Chapter 18 Innocent

Just one afternoon, Jiada "topped" the news headlines.

Lu Xun's video defending him was maliciously edited and uploaded on various social platforms with the title: Jiada teachers are worse than beasts to harass students, what is the reason for hurting people?

In the picture, he and Lu Xun are completely exposed. Lu Xun stands in front of him and pushes the person holding the camera. He is full of anger, and the camera rotates and shakes. In the chaos, it falls from his tight jaw to his The veined hand hinted at an imminent atrocity, and finally plunged into darkness amidst the screams.

Things fermented so quickly, Lu Heyang did not expect.

But within reason, returnee professors, institutions of higher learning, teachers and students, romantic relationships, and violence are precisely the most eye-catching and explosive elements. They are concentrated in this one incident, making it instantly detonate public opinion.

Too many WeChat messages, text messages and strange calls poured in, some of them were concerned, but more of them were insults. In addition to replying to the message from President Wang asking him to take a vacation, he turned off his phone again and sat back in his chair slumped.

Lu Xun took his mobile phone away, this time, Lu Heyang did not object.

"Desperation for the world does not mean not eating steak. The media has always been like this, don't be affected by them." Lu Xun raised the knife and fork again, "You are innocent, and nothing will happen."

Lu Heyang didn't speak, just lowered his head and drank the soup mechanically, then stuffed the steak into his mouth, before he finished chewing the last piece, he stuffed the next piece until he coughed with choking, followed by silent retching.

"Drink some water..." Lu Xun quickly stood up and took the water.

Lu Heyang pushed him away forcefully and ran towards the bathroom.

The flushing sound was intense and continuous, with no sign of turning it off.Lu Heyang supported the edge of the sink, looked at the dripping forehead hair and red eyes in the mirror, even the tip of his nose was red, and there was a sour smell in his mouth, he kept rinsing his mouth with cold water until his lips turned white , became icy cold.

The word "innocent" is ridiculous.

From the relationship with the adoptive father, to theft, and then to the resentment and entanglement with Lu Xun, Lu Heyang cracked his mouth and smiled, how can there be any innocence.At first, he thought that ten years had passed, and when he came back after he became famous, he could start his life frankly again, but now he has another infamy of harassing female students, and Lu Xun is also criticized by everyone.

Most likely his fate was bad.

Ten years ago, at his parents' funeral, a relative said so.

They whispered and pointed at him, saying that he was their own, but they were not familiar with him, and he didn't shed a single tear;Lu Bingwen and his wife, what a wonderful people.They sigh.He treated the adopted Lu Xun who was not related by blood as his own, and raised them tall and strong, but in the end, there was no good reward.

He did not shed tears.But so what?How ridiculous, it's only been three years since he came back to this house, and he hasn't had time to remember which teas Lu Bingwen likes, and he hasn't had enough of Su Mei's best pepper chicken.

His own injury hasn't healed, the cast hasn't been removed, and he doesn't understand how it all happened.Why did the driver of that heavy truck get drunk on the road; why everyone else in the car died, only he was still alive.

Because this incident was reported by the media, it was once popular as a typical example of parental love. Some people even dug up Lu Heyang's history of being trafficked. His feelings, impressions, those hungry eyes seemed to want to split his head to see if he was as sad as they imagined, and if he could give the answer they wanted.

Until everything returned to dust and the noisy crowd dispersed, he poured wine on a bench in a corner of the garden downstairs.This was his first time drinking, and he prepared ten bottles of beer, trying to force himself to cry, but he was drunk like a fool when he finished the first bottle.

The summer night in his memory was so dark and suffocating, the abundant gas in the wine bottle was transferred to his body, surged in his throat, and swam in his blood.He couldn't stand stably with a plaster cast on one leg, tripped over someone's shoe, and suddenly fell into the other's arms, smelling the hot and violent smell of the night wind on his body.

Under the dim streetlights, he could vaguely make out Lu Xun's gloomy expression, his jaw line was straight, and his brows were furrowed.

Lu Heyang's judgment on this emotion is disgust.

"Are you drinking to celebrate?" Lu Xun roughly pulled him away from his body, as if his skin would fester if he touched it for a second longer, and he didn't care whether Lu Heyang could stand still or fell to the ground, " You're happy? They're dead and you're alive."

"Yes." Lu Heyang laughed nonchalantly, picked up a bottle and handed it over, with a spicy wind tainted with alcohol, "Shall we come together?"

Celebrating the breaking of the only bond among us.

After the celebration we went our separate ways.

Celebrating going from nothing to nothing.

"Wolf-hearted!" Lu Xun scolded unbearably.

His life was completely ruined, but Lu Heyang was still drinking and laughing lazily, but fortunately he went downstairs to look for him, Lu Xun's eyes were completely cold.

He turned and walked upstairs.After walking tens of meters, I couldn't help but look back.The man behind him seemed to be holding him by the string, and he couldn't ignore the connection.

He saw Lu Heyang squatting on the ground, hugging his knees, shrugging his shoulders, and the lights and tree shadows gently concealed his suppressed weeping.Moths flew into the lampshade, and dust flew up.

"lemonade."

Lu Xun handed it over and tightened the faucet smoothly.

"Thank you." Lu Heyang took it and drank it in silence. The sweet and sour taste spread from his mouth, stimulating his taste buds and nerves, and his stomach felt better.

"Let's go?" Lu Xun took advantage of the opportunity to grab his shoulders, Lu Heyang dodged sideways, stretched his sleeves that were splashed by water, and walked outside.

There was nothing to say in the car.In the shadows and colors passing by the car window, Lu Heyang seemed to be a different person. Lu Xun had never been able to pry him open, and he even resisted his contact.

It wasn't until entering the corridor that Lu Heyang took out the key, that the crisp sound of the jingle bell broke the dead silence between the two and relieved the embarrassment for a moment.

"Wait a minute." Lu Xun suddenly lowered his voice and hid Lu Heyang behind him.

"what happened?"

Lu Xun made a silent gesture, and he gently opened the door. It was dark and silent inside.

He turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone and walked in. The shadows of the furniture became imposing, fluctuating up and down, changing with the angle of the light beam, like black vultures lurking and ready to attack at any time.

Lu Heyang's palms were sweating, the unknown exacerbated some uneasiness.
