The sick beauty became popular after she brought her ex to the show

Su Ye and Xi Yu walked in the corridor, one in front and one behind. Xi Yu looked at Su Ye's worried back and rarely chose to tease him.

After asking that question, Su Ye's smile slowly disappeared. Rather than being in a bad mood, it seemed more like he was lost in memories and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Even though Xi Yu had heard some things about Su Ye's childhood from Su Ye before, it was still just a general idea. Xi Yu guessed that Su Ye was unwilling to recall too much, or as Su Ye said, he could not remember much.

At first, Xi Yu wondered if Su Ye chose to avoid the topic, but Su Ye's reaction at that time was definitely not fake, and he also believed that Su Ye would not hide anything from him unless it was necessary.

It seems that I have really forgotten some of my childhood memories.

Xi Yu thought about it carefully in his heart. Su Lan said that when she took Su Ye away, Su Ye was still in elementary school. He was still young, and when he encountered something like this, he might have subconsciously rejected it, which led to the loss of his memory of this period.

This memory is Su Ye's lifelong nightmare.

Xi Yu guessed that the part about Su Ye not telling him about quitting the group was also related to this childhood memory.

He thought of Su Ye's overly abnormal reaction in the previous baby show, and then thought of the "stress" that Xiao Yang mentioned casually, and felt a little uneasy.

Kong Wenyan's "Shakugan" may very well become the key for Su Ye to recall this childhood nightmare.
But whether this key would help Su Ye solve his problem or make him emotionally confused again, Xi Yu was not sure, nor did he dare to take the risk.

"Xi Yu?"

Su Ye was in a state of confusion. After walking out of the meeting room, he was almost completely immersed in his own world. Because he was thinking about some overly heavy things, he walked hurriedly and only came to his senses halfway through the walk. The distance between him and Xi Yu had widened greatly.

Su Ye stopped, suppressed the depression lingering in his heart, and waited for Xi Yu with a smile.
"I'm sorry. I was distracted."

"Don't apologize." Xi Yu took two steps over, held Su Ye's hand, and felt a little relieved.

Xi Yu didn't mention the script again, but he couldn't help but think of today's press conference.

Lin He's suppression of Su Ye has almost been made public, and he is becoming more and more unscrupulous.

"Lin He is very anxious."
Su Ye spoke and just said what Shi Yu had concluded in his mind.

Xi Yu thought that those who said Su Ye was stupid were totally wrong, extremely wrong.

Su Ye is just a little confused about small things, but he is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is surprisingly sharp in some aspects.

"Yeah." Xi Yu nodded. "Aunt Ji's status in the film industry is so high that the risk of offending her is too great. But Lin He still tirelessly uses these little tricks. It seems that he is really panicking."

Su Ye's fingers were wrapped by Xi Yu, feeling warm.

Xi Yu's hands are long and beautiful, with some thin calluses on the inside of his fingers from practicing musical instruments. They are definitely not soft, but Su Ye likes them very much.
This made him feel very at ease, as if he was really standing here, next to Xi Yu.

Su Ye unconsciously and gently held Xi Yu's hand tightly and pondered for a moment.
"There is only one emotion that could make him so anxious."

Su Ye and Xi Yu looked at each other and said in unison, "Fear."

Obvious, yet still puzzling.

"I still don't understand." Su Ye thought for a while, "At least from what I know, there is nothing on me that can threaten Lin He."

Xi Yu's expression was a little gloomy.

When people are anxious, they will do many things emotionally.
In the past, they just manipulated public opinion and made minor moves. Today, they bought off the media and tried to force Su Ye to embarrass himself by asking questions.

What about next time? What tricks will Lin He use next time?
Lin He is a man of great cunning and scheming. Anyone who can reach a high position must have very different methods. Xi Yu can't help but worry about Su Ye.

"You said before that Lin He hinted that you should not mention the withdrawal contract to others."

Su Ye nodded, "Yes."

Xi Yu added: "The contract itself is definitely not what Lin He is afraid of, but since Lin He mentioned this, it means that what he is afraid of is more or less related to the contract."

