don't sacrifice

After that, it was three years.

Zhou Qichen still stayed in Beihai City. Gradually, he also got used to the heroic climate in the north, and got along quite well with his colleagues.When getting together with them, Zhou Qichen always felt like he was at home.It's just that occasionally when I dream back at midnight, standing by the window overlooking this bustling and desolate city, I still feel a sense of loneliness in my heart.

In the past three years, Zhou Qichen has never been in a relationship.Seeing that he is almost at the age of three, the family members are also urging him, and the colleagues around him always introduce him to meet various girls, but in the end it all goes away.

Until that day he met Shen Luli in the bureau.Shen Luli had just graduated from university that year, and after finding a job, he moved out of the school dormitory and took a house in a nearby community.At first, she thought everything was safe, but gradually she found that the things in her room seemed to have been moved by someone.So she began to deliberately remember the location of something, but when she got home, she found that the location had indeed changed. She was so scared that she ran to the police station to call the police.

"Let me say, Miss, are you really... Are you sure you didn't remember wrongly?" Zhou Qichen was the one who dealt with her problem at that time.To be honest, Zhou Qichen's report to her was a little hard to believe. After all, things like memory are easy to make mistakes, and she just changed to a new environment, so she was inevitably a little suspicious.

"What I said is true, I don't dare to go home now!" Shen Luli became more emotional after hearing his words, and his eyes started to turn red, "You have to trust me, Comrade Police!"

Seeing her reddish eye sockets, Zhou Qichen suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"Okay then, I'll accompany you home to have a look."

Shen Luli lived in an old-fashioned community. The house was not big, but it was more than enough for her to live alone.Her home was very tidy, and Zhou Qichen could smell a faint fragrance the moment he entered the door, which greatly increased his affection for this girl.

He rummaged through her house several times, checked for anything suspicious, but found nothing wrong.

"Sure enough, you are more suspicious..." Zhou Qichen, who had found nothing, slumped on the sofa. The sofa was an old-fashioned rattan wood sofa, and his buttocks were hard when he sat up.But he couldn't just put it on a girl's bed, and there was a 1.8-meter bear on Shen Luli's bed. It's hard to imagine that she still has a place to sleep at night.

"Hmm...Maybe, it's true that I think too much." Seeing this situation, Shen Luli could only smile awkwardly.Seeing that Zhou Qichen was so tired, she was also quite embarrassed.It happened to be noon, so they decided to stay Zhou Qichen at home for dinner.

It was also Zhou Qichen's first time eating at a girl's house. Sitting on the sofa and watching Shen Luli busy in the kitchen, he suddenly had the idea of ​​getting married.

I'm going, what am I thinking!He smacked his cheeks with both hands, as if to repel the foolish thought.

Shen Luli's cooking skills are very good, and he enjoyed the meal very much.And while they were chatting, they actually came up with a common topic, and they chatted from noon to evening all at once.

When he was about to leave in the evening, seeing that Shen Luli was still a little uneasy, he left her his mobile phone number and asked her to call him if there was any situation.

Back in the bureau, Zhou Qichen and Xiao Xu are on the night shift today.Xiao Xu recently made a new girlfriend and insisted on telling Zhou Qichen about the surprise party he threw for her on her birthday.

"... At that time, I was hiding in that two-meter bear. If you didn't know it, I would be so hot! As soon as she opened the package, I couldn't wait to jump out..."

"Got it, got it, what's wrong with hiding in a bear... hiding in a bear..."

Zhou Qichen suddenly realized something, he stopped listening to Xiao Xu's nagging, and quickly called Shen Luli.

No one heard.

"Brother Xu, I'll go out for a while! If you don't receive my call after 10 minutes, take your brother to the address I searched this morning to find me!"

Zhou Qichen got up quickly, put on his clothes hastily, and ran out.He stopped a taxi on the street and rushed to Shen Lu's home.

When he came to Shen Luli's house, he knocked on the door but no one answered, so he knocked open the door with all his strength.Sure enough, there was a teddy bear skin and shredded cotton on the floor of the living room, which was the one he saw on Shen Luli's bed this morning.

"Come out! If you have something to say, don't hurt Miss Shen!" Zhou Qichen pulled out his gun from his waist and shouted into the room.

The bedroom door opened, and a thin and short middle-aged man walked out slowly.Zhou Qichen stepped forward to subdue him without saying a word, the man struggled desperately, broke free from Zhou Qichen, and rushed out the door.Zhou Qichen was pushed hard by him, staggered, fell down and knocked his head on the corner of the TV cabinet.

