hold peck

This is not the first time that He Zhi has appeared at the gate of the detention center.

According to the stereotype of the world, his bond with this kind of place should be enough to entangle him for half his life, but unfortunately, He Zhi never wore the uniform here.

Thinking about how a beauty like He Jin can't wear an orange vest to show her temperament and spirit, maybe she really came here today to see Xu Ji'an's jokes.

Thinking of this, He Zhi smiled unceremoniously.

Probably because he had never seen a happy-looking person who took a taxi to the gate of the detention center. The driver gave him a weird look, and after He Zhi wrapped Xu Peck up and protected him from the car, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away. , Let the two eat a buttock of exhaust gas.

He Zhi gave a "tsk", and blocked Xu Peck's slap-sized face with one hand to prevent him from being blown by the cold wind, while casually looking up at the only third person within a ten-mile radius.

The one standing in front of the big iron gate of the detention center and still wearing a suit and leather shoes was probably the lawyer Yang who Xu Peck had communicated with on the phone when he arrived.

I don't know if it's because birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. Xu Ji'an himself has a gentle and arrogant skin, and even his lawyer looks like a beast in clothes.

He Zhi squeezed his roots wearily, trying to squeeze out some of his impatience towards Xu Ji'an.

The effect was not bad. When he opened his eyes again, the elegant lawyer Yang changed from a beast in clothes to a gentle scum.

"Little peck."

When the two approached, Yang Youting called Xu Peck gently.

It was probably because Xu Ji'an's annoying filter was too thick. He Zhi didn't notice that Lawyer Yang was actually a pretty good-looking middle-aged man until he got close to him.

Gay saw Gay, and when the two were talking in low voices, his mind wandered, and he couldn't help maliciously speculating whether Xu Ji'an was actually a bastard who tricked his wife into marrying him.

I didn't go into details on the phone just now, but Yang Youting succinctly added a few words to explain the current situation, and comforted Xu Peck a few more words, and then turned his gaze to He Zhi who was leaning against the wall and was sleepy.

"this……"

"It's my brother." Xu Peck quickly answered.

It's pretty easy to say now.

He Zhi slightly pursed his lips, turned around and faced an adult who was about his height, and nodded to save face: "Hello, my name is He Zhi."

Yang Youting has worked as a lawyer for Xu Ji'an for more than ten years, and his friendship is far from an ordinary employment relationship. It is impossible for him not to understand the messy affairs of Xu's family.

But when he heard the visitor's surname was "He", he didn't show any special expression, instead he nodded to him very naturally, and spoke to Xu Peck, calmly.

"Well, your uncle, he wants to see this child first."

He Zhi: "...?"

Counting with fingers, He Zhi and Xu Ji'an have only met each other once, but just this one side can upgrade them to an upright annoying person in each other's heart, which is really remarkable.

Xu Peck watched He Zhi's back disappearing at the end of the corridor without turning his eyes, lowered his head silently, and his eyes fell on his open palm.

He was still not sure if it was the right decision to come here with He Zhi today.

But in the final analysis, he was the only outsider. He Zhi wanted to accompany him, and Xu Peck had no position to decline, nor was he willing to refuse.

The waiting room was well heated, and there was a bare locust tree outside the window.

He Zhi told him on the road just now that when he came to visit He Jin in the past, if it was spring, he would first kick a tree trunk outside, shaking down half of the pagoda tree flowers, and then grab a handful and hide them in a box, waiting for them to wait. I will ask the prison guard to give it to the beauty who loves flowers.

"What if it's autumn?" Xu Peck asked him.

Or winter, like this season.

"Autumn."

He Zhi squinted his phoenix eyes by the window, as if recalling some good past events, his eyes suddenly overflowed with a very precious softness.

"I have picked a lot of flowers and pressed them into the pages of the book since spring. When the leaves fall, I will give her a book."

The illiterate gives the illiterate, the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy.

"Drink of water?"

Yang Youting came back with two cups of steaming boiled water, and handed one cup to Xu Peck.

"Thank you uncle."

"You're welcome." Yang Youting bent his eyes, and when he smiled, there was a rare trace of innocence in his eyes.

Xu Ji'an had gently ridiculed him before, saying that Yang Lv was always in the courtroom, and it might be because of his eyes that were out of tune with everything around him that he coaxed the opponent's defense team into silence.

Then he was immediately retorted by Yang Youting kindly with such eyes and went back speechless for a long time.

What did he refute at that time?

Holding the cup, Xu Peck suddenly couldn't remember.

"Your uncle..."

Yang Youting, who avoided the topic all the way, cleared his throat, looked at the bare locust tree outside the window, and said softly, "He did something."

"..."

Xu Peck moved his fingertips slightly, but did not speak.

