Chapter 585 Long
The moon quietly climbed up into the night sky.

Under the moonlight, a couple without mobile phones lay side by side on the balcony railing and looked at the sky.

If you were somewhere else, now would indeed be a good time for a date.

But now, the two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about anything related to business.

Just like that, after gazing for an unknown amount of time, Xu Xiyu suddenly exclaimed, "It turns out that the capital also has such a starry sky."

"Maybe we are not in Beijing at all now." Hu Ningwei shook her head and then said, "Do you still remember the song "Starlight Amusement Park" you wrote when we played together in Chimelong last time?"

"I pray that the stars will not go out tonight~~I promise in my heart to be with you forever~~"

"Why did you stop singing after two lines?"

"I want to hear you sing. Come to think of it, I haven't heard you sing yet." Xu Xiyu turned his head and looked at Hu Ningwei.

"I don't sing well."

"It's not like you're holding a concert, just sing to me, it doesn't matter whether it sounds good or not."

"Ahem~~ It's like... oh, I'm sorry... I won't sing anymore."

"Then sing along with me, just like stars falling to the ground~~a colorful twinkling world~~" Xu Xiyu said and started.

"The colors of the amusement park are like cards~~The carousel is taking us flying~~My hand makes you...you laugh at me?! I won't sing anymore!"

"I'm not laughing, I'm just so sweet by you that the corners of my mouth are raised~~"

"Tsk~~" Hu Ningwei rolled her eyes at him and didn't believe it at all.

Xu Xiyu also smiled when he saw this, then looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "When I was a child, my grandmother told me not to point at the moon, because if I did, the moon would cut off my ears."

"Is there such a saying?" Hu Ningwei asked in surprise.

"Yes, and they also said that you can't use an umbrella in the house, or you'll go bald."

"Hahahaha, so the baldness is caused by holding an umbrella in the house?"

"That's not it, baldness, it's actually a problem left over from my old age. Back then, it was really hot and really cold..."

"Ah?" Hu Ningwei was confused. Why did the topic jump around so much and was not related at all?
"Let me tell you a story about old age..."

Here, Xu Xiyu began to tell Hu Ningwei the stand-up crosstalk "Old Old Man".

On the other side, Captain Yuan was smoking a cigarette, looking at them from afar. Suddenly, he heard a sentence in his ear: "Captain, how many days do we have to guard him?"

"I don't know." Captain Yuan shook his head.

Just then, a landline phone next to him rang.

After answering the call, a man's voice was heard. Captain Yuan listened with a serious expression, replied "I understand", and hung up the phone.

Time just passed by for a while.

Xu Xiyu on the balcony was talking until his mouth was dry, but when he turned around and looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the room, he found that only 20 minutes had passed.

"Is the life without a mobile phone so long?" After complaining, Xu Xiyu said to Hu Ningwei, "I'm going to take a shower. Let's go to bed. It's already very late."

"Yeah." Hu Ningwei nodded. She also felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't really because she didn't have a cell phone, but because she didn't know what was going on outside.

The unknown always makes people anxious.

Hu Ningwei could sense the deep anxiety beneath Xu Xiyu's appearance that he was still in the mood to tell jokes.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but said to Xu Xiyu who was about to enter the bathroom: "Xiyu!"

"What?" Xu Xiyu stopped and looked back at her.

"It's okay, I'm here with you."

"Yeah." Xu Xiyu nodded with a smile, and then went into the bathroom.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, his expression changed. Looking at himself in the mirror, he continued to take deep breaths, and his hands holding the towel kept clenching, clenching, and clenching again.

Six hours have passed since Ivy left. Six hours is neither long nor short, but it is enough time for a lot of things to happen.

What’s worse is that I don’t know how long I will stay here!
after an hour……

After washing up, the two people lay on the same bed wearing T-shirts and sports shorts taken out of the suitcases.

There was no hugging, nor any other intimate behavior. They just lay side by side under the air-conditioned quilt.

The lights have been turned off.

The two of them also closed their eyes.

But none of them were sleepy.

There was no trace of sleepiness at all.

On the wall, the hands of the old-fashioned clock were moving "tick, tick, tick", and it seemed particularly clear in this quiet atmosphere.

After walking around in circles, Xu Xiyu finally couldn't help but turned sideways and pulled Hu Ningwei into his arms.

A sound of swallowing saliva was heard, and with his back to Hu Ningwei who was curled up in Xu Xiyu's arms, he whispered, "This... this place is not suitable, let's go out and... let's not wait until we get married, okay?"

