After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

A week later, the case went to trial as scheduled.

The front of the court has been crowded with people since early in the morning. Apart from the media who came to seek first-hand news, there are more ordinary people who come to collect numbers and draw lots.Whether it is Li Luo's fans or the melon-eaters who join in the fun, they all want to witness the trial process of this high-profile case with their own eyes.There are only 20 auditoriums, so only public draws can be made.

While queuing up to claim the number, fans and passers-by were still gossiping about what Li Luo posted on Weibo last week:

"Tell me, who does the 'you' in that article refer to? Su Zhi? Duan Mingyang? Or someone else?"

"I think it's Su Zhi. Didn't the two of them just get photographed hugging each other that day? This is equivalent to an official announcement by Li Luo."

"Isn't that right, the official announcement is still going crazy? Why do I feel like I'm afraid that some people will be jealous so I dropped the trending search. After the drop, I immediately show my loyalty."

"The sister's analysis makes sense. Brother Luo also posted that he wanted to see 'Sunshine' before, but this time it's 'Sunshine' again. I think it's a metaphor for his big boss."

"Why are you all trying to push Brother Luo out? What if Brother Luo is just confessing to our fans?"

"We also hope, but according to Luoge's restless temper, do you think it might be so simple..."

……

Li Luo arrived at the court in the afternoon, entered the court directly under the guidance of the bodyguards, sat down at the table, and did not hear the discussions outside.

Duan Mingyang was not with him, he arrived before him, and sat in the auditorium opposite him.

As soon as the other lucky people who got the number entered the door, they saw that one of them was cold and silent, and the other had sharp eyes. This pair of courts was in a posture of confrontation, not to mention slamming CP, and they were afraid that the two of them would be on the scene if they disagreed. Make an appointment.

Li Luo rolled his eyes so hard that his eyes were sore, but the person in front of him still didn't respond, like a stone statue, and his efforts were not in vain. He blinked and waited quietly for the trial to start.

There is always a little tension, but not too much.Besides, if even his father and the top legal team can't handle it, then he can't do anything.

Absolute silence must be kept in the courtroom. When his father and Duan's father and son appeared, everyone in the courtroom consciously kept silent and obeyed the rules.

Immediately afterwards, the trial began.

Under the quiet and depressing atmosphere, there are various emotions surging like an undercurrent.

Voices from the plaintiff's seat, the defendant's seat and the judge's seat came to Li Luo's ears alternately, the lawyer's, the judge's, Duan Tianyou's, his father's... Testimonies and rebuttals seemed to be intertwined into two nets, suddenly loud and suddenly Small, dense and careless.

However, with the passage of time, the net in the dock began to shrink slowly, and the net in the plaintiff's dock became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more airtight, gradually covering the sky above the dock, slowly pressing down, making the face more and more serious. The increasingly ugly Duan Tianyou and others enveloped and devoured them.

The supporters in the audience were faintly excited, but Li Luo was not as excited as he had imagined.

It may be that they feel that they have the chance to win, or it may be like the development of a movie, the most exciting and thrilling plot has passed, and now only the dust has settled after the hustle and bustle.

He looked around the field, his father was in the plaintiff's box sonorously rehabilitating himself, and victory was close at hand.And although his lover is in the dock, his eyes are always cast from afar, conveying confidence and strength to him.

Coupled with the supporters who came for him in the audience, he was surrounded by the love of so many people, and he felt peaceful and at ease.

The things that he thought he had lost when he was young came back to him hundreds of times, tens of thousands of times, so much that he could hardly hold it down.

He had never realized so clearly and deeply that he was actually fearless of the result.

Three hours later, the court pronounced the sentence in court.

Duan Tianyou was sentenced to 20 years in prison for participating in illegal sex transactions, misappropriating huge amounts of public funds, and making false accusations and framing, and the nature was bad and the circumstances were serious.Duan Xingye was sentenced to seven years in prison for organizing participation in illegal sex-trading and indirectly participating in embezzlement of public funds.

