kill a canary

Still a little nervous, lips pursed tightly.

Shen Yixiu looked at him with a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to experience the legendary acceleration from 3 kilometers in [-] seconds? Ran Ran."

The corner of Chen Ran's mouth twitched: "I... am a little scared..."

"You are really bitten by a snake once, and you are afraid of well ropes for ten years. I will help you look after it, what is there to be afraid of." Shen Yixiu fastened his seat belt and encouraged him: "I am ready."

Chen Ran nodded, took a deep breath, kicked the accelerator, and there was a loud "boom", the sports car shot out like a silver-gray bullet, and the scenery outside the car window instantly turned into a group of phantoms, and quickly receded .Chen Ran felt that the blood in his whole body was rushing to the top of his head, and his heart seemed to be electrified.Chen Ran whistled excitedly in the extreme pleasure brought by the speed. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shen Yixiu, and saw that he was sitting beside him calmly, without changing expression or beating heartbeat.

In Chen Ran's impression, Shen Yixiu doesn't like sports cars. He likes the particularly tough and aggressive off-road vehicles. He can't drive in the city. When he usually does business, he usually drives Bentley, Rolls Royce and other elegant and noble cars. , I drove a red MiniCooper around in my leisure time.Chen Ran felt that this was very incomprehensible.

Shen Yixiu said something very mysterious: "Everything in the middle is mediocre."

With a comprehended expression on Chen Ran's face, she translated this sentence in her heart: "I am a pervert with inner contradictions."...

"It's almost done, there is a camera in front." Shen Yixiu smiled lightly, and said this in a very kind tone, just like an elder telling a child, "You can't eat too much if it's delicious."

Chen Ran nodded, slowed down, drove for another hour, got off the highway, walked around the mountain road covered by green trees for a while, and finally stopped in front of a white building.

Beside the round arched carved iron gate, the golden words on the black sign are shining: Xinyu Care Center for Special Children.

The teacher and the nurse led the two of them through the spacious courtyard. It was the hottest time at noon, and there were almost no people outside.

"Mr. Shen, Sisi is taking a nap, do you want me to wake her up?" The young female teacher turned around and asked politely while walking.

Shen Yixiu looked at Chen Ran, and Chen Ran nodded politely to the female teacher: "Teacher Luo, why don't we wait for her for a while, there's no rush."

Teacher Luo nodded and brought them into the office. Chen Ran asked again, "How is Sisi?"

Teacher Luo answered while making tea for them: "Sisi's condition is still very stable, and now physical therapy behavioral intervention is the main focus, and her language ability has also improved."

Chen Ran nodded, her eyes seemed to be staring at the water glass in her hand, but she seemed to be completely out of focus, as if she was in a daze.

Shen Yixiu put his hand on his thigh and squeezed it lightly to show comfort.

Teacher Luo pretended not to see, said something casually, then turned around and left.

Shen Yixiu stood up and walked in front of Chen Ran, took his head and pressed it against his chest: "It's been four years, how long do you have to blame yourself? Sisi is very good here, the most professional Doctors and teachers, the best environment and equipment, what else do you worry about?"

Chen Ran gave a muffled hum, and said in a low voice, "It's better than having my mother by my side..." A soreness rushed into his nostrils, and Chen Ran almost cried. He tried hard to open his eyes and force the tears back .

Shen Yixiu was speechless, he didn't want to mention what happened four years ago, if it wasn't for Chen Ran's insistence, he wouldn't want Chen Ran to see this little girl at all.

After a while, Teacher Luo came to call them, and Sisi woke up.

Chen Ran and Shen Yixiu followed Teacher Luo to Sisi's bedroom. The room was decorated with bright colors and a warm atmosphere. An eight-year-old girl with braids was lying on the small table and drawing. It's not so much about drawing as about her It's just poking around on white paper with a crayon.

Aggressive... Aggressive...

The monotonous voice beat rhythmically on the eardrums in the quiet room, and there was no intention of stopping after they entered the room.

Sisi just looked up, her indifferent eyes rested on Chen Ran for a while, and then she continued to poke at her painting again.

Shen Yixiu didn't have much patience with an eight-year-old autistic girl who couldn't communicate. He squeezed Chen Ran's hand, gestured for a phone call, and quietly left the door.

