Xu Cen went to bed later than Duan He at night, but woke up earlier than Duan He. The sky outside was still not bright, and the distance between the two of them silently shortened after they fell asleep.

Duan He's face was right in front of him, probably because the quilt was a bit thick, Duan He's hand stretched out from under the quilt, and rested on Xu Cen's body.

Such a posture made people blush inexplicably. Although there was a quilt between Duan He's hand and Xu Cen, Xu Cen seemed to be able to feel Duan He's body temperature through the quilt.

Although Duan He closed his eyes, his brows were still furrowed, his eyelashes were trembling slightly, and his lips were still tightly pursed. He must have had some bad dreams, Xu Cen thought so.

The sky outside became brighter, and Duan He's face became clearer and clearer in front of him. He was a bit greedy that he could look at Duan He so unscrupulously in such a peaceful morning.

Xu Cen gently took Duan He's hand away, and carefully placed it under the quilt.

The sound of ding ding dong dong was already coming from outside, it was the sound of Duan He's mother making breakfast, Xu Cen quietly got up from the bed and went to the toilet to wash up.

As soon as he entered the toilet, what happened last night was played back in front of his eyes, Duan He's face, Duan He's lips, everything about Duan He... Xu Cen shook his head and told himself not to think about it anymore.

After quickly washing up, Xu Cen went to the kitchen to say hello to Duan's mother. Duan's mother turned to look at him, a little surprised, "Xiao Xu, didn't you sleep well last night? Why did you look so bad?!"

Xu Cen touched his face. He noticed it when he was in the bathroom. He thought that washing his face would make him feel more refreshed, but he still worried his aunt.

Xu Cen said to his aunt with a smile, "Auntie, no, I slept well, maybe I had a nightmare at night, and I don't look very good in the morning."

As soon as she heard the nightmare, Duan's mother started talking, asking Xu Cen what he dreamed of, explaining Xu Cen's dream, and saying a lot of praise for Xu Cen by explaining the dream. .

Xu Cen has been helping Duan's mother in the kitchen all morning.

After what happened yesterday, Xu Cen was actually a little afraid to face Duan's mother, but Duan's mother's mother-like aura kept him approaching. He was too reluctant, reluctant to part with Duan He, reluctant to part with Duan Mother He is reluctant to part with this ordinary but warm family.

If there is really something between him and Duan He, Duan He's mother may be so angry that she will kick him out if she finds out.

Xu Cen laughed at himself.

After breakfast was ready, Duan He hadn't gotten up yet, Xu Cen was going to call Duan He, but was stopped by Duan's mother, "Xiao Xu, I'll go, Auntie will show you how to wake up a pig with the correct posture today! "

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the bedroom. Xu Cen followed behind. When he opened the door, Duan He was still asleep on the bed.

Duan's mother immediately started to pull Duan He's ear, and pulled Duan He's ear up, and Duan He woke up immediately. With this method and strength, he knew it was his mother without opening his eyes.

Duan He opened his eyes a little annoyed, his ears were reddened by his mother, he looked sleepily at the aggressive mother standing beside the bed, "Mom, it hurts!"

Duan's mother was still holding Duan He's ear. Duan He stretched out her hand and tried to free his ear from his mother's clutches. His mother looked down at him, "The pain doesn't hurt yet?! I still have to make breakfast. Bring you to bed?!"

"No, no, I'll eat by myself." Duan He rubbed his eyes.

But my mother didn't intend to let him go. If she doesn't nag for a day, she won't be a mother. "You see, you are much younger and more sensible. If you get up and help me do things before dawn, you will know how to sleep."

Duan He turned his head slightly and saw Xu Cen behind his mother. The two looked at each other, and they both looked unhappy. They probably didn't sleep well last night.

Duan He didn't talk back to his mother anymore, and got up obediently.Seeing that he got up, my mother stopped nagging him, turned around and kindly took Xu Cen to the dining room.

Duan He watched from behind, feeling a little relieved, at least Xu Cen got along well with his family, and Xu Cen didn't reject his family because of him.

After breakfast, Duan He's parents went to work as usual, Duan He couldn't go out because of his back, and the arduous task of taking Xu Cen out to play that his mother entrusted to him could only come to an end temporarily.

The National Day holiday was few days away. He and Xu Cen spent two days quietly at home. He was playing with his mobile phone and watching TV in the living room, while Xu Cen was reading in the bedroom.

The two of them didn't disturb each other, and they could only look at each other when they were eating, but Xu Cen mostly didn't look at him, and he tried to avoid Xu Cen's eyes as much as possible.

Duan He would still go to the bedroom to sleep at night, but Duan He would wait until very late every time. Xu Cen went in after he fell asleep, and in the morning Xu Cen left the bedroom before he woke up, so these days he and Xu Cen Cen seldom spoke much, and seldom met each other.

The two of them seemed to be at an impasse, and they were coldly treating each other and this relationship in a tacit understanding.

Duan He doesn't know how long this atmosphere between them will last, but as long as Xu Cen is willing, he can cooperate unconditionally, because he doesn't want to make Xu Cen difficult.

Duan He originally thought that they would continue like this until the vacation was accepted, maybe it would still be like this when they returned to school, but that seemingly peaceful situation was broken by that sudden phone call.

