In the interrogation room, the only sound was Li Shun crying. Mixed with his pitiful choking, he was still saying something, but Fatty Qian across from him couldn’t hear clearly. He asked several times but got no response.
The weird atmosphere in the monitoring room was broken by Zhang Yiming, his voice was dry and hoarse, “Schizophrenia?”
No one else said anything. Life is very stressful now, and the number of people with mental illnesses is increasing at a terrifying speed. It’s not that they have never seen mentally ill people, but they have never seen this kind of……
Uncertain how to describe it, they just feel overwhelmed.
The weird atmosphere showed signs of overlapping again. Some people couldn’t stand it and started talking quietly to their colleagues.
“Looking at him, he didn’t want to blame the crime on his wife to clear away the suspicion, but thought that the split version of himself was his wife.”
“The murder was described in such detail, obviously a participant. If it was to shift the blame, then the method is too bad. I agree with what you said, in his heart, everything he said is true. It was his wife who did it, and he is repenting for his wife.”
“The more he talks, the more his face twists. In short, he is sick.”
Zhang Yiming walked out of the monitoring room, pushed open the door of the interrogation room on the left and stepped in.
When Li Shun saw Zhang Yiming coming in, he immediately stood up, he felt like he had seen a life-saving straw. The sound of his chair falling to the ground was accompanied by his pleading, “Officer Zhang, I’ve confessed to him. Please intercede for my wife in front of the judge, she……”
Zhang Yiming felt nervous and interrupted, “Mr. Li, your wife was not at home on the morning when Liu DaNiang died. She was in the hospital.”
Li Shun raised his wet face blankly, “What?”
Zhang Yiming said, “The hospital’s surveillance showed that she was waiting for her number to be called at the hospital all morning and only returned in the afternoon.”
Li Shun’s eyes widened in shock and he said incoherently, “It’s impossible. She didn’t go anywhere. She was right at home. I saw what happened? No, no, no, I watched her press Liu DaNiang’s head into the bathtub, and the water got all over her body, I saw it!”
He cried and explained in embarrassment, “Officer Zhang, my wife is too scared. Please give her another chance. I will tell her that Officer Qian said that if she surrenders, her punishment will be reduced.”
Whether he was pretending or not was obvious at a glance. Zhang knew that the middle-aged man was not pretending. He pursed his dry lips and said, “Mr. Li, your wife is in the next room.”
“You called her here too? Then take me there quickly!”
Li Shun hurriedly walked around the table. Fatty Qian was about to restrain him, but Zhang Yiming stopped him. If he wants to attack, no one is opponent.
When Zhou Chunlian saw her husband, she was stunned. Just when she was about to speak, her hand was held by the other party. The force was extremely terrifying and she could not break away.
Li Shun squatted in front of Zhou Chunlian and said tremblingly, “Chunlian, they’ve found out everything, just confess, ok?”
Zhou Chunlian looked at her husband in astonishment. It took a while before she heard her own voice, which turned into an expression, “Li Shun, do you know what you are talking about?”
Li Shun’s face was full of anxiety, “Don’t be confused anymore. As long as you admit your crime, the judge will reduce the sentence. Chunlian, don’t worry, after you go in, I will take good care of the child and raise him. When you come out, our family of three will be together well.”
He burst into tears, “Beg you, Chunlian, I beg you, don’t live on like this. You have been living in pain these years. I know everything. Just say it, it will feel better once you let everything out……”
Zhou Chunlian’s eyes fell on the wrinkles at the corners of her husband’s eyes, and she could clearly see the fatigue, worry, and even more, panic on his face. Her fingers trembled incessantly and she closed her eyes uncomfortably.
Zhang Yiming said, “You know he is sick.”
Zhou Chunlian said nothing.
Zhang Yiming frowned and said sternly, “Why didn’t you take him to the doctor as soon as you found out? If he had received treatment earlier, he would not have ended up like he did today, and the tragedy would not have happened.”
Zhou Chunlian still didn’t speak.
Zhang Yiming’s anger was replaced by shock. This middle-aged woman was crying. She was crying very quietly, without making any sound. If more and more tears were not flowing down, it would be difficult for people to notice that she was crying.
Not aware? Living under the same roof and being a couple for almost 20 years, and don’t know anything about it at all?
