You’re My Belated Happiness

It was almost eleven o'clock when he returned to the apartment, Ruan Yu fell asleep after taking a shower. Xu Huaisong continued his American work and rest in the living room, working with a notebook.

In the middle of the night, she woke up for a night, opened the door to see that he was sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard, and his expression was very serious.

Xu Huaisong looked up at her, his tight face eased for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter, can't you sleep?"

She shook her head to indicate no, and helped him turn on the ceiling light in the living room: "Are there still many cases in the United States that haven't been finished?"

He said "um" and explained: "But now I'm looking at Zhou Jun's case."

"You are not specializing in criminal matters," Ruan Yu walked over to him and sat down. "These can be handed over to Sister Zhang."

Xu Huaisong fell silent.

Ruan Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes and held his cheeks in confusion. After a while he watched him turn his head to look at her: "This case is a bit like the one my dad handled ten years ago."

She dozed off and ran clean: "How to say?"

Xu Huaisong pursed his lips, looked at the screen and said: "There are no witnesses, and there is also a lack of conclusive evidence. The same clues at the scene point to the only suspect. The same is that the suspect refused to plead guilty, and there is a set that is equivalent to the average person. Dramatic rhetoric."

"What happened to the suspect ten years ago?"

"He was acquitted for lack of evidence and should still be living in Sioux City."

"Where is the murderer?"

Xu Huaisong lowered his head and smiled: "Who knows? Maybe it's the suspect, maybe someone else."

"Ten years without results, the victim's family..."

Ruan Yu did not continue.

Xu Huaisong was silent, and said: "The victim's family determined that the suspect was the real murderer, and my dad was an accomplice who helped him get rid of his crimes, and had troubled our family for two years. If it hadn't been for my dad to move to the United States, it might have been until now. It won't stop."

Ruan Yu, a book writer, was short of words for a while, and didn't know what comfort to say, so he stretched out his hand and touched the back of his hand.

Xu Huaisong turned his head and smiled: "It's nothing. The reaction of the victim's family was too normal. Because my dad's defense did have a very big impact on the course of the case.

Besides, for ordinary Chinese people ten years ago, the presumption of innocence was a very vague concept. You tell them that the sentence is not a turnout or a pit, and that the suspect cannot be found guilty simply because the suspect is the only one. They may not understand it. "

"Even now, when talking empty talks, perhaps many people will recognize the suspect’s human rights and procedural justice, but when the **** tragedy is really in front of them, the emotional tendencies of most bystanders are still It will defeat objective judgment, let alone the victim’s family."

"What about your father?"

"I have been thinking about this question before. I was wondering whether he knows whether the suspect is guilty or innocent. But then I discovered that this question may not have an answer at all."

"Because lawyers are not gods, their cognition may not necessarily be the truth. More often, their'knowing' is also'don't know'. Without the power of God, but they are not allowed to have human feelings, this is what many criminal lawyers have. Situation."

Having said that, Xu Huaisong cast his gaze on the computer screen: "I want to try to walk the path my dad walked, and then tell my mother the answer, although... it's ten years late."

Ruan Yu smiled and rubbed his sleepy eyes, leaning over and holding his arm: "Then I will accompany you."

Xu Huaisong lowered his head and smiled, "Go to sleep first."

She yawned and shook her head, and said, "I'll be fine at home tomorrow. Will you not have jet lag? When it's upside down, we will work and rest in sync."

Xu Huaisong was silent before answering: "In a few days."

Ruan Yu said "Oh", and squinted his eyes to his arm, holding the pillow, and then opened his eyes, the sky was bright, the sun was three poles, and she was on the bed.

I want to know that it must have been not long last night and was carried in by Xu Huaisong.

She jumped out of bed and opened the door, and saw that he was still typing on the keyboard in the same posture as last night.

"Xu Huaisong, you really want your life!" She walked over and circled his computer, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

He looked up: "I slept for a while last night."

"Really?"

"Really, on your bed, you hold me and don't let go."

Ruan Yu turned his head back to the bedroom, grabbing the quilt and sniffing wildly.

Xu Huaisong followed up and said with a smile: "Okay, I lied to you, I am sleeping now."

She turned her head and gritted her teeth and glared at him, and said with anger, "Then just eat breakfast and then go to bed."

Ruan Yu turned around and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Xu Huaisong followed him and said, "I'll make a call."

Do I need to report this too? While holding the pots and pans, she said, "You fight." After speaking, she seemed to think of something, "Wait, who are you calling?"

"Lv Shenglan, let her help pass some information to me."

No wonder it is about to be reported.

Ruan Yu waved his hand: "Hit."

Xu Huaisong dialed the phone in front of her: "Hello, I'm looking for Lu Lu."

Ruan Yu suddenly turned his head: "What did you say?"

Wisdom, such as Huai Song, was also stunned: "What what?"

Lu Shenglan answered the phone, Ruan Yu motioned him to speak first, and then asked after he hung up: "What did you call her just now? Lu Lu?"

"..."

Xu Huaisong choked out and laughed: "It's Lu Lu."

Ruan Yu smiled "hehe", and handed him the hot milk and sandwiches: "I just think this is a weird name, so let me point it out in particular..."

He said "um", turned his head and went to the living room with a smile.

When Xu Huaisong fell asleep, Ruan Yu began to work in the living room. He wrote and revised the scripts of the several scenes he had read and passed them to Huanshi. In the evening, he received a reply, inviting her to participate in the second script meeting tomorrow. It's all day.

She accepted, and after seeing Xu Huaisong slept enough for eight hours, she went to the room to call him, only to hear his mobile phone ringing on the bedside.

He was awakened and began to fumble for the bedside table.

Ruan Yu helped him pick it up: "No remarks, it's the number of Su City."

