him and his duo

Many years later, someone asked Xu Ke what day he remembered most clearly.He almost didn't need to think much, and he would inevitably think of this day in his mind.

The specific date, the weather at that time, the flow of people around, and a series of specific details are no longer available. He just remembers the sound of police sirens from far and near that night, coming from all directions like a tide, and arresting him since he was a child. A nightmare to avoid.

What he remembered more clearly was the young man who stood in front of him and shielded him from the noise of the crowd.

The night wind blew over from the alley like thorns wrapped in it. Gu Shen was only wearing a school uniform and a black T-shirt inside.He stood facing him in the center of the alley as if he was not afraid of the cold, Xu Ke knew that it was protecting him from the wind.

Taking a closer look, Gu Shen is actually not much stronger than him, but he always plays the role of protector subconsciously.The cut in his hand was neither deep nor shallow, but after simple hemostasis, there were still traces of blood dripping.

The alley was a bit tortuous, and the police lights were still ringing, but it would probably take a while for the police to find them.Xu Wuqiang on the ground couldn't get up after being kicked down by Gu Shen, probably because of a drug addiction attack. The corpse lying on the ground twitched like a centipede, but it seemed that he would not die for a while.

"You go to the hospital to treat the wound first." Xu Ke looked at the scratch on the palm of Gu Shen's right hand, frowning tightly, "When the police come over, I think you have to go to the police station to take a statement. You don't have to. Don't waste time here with me, I will go directly to the hospital to find you when the time comes. "

With his back turned to him, Gu Shen silently looked at the dark alley ahead without making a sound.

Xu Ke sighed quietly in his heart, and used all his patience to try to present the facts and reason with Gu Shen, "If you don't treat the injury on your hand until it leaves a scar, I'll call a car for you to go to the hospital."

Xu Ke took out his mobile phone as a gesture, and just clicked on the taxi app to find that this method doesn't work, the car can't enter the alley, and as long as the young master doesn't move, he can't pack this man into the car.

The knife mark on Gu Shen's right hand continued from the tip of the index finger to the wrist. After a long time, the blood on it began to oxidize and turned dark red, which looked a bit scary.Xu Ke looked at his tense side face, and felt a little overwhelmed, "Gu Shen, can you listen to me?"

A certain person with a cold face pretending to be a stone sculpture now has a coffin face, don't be obedient, his mouth is tightly pursed, and he can't even breathe.

Although Xu Ke's trembling words before made Young Master Gu's heart soften a lot, but he reacted quickly this time.

If you don't give someone a little color, look at him, he really thinks that his boyfriend has no temper. No matter if he continues like this, he probably won't give him a breath before going out with a knife and fighting people desperately.Gu Shen made up his mind to not let this matter pass so easily this time, so he started a unilateral cold war mode.

The police didn't know at which corner they met Lin Mo, but after a few minutes, they rushed over together.

As soon as Gu Shen saw Lin Mo, his expression became even worse. He even wanted to kick Xu Wuqiang again.

The police who rushed over saw the person wriggling on the ground, and the two high school students standing in front of him in school uniforms. They didn't know who to arrest.Looking at the scene, he was a little puzzled, "Who reported the case?"

"I applied," said the student with a slightly cold face.

The policeman frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that serious violence took place here? What's going on here?"

This time, before anyone could speak, the policeman stared at the person on the ground and suddenly said, "Who is this person? Is he addicted to drugs?"

Taking drugs is not a trivial matter. The police immediately asked two small policemen to carry Xu Wuqiang out, "Be careful, take him to the hospital first, and bring him back for interrogation when he wakes up."

After the little policeman took Xu Wuqiang away, the police officer who started the question turned his head and looked at the three high school students present, "All of you go to the police station with me first, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions Find out about the situation."

"Wait a minute, can you take the classmate next to me to the hospital first? He hurt his hand." Xu Ke pursed his lips tightly, and what he said didn't look like a discussion, and there was a hint of guilt and anxiety mixed in it.

A certain classmate who had been pretending to be dead finally made a sound at this time, without hesitation, he gave Xu Wuqiang who had been sent away a slash, "The drug addict just did it."

"And I don't think the wound is shallow," Gu Shen was still adding more details, trying to let Xu Wuqiang use this knife to directly pass through the prison, "That person's knife almost cut my venous artery at that time, but luckily I Hide quickly, it will be difficult to end without imprisoning that person for more than ten years."

