waste

For several days, Li Xu was half asleep and half awake when he heard the sound of Shu Yuan getting up and looking through the closet.At first he thought it was a hallucination, but it was too unbelievable to have the same hallucination for several days in a row, so on Friday night he listened to audiobooks with headphones and forced himself to stay awake.

Just as I was about to finish listening to a suspense novel highly recommended by netizens, there was a rustling sound from the earphones.Li Xu took off the earphones and turned his back to the wall. The sound below stopped immediately, and it took a while for it to continue.

Open the closet, rummage through things, open cartons, squeeze pills.

As soon as Shu Yuan mixed the medicine with cold water and swallowed it, Li Xu stepped on the ladder and jumped down. He was so frightened that he choked on a mouthful of water and coughed violently while covering his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Li Xu patted him on the back, "Scared you?"

"No..." Shu Yuan was glad that it was night, and the lights were off, so that he could cover the medicine box on the table with his body, "Aren't you asleep?"

Li Xu could hear the panic in his tone, he didn't say anything, and helped Shu Yuan close the cabinet door: "I went to the bathroom and drank too much water before going to bed."

"En." Shu Yuan still stood there motionless.

The silent confrontation seemed to be brewing doubts that were about to be solved, Li Xu was not in a hurry, leaned over and hugged Shu Yuan: "What are you blocking?"

Shu Yuan shook her head, felt the medicine box on the table behind her and held it in her hands.

At two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, the dormitory building was silent, and any small movement between the two of them was like the splash of water when pebbles were thrown into the river.

Li Xu took a step forward, stuck the person between himself and the desk, supported the table with one hand, and transferred his hand from Shu Yuan's back to the other's wrist: "Let me know, okay?"

He used a negotiating tone, but his attitude did not allow anyone to refuse.

When Shu Yuan was about to crumple the medicine box, Li Xu bowed her head and kissed him on the lips, ran her fingertips down his wrist, and grabbed the medicine box forcefully.

Before Li Xu lowered the pill box to see clearly, Shu Yuan whispered, "Diazepam tablets...this is Diazepam tablets."

The name of the medicine sounds unfamiliar to others, but it is very familiar to Li Xu.

Bai Shuang also took this medicine for a long time.

When he was a child, he hadn't slept with his mother in a separate room. When he saw her taking this medicine, he was curious and asked, "Mom, are you eating sugar?"

At that time, Bai Shuang was worried that he would take it secretly, so she would tell him: "This is a very bitter medicine. Mom always has a stomachache, so take this medicine to get better."

Later, when he grew up and knew how to surf the Internet, he looked up the name of the drug to know its efficacy.

"I always have nightmares..." Like that night in the wooden house on the beach, Shu Yuan softened her body and leaned against him, "I'm very scared, my hands and feet are cold," he put his hands on Li Xu's face , "If you take this medicine, you can control your emotions and sleep more comfortably."

Li Xu slowly put the medicine box back.

He couldn't tell what mood he was in right now, and wanted to walk into Shu Yuan's dream to protect him, but he also knew that he didn't have the ability.Shu Yuan lived too hard. Without dignity, she could have managed to survive, but she still had to worry about nightmares.

"I got it," Li Xu accepted his wish, "I got it."

He coaxed Shu Yuan back to the bed, and then climbed up himself, holding him in his arms like he used to lie together: "Take me into your dreams, I will be more effective than your medicine."

At noon on Saturday, Li Xu dug out the report that had not been opened since he got it last year. He rubbed the seal and dialed Shen Zhaoshi's number.

Yao Yilei and Li Jue were having lunch at home, and when Li Xu went downstairs with her bag on her back, she didn't even look at the dining table.But there are always some people in the world who like to make trouble, and his annoying brother is one of them.

"Why did you just come back and go out again? Did you realize that you don't belong to this family, so you dare not stay in this room anymore?" Li Jue waved away Yao Yilei's hand that was about to cover his mouth.

Li Xu quickly changed the shoes, straightened up and threw the car key in his hand: "Brother, go out and find you a suitable place to live in the garbage dump."

He felt that his father was really idle. Three years ago, he invested in a new batch of electronic teaching equipment for Qinghe Middle School, and arranged him to enter this school. Li Jue got into the key class of the first year of senior high school, and he didn't consider his feelings at all-forget it, his father could live up to the wife who saved his life, so why would he think about his useless son.

Li Xu drove very fast, and the file bag in his backpack weighed heavily on him.If it weren't for the determination to seek justice for Shu, he would just let himself lie in the traffic and let his life die.But no, there is still a person waiting for him on the edge of the cliff in this world, and he will never extinguish the last spark in Shu Yuan's eyes.

In the appointed private room of the restaurant, Shen Zhaoshi ordered the dishes and waited for him. After sitting down, Li Xu drank the water in the glass first, and after breathing well, he said, "Didn't disturb your work?"

"Today is Saturday." Shen Zhaoshi reminded.

"Tsk, look at me," Li Xu smiled helplessly, "I haven't been able to tell the day of the week since I was in my third year of high school."