Chen Ran changed into the guest slippers, walked into the room, and sat cross-legged on the carpet under the table gently, keeping a distance of half a meter from Sisi.Sisi glanced at him again.

Chen Ran smiled and asked, "Sisi, what are you drawing?" He just noticed that Sisi was actually holding a white crayon on the white paper, poking out many vaguely discernible white dots deeply and shallowly. point.

After a long, long time, the old Chen Ran almost forgot what she asked, Sisi finally spoke, she stared at the paper in front of her, and said one word rigidly: "Wall."

"What?" Chen Ran was stunned for a moment before realizing that Sisi was answering his question: "You said you painted a wall?"

Sisi stopped talking, she pushed a piece of paper and a few crayons in front of Chen Ran, and then buried herself in her work.Chen Ran smiled helplessly, so she had no choice but to pick up a pen and accompany her to draw.

Chen Ran occasionally turned her head to glance at the little girl next to her. Sisi was actually very good-looking, with fair and delicate skin, exuding a transparent brilliance under the sun, like a porcelain doll, with long and dense eyelashes. The drooping eyelids were drawn down, leaving a thin ring of pale shadow under the eye.

Every time Chen Ran looked at her, she was beautiful but never knew it. She was claustrophobic like an isolated island, like a flower that withers before it blooms. And pass.

……

Four years ago, Chen Ran was 18 years old, but he had been drifting in Beijing for two years.

In the past two years, he sent flyers in winter and delivered couriers in summer. When it rained heavily, the rented basement leaked water. He ordered a cone all night and stayed in McDonald's. The tidied up bits and pieces are looking for a house everywhere, and the luggage is lost all the way...

By the spring of that year, Chen Ran’s life was much better in comparison. He sang in a bar every night, and occasionally got some jobs as wild models. The rented house was also changed from a basement to a bungalow in a small alley and a large courtyard. The bar owner was very kind to him, knowing that he lived far away, and lent him a very old small Xiali to drive.

Chen Ran is already very satisfied. He didn't graduate from high school, and he is single and weak. If he can survive in such a cold and strange city, what extravagance do he have?But what he didn't expect was that luck seemed to have suddenly discovered his existence, and willfully smashed a god-given opportunity on his head.

At that time, Xingyi Entertainment was cooperating with a certain satellite TV to organize a large-scale music inspirational talent show "Singing the World of Stars". The national audition was in full swing. Chen Ran was persuaded by the bar owner Lao Wei and a group of little brothers to sign up. What happened, I thought that it would be a good idea to join in the excitement when I was idle. I heard that this kind of competition is very deep, and I won't let a frog in a well like him get a glimpse of the sky.

Unexpectedly, he passed all the way from the audition to the sub-divisions, and unexpectedly made it to the top 32 in the country.The director team called him and informed him that he had entered the top 32 and was about to participate in the official program recording. He woke up from the dreamlike trance of the competition selection, and suddenly realized that maybe the opportunity to change his life is just Here we come.

He has been submissive since he was a child, and he is happy with the situation. In fact, he does not have such a persistent dream or sincere enthusiasm for music, but he feels that he is basically useless except for being good-looking and singing. If he has another chance, he can change his life. , to live a life of dignity and hope, that is now.After thinking about this point clearly, for the first time in his life, he had a strong desire to accomplish something.

In fact, it is not so important what ranking he can get in the end. As long as he enters the top 32 and participates in the real competition, it is already a victory for Chen Ran.Because after the show is recorded and aired on the stars, even if he doesn't win the ranking, many people will know him. Hundreds of millions of viewers and people in various circles are closely watching this super draft ceremony.Maybe his parents who have long since cut off contact with him will also watch this show?What will they think?Will you cheer for him and be proud of him, or even take the initiative to contact him? ...

Chen Ran concentrated all his time and energy on practicing and preparing seriously, but a week passed after receiving the notification call, and Chen Ran did not receive any more news.According to what the director team said last time, it was to let him prepare with peace of mind. Someone will contact him a week later, and then he will arrange closed training in a unified manner.At first, he couldn't wait for the news. Chen Ran just thought it was a normal progress delay, but after several days, he checked the trend of the program on the Internet, and everything was done step by step. It seems that some students have already started closed training, and they have always been passive and shy. Chen Ran couldn't sit still anymore. He called his contact person, but the line was either busy or no one answered.For no reason, Chen Ran spent his days like years, until one night, he was absent-mindedly practicing singing in the rented room, and the bar owner, Old Wei, called him——

"Ran Ran, are you... okay?" Old Wei's voice was obviously worried.

