The sick beauty became popular after she brought her ex to the show

After Su Ye finished saying this, he shrank back into Xi Yu's arms. But Xi Yu could feel Su Ye's arms groping his back, hugging him gently with a cautious and hesitant mood.

Then Su Ye's hands moved, and his slender five fingers stroked Xi Yu's shoulders.

Just like the news report that Xi Yu saw yesterday, Su Ye and the real little Su Ye at that time did the same actions, patting Xi Yu again and again, as if comforting him.

Xi Yu's breathing became sluggish because of Su Ye's actions.

"It's okay, it's okay"
Su Ye murmured and repeated what Xi Yu had just said to him.

His mind was still confused and his vision was a little blurry due to the excessive excitement just now.

Su Ye lowered his eyes, and seemed to see a black-haired little boy in his arms, with his forehead bandaged like a dumpling, his eyes blank, and he kept saying to him, "It's okay."

He repeated the little boy's words as if he was hypnotizing himself.

Xi Yu sensed Su Ye's emotions and did not say anything.

He seemed to finally understand why Su Ye was so gentle to others.

Su Ye is too good at observing people's expressions and too easy to empathize with other people's suffering.

Perhaps the person in pain in front of him became Su Ye's own image in his eyes. So Su Ye always comforted him in a soft voice, as if he was comforting his past self.

"Shui Shui."

Su Ye's eyes flickered in confusion, and what he saw was a handsome man with slightly curly black hair.

This realization made his brain begin to become confused again, but the man's eyes felt very familiar to him. They were a pair of eyes that made his heart beat fast and at ease.

"Would you like to play a song with me?"

The stage was empty, with no performer appearing. The piano stool was placed aside, as if waiting for the performer to appear at the right moment.

Xi Yu sat next to him and extended his hand to him.

Su Ye hesitated a little, "I don't think I know - I might not be able to play it well."

Su Ye's fingers were also hesitant. When they were about to touch Xi Yu's palm, his white fingertips shrank and hung in the air.

Xi Yu remembered what Su Ye had said in the interview.

[Love is restraint.]
It is the hand that wants to touch but pulls back.

Xi Yu waited patiently, waiting for Su Ye to extend his hand.
Then he will take action to prove his sincerity to Su Ye.

He would hold Su Ye's hand without reservation and never let go.

"It's okay, Shui Shui, you play really well."

Su Ye's eyelashes moved, and his eyes became more and more confused, as if he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him.

Can he play it well? He doesn't know.

He always seems to mess things up.
This thought kept circling in Su Ye's mind, repeatedly reminding him of it.

But Xi Yu just sat there quietly, his hands hanging in the air like Su Ye, waiting, telling him "It's okay."

[But you can’t be so afraid that you won’t even give others a chance.]
After a moment, Su Ye pursed his lips, blinked his dry eyes, and his vision became clear again.

He gently placed his hand in Xi Yu's palm.

Xi Yu slowly tightened his grip, held on, and led Su Ye onto the stage.

The spotlight was bright and dazzling, and countless familiar but vague emotions came over Su Ye.

Xi Yu spoke again, continuing what he had not finished just now.

"When you were 19, you were spotted by a talent scout and invited to join a boy band called Oril."
"You met your teammates An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng in there, and you cherished them very much."

There was a slight noise at the side of the stage, and Su Ye's wrist trembled, but Xi Yu held it firmly.

Su Ye looked towards the direction where the noise came from.

Two people appeared on the side, one of them was a boy with short honey brown hair, who smiled and waved at him.
The other boy had short black hair and was very cool, with no expression on his face. He held the drumsticks and nodded at Su Ye.

Under Xi Yu's guidance, Su Ye sat on the piano stool, and Xi Yu sat beside him again.

Su Ye imitated Xi Yu, placed his fingers on the piano keys, and then turned his head to look at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu looked at him against the light, very gently and carefully.

Su Ye showed a trace of bewilderment on his face, and couldn't help but ask, "And then?"

After saying this, Su Ye found that an emotion called "expectation" seemed to appear in his heart.
He was expecting something, waiting for something, and Xi Yu seemed to be able to give the answer.

