I have a Secret

There is only cold in the early morning of winter, entangled unreasonably, drilled into the pores of people, pierced through the gaps in the bones, and the ghosts lingered.

At home, Wang Qi took a small schoolbag for her daughter, put woolen scarves and gloves on her carefully, and was about to drive her to the kindergarten, when she suddenly received a call from the bureau, and had to comfort her daughter, let his wife take over, and hurried Run to the scene of the crime.

When he got there, Wang Qi had already learned about the case from his colleagues.

The deceased was 17 years old and a student of Class 5, Grade 01, No. 30 Middle School of the city. The crime scene was in the bedroom. The time of death was between [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] am. The cause of death was very special.

The atmosphere was stuffy, and the investigators present seemed to be forcibly stuffed into sealed tin jars. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat, they had difficulty breathing, and they felt very uncomfortable.

The younger policeman made a voice, his childish face was full of disbelief, "Impossible, drinking water can kill people?"

The forensic doctor corrected, "Preliminary identification shows that it is water intoxication, and the specific situation will not be known until after inspection."

The little policeman still couldn't believe it. He pointed to the dead body on the bed, "My sister had such a big belly when she gave birth to her little niece, but my sister's whole body was swollen and fat. She didn't. She has slender limbs and a bulging belly." It’s so big, it’s very uncoordinated, and it feels like my belly will burst at any moment, how much water do I have to fill to make it bulge like that?”

Everyone else shivered inexplicably, and couldn't help discussing it on the spot.

"There are many ways to kill a man. The common ones are to use a sharp weapon to cause fatal injuries, or to die from excessive blood loss. Others are suffocation techniques such as covering the mouth and nose, sealing the throat... pouring water into the person's mouth or killing the head See you once."

"Is there any meaning for the murderer to do this? Like some kind of ritual? Apart from this, I can't think of any other reason."

"Even if the enemy came to seek revenge, it is impossible to do so?"

"Probably not a homicide," the medical examiner said.

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the bedroom dropped a lot, and the cold wind came in from the half-closed windows, whistling in my ears, making my scalp numb.

Wang Qi said calmly, "Okay, don't talk about it, first take the body to the examination room, and this mineral water bottle, to see if there are other substances in it, and then check the fingerprints on the bottle, by the way, the deceased's Where is the family? Where is she?"

Someone responded, "I'm crying in the hall on the first floor."

Wang Qi took out the cigarette case, bit one in his mouth, and didn't light it. He picked up the pink mobile phone in the bag, "Let's go."

As soon as the group left the bedroom, they heard hoarse crying downstairs.

The middle-aged woman was crying with snot and tears all over her face. She and her husband were so different in personality that they couldn't get along after a long time. The two really couldn't become a family. When their daughter was less than three years old, separated.

After the divorce, the life of a middle-aged woman focuses on her daughter, and everything revolves around her daughter. Her only goal is to cultivate her daughter into a talent. Now that her daughter has suddenly left, it is like the sky falling to her, and everything is gone. , I can't live anymore.

As soon as Wang Qi and the others came down, the middle-aged woman jumped up excitedly and yelled incoherently, "My daughter never had any grudges with anyone at school. Teachers and classmates like her very much. Who killed my daughter? I beg you to take that If the murderer is caught, he must be caught!"

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked terrifying. She said to herself like crazy, "My daughter's grades are very good, and she is good at painting. She is going to the Academy of Fine Arts."

"You see, the paintings on the bedroom wall are all drawn by my daughter, aren't they very good? The studio teacher said that she is very talented..."

The middle-aged woman cried and screamed miserably, and passed out after shaking her body.

Wang Qi asked the two people to stay and take care of him. He waited for the deceased's family to wake up and feel better before making a statement.

The statement was delivered to Wang Qi more than two hours later.

The young man who made the statement stood at the table and reported, "Brother Wang, according to the family members of the deceased, she went to the studio to pick up the deceased at around nine o'clock last night, watched the deceased go upstairs, and brought milk into the bedroom for the deceased around eleven o'clock. Drink, the deceased was not asleep at the time and was doing exercises."

