paddock

Yuan Ning and Song Xingchen talked to each other and followed Laian to the outside of the school.Ryan was of mixed race, and he was very tall. When he stood beside Yuan Ning, he could almost cover Yuan Ning in his long and wide coat.

Yuan Ning felt a little uneasy.He knew that Zhang Xiuyan told him those things that day in order to keep him away from Ryan.But he really wanted to know the progress of the case, and also wanted to know why Laian was so strict with Zhang Xiu in the first place.He followed Ryan carefully.

Laian glanced at Yuan Ning, with that charming smile still on his face: "Don't be so guarded against me. When your father decided to adopt you, he asked my opinion. At that time, I thought your fourth brother might not be able to find you. When I came back, I told them that this could relieve my cousin’s condition.”

Yuan Ning's heart skipped a beat.

"Actually, that's not the case." Laian raised his hand and raised Yuan Ning's chin, looking at Yuan Ning's increasingly dissimilar face from Zhang's family. Neat, one wrong eye may be wrong. That's really interesting."

Yuan Ning frowned.What's interesting?

"I can't find my biological child, but an adopted child dangles in front of my eyes all the time." Ryan said, "—this child still looks so much like his biological child. Isn't it interesting? The backlog of gloom, Pain and unwillingness will grow with time, and finally explode completely."

Yuan Ning was stunned.

Ryan said: "I didn't expect you to bring such a big change." He stared straight at Yuan Ning like a little monster, "Even Xiu Yan has changed a lot—I thought he would break out too .”

Before Yuan Ning recovered from what Ryan said, Ryan had already dragged him into a small restaurant.

The location of this small restaurant is not very good, but the business is good.It was the end of autumn, the weather was cold outside, but it was warm inside.The kitchen is located in the back half of the restaurant, separated by glass, and you can see the hot white gas rising from the pot.The master cook is busy behind the glass, he makes the knife smoothly, and the sound of tuk-tuk-tuk when the blade touches the cutting board can be faintly heard, fast and crisp, which shows how good his knife skills are.

"I haven't been back for many years," Ryan said with emotion, "This restaurant is still open, it's really nostalgic."

Yuan Ning opened and closed his mouth, and after a long time, he finally managed to ask a question: "Is the food here delicious?" How could it make Lean think about it for so long?

Ryan said: "The taste is not bad. The best thing about this store is that every shredded potato and chopped green onion they make is the same size, without any deviation. The soy sauce and seasoning are used evenly, and there is no leakage at all. In case of uneven color."

Yuan Ning: "........."

Ryan praised sincerely: "Over the years, this store is the most perfect in my memory."

This is probably because the chef who cooks is also like him, a bit inexplicably obsessive-compulsive, right?Yuan Ning secretly thought, ordered dishes with Lai An, and ate in silence.

Ryan didn't eat much, and kept looking at Yuan Ning.When Yuan Ning finished eating, he also put down his chopsticks and said, "You are exactly the same as Xiu Yan when you eat." No matter how much you want to know, no matter how much you want to ask, you can take it easy and be serious Really finish the meal first.

This serious look no matter what he does, is exactly the same as Zhang Xiuyan's.

Thinking of seeing Yuan Ning entering Zhang Xiuyan's room with a pillow in his arms that night, Laian felt a little excited.

People's hearts are always the things that interest him the most—whether they are relatives or strangers, they are all interesting experimental subjects in his eyes, and he is keen to let the desire or ugliness deep in their hearts erupt completely.

Ryan settled the bill and led Yuan Ning out of the small restaurant.Walking out of the alley and onto the street, the chilly wind poured into Yuan Ning's neck.Yuan Ning trembled, turned to look at Ryan, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Uncle Biao, has the case been judged?"

"Of course the verdict." Ryan's face was a little more complacent, "The two people involved in your school, one was sentenced to life, and the other was sentenced to death."

Yuan Ning was taken aback.He and the female police officer have learned that even if the most serious crime is imposed, it is impossible to be sentenced to life imprisonment or death!Yuan Ning didn't quite believe it: "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?" Leian turned to look at Yuan Ning, his dark eyes were full of complacency, "The amount of money they are greedy for is quite a lot. People outside don't want to be implicated, and most of them will secretly hand over money to their family members." news, let them go in and sit there for a few years, and when the limelight passes, someone will help them find a way to 'reduce their sentence'."

Yuan Ning listened ignorantly.

"That's a bunch of delicious big fish." Ryan laughed, "It would be even more interesting if we caught them all. But there are quite a few people like this, and no one will touch them if there is no trouble, so We can only use these people to intensify the crimes of the two people who went in—not to mention that one of them is trying to hire a lawyer with a criminal record to exonerate himself, which is extremely bad."

Yuan Ning frowned, trying hard to digest Laian's words.That is to say, in the end, not only Director Huang and Deputy Director Jia were convicted of crimes, but also added a few more sums to them and directly sentenced them to life imprisonment and death penalty?

Yuan Ning still felt unbelievable: "How did this happen?"

