Ninth Symphony

The curtains in the hotel room are thick, and the outside light cannot penetrate after being pulled tightly. The room is dark, making people mistakenly think that it is still early.

Actually, it's past noon now.

Within a few minutes of Wu Yi's intercom call, he had already arrived at the door of the room where Du Nian and Xi Le lived, tapped twice, and heard Du Nian's reply from inside, "Come in, the door is open", which was a little bit awkward. He hesitated to open the door.

During the phone call just now, what Du Nian said to him was: "Xi Le and I are waiting for you in the room."

It was Xi Le, not Xi Yin.

Wu Yi understood that they had made their point clear. It seemed that what happened yesterday unexpectedly came true. The two people should have gone through some in-depth discussions to reach this point. After conveying it, Wu Yi was ready to be "shown off" in his heart.

But after he entered, he found that the atmosphere inside was different from what he had imagined.

Du Nian and Xi Le were sitting on the same chairs, one was calm and relaxed, the other was expressionless, when he saw him coming in, he raised his eyes and nodded in sync, there was an indescribable weirdness in the tacit understanding , although it is not embarrassing, but it is definitely not related to the sweet and ambiguous atmosphere.

Could it be... that the talk has collapsed?Wu Yi gave Du Nian a look of "what are you doing again".

Du Nian smiled meaningfully at him, lifted his chin towards the bed and said, "Sit down, let's get to know each other again."

Wu Yi: ...others are flirtatious, but this one is a flirt.

Xi Le cleared his throat softly at the side, and Wu Yi cast his eyes on him. When the two eyes met, they were subconsciously embarrassed, but they didn't avoid it. After a while, Wu Yi called out in a low voice: "Xiao Le .”

"Second brother..." Xi Le paused, and used the old name.

When they were young, there were a total of six children who played relatively close, with Du Nian as the head, followed by Wu Yi, Li Dong, Li Xia, Xi Yin, and finally Xi Le in descending order of age.

Xi Le has a different kind of intimacy with Du Nian. He is too familiar with Li Dong to be polite, but he doesn't need to be polite to Xi Yin at all, so he only uses the title of "seniority" on Wu Yi and Li Xia. Habitually called "Second Brother" and "Fourth Brother".

But since Xi Yin disappeared three years ago, after he pretended to be him, he could only use Xi Yin's original name in front of people.

But in fact, Wu Yi recognized who he was as soon as he arrived at Xi's house after the accident. Just as Du Nian said, it is impossible for Wu Yi to misidentify Xi Yin based on his feelings for Xi Yin.

In a hurry, Wu Yi once pulled Xi Le aside and asked him what happened to Xi Yin, why he left home suddenly, and why he encountered such a thing...

It's a pity that Xi Le himself didn't have the answers to these questions, let alone answer him. Seeing that Wu saw through, he could only beg him not to tell the truth. Although he didn't know why he couldn't tell the truth, Xi Yin told him to Keep it secret, he can only do it without knowing the cause and effect.

Of course, Wu Yi agreed to him, but that "small voice" could not be uttered no matter what.

In the end, Wu Yi staggered away from Xi's house almost as if he was running away. A few days later, he happened to be going to another place to go to school, and he hadn't returned to Xinfu for nearly three years.

Xi Le knew what he was running away from.

If he hadn't had to come back this time because of Uncle Wu's affairs, Xi Le estimated that Wu Yi might continue to avoid him, to avoid seeing the twin brother who looks exactly like the person he likes, so as not to arouse his heart. Suppress the pain a little bit.

The three of them went all the way from Xinfu to Iloka. On the way, Xi Le saw Wu Yi's lonely and nostalgic eyes several times when he looked at him, and he felt uncomfortable, so he pretended not to see it.

At this time, Fang spoke up, there was no need to forcibly disguise his identity, and the embarrassment between him and Wu Yi finally disappeared.

Du Nian quietly observed the reactions of the two of them, and in order to give them more buffer time, he did not say a word for the time being. Taking advantage of the time, he took his thoughts away for a moment and recalled what happened just now.

