"only--"

Yuluo lowered his head to cover up the sadness that suddenly accumulated in her eyes.

"It's just your sister."

Suddenly, his jaw was pinched in his hand, and he was forced to raise his head and meet Ye Xiuchen's angry eyes.

"Is this your answer?"

His palm was very big, and he once wrapped around her little hand warmly, but now he was holding her jaw with one hand, tight and powerful, and he wanted to crush her fragile.

"What?"

Yu Luo didn't understand what he meant and asked in confusion, but it attracted his greater anger.

"You are so unsatisfied? Do you have to let me speak clearly? Or," he paused, and glanced at her mockingly, "You have never taken what I said and what I did to heart?"

"no--"

Yuluo wanted to explain, but he had already let go of the hand that had pinched her jaw and looked at her coldly.

"I don't have time to play with you. If you feel bored, go back by yourself."

The alienated and indifferent tone was familiar with Yuluo. What is familiar is that in the past fourteen years, he has almost always spoken to her in this tone, strange. In the past month after returning from a foreign country, she seemed to have become accustomed to his gentleness and whispers.

Habits are a terrible thing. When one habit is replaced by another, it takes a long time. However, once you adapt to the new habit, it is difficult to regain the old habits from the past.

Ye Xiuchen is like this when he is in Yuluo.

He used domineering and forcing to make her get used to it for fourteen years, but he also used tenderness and pampering to make her re-recognize him. When she was already trapped in the soft cage he woven for her, he destroyed it with his own hands again.

Looking at his back as he left resolutely, a well-dressed celebrity immediately pestered him. Yu Luo watched them and silently hoped that he would push her away in his heart, but he didn't.

At the luxurious and lively banquet scene, without him around, Yu Luo suddenly felt that she seemed to be redundant.

He said that if she wanted to go back, she would go back alone, but her legs seemed to have lost control. She didn't listen to her words, walked in the opposite direction from the door, found a quiet corner, and sat down silently. She told herself in her heart that she was just tired and wanted to take a rest, but her eyes couldn't help but follow the familiar figure.

Realizing how wrong his behavior was, Yuluo shook his head hard.

Her cheeks were hot, and she touched her forehead. She was so weird that she could not explain herself. Is she sick?

It's hot.

She took a glass of juice from the waiter tray passing by, lowered her head and took a big sip, took a deep breath, and then felt her heartbeat calming down slightly. She lowered her head and carefully recalled what Ye Xiuchen had just said.

Why is this happening? He even gave her roses on the way here just now, and everything was fine.

"Hey, look."

There was someone talking beside her, two women wearing luxurious evening gowns, with their heads squeezed together and lowered their voices and said something. Because it was not far from Yuluo's place, she could hear clearly what they were talking about without any effort.

"What do you see?"

"Look, is that Nie Shaotang, the president of Nie's family?"

One of the women pointed at the opposite side of the two men. Yu Luo was stunned and looked at them along their sights. On the opposite side of the hall, in the same corner, a man was sitting on the sofa for rest, drinking one glass after another.

From Yu Luo's perspective, the man's face was covered by his slightly long hair, but from his figure, he really looked very much like Nie Shaotang.

Has he come too?

"I don't look like it, have you recognized the wrong person?"

Another woman looked suspicious.

"I won't admit my mistake! Have you forgotten that I played with him a year ago. He was so handsome, romantic and rich at that time. Who knew that he would be so lonely in just one year. Nie was almost destroyed in his hands."

"Ah, I heard about Nie's situation. No wonder, the lonely young master is not as glorious as before, so it is normal to not recognize him."

"Oh, what a pity."

The woman sighed and pretended to be regretful.

Another woman pushed her: "Tsk, stop pretending. I heard that you have recently gotten into a big shot. Hurry up, tell me..."

The two of them quickly recovered from joy and left with a smile.

Yu Luo stood there in a daze, feeling shocked by the words of the two.

Nie, how could it be...

