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

Su Ye's smile stayed on his face, and then faded away inch by inch.

PD Wang was so distressed that he waved his hands quickly after he finished speaking, "It's okay, Brother Su. This is force majeure. The program team will not judge Brother Su as a failure in his mission."

Su Ye nodded randomly without saying anything, and reached out to wipe away the snowflakes that had melted on his face.
Very icy, very cold, with a cool and damp feeling.

PD Wang was still negotiating something with the workers from the leasing company behind him. After discussing it for a while, the workers stretched their heads to look at Su Ye who was squatting on the shore.

The location that Su Ye and the workers had originally agreed upon was very close to the shore. The sea water came up and then receded, wetting the tips of Su Ye's shoes. Su Ye couldn't help but curl his toes and bring his knees together.

The weather was not good and the workers felt very sorry. They did not deduct the deposit and only collected one hour's rental fee. They did not dare to disturb Su Ye and gave the remaining money to PD Wang.

The weather was bad and the dock closed early. The workers were carrying the props back, and a few of them couldn't help but look at it before leaving.
Su Ye was still squatting on the beach, with a bunch of small things around him, looking up at the sky where snowflakes were falling.

PD Wang returned the money to Su Ye, "Brother Su, please order a little. There is still a lot left. You can have a good meal with Yu Yu tomorrow!"

The PD should not skip the program process and give advice to the guests without authorization. But the expression on Su Ye's face was so distressing that PD Wang could not care about it.

Because the mission had to be kept secret, others didn't know, but as the PD who had always followed Su Ye, she knew it very well.
Su Ye has spent the whole day today preparing for this evening's surprise, putting in so much effort.

Su Ye looked at the sky for a while, and heard PD Wang talking faintly beside him. He came to his senses, took the money, and lowered his head to pick up the small things on the beach.

The high ponytail like light mist slid down from her shoulders and neck. Su Ye bent her back slightly, and the ends of her hair swept the ground, leaving faint traces.

He screwed up again.
I wasn't able to prepare a surprise for my baby.

An image emerged of a little boy holding his coat, standing quietly and silently on the seaside pedestrian street.

PD Wang's worried voice reached his ears, "It's okay, Brother Xiao Su, let's go back first. The snow is getting heavy, Yu Yu must be waiting for you."

"Okay." Su Ye didn't want to make things difficult for the crew, so he packed up his things, folded his bag, and stood up carrying the bags.

PD Wang felt distressed and guilty, so he quickly reached out to share a few bags. For the first time, he empathized with the guests and cursed the director crew for being inhuman.

After walking a few steps, Su Ye looked back.

The coastline was dark and gloomy. A fierce wave hit the shore, and the footprints left by the group of people just now were instantly wiped out, leaving the beach smooth and flat.
It was as if this undelivered surprise was just his own imagination from beginning to end.

He withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the glass house.

"Brother Xiao Su, are you okay?" When they arrived in front of the spherical, crystal clear landscape house, PD Wang put his things under the porch and asked worriedly.

Su Ye didn't say much along the way. Although PD Wang had noticed over the past few days that he was not a talkative person, Su Ye would occasionally listen quietly to the gossip of people around him and then smile slightly.
But now Su Ye seemed to be immersed in his own world, with an invisible and unbreakable barrier built along the way.

"It's okay." Su Ye took the other things and said, "Thank you PD."

PD Wang quickly shook his head and looked into the room.
The room was still lit only by the chandelier on the dome, with no other light source, making it seem a little dim. At first glance, the pretty cub couldn't be seen.

However, it shouldn't matter. This group of guests and the cubs can be said to be the best pair getting along this season. Even Ding Tiantian and Ding Hewan have had disagreements, but there has never been any friction between Yu Yu and Su Ye.

until today.

PD Wang moved his eyes and looked at Su Ye's unbuttoned coat, revealing a section of his collarbone, with the bone slightly red, like the heat after exercising in the hot summer.

"Button, Brother Su, please keep warm. The temperature will definitely drop later."
PD Wang didn't think too much about it. He just gestured and left with other staff members.

Su Ye was in a daze. Upon hearing this, he lowered his head and buttoned his collar.

He stood in front of the glass door, hesitated for a moment as his finger rested on the door handle, and finally, he realized something and felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Su Ye felt dizzy and heavy-footed as he walked back. He kept thinking about PD Wang's hesitant and discouraged voice, the beach smoothed by the waves, and the silent baby standing in the sea breeze.
When I reached the door, an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart.

Su Ye stood at the wind's edge and thought for a long time before he vaguely felt that this emotion was probably "regret".

