Xu Nuo fell silent, while only the clatter of keyboards could be heard from Shao Rui's end.
"I...I'll call you back in a bit..."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo was still in a daze, staring blankly out the window.
After thinking it over for a while, the night owl burst out laughing: "Haha! My dowry for getting married is safe!"
Ignoring the night owl, Xu Nuo gazed out the window, lost in thought.
'Don't worry, just wait for me!'
If anything changes, I will definitely come to find you!
'Wait for me!'
The words Ye Linyan had spoken to him these past few days, as well as what he had written in the letter, echoed in Xu Nuo's mind over and over again, making his head ache!
"What do you think he's trying to achieve by doing this?"
Xu Nuo murmured.
Night Owl laughed:
"Stop pretending! He's planning to leave with you! He should sell his company too! Oh, right! How about selling Cloud too? Holy crap! That's a lot of money!"
"What are you going to do with me? Go on the run? You idiot!"
Xu Nuo leaned back in her seat and covered her eyes with her arm.
"Nowhere to go? Come to me! You invest some money in me, and I'll expand further. Isn't that great?"
Seeing Xu Nuo's expression, Night Cat nudged him and said, "Don't pull this! It's great! The fact that he did this proves he cares about you! You should be happy!"
"He is the moon in the sky, and he should stay there and hang there!"
Xu Nuo's lips moved slightly, and she whispered.
"What? Are people born into a hierarchy of high and low status? Why do I not want to listen to you? He's the moon in the sky, and we're just the mud on the ground!"
The night owl looked displeased.
"Do you know what he was like back in the underground boxing ring? He was short-tempered, easily angered, and always had a cold face!"
Xu Nuo removed his arm and reached out to Night Owl for a cigarette:
“He wasn’t like this before! He wasn’t like that before the incident! Later, after he returned to the Ye family and things started to improve, you didn’t see how spirited he was! That was the real him! That’s how he should be!”
Xu Nuo took a drag of her cigarette and slowly exhaled, "He's different from us! Even if he really wanted to, he wouldn't be happy! I don't want him to be unhappy!"
Night Cat sighed helplessly and turned her head back: "On my first day in Yuncheng, Ruibao asked me to persuade you to turn back! Do you know why I never tried to persuade you?"
"Why?"
“Because I saw how desperately you fought for him! I saw how much you sacrificed when you returned to Myanmar from China! From that moment on, I knew you wouldn’t turn back!”
Night Owl chuckled: "From that time until now, your heart and eyes have been completely filled with him! There has never been anyone else in your eyes! You can't see anyone else!"
"It has to be you again, night owl~"
Xu Nuo smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke, which was a bit choking and made her eyes red.
"But there's one thing I don't understand. He has feelings for you, and you have feelings for him, so why do you have to choose this dead end?"
Xu Nuo looked out the window, and after a long while, sighed softly:
"Because he is the moon in the sky, and I am the mud on the ground! With me around, he won't get better! You know, I'm really scared of him now!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid he'll run to me without hesitation! I have to make him give up on that idea! Only when he gives up on that idea and hates me to the core can he... live a good life in the future!"
"Why do you want him to hate you?" Night Owl asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because I'm selfish!" Xu Nuo said with a smile.
“Before I started this, I thought it through. The world is so big, and he's so young. If I die, he might completely forget me in a year, two years, or five years! Time will make people forget things they don't want to remember! But I don't want him to forget me! Even if I die, I want him to never forget me for the rest of his life!”
"You really are full of wicked schemes! Lin Yan doesn't know whether meeting you in this life is lucky or unlucky!"
Night Owl is now starting to feel sorry for Ye Linyan.
"Have you ever thought that if you laid everything out with him, there might be another way out?"
"I've thought about it for a long time, but I still can't find a way out! Ye Qingshan! I will kill him! I don't want Ye Jin to be a hindrance either!"
A murderous glint flashed in Xu Nuo's eyes, but then slowly faded away.
"Even if he didn't have a close relationship with his grandfather and father, how do you think he would get along with his father's killer?"
"Do you really want to do it yourself? I'll kill them for you!"
The night owl fiddled with the lighter in his hand, speaking casually.
"Why did you chase your enemy so far with your injured body back then? I also said I would do it for you. What did you say to me then?"
Xu Nuo turned her head to look at him, her eyes blinking rapidly:
"Lin Zheng wanted me to do it personally, firstly to avenge him, and secondly, to make me give up all thoughts about my brother! Of course, he also wanted me to give up my brother's feelings for me! To go on the path he should go!"
"I don't understand your scheming! But give me three more years, and I can be your backup plan! We're not on the same wavelength as him, so we'll just stay far away from him!"
Night Owl kept pressing the lighter, but didn't light another cigarette.
"Three years is too long! My bones will rot away! One year! I'll help you! Lin Zheng should retire too!"
Xu Nuo snatched the lighter from his hand and put it in her own: "You need to change this habit. Whenever you have something on your mind, you like to play with the lighter!"
"If I really die halfway through, you have to finish what's left for me! That way, our brotherhood won't have been for nothing!"
"Ha~" Night Owl chuckled and replied:
"So, brother, are there any wishes you haven't fulfilled yet?"
Xu Nuo rested her head on the headrest, thought for a while, and then chuckled: "There really is!"
"What?"
"I want to sleep with my brother!"
The night owl was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter:
"So you've been down there all these years, fucking!"
"What are you laughing at!"
Xu Nuo regretted his words as soon as he said them, and punched Night Owl hard on the shoulder!
After Night Owl finally finished laughing, he wiped away the tears of laughter and said, "Don't worry, when we get back to Yuncheng, I'll tie him to your bed!"
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison!
.....................................................................................
Ye Linyan, who was far away in Yuncheng, was working overtime in his office when he suddenly sneezed!
Looking at his watch, he figured Xu Nuo should be awake by now, and thought to himself, "That kid must be cursing me!"
After closing his laptop, Ye Linyan looked at the photo of the two of them on his desk and pointed to Xu Nuo, who was smiling brightly in the picture!
The photo had been broken by Xu Nuo, so Ye Linyan went back to get it reframed and placed on her desk!
