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

Su Ye's eyes suddenly felt hot and he felt an impulse.
All his impulses originated from Xi Yu and were about to break out of the ground.

The cold night wind blew, bringing with it some mist from Lake Geneva, brushing against Su Ye's eyelashes, causing him to lower his head and blink.

[How are you doing?]
Su Ye had heard this sentence before.

When he just returned to China, as soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw the extremely conspicuous billboard in front of him. On it was a face engraved in the deepest part of his heart, and in the corner was the name of the person who touched his heart.

The weather was not very cold at that time, it was clearly early winter, but the wind mixed with snowflakes blew on Su Ye's face, making his heart tremble uncontrollably. His fingertips were incredibly cold, and he stood in the cool breeze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The wind made Su Ye's eyes red, and then his aunt Su Lan came beside him and asked him softly.
[how is your day?]
Su Ye blinked again, trying hard to stop this impulse from the bottom of his heart.

Su Ye always felt that he was not strong enough, but perhaps he was still tough, so even if he said goodbye to his teammates, left Xi Yu, and lived alone in a foreign country for five years, he was able to maintain his dignity in front of others and not lose his composure too much.

It was the same when Su Lan asked him the same question.

Su Ye wondered silently in his heart, how is his life?

He couldn't say it, but in front of Lidya Su, he could disguise his emotions very well, pretending to be blown by the wind, avoiding the question, getting into the warm car, and then muttering to himself, "I'm fine."

Su Ye recalled again that he was not saying that to Su Lan, but to himself.
He wanted to put an end to these five years for him that was not so embarrassing.

In front of other people, Su Ye felt that he had met a sufficiently "decent" standard.

But now, Xi Yu was standing in front of him, asking him slowly and seriously, "How are you doing?"

It is now midwinter in Geneva, and the temperature by the lake is even colder at night. The night wind, carrying snowflakes, blows through the crowd filled with a strong Christmas atmosphere and across the golden, green and bright red decorations.

This temperature is much colder than when Su Ye just returned to China.

But Su Ye still felt hot all over, starting from his heart, then to his cheeks and then to his eyes.
Then to the palm of your hand.

Su Ye's eyes flickered.

It was Xi Yu. He reached into his coat pocket, touched his hand, slowly pulled it out, held it in his palm, and rubbed his fingertips again and again.

Xi Yu continuously transferred the heat from his body to Su Ye, so that Su Ye did not feel cold even in the cold wind, and the burning feeling in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

Some vendors wearing Christmas hats hurried past, and their voices reached the ears of the silent Su Ye.

"What? Something's wrong?"
"Oh why is this happening again? I just set up my stall."
"Hey, someone come over here and help fix it!"

Su Ye lowered his head, not daring to look up. Countless emotions surged in his heart. He didn't know what he would look like in Xi Yu's eyes if he raised his head.

But he looked at Xi Yu holding his hands, mustered up his courage, and took a deep breath.
"I wanted to prepare a gift, but due to the weather, I was unable to do so. I have always felt very sorry and frustrated."

Xi Yu's voice sounded extremely gentle under the lights of the Christmas market.
"Ah."

Su Ye lowered his head and took Xi Yu's hand, and continued: "At that time, I felt that I had missed it, and I really missed it. The timing was not good. Maybe I would never be able to send it out, and I would never be able to let that person see it."

Xi Yu waited quietly and patiently for Su Ye's next words.

But after Su Ye finished speaking, he was silent for a while, as if he had entered a state of silence.

In this silence, the voices of the surrounding vendors seem clearer.

"Small problem! There's still time, come on!"
"We can do it, come over here!"

"But." Su Ye finally spoke, mumbling, "I now feel that maybe I haven't missed it. Maybe the timing is right."
Perhaps the regrets at that time were to pave the way for a more fulfilling future.

Su Ye made a request very seriously with the courage he mustered up in his heart.
"Xi Yu, can you come with me for a moment?"

Xi Yu's black hair swayed slightly in the cold wind by the lake, brushing across his handsome and deep eyes that only contained Su Ye.
"it is good."

After getting Xi Yu's consent, Su Ye nodded slightly, and on the streets of a foreign country, by the shore of Lake Geneva, holding Xi Yu's hand, he slowly walked to a stone plank road closest to the lake.