Zhang Yiming raised his hand, and two people came in and took Li Shun away, who was out of control.
“Chunlian, there is still a chance, we still have a chance, please turn back, ok?…… Let me go, where are you taking me? Chunlian, save me! Chunlian——”
Li Shun’s voice became frightened, gradually blurred, and disappeared completely.
Zhou Chunlian’s eyes were still closed tightly. She sat motionless, as if all the blood in her body had been drained.
Zhang Yiming said, “Ms. Zhou, I will ask my people to take you back home.”
Zhou Chunlian stayed for a moment. She wiped her eyes, wiped away the tears on her face and raised her head and asked, “Officer Zhang, what will happen to my husband next?”
Zhang Yiming said in a deep voice, “After diagnosis, he will be sent to a mental hospital.”
“Mental hospital……”
Zhou Chunlian murmured as she pushed the stroller towards the door. As she walked, she suddenly burst into tears. Unlike before, she cried so loudly that it was so heartbreaking that the police officers outside were shocked.
Zhang Yiming lit up a cigarette, and while the truth was revealed, a family was destroyed.
But there is no other way. He and his colleagues will continue to go forward and bring every criminal to justice, so that they can be worthy of the small IDs on their chests and the police uniforms they wear.
That night, Zhang Yiming learned more detailed past events from Zhou Chunlian, so detailed that he could feel their hardships and sufferings.
When her one-year-old child was killed and a happy home collapsed, Zhou Chunlian, who was still very young, suffered for a long time. She tortured herself day and night, feeling that it was her negligence and that everything was her fault. She killed the child and she shouldn’t be alive.
Li Shun, who was also young, felt no better than Zhou Chunlian. Zhou Chunlian had a headache that day and said she wanted to sleep for a while, so she asked him to take care of the child, but something happened to the child.
It is essential to be on guard against others, even your friends and neighbors. This is the truth that Li Shun understood through that incident. Gradually, that truth became heavier, distorted, and deformed in his cognition.
In the first few days after the incident with the child, Zhou Chunlian initially blamed Li Shun, beat and scolded, but later only blamed herself.
At that time, the pain of losing her child drove Zhou Chunlian crazy. She attempted suicide several times, and Li Shun watched with fear. He simply gave up his job in the factory and lived with her in the countryside, without any contact with the outside world, and even sever contact with his parents and relatives.
The countryside is secluded and peaceful, with no one disturbing or gossiping. Li Shun and Zhou Chunlian, the couple, shed tears all day long and lived in unspeakable self-blame.
After struggling for several years, Li Shun and Zhou Chunlian came out of the countryside, returned to the big city, and slowly caught up with the busy pace of life. They no longer mentioned the children, and restrained themselves from exposing the gap.
It will get better, they both thought.
After finding out about her pregnancy last year, Zhou Chunlian became very cautious, and Li Shun also became nervous. Everything she passed, including food and clothing, were checked again and again for fear of any accident.
After one month of pregnancy Zhou Chunlian’s morning sickness became severe. As soon as it became safer to ride in a car, she left with Li Shun for a while and came back after giving birth.
Why leave? Because Li Shun told Zhou Chunlian that he was strolling through the Baby Tree mom’s support community and found that the beds in big hospitals were very limited. When someone was about to give birth and there was no bed available, they could only endure it in the corridors. Private hospitals have more beds, but their medical facilities are average.
Li Shun originally wanted Zhou Chunlian to give birth in a nearby hospital, which would be more convenient if there was an emergency. Who knew that he found out that the obstetrics department of that hospital had a medical accident more than once.
Most of the time, people’s fears and insecurities are caused by random thoughts.
People in the community still went to that hospital to wait for delivery, but Li Shun couldn’t do it. He posted a lot of posts on those forums, asking which hospital in the country was the best. He would read every reply in the post.
Li Shun chose a hospital which provides a double bed to mothers. He took Zhou Chunlian there. Others may think they were too nervous and exaggerated, and it was unnecessary.
The bystanders and the parties involved are never on the same page.
Mother and son were safe, Zhou Chunlian and Li Shun returned home, and they became a family of three again, more than ten years later.
The road of life is full of unknowns. It’s not that you can meet whatever you want to see. No one knows what is waiting for you ahead.
