if only hug

"Buzz—" the phone by the bed vibrated.

Wu Xie turned over, sighed, and grabbed the phone with her eyes closed, "Hello..."

"Wu Xie!" A sharp female voice came from the other end of the phone, and Wu Xie sat up in shock: "Uh, Mom."

"You kid hasn't gotten up yet, what time is it..."

Wu Xie raised her head and looked out the window, the weather is fine today, and most of the snow has melted: "I'm getting up right now, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's boring to be alone with no one at home," Wu's mother's voice softened, and she sounded apologetic, "I just negotiated a business a few days ago, and it takes time to operate it. Dad may not be able to go back, so..."

"Oh, I see, it's okay," Wu Xie scratched his messy hair, "Anyway, brother is at home..."

"Ah?" The other end of the phone seemed surprised, "Qi Ling is at home? Then...you... get along well?"

"Well, it's good," Wu Xie replied naturally, and then he was a little strange, "What's wrong?"

"Uh, ah, it's okay, that's good, that's good..." The other end of the phone was silent for a long while, "Wu Xie, we can't go back after the Chinese New Year. Mom will definitely come back to accompany you after the Chinese New Year, okay?"

"Well, I see, it's okay, Mom," Wu Xie put on his slippers and walked to the window, "Just take care of yourself."

"Well, don't worry about your mother and me. Ah, by the way, I gave you a pocket money. It's Chinese New Year, go buy some delicious and fun things, and take care of yourself, understand?"

"Ah."

"Let's just say that first. Someone is calling me, so I'll hang up first."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xie lay on the window sill and looked at the remnant snow in front of the courtyard. The air after the snow was clear and the view was very good. There were a few firecrackers in the distance. Wu Xie picked up the phone and looked at it. Ten, 9:40.

After recuperating for more than half a month, the injury on his foot has healed, Wu Xie finished washing, and ran to Pokerfing's room in a hurry.

"Brother—" Wu Xie pushed open the door without knocking. The room was neat, but there was no one there.

Where can he go if this stuffy oil bottle is not in the room?Wu Xie looked around with her arms akimbo, Zhang Qiling's room was still very simple, but compared to before, there were finally more items that could prove that someone lived there, and this room undoubtedly had a more "human" flavor.Thinking of this, Wu Xie couldn't help feeling a little proud.

When the voice of "Gu—" came, Wu Xie sighed, Zhang Bo had also gone back to celebrate the New Year, and there were only two people left in Nuo Da's house.In fact, Wu Xie doesn't particularly hate celebrating the New Year alone. After such a long time, he has long been used to it. When he was young, he always went to Lao Tiao's house for the New Year holidays, or went to the orphanage with Wang Meng to accompany the children, but this year...

Just stay at home.

Thinking about it, Wu Xie went downstairs and began to pick up in the kitchen, removing some not-so-fresh vegetables, and what was left to eat were instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and canned food...

Wu Xie shook his head, Zhang Qiling is really ascetic to the extreme, and his casualness with food is simply outrageous—except for carrots, of course!

I don't know what he likes to eat, so Wu Xie squatted in front of the refrigerator and thought about it. I haven't learned anything else in the past half a year, but my cooking skills have improved a lot.That's right, staying with this boring oil bottle every day, you can't order takeaway every day.However, at this point, Wu Xie is very grateful to him, because at the beginning, no matter how unpalatable the food he cooked, that guy would eat up all of it, which made Wu Xie very encouraged.After all, sometimes there is too much salt, and he can't eat it himself.

However, this also shows that this guy is completely indifferent to food.Could he have no sense of taste?Wu Xie was amused by his own thoughts, that's all, let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and come back, anyway, it's Chinese New Year today.

It was the first time to celebrate the new year with Poker Fing, and for some reason, Wu Xie felt a little bit of anticipation inexplicably.

After going out, Wu Xie realized when he came to the supermarket that it was a complete mistake to go out today!Isn't it said that New Year's Eve is a day for reunion at home?Why...how come there are so many people?

Looking at the crowded supermarket, Wu Xie was a little at a loss. He pushed the trolley and walked in the vegetable section, picking out some side dishes. Just as he was about to push through the crowd and go to the meat section, a sharp cry suddenly came from near the cashier.

"Catch the thief—"

Wu Xie raised her head upon hearing the sound, and saw a middle-aged woman frantically pushing away from the crowd, desperately chasing a yellow-haired man in a black jacket. Wu Xie took a closer look, and found that this figure looked familiar.

