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

The man slumped against the wall had most of his body shrouded in shadow, with only his bent legs slightly visible in the light coming in from the door.

Su Ye's breathing completely froze for a moment.

A familiar voice came from the shadow, dishevelled and hoarse, mixed with some strange painful emotions, very different from the usual tone, but it was enough for Su Ye to hear how familiar the voice was.

This was a voice that was engraved into his heart and even turned into auditory hallucination, lingering in his ears.

Su Ye's eyes widened uncontrollably, his gaze became wandering, and he stared desperately into the house.

This solitary confinement room had no windows or doors. Except for the gap in the door that he had slightly opened, the rest of the place was pitch black. It was as if all visual functions had been taken away, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

However, there was an extra beam of light in this dark room, coming from the door that Su Ye was holding with his fingers.

Su Ye brought light to this room.

But Su Ye felt a great panic rising in his heart, and even wanted to turn around and run away.
If the slender legs visible in the light were not enough for Su Ye to recognize who was sitting inside, then the low and hoarse voice was the most clear clue.

The people inside called him "Shui Shui".

Only one person calls him that, and only one person knows this intimate and ambiguous nickname.

Because this was originally named by that person.

The answer was already in front of him, waiting for him to uncover it.

But Su Ye didn't dare. He could only keep his eyes open and stare at the endless darkness to deceive himself. He involuntarily took small steps back, trying to leave the shadow in a dodging manner.

"Meow."

The big pure black cat stood beside the man's legs, its eyes sparkling, still filled with pain, but it seemed to be staring at Su Ye with hope.

Su Ye felt that he couldn't move under this kind of gaze.

His gaze shifted slightly to the man whose upper body was shrouded in shadow.

The shadow was too dark and heavy, and Su Ye couldn't see whether the man was staring at him with the same eyes.

The emotions of the spiritual body originate from the original body. The emotions that the original body wants to conceal will be reflected in the spiritual body in the most straightforward way.

Su Ye had secretly learned everything about the sentinels, so he naturally knew this truth.

But the brighter Maine Coon's eyes became, the more Su Ye felt it was difficult to breathe.

The man shouted “Shui Shui” and then fell silent.

The room was filled with low, hoarse gasps, mixed with Su Ye's barely perceptible, trembling breaths.

Maine was still looking at Su Ye, as if he was looking forward to Su Ye's next move.

"No it's not."

Su Ye felt that his thoughts were in a state of confusion. He chased Maine out, worried that there might be an injured person nearby, but he never thought that the injured person might be Xi Yu.

Xi Yu, who only existed in his auditory hallucinations, suddenly appeared, five years later. He sat against the wall in a completely different posture, looking exhausted and in pain.

Hearing Su Ye's voice, the shadow moved again, "Shui Shui."

This sentence is different from the question at the end of the previous sentence, but is an affirmative statement.

This tone made Su Ye feel ashamed.

"I don't."

Su Ye retreated in panic, speaking incoherent words quickly and hastily, and as he retreated he bumped into the door of the confinement room next to him.

The door opened suddenly as Su Ye moved.

The light grew larger and brighter, squeezing in from behind Su Ye hundreds of times, illuminating the entire scene in the room.

Su Ye froze, unable to deceive himself any longer.

These rays of light did not even give Su Ye time to buffer, and instantly illuminated the shadow clearly.

Xi Yu sat against the wall with one leg stretched out and the other bent. He was dressed in black, with the collar of his shirt ripped open and the buttons broken.

The bloody scratches started from the invisible part below the collar and spread all over the neck. The blood stained the dark grey shirt and turned it into a darker color.

Xi Yu's slightly curly black hair also became very messy, hanging on the sides of his lowered face, swaying with his breathing.

Su Ye's heart almost tightened immediately, and he couldn't move his feet, as if he was nailed to the spot.

Xi Yu raised his eyes with great effort and finally saw what was in front of him clearly.

The endless bright white light is dazzling.

Su Ye stood in the light against his back, his body still tall and straight, his face blurred by the light.

Like an angel coming to greet him.

Xi Yu laughed, and his laughter was so dazed that he seemed to be out of consciousness.

"Shuishui, why don't you come over?"

"Shui Shui" moved, as if wanting to take a step forward, but finally stopped at the door.

Xi Yu was unconscious and reached out his hand towards the light.

"Shuishui, come to me."

Su Ye finally let out the breath that had been hanging in his chest, stumbled towards Xi Yu, and squatted down on one knee.

The Maine Coon next to him pulled himself together, wagged its tail, then turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

"Xi Yu." Su Ye stretched out his hand helplessly, and his fingertips touched Xi Yu's wound. Xi Yu immediately hissed, and Su Ye hurriedly stopped.

How could Xi Yu be injured so badly?

The Xi family is powerful and it is impossible for them to let Xi Yu encounter anything overly dangerous.

"Shui Shui."

