Prey [Zhu Chaoyang x Ye Chimin]

"My mother doesn't like me eating too much sweets." Zhu Chaoyang watched the family get on the Ferris wheel, with a slight smile on his face, "My father brought me here when I was young, and then..." He He picked up the spoon, as if he was very interested in the rough patterns on it, "Later he brought me here again, the last time."

"Do you miss him?" Ye Jun stared at the young man in front of him with piercing eyes, but what he was thinking about was the DNA report.

The body of the girl named Pupu was found in the suburbs, and the DNA matched the skin tissue in Zhu Jingjing's mouth completely.

Zhu Chaoyang was silent for a long time, "I hate him."

Tears hung on his eyelashes, shining under the flickering neon lights, and his voice was deep and weak, showing the Son of Man's grief.

"I hate why he keeps leaving me."

"I hate myself too."

"I've been wondering about one thing," Ye Jun cleared his throat, "it was seven years ago."

Zhu Chaoyang calmly met his gaze.

"Seven years ago, you..." "Chaoyang!" Ye Jun was interrupted by an excited female voice. It was Zhu Chaoyang's junior high school teacher. She was holding Ye Chimin and another girl with her arms, He couldn't tell them how to say hello, "Father Xiao Min, you are here too! What a coincidence!"

The homeroom teacher was eloquently expressing his excitement. The children are promising, and they know to come back to visit her. Her home is nearby, and she occasionally comes to dance square dance to relieve the cervical spine.

The evening was spent in heated one-sided conversations.

Before parting, Zhu Chaoyang comforted Ye Chimin who was beside the teacher with his eyes, then walked to Ye Jun and said softly, "Uncle, I know what you want to say today. You are an elder, and I will accept whatever decision you make."

"Really?" Ye Jun looked suspicious.

"However, I still hope you will give me a chance."

I want to be a brand new person, that timid voice echoed in Ye Jun's mind many years ago.

"Do you have time tomorrow?" He heard himself asking, his voice much calmer. This young man has received a full scholarship to the Ivy League University, and has a bright future. He is about to leave soon, and he will never see him again.

Zhu Chaoyang showed a rare childish smile, "I'm going to swim tomorrow and cross the Pearl River."

Every year on this day, he honors his father in this way.

Ye Jun also likes swimming, the weather looks good tomorrow, he thought.

Ye Chimin was sitting by the river, fiddling with the handle of the sun umbrella, the weather forecast was sunny today, but it suddenly turned cloudy, I hope it won’t rain, the song in the earphones stopped at some point, she pressed the play button, it wasn’t I want to listen to music, just looking for something to do.

The dark cloud above the head was only a small group at first, and gradually became a piece, silently encroaching on every corner of the sky,

He only needs half an hour at a time, so it doesn't matter if it rains.

I remember on this day last year, I quietly came to surprise him. When he saw himself sitting on the shore, the light flashed in his eyes. For that small beam of light, she was willing to give everything she had.

The drizzle fell on the water, pointing out countless small circles like invisible ballet dancers, and the circles became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more.

"Girls can't give up on themselves, dad doesn't agree with your suspension of school! He doesn't agree with you to wash clothes and cook for him!"

"Have you worked hard for more than ten years just to be a housewife?"

A sudden gust of wind knocked down the sun umbrella and pushed the plastic chairs far away. The staff hurriedly cleaned up. Ye Chimin sat there expressionless, watching the people in orange overalls busy back and forth.

"Then I have worked hard for more than ten years, is it to give you bragging capital?"

The father and daughter confronted each other, their slaps hung in the air for a long time, but they still did not fall.At that time, she thought, let's fight, after the fight, I don't owe you anything.

"I won't let you go with him, never!"

"Didn't you always praise him as a good boy who works hard?"

"I mean study! What I want you to learn from him is to study, not to have sex with him!" Ye Jun slammed his fist on the wall with a heartbroken face.

"Single-parent families are always prejudiced," when Zhu Chaoyang said this, the sadness in his eyes made people feel distressed.

"Xiao Min, I don't have to pretend to be strong in front of you."

"very nice."

Someone around her screamed, and Ye Chimin came back to her senses, the parasol above her head slanted down against the wind, hitting the table in front of her, and fell to the ground together with the water glass and mobile phone.

The rain is getting heavier.

A black thing on the river moved towards the bank at a very slow speed. Ye Chimin stood up and walked over. At first, he took small steps and then began to trot when he reached a flat place.

"Chaoyang! Chaoyang!" She happily called her sweetheart's name and waved to him.

