted in a short time. She quickly took out her mobile phone to take a picture, and then marked the mailbox as "unread" again, and closed the computer again.
After finishing this series of things, her heart felt heavy, as if all her strength had been drained away. She slumped weakly in the soft chair, turned her back, and looked out the window with a difficult gaze.
——
In the bathroom, the sound of water was still splashing.
However, there was no one under the shower head.
The door of the study was quietly opened a tiny crack from the outside. Even that tiny crack was enough to see all her actions clearly.
Night Owl stood frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the figure beside the bed. His eyes, which were so dark without a trace of light, gradually turned red.
The hands hanging at the sides were tense, so tight that the joints turned white.
I don’t know how long it took…
Ye Xiao returned to the bedroom. When he had finished tidying up everything, the hall was already filled with fragrance. The chicken soup must be ready.
"Why did you take so long to wash?" She came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and smiled at him nonchalantly.
What a woman who is good at acting.
She once cried and said that she would never lie to him again in her life...
But in fact, when has she ever told the truth
"Night Owl?" Bai Suye didn't hear any answer and called him again.
He came back to his senses, his expression was already very cold, but he just imitated her, wiping his hair with a towel as if nothing had happened, and asked as if nothing had happened: "What did Yu An say just now?"
"He just said one sentence, and before I could hear it clearly he hung up."
Ye Xiao nodded, without even looking at her, he just threw away the towel and took the phone over. He pressed the familiar number, and soon, Yu An answered.
"gentlemen."
"Um."
"That mailbox was indeed tampered with."
"…" Night Owl was silent, the phone in his hand was almost broken by him. After a long while, he said, "I know. Let's stick to the original plan."
Yu An was silent for a moment, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Ye Xiao hung up the phone, leaned back on the sofa, and raised his hand to press his aching forehead.
"Are you... okay?" Bai Suye asked worriedly when she saw him like this.
"It's okay, I just have a headache."
"Let me help you press it."
Night Owl nodded without saying anything more.
Bai Suye went around to the back of his sofa. He lay on his back on the sofa, and she massaged him, her movements gentle and appropriate. When she lowered her head, her long hair fell all over his face. The tail of her hair brushed the tip of his nose, and he grabbed a strand and held it under his nose to sniff it gently.
That smell was so good, so good that it made him feel a sharp pain in his heart.
"Yexiao, are you worried about something?" Bai Suye paused in her massage and looked at him with deep eyes.
Hearing her words, Ye Xiao opened his eyes and looked at her deeply. Her face, reflected in his eyes, was so familiar, yet so strange...
How can it not be unfamiliar
Always... Always wearing a mask in front of him...
Even though, he, Ye Xiao, was willing to pour out his heart and lungs time and time again...
Night Owl felt as if his heart was about to burst. He patted his legs and said, "Come here, let me hug you."
That tone...
That look...
Bai Suye's heart ached and she almost cried. She didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't dare to ask. She walked back from behind the sofa, turned sideways, and sat on the man's lap. Ye Xiao stretched out his long arms and held her waist.
Two people…
In this room, they just hugged each other quietly. There were many things they wanted to ask and say, but they couldn't say a word to each other.
There are too many gaps between them, and they are too far apart...
It seemed to be within reach, but in fact... All the warmth and sweetness I experienced in the past month were just a mirage...
Fake.
And now…
Finally waking up.
finally…
Finally, all the masks are about to be torn off...
finally…
It's about to end...
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao took a deep breath, held her chin, leaned over and kissed her lips hard. Bai Suye's eyes became sore and tears fell all at once. She almost instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his kiss crazily.
The two of them kissed each other so hard, as if they wanted to embed each other into each other's lives.
But…
I know it's impossible...
It's no longer possible...
… … …
Night Owl took her fiercely in the room, this time, like crazy. It was a release, a punishment, or... a self-punishment...
In short, no one had an easier time than anyone else in this love affair.
