[Please answer 1988] Sangmundong scandal

Liu Donglong accidentally slipped his mouth last night, and it happened to be heard by Cui Ze who had just returned home. After some questioning, Cui Ze found out why Liu Mingxi was grounded. The recent student movement has something to do with it.

student movement...

Cui Ze hurried to the living room, turned out all the recent newspapers, and glanced at the relevant reports on them. As he read the contents of the newspapers one after another, the expression on his face became more and more serious.

What kind of role did she play in it...

One day in mid-November, it was late at night, there was light rain in the night sky, and the wind in late autumn and early winter was as cool as bones.

As usual, Cui Ze walked back to Fenghuangtang alley on the sound of twelve o'clock in the evening. He had just walked to the corner in front of the convenience store when he saw a person standing in the telephone booth in front of him. look familiar.

Cui Ze took two steps forward involuntarily, and took a closer look through the streetlights. The person in the phone booth was Liu Mingxi, who had been grounded in recent days.

Liu Mingxi held the phone in one hand, and wrote something on the table with the other hand, and would nod from time to time when facing the phone.

If it was before, Cui Ze would probably hurry up to say hello, but now, Cui Ze doesn't think Liu Mingxi would want to meet him here.

Cui Ze put away his umbrella, found a dark corner to hide, and kept his eyes on Liu Mingxi in the phone booth.

After a while, Liu Mingxi finally hung up the phone. She opened the umbrella outside the phone booth, looked around first, as if to make sure of something, and then walked towards home with the umbrella.

Cui Ze waited for her to go far before slowly following her.

The next day

At dawn, Cui Ze went to the chess academy.

There were many more people on Wednesday than on weekends. When he arrived at the chess academy, several people were already in the practice room.

Cui Ze sat down at his fixed position. Instead of taking out the chessboard directly, he closed his eyes for a while, and then opened his eyes after almost a while. He picked up the chess record that he hadn't finished practicing yesterday and continued to practice.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Cui Ze stood up from the chair and moved his body a little to relieve the shoulder discomfort caused by sitting for a long time.

Cui Ze looked out of the window. The lush trees are much more depressed now, and they look even more desolate in the cold wind. The sky is dark and gloomy, and there is a sense of sight that the storm is about to come. For some reason, he always feels a little disturbed.

After a simple lunch, Cui Ze left the practice room and came to a convenience store not far from the Chess Academy, ready to buy some coffee to bring. When he was paying, he heard the real-time news on the TV.

"MBC reported in real time that at one o'clock this afternoon, nearly [-] college students gathered near the Keledong Training Institute in Songpa, and the student demonstrations intensified..."

"This is your money."

"Thank you." Cui Ze came back to his senses and took the change from the cashier.

Carrying the coffee he bought, Cui Ze didn't go upstairs directly, but stopped at the entrance of the Chess Academy.

She...shouldn't be what he thought, right?

After struggling for a while, Cui Ze still couldn't let go of his heart. He decided to take a look, and only hoped that the result would not be the worst one.

It's not a vacation day, without the voices of the children, the whole alley is quite deserted.

Cui Ze got off the taxi and ran all the way to the alley. On the bench in front of the house, the three sisters in the alley were talking about each other's daily life.

Bao La's mother put the picked bean sprouts into the vegetable basket, and when she looked up, she saw Cui Ze who was panting, "Why is A Ze back? Didn't you go to the Chess Academy?"

The other two aunts were also deeply curious.

"Yeah, why is Aze here at this time?"

"Why are you sweating, what happened?"

"I'm in a hurry." Cui Ze was sweating profusely from running, and pushed the door of Liu's house, which was locked, "Auntie, did you see Nuna?"

"Did you explain Xi?"

"Yes." Cui Ze nodded quickly.

"I didn't see it." Shan Shan shook her head.

"By the way, I haven't seen Mingxi these two days. I thought she was at school." Paula's mother also expressed her ignorance.

"Mingxi, I saw her go out at noon, she was still carrying her bag, she seemed in a hurry." Zhenghuan's mother was curious at first, and just about to ask her, Liu Mingxi left in a hurry.

Cui Ze sighed helplessly, the last thing he expected might still happen.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Cui Ze didn't delay anymore, bowed to the aunts, and was about to take a step first, "Then I'll go first."

Cui Ze, who has always had underdeveloped motor nerves, did his best, ran to the side of the road as fast as he could, and stopped a taxi.

"Central Political Training Institute of a famous political party in Keledong, Songpo District, please hurry up."

Even though Cui Ze had arrived at the training institute in the fastest way, he was still one step late.

"—the ruling party resigns!"

