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

".The plane is taxiing. For the safety of you and others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack."

In a daze, Su Ye moved slightly, and his head, which was constantly tilting due to sleepiness, rested on the shoulder of the person next to him.

The side of his face felt warm. Someone reached out and carefully brushed away the strands of hair that were blocking his eyes with their fingers, and gently tucked them behind his ears.

Feeling the familiar body temperature, Su Ye smiled softly in his sleep. His profile was reflected in the light of the porthole, and above him were Xi Yu's pair of peach blossom eyes staring at the side of Su Ye's face.

Su Ye had a dream, which was as chaotic as ever. Time appeared disorderly in the dream, but this dream made people feel extremely at ease.

In the old house, the sounds of sirens and ambulances were intertwined. Seven-year-old Su Ye was at a loss as he was held by someone, moving away from the old environment step by step.

He didn't know who was hugging him, but the body temperature was too warm. Su Ye also stretched out his hands, put his arms around the other's neck, and buried his bandaged head in the crook of the man's neck.

He heard voices, hoarse but pleasant.
But the sound was vague and unclear. Su Ye curled up in this embrace, pricked up his ears, and tried to distinguish the words and sentences with a child's unique curiosity.

[Brother, I like you.]
[I am your future lover.]
Su Ye raised his head and saw the smooth lines of his jaw and the slightly curly black hair hanging on the side of his face, floating in the breeze.

He tilted his face, and Roulan opened her eyes wide, not quite understanding what this meant.
"What did you say?"

But strangely enough, after Su Ye asked this question, an extremely familiar feeling called déjà vu immediately emerged throughout his body.

All of this seemed to be a replay of the past. Deep down in Su Ye's heart, he seemed to have already known what the other party would say.

It should also be accompanied by the sound of wine glasses clinking, enthusiastic cheers, and intoxicating and hazy neon lights.

Su Ye thought silently, her heartbeat quickened, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation that could not be suppressed.
That person will say, [I like you, can you date me?]
He will definitely say that. Su Ye hugged the man's neck firmly, and then he got what he wanted and heard the voice again.
"Shui Shui, I'll take you to see the sun."

Su Ye's eyes widened.
How did that happen.

"No, you shouldn't say that, you should-"
Su Ye was a little incoherent and stretched out his hand, which was small and pale, with a little fleshiness that only a child could have.

The person holding him stopped and spoke patiently, "What should I say?"

Su Ye was confused and puzzled, his consciousness and mind seemed to remain at the age of seven. He could not tell the other person's tone, but he was very persistent and serious in correcting him.

"You shouldn't have said that. What you said was—"
Su Ye stopped speaking halfway.

At that time?
He lowered his head, forgetting to look at his pale hands which had a little flesh on them, then raised his hand and touched his forehead, feeling a circle of clean and thick gauze.

It was because of this circle of gauze that Su Ye was sure that he was now seven years old.

But why did my seven-year-old self see things so far away?
At that time? When was that time?
The voice was gentle and patient, "At that time?"

Su Ye was even more confused. He couldn't make sense of his thoughts, so he simply buried his head in the other's arms as if to escape, like a curled up baby bird, and refused to speak a word.

At that time, it was clearly said.
The man was still holding him, but his fingers kept lingering on Su Ye's ears, constantly brushing away the long hair that kept falling down.
"Shuishui, don't hide. Think carefully about who you saw and what you heard at that time."

Su Ye rubbed the man's collar and shook his head, "I can't remember."

The man was not in a hurry. He held him tightly. His low voice fell into Su Ye's ears, carrying a kind of bewitching feeling that made Su Ye feel at ease. It was very strange.
"Shui Shui, you really can't remember?"

Su Ye frowned and shook his head as if giving up.
"I don't understand. I'm only seven years old. How can I know about the future?"

A light laugh sounded, loud and unrestrained. He didn't urge her anymore, nor did he make any more sounds. His fingertips were still playing with Su Ye's hair.