"It's impossible for you to understand." Ryan looked at Yuan Ning, looking at that childish face with interest, "You are only ten years old, what do you care about so much? Isn't a child of your age supposed to have a day?" Do you want to play merrily till night?"

Yuan Ning said sullenly: "But I have met someone who always wants to see the result."

"The result is that evil will be rewarded with evil," Ryan stopped, "Why? Are you not satisfied with this?"

"I'm not dissatisfied." Yuan Ning looked at Ryan seriously, "You are really amazing!"

"That's why your elder brother came to me." Ryan's smile was full of confidence and calmness.He never promotes family or friendship with anyone, but there will never be fewer people who come to him.They were afraid of his methods and were wary of every word he said, but they had to borrow his methods and abilities.Ryan said slowly, "If it wasn't for that guy named Jasvin who stepped on my bottom line, I would never have taken such a boring case."

"What's your bottom line?"

"I hate pedophiles the most." Ryan lifted Yuan Ning's chin with his index finger, rubbed his thumb gently on Yuan Ning's soft skin, then bent down to Yuan Ning's cheek, and gently smelled the freshness on Yuan Ning's body. Nice breath, "Doing that kind of thing to cute children is simply unforgivable. The difference between humans and beasts is that humans can control themselves, and beasts cannot-I am a human being and look down on beasts, so I will send them all to prison. "

Yuan Ning was startled, and took a few steps back.His heart was pounding, and he always felt that Ryan's words had hidden secrets and ulterior motives.

Ryan withdrew his hand and stood up straight.He said, "Did you know that when a person is guilty, the body can speak?"

Yuan Ning shook his head.

"Your eyes, your skin, your upper body and lower body -- your body, your ears and your mouth, every part of you speaks out what's on your mind," Ryan said.

The autumn wind blows away the last remaining leaves on the branches.The leaf twirled in the air, fluttered down, and landed at Yuan Ning's feet.

His shoes are exactly the same as those of his elder brother, and they bought the socks together.

Their lives intertwined, as if eager to be in sync with each other with every breath.This kind of longing was buried deep in his heart, and only quietly surfaced in the dead of night.

No one wants to delve into what this represents, and no one dares to touch the emotional gate that is about to explode.

That day in that quiet alley, the eldest brother put his arm around him and covered his eyes with the other, preventing him from seeing the picture he had seen clearly.The unknown scene in the deep alley took root and sprouted in his heart.He wanted to pull it out again and again, and tried to distance himself again and again, but he couldn't do it.

Yuan Ning raised his head, and met Laian's piercing eyes.

Lai'an stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Ning's head, his eyes flickered with interest, "You like to be strict, don't you?"

"Of course I like it." Yuan Ning said frankly, "I like Big Brother the most, and I really hope that I can be with Big Brother forever!"

Laian looked at Yuan Ning's red face and red ears, but he couldn't see Yuan Ning's guilt at all.Although Yuan Ning admitted it, it sounded more like a child's dependence on his elder brother—this is a shy, obedient, and well-behaved child.Could it be that he is overthinking?Ryan calculated Yuan Ning's age, and found that Yuan Ning hadn't reached puberty, probably never had an erection.Children of this age probably only have the naive idea of ​​"wanting to be with so-and-so forever", right?

Ryan said: "It seems that I was thinking too much." He saw a shopping mall in front of him, turned to Yuan Ning and said, "Your elder brother seems to be coming soon, and I will definitely not return to China when the time comes. I will buy it in advance for my birthday now." A gift for your brother, hand it over to him when you get home for the weekend - no problem?"

Yuan Ning nodded obediently.

Ryan said: "In order to surprise your elder brother, you cannot see the present in advance." He went to the front and bought a cup of hot drink and stuffed it in Yuan Ning's hand, and asked Yuan Ning to sit on the bench and wait for him.

Yuan Ning sat down holding a hot drink and watched Laian enter the mall.It wasn't until Ryan's figure disappeared that he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling cold sweat running down his back.Even if he only saw two sides of Laian, Yuan Ning could see what kind of person Laian really was.

Ryan is one of those people who gets extra excited, extra interested when he sees other people struggling, and he makes a living — and enjoys it — with an almost fanatical interest in playing with people’s hearts and exploiting their humanity.This is also the reason why Ryan treated Zhang Xiuyan like that in the first place. It is very interesting for Ryan to make someone like Zhang Xiuyan lose his composure and composure.

Yuan Ning didn't want Laian to discover the secret feelings in his heart.

That feeling that should never be spoken, that should be eradicated early.

Yuan Ning drank most of a cup of hot drink, and Ryan also came out of the mall.Ryan was indeed holding a gift in his hand, wrapped in blue and white striped wrapping paper, and tied with a beautiful bow.

Ryan smiled and handed the gift to Yuan Ning: "I'll go directly to the airport from here, please help me bring the gift to your elder brother." He rubbed Yuan Ning's head, "I don't think you would open it to peek at it." right?"

Yuan Ning said: "Of course not!" Evening repairs were about to start, Yuan Ning said goodbye to Ryan at the intersection, and ran back to school.

Laian watched Yuan Ning's back as he hurried away, with a faint smile on his face.

Oh, I was almost cheated by a child.
