"What can I do? I don't know what to do? I can't help it. It doesn't matter whether you quit or not. The only difference is how long you quit. You quit for half a year or two years, no matter how much you quit. Years, it's all there! What can I do, I also think, I can't do it hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Lin Huai froze in place. He had seen what the woman said in the reporter's report. This was the end of that report. There was no word about quitting the drug, only how long the drug had been quit. It changed the protein of the brain , it is everywhere, he was dissatisfied with this reporter at the time, and naturally felt that this pessimistic ending was not suitable for reporting, it was too pessimistic.

But now, he couldn't say words of encouragement, and nothing seemed to hold water.

"Thank you today. We will take care of it here. It's late now, and City X needs to take some time to go back." At this moment, the policeman the boy knew well came out and said to him.

It was only then that Lin Huai remembered that he had no money and no mobile phone. He hesitated for a few seconds and told the other party about his troubles. The latter readily lent him the money. Lin Huai asked for the other party's phone number, and he will The note was stuffed into his pocket, and he walked straight to a taxi. The taxi had been parked on the motorway for a long time. It violated the regulations in front of the police station. It was really fun to watch.

Before Lin Huai had time to report the address, the driver asked, "Comrade policeman, is that woman a drug addict?"

"...That's right, don't watch the excitement, do you want to go to City X?" Lin Huai said.

The driver promised, and Lin Huai reported his address. He was so preoccupied with drug use that he didn't realize that he had reported his home address. The driver's next sentence caught his attention: "This kind of woman is hopeless, and there is no way she can do it." The child should be with her, rather than sent to an orphanage."

As a bystander, this remark was fine, but Lin Huai was keenly aware of the trembling in the driver's tone and the anger he couldn't hide.

"Why are you so clear?"

Even if the other party's relatives took drugs, it was a private matter. Lin Huai didn't think he would tell others easily, but probably because he was a policeman, the driver immediately opened up the conversation.

"Because the woman who gave birth to me took drugs." The anger in the driver's tone deepened, "Repent, cry, sorry, I have seen it countless times, you don't believe it, but looking at her, you are still shaken, and you can see When it comes to hope, things seem to be getting better, but in the end you find her sneaking in the corner again, and nothing changes in the end."

"..." Lin Huai didn't know how to continue the conversation, because subconsciously, he was still resisting the statement that the woman remembered the report - after taking drugs, even if you quit drugs, there is no turning back.

"Do you think I hate her very much?" The driver noticed Lin Huai's reaction, and he continued, "She threw me into the orphanage when I was young, but she kept me in the orphanage, I don't hate her, but I was adopted, my adoptive parents treated me very well, I also made friends, and my life was on the right track, but she suddenly appeared, crying and begging me to forgive, saying that she Will repent, she took me out, she was really good that day, that time, I forgave her, I hated her, and I also hated me who believed in her so easily, I chose her and lived with her, I I would rather she die in some corner than reappear in front of me when I was eight years old."

"..."

Seeing that Lin Huai still didn't speak, the driver felt his brain rush: "Do you think I'm vicious and said such things to my own mother?? I wish she would have died long ago."

"...No," Lin Huai denied, "I just don't know what to say. I heard too much about drug use today."

What the driver seems to need is just such a sentence. He needs someone who doesn’t think he is cruel. He continued to talk about his mother’s story along the way, how he worried about his mother’s relapse, his His mother stole his tuition, someone else helped his mother find a job, and everything was ruined again.

Lin Huai listened quietly, but just listening, he was more depressed than before. He originally wanted to try to comfort the other party, but he soon realized that the driver just wanted to find someone to talk to, so it is better to pay more attention to the road conditions .

When the car stopped and got out of the car, he was stunned when he saw the lights on in the villa in front of him. He completely forgot about Chen Shen just now, and also forgot that he was avoiding him.

Lin Huai smiled wryly, although after saying those words, he wanted to get into the ground at that time, but he was right, he liked him, but he didn't like him that much.

He was planning to run away, but now he obviously missed the opportunity, it was so late, Chen Shen must be at home, Lin Huai decided to resign himself to fate.

And right now, perhaps because of today's incident, he doesn't seem to care so much about himself and Chen Shen. He glanced at the villa and walked to the gate. Before he stretched out his hand, someone opened the door ahead of time. At the door, Lin Huai met him steadily.

