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

When he lay back weakly on the soft bed again, Su Ye heard a familiar "tick-tick" sound.

He turned his tired neck to look for the tiny sound, and his eyes finally caught sight of a round clock leaning against the side table.

There were no marks on the clock. Su Ye tried hard to move his brain which had become dull after the huge sensory stimulation, and slowly realized that the pointer on the round clock was almost pointing to three o'clock.

"already--"

Su Ye just opened his mouth and turned his head to the side, but Xi Yu stretched out his hand and held it back, "Already?"

Xi Yu lay on his side and looked at Su Ye, his peach blossom eyes were casual and charming, waiting for the second half of Su Ye's unfinished words.

Su Ye felt a little guilty.

".It's already three o'clock."

Su Ye sneaked over from the side of the connected balcony tonight. Originally, it was just because of the huge feeling of loss and the sudden strong desire to see Xi Yu. In addition, after hearing what An Sijia said before, he hoped to see Xi Yu have a good rest.

The result was contrary to their expectations. Instead of getting a good rest, the two of them stayed up until three in the morning.

"I just wanted to bring you a glass of milk." Su Ye said in a low voice, the pink on her exposed shoulders had not yet faded.

When Su Ye is tired, his speech will be a little incoherent, but Xi Yu can accurately grasp what Su Ye wants to convey.

"It doesn't matter. Exercise helps you sleep better. When you are tired, you will feel sleepy. It is much more useful than milk."

Just as Xi Yu had expected, Su Ye frowned, but not because of anger or embarrassment, but because he couldn't resist Xi Yu's teasing.

Su Ye pursed her lips, looking like she meant "I don't want to talk to you".

Xi Yu would always be particularly obsessed with Su Ye at this time, and would tease him even more, even though this was not at all Su Ye's original intention of keeping silent.

But after a while, Su Ye relaxed her pursed lips again, and a strange determination of throwing away the jar appeared on her face.
"Okay, so how does it work?"

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Su Ye is really very different from before in this respect.
If it were in the past, Su Ye would never have accepted Xi Yu's words that were so embarrassing.

However, since Su Ye himself was a person with not much temper, he did not try to stop Xi Yu from speaking. He just kept staring at Xi Yu, as if he was looking at a child who was making a fuss.

But a child couldn't do it like this. Su Ye was covered in sweat, with his hair loose, lying on the pillow, and his snow-white back rose and fell with his breathing.

Now Su Ye seems to have become more frank about this kind of thing, which makes Xi Yu unable to help but wonder what caused Su Ye to change like this.

Xi Yu thought for a moment and answered.
"I don't think so. I'm not very tired yet."

Su Ye opened his eyes slightly, and the quilt covering his upper body slipped down a little. He looked like a pearl that had fallen out of a clam, with a pearly luster due to the wetness from the intense exercise.

Xi Yu reached out and pushed Su Ye back into the quilt, fearing that he would catch a cold.

Su Ye said a little depressed: "You are really amazing."
The tone was confused and helpless, and it sounded more like a complaint than a compliment.

Xi Yu couldn't help but chuckle, "Shui Shui, I was just teasing you."

Half of Su Ye's face was pressed on the pillow, and his cheek flesh was slightly bulging, which gave Su Ye a rare feeling of innocence and simplicity.

Xi Yu felt itchy and reached out to poke Su Ye, forcing his mouth to open helplessly. His soft lips were glistening and wet under the light.

Xi Yu couldn't help but say, "Teacher Su, you look quite different now than usual."

In the eyes of others, Su Ye is a person who is confused and even a little slow, but his every move still makes people feel elegant and calm.

It is difficult to see too many childish behaviors in Su Ye. Even those little habits of Su Ye that make people feel adorable are just one of the characteristics that Su Ye has accumulated.
Cute, but not too childish.

Xi Yu sometimes felt puzzled, but was uncontrollably obsessed with Su Ye.

