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

After entering the ward and seeing Su Yun, Xi Yu couldn't help but restrain his lazy attitude in front of others.

It had nothing to do with Su Yun’s poor physical condition, it was simply because she was Su Ye’s mother.

Hearing Su Yun's words, Xi Yu straightened his back a little more, and showed some surprise in his heart.

Regarding the physical condition of Su Ye's mother Su Yun, Xi Yu had already learned something from Su Ye when he and Su Ye arrived at the sanatorium. In addition, when Edmund led them to the second floor, he also told Xi Yu about some precautions when dealing with patients.

According to Su Ye and Edmund, although Su Yun's mental state has improved a lot in the past few years, it is still not in a good state.

Xi Yu was a thoughtful person, and when he saw Su Yun for the first time, he also observed something from Su Yun's expression.

Although Su Yun had a pretty face, smiled when she spoke, and looked calm when she saw Su Ye and him, she could not hide the fatigue deep in her eyes, which could also be seen in her thin body and dull long hair.

Xi Yu is aware of his own status, but Su Yun has been living abroad for a long time. In this situation, it stands to reason that he has no extra time to pay attention to the domestic entertainment industry.

Su Yun seemed to notice Xi Yu's silence and smiled slightly.
"My health is not good, and I spend most of my time recuperating. I really haven't paid attention to related industries in China."

Xi Yu's expression was almost respectful. "Auntie just said that she has wanted to see me for a long time."

The door of the ward was closed. Xi Yu knew clearly that Su Yun had taken the initiative to send Su Ye out because she wanted to talk to him alone.
This kind of scene of meeting the parents made Xi Yu more restrained.

Su Yun wrapped her thick shawl tighter around her and started laughing again.
"Xi Yu, can I call you Xiao Yu?"

Xi Yu sat closer and nodded immediately, "Of course, Auntie, please feel free to do as you please."

"Xiao Yu." Su Yun read the name, "I'm not actually familiar with you, I just know that you are Xiao Ye's teammate."

Xi Yu clasped his hands together and placed them on his knees, then nodded when he heard this.

Su Yun looked towards the door of the ward, as if looking at her son who had just walked out of the ward.

“But I can see that Xiaoye’s heart is not here. Although he has come to Geneva and lives a regular and ordinary life, his heart is always wandering and has no fixed place to stay.”

Xi Yu clenched his fingers, thinking of what he had heard from Su Lan about Su Ye's life here.

Although Su Lan told him some things and Su Ye also opened his heart, Xi Yu still felt annoyed and unwilling in his heart, which tortured him subtly.

Language is the most empty thing. No matter how vivid the description is, he can only rely on his imagination to get a glimpse of Su Ye's mood.

Su Ye’s difficulties, Su Ye’s anxiety, Su Ye’s pain.
Whether happy or sad, Xi Yu didn't want to miss a single bit.

Xi Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

He wished he could experience all of Su Ye's emotions completely, even if they were unbearable, he wanted to experience it personally.
He wanted to know everything about Su Ye.

Xi Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was almost thirsty for knowledge about Su Ye. He was really obsessed with Su Ye, to a degree that he could never have imagined before.

Xi Yu was distracted unconsciously until Su Yun reached out and touched Xi Yu's chest with her overly thin fingers.

Xi Yu suddenly raised his eyes.

Su Yun smiled slightly and looked at him.
"Xiao Ye's heart is empty, something is missing, and there is nothing I can do or make up for it."

Xi Yu's heart shrank as Su Yun said this, and he felt distressed.

"I talked to Xiaoye before when I was in a good mood, but he was always vague or cleverly changed the subject. It seemed that he didn't want me to worry too much."
Su Yun sighed, "But I am his mother, I can see that he is missing something in his heart."

Perhaps Xi Yu was unable to control his expression, Su Lan gently patted his shoulder like a kind elder.
"Gradually, I figured out that the missing piece in Xiaoye's heart was a person."

Su Yun is very elegant, with eyes that are penetrating and intelligent.
"It's you, Xiaoyu."

