Chapter 160 Xiaoyu going to the United States
Regarding the sudden turn of his head, and then seeing a girl with shoulder-length short hair, with bangs parted on both sides exposing her forehead, wearing an orange top and blue jeans appearing behind him, Wu Hyuk seemed to have already known this. No longer surprised, he just looked at the girl who suddenly appeared behind him, raised the small bottle of Coca-Cola in his hand, and greeted her with a smile on her face.
Xiaoyu, whose full name is Chen Xiaoyu, is Wu He's classmate since he was seven years old. He has a somewhat weird personality and likes to pay attention to strange things.
The biggest feature is that they are elusive and walk silently. Maybe you will be in a daze, and then suddenly turn your head and you can see the other person behind you.
In addition to being a somewhat maverick little girl, she is also the creator of the future "Dragon Team", the future Sheriff of "District [-]", the "former queen" of the future Shadow Corps, a Boy Scout, a T-girl, and The leader of the T Legion and the "real" protagonist of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".
Of course, if it were just that the name, personality, and appearance were similar, Wu Hyuk wouldn't be so sure.
When he first met Xiaoyu, Wu He was only seven years old. At that time, Xiaoyu showed an extraordinary personality.
At the beginning, Wu Hyuk only thought that he had the same name and similar personality, and paralyzed himself with the thought that in the infinite world, everything was possible.
However, because of his sincerity, Wu He dedicated himself to building a good relationship with Xiaoyu, asking about each other's family situation in his spare time to determine what the situation was like.
But after all, Xiaoyu was still young at the time, and Wu He didn't recognize all his relatives in his previous life. It was obviously a bit embarrassing to expect Xiaoyu to know this.
Therefore, after searching to no avail, Wu He also conducted self-reflection and then targeted Xiaoyu's parents.
Although there is not much representation in the original work, Xiaoyu's family situation is actually pretty good to be honest. After all, being able to send your children to the United States at will is not something ordinary families can do these days.
Xiaoyu's father is in the clothing business and her mother is a fashion were quite busy in normal times. Wu He visited Xiaoyu's house many times and the other person's parents were not at home.
After many more contacts, now on the pretext of being interested in "archeology", Xiaoyu's father found out that Chen Long was a cousin, and confirmed that he was in the United States and working as an archaeologist. .
And there is indeed a "dad" who does antique business in Chinatown...
In other words, the world Wu Hyuk lives in is not the parallel world with a slightly slower timeline that he originally thought before he was seven years old, but a magical world with a cycle of yin and yang, and a balance between good and evil...
Its name is - "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".
……
Wu He was very enthusiastic towards Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu, who had obviously come to him on his own initiative, did not look so happy at this time.
Her eyes were lowered, her head was lowered, her hands were behind her back and her little feet in sneakers were kicking on the floor. She seemed to have something on her mind and just didn't talk properly. Her unhappy look was almost written directly on her face... …
Seeing the other party's appearance like this, Wu He's heart suddenly thumped, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart...
He was very familiar with Xiaoyu's appearance. He had known her for four or five years. Whenever something happened, the other party would basically behave like this.
But standing at the door and talking is nothing after all. Although Wu He originally wanted to go out for a walk, he is not in a hurry now.
He directly reopened the door that had just been closed, and then turned to Xiaoyu and said:
"You seem to have no energy? What's the matter? If you have anything to do, come in with me first."
It was not the first time for Xiaoyu to come to Wu He's house, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She walked in behind Wu He, but she still didn't speak along the way, looking unhappy.
It wasn't until Wu Hyuk took out the ice cream from the refrigerator that she regained some of her energy.
"Come on, why don't you have some ice cream to calm down beforehand? It's your favorite strawberry flavor."
Xiaoyu took the ice cream, finally raised her head and showed a bright smile to Wu He.
The previous depression seemed to disappear at this moment. Looking at Wu He who was holding a bottle of Coke opposite her, she hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment:
"Well, Wu Hyuk, we are friends, right?"
Looking at Xiaoyu's appearance, Wu He suddenly frowned.