"What's wrong? I'm fine." Chen Ran was puzzled.

"Don't you know yet? Go online and look, "Singing Star World" officially released the top 32 list..."

Chen Ran couldn't hear what Old Wei was saying, so he threw himself in front of his second-hand computer and opened the search engine——

His name is not on the official top 32 list at all.

Chen Ran was stunned, and he looked it over several times, and it was indeed not there. Old Wei's voice came vaguely from the phone: "Ran Ran? Are you there? I want to open it up. This kind of draft is very black, and we have no background or background." For resources, it’s normal if you can’t get in…”

"No... Impossible... I obviously received a call... The director assistant also said that I performed very well..." Chen Ran was going crazy, he was almost incoherent in panic and anxiety, and hurriedly clicked on every item and "" Singing the information related to "Star World", the hand that clicked the mouse trembled uncontrollably.

"I won't tell you now, thank you, Brother Wei." Chen Ran hung up the phone indiscriminately, and dialed the contact person of the program group again, but no one answered.He finally understood that they were avoiding him at all, and should have blocked him a long time ago, there must be something wrong here.

He believed what Old Wei said, and he was probably squeezed out by someone with a background of resources.So forget it?Just sit back and let others bully?The rabbit bites when it is in a hurry, and it must die, Chen Ran thought, made up his mind, picked up the car keys from the table and strode out the door.

It was completely dark, and his old computer was flickering with vague lights on the varnished folding table. The webpage on the screen displayed the latest news of "Singing Star World": at eight o'clock tonight, "Singing Star World" "Star World" will hold a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel.

☆, accident

Lin Yihui, the vice president of Xingyi Entertainment, was sitting in his spacious and bright office, drinking coffee while flipping through the top 32 finalists of "Singing the World of Stars". Report: "Mr. Lin, the front desk called to say that Mr. Shen is back..."

"I know, I know," Lin Yihui interrupted impatiently: "Isn't it normal for the boss to come back? Why are you nervous?" He suddenly thought of something, looked up at the blushing little girl, and smiled narrowly. The last "I understand" expression: "Have you not met Shen Yixiu yet?"

"Ah? Oh, yes." The little girl was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

"Then do you want him to send you a limited autographed photobook or just take an intimate group photo in my office?" Lin Yihui looked at her kindly.

"Ah? Can I...can I?" the little girl asked in surprise after a brief shock.

"Okay, do you want me to pose for you and take a photo with you, then print it out, mount it in a frame and hang it in your office?" Lin Yihui still looked at her kindly.

"Ah? This..." "I won't bother Mr. Lin." Before she could say a few words, the little girl saw Lin Yihui's handsome face change from an amiable big brother to a vicious strange man, and then she listened to Vice President Lin. Roared: "You think it's beautiful, do you want me to report Shen Yixiu's 24-hour itinerary a day to you, and send you a real-time high-value sneak shot in one minute?! I hired you to do it The job is not a nympho, OK?! Why don’t you hurry up? Wait for the boss to treat you to dinner!”

The little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out, she rushed out of the office and almost ran into her male god, Shen Yixiu, who was about to enter the door.

"What is this for? Why are you scolding the assistant again?" Shen Yixiu came in unhurriedly, looking at Lin Yihui with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, the little girl is ignorant, tune-teach, tune-teach." Lin Yihui leaned back into the leather boss chair, and said half-jokingly: "You joined the company right after you came back from the film crew, so why don't you trust me?"

"Well, I'm most assured of you. I'm bored..." Shen Yixiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and cast a sideways glance at Lin Yihui, her tone somewhat helpless.

"Boring? Did I hear you right?..." Lin Yihui looked at him like he was looking at an alien, smiled wickedly, and said with a bit of sourness: "I was just about to tell you that the media caught you talking to me Xu Yuan is gone, what's the matter? Should I suppress it or just stir it up?"

