Everyone should remember that day and that moment when the sunlight flooded the earth but could not penetrate the dark clouds to shine into people's hearts because an earthquake had struck the southwestern part of China at that time. It was a violent earthquake which had spread over dozens of provinces across the country.
The disaster continually punched the numbness heart of every student. Those students couldn't help cheerfully celebrating every life that was rescued on the news. Whenever the news broadcasted the number of deaths, the students of Jifu University would always get together in small groups and tribute in silence.
On the same day, the student union began to act. Like snowflakes, letters of sympathy landed on the city, which was remote and strange to those students. The student union paid close attention and care to those students who had relatives in the disaster area. The school association of the small city also organized rescue teams to
Because those students also had experienced the powerful earthquake, they felt attached to the distant disaster area and were affected more deeply by the disaster in this area. Therefore, they were eager to take part in the rescue operations. Now it was the third batch of university volunteers who went to participate in the rescue in the disaster area. Among them, there were students who studied medicine, who were very strong, who knew how to cook, and who came from wealthy families. The students whose own conditions could be used in the disaster area were chosen one by one. Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman were sitting in the same car, thinking about their matters. Both Chen Wanxin and Shu Xiaoman only knew that the other would also go to the disaster area until they got on the same car of the third rescue team. They understood from their hearts what brought the other here but still chose to remain silent. One of them was here for Zhao Yuan, who had gone to t
The days passed by and the golden time for rescue within 72 hours after the earthquake had passed. The traffic in the counties of Xichuan had gradually returned to normal. In the past few days, many volunteers were assigned to carry the wounded on a large scale. But unlike before, now they would go to every ruin and every place that might have survivors calling continuously. Sometimes, Zhao Yuan was asked to throw food and drinking water which was scarce in the disaster area to some holes that looked quiet and empty. "Excuse me, is there someone called Zhao Yuan here?" Along the way, a girl in overalls asked with an anxious look. At this time, the girls at the medical station just had finished their breakfast in a hurry. The girl was quite worn out by a long journey, and her face was covered with dust. But she still looked quite noble and extraordinary refined. The other girl with her had a graceful figure, who looked very charming and amiable. But it seemed that the g
Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi. At first, he only saw a shadow bending the waist. He thought that he had seen an illusion because he was excessive fatigue. Zhao Yuan tried his best to stop himself from being cheated by emotions. "Stay awake. I should stay awake." He thought. The shadow he saw got up and held a few clay pots in the hands. Zhao Yuan could even clearly see the crystal clear drops of sweat soaking into the tips of the shadow's brows. Perhaps, the master of the shadow was aware that someone was looking at him. So the master of the shadow tilted his face and looked toward Zhao Yuan. Suddenly, the face became pale, and the happiness on the face faded. The shadow nearly dropped the clay pots in the hands. In a flurry, he went to tidy the mess up. While he did this, he still remembered to smile at Zhao Yuan, delightedly, and even happily. Through the window of the wall, Zhao Yuan saw Lin Wenxi standing behind the broken walls. It seemed that Lin Wenxi always stood the
Lin Wenxi swore that if the voice that called him became louder, he would definitely climb up and throw a brick at him! At that time, Lin Wenxi stayed in the corner, and he had no signs of injury. Perhaps Lin Wenxi became excessively nervous for the moment, or he was too tired after all these days. After he threw the child out, Lin Wenxi fell down, not knowing whether he fainted or fell asleep on the spot. At first, Lin Wenxi slept quite comfortably. But suddenly, he heard someone calling his name. "What an unpleasant sound." Lin Wenxi frowned the entire time in his dream. It seemed that the voice had threatened him. It said, "If you are dead, I will put you in the refrigerator so that you can never be laid to rest!" "Are you kidding? Put me in the fridge? Then, don't you have to tear me limb from limb? But, I still want to come back to life after being frozen!" The voices seemed to scold him. "D*mn. You f*cking i
The military truck had its advantages. Chen Wanxin, Zheng Kai, and others arrived in Dongchuan. Zheng Kai forced Luo Yang and others to help the advance team to deliver some supplies and then ordered them to help transport some of the wounded. While breaking all the barriers, they drove all their way to Red Star Road after they had almost done everything. Of course, the work of breaking the barriers was also assigned to Luo Yang. Somehow, Zheng Kai found that he felt utterly disgusted with Luo Yang, or maybe he even hated Luo Yang to his bones. Later, Zheng Kai tried to think about his feelings toward Luo Yang. Perhaps it was because Chen Wanxin had done some more or less bad things, and Luo Yang must have egged her on in most of those bad things. Therefore, Chen Wanxin was still a good girl in Zheng Kai's mind, but Zheng Kai was the big bad wolf. Luo Yang and others were quite worn out by this journey. Feeling quite miserable,
"Pa, pa." The sounds of shooting arose all around them. Luo Yang took the phone and was filming what was happening at this time. Zheng Kai rushed forward. He grabbed Luo Yang's fingers and reproached in a sharp voice. "Put it down!" But Luo Yang kept a firm hold on his phone. Zheng Kai made up his mind, and then there came a few crisp sounds. It turned out that Zheng Kai had broken Luo Yang's three fingers and the phone fell to the ground. Zheng Kai picked the phone up and violently threw it to the ground. After that, he smashed the phone under his shoes. "You son of a b*tch! We have escaped from death in a great catastrophe. Please say something happy. Don't spoil the fun!" Zheng Kai frowned. But Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan were still exchanging their endless words right from their hearts. Zheng Kai cast a look at them and frowned again. "Hey, Zhao Yuan, don't you feel ashamed? You are flirting with a good man in public!"
