Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

The city in the heavy rain is hazy like an empty city.

White mist soaked in every corner, pale.

In the quiet attic, under the dim light of the sky, it feels a bit oppressive.

This is a quaint and exquisite four-story hexagonal loft. Looking from the third floor, you can see the whole area with a wide view.

At this moment, the young man sitting by the window is the only one in the entire attic.

The wind blowing in from outside blew away the young man's windbreaker, and raised the collar of the pink plaid shirt in a beautiful arc.

Xie Yuchen looked at the torrential rain outside, and the little drops of rain that came in hit his face, which felt cold to the touch.The mood is a little ethereal.

Holding the teacup with his slender and fair fingers, he took a sip, relishing the faint bitterness, which melted in his mouth, leaving a fragrance in his teeth.

Footsteps were heard outside.

"Master Hua, someone is here." A clerk walked to the door and stood there.

Then three people walked in, two men and one woman.

The two men saw Xie Yuchen and bowed together, "Master Hua."

"Brother Xiaohua!" The woman who followed ran directly to Xie Yuchen and called him with a smile.

Xie Yuchen smiled lightly, and asked Huo Xiuxiu to sit down, "You have to come here even under such heavy rain."

Huo Xiuxiu curled her lips and said, "Of course, your place isn't so boring."

Xie Yuchen smiled helplessly.Then he turned his head to look at the other two people and asked, "How's it going?"

The man on the left said: "The Changsha handicap has been taken back, and the other party has not made any move. The goods have also been taken back, and the people from the Zhang family have already left."

"Understood." Xie Yuchen nodded, "Remember, don't make any noise for now, I will deal with other things."

"Yes."

"Go down."

"Yes." After the man finished speaking, he led the people out.

As soon as the others left, Huo Xiuxiu grabbed the corner of her clothes and said worriedly: "Brother Xiaohua, what happened to you when you went to Changsha a while ago? Is it the Huo family..."

"It's okay," Xiao Hua interrupted her, "I just went to see the business over there, where did you think?"

Huo Xiuxiu frowned, but she didn't feel relieved about it. After thinking about it, she said, "I know about those things about the Huo family. Brother Xiaohua, you must be in trouble. I..."

"Xiuxiu, this is none of your business," Xie Yuchen sighed, "These are not important, you don't have to worry about them, just do what you want."

Xie Yuchen has never told Huo Xiuxiu about the disputes between the two families, including this trip to Changsha to deal with the conflict with the Huo family, and what their purpose is.He just didn't want her to know these complicated things.

Although Huo Xiuxiu lived in the Huo family, she was not very close to anyone except the deceased Huo Xiangu. Although she was a relative, she was alienated, but she still knew some things about the family.Xie Yuchen had no choice but to try his best to keep Huo Xiuxiu from intervening too much.

Moreover, Huo Xiuxiu prefers to stay with Xie Yuchen now. After all, the two of them have been playing together since they were young, and their relationship is like brother and sister. Huo Xiuxiu naturally prefers to be close to Xie Yuchen rather than the unfamiliar relatives of the Huo family.As for these matters, she only wanted to know Xie Yuchen's opinion.

"But," Huo Xiuxiu paused, looked at Xie Yuchen, "I don't want to embarrass you, I know you won't alienate me because of the family relationship, I often come to you and you are not impatient, you still recognize me Sister. I know too..."

"I don't find it difficult," Xie Yuchen shook his head and said, "Just don't have any grudges about these things, understand?"

Huo Xiuxiu lowered her head, "Yes."

Xie Yuchen sighed inwardly, looked outside and said nothing.His eyes were a little out of focus and he didn't know what to think.

Huo Xiuxiu also drank tea quietly and stopped talking.

A sudden burst of clear bells interrupted the silence between the two.

Xie Yuchen took out his mobile phone, saw who was calling, smiled, pressed the answer button and said, "Xiaoxie? What's the matter? I'm fine. Huh? You've arrived in Beijing? It's raining here now. It’s too big. Then I’ll pick you up, okay, I’ll talk about it later, goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, he twirled the phone's chain on his fingers a few times. Xie Yuchen looked at Huo Xiuxiu and said, "Wu Xie has come to Beijing. I'll pick him up at the airport. Are you coming?"

Hearing that it was Wu Xie, Huo Xiuxiu was stunned for a while, with complicated eyes, and finally said slowly: "No...you go, I'll just stay here for a while, don't worry about me."

"In that case, you will be alone. Are you really not going?" Xie Yuchen asked again.

Of course he knew why Huo Xiuxiu did this.Although Huo Xiangu's death was not directly related to Wu Xie, he was the one who brought Huo Xiangu's head out of the Zhang family's ancient building. Huo Xiuxiu couldn't accept the blow of Huo Xiangu's death, and she couldn't let go of it.

