Chapter 69: Foreign Calls

The night was deepening and the moonlight was tantalizing.

In Ren Yue's room in the villa, the bright moonlight fell on the person who pushed the door and outlined his face one by one. Mr. Bai was dressed in pajamas, his black hair was slightly soft against his face, and his eyes were deep and gentle under the moonlight. He stood quietly by the bed, looked at Ren Yue, who was huddled in the quilt.

Mr. Bai stood quietly for a while. He leaned over and pulled the quilt that was lifted for Ren Yue so that he would not catch a cold. After doing this, Mr. Bai refused to leave. He always felt that Ren Yue's quilt exuded great temptation, which made him reluctant to leave like this.

Only at this time, the curtains by the floor-to-ceiling windows were blown up, and the moonlight fell on the bed along with the moving curtains, jumping between Ren Yue's eyebrows. Ren Yue's eyelashes with closed eyes moved slightly with the wind, and they seemed to be covered with starlight.

Mr. Bai looked at Ren Yue. He stood still for a moment, and then he hid his desire in his heart. He turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, closed it gently, pulled the curtains, and left quietly.

At the moment when the door was closed, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up in the dark room. After a while, after a tumbling sound, the room fell into complete silence.

The night was completely quiet and everything fell into a deep sleep.

Trees were planted outside the villa. Under the night, these trees were covered with a layer of dark gauze. In one of the trees stood a nocturnal bird, standing there with its eyes closed, as if it had fallen into a nap.

At this time, a snake emerged from the grass, and it climbed up the tree trunk little by little. It moved forward quietly, and its long tongue moved forward steadily towards the nocturnal birds on the branches.

At the end of the weekend, Ren Yue returned to school happily the next day. Because he thought early in the morning that he could see Hui Ye at school today. He felt very happy. But his excitement had subsided a lot, and the giddy excitement was no longer strong. Until Ren Yue sat in the classroom, he even began to feel like this.

He just met the real person of Hui Ye, and that's it.

After suddenly thinking about it, Ren Yue's excessive emotion calmed down. He felt that his excitement before was really a bit too much, and it didn't look like his usual calm self. But considering his complicated feelings for Hui Ye, he thought it was understandable.

Maybe he wanted to open up a new circle of friends too much?

For a long time, Ren Yue had only Lin He as a good friend. In addition, he often came and went alone. Although Ren Yue enjoyed this simple atmosphere, sometimes he hoped to have more friends like ordinary high school students. And if there was only Lin He around him all the time, he was worried that he would vent too much emotion to Lin He involuntarily. Lin He had his own life. Even if he was very gentle, he should not be treated so recklessly.

However, let everything be as it was.

After Ren Yue thought about it, he was not so active about taking the initiative to find Ye Zihui. He thought that when he went to the company, he had such a fate to meet the other. If they were really destined, he believe they could meet the other without looking for him by himself.

Ren Yue was a little superstitious sometimes.

Probably because of what Mr. Bai explained, Ren Yue's school life suddenly became very comfortable. He either read books or play basketball on the sports field.

The rumors and turmoil in the past have vanished with the passage of time. Although the classmates would ridicule Ren Yue for a sentence or two when he mentioned it, it's obvious that this matter has really passed.

In such a bland time, Ren Yue finished the first half of his second year of high school and ushered in the mid-term exam.

Before the exam, Mr. Bai got the news, so he asked Ren Yue at dinner. "Aren't you going to bet on this midterm?" Asked Mr. Bai.

Ren Yue was eating steak. He paused for a moment, and then asked back, "Do you really want to bet?"

"I think this may help to promote your study." Mr. Bai said with good reason, "Last time because of the bet, your grades improved by 20% than usual. I think if you maintain this momentum, you can continue to improve."

Ren Yue put down his knife and fork. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. Then he looked at Mr. Bai and said very seriously, "Indulging in gambling is not a good thing, you have to turn back as soon as possible."

"..."

"I hate gambling." Ren Yue did not know what was in his mind, there was a harsh look crossing his eyes, but the strange emotion soon disappeared. He understands that the gambling that Mr. Bai said is not that kind of gambling, but recently he was a little sensitive to the word and always felt as if something was going to happen.
