"Brother, where are you now?"
A little further inside the waiting area, a man wearing black-framed glasses looked at the watch on his wrist. He was still holding the pick-up sign and complained to himself as he whispered into the phone.

The person on the other end of the line didn't seem to hear this, and there was silence amid the slight electric sound.

Xiao Yang nervously checked the time again, "Brother Xi? Brother, is your signal bad? It will be peak time soon, we have to get out quickly."

A slightly hoarse and lazy voice sounded, "Don't make noise, I didn't sleep well on the plane, and I have a headache."

When Xiao Yang heard this, his headache became even more anxious and he wiped the sweat off his forehead again.
The boss would do something weird when he got upset. The people in the company told Xiao Yang that he must take good care of the boss's emotions, otherwise the public relations fee would be deducted from his salary.

Although he said that, his salary had never actually been deducted, but he couldn't help but feel the thrill from time to time.
Like a sword of Damocles, it hangs over Xiao Yang's head.

When Xiao Yang thought of this, he couldn't help but complain a little, "Brother, why don't you go through the VIP channel? It's much more convenient than going this way. There are fewer people, and you don't have to sneak around like a thief."

The person on the other end of the phone hummed, "Xiao Yang, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Although the person was not in front of him, Xiao Yang still straightened his back involuntarily, "No, how could that be possible? I'm just offering some constructive suggestions, hahahahaha"

The person over there also laughed, but the laugh was cold and contained a hint of sarcasm.

"My itinerary has been exposed long ago. Going through the VIP channel is like asking for a traffic jam. It would be safer to pack carefully and go through the normal exit."

Xiao Yang said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's for sure, I didn't expect this."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but silently complain in his heart. The low pressure that followed this person like a shadow was probably unique wherever he went.

But what I said just now is indeed correct. Going through the normal exit caught the media off guard. Now people must be blocking the VIP channel, waiting eagerly with their knives sharpened.
"Hey, then brother, please wait in the VIP room for a while, don't come out, I'll be right away - oh, sorry!"

Xi Yu leaned against the smoking area, wearing a baseball cap on his head. When he lowered his head slightly, it could cover most of his face, leaving only some bangs hanging in front of his eyes. In addition, he also wore a pair of sunglasses.

This look is actually quite eye-catching, but fortunately the recent flights are filled with vacationers returning from overseas, and there are many who are more exaggerated than him. In comparison, Xi Yu seems very low-key.

As long as you wear a mask, no one can tell that the person printed on the highway billboard outside is standing here, holding a thin cigarette in his hand, smoking intermittently.

The exposed lower half of the face showed an excellent jawline, slightly curly black hair was tied into a small bunch at the back of the head, and two melanin rings were worn on the ear bone of the left ear, with a little cold light flashing on the metal surface.

Xi Yu leaned against the wall lazily, and this appearance attracted several young women passing by to look at him frequently. However, they did not recognize who he was. They just whispered a few words to each other and walked away with amazed eyes.

"——I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings just now, did you bump into me?"

Xi Yu exhaled the smoke from his mouth, bringing with it a hint of the cool scent of blueberries, and listened to Xiao Yang's panicked apology on the phone.

The airport signal was average, and Xiao Yang's voice was a little distorted on the phone. The voice of the person who was hit became even more blurred into a chaotic electric sound after it entered the microphone.

Xi Yu only heard someone from Xiao Yang's side vaguely say "It's okay".

He crushed his half-smoked cigarette and threw it in, then stood up and spoke into the phone, "Did you bump into someone?"

Xiao Yang hurriedly apologized again, "I was just looking for you, brother, and bumped into you."

Xi Yu hummed, pulled up the black mask that he had pushed down to his chin in order to smoke a cigarette, straightened up and rubbed his fingertips habitually. He immediately found a man among the scattered crowd at the airport who was holding a pick-up sign and bowing repeatedly to apologize.

"I see you, I'm coming over."
Xi Yu hung up the phone without waiting for Xiao Yang to reply. He had only taken two steps when his lazy gaze suddenly focused on the young man who waved his hand and passed by Xiao Yang.

She has a tall and straight figure, wrapped in a light-colored down jacket that looks warm and comfortable, with a thick blue scarf around her neck. From the back, you can see a few strands of light flaxen hair casually hanging down from the layers of scarves, looking lazy and casual.

Veins appeared on the back of Xi Yu's hand where he was holding the phone. He stared at the figure's back and felt a blood vessel in his neck throbbing.

The young man was carrying a backpack and pulling a suitcase. He hesitated for a moment before looking around and then decided to stand in an empty corner. However, he was facing the exit diagonally, and all that was left for Xi Yu was an ambiguous back.

Xi Yu placed his index finger on the phone's power button, and the default background screen lit up and then went out, then lit up again, over and over again.

Xiao Yang had already run away to somewhere out of sight. At this moment, his entire attention was focused on the young man who was some distance away from the crowd.

The young man was very quiet. After he stood still, he seemed to pull his rather eye-catching blue scarf again. The tip of his long flaxen hair curled up, forming a familiar arc.

But during these five years, Xi Yu impulsively stopped many people just for this vague sense of familiarity.

