Everyone was busy at the end of the year. Except for Su Yang, who was forced to stay at home by Huo Sini and had nothing to do every day, everyone else was so busy that they rarely saw each other. Of course, Xi Ye was one of them.
Su Yang didn't see him for a few days. Although he understood that he was busy and didn't want to disturb him, he couldn't fall asleep at night without Xi Ye's company. He was even more listless during the day. Huo Sini even suspected that he had relapsed and wanted to take him to the hospital for a check-up.
That night, Su Yang still couldn't fall asleep. He rubbed the dark circles under his eyes with his fists and imagined that Xi Ye was right beside him, hugging him from behind like every night before. However, when he opened his eyes, the room was still dark and he was alone.
He turned over and looked at the time. It was already early in the morning. Xi Ye should have finished her work by now. He turned on the communicator and sent the latest single he recorded a few days ago. "This is my new song. It's very suitable for a bedtime song."
Soon, it was received. Xi Ye replied, "Let me listen to it."
The man's slightly hoarse voice came from the communicator. Obviously, he had just fallen asleep and was woken up. Su Yang said apologetically, "Did I disturb your rest? I'm sorry."
Soon, the man replied, "If you're sorry, let me take a look at you."
Take a look at him? Su Yang hurriedly ran into the bathroom to tidy up his appearance and covered the dark circles under his eyes. Then, he took a cute selfie and sent it to Xi Ye.
He was wearing loose white pajamas as he lazily leaned against the headboard. His delicate collarbone and even his snow-white chest could be vaguely seen. He was hugging a plush pillow in his arms as he playfully pouted his moist lips. It was as if he was saying to the man — Come and kiss me.
At this time, in the highest-level command room of the military.
The man's lips involuntarily curled up when he saw the coquettish photo on his communicator. Yin Heng witnessed this horrifying scene as soon as he stepped into the command room. He hastily wiped his eyes and looked over again. Xi Yi was still as unperturbed as ever, so he thought he must've seen wrong.
He coughed softly and teased, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? In two hours, we'll leave for the Imperial Capital Star. Although this is your first public appearance, you don't have to be so nervous that you can't sleep."
Xi Ye glanced at him. Yin Heng embarrassedly walked to the side to sort out the documents. Suddenly, a leisurely melody sounded in the room. A clear voice came from Xi Ye's communicator. It was as clean and pure as the clear spring in a deep valley. It directly touched the bottom of one's heart and washed away all the noise in the world.
Just as he was intoxicated, the song stopped abruptly. However, the sweet voice was already reverberating in his mind and he couldn't forget it. Yin Heng was just about to ask who this song was when he saw the indifferent man looking down and saying softly, "This song is very nice. Rest early. I'll visit you tomorrow night and you'll sing it for me."
"…"
After Xi Ye hung up, Yin Heng narrowed his foxy eyes and asked, "Young Master Su Yang?"
Xi Ye remained silent, which meant that he indirectly admitted it. Yin Heng's mouth twitched. "He's still chatting with you at this late hour. It seems that you two have a close relationship. Marshal Xi, you hid it so well that I didn't even notice anything."
Xi Ye suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Yin Heng until he felt uncomfortable. Then, he smiled and said, "You too."
Yin Heng stopped being frivolous and asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
"You understand. You're Yin Heng. How can you not understand?"
Yin Heng lowered his eyes. After a while, he showed his signature foxy smile and said, "153 days. This is faster than I expected. As expected of you, Xi Ye … your little friend is also very interesting. She found you so accurately. She even recognized the wrong person during the mission."
Xi Ye stood up and slowly walked to his side. His tone was extremely dangerous. "I hate being lied to. You should know better than anyone else."
"It's just a joke. You don't have to be so serious …" Yin Heng took a step back defensively and said, "I'm his savior. Besides, you wouldn't have met him without me. It's not your style to kick someone to the curb after they've outlived their usefulness."
Xi Ye said coldly, "I'll deal with you when I come back."
Yin Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only a fool would wait here for him to come back. As soon as Xi Ye left, he would go to a remote planet to do archaeology. Although he was playful, he was not stupid enough to confront Xi Ye directly. He had to lie low for a while.
Just as he was thinking about how many years it would be appropriate for him to leave and what excuse he could use to ask for leave, Xi Yi said, "That adjutant of yours is very tight-lipped. In order to protect you, he refused to say a single word. But with your personality, I'm sure you don't care about his life or death."
"… No wonder I haven't seen him for a few days. It's you. Are you serious?"
Xi Ye slowly buttoned up his shirt and said firmly, "Yes."

It would be New Year's Eve in a few days. The Su family was very lively this year. As if to make up for the regret of the previous year, Huo Sini invited many relatives and friends, including Huo Qi and Feng Pei.
Su Yang did not dislike Feng Pei. Xi Ye said that Feng Pei had a bad heart. In fact, a large part of the reason was because of his hostility towards his love rival. It was not an objective and fair evaluation. When a man was jealous, he would think that all the men in the world were plotting against his baby.
However, he was still unhappy with Huo Sini's obvious attempt to pull strings. In fact, he could understand his mother's mentality. She just wanted him to find other people's good points and not hang himself on Xi Ye. But for him, he had already found the right person. Other people did not exist.
While others were drinking and chatting, he was hiding in a corner and browsing the current political news. Su Yang knew that Xi Ye had visited the Capital Star of the Empire. Now, many media outlets were reporting on this matter. There was also a big storm on the Star Internet. However, no one would think that this "Xi Ye" and the "Xi Ye" that Su Yang mentioned were the same person. After all, the two circles were very different. It could even be said that they were worlds apart.
Su Yang took a sip of wine and continued to refresh and save the handsome photos of Old Attack on the screen.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the hall. Su Yang subconsciously looked up and saw a tall and handsome man standing at the entrance of the door. His well-ironed military uniform made him look imposing, but his eyes were cold and unapproachable.
