The pale moonlight flowed gently. Su Ye stood on the other side of the corridor, with unspeakable emotions swelling in his chest, as if his heart was about to burst and produce a large piece of gorgeous flowers.

His heart beat so fast that Su Ye even felt a faint sense of suffocation. But this suffocation was different from an asthma attack. It was like something that was about to break out of the ground, noisily stirring in his body.

The black cat that disappeared in the moonlight reappeared, leaping lightly and silently onto the window sill of the apartment corridor. Its pair of red-gold eyes silently stared at the two people who were only a few steps apart in the corridor.

"Xi Yu?"
Su Ye murmured, and his hand hanging by his leg reflexively twisted his thigh to make himself sure whether this was a dream.

His eyes repeatedly lingered on the imageless man sitting against the door.

Xi Yu leaned against the slightly old door with his back slightly bent, his head lowered, one hand holding an amber wine bottle, his wrist resting on his bent knees, like a drunkard who had collapsed in front of the door.

The black cashmere coat he was wearing hung on the ground, covered in dust. Even the ends of his hair were covered in spider webs from somewhere, making him look extremely shabby.

Su Ye moved and walked towards Xi Yu.
Xi Yu is flamboyant and dazzling. In Su Ye's impression, he has never seen Xi Yu behave so out of control.

Hearing Su Ye's voice and footsteps, Xi Yu, who had his head down, moved, and the sound of glass bottles clinking was heard in the empty and silent corridor.

The black cat that was resting on the window sill was frightened. It hissed and anxiously jumped onto the distant stair railing.

Xi Yu grabbed the wine bottle, leaned on the ground, and propped up his body which was slumped on the ground in a humiliating manner. He looked up at the person walking towards him at the other end of the corridor.

Her long, light flaxen hair was tied behind her head, and under the moonlight it turned into a color between silver-gray and light gold, making her look as beautiful and holy as a deity.

This apartment is full of humanistic and historical charm. Xi Yu was confused, and the sight of Su Ye walking over was slowed down. In Xi Yu's eyes, it was like a scene in a dream, without any sense of reality.

Su Ye walked closer and finally smelled a hint of bitter orange aroma under the strong smell of alcohol.

He reached out his hand, suppressed his pounding heart, and supported Xi Yu who stood up against the wall, "Xi Yu, why are you——"

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ye's arm was grabbed by Xi Yu and pulled over.

Su Ye didn't stand firmly, his body swayed, and his elbow pressed on the mistletoe, and the sound of the small golden bell continued to linger.

Xi Yu threw the wine bottle in his hand, and it shattered on the ground with a clang, with the edges wrapped in quiet moonlight.

The light reflected from the broken glass shone on Su Ye's face, making Su Ye look more like an illusory figure in a dream.

"Su Ye, why are you leaving?"
Xi Yu raised his eyes, and the red eye sockets and bloodshot at the edges made Su Ye's heart shrink violently.

Su Ye's arm was grabbed so hard by Xi Yu that it hurt.
"Xi Yu, how much have you drunk? Come with me into the house first—"

Su Ye passed Xi Yu, grabbed the key, and stretched out his hand to open the door, but before he could touch the keyhole, Xi Yu pulled his hand back roughly. Su Ye staggered and almost fell.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me? I'll be back soon."
Xi Yu's voice was low and hoarse. Because he drank too much, it sounded grainy and made people's scalps tingle.

Su Ye stood firm, clenched his five fingers holding the key tightly together, and even dared not look Xi Yu in the eye.
"Sorry, I--"

"Don't say you're sorry."
Xi Yu interrupted Su Ye's words in a frenzy.

He repeated it over and over again, and the sound was like a hammer, constantly hitting Su Ye's heart.
"I told you, wait for me, I'll be right back."

Xi Yu's eyes were still handsome, and the look in his eyes made Su Ye breathless.

Su Ye felt that his wrist was about to be broken by Xi Yu's bare hands.

"Su Ye, I told you to wait for me. I'll buy some medicine and come back to see you soon."

