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

Su Lan was always worried about Su Ye and Xi Yu hanging out outside without their agent, so after hanging up the phone she sent them a message asking them to come back as soon as possible.

Xi Yu was still driving, and Su Ye was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling the sore muscles on his inner thighs.

When the car started, Su Ye looked out of the car window and saw the glass window against the top of the camphor tree.

It was completely different from what I had seen before. The dark blue hairband used to tie the curtains was torn open, and the curtains were messy, covering most of the window, leaving only a small gap that reflected the sunlight.

The sunlight was bright enough to reflect a blurry and messy patch of light marks on the glass, as if it had been wiped roughly with a wet towel, leaving behind those misty dried water marks.

Su Ye even had the illusion that he could tell which one was his own handprint.

He turned his head away and didn't look again.
"I thought the house had been sublet."

When she just returned to China, Su Lan asked Su Ye if he had arranged accommodation. She mentioned this casually at that time.

Su Ye turned his head to look at Xi Yu's profile. A little sunlight was shining on it, and the edges of his black hair showed some dark brown, making him look very warm.

"The landlord here is very difficult to talk to." Xi Yu held the steering wheel, speaking casually, as if he was talking about an interesting thing in the past, "Xiao Yang talked a lot before the landlord agreed to sell the house to me.

Su Ye pursed her lips and wanted to touch Xi Yu's wrist, but when she stretched out her hand, she realized that the car was still moving.

The hand was suspended in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.

Although Xi Yu was talking, his eyes were fixed on the road ahead. Su Ye did not say a word and quietly withdrew his hand.
It shrank halfway and was firmly grasped by Xi Yu's free right hand.

The light at the intersection happened to be red, and the car stopped. Su Ye saw Xi Yu turning around, and his face was handsome in the sunlight.

"I'm worried that you won't be able to find me when you come back. If I buy the house, maybe you'll come by one day and see the hairband, and you'll know that I'm still here waiting for you."

Su Ye was unable to utter a word. Xi Yu grabbed his hand and shook it like Su Ye usually did to coax people.
However, his smile was evil, and he seemed to be teasing Su Ye on purpose, but every word he said came from his heart.

"And this way, I can leave a little trace of you."

Xi Yu played with Su Ye's fingers, stepping on Su Ye's soft heart, and every word he said made Su Ye's eyes melt.
"I'm so miserable, Shui Shui, please be more compassionate to me."

"Okay, I--" Su Ye responded almost immediately, wanting to take advantage of the red light to give Xi Yu a hug.

But the seat belt was fastened, and when Su Ye moved, he felt discomfort at the base of his thigh. His brows immediately frowned, and he could not help but let out a hiss.

The light turned green, and Xi Yu smiled like an unscrupulous thief.
"I forgot, it's Teacher Su who is in more pain now."

After saying this, Xi Yu received a slap on the shoulder from Su Ye, neither light nor heavy.

"The two brothers are back!"
Shen Meng, who was wandering in front of the video doorbell, saw Su Ye and Xi Yu, and immediately turned around to report to Su Lan.

Xi Yu succeeded in playing the victim and followed Su Ye into the house openly.
"excuse me."

Su Lan didn't expect Xi Yu to come along, so she acted like a boss and elder and entertained him in a formal manner. After confirming that there was no problem with the two people's schedule last night, she let Su Ye and Xi Yu go.

Su Ye sat on the sofa in a well-behaved posture. He nodded every time Su Lan said something.

"If Director Ji's crew has other plans, we'll let you know. Xiaoye, what's wrong with you?"

Su Ye immediately looked up and smiled softly, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Lidya Su was very perceptive, but only to a certain extent. "Where did you go yesterday? Are you tired?"

Su Ye opened his mouth, but before he could find an excuse, a hand was placed on his shoulder and Xi Yu's voice came from beside him.
"I stayed up late last night, it's no big deal, don't worry Aunt Su."

Su Ye's face felt hot.
It wasn't just that I stayed up for a while, I didn't sleep at all almost the entire night.

Xi Yu's smile was very serious. Su Lan didn't notice anything. She nodded, talked about something else, and then went back to the company with her bag.

Su Ye had already returned home, so Shen Meng didn't need to follow him any longer. He followed Su Lan closely, looking back every few steps as he left.
Su Ye avoided Shen Meng's gaze and pretended not to see it.

Only Xiao Yang was left. Xiao Yang glanced at Xi Yu and said, "Brother, I——"

Xi Yu answered quickly, "Okay, I got it, go ahead and do your work."

"." Xiao Yang nodded resignedly and left, "Brother, remember to contact me if you have any questions."

