Chapter 36 Still Hope, You Don't Do That

For more than 20 years, I have never thought of celebrating my birthday. On a whim, I ended up in the police station.

The boy was called Cheng Tao after questioning. He is thirteen years old today. As he said, he has a sister who is two years younger than him, and a father who is paralyzed in bed. Their mother left them in this hopeless place two years ago and disappeared. He is young and can't find any decent work. He usually lives by picking up bottles, turning over trash cans, and occasionally... doing some petty things.

"I don't dare, don't arrest me, I can't go to jail..." The boy sat on the interrogation chair in the interrogation room, handcuffed with silver handcuffs, wiping tears with his arms, "I'm in jail... My sister and father will die... please let me go... I just want to get some change... to buy a card for my sister..."

The young policeman sighed softly at the boy and closed the door of the interrogation room.

"He's less than fourteen years old, and we can't do anything about him. We can only focus on admonitions, scare him, and lock him up for 24 hours." Guiding us to go out, he explained to us in a low voice, "This kind of Children, there are too many here. We will contact relevant organizations to help them, but it is not up to us to decide whether they are willing to accept help and whether they can correct it. I hope we don’t have to meet him here again in the future.”

The young police officer took us all the way to the gate, patted Ji Chenfeng on the shoulder and said "thank you" to him when he parted.

Until I got into the sports car with the smashed windows again, I still didn't understand why this was something to be thankful for, and to whom the young police officer was thanking. he himself? Or that kid?

The wind was pouring in from the broken windows, and it was useless to turn on the heating at full speed. The only thing to do was to reduce the speed as much as possible to reduce the chill.

"I thought he was a liar, but I didn't expect a father and a sister." The two children who smashed my window last time, one was Cheng Tao, and the other was his sister.

Wool stared at a smash, and the car window caught a smash. Such a little bastard, would he really change his mind just because he was locked up for a night and was so scared?

"I met him and his sister on the road before. I wanted to give them some money to buy food, but they didn't want it." The front passenger seat was full of glass shards, so I let Ji Chenfeng sit in the back row. The wind can't blow him.

"Why not?"

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid others will look down on it."

I sneered: "Breaking the window of the car and stealing money can be looked down upon by others?"

"No. So it must be punished. If he can't be scared, he'll go too far and eventually lose control and become a cancer in the city."

When my heart moved, I looked up at the rear-view mirror. When Ji Chenfeng in the mirror said these words, he looked out the window with a light expression on his face, no regrets, and no self-righteousness. He just does what he can and does what he can and can do. It's not to get someone's thanks, and it's not to save someone.

It's not about anyone, it's about... his own principles.

Indifferent and gentle, innocent and wild, kind and ruthless. This guy may not be sure that his previous life was really a snow mountain.

A dangerous blizzard blows up when you're angry, and when you're in a good mood, it snows over the sky. Humans who do not respect him will freeze to death, but take good care of the small animals on the snowy mountains. Occasionally, when meet a climber who is pleasing to the eye, invite them to climb the mountain together, whether the other party wants to or not.

"If their mother hadn't abandoned them, they might not have had such a miserable life. Doctor Ji, have you ever resented your biological parents? If they hadn't abandoned you, you should be able to have a healthy body and no It's been so hard." Carefully led the topic from Cheng Tao to Ji Chenfeng, stumbling on his views on his own life experience.

"'Abandoning' people out there may seem like a serious crime, but it's so commonplace in the City of Flies that it's hard for us to keep people who want to leave. Resentment doesn't change my body, and it doesn't heal my mother. And... ..." Only two words were said, and the rest of the words did not continue, and disappeared between his lips and teeth.

The car stopped slowly, the police station was only two kilometers away from Ji Chenfeng's house, and they arrived in a short while. Fresh glass shards flickered on the road ahead, signaling the crime that happened here not long ago.

Because it looked like it was raining again, went to the trunk to get an umbrella and planned to let Ji Chenfeng go home.

"And what?" Holding the umbrella in one hand, I handed the other to the car.

The hand that is wider than mine is grasped, and the metacarpal bone on the back of the hand is slightly raised due to the force, which is extraordinarily sexy.

With my strength, Ji Chenfeng stepped out of the car door and stood under the same umbrella as me.

"And, if I weren't me, I wouldn't be able to meet you." His expression was so calm that for a moment I couldn't even tell if he was flirting with me or if he really thought so.

It's just a nice thing to say to please me, isn't it? How could anyone be willing to waste health and wealth just to meet another person? It's not a TV show.

Tightening my fingers on the handle of the umbrella, I looked into Ji Chenfeng's eyes and asked, "Even if I did something to hurt you, wouldn't you regret meeting me?"

"I won't regret it." Hearing this, he felt relieved for some reason, but then, Ji Chenfeng added, "But I still hope that you don't do that."

It was an ordinary tone, but it seemed that a sharp knife peak had stopped him on his back, and he had goosebumps all over his body, and even his hair felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Fuck, why ask such an unlucky question? And how do you think this matter will hurt me more?