What's up.Murder and arson?

Not sure if he guessed what he was thinking, Yang Youting smiled and shook his head: "His bottom line is higher than many people."

But he did still do some wrong things.

"I came from a public defense background. In the first few years, I was regarded as Mr. Bao's type in people's eyes. Later, I took your uncle's part-time job, and I don't know how many people's trust was shattered."

His tone of speech was very relaxed, as if he was simply teasing, but Xu Peck still remembered the past when he almost lost his son for a demolition case involving gangsters.

I heard that Yang Youting finally fought hard in court and won a big victory, and he didn't ask for a penny.

After many years, he still hasn't changed.

Yang Youting was implying to him that Xu Ji'an had indeed done something wrong, but that was not his intention, it was just that he was in his position, and in order to protect some things, he had to sell something else.

But it implied that it wasn't up to him to say it.

Yang Youting is a gold medal lawyer in this city. During his years of practice, he has fought for the law. When standing in court, the law should be the only basis for him to judge whether he is guilty or not.

But now he is pleading for a guilty man.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy water Xu Ji'an has, which makes everyone around him lose their minds one after another.

"……That."

Another abnormal Xu Peck exhaled lightly, and asked carefully: "What will the result be?"

Yang Youting was silent for a while, then replied softly: "I will try my best to keep the sentence within ten years."

Ten years, ten years later, he was 27 years old, almost 28 years old.

Xu Peck nodded: "I understand, thank you."

When he opened the door and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar glass window, He Zhi was in a daze for a moment, as if he suddenly smelled the fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers in spring.

But when he saw the man sitting upright behind the window, the scent of flowers dissipated in an instant, replaced by ice and snow wrapped in wind and sand.

"You have 10 minutes." The prison guard reminded.

He Zhi waved his hand casually: "Five minutes is enough."

He has nothing to say to this person, so it's better to leave it to Yuanyuan, and let the children have less time to think about it.

Xu Ji'an lost some weight, and blue stubble appeared on his normally well-trimmed chin.But he was born very well, He Zhi was wrong when he came here, this orange waistcoat was just a little extra for Mr. Xu.

But he is still calm, as if nothing can defeat him.

But he has been beaten.

He Zhi sat down and picked up the microphone.

Across a glass and trembling radio waves, Xu Ji'an's tone was hideously calm: "Your mother is in prison, it is my suggestion to Xuan Bing."

He Zhi almost laughed out loud.

He leaned back lazily, and put his arms on the back of the chair like an uncle: "Is there any more?"

Xu Ji'an's face remained unchanged: "Your father died, I was the one... by accident."

He Zhi nodded: "What else?"

"..."

Xu Ji'an stopped talking.

He still had too little contact with He Zhi, and he never thought that he would get such a response in exchange for two fatal confessions.

He Zhi looked out the window and asked softly, "Is this what you and your wife were talking about just now?"

Xu Ji'an looked at him, his eyes were like an ancient well without waves.

"You scared them away, drove Yuanyuan away, and severed all ties with them, because you knew that this day would come to you."

Boy with a declarative tone.

Seems to be the first time in the past few days that he encountered such an interesting thing, Xu Ji'an raised his lips: "Good imagination."

He Zhi shrugged and didn't talk much.

Yes or no, everyone knows.

When Xu Ji'an was as old as He Zhi, the Xu family was almost on the verge of collapse.

He did a lot of things to get the Xu family back to that position, and even climbed to a higher level, and offended many people.

Xu Ji'an may indeed be a little crazy in his bones, even if he got married and had a wife and children, it still didn't make him give up the thrill of being in the limelight.

Now that he has ended up like this, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. After all, when that old ice came looking for him, Xu Ji'an also casually suggested him that way.

Although he didn't expect it at the time, while indirectly imprisoning his unknown "sister-in-law", he also wrote the ending for himself.

The assets of the Xu family have nothing to do with him anymore.

He has worked hard for so many years, but in the end he just made wedding clothes for others.Winner and loser, Xu Ji'an accepted his fate, but he made a deal with the person who succeeded him, not to let anyone disturb Xu's family.

Xu Si, Liang Yan, Xu Peck, or He Zhi can barely be considered.

This kid was in too much trouble, Xu Peck followed him, Xu Ji'an was always worried, so many years later, he set up a game for Xuan Bing again, it was a little payback for this man who killed the couple many years ago.

The people in that small villa in Pinghe District won't live for long.

Xu Ji'an is not like He Jin.He will not kill himself, and he will come out one day.

And Xu Peck's aura of "heir to the Xu family" will protect him until the day he no longer needs it.

He and He Zhi could protect each other.

"He's growing up."

Xu Ji'an's eyes also fell on the window where he would be able to see the light and shadow, and said a word without beginning or end.