After listening to this, Su Ye gradually became stunned and looked up at Xi Yu's face.

Xi Yu's black hair was originally very beautiful, slightly curled but not too messy.
But at this time, the loose hair on the forehead hung down, wet by the melted snow and mist, blocking Xi Yu's gloomy eyes, with a little light shining at the ends of the hair.

"I sent you a text message and told you that I was on my way and would be back soon. Why didn't you wait for me for even one more second?"
"I was driving, and you were on my mind all the way. I was worried that you were not feeling well, that your cold would get worse if you didn't take your medicine in time, and that you would fall asleep with the windows open again."
"But Su Ye, where are you?"

Xi Yu's fingers slowly moved from Su Ye's wrist to Su Ye's shoulder and grabbed it tightly, squeezing out a few strands of light flaxen hair from between his fingers.

Xi Yu's voice suddenly became heavier.
"The bedroom door was open, the clothes and quilt were all there, nothing was taken, only a key was left behind."

Su Ye felt a chill all over his body and could not say anything. He could only listen to Xi Yu's agitated voice.

"Su Ye, can you please tell me at least once, just one word, don't do this to me, okay?"
Xi Yu's fingertips trembled slightly.

The broken glass on the ground sparkled in Xi Yu's peripheral vision, making him extremely annoyed. He kicked the broken glass away.

"The funniest thing is." Xi Yu smiled without any emotion, "After you left, I was still worried about whether you brought enough clothes, whether you were cold, and whether you remembered to buy medicine and take it."

Su Ye stood quietly in front of him, with his head down, without saying a word, allowing Xi Yu to grab his shoulders, pull and shake him.

Xi Yu finally caught a glimpse of the long hair that was randomly squeezed in his hands, twisted it with his fingertips, and laughed again.

"Why is your hair so light? Did you get it bleached a new color right after you left?"
"Why are your shoulders so thin? Have you lost so much weight?"
"Why don't you wear more clothes? Are you well enough with your cold?"

Xi Yu felt that his consciousness was on a shaky scale, alternating between chaos and mania.

"Xi Yu, you are drunk, come in with me."
Su Ye, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly spoke and grabbed Xi Yu's other hand.

Xi Yu was indeed drunk.

After knowing that Su Ye had left suddenly, he drove directly to the airport. When he passed the toll gate, he remembered that he had no idea where Su Ye had gone.

Xi Yu was anxious and confused and didn't pay much attention. The girl on duty at the toll booth was surprised to see him and asked herself why he had to catch today's flight.

Xi Yu didn't know who she was talking about, but the sudden premonition in his heart forced him to ask more questions.

Then the girl on duty told him that she had seen Su Ye earlier. When paying the bill, the agent who was driving was saying something anxiously. He was so anxious that he even forgot to cover up, so she overheard it even though she didn't want to listen.

The duty officer told Xi Yu a place name, Geneva.

Xi Yu directly booked the nearest flight and flew there. He browsed Weibo and found Su Ye's second account. Following the only photo with a street scene on Su Ye's second account, he took a taxi and went from place to place.

But the photo contained too little information. The streets here were all similar. Xi Yu asked on the street for a long time but still got no results.

Afterwards, he walked into a nearby bar with an expressionless face, sat down and drank bottle after bottle.
He really hated the feeling of having lost all contact with Su Ye and having no clues at all.

By the end of the drinking, Xi Yu was so drunk that he had confused time. He thought he had caught some information about Su Ye five years ago and flew over to look for Su Ye.

"Come inside with me first, okay?"
Su Ye half squatted down, stroked the side of Xi Yu's face, and asked softly.

Su Ye could see that Xi Yu was so drunk that he couldn't tell the time and thought the person standing here was himself five years ago.

"I asked the neighbors if there was a Chinese man living here."
Xi Yu suddenly spoke, reached out and grabbed Su Ye's hand that was touching him, and squeezed it tightly.

"He said yes, but later there was a European man living here too, and when we met once I heard him say something like 'boyfriend'."
Xi Yu held Su Ye tightly, "Who is he, huh?"