Xi Yu slowly loosened his clenched fingers, but his palms were still covered with a little cold sweat, because of Su Ye's anxiety that he could not understand.

"That's why I said I've wanted to see you for a long time. I want to see what the person Xiaoye hides in his heart and never mentions looks like."
Su Yun smiled playfully this time, which made her look a lot more lively.

"So handsome! My son has really good taste."

Xi Yu tried to smile a little and met Su Yun's eyes.

Su Yun said to him, "Xiao Ye is a very cautious and sensitive person. He is different from me. I never doubt his vision. The person he keeps in his heart must be an excellent person."
"Seeing you, I finally feel relieved."

From childhood to adulthood, Xi Yu has heard a lot of praise, whether it is sincere compliments or flattery for the sake of convenience.
But Su Yun's words made Xi Yu feel a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Auntie. You are exaggerating."

Su Yun shook her head seriously, "I'm not exaggerating. You must be a very good child, Xiao Ye would give his heart to you."

Su Lan struggled to reach the drawer of the bedside table again. Xi Yu came forward to help. He saw her take out a photo album, touched the cover with care, then opened it and waved to Xi Yu.
"Xiao Yu, come and sit beside my bed. I'll show you Xiao Ye."

Xi Yu sat down as he was told.

"Xiao Ye, you should be able to see that although he is gentle to everyone, he is not someone who will easily open up to others."
Su Yun opened the photo album and showed each photo to Xi Yu.

"Look, this is a photo of Xiaoye and me taken when we first arrived in Geneva and settled down."

In the photo, Xi Yu saw Su Yun sitting in a wheelchair, Edmund squatting on the left, and Su Ye standing behind her on the right.

Su Ye was wearing a coat and a thick dark blue wool scarf that looked very familiar to Xi Yu.

Su Yun's fingertips lingered on Su Ye's face.
"The color of Xiaoye's scarf doesn't really match him, but he has always treasured it. When I asked him where it came from, he just smiled and said nothing."

Su Yun smiled softly as she thought of these interesting things.
"I can tell at a glance that he knitted this scarf himself. I'm afraid he was planning to give it to someone else."

Xi Yu was slightly stunned.
Su Ye put this scarf on him at the bonfire party and whispered, "The color suits you very well."

"But look at his expression." Su Yun's smile was gentle, yet a little sad. "Although he was smiling, his heart was not in it."

Su Yun flipped through many pages, and Xi Yu saw more of Su Ye in the past five years.

Su Ye seemed to have cut her long hair in the second year, but the length was still longer than her neck. She was still beautiful, but with a bit of cute and dreamy air.

Xi Yu noticed that Su Ye in every photo had a very similar gentle smile.
So similar that it's like copy and paste.

"He's not happy." Su Yun murmured in a low voice, "You can tell by looking at his smile."

No matter which photo, Su Ye's eyes look empty.
Until the last one.

This photo album is like a small time machine. Su Ye’s clothes changed from winter clothes to summer clothes, and his long hair became short hair and then long again.

In the last photo, Su Ye is sitting on a bench in Pearl Park next to Lake Geneva, holding Su Yun's hand.

The photo seemed to be a candid shot. Su Ye looked up unexpectedly and immediately put on a smile out of habit, but his eyes revealed extreme struggle.

Xi Yu looked carefully, not sure if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see some timidity in the depths of Su Ye's eyes.

"This photo was taken shortly before he returned to China, which is about four or five months ago."

Su Yun closed the photo album and stroked the leather cover reluctantly with her fingers.
"Xiao Yu, do you know why he has this expression?"

Xi Yu had a vague guess in his mind.

He waited for Lidya Su to speak, "I'm not sure."

"The weather was very good that day." Su Yun recalled, "I asked him to accompany me to the park for a walk. He was very happy to hear that I could go out. He must have felt that my health had improved a little."
"In the past five years, I have rarely seen even a slightly positive emotion on his face."

Su Yun sighed softly, "I feel like it's time."

She touched the side of the album reluctantly for the last time, then suddenly handed it to Xi Yu.
"I told him to go back and go back to that person."

Xi Yu took the photo album in a daze, unable to speak.