Xi Yu turned his head to look at Su Ye. Su Ye's eyes were slightly lowered, and he looked like he was thinking.

"Shuishui, do you have any idea about the contract?"

Su Ye's lowered eyes flickered for a moment, quickly, but was accurately captured by Xi Yu.

"The terms of the contract are harsh, but there are no particular problems." Su Ye replied quickly.

Xi Yu looked away and didn't ask any more questions.

There must be something in that contract that Su Ye was unwilling to mention. But judging from Su Ye's reaction, Su Ye seemed to think that this point had nothing to do with what Lin He was afraid of.
Or rather, it seems to have nothing to do with each other.

"Shui Shui."

Su Ye responded immediately, with a gentle but hurried smile on his face, "Hmm?"

"I am patient." Xi Yu looked at him and smiled, "So you don't have to think too much. Just tell me when you are willing to talk about it. It's okay."

Su Ye was slightly stunned by this smile.
Xi Yu was too attentive and could always see through his emotions at a glance.

The heat from his fingers continued to flow, and Su Ye nodded solemnly, "Okay."

Su Ye felt completely softened.

Xi Yu is not an impatient person, but he is very arrogant at heart. If he wants to know something, he will definitely find a way to know it. If not, he will just throw it aside and not bother to deal with it.
But such people said they would wait for him to speak first.

Su Ye unconsciously faced up to the many concerns that arose from his overly cautious mind and wondered whether they were really necessary.

He used to think too much, even to the point of bypassing his teammates to make decisions for them. Judging from the results, his choice was right, but it still makes people feel uncomfortable.

Maybe he should really do as Anscarlett said, stop worrying so much and try to rely on others.

"As for Lin He, I'll ask Xiao Yang to ask my sister to keep an eye on him."

Su Ye laughed, "Sister Xi Niao will definitely make fun of you again."

Xi Yu didn't care. "Everyone has their own expertise. When you need help, just ask for it. I'm not as good as my sister in this area, so it's normal for her to make fun of me."

Su Ye has always liked Xi Yu's casualness and straightforwardness. He is arrogant, but he never pretends to be strong.

"I also asked my aunt to check on Lin He recently..."
"Teacher Su!"

With a bang, the door of the lounge where Su Ye and Xi Yu happened to pass by was pushed open, and the stylist who had been in charge of their makeup in the past few days rushed out.

Su Ye was startled and immediately withdrew his fingers that were clasped with Xi Yu's. Xi Yu deliberately gave him a meaningful look.

But the stylist seemed to be in a very intense mood and didn't notice the two people's little movements at all.
"Teacher Su, were you talking about Lin He just now?"

Su Ye and Xi Yu paused at the same time, "Yes, we were just talking about Lin He, what happened?"

The stylist's face was very red, as if he was excited and the blood was rushing to his head.
"It's that senior executive of Xingli, right? He was the one who kicked me out for my dirty tricks and spread rumors in the industry to ban me!"

Both of them felt their hearts skip a beat.
It’s Linhe again.

Su Ye's thoughts started to race, and he reached out and patted the stylist's shoulder to calm her down.
"Don't get excited, speak slowly, it's okay."

The stylist nodded, but there was fire in her eyes.
"Didn't I talk to Teacher Su and Teacher Xi before? It seems that what happened back then was a shady affair."

Su Ye nodded to indicate that he was listening.

"After I heard what my friend said, I was so angry that I tried to contact my colleagues at the time to see if I could find out anything. Then I unexpectedly heard that Lin He was in charge of the list of interns who were converted to regular employees! Later, the rumors about my mistakes at work were also spread at his instruction!"

Xi Yu said calmly, "Are you sure?"

The stylist nodded and said, "I am sure that the seal from the company's HR department is Lin He's seal!"

Su Ye was unable to quickly sort out the relationship between these things, but he had a hunch that anything related to Lin He would not be simple.

He nodded and comforted the stylist for a while, and the stylist's emotions finally stabilized.

