don't pull my short legs

Li Qi was terrified.

He has seen many people cry, some broke down and cried after being caught by the administration, some lost their loved ones and wept in despair, and even the one-night stand partner wailed and tried desperately to keep him.The more I see, the more numb I become.

But facing the tearful teenager in front of him, he was helpless.

Those witticisms that come easily on weekdays turned into a breath stuck in the throat at this time, and with the pain of breathing, it gradually flowed to the whole body with the blood.

In the end, he just silently put his hands on the young man's slender shoulders.

The distinct bones were pressed in the palm of the hand, and the heart trembled slightly.

He didn't answer this question in the end, but hesitated for a long time in the gift shop the next day, and bought a gadget at the recommendation of the reddish clerk.

The boy would like it, he thought.

"This is for you." After hesitating for a long time outside the ward, he still pushed open the white door.

——Many years later, Li Qi will still think of the scene at that time. In his life, he has seen too many beauties and countless amazing performances, but there has never been a scene as unforgettable as that morning.

The young man was leaning against the hospital bed with the quilt in his arms, his thin ear tips were a little transparent under the sunlight, and his originally calm eyes suddenly became rippling after he raised his hand.Like a spring that melts at the beginning of spring, a clear spring that is still slightly chilly is bubbling out.

He tentatively handed over the thing in his hand, and saw the young man's thin lips pursed awkwardly, bending an almost imperceptible arc in an unfamiliar, flustered and pleasantly surprised way.

"Thank you."

"Thank you." Li Qi took out his ID and showed it to the guard, "I made an appointment in advance."

It rained heavily yesterday. Although there was no rain today, the cold wind tried every means to sneak in through the gaps in the clothes, secretly trying to get into the bones.

The guard glanced at the ID and returned it to him blankly.

The electric door slid open slowly, I don't know if it was Li Qi's illusion, the armed/gunmen on both sides of the road seemed to stand straighter.

This unknown place is dedicated to detaining felons involving both humans and monsters. The former medical team leader and president have stayed in this gray building for a while.In the end, without exception, they disappeared into the world without a sound.

It stands to reason that visits are not allowed here, but Li Qi relied on the director's relationship and insisted on finding an opportunity to come in.

Before entering the building, he slightly raised his head and glanced, and there were people in full armor standing on the roof.If there is any movement, it will definitely be smashed into a puddle of flesh and blood by dense bullets.

The guard with a grim expression searched his whole body carefully, not even sparing his private parts. After making sure that he was not carrying any weapons, he waved his hand to signal the guard inside to take him in.

The corridor was short and ended in the same gray door.

Li Qi felt that he had been walking for centuries, and the hand on the door trembled slightly, and finally the guard opened the door for him.

"You're here?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shi Yuan on the other side of the transparent glass raised his head and smiled gently.

Wearing an extremely simple unlined garment, the wide sleeves made his wrists look extremely thin, and the pair of extremely heavy shackles looked even more terrifying at this moment, as if they could break the wrist bones.

Li Qiyi bit his lips to death in an instant.

"Ten minutes." The guard closed the door indifferently.

"How did you make it like this?" Shi Yuan's tone was very leisurely, as if he was still sitting in the office, talking about some unimportant trivial matters, "Didn't you go to the hospital for surgery to remove the scar?"

"Ayuan." Li Qi spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

That day, Shi Yuan's injuries would only be a hundred times heavier than his own, and even though he could barely survive with a recovery talent that was different from ordinary people, the process would not be pleasant.

He couldn't help casting his eyes on the opponent's body, sweeping over inch by inch, lingering on the pale skin.

"Sit." In the end, it was Shi Yuan who gently raised his hand to greet him, and the shackles made discordant sounds during his movements.

"A Yuan..." There were tens of thousands of words in my heart, but I couldn't say anything after sitting down. Li Qi murmured Shi Yuan's name, and put his hand on the transparent glass.

Shi Yuan smiled.

He imitated Li Qi's movements, slowly and carefully facing his hands through the glass.His hands are beautiful, with thin and straight fingers, and his writing has the charm of iron and silver hooks.

The glass was very cold, he asked softly, "Where are they?"

Li Qi understood this slightly abrupt question, and on the second day after the accident, several high-level executives suddenly fell ill.He was sent to the hospital and couldn't find out why, so he died completely on the same day.

Needless to say, it was the few that remained.

Obviously, Shi Yuan had already made arrangements before going to the ruins.Regardless of whether they can go back or not, those people must die.

"Is it...they?" After a moment of silence, it was Li Qi's turn to ask vaguely.

He couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing for Shi Yuan. After thinking about it, there was only that team led by Snow Wolf, independent of the administration, and responsible for Shi Yuan.

Later, he deliberately went to check the details of the team, including Snow Wolf, all the team members were cubs who survived that year without exception.

Hearing his question, Shi Yuan shook his head slightly: "Even you want to ask me this?"

After dragging on for so long, the human authorities have yet to take action.Shi Yuan knew exactly what was going on.The government will not rest until there is no trace of the team.

Li Qi frowned: "A Yuan!"

Seeing that his joke annoyed Li Qi, Shi Yuan pursed his lips slightly, his eyelashes fluttered twice: "What are you doing here?"

Li Qi's throat moved, and his palm pressed against the glass even more forcefully, his knuckles turned white: "I..."

