Chapter 169

However, if ye binglan knew that Su Rui was just an orphan who grew up in Ninghai fourth welfare home, she didn't know how she would feel.

"For the sake of the last time you invited me to breakfast, I invited dinner today." Su Rui waved his hand and said proudly.

"I'll treat you." Ye binglan raised the white bag in her hand, and the smile on her face was sweet and intoxicating: "bonus."

"That's no good. It's not easy for you to make money." Su Rui insisted, "I'll invite you."

Indeed, ye binglan's pay is far more than her salary of several thousand yuan. The girl is holding on to her dream with her extraordinary perseverance.

"All right." Ye binglan spread her hands playfully and said to the waiter, "I also want a Zhao Shao Ji Pai rice."

"It seems that our tastes are similar. It's really fate."

Su Rui looked at ye binglan's face and found that seeing her this time was not like before. Her face was full of fatigue. It seemed that this girl had a good rest recently.

It's just a photo cooked chicken steak rice. Ye binglan doesn't think it's a coincidence or tacit understanding, and laughs, "your approach is too tacky. If you say so, at least half of the people here eat the same as you."

"Not very busy recently?" Su Rui looked at ye binglan's appearance in a floral dress, which was really beautiful.

"Fortunately, there are not many recent cases. It's rare to take a day off and go shopping to buy clothes." Ye binglan looks much better than usual. Of course, this has a great relationship with Su Rui's "violence" behavior in the police station last time.

Since that time, ye binglan is no longer so tired mentally. At least, there are people in the world who can fight side by side with him.

The chicken steak meal came up soon, and the two people chatted while eating. This was a very simple meal, which was eaten by the two people for more than half an hour.

"Do you want to go shopping with you?" Su Rui saw that ye binglan was only carrying a bag and did not buy any clothes.

"I'm almost done watching it. I don't like it very much." Ye binglan shook his sassy ponytail and said with a smile, "anyway, I usually wear police uniforms, and I can't even buy clothes."

Su Rui couldn't help sighing. He looked at ye binglan's good-looking eyes and said seriously, "it's really not easy for you. Don't make yourself too tired."

Ye binglan nodded, "I can only do my best."

"I'll take you back. It's almost eight o'clock." Su Rui looked at his watch.

"It's only eight o'clock. It's still a few hours away from our usual overtime supper." Ye binglan's simple and casual words reveal how difficult it is for her to work. In this world, there are always too many misunderstandings about the police.

It seems that ye binglan doesn't want to go back. Chatting with Su Rui makes her very happy, with a feeling that she still hasn't talked for a long time, which makes her very reluctant to go back.

Like seeing through ye binglan's idea, or Su Rui also had this idea, he laughed and said, "why don't we find a cafe to continue chatting?"

Ye binglan thought for a moment, shook his head, and smiled mysteriously, "come with me and take you around Ninghai."

"Around Ninghai?" Su Rui pointed to a bus on the roadside and said with a smile, "you don't want to take me around Ninghai by bus, do you?"

Ye binglan smiled and nodded, "that's right. Don't be too shabby."

"Of course I'm not too shabby." Su Rui pressed the second half of the sentence to his stomach. He didn't Tell ye binglan that Lin Aoxue's BMW 740 was still left in the parking lot by him.

"Then go." Ye binglan looks very interested.

In this way, the two people boarded the last bus around the city. This bus is Ninghai ring line, and it takes more than two hours to get down. The bus driver is not easy.

Su Rui and ye binglan sat by the window in the last row of the bus, looking at the scenery outside the window and chatting in a low voice. Their legs leaned together and their bodies were so close that they looked like a sweet couple.

The two men also talked about everything, almost everything they could talk about, except that they didn't mention their families and some secrets.

"What did you do abroad before?"

After chatting for an hour, ye binglan finally knew that Su Rui was not a top-level student from the capital. As for the last call, the capital discipline inspection commission could send someone to investigate deputy director Zhang Yuanxing. It was entirely because Qin ranlong had a prominent family background and had a good relationship with Su Rui.

Of course, these are all Su Rui's words. He simply said that he once served as a soldier, and then worked abroad for a period of time. If he told ye binglan about the dark world in the west, I'm afraid the policewoman would handcuff herself after listening to it - unexpectedly, he still had a murder case in Ninghai, and ye binglan and they haven't solved it yet.

"I've done all kinds of work, carrying bricks, carrying cement, and twisting steel bars." Su Rui spread his hand: "I'm a shoulder bearer of dirty work."

"I don't believe it, you thin skinned and tender." Ye binglan couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the bus stopped. As soon as she looked at the platform name, she hurriedly said, "go, get off, and I'll show you a place."

Su Rui followed ye binglan out of the car curiously. When he saw the name of the platform, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because the name of the platform is -- Xihua street.

This is the place where Su Rui brought Lin Aoxue before, and it is also the former site of Ninghai fourth children's welfare home.

"More than ten years, it's really a sea of vicissitudes."