The whole house suddenly became much quieter.

Su Ye glanced at Xi Yu and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you chasing people away so quickly?"

Xi Yu had spontaneously stood up from the sofa and was walking around the room that Su Lan had arranged for Su Ye, making critical comments.

“The balcony is too small.”
"Sunshine. That's it."
"There are only two guest rooms?"

Xi Yu saw the piano next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, with honey-colored sunlight flowing on the mahogany.
“The piano is nice.”

He took one last look around.

The living room is decorated in a minimalist Nordic style, with colors such as pure white and light beige everywhere. The style matches Su Ye very well, but such a big house does not have many places that can reflect the atmosphere of life. It looks like an exquisite model room.

Xi Yu finally gave a summary of his evaluation: "Too little stuff."

Su Ye walked to his side with a smile and hooked Xi Yu's fingers with her five fingers, "Really? I think it's fine."

Xi Yu was still very picky, like a strict designer, "It's almost there."

"Oh." Su Ye responded lightly, with a smile on his face, "I see."

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows, "Know what?"

Su Ye waved at him, and Xi Yu bowed his head slightly like a gentleman.

There was a soft touch on the side of his face. Su Ye quickly kissed Xi Yu and then whispered in Xi Yu's ear.
"Miss you."

The usual casual smile on Xi Yu's face paused for a moment.

Su Ye still held his hand, as if nothing had happened, humming an unknown tune softly.

Xi Yu felt the warmth on his face and slowly came back to his senses. "Teacher Su is quite good at chasing people."

Su Ye didn't look at Xi Yu, but he shook his head for a rare moment, with a slightly happy look on his face.

"Let me play a song for you." Su Ye suddenly said.

Xi Yu had seen the piano for a long time. Hearing this, he leaned against the piano and said happily, "Okay, what do you want to play?"

Su Ye sat down, opened the piano lid, stretched out his ten fingers out of habit, and placed them on the distinct black and white keys.

He did not answer Xi Yu's question. After taking a deep breath, he started playing the piano fluently.

The extremely familiar melody flowed out, accompanied by the soft afternoon sunshine, and leaped into Xi Yu's ears.

Xi Yu rested his elbow on the piano lid and could even feel the vibration inside this sophisticated and classical instrument when it was played.
It reminded him of Su Ye’s unusual breathing.

The light and pure notes, together with Su Ye's slightly swaying hair, formed an extremely unique hazy atmosphere, lively, yet elegant.

When the song ended, Su Ye stopped playing and began to feel a little nervous and embarrassed.
He hasn't practiced the piano much recently, so I wonder how he plays this piece.

But after being nervous, Su Ye found that he was not nervous when playing the piano in front of Su Lan, nor was he nervous when playing the piano on the live variety show of Little Monster. Only in front of Xi Yu would he produce many immature and sensitive emotions.

"Rachmaninov, Lilacs."
Suddenly, Xi Yu spoke.

Su Ye looked up at Xi Yu, "Actually I wanted to buy a bunch of lilacs for you, but it's not convenient on the way back, so I can only play a song instead."

Xi Yu stood in front of Su Ye with a gentle expression, "Why do you want to buy flowers for me?"

Su Ye fiddled with the piano keys.
"Because I want to pursue you."

Su Ye's speech slowed down, and Xi Yu could hear Su Ye's shyness, but his words were very clear.
"When we first got together, you bought me a bunch of lilacs. I remember it very clearly."

"So..." Su Ye paused and looked up into Xi Yu's eyes, "I also want to give you a bouquet of lilacs to tell you that I really, really like you."

Xi Yu felt that his heart was constantly being knocked, and the lingering sound continued.
He spoke unconsciously, "Shui Shui, you really..."

Su Ye is like a wonderful creature that perfectly blends innocence and charm.

Xi Yu wondered how Su Ye could be so charming and open to him one day, and then shyly confess her feelings like a boy who had just fallen in love the next day.

Su Ye is really good at controlling people.
And it happened unconsciously.

Su Ye was probably born to control him.

".What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
When Su Ye heard Xi Yu's voice, he became nervous again. He felt a little flustered and waited anxiously for his lover's reply.

He habitually clasped his hands together and placed them on his knees, his cheeks slightly red, but he still looked at Xi Yu bravely.

"You really do." Xi Yu rarely encountered a situation where he could not come up with the right words. He could only squat down in front of Su Ye and look into those shy eyes.

"Su Ye."

Su Ye straightened his waist and nodded solemnly, "Hmm?"

Xi Yu rubbed the tip of his tongue and said, "You must never treat others like this in the future."

