The fleeting time disappeared into the horizon. Waiting for your gentleness, drifting in our memories.
Night and Xiaoling's memories continued…
The time was obviously the same as usual, but it made Night feel a little uncomfortable. He watched as time ticked by and counted silently. It was so slow, so slow…
Today was the business planning tutorial class, and the tutor was very serious in teaching one-on-one. But to Night, she couldn't listen to any of this content at all. Her mind was empty as she read the words filled with stars in the book.
He kept thinking about her wandering somewhere…
In the past two months, Xiaoling had become her companion. Night used the shortest time possible to complete today's mission every day and then returned to her room to rest. In the eyes of the people around them, it was just that Ye slept earlier. There was nothing special about him. No matter how much he shortened his working hours, he was still busy until 8 or 9 pm every day.
At this time, Night would arrange everything. For example, he would tell the butler about the matter, investigate where the bodyguards were arranged today, and wait until everything was ready to carry out the sneak operation.
It was like this every day and night. He seemed to be used to this arrangement. Every night, he would search for Xiaoling in her usual place, but he didn't know where she was sleeping. He would find her very quickly every time. His next task was to fill her stomach and then hug her to sleep.
Night still didn't know why Xiaoling ran out of the orphanage. Later on, she gradually forgot about this matter, and taking care of Xiaoling became her last job every day. Thinking about it, it was really unbelievable that he had actually slept outside for two months. Every morning, he would rush home in a hurry. If he was discovered, it would be harder to come out in the future.
Before returning home, Xiaoling had prepared the food for the day and took good care of everything. Although he was worried, it was safer during the day than at night. Moreover, very few people would go to that small forest, so there should be no problem.
An hour passed…two hours…three hours…
"Young Master Ye, today's class will end here. You can rest for a while.”
He looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock at night. Damn it! If his father hadn't asked him to familiarize himself with the company today, the class wouldn't have been pushed back to this time. He wondered if that idiot was hungry again. What if he ate something unclean like last time and his stomach hurt?
After two months of understanding, Night came to the conclusion that Xiaoling was a brainless fellow. If someone found out about her weakness, as long as someone told her to take her to her father, she would be the kind of fool who would obediently follow them.
Night also realized that she had been too concerned and protective of Xiaoling. Someone who clearly had nothing to do with him could actually make him do this. This was simply unimaginable.
"Young Master Ye…it's been hard on you today. Eat something and rest early.”The old butler served the snacks respectfully.
"I'm going out tonight. Help me arrange it.”The old butler had been arranged by Ye to be a spy at home, so it was safer to have someone to inform him. Night would also be the first to know about the matters at home. The old butler had watched Ye grow up, so there was no harm in letting him know. There were many benefits.
"But it's already so late. It's very dangerous outside. Otherwise, don't go out today.”
"I know what to do. Just help me arrange it.”He had to go out because it was dangerous. Otherwise, what would that fool do by himself?
"Yes, I understand."
Night was waiting for the right time in the room. He looked out of the window. It smelled like rain. He had to rush over as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the door opened and the old butler ran in and said anxiously,"Master is back and wants you to go over.”
" What?!" This was bad…
The rain began to fall, and slowly, it became heavier. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled through the clouds.
Xiaoling hid in the hole of the penguin slide in fear. She covered her ears with her trembling hands and sang her mother's lullaby loudly. Tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes widened as she told herself,"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."
Night ~~ Where are you? Why isn't he here yet? I'm scared…
Over the past two months, Xiaoling had developed a habit of waiting for the night to come. Because she could feel that as long as night came, she would not go hungry. As long as night came, she would not be afraid.
He closed his eyes, curled up his trembling body, and waited in the corner.
The sound of rain, thunder, and wind mixed together, and fear swept over them. When the rain gradually subsided and the thunder disappeared, Xiaoling slowly opened her eyes.
However, the night had yet to come…
Xiaoling naively thought that Night might have gotten lost or was buying delicious food for her. He would be here soon.
After an unknown period of time, there was still no sign of Night. Anxious, Xiaoling ran out. She wanted to find Ye. She wanted to bring Ye back.
Xiaoling ran into the streets, aimlessly looking for Night. With the heavy traffic, the road began to blur and become unclear. My head is dizzy ~ I'm hungry…My eyes are blurry…
Xiao Ling, who had lost all her strength, collapsed to the ground, allowing the raindrops to wet her hair, her clothes, and her cheeks…
"Lady Boss! There seems to be a little girl lying in front of your shop…"
The lady boss ran out anxiously."Aiya ~ Whose child is this? Why is she lying here?？Old man, come quickly, come help…"
Just like that, Xiaoling was picked up by the owner of Happiness Tavern and brought home. She even had a high fever for two days and two nights…
Night was called over by her father only to arrange some future study materials. After settling this matter, Night found an excuse to return to her room. He ran out of the house as fast as he could and came to the forest…
At this moment, the rain was still falling…
Ye Bai searched for Xiaoling with mixed feelings, but the person who could be found in five minutes was nowhere to be seen after 20 minutes. In the rainy night, he searched the depths of the forest over and over again. He searched the park and the slide…but in the end, he still could not find it. At dawn, she returned home in a depressed mood.
It was already five in the morning. After a whole night of searching, where could Xiaoling have run off to?
All the possibilities of danger replayed in Night's mind again and again. This was the first time Night felt heartache...
The second night…the third night…the fourth night…
Night persisted in searching for more than a month, but in the end, she still could not find Xiaoling. In the end, Night decided to give up…
That year, Ye was 14, and Xiaoling was 11…
Not long after, Ye was sent abroad by her father to study for four years. She only returned when Ye turned 18. Then, he would enter the university his father had run. He would not study for the sake of studying. He was only studying to preserve his only freedom…
After seven years, Ye's memory of Xiaoling had gradually faded, and he couldn't remember it anymore…
No one expected that Xiaoling and Night would meet again…
Was it destined?
This year, Ye was 21, Xiaoling was 18…