He wondered casually, would Su Ye look more mature after eating for two more years?
Perhaps this is also one of the characteristics developed during Su Ye's growth.

Su Ye's lower abdomen tightened and she was speechless about what Xi Yu said. The tips of her ears turned red.

"I'm not usually like this." He pushed away Xi Yu's hand that was poking his cheek and said in a muffled voice: "Xi Yu, that's enough. If you keep talking, I'll--"

"I'll get angry if you say that again." Xi Yu imitated Su Ye's unique floating voice.

"." Su Ye was interrupted and blinked in frustration, "Why are you so childish?"

Xi Yu nodded confidently, "Brother is right, I am just childish."

Su Ye admired Xi Yu very much. Xi Yu was always willful and casual, but he was born with the ability to find the right balance so that people would not think he was a scoundrel.

"You're not childish, I think you're cool."

Xi Yu leaned in close, "What, brother, can you say it again?"

Su Ye finally couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xi Yu's fingers, "I said, you are a cool kid."

After finishing speaking, Su Ye wrapped himself in the quilt again and whispered, "I felt this way when I first saw you."

Xi Yu suddenly became interested, "Really? I thought you found me annoying when you first met me."

Xi Yu and Su Ye met for the first time at the gate of Xingli’s company. The sun was shining brightly and Xi Yu extended his hand to Su Ye.

"No, I don't find you annoying."
Su Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled slowly.

At that time, he and An Sijia Jiang came out from Feng to greet the new teammates. When they walked out of the company gate, they saw a boy with short black hair, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and carrying a guitar leaning against a Cayenne and adjusting his cuffs in the rearview mirror of the Cayenne.

"I was thinking, wow, a rich second generation."
Su Ye couldn't help laughing.

Xi Yu immediately opened his mouth, "Then you said you don't find me annoying, doesn't that already give people a negative impression?"

"No." Su Ye retorted, "I don't think rich second generation is a derogatory term, and this is just my first objective impression of you."

Su Ye seemed to be worried that Xi Yu might misunderstand, so he explained it again carefully.
"Like if I see a puppy on the street, I'm like, 'Wow, that's a puppy.'"

Xi Yu curled her lips, "So in your eyes, I was no different from the cats, dogs, flowers and plants on the street at that time."

"How could that be?" Su Ye subconsciously refuted, but then he immediately felt that he shouldn't lie, so he admitted guiltily, "Well, that's how it was when I first saw it."
"But it changed quickly." Su Ye added.

Xi Yu hummed, his tone slightly rising, waiting for Su Ye's next recollection.

He found that he really liked listening to Su Ye say these things, just like people always like to ask their loved ones what they think of them.
"When you finished adjusting your cuffs, the car window suddenly opened and a very beautiful woman appeared and asked you if you were mentally ill."

Su Ye felt that Xi Yu, whom he first met in his memory, was so interesting that he couldn't help but smile.

"The one in the car was Sister Xi Niao, right? Then you said, 'Yeah, how did you know?'" Su Ye laughed again, "Then I thought, this kid is really interesting."

Xi Yu recalled what Su Ye said and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Su Ye continued, "At that time, An Sijia complained to me that you must be a tough guy, and Jiang Congfeng nodded beside her."

"What about you?" After each sentence, Xi Yu would ask Su Ye what he thought.

"I just said that." Su Ye curled his eyes, "I think you are a very cool kid."

Xi Yu benefited greatly from these words. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Su Ye speak again.
“But the cool kids’ first impression of me must not be very good, right?”

Xi Yu paused while twisting Su Ye's hair with his fingers, "Where do I get it?"

Su Ye hummed, and glanced at Xi Yu slyly, "Anyway, I can see it."

Xi Yu discovered that Su Ye was really sharp in observing people's words and expressions, but he still decided to try to save his initial impression in Su Ye's mind.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with you, but when I first saw you I thought, this brother is really good at acting."