Shu Xiaoman printed the photo from her phone and gave it to Lin Wenxi the same day. Someone had applied a layer mask to the photo. The time in which the photo immortalized was their ardent youth. Like ink that was spilled on fine writing paper, it gradually spread out diluted and permeated subtly. Under the white halo, Lin Wenxi could be vaguely seen to be squinting as if he had shed the heavy burden that weighed on his body. His two hands hung beside him as he allowed Zhao Yuan to freely embrace him. Zhao Yuan wrapped his slender body around Lin Wenxi as they kissed, with blue veins protruding on one of his arms. He was like a bud of a bamboo shoot that sprouted after the rain. He was like an expansive forest of bamboo trees, stretching his branches and leaves for him. When the first light of dawn rose in early summer, before the morning star Venus became visible, there was no one else there. Only the light breeze of May quietly immortalized everything i
"Wenxi, promise me. Stay in the dorm and don't go anywhere else. I am going to investigate this thing now. Is it okay?" Zhao Yuan rocked Lin Wenxi's shoulder, but Lin Wenxi just sat there, stupefied. "You are better to accompany him now. Xiaoman and Wang Xiang, come with me to learn the situation from Zhang An'an." Zheng Kai frowned and said. Although he did not know what had happened, he could tell from Lin Wenxi's status that something terrible must have happened. Wang Xiang promised first without much deliberation. However, when Zhang An'an came up to them, he ran out of sight with a whoosh. Zhao Yuan nodded gratefully to Zheng Kai. When the group went out, they started to know the sky was going to fall. The photo that was taken by Shu Xiaoman, the concert of Zhang An'an, the photos of Lin Wenxi and Zhang Dong that came from nowhere, each of the irrefutable evidence would push Lin Wenxi to the dead end, and he would become t
Chen Yuanxi watched the videos attentively on the bed. Chen Yuanxi watched the first video. A gentle man gently bent over to put the clothes on the boy's quilt who was lying on the bed. The boy turned over in a daze, and put his arms around the man's neck with a happy smile on his face. The man kept the posture of leaning down for fear of waking up the boy on the bed until the boy's hands slipped, and fell outside the quilt. Then the man held the boy's hands, put them in the quilt, and tightly held him in the quilt. He lowered his head, and whispered something. After a while, the man got into the quilt, hugged the boy from behind, and his face was close to the boy's back... At that time, Chen Yuanxi could smell a strange smell in the room. Even the forensic said it was estrus-spurred medicine. At that time, how could Zhang Dong restrain himself and protect Chen Yuanxi? How could he guarantee that Chen Yuanxi and he could safely leave under the pressure of
The prison in the small town. Chen Yuanxi and Mo Qian were arranged to meet in a separate room. "Unexpectedly, uncle Hong Xuan and Zhang Dong worked together, and they could only make Luo Yang was sentenced to death. You can still wait for further investigation," Chen Yuanxi said with a smile, "Old friend, long time no see." In front of Chen Yuanxi, Mo Qian, once rich and glorious, was still wearing his glasses of silver frame, whose both sides had been badly worn. In prison, he had no chance to silver it. "Are you here to say goodbye to me?" asked Mo Qian. "No, I'm here to let you say goodbye to yourself," said Chen Yuanxi. "What should I call you?" asked Mo Qian. "Chen Yuan Xi." "We can't go back. So if you have anything to say, just say it." "I'll give you a chance to tell me the story between uncle Hong Xuan and you. I'm afraid no one will listen to it. I
On the marshland, the foundation had been newly laid. In a short time, there would be many houses standing here. Chen Yuanxi came there and sat down quietly, imagining how Zhang Dong fell under the gun of Hong Xuan that night. Chen Yuanxi could not understand why Hong Xuan was so cruel to Zhang Dong before he died. He thought about it and suddenly thought it through. "Because he shouldn't love me. He loves me, so his life has to pay the price." "If I were a girl, maybe Hong Xuan would have hijacked him to help us." But then he fell into a deeper confusion. "Zhang Dong, why were you so stupid that you would rather die? Why didn't you choose to agree to uncle Hong Xuan? You need to be flexible when it's urgent. There would be a solution in the future! You have learned from me for more than two years, but you're still as upright as Zheng Kai!" Chen Yuanxi smiled bitterly and madly. He was lying in the s
When they walked out of the door together, Chen Yuanxi suddenly asked, "Do you think I really love Zhao Yuan?" "Why did you suddenly ask such a question?" Gu Xi said, "You two have experienced so much together. All of us can see that you love each other." "What about Uncle Hong Xuan and my father?" Gu Xi shook his head and said, "He and your father are brothers. They have heroic spirit and don't stick to trifles. But you and Zhao Yuan..." "Uncle Hong Xuan can die for my father, and I can do anything for Zhao Yuan. Isn't he in love with my father?" asked Chen Yuanxi. "Except for love, there are many other emotions among people that can make them live and die together," said Gu Xi. "Then Zhao Yuan and I may not be in love." Chen Yuanxi said thoughtfully. "Wenxi, you are just making excuses for yourself! Did you fall in love with someone else?" asked Gu Xi. "I don't know. Eve
