"He's here." Yu Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, looked behind him, and smiled ambiguously.

He stretched out his hand towards Xu Ruibai who was looking around, "Ruibai, here!"

Ye Jia turned around and saw Xu Ruibai walking towards them through the dim light. He squinted his eyes and dared to take a closer look. Xu Ruibai didn't seem to be in a good mood. With a smile, it dilutes the sense of alienation.And the expressionless look at this moment, without the softness, under the impact of the light, it looks more stern and silent.

"Do you think he came to pick me up or pick you up?" Yu Zhi raised his chin, he drank a few more glasses, his face was flushed, his eyes were a little blurred, he looked like a very drunk beauty.This coquettish demeanor made him, an Omega, have to bow down.

Before Ye Jia could answer this question, he heard Xu Ruibai's voice above his head, "Ye Jia, let's go."

It was rare for Ye Jia to see Xu Ruibai's indifferent voice, as if it came through the gentle mist, passing through the tavern where the wine was mixed, and the babbling Japanese ditties, he couldn't help shivering.

He can be sure that Xu Ruibai is angry.

Yu Yi was not so surprised. He didn't know if he didn't feel it or he was used to it. He just smiled and pointed to the sake pot in front of Ye Jia, and said lazily, "Don't be so anxious, the wine in front of Xiao Jia is still there. I haven't finished drinking yet."

Xu Ruibai stared at Yu Yi silently, completely different from the intimacy two years ago, those eyes were devoid of warmth, let alone warmth, not even emotion.

Ye Jia felt that he drank a little too much, or that he was influenced by Yu Yi. At that moment, he actually saw swords and swords passing by, but it was only for a moment. In the blink of an eye, what he saw was the same The familiar Xu Ruibai is gone.

He picked up the jug in front of Ye Jia and drank it all in one gulp, "It's finished now."

Yu Yi's eyes were burning, and the alcohol in his eyes had faded a little, but his smile was still there. His straight back and stretched neck showed that he had put on a wartime state. He said half-truthfully, "You are willing to put Am I left here alone?"

Xu Ruibai didn't answer, but he didn't intend to give in either. In just a few seconds, an undercurrent surged.Ye Jia just watched them coming and going, but didn't say a word.He is not a fool either, knowing Yu Yi's actions, Zuo just wanted to use him to win some affection from Xu Ruibai.Although he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others, he has no old hatred with Yu Yi, "Rui Bai, he drank a lot."

As soon as these words came out, the two were taken aback and looked at him one after another.Ye Jia was flustered by the sight, and stroked her hair in embarrassment.

In the end, Xu Ruibai took a step back, "I'll help you get a taxi."

Yu Yi snorted softly and smiled contemptuously, "It's really boring. You go, I will go back myself."

"Yeah." Xu Ruibai didn't show any politeness to him, he pulled Ye Jia up and walked out.

Ye Jia looked back at him with concern, but didn't want to meet Yu Yi's eyes.Yu Yi didn't expect that he would turn back, and before he had time to clean up his emotions and put on his bluffing mask again, Ye Jia could see the bleak and dilapidated look on his face.

It turned out that under the splendid scenery was actually such a broken wall and ruins, full of desolation.

Yu Yi knew that there was no room for change, so he simply let the king watch it magnanimously, but such a rather self-defeating gesture made him feel helpless.Yu Yi smiled dejectedly, and softly shouted behind him with unknown meaning, "Xiao Jia, please do your best."

Ye Jia felt Xu Ruibai's footsteps paused, but he didn't stop, and walked out the door.

Coming out of the tavern, Ye Jia realized that it was dusk, half of the sunset was red, and the other half was already dark.The evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing away the sweltering heat of the afternoon, Ye Jia unconsciously took a deep breath and relaxed his body.

"Why are you two together?" Xu Ruibai asked.

"His company is next to my dormitory."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Xu Ruibai cursed in a low voice, "fuck"

Ye Jia didn't have time to delve into the meaning of this, and couldn't wait to share her good luck with him, "Did you know that our company actually has a dormitory. The sister in personnel affairs forgot to tell me. If I knew it, I wouldn't have to fight with that landlord , and even entered the police station.”

"It's my first time entering a police station."

"Picking quarrels and provoking trouble is so funny."

Ye Jia smelled of alcohol, and his cheeks were reddish as he read brokenly.

Xu Ruibai was not bothered at all, and seemed to be in a better mood, curled the corners of his mouth, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You're drunk."

"I didn't, I'm just happy."

Xu Ruibai did not refute, but only asked softly, "Want to take a walk around?"

Ye Jia sometimes wondered if all the stories started with the ambiguous question "Do you want to go out?"

The tavern is built next to the lake, and it is a new scene after half a street.It's midsummer, the grassland is verdant and lush, the willows are tall and luxuriant, and the cicadas are singing in the deep green.The lights of thousands of houses are already on, and the lingering moon is shining in the center of the lake. For a while, the mist is shrouded, and the ridges of the roofs and the tops of the trees are all floating.

There were plenty of people by the lake, he and Xu Ruibai didn't speak, they just walked along the shore.For a moment, Ye Jia felt that he was about to fly up with the floating tree shadow.

Not long after, his alcohol dissipated a bit, Yu Yi's last smile appeared in his mind again, and he came back to his senses and asked Xu Ruibai, "What's wrong with you and Yu Yi?"

It turned out that the scenery was excellent, but this question spoiled the scenery completely, Xu Ruibai didn't want to answer, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

But how could the two of them allow this beautiful day to be in vain, Xu Ruibai said after a long while, "What is your ideal love like?"

Ye Jia's heart trembled for a moment, he didn't know whether it was the smell of alcohol or the heat, but he felt a little hot.This is the first time the word "love" has been mentioned since meeting Xu Ruibai, probably because the atmosphere is so suitable for talking about Fengyue that even Xu Ruibai can't help being moved by it.

Ye Jia racked his brains to say some shocking words, but Xu Ruibai's name was all on his lips.

——You are what my ideal love looks like.

Ye Jia traced Xu Ruibai's outline, and found two words to prevaricate, "calm and romantic."

Xu Ruibai smiled, "But I think that peace and romance are just because of not enough love. If you love too much, you will often lose romance."

"No one can live with violence all their lives."

"No, I'm just saying that the nature of love is violent, adventurous. Romance is kind of like burning."

"So, has anyone ever set you ablaze?"

Ye Jia's eyes were burning, corresponding to the brightness of the boundless moon.In Xu Ruibai's impression, Ye Jia's eyes were rarely so intense, but mostly evasive and shy.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the person in front of him actually had such bright eyes. When he stared at you, he didn't need to say anything to be as admiring as he was complaining.

Xu Ruibai lowered his head and approached him unexpectedly, and stopped abruptly when he was only a few feet away.The four eyes meet each other, somewhat ambiguous, and they all melt into the deaf-mute night.

Ye Jia didn't know where he got the courage, so he stretched his neck and kissed the corner of Xu Ruibai's mouth.He's bold and timid, so the kiss is so short it feels like it never started.

But before he escaped in time, he fell into Shuangxue's arms again in the next second.

When they kissed, everything burned.

It was the fragrance of roses that were not yet fully red, and it was a hot and fiery smell.

Sniffing carefully, it seems that you can still smell the top notes of ash.

Maybe it was love. At that moment, they met.
