linked to the collar

After all, she let him go, stared at him in a daze above him, her mouth was full of bitterness, and the helplessness in her heart could only be turned into a long sigh.

"Xiao Ran...why don't you want to trust me? I really don't want to interfere with the affairs of your shop...I just...don't want others to see your sleeping face." He reached out his hand and brushed away the hair on Xiao Ran's face. "Xiao Ran, don't even think about leaving me, okay?"

"Even if it's just like before, it doesn't matter if you don't love me, as long as we continue to live like this, I'm willing."

"I just want, you are always in my eyes."

"Xiao Ran, I'm afraid that one day you will suddenly leave like you did two years ago. I haven't heard from you. I can't find you, and I can't find you..."

"Xiao Ran, I will definitely not make a mistake this time, and I will not let you leave me again."

Xiao Ran was stunned, Bai Ye, you don't even give me time to catch my breath, do you?

It doesn't matter whether I agree or not, and you don't really want to hear my decision, you've already arranged everything for me, right?

Bai Ye, you have always been tough, and you were the one who pulled me into that vortex of desire.If you had relaxed your hands a little bit at the beginning, maybe I would have broken free, maybe we would not have reached such a doomed situation at that time, right?

The reunion this time is the same, you have always been in charge, from going to the father-in-law's house to celebrate birthday, to the opening of Qingfengzhai, until now living in your house... Bai Ye, you made the arrangements for me, I, wholeheartedly Do I feel like a joke when I feel independent?

He slowly closed his eyes.

That being the case, Bai Ye, what decision do you want me to make?

Can I escape?

Bai Ye finally calmed down a bit, stretched out his hand to help Xiao Ran sit up, and helped him comb his messy hair and messed up skirt.He knew that he should have frightened Xiao Ran just now, but he was not going to admit his mistake or explain anything.They will live together for a long time in the future, Xiao Ran should know the truest side of himself.

There is a reason why he, Bai Ye, can be called a demon star and evil star...

"Drink some water?" He asked Xiao Ran to lean on the bamboo couch, took a cushion and put it behind Xiao Ran. "Don't get angry with me because of such a thing. If you think I'm taking too much care, I'll ask them to move out for you. But, you have to promise me that you won't fall asleep on this bamboo couch again."

Xiao Ran just smoothed out the wrinkles on the cuffs by himself, neither raised his head nor responded, and didn't even look at him.

Bai Ye didn't speak, and sat beside him quietly, as if accompanying him.

After a stalemate like this for quite a while, suddenly Xiao Ran's shoulders were heavy, and looking back, Bai Ye put his head on the socket of his shoulders. "What are you doing again!"

"Xiao Ran, you didn't sleep last night, okay? Don't be angry, take advantage of the fact that there is no one, and rest for a while." Bai Ye put his arms around Xiao Ran's waist, and slightly pressed down on Xiao Ran to lie down. "Sleeping together, you have two black circles right now, and you don't know if others think I'm abusing you. Let's talk about the bamboo couch when you wake up, shall we?"

Xiao Ran was so suppressed by Bai Ye that he couldn't move, and he wanted to struggle again, but when his eyes went dark, the man actually covered his eyes with his hands.

The warmth in Xiao Ran's ears is Bai Ye's breathing; the warmth behind Xiao Ran's back is Bai Ye's embrace.Because of the warmth, Xiao Ran really felt sleepy, and gradually fell asleep.

When his breathing became steady, Bai Ye opened his eyes with clear eyes.He got up, gently placed Xiao Ran on the couch, and sat beside him, looking at him bewilderedly.

Xiao Ran... You don't really want to leave me, do you?It's just that I made you angry, those angry words of yours, right?

If I don't know that I love you, I will be at a loss, I will be sad, and I will miss you very much if you leave.

But now, I know I love you, and I... don't want to have another two years like that.

Back then it was you who loved me and I missed it, now it is I who loves you, don't you miss me, can't you?If you want fairness, if you feel uncomfortable, you can let me run after you, as long as I am with you in the ends of the world, I am willing.

But don't get out of my sight.

There were intentionally heavier footsteps at the door, and they stopped at the door of the small room. First, they tapped lightly on the wooden wall of the room twice, and then a pleasant voice came from outside the door. The severity of hearing. "Second Lord, Steward Liu just sent someone to bring news about that man that day."

"Well, wait for me to come out and say it." He took another look at the sleeping Xiao Ran, took out the cloak that was specially left in Qingfengzhai from the small box in the room, covered Xiao Ran, tucked it up, and then opened the curtain and walked out compartment.

When Xiao Ran woke up, Bai Ye was not by his side.He straightened his clothes, combed his messy hair a little, stepped out of the cubicle, and saw a few scholars in Qingfengzhai who were reading books raptly at a few tables, shopkeeper Liu and Shi Er were also sitting at the tables. While playing with Shuanglu, they all stood up when they saw him come out.

"Young master Xiao, are you awake? The second master has something to go out, and he has been gone for almost an hour." Shi Er went up to meet him, and said while helping Xiao Ran get the cloak he was folding.

Xiao Ran nodded, and Shi Er went on to say: "When you were asleep, Deyilou's empty words came, please go to Deyilou for dinner with Second Master, and Second Master agreed for you. But Second Master asked Shi Er and Young Master You said, if you don't want to go, Young Master, let Shi Er go to Deyi Building and push the invitation for you."

