Ninth Symphony

... "Three years ago, I knew it from the first time you stood in front of me as Xi Yin."

After Du Nian uttered these words, Xi Yin—oh no, he should be called Xi Le now, and his face became pale as paper.

His mind was almost blank for a moment, his thoughts seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't think of anything.

Du Nian couldn't bear to see him like this, so he took his clothes and covered him, put his hands on the back of his neck and lowered his head slightly, and said calmly, "Xi Le, can we talk?"

But Xi Le stood there without moving. Du Nian could feel the skin under his palms tense, as if someone had cast a petrification spell on him. I was so enlightened when I was exposed, can't you afford it now that I have exposed it?"

Xi Le's eyes covered by eyelashes trembled for a moment, and various emotions were tossed and turned into silence.

He actually wants to talk about it, but where to start?He didn't know if there were residual side effects from yesterday's medicine, but he just felt that his brain felt as if it had been completely emptied from the inside, and if he wanted to think a little, it would hurt like a needle prick.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Du Nian knew that the hole could only be opened by himself, so he continued: "Three years ago, when the news came that 'Xi Le' had fallen off the cliff and disappeared, I was outside looking for Uncle Yun and Yun Yun. Aunt's case. You know how I felt when I heard about it?"

Hearing this, Xi Le seemed to raise his head slightly, but quickly lowered it again.

Du Nian went on to say, "I don't even know how I made it back..."

He remembered that at that time he almost rushed to the edge of the "accident" cliff in despair, and someone handed him the clothes with bullet holes on "Xi Le", the mottled blood stains on it made the liver and gallbladder tear apart, Du Nianyi shook his hands completely uncontrollably, and almost knelt on the ground in front of so many people.

If it weren't for the idea of ​​"finding the murderer" to support him, he might not be able to walk down from the edge of the cliff in the end, and then rush to Xi's house to appease "Xi Yin" who is also grieving.

But when he arrived at Xi's house, Du Nian was stunned when he saw "Xi Yin" who came out to greet him.

The two brothers, Xi Yin and Xi Le, are almost identical in other respects except for the huge difference in their personalities.If the two of them stand still in front of people at the same time, there are only a handful of people who can accurately distinguish them.

And Du Nian is one of them.

In fact, before this, Du Nian himself didn't dare to be [-]% sure of his ability to distinguish, because the precondition of the assumption just now was not true, and Xi Le couldn't be a quiet and beautiful boy like Xi Yin.He seems to have ADHD, and he can't settle down all the time. Even if his butt is sticking to the chair, there is always an active breath of wanting to "let himself go" between the corners of his brows and eyes.

But what stood in front of Du Nian at that time was the "fake Xi Yin" who deliberately suppressed his original personality, and the liveliness in his eyebrows disappeared.

However, Du Nian still saw through him at a glance, without any effort.

Probably when you care about a person to a certain extent, you will be familiar with every little movement of him, all his habits and preferences, and some aspects are even clearer than him himself.

The depiction that touches the soul, even if there are a thousand identical faces in front of you, you will never be able to describe a plausible sweetheart.

Therefore, in Du Nian's eyes, Xi Yin is Xi Yin, and Xi Le is Xi Le, there is absolutely no possibility of confusion.

On this point, Wu Yi is also the same.

But at this moment, Du Nian fixed his eyes on Xi Le who bowed his head and said nothing, and finally asked the question that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Du Nian: "Lele... When you decided to make me think that the unknown person was you, did you consider my feelings? Did you consider—if I really thought that I had lost you, what do I do?"

At this moment, Xi Le's head was completely raised, and he looked at Du Nian with red eyes.

"I..." His lips moved, his voice was a bit bitter, "I thought..."

"What do you think?" Du Nian asked.

At this time, Xi Le had gradually come back to his senses, and the disconnected thoughts were reconnected. He heard the faint pressure hidden in Du Nian's voice, and he was also anxious. If he couldn't bear it any longer, all his thoughts came to his heart, and his chest was tightly blocked in an instant, and he could only vomit.

"Are you trying to blame me for hiding it from you?" Xi Le suddenly cast a sharp gaze on Du Nian's face, his chest heaved slightly, and his voice was still trying to keep a steady voice: "Do you think I don't want to tell the truth? Do you think that I am willing to pretend to be Xi Yin every day, for fear of making a mistake and being seen as wrong, so I can only live with my nerves tensed for a moment? A letter with vague words, and his own life and death are unknown, so I dare not refuse to do so, and I will not—”

Xi Le's words came to an abrupt end here, and Du Nian frowned and asked, "Xi Yin left you a letter? What's written in it?"

Xi Le smiled miserably: "Officer Du never loses the chain at critical moments... He won't let go of any clues..."

Du Nian ignored the sarcasm in his words, held his shoulders and asked very seriously: "Tell me Xi Le, what did Xi Yin write in the letter?"

