cold flame

The bright light illuminates the small room white and dazzling, and the air conditioner is constantly blowing cold air, making the places within reach cold.Lin Mo sat on a somewhat worn-out chair, feeling as if the concrete floor under his feet was gathering coolness towards him, and his heart became even more uneasy.

There was another person sitting not far from his seat. The green dragon on his arm looked a little weird because of the other person's movements at this time. He leaned forward with his upper body, put his hands on his knees and supported his chin with the back of his hands, with a pensive and annoyed expression. The appearance, even the tattooed dragon head on the bulging muscles, looks as discouraged as the owner.

Lin Mo has been staying here since he came to the police station to take the transcript. The tattooed man is in another room except him. He originally thought that there would be another dispute after the two met, but who knows, they were in the bar before. The arrogant and domineering person who deliberately provoked trouble was surprisingly quiet at this time, only the sound of the person in the blue police uniform sitting in front of him clacking and typing on the keyboard.

I don't know how long time passed, Lin Mo sat there motionless, but the most shocking scene kept playing in his mind. There was chaos and screams at that time. In the chaos, he only saw the crying face of the person he stabbed. His distorted face, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't remember how deep the stab was, or which part of his body the wound was on.

If he is seriously injured and the other party sues him, he will not only pay compensation and apology, but also be accompanied by criminal charges, leaving a tainted record for life.But compared to the other possibility that is more frightening... Lin Mo thought that his mind was stuffed with paste, blocking all his thoughts, and he dared not think about it.

There was a sound of footsteps in the empty late-night corridor, and the police officer outside the door asked the colleague in the room to go out and say something, and after a while, he heard the man push open the half-covered door and shout: "Lin Mo, come out one time."

Lin Mo silently followed the police officer who came to call him to the other end of the corridor. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a familiar figure turning around, walking up to him and staring at him closely.

Gao Wenxuan's eyes swept up and down, and his brows slightly stretched, "It's good that you didn't get hurt."

In just a few words, Lin Mo's unspoken words were blocked in his throat, and his original anxiety about the seriousness of the situation was in a trance for a moment.

The other party seemed to feel his uneasiness, and whispered, "It's fine with me here."

"En." Lin Mo nodded, and stopped looking at Gao Wenxuan's eyes full of worry and comfort.

But he had to admit that after seeing the other party appear, and hearing the words of concern and condolences from the other party's mouth instead of harsh questioning, the apprehension and panic that surrounded him suddenly dissipated.

Even Lin Mo himself couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that unconsciously, his inner trust in Gao Wenxuan was so deep that there was no need for extra questions and answers, just a few words from the other party could dispel all worries and let him Find peace of mind.

And this gradually maintained dependence made Lin Mo avoid instinctively. He turned around and waited for Gao Wenxuan to finish the follow-up at the door without saying a word.

Lin's father and Lin's mother came later. They called their son-in-law as soon as they learned that their son was hurting someone in a bar. Gao Wenxuan was the closest and had a wide network of contacts. Of course, he was the first choice to notify.

Facts proved that their approach was correct. Gao Wenxuan not only got away and rushed to the police station early, but also used his connections to allow Lin Mo, who should have been detained, to obtain the qualification for release on bail in advance. After the process was successfully completed, Lin Mo and Gao Wenxuan were in the lobby of the police station. I saw Lin's father and Lin's mother who came in a hurry.

The two wore loose and casual clothes. Mother Lin's loose hair looked a little messy. Even Father Lin, who always paid attention to decency, was wearing slippers. It was not difficult to see the degree of panic. After they heard that Lin Mo's accident was at the police station .

"Wenxuan, I have troubled you again this time." Father Lin expressed his gratitude to the son-in-law who had helped him three times and four times.

"Dad, it's all from this family. It's too strange for you to say that."

Father Lin nodded wearily, settled his mind and turned to look at his son. After confirming that Lin Mo was unharmed, his expression turned dark, and he said sharply: "What do you mean you are messing around outside all day? Telling you not to go to the bar I have to go to this kind of place for work, so it’s alright now? Something happened? When you were young, it’s fine to fight with others, but now that you’ve grown up, do you know that this time your life is at stake—”

When he was so excited, he raised a hand and was about to pat Lin Mo.Lin's mother next to him hurriedly grabbed Lin's father to persuade him, while Gao Wenxuan quietly protected Lin Mo behind him.