Back in the suite, Su Ye frowned slightly, "It's Lin He again, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Xi Yu answered straightforwardly, "It's probably not a coincidence."

Su Ye understood what Xi Yu meant.

He thought, "Although Xingli's interns are very popular in the industry, they are not that important to the company. The assessment and selection of interns is not something that the senior management needs to worry about."

Xi Yu nodded. "The assessment is supervised by people from a special department. Although Lin He is a senior executive, he knows nothing about makeup and styling. The assessment of interns has nothing to do with him."

But it's so strange that not only did he get involved, but he also got involved.

"What the modeling teacher said about being kicked out by Lin He is probably true."
Su Ye came to a conclusion and became confused at the same time.

Why does Lin He always target those people who don't seem to pose any threat to him at all?
Even Su Ye himself, with all the power of Xingli back then, was not enough to threaten Lin He, not to mention a mere intern who might not even have seen Lin He.

"We have speculated before that the styling teacher's resignation might be related to you." Xi Yu said.

Su Ye agreed, "Well, the facts seem to be true, otherwise there is really no reason."

"Since it's related to you, it's very likely what Lin He is afraid of now."

Su Ye thought carefully, and her beautiful eyes drooped as usual.

"It's related to me, and it caused the styling teacher to be squeezed out of the regular position."

After thinking about it, Su Ye could only think of one related point.
His fingers unconsciously touched the back of his head and gently pressed on the scar on the back of his head through his long hair.

".My scar?"

As soon as he said it, Su Ye found it a little funny.

What does it have to do with his scar? Compared to this, it would be more convincing to say that Lin He came here to pave the way for his nephew Shu Ling.

But contrary to Su Ye's expectations, Xi Yu actually nodded.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking of."

Su Ye couldn't help but frowned, "It's just a scar, it shouldn't be that serious, this is too weird——"

"But other than your scar, there is no other connection between these two things, Shuishui."

Su Ye stopped talking and had to admit that Xi Yu was right.

But he was still confused.
"This is just an accidental injury from childhood. What does it have to do with Lin He?"

And even if there was a connection, it was just a wound, there was no way to trace it. And so many years had passed, even Su Ye himself hardly remembered these things.

I was confused and puzzled, and Xi Yu was even more confused.

But Xi Yu instinctively believed that there would be no coincidence in this matter.

"Lin He is a very careful person, and he does things very thoroughly, as you can see from the incident when he tried to persuade you to quit."

Su Ye had to agree with Xi Yu.

Lin He was indeed very careful in his work. When he persuaded Su Ye to withdraw, he found a perfect reason. At the same time, for the development of the company and the new members, he set the conditions that Su Ye was not allowed to appear on camera or have any contact. He also added a compensation for leaving the group, and everything was perfect.

Such a thoughtful person will not allow any unexpected "coincidences" to occur when doing things, because any unexpected event may lead to collapse.

"He wouldn't do anything without a reason." Xi Yu made the final decision.

Su Ye nodded involuntarily, and when he heard Xi Yu's voice again, he was unexpectedly cautious.

"Shuishui, can you remember anything else about this scar?"

Su Ye smiled at Xi Yu and calmed down to think about it carefully, but that memory always seemed to be shrouded in fog and he could not recall the exact events.

After a while, he shook his head, his voice a little low.
"I still can't remember. I can only remember what I told you. The rest is what happened after I woke up in the hospital."

Xi Yu was already feeling distressed, so upon hearing that, he sat down on the edge of the bed, grabbed Su Ye's wrist and pulled her over, letting Su Ye sit astride his legs, and then he put his arms around Su Ye's waist.
"It's okay, don't worry about it for now."

After all, Su Ye had not been close to Xi Yu for many years, and this sitting posture made him feel ashamed. He was also tall, and sitting astride Xi Yu was a little unstable, and Xi Yu was holding his waist, so in order to be more stable, he was forced to hug Xi Yu's neck.

Su Ye whispered: "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore, then can you..."