When Zhang Yiming heard this, the cigarette in his hand burned to the end. He put out the cigarette and exhaled a long breath. A diagnosis report came from the hospital.
Li Shun suffers from schizophrenia and delusional disorder.
Over the years, Zhou Chunlian has been accustomed to venting her troubles and worries to Li Shun, but Li Shun has endured all her negative emotions and can only store them all in his heart for fear of irritating her.
Over time, Li Shun became abnormal. Another personality he split was his wife, but he didn’t know it himself.
Zhang Yiming thought to himself, as long as Li Shun doesn’t return home, and can’t hear Zhou Chunlian emotional nagging and the child’s crying, and painful memories are not evoked, he is just a normal person and another personality will not emerge, and no one would notice anything unusual about him. At most, they would think that his life is stressful and his spirit is not good.
As for Zhou Chunlian’s postpartum depression, there are three factors. First, she lost her child previously, which left psychological trauma. Second, she underwent two surgeries and suffered a lot physically and needed time to slowly recover. Third, she and her child were the only ones at home during the day, not only she was tired, but also depressed, and had no one to talk to.
When Li Shun comes home from work, Zhou Chunlian will tell him every detail of how she got along with the neighbors during the day, otherwise problems will arise if she keeps holding it back.
After a busy day at the company, Li Shun was very tired. When he returned home and listened to Zhou Chunlian talking about the trivial things going on in the neighborhood, he felt jittery but had no complaints whatsoever, and got used to bearing it. Not a practice, but also couldn’t vent it out.
This is the root cause of all tragedies.
Everyone has pressure. Some people are overwhelmed by the pressure and go to extremes. Some people face it with positivity and optimism. The difference lies in the way of decompressing. Once you don’t decompress, you will just continue to carry it, collapse and explode. It’s a matter of time.
When Zhang Yiming came to his senses, Zhou Chunlian was no longer on the sofa in front of him, and the baby’s cry and her soft coaxing could be heard from the bedroom.
The child is less than four months old, so how can he know about the changes in the family?
The next morning, Zhang Yiming received a call from Zhou Chunlian, drove to her building and took her and her child to a mental hospital.
The nurse was feeding Li Shun medicine. She comforted him by experience, “If you take the medicine obediently and have a good sleep, you will have noodles and an egg.”
Li Shun was picking his fingers and looked angry, “We are all neighbors. They have gone too far. Everyone wants to harm my child, why? Ah! Damn it, they all deserve to die!”
As he spoke, he laughed, “Kill them, and my child will be fine. No one can take my child away from me……”
At this time, Li Shun was his wife Zhou Chunlian.
The nurse took a breath and left quickly, not forgetting to lock the door.
Across a small window, Zhang Yiming felt that fuzzy feeling again. He said to the middle-aged woman next to him, “The medicine here will make the patient’s memory fade and he will live in confusion. In a few days, your husband may not recognize you anymore.”
Zhou Chunlian didn’t respond. She looked inside through the small window, patted the baby in her arms, and suppressed her crying and said, “Baobao, dad can’t live with us anymore. He will always live here, only him.”
The oppression here is unbearable even for adults, let alone a child. The thin cry is like a needle, cutting through the surrounding airflow.
Zhang Yiming heard Li Shun’s shouts coming from inside, and the iron door was being slapped. The sound was huge, embodying the helplessness and despair of the person involved.
It’s okay to forget, Zhang Yiming thought.
Downstairs in the community, Huang Dan and Lu Fei found a shady place and sat down on the bench beside them.
Lu Fei leaned back in his seat and clicked the lighter, “Mrs. Lu, the case has been solved. It is time to go back with me, isn’t it? Your mother-in-law is still waiting to give you a meeting gift.”
“……”
Huang Dan couldn’t say that this case had nothing to do with his mission goal. Unexpectedly as well as expectedly, his current situation was exactly so-called burning with anxiety.
The clicking sound stopped, Lu Fei raised his eyelids, and there was a suppressing storm inside, “What else do you want?”
Huang Dan knew that he couldn’t confront the man head-on at this moment and had to be soft-spoken. He said, “I want to eat popsicles. Go and buy one for me. It’s the kind of old popsicles that cost one yuan each. They are sold at the entrance of the community. It’s in the shop.”