"I'm not thinking about that." Xu Xiyu shook his head, and then buried his face in Hu Ningwei's hair and rubbed it, and said softly: "Luckily you are with me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Ningwei realized something, and her body, which had been tense due to being hugged, instantly relaxed.

She gently stroked Xu Xiyu's arm around her waist and said softly, "It's okay. Maybe we can leave tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xu Xiyu nodded, and as he spoke, he held Hu Ningwei's hand even tighter.

The room suddenly became quiet again, with only the "tick, tick, tick" sound of the wall clock continuing.

The two of them slowly fell asleep amid the sound of needle movement.

I don't know how long I slept. Xu Xiyu opened his eyes in a daze with inaudible noises. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to fumble for his phone at the bedside. But after a while, his hand paused and he realized that his phone had been taken away.

Hu Ningwei also woke up because of his action and asked in a dazed voice: "Hmm~~ What time is it?"

"It's 7 minutes past 9." Xu Xiyu squinted and looked at the wall clock.

"Only 7 points?"

"Well, you sleep a little longer." Xu Xiyu said as he turned over and sat up. He kept his head down for a few minutes before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom to wash up.

When he finished washing up and came out, he found that Hu Ningwei had also gotten up.

Half an hour later, the two went downstairs together.

As soon as they arrived at the lobby, they saw Captain Yuan standing there and said to the two of them with a smile, "Did you sleep well? There is breakfast in the restaurant, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and porridge. I just called over. Eat it while it's hot."

"Thank you." Xu Xiyu responded with a polite smile, and then took Hu Ningwei to the restaurant.

But before he had taken two steps, he heard Captain Yuan say, "Oh, by the way, Ms. Hu, pack up your personal belongings after you finish eating, and we will take you back right away."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Ningwei and Xu Xiyu stopped at the same time, and then turned around in unison to look at him.

"What about him?" Hu Ningwei asked tentatively.

"He can't leave yet." Captain Yuan shook his head.

"why?"

"No reason. We originally invited Mr. Xu, and you were just here by the way. Now, you can leave." Captain Yuan nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Looking at his departing back, Xu Xiyu's emotions became a little out of control. He didn't sleep well last night and had a lot of messy dreams the whole night.

So he quickly took two steps and asked, "Captain Yuan, how long do I have to stay here?"

"I don't know." Captain Yuan stopped and replied, then nodded to Xu Xiyu and left.

"I won't leave!" Hu Ningwei shouted. She didn't dare to think about how helpless Xu Xiyu would be if she left!
When Captain Yuan heard this, he just smiled and said, "Call me when you're done."

"I said, I'm not leaving!"

This time Captain Yuan did not respond, but walked out on his own.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Hu Ningwei turned to Xu Xiyu and said, "Xiyu, I won't leave. I want to stay here with you!"

After hearing this, Xu Xiyu took several deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and then gritted his teeth and said, "No, you have to go."

"I……"

"Don't worry about me." Xu Xiyu interrupted, then winked at her and emphasized again, "Follow the instructions, let's go."

Hu Ningwei was no longer stubborn, and her big eyes were full of worry.

And this worry, half an hour later, turned into tears leaning against the car window.

Sitting in the car, Hu Ningwei watched Xu Xiyu, who was standing in the yard, smiling and waving, getting farther and farther away from her.

Finally, she couldn't help but punched the car door and yelled with tears in her eyes: "What did he do wrong? Hasn't he been bullied enough by others?!"

This cry received no response.

Hu Ningwei continued to question with red eyes: "He just wants to do his own thing, what's the problem?!"

"Speak!"

"You guys talk!"

"Ms. Hu, please calm down. We are protecting him." Captain Yuan, the co-pilot, explained helplessly.

"Why do you want to take his cell phone away to protect him?"

"He's too good. It's already chaotic enough outside, so he'd better not get involved. Don't worry, we have a regular schedule here, and the food is good. Maybe he can get better health."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Ningwei's expression froze, and then she slowly calmed down.

On the other side, Xu Xiyu, who was in the yard, found a chair and sat down after Hu Ningwei's car left the yard.

daze.

Been in a daze.

He sat there for the entire morning, and someone called him to have lunch. He finally came out of his daze and said the first words since Hu Ningwei left: "What's your name?"

"My last name is Gao, you can just call me Lao Gao."

Such conversations continued to be heard in the yard throughout the afternoon.

"Your name?"

"My last name is Ma."

"Your name?"

"My surname is Wu."

"My last name is Shi."

"My surname is Cheng."

Time passed as Xu Xiyu greeted the surnames of these ten or so people.

It was another starry night. Xu Xiyu lay on the railing, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. For the first time, he felt confused.

This day was the longest day he had ever spent since he came to Blue Star.

And this long, second day, is still going on.
