"Do you know who Lin Wenxi is?" Zhao Ming asked with difficulty. He was in the last stage of treatment now and felt really exhausted. His damaged kidney tissue had gotten repaired, and his right leg had been amputated.
Upon hearing his father's question, Zhao Yuan shook his head.
"Of course, you don't know. He won't tell you. Years ago, I always thought that someone framed me but failed to find any evidence. When I was arrested, I was told that I would be imprisoned for at least several years. At that time, I heard about an upstanding official who was surnamed Lin. He was the head of the county's displine inspection commission at that time. I wrote him dozens of letters, asking for his help. He was determined to redress this injustice but failed to find any evidence either. He discovered that some of the documents that I submitted to get the building permit were missing for no reason. Fortunately, he proved that I was never engaged in illegal fund-raising
"An'an, why did you remain silent all this while?" Shu Xiaoman asked eagerly. "Xiaoman, don't be so hasty." Zhang An'an sighed. "Don't you know what Wanxin is capable of? Gu Xi told me that she hired some people to create difficulties for Lin Wenxi when he was doing his part-time job and then managed to upload photos of her and Zhao Yuan to the computer that Zhao Yuan bought for Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi smashed the computer to pieces upon seeing the photos. Do you think you're able to outwit her?” "What? How did you know these things I never heard of? It looks like Wenxi is more intimate with you..." Shu Xiaoman was surprised and somewhat annoyed. "You care about Wenxi. So do I. He's also my friend. But you just focus on acting against Wanxin. By doing so, you can't help Wenxi and will probably get yourself into trouble. I seldom talk to Wenxi. Instead, I often talk with his best friend Gu Xi and he'll tell me something about Wenxi. Besides, I a
"Let's go to visit Nannan together, Zhao Yuan," Lin Wenxi suddenly said. "You went to see her a few days ago. She's going to leave the hospital very soon. Why bother visiting her again?" Zhao Yuan said with his hands laid out in a shrug. "She's badly injured and worried about you all the time. And Wang Zhengjuan has given you... Well, anyhow, I think we'd better go to see her again," said Lin Wenxi. "Alright, let's go if this is what you want," Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and said. "What're we going to give her?" "Her favorite lollipops and a white rabbit," Lin Wenxi said with a smile. "Do you mean a white rabbit doll?" Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi's head and asked. "Yes. You're very understanding." Lin Wenxi smiled. "So do you want to marry me for that?" asked Zhao Yuan. Lin Wenxi's face suddenly became somber as he said, "Stop kidding like that. I hope that next time you
"Ziyun Piano store gets a new boss, and this new boss is Yun Che," Zhao Yuan said gleefully on their way to the piano store. "How did you find him?" Lin Wenxi asked curiously. He himself had never figured out how to find Yun Che as he knew only his name. The reason he studied the piano score was that he thought he might be able to meet him somewhere and remind him of Zhu Ziping by playing the song on the piano in the future. Zhao Yuan was always a problem solver. Since knowing that Lin Wenxi often went to Ziyun Piano Store, he had been wondering, "Ziyun? This name sounds somewhat familiar. Is this just a coincidence?" He had asked Wang Xiang to write a poetic line containing the names of Yun Che and Zhu Ziping and managed to persuade Ziyun Piano Store to solicit investment by publishing this line as an ad on many local websites. As Lin Wenxi was a frequent visitor to the piano store, the store owner and clerks all knew this boy
When they arrived at Zhu Ziping's home, Zhu Ziping had not come back from school. Her parents recognized Yun Che at first glance. They used to have lots of doubts about this young man, but when seeing him again, they were excited and greeted him cordially. They even butchered a hen and a goat and cooked them for Yun Che. Yun Che could not reject their hospitality. He was somewhat inarticulate and awkward in front of them. His cheeks blushed a little. In the evening, Zhu Ziping came back. They saw each other and then sat silently. At this moment, Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi were peeling peas in the yard outside the house. They sat together under the dark blue sky studded with shining stars. Lin Wenxi enjoyed this quiet and cool evening. He felt relaxed in the breeze. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and his voice became soft. Once Zhao Yuan teased him, he would chuckle slightly. Upon seeing the contented smile on Lin Wenxi's face, Zhao Yuan
Zhu Ziping and Yun Che had met each other during the first year of their music university. Both of them were good-looking and talented young people. They never met or talked to each other before they were romantically in love with each other. They just spontaneously took each other's hand in a rain of cherry blossom. Without anyone introducing them to each other, they naturally held each other's hand when they first met at the university. None of them felt awkward. Before that moment, Zhu Ziping had never taken a man's hand like this. They somehow felt as if they had met before and this was a reunion. They seemed to be predestined to meet each other. After being together for four years, they planned to get married after graduation. Zhu Ziping took Yun Che home and bashfully introduced him to her parents. Upon seeing the well-dressed and well-spoken young man and all the expensive gifts he bought for them, Zhu Ziping' foster par
On their way back to their university, Lin Wenxi asked Zhao Yuan, "Do you think it's impossible for two boys to love each other the way Yun Che and Ziping do?" "You should ask Xiaoman such a question instead of me. Or, you can ask Wang Xiang," Zhao Yuan replied casually while holding a blade of foxtail grass between his lips. "I'm wondering what'll happen when we reunite after being separated for five years," said Lin Wenxi. "Huh? I think it'll be pretty normal for us to not meet each other once during five years after graduation," Zhao Yuan spit the blade of grass and said while looking at Lin Wenxi. "Oh..." Lin Wenxi remained silent for a moment before adding, "What if I disappear for no reason for five years? What will happen when we reunite?" "I can't recognize you at that time." "Why?" "You know what. A girl changes fast in physical appearance from childhood to adulthood. Who the h
Lin Ziwei told Lin Wenxi a few days ago that he had to leave Jifu University. Lin Wenxi was punished by stopping his study at Jifu University and going to a remote mountain village in Yangzi County to teach for half a year. Later, he would arrange for him to study in a normal university in the next-door province as an exchange student. Both Lin Wenxi and Huang Xiya was puzzled, because Li Wenxi's future might be ruined if he left Jifu University. "He's so eye-catching at Jifu University. I was against it!" Lin Ziwei said with a serious look. "Wasn't that caused by your investigation on the cheating of Chen Tianjiao's daughter? Otherwise, they would not contact the media?" Huang Xiya was very unwilling. "It's because of me that his name didn't appear in the newspaper. Otherwise, now my precious son would have been known by everyone! What's more, we naturally have to investigate the wrong thing. If we make the mistakes sound less
Three months had passed. Time flew fast. In recent months, Lin Wenxi had worked very hard day and night, but his body was much better than before. He taught Chinese, mathematics, English, music, labor, and physical education for more than one hundred students of this school, and had already become very popular among students. In these three months, besides Huang Xiya who contacted him three times, no one contacted him, including his father. On this day, Lin Wenxi sat silently in the bamboo forest, stroking the only high-end electronic organ that the president had applied to superiors for a long time. When the wind blew through the bamboo, the bamboo shadow cast on the wall. Lin Wenxi played the organ, singing gently. "You will feel love, hatred, and forgiveness. Life will not only be full of sadness. The lover can't take away your paradise..." It was said that people born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month were lucky boys. Magpie
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
