Broken Xu

That night, Xu Chi had a dream of a pink rose.

In the dream, the whole world was pink, the pale pink of the captain's lips. From the wall to the clouds, Xu Chi walked along the corridor, and kept walking.

At the end of the dream is Duan Jieling in a pink suit. He who is used to plain colors is even more difficult to touch in this color.

He walked slowly, without the indifference towards outsiders, without the affinity towards acquaintances, showing an abnormal flirtatiousness.

He took off his pink suit jacket, unzipped his pink trousers, and left only a shirt and a pair of Xu Chi's favorite pink underwear. He knelt in front of Xu Chi and bit Xu Chi's crotch with his mouth. pants zipper...

Xu Chi sat up suddenly, Duan Jieling's magnified face was in front of him, because Xu Chi slept on the ground last night, and now Duan Jieling was kneeling when Duan Jieling called him to get up, just like the pink dream, Xu Chi felt himself suddenly Exhausted/cause of the huge shock.

"team leader…."

"Why is your face covered with sweat, did you have a nightmare?" Duan Jieling reached out to wipe off the beads of sweat rolling down Xu Chi's face, but was pushed away.

Xu Chi ran to the toilet.

"Uncle Duan, what happened to Brother Xu Chi?" said He Jianshu who was sitting at the dining table in the living room.

"It's nothing, it's just urgency, uncle has warmed up milk for you, drink it."

He Jianshu shook his head like a grown-up: "Wait for brother Xu Chi to eat together."

Duan Jieling resisted the urge to rub the child, tied a beautiful red scarf on He Jianshu, put on the newly bought Conan shoes for him, prepared everything and waited for Xu Chi to come out for breakfast.

Half an hour later, Xu Chi walked out of the bathroom door with water dripping on his face, pulled out the chair and sat on the dining table.

"Xu Chi, why is it taking so long?"

"It's okay, it's been a long time squatting in the toilet."

Duan Jieling looked serious: "It's not good to sit on the toilet for a long time."

Xu Chi responded lightly, picked up the sandwich and ate it. While eating, he couldn't help reminiscing about the dream. There was a touch of pink spreading from the earlobe to the cheek.

"Xu Chi, have you been sick recently?" Duan Jieling said cautiously.

"Ah?" Facing the worried expression on the face, coupled with his frequent use of the bathroom recently, Xu Chi instantly understood what Duan Jieling was thinking, but he couldn't explain it, he could only say "I Not sick."

Just wait, you will know how good I am sooner or later, Xu Chi thought.

Children's self-esteem is really strong, there seems to be a Chinese medicine doctor at the end of Shanglin Road who specializes in treating this, and it must be arranged quickly, Duan Jieling thought.

After breakfast, Xu Chi drove He Jianshu and Duan Jieling to the primary school.

On the way, He Jianshu put his hands on the car window and stared at the scenery outside the window, showing his great curiosity about the world.

Duan Jieling felt in a trance that these eyes were somewhat similar to Xu Chi, not the shape and angle, but the eyes with great hope for the world, so simple, like the first snowflakes falling in winter, I want to see it quickly Looking at this world, it would be great if all he sees is the kindness of this world, Duan Jieling thinks so...

"Xiaoshu, do you know if you need to call uncle?"

After the child nodded, he entered the school with the person who received him that day.

"Xu Chi, I'm a little worried, will Xiaoshu be bullied?"

Xu Chi was driving the car, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the captain who could calmly deal with murder cases, but he showed anxiety uncharacteristically, which was a bit novel: "Captain, I promise you, if anyone in that school dares to If you bully Xiaoshu, I will tear down that school."

It was obviously such absurd words, but Duan Jieling couldn't help but believe it. The child seemed to have matured a lot after this incident, and he still couldn't protect him. He had to go through the cruelty of this world by himself after all, but This time, Duan Jieling hoped that he would accompany him...

Duan Jieling entered the police station with such a mood, because he was preoccupied, he went straight into the office without saying hello to anyone.

"I said, you put the captain to sleep, why does he have that expression?" Zhao Hong said.

Unable to restrain himself, Xu Chi remembered that dream again, but within a second he came back to his senses: "Don't...nonsense...nonsense...."

"Okay, okay, but you have to talk to Brother Zhao, how far have you and the captain progressed?"

This question is something Xu Chi has been thinking about but refuses to think about. He can only say angrily: "That's it, the captain doesn't treat me as an adult at all. In his heart, Xiaoshu and I are on the same level..."

"Will He Jianshu and other little girls get close to the captain and deliberately let them separate?"

Xu Chi didn't answer, and took Zhao Hong to the monitoring room. Duan Jieling on the screen was lovingly looking at He Jianshu's photo, which was his new mobile phone screen.

Zhao Hong had nothing to say, but just came up with another conclusion: "Will the captain overflow with maternal love? After all, you are mature now, and the captain has no one to play with..."

Xu Chi seemed to have been reminded: "That is to say, as long as I return to the police force where I don't understand anything, will the captain treat me the same as Xiaoshu?"

Before Zhao Hong could speak, Xu Chi ran away like a gust of wind.