Of course, it's not that Wu He has any objection to Xiaoyu calling him a friend. After all, the two have been in contact for so many years. Neither of them has any other friends, and they are inseparable most of the time. Let alone friends, if it weren't for their physical appearance, It's really hard to believe that even if you call me brother and sister, some people will believe it.
The reason why Wu He really frowned was that he didn't quite understand why Xiaoyu said that? Suddenly, Wu He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly there was a bit of evil on his face, and he asked:
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Is that blind guy talking about anything in your ears?"
"Which guy is that mean-mouthed?!"
"Is it Li Hua?! Or Li Lei?! Or is it Han Meimei?!"
With Xiaoyu’s maverick personality, what troubles will she encounter on a daily basis?You can basically get a glimpse of the other party's treatment in school by looking at the original work.
Even here in Hong Kong, Xiaoyu has not yet met Uncle Long and has not experienced those adventures that can be regarded as wild and wild, but the treatment he receives in school is not much different from those.
Being unpopular, being isolated, and being coldly beaten are basically the norm.
Wu He often stood up for Xiaoyu for these troubles.
However, Xiaoyu shook her head quickly. Although she did like to do some pranks and did not listen to adults' discipline, Xiaoyu was indeed a good child, and she would not make up anything just because she was isolated. Slandering others with unfounded things is indeed not what she came here for...
Looking at Xiaoyu's slightly expectant eyes in front of him, Wu He also understood that he must have guessed wrong. His expression suddenly softened slightly and he nodded, which was a response to Xiaoyu's question.
Seeing Wu He nod, Xiaoyu's face suddenly regained its bright smile.
"By the way Wu Hyuk, I also have something to give you."
Xiaoyu was obviously a little confused when she said this. She stretched out her right hand and scratched her hair sheepishly, and then put her other hand into her pocket, as if she wanted to take something.
Seeing this, Wu He was also a little curious.
Having known each other for so many years, Wu He and Wu He have naturally participated in each other's birthdays. Although there are many birthday gifts, it should not be too yourself like this.
Then Wu He saw Xiaoyu taking out a necklace made of half a copper coin.
Looking at the half copper coin necklace in Xiaoyu's hand, which made Wu He feel full of déjà vu, Wu He spoke with some uncertainty.
"Is this a friendship necklace?"
Seeing that Wu He actually said the name of the necklace first, Xiaoyu's face suddenly showed a look of stretched out her hands to open the chain of the necklace, then stood up and hung it around Wu He's neck. While hanging it, she said:
"Yes, this is a friendship necklace. A copper coin is divided into two halves, half for you and half for me. Our friendship will never change."
Wu He: "..." Looking at the half copper coin shining brightly under the sunlight, Wu He suddenly fell silent.
The reason why Wu He was able to guess Xiaoyu's thoughts was not that he really had a connection with Xiaoyu.
Although Wu He and Xiaoyu have known each other for so many years and have figured out some of Xiaoyu's thoughts, it is not enough to say that they have a clear understanding of each other.
The reason why he was able to call out Xiaoyu's thoughts was mainly because the sense of déjà vu was so strong. Wu He didn't feel like he had seen it somewhere before, but that he had seen similar plots in anime.
It's just that the characters in the plot are Xiaoyu and the sky demon Ximu. The incident in the plot is that after Xiaoyu and Ximu established a certain friendship, Ximu wanted to leave temporarily. Xiaoyu gave the other party such a gift to symbolize friendship.
Of course, the one in Wu Hyuk's hand cannot be the jewelry Xiaoyu bought in Chinatown, but Xiaoyu is still Xiaoyu after all. She is still the same person. Her aesthetics have not changed and her ideas have not changed, so the meaning of the gift is the same.
Then considering the original plot and the current situation, Wu Hyuk corresponds to Xi Mu, Xiaoyu is still Xiaoyu, but Wu Hyuk will definitely not leave, so it is self-evident who will leave...
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Wu He's mind...
"Is the plot about to begin?"
Xiaoyu is right in front of you. There is no need to do this. You have to guess by yourself and ask whatever comes to mind.