It was very late that night, Duan He and Xu Cen were both asleep, and Xu Cen's cell phone rang suddenly. In the silent night, the ringtone of the cell phone was particularly piercing.

Both Duan He and Xu Cen were woken up. Xu Cen found the phone and quietly ran to the balcony to answer it. Although Duan He woke up, he didn't make any movement and continued to pretend to be asleep on the bed. He was afraid that Xu Cen would call later. After returning from the phone, it will be awkward for two people to face each other.

Duan He was lying on the bed, but his ears were always paying attention to Xu Cen on the balcony. Although Xu Cen's voice was kept low, in the silent night, the sound could be heard from the balcony to Duan He's ears in the bedroom.

"Hey."

"..."

"Oh, hello. What's the matter?"

"..."

Duan He couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, he could only hear Xu Cen's voice, and he didn't know who was on the other end of the phone and what he was talking to Xu Cen.

Xu Cen's voice came over again, but this time the tone was obviously different, with a rising tone, Xu Cen was a little excited.

"What did you say?!"

"..."

"I, I see, I, I'm not in Anqing now, I'll go there right away!"

"..."

"It's okay, please take care of her first, I'll try to come here as soon as possible!"

"..."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Duan He was confused in the room, who is this person?Where is Xu Cen going?Anqing?she?Who is it again?What's the relationship with Xu Cen?Who is helping to take care of it?

Duan He didn't understand, but he had never seen Xu Cen have such a big mood swing, and his voice was trembling.

From Xu Cen's words, where should he be going? Does that mean he is leaving? !

Xu Cen gradually came in from the balcony, Duan He couldn't pretend at this time, sat up and turned on the light, the surroundings suddenly lit up, both of them didn't quite get used to it.

After getting used to it, Duan He saw excitement, expectation, and even a trace of fear on Xu Cen's face.

what's the problem?

Duan He was worried about Xu Cen, so he asked directly, "Are you leaving?"

When Xu Cen entered the door and saw Duan He woke up, he didn't react too much. His mind was full of what he said on the phone just now. He had to go back to Anqing immediately. Now there were no tickets. He was going to buy the earliest ticket tomorrow morning. Shuttle back.

Xu Cen was a little dazed. He sat by the bed, took out his mobile phone and began to look at the train tickets. The bus was not working.

Duan He felt a little upset when he saw that Xu Cen ignored him, but he also felt that something was wrong with Xu Cen. Who was the person who called just now, and what did he say to Xu Cen?

Duan He went over and pressed Xu Cen's cell phone. Xu Cen was looking at the ticket information when Duan He suddenly blocked his view. He looked up at Duan He angrily, "Let go."

Duan He didn't want to anger Xu Cen, so he let go of his hand, but he was still worried about Xu Cen. He squatted down and looked at Xu Cen, and asked softly, "What happened? Can you tell me?"

Duan He's gentle tone brought Xu Cen back to reality, and he stopped checking the tickets. He tried to calm down, and when he saw Duan He, he suddenly didn't panic so much. Duan He seemed to be his reassurance.

Xu Cen's voice trembled, "Duan He, I must go back to Anqing immediately, and I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let's go back to Anqing, please tell me what happened first, okay? I'm worried." Seeing Xu Cen's dazed look, Duan He put everything behind him, why should he stay away from Xu Cen , Why only be friends with Xu Cen, what not to touch Xu Cen too much, all thrown to the Pacific Ocean.

He held Xu Cen's trembling hand and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of it with you if there is anything."

Xu Cen looked at Duan He's firm eyes and settled down a little, "It was a policeman who called me just now."

When Duan He heard the word police, his heart skipped a beat. Why did the police call Xu Cen?Duan He had doubts but did not interrupt Xu Cen, he listened to Xu Cen continue.

"He said, he might have found my sister..." Xu Cen was a little incoherent, and Duan He probably understood the whole cause and effect from Xu Cen's intermittent words.

Xu Cen has an older sister, which Duan He knew before, but Xu Cen's older sister left him when Xu Cen was very young. It was snatched away by human traffickers, and Xu Cen was probably involved in this, because Xu Cen has always felt guilty about this matter.

After Xu Cen's sister disappeared that year, Xu Cen has been looking for it, but there has been no news. Until this evening, Police Officer Li who was in charge of the disappearance of Xu Cen's sister suddenly called Xu Cen.

It is said that the police have just cracked a case of women abducting and trafficking. According to the suspect, the police found a group of women who were abducted and sold to remote mountainous areas. The in-depth investigation of this case found that the local abduction and trafficking of women is extremely common.

The police visited many places and found that in a small village, dozens of women who were married and had children had been trafficked here.

The police fully questioned the opinions of the parties, and brought back a group of women who were forced to marry and still wanted to escape.

The police actively contacted the families of these women to help send them home, but there was a woman in her 20s who was a little delirious. She didn’t know her name, her family, or her home address. She just kept saying He said that he is from Anqing and has a younger brother.

The police in charge of the case immediately contacted the Anqing police. Officer Li thought of Xu Cen when he heard about it. Xu Cen’s sister didn’t leave any photos or video materials back then. All the information about her was based on the description of the neighbors. Portrait, after more than ten years, no one knows what the little girl looked like at that time.

So Officer Li found Xu Cen and asked him to go back and identify whether this somewhat delirious woman was his sister, the little girl who was forcibly taken away by several men back then.