The unexpected result made all the supporters at the scene cheer for it.

As soon as the judge left the table, the fans sitting next to Li Luo couldn't help but excitedly said: "Brother Luo! Congratulations!"

Li Luo smiled: "Thank you for your support and trust."

Then he hugged the fan, and then hugged one after another who came to congratulate him.

Finally hugged his father who returned in triumph.

"I'll just say I can settle it." Li Zhenghong said cheerfully.

"Well, Dad, you're awesome."

Li Luo rested his chin on his father's shoulder, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Duan Mingyang who was seated opposite him.

Compared with the lively scene surrounded by fans and family members on his side, Duan Mingyang's observer seat was already empty. He stood there alone, watching his father and brother being escorted out in front of his eyes, with one look Didn't bother to throw it to him.

He lowered his eyes and stood silently, like a proud lonely person who was abandoned but unwilling to go home, and the sorrows and joys around him had nothing to do with him.

Li Luo really wanted to go over and hug him at this moment.

How much Duan Mingyang hated his father and brother meant how much he longed for the love of his father and brother.But Duan Tianyou and Duan Xingye ruined his desire.

Now, although the revenge has been avenged, the emptiness and loneliness in my heart may still need to be filled with the love of my family.

"Let's have a celebration banquet in a while." The fans and passers-by around were all gone, Li Zhenghong said with a smile, "Bring a small piece, let's have a good drink together."

Li Luo thought for a while: "Dad, you go with Uncle Feng, I still have something to do, I want to go out of the city with Ming Yang, and drink with you some other day."

"Ah? Where are you going?"

"Secret."

Li Luo smiled slyly, then walked to the opposite seat.

Li Zhenghong sighed: "Hey, my son is too big to stay."

Feng Zhian comforted: "It's okay, I'll accompany you, let the children go."

"That's fine, so I don't have to drink halfway. The kid persuades me to stop, let's go, Zhian, and have a drink with me!"

Li Luo had already walked in front of Duan Mingyang, but Duan Mingyang was still in a daze, so he had to ask first: "Hey, are you free tonight?"

Duan Mingyang regained his senses and looked at him: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Let's go visit your mother together."

"Today?" Duan Mingyang was slightly surprised.

"Well, choosing a day is worse than bumping into it, let's just say today. Can't you?"

"Yes yes yes..."

"Then let's go." Li Luodang he agreed, turned around and walked out the door, turning his head and reminding, "I'll go and lure the reporters away first, you come out later, see you in the garage."

"……Um."

It took a little longer to deal with the reporters who got to the bottom of the matter. When Li Luo arrived at the garage, Duan Mingyang had already started the engine and was waiting for him at the door of the garage.

As soon as he got into the car, he kicked the accelerator and drove out, left the court before the reporters found out, and drove all the way to the outside of the city.

"It'll be here in a while, I'll go get a haircut and buy suitable clothes." Li Luo looked at the mirror above the co-pilot and fiddled with his hair, "Although it's not the first time I've seen your mother, I still have to be careful Son."

Duan Mingyang glanced at him: "It's not necessary, it's already very good."

"Really? Are you sure your mother likes me?"

"No one will dislike you."

Li Luo made things difficult on purpose: "Whoever said that, your brother doesn't like me."

"He is not human." Duan Mingyang did not hesitate.

Li Luo was completely overjoyed, if Duan Mingyang was not still driving, he really wanted to pounce on him and kiss him hard.

This man is really a treasure hole that can never be dug.

After driving along the expressway for nearly an hour, their car entered the next city, and they walked through the streets and alleys for more than half an hour. They even bought some gifts on the way, and finally arrived at Lin Cheng's house.

Li Luo looked at the ordinary residential building in front of him, and asked, "Does your mother live here?"

Duan Mingyang closed the trunk, locked the car, and walked over with a gift: "Well, I bought a villa in the suburbs and wanted them to move there, but they didn't want to leave, saying that the neighbors here are more familiar, and it's far away from the hospital. It’s also near, in case my mother still feels uncomfortable after the operation, it’s convenient to see a doctor, so I’ll let it go.”

