Delusional world [criminal investigation]

When Pei Yin returned to the interrogation room, Chen Jiang had already fallen asleep.

Pei Yin knocked on the table and called him: "Get up."

Chen Jiang opened his eyes and was stunned for a second, only to regain his senses when he saw Pei Yin.

Pei Yin asked: "Tell me everything you know about Li Yao."

Chen Jiang was sleeping on the table, and when he looked up, he could see two marks that were pressed out. He frowned and said, "There is nothing to say."

"Chen Jiang, I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Pei Yin said, "Li Yao is not only concerned about murder, he is involved in a drug trafficking chain that the police have followed for ten years. If he can make up for his mistakes, it will help the trial. "

"So, if you like him—" Pei Yin looked at Chen Jiang, and said again, "Providing key information now is ten times more useful than turning yourself in with these useless search records."

Pei Yin patted a piece of paper in front of Chen Jiang, on which were Chen Jiang's previous search records on how to kill people, and online shopping records.

"I'll give you one last chance. If we can't find Li Yao before tomorrow, you won't be able to see him again in this lifetime."

Chen Jiang was obviously panicked, his expression tightened, and he asked, "Why?"

"Because there are only two paths for his future, either to die by taking drugs, or to be shot dead by the police on the way to drug trafficking." Pei Yin said, "There is no need to think about your flimsy testimonies anymore. Three or 10 minutes, I can't tell. If you want something, someone else will come to interrogate you."

Pei Yin changed his face all of a sudden, and Chen Jiang was somewhat nervous.But he didn't know that Li Yao had sent the video of the murder, so he still insisted: "Peng Jia was killed by me."

Pei Yin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and directly took a picture of the phone in front of Chen Jiang.

The photo is taken from the video, Peng Jia is lying on the bed, Li Yao is standing beside her.There were no bloody scenes, but it was obvious that Peng Jia was dead at that time.

After a while, Pei Yin put away the phone, and said to the person whose eyes were already flushed without blinking for a long time, "You mentioned Peng Jia's existence to Li Yao, and expressed your dislike for Peng Jia. I had the idea of ​​killing Peng Jia for you, but I didn't tell you the time and place, so you only discovered this fact on the day when the crime happened."

"After you knew that Li Yao was... or had already committed the crime, you immediately had the idea of ​​taking the blame for Li Yao. So you deliberately left suspicious search terms on the computer, and left home to hide in a place where surveillance cameras could not capture For two hours, the purpose is to ensure that I have no alibi during the time when Peng Jia was killed."

"You intentionally appeared near the Anfa community on the day after the crime. You should know that the criminal will return to the scene of the crime with a high probability of murder, so you deliberately appeared at an inappropriate time and dressed easily. The identified school uniform wandered around the crime scene for a while."

"You knew the police would be looking into your father soon, so you purposely blurted out your alibi when you were supposed to provide your father, in order to focus the police's attention on you."

"Because you know that a too smooth case handling process will be suspicious, so you dare not leave too obvious evidence, you have to let the police inadvertently notice you during the investigation, and then follow the clues you deliberately left step by step investigation."

"But you gradually discovered that there were too many loopholes in your plan, and the police did not focus all their attention on you as you expected, so you changed your strategy and simply surrendered before the police had doubts about your real purpose. "

"You were missing for a day and a half, maybe you were meeting Li Yao." Pei Yin observed Chen Jiang's face and asked, "Have you bid farewell to him?"

"Or did Li Yao know that you were willing to take the blame for him and send you to the police station?" Pei Yin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did he still tell you that you are not old enough to be sentenced to death, and there is still time for you after you get out of prison?" A good life? Or...he promised to pick you up when you get out of prison?"

Every word Pei Yin put into Chen Jiang's heart, he deliberately made Li Yao's words unsightly, just for Chen Jiang's current words.

Chen Jiang's eyes were red, and there was a determination in his eyes that a child of this age should not have. He stared at Pei Yin and said, "If you insult Li Yao again, I will kill you."