Xi Yu followed Su Ye, holding Su Ye's hand, and looked around.

Something seemed to have gone wrong at the Christmas market here. Lights were on in the distance, but the lakeside was dim and dark, like a late night dream from which one could never wake up.

There was the sound of clear waves on the lake, but it was too dark and Xi Yu could only vaguely see a large area of ​​deep ink blue.
Even the figure of Su Ye beside him seemed a little blurry.

Xi Yu's heart beat faster and he held Su Ye's hand tightly, in case this was just another dream and Su Ye would disappear in his fantasy after he woke up.
This thought even made Xi Yu break out in a cold sweat.

"arrive."
Su Ye suddenly said softly.

Xi Yu didn’t understand what Su Ye meant for the time being, but he vaguely sensed that Su Ye seemed to be waiting for something.
He stood beside Su Ye patiently, waiting.

"Xi Yu, you know, when I lived here, I often passed by this lake."
Su Ye looked into the distance, but there was only the pitch-black night, and Xi Yu couldn't guess what he was looking at.

"Everyone says this lake is beautiful, but I never understood what's so beautiful about it, because I - I don't have the heart to stop and take a good look at it."

Su Ye recalled the five years he had lived here. It seemed a long time, but when he really thought about it, he found that there were not many details worth exploring.
After so long, there are only a few things that remain most vivid in his memory.

His teammates' careers are on the rise, Xi Yu has established himself in the pop music scene, what his mother Su Yun said to him, and that thrilling Christmas that year.

Everything seemed to be happening again, and this quiet lake brought Su Ye back to that day again.
But the difference is that Xi Yu is now in front of him.

"That Christmas, an old lady finally answered my questions."
Su Ye whispered in a dreamy voice, "She told me that some things are just like this, and it won't work without him."

The old lady was speaking English to Su Ye at the time, and the personal pronouns were clear and distinct. But when it was replaced in the Chinese context, it became a kind of vague romance.

All the things coincided with the memories in Su Ye's mind one by one.

In the distance, vendors who were working together to repair a broken stall burst into shouts, one after another, “Merry Christmas!” carried in the night wind.

The quiet lake surface suddenly moved.
Xi Yu couldn't help but open his eyes wide and look over there.

A loud sound of water suddenly rang out on the quiet and gloomy lake.
A shocking fountain of water shot up into the sky, breaking through a deep ink-blue color. It surged into the sky while Xi Yu was stunned. It was so fierce and turbulent that it made people's heart beat continuously.

Suddenly, tiny lights appeared in the sky above the market.

One by one, the small strings of lights connected in mid-air lit up, like ripples, gathering from afar and spreading little by little to the tops of Xi Yu and Su Ye's heads.
Finally, they all lit up, like stars in the night sky, falling towards Xi Yu and Su Ye one after another.

The lake finally appeared in its original form in Xi Yu's eyes. The beautiful water flowed in the air and turned into mist, falling gently. It was so dreamy that it seemed like a wonderland that only existed on Christmas Eve.

"Xi Yu, isn't she beautiful?"
In the fairyland, Su Ye looked up under the stars and mist. His long light-colored hair was slightly wet and stuck to the side of his face. Even his eyelashes were stained with a layer of light gold under the light.

".Yes, it's beautiful."
Xi Yu even forgot to breathe and stared at Su Ye, unable to move his eyes away.

Su Ye finally raised her face under the Christmas lights, her slightly damp hair became wet again and fell beside her beautiful face.

Su Ye smiled, her beautiful eyes curved, but tears kept flowing, like clear crystals, falling one by one and hitting Xi Yu's heart.
Xi Yu finally saw Su Ye crying.

Su Ye spoke, his voice trembling slightly at the end of the sentence, but his breath was even and strong.

"I was thinking at the time, it's so beautiful! It would be great if Xi Yu could be by my side and watch it with me."
"I wish he could see this scenery, too."
"But he's not here. He's too far away from me."

Su Ye's tears were getting more and more, and they kept falling, making a faint golden halo appear on the side of Su Ye's face.

Reflected in Xi Yu's eyes, it made Xi Yu's heart tremble and his love almost overflowed from his chest.