Otherwise, if one comes, they will be confused, and if a pair comes, they will be confused as a pair.
Xi Yu's sense of crisis rapidly increased.

His eyes traced Su Ye's face.

There is no doubt that Su Ye is very beautiful, elegant and pretty.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a very good temper and rarely gets angry. Even if she gets angry, she will just scratch him like a cat and say some cute things without realizing it.

It's fine if he has a good temper, but he's also so good at——

Xi Yu always thought that Su Ye was excellent, but he had never felt as he did today when he discovered that Su Ye had so many charming qualities that he couldn't even praise her enough.
He couldn't even hold it, what would he do if someone else saw it.

Su Ye is so nice, who can not like him?

Xi Yu's thoughts were endlessly divergent, and he even thought about the things that happened during his time in the group.

Not to mention Jiang Congfeng, the little brat's thoughts were obvious to him, but he just didn't show anything in front of Su Ye.
But if you think about it carefully, An Sijia is the same. The elementary school-like rivalries among them have never been brought to Su Ye. She almost subconsciously has a spontaneous desire to protect Su Ye.

That’s why Su Ye had never noticed these things, and was so surprised when he mentioned them before.

"Not for An Sijia." Xi Yu said word by word.

Su Ye was a little stunned, "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Xi Yu ignored it and continued speaking.

"It's even worse for Jiang Congfeng."
"You are not allowed to do this to the assistant either."
"Neither can Aunt Su."

Xi Yu thought about it for a long time, thinking about Liu Yijiajia who came out to pick up Su Ye with an umbrella on a snowy day, Ding Hewan who took good care of Su Ye on Haijie, Ding Tiantian who held a rose lollipop and said seriously "Brother Su Ye is very sad", and Xiaofeng who shouted "handsome brother".

More and more names popped out of his mouth.

Su Ye was confused at first, but slowly his eyes couldn't help but bend. He looked at Xi Yu, who was squatting in front of him stubbornly and seriously, and smiled softly.

Xi Yu thought that having too good a temper was not necessarily a good thing sometimes.
"And Louie, not Louie either."

Su Ye laughed softly, "Why did you mention Louie? He's only a few years old." Xi Yu blurted out, "You can't keep calling him 'baby' and 'miss you' and ask him to find his own parents——"

Xi Yu's voice suddenly paused and he met Su Ye's soft and smiling eyes.

"Huh? What are you looking for your own parents for?"
Su Ye said softly, as if urging Xi Yu to continue.

Xi Yu immediately changed the subject and stopped mentioning Louie.

Su Ye listened gently and seriously, and nodded slightly after Xi Yu finished speaking.
"So you heard it all."

Xi Yumin responded, "What?"

Su Ye bent his index finger and pushed the loose hair behind his ear. His voice was as ethereal and pleasant as usual.
"I called Louie."

Perhaps Xi Yu had something wrong, and the ethereal and pleasant voice quietly changed its meaning in his ears. Su Ye's habitually elongated ending tone seemed to be meaningful, and the words uttered by Su Ye were vaguely mysterious.

Xi Yu had a quick mind and an even quicker mouth. "Yes, isn't this one of the highlights of the finale?"

"Is that so?" Su Ye nodded slightly, as if accepting Xi Yu's statement.

Xi Yu breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, "Anyway——"

"Xi Yu, you are so stupid."

Su Ye laughed cheerfully, resting his forehead against Xi Yu's, his eyes happy and gentle.
"Why would I do this to other people? I'm pursuing you and I will only do this to you."

Su Ye quietly said sorry to the others in his heart and continued speaking.

"Sijia and Congfeng are good friends, Sister Hewan and Sister Yijia are seniors, and Tiantian, Xiaofeng and Louie are lovely younger brothers and sisters."
"You are different from them. You are the one I like."

The tips of their noses were about to touch. This was a very familiar angle. When Su Ye was on a variety show for children, she was once dragged and pressed against him by a young kid like this.
"Also, when Louie asked me who I thought was the cutest, I told him that he was cute, but there was only one person who was the cutest in my heart."

Xi Yu stared at Su Ye closely, "Really?"

Su Ye rubbed Xi Yu's forehead, nodded up and down, and his smile was about to overflow.
“Yes, you probably didn’t hear that.”

Xi Yu thought about it and felt that this sentence from the phone call between Su Ye and Louie should have been included in the essence version.
So he responded, “I heard you.”

Su Ye opened his eyes slightly in surprise, but then he smiled again, "Is that so."