"Is this called insult?" Pei Yin said indifferently, "I haven't said what he will do after you go to prison. He is a homeless man who has no source of income and does not go out to work. He can only eat and wait for death. I can make a face-to-face."

"Oh... Maybe you don't have to wait until then. Is this the relationship between you two?"

Wow - bang!

When the chair fell on Pei Yin for the second time in one day, Pei Yin had already reacted first. He stopped the chair that Chen Jiang had smashed down with all his strength, and reminded him in a cold voice: "My captain just warned you I, I can't turn off the monitoring indiscriminately, if you do this kind of thing again, you won't be able to go home tomorrow."

Chen Jiang didn't listen, he threw himself on Pei Yin like crazy, as if he wanted to fight Pei Yin to the death.What Pei Yin promised Jing Jue was "I won't be beaten, I won't get hurt", but the current situation is obviously beyond the scope of his guarantee.

Because of Jing Jue's gradually "calculating" character, even if Pei Yin just cut a small slit on his hand, Jing Jue may ask Pei Yin to add another thousand words of self-criticism on the grounds of "broken trust".

In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Pei Yin had no choice but to restrain Chen Jiang.

Compared with anyone who has fought against Pei Yin, Chen Jiang is more powerless. He is obviously a child who can't fight, but he insists on risking his life for Li Yao.

Pei Yin easily pressed Chen Jiang against the wall. Chen Jiang couldn't move for a while, and could only ask in a trembling voice, "What do you know?"

"What do you know!?"

"What do you know! What do you know! What the fuck do you know!!!!"

Chen Jiang was hoarse. Seeing that the tears had come out of his eyes, and the scarlet blood was bitten out of his lips, Pei Yin frowned, and asked the person on the other end of the earphone: "Can I..."

"According to your ideas." Jing Jue's reliable voice came immediately, "I will be responsible for any accidents."

Pei Yin said in his heart, "No accident will happen, and it is impossible for you to be responsible", but he still felt relieved when he heard Jing Jue say this.

Chen Jiang seemed to be unable to hear Pei Yin's voice, his tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably, his head was pressed against the wall, and he kept muttering: "You don't understand at all..."

"Chen Jiang." Pei Yin suddenly stopped the man who was on the verge of collapse, and asked, "Do you want to see Li Yao?"

When Chen Jiang appeared in Jing Jue's office, it was 10 minutes later.

Pei Yin uncuffed him, took him to wash his face, and made him drink a glass of warm water.

Chen Jiang woke up from his trance after hearing Pei Yin say that Li Yao was leaving tomorrow.

Chen Jiang sat in Jing Jue's office and asked, "Where do we want to start?"

Just as Jing Jue was about to speak, Pei Yin secretly touched his calf under the table.

Pei Yin said to Chen Jiang: "You can say whatever comes to your mind."

Jing Jue acquiesced to Pei Yin's answer.

Chen Jiang lowered his head and thought for a while, he wasn't recalling the past with Li Yao, because those were engraved into Chen Jiang's bones and blood, so there was no need to think about it deliberately.

Chen Jiang was thinking about where to start. He was thinking about where to start to introduce Li Yao so that his life would become meaningful.

Later, Chen Jiang decided to start with the first meeting.

Chen Jiang said: "I first met Li Yao when I was eight years old."

Pei Yin took a breath, and said in his heart that starting from what happened seven years ago, he probably won't be able to go home tonight, but he has already promised to listen to Chen Jiang's story, so he won't regret it at this time.

"I went to the Nanfu Bridge that day and prepared to jump into the river."

Chen Jiang's second sentence made Pei Yin shudder again. An eight-year-old child actually wanted to commit suicide?

"But I'm a little afraid of heights, and I can't jump down after standing for a long time." Chen Jiang said, "Later, Li Yao came to me and said, 'If you want to jump, jump, don't delay my sleep'. The place."

