Chapter 5: Chance Encounters

"Then I'll kill you first, and then take her away, what do you think?" The man walked up to Wu Li'an step by step, raised his palm and wanted to cut it at his neck, but his arm stopped in mid-air for a long time, and he finally took it back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You're going to pay for your stubbornness today." With these words, he pushed the door open and disappeared into the dark night outside.

Wu Xi's stomach was growling uncontrollably, she glanced at her watch, it turned out that it was already twelve o'clock, so it was better to have lunch and then go back to the unit to pay the errand. She found a nearby restaurant, ordered a set lunch menu, and then sat patiently at her seat and waited.

A couple of men and women in front of them snuggled up to each other like swans, and the girl fed the salad on the plate to the man's mouth from time to time, "You have lost a lot of weight recently, you must eat more, otherwise I will feel distressed." Her voice is soft and glutinous, like a piece of fragrant and delicious gummies, which makes people want to chew on it carefully and taste it slowly.

The man was very useful, he pressed the girl's head to his shoulder, "If it weren't for you during this time, I really don't know how to survive, she is going to make trouble with me every few days, pulling me to find death and life, I really think she has gone crazy, and I don't want to stay with her for a minute." ”

The girl turned her face sideways and pecked lightly on the man's cheek, "Don't be too sad, everything will pass, as long as the two of us are not separated, everything will be there, you like children, I can have a few more for you." ”

The fork in Wu Xi's hand fell to the ground, she mechanically squatted down to pick it up, but the picture in her mind was still fixed on the girl's side face. How could it be her? Although it has been a year since the incident, that face is still imprinted in her mind like a knife, because she has looked in the mirror countless times, trying to see what is the difference between herself and that face, and why Zhu Yu abandoned herself and chose her.

Although time has passed now, seeing the girl with another man still makes her feel inexplicable. Should she be happy? Because he abandoned himself for the sake of a rich girl, but in the end he couldn't be with that girl. No, no, Wu Xi didn't have a little schadenfreude in her heart, she just felt surprised, surprised that the girl would leave Zhu Yu for such an unremarkable middle-aged man.

The girl seemed to feel that someone was staring at her behind her, and she turned her head, and their eyes met in midair. The girl paused for a moment, then whispered a few words to the man next to her, and the two put down the half-eaten food and walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.

"This is too much to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Wu Xi shrugged, "Are you afraid that I won't tell that man about her snatching her boyfriend?" She sighed, left the girl and Zhu Yu behind, and concentrated on dealing with the delicious meal in front of her.

It took Wu Xi several hours to finally get the manuscript out of the Loeb School in the evening, and after sending the finished manuscript to the director, she closed the computer and went to the kitchen, ready to cook a bowl of noodles for herself. When she opened the refrigerator, she found that there was a bowl of stewed chicken soup inside, which should have been left by Xu Xing for her to eat. Wu Xi took out the chicken soup and put it in the microwave, she looked at the red light waves inside, and her heart was also warm.

A corner of the curtain suddenly floated up, revealing the dark night outside. Wu Xi walked towards the window, about to close it, but she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and through the white cotton curtains, a black shadow could be vaguely seen floating outside. There were two green dots of light on the shadow, flickering on and off, staring in the direction where she was standing.

Wu Xi walked outside the house and took the horn, and then returned to the kitchen, but found that the dark shadow outside the window was gone. She slowly approached the window, holding her breath and lifting the curtains. Fortunately, except for a full moon and a few sparse lights outside, only the vast night remained. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close the window, when she was frightened by a fluffy ball of fur that came at her.

"Meow." A large, yellow-striped cat walked around her with its tail straight, occasionally rubbing its huge head against her trouser leg.

"Lu Wu, who are you trying to scare to death?"

Although he was scolding, Wu Xi still picked up this meat ball at once and rubbed it fiercely in his arms, this feeling of wantonly ravaging a divine beast was really refreshing. Lu Wu was dazed by her, and he couldn't bear to show his prototype, and let out a whimpering cry of mercy.

Finally Wu Xi put it down, she looked at Lu Wu's big green eyes, "Where are you wild, don't you want to protect me?" I've almost died many times and I haven't seen you come back. ”

Lu Wu ignored her accusation, and gently sniffed the horns on the ground with its wet little nose, and tugged at it a few times with its front paws.

Wu Xi picked up the horns, "You want to say that you have already sent this to me for self-defense, so you don't have to worry about me being harmed by those things?" She sighed faintly, "However, I don't seem to be able to use this thing, it also helped me injure a few monsters, and other than that, I didn't find any other use, last time Mo Zhixian locked me in the enchantment of the clock, this horn is completely useless, if Xu Xing hadn't arrived, I would have died a long time ago." ”

"Meow." Lu Wu put the horn on his head again, and it seemed to comfort her and let her try again.

Wu Xi reluctantly lifted the horn and concentrated on looking at its end, trying to find some clues from it, but the horn was like a bare stick, and it didn't show any special functions.

Lu Wu gave up his efforts, he stretched his waist and jumped onto the sofa, curled himself up in a ball, and after a while, he snored, leaving Wu Xi alone holding the horns and swaying left and right in the air.

The next evening, Wu Xi came to Loeb again, and she needed to take a few photos of the students in class and intersperse them with the interview script, so as to make the whole report more vivid and concrete. She picked a few classes with a good atmosphere and silently squatted at the back of the classroom to take pictures. But over and over again, until the camera's memory card was almost full, I still couldn't take a working photo.

Because, in every photo she took, there was a little boy, who stood timidly in front of the camera, nervously but earnestly looking at Wu Xi's eyes.

"Sister, please, can you help my mother?"