The silent man made Su Ye feel uneasy, but it was not a nervous uneasiness, but a faint, melancholy emotion. Su Ye couldn't tell why, it seemed that he really liked listening to the other person talk.

He couldn't help wanting to hear the other person's voice.

So he quietly raised his eyes, saw the man's fingertips, and was slightly stunned.
Wrapped around the man's slender fingers was a strand of light-colored long hair.

A subtle touch came from his scalp, making Su Ye's lower back itch slightly.

Su Ye looked at it for a long time and finally realized that it was his own hair.

But the man still didn't say anything. Su Ye felt anxious but was too embarrassed to speak.

Su Ye had been planning this for a long time.

He wanted to hear the man speak to him so much that he opened his mouth very softly and subconsciously uttered a word of hope.
"You don't like me anymore?"

The man sighed, "Brother, you finally remembered."

The slightly cool air kept rushing into his lungs. Su Ye was stunned for a while, and finally remembered the memories of his twenties.

The boy with slightly curly black hair stood in front of him, said something to him with a smile that made his heart beat faster.

[I said, Su Ye, I like you, can you date me?]
After remembering this, Su Ye felt ashamed and embarrassed and fell silent.

After a while, Su Ye hesitated and said, "But at that time, you clearly said..."

"Now is not the time." The man lowered his head, and felt a warm touch on Su Ye's forehead, "Su Ye, I don't like you anymore."

Su Ye's expression froze, her beautiful eyes turned slightly red, and then were constantly covered with mist, tears were about to fall.

Then the man spoke again.
"Su Ye, I love you."

The plane encountered an air current and the entire cabin shook. Su Ye's head fell forward dangerously, and Xi Yu reached out to hold him and gently leaned him against his shoulder.

Xi Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye was wrapped in a blanket, still mumbling something like "so childish" and "I love you too". His eyes had opened slightly, as if he had been shaken awake.

Su Ye, who had just woken up, was not quite conscious. He stared blankly with his eyes slightly squinted, wrapped in an airplane blanket, and stared into the air for a long time.

Xi Yu was about to speak when he heard Su Ye's vague words.
"Xi Yu, which show is our Haishi performance?"

Xi Yu paused, remembering what the doctor had said when Su Ye had a mental breakdown.
The doctor said that Su Ye's brain was affected by old injuries, and coupled with severe PTSD, he was very likely to experience symptoms such as visual and auditory hallucinations from time to time, and would also become confused about time when he was tired.

When hearing those words, Xi Yu couldn't help but think of some small details.

Su Ye always liked to call him. Sometimes they were just leaning against each other quietly, or talking to each other, and Su Ye would suddenly call out "Xi Yu?" in the middle of the conversation.

Before joining Ji Ru's crew, when Xi Yu called Su Ye late at night, Su Ye suddenly called out "Xi Yu" in the silence. After getting Xi Yu's response, he laughed softly on the other end of the phone.

It was the same when they were staying in the same hotel as the crew. Su Ye looked at him in the night wind. He was standing in front of Su Ye, but Su Ye would still call his name softly.
As if to make sure that Xi Yu was here, right beside him.

Xi Yu asked Su Lan, and Su Lan said that she had never noticed these things. At most, she would occasionally feel that Su Ye was in a daze too often and his forgetfulness was too serious.

Xi Yu looked at Su Ye who was muttering to himself beside him, and thought quietly.

When you were in a daze, what did you hear in the void?
Do you often talk to yourself like this when you are alone abroad?
Su Ye's voice gave him the answer.
The Haishi performance was Su Ye’s last performance at Oril shortly before he left the group five years ago.

He confused time again and thought he was still five years ago.

Su Ye was wrapped in the airplane blanket. He casually rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and spoke softly again, his voice somewhat confused, "Xi Yu?"

"Shuishui, I'm here."

Su Ye closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, repeating the action to dispel the remaining sleepiness, and then turned his confused brain to look towards the source of the sound.

Xi Yu sat next to him, one hand around his waist, looking at him from the side and smiling, "Are you sleepy?"