"I was terrified..."

Chen Jiang said, as if he could recall the emotions at the beginning...

It was a spring that hadn't rained much, and the ground was terribly dry. Chen Jiang squatted on the bridge, and dared not jump off for a long time.

When Li Yao passed by him for the first time, he held an empty glass fiber bag in his hand. When he came back again, there were more than a dozen empty bottles in the glass fiber bag, but Chen Jiang hadn't jumped off yet.

So Li Yao walked over to him and said, "Jump if you want, don't delay my sleep."

At that time, Chen Jiang was only crying and couldn't finish a sentence. He said to Li Yao, "Leave me alone", and then asked Li Yao, "Which way do I want to get off the bridge?"

Li Yao had never seen such a crying person, he said annoyedly "Follow me", and then took the lead in walking in one direction.

Chen Jiang picked up his schoolbag and immediately ran to follow.

Chen Jiang asked Li Yao: "What's your name?"

Li Yao said, "Don't worry about it."

Chen Jiang said, "My name is Chen Jiang."

Li Yao paused and told him: "Li Yao."

That was the first meeting between Chen Jiang and Li Yao. Li Yao took Chen Jiang off the bridge, but Chen Jiang didn't want to leave, so he asked Li Yao, "Can I stay with you for a while?"

Li Yao said: "I don't have time, I'm going to sell these to buy food."

When Chen Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "I have something to eat!"

He opened his schoolbag, and it was full of snacks.

It turned out that it was a spring outing that day, and Chen Jiang was bullied by several classmates, so he took sick leave early to go home, but suddenly couldn't think about it on the way, and wanted to imitate the adults on TV and blow the wind on the bridge.

At that time, Chen Jiang didn't know what "suicide" meant. He just thought that jumping off would be less painful, but after getting off the bridge with Li Yao, Chen Jiang found that he was no longer in pain, so he didn't want to die.

Chen Jiang asked Li Yao "where does his family live?" Li Yao said "I don't have a home", Chen Jiang thought for a long time before he understood Li Yao's meaning.

He handed all the food for the spring outing to Li Yao, and then said to him: "Then I will give you all these, you can play with me for a while."

When they met for the first time, Chen Jiang gave Li Yao food for three days, and Li Yao saved Chen Jiang's life.

Chen Jiang said to Li Yao: "I will come to play with you next time."

Li Yao didn't agree, he tied the bag for picking up bottles to a stone pillar, and replied, "I won't be here next time."

Chen Jiang said: "Then you come to me, the place where I live will not change."

He wrote a small note to Li Yao, telling Li Yao to come to him before leaving, but after that, Chen Jiang never saw Li Yao again for three months.

When spring went to summer and the air became hotter, Chen Jiang took the five yuan Xiao Yuanhe gave him and went downstairs to buy popsicles, and saw Li Yao as soon as he went out.

Chen Jiang was very happy, ran over to blame Li Yao for not coming to him earlier, and gave Li Yao all five yuan.

When Chen Jiang went home, he told Xiao Yuanhe that he bought a very expensive popsicle, but he ate it up on the way, so he didn't bring anything back.

Xiao Yuanhe didn't care to listen to the child's unnutritious words, so he went to work after a few words.Unexpectedly, a few hours later, Chen Qian bought a bag of ice cream and came back, all of which were more expensive than five yuan. Just looking at the packaging, she felt exquisite.

Chen Jiang reached out to grab one, but Xiao Yuanhe slapped him on the back of his hand: "Isn't it finished? Don't reach out for expensive ones, you can't be so vain!"

Chen Qian said that Xiao Yuanhe "pointed at Sang and scolded Huai", and soon the two quarreled, and the ice cream was thrown on the ground and melted all over the place, and no one cleaned it up until the next day.

But now Chen Jiang is not so afraid, the child's heart is so big, Chen Jiang now pretends to be hopeful in his heart, and he can no longer pretend to be afraid.

