The heavy prison door opened with a creak, and the damp and gloomy prison finally saw a trace of sunlight.
A woman with disheveled hair and a dirty face slowly walked out. She wore a black and white striped prison uniform. When she saw the sunlight, her eyes slightly narrowed.
How long had it been since he last saw the sunlight?
The sunlight was pale and didn't have a trace of warmth on the woman's body. It was as if her heart had fallen into an icy cave.
"Xiao Rou!" Su Qing hurriedly called out when she saw the woman walk out, and her face was filled with excitement.
When Chu Rou heard Su Qing's voice, she looked towards his direction with lifeless eyes. On her pale face, there wasn't much expression.
It seemed like he hadn't seen the sun in prison for too long, so Chu Rou's skin was terrifyingly white. Su Qing looked at her and felt a trace of fear in her heart.
"Xiao Rou. I've come to take you home. " Su Qing walked towards Chu Rou. She smiled at her and held her hand.
Chu Rou did not extend her hand. She just stared blankly at Su Qing's slightly bumpy legs and spoke for the first time, "What happened to your leg?"
Su Qing was stunned when she heard Chu Rou's words. For a moment, she didn't know where to put her hands that were frozen in the air. Her face was a bit panicked, "It's nothing, I just fell down. Xiao Rou, don't worry. "
Su Qing got on the van. Before she left, she even looked at the still towering Southern City Prison.
"I'm finally out." Chu Rou thought silently in her heart. She had long calmed down thinking that when she heard a woman's name, it would fluctuate.
"Xiao Rou." Su Qing saw that Chu Rou was thinking about something, so she pulled on her hand. Her hand was very cold, and Su Qing wanted to warm it up. We'll start over and live a good life. "
Chu Rou's gaze landed on Su Qing's face. The man in front of her could not escape the ravages of time. His face was already full of wrinkles, but his eyes were filled with hope and desire for a new life.
"Start again?" When Chu Rou heard Su Qing's words, it was unknown what she felt in her heart.
It was time to start living again. She wanted to get back what that woman owed her.
Of course, Su Qing did not know what Chu Rou was thinking. She continued talking about her future life and she did not even notice the silent change in Chu Rou's expression.
"How is it? "Xiao Rou." Su Qing said a lot but didn't see any reaction from Chu Rou. Finally, she couldn't help but excitedly ask.
"Hmm?" Chu Rou was stunned as she recovered from her thoughts. Her expression was still wooden.
Seeing Chu Rou's appearance, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Chu Rou still needed a lot of time to recover.
However, he did not say anything. He only tightly held Chu Rou's hand and said even more gently, "Xiao Rou, I will work hard to give you a better life."
Su Qing really loved Chu Rou, which was why she hadn't left her for eight years.
"Yes." Chu Rou nodded and didn't say anything else.
In her eyes, Su Qing was only using her powers. Moreover, she had just gotten out of prison and had no one she could rely on.
Su Qing brought Chu Rou to a rented room. This rented room was where he had been staying for the past few years.
"Xiao Rou, I'll have to trouble you for now." Su Qing tidied up the messy room and apologised as she looked at Chu Rou.
Compared to the big house that Chu Rou lived in before, the house that she lived in could only be described as dilapidated.
Chu Rou still didn't say anything, nor did she have much expression on her face.
Seeing that, Su Qing didn't say anything else and quietly sat next to Chu Rou.
"I'm tired." The atmosphere around Su Qing was a bit stiff, even though he had just rescued her from prison.
"Then rest." Su Qing was stunned for a moment before she quickly replied. She got up and helped Chu Rou to straighten up the blanket and pillow.
Not long after, Su Qing had made a bed that could be considered tidy. If this was before, he would never have made it.
Chu Rou frowned as she looked at the clean bed. Her brows gradually relaxed.
In any case, it was better than being in prison.
Chu Rou lay quietly on the bed and closed her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking as she slowly entered into her dreams.
The sky gradually darkened and the fragrance of food came out from every household. Chu Rou was woken up by the smell of food.
"Xiao Rou, get up and eat." Su Qing was sweating profusely as she prepared a table of food. She quietly called Chu Rou to get up.
Chu Rou rubbed her aching head and opened her sleepy eyes. An enticing fragrance entered her nose and her stomach immediately made a sound.
"Xiao Rou, you must be hungry." Su Qing smiled and hurriedly helped her up. I've made you a lot of good food. "
Su Qing helped Chu Rou to walk to the dining table and looked around.
The food was very simple, but it was very bountiful. A dense fragrance floated in the air, and within it, there was even Chu Rou's favorite chicken, a drool.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, you still remember what I love the most." Chu Rou muttered, her voice trembling imperceptibly.
"Of course I know what you like." Su Qing helped Chu Rou pick a chicken piece with a pleased expression on her face. Come and try it. "
Chu Rou picked up the chopsticks, picked up the chicken nuggets that were glistening with oil, and slowly put them into her mouth.
"How is it Xiao Rou? Did I cook well?" Su Qing could not wait and looked at Chu Rou, wanting an answer.
"Delicious." Chu Rou nodded and put a few pieces of chicken into the bowl. She smiled at Su Qing.
Hearing Chu Rou's smile, Su Qing seemed to have more motivation. Just as she was about to say something, a burst of noise came from the stairs.
"Is it room 201?" A somewhat rough voice sounded. It seemed that there were quite a few people around him.
"Yes, big brother!" A somewhat attentive voice replied. From the voice, he could tell that this person was that person's subordinate.
"201?" Chu Rou silently recited this number in her heart as if she remembered something. 201 seemed to be their room.
When she looked at Su Qing again, her face had already changed and her eyes were darting around.
"What's wrong?" Chu Rou couldn't help asking with a trace of concern in her voice.
Only then did Su Qing react. He looked at Chu Rou and spoke with an anxious voice, "Xiao Rou, hide in your bedroom first. Do not make a sound!"
"What's wrong?" Chu Rou was even more curious, what could cause Su Qing to be so scared?
"Don't ask." Su Qing's voice was slightly trembling, and her face was filled with anxiety.
He didn't have time to respond to Chu Rou's question and directly pushed her into the bedroom.
