martyrdom

The way home was not smooth.Yuan Fei first "accidentally" took the wrong highway, took a detour for nearly two hours, and "forgot to avoid congestion" and drove the car directly on the section of the road that was congested shortly after the accident.

The sky had gradually dimmed, but they were still thousands of kilometers away from home.Even if you drive overnight, you may not be able to arrive before dawn.

The atmosphere in the car has been suppressed to the extreme.From the beginning to the end, Yu'er never complained to her, never and could not ask her why she frequently went wrong way, but the frown became deeper and deeper, and she chatted with her less and less.

Gradually, Yuan Fei began to feel like sitting on pins and needles.

The traffic jam is still going on, moving forward a few meters from time to time, and it makes people unable to relax at all.Finally, a fork appeared ahead, which was the exit of a small town.Many vehicles left from the side road one after another. When Yuan Fei was hesitating, he heard Yu'er's voice softly: "Go down."

Go down... take the national road?Although it is much farther than the highway and the speed limit is lower, if Huan Yuer drives back overnight, maybe he can really catch up with the next day's court session.

Yuan Fei refused with the mentality of breaking the jar: "Wait a little longer, I guess... the traffic will be open soon."

After being silent for a long time, Yu'er sighed, as if she had reached the limit of her tolerance, but she didn't have an attack, she just said helplessly: "Go down and find a place to stay overnight. It's too tiring to drive late."

Yuan Fei suddenly turned her head and looked at the girl in surprise.

"What are you looking at?" Yu'er forced a chuckle, "I don't know what you have in mind. If you don't speak out, you still play such a small trick, it's childish."

Having said that, in fact, Yu'er is very clear that Yuan Fei didn't speak up because she couldn't speak up.The reason behind it is too complicated, and maybe she will never be able to understand it. It is not something that can be communicated clearly by asking a few "whys", without any grievances.

So that match, that punishment, are all foreshadowing for this moment.

This concealment and deception, even the use of it, made her feel chilled and did not dare to speculate, let alone turn her face against Yuan Fei.Because she knew better, she could not, and would not let anyone or anything become the last straw that overwhelmed Yuan Fei.

Yuan Fei stared at her in silence for a moment, the redness in the corners of her eyes was covered by the dark night, leaving only a piece of crystal clear water.Yu'er didn't say anything, just turned her head and slowly closed her eyes.

The car drove off the highway and stopped in a fairly clean small hotel.That night, they still slept in each other's arms, but they suffered from the sourness of the same bed and different dreams.

A few days after I went back, school started. Regarding the missed trial, no one asked anything, no one said anything, and it was just exposed and not mentioned.They are all waiting, waiting for the final result.

A month later, the verdict came.He was charged with molesting a child and was sentenced to four years.

Hearing this result from Bai Yi's mouth for the first time, Yu'er was so surprised that she didn't speak for a long time.As far as she knew, Kang Yu was just providing convenience for others to moleste children, but he had never done such a thing himself.I thought it would be at most a year and a half, but I didn't expect to be sentenced to four years.

"Do you have a backup of the evidence submitted at the trial?"

On the other side, Bai Yi sighed helplessly: "I advise you not to read it. It's best for you to let this matter go."

Who is "you" referring to, and what does this sentence imply, Yu'er is very clear.Knowing that Bai Yi is not good at breaking a promise to someone, Yu'er no longer made things difficult for him, but just thanked him softly, for his advice, and also for his sacrifice of professional ethics to her Yuan Fei.

This weekend, Yuan Fei applied for a prison visit, and saw Kang Yu, who was disheveled and shackled, behind a glass partition.

Four years of prison life, and the gloomy future after being released from prison, is it more uncomfortable than death for Mr. Kang, who is originally in power and has a lot of money?

Yuan Fei looked at him, tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled a little satisfied.

"You should really show Gu Yuzhi the face of a villain who has fallen into trouble." The person in the glass room spat with resentful eyes.

"The face of a villain?" Yuan Fei said in a relaxed tone, "Compared to Mr. Kang, I am willing to bow down."

"You bribed witnesses, tampered with testimony, let that lawyer Bai, who has always been known for his integrity, assist you at the risk of ruining his professional ethics and future, and even counted the people next to his pillow, just to aggravate my crime and make me suffer more. Several years in prison... Heh, I should thank you for looking up to me, Teacher Yuan."

This accusation, Yuan Fei generously admitted: "Yes, you deserve this."

"Do I deserve it, or did you impose it on me to vent your anger? Yuan Fei, you don't deserve to be a teacher, you don't deserve to have so many readers and fans, and you don't deserve to be Gu Yuzhi's lover!"

Kang Yu was filled with righteous indignation when he scolded, Yuan Fei listened with relish, and actually laughed out loud, from low brows to a smile that couldn't help but make Kang Yu furious: "Are you crazy?"

"I think you're right," Yuan Fei smiled with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Kang's golden and good words, every sentence is precise, although what he said is human, it's a pity that he is a dissatisfied animal. Thinking about it this way, can't it be Isn't it funny?"

Kang Yu gritted his teeth and hissed: "I didn't! I never did such a thing, you framed me! Even if I provided conditions for them, it was not voluntary! Just like at that time, you asked Gu Yuzhi proposed to break up...I thought you understood the feeling of being threatened..."

"It's really sympathetic to be threatened. You reminded me that I didn't come here today to add insult to injury." Yuan Fei sarcastically said, but her expression was as cold as snow, completely different from her usual gentle and quiet appearance. If the two of them saw Kang Yu completely stunned, he even forgot to ask her the real reason for coming.

