Bai Suye finished her last class of the day at about 3:00 p.m. She was carrying her paint box and preparing to go back to her residential area, but before she even walked out of the school gate, Qingying nudged her twice.
"Hey! Look, look! Night Owl!"
Bai Suye looked up and saw Ye Xiao's bulletproof car parked at the school gate. He stood there with his hands in his windbreaker pockets, his posture upright, his whole body exuding a fierce spirit.
Although the cold face clearly says "Keep away from strangers", it is still eye-catching enough.
Just watching from afar, the smile in her eyes deepened.
"I'll go first." Bai Suye and Qingying waved, "See you tomorrow."
No matter how the other party complained, she quickly walked towards Night Owl.
Night Owl saw her from afar, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.
Bai Suye walked up to him, stopped, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Take you for a checkup."
"Where are you going?"
"Yesterday, godfather told me to let Kevin give you a full body check-up. Did you forget?" Night Owl said as he picked up her paint box and put it in the trunk.
"The paint is a bit dirty, don't let it get on your car." She reminded him, sitting in the passenger seat, and turned around to talk to him who was still in the back of the car, "Mr. Fei, you just said that casually, right? Didn't Dr. Kevin say that he wouldn't just see anyone casually?"
Night Owl came back from the back, got in the car, and while buckling his seat belt, he replied: "Godfather called Kevin early this morning to inform him, so he was serious."
When he said the last sentence, Ye Xiao turned his head slightly to look at her, his eyes deepened, "My godfather seems to like you very much now."
"Really?" Bai Suye smiled. In fact, she felt the same way.
However, it is not an easy task to change the opinion of the stubborn old man. Not only do you have to work hard and be willing to take whatever you want, but you also have to be neither humble nor overbearing. Otherwise, you will never be accepted by him.
"Susu." Just as she was thinking about it, Night Owl suddenly called her.
"Hmm?" She responded casually while flipping through the art album in her hand.
"I have a business trip tomorrow, and I might be gone for several days."
Bai Suye paused for a moment while flipping through the album, feeling a little reluctant and a little worried. "Can't we just do the surgery and take the bullet out first?"
She couldn't feel at ease when he was on a business trip.
"This business trip happens to be to Country S, so when I'm done, I'll go directly to Tang Song and have the surgery done there."
I see.
Bai Suye didn't even think twice and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Listening to her words, Ye Xiao was in a good mood. Well, he actually had the same intention. However, he said, "Don't you have a lot of classes?"
"It's okay, I'll just take a leave. Anyway, I'm studying just to cultivate my interest."
"What about your gallery?"
"The gallery has been handed over to the store manager. I am only responsible for selecting paintings. I don't go there very often."
Night Owl nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at her again, "You have to be mentally prepared. This time I plan to do everything at once."
At this point, he paused and added, "I want to meet your parents as soon as possible and apologize to them in person."
Bai Suye hesitated for a moment and nodded. This day would come sooner or later.
"I'm afraid you are the one who needs to be mentally prepared." Bai Suye thought that when the time comes, he must ask Ye Qing for help to stop the bad-tempered old man.
———
After Ye Xiao arrived in Country S, he was busy with work for the first two days.
Bai Suye lives in Zhongshan, so the two of them rarely have the chance to see each other, and they only talk on the phone occasionally.
When the old man and the old lady saw her suddenly coming back from You City, they originally thought that Night Owl had done something to her again. The old man was so angry that his face turned blue. After she explained for a long time and seeing that there was indeed nothing wrong with her mood, the two elders calmed down.
On the third night after returning to Country S, she was just about to go upstairs to sleep when the old lady, who was fiddling with her precious potted plants, said, "Susu, sit down. Mom has something to talk to you about."
Seeing that the old lady looked serious, Bai Suye turned back and sat down on the sofa.
The old lady arranged the flowers, put down the watering can, sat down opposite her, and asked only: "What is going on with you now?"
"Huh? What?" The old lady's words were incoherent and Bai Suye didn't quite understand.
"Hmm, what? I was talking about you and Night Owl. You were so determined to be with him before, but now you two are both in the city, but I haven't seen you go out on a date. What? Are you two in a relationship? Is there anyone who is in a relationship like you two?"
Hearing the old lady say this, she actually felt a little disappointed. She had thought that they would definitely go out on a date in Country S, but now, after three days of coming back together, there was no date, not even a single meeting.
He seems very busy.
He was so busy that every time she called him, he was in a meeting. In the next two days, Bai Suye stopped calling him and just waited for him to come to her.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
"Mom, only young people in love need to be together every day. How old are he and I?" Bai Suye didn't dare to reveal her thoughts. Instead, she comforted the old lady, "He came here for work. He's busy with work. He will be fine in a few days."
"Can you abandon your girlfriend just because you're busy with work? If you really follow him, what if he's busy with work all day and ignores you after you get married? I think you'd better stay in the country and don't go to Judea." After she had experienced several life-threatening situations, the old lady is now like a frightened bird, fearing that her daughter would be wronged.
"Mom... Night Owl is not that kind of person."
"He's not that kind of person?" The old lady snorted. "He's been here for so many days, but I haven't seen him come to visit our elders. I think he just doesn't have the heart to do so."
"You are prejudiced against him." Bai Suye felt sorry for Ye Xiao being misunderstood like this, and explained: "He has wanted to come for a long time, but I didn't allow him to come. He will have a major operation soon, and he will definitely come after the operation."
The old lady was originally quite dissatisfied with him. Now, after hearing what she said, her expression softened a lot, and she became concerned again, "What kind of surgery? Is it serious? Is there any danger to life?"
Bai Suye always reminded herself not to worry about his surgery. After all, Tang Song's skills were trustworthy. However, now that she heard the old lady ask this, she still felt uncertain and worried.
Tang Song was not 100% sure about this operation. If there was a slight deviation, it could...
She didn't dare to think any further.
"Su Su?"
The old lady saw that she looked unhappy and patted her, "You look so unhappy, is it a serious operation?"