Wang Qi looked at the confession and found two words, "Puppy love?"

The young man said, "The family of the deceased just suspected that she thought her daughter fell in love with a boy."

Wang Qi looked down, "Has the supermarket's surveillance been tuned out?"

The young man said, "I have already gone to the supermarket to negotiate, and the monitoring will be obtained soon. The family of the deceased said that the mineral water bottle inserted into the deceased's mouth was an extra bottle."

Wang Qi looked up, "The extra bottle? What do you mean?"

The young man motioned him to turn the page, "The deceased went to the supermarket halfway to buy water and toothpaste. Her family looked through her bag and found a bottle of water in the bag. The deceased said he didn't know it at first, but then he became absent-minded, and there was something hidden in it."

"Brother Wang, could it be that the bottle of water was tampered with? The deceased drank it, so..."

The young man didn't go on. If it was poisoned, the corpse would not be free of signs of poisoning, but if it wasn't for poisoning, what else would a bottle of water have?

"We won't know until the results come out from the laboratory."

Wang Qi read the confession verbatim, he stood up and walked to the window to catch his breath, this time the accident happened again underage, and there are four things in common with the previous two.

First, the lives of the three deceased will always stay at the age of 17. Second, they are all high school seniors. Third, they all studied fine arts. Fourth, they all studied painting in the studio of the Agricultural University.

Are these four things in common just a coincidence?

Wang Qi's brows were deeply furrowed. In their line of work, he had many cases in his hands, and all his manpower and material resources were invested in the homicide case, so he didn't spend much time on those two cases.

Now that I have pulled out all the details, I am surprised that there are many doubts.

Xia Wei died on the bed of the rented house. She didn't want to live anymore, she could directly puncture the main artery, why bother to puncture other places on her neck?While waiting for the blood in her body to flow out, what was she thinking, why did she press her face and leave a bloody palm print?

According to Xia Wei's classmates, she was going to the Town God's Temple the next day. What happened that night made her choose to give up her life?

Wang Qi wondered if he should find some time to visit Xia Wei's uncle, look at the paintings in her room, and then go to the hospital where her father lives to see if his condition is better, maybe he can sit Come down and talk.

There is also Lin Mao who was poisoned by carbon monoxide and fell to his death accidentally.

Wang Qi thought of Lin Mao's roommate, that is, the boy named Zhang Shuran, and remembered what he said. He said that a voice was calling Lin Mao, and that if Lin Mao didn't come out, he wouldn't die.

I don't know what's wrong, the more Wang Qi thinks about it at this moment, the more weird he feels, the ball gown inside his sweater is soaked with sweat, even in the rain of bullets and being pointed at with a gun, he has never been out like this. sweating.

Wang Qi left from the window, he returned to the desk, and continued to pick up the statement.

The deceased was close to a boy in the studio before he was alive. Coincidentally, that boy Wang Qi had contact with him twice, both because of the murder.

"Shen Liang..."

Wang Qi wanted to make a phone call, but the young man knocked on the door, saying that the result had come out.

He went to the examination room, didn't go in, just sat on the chair outside and smoked, when he heard footsteps approaching, he asked, "How is it?"

The forensic doctor took off his gloves, "The results came out. The cause of the deceased's death was the water in her stomach. My guess is correct. She did not kill herself."

Wang Qi took a puff of cigarette in silence, waiting for the next sentence.

"No other ingredients were detected in the bottle. There are only fingerprints of the deceased on the bottle. She has no trauma, and there are no other valuable discoveries in her stomach."

The forensic doctor said unhurriedly, "We didn't find any traces of restraint or struggle on the limbs of the deceased. In other words, she poured water on herself, which eventually led to death."

Choked by the smell of smoke, Wang Qi coughed loudly, "Why did she pour water on herself? If it was just suicide, jumping directly into the river or putting your head in the bathtub can achieve the same effect, and it will be much easier."

The forensic doctor said, "I don't understand either, but all we can see is the test data."