"That's true." Li Luo snatched the gift from him, "How could you hold it, and your mother thought I was so delicate when she saw it. I came to see the parents, not you."

Duan Mingyang had no choice but to press the elevator door for him, and after going upstairs, he rang the doorbell for him.

It happened to be Duan's mother who came to open the door. After meeting him, she was stunned for a long time, and then slapped her thigh suddenly: "You are! Li... Li Luo? You are Ming Yang's classmate, right? Later you became a star, and there was always a star on TV. See you!"

"Yes, it's hard for you to remember." Li Luo just wanted to open his mouth to call his mother, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did Duan's mother call him "classmate"?Didn't Duan Mingyang mention their relationship?

He immediately glared at Duan Mingyang.

"...Mom, he's not just my classmate." Under the persecution of his eyes, Duan Mingyang corrected, "I told you before, I'm with him."

Duan's mother recovered from the surprise a little bit: "I know, but didn't you break up later? It's been several years, and everyone is a big star. I thought you must have no hope. So today is ...?"

Li Luo presented the gift with a smile, and finally dared to call out with confidence: "Come to visit you, Mom, this is a little gift for you."

Duan's mother also breathed a sigh of relief: "I was afraid that I guessed wrong just now, so I didn't dare to admit it. You're welcome, don't bring gifts when you come here, just like your own home."

Duan Mingyang: "Mom, can we go in and talk again?"

"Oh yes, I'm so excited, come in, it happens that your aunt and uncle's family are here."

Mother Duan moved out of the way, and Li Luo walked in unceremoniously.

After changing the slippers, Mama Duan led them inside.The house looks ordinary from the outside, but the inside is bright, clean, elegant and comfortable. It seems that it has been renovated in recent years.Moreover, two sets of flat floors are connected, about 200 square meters, and a family lives in one set. They take care of each other when they have something to do, and do not disturb each other when they have nothing to do. It is no worse than living in a villa.

Lin Cheng's parents were making dinner in the kitchen. When they heard Duan's mother shout, they ran out without taking off their apron. When they saw Li Luo, their eyes lit up:

"We Chengcheng really like you!" Mama Lin said happily, "There are many posters of you posted in his room, I'll show you to see them!"

Just as Li Luo was about to agree, Duan Mingyang suddenly coughed twice.

He immediately understood: "No need, Auntie, Lin Cheng is now in the same company as me, and we can often see each other. He has already said that I am his idol, so I feel embarrassed."

Mother Lin smiled: "This child, I just can't hide what's on my mind. I called you a few days ago and mentioned you, saying that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't even think about it. We haven't seen him for a long time either."

Duan Mingyang changed the subject at the right time: "He is preparing to release a new song recently, and I will arrange a vacation for him in the future so that he can come back and visit you more."

Mother Lin: "Thank you Mingyang for taking care of him so hard. If you weren't in charge, we wouldn't worry about him going out alone."

Duan Mingyang nodded: "It should."

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Mama Duan had already brought all the prepared dishes to the table, and Li Luo sat around the table with their big family under the kind invitation, chatting while eating.

After Lin Cheng's parents got excited, they also had some doubts about why Duan Mingyang would bring him home, but after observing Duan's mother's attitude towards Li Luo for a while, they understood a little bit, and tacitly did not mention this matter again. , chatting about homework like ordinary elders, and of course more about inquiring about various insider gossips in the entertainment industry.

The dinner table has become Li Luo's home court. He has a wide network of contacts in the circle, and he can speak well. He will talk about whether a certain female celebrity and a certain male celebrity are a couple, and then talk about a certain celebrity who is glamorous on the surface and picks up in private No, let Duan's mother and Lin Cheng's parents listen attentively and enjoy it.

Duan Mingyang saw that he was having a good time chatting, and he couldn't take care of the meal, so he sighed helplessly, and silently put the food into his bowl, occasionally knocking on the bowl to remind him to eat while it's hot.