Su Ye knew that the neighbor saw Edmund and most likely misunderstood something.

"Xi Yu." Su Ye interrupted Xi Yu's random thoughts, "Come in with me first, and then I'll tell you everything you want to know, okay? Anything is fine."

Su Ye tried to open the door again, but was stopped by Xi Yu.

Xi Yu stared at him intently, "You left without saying a word. Our relationship is still going on, and we haven't broken up yet."

Su Ye's tone became softer.
He leaned over slightly and spoke gently to Xi Yu who was stubbornly standing in front of the door and refused to move.

"Yes, we haven't broken up. I'm pursuing you, Xi Yu."

Xi Yu clenched his back teeth and looked at Su Ye with a strong possessive look, as if he wanted to bite Su Ye into pieces and eat him right there.
"Then tell me, who is that man the neighbor is talking about?"

Su Ye's key was already in the keyhole, but Xi Yu was blocking it, so he failed to open the door.

Xi Yu was stimulated to the extreme by his neighbor's words. He just held Su Ye and waited for Su Ye's answer, as if no one could leave unless Su Ye explained clearly.

Su Ye tried to pull his hand away which was being pinched by Xi Yu, but failed.

He sighed very softly.
Even when Su Ye sighed, his expression was gentle and helpless.

"Xi Yu, you almost crushed the gift my neighbor gave me."

The mistletoe wreath hanging on the door had been weighed down by Xi Yu's actions, the ribbon was twisted and crooked, and a bright red fruit on it fell off and was caught in Su Ye's palm.

Xi Yu was in no mood to care about the wreath. His eyes were extremely gloomy as he stared at the fruit between Su Ye's snow-white fingertips, which was as red as the mole at the end of Su Ye's eyebrow.

Su Ye let go, and the red fruit rolled to the ground.

Su Ye slowly raised his eyes, and with his loosened fingers, he threaded the loose hair that fell on the side of his face and gently tucked it behind his ears, revealing his earlobes and neat sideburns, making him look handsome and gentle.
"Xi Yu, you grew up abroad, so you should know the customs of Christmas, right?"

Those slender fingers stretched out towards Xi Yu, stroked Xi Yu's brow bone, gently touched Xi Yu's eyelashes with the fingertips, and gently stroked down the side of Xi Yu's face, lingering.

Su Ye's eyes sparkled like a pool of moonlight, illuminating his deep attachment and love for Xi Yu.
His fingers finally slid down to the side of Xi Yu's neck and rested gently.

Su Ye lowered her eyes, tilted her head slightly, tucked her long hair behind her ear, and slowly moved her face closer to Xi Yu, their hot breath meeting the cold frost of deep winter.
"They say that people who pass under the mistletoe must kiss each other."

Su Ye’s lips moved closer and he sucked gently.
"That's my answer."

The two of them overlapped in front of the apartment door. Su Ye kissed Xi Yu delicately and gently, and Xi Yu held his waist and returned the kiss a thousand times.

Su Ye's fingers groped for the key in the lock, and he spoke intermittently amidst his rapid breathing.
"Xi Yu, can we go in now?"

Xi Yu didn't say anything. He raised his dark peach blossom eyes and stared at Su Ye. His hands were so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to crush Su Ye into his bones and blood.

Su Ye panted and continued to speak with a smile.
"I, my neighbors have already misunderstood me as having a new boyfriend. I don't want to continue to be misunderstood as a slutty man who gets entangled with his ex-girlfriend at the door."

When Xi Yu heard the word "dissolute", his eyes shook. He turned the door with his backhand, pulled out the key, and stumbled into the apartment while struggling with Su Ye.

Xi Yu was a little sober now, but still very manic.
He pulled Su Ye's collar, pushed Su Ye towards an armchair by the living room window, and slammed the door of the apartment.

"Su Ye, do you remember what I said to you?"

When Xi Yu said this, his mind was still a little confused, and he didn't know what he was referring to.
He said so many things to Su Ye.