Wang Qi coughed a lot, squeezed out the cigarette with his fingertips, and panted, "Judging from the shoe prints collected at the scene, the deceased has never left the bedroom or been in bed since he went to bed. , that is to say, she drank water lying on the bed, but the water in a mineral water bottle can only quench thirst at most, and it cannot kill people.”

The forensic doctor did not speak, and fell into silence.

Wang Qi rubbed his temples, "The deceased's belly was so high that it was poured into a large bucket of water. How did she fill herself with water, and where did she get the water? Could it be that the bottle can produce water by itself? After pouring, there will be more? "

A series of questions were lined up in front of him, so unbelievable that he had to doubt the truth of the case.

The meaning of the forensic doctor was unclear, "Brother Wang, you should stop thinking about this case."

Wang Qi frowned, "What do you mean?"

"The deceased committed suicide, that's what it means," said the medical examiner.

Wang Qi got a little angry, "Have you ever seen such a method of suicide? Now all the physical evidence points to suicide, but it's obviously very unreasonable, and it's weird everywhere, isn't it?"

"Then what are you going to do? There's nothing to check."

"Let me think about it, let me think about it, some will check, and there must be others."

Wang Qi went to the other side and asked about the situation of the deceased's cell phone.

The colleague said, "The fingerprints on the mobile phone belonged to the deceased. Her last call was to her home. The call lasted 3 minutes and 12 seconds. This has been confirmed by her family."

"By the way, there is a text message in the draft box of the deceased."

Wang Qi asked, "What content?"

He took the note from his colleague, with a sentence written on it-I will always be by your side, guarding you, and never leaving you.

As a big boss, Wang Qi is married and has children, and became a father, but he has never been exposed to this kind of love confession, he has never received it, and he has never given it to anyone.

Just a minor, still in the third year of high school, is his emotional awareness that high?Be with me all the time, watch over, never leave, these words are casual words, but are they really a kind of promise, a vow?

Wang Qi rolled up the note and put it in his pocket, "Did you find anything else?"

The colleague said, "The deceased's photo album is full of paintings, and the signature on those paintings is not her own, but a person named Shen Liang."

The name of Shen Liang popped into Wang Qi's mind for the second time. He went to the studio alone, very low-key and fast, and when he got there, he called him out alone.

Shen Liang stood in the cold wind, "Officer Wang, what do you need from me?"

Wang Qi took out a photo from the pocket inside the leather jacket, "Student Shen, do you know this girl?"

Shen Liang glanced at the photo, "I know you, why?"

Wang Qi didn't put away the photos, "I heard that you have a very good relationship."

Shen Liang didn't say anything else, but admitted, "Yes, the two of us can chat better, and we usually communicate with each other when drawing."

Wang Qi looked over, "She is interested in you."

Shen Liang also admitted this time, "It should be, but I won't talk about relationships before the college entrance examination."

Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, "So, you don't like her?"

Shen Liang scratched the back of his neck, showing an expression that echoed his age, a little shy and a little dazed, "I don't know what liking is, I just know that I don't have enough time every day, I'm so busy that I'm not painting Painting is just a problem, and I don’t have the mind to think about other things.”

Pausing for a few moments, Shen Liang frowned, "She may be busy today, and she hasn't come to the studio until now. If you want to find her, you can come and see her in the afternoon."

Wang Qi said, "She died."

Shen Liang suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Dead, dead?"

He smiled, his breath was a little messy, and the muscles on his face were stiff, "Officer Wang, what are you kidding, she was sketching with me in the studio last night, everyone else saw it, how could something happen to her?!"

Wang Qi said with a straight face, "Student Shen, I won't joke about human lives."

His sharp eyes swept away, and he said in a deep voice, "I came to you today because I wanted to hear about this girl from you. After all, you have been with her recently. I think you should know..."

The blood on Shen Liang's face was drained, he interrupted loudly, his emotions were on the verge of losing control, as if he had been greatly stimulated, "I don't know, I don't know anything, Officer Wang, I'm sorry, my mind is in a mess right now, How did you die, why did you die..."