There are too many regrets in his life: his original family, his mother's illness, his abruptly ended acting career, and his own love affair that ended like a farce.
Compared to this, this regret seems insignificant.

But when Su Ye walked to the door with a dizzy head and didn't know how to push it open, he realized that this regret had dealt him such a huge blow.

Su Ye was holding his breath all day today, facing the questioning of his former youngest member of the team and the embarrassment of being booed on the street.
Because there was this most important thing waiting for him at night, everything else was insignificant.

Now, the breath that had been held was finally exhaled, and along with the rest of the breath, it disappeared into the cold air.

Su Ye fumbled for the spray with his fingers, pressed it on his face and took a deep breath, then put it in his pocket and pushed open the door to go in.

"Zai Zai?"
No answer.

The room was very quiet and seemed somewhat empty, with only Su Ye's own voice filling the room.

Su Ye moved his fingers from the ceiling light switch and saw a bulge in the quilt on the bed inside.
Is the baby asleep?

Su Ye couldn't explain his mood. He vaguely felt that Zi Zi seemed angry. Although he didn't know the reason, he felt a little at a loss and didn't know how to face those beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The baby fell asleep, and I should be relieved.
Children are quick-tempered and forgetful, so perhaps they will calm down after a good night’s sleep.

But this didn't make Su Ye feel much better.

In his heart, Zizi is always different from other children.

Su Ye suppressed his emotions, carefully put down the bag in his hand, and placed the crystal ball with snowflakes floating on it on the low cabinet beside the beautiful cub's bed.

The crystal ball was quite heavy, and when Su Ye was fiddling with it, he accidentally hit the glass lampshade of the bedside lamp, making a crisp and loud "ding" sound.

His whole body stiffened, and he stood in that position for a long time, holding his breath. When he saw that there was no movement on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside his bed.
The baby is sleeping so soundly.

Su Ye's fingers unconsciously continued to grope for other things, and suddenly he touched a ukulele and a bouquet of flowers wrapped in old newspapers.
He came to his senses and remembered the bunch of lilacs. He picked it up carefully and peeled back the newspaper. He saw that the tiny flowers on the outside had wilted a lot.

A sense of loss came over me.

Su Ye still found the vase that he had used for breakfast in the morning, took out the withered flowers inside, and put the lilacs in it.

After putting it away, he took out the ukulele again.
It was the one Ding Tiantian lent him. Maybe the girl forgot to take it back and he forgot to return it, so he stuffed it into the bag and took it back together.

Su Ye stood up from the bed and sat cross-legged beside the beautiful cub's bed. He pressed his fingers on the cold strings and the ukulele made a tiny vibrating sound.

"Baby, brother will sing a song for you, okay?" Su Ye spoke as if talking to himself.

There was certainly no sound from the bed.

Su Ye's voice was very light, "I'm going to sing a song I like very much. After you listen to it, don't be angry anymore, okay?"

In the quiet room, apart from the vibration sound and his voice, the only sound was the heavy rain and snow outside, which hit the glass again and again.

"Since you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Su Ye felt a dull pain in his head. He untied his high ponytail, and a strand of hair instantly fell down, obediently sticking to his tense and slightly bent back, casting a layer of light silver moonlight, swaying in the dim room.

He pressed the strings lightly with his fingers, took a shallow breath, like a small sigh, and then the ethereal and light singing flowed out.

"I have no intention of blaming the dawn for being too hasty to gather the mist around me."
"Only by being lazy and deliberately covering it up can we recall the original appearance."

The person sitting on the ground was singing softly to himself, and Su Ye's unique voice filled the room.

Su Ye's voice is different from the other three teammates in the group.

Needless to say, the third child, Xi Yu, has a voice that can capture people's hearts. The youngest, Jiang Congfeng, has a very aggressive bass voice, and the second child and captain, An Sijia, has a clear and energetic voice.

As for Su Ye, the face of the group, his breath was even and clear, and his voice was extremely unique, like mist. Unlike Xi Yu, his voice captured people's hearts as soon as it came out, but after listening to a while, the audience suddenly realized that they had already followed this mist.

At that time, fans often said that Su Ye’s voice was like a mermaid’s singing that could heal others.

Su Ye lowered his head and sang the first paragraph neither slowly nor hurriedly. The mist gradually dissipated, leaving only the slightly trembling ending sound of the ukulele strings.

He lowered his head and slowly let the last bit of air in his lungs out. His brain began to feel a little dizzy as if he was lacking oxygen, but it wasn't enough to cause a serious illness.

