After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 8℃】

68

In the end, I took Xu Zhinian home.

69

The reason is not complicated.

He is penniless now, and there is no one around to trust him to. If I don't take him in, I'm afraid he will sleep on the street the day he is discharged from the hospital.

In a humanitarian spirit, I took him back to my residence.

70

I had someone check Xu Zhinian.

Both of his parents died since he was a child, and he was brought up by his grandmother. After graduating from high school, his grandmother passed away. After holding the funeral for his grandmother, he packed his things and went to other provinces to study in college.

Coincidentally, the university he was admitted to happened to be the alma mater of me, Yan Zhizhe, and Lin Shuqi.

After all, he is still my junior.

But Yan Zhizhe and I had both graduated when he entered school, and Lin Shuqi also went abroad to learn his piano.

So we didn't interact at all in college.

71

Xu Zhinian is the kind of student that the teacher loves and takes care of the most.

The family is poor, but he has an open-minded personality and excellent grades. While holding a scholarship, he works part-time to save tuition fees.

During the holidays, I also look for opportunities to work outside.

He and Yan Zhizhe met while working.

72

What happened after that was as I had guessed earlier.

Yan Zhizhe fell in love with him—or rather, he fell in love with his face, which was somewhat similar to Lin Shuqi.

After several months of fruitless pursuit, Yan Zhizhe probably lost his patience, and he took him directly to his villa to lock him up.

73

I counted the time on my fingers.

Xu Zhinian has been imprisoned for three full years.

74

I quite admire Xu Zhinian.

The average person has been tortured in the dark for three years, and it's not bad if they don't have a mental breakdown.

After waking up, Xu Zhinian didn't go crazy and make a scene, nor was he at a loss and didn't understand the truth. He still told me that he wanted to sue Yan Zhizhe.

His speech is clear and logical, and it can be seen that he is a strong and tenacious person.

The psychological trauma that the doctor said is only a small problem in comparison.

75

The information about Xu Zhinian is very complete, and a video is attached.

The video was recorded in some kind of campus singer competition, Xu Zhinian went up as a contestant and sang a song.

His appearance has not changed, but his temperament is very different from now.

Xu Zhinian on the stage is cheerful and generous. When looking at the camera, he seems to be smiling with his eyes. It can be seen that he is an extremely optimistic and sunny person.

He also sang a brisk song. It was the first time I heard it, but I could hear the youthful vigor in his singing.

When he finally stepped off the stage, he bowed to the audience, and the corners of his lips curled up in a broad smile.

76

Such Xu Zhinian and Lin Shuqi are two completely different people.

He and the current Xu Zhinian are two completely different people.

77

The current Xu Zhinian is wary of everyone, he doesn't trust others, he doesn't open his heart to others, he doesn't laugh like this.

During these three years, the Xu Zhinian of that year was wiped out bit by bit.

78

I don't think even Yan Zhizhe himself knows what kind of brilliant soul he destroyed.

79

I moved out from home a few years ago, and the house is big, so it's not a big deal to live with one more person.

After returning home, I asked Mrs. Wang, the nanny, to clean up the empty room next to the master bedroom, and arranged for Xu Zhinian to live in it.

Seeing that I brought someone back, Mrs. Wang was very pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Jiang finally brought someone home."

She wanted to hold Xu Zhinian's hand, but Xu Zhinian avoided it.

Afraid of their embarrassment, I introduced, "This is Mrs. Wang, the nanny, who is in charge of housekeeping and breakfast and dinner. I have a slight obsession with cleanliness, so the house must be cleaned. If you need any help, you can ask her."

When it was my turn to introduce Xu Zhinian, I couldn't think of how to explain the relationship between me and him, so I vaguely said that he was a friend.

"He's going to live here for a while. I used to eat lunch outside. After that, you have to help him prepare an extra meal. Just ask me for the extra money for grocery shopping."

Thinking of Xu Zhinian's mental state, I went to see Mrs. Wang again in private and asked her to take care of her at home.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly agreed.

80

Then I introduced the driver Uncle Yang to Xu Zhinian.

I asked Xu Zhinian: "Do you have a driver's license?"

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "Not yet."

I said, "Uncle Yang usually picks me up to and from get off work. If you want to go out at other times, you can ask him to take you there. If he is not there, you have to take a taxi yourself if you want to go out."

After finishing speaking, I was afraid that he would not find his way back when he went out alone, so I copied down the address and gave it to him.

"This is my home address. If you don't remember it, take this piece of paper with you, lest you don't know how to get back."

Xu Zhinian took the note in a daze, his eyes flashed with surprise: "Can I go out?"

I gave him a strange look: "No one is stopping you, how can I not let you go out?"

He didn't know what he was thinking, and he held the note tightly. After he came back to his senses, he smoothed out the crumpled place, and then carefully folded the note a few times, and kept it in his pocket .

I am a little speechless, how to save it is more precious than a love letter.

81

Xu Zhinian did not bring a change of clothes when he was discharged from the hospital.