Lu Fei frowned, “What’s so good about that stuff? Who knows how dirty the production process is.”
He was very fast, took out his phone and clicked on it, and found a post, “This post was sent by a student working in a factory. Let me read it to you.”
“The first thing revealed is the ice popsicles, which are colorful, with various fruit flavors such as lychee, strawberry, pineapple, etc. They are very simple to produce, just water, flavor, and pigments. These things will be thrown in Inside a large bucket, stirred with a stick……”
Huang Dan knew that what followed would not be pleasant to listen to, “Stop reading it.”
Lu Fei said it was just the beginning, and he continued slowly, “It is common for popsicles taken out of the mold to roll on the ground, and it is not uncommon for them to be stepped on by shoes. They will pick it up from the ground and never throw it away. You will be charged for being caught throwing it. And they don’t wear gloves when packaging, they just grab it with their hands. As you know, there are many workers in a growth line and there is a lot of work. They all go to the toilet when they can’t hold it in, and don’t wash their hands when they come out.”
“The person who posted the post worked in a factory, and he summed it up by saying that this thing is worse than poop.”
Huang Dan held his forehead and said, “If you keep reading, I will get angry.”
Lu Fei said, “There are several extended versions afterward.”
Huang Dan felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He patted the man’s arm, not hard, but with a little warning, “Don’t read it anymore.”
Lu Fei went too far and read another version, which was about chocolate crispy ice cream. Flies like sweet things, and even if it falls in and is smashed, no one would be able to tell.
“Fortunately, you don’t eat chocolate ice cream, so you don’t have to worry about eating messy chocolate. If you really want to eat ice cream, the big brand might be cleaner, but that’s just maybe.”
Huang Dan rubbed his forehead, “This is not the only one that is dirty. Most of the food and beverages are unhygienic.”
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, “So?”
Huang Dan pursed his lips and said unhappily, “That’s why I don’t eat.”
Lu Fei said, “What about Lao Beijing?”
Huang Dan twitched his mouth and said still won’t eat, “Go buy water, ok? Cestbon or Nongfu Spring.”
Lu Fei went to buy two bottles of Cestbon and came back. He handed one over and said, “Take it.”
Huang Dan unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips, “What time is it?”
Lu Fei said, “It’s almost ten o’clock.”
Huang Dan said, “They will be about to return then, right?”
Lu Fei was furious. He had a mountain of overseas work, and his secretary was already crying over the call.
He feels uneasy about this person. It is impossible for him to go back by himself first, and he must take the other party with him. However, the other person is good, still holding on to this case and that case, not sure where the attraction came from.
“Can you go back with me this month?”
Huang Dan said, “Yes.”
When Lu Fei heard this, the fire in his heart did not continue to spread. He was stunned. When had he ever cared about someone so desperately?
No, also unable to imagine.
It’s strange to say, but before Lu Fei fell in love with this person, he had been chasing fame and fortune, working hard day and night. Sometimes even he himself couldn’t understand why he was so desperate.
It felt like being looked down upon by someone above him, and ignored. Time and time again, he made efforts to become strong, and wanted to compete to make himself more worthy. So one day, he could stand in front of that person with his back straight, side by side, or even surpass him.
But there has never been a similar experience in the life of Lu Fei.
Now that he has fallen in love with the person next to him, the fame and wealth he was once obsessed with suddenly became boring.
The atmosphere under the tree was peaceful, and the mottled light and shadow filled the young man’s face. It was beautiful and extremely warm. Lu Fei looked at it, fascinated.
He suddenly felt that it was normal for him to fall in love with this person.
Huang Dan touched the back of the man’s hand and said, “You are staying with me here. Is the company okay?”
Lu Fei turned over the hand and kneaded it. He sighed exaggeratedly, “The boss is acting as an arm-flinging shopkeeper, so the whole company is in chaos. Secretaries and senior executives took turns first to cry, second to make trouble, and third to hang themselves.”
Huang Dan said, “When you go back, work overtime, the problem won’t be big.”
Lu Fei chuckled, “I thought you would tell me something like, ‘Or you can go back first.'”
Huang Dan said, “If I said that, you would hit me.”
Lu Fei glanced at him and said, “Not only that, I will also bite you to death, this heartless thing.”
