Three years later.

In City F in the north of Country C, water droplets condensed into hexagonal petals in the air, flying down in groups. They quietly landed on the grass, roofs, pool water, and treetops, not letting go of a single gap in the city.

It was exactly one o'clock at noon, and in the social science teaching building of F University, Shen Lu was about to finish his last lecture of the day: "Because the prison has extremely strict secrecy, it is usually difficult for our crime department to carry out research on the recidivism rate of prisoners. "

After summarizing the students, he looked up at the clock hanging on the classroom wall: "Today's class is here for the time being, do you have any questions before I leave?"

"Yes," a short black-haired girl raised her hand, "Professor, the data shows that the average recidivism rate of criminals in our Northern Continent is about 60.00%. Does this prove that criminals are very difficult to resocialize?"

"This is not a question that should be guided by the degree of difficulty." Shen Lu blinked, "Socialization represents the degree to which people accept social norms. Criminals do not necessarily commit crimes again because they do not accept social norms. Although some criminals understand What to do and what not to do in the world, but there are other factors that lead them to choose to commit crimes."

"This also means that criminals are difficult to be educated, right?" The girl continued to ask, "We learned in the last class that the country has invested a lot in the reform of criminals, but judging from today's data, such a large investment But it failed to meet the expected results, so I wonder if there is no need to allocate so much money on criminal reform? After all, most of them are difficult to change. If these taxes can be used for other policies Will it be more helpful to society?"

After the girl finished expressing her opinion, Shen Lu pondered for a moment: "Your idea is very good, but I don't think so. There are various causes of crime, and many people are persecuted by society when they are powerless to resist. Adverse effects lead to deviations in their behavior; in connection with the tension theory, there are still some people who are forced to make up for it by violating the rules because their efforts cannot meet the expected level of society anyway. The gap between reality and expectations."

"From the perspective of social integrity, these two types of criminals are just victims of an unhealthy society. It is the society that caused them to become criminals, so the society has the responsibility to pay for their education," Shen Lu explained his thoughts to the students earnestly "In addition, as society develops, the criminal correction system is also constantly evolving, and society's rehabilitation of criminals will only become more and more effective... If the reduction in funding makes it harder for many criminals, society's criminal The rate will rise significantly again, so the gain will outweigh the loss.”

A handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes quickly raised his hand: "Teacher, you said that the society has the responsibility to pay for them. It is the society that caused them to become criminals. Can their crimes be easily forgiven by the society?"

"I'm not saying that they can be easily forgiven, a crime is a crime, there is no doubt about it," Shen Lu paused, "I want to tell you, don't blindly blame the criminals, and don't ignore the reasons behind them becoming criminals , because only when human beings resonate with the tragic experience of criminals, will everyone reflect on whether they have caused others to fall into a situation where they have to commit crimes, and will also reflect on whether their own background has a risk of crime, and only in this way, people will By trying to reduce the bad influence on others from the root, this society will truly become a better place."

"If you can, I hope you can remember that although we study criminology to study crime, the essence of this motivation is actually to make society healthier."

"So, in order to make the world a better place in our hands, while we strive to live in this world, we must restrain ourselves from two aspects of thinking and behavior," Shen Lu tilted his head at this point. Smiling at the students, "It doesn't matter if you can't make the world a better place right away...I just hope that you can gradually become a better version of yourself in the future."

At the end of the class, Shen Lu waited for all the students to leave the classroom before packing up and going out.

He came to the bathroom, looked in the mirror and meticulously smoothed out all the wrinkles of the suit on his body, and then dipped some water to pluck out the slightly raised hair. Then he went to the parking lot on the second floor and drove the car. Arrived at the marriage registration office in F City.

After getting off the car, Shen Lu saw a black SUV parked at the entrance of the registration office from a distance, he raised his eyebrows, walked slowly to the side of the car and knocked on the half-open window: "I'm sorry, because I was late for class just now .”

The man in camouflage uniform wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat nodded slightly, then gestured to the back seat, and asked someone to open the rear door.

"what."

A pale-skinned man was escorted out of the car by two police officers. He squinted his eyes in the direction of the sun, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his slightly haggard face seemed to be dyed with a bright light.

A few seconds later, he blinked and turned his head, his blue eyes met Shen Lu's gaze, and he pretended to be helpless and said, "Sean, the light here is too dazzling."

"Then let's go in together first." Shen Lu took his hand, and with the other finger pointed in the direction of the marriage registration office, "You should have rarely seen the light these few years, and you should feel better after getting used to it for a while. "

"Ah."

The black-haired and blue-eyed man nodded slightly, and followed Shen Lu, who had become a professor, into the registration office. He would sit wherever Shen Lu pointed, and write whatever Shen Lu told him to write. That obedient expression was on the marriage registration form. The appearance of signing is as obedient as a primary school student listening to the teacher's guidance.

After the registration was completed, the accompanying police officer handed over all the man's ID documents to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu put all these documents into his briefcase, took the man's hand and left the registration office, and then got into his car together.

"What's the matter?" Shen Lu started the car on fire, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the man quietly holding the marriage certificate, "I'm not feeling well? Or have you been in prison for too long, and you've become a little inflexible?"