Chen Jiang really wanted to see Li Yao again, because Li Yao was the first friend in his short life who was willing to listen to him.

Li Yao still didn't live near Chen Jiang's house. Chen Jiang couldn't find Li Yao at any time, but because Li Yao would appear every once in a while, Chen Jiang was always looking forward to the next meeting.

This kind of relationship without any contact information and only relying on Li Yao's wishes to meet each other lasted for three years. During the three years, Chen Jiang would see Li Yao once a month on average. Every time he saved a lot of stories to tell Li Yao , Sometimes I save too much, afraid of forgetting, I will take a notebook to write down the key points.

Chen Jiang will carry that little book with him to ensure that whenever he meets Li Yao, there will be stories to tell.

That day was Friday, and Chen Jiang had just been promoted to the first year of junior high school. He missed Li Yao a little, but Li Yao hadn't come for a long time.

Chen Jiang staggered out of an alley after school, before his school uniform was zipped up, Li Yao appeared in front of him.

Chen Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile slowly emerged, but soon, his expression dimmed again.

Because his money just happened to be taken by senior students, there is no money to give to Li Yao today.

Chen Jiang was so sad that he was about to cry, he said to Li Yao, "I'm sorry."

He also told Li Yao: "I will definitely hide the money next time."

Li Yao didn't say anything at the time, he went to Cangmai to buy Chen Jiang a bottle of his favorite milk, and then gave Chen Jiang another ten yuan.

Chen Jiang said no, but Li Yao knew that Chen Jiang was robbed of the pocket money he had saved for a long time, so he must be very distressed.

Li Yao didn't want to hurt Chen Jiang, but he had nothing, all he could give Chen Jiang was ten yuan.

Chen Jiang said: "I have prepared a lot of stories."

He took off his schoolbag, took out the diary that had been torn apart by senior students, put it together briefly, and began to read the story while sucking milk.

He said: "I met a big dog downstairs, and I was very scared. I wanted to run, but I was afraid that it would catch up, so I walked slowly, like this..."

The two sat on the stone steps by the river, Li Yao listened to Chen Jiang's running account and never interrupted him.

Before leaving, Chen Jiang asked Li Yao: "When will you come next time?"

Li Yao was a little surprised and asked him, "Are you waiting for me?"

Chen Jiang nodded obediently and said, "I am waiting for you every day."

From then on, Li Yao appeared more often. It is strange to say that since that day, Chen Jiang has not been robbed of money by senior students. When they met again, Chen Jiang still saw the difference on the faces of those students degree of bruising.

Chen Jiang later told Li Yao about this miraculous thing, but he didn't notice Li Yao's red and swollen arm. He only told Li Yao: "I will give you all my pocket money in the future."

Li Yao said, "You spend it yourself."

"I don't." Chen Jiang shook his legs with a smile, ate the popsicle that Li Yao bought for him, and said, "I'll give it to you."

This year, Chen Jiang told Li Yao a lot about his family affairs.

Chen Jiang told Li Yao that his parents would quarrel every day, even in small things.

At the end of Chen Jiang's speech, the topic changed and changed to: "That's why I hated quarrels since I was a child. Those senior students came to ask for money. In order not to quarrel, I had to give them."

Chen Jiang said with an erratic expression, "It's not because of fear!"

That was the first time Li Yao showed a smiling face. He pursed his lower lip and said, "How about this, you pay me the protection fee, tell me if there is anything in the future, and I will solve it."

At that time, Chen Jiang was sipping the popsicle that Li Yao bought for him, he paused for a while, followed Li Yao carefully, and asked, "Then how much do you want..."

He was afraid that it would be too expensive and he would not be able to take it out by himself.

Li Yao took out ten yuan from the pile of cash that Chen Jiang stuffed him like a confession just now, and said, "Ten yuan a year."

Then he returned the rest of the money to Chen Jiang and said, "Pay once a year."

