The joy between people is often difficult to fully understand. Just as Bai Ye could clearly see that Xia Qingyue was overjoyed at the moment, he could not truly understand the deep affection behind that joy for him.
To be honest, even Bai Ye himself couldn't figure out where his charm came from, that he could so deeply attract Xia Qingyue's emotions.
You see, he had always considered himself nothing more than an ordinary loser with no lofty ambitions and a mediocre life.
Although there are elderly relatives at home who need care, there are no children to bring them joy.
This future life scenario of having elderly parents to care for and no children to raise had already appeared in his mind countless times.
Knowing his own situation clearly, Bai Ye didn't even dare to meet Xia Qingyue's gaze directly.
Faced with that love that burned as fiercely as a raging fire, he knew he was powerless to respond.
So he could only force a gentle smile and stand quietly waiting for Xia Qingyue to approach him step by step.
Xia Qingyue strode forward with her long, straight, beautiful legs, the high heels on her feet making a crisp, clear "clack-clack" sound, as if each step was touching Bai Ye's heartstrings.
Her graceful and charming figure was truly eye-catching, especially her legs and perfect body proportions, which were simply the best of the best!
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Bai Ye's mind, leaving only the word "beautiful" flashing and jumping around.
He was so completely absorbed in the sudden amazement that he didn't even notice when Xia Qingyue quietly walked up to him.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Bai Ye was still staring blankly ahead, completely unaware that the beautiful and charming figure was approaching him step by step.
Bai Ye only awoke from his dream when Xia Qingyue gently stretched out her hands and embraced him tightly, as tenderly as a breeze across a lake.
That warm and familiar embrace, like a ray of sunshine in winter, instantly pierced through Bai Ye's body and reached the depths of his soul.
He stared wide-eyed at the pretty face so close to his face, and for a moment he was in a daze.
Her exquisite features were like a poem or a painting; her bright eyes, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, were gazing at him with tender affection.
However, at this moment, Bai Ye seemed to be trapped in a sweet dream, unable to extricate herself.
He felt Xia Qingyue's body temperature and breath, and an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.
He wanted to respond to the hug, but his hands seemed to have lost control, hovering helplessly in the air.
Putting her down seems too cold; reaching out to hug her seems too abrupt.
Thus, Bai Ye's hands hung awkwardly in mid-air, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Just then, Xia Qingyue lowered her head and whispered in Bai Ye's ear, "Little brat, do you miss me?" Her voice was soft and melodious, like heavenly music, and went straight into Bai Ye's heart.
Bai Ye felt her heart skip a beat, then nodded involuntarily and murmured, "Yes! Welcome home, Sister Qingyue."
Upon hearing Bai Ye's reply, Xia Qingyue's face blossomed into a captivating smile, like spring flowers in full bloom.
She gently leaned on Bai Ye's shoulder and said softly, "Yes, it's so good to have you here!" Although the sentence was simple, it was full of endless affection and dependence.
In that instant, the strange looks from those around them were like arrows shot at them, but these looks did not shake Xia Qingyue in the slightest.
She remained calm and composed, as if those gazes were merely ripples on the surface of a lake caused by a gentle breeze.
However, Bai Ye stands in stark contrast to Xia Qingyue.
At this moment, Bai Ye's face turned red. He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he were being roasted on a fire.
For Bai Ye, who suffers from severe social anxiety, the feeling of being the center of attention is a nightmare.
Bai Ye lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Sister Qingyue, let's go back first!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance around out of the corner of his eye, as if afraid that someone might suddenly rush over and accuse them.
Hearing Bai Ye's words, Xia Qingyue couldn't help but smile.
She gently released her hands, which had been tightly embracing Bai Ye, and Bai Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But who would have thought that just as Bai Ye relaxed, Xia Qingyue quickly reached out and took one of Bai Ye's hands.
Without hesitation, she pulled Bai Ye up and strode outside.
It must be said that Xia Qingyue has a tall and slender figure.
If she weren't wearing high heels, her height would probably be close to 1.75 meters; and once she puts on high heels, it would jump to 1.80 meters.
In comparison, Bai Ye's height is not particularly outstanding, at only 1.75 meters.
And so, as the two walked hand in hand, the difference in their height immediately became apparent.
From a distance, they looked just like a close brother and sister.
At this moment, Bai Ye was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction about his height. He hated himself for not being able to grow taller.
"By the way, Sister Qingyue, do you have any luggage?"
As he spoke, the image of Xia Qingyue dragging her small, exquisite suitcase as she left gradually came to mind, and he couldn't help but ask.
Xia Qingyue looked relaxed and carefree, even leisurely reaching out her other hand to playfully poke Bai Ye's fair cheek, saying coquettishly:
"I have a house over there, so of course I leave my luggage there. It would be too much trouble to drag it back and forth!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's expression instantly turned somewhat bitter.
Xia Qingyue, on the other hand, looked Bai Ye up and down, scrutinizing him closely, as if trying to find some clues about him.
Only when she confirmed that Bai Ye had not lost weight or gone hungry during the few days she was away did her heart finally settle down.
However, despite feeling helpless about Xia Qingyue's excessive concern and worry, Bai Ye dared not show it at all and could only silently bear the burden of this concern.
It feels so good to have someone who cares about you like this when you're far away from home.