After the song was finished, Su Ye was quiet for a long time, and there was still no movement on the bed.

Su Ye took out the remaining things in his handbag, a still slightly hot croissant and half-sugar bubble milk tea, and placed them on the low cabinet where the snowflake crystal ball was already placed, like Santa Claus secretly bringing gifts in the middle of the night.

The warm milk tea was about to cool down. Su Ye rubbed his hands, blew hot air several times into his lips, gathered the white mist in his palms, and covered the paper cup of milk tea.

The heat continued to flow from the milk tea cup into Su Ye's palms. He was worried that he was making things worse, so he had to loosen his hands covering the paper cup and put the milk tea back on the low cabinet.

On the low cabinet, snowflakes were slowly floating in the crystal ball, and Su Ye couldn't help but take another look.

"Good to hear."
A voice came from behind.

A hand came around Su Ye's back to the right, took the cup of milk tea directly from his hand, and pulled out the straw of the milk tea from Su Ye's palm.

There was a rustling sound of plastic paper, followed by a "click".

Su Ye was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He instantly stood up from the beautiful cub's bed, and because he stood up too quickly, he felt dizzy.
"Cub?!"

Su Ye couldn't control his dark eyes, and sat back on the bed with his upper body leaning back on it, instantly flattening the bulge in the quilt.

Her long hair was scattered on the bed like a blooming flower.

Su Ye blinked while lying on the bed. Looking up, he saw the straight jaw of Zaizai, who was biting the plastic packaging of a straw in his mouth and was inserting the straw into the plastic packaging of the milk tea with his eyes lowered.

The beautiful cub's movements were very neat and precise. On the first try, he pierced the sturdy plastic seal with the tip of the straw and successfully immersed it in the warm milk tea.
After inserting the straw, the pretty cub turned its head and blew casually, and the plastic packaging it was biting was blown off and fell into the wastebasket beside the bed.

Su Ye fell on the bed, staring blankly.
".Baby, didn't you sleep?"

Xi Yu took a sip of milk tea, bit the soft and elastic pearls with his teeth, crushed them into pieces and swallowed them.
"It's just after nine."

Su Ye was still a little dizzy and dazed. "Oh." After the beautiful cub drank a sip of milk tea, he glanced at the things on the low cabinet.
“Are these all for me?”

Hearing this, Su Ye propped himself up on the bed and sat up, with a few strands of hair hanging messily by his ears. "Well, these are all bought for the baby. Eat them, baby."

The pretty cub reached out and grabbed a croissant and took a bite.
It tastes salty and is quite delicious.

Xi Yu frowned and lowered his eyes, his drooping eyelashes moving slowly with his gaze, and his eyes fell on Su Ye's face.
"Brother just said that he likes that song very much?"

Su Ye's fingers were clasped around the edge of the ukulele, his brain was like a ball of paste that couldn't be kneaded, and he couldn't spare the energy to think about anything else.

With a slight smile, he was silent for a second or two, looked at Zizi's pretty and familiar face, and nodded honestly.
"Yeah, I like it very much."

The beautiful cub came close all of a sudden, face to face, as close as the day they first met, even their eyelashes seemed to be entangled.
"How much do you like it?"

Su Ye blinked slowly, and his tiny smile expanded like ripples, and his cheeks had a little bit of dogwood color.
“I like it very much.”

The beautiful cub also blinked, and its eyelashes seemed to lightly brush against Su Ye's eyelids. Su Ye's slow brain could not figure out what it was.

The cub is talking, "Why do you like it?"

Su Ye's lips moved. At this distance, as they opened and closed, Xi Yu could see the slightly red tip of his tongue moving in coordination with his breath, uttering words that he could understand.
“It sounds good.”

Su Ye rarely listened to other people's songs, because Xi Yu's songs were enough for him.

The beautiful cub's eyelashes seemed to be motionless, and he stared at Su Ye for a while.

Su Ye's eyes were sincere and he was not lying.
That's what he thought, it just sounds good.
If it were another excellent work, he would probably give the same answer.

Xi Yu felt a little annoyed, so he looked away and crushed several pearls with his teeth.
"Ah, that's it."

Su Ye had already sat back down on the edge of his bed. When Xi Yu was getting irritated, he lifted the quilt and crawled into the warm, thick bed, leaving only his long hair exposed.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xi Yu, who had one leg crossed on the edge of the bed and the other leg hanging on the ground.

Xi Yu looked up and saw Su Ye's appearance.

"Are you going to sleep?"
"Is the cub still angry?"

The two spoke in unison.