So Wu He directly raised his head, looked at Xiaoyu who was standing in front of him, holding the other half of the copper coin pendant in his hand and said:
"Xiaoyu, are you here to say goodbye to me?"
Hearing Wu He's question, the bright smile on Xiaoyu's face suddenly froze it was very relaxed, and the smile came back to his face.
She stretched out her hand and hung the pendant in her hand around her neck, and then she scratched her face in embarrassment and said:
"Yes, you have guessed it again. Something happened to my parents. They may not have time to take care of me for a long time in the future."
"So they decided to send me to the United States and let me temporarily live with Uncle Long and Dad over there..."
"That's right, my father told you about archaeologist Uncle Long before. Didn't you say that you like antiques very much? If I go over, I should be able to see a lot of antiques. When I meet you, I can tell you what those antiques look like..."
Although now in front of Wu He, Xiaoyu is still dancing and describing everything that may happen when they meet again in the future after this departure.
All of this is very beautiful, but how could he not see the reluctance hidden under the excited appearance of Xiaoyu in front of him after so many years of getting along with her.
Seeing this, Wu He also pursed his lips slightly, and interrupted when Xiaoyu seemed to be tired and wanted to stop:
"Xiaoyu, do you know the address of your new residence in the United States?"
"My address?"
Hearing Wu He's question, Xiaoyu was stunned. After coming to the United States, Xiaoyu needed to find Uncle Long's residence by herself, so she naturally didn't know this. After she reported the address given by her parents, she thought about it. Asked again: "Wu Hyuk, what are you doing at an American address?"
"I can write to you later."
Wu He smiled slightly, then took out a stamp from under the coffee table and waved it in front of Xiaoyu. The Internet is not very developed these days, so there is no way to sit at home and watch a short video platform like in the previous life. Complete world.
Not to mention short videos, even email is still a tool for a few people in this era.
During this period, sending letters was still a very popular way of communication, whether at home or abroad. Of course, this method had great limitations and the interval was this is still a good idea.
Of course, Wu He has a mobile phone, and so does Xiaoyu, but these days, cross-border calls are too expensive.
Even in the 1 years of Wu Hyuk's previous life, a cross-border phone call cost one or two yuan a minute. Of course, it was even more unaffordable in 1990.
In comparison, it seems that only writing letters is the most reliable method...
"write a letter?"
Hearing Wu He's suggestion, Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, okay, I can also write to you then!"
"When the time comes, I can write to you about whatever new things happen there..."
"Even if you have time to travel to the United States in the future, you can go there to find me..."
Seeing Xiaoyu in front of him, who was still depressed and depressed, return to his original liveliness and chatter non-stop, Wu He also kept nodding in response.
However, this atmosphere did not last long, and soon Wu He's flip phone rang. Wu He actually had something to do today, and he was about to go out just now.
It was just delayed by Xiaoyu's matter, but as time passed, someone still came to urge me.
Still reluctant to leave, but seeing that Wu He seemed to have something to do, Xiaoyu didn't bother too much, and consciously wanted to leave by herself.
Of course, before leaving, Wu He walked into his room, then took out a moose camera and stuffed it into Xiaoyu's arms, and said to her:
"I have a pair of this camera, and I will give this to you. If you encounter anything in life, whether it is good or bad, you can take a picture and send it to me, and I will reply to you. Although we are far apart, but We will always be friends."
"Hook~"
"Hook~"
……
Looking at Xiaoyu's leaving figure, Wu He slowly retracted his waving arms above his head, turned around and walked in the other direction.
The place you want to go to is a local court. As for why you go there?Naturally, it is for fair property division...
No matter how sensible the children are, they cannot restore the broken relationship of their Wu Hyuk has tried to move between the two of them, Wu Hyuk, who has never been severely beaten by society in his past and present lives, does not understand the twists and turns of marriage.
Even if the plot is put aside, Wu Hyuk's life is not very happy...
"The plot is moving forward, but life is a mess. A time traveler who got into my position is really a failure..."
