Ninth Symphony

"I dont go."

After Du Nian pointed out Xi Yin's purpose, Xi Le's rejection was very straightforward.

Du Nian laughed helplessly, not surprised by his reaction, even completely expected.

Moisturizing his throat, Du Nian had just brewed up his emotions and was ready to "understand reason and move with emotion", but Xi Le saw through his intention at a glance and opened his mouth first.

Xi Le: "Don't persuade me, I will never go until I confirm that Uncle Zhong is fine."

"Lele." Du Nian looked at him and sighed.

Xi Le's gaze remained unchanged: "I know what you want to say, but don't worry, I'm not trying to get angry with Xi Yin... I've thought about it just now, it's inconvenient for me to go home at this time, without him Just stay over there, I won't go back and make trouble, just stay in Iloka and wait for Uncle Zhong's news—is that okay?"

The last question felt like he was struggling to impose it. It sounded a bit unintentional, but it was a manifestation of sincerity.

Du Nian stared at the child's serious expression, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then if there is no news from Uncle Zhong in a short time, are you going to wait forever?"

Just like when Xi Yin disappeared for three years, who can say for Uncle Zhong this time.

Xi Le heard what he meant, and after a few seconds of froze, he said as if he had made up his mind: "One week, I only wait for one week. If no one is found after a week, I will go with you to get the manuscript back first. "

"Okay, just a week." Hearing that Du Nian finally agreed, Xi Le couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Wu Yi is going back." Du Nian said again at this time.

Xi Le was stunned for a while and didn't have much reaction. She nodded and hummed.

He knew that Wu Yi must be in a hurry to go back to see Xi Yin.

It seems that Du Nian not only didn't tell him about Xi Yin's return to Xinfu, but even Wu Yi also kept it a secret. No wonder he said "he knows more than you, and I know more than him", This person has so many minds that it makes people feel tired even a little guessing.

Frankly speaking, Xi Le actually didn't understand the real purpose of Du Nian asking Wu Yi to go with him this time.Taking him out of Xinfu was out of protection, so what about Wu Yi?Is it also for his safety, or is there another reason?

Knowing that Wu Yi has always been thinking about Xi Yin in his heart, but he kept him from knowing Xi Yin's whereabouts until the news was exposed today, and he could no longer hide it, and then let him go back alone as if nothing had happened.Don't you worry about what will happen to him on the road now?Has the threat been lifted?What do these threats have to do with the Xi family?

And, the most important point - Uncle Wu's death.

When Xi Yin himself did not show up before, all the speculations about him were only at the stage of imagination, but now that he is back, people have to formally face the few life lawsuits that are "closely related" to him , especially in the case of Uncle Wu, there is a recording to prove that he met Uncle Wu within a few seconds before his death, how could he be free of suspicion?

Of course, it may not affect other people who don't know that the Xi family twins switched identities three years ago, and only a few people know about the recording, so it won't cause any concern for him—this fake Xi Le widespread suspicion.But Xi Le always had a feeling that Wu Yi seemed to have guessed that Xi Yin had something to do with his father's murder, because besides the normal yearning and worry in his occasional expression, there was a deeper layer conflicts, as if desperately struggling with himself.

I'm afraid, he has been trying to convince himself that the person he likes is not the murderer who killed his own father.

With such a complicated psychology, in Xi Le's imagination, when Wu Yi and Xi Yin meet again, the scene will definitely be very embarrassing... If it were him, he might not be able to keep calm when he sees Xi Yin again at this time. Someone has to pull him a little by the side.

So Wu Yi won't have any problems alone?What is Du Nian planning...

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his brain became. Xi Le himself didn't realize that he had subconsciously held the small and delicate Dellinger in his pocket, and gently rubbed the cold shell with five fingers, as if this would make him feel better. My heart calmed down a little.

At this time, Du Nian suddenly opened the curtains in the room, and the morning sun poured in instantly, and the sudden bright light made Xi Le squint his eyes.

Outside the window, the sky was bright, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and the whole town seemed to be shrouded in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

It would be great if people's state of mind could be as peaceful and stable as this.

If he could have fewer doubts and just go along with it, he would probably be able to live a relaxed and happy life like most people here, and only need to worry about his own food and clothing every day.

Xi Le suddenly thought, now that Xi Yin has returned, he doesn't need to pretend anymore, does that also mean that he can finally live in the way he likes.

Wait until you find Uncle Zhong, get back the manuscript, and then work with Xi Yin to stabilize the current situation... Maybe...

"Hello, it's me." Du Nian's cell phone suddenly connected interrupted Xi Le's train of thought.

He saw that he listened quietly to the person on the other end of the phone at first, but after a few seconds, his brows suddenly clustered together into a "Chuan" character, and his expression became extremely dignified.

Xi Le felt an inexplicable "thump" in his heart.

"Okay, I got it. I'll hurry back as soon as possible and bring the person back to the bureau for identification first." After listening to everything, Du Nian just said this and hung up the phone.

Xi Le's heart beat a little violently, and he couldn't explain why, but he felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

He stared at Du Nian and asked, "Is there anything new?"

Du Nian turned his head and looked at him seriously, as if he was wondering whether to tell him the content of the call just now.

"...What the hell is...?" Xi Le suppressed his flustered feeling and guessed, "Is there any news about Uncle Zhong's whereabouts?"

Du Nian pursed her lips slightly, she didn't say yes, but she didn't deny it either.

"...Take the person back to the bureau for identification first..."

These words suddenly exploded in Xi Le's mind like thunder.

If... if the person is alive...does identification still need to be done? ...But even if Uncle Zhong--

——Why do you need to do an appraisal... Isn't it clear at a glance...

Xi Le felt that after three years, he was going to be driven crazy again by the feeling of not knowing whether the person he cared about was dead or alive.

"Du Nian, tell me..." Xi Le's tone was almost begging.

Du Nian was actually very embarrassed, stared into his eyes for a while, and realized that he could no longer evade this time, and finally said with some consideration: "Just now, people from the bureau were in the western suburbs of Xinfu. In an empty factory building in the development zone, a body was found scorched by fire. Judging from the residue on the body, it is more likely to be Uncle Zhong..."

Xi Le: "Burnt... dead body..."

He repeated it blankly, with a dazed expression as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

Du Nian couldn't help taking a deep breath, approached him and gently hugged him, and said in a calm voice, "Lele, don't worry, the identity hasn't been confirmed yet, maybe it's not him."

Listening to his words, Xi Le felt that even he himself didn't believe it.

But Du Nian's voice was still coming from his ears word by word, he said: "Lele, I have to go back to Xinfu today, if I take the plane, I will try to go back and forth on the same day, you just stay here and wait for me , don’t go anywhere, is there anything we can discuss when I come back?”

Maybe it was because he didn't hear Xi Le's response for a while, so Du Nian's hand tentatively landed on his back, and patted it carefully twice, just thinking that the child was acquiescing and ready to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't Thinking of Xi Le suddenly raised his head, pushed his hand away and stood a little farther away, his eyes were as black as thick ink, and the usual clarity could no longer be seen.

He only heard him say word by word: "I want to go back too."

Du Nian: "... Lele, it's inappropriate for you to go back at this juncture."

It was obvious that it had already been explained before, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen suddenly.

Xi Le has already made up his mind.

This time, he must confirm it with his own eyes.

"If it's not suitable, I'll make a decision."