She had too many doubts in her heart, and wanted to determine whether that person was Nie Shaotang, and wanted to ask him if what the two women said was true.

Yuluo put down his cup, got up and walked towards the man sitting on the sofa in the corner opposite.

As he approached, a waiter passed by the man on the sofa and was caught by him.

"liquor."

The waiter bowed apologetically.

"Sorry, this gentleman, these wines were ordered by several guests over there."

"Bring it!"

The man did not say anything about robbing the wine from the waiter's tray, but the latter tried his best to persuade him, but he refused to listen.

"Smack!"

After several crisp sounds, the tray was knocked over, and all the wine on it fell to the ground, breaking the wine and glass all over the floor.

The waiter hurriedly squatted down to clean up, but the man grabbed the collar and pulled it up.

"I asked you to get the wine, didn't you hear it?"

Yu Luo finally saw the man's appearance clearly, rushed over and grabbed his hand.

"Shaotang, don't be excited, can you let go first?"

A familiar and distant voice suddenly sounded in my ears. Nie Shaotang's body stiffened and subconsciously let go. The waiter seemed to have grabbed the life-saving straw and quickly packed up the residue and left.

Nie Shaotang's body seemed to be nailed, and he didn't dare to look back, for fear that the shock just now would be his own hallucination.

Yuluo could hardly believe what he saw. The man in front of him was messy, the buttons on his chest were torn apart, and his hair seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time, and the side face facing her was full of stubble.

"Shaotang?"

Nie Shaotang only felt that every cell in his body was throbbing. He slowly turned his head and stared at the girl in front of him. She was still like that, as beautiful as she remembered, no, even more moving.

When she thought of whom did her changes bloom for, Nie Shaotang's heart hurt as deeply as if she had been stabbed by a needle.

After a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'm dreaming again."

He murmured, his body slumped on the sofa.

Yuluo was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. The fatigue and decadence on his face were something she had never seen before. She grabbed his hand blankly.

"Shaotang, what's wrong with you? Can you tell me?"

The touch from his hand was so real that a violent light burst out from Nie Shaotang's eyes. He suddenly straightened up and held Yu Luo's hand.

"Xiao Yuluo, is it really you?"

"It's me, but how could you become like this?"

Yuluo's eyes fell on Nie Shaotang. Without getting too close, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body.

He lowered his head and glanced at his outfit that was worse than a beggar.

"Xiao Yuluo, don't ask me, I don't want to say it."

Nie Shaotang's face was full of pain. He let go of Yuluo's hand, buried his face in his palm, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"I'm sorry, Shaotang, if you don't say it, I won't ask."

There must have been a lot of things that she didn't know about him, Yu Luo was a little sad. She never knew about it and did not help him.

After a long time, Nie Shaotang raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were greedily circling on Yu Luo's face.

"Xiao Yuluo, can I hug you?"

It took too long for her to be by my side, and it took too long for me to smell the faint fragrance on her body. I told myself to let go, but what should I do? It seems that the persistence over this period of time had collapsed and collapsed as early as the moment I saw her.

The caution and deep sadness in his tone made Yuluo's nose sour, and she smiled at him.

"sure."

Yuluo took the initiative to open his hands, Nie Shaotang's hands trembled and slowly stretched out to her, trying to rub her tightly into his arms, but he was afraid of scaring her away, so he could only gently hold her back, bury her head in her neck, and take a deep breath.

"Xiao Yuluo, thank you."

"Let me hug you for a while, okay?"

At this time, Nie Shaotang was like a child who no one wanted, greedy for the tenderness given by Yuluo. Although he had already understood in his heart that such greed would undoubtedly be a way to quench his thirst. What should he do when she left?

No, he doesn't want her to leave, he doesn't want to!

This obsession in his heart made Nie Shaotang unable to control it anymore and he embedded Yu Luo tightly into his chest.

"Yuluo, don't leave..."

Yu Luo was so uncomfortable that he was struck by him that he instinctively wanted to struggle.