Xi Yu's restless heart suddenly calmed down, and he looked at Su Ye, "Why should I be angry?"

Su Ye seemed to be much more honest tonight. He answered every question and did not evade the topic by talking about other topics.

He shook his head, "I don't know, but the cub is angry."

After hearing the words “I don’t know”, Xi Yu remained silent for a long time.

How could you not know?
How could Su Ye say he didn’t know?
A vague and tiny sound rang in Xi Yu's ears, like an auditory hallucination caused by emotional trends.
He stood up from the bed, walked step by step to the head of Su Ye's bed and squatted down, his eyes level with Su Ye's eyes that were exposed from under the quilt.

Xi Yu pulled the quilt that Su Ye had tightly wrapped around him, and Su Ye obediently let go of the quilt and let Xi Yu slowly lift it up.

Su Ye's slender white neck was exposed, a little hot, tangled in messy hair.

Xi Yu lowered his eyes and slowly stroked the neck with his fingers, hooking away the tangled hair on it, leaving the pearls exposed inside the clam shell.
His fingers were placed on the slender and upright cervical vertebrae. Su Ye's pulse was beating under the skin, connecting to Su Ye's heartbeat from the palm of his hand.

Xi Yu couldn't tell for a moment whether the blood in his body was more violent or Su Ye's pulse was more lively.

"How could you not know?"
He spoke softly, his palm completely pressed against Su Ye's neck.

The palms of a five-year-old child are still relatively small. Even if the middle finger and thumb are fully stretched out, they can only circle half of Su Ye's neck.

If he was in normal circumstances, he would hold Su Ye's neck, pinch the back of Su Ye's neck with his index and middle fingers, and rub the pulse beside the thin white cervical bone with his thumb. These actions would be enough with one hand.

Su Ye shrank back, and the collarbone under his neck opened and closed with his breathing, like an exquisite art installation.

".It's so itchy."
Su Ye's face was set off by messy hair. He muttered something softly and frowned as if complaining. The mole at the end of his eyebrow rolled out from between his hair.

Xi Yu did not withdraw his hand, but stared into Su Ye's eyes and spoke slowly.
Taking advantage of this night when Su Ye is being overly honest.

"Why did you suddenly quit the group?"

What he really wanted to ask was why Su Ye suddenly left without saying a word, leaving him alone and not having any news for five years.
But Xi Yu still had a trace of rationality left and did not ask this overly direct and explicit question.

The collarbone next to Xi Yu's hand suddenly tightened, and a deep shadow appeared under his shoulder and neck, and then slowly relaxed, allowing a little moonlight to shine in, which was incredibly beautiful.

“Because it’s better for everyone.”

Su Ye's eyes were a little vague, and it was hard to tell what his current state was. Only this whisper came out of his mouth.

His head went from dizziness to sharp pain, accompanied by bursts of tinnitus, and he struggled to make out what the people around him were saying.
His thinking ability had been weakened, and Su Ye gave his own answer instinctively.

Memories flashed back along with the headache.

That happened five years ago, and most of the time Su Ye has been able to deliberately restrain himself from thinking about it.

Over time, Su Ye thought that this memory had been buried in a corner by him.
But when his head started to burn, he realized that memories would never fade away, they just lacked the right opportunity to pull them out in one go.

Su Ye was also surprised to find in a trance that he remembered every detail of this memory so clearly.
For example, this burst of intense pain, the sound of Xi Yu's footsteps going out to buy medicine in the pain, the termination contract pushed across the conference table, and the agent's hesitant face.

That day was his first asthma attack.

Su Ye had never suffered from this disease since he was a child. At most, he would feel some chest tightness when he had a cold or fever, but it was not to the extent of shortness of breath. He never thought of it asthma.

It was the same that day. Because of the drop in temperature, he opened the door of the practice room after dancing practice and was blown by the cold wind in his face. He began to have a headache and chest tightness.

Xi Yu asked An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng to look after him while he ran out to buy medicine.

After Xi Yu left, the agent came over and said that he had something to discuss with Su Ye. An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng didn't think much about it, and had no reason to stop him, so they let the agent take Su Ye away.

Then Su Ye entered the meeting room, and the senior executives of the opposite company pushed a document over.
"Is this your mother's medical record?"

Su Ye only opened it and took a quick look. On the first page was a photo of his mother Su Yun wearing a straitjacket and sitting in a wheelchair while being tried in court.

The dull feeling in his chest that had never crossed the line in the past twenty years suddenly broke through the limit. He remembered that he was sitting at the conference table and gasping for breath. His agent was startled and his mother's medical record fell to the ground, with black and white words scattered all over the floor.