"Whatever...you can figure it out...what are you doing? What is this?" Shen Yixiu picked up a stack of documents on the desk and flipped through them casually.

"The top 32 of "Singing the World of Stars", boss, I'm just about to report to you, our project is very popular, and we can go home to celebrate the New Year after completing this vote this year, hahaha, now the exclusive title of the show has been fired It's reached 5000 million..."

Shen Yixiu didn't seem to hear it, his eyes fell on a photo in his hand, it was a photo of the life of the contestants, in the photo a thin and beautiful boy was leaning against a white field where creepers and vines were scattered sparsely. On the wall, looking at him with a smile, his smile is shallow, a little shy, a little hesitant to talk, the two pear dimples at the corners of his mouth are like two whirlpools, and he can't help but suck him in.His eyes curved into beautiful arcs because of his smile, and there seemed to be stars jumping in his pupils, showing the innocence of a teenager.However, Shen Yixiu saw another thing from such innocence, burning straight into the bottom of his heart like a flame...

"Hey, are you listening to me? What are you looking at?" Lin Yihui poked his head halfway over, saw the photo in Shen Yixiu's hand, and immediately felt ominous.

Shen Yixiu was still staring at the boy in the photo, with a slight smile on his lips. He didn't look at Lin Yihui, and asked him casually, "How about this one? Chen Ran?"

"Ah, this...not bad." Lin Yihui glanced at Shen Yixiu with complicated eyes: "He can sing well, but he's not particularly talented. But he looks good. Boys these days are so soft The appearance of a weak little goblin, with a face that eats the sky, packs it well, makes a combination or something, it can be popular."

Shen Yixiu smiled lightly, not paying attention to the sour sarcasm in his words, he gave Lin Yihui other materials, and Chen Ran still held in his hand: "I've kept this one, you can choose another one. "

Lin Yihui has been by Shen Yixiu's side for almost ten years, and he has been his manager in the early years. The tacit understanding between him and Shen Yixiu has reached the point where there is no need to say a word.But he still curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Then why bother? If you really like it, you can keep him in the competition. There aren't more chances. When the time comes, just give him a random handful, and he'll crawl on your bed obediently."

Shen Yixiu stopped talking, stared at the photo for a while, and then slowly shook his head and said, "This one is different." After speaking, he put Chen Ran's photo and information on the table.

Lin Yihui looked sad: "Although the list has not been officially released, I have been notified. You will really give me problems..."

"I don't care, you can take care of it." Shen Yixiu said lightly. In the past ten years, he has said this sentence to Lin Yihui countless times.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Yihui rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry about it." This sentence has been repeated countless times.

Lin Yihui: "..."

The two talked about other things, and Shen Yixiu left. He was busy acting and directing plays, and sometimes wrote scripts. He dedicated himself to art like a moth to a flame. Muse, or god.Poor Lin Yihui was so busy with him, running the company to take care of business and various investments, he could only dedicate his life for money.

Lin Yihui watched Shen Yixiu's tall and elegant back go out, sighed, and cursed again, is this a new taste?How is this different?That little boy is as skinny as a chicken, what's the point?I don't know if Shen Yixiu can break the record this time and persist for three months...

Lin Yihui had no choice but to pick up the phone and call the little assistant: "Hey, Xiao Dong, bring me the information about the 33rd place in "Singing the World of Stars."

One minute later, Lin Yihui flipped through the information of the 1rd place unlucky guy, showed a bewildered smile of fate, and said to himself: "Ouhan, you really got shit luck..."

……

A few days later, the press conference of "Singing the World of Stars" at the Four Seasons Hotel had just ended. Lin Yihui was busy dealing with the media, and Shen Yixiu pulled out to relax on the terrace with a glass of wine. The dust is blowing and the visibility is even lower at night.But he was really tired of the masquerade-like atmosphere inside and the brainless problems of the brainless media, so he wanted to be quiet and quiet.

When he was alone, he thought of Chen Ran. He was too busy these days and didn't take care of that boy. What is he doing now?Presumably, I should know that I lost the election. Are you sad?Will you all cry?Shen Yixiu imagined the scene of Chen Ran weeping silently with red eye circles, and his heart ached a little.It's okay, it's okay, I'll save you soon, little angel, he silently comforted Chen Ran in his heart, and comforted himself, then took a gulp of red wine.