"It's nothing." Xi Le said suddenly, seeing Du Nian's suspicious eyes, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't believe it, okay, then I'll repeat it to you."

Du Nian: "...Xi Le——"

"—Xi Yin said in the letter," Xi Le interrupted Du Nian unceremoniously, and said to himself: "He has found clues to the murderer of his parents, and he needs to investigate first, but it may be risky, so if he If I can't come back within a day, let me pretend to be him no matter what, and declare to the outside world that 'Xi Le' has disappeared, and I can't tell anyone about this except Uncle Zhong, especially, Keep it a secret from you and Wu Yi."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Xi Le looked at Du Nian's deepening expression, and added blankly: "This is the whole content of the letter, except for asking me to pretend to be him, I don't see anything useful He didn't even give me a suitable reason why he had to keep it secret from the two of you."

Du Nian seemed to be lost in thought, and didn't speak for a while after listening.

The development of the situation seems to have suddenly gotten out of control, and the topic I wanted to talk about at this point has been far away from the topic I originally wanted to talk about.

Taking advantage of Du Nian's silence, Xi Le silently walked to the bed and began to put on his clothes. However, the few thin pieces of cloth weighed as much as a thousand catties in his hands. Sitting on the ground slipping like a child, with his head buried in his knees and unwilling to lift it up.

It is said that it will be easier for people to speak out what is hidden in their hearts, but he doesn't know why he is such a strange existence, and he feels even heavier after speaking out.

Probably because I know that even if I say it, it will not solve the problem, but will only deepen my doubts...

"Xi Le." Du Nian suddenly opened his mouth at this moment. Xi Le thought that he would continue to ask himself about Xi Yin's disappearance, but unexpectedly, Du Nian sat down beside him and wrapped his arms around him. arms.

"Lele..." Du Nian suddenly changed his address, and Xi Le couldn't perform the movement he was about to break away from.

Only Du Nian would call him that.

I forgot when it started, it seems that not long after the two of them met, Du Nian, who had already regarded teasing Xi Le as his pleasure in life, deliberately mispronounced his name in person, insisting on pronouncing "yue" as "le" The sound of " made Xiao Xi Le think that this brother must have some brain problems, and while feeling sorry for his IQ, he took the trouble to correct the correct pronunciation for him, and Du Nian laughed so many times with his serious appearance.

Later, there were probably too many times, and Du Nian couldn't bear it with his conscience, so he said to Xi Le solemnly: "Happy Le sounds better. I will call you 'Le Le' from now on, okay?"

At that time, Xi Le was full of trust and love for his "savior", and immediately agreed without principle.

Later, when he became more sensible, he realized that it was too late to call "Lele" like a dog's name. Du Nian had already called it fluently and he listened pleasingly, so he kept it like this.

It may be a psychological effect. Xi Le felt that Du Nian's voice was particularly gentle every time he called him "Lele", which made him unknowingly formed a conditioned reflex. Every time he heard these two words, he couldn't help but soften his heart, almost Du Nian. Whatever he wants to say, he promises.

And now he finds that even after three years, his reaction still hasn't changed, and he still can't stand firm when he is called out like that...

It's a deadly habit.

Xi Le propped up his upper body resignedly, and turned to look at the person next to him: "What else do you want to ask?"

Du Nian's gaze was extremely deep, and he was determined to look into his eyes: "Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about you and me, okay?"

"I'm with you?" Xi Le was slightly taken aback.

Du Nian nodded, suddenly there were different emotions in the dark pupils, strange yet familiar, which made Xi Le vaguely feel that he seemed to have seen his similar expression before, and he should be very close. Not so long ago—

——A flash of lightning flashed in my mind, and Xi Le remembered it all at once.

Yesterday... when he kissed him... when he hugged... when skin to skin... and - at the end they -...

The memory that had just been temporarily suppressed by other thoughts came back to life at this moment. Xi Le's heart began to beat uncontrollably. The drums gave Xi Le the illusion that as long as he wore a grass skirt, he could dance with it.

He didn't know that his face was so red that he could bleed, like a signal light.

"Lele, do you still remember what you said yesterday?" Du Nian's approaching face cast a small shadow in front of Xi Le's eyes. Losing the stress mechanism generally does not know how to retreat.

Xi Le's throat was a little itchy, and he stuttered as soon as he opened his mouth: "I...no, I don't remember..."

"Really... It doesn't matter if you don't remember." Du Nian looked at him and raised the corner of his mouth very gently.

The shadow in front of him slowly and continuously enlarged. In the awake state, the touch from the lips seemed to be stronger than the stimulation under the effect of the medicine. Xi Le closed his eyes subconsciously, and his breathing trembled slightly.

Du Nian only rubbed his lips with the tip of his tongue once, although it was fiery but restrained, he withdrew less than a centimeter away and said to him seriously: "Xi Le, you have been in my heart for 15 years. years."

From the time you said you made a promise with your body, there hasn't been a single day of interruption.