He didn't know if there were any monitors in this visiting room. If there were, it would be a waste of success to speak out rashly.

Seeing Li Qi's troubled look, Shi Yuan knocked on the glass twice: "Tell me, how will they execute me?"

When he said this, he seemed to be back to the boy Li Qi saw at first.There was no fear in the words, and it was naturally calm.

Li Qi couldn't respond to these words.

"I think they will choose a rougher way." Shi Yuan's tone was light as if he was talking about the bright spring weather, "For example, cut off my head directly, after all, that would be..."

"Shut up!" Before he could utter the second half of the sentence, Li Qi interrupted him loudly.

With something cold under the tip of his tongue, Li Qi struggled to control himself from hitting the glass with his fist.The hand on the knee was tightly clenched together, and he managed to calm down until he pinched the blood: "No."

He won't allow that to happen.

He accidentally saw the half copper coin that had been specially treated at Zang Shiyi's place, and it was said that it was an amulet bestowed by the carp spirit.But no one's amulet will grow like this——

The carefully honed edges are exceptionally sharp and can cut through arteries with ease.

In the hands of a trained Authority Commissioner, it is an excellent weapon for killing people.

"I planted flowers in front of the house." Li Qi said every word, "There is a big pond behind the house, and there are swimming fish in it."

Of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to think that he could take Shi Yuan out with just half a copper coin, he thought it over, with Shi Yuan's physique, a few ordinary bullets couldn't hurt his life.

"There is an attic on the top floor, and there are skylights in the attic. When it is sunny, you can watch the starry sky." As for the remaining bullets, he will block them.

This is what he owes him.

Shi Yuan kept smiling, quietly listening to Li Qi's description of this warm house.He even laughed a few times when he heard something interesting.

"...So." Feeling that Shi Yuan could already understand what he meant, Li Qi felt the half copper coin, slightly exerting force on the tip of his tongue, "You..."

"No." Just as he was about to spit out the copper coins, Shi Yuan suddenly withdrew his hand from the glass.

The shackles made a crisp sound.

"Ah Yuan?" Li Qi looked at Shi Yuan blankly, reaching out his hand to grab the other's hand that had been put under the table.

Shi Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, and there was no trace of a smile on his lips, his expression was as cold as ice and snow: "I say no."

"But..." Li Qi patted the glass twice feebly, "I..."

He couldn't just watch Shi Yuan die.

"Children can't live this kind of life." However, Shi Yuan didn't waver at all, "They may not go to school, but they can't hide with their father for the rest of their lives."

what childLi Qi was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Shi Yuan slowed down his voice: "I met two children in the orphanage before, I liked them very much, and originally planned to take them home after the work was done."

"It doesn't work now." He lowered his head and smiled, then looked up at Li Qi, "So, can you take care of them for me?"

There was buzzing in his ears, Li Qi stared into Shi Yuan's eyes.Reason told him that he should refuse, but he couldn't move, his whole body was frozen in place.

Those eyes have been clear for 20 years, filled with a clear spring, clearly reflecting his appearance.

"Promise me." Shi Yuan said softly, "You will be a good father, just like me."

Li Qi didn't realize that he was crying until Shi Yuan put his hands together with his palm through the glass again.Uncontrollable tears flowed down the scar, and finally sank into the neck.

"It's time." The guard opened the door from Shi Yuan's side, said with a serious look, and then reached out to help Shi Yuan.

"Do you know?" Li Qi sat there blankly, staring at Shi Yuan's back, but unexpectedly the other party turned his head before stepping out the door.

"I've always thought that your taste in choosing men is terrible." Shi Yuan smiled narrowly, his expression was never vivid, "No one can compare to me."

----------

When winter was about to enter, Little Otter and Huahua were taken out with bewildered faces.

They were adopted by a very beautiful vixen with a very gentle personality.No matter how the little otter made a fuss at home, trampled many flowers transplanted in the greenhouse, or killed most of the fish in the pool in order to learn to swim, he never scolded him.

At first, the little otter was a little scared, but within a few days he called out to his father one by one.At night, she must sleep in the other party's bed, making Hua Hua blow her beard and stare with anger.

It's cold in winter, and even though the room is well heated, the little otter still can't get out of bed.It wasn't until the sun was three poles that I rubbed my eyes and got up in a daze to look for my father.

After yelling for a long time, Dad didn't yell. Instead, Hua Hua came down the stairs leading to the attic with a strange expression on his face.

Not understanding what happened, the little otter climbed up the stairs on all fours, and froze in place as soon as he climbed up.

The sun poured down from the skylight, and the father who always smiled was holding a small iron box, his eyes were red and he was shrinking in the corner of the attic, his body was shaking, and he was crying silently.

Never seen such a scene before, the little otter turned around several times in a panic, and finally rushed over to wipe his father's tears with his paws clumsily.

Looking at the small iron box, the little otter suddenly felt a little familiar.

It pondered for a while, and finally remembered where it had seen it.

This iron box was given by the uncle who used to visit them often, so he must keep it carefully.So when it moved out of the orphanage, it also brought the iron box and toys.But it has been kept in the attic and forgotten over time.

I don't understand why Dad is so sad. While touching Dad's face with its paws, it tries to tiptoe to see what is inside.

It was a faint blue glass ball, which was carefully placed on the cushion by the owner, and the tiny light flickered like a galaxy.