Every time they meet, there is this process. Chen Jiang gives all the pocket money to Li Yao, but Li Yao refuses to accept it. Chen Jiang is very wronged.

After parting that day, Li Yao used the "protection fee" collected from Chen Jiang to buy two thick clothes. It's summer now, and winter clothes are very cheap at the second-hand market. But seven or eight yuan.

Li Yao is preparing for this year's winter in advance, he didn't get a down jacket last year, he almost froze to death on the side of the road.

Although it is not impossible to die, but now that there is Chen Jiang, he is a little girl who is about to cry.He was so easily bullied, Li Yao had to visit him from time to time before he grew up.

In the second year of junior high school, on the day when the results of the final exam were released, Li Yao came to Chen Jiang.

This is the first time the two have made an appointment to meet. The last time they met, Chen Jiang said that he could not go home this afternoon and asked Li Yao if he could stay with him for a while.

Li Yao saw Chen Jiang's test paper for the first time, and he asked, "How much score did you get?"

Chen Jiang never thought that Li Yao would ask this question, he thought Li Yao never cared about grades, Chen Jiang blushed and said nothing.

Li Yao asked him "what's the matter", Chen Jiang whispered, "I'll tell you next time."

Since then, Chen Jiang's grades have never fallen below the top three in the school year.

After his grades improved, more people paid attention to Chen Jiang. He didn't say a word at school and had no sense of presence, but he was suddenly called by the teacher to question him on the day he was the first in the class.

The teacher asked him: "Tell me, how did you get your grades?"

Chen Jiang said, "I got it from the exam."

A bad student next to him who happened to be called to be scolded laughed at him: "They asked you how you copied it."

Chen Jiang then said, "I didn't copy it."

The head teacher said: "Okay, come and solve these problems in front of me."

Chen Jiang looked down and finished the calculation process in less than 2 minutes. The head teacher was dumbfounded and had nothing to say. The bad student next to him made fun of him: "Teacher, you have to find out if Chen Jiang is in a relationship. See if it looks like this." I am working hard for the little girl."

Half of this sentence is correct, Chen Jiang is indeed trying to make himself stronger, but not for the little girl, he is for Li Yao.

He gradually began to understand that Li Yao was not unwilling to tell himself where he lived, Li Yao really had no place to live.He looked about the same age as himself, even if he grabbed the sleeping position, he couldn't grab those adults.

So Chen Jiang wanted to give Li Yao a home.

The only thing he can do is to study, because Chen Qian promised him that he would give him 500 yuan every time he came first in the exam.

When Chen Jiang saved 3000 yuan, he met Li Yao again.

At that time, Chen Jiang's third year of junior high school had just finished his studies. Before the summer vacation started, Chen Jiang, sweating all over his head, handed Li Yao a paper bag wrapped in several layers.

His eyes were too bright, and his heart was full of joy. He pulled Li Yao's hand, telling him to accept it, but with this pull, Li Yao's sleeve was pulled up, revealing a section of bruised arm.

Chen Jiang was terrified at the time. He thought that Li Yao had some incurable disease and was about to take Li Yao to the hospital immediately, but Li Yao grabbed Chen Jiang and said, "I don't have an ID card, so I can't go."

Only then did Chen Jiang know about Li Yao's past.

He was an outcast, a street kid.

Chen Jiang didn't care, saying that Li Yao's illness must be cured, and he would be cured with any money. Li Yao had no choice but to tell him the truth.

His injury was beaten by someone, that is, the few people who robbed Chen Jiang of money when he first entered the first year of junior high school.At that time, Li Yao plotted against them once, and the one-on-three strikes did not lose the wind. Now that they have entered high school, the momentum is even stronger. They met Li Yao on the road and avenged their past.

Chen Jiang was crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, Li Yao was a little annoyed, and said to him: "Can you stop crying? What are you crying for when you are so hurt?"

"Then...then you...take this away, and I won't cry."

