if you are still there

The other party glanced at Ding Xu, with some disdain in his eyes, put the things in his hand, took a sip of tea and said, "Wait, the leaders are in a meeting now, and I will inform you when I get to work in the afternoon!"

Ding Xu looked at the watch on his wrist, it was getting closer, and he estimated that he would have to wait for another hour.He came out in a hurry at noon and didn't eat anything at all. His stomach was empty and uncomfortable at the moment. After thinking about it, he turned around and went to find a place to eat first.

Before I took two steps, I heard a cat meowing next to me. The sound was so small that a gust of wind could cover the sound.Ding Xu looked up, and there was a kitten standing in the large lawn next to it, the most common raccoon color, with big eyes, just looking at the dirty face, and it was meowing with its head raised.

When Ding Xu passed by the lawn, it was so frightened that its tail stood up, and it tried to bark louder, "Meow!"

Ding Xu didn't have the time or thought to take care of such a small thing, not to mention that he had to come back to pick up Xiao Liangwen in an hour, and he couldn't help frowning when he thought of that person, his face was a bit ugly.

There are no serious restaurants nearby, they are all roadside stalls, some are still next to the construction team, and the tables can be covered with a layer of dust when the wind blows.Ding Xu found a nearby noodle stall, sat down without changing his face, scraped off the burrs on his chopsticks, and began to eat.

There were only a few green vegetables in the clear soup noodles. The noodles were hard boiled and the taste was not very good. Ding Xu frowned slightly when he ate it, but he still ate it mouthful after mouthful. Very serious, not fast, but didn't waste a bit.

After eating and paying, he walked slowly back to the juvenile prison. The wind was a bit cold on the road, and Ding Xu couldn't help tightening his coat. In such weather, he felt a little cold, let alone the cat just now. .Looking at the little thing that is only a few days old, its eyes just opened, and it walks unsteadily, how can it live for a few days without the mother cat?

I don't know if the mother cat doesn't want it, or if she wandered away and couldn't find the nest.

Ding Xu came back and stood outside for a while, pinching his watch and waiting until it was halfway, then went up to inquire.

The same middle-aged man who was on duty in the morning, wrapped in a bloated uniform, glanced at Ding Xu, "Didn't I tell you, the leader is in a meeting, just wait!"

Ding Xu stood there waiting, and he didn't know whether it was because he was standing too straight or because his attire irritated the other party. The person at the reception registration window couldn't help but look at him twice, and clicked his tongue.

The middle-aged man looked at Ding Xu curling his lips, while drinking tea and spitting, he reprimanded him half superiorly and half showing off: "I said you guys are doing something wrong. Children will commit crimes when they are young. Give us more trouble." What a lot of trouble! Really, your parents are capable enough. If you don’t have the money to make a living, if you don’t want to raise it, you’re looking for Xiao Liangwen, right? I’ve only seen him come in three times in the first half of the year. , you think we are here to educate your children! Now you are fighting fiercely and entering the palace for the third time, I think sooner or later you will become a murderer who wants a gun..."

Ding Xu looked up at him and said, "Do you have any files here?"

The other party's heart skipped a beat when he was watched by a half-grown child, and his sharp tongue faltered for a moment, "Ah? How can there be any files in our post..."

Ding Xu put his hands in his pockets, took a deep breath to suppress his anger, "You didn't see why he came in, how did you know he was fighting fiercely outside? How did you know that he would be a murderer in the future? What's wrong with being unworthy of being a human being?"

The other party was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and his face was not very good for a while, he stretched out his hand and slammed the small glass window hard, and stopped saying a word to Ding Xu.

Ding Xu ignored him and stood outside waiting, but this time the time was much longer and he was not notified of the specific time.

There was a burst of laughter from the side, and the owner's lazy scolding and the excited barking of the dog could be vaguely heard, "...it's so big, don't kill it!"

Ding Xu moved his numb legs for two steps, and suddenly remembered something, and quickly walked over to the place where the dog was barking. If he remembered correctly, it was the lawn where the kitten was just now.

Sure enough, something happened to the kitty.

As soon as Ding Xu passed by, he saw the kitten fighting with a pet dog. The kitten was very small, and was thrown to the ground by the small pet dog several times like a mouse. The suits come, but they show their teeth and claws and refuse to retreat.

It has no place to retreat, the female cat is not by its side, and the lawn is behind it, and it can be thrown down and its throat cut off as soon as it turns around.

The owner of the pet dog was still chatting and eating melon seeds. He didn't take it seriously at all. Ding Xu suddenly rushed up in a burst of anger. Carefully pick up the kitten.

The owner of the pet dog was also stunned, a little unhappy, "Hey, what are you doing, how old is my little treasure, you just throw stones at him!"

Ding Xu's expression was not good, he turned around and let her see the curled up kitten in his hand, and said coldly: "Then have you seen it, how big do you think it is?!"

After all, the pet dog owner was still a little bit unreasonable, muttered "crazy" and walked away with the dog on a leash.