Xi Yu did not reach out to wipe away Su Ye's tears, but just held Su Ye's hand a little tighter.

"Shuishui, why did you return home?"
Xi Yu's voice didn't sound like a question, but more like he wanted to confirm the answer in Su Ye's heart.

Su Ye shed tears, smiled, and looked at Xi Yu gently and carefully.

Su Lan also asked him this question.
The answer he gave at that time was ambiguous.

He looked at Xi Yu's face and kept asking himself questions in his heart.
Su Ye, why are you talking so nonsense?

The colorful lights along the shore of Lake Geneva strung together the entire lake, with rays of light and shadows refracting down, forming a large, brilliant and invisible spot of light at the feet of Su Ye and Xi Yu.

The visible and invisible things in Su Ye's heart seemed to suddenly converge into one point in the mottled and disordered light, and he found a weakness that he had tried hard to hide before, and was unwilling, or afraid, to expose to others.

"You asked me how I spent the past five years."

Su Ye's eyelashes were wet with tears and drooped slightly, but they could not cover up the surging emotions in his eyes.

"Xi Yu, I miss you so much, every day, all the time."

Su Ye moved on tiptoe slightly and took a step forward. Just as he stretched out his hands, before he touched the coat on Xi Yu, Xi Yu embraced him without saying a word and held Su Ye in his arms.

Su Ye buried his head, his fingertips grasping Xi Yu's coat, his shoulders trembling in suppression.
"You asked me why I came back."

Xi Yu actually already knew the answer, but he wanted to hear the introverted and gentle Su Ye say it in person.

"Because I miss you, I want to see you, and I don't want to continue wandering alone."
"I miss Xi Yu so much. I want to go back to him."

Xi Yu hugged him tightly and kept talking in a low voice.

"Shuishui, me too."
"I think you're going crazy."
"They all think I'm crazy, and I think I am crazy too. Without you by my side, I don't know what the meaning of all this is."

Xi Yu turned his head slightly, and his face touched Su Ye's face wet with tears.
"Shuishui, you are my meaning."

There were constant cheers in the distance, and the sounds of firecrackers and bells intertwined, welcoming the new year with full expectation.
Relatives gather together, friends laugh and play, and lovers kiss passionately.

Su Ye always had a scent of cedar and white roses. This time, Xi Yu tasted something different at the corner of Su Ye's lips, the salty taste of tears.
This is the evidence that Su Ye is here and by his side.

Xi Yu kissed Su Ye, their lips and tongues entangled.

The snow was falling heavily, continuously falling on their heads and faces, rolling onto the tip of Su Ye's tongue, and then being hooked away by Xi Yu, turning into hot and sweet dew that was sucked away.

The organizer of the Christmas market pushed over a piano, and a street performer sat on the piano stool, playing and singing a familiar song.

[Don't cry snowman not in front of me.]
Don't cry, snowman. Don't cry in front of me.

[Who will catch your tears if you can't catch me darling.]
If you can't hold me tight, who will catch your tears?

Xi Yu listened to the singing, took a step back, leaned over to the lakeside and extended a hand to Su Ye like a gentleman.
"Sir, could you please dance with me?"

Su Ye's long hair fluttered in the wind. He pushed it behind his ears. His eyes were shining with tears. He stretched out his hand and touched Xi Yu's palm with his fingertips.

Xi Yu gently wrapped Su Ye's fingers around her and put his arm around her waist. The stone trestle made slight noises as they danced, silently supporting the couple's dance.

Xi Yu took Su Ye and turned around in the snow. Su Ye's eyes were curved with a smile, and tiny snowflakes fell on his eyelashes, like a beautiful god who had just walked out of the ice and snow.

The white snow under their feet was trampled into circles of footprints.

Xi Yu looked into Su Ye's beautiful eyes, opened his mouth after the next circle, and sang softly in response to the sound of the piano not far away.

The magnetic and pleasant voice fell into Su Ye's ears. Su Ye's eyes were filled with star-like lights. He listened to the song that Xi Yu sang only for him while dancing.

[I want you to know that I'm never leaving.]
I want you to know that I will never leave.

[Cause I'm Mrs.snow'till death we'll be freezing.]
I am your other half, and only death can separate us.

