MVP in the next examination room

"Our city's public security has recently uncovered a child abduction case and rescued three abducted children. At present, seven suspects have been arrested and brought to justice. Crowded places are high-frequency crime spots for criminal suspects. I would like to remind the audience..."

In the car radio, the announcer of the news channel is broadcasting the city C news in a straight-forward manner.

The interior of the car was already quiet, but this sudden news broadcast slowed down the slow air flow in the car.

The driver switched the channel calmly, the stern news broadcast came to an abrupt end, and soothing light music streamed from the stereo.

Sitting in the middle seat of the car, Fang Qi and his wife turned their heads slightly at the same time, and glanced at the rear seats.

The two children sat quietly in the back, their postures and expressions didn't change at all because of the news that was poured into their ears just now.

Yuan Che still stared out of the window with his head sideways, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tang Ran drew the curtain on his side, leaned back on the neck pillow, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

Mrs. Fang frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Che a few more times with worry.

The black commercial vehicle finally stopped slowly at the gate of C City Women's Prison.

"You don't need to accompany me, it's cold, go back to the car." Yuan Che turned his head and whispered to Mrs. Fang, who insisted on accompanying him for this part of the journey, when he checked his documents and was about to pass through the security gate.

Yuan Che still didn't address her when he spoke to her.

It's definitely wrong to call him "auntie", but he really can't say "mother".

The separation of more than ten years cannot be easily bridged by a certificate of appraisal.

Mrs. Fang sighed lightly.If it wasn't for the fact that she and her husband were not qualified to visit, she really wanted to accompany Yuan Che in.

She stretched out her hand and squeezed Yuan Che's hand into her palm.

It is impossible not to worry.

The court opened that day, and the two of them sat in the plaintiff's seat and met Dong Meng not far or near.Days of interrogation and detention made the woman haggard, and when she sat in the dock, her face was frighteningly pale.

If it weren't for knowing what she had done over the years, the jury members would hardly be able to connect her with the heinous criminal involved in the multi-county trafficking case.

The day of the court session was a school day, and the couple didn't want Yuan Che to attend, face to face with the woman they hated to the bone.

Therefore, from the day Dong Meng was detained until today, Yuan Che has not seen her.

Mrs. Fang suppressed her complicated emotions, and said to Yuan Che in a discussing tone: "...Do you have to meet? If you have something to say, can someone bring it to her?"

The best antidote for wounds to heal is time and forgetting. Mrs. Fang deeply believed that she intended to take Yuan Che away and return to City B, and never see this person again.

But to her surprise, when the couple mentioned this matter to Yuan Che yesterday, Yuan Che was unwilling to go back to City B with them.

Fang Qi didn't show much surprise.

The habits I have developed in the past 17 years and the entanglement here, how can I just leave when I leave.What's more, he is currently in the second year of high school, and if he transfers rashly, it may also have a negative impact on his studies.

Yuan Che smiled at her reassuringly, pulled his hand away little by little, lowered his eyelashes, and said in a low but firm voice, "I have something to talk to her face to face, and I will come out in 10 minutes."

After all, Mrs. Fang couldn't hold him back. Looking at Yuan Che's back, she smiled wryly to herself.

They didn't know much about how Dong Meng had treated him these years. Although she knew that Dong Meng was arrested and brought to justice, and Yuan Che had the power to report and testify, she still had an indescribable fear in her heart.

------------

Wearing handcuffs, Dong Meng appeared in the meeting room, and when he saw the people sitting there, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke first.The silence lasted for a while, Yuan Che's eyes fell on the silver handcuffs around her wrists, and then moved back to her face that seemed to have aged a few years: "You don't seem to be surprised."

"Isn't it surprising." The corner of Dong Meng's mouth was slightly mocking, and he paused and said, "It's not my own, it's different after all."

Her answer and Yuan Che's question are not on the same channel.

Yuan Che also smiled slightly, but there was no tenderness in his eyes: "Then when you stole me from there, you should have expected today."

Yuan Che's "no surprise" just now meant that Dong Meng saw him appear in the interview room, and there was no surprise or other emotions on his face, but Dong Meng answered the wrong question. The meaning in the words was to testify against Yuan Che's report and to be honest with her. There is nothing surprising about the crime.

"Do you know?" Dong Meng put away the strange arc around his mouth, leaned back on the back of the chair, raised his chin slightly, and dragged his tone a little slowly, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't know that you were raped today. In which small valley are they sold?"

Yuan Che's tone was cold: "So, I still have to thank you?"

In the child abduction case in city B that year, only one child was finally rescued by the police. In fact, the missing children were far more than the two of them.The rest were transferred by other routes.

Among these children, Yuan Che's age is the closest to Dong Meng's.