After a while, Xi Yu came back to his senses, "Aunt, this photo album——"

"For you." Su Yun smiled happily.

Xi Yu lowered his head, touched it, and suppressed his emotions, "No, this is the photo album that you cherish very much, aunt, I can't take it."

Su Yun stretched out her hand, held down the hand Xi Yu handed back, and looked at him kindly.
"Of course you can. It should have been given to you."

Xi Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

From the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to accept it, but judging from Su Yun's attitude, this photo album must be of great significance to Su Yun.

"Aunt, I——"

"I always felt that it was me who delayed Xiaoye."

Su Yun suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Ye is also a very good child. If he didn't have a sickly mother like me holding him back, he would have much more than he has now."
"If it weren't for me—"

Xi Yu, who had always been very polite, suddenly interrupted Su Yun.
"Aunt, please don't say that."

Su Yun stopped and looked at Xi Yu in confusion.

"I have always felt that Su Ye is a very tenacious and courageous person."

Su Ye must have made all the preparations and made up his mind to give up everything he had to help his teammates and protect his mother.

"You are very important to him. He must not want you to have such thoughts, otherwise it would be equivalent to denying his determination and courage."

Xi Yu spoke slowly, but clearly and seriously.
"Aunt, please don't deny him."

Su Yun was stunned for a long time, and finally lowered her head and smiled. She secretly wiped her tears with her index finger and looked up again.
"That's great. Thank you, Xiaoyu."

Xi Yu smiled, and Su Yun pushed the photo album to him again.

"I'm giving you this photo album and Xiao Ye. Are you willing to accept it?" Su Yun's smile also became serious. "Take it away, take Xiao Ye with you, and leave."

Take Su Ye away from the sad past.

Su Yun's words were so powerful that Xi Yu's heart beat faster.

Su Yun is a very strong woman who has suffered a lot. Perhaps the only treasure she has now is her son Su Ye.
But she willingly gave it up and sent her treasure to someone else.

Su Yun patted the back of Xi Yu's hand and saw through Xi Yu's heart.

"Don't worry about me. As long as our hearts are together, we won't be truly separated even if we are thousands of miles apart. Shouldn't you and Xiaoye know this best?"

Xi Yu finally relaxed his tense nerves, and his heart settled down steadily.

"Aunt, thank you." Xi Yu thanked her sincerely, steadily and firmly.

Su Yun smiled and reached out to touch Xi Yu's head as if she was touching her own son.

Crack.
The door was pushed open, and Su Ye walked in with a cold breath, carrying a few packing boxes in his hands.

Xi Yu stood up and walked over habitually, pinching Su Ye's slightly cold fingertips, "Is it cold outside?"

"It's not cold." Su Ye stamped his feet, looked up and smiled, the corners of his eyes seemed to be slightly reddened by the cold wind.

Because Su Yun was present, Xi Yu resisted the urge to kiss Su Ye.

After Edmund finished his night shift handover, he also came to Su Yun's room. He enthusiastically unpacked the cake and roast chicken that Su Ye had bought, and told several jokes, making Su Yun laugh.

After laughing for a while, Su Yun gradually felt a little tired, and asked Su Ye and Xi Yu to go back early and rest under the care of the nurse.

The few of them left quietly and chatted for a while in Edmund's office.

Xi Yu had a question in his mind, and finally asked it when the time was right.
"Shuishui, regarding your mother's trial, you said 'they said', is that correct?"

In fact, it was not a particularly strange point, but Xi Yu felt it was a little strange after hearing it.

Su Ye held the hot mocha in his hand and nodded.
"Well, I don't remember much about what happened at that time. It was only after I woke up that I heard Sister Lan say that something happened to my father and my mother was pushed into the defendant."

Xi Yu grasped the key point and asked, "Are there any other witnesses to this matter?"

Su Ye recalled, "I was too young at the time, and my memory was a little confused, so my testimony was not convincing. I determined my mother's gender based on the testimonies of other people who were present."

