Desperate

Moonlight poured in from the skylight of the detention center, illuminating the criss-crossing welts on the man's back.

The man, with his strong upper body naked, was lying on the wire bed with his back facing up, with one hand hanging from the head of the bed with a snow-white plaster cast on it.The head can be described as horrific. Almost everything he saw was covered with white bandages, and a large OK bandage was pasted on the brows, preventing the man from raising his eyebrows.

Zhou Pushen's professional intuition told him that he had lost too much blood for two consecutive days, and he needed to go to sleep immediately to conserve his energy.It's just that because someone has been sitting on the other side of the railing and chatting endlessly, Second Lieutenant Zhou's sleep plan has never been realized.

"Deep, don't hate the little beauty. We agreed before the hearing that you must not be handed over to those old fellows in the Senate, so the little beauty did this for your own good." play..."

Zhou Pushen raised his eyes weakly and cast a glance at the man squatting outside the glass barrier, not wanting to talk to him at all.

"Shen Shen, I knew you were angry, so I came here to persuade you, no matter what, our technical department is one family, but we must not engage in internal strife..."

Zhou Pu deeply thought that's right, I want to engage in internal strife now, if the conditions do not allow, I would jump out and beat you to death right now.

"Shen Shen... Look at me, look at me, are you angry or too tired..."

"Major," Zhou Pushen tried to speak to Liang Qian calmly with all his restraint, "I'm not angry, I just need to rest."

"Ah, you are really tired." The people outside didn't sense the imminent danger at all, and they leaned squarely against the glass window, tearfully saying: "Then you have a good rest, I will ask Professor Cen to come back tomorrow. "

Zhou Pushen straightened up suddenly, and with his only intact left hand, he pulled the blanket on the bed and covered the hideous scars on his back.He coughed in embarrassment: "I'm fine, it's not easy for Professor Cen to come here, let him come in."

"Hey Shen Shen, you really treat me differently. You don't want to see me a hundred times. When you meet someone who is on the top of your heart..."

Zhou Pu couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him hastily.What the second lieutenant regrets most now is that he told Liang Qian what was in his heart when he didn't know the dangers of people's hearts in the early years.

"Hmph, I'm shy." Liang Qian was not ready to let him go, she leaned forward slightly to look at the man's expression, and saw Zhou Pu's eyes as dark as a deep pool looking out of the skylight, and the starlight was reflected in his eyes. The bright Guanghua's expression was not as embarrassing as Liang Qian thought, but rather serious and frank.

Liang Qian was a little taken aback, and continued to ask him, "Seriously, what are you going to do next?"

"Nothing to do." Without any hesitation, Zhou Pushen turned his body on the wire bed and lay on his side. The rough blanket covered him tightly from his chest to his toes. He shrank inward, his face Facing the wall, try to hide the hideous wounds on his face in the shadows, "I will help him do what he wants, and I will help him block what he doesn't want to do. As long as I can be with him, that's enough."

Looking at Zhou Pushen's awkward movements, Liang Qian knew that he didn't want Cen Lu to know how badly he was hurt, so she sighed, "I think so too, you look like you can't even give a fart with a stick. , I feel ashamed for you."

When Liang Qian said this, he was half hating iron for being weak and half true. On the day of the hearing, Zhou Pushen was well greeted by Dou Huaiye from the top of his head to his chest. Military uniform, formed a blood scab.The logistics soldiers couldn't clean it no matter how they cleaned it, so they had to replace it with a new one in desperation.

The jury watched the play and handed over the right to execute the sentence to the military. Unfortunately, the injury on the head of the injured man was dragged into the interrogation room and given thirty lashes. It has been explained that the hands and feet should be light during the execution, but the leather whip is three inches thick, and it hits the flesh firmly, and when it is removed, there is a red and black mark.After thirty lashes, Zhou Pushen's entire back was devoid of good flesh, and the bruises and purple scars oozing blood ran across his fair skin, which was shocking enough to make one's scalp tingle.

However, Zhou Pushen still didn't say a word during the execution, and just let others teach him so honestly.Liang Qian looked at his reckless appearance and thought to himself, at least you should yell twice, and if you do, I will have a reason to commute your sentence.

But no.

In this way, Zhou Pushen used the scars all over his body to block the mouth of the Senate.

Someone knocked on Liang Qian's door, he turned and looked towards the corridor, where Cen Lu was standing there, looking at this side faintly in the flickering moonlight, with a dignified expression.

Liang Qian could no longer bear to look at the flash of light in Zhou Pu's deep eyes, like a drowning person discovering a life-saving rope thrown from the shore.

He shook his head and walked out of the interrogation room.

Cen Lu stared at Zhou Pu's deeply flustered face, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger.He was not allowed to enter the prison cell where Zhou Pushen was, and could only look at him through the entire glass.Fortunately, Cen Lu didn't intend to have intimate contact with the person opposite him at this time.

Cen Lu glanced past Zhou Pushen's dirty quilt, and watched him coldly wrapping himself up like a big girl, leaving only a pair of dark eyes.Cen Lu couldn't help sighing, picked up the phone hanging on the wall: "The quilt is so dirty, what should I do if the wound is infected."

Zhou Pu took off the quilt when he heard the words, and a muffled voice came from the phone: "I'm fine. It's cold here, brother, you should go back early."

He was telling the truth. It was the coldest spring, and the conditions of the detention center were no better than those of the Warship Building. Moreover, most of the people who were sent here were vicious and vicious, and could not enjoy the treatment of heating.The chill outside slowly seeped in through the thin walls of the interrogation room, and gradually even the two of them began to exhale white air while they were talking.

Cen Lu ignored him, and just sat down unhurriedly: "What's the matter, don't you wait to see brother? You just drove me away when I came here?"

