Ninth Symphony

At dusk, the sun slowly sank into the horizon, the light converged, and the inside and outside of the house became darker by minute.

If the lights are not turned on, the huge villa of the Xi family is like a giant tomb, dark and silent.

The key is people.

With fewer people, the house will naturally be deserted.

There were still a few helpers in Xi's family before, but after the accidents of the gardener and the driver, people were panicked, and Xi Yin saw that the people left behind were also uneasy, so they simply advanced half a year's wages to let them go home.

Now, only he and Uncle Zhong live in the whole villa.

Uncle Zhong has too many things to worry about every day, and Xi Yin usually doesn't see him unless there is something to do, so it feels like he lives here alone, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will be a little lonely.

The same is true today.

Xi Yin was lying on the carpet in the morning, perhaps because she was too tired, and after closing her eyes, she rarely saw those horrible pictures again, and fell asleep without knowing it.

Now that he just woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside the window was already dark, and the room was dark, and his mood became as dark as the surrounding environment.

But before he was completely depressed, Xi Yin suddenly remembered that there was another person in the family at this time.

Somewhere in the bottom of my heart seemed to be brighter for an instant.

Xi Yin stood up and groped to the wall to turn on the light, went to the bathroom and washed his face to make himself look less haggard, and then slapped his face vigorously with his hands a few times to ooze some blood, finally looking refreshed.

However, when he walked out of the bedroom, he hesitated when he went downstairs.

Do you want to go...

While struggling, Xi Yin unconsciously walked to the door of the guest room, and put his hand lightly on the doorknob. Although he was in his own home, he was a little cautious, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

"Master?"

At this moment, Uncle Zhong suddenly came up from the corner of the stairs with a tray. Seeing Xi Yin standing there hesitantly, he understood a little bit, and said softly, "Go in, Officer Du just woke up."

Xi Yin was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her hand and looked at Uncle Zhong and asked, "Have you seen him already? Is he better?"

"Well, the fever is gone." Uncle Zhong came over and stood in front of Xi Yin, showing him the tray in his hand: "Just now Officer Du called me after waking up, saying he was hungry, and asked if there was any food, so I went Prepare a few easy-to-digest foods for him."

"He really doesn't see the outside world." Xi Yin glanced at the guest room quickly as he said.

Uncle Zhong nodded slightly, and said to him again: "By the way, you haven't eaten since morning, so you must be very hungry. I didn't hear any response when I knocked on the door of your room at noon. I think you may have eaten yesterday." If you don't have a good night's rest, you won't bother me."

"I did fall asleep at that time." Xi Yin didn't say much, and turned back to the guest room.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhong took the initiative to take a step forward and handed the tray in his hand to Xi Yin, Xi Yin took it subconsciously, and then looked at Uncle Zhong with an inexplicable expression.

"What for me?" He asked suspiciously, frowning.

"Please bring it in for Officer Du. There are still prepared meals in the kitchen. You wait here for a while, and I will bring them to you right away."

"Hey wait! Uncle Zhong—"

After Uncle Zhong finished speaking, he simply turned his head and went downstairs, leaving Xi Yin standing there in embarrassment, heaving a long sigh.

"Self-assessment again..."

Xi Yin muttered silently, but had no choice but to fix the tray with her body and one arm, and carefully unscrew the doorknob with the other hand and walked in.

"Why did you come in?" Du Nian in the room turned to look at him and asked as soon as he heard the voice.

Obviously, he heard part of the conversation between Xi Yin and Uncle Zhong at the door just now, but he didn't wait for the door to be opened for a long time.

Xi Yin glared at him coldly, walked over with the tray and put it on the bedside table with a little force, and said disgustedly: "This is my house, I can come in whenever I want, you can control it."

Du Nian couldn't help smiling, and sat up on his own. Although Xi Yin could see that he was struggling, he resisted and didn't reach out to help.

"All the food is here, if you don't have enough, ask Uncle Zhong to bring it over, and I'm leaving."

"Don't rush away." Du Nian suddenly grabbed Xi Yin's wrist before he turned around. The wound on his left arm hurt a little, but he pulled Xi Yin closer to his side even harder.

"What are you doing?" Xi Yin's eyes were repulsive, but his body did not deliberately stay away.

Du Nian stared at him and smiled, then pulled Xi Yin down and said, "Uncle Zhong told you to wait here for him to bring the food, sit down."

Hearing such a natural tone, Xi Yin couldn't help squinting at him: "There's no appetite to eat in the same room with you, you'd better eat by yourself."

"Xi Yin," Du Nian shrugged his right shoulder subconsciously when he smiled, "Aren't you worried that I want to come in and take a look, and this is the end of it?"

"I'm worried about you?! I think you have a fever and your brain is burnt out." Xi Yin sneered and mocked.