As Chen Jiang said, he pushed the paper bag containing 3000 yuan to Li Yao.

Li Yao looked at it and took it.

Sure enough, Chen Jiang gradually stopped crying. He pulled Li Yao and said, "Ten yuan a year, you have to protect me for 300 years."

Li Yao has no romantic plot, he has never seen such a thing as "romantic", his life is full of darkness and hatred, but seeing Chen Jiang's crying face, Li Yao still wiped his hang with his thumb With tears on the face, said: "300 years ago I died."

"If you die, you will have a next life." Chen Jiang said, "I will always be with you."

At that time, Chen Jiang didn't know what liking was. He just wanted to be with Li Yao forever. It would be best not to meet him once a week. Every day after school, he could see Li Yao as soon as he came home.

Chen Jiang swore that he would never quarrel with Li Yao, he would hug Li Yao every day and tell him interesting stories.

When they met again, Chen Jiang happily asked Li Yao: "Have you rented a house yet?"

Li Yao said, "Didn't I tell you that I can't rent it."

Li Yao hasn't learned how to talk to Chen Jiang in a gentle tone. Chen Jiang is a little disappointed, but not angry. He said, "I'm sorry, I forgot. Then I'll save some more and I'll rent it for you next time."

Li Yao didn't speak, just took out an old-fashioned push-button mobile phone from his pocket.

Chen Jiang said unhappily: "I don't need a mobile phone, so don't spend money on me."

Li Yao took out another one.

Li Yao said: "In the future, if you have something to do, call me anytime."

Chen Jiang was so happy that he was crazy. A few days ago, he was still thinking that he didn't want to wait for Li Yao to appear in the way of prayer. He wanted to use a method to make an appointment with Li Yao, and now it has come true.

Li Yao returned the remaining 2000 yuan to Chen Jiang. Chen Jiang didn't want it, and he didn't want it even if he died. For the first time, he said harsh words to Li Yao: "If you don't want it, I will never see you again!"

Li Yao looked at him, said "Oh" lightly, then put the money back into Chen Jiang's pocket, turned around and left.

"Hey hey!" Chen Jiang ran over anxiously, "Don't go!"

Li Yao asked: "Did you not see me anymore?"

Chen Jiang explained to Li Yao angrily: "I was talking in anger, why don't you know how to talk in anger?"

"I don't understand." Li Yao said, "Why do you have to see me?"

"Because I love you!"

After Chen Jiang finished speaking, a gust of sweet wind blew by.

But the concrete road under his feet, the small green grass on the side of the street, and the passers-by brushing against him have not changed in any way.

Only Li Yao's heart suddenly slowed down.

Li Yao lowered his head, withdrew the money that had just been stuffed into Chen Jiang's pocket, then turned his head and said, "Don't lose your mobile phone, it's not done with an ID card, it can't be replaced."

Li Yao hasn't come to Chen Jiang for a while, but Chen Jiang is no longer afraid of not being able to find Li Yao, because they send some text messages every day, and occasionally when there is no one at home, Chen Jiang will secretly call Li Yao Telephone.

When Chen Jiang graduated from junior high school, he invited Li Yao to come to school, but Li Yao didn't agree, so Chen Jiang said, "Then I'll find you later."

At that time, Li Yao already had a permanent residence.

It was the bridge hole that Jing Jue and Pei Yin discovered later. There were more and more things inside, including pillows, bedding, toothbrushes, towels, and a few changes of clothes.

There is an artificial washbasin less than 1000 meters away from the bridge hole, which supplies water all year round. Li Yao usually goes there to wash, and takes his clothes there to wash in the middle of the night.

There is no way to take a bath there. Li Yao will go to the public bathhouse about once a week, basically before meeting Chen Jiang.

His toothbrush was given by Chen Jiang, and it was the same color as Chen Jiang. Chen Jiang insisted that it belonged to a couple, but Li Yao poked him, saying that he was just buying one and getting one free.