Zhou Pu was very anxious, and quickly defended: "Of course not! Of course I'm happy that brother can come, but..."

It's just that I don't want you to see me in such a mess.

Of course Zhou Pushen couldn't say the second half of the sentence, so he fell silent suddenly, just staring at Cen Lu's tired expression, anxious dryly in his heart.

Cen Lu smiled, and the curved lips were illuminated by the moonlight: "Since you are happy to see me, don't drive me away. I am a soft-hearted man who just got this opportunity to see you. If I don't accompany you enough, I can't leave. "

What he said was a bit frivolous, Cen Lu was used to going his own way and didn't realize the inappropriateness of what he said just now, Zhou Pu listened deeply but his ears slowly turned red, and he didn't say much anymore.

"Aren't you going to ask me how I got the permission?" Cen Lu was a little dissatisfied with the man's sudden silence, eager to tell the reason he made up for coming to see Zhou Pushen.Zhou Pushen saw his naive thoughts, so he asked kindly: "How did you deal with those stupid people?"

At this moment, Cen Lu also forgot to maintain the resentful face just now, and showed off his quick wit with a little excitement: "I said, I will teach my students calculus, or he will fall too far behind and can't keep up with the progress of work."

Zhou Pushen: "...they agreed?"

"Yes, you don't know," Cen Lu added emphatically, "Emperor Gongda attaches great importance to students. After all, it is an old brand, and its reputation cannot be ruined."

Zhou Pu looked deeply at the man's face that had become lively again, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He originally thought that Cen Lu had come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. After all, he had no sympathy for Cen Lu during the hearing.Cen Lu is a man of noble character, forcing him to do things against his will will make him uncomfortable, Zhou Pu couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth when he thought of this, he knows this better than anyone else.

At this moment, he didn't intend to pour cold water on Cen Lu, but he just saw the man's smug look and thought it was cute. He sighed in his heart and didn't know if he would have the opportunity to continue to be Professor Cen's student after this incident.

"Brother, you are a good teacher." Zhou Pushen was finally willing to reveal his face from the colorless quilt, his black eyes looked at the man bathed in silver light in the darkness without blinking: "Yes Best I've ever seen."

Cen Lu blushed a little from the sudden praise, but luckily the light was dim now, which could cover his old face that only blushed once in 800 years.He waved his hand, and his eyes fell on Zhou Pushen. The man purposely sat in a blind spot where the skylight couldn't see him, but now he sat up straight because he wanted to express his importance. Half of his back was bathed in the moonlight. Cen Lu saw the traces clearly.

Cen Lu only felt that someone had grabbed his heart and squeezed him so much that his heart ached.

Only then did he realize that today he was here to inquire about crimes, but he didn't expect to be diverted from the topic by this honest-looking guy who was actually full of twists and turns, which made him almost forget about it again.

Cen Lu forced himself to look away from Zhou Pu's deeply scarred back, but the pain in his heart never subsided: "I almost forgot, I haven't asked you yet, why didn't you let me testify at the hearing? Are you happy?" He said this so awkwardly that he wanted to slap himself after he said it, but it was already done, and it was useless to regret it, so he had to secretly raise his eyelids to see the person's reaction, for fear that he would After hearing this, I was angry.

Of course Zhou Pushen would not be angry, but he couldn’t tell the truth, so he could only answer lightly: “I did have the intention of sacrificing the hostages at the time. If I asked you to give false testimony for me, I would feel very sorry.”

Secretly deleted the part that was afraid of his discomfort.

Cen Lu frowned, as if he accepted the wording reluctantly: "My words don't carry so much weight, at least not as hard as the whips on your body."

Only then did Zhou Pushen realize that he had accidentally sat under the moonlight, and hurriedly moved in, only to hear the man's reproach coming from the microphone: "If you still want to hide, you should be punished."

Cen Lu felt that the hand on his heart began to exert force again, it mercilessly rubbed his heart back and forth like plasticine, and wrung it dry as if it was a broken rag.Especially thinking that it was because he failed to testify to Zhou Pushen that he received so many whips after being beaten, Cen Lu felt that it would be better if the whip hit him, because after all, he would not owe anyone anything.

However, it was Zhou Pushen who was hit with the whip.However, he owed Zhou Pushen this love.

He originally wanted to ask, wasn't the day of the accident the anniversary of the day he returned home? Why did someone who obviously shouldn't show up appear at his end of the road, abruptly bringing him a bright future?

At this moment, I feel that there is no need to ask.

Because Cen Lu remembered that the day before, Zhou Pushen had promised him to come back to class.

It's just that a gentleman's words are hard to follow.

"What do you want to punish me, brother?" The man's voice rang out in a low voice, and when Cen Lu came to his senses, he saw that the man had wrapped himself up into a big girl again, as if he had decided to play dead to the end.

"Punish you..." Cen Lu thought for a while, clamped the receiver between his ears and shoulders, stood up and leaned his chest towards the glass, and pressed his free hands to the cold glass, which was warmed by his body temperature. Covered with a thin layer of mist.

Seeing his movements, Zhou Pushen also turned his head slightly. He almost wanted to stretch out his hand to touch that piece of glass at the moment. He straightened his five fingers and pressed them against Cen Lu one by one. The feeling came from his slender fingertips. body temperature.

But both hands were bound, Zhou Pushen could not approach the only light source in the darkness, nor could he feel his temperature.

Cen Lu miraculously understood the distress conveyed by those black eyes, chuckled secretly, and simply sat on the interrogation table, with his entire upper body approaching the side of the glass, his two long legs barely touching the ground, he Pressing his forehead against the glass wall, the soft strands of hair were separated between the skin and the glass, gently spreading out and sticking to his ears, Cen Lu whispered in the darkness: "Punish you... Listen to me tell a terrible story."