Walking side by side with Su Rui on the quiet Xihua street, ye binglan said with emotion, "it is really difficult to find the buildings in Ninghai now, even more than ten years ago."

Su Rui nodded and said, "it's true. A few years ago, there were demolition everywhere, and there were large construction sites everywhere. Now tall buildings have sprung up, and the former suburban junction has completely changed."

This is true in every city. When the Wanderers return to their hometown, they can't even find their home.

Su Rui said here, looking at ye binglan's eyes, he asked seriously, "why did you bring me here?"

Ye binglan smiled, and the smile fell into Su Rui's eyes, looking very touching: "because I want to share with you."

Su Rui thought, "share? Share what?"

"It's rare to meet such a chatty friend. I want to chat with you about my story." Ye binglan, with her hands behind her, slightly raised her head and looked at today's rare clear night sky, with a look of memory in her eyes.

"I have never told these stories to others."

"OK." Su Rui nodded very seriously.

If your friend is willing to share her unknown past with you, it shows that she has full of absolute trust in you. This trust is based on sincerity and is priceless emotion.

The two of them stood in front of a convenience store and looked at the few pedestrians under the night sky with long eyes.

"My registered permanent residence is in the capital. I grew up in the capital from the age of four and a half to the age of eighteen before I went to college." Ye binglan recalled, "before I was four and a half years old, I grew up in this land."

Su Rui had guessed that when ye binglan got off at Xihua Street station, he had thought of this possibility.

"It's strange. My memory of four and a half years ago is very clear now." Ye binglan smiled and said, "Maybe God wants me to remember all these things. People can't forget Ben after all."

Ye binglan's eyes showed a disappointed look: "once, I grew up with many little friends. We all have a common characteristic - no parents."

Su Rui was shocked and looked at ye binglan in disbelief! His body seemed to be enchanted, fixed in place, and it was difficult to bounce it!

Ye binglan didn't notice Su Rui's abnormal state, but said to herself, "we are all orphans. Although we have no parents, we don't lack love at all. Now I think that that time is the happiest and carefree time for me in the past 20 years."

Su Rui has felt that his breathing is obviously a little sluggish! My heart almost jumped out of my throat!

"But later, a big fire broke out in the welfare home, which was almost burned into a pile of rubble. Many teachers and friends failed to survive the fire."

Speaking of this, ye binglan's tone has a trace of sadness, as if the ruthlessness of the fire is still fresh in my mind. For people who have really experienced life and death, that feeling is unforgettable. Even if ye binglan was only four and a half years old at that time, he still clearly remembered all this.

"I was lucky to survive. Together with some surviving partners, I was transferred to another welfare home. Soon, I was adopted by my current parents." Ye binglan's eyes have been faintly suffused with tears: "my parents are good people now, which has completely changed my life, but most of the surviving friends can't be found, and even don't know whether to die or live."

This is the real sorrow of parting. With the passage of time, many young people have disappeared. Some people you meet are just passers-by, while others will stay in your vitality for a lifetime.

Growing up in a welfare home will have a deformed impact on the psychology of many years. After these teenagers entered the society at the age of 13 or 14, a large number of people began to rely on theft and gangster for a living. Before the age of 20, they may have been in juvenile detention for several times, and their view of society is also extremely extreme. Therefore, ye binglan said that it is indeed reasonable not to know whether they are dead or alive.

Childhood is carefree, but once grown up, those differences and changes will appear irreversibly, with a lifetime.

Su Rui has stopped talking. From the beginning to now, his body has been cold, completely out of normal!

Ye binglan gently wiped his eyes and smiled with tears, "don't make fun of me, and don't be shocked by my life experience. I'll tell you this when we can talk."

With that, ye binglan opened her handbag and took out a string of small red hands from inside.

It seems that the string is just a simple red line. The circle of the red line is very small. It looks like it should be worn by children on their wrists.

I don't know how many times I washed it. The red line has almost turned white, and at the other end of the line, there is a small red plastic button tied.

It's the kind of plastic buttons that can often be seen on little girls' cotton padded jackets.

Looking at the little red rope lying in the palm of his hand, which can barely be called a string of hands, ye binglan's eyes released a soft light: "this is given to me by my little brother who had the best relationship with me when I was a child. Later, he left the welfare home. Just before the fire, I don't know how he is now."

Having shed so much blood, suffered so many injuries, and experienced so many stories, Su Rui thought that his heart was already like a rock, and nothing could touch him at all. But this time, when he saw the little red rope in ye binglan's hand, he unconsciously was full of tears.

Countless past events have erupted in a blowout style, presenting them one by one in front of his eyes.

"Xiaobing, haven't seen you for years." Su Rui said softly.

Hearing this call, ye binglan was also shocked. She looked up incredulously and just saw the tears in Su Rui's eyes.

The wind blows and the rain turns into flowers,

Time cannot catch up with white horse,

The dream words of your young palm,

Still holding on?

Clouds turn into summer,

Tears evaporated by the years,

You, me and her on this road,

Is anyone lost?