Xu Ke raised his forehead, veins...

you win.

It was the first time for the police officer who had been handling the case for many years to see a victim who dared to fight for his own rights. He couldn't help laughing and said: "...Student, please don't get excited. Let's deal with the wound first."

When Wu Lian received the call from the police station, it was almost 12 o'clock in the night. She was still preparing the materials for tomorrow's meeting, and she had just gotten half of them.In the past few years, her work and rest have been like this, extremely irregular, almost always busy from morning to night, and the work intensity is so high that many young people can't bear it.

She is like a tireless machine, running at a high frequency every day.But to be honest, she doesn't hate this kind of life, she's even afraid to stop.

As soon as I am free, many things that I want to forget on purpose will float in my mind like duckweed, and I can't get rid of them.

No matter how hard Wu Lian tried, she had to admit that her life had been quite a failure.

When she was young, she also talked about a green love. Even though the last first love ended without a problem, she didn't feel any regrets.

Until she met Xu Wuqiang.

When Xu Wuqiang was young, he was considered a man of influence in the school. He was handsome and shy. He was considered a leader in that small county. At that time, there were many suitors in the school.Although he came from a bad background, he has a quick mind and bursts out with strange ideas from time to time.

When Wu Lian met him, he hadn't completely escaped from the trauma of the previous relationship. Xu Wuqiang chased her very hard at that time, and there were flowers and milk every day.The shy and young boy suddenly launched a ruthless chase, and few girls could bear it.

Later, everything seemed to be a matter of course, and there was no question of liking or disliking. Talented men and beautiful women seemed to be together.

Wu Lian spent two years with him in that small county. Like most ordinary couples in this world, they ran around every day for food, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.Such a life is flat, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Until one day, when Wu Lian looked at herself in the mirror, she suddenly realized that she was very strange in this appearance. In fact, she had tenacity in her bones, and her spirit was even higher when she was young.The emotional change is actually just a momentary thing. She is a little tired of the secular fireworks and wants to go to a farther place to see.

A butterfly in America flaps its wings a few times and can cause a hurricane. Sometimes many inadvertent choices can change many things.

Wu Lian often wondered if she hadn't insisted on coming out to work hard back then, if she had gritted her teeth and taken the two children away together, many things would not have turned into what they are now.

Whenever she saw Xu Ke's taciturn appearance, she would regret it immensely.

Xu Xu's death was like a needle piercing deeply in her heart, making her unable to breathe for half her life.She couldn't imagine how much inhuman torture her two children had suffered.So she could only treat Xu Ke twice as well, and wanted to make up for Xu Ke all the debt she owed her daughter.

It's just that this kind of goodness has no foundation from the beginning, so it seems extremely thin.A guilty expression is like a ball of illusory cotton candy, sweet only for a moment, and the taste will never be remembered in the next second.

In this deformed mother-child relationship, Wu Lian always subconsciously put herself on the weak side, which invisibly made the gap bigger and bigger.

The lights in the office will be a bit dazzling if you look at them for a long time, and reading the countless documents at once will make you feel dizzy. Wu Lian sat on the leather office chair and rubbed his temples, trying to ease the dizziness that filled his mind.

There was a sound of unhurried footsteps outside the office, and soon, the doorknob of her office was unscrewed from the outside.Gu Chuxuan walked in with a well-groomed dress, holding two cups of black coffee in his hand, "What's the matter, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He put the coffee on the table, walked behind Wu Lian and gently took her hand away, covered it with his own and massaged her away, "I'll take you to the hospital sometime, don't leave Get to the root of the disease."

Wu Lian finally relaxed all over, she found a comfortable way to lean against Gu Chuxuan lightly, "No need to go to the hospital, it's nothing serious, it's just that I read too many documents and my eyesight blurred."

Gu Chuxuan frowned, and said distressedly: "How long have you not rested? Next year, you will put aside what you have on hand first. It just so happens that next year those two little boys are seniors in high school and need someone to take care of them."

"Well, I think so too. Tomorrow, I will take a year off and stay at home to take care of my sons."

When the conversation came to this point, Gu Chuxuan took advantage of the situation and said, "Since this is the case, it's time to arrange a meeting together."