"No." Xi Yu's voice was domineering, and he hugged Su Ye's arms a little tighter.

Su Ye was helpless, but he couldn't deny that his heart was beating uncontrollably.

This sitting posture made Su Ye look like a child, but to be honest, Xi Yu who was hugging Su Ye at this moment was actually more like a unreasonable child.

This made Su Ye feel even more ashamed.

He is two years older than Xi Yu. Although the age difference is almost zero, he is still the older one.
But every time it was him who was pinned down and demanded. The younger man pressed on his shoulder blades, causing Su Ye to go limp uncontrollably.

I can’t think about it anymore. Su Ye’s ears feel slightly hot.

"hiss!"

Su Ye twisted her waist and couldn't help but shrink back, almost falling backwards, but was caught steadily by Xi Yu.
"Xi Yu! Stop scratching me."

"Yeah." Xi Yu buried his whole body in Su Ye's chest, "Shui Shui, what are you thinking about?"

Su Ye grabbed Xi Yu's shoulder with one hand and stroked his hair a little uncomfortably with the other hand, "Thinking about what happened just now."

There was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and Xi Yu raised his head from the arms of Su Ye, who was forced to sit astride him. His black hair was disheveled, but his handsomeness increased instead of diminishing. With a hint of evil, he looked at Su Ye from bottom to top.

Su Ye felt that he could not bear it any longer and struggled to get down.

As soon as she raised her legs, Xi Yu grabbed her ankles, pushing her trouser legs up a bit. His hands clamped her graceful, snow-white ankles, forcing her into an even more unspeakable position.

"Wow, Shui Shui, I'm holding you, and you're actually thinking about someone else?"

Su Ye's slender five fingers grabbed Xi Yu's clothes and wrinkled them, "Stop it and put me down."

Xi Yu said nothing and reached his hand downwards.

Su Ye's slightly bent back straightened immediately, but his head was still lowered, and the ends of his hair trembled in the air.

A whimper from deep in Su Ye's throat came out, and his neck suddenly rose up.
He had no choice but to give in, ".I'm thinking about you, I'm thinking about you."

Xi Yu smiled, his evil nature becoming stronger, "Really? Let me confirm it."

Su Ye frowned awkwardly, his five fingers almost clasping Xi Yu's shoulders, and his voice already had a tiny tone that he couldn't restrain.

He resisted and refused to obey, "How can I confirm this?"

Xi Yu raised his head to kiss Su Ye, and as he kissed her he spoke, making a wet sound, his voice vague, "Brother, you can't do that, can you? I'll teach you."

The piece of clothing on Xi Yu's shoulder was almost deformed by Su Ye's fingers, rubbing and kneading it, looking so pitiful.
Xi Yu didn't care about the clothes at all, his eyes were only on Su Ye.

Su Ye looked much more pitiful.

The lips, which originally had a bloody color, were rubbed into a dogwood color. After every uncontrollable hum, Su Ye would bite his lower lip tightly until Xi Yu came up and let go.

The pure white coat fell to one side, the light grey turtleneck sweater was rolled up a bit, the snow-white waist was covered with a layer of luster, it was straightened uncontrollably, the dimple on the waist appeared from time to time.

"Xi Yu. Xi Yu"

Su Ye tried to hold back his voice from distorting, and changed his hands from grabbing Xi Yu's shoulders to pushing Xi Yu hard.

Xi Yu maliciously let go of the other hand that was around Su Ye. Su Ye's whole body shook, and the hand that was pushing Xi Yu quickly took the initiative to hold Xi Yu.

"Ask a question."

Xi Yu suddenly let go of his hand.
Su Ye's five fingers relaxed, then suddenly tightened, rubbing Xi Yu's shoulders with dissatisfaction.

"Please answer, contestant Su Ye, which fingers will develop calluses due to guitar practice?"

Su Ye lowered her head, the corners of her eyes turned red, the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked embarrassed as if she was about to cry, but also revealed a bit of disbelief.
"Xi Yu."