A figure hurried over, Shen Yixiu saw that it was Sun Yang, his personal assistant for many years.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yixiu frowned.

"Boss, that boy, Chen Ran, something happened!" Sun Yang ran up to him and said anxiously in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yixiu's expression changed suddenly, and the air around him became tense.

"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on him? About three hours ago, the person following over there said that he was driving out and lost the car very quickly. When he caught up again, the child had an accident ..."

"What?! Did he have a car accident?" Shen Yixiu's face turned pale, and he roared out of control.

"He's fine! But he hit someone else. It's in an alley not far from here. When our people passed by, the police and ambulance arrived..."

Shen Yixiu took a deep breath, knowing that Chen Ran was fine, and he slowly put back his heart that had been raised just now: "How is the person who was hit? Where is Chen Ran now?"

Sun Yang was frightened by Shen Yixiu's anxious look just now, he was always calm and composed as if a mountain was collapsing in front of his eyes without changing his face like Shen Yixiu, it is rare for him to be like this.

"No... I don't know yet. The scene is quite chaotic. The person who was hit seems to be a woman, and she brought a little girl with her... Boss, don't worry, I will investigate right away."

"Go! Tell me where Chen Ran is, what the condition of the injured person is, which hospital he is in, and his background... Remember to find a lawyer." Shen Yixiu spoke quickly, his eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

Sun Yang kept saying yes, yes, yes, yes, and hurriedly backed out.

Shen Yixiu regained his usual calmness and self-control, his deep eyes looked at the misty night outside the railing, the sea of ​​lights in the city transformed into strange lights and shadows in the gray air, just like his complicated mood at the moment.It's just a beautiful boy who hasn't met, why was he so anxious just now?He smiled self-deprecatingly, and knocked over the red wine glass that was set aside with a movement of his hand. The wine glass rolled to the ground and shattered in an instant.

☆, first sight

Chen Ran sat in the detention center all night, watching helplessly as the sky turned pale and the small dark room gradually lit up.In one day, what he experienced has exceeded the limit he can bear, fate is like a bad child, willfully playing the most ruthless jokes on him.One second you didn't have time to rejoice at the generosity of fate, and the next second you were thrown into the abyss. You thought that the worst thing was just that, but you found that there are thousands of poisonous snakes spitting letters waiting to eat your flesh under the abyss. , drink your blood.

Chen Ran was surrounded by a deep sense of absurdity and powerlessness, and couldn't even think about what happened normally.In the dark night where he couldn't see the road ahead, the figure suddenly flashed in the alley, the sound of screeching brakes, the white figure and black high-heeled shoes flying past his eyes, the bewildered eyes and the stern expression of the little girl in the red dress. scream...

Everything played back in his mind over and over again like slow motion, but he couldn't connect them together.In a trance, Chen Ran felt that there was another self, the childhood self, sitting aside and looking at him coldly.

Little Chen Ran held a model of Transformers Bumblebee in his hand, and suddenly said mockingly: "Chen Ran, do you want this?" It fell heavily on the ground: "Why do you want it? You don't deserve it, you don't deserve any good things..."

Chen Ran shook his head vigorously to drive away this incomparably real phantom. He felt that he must be crazy.

After an unknown amount of time, the police came to take him out, saying that someone wanted to see him, but he followed him numbly, without even thinking about who would come to see him.

There were two people sitting in the meeting room, a young man with a gentle face and glasses, and a fat middle-aged man in a suit.Chen Ran glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, not knowing each other at all.

Sun Yang watched Chen Ran sit on the opposite chair under the direction of the police. The boy in front of him was haggard and red-eyed, as pitiful as a dying little white rabbit unable to struggle.

"I'm Sun Yang, and this is Lawyer Pan." Sun Yang looked at him calmly and said flatly.

"I...don't know you guys." Chen Ran was silent for a moment, looked at Sun Yang in confusion, and finally said with difficulty.

"The lady you injured last night, at three o'clock in the morning, the rescue failed and she was already dead." Sun Yang looked into his eyes and said calmly and clearly.