From her eyes, he saw something more terrifying than hatred, killing intent.

"I'm here to tell you today, Kang Yu, this is just the beginning." Yuan Fei said word by word, "I will repay the pain you have brought to me and Yu'er."

"Repay the amount? How do I feel that it is doubled?"

It wasn't Kang Woo who said that.

The two turned their heads at the same time, looking at the girl who had just walked into the visiting room.

It seems that all the previous conversations have fallen into Yu'er's ears.There was a playful smile on Kang Yu's face, and he looked at Yuan Fei leisurely, and Yuan Fei's cold expression was completely gone at this time, replaced by apprehension, bewilderment, and panic...

Yu'er walked over and stood in front of Yuan Fei, but she spoke with unexpected tenderness and doting: "It's better to double the number. Teacher Yuan is not good at mathematics, so it's no wonder he can't figure it out."

Yuan Fei forced a smile, stood up, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

Yu'er took her hand and looked at the stunned Kang Yu: "Want to see a crisis of trust and turn against each other? I've let you down, Mr. Kang."

Unbelievable was written all over Kang Yu's face, and he couldn't say a word.

"Four years later, if there is fate, we will see you again." Yu'er said the last sentence in a joking tone, and led Yuan Fei out of Kang Yu's sight.

Then, let go.

As expected, Yuan Fei still felt empty, and then felt a dull pain.

In the prison compound in the deep winter, thousands of trees are withered, and there is no vitality to be seen.Yu'er put her hands in her pockets, and walked ahead alone, without questioning or accusing, so calm that Yuan Fei felt that she couldn't see through her.

Is she waiting for her own explanation, or is she already so heartbroken that she wants to give up on her?

During the month of waiting for the verdict, Yuan Fei experienced such doubts countless times.She can feel Yu'er's contradictions, and she can also sense the strangeness mixed in those intimate companionships that are the same as before, and she can understand Yu'er's expectations for her better.But she just pretended to be stupid, didn't do anything, and kept evading.

Right now, everything is clear, there is no escape, and it is time to listen to the result quietly.

The person walking in front suddenly stopped and looked back at her.She also stopped, jumping like thunder in the heart of Yu'er's ambiguous expression.

Time seemed to go back to the night when they first met. It was the same walk without saying a word, and the same distance between the front and the back. The girl's eyebrows remained the same, calm and indifferent, and her mood was invisible. To stand in an unchanging posture.

She remembered that night, after the girl stood for a while, she reached out her hand.The white palm shimmered and was full of charm, making her eager to get close and look forward to holding each other.

But now, it is doomed not to wait for her to reach out.

Yuan Fei looked away, tears blurred his vision, and gradually condensed into a drop of warm liquid, which slipped out of the eye socket.

But the girl's voice suddenly sounded in my ear, sweet and melodious as before, without any extra emotion: "Why are you walking so slowly, come here."

She raised her head suddenly, and a plain white hand appeared in her blurred vision. The shiny palm was slightly opened, and it just reached out to her steadily, waiting for her to come forward and hold her tightly.

Yuan Fei smiled in relief, blinked back the overflowing tears, and held that hand.

"Where is the car parked?" Yu'er picked her up again, looked around the parking area in the yard, squeezed her hand and asked.

Yuan Fei was taken aback: "I... didn't come here by car." The prison visit was done without telling Yu'er, and the excuse to go out was to take a walk to get some air, so the car was fortunately parked in the garage of the community.

Yu'er sighed, and said helplessly: "I knew you were going to see Kang Yu, but I thought you would come by car."

"You didn't drive either?"

"I thought you drove away."

Yuan Fei didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so she remained silent.After a while, Yu'er suggested softly: "Then let's go for a walk, I also have something to ask you carefully."

Yuan Fei suddenly became nervous, looked at Yu'er vigilantly, but didn't respond.Yu'er could only add: "If there are questions you don't want to talk about, you don't have to answer me, I don't mind."

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Fei nodded.

Yu'er led her out of the prison yard, walked slowly along the quiet road towards home, and after thinking about it, asked the first question: "I want to know how you persuaded Bai Yi. "

"No need to persuade, he will naturally obey my request."

obey.Yu'er couldn't help frowning at this word, but she didn't say anything, but continued to ask the next question: "Do you know what the consequences will be if it is discovered that you have framed Kang Yu?"

"I am certain."

"Then are you clear that if found out, I, as an accomplice, will also be implicated?"

"So I chose to hide it from you."

Yu'er shook her head and chuckled: "Whether you conceal it or not, it won't change the fact that I assisted you in breaking the law. Yuan Fei, I don't ask you about such illusory things as morality and reputation. I only ask you. In order to sentence Kang Yu for a few more years, Do you really think it's worth taking the risk that you and I may have nothing and lose everything?"

"I think it's worth it."

"why?"

Yuan Fei's answer was very firm: "Because one year is not enough, I will never allow him to—"

At this point, I realized that I had made a slip of the tongue, so I stopped abruptly.

Yu'er stopped and looked at her seriously: "What's not enough, what is it again?"

Yuan Fei also looked back at her, as if recalling some painful memory, her brows and eyes were full of reluctance and sadness.

"... Yuan Fei?"

Yuan Fei's voice was horribly low: "Do you really know what it means to have nothing and lose everything?"

The author has something to say:

I... still can't bear to abuse... so in this chapter, knives are not considered knives, and sugar is not considered sugar.