The wind blew her bangs, and the rain wet her clothes, but she couldn't feel it.

At this time, the smile on her face suddenly froze. She saw that Zhu Chaoyang was carrying a person on his back, and he was struggling to climb up from the water with that person on his back. This action exhausted his strength, and the lower half of his face It was blood, he wiped his nose, and the blood gushed out again.He raised his head and looked at Ye Chimin, his eyes were cloudy and numb.

Ye Chimin saw the man's face clearly, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled violently.

Everything in front of him was shaking, he couldn't hold it anymore, and fell down on the beach weakly, he heard Ye Chimin crying heartbreakingly, "Dad, I'm sorry," he muttered to himself, and then lost consciousness.

"Pupu was there when Zhu Jingjing fell from the building."

"A student, he said, saw you go up to the fifth floor."

"He's cheating on you."

Zhu Chaoyang suddenly turned his head and saw Zhang Dongsheng sitting on the right, still smiling as he remembered.

"He has no evidence," Zhang Dongsheng said with firm eyes. "If he had, you wouldn't meet here. He just wants you to break up with his daughter. He just wants to take away what you care about most."

"Uncle, I really forgot about that day."

Zhu Chaoyang's eyes were calm with melancholy, and there was a hint of guilt that was imperceptible, a guilty conscience that was just right, and a guilty conscience that an old criminal policeman could easily catch.

Ye Jun's expression remained unchanged, "It's understandable, it's not a pleasant thing after all," he changed the subject, "I heard that your scholarship has been awarded, congratulations, don't make any mistakes at this time, it will affect your future for the rest of your life .”

"Yes." Zhu Chaoyang agreed gently.

"I talked to Xiao Min yesterday. She still wants to continue studying. It is unwise to suspend school at this age."

Zhu Chaoyang lowered his head, "I don't want my child to lose his father."

Ye Jun heard that he was softening, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He patted the young man on the shoulder lovingly, and said to him with the attitude of an elder, what an elder should say. Personal relationship, the two of them are not suitable, breaking up is good for everyone.

After listening to his words calmly, Zhu Chaoyang nodded, "I understand, thank you uncle, I won't pester her again in the future."

He stood up and took off his white shirt, revealing his muscular chest.

"Uncle, come and swim together for a while." Zhu Chaoyang invited him.

It was hot and stuffy and his body was sticky. Ye Jun really wanted to go down for a quick swim, but he didn't bring his swimming trunks.

Zhu Chaoyang saw what he was thinking, and opened the backpack, "I brought an extra set of equipment for my dad." His slender, white fingers ran across the expensive swimming goggles, "I bring an extra set of equipment for my dad every year." It’s like my dad is here with me.”

The cramping and drowning was completely accidental. Ye Jun weighed 180 catties. Zhu Chaoyang dragged him back to the shore with all his strength. He lay in the hospital for two days. Ye Chimin, who was pregnant, was full of sorrow and joy, and Director Ma made soup and sent it to the hospital every day.

No one knew what Zhu Chaoyang did underwater. It was actually not difficult. He had seen similar experiments. As long as the strength was just right, the key was for the opponent to relax and not be vigilant. This was also easy.

After the last class in the Children’s Palace, he bid farewell to the teachers, handed back the keys and accepted a small gift, a Japanese-made thermos, and then walked down the stairs at a relaxed pace. He really wanted to look up to the fifth floor At a glance, after all, it still hasn't been done.

The sky was clear after the rainstorm, and the sun shone on the white shirt, making him look like a young god. Parents and children greeted him with a smile that lingered on his face for a long time. A comb on the left A girl with bangs bouncing into the building, wearing a yellow shirt and jeans, with a bear keychain dangling from her backpack.

A big boy in an iron-gray vest passed him by. The boy was muscular, and a taekwondo belt was exposed from his backpack.

A black crown car stopped at the door, and the little girl in a white princess dress jumped and ran out of the car, holding her mother's hand and yelling that the dance class was about to start, and her father followed behind with a bag and a smile.

The sun bathes the whole world, and the whole world is like a fairy tale.

The phone rang, and it was Zhou Chunhong.

"How's it going?" Zhu Chaoyang opened the car door and got in. At the same time, he greeted a parent with a smile. arrive."

He didn't start the car immediately, but closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief slowly.

"I could write fairy tales myself," he said.

"You are much better than me." A familiar voice sounded in my ear.

Zhu Chaoyang suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Zhang Dongsheng smiling at him in the passenger seat.

He nodded, started the car, and the white crown drove towards the bright front.