"Catch the thief—" The woman looked very anxious, Wu Xie threw off the cart, jumped over the guardrail and chased out: "Stop—"

"Hey, don't run." Wu Xie shouted while running.

The yellow-haired man suddenly paused when he heard his voice, taking advantage of this, Wu Xie chased after him in two steps.

There was a muffled sound of falling to the ground with a "bang", Wu Xie looked up, but the yellow-haired figure was gone, just two steps forward, a wallet suddenly landed firmly in his palm with a "snap".Wu Xie hurriedly caught it, and then took a closer look, only to see that the yellow hair was pressed to the ground, with his face pressed against the floor, and he couldn't see clearly.

Wu Xie stepped forward, but the person holding down the yellow hair suddenly raised his head, Wu Xie froze for a moment, this person looks so familiar!

Wearing a pink shirt, a black suit jacket, and a pair of light red sunglasses, she looks very delicate, a bit like a girl: "You are..."

The pink shirt also seemed puzzled, and looked at Wu Xie.

"My wallet..." came the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Here." Wu Xie raised her wallet and waved it towards the crowd. The middle-aged woman looked up and ran over gratefully: "Oh, thank you so much!"

"Uh, it's not me, it's him." Wu Xie pointed at the pink shirt embarrassingly, the middle-aged woman was stunned, turned her head to look, and suddenly screamed: "Ah—"

Wu Xie quickly covered her ears.

"You...you...you are that...that..." The middle-aged woman was extremely excited, pointing at the pink shirt, a little incoherent.

"It's me." The pink shirt smiled politely, then handed the yellow hair in his hand to the security guard who came.

"It's you, it's really you, you are the opera singer, called... called..." The middle-aged woman suddenly couldn't remember her name, and her face flushed anxiously.

"My name is Xie Yuhua." As she spoke, the pink shirt took out a wet towel and began to wipe her hands.

"That's right, that's Xie Yuhua, Xie Yuhua..." As she spoke, the middle-aged woman began to rummage through her bag.

This person is really particular, Wu Xie looked at him sullenly, no, Xie Yuhua?

"Xiaohua?" Wu Xie suddenly remembered.

"You are..." Pink Shirt frowned, looked at him again, and said suddenly, "Wu Xie?"

"It's me," Wu Xie was very happy, "Why are you here?"

"Well, it's a long story," the pink shirt glanced around, attracted by the voice of the middle-aged woman just now, and the crowd began to gather more and more, "Let's talk about it in another place."

"Can you sign it for me, please?" The middle-aged woman stopped Xiaohua, found a notebook somewhere, and handed it over excitedly, "My mother is your loyal fan."

Xiaohua hesitated for a while, and finally took it, signed it as quickly as possible, and handed it over politely: "Thank you for your likes, but I'm sorry, if I don't leave again, I will cause a commotion, please forgive me." He dragged Wu Xie away without looking back.

In the coffee shop, Lisa Ono's voice lingered faintly in her ears. Wu Xie sat at the table, watched Xiao Hua make the fourth call, and asked with her head propped up, "Xiao Hua, what happened?"

"It's a long story." Xiaohua hung up the phone, took a sip of coffee, sighed, and looked at Wu Xie: "Why are you there?"

"It's a supermarket there, of course I went shopping," Wu Xie was a little strange, and smiled, "It's you, why have you become a public figure all of a sudden after not seeing you for so long."

Xiao Hua was Wu Xie's childhood friend. When her grandfather was still there, she would go back to her hometown every Chinese New Year.Xiaohua's house and Grandpa Wu Xie's house are very close, and as time goes by, the two of them gradually started to play together.Later, Grandpa Wu Xie passed away, and Xiao Hua also moved to Beijing, and the two gradually lost contact. After more than ten years, they did not expect to meet again here.

"You don't know, after I moved to Beijing, some accidents happened in my family. Didn't I always learn opera from my relatives? Later, I started doing it as a career, and gradually became successful. It is considered a small success in this industry." Fame," Xiao Hua's tone sounded very flat, she smiled and said, "Of course, young people like you usually don't know me."

"Uh... That's true," Wu Xie touched his head, a little embarrassed, "Then why did you come to Hangzhou?"

Xiao Hua took a sip of her coffee and shook her head: "This is too complicated, I can't explain it clearly."

"Oh. Wu Xie was a little puzzled. Although he was very curious, since Xiao Hua didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

Being speechless for a while, Wu Xie felt a little embarrassed. Although they were childhood friends, in fact, the two of them really didn't have many topics in common.

Xiaohua answered the phone again, her face was a little unhappy, she lowered her head and said, "Wu Xie."