Huang Dan threw the bottle of water on the bench and said seriously, “Lu Fei, I promise you, I will always be with you in the future.”
He knew the man’s uneasiness. If their position switched, and it wasn’t him who felt no pain, but it was the man, he would be the same, endlessly uneasy.
The more you care, the more you fear.
Lu Fei’s body was shaken, his eyes were half closed, and no one could see clearly what was inside. Only his hoarse voice betrayed his abnormal mood swings.
“Nonsense, of course you have to stay with me, always, eternally. If you dare to disappear for fun, even if I search all over the world until my hair turns white, I still want to find you, capture you, and then break your legs.”
Huang Dan blurted out, “I won’t feel any pain.”
Lu Fei stared at him and growled, “Then I’ll break my own legs!”
He scolded again, his face and eyes full of concealed pain, “Damn it, I can see that you won’t feel comfortable for a day until you make my heart ache.”
Huang Dan patted the man’s head.
Lu Fei had never been patted like a puppy before. He felt a little awkward and said disgustedly, “I saw you picking your nose just now. Did you clean your hands?”
Huang Dan said, “I didn’t pick it, I just scratched it twice.”
Lu Fei frowned and ordered, “Put your hand over here, I want to check.”
Huang Dan stretched out his hand but it was kissed. He looked around and said, “Someone will see it.”
“See it, then see it. We haven’t broken any laws.”
Lu Fei smiled half-heartedly, “Mrs. Lu, I thought you asked me to come over here with you so early in the morning because you wanted to inform the folks in the entire neighborhood that we are getting close.”
Huang Dan looked at the man speechlessly. He came to see Zhou Chunlian, and the other party knew it.
Not long after, Lu Fei saw Zhang Yiming’s car.
Huang Dan also saw it. He stood up and raised his hands to them.
Zhang Yiming, who was in the car, noticed Huang Dan and Lu Fei, and Zhou Chunlian in the back seat was no exception.
Zhang Yiming parked the car on the side of the road. Zhou Chunlian got out of the car and walked to Huang Dan with the baby in her arms. She bent down and said, “Xiao Ji, please forgive my husband.”
Huang Dan said internally, I don’t care, it’s just that the owner of this body has already been reincarnated, so there is no point in not forgiving.
After a pause, Huang Dan said, “It’s all over.”
Zhou Chunlian wiped the tears from her eyes and said, “Thank you.”
Huang Dan nodded to Zhang Yiming, which was considered a greeting. He withdrew his gaze and focused it on Zhou Chunlian again.
“Saw him?”
Zhou Chunlian hummed, “Officer Zhang said he would forget us.”
She adjusted her position to block the sun for the child, “It’s okay to forget, we will only bring him pain.”
As she spoke, there was the more sobbing tone in Zhou Chunlian’s voice, “I didn’t know he was under so much pressure. He never said anything.”
Huang Dan glanced at the baby with big eyes, and asked the middle-aged woman, “What are you going to do?”
Zhou Chunlian said she would sell her house and move to a city with a slower pace of life. “I can’t live here anymore. I don’t care about the neighbors’ gesticulation, but it won’t be good for my child. I don’t want him to grow up in others’ strange gaze.”
Huang Dan understood clearly.
Zhou Chunlian lowered her head and gently grabbed the child’s chubby hand. A tear fell down and landed on the child’s black hair.
Huang Dan pursed his lips. He had checked the information carefully before and knew that postpartum depression is most severe within six weeks and will gradually lessen later.
However, Zhou Chunlian is alone with the child, and the situation is really hard to say.
“Hire a nanny to help take care of the child, and you can free up some time for yourself.”
Zhou Chunlian said, “I have already spoken to my parents on the phone. They will come and help me. When the child is older, I will find a job.”
Huang Dan said, “That way you will feel much more relaxed.”
“The days are still long. After today is tomorrow, after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, you have to live it no matter what.”
Zhou Chunlian sighed softly, with strong regret, “If I could say a few less words every day, maybe Li Shun wouldn’t have driven himself crazy.”
She smiled self-deprecatingly, her eyes were very red and swollen, “It’s useless to talk about this. Xiao Ji, we probably won’t have the chance to meet again in the future, so take care of yourself.”