Wang Qi patted the boy on the shoulder, "Calm down."

Shen Liang wiped his face, his body was shaking, he seemed to be quite frightened, "I'm sorry, I can't calm down, Officer Wang, I want to be alone, please tell the teacher for me."

After he finished speaking, he left, his figure was a little staggering, and he squatted down after a few steps, his back was slightly arched, and his face was buried between his legs.

Wang Qi saw the boy's shoulders trembling. He walked over and pulled him up. When he saw a face full of tears, he was sure that the boy was crying instead of laughing.

Just now he had the illusion that a teenager was laughing, Wang Qi licked his chapped mouth, and felt that he really shouldn't be riding an electric bike on the way here, his mind was blurred by the wind, and he was in a mess.

Shen Liang broke free from Wang Qi's hand, and walked away in a daze.

Wang Qi watched the boy leave, he squinted his eyes on the spot, turned around to meet another target, Zhang Shuran.

Hearing the news of the girl's death in No. [-] Middle School, Huang Dan didn't think he was surprised. It seemed that from the moment she became a model and had no face, she was already prepared for something to happen to her.

Huang Dan couldn't figure out two things.

One is, something strange happened to Shen Liang's painting, why didn't he die?

The second is, assuming that those few things are all done by people, according to the number of the previous missions, the target is not Chen Shi, but the people around him, Qi Fang, Zhou Jiaojiao, the teacher, the people in the studio, they All suspect.

If it's a ghost, it's hard to catch.

The question in his ear brought Huang Dan back to his senses. He couldn't procrastinate any longer. He had to use this policeman and rely on the other party's resources to get him closer to the mission goal. "I was washing my hands at the pool in the yard last night. The girl talked to Shen Liang standing on the slope outside the door, and she gave Shen Liang something back."

Wang Qi immediately asked, "What?"

Huang Dan thought for a while and said, "At that time, the distance between me and them was a bit far, like a letter."

Wang Qi understood. He had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs running. The letter was probably the deceased's love letter to Shen Liang, but Shen Liang didn't mention it and kept it a secret. "Then what?"

Huang Dan said, "The girls separated from Shen Liang."

He thought for a while and said, "Last time, the girl fainted suddenly in the studio. Shen Liang was very nervous and insisted on carrying the girl to the hospital. What the teacher said was useless."

Wang Qi was surprised, he didn't expect this to be involved, "It seems that Student Shen is very helpful."

Huang Dan pursed his lips, "There is something strange. Shen Liang hasn't been to the studio for a few days before. When he reappeared, he seemed to be a different person, and his temperament was different from usual."

Wang Qi asked, "Why is it different?"

Huang Dan said, "It's hard to describe."

Wang Qi pondered for a while, "There are many reasons for a person's temperament to change. Maybe it is because the problem that has been troubling him has been solved, or there is a way out of the dead end. He thought he would die, but he found a chance to survive. Individuals and moods will undergo earth-shaking changes.”

Huang Dan's eyelids twitched, something flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it.

Wang Qi stomped his cigarette butt into the mud, and brought up another closed case, "You said a few words to me when your roommate had an accident, and now I'll ask you again, have you changed your mind?"

Huang Dan said, "I still have the same idea, and it won't change."

Wang Qi stared into his eyes, his hard facial lines relaxed a bit, "Go and draw, and contact me later."

When Huang Dan returned to the studio, he found that everyone was talking about the girl's death, and the four words "impermanence of life" were crushed and stuffed into their hearts. A group of people who hadn't grown up had already begun to discuss fate and feel emotional about life.

Chen Shi called Huang Dan to a corner, "What does the Wang surname want you for?"

Huang Dan said, "Inquire about that girl."

Chen Shi's brows were knotted, and his complexion was not very good, "You don't know her well, why did the surname Wang find you? Even if he wanted to ask about the situation, he should ask Shen Liang and the teacher, and it never happened. you."

Huang Dan said, "Officer Wang said my eyes were not deceiving, he thought everything I said was true."

