21 days before marriage

In the end, Liu Zizhan sent Shen Tuo home.

When they got there, the two sat in the car without talking for a long time, just like the silence on the road just now.

Shen Tuo had no intention of getting out of the car at all. Thanks to the full sleep in the evening, his mind is so clear now that he didn't even doze off at all.Similarly, the unspeakable embarrassment that followed was even more invisible.

After a long time, Liu Zizhan was the first to break the deadlock.

"you arrived."

"Ah."

Still not moving.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Liu Zizhan asked suddenly.

Shen Tuo briefly thought about it. There will be a regular department meeting in the morning, and he will meet with clients in the afternoon. It seems that Chu Yuan has already agreed with him in the evening, and has made an appointment with some friends to introduce to him.

"It's free." Shen Tuo said.

"Okay, then I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning." Liu Zizhan restarted the car, "Now, hurry up and go back to sleep."

Shen Tuo didn't know how he got out of the car, he watched Liu Zizhan drive away in a daze, feeling in a mess.

He didn't have the guts to recall the details of molesting Liu Zizhan just now, he just felt that he didn't know himself at all.

He was very grateful that Liu Zizhan didn't turn his back on the spot or punch him.Even if he did that, it was completely justified, and Shen Tuo could only accept it.

Fortunately, Liu Zizhan did not.

It was a miserable night, like flipping pancakes in bed.The next day when Shen Tuo looked in the mirror, he really had two dark circles under his eyes.He wiped his face carelessly, brushed his teeth, and was not in the mood for breakfast.

Call the company and lie about being sick.After arranging work and assistants, he made a cup of coffee, restless, and ran to the balcony several times to see if Liu Zizhan's car was coming.

As a result, I waited until 9:30 when the phone rang.

"Come down, I'm here." Liu Zizhan said.

Shen Tuo glanced from the balcony and saw his Volvo parked at the door of his apartment.

Shen Tuo picked up his coat and hurried downstairs.

After getting into the car, Liu Zizhan drove off as soon as he stepped on the accelerator without even turning his head to his side.Shen Tuo sat in the co-pilot's seat, uneasy in his heart, and stole a few glances at Liu Zizhan. The other party's face was calm, showing no emotions or sorrows at all.

"Liu Zizhan..."

"Ok?"

"Have you eaten yet?" There was nothing to say.

"Ah."

......

"Where are we going?"

"Go pick up my dad." Liu Zizhan said, "He's coming out today."

"What?!" Shen Tuo was startled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, when did you know?"

"It's not a glorious thing to be released from prison. Do you want to announce it to the world and set off firecrackers to celebrate?" Liu Zizhan said lightly.

The shock was so great that it diluted the embarrassment in Shen Tuo's heart earlier.

Liu Zizhan's father blinded someone in one eye in his early years, and was sentenced to 15 years for deliberately hurting others. Later, he fought and made trouble in prison, and was fined for several years. He served a total of more than 20 years in prison.

This is the real reason why Liu Zizhan transferred to S Middle School, which is far away from home, in the second year of junior high school. The original school could not stay any longer.

Only Shen Tuo knew about this.It wasn't because Liu Zizhan told him on his own initiative, Shen Tuo knew it was all because of an accident.

In the middle school where Liu Zizhan was studying, there was a girl who liked him, so she wanted to break up with her boyfriend.After knowing that his girlfriend had moved on, the boyfriend called a few good buddies to come to Liu Zizhan to settle the score.

Shen Tuo still remembered that summer afternoon, when Liu Zizhan was pushed and shoved by three boys on the way home from school, the leader of them scolded him as "the son of a reform-through-labour prisoner".

Liu Zizhan, who has always been gentle, seemed to have changed suddenly that day, his eyes could kill.He slowly untied his schoolbag and threw it aside, and asked, "Can you say it again?"

The provocateur still didn't know what to do, so he pushed Liu Zizhan, "I just said it, how about it?...the son of a labor camp prisoner! The son of a labor camp prisoner!"

Liu Zizhan suddenly grabbed his collar and punched him with a swing.The boy was stunned by the beating and didn't react for a while.Seeing that something was wrong, the other two on the side rushed forward to help.Liu Zizhan completely ignored the fists that greeted him, he just grabbed the provocative guy desperately and beat him up.

At that time, Shen Tuo hadn't gotten so close to Liu Zizhan, so he felt a little disdainful towards him.When the matter first started, I completely watched from the sidelines with the mentality of watching a good show.But I didn't expect that there would be a fight, and it was Liu Zizhan who started it first.Such a gentle person can hit so hard.

After all, he was his classmate, and he was besieged by several people from other schools, so it was really unreasonable not to help.

Shen Tuo has always been a good naughty fighter and a pioneer in fighting.There is a certain reason why the grades are so excellent, but they are not rated as three good students every year.

With him joining the battle group, the situation changed immediately.In the end, the few boys didn't please them after all, and left in disgrace.

Shen Tuo and the others were also painted.It would be true to say that the friendship between the two of them was more or less the result of a fight.Afterwards, Shen Tuo took Liu Zizhan home to apply red potion, and after getting familiar with it slowly, Liu Zizhan told Shen Tuo some things at home.

......

Shen Tuo looked at Liu Zizhan who was sitting next to him, he had already left the youthfulness of his student days.

Brand-name T-shirts, crisp black trousers, bluetooth earphones hanging from ears, and wrists comfortably and skillfully buckled on the steering wheel. There is no expression of joy or anger on his face, and he looks like a social elite.

The man's sad eyes, the tears running down his cheeks, the bruises from the fight, only I have ever seen.Shen Tuo thought.

Volvo gliding steadily on the road, Shen Tuo stared blankly at Liu Zizhan's slender fingers and protruding joints, and suddenly thought in his heart, why does this guy look so thin.

"You don't want to insult me ​​again, do you?" Liu Zizhan said with a half-smile.

Shen Tuo blushed, and looked away, "Who molested you?"

Liu Zizhan smiled and didn't pursue this issue any further. "You're actually busy today, aren't you?"

"nor."

"I didn't want to call you, but when I thought of meeting him, I was a little scared."

"Have you met your dad all these years?" Shen Tuo asked.

Liu Zizhan shook his head, "My mother said, treat him as dead."

"Your mother must hate him."

"But he's not dead after all." Liu Zizhan smiled, "There's no way to fix it all."

Liu Zizhan's tone was very lonely, Shen Tuo was speechless.

"Then how do you plan to settle him?"

"Let's talk about it first." Liu Zizhan said, "I haven't thought of that much yet."

The two stopped talking again.

"Liu Zizhan..."

"Ok?"

"Don't be afraid... I'm here."