No one has that familiar pair of fox eyes. At the worst time, in order to attract page views, the media once wrote ambiguous reports, implicitly questioning whether Xi Yu was abusing drugs, which was why his emotions were frequently out of control.

With countless disappointments piling up, coupled with the embarrassed expressions of his agent and assistant, Xi Yu has gradually calmed down in the past two years and no longer has those unreasonable and impulsive behaviors.

Just on the surface.

Only he himself knew that every time he saw a familiar figure in the streets or anywhere else, his cold blood would churn like crazy, clamoring to fight against his reason, urging him to reach out and pull the person over, to see if it was the person who haunted him in his dreams every night. Just like now.

The young man seemed to be waiting for someone as well. He stood there quietly for a while. When no one came, he moved his feet twice, lowering his head and tapping the beat with his toes like a child.

Xi Yu felt that he had maintained his rationality for two years, but under the control of his restless emotions, his superficial calm was about to be easily broken.

The young man beat the rhythm for a while, reached out and tugged at his scarf again, and as if he had waited too long, he began to turn his neck and look around.

Because of the distance, Xi Yu couldn't see clearly. He could only see a small section of the slender white neck sticking out from the loose and thick dark blue scarf. It looked like a white and tender lotus root node that had been washed clean of mud to reveal its true appearance, or like a white rose with a fragile branch.

The light flaxen head turned slightly, just enough to reveal a little bit of his face to Xi Yu.

A female voice was heard among the voices in the distance, "Little——"

Suddenly, a familiar smooth voice came from nearby, "Brother!"

A figure wearing a suit, half a head shorter than Xi Yu and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses suddenly appeared in front of Xi Yu, blocking Xi Yu's gaze from looking at the young man over there.

"Brother, I'm here." Xi Yu was wearing sunglasses, and Xiao Yang couldn't see where the eyes behind the sunglasses were looking. However, seeing that Xi Yu didn't say anything, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and waved in front of Xi Yu's eyes.

Xi Yu pushed his hand away and looked over his shoulder into the distance again.

The young man seemed to have waited for the person who came to pick him up at the airport. He had left the corner where he had just stood and was now talking to a neatly short-haired girl in front of him. She had put on a large woolen hat on her head.

Xi Yu stared at the moving ball of wool and didn't say anything for a long time.

The woman hugged the young man, took the young man's suitcase, and the two walked out.
There is still only one back figure.

".Brother? Brother Xi?"

Xiao Yang lowered his head and saw Xi Yu's hand holding the phone move slightly, with veins visibly popping up on the back of his hand. His scalp went numb, and the events of a few years ago came back to his mind.

At that time, Xi Yu was on a concert tour. During the half-time break, he went out the back door to get some fresh air and suddenly disappeared within fifteen minutes.

The security guard said that Xi Yu saw someone, and then suddenly drove out without saying a word.

Xiao Yang was so scared at that time that he quickly found someone to stabilize the scene and then chased after him with other assistants. Finally, he found Xi Yu under the cross-city bridge.

After finding Xi Yu, Xiao Yang did not relax. Instead, he almost fainted after seeing the condition of the car.

Xi Yu was relatively low-key at that time, and his mind was not on the car. He was driving a convertible Porsche.
When they found Xi Yu by the lake, half of the front of the Porsche had already fallen into the lake, the bumper was crooked as if it had just been driven out of a repair shop, and no one knew where the license plate had been scratched.

Xi Yu sat on the shore, holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, with cigarette butts all around him. He looked at the lights on the other side of the river and smoked one cigarette after another without saying a word.

At that time, Xi Yu's hand holding the cigarette was trembling slightly with blue veins showing, just like it is now.

When Xiao Yang saw it for the first time, he thought Xi Yu was like this because of something sad. But later he found out that it was not the case. Xi Yu's face was extremely gloomy, just like the villain in the police and gangster movies who was chasing a blood feud.
There are only two words to describe the expression on his face: violent.

Later, Xiao Yang thought, it was a good thing that Xi Yu was found by the river instead of being taken away from the police station.

Xiao Yang put away his memories, swallowed, and tried to stand in front of Xi Yu again, putting on a very bright smile on his face.
"Brother Xi, the car is waiting outside, let's go."

Xi Yu lowered his head slightly and said without any emotion, "Ah?"

Xiao Yang clasped his hands together and tried to make a sad and pitiful expression, "Brother Xi, I have old parents and young children to take care of, and I also have a younger sister who is still studying at home. Brother Xi, you know Sister Xi Niao's temper, I can't leave here!"

Xi Yu didn't say anything. Just as Xiao Yang was quietly wondering whether to call Xi Yu's sister Xi Niao, he saw Xi Yu's hand holding the phone suddenly relax and hang down by his side like a puppet with its strings cut.

Xiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and blinked his eyes desperately, "Master, please come this way——"

"Don't blink." Xi Yu said expressionlessly, "It's disgusting."

Xiao Yang put on that tearful expression again, but he was indeed relieved in his heart.

They had all witnessed Xi Yu's paranoia. If he really went crazy, no one could stop him, and no one knew what would happen.
so far so good.

"Brother Xi, let's get in the car first. The car is parked outside the airport entrance. It's very close!"
