How could Ye Linyuan be so calm?
While lost in thought, he heard Tong Sui Nian’s voice outside the door. “Xiao Sui, how is Director Ye? I had someone prepare some hangover soup; could you open the door and get it?”
Through the thin veil, Tong Sui vaguely saw Ye Linyuan’s silhouette. He could almost imagine the way those dark eyes were fixed on him at that moment.
Seeing there was no response from inside, Tong Sui Nian pressed the door handle.
Tong Sui tensed up all over.
In the next second, he noticed the door handle was unresponsive, and Tong Sui Nian said, “Huh? Did you lock the door?”
Tong Sui hurriedly replied, “Brother, he’s already asleep. If you’re fine, don’t disturb him; I will take good care of him.”
Although Tong Sui Nian felt it was strange, two Alphas being together shouldn’t be an issue. Besides, Ye Linyuan’s character was known for being free of scandal, calm, restrained, and detached from the mundane world.
He said, “Oh, if you have any questions, remember to tell me. I’ll head downstairs first.”
Tong Sui replied, “Mm-hmm.”
As he listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, Tong Sui’s attention was once again drawn to Ye Linyuan.
As if to punish him for avoiding things over the past three days, Ye Linyuan’s skills were not only upgraded in cooking; places that shouldn’t have been upgraded had also seen improvement.
Tong Sui couldn’t help but bite his lip; Ye Linyuan would take the time to kiss him.
In the end, he dared only to open his mouth and let out a soft hum.
The curtains on the terrace were blown by the wind, flapping against the glass.
It wasn’t until dawn was approaching that things finally quieted down.
Tong Sui was so exhausted he could barely keep his eyes open; he didn’t even notice when the thin veil over his eyes fell away.
He leaned against Ye Linyuan and fell asleep, drowsily hearing Ye Linyuan say, “Actually, I knew from the start that you had someone you liked and approached me with a purpose, but I couldn’t bring myself to reject you.”
Tong Sui lifted his head, raising his eyelashes as he said, “Ye Linyuan.”
“Mm?” Ye Linyuan replied.
Tong Sui whispered, “I like you.”
“Good, I love you,” Ye Linyuan gently kissed his forehead. “Go to sleep now; it’s been enough for today.”
“No, I still have things to say.”
Realizing what Tong Sui was about to say, the system quickly interjected: [Hey, hey, hey, are you going to tell him again? Didn’t you say he has no memory and won’t believe you?]
But Tong Sui ignored the system.
He felt that if he didn’t express it, he wouldn’t know how to face Ye Linyuan.
“I like you, but the other person I called is also you. You might find what I’m saying strange; just think of it as me rambling.”
Tong Sui said, “In our last world, we were together until the end of our lives. So I’m very happy to have found you again after waking up. There’s no third party between us; you are still you. Even if we’re in a different world, you are still you.”
He gradually laid bare his feelings.
Ye Linyuan, who was quietly listening, fell silent.
He could see that although Tong Sui’s logic was a bit tangled, it wasn’t completely made up.
“Do you understand what I mean?” Tong Sui asked.
“Mm, I understand,” Ye Linyuan replied.
Receiving Ye Linyuan’s answer, Tong Sui felt like he could finally let go of the most troubling thought that had haunted him for the past three days. Because of this concern, he had been having all sorts of chaotic dreams.
Once the person in his arms was in a deep sleep, Ye Linyuan got up and walked into the bathroom.
He washed his hands and rinsed his mouth.
He tossed his dirty clothes into the washing machine, turned up the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, and made sure there were no lingering unwanted smells.
After doing all this, he opened the window leading to the terrace.
He sat alone on a wicker chair on the terrace.
At this time, the night gradually faded away, and the soft light of dawn fell on the dark branches, while the moonlight on the horizon dimmed, hiding behind the clouds.
His mouth no longer held any unpleasant taste, but he still felt a tactile memory on his hands.
Ye Linyuan really wanted a cigarette now.
The information he received from Tong Sui was almost as impactful as hearing him call someone else’s name.
So, the ex he thought about during this time was also him.
Ye Linyuan: “…”
He was feeling jealous of himself.
Just his past life.
Besides being thankful, he also felt a bit jealous as to why he wasn’t the first to make Tong Sui’s heart race, but then he thought that now he was the only one who could be by Tong Sui’s side.
Even if it were another version of himself from a different world, that was merely a thing of the past.
With this thought, he returned to the bedroom, gently wrapped Tong Sui in his arms, and bent down to kiss the top of his head.
His actions were incredibly gentle.
The system, which had been secretly watching everything, remarked: [……]
It was at a loss.
How can this even work?!
Would any normal person believe such words? Oh, he had almost forgotten; the villain’s reasoning couldn’t be included among normal people.
It had a vague premonition that it would soon witness a world of distortions.
Morning.
When Tong Sui was called awake, he frowned, covering his head with a pillow, his soft voice laced with a hint of complaint, “Ye Linyuan, it’s all your fault. I want to sleep.”
The light of dawn had already started to appear.
Ye Linyuan’s antics seemed endless, employing almost every means to rouse him.
Tong Sui’s ears were sensitive, and being coaxed by him made it hard for him to resist; he was so sleepy he could barely open his eyes, finally receiving permission to rest.
This also resulted in him having little time to rest.
He was carried to wash up, hardly even managing to open his eyes the whole time. Ye Linyuan even helped him change into his school uniform and shoes.
Both had stayed up late, but why was Ye Linyuan so full of energy?
Ye Linyuan whispered, “If you don’t mind being seen by others, I can carry you down.”
Tong Sui opened his eyes.
His expression, filled with both grievance and accusation, made Ye Linyuan’s throat roll. He held Tong Sui’s slender shoulder and pressed back against him.