Li Yao's towel is also Chen Jiang's, with Doraemon printed on it, Chen Jiang said he only used it once, and told Li Yao not to dislike it.

Later, more and more, Chen Jiang's clothes, shoes, food, things, all the things that Chen Jiang had no reason to use, he secretly gave to Li Yao.

But Li Yao didn't live in a greenhouse after all, even if Chen Jiang wanted to treat him well, Li Yao's body didn't grow up.When Chen Jiang was freshman in high school, Li Yao's height was about the same as Chen Jiang's, but his weight was at least fifteen catties lighter than Chen Jiang's.

So later, the clothes Chen Jiang bought for him were all one size smaller than his own. He was afraid that the clothes that were too loose would make Li Yao feel uncomfortable in winter.

Chen Jiang also wanted to give Li Yao a lot of things, but Li Yao said no, he said: "There are too many things, and it is difficult to take them when leaving."

It was then that Chen Jiang knew that Li Yao was leaving.

He asked Li Yao if he could not leave, but after thinking about it, he changed it to say: "Then you must go to a good place."

Chen Jiang and Li Yao often meet each other, and he goes to a place where no one can find him to meet Li Yao at all times when he will not be found.

But he never spent the night with Li Yao, because Chen Jiang had to go home, and he didn't have any friends who could confess that he slept at a classmate's house overnight.

So although Chen Jiang knew Li Yao very well, he didn't spend a whole day with Li Yao. He knew that Li Yao was wandering, but he didn't know how Li Yao was wandering.

The holiday before entering high school was the happiest. After the holiday homework was gone, Chen Jiang had a lot of time to find Li Yao.

It was midsummer at that time, and Chen Jiang said that his classmates organized a one-day spring outing. He took the money, turned around and found Li Yao under the 30-degree sun, and then spent a day with Li Yao in the bridge hole.

Li Yao said: "I'm too young here, next time we meet in another place, you decide the place, I'll go find you."

Chen Jiang didn't think it was too hot, he insisted on rubbing against Li Yao, and said while rubbing, "It's not small."

Li Yao has no identity, and even if he has money, he can't stay in a hotel. Small hotels don't need proof, but Li Yao doesn't want Chen Jiang to go to such a place.

So Li Yao chose a place that didn't require an ID card - a high-end bathing place.

The one Li Yao usually went to take a bath only cost five yuan, but on Chen Jiang's birthday, Li Yao bought two 50 yuan bath tickets.

Chen Jiang confronted Li Yao Chicheng for the first time, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't dare to take off his pants after standing in the changing room for a long time.

Although Li Yao is skinny, he is particularly good-looking with his tight muscles. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys rarely have such a figure. Most of them are like Chen Jiang, who are white and milky, and have a little belly.

Chen Jiang hooked his toes and said, "Don't laugh at me."

That was the second time Li Yao smiled at Chen Jiang. Li Yao touched his belly and said, "Hurry up, there won't be any room next to each other."

When Chen Jiang heard that he couldn't stay with Li Yao, he immediately let go of his shame, took off his pants and locked the closet, and walked into the bath with Li Yao naked.

Li Yao helped Chen Jiang rub his back, but his strength was useless, a little bit of strength resulted in two red marks, Chen Jiang was sitting on a small stone bench, biting his lip and not speaking.

Li Yao returned the bath towel to him, and said, "It's better to pay someone to wash it for you."

Chen Jiang shook his head and said, "No, rub it for me."

Chen Jiang mingled his fingers together and said to Li Yao: "Don't let others touch me."

Chen Jiang was too white and his skin was very good, so Li Yao could only wash him very lightly. After Chen Jiang was done with by Li Yao, he stood up with a face reddened by steam and said: " It's my turn."

Li Yao looked at Chen Jiang's unsteady gait, smiled, and said, "Your strength is better than tickling."

Chen Jiang refused to accept it, and said, "I'm so strong!"