Chen Shi tsk-tsk, "Wang's surname is really pitiful. People in middle age still fall into this kind of trick."

"Little man, your eyes can't deceive, but you can." He stretched out his index finger to poke the boy's head, "You're broken."

Huang Dan said, "I'm not bad to you."

This sentence has another meaning. When necessary, he will have unkind thoughts towards people other than Chen Shi, and use some means to achieve his goal.

Chen Shi heard it, he hummed on purpose, thinking carefully, "I don't believe it, you have to prove it to me slowly."

Huang Dan's thinking was distracted by him, "Okay, as long as you want to see it, I will continue to prove it."

The confession came naturally, without any awkwardness.

Chen Shi's eyes were extremely black and bright, he panted lowly, his heart beat faster, and his heart ached unbearably, "This is what you said, Zhang Shuran, if you dare to lie to me, I will find a way to get out even if I go to the underworld. I'll settle the bill with you."

Huang Dan's face became hot, "This is in the studio."

Chen Shi moved away from his cheeks, and smiled, "Don't worry, everyone is whispering excitedly about the dead, and no one is paying attention to our side."

Yellow list, "..."

He glanced around and found that what Chen Shi said was correct, the others were really chattering, including Zhou Jiaojiao.

"I don't know how he died."

Chen Shi licked off the smell that didn't belong to him on his lips, "Never mind her, people are dead, what difference does it make? Thinking about this issue is purely a waste of time, it doesn't make any sense."

Huang Dan said, "First Xia Wei, Lin Mao, and now that girl, they all had accidents, and they all happened within two or three months."

Chen Shishi smiled irrelevantly, "So, everyone has their own destiny."

Huang Dan raised his eyelids, "Chen Shi, what will happen to you if it's my turn?"

Chen Shi's facial expression changed instantly. He reached out and grabbed the boy's arm with great force, cursing obscenities, "Fuck, why the fuck are you saying such things?"

Huang Dan gasped in pain, clenched his teeth, "Just talking."

Chen Shi kicked down the easel next to him, the veins on his neck stood out, and his eyes stared angrily, "I can't even say it, do you hear me?!"

The second half of the sentence is his roar, which is really terrifying, like a wild beast, but his hands are constantly shaking, just that one sentence, one hypothesis, makes him scared to death.

Huang Dan's voice was full of tears, "I heard it."

Chen Shi ignored the gazes cast by the others after hearing the movement, and went out with a livid face.

Huang Dan squatted down covering his grasped arm.

Zhou Jiaojiao ran over nervously, she was about to cry, "Shu Ran, Shu Ran, what's wrong with you? Where did you get hurt? Stop crying, why is Chen Shi so angry at you, is he crazy? !"

Huang Dan cried and said, "It's my problem, it has nothing to do with him."

Zhou Jiaojiao went to her bag to get a pack of tissues, quickly tore open two and handed them over, "Stop talking for him, it has nothing to do with him, so who does it have to do with?"

Huang Dan didn't speak anymore, he wept subduedly, waiting for the pain to subside.

Zhou Jiaojiao glared at the other people who were watching the fun, "If there's anything interesting, don't look at it."

Everyone looked away in embarrassment. Logically speaking, there was nothing to see. However, it was the first time they saw a boy crying so hard. It was fresh.

Zhou Jiaojiao saw Chen Shi outside the courtyard, "Do you know that Shu Ran is crying?"

Chen Shi leaned against the corner and smoked, but didn't respond.

Zhou Jiaojiao persisted, "I'm talking to you, what do you mean by pretending not to hear, Chen Shi."

Chen Shihan said in a voice, "Get out."

Zhou Jiaojiao snorted coldly, and said surprisingly, "I know the secret between you and Shu Ran."

Chen Shi's face was covered by the smoke, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he heard the voice was laughing, "So what? Go tell the teacher? Or use a loudspeaker and shout it several times in the Agricultural University?"

"I won't say it." Zhou Jiaojiao said as she walked around, the ponytail behind her shoulders kept flicking back and forth, "I won't say it, it's not because of you, it's because of Shu Ran, I want to protect him, not like You know how to hurt him and make him sad."