Xi Yu could no longer hold back, so he grabbed Su Ye's wrist and pulled him off the piano stool.

Su Ye suddenly buried her head in Xi Yu's arms. As soon as she sat up straight, Xi Yu held the back of her neck and kissed her.

Xi Yu lowered his eyes and passed over those topics, sucking Su Ye's soft lips vaguely, making a slight sound of water. It seemed a bit over the line in the sunny afternoon, but it was irresistible.
"Shuishui, why are you so good at provoking me?"

Su Ye was released only after being kissed until she was almost breathless. Her eyes were filled with confusion and her lips were a little bloodshot, which was much better than the effect of secretly applying lipstick.

Xi Yu stretched out his hand with satisfaction, and used his fingers to brush away the crystal clear water threads from Su Ye's lips, rubbing the blood color of Su Ye's lower lip even darker.

"Xi Yu, you."
Su Ye knelt on the ground, hooked the hair between his lips and teeth with his fingers, and looked at Xi Yu with an annoyed expression.

Xi Yu sat in front of Su Ye, supporting himself with one hand behind his back and the other hand on his bent knee, laughing unrestrainedly.
"Shui Shui, do you know why I gave you lilacs the day I confessed to you?

Su Ye stopped moving, supported himself on the floor with his hands, and knelt with his knees bent. His body involuntarily leaned towards Xi Yu, as if he was being seduced, but he knew nothing about it.
"why?"

Xi Yu touched Su Ye's hair and tangled it around his fingertips.
"Do you remember when I first joined the group, I went to find you once and deliberately mispronounced your name?"

Su Ye nodded, "I remember." At that moment, he felt that this cool kid was not so cool anymore, and was a little annoying.

Xi Yu continued, "You entered the piano room at 9:30 that day, practiced Scriabin for a while, then played the Well-Tempered Clavier for about half an hour, then was in a daze for a few minutes, and then started playing Rachmaninoff's Lilacs, which you played twice."

To be precise, it should be three times, but Xi Yu pushed the door open when Su Ye started playing the third time, interrupting Su Ye's playing.

Su Ye's heartbeat slowed down as he listened to Xi Yu's words.
"how do you know"

Su Ye remembered that before entering the piano room that day, the corridor outside the practice room was very quiet, without anyone around. He did not hear any noise while practicing freely, everything was silent.

Xi Yu smiled and said, "I was outside after you went in, and I was listening to you playing the piano."

He was idle that day and had nothing to do. He was too lazy to look at Jiang Congfeng's long face. He suddenly thought of the handsome brother who had been absent-minded all the time, and unconsciously went to one practice room after another.

Then, I finally saw Su Ye outside the piano room.

Su Ye, who always has a gentle poker face, looks very different when sitting in front of the piano.
It can't be said to be fully focused, but it is a very relaxed state.

Very beautiful, very charming.

Xi Yu couldn't help but stand outside the door and listen quietly for nearly two hours.
Until I couldn't help myself and pushed open the door of the piano room.

Su Ye was very surprised, "Why didn't you call me?"

"I want to look at you for a while longer." Xi Yu stroked the ends of Su Ye's hair, "You are so beautiful, I can't get enough of you."

Su Ye's face turned slightly red.
After a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can you play the piano too?"

The Well-Tempered Clavier is okay, but Scriabin and Rachmaninoff are a bit unpopular for ordinary people who are not professionals or enthusiasts.

Xi Yu suddenly curled his lips uncomfortably and said nothing.

Su Ye's curiosity was aroused at once, and he leaned over like a quietly crawling cat.

"I learned it for a while when I was a child, but my level was very amateur, not very professional," Xi Yu replied.

Su Ye exclaimed, "Ah," "No wonder."

But Su Ye was still a little confused.

Xi Yu seemed to see through Su Ye's confusion and spoke again, but he smacked his tongue unconsciously when he opened his mouth.
"I recorded it."

Su Ye didn't understand what he meant, "What?"

"I recorded it outside when you were playing the piano."

Xi Yu felt somewhat familiar with Scriabin's music, but was not quite sure.

He didn't know why he recorded the video. He had always been a high-profile person since he was a child and had never done such a sneaky thing.
In fact, he could just open the door and ask Su Ye, and Su Ye would not refuse to tell him.

But Xi Yu still secretly recorded it, and it, along with that irresistible morning, became a secret known only to him.
"I checked it out after I got home and confirmed it was Scriabin."

Su Ye didn't say anything. After a moment, Xi Yu heard Su Ye's very light laughter, like a feather, falling leisurely.

Xi Yu moved, a little restrained in a rare moment, "The last song, Lilac, I heard someone play it when I was learning the piano as a child, I really liked it."