What happens in the next scene about the story he has forgotten?

"When you were 20 years old, you finished practice one day and met a boy with a very flamboyant personality. He was the lead singer who was parachuted into your team."

Su Ye opened his eyes slightly, and some emotions were about to burst out.

Xi Yu pressed the keys with his left hand, and the sound was mixed in with the clear piano notes, but Su Ye could hear it very clearly.
"That boy's name is Xi Yu, and he fell in love with you at first sight."

Xi Yu was playing, but part of the voice was missing, so Su Ye had to press the keys to complete it.

At present, Su Ye's knowledge of piano is still at a very elementary stage. But for some reason, when Xi Yu played the notes, his fingers emerged with muscle memory and played along.

"In the winter when you were 20, Xi Yu confessed his love to you and you agreed. He gave you a bunch of lilacs. You watched the biography of Van Gogh together that day. You said you liked it very much and your eyes turned red when you heard the ending song, but you held the flowers firmly and didn't cry."

Su Ye looked at his fingers that were playing spontaneously.
"I don't remember anything."

"It's okay." Xi Yu's shoulder pressed against Su Ye's slightly tense arm, "I'll sing for you."

An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng were sitting not far away, and the quiet accompaniment flowed into Su Ye's ears.

Accompanied by Xi Yu's singing.

"Starry, starry night"
The melody is very quiet, like the gentle and silent night.

Following Xi Yu's voice, Su Ye's mind was like paint spilled on a canvas, with scene after scene extending out.

The sunrise breaks through the darkness and leaps onto the tops of the camphor trees.

A lonely and quiet night in a foreign country.

The bright strings of lights stretching along the seaside street.

The bright pink and cold blue sunset, and a black-haired figure accidentally entered the frame.

Christmas by the lake with gold and green interweaving and heavy snow falling.

"For they could not love you."
[Maybe they never loved you.]
"But still your love was true."
[But you are still full of the most sincere love.]
The melody became familiar little by little, gently entering Su Ye's brain.

At the age of seven, he could not understand English, but Xi Yu's singing was so familiar to him, and the meaning of the lyrics emerged clearly in his mind.

This was the first time Su Ye realized this matter so clearly since he woke up.
It turns out he is already twenty-five.

But for some reason, this fact made Su Ye extremely timid.

"And when no hope was left in sight."
[When hope also disappears with time.]
"On the starry, starry night."
[On such a starry night.]
"You took your life, as lovers often do."
[You end everything like a person in love.]
The melody became more and more familiar, but it made Su Ye more and more anxious and nervous.

His fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, and the black and white keys rose and intertwined like phantoms. Su Ye tried hard to steady himself.

But deep down, he resisted disrupting Xi Yu's singing as if he was resisting himself.

"But I could\'ve told you Vincent."
[But I could have told you.]
"This world was never meant for"
[This broken world is not ready yet]
"One as beautiful as you."
[Meet such a beautiful and unique you.]
The accompaniment gradually faded away, and when the last piano key fell, Su Ye's back slightly bent, and some sweat appeared on his forehead, which was frighteningly dazzling under the light.

He breathed slowly, as if he had just struggled out of a life-and-death escape.
"I'm done playing it, I won't play it anymore."

Xi Yu was quiet for a moment, "Shui Shui, this is your story, do you want to continue listening?"

Su Ye said nothing.

He leaned his hands on the edge of the piano, and now he looked less like a child, and more like an overwhelmed adult.

The beautiful shoulders and neck are too tense, presenting a very defensive posture.

Su Ye neither said "yes" nor "no."

So Xi Yu spoke again, but this time the gentle smile on his face changed a little, and a subtle look of depression began to emerge.

"Just before your twenty-first birthday, you fell ill and signed a contract that took everything from you."

Su Ye's back was bent even more, his head almost dropped on the piano keys, his hair trembled slightly, and his breathing made a slight vibration.

Jiang Congfeng, who was not far away, frowned and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by An Sijia.
An Sijia looked at him and shook her head.

"You left Oril, your teammates, and Xi Yu, and went to a place very far away, a place that would take a full 26 hours of flight to reach."