[You are my home my home for all seasons.]
You are my home, no matter how many seasons pass by.

The tips of Su Ye's eyelashes were coated with a faint halo, and her eyes could not leave the face of the handsome black-haired man in front of her.

Xi Yu also looked at Su Ye, with a smile on his face that was unrestrained, ostentatious, and as it should be.

[so come on let's go.]
The snow fell on the two people and was gently shaken off during the next dance step, as if this dance would never end.

The song has reached its final verse.

[Please don't cry no tears now.]
[It's Christmas baby.]
In the last dance step, Su Ye and Xi Yu embraced each other.

He had been thousands of miles away, fantasizing about spending Christmas with someone.
He was once so close, but he was not prepared for the surprise that was five years late.

But now, all of this has been satisfied.

Christmas is here again.

Xi Yu was right in front of him, not someone else, not someone else in appearance, but Xi Yu, the Xi Yu who was hugging him.

Su Ye felt as if his heart was bursting, sore and swollen, and something was flowing out, just like his tears at this moment.
"Merry Christmas, Xi Yu."

Xi Yu kissed the tears on his cheek and kissed his earlobe, "Merry Christmas, Shuishui."

There was a constant stream of people walking through the Christmas market. Su Ye and Xi Yu were holding hands and strolling among them.

Almost all the people here are locals, no one knows them, they are just one of the couples who are in love.

The rich aroma of wheat came, and Su Ye stopped in surprise when he passed a bread stand. It was the old woman he had seen that Christmas, and she and her husband were bringing out a tray of freshly baked buns.

The old woman looked up and smiled when she saw Su Ye.
"Ah, it's you, pretty young man."

Su Ye smiled and pulled Xi Yu to stop in front of the stall, "Hello, nice to see you again."

The old woman came closer and looked at Su Ye carefully.
"You look much happier now, kid."

She spoke with a heavy French accent, gesticulating as she spoke, "You looked very lost at the time. Don't doubt the old woman's eyesight. I could tell at a glance that you were absent-minded. It was Christmas."

Su Ye pursed her lips and whispered, "Am I very different now?"

The old woman nodded. "Child, do you remember when I asked you if you were alone?"

Su Ye blinked, "I remember." He was impressed.

The old woman smiled slyly, "Guess why I asked you this?"

Su Ye thought about it and shook his head honestly, "I don't know."

The old woman turned and said, "Because you look like you are waiting for someone."

She busied herself for a while, then brought over two glasses of mulled wine, and winked at Xi Yu mischievously with her old but wise eyes.
"It looks like you've been waiting, hasn't it?"

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, then hooked Xi Yu's fingers tightly and smiled generously.
"Yes, I waited, and he came to me."

Xi Yu took the two glasses of mulled wine and nodded to her, "Yes, thank you."

Su Ye took a small sip, and the aroma of fruit and cinnamon emerged. He asked curiously, "Aren't you selling hot ginger tea this year?"

"You were alone and seemed cold, so I wanted to warm you up." The old woman waved her hand, "As a couple, it would be more appropriate to have a drink together."

Su Ye was a little shy, but he felt happy to hear the word "lover" from other people's mouths. He couldn't help but hold Xi Yu's fingers.

After they finished shopping at the market and drinking mulled wine, Xi Yu took Su Ye's hand and walked on the night street, looking at the starry sky.

He has lived abroad for many years and spent many Christmases abroad, but this year's Christmas was the first time he spent it with Su Ye.
It was also the best Christmas Xi Yu had ever had.

"I'm so happy." Su Ye next to him suddenly spoke, and stomped the snow on his boots on the spot, with a very cute action.

"This is the happiest Christmas I have ever had." Su Ye looked at Xi Yu with sparkling eyes.

Xi Yu felt that his heart was being knocked by Su Ye again and again, and the lingering sound would never stop.

His handsome peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, "What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing just now."

Su Ye suspected that this was Xi Yu's flirting, "Really?"

"Really." Xi Yu kissed Su Ye's cheek, "Every word I said to my brother came from my heart."

Su Ye blushed, and it looked like she was blown by the wind, "You are not serious."

"Yeah." Xi Yu imitated Su Ye's usual tone, "No, I can't be serious when I see my brother."