As she spoke, she became angry and kicked a large piece of snow at her feet, "What's so good about you? Why does Shu Ran like you?!"

Chen Shi walked out of the smoke with a cigarette in his hand, walked up to Zhou Jiaojiao step by step, and looked down at her face, "I just want to say once, he is mine, don't make up his mind, otherwise, I will make a move." What, even I don't know."

Zhou Jiaojiao's face was pale.

Seeing that Chen Shi had left, Zhou Jiaojiao went back to the studio. She moved a stool and sat next to the boy who had stopped crying, and didn't mention what happened just now. "Next week is the single-entry registration. How many schools does Shu Ran plan to apply for?"

Huang Dan's eyes were red, "I'll see when the time comes."

Zhou Jiaojiao looked at his side face, curled her lips, "I plan to take the entrance examination for six or seven schools, if I take a few more, I might be able to get into one."

Huang Dan said, “Some schools’ registration fees are not cheap.”

Zhou Jiaojiao said it was fine, "If I run out of money, I'll call my dad to ask for it. He'd like me to get into a hundred schools."

Yellow list, "..."

Zhou Jiaojiao sighed softly, "I wish I could go to college."

Huang Dan said, "Hurry up and practice, before you have time."

Zhou Jiaojiao scratched her face, lowered her head to pick the nail polish on her fingers, "It's too late..."

She regained her spirits in the next second, "Shu Ran, do you eat Huamei? I bought a good emergency bag, and I will give you a bag to eat."

Huang Dan remembered what Chen Shi said about eating people with soft mouths and short hands, so he pursed his lips, "I won't eat, thank you."

Zhou Jiaojiao drooped her eyelids unhappily, "It must be what Chen Shi meant."

Huang Dan was taken aback, guessing something.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't speak anymore, she picked up a pencil and drew a big apple on the drawing paper, the lines were messy.

Looking at her apple, Huang Dan frowned and taught her how to arrange the wires.

Zhou Jiaojiao raised her round face with a smile, "Shu Ran, you are well."

Huang Dan gave her the pen, "Draw it yourself."

Zhou Jiaojiao lowered her face, "Oh."

Huang Dan went to look outside after a while, but Chen Shi didn't come, so he got angry, which couldn't go away for a while, and he rubbed his forehead, not in the mood to continue painting, so he slipped away before the teacher came.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't have time to shout, she wrinkled her nose, "Don't accompany me."

Huang Dan returned to his residence.

The door of the room was open, and there was a smell of tobacco coming out of it. He stepped in and saw a person leaning against the head of the bed, with long legs folded there, puffing.

Huang Dan coughed twice.

Chen Shi pinched his cigarette, "Come here."

Huang Dan closed the door behind his back, walked to the bed obediently, was grabbed by one hand, dragged him onto the bed, and bumped his head into the warm chest.

Chen Shi rolled up the boy's sleeves, saw the bruise on his arm, felt so distressed, and became angry, "Damn, why are you scaring me when you have nothing to do? Do you know that I was scared by you, and now my hands are shaking?" ?”

Huang Dan said, "I was wrong."

Chen Shi's chest felt tight, he pulled the boy into his arms, and bit him hard, "Scare me next time, and see how I mess with you!"

Huang Dan's face was bitten and it hurt very much. He didn't beg for mercy, but let Chen Shi bite while crying.

Chen Shi bit the boy's face, and a little blood flowed into his mouth, "You're so naughty, I really want to eat you."

Huang Dan hoarsely said, "If I die in front of you, you can do that."

When Chen Shi heard the young man say this, his body trembled, he was stunned, and it took him a while to make a sound, "You really..."

The next moment, he raised his hand and slapped the boy's butt.

Huang Dan was wearing long johns, wool trousers, and a pair of jeans over it. It didn't hurt. As he thought about it, his buttocks suddenly felt cold, and goosebumps instantly lined up to stand in line.