"what happened?"

"How much do you know about Old Nine?" Xiao Hua asked cautiously.

"Old Nine Gates?" Wu Xie was very surprised, and then shook his head, "I don't know very well, I only know that it was nine antique dealers from a long time ago, and our Wu family is also there."

"You...why do you ask this?" Wu Xie looked up.

Xiao Hua hesitated, looked at Wu Xie, and said, "I'm looking for someone."

"one person?"

"Well, this person has a great relationship with Lao Jiumen. I followed the clue to Hangzhou, but the clue was suddenly cut off." Xiao Hua ordered another cup of coffee, "I was wondering if this person has something to do with you .”

"Me?" Wu Xie was surprised: "Why do you say that? Who is this person? Why do you want to track him down?"

"Wu Xie, I'll tell you something, don't be too surprised," Xiaohua stroked the coffee cup and glanced at him, "Of course, you can also pretend that I didn't say anything."

"Tell me." Wu Xie felt his curiosity was completely aroused.

"Everyone in our Old Ninth Sect is under surveillance," Xiao Hua's expression was serious, as if she was joking, "I still don't know who this person who is watching us is and what his purpose is, but——"

"As long as we are members of the old nine sects, our every move will be monitored. I think you are no exception to this point."

"What did you say..." Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the sister Xing she met when she first entered the Zhang family. Observation and research over a long period of time.

"You mean," thinking of this, Wu Xie couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, "this person who watches over me is right by my side?"

"Well," Xiao Hua put down the coffee cup, "It may be in the light, or it may be in the dark."

"Hehe..." Wu Xie smiled lightly, he didn't want to believe that the one who stayed by his side since he was a child was always itchy?Wang Meng?No matter who it was, he didn't want to believe it. He would rather believe that Xiao Hua was lying, but the truth about Sister Xing was right in front of him. What are you doing?"

Xiao Hua shook her head: "This is exactly what I'm looking for."

Wu Xie thought for a while, then asked again: "Who is the person you said you were chasing?"

"He is the one who has been monitoring me," Xiao Hua sighed, "He is a buddy of my cousin, who has been in our Xie family since my father's generation, and has been with me for more than ten years, but he never expected... "Xiaohua didn't continue talking.

"Then how did you find out?" Wu Xie was a little emotional, the human heart is indeed the most terrifying thing.

"No matter how perfect a person does things, there will always be mistakes. I have noticed the abnormality since a long time ago," Xiaohua propped her head, her tone was calm, "But every time I want to track down something, there will always be clues. It was cut off suddenly, so I began to wonder if there was an internal response by my side, Wu Xie—”

Xiao Hua suddenly changed her tone, and looked at Wu Xie, "You won't understand my bad life. I've experienced too many of these things, so there's nothing to worry about, but you..."

Wu Xie lowered his head, the situation in Xiaohua's house is very chaotic, he knew it when he was a child.Several uncles and aunts in their family were very cruel and merciless. They did not know how many ruthless methods they had done to understand the family's property. Xiaohua was the eldest grandson. It must have been after moving to Beijing that the conflict finally broke out.Wu Xie didn't know how Xiao Hua managed to suppress the situation by herself, it must have been very difficult.

Wu Xie sighed. Indeed, his living environment was too comfortable, and it was impossible for him to be as sensitive as Xiaohua. That's why he was so insensitive to the changes around him for so long.Xiaohua didn't mean anything malicious, he told him this just to remind him, but——

"This person is probably in the dark." Wu Xie took a sip of coffee, "I trust the people around me."

"Wu Xie, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still innocent," Xiao Hua smiled, "I just remind you to pay more attention."

"Well, I understand," Wu Xie nodded, and glanced at Xiao Hua, "By the way, you just said that this person is likely to have something to do with me, why is that?"

"This..." Xiao Hua hesitated, "I don't know if I should say it, do you want to know?"

"Tell me." Wu Xie was a little uneasy.

Xiaohua paused, and said, "This person has always pretended to be very good before, but recently he suddenly left in a hurry. I felt a little abnormal, so I deliberately let him go, and then tracked him all the time, trying to find out the instigator behind the scenes. By."

"But after this person arrived in Hangzhou, he lost the news. The people I have deployed are all elites. If this person hadn't deliberately avoided hiding, he would not have been found," Xiaohua said calmly, but Wu Xie felt dizzy all over his body. Cold, "and—"

"I'm sorry Wu Xie, I also asked someone to check some news about your Wu family, and I found that the two time points between you and that person are completely consistent."
