Endless Wall

As night fell outside, Shen Luo stepped on the gas pedal and drove crazily on the road, and then was stopped by the police uncle at an intersection.

He rolled down the car window, took the ticket casually, and was about to close the car window when he heard the traffic policeman say, "Look carefully, it's okay to miss important things."

Shen Luo paused, and took another look at the traffic policeman, but only saw a vague facial outline under the dim street lights. At this time, the green light turned on, and Shen Luo stepped on the accelerator to drive forward.

When he turned his head and looked again, the traffic policeman had disappeared, so Shen Luo knew that something was wrong no matter how nervous he was.

He picked up the ticket, with a few lines of fresh and beautiful small characters written on it.

Mr. Shen:

Sorry for the invitation late at night, please come to Muqi Bakery to talk about it. (500 meters ahead)

The signature is Chen Cheng.

A girl's smiling face appeared in front of Shen Luo's eyes, with round gold-rimmed glasses on her small melon-shaped face, squinting a pair of crescent eyes, revealing a pair of small canine teeth and smiling sweetly.

This is what he saw on Liu Jinqing's mobile phone in a casual glance. Thinking of Liu Jinqing's smiling face when he looked at this photo, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

He still remembers asking that person with a forced smile, "Look at you staring at the screen and smiling like an idiot, is your girlfriend?"

Unexpectedly, the man smiled and shook his head, but when he breathed a sigh of relief, he said in a warm tone: "I am a childhood sweetheart."

He shook his head, amused in his heart: Is this the original partner who came to persuade him, the mistress, to leave?

Leaving aside whether Chen Cheng is the original partner or not, it's hard to say whether he is the mistress or not.Intense bitterness filled his heart, he closed his eyes and let out a breath, determined to meet Chen Cheng, who was childhood sweetheart with Liu Jin.

Shen Luo stopped the car, and as soon as he approached, he saw Chen Cheng sitting at the table in the big glass of the cake room and waving desperately to him.

He was slightly startled, and stepped into the store. The clerk just smiled and said nothing as if he had a tacit understanding, and he couldn't help it like he usually sees stars.

Over there, Chen Cheng saw him coming in, stood up and raised a smiley face, "Come on, come on! I ordered brownies for you! Come and try them! The chefs in this shop make delicious ones!"

Shen Luo felt three thick and long black lines appeared on his forehead, he greeted Chen Cheng, and sat down opposite her.

The girl opposite was in her youth, wearing a loose snow-white cotton knitwear, a light brown cashmere scarf around her neck, a beige coat on the back of the chair, and tight-fitting jeans that wrapped her slender waist. Beautiful legs, a pair of small brown leather shoes on the feet, fair skin and a warm smile, delicate and beautiful eyebrows, without makeup, there is a fresh, natural and clean masculinity.

The smile on the corner of Shen Luo's mouth was a bit bitter, such a girl was indeed the type that Liu Jinqing would like.

Chen Cheng watched Shen Luo take a seat, sat down himself, glanced at him, saw that he didn't pay attention to him, quickly dug a large piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

Then I finally swallowed it calmly, and then cleared my throat, "Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I found you in this way at such a late hour. But no one answered my calls..."

Shen Luo shook her head in a depressed mood, and said she was fine.But he was really shocked in his heart: It seems that the power behind Liu Jinqing is bigger than he imagined.Thinking of this, Shen Luo's mood became even more gloomy.

On the other hand, Chen Cheng acted like a normal person, with a heartless smile on his face, "Did Mr. Shen just come out from Zijin's place?"

Shen Luo suddenly raised her head, "How do you know?"

Chen Cheng pouted with disdain, "No wonder I'm in such a bad mood."

After hearing this explanation, Shen Luo couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't know what to say.

I heard Chen Cheng say: "Try the brownies I ordered for you~ Chocolate is a lucky dessert that can make people happy!"

After finishing speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "I really can't understand that dark chocolate is so bitter, what's so delicious."

After hearing this sentence, Shen Luo put down the spoon again, "How do you know I like dark chocolate?"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at him, and said confidently, "Zijin told me."

Shen Luo was stunned, and forcibly suppressed the sweetness in his heart, "Why did he tell you this?"

Chen Cheng frowned and thought for a while, "It seems that I asked him what kind of chocolate he likes the other day... No!"

She suddenly dug out a large piece of tiramisu and stuffed it into her mouth, looked at Shen Luo and said vaguely: "Wo came to see you because I have something to talk about!"

Shen Luo was almost amused by her appearance, he patiently waited for Chen Cheng to swallow the cake with difficulty, "It was Zijin who asked me to come to you, he told me a few days ago, it was just me I have been unable to spare time, so I postponed coming to see you until today."

Shen Luo frowned, what's the matter that Liu Jinqing couldn't tell him in person, did she have to ask someone else to tell it?He had a premonition that what he was about to understand was very important, so he collected his mood and listened carefully.

At this moment, Chen Cheng asked a question, "Do you know why Zijin came to you back then?"

Shen Luo shook his head, of course he didn't know, and he couldn't think of what value he had that deserved Liu Jinqing's trip to be a life assistant by his side.

Chen Cheng smiled and asked, "You know we all came from an orphanage, right?"

Shen Luo nodded. He also did some investigations. Based on the information Liu Jinqing gave him, it was not difficult to find out the orphanage he was in and the orphans living with him.

Chen Cheng looked at Shen Luo with a strange look in his eyes, "You have nothing to say?"