The apartment door slammed open and Su Ye fell into the armchair. The buttons of the shirt under his coat had been ripped open, revealing his delicate and white collarbone.
Su Ye lay on his back on the sofa. With the moonlight shining on him, he looked like a completely opened clam, in a completely open posture.

Like a succubus that disturbs other people's dreams late at night.
And Xi Yu is the arrogant human who has been entangled with the succubus countless times in his dreams.

"remember."
Su Ye tilted her head slightly, and while speaking, she raised one hand and gently pulled off the hairband that held her long hair together.

The long hair with light silver and light gold slid down, as beautiful as a work of art.

"I promised you that I would never leave you again."
Su Ye's voice was light and light, like a dream talk.

They made a promise late that night, and the other man calmly told Su Ye, "If you change, I'll kill you."
That sentence shocked Su Ye at the time.

Su Ye raised her eyes, her features were gorgeous, her face was blurred, the blood color floating under her snow-white skin spread from deep within, so alluring and thrilling.

"Xi Yu." Su Ye's eyes were slightly curved, with a faint smile, and he spoke softly, word by word, "Kill me."

The clams were forced to open their doors, revealing the pure white pearls, which blurred in the moonlight, turned upside down, and scattered all over the ground.

Su Ye's back glowed white in the night, his shoulder blades opened and closed like breathing, enduring the intense and unbearable love. He was thrown to the peak and then immediately fell down. In the ups and downs, he even covered his lips with the back of his hand sadly, and sobbed softly in the air.

Xi Yu touched the corners of Su Ye's eyes and felt only a little dampness, but no tears. He was not satisfied and became even more ruthless, pulling Su Ye's arm and whispering.
"Shuishui, can you cry?"

Su Ye shook his head, refusing to say anything. He bit his fingers, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was flushed, and the mole at the end of his eyebrow was conspicuous.

Su Ye really did what she said to Xi Yu. No matter how unbearable it was, she would not try to escape or avoid him. She just covered her mouth and tried hard to suppress her voice. Then, when Xi Yu brushed her hand away, Su Ye raised her slender white neck in shame and difficulty to respond to Xi Yu's kiss.

Su Ye felt as if he had really responded to the proposal he had proactively made.
He turned into the moonlight, flowing softly and weakly on the ground.

He was not sure whether he had fainted or not, but this repetitive feeling made Su Ye feel like he was trying to slip into a dream, and then when he was about to fall asleep, he was caught back by Xi Yu and brought into reality.

"Xi, Xi Yu."

Su Ye begged in a low voice with an attitude that was extremely loving in Xi Yu's eyes, and finally got a chance to catch his breath when the sky was about to brighten.

Su Ye was curled up on the ground, with Xi Yu's black coat as a cushion, her snow-white limbs curled up to the side, like a beautiful porcelain doll.

He was really out of strength. His limbs ached terribly. Even if he moved his legs a little, his toes would tremble.

Fortunately, there was sufficient heating, so at least I didn’t feel cold, but instead I was sweating profusely.

"Shui Shui." Xi Yu squatted down on one knee and looked down at Su Ye who was curled up.

Su Ye's chest rose and fell, and he turned over slightly, his messy hair blocking his face. He tried to raise his hands, opened them, and reached out to Xi Yu.
"Xi Yu, carry me to take a bath, okay?"

Su Ye frowned slightly, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Xi Yu took Su Ye's hand and kissed it, "This is the first time you actively asked me to help you."

Su Ye's breathing was still not steady. Hearing that, her beautiful eyes blinked slowly. She smiled foolishly and uttered words unconsciously.
"Xi Yu, look at what you have done to me."

Xi Yu combed Su Ye's long hair, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Shui Shui, please be careful with your words."

He stretched his hands through Su Ye's lower back and knees and picked up the powerless Su Ye.

Su Ye panted softly, "The bathroom is on the right."

However, Xi Yu did not walk to the right as Su Ye said, but moved on the spot and carried Su Ye to the armchair by the window.

Su Ye sat there with no energy, raised his eyes slightly, tilted his head and looked at Xi Yu with a smile, "What are you doing?"