Su Ye was a little confused.
He could feel that Xi Yu's impression of him at that time was very subtle, but he didn't expect it to be an evaluation like "good actor".

Xi Yu continued to play with Su Ye's hair, "For example, although he was quite absent-minded towards the new members, he still pretended to be generous and gentle. In fact, who knows where his mind was flying."

Su Ye touched the tip of his nose and honestly did not refute this statement.

When Su Ye saw Xi Yu, his thoughts changed from "Wow, a rich second-generation" to "Wow, what a cool kid." Then, as he caught a glimpse of the bright sun, he started to think again, "Wow, what a big sun."

Finally, I spotted the newly opened dessert shop across the street. “Wow, what a cute sign.”

Su Ye couldn't help but rub the pillow and admitted in a low voice.

"Well, that's true, so when you walked towards me past An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng, I was thinking, 'Hey, what is he doing here?'"

Xi Yu whispered, "So I was attracted to you at that time."

Su Ye seemed a little embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Xi Yu once thought that he felt Su Ye was too absent-minded, which aroused his strange desire to win, so he took the first step towards Su Ye.
But the truth is, he wanted to get past those unnecessary things, get into Su Ye's eyes, and become the only one who could catch Su Ye's full attention.

"So that's it." Xi Yu stared at Su Ye with a smile, "In fact, in a sense, we are both very arrogant people."

"Did I?" It was the first time Su Ye received such an evaluation. He thought about it with some confusion, but he had to admit that Xi Yu was right. "Okay, um. I admit it."

After Su Ye finished speaking in a low voice, he was quiet for a while, and suddenly spoke out as if he remembered something.
"It's past three o'clock, it's time to rest!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Su." Xi Yu lazily sat up from the bed, his lean and tight upper body showing a little mermaid line, "Tomorrow we will promote it, take a day off, and hold a press conference in the evening."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, "Is that so? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Because I told Aunt Ji that we two live together, I will convey that message to you."

Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and his upper body, which had just been propped up, collapsed again.

Xi Yu caught Su Ye before he collapsed, and pulled Su Ye's wrist to force him to sit up.

Su Ye put one hand on Xi Yu's shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Xi Yu smiled innocently, "Shui Shui looks very tired, let me help you clean up."

Su Ye blushed, "No, I can do it myself."

Xi Yu didn't listen to Su Ye and picked up Su Ye's upper body without saying a word.

Su Ye subconsciously wrapped his legs around Xi Yu's waist in panic, and his calves were trembling slightly because he had not fully rested. Fortunately, Xi Yu held him firmly enough so that Su Ye did not slip down.

Su Ye felt very embarrassed, "Why are you holding me like a child? I can walk by myself."

Xi Yu smiled, said nothing, and pretended to be unsteady and swayed for a bit.
Su Ye immediately hugged Xi Yu tightly, and was too distracted to speak again.

The air is thick and hot.

Su Ye finally took the bath he had longed for the past two days but was afraid of wasting time.

"Why does the master bedroom bathroom have floor-to-ceiling windows when it's so big?"

The sunken bathtub designed with black marble is more than enough for two people and is seamlessly connected to the entire floor-to-ceiling window in a very romantic way.
Su Ye took a look when he entered the bathroom and immediately frowned in embarrassment.

The floor-to-ceiling windows are clean and bright, with only one automatic gauze curtain.

Su Ye looked over and found that this suite was right on a cliff. Outside, he could see the dark gray and black mountain faults winding down layer by layer, and at the bottom were the slowly surging waves in the faint moonlight.

This discovery made Su Ye feel a little relieved from his shame, but he soon felt that his bottom line was changing too quickly.

"Can you please move the curtains—"

"No." Xi Yu rejected Su Ye's small request unreasonably and kissed him on the ear again, "Don't you like this scenery?"

Su Ye struggled between novelty and shyness, "I like it, but——"

"Don't worry, this is one-way glass." Xi Yu said softly, "But why are you so shy? Are you acquiescing that I will definitely do something to you?"