Before he fully awake, he reacted for a while before saying, "Help me take it."

Ruan Yu answered the phone and heard Xu Huaishi's voice from the other side: "Brother!"

"Huishi? What's the matter with your brother sleeping?"

Xu Huaishi whispered "Ah" because of surprise, "Sister Ruan?"

Ruan Yu began to laugh, "Which older sister will answer your brother's call?"

"No, no! Sister, can you call my brother for me? I'm in the police station."

"Police station?"

Xu Huaisong woke up and sat up, and took the call from Ruan Yu: "Are you making trouble with someone?"

"Brother, it's not that I made the trouble, it was my classmate who had a fight and broke into the police station."

"Then what are you doing with you?"

"Oh, he was because I was fighting with people!"

Xu Huaisong immediately thought of something acutely: "Because of you?"

"I don't know either. Several boys in the same class didn't know what to say about me behind their backs, so my classmates beat them all. Alas, they beat me like a fate on the side of the road, and scared me to death. The police uncle took him to death. My witness also brought it over, but there should be nothing wrong with me."

"Are there teachers and parents coming over to deal with your classmates?"

"It's all on the road, I just told you in advance. Later, the teacher will definitely contact my parents again. Can you help me get around this time?"

"Nothing to do with you, what are you going to do?"

"Wow, brother, you don't know, the classmate who was fighting this time was the one who was arrested in the piano room with me last time. The teacher is going to wrong my young love again! Last time I explained for a long time, my mother will still be suspicious. Come again..."

Xu Huaisong sighed: "Then you will report my number later."

"Good brother! And oh, our final exam is over, and there will be a parent meeting the day after tomorrow. You said this parent meeting, if our mother comes, wouldn't we still have to show off?"

"Xu Huaishi," said Xu Huai-song gritted his teeth, "Don't make an inch of it. I'll go back and forth for four hours to hold a parent meeting for you?"

Xu Huaishi started shouting into the phone: "Sister, are you there next to my sister? Have you seen my brother's savvy face? For this kind of person, just fall in love with him, never marry!"

Xu Huaisong: "..."

The volume of his mobile phone is not low, Ruan Yu had already listened to it, so he smiled and said, "Just go there."

Speaking to compare his lips: Li Zhican.

Obviously, Ruan Yu also thought that the reason why Xu Huaishi's classmate was "furious" might have something to do with Li Shican's news.

If there are rumors in the school, Xu Huaisong should indeed go to find out how to deal with it.

Xu Huaisong said with an "um" and said to Xu Huaishi, "Tell me the exact time." Hanging up the phone, he sighed, "I will be in Suzhou the day after tomorrow. What do you want to do tomorrow?"

Ruan Yu blinked twice. Hearing this, he seemed to have officially initiated a date invitation to her?

She sniffed and said, "I'm going to Huanshi for a meeting tomorrow."

Xu Huaisong was silent, and said after a while, "Then you will go to Suzhou City with me the day after tomorrow."

Ruan Yu didn't know why he was suddenly clinging to people. Thinking that the day after tomorrow would be fine anyway, he went to Suzhou No.1 Middle School with him.

The parent meeting is in the afternoon, because most of the students in the third year of high school will rest in the dormitory because they will occupy the classroom.

Xu Huaisong first went to the lecture hall to listen to the speech, and Ruan Yu went to the student dormitory to find Xu Huaishi. She complained bitterly that her mobile phone had been confiscated by her mother. It was not like hearing any wind, and she was a little relieved.

In the summer, Ruan Yu brought watermelons to the girls in a bedroom. Xu Huaishi greeted a few classmates to eat, then pulled her aside and whispered: "Sister, you can save my life this time. I will be covered by you in the future. What you say is the best thing for my brother."

Ruan Yu smiled and asked her sideways: "How was your classmate after that day?"

"Criticism and education are over."

"Are you injured?"

"Hmm," Xu Huaishi replied while gnawing on the watermelon, "It's okay with the skin trauma. But the way his mother looks at me is like the Korean drama-'Give you five million, leave my son.' You say me Are you wronged? I still don’t know what kind of madness he made to fight with people. Those who were beaten said that it was because of me.

"Didn't you ask him?"

Xu Huaishi shook his head: "I asked, he wouldn't say it. I think I'm probably in a scapegoat."

Ruan Yu lowered his head and pondered secretly. Suddenly he felt that someone had poked his waist, but when he turned his head, he saw that the girls behind him were all gathered around to eat watermelon.

She was surprised when she saw one of the girls winking at her, chin struck out the door.

Ruan Yu understood what was coming, found an excuse to leave, and waited at the end of the dormitory corridor. After a while, she saw the girl walking towards her: "Hello sister, I am the upper bunk of Huai Shi, and Huai Shi's home is Didn’t you know the news?"

Ruan Yu frowned: "You know that too?"

She nodded: "The Huai Shi mobile phone was accepted by my mother, so I didn't read Weibo. Several classmates in the class saw it, because she told us that she met a big star in Hangzhou on Dragon Boat Festival, and we guessed it was. She's gone. There were some rumors in the class, but before it spread, a male student in our class gave it to..."

"For what?"

"Violently suppressed..."

Okay.

Ruan Yu smiled: "Didn't other people discuss this matter?"

"It should be gone. Those gossips won't dare to say anything if they are beaten by the boys in our class."

"Can you tell me, what is his name?"

"Zhao Yi."

When Ruan Yu heard the name, he felt familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered it as if it was the boy she met on the green field last time.

Before leaving, she stuffed a note in the pocket of his school uniform: When graduating, confess to her, you must confess to her.

"Car is lost?"

"Yes, the car is lost."

Ruan Yu blinked, looking at the green field in the distance through the window at the end of the corridor, and suddenly he became bright.
