Seven Hundred and Twenty-Seven His Dawn (2)
On the sand.
The wind is stronger.
Bai Suye wears Night Owl's coat. Night Owl was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, revealing his strong arms.
She reached out and touched his arm twice. The place where she touched was cold.
"Put your clothes on, it will be bad if you catch a cold again in a place like this." Bai Suye said and took off the Nite Owl's coat. No matter what the reason is, nothing can happen to any of the three of them now.
This time, Ye Xiao didn't put off his clothes anymore and put on his coat directly. Bai Suye breathed a sigh of relief, it was rare for him to be so obedient.
However, the next moment, I felt a tightness in my waist.
Before she could recover, she was already hugged by Ye Xiao and sat sideways on his strong legs.
She looked up in surprise.
"Nite Owl?"
Ye Xiao took her open coat and hugged her slim body into his arms.
The strong wind outside blocked her clothes, and the man's warm and generous chest was pressed against her. Bai Suye only felt waves of warmth flash through her heart. She didn't even struggle at all. Of course...
In this situation, she had no room to struggle.
Instead, let yourself relax and lean against his chest.
"Is it still cold?" His voice was low, and his deep eyes were cast into the distance.
"...It's not cold." She shook her head, and her uninjured arm moved from her clothes to his lower back. Calmly, she hugged him tightly.
Ye Xiao's tall and straight figure was obviously stiff. But, soon, it returned to nature.
His eyes slowly moved back and landed on her face. His big palm gently rubbed her waist twice, and he frowned, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
It was okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, the tip of Bai Suye's nose felt inexplicably sour - she didn't know why she, who had always been strong, wanted to cry so easily in the past two days.
"...Are you thin?" She answered him lowly, burying her face in his chest, "No."
How can you not lose weight? After she returned to China on the day of his engagement,
To this day, she doesn’t know how she got here.
Every day is actually muddled, but every day I have to pretend to be sober and strong in front of outsiders...
Living like that with a mask, she could hardly hold on and would collapse at any time. That's why she volunteered to apply here even though she knew the risks were high. In the face of death, she might be able to be more sober.
only……
How has he been doing during this period of time?
"Ye Xiao." She called his name faintly.
"Um?"
"Let's chat." It's been ten years, a whole decade, and they haven't had a good conversation.
Ye Xiao trembled slightly, then spoke again, his voice was a little deeper, "What do you want to talk about?"
Bai Suye adjusted her sitting position so that her back was against his chest. She pressed the back of her head against his chest and looked at the stars in the sky with distant eyes, "How have you been during the past ten years...?"
Night Owl was silent.
Breathing gradually became heavier.
For a long time, when she thought he would not answer again, he said, "No."
It was an expected answer, but when I heard him say it, my chest still felt tight and painful, which was very uncomfortable.
She fell silent.
"What about you?" Ye Xiao suddenly asked. He cast his eyes in the distance and continued: "After returning to the team, he made great achievements and became a hero of the National Security Bureau. An 18-year-old girl made so many government soldiers spin around with the helpless Night Owl, overnight. Almost taking away half of his main army leaders made you famous internationally in an instant. I think you must have had a good life these years."
A trace of sadness flashed across Bai Suye's eyes.
In fact, quite the opposite. These ten years...she almost didn't survive...
Just as she was about to say something, Ye Xiao withdrew his eyes, looked down at the top of her head, and suddenly asked, "How many boyfriends have you had?"
"...Huh?" This topic jumped so fast that Bai Suye was a little confused.
Night Owl turned her around and narrowed his eyes at her, "Three? Five? Or eight?"
"Eight? That's too many."
"How many are there?" Ye Xiao asked. Finally, his expression became more relaxed, "Is it the one named Yun from last time?"
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Fiancé?" He looked a little colder.
This is what she said herself.
"No."
"What's that?"
"Just an ordinary friend. My family just likes him better."
Her words made Ye Xiao look more relaxed, "So... you have never had a boyfriend?"
"..." Bai Suye fell silent.
Ye Xiao's expression that had just softened suddenly became tense again, his eyes were cold, "How many?"
Under his strong and compelling eyes, Bai Suye slowly stretched out two fingers.
To be honest, she didn't even know whether those were boyfriends or not.
At that time, when she had just returned to China, she was thinking like crazy about a man she shouldn't be thinking about. It was him in her dreams and it was him when she woke up. However, that man was out of reach and could never even be touched again. At that time, she was like a fish thrown in the desert, struggling to her death, just wanting a feasible way to get out of the painful predicament she was in.
The psychiatrist taught her a trick called 'emotional transfer'. As long as she falls in love with a man again and enters a new relationship, she can quickly forget the past relationship that she couldn't love.
She tried to accept the first man who pursued her, but after a week, she gave up. The second relationship also ended in the shortest possible time.
These two relationships that ended in vain - if they can be regarded as relationships, did not allow her to escape from the past, but made her even more desperate to find that the man had taken root in her heart, sprouted, and grown into a man. The vines that touch her bones and blood and surround her heart.
If you forget, I'm afraid it will take you the next life. Even though she refused to admit this terrible fact for a long time.
Ye Xiao snorted coldly, clasped her fingers in his palm, and forced her with dangerous eyes, "It's just as I expected, Minister Bai has lived as enjoyable as I expected in the past ten years."
"Didn't you also have a girlfriend?" Bai Suye tried his best to sound more relaxed, "If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about your fiancée... I have heard about it in country S. Your engagement was announced some time ago. The wedding banquet is grand, and the whole city is celebrating you..."
Speaking of this, Bai Suye suddenly couldn't talk any more.
She glanced at Ye Xiao, and all her efforts to pretend to be relaxed seemed a bit laborious.
Heartbroken.
"I want to sleep, so I'd better not watch the sunrise..." She pretended to be lazy and yawned, but her voice could not be lower.