Chen Ran's eyes widened suddenly, as if about to say something, his lips moved, but finally he closed his eyes without saying anything.The meeting room was quiet, and the time seemed to be stretched infinitely. Chen Ran felt that his heart was pulled out by a giant hand, hanging in the air, thrown up and down, blood dripping from the fall.There was a sudden throbbing pain in his stomach, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold it down, cold sweat streaming down his pale cheeks.

Sun Yang frowned and looked at it, a little distressed, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Ran shook his head feebly, and pinched the flesh of his stomach, letting the sharp pain relieve the huge pressure.

Sun Yang made up his mind and continued: "The little girl brought by the victim has autism, and she came to Beijing to treat her illness. The little girl's father has already arrived overnight, and we just met him. That man is a Scoundrel, regardless of his wife's life or daughter's condition, he will ask for 200 million compensation."

"I don't have any money..." Chen Ran whispered, her red eyes gleaming with water.

Sun Yang was worried secretly, and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this, my boss is willing to help you..."

Chen Ran raised her head and interrupted him, and said stubbornly: "But I don't know you, what are you going to do?"

Sun Yang shrugged: "Nothing, you just agree to meet my boss and have a meal with him."

Just as Chen Ran was about to ask, Lawyer Pan interjected, "Little brother, you can file a criminal case for causing death in a traffic accident. You can be sentenced to imprisonment or criminal detention for less than three years. You are only 18 years old, right?" Ran: "But you are only 18, and you have to bear full criminal responsibility. If you are so young, if you are sentenced, your life will be ruined."

Lawyer Pan observed Chen Ran's reaction. The boy across from him lowered his brows and forced himself to be calm. He didn't see anything on the surface. He turned his head and glanced at Sun Yang, who nodded imperceptibly.

Lawyer Pan continued to teach: "But the determination of responsibility for the accident is... more subtle. There was no camera at the intersection, and there were no witnesses at the time. You said that the child jumped out suddenly, and her mother rushed to save her, but who? Can you prove it? And it is true that you were speeding. But if we actively compensate and obtain the understanding of the victim’s family, the situation will be very beneficial to us, and there is great hope for an out-of-court settlement without filing a case.”

Listening to these words, Chen Ran's head was buzzing, doubts, fears, guilt... all kinds of emotions were overwhelmed, stirring his consciousness into a chaotic undercurrent.He couldn't think, and simply said nothing, staring at the dark gray ground under his feet.

Sun Yang saw that it was almost done, and fanned the flames harder: "You don't have to be afraid, we have no malicious intentions. You sang in the bar before, and my boss went there a few times, quite..." Sun Yang thought about his words: "I appreciate you. I also wanted to make friends with you, but it happened that you were in trouble again, so he was happy to help you."

Chen Ran's mind finally turned. There were many and mixed guests in the bar, men and women with power and power, and it was not uncommon for them to show affection to him repeatedly, but if this is the case...

Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, raised his head, and his eyes were clear for a moment. He looked into Sun Yang's eyes with a determination like a broken pot: "If this is the case, then I thank you for your kindness. I did it myself. Take responsibility on your own, we are strangers, I dare not accept such a great affection." Although Chen Ran is poor, he still has principles and dignity. Yes, how can I pay him back in the future?

Sun Yangrao has been around the rivers and lakes for many years and has seen countless people. At this moment, he is almost so angry that he bleeds to death, cursing in his heart, what kind of strange thing did he encounter today?Think you're the Virgin Mary?I've seen people who don't understand flattery, but I've never seen someone who doesn't understand flattery to such a strange degree!

He watched Chen Ran stand up staggeringly, thinking that he would throw his face away and leave, thinking that he would be scolded by Shen Yixiu if he went back like this after a night without sleep, he was impatient and didn't know what to do, Dian Guang Between the flints, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he called to Chen Ran: "Chen Ran, I also mentioned to you just now, the woman you killed, she has a daughter..."

Chen Ran turned around and looked at him fixedly.

Seeing his reaction, Sun Yang calmed down a little bit, his face showed infinite regret, but his eyes were aggressive: "The girl's name is Tian Sisi, she is four years old, and she is basically identified as autistic. The girl's father doesn't have a serious job. You are like an idle rogue, you have killed someone's mother now, and there is no compensation, how will you let the little girl live in the future? Can you bear this responsibility in prison?"