Ding Xu was trembling with anger, such a small kitten in the palm of his hand, if it weren't for the palm, his heart was so weak that he couldn't feel the beating, his whole body was cold and icy, as if he was about to die.Ding Xu took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped the kitten up, put it carefully in his pocket, and reached in to cover it.

He thought about the wild boy he was going to pick up later, and laughed at himself, thinking that raising one is just as good as raising two, and it's not bad to raise two.

This time, I didn’t stand for a long time when I went back, so I was allowed to go in. It’s already four or five o’clock in the afternoon.Xiao Liangwen's guarantee deposit was only 300 yuan. Ding Xu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to pay [-] yuan. The three thin sheets of paper were hot as if they were warm, and there was a person's fate on them.He laughed at himself, he really didn't expect Xiao Liangwen to be worth three hundred at this moment, he quickly handed over the money, and was soon led in to redeem him.

The police officer who led him was a little younger, but he was quite friendly. He asked as he walked, "Is this your brother? I really can't tell." He couldn't help but wondered, "That little classmate, Is there no adult in your family, and you will lead him?"

Ding Xu hummed vaguely.

The other party muttered, "This is too small," and then fell silent.

Ding Xu felt that something was wrong, he raised his foot to look at the file in the other party's hand, and after a glance, he froze there, it was clearly written in black and white: Xiao Liangwen, 14 years old.

The police officer was still curious, staring at Ding Xu and said, "Little classmate, how old are you?" Even his tone was much lighter, obviously treating him like a child.

Ding Xu pursed his lips and said nothing, his face showed nothing, but his ears were flushed, and he wanted to scold Xiao Liangwen ten thousand times in his heart!When he was with Xiao Liangwen back then, this guy said he was three years older than him, Xiao Liangwen... this bastard!

The policeman was very enthusiastic, took him to the place and asked him to wait outside, Ding Xu stepped on his feet and looked inside. As soon as there was some movement on his side, the people squatting inside became a little commotion.The manager knocked on the iron door and reprimanded: "Everyone be quiet!"

In fact, Ding Xu seldom comes into contact with such an environment, so he took a quick glance and soon saw the person he was looking for.Xiao Liangwen was still a half-grown boy at the moment, staring straight at him with his bristly hair on his head. Out of all the people in the dark, only that person had the sharpest eyes, and he was radiating a cold light like a wolf cub.But he only glanced at it, then lowered his head again, squatting in the corner with his pirated Nike backpack on his back, not saying a word.

Dark and thin, taciturn.

This was Ding Xu's first impression of him. Compared with Xiao Liangwen, who was strong and hard to mess with later, Ding Xu's current appearance made Ding Xu feel much more at ease.

The police officer opened the door and called his name: "Xiao Liangwen, someone protects you!"

The boy with the cropped head stood up without saying a word, and walked towards the door step by step. When he stood up, he realized that he was not the shortest among the group of half-sized boys. With a silent appearance, he doesn't look like someone who is easy to provoke, and he looks like he is ready to do something wrong at any time.

Ding Xu looked him over carefully, the clothes were a bit short, but the exposed ankles and half of the arm did not show any injuries, but the fluorescent yellow coat outside did not look like the style that Xiao Liangwen usually wears.Ding Xu frowned, and looked carefully. Sure enough, even the model was not right. It was obviously bigger than the other clothes on Xiao Liangwen, and the sleeves were all rolled up. This is someone else's clothes, right?

Xiao Liangwen hasn't said a word since he came out. He doesn't know Ding Xu, but no one wants to squat in there for ten days and a half months. It's not a good feeling.Ding Xu walked in front, and he secretly looked at Ding Xu. He was a little engrossed several times, and almost stepped on Ding Xu's shoes, causing the other party to look back at him.

Ding Xu looked at him, and he also stared straight at Ding Xu, until the other's beautiful eyebrows slowly furrowed, and then he felt that he had done something wrong and hurriedly lowered his head.

After leaving the juvenile prison, the neatly dressed and handsome boy stood still and began to look him up and down.Xiao Liangwen was a little strange, but he still stood there and let him look at him, and secretly glanced at the other party several times. He had never seen such a good-looking person, especially the other party guaranteed that he would come out, it was as good-looking as if he was shining .

"My name is Ding Xu."

When the person in front of him said this, Xiao Liangwen felt a little nervous when he heard his voice, his throat rolled twice, and he said, "Ding Xu."

Ding Xu was almost crushed by this man, of course he knew who he was, but this was the first time they met in this life, how could they repeat other people's names without introducing themselves?He put his hand in his pocket to cover the wet kitten, and patiently asked the person in front of him again, "What's your name?"

The tall, dark kid grinned, showing his white teeth, "My name is Xiao Liangwen."

The author has something to say:

Ding Xu: After you come out, you have to be obedient, you know!

Xiao Liangwen: Ding Xu...

Ding Xu: Don't be too scared, I will help you, don't worry!

Xiao Liangwen: You are so pretty...

Ding Xu: Fuck off! ! ! !