Huang Dan said, “Take care.”
Zhou Chunlian turned back to the car, put the child in the stroller, and pushed it toward the corridor.
Huang Dan thought of something and ran to catch up, “I heard from Officer Zhang that something happened to your child back then. Why didn’t you report to the police?”
Zhang Yiming couldn’t find it, indicating that there is no record of reporting the crime.
Zhou Chunlian said calmly, “That person was hit by a car and died that day.”
Huang Dan was stunned.
Zhou Chunlian said, “It was an accident and has nothing to do with us.”
“We both were too immersed in grief that day and didn’t bother to look for him. Since the other person was dead, everything he had done would be burned, so we didn’t go to the police.”
Huang Dan said, “Retribution.”
Zhou Chunlian murmured, “Retribution? That’s it, would be retribution.”
Huang Dan asked again, “You asked me to find a job at that time and asked me to leave here. It’s you reminding me, right?”
Zhou Chunlian admitted, “Yes.”
Huang Dan asked, “Then you know that your husband wants to harm me, or……”
Zhou Chunlian said, “No, I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s something else.”
Huang Dan asked, “What is it?”
Zhou Chunlian walked into the corridor, and the coolness hit her face. Her voice was very soft, “Xiao Ji, you are a little too involved. Some people don’t want to be targeted by you, so naturally they can’t tolerate you.”
Huang Dan’s voice also softened, “Who is that person?”
The answer Zhou Chunlian gave surprised Huang Dan. She said it was Sun Siqing.
Huang Dan said, “The police are looking for him, but there has been no news.”
Zhou Chunlian said, “He will show up.”
She only said this before carrying the stroller upstairs one step at a time. Her back was thin but strong.
Huang Dan left after losing sight of Zhou Chunlian. He said in his heart, “San Ge, if you hadn’t provided me with that key clue this time, the information dots wouldn’t have been connected, and the case wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”
System said, “You are luckier than San Ge. Back then, San Ge
encountered difficulties and could only pray.”
Huang Dan was very surprised, “It turns out that San Ge, you were promoted from the system to the main system. The assessment for promotion was to complete tasks, and the system that led you didn’t help you.”
Probably because he didn’t expect the host to have such a high IQ, and guessed it right as soon as he mentioned it, so System went silent.
Huang Dan said, “It must be very difficult to pass the exam. San Ge is really awesome.”
System, “Three points of diligence, three points of hard work, plus three points of talent, and then will succeed.”
Huang Dan said, “Three plus three plus three is nine.”
System, “Deserves to be the number one scholar in science.”
Huang Dan,“……”
System said, “Xiao Di, you have golden thighs to hug. It will be unjust if you don’t complete the task.”
Huang Dan asked, “Golden Thigh? Where is it?”
System went silent again.
Huang Dan thought for a while and figured it out, “Golden Thigh is San Ge, thank you.”
System finally felt a little relieved, “Mmm, good boy.”
🎶”The flowers are bright in the spring, I and Meimei held hands and went to the top of the mountain again, walked around and saw the mountains all……” 🎶
Huang Dan heard the ringtone of the cell phone, and there was a vibration at the base of his thigh. Only then did he realize that his cell phone was ringing.
The ringtone was set by Lu Fei for him, saying it was very cheerful and had both the song’s title and lyrics.
The call was made by Lu Fei, asking Huang Dan how long he wanted to dawdle and whether he wanted to have lunch at Zhou Chunlian’s place.
Huang Dan walked out of the corridor, went down the steps and was now under the sun, “I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”
Lu Fei on the bench cut off the call and put the phone back into his pocket, “And you? What next?”
Zhang Yiming, who was sitting next to him, patted the non-existent dust on his body and said, “I’m hungry too, let’s go together.”
Lu Fei’s face suddenly turned terrible, “Three people in row, there must be one idiot.”
“……”
Zhang Yiming pulled his hair and said, “To tell you the truth, I still asked my colleague to borrow the money for gas. I will be very poor in the future, and can only freeload or knowtow for a meal.”
Lu Fei glanced at him gloatingly, “Your dad froze the cash on your card?”
Zhang Yiming coughed twice and imitated his father’s tone, “Want to be free, then it’s good to want to swipe your, LaoZi card. What a wonderful thought!”