Su Ye realized that there was something wrong with his words and he soaked in the warm water without saying anything else.

Xi Yu patiently pulled him over and gently massaged Su Ye's aching thighs and waist. The warm water and Xi Yu's thoughtful care made Su Ye relax. His eyelids began to feel heavy, and he leaned against the side of the bathtub, his head nodding, and the ends of his hair hanging on the water surface were floating in a winding manner.

The huge bathroom fell silent, with only the occasional sound of splashing water.

Su Ye didn't know how many times he was about to slip into a confused dream, but his head suddenly shook, he took a silent deep breath, and woke up in time.

It was very warm beside him. Su Ye found that he had been leaning against the marble countertop, but now he had been leaning next to Xi Yu without knowing when. His head was gently supported by Xi Yu's hand and resting on Xi Yu's shoulder and neck.

Everything around is very quiet.

Su Ye raised his eyes silently.

Xi Yu held him in his arms and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window calmly. His vision was vague and unfocused as he looked at the waves crashing against the cliffs in the moonlight.

Occasionally, when one or two seabirds flew by, Xi Yu's eyes would unconsciously follow those seabirds until the birds flew out of his sight and could no longer be tracked. Only then would he quietly move back and continue to look at the deep sea.

The water vapor wet Xi Yu's black hair a little, and it stuck slightly to the side of his face. He looked handsome, yet with an unconcealable gloom.

Xi Yu did not notice that Su Ye had woken up, and Su Ye did not say anything, staring at Xi Yu's profile quietly and carefully.

When Xi Yu looked at the sea at the bottom, his head would lower slightly, and the angle of his profile at this time looked exactly like the billboard outside Nanshi Airport.

Su Ye remembered that when he first saw the billboard, he was wondering if Xi Yu was staring at something.

Xi Yu was not moving at all now, even his breathing seemed very light, giving Su Ye the opportunity to observe him carefully for the first time in five years.

Xi Yu's eyes were aimless, and he looked a little dazed when he stared at one place for a long time. Only when those seabirds flew across the sky did his dazed eyes have some color.

Su Ye suddenly realized that this was the first time in a few days that he had been able to observe Xi Yu's quiet appearance so carefully.

Because no matter before or after he fell asleep, Xi Yu seemed to be awake, even with his eyes closed.

Su Ye raised his hand and touched the end of Xi Yu's eyebrow.
"Aren't you tired?"

Hearing Su Ye's voice, Xi Yu came back to his senses instantly and smiled, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Su Ye said softly, "Xi Yu, what time do you rest every day?"

The smile on Xi Yu's face did not change.

The water sparkles and flows continuously.
In the faint heat, Su Ye heard Xi Yu's answer through the mist.

"Rest if you feel sleepy, or take a tranquilizer."

Su Ye clenched his other finger suddenly.

But Xi Yu still smiled, "Shui Shui, don't be sad."

Su Ye's teeth clenched, "Is the insomnia serious? When did it start?"

When Su Ye heard An Sijia say that Xi Yu had worked without sleep for a period of time, he had a vague guess.

But after this guess was confirmed, Su Ye found that this made him more sad than if there was something wrong with his own body.

Five years ago, Xi Yu was a very healthy person, young and willful. He would not work too hard on himself and believed in pleasure first and hard work second.

"It started about three or four months after you left."

Xi Yu's voice was calm and objective, like a patient answering a doctor's questions honestly.

In fact, he thought about hiding it from Su Ye, but then he felt that this was not the right thing to do.
Xi Yu didn't want to hide anything from Su Ye anymore.

Su Ye thought quickly.

Three or four months. Judging from the short verification messages sent by Xi Yu, it probably started after Xi Yu and Su Lan met.
After questioning Su Ye whether he did not deserve an explanation, he began to suffer from insomnia.

Su Ye exhaled, and the air flow made a trembling sound as it passed through his throat.
"What is the reason? Is it physiological insomnia?"