"Hmm? Hmm." Su Ye yawned softly, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his eyes again.
"I had a very confusing dream. When I woke up, I thought we were on our way to a performance."

Su Ye's smile was confused but gentle, which made Xi Yu feel warm in his heart.
"What did you dream about?"

Su Ye brushed his hair with one hand, "Yeah, it's just a bunch of mess, I won't tell you."

Xi Yu grabbed his hand and said, "If you don't tell me, Shui Shui must have dreamed about me."

Su Ye blushed and tried to get away with it by saying, "No, narcissistic kid."

"Oh——" Xi Yu's voice was drawn out, "Then I am emotional. Just now my brother kept mumbling whether he liked it or not. Which stinky man was he talking to in his dream?"

Su Ye turned his head suddenly, "What are you mumbling about?"

Xi Yu held back his laughter, hugged Su Ye, and replayed the scene hand in hand.

"When you fell asleep, your head nodded, and then..." Xi Yu pulled Su Ye to his side, "You leaned on my shoulder and then you became more obedient."
"Then you started talking in your sleep. Your voice was very low, but I could hear it clearly."

Su Ye blinked her eyes, and let Xi Yu pinch and rub her in a daze.

"After you leaned against me, you kept rubbing against my arms, shrinking your whole body inwards, messing up your hair, and kept correcting me, saying that I should have said 'I like you' to you."

Su Ye was completely in disbelief.
He dreamed about Xi Yu, but - Xi Yu shouldn't know!

Xi Yu took advantage of Su Ye's daze and added some details before he became so amused that he refused to speak.
"I didn't say anything, but you kept rubbing against me, almost letting me hold you in my arms, and asked me over and over again if I didn't like you anymore."

Su Ye was speechless and stammered, "No, I——"

Xi Yu lowered his head and touched Su Ye’s hot cheek with his forehead.
"How could I not like Shui Shui? I love Shui the most."

When Su Ye was asleep, Xi Yu patiently whispered to him over and over again, "I love you."

When the plane landed and Su Ye and Xi Yu walked out of Hai City Airport, it was not even dawn outside.

The temperature in Hai City is much warmer than that in Nan City. There is no snow in the sky and the air is slightly cool, but not cold.

Su Ye carefully took out a woolen hat and put it on. On it was a ball of wool that looked very familiar to Xi Yu, and it swayed with Su Ye's movements.

"Xiao Yang will definitely be worried again."

After watching the midnight movie, Xi Yu said he wanted to watch the sunrise. Su Ye thought he was going to find a place in Nanshi, but unexpectedly, Xi Yu directly booked the next flight to Haishi, without even packing his luggage, and took Su Ye away.

Su Ye heard that Xiao Yang's voice on the phone was completely numb, and he even told Xi Yu and Su Ye to pay attention to the temperature difference.

Xi Yu was itching to reach out and touch the ball of wool on Su Ye's head.

When he saw Su Ye at the airport that day after five years, he had the urge to pull out this ball of wool.
But now Su Ye was standing in front of him, and he was only worried about whether the hat was warm enough.

Su Ye likes to wear clothes with wide collars. Even when wearing a coat, part of her neck is still exposed, which is white and extremely dazzling.

"Shuishui, why don't you wear a scarf?"

Su Ye stamped his feet slightly, not because of the cold, but because of the excitement of the scenery he was about to see.

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Su Ye said, "Hmm?" and "The scarf was given away."

Xi Yu immediately stopped talking. He reached out halfway to touch Su Ye's neck and tease him, but then he withdrew his hand, almost biting his own tongue.

Su Ye turned his head and looked at Xi Yu's clothes naturally. The ball of wool on his head jumped twice.
"Why aren't you wearing it?"

Xi Yu boasted that he was definitely the smartest one among smart people and stupid people, and Su Ye had certified him as a thoughtful person many times. But after hearing Su Ye's words, he was still a little confused about what Su Ye meant.

