Xiao Yang is stuck again.

Because he was not sure whether he should welcome Su Ye with tears in his eyes, or stop Su Ye cautiously.

After all, since the higher-ups went through so much trouble to keep Su Ye by their side but never showed up, they probably didn’t want Su Ye to find out about all this.

After a little hesitation, Xiao Yang decided to take a detour.

He couldn’t figure out what the other person was thinking, and he was not in good condition right now, so it might not be a good time to meet him.

“That patient’s mental strength is very unstable. Mr. Su is still——”

“I know.” Su Ye interrupted Xiao Yang, which was rare, but a hint of hesitation and uncertainty suddenly appeared on her pretty face, “But I… I seem to be divided.”

“What?” Xiao Yang suspected that he didn’t understand what Su Ye meant.

Xiao Yang was stunned, but he finally noticed something unusual.

There was a cool breath in the air, vague and ethereal, as if the dew on the pine needles had turned into ice crystals.
Under the ice crystals, a faint scent of white roses emerges.

Su Ye raised his head and looked straight at Xiao Yang.
“I’m like a guide.”

In the underground research institute, the doctors were running around in a panic.

Xi Yu’s irregular mental frenzy has become commonplace here, but after Xi Yu went berserk again last night, for some reason, the peak value dropped in the short term and even tended to stabilize.

An Sijia, who led the medical team, was shocked when she saw it.

There was no other reason, the sentinel’s mental power fluctuated in this way. It was very similar to being comforted by a guide.

Although we didn’t understand why, it was a good thing and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, near dawn, Xi Yu’s mental power fluctuated again, and the fluctuation was huge, catching everyone off guard.

“Doctor An.” A nurse walked in from outside the monitoring room and had a brief conversation with Scarlett Ann.

An Sijia opened her eyes wide, “Really?”

The nurse nodded.

“It’s just a coincidence.” An Sijia sighed, “Then let’s give it a try.”

Su Ye was led by Xiao Yang to the “other building” that Xiao Yang mentioned.

But when he really arrived at the so-called “detached building”, Su Ye discovered that, in comparison, the building he was in was more like a true detached building.

Xiao Yang seemed very nervous, without his usual cleverness and tact. He kept looking back at Su Ye along the way, and occasionally made a sad expression, which looked a lot more genuine than before.

The truth had been exposed, Xiao Yang returned the phone to Su Ye, and Su Ye called Su Lan immediately.

Xiao Yang was walking in front, and Su Ye, holding the phone, followed silently until they stopped in front of a large room at the end of the top floor.

The call was quickly connected at the same time.

“Xiao Ye?!”

“Yes, Sister Lan, it’s me.”

Su Lan’s voice came from the phone, sounding anxious, and she only relaxed a little after getting Su Ye’s response.
“Where are you now? I’ll get someone to pick you up right away!”

Su Ye hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m in the sanatorium.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Lidya Su spoke again, “What kind of sanatorium?”

Su Ye didn’t know the address, so he gave a brief description.

Su Lan on the other end of the phone felt something was wrong the more she listened, “What sanatorium? It sounds like——”

Su Ye didn’t hear the second half of her sentence.

Because the door of the room in front of me was half-open, the voices from inside could be heard outside.

Out of politeness, Su Ye stopped in front of the door, but his ears pricked up uncontrollably.
Then, a voice was heard.

It was the voice of Anle, whom Su Ye had seen before, and it sounded like he was relieved.

“Mr. Xi, let me confirm again, are you willing to be matched with the guide this time? The Xi family has already prepared a list, and if you are willing, you can meet them at any time.”

Xi Yu leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes looking out the window, no one knew what he was looking at.
“Ah.”

Anle seemed to be afraid that the other party would go back on his word, and his tone was unable to conceal his excitement, “Are you sure?”

“I am sure.”

Xi Yu turned around, and Su Ye outside the door heard the sound of some paper documents being rustled.

“Great, you finally figured it out. Is this the person you are looking at?” An Le said with emotion, “Mrs. Xi has been trying to persuade you for so long, but you still won’t give in.”

Xi Yu lowered his head and looked at the documents in his hand. “It’s time.”

“Indeed.” Anle nodded, “We can’t delay any longer. It will be most helpful for you to find a suitable guide as soon as possible.”

Xi Yu didn’t say anything else and just said “hmm”.

But his eyes were gentle as he looked at the documents in his hand, as if he was looking at the lover dear to his heart.

Su Ye’s hand, which was already on the door, seemed to be scalded and he quickly pulled it back.