"—the ruling party resigns!"

The air was filled with a pungent smell, and the eyes could hardly be opened. The closer to the main entrance of the training institute, the louder the shouts became.

"...At around 10:25 pm, a large-scale demonstration took place at the Central Political Research Institute of a famous political party. The Seoul local government dispatched and ordered the arrest of the president of the student union Zhao Xiong and related leaders, a total of [-] people... "

The police expelled most of the student groups who came here to demonstrate by means of gas/tear/shells, and the senior officials ordered the arrest of their leaders, and registered and educated other participating students.

When Cui Ze found Liu Mingxi at the registration gate, she was not in a good condition. Her calf seemed to be injured, and she had some difficulty walking. Her neat ponytail was scattered in a mess, and her right face was stained with gray. The corners of her lips looked closer. Some bruises, a lot of blood stains on the bare/exposed arms, I don't know if it's hers or someone else's.

"... Azer."

……

Cui Ze's eyes were slightly red, and he carefully supported Liu Mingxi's arm, taking every step cautiously, for fear of touching her wound again.

Cui Ze didn't say anything along the way, and Liu Mingxi didn't say anything, he didn't even ask him why he wasn't here, and the two of them went to the hospital in silence.

Liu Mingxi's entire right arm was covered with scrapes, as was her calf, which was obviously left in the chaos. After the nurse treated the scars on her arm and calf, she carefully wrapped them in gauze.

Liu Mingxi took a look at the bandaged wound, then slowly raised his head, just in time to meet Cui Ze's gaze, which was both worried and frightened.Liu Mingxi coughed twice, avoiding his sight, "Why did you come here?"

Cui Ze lowered his eyelids, "I saw it last night, in the phone booth."

Liu Mingxi didn't say anything after hearing this, but lowered his head even lower.

Cui Ze didn't continue talking, and looked out of the window sideways. He didn't know when it started to rain. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, gradually dissipating the pungent gas/tears/bombs.

"Noona, it's raining, it's time to go home."

"En." Liu Mingxi responded softly.

Cui Ze went to a convenience store to buy an umbrella temporarily, and called a taxi to come over. He only got into the car after he settled Liu Mingxi into the car.

When she got home, Liu Mingxi was not sure what kind of situation she was facing, but she knew that it would definitely not end well.

The one next to her alone is already difficult to deal with. Liu Mingxi's peripheral vision has been lingering on Cui Ze. For some reason, she always feels a little guilty.

When Liu Mingxi was still on the way home, Cheng Baola had already arrived home ahead of schedule. Her condition was slightly better than Liu Mingxi's, and she only suffered a slight injury, which was not enough to go to the hospital. She slipped out of her hand and the registration office, so she should be considered lucky, but her luck didn't last long.

"— Paula"

"Ah! Cheng Baola, are you crazy?!"

Here it comes again... Cheng Baola was suddenly agitated, but seeing her mother with tears in her eyes felt a little guilty, so she had to restrain herself as much as possible and let them scold her.

But... What is this and what is it, Cheng Baola couldn't hold back for a while, "--Dad, what do you know!"

Yep, touch and go.

……

The rain stopped.

At the door of the house, Liu Mingxi stood there for a while, reached out and tried to push the door, but it was locked.

It looks like they haven't come back yet.

Liu Mingxi touched the pocket of his coat, it was empty, and he lost the key somewhere.

Cui Ze has been paying attention to Liu Mingxi's expression, he probably guessed the situation, he thought about it and said, "Go to my house first."

Liu Mingxi didn't know what to do, so he could only agree, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Cui Ze supported Liu Mingxi with one hand, and held the medicine in the other, "Be careful."

Cui Ze helped Liu Mingxi into the bedroom to settle down, then turned around and was about to exit the bedroom.

"Where are you going?" Liu Mingxi asked quickly.

Cui Ze stopped, turned his gaze back to Liu Mingxi's face, and explained, "I'm going to pour some water, I won't leave."

"... Oh." Liu Mingxi replied dryly, she always felt that the atmosphere of this conversation was a bit strange.

"I'll be right back." Cui Ze exited the room and closed the door, with a faint smile on his face.

Cui's father was still in the store, Cui Ze went to say hello first, and then ran to the kitchen to find a kettle. After a lot of tossing, Cui Ze returned to the bedroom with a half-filled kettle.

"Nuna..."

As soon as the door was opened, Liu Mingxi avoided the injured hand and fell asleep on his side, his face full of exhaustion.

Cui Ze didn't bother her, put down the kettle, picked up the quilt on the cabinet, carefully avoided the wound, and gently covered her body.

"…Today was tough."