Not half a minute after finishing speaking, Chen Jiang was wrapped in a bath towel by Li Yao and sent out of the shower area. Li Yao pinched Chen Jiang's flushed face and said to him, "Sit here and wait for me, I'll be fast."

Chen Jiang nodded earnestly, and when Li Yao came out after washing, he was really wrapped in a bath towel, sitting motionless without even changing his clothes.

Li Yao looked at the white and tender calf under the towel, and smiled again.

Since then, he often laughs.

Chen Jiang and Li Yao took a very effortless shower, and then they changed into steam clothes and went upstairs to eat the buffet that came with the ticket.

Chen Jiang went to find a place first, and the waiter asked Li Yao if he wanted to add a piece of steak for twenty. Li Yao had never eaten steak, but he had heard from Chen Jiang, so Li Yao ordered one for Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang saw that the waiter only brought up a piece of steak, without asking anything, he cut half of it and gave it to Li Yao.

Chen Jiang said to Li Yao: "It's so good to meet you, I had a very happy birthday."

Li Yao didn't answer, just lowered his head, and ate the first mouthful of synthetic low-quality steak in his life.

He couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but seeing Chen Jiang eating happily, he also thought it was delicious.

Before entering high school, Chen Jiang met Li Yao again coquettishly.

——That was the first time Chen Jiang kissed Li Yao.

Chen Jiang told Li Yao the address of his school, Li Yao nodded and said, "Well, I checked, No. [-] Middle School is a very good school."

Chen Jiang said: "Of course! I'm here to ask for a reward!"

Li Yao asked: "What do you want?"

Chen Jiang said, "Kiss you."

When Chen Jiang said this, he was not shy at all, he looked at Li Yao upright, as if this request was reasonable, and it was not normal for Li Yao to shrink back.

Li Yao thought about it, didn't hesitate for too long, and quickly said, "Close your eyes."

Chen Jiang did so, and after a while, someone touched his lips lightly.

Chen Jiang opened his eyes, licked his lips, and said shamelessly, "It doesn't count, it's you kissing me, not me kissing you, let's do it again."

So Li Yao let him kiss again.

They are getting closer and closer. Chen Jiang told Li Yao many times that he likes him. He said he likes and also loves him. Li Yao corrected him that this is not love, but Chen Jiang didn't listen. Give it all to you, this is love."

Li Yao didn't argue with Chen Jiang, but he made a request to Chen Jiang. Li Yao told Chen Jiang: "We must make friends in high school."

Chen Jiang was full of reluctance, so Li Yao coaxed him: "If you hand it in, I will give you a reward."

So Chen Jiang bit the bullet, and after a classmate accosted him several times, he had a hard time explaining something to him.

That classmate was the boy who came to play with Chen Jiang during the power outage. Chen Qian saw them talking before the parents' meeting, and thought they knew each other very well.

Chen Jiang said five sentences to the boy, and each sentence didn't go well, but the boy had a big heart and didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Chen Jiang insisted on meeting Li Yao after school, so Li Yao had to wait for him at the bus stop Chen Jiang passed by.

As soon as Chen Jiang got off the car, he threw himself into Li Yao's arms and said to him, "It's too difficult to make friends!"

Li Yao patted his head and said, "I know, you did a good job."

In this way, Li Yao used one reward after another to make Chen Jiang make three friends in the first month after entering the freshman year of high school.

Chen Jiang is a person who doesn't say anything in reverse, he told Li Yao: "I like you so much, I want to see you every day."

He also said: "If my parents quarrel again, I will run away from home, and then we will wander together."

That was the first time Li Yao made a bad face with him. Li Yao pushed away Chen Jiang who was asking for a kiss, and told him: "No, if you run away from home, I will never see you."

Chen Jiang still didn't understand, and asked aggrievedly: "Why?"

"Because you are different." Li Yao said, "I can live without a family, but you can't."

"Chen Jiang, you should never live a life of nomads."

"Never."