"No need, brother Xiaohua, go quickly. I'm fine." Huo Xiuxiu shook her head and pushed Xie Yuchen, "Go quickly."

Xie Yuchen said helplessly, "Okay. Then I'm leaving."

"Go ahead." Huo Xiuxiu smiled.

Seeing that she was really fine, Xie Yuchen walked out of the attic with peace of mind.

Huo Xiuxiu looked at the back of Xie Yuchen walking out, and sighed silently.

Seeing the master coming out, the guy outside hurriedly opened the car door and asked, "Master Hua, are you going back?"

"No, drive to the airport, I'll pick up my friend." Xie Yuchen got into the car and ordered.

"Yes."

The car started and gradually drove to the distance in the rain, disappearing in the mist.

The rain is getting smaller and smaller, and there is no longer the hazy feeling of being unable to see objects in the rain, and the tall buildings gradually become clear.

Pedestrians in twos and threes walked quickly on the street holding umbrellas.You can see the rain shelters of many buildings, and there are some people standing with umbrellas who did not expect the rain.

The stagnant water on the ground flowed rapidly and merged into the ground, occasionally passing vehicles splashed a splash of water.

Xie Yuchen looked at the passing scenery outside the car window, his mind went blank.There were too many things coming in, which made him a little tired.

More than ten minutes later, the car arrived outside the airport departure hall.

The guy took the umbrella out of the car and opened the back door.

Xie Yuchen got out of the car, took the umbrella, and walked into the waiting hall.

Looking around, looking for Wu Xie's figure.

Xie Yuchen's chic appearance in a windbreaker is the focus, and all the girls who come and go are full of nympho.

I have long been used to the attention ceremony, and Xie Yuchen ignored it all.

"Xiaohua, here!" A familiar voice came from the other side.

Xie Yuchen turned his head, and Wu Xie was walking towards him waving.

When Wu Xie approached, Xie Yuchen realized that Fa Xiao seemed to have changed. Compared with the naive look before, now he was more depressed than he should have been.

What made him what he is now?Xie Yuchen was puzzled.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Xie raised her hand and shook it in front of Xie Yuchen.

"Huh? Hehe...why do you suddenly want to play?" Xie Yuchen came to his senses and asked with a smile.

Wu Xie smiled lightly, and said, "Let's just relax when we have nothing to do."

"How are you doing recently? How are you doing?" Xie Yuchen said with a smile.

"That's it." Wu Xie pouted.

Xie Yuchen looked at him and said, "Is something wrong? You don't look very good."

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Is there..."

"No?" Xie Yuchen raised his eyebrows.

Wu Xie laughed and said, "What can I do? I'm here to play in Beijing, okay?"

"Yes, you just came to Beijing to play." Xie Yuchen nodded, then embraced Wu Xie's shoulders like a buddy, and said proudly: "Okay. Tell me, where to eat first."

"You tell me, I can do whatever I want," Wu Xie said.

"Well, then go..." Xie Yuchen thought for a while, "Let's go to the Crescent Hotel. Now it's the place where I live under the entrance of the hall. It has been changed a lot, and a Beijing opera program has been added. Sometimes I will sing a section Son."

"Okay." Wu Xie said with a smile, "Then you can sing a song and listen to it later?"

"Oh, come on, not everyone can afford to listen to my master's music." Xie Yuchen joked.

"Yes, yes, sir, your music is unparalleled in the world." Wu Xie agreed with a smile.

"Of course." Saying that, Xie Yuchen led Wu Xie out, "Let's go."

The figures of the two disappeared in the crowded airport hall.

But they would not know that not long after they left, two figures appeared at the customs inspection office.

One is dressed all in black, carrying a backpack, wearing a pair of sunglasses covering most of his face, and has an unruly evil smile, which makes people unpredictable; while the other is wearing a blue down jacket, with slightly long black bangs on his forehead. Covering his obsidian-like pupils, his whole body exudes an aura that strangers should not get close to. His perfect and indifferent handsome face makes all the female creatures around just look at it and their brains freeze.Only the exposed wrist part of his right sleeve was covered with white bandages.

The two of them were tall and slender, and their temperament became more and more serious, and there was a wave of nympho in the hall.

"Let's go, if you don't leave here, you will be surrounded by people." The black glasses looked at the surrounding situation, and then looked at Zhang Qiling who seemed to be fine at the center of the incident, feeling a little helpless.

Zhang Qiling remained expressionless and walked out of the hall.

The black glasses followed and asked, "Where do you want to go now?"

Zhang Qiling pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said, "It seems to be called... Crescent Hotel."

"Are you hungry?" Black Glasses asked.

"No, I just remember there." Zhang Qiling said lightly.

As for why it was there, Zhang Qiling himself didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to go there.I remember when I first came to Beijing, the first place I went to was there.