Xiao Ran thought for a while, then shook his head. "No need, I should go to the Deyi Building as well. The host Leng is so worried about the strange things we encountered, I should go thank him."

There was nothing else going on in the store, so Xiao Ran asked Shi Er to go back to Shuanglu with Shopkeeper Liu, and sat at the table with a book by himself.But after reading it for a long time, Li Ran couldn't understand a single word.

That cloak must have been covered by Bai Ye...

This cloak belonged to Bai Ye, and it is said that he used to like it very much and he has used it for a long time.Bai Ye is used to being pampered, and he is picky. Clothes and accessories are usually prepared for him by the tailor shop under Xuantianmen, and he can't say whether he likes it or not.But this cloak, I heard about it once, the cloak was embroidered by Mrs. Bai herself. I hope that Bai Ye, who is wandering outside, will be safe and sound.

Bai Ye has used this cloak for more than five years, so it must be regarded as his cherished item.

A few days ago, there was an autumn wind suddenly. When Xiao Ran went out that day, he wore less clothes. On the way back, he was shivering from the cold. Bai Ye took off the cloak he was wearing and gave it to him. After drying the cloak, he brought it to the store and said, keep it here for him to take a nap or when the wind suddenly blows up, he can use it.

Well, let's just give it to him.

Bai Ye treats him very well now, it's not like Xiao Ran doesn't know that, Li Xiao Ran actually sees everything Bai Ye does.

If two years ago, Bai Ye only enjoyed what he had done, but now, he carefully cherishes himself.

The feeling of being held in someone's hands is actually really good... Some people worry about their own temperature, whether they are hungry, hurt or sad, and they will consider everything for him. Now that Xiao Ran has died many years after Qionghua, Finally felt the warmth of people again.

But... Xiao Ran knew that there shouldn't be anything between them except brother-in-law.Regardless of love or hate, it should have ended two years ago. He left for two years, not to come back to continue such entanglements. He really thought... What's wrong with being as familiar and unfamiliar as before?

Bai Ye...

It's not that I don't love, but that I can't love.

He didn't understand back then, the mistakes he made, and he suffered the bitter fruit, so even though he had resentment towards Bai Ye, what was even more unforgivable was falling in love with himself, who is also a man.

Bai Ye, Bai Ye, I want to understand, why are you stuck in it now?

Knowing what's wrong, knowing what's wrong, li xuan knows everything, but if he really wants him to push bai ye away...he can't do it.

he……

Even if he didn't say love or not, he still couldn't bear the warmth Bai Ye gave him that he was already familiar with.

Xiao Ran slowly covered his face with his hands, heh, look, he is such a despicable person too, using others' advantage to satisfy his greed.

He was afraid of being alone, he... couldn't let go of Bai Ye's embrace, couldn't let go of his kiss.What Bai Ye gave to himself was the proof of being alive, the "needed" he had been longing for all along.

What's more...

The corner of Xiao Ran's lips raised a smile that he didn't know whether it was self-relieving or self-deprecating.

Bai Ye, will you allow yourself not to love?Can he decide the relationship between them?

Whether he loves or not, is it really that important to Bai Ye?

That's right, he can't let him decide on this matter...

When Bai Ye came back, what he saw was Xiao Ran's ecstatic appearance, and he didn't even notice that he had walked in front of him.Bai Ye couldn't help scratching the tip of Xiao Ran's nose with his hand.

"What are you thinking, my mouth is drooling."

"Ah? No, I didn't think about it... What is this reclining chair?" Xiao Ran shook his head, and when he turned his head, he saw two men led by Kexie at the door carrying a new wooden reclining chair.

Bai Ye looked back, waved for them to move in, and pointed to the place where the bamboo couch used to be by the window. "Just put it there, it's cute, take a look." While speaking, he dragged Xiao Ran to the other side of the bookshelf.

"It's easy for you to sleep soundly on the bamboo couch. I don't want others to see you sleeping, but I don't want you to annoy me for such a trivial matter. So I bought a bamboo recliner for you to rest on. good?"

What he said was domineering at the beginning, but full of flattery at the end, Xiao Ran felt that if he held his breath because of this, he would be being stingy, so he sighed. "You...why do you have to do this..."

Bai Ye felt relieved when he heard the softening in Xiao Ran's tone. "Oh, as long as you're happy. It's almost time. You can tidy up. Let's go to Deyi Building."

"Ah."

"Put that cloak on in a while and go. It's windy outside. It's probably going to be cooler at night."

"What about you?"

"Hey, are you still worried about me? Our martial arts practitioners are in much better health than you, a young scholar, so you should take care of yourself first." Bai Ye was probably happy to hear that Xiao Ran cared about him, and looked around It happened to be a blind spot, so I leaned close to his ear and whispered intimately: "Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, if you were sick, would you lie on the bed obediently and let me hug you and feed you the medicine?"

Xiao Ran's cheeks were flushed, his eyes drifted away, and he pushed the laughing Bai Ye away with his hands. "Stop messing around... Don't talk nonsense like this. It's not good for others to see."

Bai Ye didn't agree either, and just looked at him with a smile, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary anymore.