Su Ye turned his head away, pretending not to hear. After a while, he lowered his eyes and whispered to himself, "Me too."

It was still early in the night. Su Ye took Xi Yu for a stroll nearby and told Xi Yu every bit of his life over the years.
Xi Yu listened very carefully.

Su Ye put his hands in front of his face, exhaled white air, and his eyes fell on the Saint-Pierre Cathedral in the distance.

"That Catholic church over there has a long history. It was built in the Middle Ages and later expanded. I often go there and stare blankly."

Xi Yu raised an eyebrow, "Have you changed your religious beliefs in the past five years?"

Su Ye glanced at him, shrank his neck uncomfortably, and then spoke softly.
"Because there is a nun whose motto is 'May you finally be reunited with the one you love'. I like to hear her say this, so I often go there."

Xi Yu kneaded Su Ye's fingers and said in a shameless tone, "That nun does have some ability to predict the future."

Su Ye laughed quietly, "Later, on a holiday, she chatted with me for a long time, and then said, 'Your lover must be a very beautiful Chinese woman.' I said no, it's a boy, which scared her."

Xi Yu teased Su Ye deliberately, "What happened next? Were you banned from entering the church?"

Su Ye smiled and leaned forward to support her knees, "No, she was stunned for a long time and then asked me, 'Is he handsome?'"

Xi Yu stood nearby and stretched out his voice, "Oh - then what did you say?"

Su Ye wiped away the tears from laughing and tilted her head, "I said he was arrogant, childish, and sometimes had a bad personality."

Xi Yu lowered his voice and leaned closer to him, "Oh my god. What a stinky man, he really wronged our Shui Shui, didn't he?"

Su Ye burst out laughing, "I told the nun, but he is really handsome, so handsome that my heart beats faster when I see him, and I can't control myself."

Xi Yu was somewhat satisfied and straightened up. "What did the nun say?"

Su Ye gathered her long hair in front of her and pulled up the collar of her coat, covering half of her face.
"She said, 'I don't think I can continue listening to this or it will be against the rules.'"

Xi Yu laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Then she really misunderstood you. Our Shui Shui is very thin-skinned."

Su Ye smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Xi Yu.

Xi Yu tilted his head, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

The smile on Su Ye's face became more restrained, and his voice became lower, but his tone was a little hesitant, with a little bit of indescribable courage.
"I want to take you to see someone. Would you like to go with me to meet her?"

Xi Yu guessed who it was, and he held Su Ye's hand in return, "I want to go, take me with you."

The hesitant expression on Su Ye's face finally calmed down.

He took Xi Yu and called a taxi to the cold, gray-white sanatorium they had visited not long ago.

The grand carved iron gate of the sanatorium was decorated with small ornaments with Christmas elements. Su Ye got out of the car and called Xi Yu before entering the sanatorium.

"I have something I haven't told you yet."

Xi Yu listened quietly, knowing that he was probably about to touch the deepest secret in Su Ye's heart.

"Is it about your mother?" Xi Yu whispered, comforting Su Ye.

Su Ye took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
"My mom, she has severe schizophrenia."

Xi Yu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Su Ye's mother's problem was so serious.

Su Ye spoke in a low voice, feeling uneasy and hesitant, as if he was afraid of scaring Xi Yu.
"It's not innate, but caused by excessive pressure and stimulation. My mother had been holding back on the things that happened at home when I was a child until that day when something happened and she finally exploded."

Su Ye lowered his head.
"She had a mental breakdown, it destroyed her."

Xi Yu's heart tightened. He didn't want to ask, but he had to.
".What is it?"

Su Ye's clenched fingers completely loosened.
"You know my father is a complete scumbag, right?"

Xi Yu nodded. He had just heard some things about Su Ye's father from Xi Niao not long ago. Now this man seemed to have disappeared and no trace of him could be found.
"He now"

Su Ye raised his eyes, "In fact, he died a long time ago."

Xi Yu's breathing stagnated as he thought of the worst possibility.
Xi Niao said that Su Ye's mother had court records.

Su Ye spoke slowly, "They said that my mother went crazy and accidentally killed him that day."

Xi Yu didn't know what to say to comfort Su Ye, but he held Su Ye's hand, which was warm and firm.
"Shui Shui."