However, Du Nian was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still smiled and said: "If you are not worried about why I came here? This is the second floor, and your room is on the third floor. Could it be that Young Master Xi just came for a walk?"

"I don't need to report the reason to you when I go up and down the stairs in my own home."

Xi Yin looked at Du Nian coldly, and suddenly, the corner of his lips twitched up and said sarcastically: "Officer Du, if you have an occupational disease, you will have to wait for the injury to heal and go outside to toss around. Like now, you can't even take care of yourself and need others In the state of serving food, drinking, and messing around, I advise you to be more restrained, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't throw you directly into the street."

"It's so fast to change your face." Du Nian leaned back and let out a long breath, then grinned and said, "Obviously I was still restless because of me this morning, but now I'm so ruthless again, Xi Yin , do you have a split personality too?"

"You—" Xi Yin desperately resisted the urge to swear, took two deep breaths on the spot, and then glared at Du Nian with fierce eyes: "I just want to ask you something, why didn't you tell the police? I shot him."

"Oh." Du Nian raised his brows lightly, and answered the irrelevant question: "Has the news come out?"

However, Xi Yin was not fooled by him. "Answer me!" He suddenly raised his voice: "Why didn't you tell the truth?"

"Nowadays, the reporters are amazing. They have sharper noses than the police. If there is any trouble, they will follow them. It is becoming more and more difficult for the police to block the news." Du Nian sighed softly.

"Du Nian, you fucking answer me well!!"

Xi Yin was really annoyed now.

He reached out to grab Du Nian's collar, but suddenly changed his path in the middle, and hit the back bed board heavily with his fist.

"You, give me an answer." Xi Yin gritted her teeth and said again.

The smile on Du Nian's face faded a bit.He looked at Xi Yin silently for a moment before asking calmly: "Xi Yin, you want to hear my answer."

"I want to hear your answer?!" Xi Yin asked back with her eyes wide open, with an expression of disbelief.

Du Nian looked at him silently and didn't speak, her smile was completely gone.

"It's like this again..." A few seconds later, Xi Yin suddenly lowered her head and said with a low laugh, "This is the same thing again..."

"Ah……"

He squeezed out a cold snort from his throat, but it sounded a bit desperate.

"There is no answer, and there has never been an answer. What I don't understand may never have a chance to understand until I die. Is this what you want?"

"Do you want me to live in endless speculation and doubt until one day I finally can't bear this torture and kill myself? Will you be happy then?"

"You can always answer this question, Officer Du? Do you have to drive people to a corner to be satisfied?!"

Xi Yin was even a little hysterical at the end, her voice was not loud but her throat was already hoarse.

"Xi Yin."

Du Nian frowned and stared at him earnestly, and then asked seriously, "Are you okay? Your mood today doesn't look right."

"It's not quite right..." Xi Yin repeated his words as if muttering to himself.

"Xi Yin, look at me." Du Nian suddenly sat up straight, put his hand on Xi Yin's chin and raised his head.

But the next moment, Xi Yin knocked his hand off with force.

Yeah, the mood is not quite right.How could it be right?

Every time he experienced that feeling, it took a long time for him to adjust his mentality. It was as if he had crawled out of the depths of hell over and over again, always worrying whether he would fall into the abyss again.

Under such circumstances, Xi Yin is well aware of how sensitive and fragile his nerves are at the moment. If he is slightly stimulated, he will subconsciously fight back. Whether it is words or behaviors, he will tend to carry out excessive self-protection .

Even if he wanted to control it, his mental state would not allow it.

What's more, in front of Du Nian is always the time when he has the weakest control.

Xi Yin's hands began to tremble uncontrollably again, but this time he was not alone, and was soon embraced by someone.

"Xi Yin, calm down, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Regardless of Xi Yin's resistance, Du Nian tightly circled him, repeating the same words in a low voice, as if putting a child to sleep.

"I, I'm not afraid..." Xi Yin sobbed slightly, but her body gradually stopped struggling, and she let out her weight little by little.

"Just don't be afraid."

Du Nian could feel that the person in his arms was gently leaning his head against his shoulder, but the speed was very slow, as if he was in constant hesitation and temptation.

And in this process, Du Nian's dark eyes also became darker.

It wasn't until Xi Yin leaned against him completely that Du Nian breathed a sigh of relief calmly, but his arms wrapped around him even tighter.

He continued to whisper in his ear: "Xi Yin, don't worry, I'm here."

But at this moment, something scalded his neck suddenly, and it dripped down, followed by another drop.

"Xi Yin..."

At that moment, Du Nian felt as if he had been struck by an electric shock, and the shocked expression froze on his face for a long time without any change.

How long ago was the last time Xi Yin cuddled in his arms like this now...

Compared with the heartache that burst out at this moment, the pain experienced when the wound was stitched before was nothing at all.