An ordinary home-cooked meal gave off the lively feeling of the Chinese New Year. There were laughter and laughter from the restaurant from time to time, and the bright lights illuminated the comfort and satisfaction in everyone's eyes.

After dinner, it was already dark, and several elders said they would clean up a guest room for them to live in.Duan Mingyang declined on the grounds that he would not bother them, he booked a room in a nearby hotel, took Li Luo to say goodbye to his family, and planned to come back as a guest tomorrow morning.

The two of them went downstairs, Duan Mingyang was about to unlock the car, Li Luo thought on the spur of the moment, "Mingyang, let's walk over there, anyway, it's not far away."

Duan Mingyang didn't raise any objection, he took the usual masks and hats from the car and passed them to him.

Li Luo covered his face, hid his long hair in his hat, put it in his pocket, and set off smartly.

Duan Mingyang also wore a mask and walked side by side with him.

"I almost forgot, Mr. Duan is also a big star now." Li Luo teased him, "And he is younger than me, just debuted, and has great potential for development. If I get old in the future, remember to support me."

Duan Mingyang said in a low voice: "Speak less, haven't you talked enough all night, beware of being recognized."

Li Luo looked around. There were few passers-by on the street, and there were not many vehicles. None of the passers-by recognized the two of them, so they continued to be arrogant.

"I haven't said enough. I feel that I can still behave and make your mother like me more."

"She already likes you very much." Duan Mingyang said, "In her eyes, I'm the one who's overrated, so how could she be dissatisfied with you?"

"Haha, what a coincidence, my dad thinks so too." After laughing, Li Luo said seriously, "But I don't think so, and you shouldn't think so either. We are equal, there is no distinction between high and low."

Duan Mingyang glanced at him: "I save effort if you're up there, and it's convenient for you to be down there, whatever you want."

Li Luo reacted for three seconds, then thumped angrily: "I'm telling you the truth!"

The sound was so loud that passers-by around looked over.

Li Luo immediately lowered his voice and the brim of his hat, and muttered: "I usually look quite serious and abstinent, but it's easy to say this kind of thing..."

Duan Mingyang: "Yes, I'm not like you, Mr. Li, I'm the same wave inside and outside."

Li Luo twisted his arm lightly, just to vent his anger.

"President Duan is in a good mood tonight, he even knows how to joke."

The mask covered Duan Mingyang's expression, but a smile leaked from his dark eyes: "Maybe it's because my two favorite people are by my side tonight."

Hearing this, Li Luo pulled up his mask and hid the corners of his mouth that were raised too high.

"Besides my dad, you are also the person I love the most."

He softly uttered this soft love language, letting it float into Duan Mingyang's ears by the night breeze.

They continued to walk forward, and they could already see the signboard of the hotel.There were also more passers-by on the street, and several people cast curious glances at the two tall men walking side by side.

"Want to hold hands?" Duan Mingyang asked suddenly.

There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, like a boy who just fell in love for the first time, making a green invitation to his beloved.I was a little worried about giving my lover a strange look, but after all, I couldn't restrain my passionate and sincere love.

Li Luo turned to look at him, and rolled his eyes: "Okay."

He stretched out his hand from his warm pocket to touch another more reassuring warmth.

Just as he was about to touch it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash behind him from the corner of his eye.

Duan Mingyang also noticed it, and quickly withdrew his hand.

But he was firmly grasped by the other hand halfway.

"Let's go." Li Luo looked forward again, took his hand, interlocked his fingers, and strode forward, "Mr. Duan, you hired me to shine your life, then come with me and walk under the sun." Bar!"

The astonishment in Duan Mingyang's eyes gradually dissipated, he stared at the frank and fearless lover beside him, finally turned his head back with a smile, put aside the more and more frequent flashing lights, and walked forward together with him.

"it is good."

He clenched his hand in the palm of his hand, and the two rings overlapped tightly.

"I am willing."