Edmund also knew about Su Yun's situation, and started to speak.
"Yun was judged to have acted in self-defense and was diagnosed with a mental illness. She was not held accountable. After being discharged from the hospital, she was quickly transferred to Switzerland for recuperation." Xi Yu had a feeling that something was fishy here.

He looked at Su Ye and found that Su Ye was distracted, as if thinking about something.
"Shuishui?"

"Hmm?" Su Ye came back to his senses and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Xi Yu looked into his eyes carefully, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Ye hesitated for a moment.
"In fact, I have always had doubts about this matter for so many years."

Xi Yu nodded and encouraged Su Ye to continue.
"Although my mother had a mental breakdown at the time, I really don't think she would accidentally kill someone, after all, the other party was an adult male."

Edmund also nodded. "I tried to ask Yun about this matter at first, but she was very resistant to it. I was afraid of irritating her, so I didn't ask any more questions."

Su Ye was feeling a little depressed.
Although it was self-defense, it must not feel good to have a life on your shoulders.

What's more, my mother had lost contact with my maternal grandparents at that time, and she suffered a lot of criticism, which aggravated her mental condition.

"If only I could remember something, maybe I could solve this question." Su Ye murmured.

This is true, but Xi Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Ye, "Shui Shui, this matter can't be forced."

The two did not stay in the sanatorium any longer. After saying goodbye to Edmund, they took a taxi back to Su Ye's small apartment.

Xi Yu took the photo album that Su Yun gave him, and sat on Su Ye's dark green soft sofa, hugged Su Ye, and kissed him over and over again, kissing Su Ye so hard that he could hardly breathe.

Su Ye coughed twice, the corners of his eyes were red, and his long hair was messed up by Xi Yu.
"Are you too nervous to meet my mom?"

"A little bit." Xi Yu said frankly, "But I'm still very happy."

Su Ye curled up on the sofa, being held horizontally by Xi Yu. Her white and smooth toes curled up shyly and sank deeply into the sofa cushions when she heard his words.
"Well why are you happy?"

Xi Yu lowered his head and looked at Su Ye's face which was turned away because of embarrassment.
"Of course I'm happy to see my mother-in-law."

Su Ye's toes trembled reflexively. He did not correct Xi Yu's words, but was still a little embarrassed and did not say anything.

Xi Yu lowered his voice to tease him, "Okay, it's not the mother-in-law, it's the mother-in-law. Will Shui Shui feel better this way?"

Su Ye's red lips slightly opened, and she was too embarrassed to speak. But Xi Yu seized this opportunity, revealed his true colors, and teased Su Ye even more.
"Brother, you are so beautiful, do you like me?"

Su Ye lowered his head and didn't look at him, "I like it."

Xi Yu rubbed Su Ye's earlobe with the tip of his nose, "Then I will marry you, okay? If you marry me, I promise to serve you obediently."

Su Ye was so embarrassed that she could hardly bear it. Her ears were tickled by Xi Yu's rubbing and she hid behind him.
"Don't talk nonsense."

Xi Yu refused to let him go. "Brother, what are you dissatisfied with me for? Was I too rude and not gentle enough yesterday? You can tell me."

He bit Su Ye's earlobe and said vaguely, "I will never change."

Su Ye didn't say anything. He kicked Xi Yu lightly, turned his head and gently bit the tip of Xi Yu's nose, but Xi Yu took the opportunity to kiss him instead.

The photo album placed on the side of the sofa rolled down due to the actions of the two people. Xi Yu caught it with one hand while kissing Su Ye.

When the album was opened, it happened to be the page where Su Ye cut her long hair.

Xi Yu couldn't help but act up. "Did you also have short hair when you were in school? It looks really good. I want to see it, too. Can you show it to me?"

Su Ye blushed, closed the photo album and put it aside.
"When I was in middle school and high school, I had short hair. It was just a normal boy's hairstyle. Nothing fancy."

"Oh - but you were really beautiful in that photo just now. What was that hairstyle, a bob?"

Su Ye's eyes widened in astonishment, "Bro hairstyle?!"

Xi Yu coaxed him, "I'm talking about me, I'm the younger sister, and you're the handsome older brother, yeah."

