Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 179 Ultimate Fall (1)

The contents of the cloakroom remain intact and have been there for more than three years.

In a large space of forty square meters, Xi Jinbai's clothes are on the left and Sang Yu's clothes are on the right, hung in an orderly manner in the cupboard.

Although the colors on the two sides are very different, the overall look is unexpectedly matched.

A ringtone pierced the quiet air.

Sang Yu took out his mobile phone from his bag and answered Xi Jinbai's call.

"Are you at the apartment?" he asked.

"Just arrived." Sang Yu came out of the cloakroom and returned to the bedroom.

There was a light smell of air freshener lingering in the room, mint, very refreshing.

Xi Jinbai: "Is the house clean?"

"Yeah." Sang Yu asked, "Have you ever been back here?"

Xi Jinbai said frankly, "I've been there twice."

One time was after separation, and the other time was after she left Hong Kong Island.

Most of the memories belonging to the two of them were in this apartment, and it was easy to get emotional, so he rarely came here.

Sang Yu didn't understand, "Why are you hiring someone to clean this place if you don't even come back?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back."

The warm voice came through the current wire, gently tapping the eardrum, and the touch spread to the apex of the heart.

He spoke with certainty, just like when she asked him not to wait for her when she was about to leave Hong Kong two years ago, his answer was also as firm.

——I said, I will wait.

He also means what he says.

It was late, already past eleven o'clock, Xi Jinbai asked her to take a shower and go to bed early, and ended the call after saying good night.

That night, Sang Yu had a dream, in which he returned to the time when he was twenty-two years old.

It was the first time she followed Xi Jinbai home. She had never seen such a high-end and luxurious apartment. It was completely different from her dusty world. This place was bright, elegant and luxurious, showing exquisite nobility everywhere. She continued I didn't know where to put my hands and feet for fear of soiling the soft Persian carpet on the floor.

At that time, she realized that she and Xi Jinbai were in two worlds, separated by an unbridgeable gap.

The aunt at home saw Xi Jinbai bring a girl back for the first time, and her eyes flashed with surprise, "Mr. Xi, this is..."

"Sang Yu, you will live here from now on." His tone was very calm, and there was no wave in his voice.

Her identity was not explained.

The aunt didn't ask any more questions, just nodded to the little girl.

She doesn't need to pry too much into her employer's private affairs, she can just do her part.

Xi Jinbai went back to the study to get a document, and before going out, he said to Sang Yu: "If you are still missing something, you can ask Auntie to buy more. She will take care of your food and daily life."

"Okay." Sang Yu was worried and asked in a low voice, "Then...where should I sleep?"

Xi Jinbai paused for a moment and quickly answered: "Master bedroom, the first one upstairs."

"Okay." Sang Yu squeezed his slightly damp palms.

Seeing the man getting ready to go out, she couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xi, are you going out at night?"

Xi Jinbai said "hmm" but said nothing else, his face remained cold.

Sang Yu pursed his lips and said, "Then be careful on the road."

The tall and tall figure strode away.

The security door opened and closed, making a "click" sound.

She looked at the door slightly absent-minded, her chest seemed to be filled with a ball of cotton, and she felt a lingering sense of loss. For five days in a row, Xi Jinbai didn't come back to the apartment.

The aunt didn't know where he went, but she just told Sang Yu: "Sir is very busy. He has to manage the company and travels frequently. He doesn't have much time at home. Just get used to it."

Sang Yu nodded absently, nervousness still fermenting uncontrollably in his chest.

Especially at night, my whole heart is hanging because I don't know when he will come back.

A transaction between adults, she understood.

He helped his mother find the best hospital and doctor, so she should repay him, but she was not completely mentally prepared yet.

I was lying on the bed tossing and turning with my worries hidden in my heart, unable to fall asleep.

The man's scent lingered on the quilt and pillow, a light pine wood scent, with the smell of forest and sunshine, it smelled very good.

Before I knew it, it was almost twelve o'clock, and sleepiness gradually came over me. I closed my eyelids and just fell into a light sleep.

"Click——"

The door was suddenly opened, and the sound of slow footsteps came from far away.

Sang Yu vaguely heard movement, broke away from his sleep, slowly opened his eyes, and was surprised to find an additional figure in the room.

Through the soft, warm yellow bedside lamp, I can see the man's face clearly. The smooth and clear facial features are half hidden in the light. His aura is not as sharp as before, but has a looser look. The collar of his shirt Loosen two buttons to reveal a vigorous and tight neck line, with a sharp arc of Adam's apple, which invisibly bursts out strong hormones.

Sang Yu sat up from the bed, blushed unconsciously, his ears felt a little hot, and he timidly said: "Mr. Xi..."

"Yeah." His voice was very light.

Xi Jinbai casually threw the suit jacket in his arms on the footrest at the end of the bed, and continued to unbutton his cufflinks and watch.

"You've been drinking." Sang Yu smelled the smell of alcohol in the air, which mixed with the scent of pine in the bedroom. The temperature rose inexplicably and enveloped everything.

Xi Jinbai nodded and walked straight into the bathroom.

Not long after, the sound of pattering water could be heard inside, which was particularly clear in the quiet environment.

Sang Yu woke up completely, her heart pounding, and the sounds in her ears kept disturbing her brain.

Thinking of what might happen soon, her cheeks burned and her skin became flushed.

It was as if there was an airtight net surrounding her, making her breathless and her chest stuffy.

After being in a daze for a while, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on her slippers and left the room.

Ten minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

The man came out of the bathroom covered in moisture. He was wearing a bathrobe with an open collar, loose and lazy. The ends of his hair were not dry, and a few drops of water fell under the collar, adding a bit of male sex appeal.

Sang Yu stared at him blankly, his whole heart lifted, and his heartbeat frequency was abnormal.

Compared to her embarrassment, Xi Jinbai's eyes were cold and unfathomable, and his emotions were not revealed at all.

Their eyes briefly met in the air. Sang Yu lowered his eyes first, picked up the water glass on the bedside table and walked towards him. He said in a low voice: "Mr. Xi, do you want to drink some honey water?"

Xi Jinbai took another look at her. The girl was wearing a set of blue pajamas. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing a fair and slender arm. The veins on the back of her hands were slightly raised, betraying the nervousness in her heart.

He took the cup and took two sips.

Sang Yu retracted his hand, dropped it to his side and held it tightly.

The atmosphere was quiet, and the sound of breathing was amplified.

"Go to bed early." Xi Jinbai said calmly, then walked out.

Sang Yu stood there blankly and subconsciously called him, "Mr. Xi."

Hearing this, Xi Jinbai stopped and looked sideways.

Sang Yu's heart tightened, and he blushed and asked softly: "You... aren't you going to sleep here?"