Hong Xuan was walking in a daze in the wild. He thought he might have killed the wrong person this time. The video sent by the liaison suggested that Zhang Dong and Wenxi had kissed each other across the bulletproof glass, which made him furious! What made him angrier was that he heard that Zhang Dong had been wearing rings on both hands all day long, which were sent by Wenxi! "I've warned him not to mislead my son! My only son!" The moon was bright and peaceful, but his eyes were full of bloodshot. He knew that Zhang Dong was a man of righteous ardour and was not afraid of death, but he did not expect that Zhang Dong's words before he died would make him lose his mind for a moment. He knew that prisoners in the prison sometimes had to go out to carry out their tasks to expiate their crimes. Among those people, there must be Zhang Dong. He had videoed his testimony against Mo Qian, as well as some evidence that could be searche
The men's prison in the small town. "How many years will you stay in the prison?" Chen Yuanxi tried to smile at Zhang Dong. "It's not clear yet. I think it will be eight years. That's enough. When I go out, I'm only 40 and only one tenth of my life will have passed. Besides, I'm sure my sentence will be commuted." Zhang Dong smiled easily. Chen Yuanxi was amused. He scolded while wiping tears, "You fool, how long do you want to live!" "I'll stay with you for 360 years before I dare to die," said Zhang Dong. "It wasn't you who took photos of me for Mo Qian, did you?" Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. "If you really don't doubt it, you won't ask me." Zhang Dong kept silent for three seconds and said with a smile, "After more than two years with you, I have been more or less smarter." Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi kept silent. "I knew it later. In order to create a realistic effect,
Chen Yuanxi was going to go back with Zhang Dong, but Zhang Dong stood still, and several policemen came. Chen Yuanxi turned around and looked at Zhang Dong with doubts, who was standing among a group of armed police. Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong with a smile. Zhang Dong was tall and powerful. Among these armed police, he was a Triton of the minnows and his temperament as a soldier was no worse than theirs. But why did not he come to Chen Yuanxi? Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Yuanxi, I can't accompany you any longer." Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhang Dong in disbelief, who was standing alone by the huge and solemn front door of the prison. It was dusk, and the lights had gone on. Zhang Dong's face was covered with lights of different colors, which covered up his real expression. "Why?" asked Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong said with a smile, "I surrendered myself, so that I won't be sentenced too severely. When I'm judged,
Chen Yuanxi saw Hong Xuan's red and swollen eyes. "I won't interfere in your affairs with Yanyan, but I hope you will at least follow Ziwei's second will and live a good and safe life. As for you, Zhang Dong, if I know you lead Wenxi to the wrong way, no matter what you helped me, I will not let you go!" Chen Yuanxi understood Hong Xuan's meaning and asked him what he wanted to do. "There are still a few thieves who haven't been caught. After catching them, I'll go back where I came from!" Hong Xuan laughed and strode away. Chen Yuanxi rushed forward and hugged Hong Xuan. "Dad... can you not leave... can you stay at somewhere and live... you have the ability to live, don't you?" Chen Yuanxi cried in a sad voice. "I should have died more than eight years ago, Wenxi. Your father and I are sworn friends. We should go through thick and thin together..." Hong Xuan said in a trembling voice.
Two months later, Beijing. The summer has come. Zhang Dong dragged out an air water tank and set up a small swimming pool in the room. Chen Yuanxi was naked and immersed in the water. He remembered that Captain Cao had been telling him from the small town that people of the Mo Family had been caught one after another, but the one who often provided clues was He Fu, the major fugitive who had killed three people several years ago. Captain Cao had asked about the identity of He Fu several times, but Chen Yuanxi said nothing. "It's enough. You're so tired. Come here," said Chen Yuanxi. Zhang Dong took off his vest and rolled down. They had playing in the water for a while, and did not notice the sound of the door opening. When Hong Xuan came in, Chen Yuanxi was lying on Zhang Dong's body, pouring water on his head, and washing his hair. When they saw Hong Xuan, they immediately stopped, looking like chi