Su Ye's fingers trembled.

"I love everything about you." Xi Yu lowered her head slightly and kissed his forehead. "So don't be afraid. I'll be with you, okay?"

Su Ye finally relaxed and entered the sanatorium with Xi Yu.

"Ye, why are you here at this time?"

Edmund was talking to the nurse. He was a little surprised when he saw Su Ye. He raised his eyebrows again when he saw Xi Yu behind Su Ye.
"Who is this?"

Xi Yu caught a glimpse of Edmund's golden hair and found it quite familiar.

Su Ye was still beside him, gently introducing, "Xi Yu, this is Edmund, I——"

Xi Yu took a step forward, held Edmund's hand, and smiled slightly.
"I'm Xi Yu, Su Ye's boyfriend."

Xi Yu emphasized the word "boyfriend".

Su Ye smiled gently and helplessly, and nodded to Edmund.

Edmund looked at Xi Yu's face with a "wow" expression.

"Oh my god, Ye, why didn't you tell us before that you have such a handsome boyfriend!" Edmund stroked his chin and suddenly snapped his fingers, "I thought you looked familiar just now, and I finally remembered!"

Xi Yu thought, since he was Su Ye’s friend, maybe he had seen the scenes in the past where Su Ye and he made CP fans scream.

Oril was also very popular overseas before.

"Ye, he looks so much like the little boy in the photo you attached to the email!" Edmund gestured, "Are they relatives?"

Xi Yu's smug smile instantly disappeared.

He was gently patted on the back of his waist. Su Ye smiled softly beside him, as if afraid that Xi Yu didn't understand, and explained, "Edmund was talking about Yu Yu."

Xi Yu didn't respond. He felt it was not easy for him to respond.

Fortunately, Edmund did not dwell on this issue too much. He took Su Ye and Xi Yu to the second floor and stopped in front of a room with warm and calm colors.

"Yun, Ye is here, and he brought another person with him." Edmund winked.

Xi Yu stood outside the room and heard a very soft female voice coming from inside. It sounded very gentle, but there was some fatigue in it.
"Really? Who is it? Let me see."

Su Ye walked in, Xi Yu followed behind him, and finally met Su Ye's mother, whom he had never met before.

Su Yun was wearing a thick shawl and sitting on the hospital bed, with her hands folded on the quilt and her long hair tied on one side of her shoulder, looking soft and elegant.

Su Yun looked past Su Ye and saw Xi Yu curiously, and then her soft eyes smiled.

Xi Yu suddenly understood who Su Ye learned that gentle temperament from.

"Oh, so handsome, come and sit down."
Su Yun smiled and pointed at the sofa beside her. Xi Yu put the gifts he had bought in advance aside. Su Yun smiled and gently scolded him, "Why did you buy these?"

"Auntie, happy Christmas." Xi Yu restrained himself a lot, and Su Ye smiled secretly beside him with his head down.

Su Yun has a pair of very beautiful eyes, but unlike Su Ye, Su Yun looks gentle and kind, not as alluring as Su Ye's eyes.

Her gaze lingered on Su Ye and Xi Yu for a while, her eyes penetrating, "Xiao Ye, you haven't introduced your friends to me yet."

Xi Yu was afraid that Su Ye would be in trouble, so he spoke directly, "Auntie, I am——"

"Mom, he's the one I like."

Su Yun's eyes widened slightly, and then she smiled again, looking at her nervous but serious son.
"Oh, so that's how it is."

To Xi Yu's surprise, Su Yun's reaction didn't seem to be surprising.

"In that case." Su Yun stood up with great effort. Xi Yu was sitting nearby, so he quickly stepped forward to help her.

Su Yun took out her credit card from the bedside table next to her and handed it to Su Ye, "Xiao Ye, go buy some food."

Su Ye took it and laughed, "Mom, I have money, why do you still treat me like a child?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Go quickly, or you won't be able to buy anything if you're late."

Su Ye agreed, and when she left the ward, she pursed her lips, glanced at Xi Yu's back, and gently closed the door.

Su Yun and Xi Yu were the only ones left in the ward.

Su Yun looked at Xi Yu, her tired face still smiling, kind and gentle.
"Xi Yu, right? I've wanted to see you for a long time."