Chen Ran was in a trance for a while, the tension, anxiety and exhaustion of the day and night made him on the verge of collapse, and he began to replay the scene of last night uncontrollably in his mind. In the chaos, the little girl in the red skirt stood in the middle of the road and looked at him. Her eyes were indifferent and confused, and her beautiful face was pale under the light of the broken headlights. Then, she turned her head and saw her mother's body lying in a ball not far in front of her, like an old quilt. The girl stood still, and suddenly burst into terrifying and shrill screams, one after another, piercing into Chen Ran's heart like countless sharp swords whistling.

Chen Ran grasped the edge of the table tightly with both hands, his nails almost sank into the wood texture, he barely stood up straight, and after a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "That girl... Sisi, how is it now?"

Sun Yang hit the iron while the iron was hot, and hurriedly said: "Stay with her father, we will temporarily place them in a hotel near the hospital....Don't worry, we can help you compensate her. The one-time compensation includes her upbringing, Treatment and education expenses. As long as you are willing to honor me and have a meal with my boss and make friends." When he said the last sentence, Sun Yang's tone was a little sarcastic and impatient.

The small room fell into deathly silence again. Chen Ran slowly sat down on the chair, swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "Can you count your words?"

Sun Yang smiled, and his tone became brisk: "Don't worry. I didn't come to play house with you if I didn't sleep all night. Besides, why should I lie to you? What is there for me to lie to you?"

Chen Ran knew that this was a big truth, there was nothing he could do with being penniless, and he had no choice.

"Okay. I promise." Chen Ran said these words, as if exhausted all his strength, he looked up at Sun Yang weakly: "Can I see Sisi?"

"Of course." Sun Yang's heart finally fell to the ground, and he let out a long breath: "Don't be impatient, we will talk to Mr. Tian soon, and then release you on bail pending trial."

……

Three days later, when Chen Ran came out of the detention center, Sun Yang stood by the car door with his arms crossed, looking at him with disinterest.

"Where are we going?" Chen Ran sat in the back seat of the car and subconsciously shrank herself in the corner.

"Don't ask. I won't sell you." Sun Yang started the car and said teasingly. He had almost broken his legs from running for the past two days, and he was not in such a good mood to speak nicely.

"I want to go home first. When will I see Sisi?" Chen Ran asked again.

"Why go home? The boss wants to see you, so he has to go now." Sun Yang observed him from the rearview mirror, and said, "Sisi, let's do it tomorrow. See the boss's arrangement."

Chen Ran stopped talking, and twisted uncomfortably. Sun Yang saw his thoughts at a glance: "We are going to the hotel now, you take a shower first, and you are ready to change your clothes. In the evening, the boss will have dinner with you at the hotel." a meal."

Chen Ran's heart sank suddenly, and he subconsciously grabbed the door handle.

Sun Yang glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled contemptuously: "The speed of the car is [-] mph now, if you jump off the car and fall to your death, I will not be responsible."

Chen Ran resentfully withdrew his hand, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Who is your boss?" He has been thinking about this question for the past two days, screening out the customers who often go to the bar, completely clueless.

"Of course you will know when we get there." Sun Yang said impatiently, making up his mind not to answer his question.

"Both men and women can't tell me?" But Chen Ran asked persistently.

"..." Sun Yang coughed twice unnaturally, curled his lips: "Man." Then he quickly looked at Chen Ran in the rearview mirror, Chen Ran lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly.

The car was parked in front of a fresh and elegant hotel. It was not in the downtown area. It looked like a resort. The environment was very good, with green grass. It was late spring and early summer, and gorgeous flowers bloomed one tree after another.

Chen Ran got out of the car and looked up at the sky. The sunset was slowly setting with its last red tail.

Sun Yang also got out of the car with him, stood beside him, and gently pulled his arm. Chen Ran turned around and looked up at him slightly.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Chen Ran's porcelain-like delicate face, coating his young and beautiful face with a layer of light gold. His eyes shone with misty and clear water, reflecting the clouds in the sky.Looking at such beautiful and childish eyes, Sun Yang suddenly felt a little distressed.

Pretending to be relaxed, he turned his head slightly, took out a room card from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Ran's hand: "I still have something to do, you can go up by yourself.