Su Ye clenched his fists so tightly that veins were bulging, and pressed them against the edge of the piano keys.

"You spent five peaceful years there, but you weren't happy."
"So you came back five years later and appeared on a variety show, and your partner was a very strange little boy."

The little boy's voice sounded like an auditory hallucination.
[I'm tired, I want to go back first.]
Su Ye stared at the shadow under the piano, his lips moving slightly.
".Baby."

Xi Yu's hand wrapped around Su Ye's clenched hand.
"Your fans were mad at first, but that's because they love you so much."

The people scattered in the audience moved, some lowered their heads and wiped their eyes.

"They like me?"
Su Ye said softly.

Countless memories came to mind, but they were completely different from what Xi Yu said.

[Why isn't Su Ye dead yet?]
[Speechless, Hu Ka is back to make money]
[Su Ye, get out of the entertainment industry!]
[Did Su Ye apologize to others today?]
Su Ye couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his forehead hard on the piano keys.

A strong and harsh discordant sound rang out in the concert hall.

Among the countless bad words, there was one sentence that was the clearest and strongest, with undisguised malice, replaying in Su Ye's mind over and over again.

[No matter how noble you pretend to be, you can't change this fact.]
[Want to be a big star? Dream on!]
"Stop lying!"
Su Ye was hugged by Xi Yu, but his hands were still pounding on the piano keys out of control, and the restless notes echoed throughout the concert hall with good sound transmission.

"I know, I know it all!"
Su Ye screamed loudly again, losing her previous gentle and lovely appearance. During the pushing and shoving, she even accidentally scratched Xi Yu, leaving several blood marks on the back of Xi Yu's hand.

But Xi Yu held him tightly and did not let go.

If forgetting all this could bring Su Ye complete peace of mind and ease, Xi Yu really wanted to protect Su Ye like this.

Even if Su Ye forgot everything they had experienced, even if he himself was completely pushed out of Su Ye's life.

The doctor said that he could choose not to let Su Ye remember all this. But memory is an unpredictable thing. The longer it is delayed, once Su Ye recalls it again one day, the past hurt may devour him again a thousand times.

"Shuishui. Shuishui."

In the intense movement, Su Ye shrank into the shadow under the piano. He hugged his knees and gasped for breath, as if he had found a place to rest.

Xi Yu squatted in front of him.

Su Ye was like a wounded trapped beast, avoiding Xi Yu's gaze.
“No one likes me like this.”

Xi Yu shook his head, then suddenly moved aside.

Without Xi Yu's blocking, the lights on the stage made it impossible for Su Ye to open his eyes.

There were footsteps in front of him. Su Ye squinted and saw a pretty girl with long hair walking towards him. She squatted down and carefully handed a candy to Su Ye who was hiding under the piano.

Su Ye knew that he probably looked crazy now, but the girl's cautiousness seemed not because she was afraid of Su Ye, but because she was afraid that she would make Su Ye lose control again.

Su Ye stared at the candy in his hand in a daze.
Glass candy wrapper, wrapped with a blue-purple candy.

"Ye, it's me. We met before. You even danced with me on Hai Street. Don't you remember?"

The girl smiled, which made Su Ye confused.

"I'm the administrator of your fan site. I like you very much. I've liked you for five years!"

The girl left, and another audience member squatted down and put the candy in Su Ye's palm.

She was a very neat woman, wearing glasses and a white coat.

"Brother Xiao Su, I'm your fan. I fell in love with you after watching your doll show. I was so excited when I met you in the hospital. You're so nice, and I like you so much."
The woman pushed her glasses up sheepishly. "If I had known, I would have told you that at the time."

Someone else squatted down, this time it was a very strong man, holding a candy in his hand, looking funny and cute.

"Teacher Su." The eldest brother was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke, "Do you still remember me? I was the cameraman of your group. You treated us to a meal on the show and owed us three thousand yuan! You are such a nice person, what's wrong with you!"

PD Wang stood aside, “Xiao Su, do you know how gentle you are? At that time, the people in the group were about to fight for your logistics position, hahahahahaha!”