Dong Meng was silent for a moment, her eyes slowly fell on a certain void, and then she stared at that void and gritted her teeth: "—for so many years, I have treated you as my own child, is this how you repay me?"

Yuan Che quietly looked into her somewhat absent-minded eyes, curled the corners of his mouth ironically, and said nonchalantly: "After so many years of acting, have you really fooled yourself?"

When Dong Meng heard his words, his eyes regained focus, and he said slowly, "What do you mean?"

When Yuan Che was a child, she always prevented him from meeting his father, for fear that his father would speak quickly while drunk and reveal the truth to Yuan Che;

She used this child who was about the same age as her son to make up for the trauma of losing her son, and secretly deprived other mothers of their hard-earned hope.

Yuan Che looked up at her coldly: "You are not worthy of being a mother."

------------

Fang Qi and his wife are going back to City B tomorrow. The group has accumulated too many affairs, and they need to go back for approval and sign.

Mrs. Fang plans to spend time with her son today.Since Yuan Che was still a little unfamiliar with her, Mrs. Fang even specially called Mr. Tang's son, hoping that this way he could play more freely and happily.

Just now, after Yuan Che's figure completely disappeared from Mrs. Fang's sight, she returned to the warm car, looked lovingly at Tang Ran who was leaning on the back seat and playing with her mobile phone, and asked him: "Ranran, Xiao Che What hobbies does he usually have, and what is his favorite?"

——Although it sounded awkward, Mrs. Fang gave up the nickname that made her son unfamiliar and uncomfortable, and called him Xiao Che instead.

Tang Ran was playing a game, and couldn't take his eyes off the screen for a long time. He raised his head and smiled politely at the other wife, and then gave a short and powerful answer to the question "What is Yuan Che's favorite?": "Me."

Mrs. Fang: "??"

Fang Qi laughed in a low voice.

After finishing this, Tang Ranpi put away the phone, coughed lightly and answered his own words: "I think his hobby is doing questions."

There is also forcing the boyfriend to do the problem, which is horrific.

"That can't be done all the time, you have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest," Mrs. Fang thought for a while, and said to Fang Qi and Tang Ran, "How about going to the mall for a while? I want to buy something for the child."

Although Fang Qi didn't like shopping, when he heard that he bought it for his son, he had no objection, and Tang Ran had no objection.

Yuan Che said he would go in for 10 minutes, and it was really 10 minutes later that he walked out of the tall iron gate of the women's prison.

It was his own intention to come to see Dong Meng.

Those dusty pasts are not so easy to forget, but he is determined to draw an end to those gloomy days after today's side.

After all, people have to learn to look forward.

After Yuan Che got into the car, Fang Qi and his wife tacitly didn't ask any more questions, they just raised their hands and gently stroked Yuan Che's back when he passed by.

"Let's go, take a good rest today," Mrs. Fang said with a slight smile, "I'll take you all shopping, and then we'll have lunch outside together at noon."

Mrs. Fang believes that shopping is the best way to vent negative emotions, and shopping regardless of price is even more effective. Her original intention is to let Yuan Che buy whatever he wants without thinking about other things. Moreover, Fang Qi is here today. Can be used as a wallet.

There is a faint posture of treating his son like a daughter.

In a famous brand shopping mall in City C, the clerk, with a decent smile on his face, recommends outfits for the youngest boy in the "family of four" with a cold face: "This jacket is a classic of our brand. It’s also a new model that just came out this season, and it’s a little different from last season’s cuff decoration, and the lower body can be paired with this gray denim, or it can be paired with a casual style…”

Yuan Che's figure looks thin, but his proportions are just right, a natural clothes hanger.Mrs. Fang saw that her son looked good in everything, so she drove him to the fitting room to try on one set after another.

Tang Ran was lying half-lying on the sofa beside him, watching Mrs. Fang play the live-action version of Miracle Nuannuan for fun.

Yuan Che was not interested in things like shopping for clothes, and finally couldn't help but said to his wife: "It doesn't cost so much... I can't wear so many."

Mrs. Fang was not happy when she heard this: "What are you talking about? Why is it called a waste of money? I love to buy it for my son. Go try it quickly, or I will get angry."

Fang Qi smiled and saw that he was reluctant but couldn't find anything to refute, and waved to him, and when Yuan Che came over, he lowered his voice and said to him: "You don't want to try anymore, do you? I have a way, just call Dad to help you."

After speaking, he folded his arms and leaned back on the sofa with a smile.

Yuan Che's ears turned red visibly with the naked eye.

Fang Qi sat on the spot calmly, looking at him expectantly and encouragingly.

Yuan Che wavered and struggled for a long time, and finally made a choice between continuing to try on clothes and taking a rest, and called out softly: "Dad..."