Su Ye nodded, "Is that so."

"Well, so later when you promised me to confess your love, I found a way to buy a bunch of lilacs."

Xi Yu raised his eyes and looked at Su Ye directly.
"Because that was my first time falling in love with you."

Su Ye's heart pounded when he saw Xi Yu's eyes.

Su Ye suddenly felt an impulse. He grabbed Xi Yu's hand and pressed it against his chest.
"Did you hear that?"

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his peach blossom eyes lit up and became frighteningly hot.
"heartbeat."

Su Ye lowered his head and looked at Xi Yu's hand pressing on his chest.
"Did I tell you once that a drum beat that's close to your heartbeat can give you the illusion of your heart beating fast?"

Xi Yu remembered what Su Ye said. At that time, Su Ye lowered his head, so people couldn't see his expression clearly.
Same as now.

But the only difference was that now Xi Yu saw the tip of Su Ye's ears turned red.

"There is no music or drum beats now, but my heart is still beating fast." Su Ye murmured softly, "Xi Yu, why do you think this is happening?"

Xi Yu moved forward, and as the distance was closer, he lowered his voice involuntarily.
"why?"

At the same time Xi Yu spoke, he felt that Su Ye's heartbeat seemed to be heavier than usual for a moment.

"Because you're talking."
Su Ye still held Xi Yu's hand and did not let go.

"Because you are looking at me, touching me, and being close to me."
"Because Xi Yu is right in front of me, I am very excited."

Su Ye was extremely shy.
"I always had too many concerns at that time and didn't dare to say it out loud. I don't know if it's too late to tell you now that I have always liked you."

Xi Yu directly proved one thing with his actions.

Su Ye was hugged into his arms, and the two were very close.
The intense heartbeats overlapped.

Xi Yu's voice rang out.
"Shuishui, I may be different from you."

Su Ye was in his arms, listening quietly.

"I have always been outspoken since I was a child. I have never encountered any difficult things. I do whatever I think of immediately and never worry too much."
"The only toughest thing I've ever had to deal with was you."

Xi Yu recalled his unbridled, arrogant yet smooth life, and things began to change the moment he met Su Ye.
"I will be moved because of you, and sad because of you."

"Shuishui, you may not know how amazing you are." Xi Yu laughed at himself, "I never try to empathize with others, but you are the only one. Many of your things make me feel worse than you do."
"I want to know your heart, your emotions, and I don't want to miss anything about you."

Su Ye patted him gently.

"At the press conference that day, I was really angry, but also scared. The lights were too bright, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it and would collapse. I didn't want to lose you again."
"When I heard you apologize, I felt like my emotions were going to explode."

Su Ye didn't need to do this. Xi Yu always felt that the only reason for Su Ye to stand on the stage was to accept cheers and blessings, rather than lowering his head and apologizing for the past that Su Ye didn't need to bear.

"Later, Aunt Ji gave you that invitation. I was very nervous and worried whether you would respond."
Xi Yu said word by word, "I actually received Director Kong Wenyan's invitation, but I didn't want to tell you. I don't want my own actions to affect your judgment."

"Impossible." Su Ye said abruptly, "Your existence itself will affect my judgment."

Xi Yu's emotions gradually calmed down, but he heard Su Ye speak softly again.
"I like you so much, I can't help it."

"." Xi Yu closed his eyes and laughed, "Sometimes I really don't know who is taking care of whom between us."

Su Ye might seem to be the weaker one, the one who needs care, but only Xi Yu knows that the sense of security he seeks from Su Ye is just as great.

Su Ye gave him a lot.
This is the kind of gentleness that only Su Ye has, a gentleness that moistens everything silently.

"Actually, I've thought about that script." Su Ye patted Xi Yu and said, "When Director Ji first mentioned it, I was a little resistant."

Su Ye didn't want to mention the past, so it was impossible for him to say that he didn't resist.

"But I also understand that some things cannot be solved by avoiding them, which will cause big problems, so I want to give it a try this time, maybe I can remember some things from the past."

Su Ye rested his chin on Xi Yu's shoulder and lowered his voice, "As for Lin He's matter, I know my memory may be the key."

Xi Yu hugged Su Ye tightly.
Su Ye is really smart, not stupid at all.

"Besides," Su Ye said in a very low voice, "I want to be braver this time since you are by my side."

"Yes, I'm with you this time." Xi Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, "So try to trust me a little more, rely on me a little more, and don't hide it all by yourself, okay?"

Su Ye nodded seriously.
"Okay, I promise you."