Faintly heard the sound of sirens coming from downstairs.He knew that the man could not escape, so he got up staggeringly, went into the house to look for Shen Luli.Shen Luli was tied to the bed with gauze stuffed in his mouth, tears streaming down his face.

Zhou Qichen frantically untied her restraints, and she immediately hugged Zhou Qichen tightly, crying loudly.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I surprised you..." The girl's embrace was thin and warm, and Zhou Qichen lost consciousness in this embrace after saying this.When he woke up, he was in the hospital the next day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Luli's red and swollen eyes. When he woke up, those eyes suddenly became full of smiles.

In the end, the pervert who sneaked into Shen Luli's home got the punishment he deserved, and Shen Luli and Zhou Qichen became close because of what happened that day.

Finally one day, Shen Luli confessed his love to Zhou Qichen.

"Hmm... yes." Zhou Qichen's answer was decisive but tangled.He didn't have the feeling that she had to be with Shen Luli. After they were together, he would even think, if he hadn't saved her that night, and it had been someone else, would she not have fallen in love with him.Zhou Qichen always thought that he knew nothing about feelings, but he didn't want to reject her, probably because the feeling of frailty when he held her in his arms that night was so familiar, and he couldn't forget it.

After they dated, he would visit her every weekend.And it happened that the sun was shining brightly one day, so Shen Luli got a swimming card and insisted on taking him to the swimming pool for exercise.

"You said that if I don't exercise someday, you can't let me take a break on the big weekend?" Zhou Qichen, who had no choice but to accompany her out, was full of complaints.

"You exercise every day, but I sit in front of the computer every day." Shen Luli took his arm and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Just treat me as a company, okay, Police Officer Zhou?"

"Okay, okay, I really convinced you..." Faced with every time Shen Luli acted like a baby, Zhou Qichen could only compromise in the end.

It happened that Zhou Qichen's car broke down and returned to the factory for repairs, the two had no choice but to take the bus in the hot summer.

That afternoon, the bus was overcrowded, mostly students who had just had their holidays.After finally a seat was vacant, Zhou Qichen made a way for Shen Luli to sit down.He himself was squeezed to the back door again by the crowd, desperately holding on to a ring to keep his balance.

Suddenly at this moment, he felt that someone was deliberately approaching him, and his sensitivity as a policeman made him pay more attention to that person's movements.He couldn't turn his head back, he could only feel that the man's hand gradually reached out to him, and cautiously reached into his pocket...

"Stop!" At the moment the man grabbed his wallet, he suddenly turned around, and his left hand quickly grabbed the thief's hand.The thief panicked for a moment, and suddenly raised his head, the peaked cap on his head fell off, revealing a face that had turned pale with fright.

"Why are you..." At that moment Zhou Qichen recognized him, the pale boy Bai Huaijin from three years ago.Now that he has grown up, his eyebrows and eyes have opened, but he also has a delicate and handsome face.Bai Huaijin probably recognized Zhou Qichen, he lowered his eyes, lowered his head and bit his lip without saying a word.

All the people in the car focused their attention on them.

"It's up to you." Bai Huaijin suddenly looked up indifferently, looking up at Zhou Qichen.After three years, Zhou Qichen's silhouette was reflected in his dark eyes again.

Zhou Qichen really didn't expect it to be him, he felt anger welling up from the bottom of his heart.He had thought that this young man would listen to his words and change his past, but he didn't expect that he was still doing this kind of thing, and he didn't care if he was caught.

"Let me handle it? Very good." He smiled coldly, "Driver, open the door!"

He dragged Bai Huaijin out of the car, and when he got out of the car, he actually forgot that there was a girlfriend in the car that he didn't know what happened.But now he was so full of anger that he could only see Bai Huaijin in front of him.

"I haven't seen you for three years. Your skills haven't improved at all, and you've been caught again." Zhou Qichen leaned against a big tree, his tone slightly mocking.

"...If I say, this is the second time I've stolen something, will you believe it?" Bai Huaijin lowered her head and spoke slowly.

"Is it justified to steal something the second time?" Zhou Qichen raised his voice, and passersby turned their heads frequently, "This kind of thing shouldn't happen once!"

"I know...I mean, I listened to you, correct me." His voice became smaller and smaller, "Only this time, if I don't do anything again, they will kill my sister..."

His voice became softer and his body began to tremble slightly.Zhou Qichen felt that something was wrong, "Hey, what are you..." Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Huaijin staggered and fell into his arms, closing his eyes tightly in pain.

"Hey, hey..." Zhou Qichen was a little at a loss, the boy's body seemed to be even thinner, and the cuffs of his coat slipped down, revealing the intertwined scars on his arms.

"What exactly is going on……"