Many people came and went one after another, and Su Ye had a pile of candies in his hands that he couldn't even hold them all.

"Ye Ye, you are awesome! I love you the most!"
"Ahhhh, I love you so much, my Ye. I can finally see you!" Among them, many blurry but familiar faces of Su Ye flashed by.

Naughty Louie, "Brother Su Ye, I'll give you my snacks. Please get better soon!"

Ding Tiantian said calmly, "Brother, you have to keep warm, wear more clothes, and get more ventilation."

Lively Xiao Feng, "Pretty brother! Brother Shu Ling said the show would be boring if you don't go, when will you come back?"

The emotions on Su Ye's face gradually changed from anxiety to nervousness, nervousness to confusion, and finally to a blank look. There were so many things piled around him, and he looked like he was hit on the head by Santa Claus' bag.

The words they spoke were different, but in the end they all expressed the same meaning to Su Ye without reservation.
Show their love.

The audience all left, leaving enough space for Su Ye.

Xi Yu stayed by his side all the time.
"Shuishui, look, everyone likes you very much."

Su Ye's voice was vague and confused, and he shrank back, "I don't remember, I——"

His wrist was gently grabbed by Xi Yu.

Xi Yu sat next to him, leaning on the piano legs with him, and made soft sounds.
"Shuishui, do you remember what I said to you?"

Su Ye didn't say anything.
What did you say?
Su Ye lowered her eyes, her slender eyes hidden under her cloud-like eyelashes, avoiding Xi Yu's gaze.

Su Ye felt that he couldn't look at it any longer. If he looked at it any longer, all the things hidden in his heart, stored deep in his emotions, and locked in the deepest part of his mind would turn into butterflies and break through the thin cocoon and fly out.

Then died under the scorching sun.

Xi Yu tilted his head quietly, with his neck resting against the legs of the piano. He looked very soft and gentle, even a little fragile.
He would never have such an expression on his face before, and he would never have such a weak spot in his face later.

Xi Yu raised his head and looked at Su Ye who had his eyes lowered, and his heart felt like it was being scratched.

It didn't hurt, but it made it hard for him to breathe.
It was as if he empathized with Su Ye’s injury.

"Shuishui, I really like you."

Whether it was the first sight in the sunlight, or when he handed Su Ye the mineral water, or under the confusing and hazy lights that night, his heart kept beating, and there was never any surprise.

He concealed his beating heart, and in the heated atmosphere, he used the colorful laser light to pull out the threads in his heart bit by bit, and handed it to Su Ye with a seemingly willful and nonchalant smile, hoping that Su Ye would reach out and take it.

Catch his heart.

Su Ye caught it, but Xi Yu was so caught up in the frenzy of joy at that time that he never realized how fragile and cautious Su Ye's hands were. With a sense of flattery hidden deep under his tenderness, he frantically tried to put them into his chest.

"I really like you."
Xi Yu seemed to have pulled open a gate and repeated this sentence over and over again.

The doctor said that Su Ye had abandoned everything, gone to a faraway place, locked himself up, and might never come back.

They finally achieved an incredibly similar match at this moment.
Just as fragile, just as cautious.

It was the first time that Su Ye saw such an expression on Xi Yu's face.

"I really like you."
"So don't leave, okay?"
"Shuishui, don't leave."

In Su Ye's memory, Xi Yu had never been so persistent in whispering a few words over and over again, as if he was talking in a dream.

The moment these words reached Su Ye's ears, Su Ye's eyes widened uncontrollably.

It seemed like the first time he held his breath like this, trying to keep his eyes open, looking directly at his sun through the blinding light.
The sun that once belonged to him.

In the sun that should have been scorching hot, Su Ye saw a trace of water that shouldn't have appeared.

A faint light flashed against Xi Yu's slightly red eyes.

Those tears slid down Xi Yu's face drop by drop and fell to the ground, making Xi Yu look embarrassed and weak.

I don’t want Su Ye to forget all this.
Don't want Su Ye to forget him.

The candy fell to the ground, stained with tears, looking sparkling, and reflected in Su Ye's eyes.

Su Ye finally made some movement.
He approached Xi Yu and pulled Xi Yu's hand.