Xi Yu called Su Ye again, and held Su Ye's retracted hand. His brows were furrowed because of the pain, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he smiled with great satisfaction.

Su Ye didn't have time to think about why Xi Yu had no emotions at all five years later. The most urgent thing was to deal with the injuries on Xi Yu's body as soon as possible.

Those wounds looked like scratches and were stained with blood. Some places even left indelible scars. Su Ye felt as if his neck was also burning with pain.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find something to bandage it." Su Ye was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He turned around and was about to walk towards the door.

However, he couldn't pull his hand away, Xi Yu held it tightly and did not let go.

Xi Yu was very strong and used all his strength to squeeze Su Ye's wrist so hard that it hurt.

"Ouch!" Su Ye felt pain and groaned softly reflexively.

The hand holding him loosened a little upon hearing the sound, but still held his wrist, refusing to let go.

In this urgent situation, Su Ye felt that Xi Yu looked very familiar, just like the beautiful Maine Coon that was hissing in the corner before.

She stayed quietly in the corner, enduring the pain, silent but stubborn, refusing to leave Su Ye.

But a cat couldn't hold Su Ye like a human could, preventing him from moving even a step.

Su Ye lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, his eyes falling on Xi Yu's hand with bulging blue veins. There was guilt in his tone and he opened his mouth unconsciously as if he had committed a mistake.

He should know very well why Xi Yu is like this.
All because of him.

"Xi Yu, let go first, I——"

"No."

Su Ye was pulled violently, and he was half squatting and couldn't stand steadily, and fell headfirst into Xi Yu's arms.

The hand holding his wrist loosened and instead touched Su Ye's waist. Like a child holding a doll, he held Su Ye tightly and refused to let go.

Su Ye was about to struggle when he suddenly heard Xi Yu open his mouth again. His tone was very soft, as if he wanted to reassure Su Ye and let her continue to stay in his arms obediently.

"Didn't I tell you, it's okay, it'll be fine soon."

Su Ye became confused.

When did Xi Yu say that?
Xi Yu's voice continued, and this time he even reached out and gently stroked Su Ye's thin back soothingly, his fingers resting on Su Ye's beautiful shoulder blades through the clothes.

"Shui Shui is always so anxious."

Su Ye became more and more confused.
Every time? Why are you so anxious every time?
Xi Yu hugged him, and Su Ye felt Xi Yu resting his chin on the crook of his neck, rubbing his cheek affectionately yet possessively.

"Don't go, stay with me a little longer." Xi Yu whispered, "Otherwise, when I wake up, you will be gone."

Su Ye calmed down completely.

At such close range, the two people snuggled together, even their hair was tangled together.

But Su Ye's heart was gripped with grief.

They were very close, yet also very far apart.

He was so far away that he really appeared in front of Xi Yu, but Xi Yu thought it was a dream.

Guilt and pain overwhelmed Su Ye, making his eyes dry and unable to utter anything. He could only quietly accompany Xi Yu.

"very nice."

Su Ye heard Xi Yu say this.

When Su Ye hurriedly chased out, he was wearing very thin clothes, a hospital gown under a knitted cardigan. The thin cotton material was quickly wetted by the blood from Xi Yu's wound and seeped into the skin of Su Ye's chest, feeling hot and sticky.

This temperature reminded Su Ye.
No, Xi Yu is still injured.

Su Ye struggled for a while, "Xi Yu, can you let me go first?"

"not good."
The force holding him increased a little.

Su Ye was very anxious, "Be obedient, your injury must be treated."

"I don't want to listen to my brother."

Su Ye felt a slight pain in his shoulder, and Xi Yu actually bit him on his shoulder.

"I used to listen to you too much, so you left me and ran away alone."

Su Ye froze.

Xi Yu bit her neither too hard nor too lightly, enough to leave teeth marks, and after that he kissed her lovingly.

"This is my dream, you should listen to me."

Su Ye lowered his head and took a deep breath, "Xi——"

"It's okay, this injury will heal soon, don't worry."

Xi Yu acted like a naughty kid. Su Ye was extremely anxious and felt sore and swollen in the chest that he had no choice but to reach out and push Xi Yu.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Su Ye suddenly discovered that there were dried bloodstains on Xi Yu's fingers.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Xi Yu, did you catch this yourself?"

Xi Yu's voice sounded happy and satisfied, "Yeah."

Su Ye's voice gradually fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke. His voice was hoarse and each word was difficult to utter.

".Where's your guide?"

After Su Ye finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and pressed the tip of his tongue against the roots of his teeth, which felt sore and painful.

Xi Yu's fingers suddenly tightened, and his fingertips scratched Su Ye's back.

The grab was quite hard this time, and Su Ye's back was so painful that his beautiful spine bulged out and was stretched like a bow.

"No."

Su Ye opened his mouth before his brain, and the tip of his tongue that was pressing against the roots of his teeth released.
"what?"

Xi Yu's voice came from the crook of his neck, very quietly.
"I have no guide."