Xu Peck is almost an adult, according to the age on his ID card, it will be on Children's Day next year, and according to his agreement with He Zhi, it will be the day before Christmas Eve.

"Wait, Xiaopei can leave the Xu family's household registration book naturally. Youting will help him."

Xu Ji'an is a bastard who never feels that he is wrong, but he also understands that the Xu family is not such a memorable place.

Xu Peck wanted to leave, but he would not stop him, just like he would not stop Liang Yan and Xu Si.

...and maybe Xu Wenyan.

"Mr. Xu." He Zhi called him suddenly.

Xu Ji'an came back to his senses, and found in a daze that the two people who had been talking for a long time seemed to have just looked at each other for the second time today.

"These are just outside things to me, and what I said just now was just what I thought when I heard them call on the road, so do you think Yuanyuan will not think of it?"

After all, Xu Ji'an threatened He Zhi and Xu Peck, but from the beginning to the end, he never did anything to hurt them.

A failed bad guy.

He Zhi looked at him and said calmly, "Please talk to him well."

5 minutes passed quickly, He Zhi wanted to put down the microphone after he finished speaking, but Xu Ji'an suddenly stopped him.

"You look a lot like your dad."

In terms of appearance, He Zhi is more like his mother, but his appearance of being casual and serious at the same time always makes people think of Xu Wenyan, his only brother, a relative who has depended on each other for more than ten years.

He Zhi snapped his fingers, smiled, and snapped the microphone back.

The effect of the soundproof windows is very good, the boy's lips are moving, but he can't tell whether he is making a sound or not.

But there should be no sound, otherwise the prison guard next to him would not be unresponsive.

Xu Ji'an watched him leave with his pockets in his pockets, recalling the word-for-word "you, ge, wang, ba, egg" just now, with his eyelids half-lidded, he thought with a smile, he even looks like saying this.

He obviously didn't have time to hug him a few times, but his temperament was carved out of a single mold. The blood relationship is really amazing.

Perhaps it was because of the rare relaxation that He Zhi brought him, Xu Ji'an was out of his mind for a while, and at a certain moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the newly seated boy opposite him from the corner of his eye.

Or he has been sitting for a while.

Xu Peck and Xu Ji'an looked at each other quietly for more than ten seconds, and finally lost the battle. They lowered their eyelids and picked up the microphone that He Zhi had dropped with disdain just now, and put it to his ear again.

The two listened to each other's breathing, and the atmosphere was more silent than expected.

Xu Ji'an thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry."

What are you sorry for? It seems that there have been many examples to prove it over the years, but he couldn't think of more words for a while.

Sorry, maybe bringing you home from the start was...

"Uncle." Xu Peck hoarsely interrupted what he wanted to say but didn't want to say.

Obviously he has not been away from home for a long time, but it seems that he has violated the title of a century.

Xu Ji'an was so dazed that he didn't even notice what he was talking about.

"you caught a cold?"

Again.

This nasty person.

In front of him, Xu Peck simply shed the tears that had been hidden all the way.

Except for the newborn Xu Peck himself, no one in this world has ever seen his biological parents. Whether he is more like a father or a mother can almost be included in the world's unsolved mysteries along with He Zhi's high school entrance examination results.

Unlike anyone in the Xu family, Xu Peck has a pair of big and bright black eyes, which are full of deep sea and starlight.

He is stronger than anyone imagined.

The hand holding the microphone trembled slightly, but Xu Ji'an didn't notice it.

He just looked at Xu Peck's bright smiling eyes seriously, and a slit was opened in his heart that was closed like a safe, trying to imprint this scene firmly in his eyes so that he would not be too lonely in the long night in the future. .

Xu Peck said: "Uncle, I, Xiao Si, Auntie, we will always be waiting for you."

When you go under the sun again, one day, they may be able to live together in peace like a pair of the most ordinary parents and juniors.

The winter wind in Yancheng is very strong. Even though the boy kicking the tree didn't even approach it because of the cold, the locust tree outside the window of the waiting room was still swaying endlessly in the howling wind.

Winter has just arrived, and spring is still in the distance temporarily invisible.

But she always comes.

In the bitter wind, Xu Peck was wearing the coat that He Zhi forced him to do. When he walked out of the gate of the detention center, he seemed to have just finished the Long March.

On the side of the road with open arms was the young man who would always be waiting for him at the same spot, and Xu Peck let out a soft breath, feeling the most unexpected tranquility in his heart since he left home.

"Is it cold in Yuanyuan?"

"It's not cold anymore."

"Then shall we go home?"

"okay."

Some people can warm all the seasons of the rest of their lives after meeting them. His coat and embrace are your whole spring.