Su Ye pursed his lips tightly, causing his cheeks to bulge a little.

After a while, Su Ye hesitated and asked softly, "Is it really a girl's haircut?"

He actually doesn't remember it very clearly. That time he just told the barber to cut his hair short. The barber did something with his own ideas and said that this hairstyle was very common in Europe.

Su Ye didn’t think it looked ugly. The only difference from long hair was that it was half as long, so he didn’t care much about it.

"I was just teasing you." Xi Yu touched the corner of Su Ye's mouth, "You look like the handsome prince in a fairy tale who was raised in the palm of the queen's hand."

Su Ye could accept this description more easily. He hummed and nodded.

"This kind of beautiful prince in the ivory tower." Xi Yu deliberately lowered his voice, "It is most suitable for me to press him on the throne and severely-"

Su Ye raised his neck and blocked Xi Yu's mouth in the most convenient and effective way.
When they separated, a crystal-clear thread came out from the corner of Su Ye's lips, which was licked away by Su Ye's tongue tip.

"Xi Yu, don't go too far." Su Ye glanced at him, "If you do this again, I will really be killed by you."

Xi Yu held back, with an innocent expression, "What did I say? I just wanted to see what my brother would look like with short hair."

Su Ye was helpless against Xi Yu's pestering. He sighed, retracted his legs that were pressing on Xi Yu, knelt on the sofa, straightened his body, raised his hands high and crossed them behind his back, held his long hair, and tried to lift half of it.

The slender, white neck was completely exposed, and because of Su Ye's movements, the thin neck bone was exposed, making her look very sexy.

The wide-collared knitted sweater revealed his beautiful shoulders and neck, and his skin was delicate with a faint pearl-like luster.

Su Ye estimated that this length was about the same as in the photo. Because of the action, he raised his hands, opened his shoulders completely, tilted his head slightly, and looked down at Xi Yu with his eyes lowered.
"That's about it. Probably."

Xi Yu felt his canine teeth itchy.
He didn't even know how teeth could feel itchy.

"Actually there isn't much difference, it's just cut in half. After half a year - well, it hurts!"

The long hair in her hands fell down, Su Ye bent her body slightly, and curled her shoulders. The soft collar opened slightly with this action, and her tight belly could be seen.

Xi Yu's gaze moved silently and naturally among them.

Su Ye quickly sat up straight, covering his neck with one hand and supporting himself on the sofa with the other hand. His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion, and he looked at Xi Yu with a hint of resentment and called out softly.
"Why are you biting me!"

Su Ye tried to tilt his head and take a look, and immediately saw a red mark between his fingers.

Xi Yu smiled arrogantly, revealing a little bit of his fangs, "I was born in the year of the dog."

Su Ye wanted to fight back, but after a long time he couldn't think of any effective means. In the end, he could only gently pull Xi Yu's ear bone stud, "How old is Yu Yu this year?"

"Yuyu this year..." Xi Yu answered fluently, and then paused for a very short time, "He is in the senior class."

Su Ye narrowed her eyes and glanced at him with a smile.

The sudden Christmas holiday passed quickly. Xi Yu and Su Ye both had work to do, so they said goodbye to Su Yun and Edmund and booked flights back home.

It was Su Lan who came to pick them up at the airport. Xiao Yang was handing over his work. When he heard An Sijia contact him saying that Xi Yu had run away, he was not surprised at all. The only thing he was worried about was that Xi Yu would not be able to find Su Ye and would directly go on a trip around the world in eighty days.

Sura was worried about Su Yun. After asking about Su Yun's condition, she remembered to ask why Xi Yu was there too.
Su Ye sat in the back seat, head down and said nothing.

Xi Yu responded calmly, "I went there to relax and find inspiration for the next performance."

Lidya Su was deeply moved, "Xiao Xi, you and Xiao Ye have such a good relationship!"

Su Ye's face was about to turn red, and Xi Yu stopped teasing him on purpose.

Su Lan still had to investigate the phone call with Su Yun, so she left after sending Xi Yu and Su Ye back to the "Meteor" program's co-host site.