For at least the past three years, when Yan Shanhua is still alive, I have to coax him well, let him sleep in vain, and I can't spend less money. After breaking up, I have to find a lot of unreasonable reasons. Even if I did play with his feelings, what kind of harm would it be if I didn't let him know the truth for the rest of my life?

During the coldest month in Hong Kong, I was parachuted into the investment promotion department of my shopping mall and started a busy and boring daily work routine.

It is busy because the end of the year is approaching, and various brands have sent invitations to dinner parties to thank us for the services we have provided over the past year. Unable to shirk, he had to go to the banquet every day.

It's boring because the investment promotion department has formed its own fixed mode of handling affairs. Small problems can be solved by looking for a manager or a deputy director. There are very few times when I need to be the director. Everyone agreed that I was just here to gild, airborne, and soon leave to experience life in another department. The attitude towards me is often reverent and fearful on the surface, and chattering behind my back.

"Master, they are gossiping about you in the tea room again today, saying that your life is good, and it is all up to your father to be able to achieve this position." Tang Bian put the coffee in the tray on the desk and exchanged information with me in a low voice.

I joined the investment promotion department as a director, and Tang Bi'an became my assistant along with me. But to the outside world, everyone only knew that I was Sang Zhengbai's son, not Tang Zhaoyue's son. They thought he was a newly recruited college student, and they didn't shy away from him.

Thanks to this bitch, it didn't take long to figure out the interpersonal relationship of the entire department.

"That's right." Turning over a page of documents, repeating the action of signing, I raised my chin, pointed to the stack of documents at the corner of the table, and said, "Take those out and distribute them."

Tang Bian picked up the document and was about to go out, but turned back and said, "Master, you are going to Miss Gu's house for dinner tonight, don't forget it."

The tip of the pen stuck on the paper, gradually smearing a small cloud of ink. I clicked my tongue, removed the pen, and re-signed my name in another blank space.

"understood."

Maybe it was to show the importance she attached to me, or maybe it was to win the trust of my parents. As soon as my car was parked in Gu Ying's garage, she hurried out from the door to greet me, held my arm affectionately, and greeted me. .

"Have you memorized the information sent to you?" she asked with a smile.

Each other's birthdays, graduate schools, and friends and playmates are basic information that must be known. Every week she told her parents that she was dating me, but she was actually with her boyfriend for a few days, and she also needed to communicate with each other to complete the information. There are even simulation predictions about where we should go.

"Of course." Although it was troublesome, when I thought of the benefits I could get from her, I had to endure it.

The tip of his nose twitched, he had not been outside just now, but as soon as he entered the warm room, he could smell a faint aroma of popcorn.

"Does your family make popcorn?"

"Popcorn?" Gu Ying frowned, her face full of doubts.

"Caramel Popcorn."

"Ah," she suddenly reacted, pinching her collar and sniffing it, smilingly, "it's my perfume. My boyfriend likes it very much. He says it's sweet and it smells very appetizing."

Incomprehensible taste.

Instead of popcorn, I'd better choose cheap soap flavors, at least I won't feel like my airway is stuck with sticky industrial saccharin every time I breathe.

After dealing with Gu Ying's parents, it was past nine o'clock when he returned to the hotel, and Ji Chenfeng had already left. There is a note written by him on the table, the grass has been fed, and there are sandwiches in the refrigerator for tomorrow's breakfast.

I've been so busy these days, always go out early and come back late, feel like haven't seen him for a long time.

Fumbling for the handwriting on the note, I texted Ji Chenfeng and asked him if he could come over and wake me up tomorrow.

Although tomorrow is Saturday, he should have a rest according to reason, but after work, isn't it the boss who has the final say?

The next morning, when Ji Chenfeng entered the suite, I was already awake, and I just lay there on purpose, waiting for his wake-up call.

As a result, he didn't come, and he didn't know what he was dawdling on outside.

What are you doing? If you don't want him to call him, he just wants to call, but now I want him to call, but instead drags it. Unable to wait any longer, I put on my bathrobe and gently opened the bedroom door.

The living room is silent, warm and clean. Through the narrow crack of the door, I quickly locked onto Ji Chenfeng's location, but when I saw what he was doing, my eyes widened slightly.

In the bright morning light, Ji Chenfeng was facing me, standing beside the sofa, holding my coat in his hands, burying the lower half of his face in the soft fabric, and sniffing deeply. Like a... puppy trying to get settled by its owner's scent.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The hurried doorbell interrupted the puppy's private time, causing him to look back towards the door in fright, and I also hurriedly closed the bedroom door subconsciously. When I got to the bed and lay down again, I regained my senses... No, what am I hiding?

"...Huh? You, do you live here? Where's Sang Nian?"

My scalp went numb, as if the bed had been electrified. I just lay down and jumped up again. I didn't even have time to tidy up my bathrobe, so I rushed out with the laces loose.

Damn, it's all because of Ji Chenfeng, which made me stupid too. How could there be anyone other than Zheng Jieyuan who rings the bell like this early in the morning?

How to do? What kind of lie do you want to tell to get Ji Chenfeng's story straight? Private veterinarian? Will Zheng Jieyuan believe it?

No matter what, it's better than being known to be gay.