Xi Yu raised his finger, made a "hush" sound, and took two steps back.
"Let me take a closer look at you in five years."

Su Ye was wearing a dark thin coat that he had kept in the apartment, which could not hide the large areas of whiteness and marks. His toes were lightly resting on the footstool in front of the armchair. His legs were long and beautiful, and his knees were loosely bent lazily.

The conch-like birthmark on the calf is too clear.

Su Ye had a tall and straight figure, his entire body exposed to the moonlight without reservation. Even though he was leaning weakly in an armchair, he was still a presence that made people unable to take their eyes off him.

"Shuishui, you are so beautiful."
Xi Yu whispered.

Su Ye looked at Xi Yu who was standing in a shadow deep in the living room.

Xi Yu looked at him without blinking, with his black hair hanging down, handsome and gloomy, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and a few bags under his eyes, making Xi Yu's eyes look romantic and affectionate.
He stood in the shadows, like a handsome god of night.

Su Ye's entire body was exposed without reservation to Xi Yu's straightforward and passionate gaze, and his heart began to pound again.

"Xi Yu, come here." Su Ye suddenly spoke.

Xi Yu walked out of the shadows, gradually appeared in the moonlight, and approached Su Ye.

Su Ye's lips almost touched Xi Yu's earlobe, "Xi Yu, you are so sexy."

Xi Yu laughed softly, lazy and contented.

After taking a bath while holding Su Ye, the living room was in a mess. Su Ye took Xi Yu to his bedroom.

This apartment is a one-bedroom apartment, and the bedroom is not very spacious. Xi Yu stood by the door and saw the familiar lemon yellow vine-patterned wallpaper and light green window frames.
The difference is that it is almost dawn outside the window.

Su Ye's bedroom is very much in his own style, clean but a little messy. There are a lot of books piled high on the desk by the window, and there is a CD rack next to it, filled with many albums.

Xi Yu pulled it out and saw his face staring at him expressionlessly.

Su Ye pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed at this moment.
"This is my personal property, you can't touch it."

Xi Yu smiled and sat on the desk.
"You're going to divide up the pre-marital property with me so early."

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, then kicked Xi Yu's calf with his toes, but his face showed a happy expression.

Su Ye turned around, concealing his expression, opened the cupboard, and took out a clean quilt, "Let's get some sleep."

Xi Yu came over shamelessly, resting his chin on Su Ye's shoulder, took the quilt that Su Ye was holding, shook it neatly and covered it on the bed, then put his arms around Su Ye's waist and fell down.

The two people faced each other, and Xi Yu kept staring into Su Ye's amber eyes.

Su Ye was staring at Xi Yu at first, but later he felt embarrassed and his eyes wandered around.

"Okay, go to sleep." Su Ye said vaguely and pushed Xi Yu.

"Brother is also very beautiful when he is shy."
Xi Yu grabbed Su Ye and whispered, "Can you also include me in your brother's personal belongings?"

Su Ye stopped struggling, and after a long silence, she nestled into Xi Yu's arms, burying her head in Xi Yu's neck.

"You are not a personal property." Su Ye whispered, "You are my lover."

The sunlight slanted in without the two of them knowing, and then set down the mountain accompanied by the laughter of the pedestrians passing by downstairs.

When Su Ye woke up, it was already dark again.

He vaguely attributed it all to jet lag.

There were several messages in the phone. One was from An Sijia to test his current situation, and the other was from Jiang Congfeng. It seemed that he felt that just sending a text message was not enough, so he sent a voice message a few hours ago.

Su Ye smiled and clicked it, and heard Jiang Congfeng say sullenly, "Brother, I'm sorry."
He sent an emoticon in reply, signaling Jiang Congfeng not to think too much about it.

There was a slight sound coming from the window. Su Ye looked up and found that it was the black cat he had seen yesterday, squatting by the window and looking at the room arrogantly.

Su Ye put down his phone, made a cross with his index fingers and put it in front of his mouth.
"Shh, he's not awake yet."

The black cat rolled its eyes, arched its back, and blew air into the room, completely ignoring Su Ye's request.