An Sijia and Jiang Congfeng were waiting at the door, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xi Yu following Su Ye.

When Su Ye walked to the door, An Sijia asked with her head down, "Ye, can you still walk now?"

Jiang Congfeng didn't understand, frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

Xi Yu was beside him, bullying Jiang Congfeng, "Get out of here, little brat."

Jiang Congfeng clenched his fists and said, "I'm talking to my brother, what does it have to do with you?"

Xi Yu said lazily, "I am older than you now, please be careful about your words and actions."
As long as Su Ye likes it, he doesn't mind Jiang Congfeng calling him sister-in-law.

Su Ye didn't have time to open his mouth during the whole process as he was constantly interrupted. When he came to his senses, his face turned red.

Was this the atmosphere in Oril before?
That’s really amazing.

An Sijia ignored the fight between the elementary school chickens and told Su Ye about the current situation.

"There aren't many guests here. Many of them are rushing to attend other announcements and will only come back for the collaboration segment. You're not the only couple to leave, don't worry."

Su Ye nodded, "Sijia, Congfeng, thank you."

"Ye, your assistant told me earlier that you also have an audition this afternoon. Are you able to make it?"

Su Ye just then remembered that there was such a thing as the script directed by Kong Wenyan.

Su Ye began to get a little nervous, "It's still in time."

"Oh——" An Sijia seemed to have turned into the baby-faced captain of the past, "What about Xi Yu? What will be the arrangements for him in the future?"

Xi Yu raised his chin towards Su Ye beside him, "What a coincidence, I also received a script from the same director."

An Sijia gestured to the side and silently said to Xi Yu, "Awesome."

After Su Ye and Xi Yu confirmed the itinerary with the director of "Meteor", they went to the audition site in the car driven by Xiao Yang and Shen Meng.

Kong Wenyan's audition for "Shakugan" will be much more low-key than Ji Ru's original "Book in the Belly", and will be conducted directly at the predetermined filming location.

Su Ye took a look and said, "There are so few people here. I thought we would have to queue up."

Shen Meng followed beside him and whispered, "Director Kong only invited actors to this audition. There is no open selection."

After hearing this, Su Ye started to get nervous again.

Internal auditions mean that the director is fully confident about the script and has a clear idea of ​​the selection criteria for the actors. In this case, the number of actors invited to audition is small, but they are top-notch, and all of them are people who have been screened by the director in advance.

Su Ye was recommended by Ji Ru. Although Director Kong Wenyan trusted Ji Ru and Ji Ru trusted Su Ye, Su Ye did not trust himself very much.

Director Kong Wenyan seemed to have very high requirements for this movie. The script that Su Ye got from Ji Ru before was just a rough outline, and they only got the detailed script after they arrived at the set.

Su Ye looked through it quickly and carefully.

It's a campus-themed movie with two male protagonists. The male protagonist he is going to play is called "Bai Hui", a 17-year-old sophomore in high school who comes from a single-parent family and has suffered domestic violence from his father for a long time.

Su Ye forced himself to read the plot word by word.

The other male protagonist is called "Guyang", who is Bai Hui's classmate and friend, and is the role that Xi Yu was invited to play.

Xi Yu had to go to the assistant director alone, and was worried about Su Ye, so he stayed for a while longer.

Before leaving, Xi Yu asked Su Ye in a low voice, "Is this possible?"

Su Ye didn't want to waste time because of himself, so he tried to smile and said, "It's okay, go ahead."

Xi Yu looked at Su Ye carefully and said, "Shui Shui, remember, I am right beside you."

There were five actors auditioning for the role of Bai Hui, including Su Ye. Two were newcomers who had graduated from professional schools, and two were actors who already had a body of work.

The venue was set up in a dilapidated relief house. The walls of the corridor were mottled, revealing dirty gray putty. It smelled of dust and raised dust with every step.

With every step Su Ye took, his body became stiffer, as if wrapped in something heavy and sticky. The voice of Shen Meng beside him seemed to reach his ears from a long distance.

"Brother, we're here."

Su Ye didn't say anything, but cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.