Just 10 minutes ago, he just expressed his feelings to Xi Le.

Although this confession came a little earlier than he had planned, it didn't have much impact. Du Nian had never been a person who cared much about formality, so it would be good to let him know.

And after Xi Le heard it, although he was stunned for the first few minutes, and his eyes were not without surprise and emotion, but in the end he calmed down and responded to this long-awaited sentence The only response he gave was a silent nod.

He couldn't be happy when it wasn't the time when he should be happy.

What's more, during the three years when he hated Du Nian as "Xi Yin", he was actually tormented by an unspeakable selfish thought...

That is, compared to the two "crimes" of "terminating the investigation without reason" and "deliberately concealing the truth", Xi Le knows that the most unforgivable part of Du Nian's heart is what he did after learning that "Xi Le" disappeared. The calmness and composure shown.

He was so calm that he was almost ruthless, as if the disappearance of "Xi Le" had no effect on him, as if he didn't care about "Xi Le"'s life or death at all, as if there was such a person as "Xi Le" in his life. It makes no difference.

Schiller just hates this.

On the premise that he didn't know that Du Nian had recognized him, he always thought: So I am insignificant in his heart.

He gave him almost all his trust and affection, so after he "disappeared", he was hurt by Du Nian's "nothing to do with him"...

But now, the situation is different.

Du Nian knew who he was, from beginning to end.

Knowing that he was still by my side was the reason why I was able to remain calm, not panicked or heartbroken.

Scenes and scenes of the past three years have been replayed in Xi Le's mind. Those details that he once ignored, as well as those he thought were his concern for "Xi Yin", now when he thinks back, he realizes that the behavior behind the person involved is even deeper. motivation.

But is this all right?

Could it be that by revoking this most serious "accusation", he can open his heart to Du Nian and accept his confession without any grievances?

How is that possible... Xi Le said silently to himself in his heart.

He can't be that hasty, and he doesn't want to be a heartless person.The investigation into the death of her parents and Xi Yin's disappearance has not been settled so far. At this time, there are more doubts about Xi Yin's sudden appearance in Xi Zhuoyun's hometown and the inexplicable "Lost City". There are many question marks in Xi Le's mind. At this time, if he can still talk to Du Nian casually, unless he is crazy, normal people will definitely not be able to do such a thing.

As for the thoughts in Xi Le's mind, Du Nian guessed them effortlessly.

In fact, long before Du Nian confessed his love, he had expected Xi Le's reaction like this, and the reason why he chose to say it was just to reassure him, and not to let the child continue to think about it.

Seeing that "that time" is coming soon, there may not be any situation waiting for them ahead. Among the many uncertainties, he can at least tell him such a certain thing.

"Brother Nian," Wu Yi finally ended the long-term silence between him and Xi Le, looked at Du Nian and asked seriously: "Then shall we tell Xiao Le everything we know now?"

"Heh...it sounds like you guys are hiding more things from me than I thought." Xi Le laughed at himself.

Du Nian thought a little bit, and admitted cheekily: "He knows more than you, and I know more than him, why don't you come first, Wu Yi? I'll add after you finish."

Wu Yi frowned hesitantly: "Where do you want me to start?"

Du Nian: "Of course it's the hardest part to tell. We have to pick the hard bones first."

Wu Yi: "..." Then why don't you eat it yourself?

Du Nian: I don't want to be this villain today.

Wu Yi: ...

Xi Le watched the two people pass their eyes back and forth like a charade, as if he didn't exist, couldn't help but feel annoyed, and knocked on the coffee table with his knuckles: "Are you going to tell me or not?!"

"Say." Du Nian took it quickly, and made a "please" gesture to Wu Yi, "Let's get started."

Wu Yi glanced at him helplessly, and when he looked at the nervous and anxious expression on Xi Le's face, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Killing is nothing more than nodding the head, but if it is killing the heart, the time left by the injury will be very long, and it is often accompanied by a lifetime that is indelible.

Xi Le...how long will he need it?