Xi Yu smiled seriously, "Hmm? Contestant Su Ye?"

Su Ye was still sitting astride a horse, and his lower back felt slightly cold, but this chill was insignificant. Another burning sensation made him dizzy. He felt anxious and ashamed, and could not say what he wanted to say.

Su Ye, with unspeakable emotions, gently shook Xi Yu, but Xi Yu remained unmoved.

"Contestant Su Ye, please answer quickly."

Su Ye lowered her head, her hair was so beautiful that Xi Yu was full of admiration.

".I don't practice guitar, so how would I know." A faint red color appeared deep in Su Ye's skin, vivid and beautiful, and his voice was shaky.

Xi Yu deliberately said in a dissatisfied voice: "How can I not know? Then I have worked in vain."

Su Ye released his strength and slumped in front of Xi Yu, resting his forehead on Xi Yu's shoulder. His voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet it carried a rare kind of anger, which sounded adorable.
"Xi Yu, why are you so annoying?"

Xi Yu felt that he had made real progress. He was able to endure the excitement for so long just to make Su Ye say something.
"Answer me quickly, Shui Shui."

Su Ye's shoulders hunched slightly, like a frightened cat.

Xi Yu pressed his canine teeth against the tip of his tongue and spoke excitedly, "Hmm?"

Su Ye scratched Xi Yu's back with his fingers and turned his head slightly on Xi Yu's shoulder. The sound was so close that Xi Yu could feel the warmth and scent of cedar brushing against his face.

Su Ye's voice was pleasant, ethereal, and filled with shame and anger.
"Then you. Then let me try again."

Xi Yu loosened his tongue, his peach blossom eyes slanted slightly, "Well, since it's Shui Shui's request, I'll make an exception and let you cheat."

A slight whimpering sound came from his shoulder, as if it was extremely embarrassing. Xi Yu felt Su Ye scratching his back lightly.
This should leave some marks.

Xi Yu was very satisfied.

Under Xi Yu's guidance, Su Ye not only figured out which fingers would grow calluses, but also learned more specific details.
For example, where will the callus be located and what will it feel like when the skin is touched.

In the end, Su Ye felt like he had melted into a puddle of water, while Xi Yu was still tirelessly repeating those words in his ear that made him curl up into a ball.

The soft sofa in the living room was in a mess, and the neat and soft coarse velvet carpet was wrinkled by Su Ye, and the top of the velvet reflected spots of light.

"I believe it now. Shui Shui really misses me."

Su Ye was leaning in Xi Yu's arms. Upon hearing what he said, she reached out to pinch Xi Yu, but her fingertips didn't have much strength at all, neither light nor heavy. In her heart, Xi Yu deliberately distorted it and understood it as flirting.

"Thank you brother for caring about me." Xi Yu picked up the tired Su Ye horizontally and smiled with his head down.

Su Ye's pair of soft and narrow eyes were half open. She had no strength at all. And because of the trouble caused by Xi Yu, her sense of shame had been alleviated a lot.

Hearing this, he glanced at Xi Yu and said, "Then why don't you feel sorry for me?"

"Oh——" Xi Yu stretched out his voice, "So Shui Shui wants the kind that hurts."

Su Ye opened his mouth and wanted to imitate Xi Yu and say something, but in his mind he could not think of the embarrassing words that Xi Yu would say.

Su Ye thought about it over and over again, but still felt unwilling to admit defeat, so he decided to challenge Xi Yu. However, just as he opened his mouth, his throat started to itch and he coughed twice.

Xi Yu immediately hugged Su Ye tighter and walked towards the bathroom.

He lowered his head and kissed Su Ye's forehead.
"I want to hurt you, but you're too tired today, so I'll hold back for now."

Su Ye swallowed the words he had prepared to argue with the other person, feeling secretly annoyed.
How could Xi Yu control him so well?

".Um."

"But Shui Shui hasn't exercised much in the past few years. Her waist has become thinner, her muscles have been reduced, and her physical strength can no longer endure."

