back today, get some rest early.""It's fine!" Lu Shuo said softly.He then turned his head to Lu You and said, “Didn’t you want to go outside and see the lanterns”Lu You quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"...In the end, Ye Bai still sent her back.

It's probably a matter of perspective.

The atmosphere in the car between the two of them was different, subtle and hard to describe, something only those who had experienced it could understand.

The car pulled up to Lu You's villa.

Lu You was just about to open the car door when she discovered that the car was locked. She turned her head to look at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai watched her silently: "It's cold outside, I drove the car in... Xiao Luhui isn't here anyway This way you don't have to worry about me being in contact with her too much and affecting her childhood."

This rhetoric, back and forth, is actually a bit of a test.

Lu You lowered her head and said, "You don't need to beat around the bush."

Ye Bai chuckled softly.

Rare delight.

Lu You vaguely remembered that not only her, but also Ye Bai hadn't laughed sincerely for a long time. He used to smile a lot. Thinking about this, she unconsciously looked at him for a while longer.

The next second, her hand was grabbed and placed on his face.

The car's heater works well.

His handsome face was very warm, with a pure masculine scent... Lu You wanted to move away, but Ye Bai wouldn't let her.

He clutched her hand, pulling her closer until she tumbled into his arms.

His voice was unprecedentedly hoarse: "I won't beat around the bush, you'll never admit that you like me... Lu You, liking me has become something you can't bring yourself to say, is it"

He understood her so well, yet he made her feel embarrassed.

Lu You's eyes were slightly moist, she turned her head away and said in a soft voice, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Ye Bai's voice was a little raspy: "Lu You, you know what I'm talking about. You just don't dare to admit it."

He didn't say any more.

But, he leaned down and kissed her on the nose.

As night fell and the streets grew quiet, the car's interior remained a dimly lit haven of warmth. ...In the end, Ye Bai still drove inside. As Lu You got out of the car, he put his jacket on her, fastening it tightly: "Don't catch a cold!"

Lu You was treated gently by him, she was powerless to speak words of resistance.

"Ye Bai, our relationship hasn't changed at all!"

He was still smiling gently: “I know, we’re just physical now!” After that, he opened the car door and got out, then walked around to her side and opened the car door for her.

When Lu You got out of the car, she looked up and met Ye Bai's gaze.

His eyes were deeper than the night.

……

Lu You went upstairs and, after a long while, heard the sound of a car leaving downstairs.

She walked out onto the balcony.

She was still wearing Ye Bai's deep-colored wool coat, long and warm... In the pale mist of the night, she watched the black sports car disappear.

The taillights slowly drove away, leaving the black gate.

Suddenly, the car came to a halt.

Ye Bai got out of the car and leaned back against the door, watching Lu You. They couldn't see each other's faces, but they knew the other was looking at them...

Lu Yu's nose felt sour, an indescribable feeling.

Although they had feelings for each other, their relationship was like the thin fog on this night, appearing and disappearing, coming and going... She had also lost the courage to go all in.

Lu You took out her phone and dialed Ye Bai's number.

Far away, Ye Bai bent down from the car to take out his phone. His voice was hoarse yet gentle as he spoke to her:

< Come on in! It's cold out here. >

Lu You murmured, "You don't have a coat."

Yè Báixīn's hair was soft, he hummed in response: "Okay! I'll go back first, get some rest early."

Lu You watched him get into the car and watched him drive away.

At night, she dreamed again, dreaming of the days they lived in the apartment.

Took out my phone and looked, it was less than 4 AM.

Yè Bái sent her a WeChat message, it was a photo... He made a handmade hammock for Xiǎo Lù Huì, and it was already finished, placed on the balcony of their apartment.

Lu You looked quietly, her heart softening.

But she didn't reply to his messages, nor did she relent and say they should get back together. They just coexisted, neither warm nor cold, neither friendly nor distant.

They have rarely been seen on public dates or attending events together.

Most of my free time is spent at that apartment.

Eating and sleeping.

Couples who live together are very frequent with such things. Lu You and Ye Bai only see each other about every four or five days, but every time he clings to her for three or four times, as if trying to make up for those blank days.

Several times intensely…

Lu You's slender body, drenched in sweat, lay on Ye Bai.

Her fingers, gently caressed his chest.

That shipwreck, it still left behind so many small wounds. Ye Bai didn't speak but she guessed that he must have had multiple fractures back then. Her voice was husky with the aftertaste of intimacy: "Does it still hurt"

Ye Bai caught her hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

After a long time, he leaned in and kissed her: “It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

The two held each other silently.

Although they didn't speak, it was different from before... The floor-to-ceiling windows remained uncovered, with snowflakes fluttering in.

The room was dimly lit, Lu You remained motionless.

She whispered, "It's snowing! In just a few days it will be New Year's!"

Ye Bai reached out and took a velvet box from the bedside table, placing it in Lu You's palm.

She looked up at him, but didn't move.

He opened it with one hand, revealing a stunning blue diamond ring from Tiffany & Co. Its brilliance was mesmerizing.

He whispered, "It was auctioned off a few days ago, 9.9 carats, meaning long and enduring love. Try it on and see if you like it"

Lu You extended his middle finger.

But the ring size, clearly for a ring finger... The moment it slipped on, both of them fell silent.

After a moment, Lu You curled her fingers: "It's best to take it off! It's not appropriate."

But Ye Bai rolled over and gently pressed her onto the bed.

Her hand, adorned with a diamond ring, rested by her pillow. Black strands of hair fell across her face, revealing skin that was luminous and translucent, more dazzling than any diamond.

Ye Bai held her hand tightly.

He was very gentle, his breath like silk winding across her face. Lu You could see the look in his eyes... every time he wanted something, he would wear that expression.

She was somewhat surprised.

They've only been here twice, how come... he thought about it again

He couldn't resist any longer; he held her body close, merging completely with her.

Ye Bai was in bed, not as she had imagined.

He is very taciturn.

When she was in a good mood, she had many tricks up her sleeve. When she wasn't, she would torment him mercilessly... Lu You often found herself physically drained and weak in his arms. Sometimes, she truly felt like they were lovers having a secret affair.

Outside the window, snowflakes fall endlessly.

The indoors are filled with the warmth of spring.

Ye Bai pressed against her, his tall nose gently brushing hers. His voice was hoarse: "I have to fly abroad tomorrow."

Lu You woke up from the excitement.

Her glistening eyes hadn't yet regained their composure from the previous confusion. She reached out to gently touch his thin cheek, hesitated for a long time before finally asking: "Are you going to see her"

Ye Bai knew that if he saw Gina, she would probably kick him off the bed right now.le of the night and meet Zhang Chongguang.Lu Shuo knocked on the door.Zhang Chongguang came to open the door. Compared to Lu Shuo, he looked much too haggard.Lu Shuo propped one hand against the doorf...