"I found someone to pick a good day, and it will only take a month or two. Before that, let the children meet first. I heard from Teacher Mei that the two of them get along well in school."

Wu Lian was a little stunned, "...Could it be too fast?"

"Hurry up?" Gu Chuxuan lost some strength in his hand, and pressed it more gently, "I have missed it for so many years, and I can't even wait for these few months."

Wu Lian laughed dumbfoundedly.

She was about to say yes, but the phone rang suddenly. She answered the phone, and after listening for a while, her complexion became worse and worse, "What? All right, all right, I'll be right over."

"What's wrong?" Gu Chuxuan asked.

Wu Lian clenched her phone tightly, "Xiao Ke has an accident."

Nothing happened to Xu Ke, not even a single hair fell out.The person who had the accident also looked like a normal person, except for the gauze wrapped in the palm of his hand, he looked very calm and cool on the surface.

In the interrogation room, the police officer who dispatched the police and the three underage teenagers in school uniforms looked at each other in blank dismay, neither of them looked very good.

"You mean that he carried drugs with him to induce you to take drugs?" The police officer looked at Xu Ke, and broke the sentence into several paragraphs, speaking very slowly, "But according to the information, this person is your father. A father would..."

Before the police officer finished speaking, he was cut off by someone who was fearless, "Where is the father who would let his son take drugs? So if the little blood relationship can be ignored, he and my boyfriend... It has nothing to do with being at the same table."

The police officer looked at Gu Shen a little sadly, "Student, can you shut up if I didn't ask you? Pay attention to discipline."

Gu Shen was silent for two seconds, and finally closed his mouth proudly, calming down.

Xu Ke glanced at him across the aisle, his gaze fell step by step from his face to his gauze-wrapped wrist, his face tightened.

He calmed down under the silent urging of the police, and finally said aloud: "A few years ago, there was a case in the garden. You can check the records. At that time, Xu Wuqiang was imprisoned for two years for domestic violence."

"The reporter of that case is me."

The police officer looked at the interrogation record book in front of him and fell silent.

He asked a few more innocuous questions later, and after he finished asking the three of them to wait in the waiting room next door, "I have called your guardians and wait for them to sign. You can go now."

Lin Mo was the first to be led away, and Jiang Zhou was the one who came to lead him away.

When Jiang Zhou saw the two of them, he gave them a gentle smile, "We met again, what a coincidence."

He always saves face for others, he didn't ask what happened in public, he just said: "Then wait a little longer, I will lead people away first."

When Lin Mo left, he didn't forget to say to Xu Ke: "I've already told my uncle that if you want to file a lawsuit or something, you can go to him directly and there will be no charge."

Xu Ke said "Yes", "Let's talk about it."

Anyway, no matter what, Xu Wuqiang has already been charged with three crimes, and he will be sentenced to at least seven or eight years.He is already at this age, and he is also addicted to drugs, so he may not be able to pass the level of drug rehab alone.After a lot of tossing, living is almost equivalent to suffering.

Jiang Zhou took Lin Mo away, and the huge waiting room suddenly became empty, even the air was quiet.

Gu Shen also deliberately chose a corner location, far away from Xu Ke. After so long, he really didn't say a word to Xu Ke, like a monk with a pure heart and asceticism.

Xu Ke had a day of ups and downs today, and his mood was also ups and downs. At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and he didn't want to think about anything anymore, he just wanted to coax his boyfriend.

He got up and went to lock the door of the waiting room. The soundproofing of this room was very good, even the sound of the police walking back and forth outside was blocked outside the door, making it hard to hear clearly.

After hearing the sound of the door lock "clicking", the monk who was sitting on the sidelines and not caring about worldly affairs finally reacted. He glanced at the door, and then confronted Xu Ke who was standing by the door. See.

In less than half a second, Gu Shen withdrew his gaze.

Hmph, don't try to seduce/seduce me, it's useless!

The sound of footsteps was very soft, Gu Shen resisted not to look back, and the next second he heard a cold and low voice from a distance of two centimeters from his ear.

Xu Ke's rare tone was mixed with rare banter, plus a bit of flattery, "Holy Monk, have you calmed down yet?"

Seeing that Gu Shen didn't respond, Xu Ke lowered his eyes, looked at Gu Shen's right hand hanging aside, and said sullenly: "I was wrong, I apologize, I'm sorry."

"Stop playing cold war with me, I don't like it."