It was then that Su Ye realized for the first time that the sound of his breathing could actually carry a breaking and tearing sound.

Because of his sudden asthma attack, he was rushed to the company's infirmary, and he felt better after inhaling the mist.
Then the company gave him a contract to terminate the contract, saying that Su Ye's body was not strong enough to support the high-intensity singing and dancing work of the boy group, and it was very likely to drag down the progress of the entire Oril group.

Because this was a unilateral termination of the contract by Xingli, the compensation was very generous, a considerable termination fee, which was a good deal for Su Ye, whose mother needed a large sum of money for medical treatment.

The requirements were to unconditionally announce to the public that they were leaving the group for personal reasons, not to reveal that it was the company that terminated the contract, not even to their teammates, and not to appear in any camera for five years.

Naturally, Su Ye at that time could not accept it for a while, and he argued with the higher-ups for a long time. Finally, a word from the higher-ups broke all his determination to fight to the death.

"Your teammates are all newcomers with unlimited potential. Are you going to drag down and bury all their possibilities just because of you?"
"You should be aware of your situation. You are a time bomb in the group. If you stay for one more day, the other three will explode and none of them will be able to handle it cleanly. They will all be dragged down by you."

Su Ye was unable to make any further rebuttal.
He knows his teammates' ideals and aspirations better than anyone else.

The second in command and team leader, An Sijia, had been a trainee in the company for five years, missing out on three groups in a row before being brought up by Oril.
The youngest member Jiang Congfeng even postponed his enrollment in university for a year in order to practice and participate in activities within the group.
And Xi Yu, who usually looks lazy and careless, actually made many plans while curled up on the sofa with Su Ye.

In the end, he signed the termination letter.

Xingli was very well prepared. He even told Su Ye that he had arranged his flight ticket after he signed the termination letter, and asked him to pack his luggage and leave as soon as possible and not to meet with other teammates, so that everyone could continue to work with peace of mind.

When his aunt Su Lan learned about his situation, she rejected the nanny car arranged by the company on his behalf, and personally drove him back to the house where he and Xi Yu lived, and helped him pack his luggage.

It was a sunny day and the sky was boundless.

Su Lan was making a phone call in the living room to hand over her work, while he was packing his clothes in the bedroom, following the storage method Xi Yu taught him, rolling them up one by one and stuffing them into the suitcase.

Su Ye was in a trance and couldn't help but hold on to some pitiful fantasies and wild thoughts in his heart.
Please snow, please snow heavily.

If it snows heavily, the plane might be delayed or postponed, and he might be able to see Xi Yu again.

Su Lan hung up the phone in the living room, stood beside the bedroom with the door closed, suppressed her anger, and spoke in a low voice.
"Xiao Ye, my aunt received a call from the hospital saying that your mother's illness has relapsed and she needs to see you."

Su Lan stood half a meter away from the bedroom and tried her best to speak in the softest tone, but there was no response from Su Ye in the bedroom.

Finally, Lidya Su felt something was wrong and pushed open the bedroom door.

Su Ye fell beside the suitcase, holding the phone in his hand, with intermittent, hoarse and unpleasant breathing coming from his mouth, and tears streaming down his face.
There was a message notification on the phone, sent by Xi Yu.

[Shuishui, have a good rest. I'm on my way and will be home soon.]
When Su Lan saw Su Ye like this, she burst into tears immediately, hugged Su Ye and contacted the driver to come up and help.

Su Ye fell into Su Lan's arms, looking into Su Lan's eyes, tears continuously flowing out, flowing into his slightly open mouth, tasting salty and bitter.

The driver quickly ran up with the medicine and carried Su Ye down.
Su Lan stayed behind, took only the necessary documents, returned the keys to the landlord, and left with Su Ye.

The air was squeezed out of the lungs bit by bit, and the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed the whole body.
Su Ye's vision was blurred. There seemed to be many colorful balls of light rising in the air. He squinted his eyes to look, but could not see anything clearly.

Su Lan helplessly held her beautiful but miserable nephew, and urged the driver to drive faster in a crying voice.

The cell phone was put into the coat pocket, and Su Ye's hand was held by Su Lan. He was in a daze and had a lot to say, but because of the asthma attack, he couldn't utter a word.

I don't want to leave.
I want to see Xi Yu.
Can you wait a little longer? Just wait a little longer. He will be back soon.

Why only me.
Aunt, I'm so sad.

Any words that came out of Su Ye's mouth turned into harsh, broken and sharp gasps.