Su Ye turned his head away, thinking that Xi Yu was still Xi Yu, he knew how to control people and knew exactly how to embarrass people with words.

Xi Yu's voice was artificial and distressed, "What should I do?"

Su Ye tried to tone down his satisfied voice and let himself have some of the calmness that an elder should have, "I'm old, there's nothing I can do."

Xi Yu wanted to laugh, but was afraid of angering Su Ye, so he tried his best to hold it back, but his bad habit of speaking was hard to endure.

"Are you old? If you've been like this for five years, then in another five years, won't your waist be weak and your legs lazy?"

Su Ye actually thought about it seriously, "Well, if I don't exercise, it might be like this in the future."
He paused, "Do you hate it?"

Xi Yu lowered his voice and heard Su Ye's heartbeat skip a beat.
"How can I hate it? It's better to have a flexible body. You can do any posture. The legs can be folded to the chest, the waist can be pressed to the knees, and the arms--"

Su Ye couldn't bear to listen any longer, her voice rose, and a blush appeared on her face. It was unclear whether it was out of anxiety, shame, or anger.
"Okay, don't say any more!"

Xi Yu yawned again, with an innocent expression, "Shui Shui was mad at me, I didn't do anything."

Su Ye ignored him and said to himself, "Then I'd better go exercise."

"Okay." Xi Yu nodded immediately, "It feels elastic when you pinch it, and it feels——"
"Xi Yu!"

Su Ye felt that in his twenty years of life, he had rarely shouted and yelled so rashly, and the few times he did so, it was basically all caused by Xi Yu.

Xi Yu stopped when he saw that he was ahead, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't say any more. If I continue, Teacher Su will scratch me."

Su Ye is a steady person by nature and gentle on the outside. He has never been so angry in front of outsiders, and all his anger was given to Xi Yu.

The dark grey bathtub was already filled with hot water, with a layer of steam rising from it. A hint of bluish purple floated on the surface, which was the essential oil from the bath ball.

Xi Yu put Su Ye in. Su Ye's skin was snow-white, like a bright pearl against the dark gray marble.

He leaned over and kissed Su Ye again, this time the kiss was much more intense, and he let go only when Su Ye was almost out of breath.

Su Ye was a little short of oxygen. Half of his body was lying on the edge of the bathtub, gasping for breath, his fair skin pressed against the dark black marble tiles.

Xi Yu stared at him and brushed away her loose hair.
"Shui Shui."

Su Ye's slightly wet eyelashes moved slightly, "Hmm?"

"No matter what you become, I like you."

The blue-purple essential oil on the water surface flickered, and the crystal particles refracted a little rainbow light, making Su Ye's eyes look sparkling.

The fragrance spread everywhere.

Xi Yu took off his clothes, entered the bathtub, sat next to Su Ye, leaning lazily on the countertop, his neck slightly raised, his eyes looking at Su Ye.
"No matter you are fat or thin, exercise or not, sick or not, have secrets or not, I will always love you."

Su Ye's beautiful eyes slowly curved, amber in color, like a gem.
"What if I'm old?"

Xi Yu smiled slowly, his peach blossom eyes were deep and handsome.
"When you are old, your hair is white, your back is hunched, and you have wrinkles, I will still like you."

He grabbed Su Ye's hand and said, "What can I do? I can't help but dislike you. Even if you don't like me anymore, I will still think of you secretly in a despicable way. I think of you during the day, at night, in my dreams, when I write songs, and when I hold concerts."

Xi Yu lowered his eyes and gently kissed Su Ye's fingers.
"Shuishui, I'm an arrogant loser. Are you willing to look down at me?"

Su Ye blushed, but couldn't help being moved by Xi Yu's words, and her heart was burning with anxiety.

Xi Yu is always very straightforward and frank without any scruples.

After they met again, Xi Yu seemed to become more straightforward, as if he knew that people like Su Ye particularly needed affirmation, and he always patiently expressed his feelings over and over again.

"Xi Yu." Su Ye murmured softly, "How can I help but dislike you."