"Neither." Qin Qiu shook his head lightly. He neatly placed the two marriage certificates on his lap, grabbed Shen Lu's hand and stood up with emotion, "I can't take care of myself or my skin in prison. Thinking of you I have always liked my face, and I am a little worried that you will dislike me."

Shen Lu: "..."

Damn, it's this time, and this man is still saying such things?

He sneered, deliberately made a straight face, and pulled the man's clenched hand from his arm: "Isn't that a coincidence, I really feel a little disgusted with you now."

"No, you don't have a chance to dislike me anymore." The man moved his head forward and kissed Shen Lu lightly on the corner of his mouth, "From the moment we met, 'Qin Qiu' has never returned anything."

At this moment, Shen Lu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he couldn't hold back a shiver: "What is the beginning?"

Qin Qiu just hooked the corners of his lips gently, and did not open his mouth to answer. Unless Shen Lu found out by himself in the future, he would never take the initiative to tell the young man that he had no intention of letting him go from the beginning.

Regardless of whether this person's answer is good or bad every time he asks a question, no matter what choice the young man made when facing the trap——

Whether he stepped into heaven or fell into hell, Shen Lu's fate could only be controlled by him alone.

After starting the car, Shen Lu slowed down the car very slowly so that the guard could drive behind them.After about half an hour, the car passed through the bustling downtown and gradually drove to a deserted open space, and at the end of the open space was a detached villa with a dangerous iron fence.

Shen Lu took out his mobile phone and pressed the remote control, then the door of the villa slowly opened inwards, and he and the guard drove the car into the yard one after the other: "Do you still like this place?"

"The decoration here is very good, and the surrounding scenery is not bad," Qin Qiu said with gentle eyes, "I like it very much."

"nice! You love it."

Hearing this, Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He assigned the guard's room next door to Qin Qiu, indicating that the guard could move freely within the villa. Then he took Qin Qiu's hand and walked toward the low-key and luxuriously decorated Go inside the bungalow.

Behind them, the guard quietly watched the backs of the two entering the house, and there seemed to be a gleam of pity in those calm eyes——

What's the use of a well-built house?At best, it's just another cage, bigger and more ornate.

On the other side, after entering the villa, Shen Lu pulled Qin Qiu to introduce the internal structure of the house.Shen Lu put a lot of thought into the renovation last year. The house not only included the functional places of ordinary housing, but also built a gym, swimming pool, dark room and mini bar. It can be said that it is a full-featured high-end club.

When he went to school in the morning, he was in a hurry to go out and forgot to turn off the TV on the first floor. Now the sound of the TV passed through the empty hall, faintly ringing in the ears of the two of them.

Qin Qiu raised his head slightly, and gently stroked the modern murals hanging on the wall with his fingertips: "How much did you spend to prepare these?"

"I spent about 2000 million C national currency, which is all my belongings these years." Shen Lu didn't intend to be ambiguous at all, as the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, "so how much assets do you have these few years? It is suggested that all be obediently handed in to subsidize the family."

"No problem," Qin Qiu nodded with a casual smile, "The copyrights of my previous books were sold for more than 1000 million, and I don't know how much I have added in the past few years. Now they are all yours."

Shen Lu who didn't expect to have so much money at first: "..."

How long did it take him to ask his financial classmate to work hard with his savings to make up 2000 million yuan? This person made so much money just by writing books before?This is too psychologically unbalanced, right?

Qin Qiu keenly noticed Shen Lu's sullen expression, and said in a gentle tone, "What's the matter? Is the money still not enough?"

"Of course this much money is enough. Even if the maintenance of the house and the cost of hiring a warden are excluded, the remaining money is enough for us to spend for a long time. Besides, I work hard to earn money in school. We will never pay for it in this life. Starved to death..."

Before the depressed tone fell, Shen Lu was hugged by the man from behind, and he paused abruptly: "What's wrong?"

"I just want to hug you all of a sudden," Qin Qiu said hoarsely next to his ear, the man's voice was very soft, but it was very clear in this empty corridor, "Look, Sean, we can finally be together with peace of mind."

Shen Lu hesitated for a moment, raised his right hand, and stroked the man's cheek on his shoulder with his backhand: "Well, we will always be together in the future... together we will make this world a better place."

Hearing this, Qin Qiu smiled happily. He quietly stared at Shen Lu's slightly flushed profile, and couldn't help but hug the lover in his arms even tighter.

Although he will wear electronic handcuffs all his life and only stay in this villa carefully built by Shen Lu, what does that matter?

At this moment, the news broadcast on the TV downstairs faintly passed into his ears with the wind——

"At ten o'clock this morning, Congress confirmed in its meeting that the death penalty system will be officially implemented next month..."

The curvature of the corner of the man's mouth suddenly became wider, and he rubbed the tip of his nose against Shen Lu's earlobe: "I love you."

Satisfied in his heart, he thought that he had obtained all the desires he wanted to pursue in this world.

So he was willing to be a prisoner of Shen Lu who was locked in a cage for the rest of his life.