Su Ye controlled his voice from shaking, because he understood Xi Yu's eyes, which showed that he didn't want to make him sad.

"I don't know." Xi Yu said casually, as if chatting, "Maybe I slept too much at the beginning, and then I was busy with work, so I suffered from insomnia."

Su Ye was eager to know the things he had never known, "Sleep too much?"

"Yeah." Xi Yu nodded. "During the first few months after you left, I stayed at home and slept every day."

Xi Niao failed to get through to Xi Yu on the phone several times, and thought that something had happened to Xi Yu due to his impulsiveness. So he went to Xi Yu's residence and finally knocked on the door, only to find that Xi Yu was really sleeping soundly, that's all.

"I quit Oril later, partly because I was too lazy to practice." Xi Yu laughed, "I just wanted to sleep."

Each of the four members of Oril was a big moneymaker at the time. After Su Ye left, Xingli could not easily let Xi Yu go. It was because they later saw that Xi Yu was too passive and negligent, which had exceeded their tolerance limit, so they reached an agreement with Xi Yu to leave the group on his own.

"Why?" Su Ye's voice was a little anxious, "Are you too tired?"

Xi Yu calmly shook his head, "No, I'm not tired, I just want to sleep a little longer."

Su Ye's heart tightened and he bit and rubbed the soft flesh inside his lips.
"Sleeping too long is also bad for your health."

"I know." Xi Yu replied softly, "But I still want to sleep a little longer so that I can dream more."

The pair of dark peach blossom eyes turned around, with eyelashes drooping slightly due to mist, and looked at Su Ye with a kind of persistence that was difficult to describe.
"That way, I can see you in my dreams."

Su Ye suddenly grabbed Xi Yu's wrist, unable to make a sound, and continued to listen to Xi Yu's scattered and erratic memories.

"It was very useful at the beginning. Maybe it's because whatever I think about during the day will appear in my dreams at night. Basically, whenever I dream, it's always you in my dreams."

Xi Yu slowly recalled the days when his days and nights were reversed and he could not distinguish between dreams and reality after waking up.
"Then it stopped working. I couldn't dream anymore."

Xi Yu's eyes dropped slightly and fell on the mole at the end of Su Ye's eyebrow.

His voice became very low, like a child who had lost his candy.
"Because I couldn't sleep anymore."

Su Ye felt that his heart was being clenched tightly, and he was overwhelmed by uncontrollable emotions because of Xi Yu's words.

After a while, Su Ye tried hard to speak.
"You know, I was abroad at the time, and a local girl told me a legend."

Xi Yu nodded patiently, "Hmm?"

Su Ye took a deep breath.
"She said that if the person you miss is also missing you, you will meet each other in your dreams."

Xi Yu raised his slightly drooping eyes.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the sound of waves crashing against the foot of the mountain could be faintly heard.

After a while, Xi Yu smiled.

"No wonder I had to sleep for a long time during the day." Xi Yu held Su Ye's hand tightly, "Because dreams also have time differences, right?"

While Su Ye was lighting the lamp in the dark, Xi Yu was waiting at the window to welcome the dawn.

"Yes." Su Ye nodded vigorously, "That's right, it must be like this."

"That feels great." Xi Yu whispered, touching Su Ye's face and wanting to kiss him.

But Su Ye pulled Xi Yu's hand down, held it in his own hand, and asked again seriously.
"What happened next? After you couldn't sleep, did you go to the doctor?"

Xi Yu had no choice but to answer honestly, "I didn't go to see it at first because I was busy with work, and it's a good thing to have shorter sleep time."

Su Ye said anxiously: "How can this be possible? If my body is worn out, I won't be able to carry out my work smoothly. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Xi Yu shook his head slowly, "No, I can't wait that long."

Su Ye didn't understand.