Xi Yu finally saw a gentle and sad expression on Su Ye's face. It was an expression that belonged only to the 25-year-old Su Ye, and it was an expression that he would only show when facing Xi Yu.

"Xi Yu."

The 25-year-old Su Ye opened his mouth, but his words came out as a hesitant and cautious plea only a seven-year-old child could make.
"Can you give me one of your candies?"

Xi Yu moved his hands, reached into his coat pocket, took out a handful of candies, and put them into Su Ye's hands, arms, and pockets.

"Here you go, all my candies are yours."
Xi Yu bent down with trembling shoulders and carefully held Su Ye in his arms.

He didn't know whether Su Ye had remembered it, but he had a lot to say, and he said it to Su Ye one by one.

"I want to give you lots and lots of love."
"I want to give you everything I have."

"Shui Shui, you are really a good person, you deserve their love."

At first, Su Ye leaned quietly with his head buried in Xi Yu's arms, but as Xi Yu spoke, Xi Yu felt the person in his arms tremble.
But it wasn't because of the tremors caused by the illness.

Because Xi Yu finally heard a hint of Su Ye's suppressed crying.

Su Ye tried to hold back at first, biting the collar of Xi Yu's coat tightly, but the tangled emotions in his heart became more and more numerous, and with Xi Yu's voice, they became uncontrollable.

“I didn’t do those things”

The crying could no longer be suppressed and suddenly broke out.

Su Ye finally raised his face and burst into tears. The sobs of collapse rushed out of his throat and he cried until he was hoarse, as if he wanted to spit out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

Tears were mottled and endless, covering Su Ye's beautiful, but now a mess, face.

Xi Yu hugged him tightly, listening to Su Ye's voice which had already reached the point of crying.

"I didn't abandon you guys. I didn't quit the group maliciously because of the penalty."

Su Ye cried like a child, his cry was sharp and loud, his pretty face turned red because of crying, his neck was raised high, and he needed Xi Yu to hold his back to prevent himself from falling over.

"I regretted it, I regretted it as soon as I signed the contract."
"I wanted to come back to see you, but they wouldn't let me, not even to take a sneak peek at you."

"I've never met him and I have no idea who he is."
"I'm not an ungrateful person. I don't despise them or avoid them like he said."
"It's obvious that they have never cared about me, why are they bringing it up now? Why are they talking about me like this?"

Su Ye seemed to want to cry out all the moisture in his body. His tears wet his hair and collar, and then flowed into Xi Yu's palm as he supported the back of his neck, feeling extremely hot.

He seemed to have really become the "Shui Shui" that Xi Yu mentioned.

"Why me? Why me?"
"I also want to be on the stage, to be with you, and to hear the fans shouting my name."
"I don't want to be scolded, please stop scolding me."

By the end of his crying, Su Ye's voice, which had finally recovered a little, became hoarse again, but Xi Yu did not stop him. Instead, he let Su Ye break down and cry, and quietly kept in mind everything Su Ye said.

"I am so tired."
"What on earth did I do wrong?"
"Xi Yu, I'm so tired. I'm really tired."

Su Ye cried until he couldn't breathe. Xi Yu helped him take several puffs of the aerosol and then slowly spoke to Su Ye.

"Shuishui, you didn't do anything wrong."
"I'll be with you. Tell me any grievances you have."
"You don't have to laugh. Just cry if you want to."

Xi Yu buried his head in Su Ye's neck, feeling Su Ye's breathing and his pulse as he cried.
"I will always stand by you."

The ward was extremely quiet. After the doctor finished monitoring Su Ye, he left and turned around to meet a group of people's anxious gazes.
"Nothing abnormal, but he cried too hard and became a little hypoxic. His asthma relapsed, and his throat may need to be healed for a few more days."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Su Lan sat down at once.

The doctor pushed up his glasses and said, "Let him calm down for a while before meeting the guest."

An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, thank you doctor."

In the ward, Su Ye half leaned on the bed, looking at Xi Yu who was peeling an apple for him.

Xi Yu was very deft with his hands. Su Ye once secretly wondered how a kid from a rich family could be so good at doing housework.