Shen Luo also became strange, when it comes to orphanages, why do they all look like this?Liu Jinqing was like this back then... Wait, Liu Jinqing said at the time that they met four years ago...

Chen Cheng sighed quietly, "You really don't remember! Things were very complicated at that time. Simply put, our orphanage can be said to be saved by you."

Shen Luo's brows stretched out, "It's that orphanage! After I donated money to there, it has been not going well, and the play is always inexplicably robbed..."

Speaking of that time, Chen Cheng smiled a bit more reluctantly toward the sun, "Yes, you were affected by this incident at that time. Do you still remember that there was a young man who ran for a long time to meet you at the airport? "

Shen Luo subconsciously clenched the table with both hands, and he muttered in a daze, "It was at that time... At that time... No wonder..." No wonder Liu Jinqing said that, he was so bitter that he couldn't speak.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder he came to his side and took care of his life so meticulously, no wonder he who has always been indifferent and ruthless indulged himself for so long, no wonder he said that our grievances are over...

Shen Luo only felt pain in his internal organs, his eyes were blood red, waves of dizziness hit his mind, and his breathing seemed to be blocked in his throat, suffocating with difficulty.

Looking at Shen Luo's appearance, Chen Cheng seemed to have been reminded of something sad, his expression also became gloomy, his eyes looked elsewhere, obviously he was already lost in the sky.

The cruel facts hit Shen Luo's already weak heart defense, he closed his eyes and bit his lower lip to bleed, and swallowed the bitter fruit of the past with a wry smile. reason.

"Is there any more?" The dry and hoarse voice rubbed the eardrums, recalling Chen Cheng's thoughts of running away.

"What?" She was obviously out of shape.

Shen Luo rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "Did he just ask you to tell me about this? If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Cheng hurriedly stopped Shen Luo who got up to leave, "I also have something to tell you..."

Shen Luo sat down and fiddled with the cake in front of her, but after eating it only left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Chen Cheng looked at Shen Luo carefully, and saw the pain and sorrow hidden under his forced smile, thinking of Liu Jinqing, he also felt uncomfortable.

"Well, Mr. Shen, you don't need to do this, just vent your sad words. You know, he is also protecting you. The world he lives in can't tolerate the slightest concern. One wrong step will leave you dead , and even hurt the people around you..."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and looked at Shen Luo, with deep tiredness and sadness in her eyes, "You also know about Sister Nan, right?"

Seeing Shen Luo nodding, she smiled wryly, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "People like us have nothing to worry about, and are most suitable for doing things that people who care about can't do... Back then, in order to keep the orphanage, Zijin and the others He did a lot of things…”

Having said that, Chen Cheng paused.

Shen Luo was about to ask a question when she heard a "pop" - the crisp sound of tears falling on the table.

He looked at the sunny and cheerful girl opposite him who had been smiling in surprise, and was surprised to find that she bit her lip forcefully, her body trembling slightly, and her clear eyes were full of hatred wiped clean by tears.

After a while, she stabilized her emotions, wiped away her tears and continued to say, "You are very strange, aren't you? It's strange why I have such a big reaction."

She also ignored Shen Luo, looked out of the window and said to herself, "You don't know what methods those people used to get the land of the orphanage! They are not human at all!"

Shen Luo stared blankly at Chen Cheng, and understood the young man who pieced together Liu Jinqing from her story.

"It was a long-planned conspiracy: first, Gu Huaijiang fought with the surrounding gangsters, killing one person and seriously injuring several others. He was arrested and sentenced due to the seriousness of the circumstances. Then the media publicized that Gu Huaijiang was born in an orphanage, which aroused social criticism. Questions about the education in the orphanage. Relevant personnel were sent to the hospital for investigation. The series of actions were straightforward and unambiguous, and by the time we found out that something was wrong, it was too late."

Chen Cheng's face showed all the compassion and indignation that a person can show, "They called away the director and called it an investigation, but secretly controlled the orphanage, beat the children inside, and asked them to identify themselves as being abused by the nurses and teachers. , Forged diaries for children to write, and those who disobeyed would have no food and be beaten."

Shen Luo stared straight at Chen Cheng, completely shocked, and he listened to her continue talking.

"The diaries written by the children based on their falsified things, as well as the scars on their bodies have become their so-called evidence, and the society is in an uproar."

"Because we were old and lived in the school dormitory, we were not locked up there, but when the accident happened, we all gathered together. We were sad and angry, and discussed how to clear up the grievances of the dean, teachers and aunts."

"But how could they not consider us? All the newspapers and news media did not meet with us, and even the clarification posts posted on the Internet were deleted one after another. At the same time, there were also cases of us older children colluding with teachers. news."

Chen Cheng raised his head and looked straight into Shen Luo's eyes, "If you haven't experienced it, you will never understand the despair we had at that time. Life was turned upside down in an instant, and the loved ones I missed were wronged in prison, so I love you on the tip of my heart His younger siblings were beaten and scolded arbitrarily, but he was still accused by thousands of people and ruined."

Chen Cheng's bright eyes were full of tears, and she forced herself to purse her lips to keep them from falling, showing a determination and strength that didn't match her age, "I wanted to die at that time. But I didn't die, Because he's back."

There was a strong emotion in her eyes, as if she wanted to break free from the confinement of her body and rush out to complete a pious pilgrimage.

"He came back and came back to tell us it's not a foregone conclusion."