Su Ye was at a loss, afraid of waking Xi Yu up, so when he turned around, he looked into Xi Yu's dark eyes.

"Are you awake?" Su Ye blinked a little confusedly.

Xi Yu imitated Su Ye and blinked, "Yeah, I woke up and saw Shui Shui trying to communicate with the cat."

Su Ye blushed slightly and ignored him, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Xi Yu yawned, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. Where did this stinky cat come from?"
The black cat was still breathing at Xi Yu.

Su Ye laughed, "Why are you like this?"

Xi Yu looked at Su Ye and smiled, "Why are you siding with a cat?"

Su Ye waved his hand, and the black cat jumped in from the edge, avoided Xi Yu, and rubbed Su Ye's fingers.
"This is my neighbor's cat. I've known him for a long time."

"Oh." Xi Yu raised an eyebrow, "Hello, I am the lover of this beautiful human, you have nothing to do with it."

The black cat hissed and jumped out of the window.

Xi Yu pretended to be hurt, "Your cat neighbor doesn't seem to like me very much."

Su Ye lowered his head and smiled: "It can't communicate with the childish ghost."

As the night deepens, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger.

Su Ye hesitated quietly, "Do you want to go out for a walk with me?"

Su Ye was not sure whether Xi Yu would feel aversion to this place where he had lived in seclusion for five years.

Fortunately, after Xi Yu sobered up, he was no longer as manic as he was last night.

"Okay." Xi Yu touched Su Ye's hair.

When the two of them went out, they happened to meet their next-door neighbor, an old lady who was holding the black cat and looking at the mistletoe wreath at Su Ye's door through glasses.

"Ye, you're back." The old lady greeted him first, "What happened to the wreath? Was there a terrorist attack?"

Su Ye was too embarrassed to say it and just glossed over it vaguely.

Xi Yu appeared behind him and said Merry Christmas to the old lady.

"Oh, you are the handsome guy from yesterday!" The old lady pushed her glasses, her light blue eyes smiled, her gaze lingering on Su Ye and Xi Yu, "Oh, I see, it seems that the mistletoe comes in handy."

Xi Yu pretended to be innocent, "Yes, thank you, that's very thoughtful."

"Thank you. I'll take him for a walk."
Su Ye blushed, said hello, and pushed Xi Yu downstairs.

There were many people walking around, and it was even more lively than Christmas Eve. Su Ye and Xi Yu walked side by side on the street, feeling the night breeze, and were in a daze.

Five years ago, Su Ye would never have imagined that one day he would bring Xi Yu back to his apartment, make love until he was dizzy, fall asleep, and then wake up to take a walk together.

At that time, he didn't even dare to think that he would meet Xi Yu again one day.

"Shui Shui, have you been living in Geneva for the past five years?" Xi Yu suddenly asked.

Xi Yu has become a little silent since he came out. Su Ye vaguely guessed the reason and walked quietly beside him.

Su Ye curled his fingers in his coat pockets and said, "Well, I've been here for the past five years and haven't been anywhere else."

Xi Yu became quiet again, and the cheering crowd kept passing by the two of them.

Su Ye pursed her lips, feeling sad and guilty.
The missing five years are hard to make up for, and is Xi Yu still feeling hurt now?
"Shuishui, have you been doing well in the past five years?"
Xi Yu asked this question, which he had considered countless times before.

Before they knew it, they had strolled to the famous Lake Geneva, which was surrounded by vendors preparing for the Christmas market, and was bustling with activity.

Su Ye stood by the lake. The cold but warm night breeze blew over him, making him dazed.

Xi Yu looked at Su Ye very seriously in front of him, allowing Su Ye to finally see the emotions on Xi Yu's face.
It's not sadness, but heartache.

Because he tried to put himself in Su Ye's shoes, but could not come to an optimistic conclusion no matter how he tried to deduce, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel depressed.

Xi Yu stared at Su Ye and repeated it slowly.

"Shuishui, you are really important to me."
"Tell me, how did you get here alone? Are you doing well?"