Not wearing it? What are you not wearing?
Are you simply worried that he will be cold, so you ask him why he doesn't wear a scarf, or are you asking something else?
Xi Yu's heart was in turmoil, but his expression was calm. He even smiled at Su Ye and said, "It's okay. I'm not cold."

Su Ye put his hands in front of his face, blew a breath of hot air gently, nodded, and did not continue the topic.

Xi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The two arrived at the resort hotel that Xi Yu had booked on the plane. It was located halfway up a mountain, facing the sea, with an observation tower nearby, and the scenery was very beautiful.

Su Ye stood on the open balcony, leaning his elbows on the glass partition, looking into the distance.

The night had finally faded a little, and although the sky had not yet become noticeably brighter, the dark blue color had begun to fade gradually, blurring into a calm, beautiful purple.

“It looks like blueberry candy.”
Su Ye pointed to the sky.

Xi Yu also looked at the sky. The colors were indeed beautiful, the cold blue gradually turning into deep purple, but he couldn't quite tell how it looked like sugar.

Su Ye discussed it with him seriously, "It's that color. It looks like blueberry-flavored hard candy, don't you think?"

A little moonlight lingered, and Su Ye's fingers seemed to fiddle with the soft light like gauze, "This looks like glass candy wrapper wrapped around blueberry candy." Xi Yu listened to Su Ye's words, and after a while he also tasted some of the flavor, so he nodded.
"Yes, it is. It is very beautiful."

Su Ye happily said a lot of irrelevant things, but Xi Yu's thoughts were also divergent. The two of them coincided perfectly, the topic jumped around, and they always kept up with each other's pace. It was not boring at all.

"I know why you didn't look like candy at first." Su Ye suddenly realized, "Because you gave me all your candy."

This sentence reminded Xi Yu of Su Ye who was curled up under the piano and crying. He put his arms around Su Ye's narrow and tight waist and leaned his head against Su Ye's head. "Well, my sugar has all gone to Shui Shui."

Su Ye smiled happily. The two of them snuggled together, holding each other's hands quietly, enjoying the last ray of night before dawn.

After a while, Su Ye suddenly asked, "But there was such a big bag of candy, didn't you eat any of it?"

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, not realizing what Su Ye meant.

But Su Ye did not ask any more questions. He just leaned on the glass railing of the balcony with his hands, rubbed his shoulder against Xi Yu's, and began to hum an unknown song. He looked very relaxed.

A ticking sound came from the room, which reminded Su Ye of when he first returned to China and moved into Su Lan's house, there was also this ticking sound.

Su Ye knew very well where this sound came from, so he never paid much attention to it.

Tick ​​tock.
Tick.

The sun should be coming out soon. Su Ye whispered, "Is it almost time? I saw in the tourist brochure that the sunrise here usually comes out after four o'clock. Let me check the clock. Now--"

Su Ye subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice in his mind.

The walls inside the room are simple and exquisite, with only a mural hanging on them.
There is no clock.

"——It should be here soon."
Su Ye's voice gradually became smaller and then slowly disappeared.

The five fingers were pushed apart by the fingers of another person, inserted into them, and clasped together.
"Well, it should be almost time."

Su Ye came back to his senses, opened his mouth and explained to Xi Yu, "I thought there would be a clock hanging here."

Xi Yu's voice was very patient, looking at Su Ye under the purple-blue sky, "Why?"

Su Ye was in a trance and spoke into the breeze.
"I heard the sound of the second hand moving."

After Su Ye finished speaking, he quickly turned his head and smiled, "Yeah, I heard it wrong."

Xi Yu next to him didn't say anything.

Su Ye was very nervous. He didn't want Xi Yu to know that his condition was strange. It was not because he was afraid that Xi Yu would find it weird, but because he didn't want Xi Yu to worry about him again.
"It's okay, I-"

"Shuishui, do you often mishear?"
But Xi Yu opened his mouth and asked Su Ye softly.

Su Ye swallowed the excuse he had prepared in his mouth.

He looked into Xi Yu's eyes.

Xi Yu's expression was very familiar to Su Ye. Not long ago, by the lake in Geneva, Xi Yu looked at him in the same way and asked him slowly, "How are you doing?"