The apples were cut into rabbit shapes that Su Ye had only seen in cartoons, and placed one by one on the plate.

His consciousness was still a little confused, but he had remembered the past. However, it was still intertwined with his childhood memories, causing him to be dazed for a few moments and unable to tell whether his name was Gu Zhi or Su Ye.

"Shuishui, open your mouth."

Su Ye subconsciously opened his mouth obediently, and Xi Yu fed the apple into Su Ye's mouth. Then, before Su Ye could eat it, he leaned over and took a bite from Su Ye's mouth.

The rabbit's ear was bitten off, leaving only half of it.

Su Ye curved his eyes, smiled and ate it, saying habitually: "You are so childish."

Xi Yu snorted and laughed, said nothing, and gestured with the knife to cut off another piece.

Su Ye was silent for a while.
"Did I scare you?"

Xi Yu paused, thought about it, and nodded sincerely, "Yes, a little bit."

Su Ye immediately frowned sadly.
Then he heard Xi Yu speak.

"I didn't expect that even though you were not conscious, you would take the initiative to hug me and kiss and nibble on me."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, then her face slowly turned red, "Don't say anything more."

The feeling of their tongues entwining and biting each other was still lingering in Su Ye's mind, making him extremely embarrassed.

What was he thinking at that time?
How could I hug Xi Yu and kiss him on the Ferris wheel?

"But thanks to this, I know." Xi Yu laughed unscrupulously, "It turns out that Shui Shui likes me so much."

Su Ye said nothing and turned his head to look at the snow outside the window.

When Xi Yu was studying the fruit carving again, he heard Su Ye speak.

Su Ye twisted his fingers, like a little child who had just woken up.
"Yeah, I like you a lot."

Xi Yu came over and sat on the bed, "Who do you like?"

Su Ye lowered his eyes and stared at the quilt, then smiled quietly with his eyes curved. Then he pushed the hair away from his right ear, turned his head and quickly pecked Xi Yu's mouth.

When the two people's lips touched, a very subtle "pop" sound was heard.

"I like Xi Yu."

Xi Yu just tilted his head to look at Su Ye's eyes that turned away.
“Who likes it?”

Su Ye turned his head and kissed Xi Yu gently again, "Me."

Xi Yu smiled with eyes sparkling, "Who are you?"

Su Ye leaned on Xi Yu's shoulder with a gentle smile.
"I'm Su Ye."

Xi Yu sat with Su Ye for a long time. The two did not do anything meaningful. Most of the time, Su Ye was in a daze. Xi Yu stared at Su Ye, and then was discovered by Su Ye. Su Ye then pinched Xi Yu's fingers with a blushing face.

Although Su Ye has recovered a little now, Xi Yu still feels uncomfortable.

What Xiao Su Ye said in the news, "I have no home anymore", has always lingered in Xi Yu's mind.

"Shuishui, we'll go home when you get better."

"Yeah." Su Ye nodded gently and was quiet for a moment, "I remembered something before."

Xi Yu took over his words, "Is it about Lin He?"

Su Ye told Xi Yu everything he remembered bit by bit. Xi Yu listened very carefully, his brows furrowed.
"Sure enough, it's Lin He."

Su Ye lowered his eyes slightly, "I always thought my mother would not kill anyone. She is really strong, but also really soft-hearted. She can't do it."

Xi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Shui Shui, where was your home before? I want to check nearby, I should be able to find something."

Su Ye frowned and smiled for a while, then looked at Xi Yu quietly with gentle eyes.
"It's an old neighborhood. It was demolished a long time ago and has been rebuilt now."

Xi Yu was a little surprised, "How do you know so clearly?"

He thought Su Ye would be very disgusted with this place, but from Su Ye's tone, he was not disgusted at all. On the contrary, he was very familiar with this place.

Su Ye slowly blinked at Xi Yu.

Memories come flooding back.
Bright and clean streets, rattan chairs on the balcony, and dark blue hairbands tying the curtains.

Su Ye recalled that familiar place, which overlapped two extremely profound memories in his life.

"The area was later planned to be a new residential area with five-story houses and many camphor trees."