"Dad, now is not the time to be angry. Besides, this time the other party provoked the trouble first. Momo just defended himself. Although he accidentally missed, but the scene was chaotic at the time, he can't be blamed entirely. The injured person is now in the central hospital. Colleagues told me that there is no danger to my life, you and mom can rest assured for now."

The Central Hospital is a well-known general hospital in the city, including Gao Wenxuan's psychiatric department. With his connections and family background, it is not difficult to inquire about an emergency patient in the hospital where he works. Hearing what his son-in-law said, Lin The father knew that it was not purely personal comfort, so he was a little peaceful.

He glanced at Lin Mo who had been silent from beginning to end, sighed and said helplessly: "This child was spoiled by your mother when he was young, and protected by his sister when he grew up, and now even you help him everywhere, ah... just He didn’t make him suffer so much that he made such a big mistake.”

"This time it happened suddenly. I believe Momo, he must also want this to happen."

Lin Mo couldn't help looking at Gao Wenxuan, who relieved his father's anger, and the other party returned a look, and then continued to say to Lin's father and Lin's mother: "Dad, Mom, I have just completed the formalities. It's so late, you and Mo Mo go back quickly Rest, I'll take you out."

Mother Lin asked suspiciously: "Ah? Wenxuan, won't you come with us? Come back with us, and I'll make you some supper."

Gao Wenxuan explained as he walked, "There are still some friends in the police station who need to stay and take care of it. Just wait for news from me at home. Don't worry too much."

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise your father and I really don't know what to do..."

"I should too."

Gao Wenxuan sent them to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and helped to open the door to let Lin's father and Lin's mother, who had just recovered, get into the car.Lin Mo stood behind the passenger seat door and looked at Gao Wenxuan, his clear eyes were full of hesitation.

Gao Wenxuan just smiled slightly.As if understanding what he wanted to say, he stepped forward and reminded softly: "Hurry up and get in the car."

Lin Mo nodded and got into the car, and then watched the other party's figure getting farther and farther in the rearview mirror. Behind him was his father's affirmative voice, with a bit of emotion, "This child Wenxuan really has nothing to say."

"Yeah, I always feel a lot more at ease with him..."

I feel much more relieved... Lin Mo is not. Although he always speaks coldly to Gao Wenxuan because of self-avoidance, and even provokes conflicts. It can be said that deliberately ignoring the other party's behavior can be said to be comprehensive, but at this critical moment, he is often the first One that comes to mind is also this person.

As long as this person says "it's okay" and casts a gentle look that is too normal to be normal, he can easily remove the heavy tension on his shoulders, and make a voice in his heart resonate. Gao Wenxuan...

Of course, Lin Mo's feeling was different from the trust his parents had in Gao Wenxuan.

After returning home to wash up, Father Lin seemed to be really appeased by his son-in-law's words, and instead of continuing to educate Lin Mo, was dragged back to the room by Mother Lin to rest.When Lin Mo passed by their bedroom, he just heard Father Lin talking on the phone loudly.

Turning off the lights and laying on the bed with no intention of sleeping, the phone screen lit up in the dark, Lin Mo quickly pressed the call button.

"Not asleep yet?"

"Well, I can't sleep." The other party's voice was very low, as if afraid of waking him up, so Lin Mo unconsciously answered softly.

"I knew it, that's why I called you." Lin Mo held on to the phone tightly, waiting for the other party to continue, "The emergency department is over, there is no serious injury, and you need to be hospitalized for a while, as long as the other party doesn't sue, everything will be fine manage."

"Today is because—" Lin Mo remembered that he hadn't told Gao Wenxuan what happened until now, and he didn't know where to start. Besides, the real reason for his impulsiveness was alcohol or something else. Factors, even he himself finds it difficult to be understood.

The other party waited quietly for a few seconds before slowly opening his mouth: "You must have your own reasons, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, anyway, you will be fine." He paused, "I won't either. Let you have any criminal record."

The darkness is not all unknown and fearful. Lin Mo, who gradually got used to it, looked at the outline of the piano not far in front of him, as if a soft music sounded from the bottom of his heart, he pressed his face to the phone and said in a normal volume: "Thank you you."

Gao Wenxuan changed his solemn tone: "I really shouldn't laugh at this time, but this is the first time I've heard you say these words to me so sincerely. When the matter is completely over, it's not too late for you to thank me."

"it is good."

"Why don't you invite me to dinner to express your gratitude?"

Lin Mo froze for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

"Then it's settled, you rest, I should hang up."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."
