The events of 16 years ago were still a nightmare in her mind. Her big brother, Chu Beize, was no longer the same big brother who would comfort her in times of danger.
As she recalled Chu Beize, Ye Yanxi felt a fish bone stuck in her throat, causing her to feel very uncomfortable.
She backed away, and the hotel was filled with cheers and laughter. However, she resisted the urge to leave as soon as possible. ”I don't want to know where this place is. I don't want to stay here. Let's go back.”
From not too far away came the sound of hurried footsteps. It seemed like those people had caught up with them again. Xiao Yu suddenly pulled Ye Yanxi into the hotel. The interior of the hotel was very spacious.
On the other side of the hall, the wedding was currently taking place. Xiao Yu was holding onto Ye Yan Xi as they hid underneath a table carved from white jade. This corner of the hall was dimly lit, and no one was paying attention to this place.
After that, the few people that had been following Xiao Yu and Ye Yan Xi also quickly followed them into the hotel. After entering, they constantly scanned their surroundings in search of traces of the two.
As they passed by the edge of the table where Ye Yan and Xiao Yu were hiding, their steps paused. Ye Yan Xi's heart couldn't help but tense up, and she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Fortunately, that person only paused for a moment before leaving. He didn't notice them. Only after that did those people leave the hotel. Only then did the two people heave a sigh of relief.
The space under the table was limited. Xiao Yu tightly hugged Ye Yan Xi's delicate body. The two of them were very close, so they could feel Xiao Yu's breath gently falling onto their faces.
Now that the person following them had left, it was time for them to get up and leave. However, Ye Yan Xi discovered that Xiao Yu was quietly staying in his original position. He didn't move at all as he signaled for Xiao Yu to leave.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, grabbed her hand and didn't let go.
”They're gone.” Ye Yan Xi reminded him softly.
In this cramped space, the sound of their heartbeats could be heard clearly. Ye Yan Xi suddenly felt that she was familiar with this feeling. It was just like 16 years ago, when she was held by her big brother under the stone slab.
However, such a memory would only make people uncomfortable.
She didn't want to think about it. Things had already changed, and she felt a dull pain in her heart.
”Don't you feel that this feeling is very familiar?” The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth curved into a smile. In the darkness, the side of his face was beautiful yet enchanting.
”Familiar with what? Let me go. ” Ye Yanxi wanted to retract her hand and struggle, but she didn't succeed.
”At that time, you said you were scared and almost cried to ask if you would die.”
Xiao Yu's words were like a switch as memories flooded her mind. She clearly remembered what he and his big brother had said to each other.
Even though she was only six at the time and most of her memories were incomplete, she could still remember everything she said to her big brother.
Ye Yan Xi's face changed. She was in pain, ”You … Stop talking. ”
She didn't want to think about it, because her expectations had already been dashed.
”You even complained, wrongly, that your forehead is injured, will you turn ugly?”
Why did Chu Beize tell Xiao Yu everything that happened? How could he be so careless?
Ye Yan Xi shook her head.
”Don't say anymore. I don't want to hear it. I've long forgotten the matters from sixteen years ago. I've forgotten everything, so I can't remember anything.”
”Have you really forgotten?”
”Is this where you want to bring me?” Ye Yan Xi suddenly looked at Xiao Yu with resentment: ”Did Chu Beize tell you? So you brought me here to humiliate me? You want to see my joke? ”
”Beize? What does it have to do with him? ”
”Chu Beize is that big brother who saved me 16 years ago. Didn't he tell you what you just said?” Ye Yan Xi gritted his teeth as he stared at him with a pale face: ”Have you finished saying what you want to say? ”So, as you wish, I already know. Can we go now?”
Xiao Yu's eyes dimmed, ”The reason why you are with Chu Beize, could it be that... Is it because of this? ”
”This has nothing to do with you!” Ye Yan Xi angrily withdrew her hand and got up to leave, but was pulled back by Xiao Yu.
”I'm not done yet.” As he finished speaking, Xiao Yu suddenly exerted his strength and pulled Ye Yan Xi closer to him with a bracelet on her waist. A fiery heat spread from his lips to her ears as he said in a domineering tone, ”Answer me, don't you!”
”So what?” Ye Yan Xi struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail, ”Now you know everything, are you satisfied?”
”Why do you think that the person from 16 years ago was Chu Beize?”
”Does this have anything to do with you?”
Xiao Yu lowered his head to kiss her smooth and smooth earlobes. His voice carried a hint of urgency, ”I want to know.”
Ye Yanxi stopped struggling in frustration and spoke with a tone of impatience, ”He said that he lives in the Chu Clan and that the Chu Clan only has a boy as big as Chu Beize. Furthermore, he appeared here before and was injured in the courtyard. I said, can you let him go now?”
She also didn't understand why she told Xiao Yu these things. These were merely memories between her and Chu Beize, but he kept asking.
”So... ”Do you misunderstand that the person back then was Bei Ze?” Xiao Yu lightly said.
The word 'misunderstanding' caused Ye Yan Xi to be completely confused.
