He said: Someday you will know what I did wrong, give me a chance, and don't leave.

Mantras after drinking, in normal times, these words would never come out of Lu Qiang's mouth, it's not him who is so humble and incompetent, so she once suspected that she had heard it wrong.

The next morning when Lu Yin questioned him, Lu Qiang was completely awake and turned back into him again.

But Lu Yin was always uneasy, she had known him for so long, she had never seen him get drunk, he talked nonsense, tossed and tossed for half a night, his rare fragility and loneliness made her heart ache slightly.

Lu Yin's mind is always sensitive, and the words after that often popped into his mind, coupled with his abnormality after drunk, he always felt that something happened faintly, so he was anxious and restless for a few days, but it was calm until New Year's Day.

...

On the morning of New Year's Day, Lu Qiang visited Lao Deng.

He seemed to be thinner than the last time we met, the prison had changed into winter clothes, and the blue prison uniform was bulging, making the shell wrapped in cotton clothes even more skinny. In the past, there was Lu Qiang who took care of each other, talked and talked to make people bored, and there was some fun in the boring life.

He has a dull personality, and after Lu Qiang went out, he walked around alone. Unless necessary, he couldn't even say a word all day long.

Seeing him come to see him, he complained and came to this ghost place again, but his cloudy eyes couldn't help clearing up, with a smile at the end of his eyes.

Lu Qiang couldn't laugh, and sat looking at him with deep eyes for a long while.

Old Deng felt that his gaze was strange, so he couldn't help but change his mind, and asked tentatively: "Arong and Wu Qiong... are they okay?"

Lu Qiang held up the phone, paused for half a second, and smiled: "It's good, they are still in the chemical industry. Your child is 25 this year. He graduated from Zhangzhou University of Technology. He seems to have studied computers. He looks pretty and is tall. From a glance, I really look a little bit like you...now you work in the downtown tech city.” He recalled that he knew only a few years ago, and told him all the information he got from the nanny.

Old Deng squinted his eyes and smiled, and couldn't help nodding frequently.

Lu Qiang added: "Her name is not Deng Qiong now, but Wu Qiong, and her stepfather's surname is Wu."

Lao Deng froze, and smiled wryly: "... I understand."

The last time Liang Yarong came was a few years ago, and he didn't sit for a long time when he came, and he basically left after a few words, and he didn't say a word to Wu Qiong. This is the only understanding I have of my daughter whom I have not met in the past twenty years. Knowing that she is safe is already very satisfying.

Lao Deng grinned at him, the lines at the end of his eyes were densely gathered, it was a sincere smile these days.

Lu Qiang scratched the table unconsciously with his fingers, sat for a few minutes and left without waiting for the prison guard to urge him. Lao Deng looked at his back, feeling restless. He always felt that he was hesitant to speak, that he had something to say, but even if he wanted to see through, he couldn't get out. He was led back to his cell by the prison guards.

Lu Qiang came out from the inside, and endured the craving for a long time. He tilted his head and nodded one, and took it off after smoking it. He looked up at the sky one by one. The sky was white and bleak, without a trace of blue. The horizon gradually moved closer to this side.

Lu Qiang pulled his gaze back and walked towards the opposite bus stop.

Just now, the matter of six years ago was on the verge of talking, but seeing Lao Deng's old eyes, he turned around and swallowed it back. He didn't hide or evade on purpose, and it's not his character to hide and hide at all. It's just that Lao Deng spends his days in it like a lonely year. If the only thing he thinks has changed, how should he live.

Lu Qiang stayed by the canal for half the night that day, and the past resurfaced. He didn't feel guilty about anything else, and he had already paid the price for what he did wrong. But the moment Wu Qiong got off the car, he knew that he owed Lao Deng, There is no way to pay it back in this life.

The sky was white, and something fell on his forehead. He reached out and wiped it, and it was wet.

Lu Qiang raised his head, the first snow this winter...

...

In the evening, Lu Yin cooks. This is a truly important festival for the two of them to be together. It is quite sumptuous. They made up five dishes and one soup. They are in great spirits. Lu Yin then drank half a glass of white and asked for beer .

