"How exactly is it good?"
Xu Nuo's eyes darted away from Ye Linyan.
"Brother Ruo'an, what happened?"
Ye Linyan stood in front of Xu Nuo, pressing him for answers.
"Why do you ask so many questions! Shouldn't you be worried about Lin Zheng right now?"
Xu Nuo lay down on the bed in a rather unseemly posture, best described as sprawled out on his back!
He was very tired, extremely tired! He wanted to sleep for a while, but he was afraid to!
"Okay, then tell me, what exactly happened to my uncle?"
Ye Linyan took two steps forward, stood by the bed, and looked at Xu Nuo, whose face was full of exhaustion, and continued to ask:
How many more things are you hiding from me?
Xu Nuo gently closed her eyes and replied, "I can't remember, don't ask anymore!"
"stand up!"
Ye Linyan stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and lifted him off the bed.
"I abandoned everything in Yuncheng and came here to find you! Tell me, what do you mean by 'I can't remember'? What do you mean by 'don't ask anymore'?"
Xu Nuo really didn't want to waste any more energy on Ye Linyan, so she just let him carry her, too lazy to shake him off. She raised her eyes and replied:
"What? You're afraid I won't die? So you came to check on me in person?"
Ye Linyan looked at Xu Nuo, her mind starting to wander. Just a few days ago, this person in front of her was still telling her "I love you" on the phone. In less than a month, how could he have changed his tune so drastically!
"Stop being sarcastic and tell me! What exactly happened?"
Xu Nuo smiled, took Ye Linyan's hand, and softly uttered a sentence:
"Brother, I'm so tired, let me rest for a while!"
After saying that, she pulled Ye Linyan hard, making him sit on the bed as well, and Xu Nuo leaned on his shoulder.
"you............."
Ye Linyan really didn't know how many faces Xu Nuo had, changing from one moment to the next, and how come she hadn't noticed them for so long.
"What exactly are you?"
"Hehe~" Xu Nuo chuckled twice and sniffed Ye Linyan's body twice.
It smells so good! What perfume does he always wear? I can't remember!
Ye Linyan looked down and could see the shadows cast by Xu Nuo's long eyelashes on her lower eyelids, which were lightly closed.
Xu Nuo could smell the faint perfume on Ye Linyan, while Ye Linyan could smell the blood on him!
Ye Linyan looked down and noticed that although Xu Nuo's sports top was black, you could still see dried bloodstains on it if you looked closely!
"Are you injured?"
Ye Linyan reached out and touched the dried bloodstain on Xu Nuo's chest.
"Um?"
Xu Nuo looked down and followed Ye Linyan's hand: "Oh, Night Owl's blood."
Ye Linyan's hand paused, and his voice also deepened:
"Don't tell me you really killed him!"
The reason Ye Linyan went along with him and temporarily suppressed his doubts was entirely because he trusted Xu Nuo. Even though Xu Nuo had just pointed a gun at his head, Ye Linyan never doubted him in his heart!
"Why can't I just kill him? If he wants to kill me, then I have to kill him!"
Xu Nuo looked up at Ye Linyan, moved away from his shoulder, and said:
"Oh, right! Lin Zheng wants to kill me? So you sent me to him!"
Then, Xu Nuo chuckled and said:
"Lin Zheng had Night Owl take away my wires, steal my money, and even wanted my life! Tsk tsk tsk~~~ You guys are so heartless!"
Seeing Ye Linyan's darkening expression, Xu Nuo added as expected:
"Lin Zheng was lucky to escape this time. If he had been any slower and I had seen him, I would have shot him dead!"
"Promise!"
Ye Linyan stood up, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief:
"He's my uncle!"
"So what? He's not my uncle!"
Xu Nuo spoke of it casually.
Looking at Xu Nuo in front of him, Ye Linyan realized that he was right, just as Wang Jinfeng had said. He had never truly understood Xu Nuo. What he saw and imagined was only the side that Xu Nuo wanted him to see.
"What's wrong with you, Arno?"
Ye Linyan lowered his eyes. He had rushed to the border without hesitation just to find him. He had thought Xu Nuo would be happy to see him, but he never expected this...
"What's wrong?" Xu Nuo chuckled softly, then looked up and saw that the deep affection in her fox-like eyes was gone, replaced by endless indifference.
"You all want me dead! And you're asking me what's wrong?"
Ye Linyan shook his head and replied in a low voice:
"No! Never! I never intended to kill you!"
"Stop acting with me! Aren't you tired?"
Xu Nuo got up and walked to the window. A cool breeze blew in through the broken window. Although it was summer, it was night, and the cool breeze made Xu Nuo shiver.
Xu Nuo glanced out the window a few times and saw a flashlight beam not far away, flickering on and off in a very regular pattern!
"I gave you all my wealth, abandoned all my efforts in Yuncheng over the years, and came to find you! You think I'm faking it?"
Ye Linyan approached Xu Nuo and stared into his eyes:
"Everyone...everyone is telling me that you've switched sides to Nan Qing'an! They're saying that you reported my company, that you're conspiring with Nan Qing'an to frame me!"
Ye Linyan gripped Xu Nuo's shoulders and said, word by word:
"I don't believe it at all! I haven't believed a single word of it! Do you even know that?!"
"Then why don't you believe me? Are you out of your mind? And you're blaming me for that?!"
Xu Nuo's words were full of sarcasm.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Linyan felt like his brain wasn't working properly at this moment. He stared intently at Xu Nuo's face, trying to find the slightest flaw in it.
"What do you think?" Xu Nuo raised the corner of her lips.
"Stop messing around, Arnold!"
Ye Linyan's once unwavering resolve was now in turmoil. His grip on Xu Nuo's shoulders loosened, and he simply stroked them gently.
"I know, I understand! You're trying to drag Ye Zhen and Nan Qing'an into this, and I understand your intentions!"
“And the Ye family!” A hint of tears welled up in Ye Linyan’s eyes.
Xu Nuo's heart clenched at the sight.
"You were the one who did what happened to that old lady from the Ye family, weren't you! I know, back then... they were the ones who caused that car accident, weren't they? I guessed it!"
As Ye Linyan finished speaking, he swallowed hard and stared at Xu Nuo expectantly.
Xu Nuo pushed Ye Linyan's hands away:
"It's true! What they said is all true! You just don't want to believe it, so you've concocted a reason in your mind to make yourself believe it!"