Fang Qi had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, but on his face he just smiled and rubbed his head, then got up, and walked to his wife: "The child is too embarrassed, let's stop staring at him here, let him and Xiao Go shopping by yourself, I will accompany you to look at the jewelry and bags over there."

Mrs. Fang always loved shopping and shopping. After some hesitation, she couldn't hold back her husband's invitation. She told Yuan Che and Tang Ran to go shopping and buy whatever they liked, and then left the counter with her husband.

As soon as Mrs. Fang left, Yuan Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned the clothes she had stuffed into him to the clerk, and sat down next to Tang Ran.

Tang Ran held back a smile and handed him a bottle of drink, stood up and took a sweater, came back and gestured on Yuan Che, imitating Mrs. Fang's tone and said to him: "Honey, this looks good on you, mom's You can’t go wrong with your vision, go and try~”

Sure enough, Yuan Che's ears were a little red again, and he kicked him with a cold face. Tang Ran jumped away nimbly, and leaned on the sofa beside him with a smile.

Yuan Che said with a cold face, "We haven't fought for a long time, have we?"

Tang Ran pretended to be scared and hid aside: "Baby! When did you learn to fight! Mom doesn't even know!"

"..." Yuan Che couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at it.

Fang Qi and his wife left for about half an hour, and when they returned to the counter here, the clerk had already packed their clothes, and the two children were sitting on the sofa and playing.

Mrs. Fang went over to look at the wrapped clothes, and found that they were the first few clothes she tried on when she first came here, and there was nothing else.

Mrs. Fang: "...I mean, I want you to go shopping in other stores and finally meet here. Didn't you go to other stores to have a look?"

Yuan Che didn't think about how to explain it to her, and was a little at a loss. Instead, Tang Ran smiled and explained to her calmly: "We boys go shopping like this. We like to shop in one store and do one-stop shopping."

Mrs. Fang was dubious, Fang Qi smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Seeing that it's getting late, Mrs. Fang plans to let her son go today: "Didn't Xiaoran try it? How many sets will Auntie help you choose?"

Tang Ran was agitated, and refused repeatedly: "...No, no, no, thank you, auntie."

Mrs. Fang looked at the big bags and small bags in her husband's hand, and found that her three-ten-minute record far surpassed her son's one-hour record. She couldn't help but sighed: "How can you save money for Mom like this."

Fang Qi answered naturally: "Follow me."

Mrs. Fang walked over empty-handed, put one arm on Yuan Che's shoulder, and the other on Tang Ran, and said with a brisk smile, "Okay, then let's fight next time and go to lunch first."

After a pause, he added an emphasis to Yuan Che, "Buy whatever you like, don't save us, you know?"

"...Well," Yuan Che half-drooped his eyelids, felt a little stiff in Mrs. Fang's arms, and replied embarrassingly, and then his voice could not be lowered, "Thank you...Mom."

Mrs. Fang's expression changed suddenly, she stopped in her footsteps, ecstatically pressed her son's shoulder, turned him around, and faced herself: "What did you just say? Say it again"

Watched by her fiery eyes, the redness on Yuan Che's ears gradually spread to his face, he pursed the corners of his lips, in the end he was embarrassed to repeat it a second time.

While Mrs. Fang was anxiously waiting, another boy came from behind and answered generously: "—Thank you, Mom!"

The voice is loud and crisp.

Mrs. Fang: "..."

However, Tang Ran's voice successfully resolved the embarrassment of the scene, Fang Qi smiled and came up to smooth things over: "Okay, we have another son, let's pack it up and go back to City B tonight."

Mrs. Fang came back to her senses and stopped forcing Yuan Che, and walked out with the two children in her arms, smiling like a flower on her face.

On the way to the restaurant, the heat on the side of Yuan Che's face due to Tang Ran's loud "Mom" has not subsided. Tang Ran, who has been looking down at Tang Ran, who has been fiddling with the phone, stares hard at Tang Ran if there is any substance. Dye your face.

If Tang Ran felt something, he raised his face to look at Yuan Che, raised his phone screen and shook it, and explained in a low voice, "I'm picking the profile picture."

After the two reconciled that day, Tang Ran forgot about the WeChat avatar and never changed it. Thinking about it today, he was picking and choosing from the phone photo album, and he couldn't make up his mind about which one to change.

Yuan Che snorted coldly, and said teasingly, "You don't need to change it, the one that hugs the dog is fine."

"How can we do that?" Tang Ran leaned towards Yuan Che, smiled brightly, and whispered in a low voice, "Let's go back and take another picture."

Yuan Che: "?"

Tang Ran coughed lightly: "Just shoot... I'll hold you, and you can hold Oreo."