It was a serious look, without any unnecessary emotions, just a pure desire to know everything about Su Ye.

Su Ye closed his slightly open mouth, nodded after a while, and his voice was very soft.
“Yeah, I often mishear.”

The wind got a little stronger, but Xi Yu had already brushed Su Ye's hair that was messed up by the wind before Su Ye reached out his hand.

Su Ye looked at Xi Yu's face, and suddenly let out a very light breath, his heart no longer worried.
"There was a clock in the house we used to live in. Do you remember it?"

"Yeah, I remember."

The pure white square clock with light gold hands was chosen by Su Ye himself.

The movement of a designer clock is always inferior. After so many years, the clock should have reached the end of its service life, but Xi Yu has been debugging it regularly, so it still works well.

"I like that clock very much. The sound when the second hand moves is very special, ticking, like the sound of water."
Su Ye seemed to be recalling the past, and he laughed, looking very excited.

But soon, his smile faded and became a little sad.

Xi Yu heard him speak very softly.

"I really like it. I can't forget it even after I leave. As long as I am quiet, I can hear that sound."

Xi Yu couldn't help but asked, "Shui Shui, did you know early on that you would have auditory hallucinations?"

Su Ye shook his head, then nodded after a while.
"I didn't notice it at first, maybe because I was already used to being with you and couldn't tear myself away for a while."

Until one day, when Su Ye went to the sanatorium to visit Su Yun as usual, he passed by the famous flower clock by Lake Geneva, and suddenly thought of the beautiful wall clock hanging under the sparse shadows of the camphor trees thousands of miles away.

"That day it suddenly dawned on me that the ticking sound I had been hearing was just an auditory hallucination."

That day was a very painful day for Su Ye.
The person who had been immersed in a beautiful dream was suddenly awakened, opened his eyes, and saw everything around him clearly.

"On that day I realized that I was no longer in the country and you were no longer with me."

Su Ye frowned slightly, with confusion and struggle revealed on his face. Xi Yu seemed to see through his present self and see Su Ye who was distraught beside the flower clock at that time.
"That means I can't possibly hear that voice again. It's fake."

The words "impossible" and "again" put together made Su Ye almost breathless at that time.

Su Ye smiled sadly, "After thinking this through, I suddenly had an asthma attack. Many people came to me and asked me if I was okay and what happened."

He really wanted to say that he was in trouble. He really wanted to grab anyone who was close to him and break down and pour out his sadness.

"Something happened. Something very, very bad happened."

The mole at the end of Su Ye's eyebrow seemed to dim as well.

"I thought I could handle everything, but it wasn't until that day that I realized that losing you had already overwhelmed me."

It was a very strange experience. He maintained his life in apparent peace for a while, and then he found that there was a huge hole in his heart and it was crumbling.

Xi Yu's heart tightened when he heard this. He squeezed Su Ye's fingers and said, "Shui Shui, didn't you go to see a doctor?"

Su Ye still has symptoms of auditory hallucinations, and he had a mental breakdown due to PTSD before. He either did not see a doctor, or his condition did not improve after seeing a doctor.

Su Ye shook his head, "No, I didn't go."

Xi Yu lost all his strength, leaned over, and rested his head on Su Ye's shoulder and neck, "Why not go?"

Su Ye suddenly smiled, a little cunningly. It was obviously a very serious matter, but it sounded like he had picked up money.
"Just like you."

Xi Yu was slightly startled, "What?"

Su Ye rubbed Xi Yu's hair with his cheek.
"Just like you can dream about me, I can hear your voice when I hallucinate."

Su Ye recalled in a low voice, remembering everything like the back of his hand.

"When I try to cook, I can hear you reminding me to watch out for the fumes."
"When I go out, you'll tell me to put on more clothes behind me."

Su Ye recalled another incident and his face turned slightly red.

"When I finished cutting my hair, I heard your voice, smiling and saying mischievously, 'It looks like a bob.'"