"The year after you left, the billboard at Nanshi Airport was replaced." Xi Yu lowered his head. "That's the place with the most traffic in Nanshi. Everyone who returns to Nanshi will see this billboard."

Su Ye calmed down.
He understood what Xi Yu meant.

"I want to achieve results as soon as possible, get the award, and continue at the end of the year."

That billboard is the best public graphic resource in Nanshi, bar none.
To get there, one must have extraordinary works and achievements.

For five consecutive years, the face on this billboard was Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's tone suddenly became a little embarrassed, with a very immature expression that Su Ye had never seen before.
"This way, when you come back, you'll see me first, and you won't be able to forget me even if you want to."

He added, his tone a little more domineering, as if to hide his embarrassment, "You can see my face and hear my name wherever you go."

Su Ye stared at Xi Yu for a long time.

Unlike his usual willful and flamboyant attitude, Xi Yu had a hint of uncertainty on his face when he said this, which was completely different from his previous fearless look.

".Pfft." Su Ye suddenly laughed with his eyes curved, "Teacher Xi is really childish."

Before Xi Yu could react, Su Ye's fingers touched Xi Yu's shoulders inch by inch, and half of his body broke out of the water, with water droplets rolling down his snow-white skin.

He leaned close to Xi Yu's ear, so close that his soft lips could touch the two black and gold rings on Xi Yu's ear bones.
It was icy cold and quickly became scalding hot.

"But I love it."

Xi Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ye beside him, "Teacher Su must like it."

The moonlight shines softly, revealing the pearls in the clams.

Su Ye could clearly see the waves crashing against the cliffs one after another. They were invisible and soft, but they surged with strong force the moment they rushed past.

His elbows were pressed tightly against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window. The cold temperature of the night seeped through the glass, but was blocked by the hotter temperature, and faint mist seeped out around the snow-white arms that were softly pressing against the glass.

Su Ye thought again of what he saw at home that night, the fine snow falling in the night sky.
It hit the glass window again and again.

Exactly the same as he is now.

But the difference is that the fine snow flutters slowly, and even if it hits the glass, it cannot make any big noise.

He was the complete opposite.

In a trance, Su Ye felt like uncontrollable snow, or like a piece of ice held in someone's palm. Under Xi Yu's gentle words and fierce actions, he melted into a pool of water, flowing along the crystal glass into the steam-filled bath.

"Shui Shui, the scenery here is really beautiful, right? I didn't lie to you this time."

Su Ye frowned pitifully, with his palm against the floor-to-ceiling window. The scenery that he had not seen clearly before was magnified in front of his eyes with incredible clarity behind the fog.

But his vision was shaking and blurry, and he could only vaguely see the white waves, the flying seabirds, and the cold and sharp cliffs.

".Yeah, it looks good."

Su Ye tried hard to utter two words, and the next second, his red shoulder blade hit the misty glass window again.

He felt like he was really melting. His aching legs made him kneel down for the umpteenth time, only to be mercilessly lifted up again.

The scars that Su Ye had caused by pinching and twisting himself had long since become insignificant.

Xi Yu stuck close to Su Ye, put one hand around Su Ye's neck and lifted Su Ye's chin, and Su Ye's head turned towards Xi Yu uncontrollably.

That pretty face was hidden by her messy long hair, her brows were furrowed sadly, and the seductive mole at the corner of her eye was revealed as her long hair swayed.

But comparing the two, the red at the corner of Su Ye's eyes is better.

Su Ye's long eyelashes were wet, and she couldn't tell whether it was due to moisture or some other reason.

But Su Ye bit her lip and restrained herself. Apart from the sticky sound of water and the uncontrollable ethereal voice, she did not let the tears cover her vision.

Xi Yu found it difficult to suppress the feeling of excitement that only Su Ye could arouse.

He lowered his head and covered Su Ye's slightly open mouth as he gasped for breath, and bit the tip of Su Ye's tongue with his canine teeth neither lightly nor heavily.
"Shui Shui really doesn't cry at all."
