When Yu Yue returned to the house, she saw Xie Yan sitting quietly, wiping his clothes with his eyes lowered.
He lowered his head, his hair falling messily across his forehead, obscuring most of his face. Only his tightly pursed lips could be vaguely seen, as if he were trying to suppress his grief.
Yu Yue felt a pang of heartache at the sight. She clenched her fingers, eager to go over and hug him, to dispel the sorrow and inexplicable aloofness emanating from him.
Gu Bin: Still feeling sad and distant?
How did you figure that out? Did you hear it from Xie Yan's incessant chatter?
Hearing the sound from afar, Xie Yan looked up and saw Yu Yuehui striding towards him. She turned her face away, looking somewhat aggrieved.
Upon seeing this scene, Yu Yuehui stopped in her tracks, somewhat at a loss.
She felt flustered by Xie Yan's slightly reproachful gaze. Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, a strange sense of guilt overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her nose, her eyes darting around as she cautiously walked towards Xie Yan, each step showing hesitation.
Xie Yan noticed this, and a chill appeared in his eyes.
Black smoke was still emanating from his body.
Yu Yue walked up to Xie Yan, bent down slightly, and asked softly, "Um, how's your wrist? Let me see?" Her voice carried an obvious hint of flattery as she spoke, glancing up to secretly observe Xie Yan's reaction.
Xie Yan, as if in a fit of pique, abruptly pulled his hand back, turned to the side, and said irritably, "Go keep your master company. What are you looking at me for?"
"Anyway, my hand isn't broken." After saying that, he turned his head to the side, no longer looking at Yu Yuehui, his face full of grievance and dissatisfaction.
Yu Yuehui's heart tightened, and she quickly squatted down, gently tugging at Xie Yan's sleeve, coaxing him softly like a child who had done something wrong, "No, I didn't mean to go see him."
"He insisted on dragging me there, really, I had no choice." Her eyes were full of anxiety and sincerity, and she even held up her finger as if to swear, trying to make Xie Yan believe her.
Xie Yan grabbed her hand, but still didn't appreciate it. He simply turned his head away, his back to Yu Yuehui, to show his attitude through his actions.
Yu Yue looked at the hand that was pressing down on her, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and took the clothes from Xie Yan's hand, and carefully wiped them for him again. Every movement was extremely serious, as if she wanted to make up for her "mistake" through this action.
After wiping, she said softly, "Don't worry, I've already gotten revenge for you. He'll apologize to you when he gets back."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan's anger not only didn't subside, but intensified. He snorted coldly and said, "If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for!"
"If I stab him, would it be okay if I just apologized?" His tone was full of anger and disdain, and he scoffed at the idea of an apology.
Yu Yuehui was slightly taken aback, then quickly said again, "Of course not! That's why I made him compensate you!"
“A lot more of that!” she said, while observing Xie Yan’s expression, trying to find a way to appease him.
Upon hearing the word "compensation," Xie Yan's ears twitched slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. "Compensation?"
"How much compensation? Is there a definite amount?" He turned his head and looked at Yu Yuehui, his eyes filled with longing for compensation.
Seeing that Xie Yan was showing signs of calming down, Yu Yuehui was overjoyed and quickly pressed her advantage, saying, "No, but whatever compensation you want, how much, is up to you!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Yan with eager eyes, hoping that he would calm down.
Xie Yan looked at Yu Yuehui suspiciously and asked tentatively, "How much do you want?"
Does that mean Gu Che will grant his request as long as he asks?
He didn't ask for much, just money and tickets.
Yu Yuehui nodded without hesitation, her eyes firm, and said, "Yes! Any amount is fine, as long as you're satisfied." She held Xie Yan's hand tightly, as if making a promise to him.
Xie Yan smiled with satisfaction, a hint of slyness in his smile, and said gently, "Then tell him I want money and tickets!"
Having said that, he deliberately rolled up his sleeve, stretched his arm out in front of Yu Yuehui, pointed to the horrifying bruises on it, and said righteously, "I suffered such a serious injury, I can't let it go to waste! This money and the tickets..."
Looking at the shocking wounds, Yu Yue felt a pang of heartache. She gently took Xie Yan's hand and said in a low but firm voice, "I will definitely make him give you a satisfactory answer." Her eyes were filled with guilt and determination, and she secretly vowed to handle this matter properly.
Xie Yan finally felt a little better, and her tense body gradually relaxed.
Gu Bin, on the other side, had been secretly observing the movements of the two people on this side.
Seeing that they had finally made up, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He turned to Zhang Linghui and nodded gently, indicating with his eyes that everything was alright.
Zhang Linghui quietly patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't mean to overhear the two arguing; it's just that when Yu Yue came back into the house, they were sitting inside warming themselves by the fire!
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the room also became more relaxed as the relationship between the two eased. The winter sunlight shone through the window and onto the floor, as if it were also drawing a conclusion to this small storm.
Not long after, Gu Che pushed a bicycle and walked over with light steps.
The winter sun shone on him, casting a faint golden halo around him.
Although there was no obvious expression on his face, his slightly straightened back and the light and graceful posture he unconsciously exuded when walking made people clearly feel his happiness at this moment, as if a layer of pleasant mist was spreading around him.
Xie Yan was so angry that her anger shot to the top of her head.
What's the meaning?
My mood improved after I beat him up?
"...Good, good, good! Very good! So you're taking your anger out on him, huh!"
See how effective it is!
snort!
Even the perpetually icy expression has changed!
Thinking of this, the emotions that I had just managed to suppress suddenly surged out again like boiling water.
His entire body began to tumble and roll again, emitting black smoke.
Seeing his brother's instantaneous change of expression, Gu Bin couldn't help but nod in approval. His brother was quite capable after all!
Look how quickly her face changed—faster than turning the pages of a book, so smooth!
Gu Che naturally felt the chill emanating from Xie Yan, and he frowned slightly.
He stepped forward, handed Xie Yan a stack of banknotes, and said in a low voice with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry about earlier. This is compensation for you. Take a look. If you have any other requests, you can make them!"
"I'll cooperate with whatever you say."
The black aura emanating from his body paused!