In other words, he had no change of clothes at all.

When I rescued him, the clothes he was wearing were blackened and scorched by the smoke, and he could no longer wear them.

And the previous clothes were also burnt clean in that fire.

My family has home clothes for guests, but I need to buy a few more sets of other clothes.

82

I took him to the mall and picked out a few pieces.

I said, "It's a good set. It's the latest in season. It fits you well."

Xu Zhinian looked at it and said, "Not good."

I changed one: "I liked this shirt last time I came here, but my shoulders are too wide, so it doesn't fit well, you can wear it just fine."

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "Not good."

Me: "What about this one?"

Xu Zhinian: "Not good."

Me: "That one?"

Xu Zhinian: "Not good."

I:"……"

83

I suspect that Xu Zhinian is deliberately against me.

84

I think I have a good eye and an online aesthetic. Of the few clothes I picked, which one is not eye-catching on him.

But when it came out of his mouth, there was only the word "not good".

I couldn't help being a little angry, and asked him with a cold face: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhinian glanced at me and said in a low voice, "The price is not good."

I:"?"

Xu Zhinian added: "I can't afford it."

85

Indeed, in the shops I usually go to, even the most ordinary scarf is worth a month's salary of many people.

With Xu Zhinian's living expenses, he definitely couldn't afford it.

I was a little funny and said, "Don't worry, you have money."

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "I have no money."

Me: "You have."

Xu Zhinian insisted: "I haven't."

I:"……"

... The two of us are talking about cross talk.

I said, "Someone will pay for you."

Xu Zhinian said seriously: "I know you will pay for me, but I will definitely pay you back when I have money in the future. You have helped me a lot, and I can't just accept your kindness for no reason. I can't afford these clothes now. , I have money in the future, but I can't afford to wear it, so let's go and look elsewhere."

I didn't expect him to say such a sentence. After a pause for a few seconds, I said, "Who said that I will pay for you."

Xu Zhinian was taken aback: "What?"

I said, "Yan Zhizhe will pay for it for you."

Xu Zhinian's expression suddenly turned cold.

86

"It's none of his business." Xu Zhinian said coldly, "Yes, I forgot that you and him are friends, so now you help him keep an eye on me? When he comes back, throw me to him?"

He bit his lip and glared at me: "I'm sorry you thought you were a good person."

I said, "...where are you thinking?"

Xu Zhinian said: "Isn't it?"

"Of course not." I leaned on the sofa and said slowly, "This money is what Yan Zhizhe owes you."

Xu Zhinian didn't know, so he asked, "What?"

I said, "Although you can't sue him, you can make him make up."

Xu Zhinian parroted his tongue: "Compensation?"

"Yes." I said, "In addition to the medical expenses, doesn't he need compensation for your mental damage for the past three years, your interrupted studies, and your interrupted life?"

Xu Zhinian: "...It sounds reasonable."

I said: "So these are just the financial compensation he should pay, and you don't need to have a psychological burden to spend it."

"..." Xu Zhinian lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

I was afraid that he was still hesitating, so I said, "The damage he has done to you is irreparable, and what he owes you cannot be measured by money alone."

After a while, Xu Zhinian raised his head and said to the waiter standing beside him, "Take out the most expensive clothes here."

I was immediately amazed.

87

I sighed for a few seconds, followed, and helped him pick out a few more sets of clothes.

I'm not paying anyway.

88

We searched the mall for a whole circle, but we bought everything we liked. In the end, there were too many bags for two people to hold with four hands, so we asked the waiter in the mall to deliver them to the car.

Enough for the whole season.

When he went out, Xu Zhinian's whole body was completely renewed, and he became much more energetic.

He was already good-looking, but after dressing up, people couldn't take their eyes off him. Along the way, many people secretly looked at him beside him.

It's just too thin, I stretched out my hand and gestured, and felt that I could hug his waist with one hand.

Thinner than girls.

Let Mrs. Wang make up for him.

89

It was my card that was swiped at checkout.

Xu Zhinian watched from the side, and asked me again: "You didn't lie to me, did you, you really didn't pay for me?"

I glanced at him and asked, "Am I a fool?"

Xu Zhinian didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

I asked again, "Who are you to me?"

Xu Zhinian: "Ah..."

Me: "Why should I spend so much money on you?"

Xu Zhinian couldn't answer.

I said: "Don't worry, I will let Yan Zhizhe pay for the money you spend on weekdays."

Xu Zhinian responded, "Oh."

I went on to say, "So you can spend what you want, without thinking about saving money."

Xu Zhinian nodded obediently: "Okay."

90

After walking a few more steps, he suddenly reached out and tugged at my sleeve.

I turned my head and looked at him inexplicably.

He smiled at me and said, "Thank you."

91

The smile at that moment reminded me of the way he smiled on the stage in the video.

It's so pretty too.

The author has something to say: Gong: I don’t spend my own money to buy things for my wife. There are such wonderful things in the world!