"I used to be like this too," Shen Zhaoshi added water for him, "but I had a very fulfilling life, and now I'm about to run to the third day, but I still miss those days."

The two tacitly agreed not to talk about business matters during the meal, and after the meal the waiter came in to clean up the messy cups and plates before Li Xu took out the portfolio from his bag.

"It hasn't been opened yet?" Shen Zhaoshi asked in surprise.

"Well," Li Xu pushed the file bag over, "I have thought about reading it many times, but I still dare not. I feel that I don't have the courage to face the report with straightforward language... You should do it."

"Okay." Shen Zhaoshi was quite elegant, and he used the Swiss Army knife he carried with him to move neatly, and slashed a straight opening on the seal with a swish.

Li Xu looked away, took out his phone and dialed it a few times, and clicked on the chat interface with Shu Yuan to find something to say: "Have you seen the photo of the beach?"

It took a while for the other party to reply: "I'm watching."

"Does it look good?" Li Xu asked.

"It's pretty." Shu Yuan replied.

"How pretty?" Li Xu asked again.

Shu Yuan didn't reply anymore, Li Xu had nothing to divert his attention, and felt uneasy listening to Shen Zhaoshi's sound of flipping papers in the quiet private room.

"How is it?" Li Xu threw a meaningless question to Shen Zhaoshi, actually he didn't know what he was asking.

Shen Zhaoshi read the last two paragraphs before looking up and asking: "After this incident happened, didn't Shu Yuan's family sue him?"

"No," Li Xu said, "I asked my dad to check it. At that time, their family wanted to sue, but Baijiang No. [-] Middle School didn't do anything, and even suppressed the matter. It was just to protect the perpetrators. His family suffered from being dumb."

"Although this report is detailed, what can be provided between the lines is only one-sided information." Shen Zhaoshi took out a pen and circled the time, place and the course of the incident. "This information is from the perspective of the victim. Regarding the perpetrator, except It simply stated the purpose of his violence, and nothing else was provided."

"Oh," Li Xu pulled his hair, "That Zheng Mouyong, his father runs an underground money shop in Baijiang City, and has a lot of connections, even the leaders of Baijiang No. [-] Middle School dare not oppose him."

"Underground money house? This is a crime," Shen Zhaoshi put on a serious expression, "If this matter was suppressed because of his family's background, why not go in the opposite direction and get rid of it while solving this matter?" This underground bank?"

Go in the opposite direction?

Li Xu sat up straight: "What do we need to do?"

"Collect as much evidence as possible, such as surveillance, witnesses, and the original author of the report, how the other party learned the whole process of the truth, and the victim's injury check report." Shen Zhaoshi put the cap on his pen and stuffed the report Reseal the sealed bag, "Of course I can help with all these, but the most important thing for you, Li Xu, is to convince Shu Yuan's family to agree to sue the perpetrator."

There was a moment of silence in the air. Seeing Shen Zhaoshi's hesitant expression, Li Xu couldn't help but said, "Lawyer Shen, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Shen Zhaoshi patted Li Xu on the shoulder: "That's right, Xiao Shi told me that the relationship between you and your father is not very good, but I think this case is very tricky because it has to do with the background of the perpetrator, and I still have to ask for help when necessary." Your father makes the move."

After coming out of the restaurant, Li Xu sat on the streetcar and stared at the endless flow of the street, and was in a daze for a while.

Asking Li Wenxuan to intervene in this case is tantamount to publicly explaining his relationship with Shu Yuan to the other party, and he will bear all the consequences.

And he only has one bargaining chip in his hand, he is not afraid to hand over the bargaining chip, just afraid that this thing is worthless in Li Wenxuan's eyes.

The phone in his trouser pocket vibrated, Li Xu took it out to look, and Shu Yuan sent him a message: "I'm sorry, I just went to eat."

"It's okay, I just finished eating." Li Xu replied.

Immediately after Shu Yuan's phone call came, Li Xu answered it quickly: "The little dinosaur has learned to call me now?"

"I've read all the photos and videos." Shu Yuan leaned on the bed and listened to the car horn on Li Xu's side, "Are you outside?"

"Well, there are two garbage people at home, I don't want to see their dirty faces." Li Xu half complained and half joked, "Which photo do you like the most?"

Shu Yuan held the laptop and blushed: "Why did you take a picture of the kiss?"

"Oh, you like this one the most," Li Xu smiled as he leaned on the streetcar, "This picture is quite memorable. Fortunately, both of us are on camera, so it's perfect just by taking a random shot."

"Crazy." Shu Yuan said.

"Apart from these three words, what else would you scold?" Li Xu asked.

"Silly dog." Shu Yuan immediately changed the word.

"I admit it." Li Xu replied.

The conversation was interrupted suddenly, Shu Yuan didn't answer, but Li Xu held Shen Zhaoshi's business card and hesitated whether to speak or not.

In any case, bringing up the bullying incident to Shu Yuan is tantamount to hurting the other party a second time, but if this matter is not resolved for a day, it will always be an inextricable knot in Shu Yuan's heart.

"Little dinosaur," Li Xu called out in a low voice, "I'll accompany you to wake up from the nightmare, okay?"