Unknown emotions rose up and climbed densely into his heart, clamoring wildly and twisting unwillingly.

The result of this emotion was that before he could react, his hand had already opened the door.

Anle turned around in surprise.

Xi Yu, who was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, raised his eyes, and his dark eyes fell on Su Ye. He paused for a moment, then moved his eyes away and looked at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang’s scalp tingled, and he immediately wanted to explain, “This is——”

“You want a guide?”
That emotion was like a sharp blade, splitting Su Ye’s rationality.

He strode forward and grabbed Xi Yu’s wrist before Xi Yu could say anything, his handsome face flushed with blood.

“Why are you here?”
Xi Yu frowned slightly, his expression cold and distant.

Anle and Xiao Yang had already retreated tactfully.

Su Ye ignored Xi Yu’s words. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it took a lot of determination to break through.

“Are you looking for a guide, Xi Yu?”

“Yes.”

Xi Yu agreed readily and in a natural tone.

Su Ye’s heart sank uncontrollably, and he murmured to himself, “How could you?”

“Why can’t I?” Xi Yu asked calmly, “Give me a reasonable reason.”

Su Ye searched and tried hard to think of everything, but found that he could not come up with any reasonable answer.

But as his anger rose, he almost subconsciously shouted out the most unreasonable words.
“You were with me before!”

After shouting, Su Ye’s whole body seemed to be frozen and he couldn’t make another sound.

“With you?” Xi Yu frowned. “When?”

Su Ye remembered what Xi Yu said at that time: “This is my dream.”

The feeling of heartache is unbearable, but even stronger than the heartache is an extreme sense of panic.

He didn’t want to lose Xi Yu.
I don’t want to see Xi Yu standing next to someone else.

Xi Yu was still looking at him with his eyes downcast, his brows slightly furrowed, obviously waiting for Su Ye’s answer.

Endless emotions enveloped Su Ye, making him feel sore and swollen. “That wasn’t a dream, that was me, and I kissed you at that time.”
After Su Ye finished speaking, he closed his eyes, made up his mind, and his face flushed red. Without caring about the consequences, he closed his eyes and kissed Xi Yu regardless.

This was too impulsive. Rather than a kiss, it was more like he had bumped Xi Yu’s head.

As a result, not only did he fail to knock Xi Yu down, he himself was unable to stand steadily and was swaying, requiring Xi Yu to lend him a hand to hold him up.

Su Ye closed his eyes, waiting for Xi Yu’s judgment.

“.puff.”

After a while, he heard a muffled laugh.

Su Ye was stunned and heard Xi Yu say, “Shui Shui, lower your head.”

Su Ye opened his eyes in confusion and lowered his head.

There were documents scattered all over the floor. He saw his face on the documents. It was a standard photo of himself with shorter hair, smiling at him gently.

“This is.”

“The guide I’m looking for.” Xi Yu put away his previous cold and hard look and said in a gentle tone, “How is it? Are you satisfied now?”

Su Ye’s face flushed belatedly.

“You… you were pretending? Didn’t you say it was a dream—”

Xi Yu interrupted Su Ye and put his arm around her waist, “I can clearly distinguish between dreams and reality, unlike you.”

Su Ye asked, “What do you mean?”

Xi Yu twirled Su Ye’s bangs with his fingers and asked, “You don’t have a fever anymore?”

Su Ye immediately understood what Xi Yu meant.
That fever-reducing patch.

Su Ye stammered, “What, that’s not me. That’s me…”

Xi Yu maliciously interrupted Su Ye’s final struggle, “I didn’t expect my brother to be so proactive.”

Su Ye stopped talking, staring down at the documents on the ground, his face as red as fire.

“So, Shui Shui, are you willing?”

Su Ye was so embarrassed that she almost burned with embarrassment, and refused to say a word, but she groped to hook Xi Yu’s little finger with her fingers, and held it in the palm of her hand, refusing to let go.

After a moment, Xi Yu finally waited for Su Ye’s answer in silence.

“.I do.”
–
“I am willing.”

After reading these three words, Xi Yu released his index finger on the tablet screen and his eyes drifted towards his side.

“Huh? Why did you read it again?”
A doubtful voice came from the side, the tail end of which was light and gentle like snow.

Su Ye sat beside him, with the quilt covering her lower body tightly. A part of her slender, snow-white waist was exposed, and the upper part was largely covered by her loose light blonde hair. Her shoulder blades were slightly protruding due to his movements, hidden underneath.