Xi Yu paused for a moment and felt a sudden realization.
"So when we were looking at the pictures on Christmas day—"

So when Su Ye heard him deliberately joking about the bob haircut that day, his reaction was so big that it was beyond Chu Yu's expectation. Afterwards, he asked him in suspense, "Is it really a bob haircut?"

At that time, Su Ye looked very annoyed and he sighed softly.

Xi Yu was surprised for a moment. Su Ye was often bullied by fans when he was in the group, but he had a gentle temper and didn't care much about it, so his reaction had never been so big.

"Yeah." Su Ye said softly, "But in my auditory hallucination, after you teased me, you told me very seriously that it looked very beautiful and suited me very well."

Xi Yu remained silent and listened quietly.

This experience must have been wonderful for Su Ye, so wonderful that he could not tell whether this coincidence was due to his understanding of Xi Yu's thoughts too well, or whether Xi Yu's thoughts were really thousands of miles away, crossing the limitations of time and space to come to Su Ye.

“That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the photo.”

Su Ye's eyes widened slightly, which was very cute, as if she was shocked and surprised.

"So I don't want to see a doctor." After a moment, Su Ye said, "If I see a doctor, I may never hear your voice again."

Xi Yu held Su Ye's waist, thinking of the time when Su Ye video-called him in the middle of the night, and shyly but seriously told him, "I like listening to you talk."

It turned out to be the case.

"I'm by your side now." Xi Yu whispered.

Su Ye hugged him, and gently put his face against Xi Yu's neck, "Well, I can tell the difference now."

As if to break the atmosphere, Xi Yu chuckled, "In your auditory hallucination, I sound like an old woman."

Su Ye retorted in a low voice, "How could that be? You are so nice. When I just returned to China, you were still——"

Halfway through his speech, Su Ye noticed that his wording was not right and changed it.
"When I first returned to China, I forgot to wear slippers and walked around the house barefoot for a long time, and then suddenly I heard you say to me, 'Why aren't you wearing slippers again?'"

"Did you wear it then?"

Su Ye nodded, "I put it on after I heard it."

Su Ye's tone sounded cute, but Xi Yu still felt a hint of humor in his words.

However, this should just be Xi Yu's own inner thoughts, because when Su Ye mentioned these, he looked really happy, as if he had really picked up a huge bargain.

This made Xi Yu feel even more distressed.

"Xi Yu." Su Ye suddenly had a wild idea, "Do you think that when I hallucinate you, it's because you are thinking about me at the same time?"

"Is it the same as what you said before, that two people who miss each other at the same time will meet in their dreams?"

Su Ye nodded, but felt a little embarrassed, thinking that what he said was too inappropriate.

"It's hard to say, Shuishui." Xi Yu hugged him tightly, "Because I think about you all the time. I was thinking about you on the plane when I returned to Nanshi."

He missed the person in his heart, then got off the plane, and finally waited for Su Ye's return at the airport in the temperature of the first snow.

Su Ye was silent for a while. Xi Yu kissed his earlobe and said, "Shui Shui?"

"It's true." Su Ye finally spoke, smiling and beaming with joy, which made Xi Yu stare blankly at him. "That theory is true!"

Xi Yu leaned close to Su Ye's face and asked, "What?"

Su Ye turned his head, stared at Xi Yu, and then suddenly and actively kissed him.

"Did you fall asleep on the plane when you returned to Nanshi from Haishi?"

"Ok?"
How did Su Ye know this?
Xi Yu was very surprised. He did take a rare nap on the plane at that time. Perhaps it was because he hadn't slept for a long time, or maybe it was because the cold air was too fierce.

As soon as he fell asleep, he saw Su Ye again, standing on the street, his back figure within reach.

"On the day I returned home, I also fell asleep and had a dream on the plane."

Through the faint sound of water, Xi Yu heard Su Ye's vague whispers, which continued to knock on his heart, with the lingering sound.

"If two people miss each other at the same time, they will meet in their dreams."

Su Ye was very happy.
"Xi Yu, it's you. I dreamed of you."