Chen Shi didn't attack lightly. The fire in the studio hadn't been extinguished yet, and a new fire was added. His internal organs were almost scorched, "You want to piss me off on purpose, don't you?"

Huang Dan's butt was in hot pain, and he cried and said, "I don't."

"Still said no, don't you know I can't hear that dead word? If you have something, if you have something to fucking..."

Chen Shi couldn't continue, his throat choked, "Zhang Shuran, you were the one who insisted on breaking into my life, you have to spend your whole life with me, no, one life is not enough, I won't kick you out, you You can't run away, talk!"

Huang Dan rubbed his wet face against the quilt. He didn't expect that this person would have such a strong resistance to death. He would react like this if he said it. If it happened one day, he didn't know what it would be like.

"I'm not running."

No matter how many times Chen Shi asked, Huang Dan replied.

His hands were lowered, Chen Shi finished the beating, and he felt so uncomfortable that he was dying. He looked at the palm prints on the boy's buttocks, went to fetch water and put a towel on it without saying a word.

Huang Dan hissed and cried again, "Don't, take the towel away."

Chen Shi said in a hoarse voice, "Hold on, the swelling will go down."

He wiped away the tears from the boy's face, "Why don't I take you to the hospital."

Huang Dan said no, "It will be fine in the afternoon."

Chen Shi was hugged tightly in his arms, and patted his hands, "Zhang Shuran, you are not yet an adult, and you have a long time to go, so do I, do you know?"

Huang Dan was groggy, and said in a vague voice that he knew.

Listening to the boy's breathing, Chen Shi sighed, "I'm really crazy..."

"I was not like this before, Zhang Shuran, you turned me into a crazy person, you have to be responsible for me, don't leave me alone."

Huang Dan woke up, it was already dark.

It wasn't that he slept too long, it was that the winter night came too early, which caught people off guard.

Huang Dan opened his eyes in a daze, smelling the aroma of the food, he yawned, but he didn't get up from the bed, "Chen Shi."

The curtain was lifted, and Chen Shi took a clip to one side, "Get up and have dinner."

Huang Dan looked at the SpongeBob SquarePants apron on his chest, "Where did it come from?"

Chen Shi touched his forehead sadly, and said with a sigh, "You really don't care about me, I told you before going to bed yesterday."

Huang Dan remembered, it was a gift from the supermarket, "It looks good."

Chen Shi's face twitched, "Is this thing still good-looking? Just lie to me, anyway, you often lie to me."

Huang Dan said, "It's really good-looking, I won't lie to you."

Chen Shile was overwhelmed, and came over to fish the boy out of the bed, and kissed him on the lips, "Brother looks better without clothes on, I'll let you see enough at night."

Huang Dan's face was flushed, he had just left the bed, he was wearing long johns and was shivering from the cold.

Chen Shi had already stuffed the boy's clothes at the end of the bed to cover, he quickly took them out and threw them over, "Put on the clothes quickly."

When Huang Dan touched it, it was hot, "Thank you."

Chen Shi almost fell to the ground, he raised eyebrows, "Fuck, are you still so polite to me?"

Yellow list, "..."

Chen Shi gritted his teeth, "I really want to hit you."

Huang Dan's butt was aching, "Don't hit me, it hurts."

Chen Shi's breathing was stagnant. He spanked the boy's butt in the afternoon, and his intestines were almost green with regret. How could he do it, but he said, "Then are you obedient?"

Huang Dan said, "I am obedient."

Something welled up in Chen Shi's eyes, which was suppressed by him, and he opened his arms towards the boy.

Huang Dan leaned over to give him a hug.

Chen Shi hugged the boy, tightened his arms and strangled, "Fat."

Yellow list, "..."

At night, Huang Dan heard the sound of ticking. It was the icicles under the eaves melting water. The sound was so loud that he couldn't sleep. As soon as he turned over, the hand on his waist tightened a little, "sleep .”

Huang Dan nestled in Chen Shi's arms, "It's very noisy."

Chen Shi clamped his feet with his legs, stretched out his hands to feel them, and finally it was warm, "It'll be fine if the icicles outside melt away."