In order to see the words on the tablet more clearly, Su Ye kept leaning towards Xi Yu, almost pressing down on Xi Yu’s bent right leg, and carefully and attentively identified the characters on it.

Those light golden, mist-like hair floated in the air, brushing against Xi Yu’s fingertips that were pinching the corner of the tablet.

Su Ye’s shoulders were slightly flushed, which looked very beautiful against her fair skin.

Xi Yu couldn’t help but be thankful that the air conditioning in the room was turned high enough.
“I said, I am willing to do so.”

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. He leaned his elbows on Xi Yu’s knees, bent his back, and laughed softly.
“Why are you so into the role?”

Xi Yu didn’t care, he played with Su Ye’s hair with his fingertips and said very seriously: “I do.”

Su Ye knew Xi Yu’s character. Her ears turned red. She stared at the tablet screen without responding and quickly changed the subject.

“How come it’s gone? It was so hasty.”

“Yeah.” Xi Yu tapped the screen and exited the document titled [Deep into Xi Su 1v1 Sentry]. “But it’s not bad.”

Su Ye agreed, but was more curious about why Xi Yu would praise someone for the first time, “What’s good about it?”

“The two paragraphs where you took the initiative.”

Su Ye’s hand quietly pinched Xi Yu’s thigh under the quilt. He pinched it very gently and did not use any harsh force at all. After pinching it, he also touched it soothingly.

Xi Yu grabbed Su Ye’s hand with his backhand.
“But there is still a big gap between the fan fiction written by fans and reality.”

Su Ye tilted his head, and the mole at the end of his eyebrow rolled out from under his hair, “For example?”

Xi Yu lowered his eyes slightly and stroked Su Ye’s fingers.

“For example, when you knew I didn’t have a guide, your first reaction must have been pain, not anything like ‘joy’.”

Su Ye has a high level of empathy and often perceives others more than his own emotions.

He feels sorry for others, but rarely feels sorry for himself.

In Xi Yu’s impression, the only time Su Ye burst into anger and felt truly miserable for himself was when his memory was restored.

In Xi Yu’s sight, Su Ye was still staring at the tablet, his chin resting on Xi Yu’s knees, and he made a “hmm” sound, his eyes fixed on it.

The light from the tablet was cold, but Su Ye’s face was a little red.
“You are so stupid.”

Xi Yu’s palm felt slightly itchy. It was Su Ye, whose fingers he was pinching, who lightly scratched his palm.

“I will feel bad, but I can’t control the luck in my heart. Then I will feel bad for you, but at the same time I will feel despicable and shamelessly approach you again.”

Su Ye’s voice became a little softer, lighter, with his unique voice.
“Because you are Xi Yu”

The five years of cold wind in Geneva could not stop Su Ye’s determination to return to Xi Yu.

Su Ye spoke in a low voice, as if talking to himself, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was hesitating, but also as if he was cheering himself up.

Xi Yu had seen this expression before.

In the photo album that Su Yun gave him, Su Ye was sitting on a bench in Pearl Park on the eve of his return to China. He heard Su Yun say “You go back”, and this was the expression on his face.

Perhaps it was because he was too obsessed with Su Ye for those five years, Xi Yu would always wake up in the middle of the night and look at Su Ye’s quiet sleeping face, recalling Su Ye at that time, and repeatedly guessing what Su Ye was feeling at the time.

Are you hesitating whether to come back?

Is it that if Su Ye had changed his mind a little, perhaps now, five years later, they still have not met again, and one is still looking at the quiet night of Geneva, and the other is looking at the cold and starless sky?
Even thinking of this possibility, Xi Yu’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.

Su Ye is now the same as he was then, showing the same expression as then.

Xi Yu has become accustomed to Su Ye confusing time from time to time.

Su Ye’s body was in the present, but his mind drifted to the past, and all the scenes appeared clearly in his mind.

The regrets and gaps between the two of them will always be filled by various wonderful coincidences.

As it is now.

Xi Yu looked at Su Ye’s profile, and then saw Su Ye sitting on the bench in Pearl Park at that time, frozen in the moment of the photo.

The hesitant expression gradually disappeared. Su Ye’s clear and gentle eyebrows were still as beautiful as ever, but suddenly there was an extra layer of very touching look.

It’s a determination.

This time, across the long distance of a foreign country and the passage of time, Xi Yu heard Su Ye’s true thoughts at that time.

As always, never changed.

“As long as Xi Yu is still here, I will definitely stand by his side.”