Lu Fei couldn’t help but laugh, “You are a captain, and still afraid of starving to death?”
Zhang Yiming said without blinking, “I’m afraid, Ah!”
Lu Fei’s face twitched.
Zhang Yiming wailed about his poverty, and received a card from the old friend right away. He burst into tears of gratitude, “So generous. When one day you and Xiao Ji will hold a wedding, then I will be your witness.”
Lu Fei said, “In the second half of this year.”
Zhang Yiming was shocked, “Isn’t this too fast? You guys only met in July.”
Lu Fei said surprisingly, “I’m still too slow.”
Zhang Yiming couldn’t figure it out, and he asked suspiciously, “Are you still afraid that Xiao Ji will regret it?”
Lu Fei didn’t answer. He looked at the young man coming towards him, his eyes were like a cage, locking him tightly.
Zhang Yiming couldn’t believe it, “You are thirty, neither young nor old, in your prime, rich and powerful, only a little bit worse than me in height, not so much right?”
Lu Fei glanced at him up and down, “If I’m a little bit shorter than you, then he will take a detour when he sees me.”
Zhang Yiming,“……”
Not long after, the three of them were sitting in the restaurant, casually ordering a few signature dishes and a pot of Longjing.
Huang Dan ate the pig liver picked by Lu Fei, “Zhang Ge, have you seen Xiaojie?”
Zhang Yiming said, several times, “The child is introverted and can’t even produce a word after asking for a long time. He looks like his mother Chen Li.”
Huang Dan swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, “How far is the bookstore from the community?”
Zhang Yiming said it was not far away, “There is a direct bus, only two stops away. Riding an electric bike will be faster.”
Huang Dan no longer speaks.
Lu Fei brought him some food, “I’ve never seen anyone eat more slowly than you.”
Huang Dan said, “I’m used to it.”
Lu Fei held his forehead with one hand, “Watching you eat, I feel like you are……”
Zhang Yiming took over, “Young Master.”
Huang Dan ignored them.
Lu Fei and Zhang Yiming didn’t think anything was wrong. It seemed that the young man should be an aloof person.
After eating the two plates in front of him, Zhang put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, “I’m going to the bookstore later.”
He was speaking to the young man.
Huang Dan didn’t respond.
Zhang cleared his throat and said, “I’m going to the bookstore to see Xiaojie.”
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and said, “Close the door on your way out.”
Zhang Yiming pretended not to hear and turned to look at the young man. He believed in talent. He believed it before, but now he believes it even more.
After Huang Dan finished the last bite of food in the bowl, he wiped his mouth with a tissue, “I just happened to be going to buy a book.”
Lu Fei said expressionlessly, “Really?”
Huang Dan knew that the man was angry. If Zhang Yiming was not present, he would have been spanked.
He couldn’t talk about the mission to others. In the eyes of others, his attention to the case had already passed that level, and it was understandable that Lu Fei would object.
It’s very unsafe after all.
Huang Dan rubbed his feet against the man under the table.
Zhang Yiming didn’t know what was going on under the table, but he found that the aura on his old friend’s body changed from cold to autumn, skipping summer and going straight to spring. It was so warm and genial that it was incredible.
Lu Fei turned his head and asked his Mrs. Lu, “What book do you want to buy?”
Huang Dan said casually, “It’s about harmony between human and nature.”
Zhang Yiming interjected, “Good book.”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lu Fei sneered, “See or not, this is a retard in human form, and you want to hang out with him, aren’t you afraid that you will become retarded too?”
Huang Dan said, “Retardation is not contagious.”
Zhang Yiming’s facial muscles twitched, “Hey, you guys……”
Lu Fei folded his long legs together and tapped a few times with his fingers, “I advise you to think again.”
Huang Dan said, “It’s just a temporary contact.”
Zhang Yiming had the retarded stupid son floating above his head, “No, I said if you two could……”
No one paid attention.
Zhang Yiming, the great sage coughed and almost coughed up his lungs. “Can you let me say something?”
Huang Dan and Lu Fei said in unison, “You say it.”
Zhang Yiming opened his mouth and cursed after a long time, “Fuck, I forgot.”
“……”
After the meal, Huang Dan and Lu Fei went back to the hotel to take a nap and conveniently had a mouth war.