Huang Dan lay down for a while, but still couldn't fall asleep, "I'll get up and get a glass of water."

"What water to drink in the middle of the night, you lie down, I'll go."

Chen Shi was in good health, so he didn't wear a coat, so he went outside in thin clothes and trousers. When he came back, he held a mug in his hand, "I mixed it with cold boiled water, and it was just right for drinking."

Huang Dan went over to take a few sips, and Chen Shi drank the rest.

The ticking sound outside the door continued, especially in the silent night.

Huang Dan took Chen Shi's phone to play Snake.

Chen Shi was very sleepy, but he didn't sleep, so he coaxed the boy, "Sleep."

Huang Dan said, "Listen to the sound of dripping water."

Chen Shi, "I think you just slept too much in the afternoon."

He yawned, pulled his eyelids twice, and rubbed his face again, "I'll get you some papers to make."

Yellow list, "..."

So in the middle of the night, Huang Dan was lying on the bed doing papers, and Chen Shi was reciting English words by the side. When the teacher saw it, he burst into tears.

The next day, the original owner's parents came over and brought a lot of things from home, including rice, cabbage, yams, eggs...the house didn't feel empty at all.

Chen Shi treated him politely, and his uncles and aunts called him, just like a mature and stable big brother.

The original owner's parents boasted that Chen Shi was sensible and wanted their son to learn more from him.

Chen Shi said shyly, "Shu Ran's homework is better than mine, and I still have to ask him what I don't understand."

The original owner's parents thought he was being polite.

Huang Dan watched from the side, and silently twitched.

After putting everything away, the family went to a relative's house for dinner, and brought two large bottles of rapeseed oil, some home-grown vegetables, and a bucket of free-range eggs.

My relative is in his 30s and is not tall, about 1.6 meters. His wife is a little taller. Both of them pay attention to health preservation and like green and pollution-free food.

The original owner's father took the cigarettes from his relatives, saying that they were given by others, that he doesn't smoke, and that he still has good wine.

There was a great atmosphere at the dinner table.

Chen Shi originally wanted to warm up the unfinished braised pork, and then make a soup with half a piece of tofu and green vegetables, which would be meaty and vegetarian, but he couldn't see anyone, so he felt boring.

The room was deserted.

Chen Shi casually took a bag of instant noodles to fill his stomach, boiled water and soaked them lazily, and ate them dry.

It was almost nine o'clock when Huang Dan went back, and there was no light in the room. He yelled, and the light bulb turned on, casting a dim yellow light on the top of his hair.

Chen Shi didn't know when he fell asleep, there was a bag of instant noodles on the bed, "Where are your parents?"

Huang Dan took off the scarf, "Let's go."

Chen Shi sat up and scratched his disheveled hair, "It's so late, I thought they were going to stay for the night."

Huang Dan said that they were reluctant to part with the hotel money, "What did you have for dinner?"

Chen Shi said it was instant noodles.

Huang Dan frowned, "Isn't there food and vegetables? Why do you want to eat that?"

The person on the bed was strong and full of strength, and he couldn't be underestimated sitting there, but he put on a pitiful look, "You're not here, I don't want to eat."

Huang Dan said, "Nonsense."

Chen Shi's face was on fire, he got out of bed and walked in front of the boy, lowered his head and took a deep breath into the boy's neck, feeling that half of his life had come back.

Huang Dan's body was cold and his hands were cold, so he put it under Chen Shi's clothes, "The stove is still alive, let me warm up your food."

Chen Shihan shivered a bit, cursed, but grabbed the boy's hand into his arms, and took it out after warming it up.

When there are more people in the room, Chen Shi gets excited, he circles around the other person, "Your parents are very satisfied with me."

Huang Dan said, "Yes."

Chen Shi hugged the young man from behind and bit his ear, "Zhang Shuran, in the future your parents will ask you to ask for a wife, will you ask for it?"

Huang Dan said, "I've already asked for it."

Chen Shi didn't realize it all at once, and when he did, his neck was red, "What are you talking about, you are me