Unexpectedly, this person was not Chen Shen, but Wen Li'an.

"Why are you here?

Before Lin Huai could speak, Wen Li'an asked first, "Why is there no one answering your phone?"

"I lost my phone," Lin Huai said. He noticed that Wen Li'an seemed to be overly anxious, and he also became nervous. Could it be that something happened to the eldest brother, "Did something happen?"

"No, just come and have a look." Wen Li'an denied.

"Then how did you come in?" Lin Huai looked at the villa and did not see Chen Shen, but he was not sure if the other party was at home. Wasn't it Chen Shen who opened the door?

"I used some methods to get in, and I'll wait here for your return." Wen Li'an didn't answer directly.

It seems that Chen Shen hasn't come back yet, but Wen Li'an... The corner of Lin Huai's mouth twitched, good guy, knowing the law, he came to the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea, he noticed that Chen Shen's cup was still on the shelf There were fresh water stains, and he glanced at the table, which was only for guests, that is, Wen Li'an's cup.

"Did you use the cup here?" Lin Huai said.

"I took it and washed it, but I couldn't tell if it was your cup, uncle. Then I noticed a disinfection cabinet, so I took the cup from it."

"That belongs to Chen Shen, it's better not to move." Lin Huai sat down.

"Then if he doesn't move, you can move me?"

"..."

Lin Huai was silent. He knew that he should answer generously, just disinfect it later, but his instinct made him refuse, but Wen Li'an asked this question on purpose. Seeing his expression, Wen Li'an laughed directly.

Seeing Wen Li'an laughing there, Lin Huai took a sip of tea expressionlessly, and then remembered the matter of paying back the money: "By the way, you open Alipay, and I want to pay back the fare."

Wen Li'an handed the mobile phone to Lin Huai. Lin Huai entered the other party's mobile phone number, then entered the amount, then handed the mobile phone to Wen Li'an and asked the other party to enter the password. After repaying the money, Lin Huai also sent a text message.

After finishing everything, Lin Huai always felt that the way Wen Li'an looked at him today was a bit strange, and he frowned: "Why have you been staring at me today? Could it be that you really moved my cup?"

Wen Li'an was taken aback, and immediately waved his hand in denial: "What do you say, I don't do this kind of thing behind people's backs."

"But uncle, I lost my mobile phone, why don't you give your mobile phone a call first?"

"..." It turned out that it was because of this that Wen Li'an felt strange, so he kept staring at himself. Lin Huai thought for a while and replied, "The phone is probably with Chen Shen, and he will know when he comes back."

"Speaking of Chen Shen," Wen Li'an's tone suddenly became serious, "I asked you before, when do you plan to leave, do you know?"

"...If I say that I know what to do and I don't intend to leave, do you think I'm making excuses for myself?"

"...No, I want to hear from you first." Wen Li'an blinked.

"..." Lin Huai didn't speak right away, he leaned his body back to give himself a back to rely on, and he organized his words for a while, "When I first came here, apart from Chen Shen's safety, I I really didn't think about anything else... Although Chen Shen may not like it, but for me, it is indeed for Chen Shen."

"Chen Shen is really special to me," I have already told the client today about this, but now it is not as embarrassing as it was at the beginning, Lin Huai continued, "It's so special that I didn't know what to do at first." How to face him, everything about him is too vivid and dazzling, because I have no experience, I can't figure out my own thoughts, and during this time, I have experienced many things that I have never seen before, and many of them are nothing Good things, I find them boring, boring, ironic, and inferior, but I don't want to avoid them, and I don't want to escape, I have thought that maybe because of Chen Shen's presence, everything becomes more relaxed and happy." With these words, he not only It's for Wen Li'an, and it's for himself.

"It's just that some things have been said, but I have become more clear. Even without Chen Shen, I will stay for a while. There are many things I don't understand. Maybe I haven't understood in my life, but I want to try To understand, use my own eyes to see things that I have not discovered, use my ears to listen to words that may not be of value, but this process will be lonely." Lin Huai tilted his head, and now his heart is unexpectedly Calm, "For me, Chen Shen is indeed very important. If he is close to others, I will feel uncomfortable because of his weird possessive desire, but after I realized it, I found that there is nothing abnormal about it. I hope he can live well, I like him very much..."

"It's just that there are many things in the world that are more important than Chen Shen."