Xu Chi raised his hand and knocked on the door of Duan Jieling's office.

"Enter."

After getting permission, Xu Chi opened the door, only stuck his head in, and tried to pretend that he didn't understand anything when he just came to the police force, and said, "Captain, where is the tea room?"

It's not that Duan Jieling doesn't want to answer this question, it's that Xu Chi's desk is facing the tea room in the hall, so could it be possible for him to say 'stand up, turn around, and walk 20 steps forward', so he He could only look at the child who was hesitating at the door with questioning eyes.

Xu Chi also realized that this question was too stupid, but he couldn't think of other questions for a while, so he had an idea: "Captain, where is the toilet?"

"What the hell are you here for?"

"Captain, I am..."

Before Xu Chi finished speaking, the phone in Duan Jieling's office rang. He looked at Xu Chi, thinking about how to tell him what was on the phone, but thinking of the child's maturity a few days ago, he still kept it intact. Tell Xu Chi the conversation: "Lin Ling's trial will be next month."

These words were like a fuse. The miracle is that Xu Chi did not appear the sad emotion he imagined, but was very calm, as if he thought the fuse was a mine, but in fact he was a sunflower who was given sunshine. Steadily said: "The probability is the death penalty."

"Yes." Duan Jieling continued to express his thoughts after seeing that Xu Chi was fine, "Probation is also impossible, because her father is a public figure, and the court will be sentenced to death under pressure. You'd better find a good one for her." Lawyer, don’t let the Public Procuratorate send him a lawyer, that will probably…”

Xu Chi interrupted: "Captain, I know all about it, thank you for thinking so much about her."

"Xu Chi, you..."

Xu Chi walked up to Duan Jieling generously, let him look at him, and said: "The captain has learned micro-expression, let's see how I feel now?"

Duan Jieling didn't look anywhere else at all, just looking at these eyes, he knew that Xu Chi was relieved, and he said with relief: "It's peace, it's relief, Xu Chi has grown up."

But Xu Chi remembered what Zhao Hong had just told him about the captain's motherly love, and looked at Duan Jieling and whispered, "Xu Chi hasn't grown up yet."

Duan Jieling didn't realize it for a while, but after a while he did, he started laughing, Xu Chi is always so unexpected.

"Captain, don't laugh, I'm serious."

"Alright, captain, remember, Xu Chi will never grow up."

"Some places are still quite big..."

As soon as these words came out, both Xu Chi and Duan Jieling were taken aback.

Xu Chi blurted out without thinking because he was looked down upon in the morning.

It was because Duan Jieling had always treated Xu Chi as a child, and the child's words still had a yellow accent, and the pure white that he had always thought had a little yellow in an instant... Duan Jieling really didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, Xu Chi reacted first, left a sentence, "Brother Zhao still has something to do with me", and ran away.

-

A month later, Lin Ling was sentenced to death. Miraculously, apart from a few innocuous cases, no major cases occurred this month, as if he was preparing for Xu Chi to sort out his mood.

Xu Chi has also really matured. He would go to Lin Ling's every day and tell her about the outside world, from the trivialities of the police force to what company her family bought, from how he settled Yang Qianqian's parents to this matter. No matter how the matter calmed down, Lin Ling never said a word...

On the day when Lin Ling was actually sentenced to death, Xu Chi didn't find the stool where he sat and chatted with Lin Ling all day long, but looked down at her like some kind of judge.

Lin Ling also realized something, and opened her mouth that she hadn't opened for a long time: "You're here."

"Yes, I'm here. You know that your execution will be executed in a month's time, right?"

"I just came out of court in the morning, isn't it nonsense for you to ask me this now?"

How did it become like this? Xu Chi still can't figure it out. A few months ago, they were still joking about what would happen if Sweetheart and Baby hadn't undergone surgery. .

Although Xu Chi tried his best to repair this relationship before she died, he lost the opportunity because of this person's stubbornness. What is between them now may not be as simple as a difference in worldview, whether they can be in the same world is a problem He can only lower his posture a little bit.

"Xiao Ling, I don't mind your affairs anymore, can we make up?"

"Xu Chi, why are you still so naive? I am a burden to you now. No one in the world will help me. What's the use of reconciling with me?"

"How can you be a burden, from childhood to adulthood..."

Lin Ling wanted to stand up and look directly at him, but she was restrained by the handcuffs and squatted halfway. She interrupted: "Xu Chi, stop talking about growing up since childhood, can you be more mature!"

After this murder case, the word 'mature' was what Xu Chi heard the most. Everyone praised him, but this woman stubbornly kept her opinion, what else would he do?

"Xiao Ling, this is the last time I will see you. You can write down what you want to say and ask the prison guards to give it to me. If you say you don't want to reconcile, then so be it..."

"and many more!"

Hearing this tone, Xu Chi thought he had a turning point, but when he turned around, he heard more indifferent words.

"I've never considered you a friend."

Xu Chi couldn't stay any longer, he wanted to leave this fake Lin Ling.

Lin Ling said silently to the lonely back: "You have long been my only family member in this world..."