Lu Qiang looked at her with a smile and didn't stop her. He pulled the pull ring away before handing it over. The New Year's Eve party was almost always broadcast on the TV. Lu Yin sat at the table, clicked in a circle, and stopped at a satellite TV channel at random, and a certain new star was singing a cheerful song. She put the remote control on the table next to her, the volume of the TV was not high, no one was watching it, it was all used as background music. Perhaps because of their mood, the two of them also felt very lively.

After dinner, Lu Yin went to wash the dishes, Lu Qiang pushed open the window of the balcony, and the snowflakes continued from noon until now. There was a thin layer of snow on the railing, and it was shining brightly from the street lamps in the distance. Lu Qiang bowed his body and blew, the flakes of snow scattered to make a dry place, he propped his arm up, played with the lighter for a while, took the cigarette from his ear and lit it, and blew it out, the smoke filled the air, he gritted his teeth a little, looked into the distance Snowy day rendered by lights.

In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Lu Yin also ran out, holding a half-can of beer in his hand, and stood beside him.

Lu Qiang turned his head, "Go back and put on your clothes."

On a snowy day, the temperature is not so cold. She only wears a thick sweater, her hair is half up, and her delicate neck is exposed to the air. "I'm not cold."

"Hurry up," Lu Qiang snatched her beer over, "I'll help you get it first."

Lu Yin was driven to get dressed, he pulled his eyes back from her, took a sip of the beer, held it in his hand and twirled it a few times. She put on the padded coat, took one for Lu Qiang, and put it on him directly.

Lu Qiang didn't move, letting the clothes hang on his shoulders like that.

He returned the beer to Lu Yin, and Lu Yin raised her head and took a sip, rubbing his shoulders against his arm, standing side by side.

She looked at the small garden downstairs, turned her head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Lu Qiang said: "If you look beautiful, just show it to me."

Lu Yin snorted, "Just take it as if you praised me... But don't be smug, it's not just for you."

Lu Qiang said lightly: "Others just don't like it, and it's useless to look at it."

Lu Yin's face turned red, she looked away, and poured all the remaining beer into it. In fact, there was not much left at all, his sip was worth half of it, and her cheeks puffed up, showing a bit of a little girl's childishness.

Lu Yin glared at her, "I'm too lazy to talk to you." After speaking, she turned and went back.

Lu Qiang smiled, pulled her arm, and pulled her directly into his arms, wrapping her between the arm and the railing, and fell silent, the two of them looked at the deep and distant sky together.

After a while, Lu Qiang lowered his gaze and landed on a small piece of her bare neck. Her padded coat is apricot, soft in texture, just enough to cover her hips, jeans, and a pair of winter cartoon cotton slippers, also light in color.

Most of her clothes are light-colored.

Lu Qiang asked casually: "Why do you wear all the colors that are not resistant to dirt?"

Lu Yin said: "When I was in college, I liked heavy colors of black and gray. I thought it was fashionable and individual. Now that I am getting older, I want to wear colorful or light colors to adjust my mood and feel like I am young. "

Lu Qiang said, "Just pretending to be tender?"

Lu Yin was scornful, but after his explanation, it changed. She hummed, but couldn't find a suitable rebuttal.

Lu Qiang said: "Tossing nonsense, you have just grown up, and you have thought so much."

Lu Yin's eyes were sly: "Compared to you, I'm young."

Lu Qiang paused for a moment and said, "It's only five years old."

"Three-year-old generation gap, haven't you heard of it?"

Lu Qiang squeezed her breasts and smirked, "I don't understand you enough?"

After chatting for a while, the snow seemed to be a little smaller than before, the field of vision was completely white, and the night was not so dark. Outside the railing is the external unit of the air conditioner, which is covered with a layer of fine snow, which is clean and clear, and the lights are shining brightly.

Lu Yin propped her chin, feeling anxious for a moment, she dug a piece with her index finger, turned around, and wanted to touch his forehead. Lu Qiang was still looking at the distance before, and when he saw her move from the corner of his eye, he tilted his head slightly and easily dodged it. He stretched out his big hand to wipe the snow, and wiped it directly on her face.

Lu Yin was taken aback for a moment, then let out a low cry, and poked his finger on his face.

Lu Qiang grabbed her wrist, laughed lowly, entangled for a moment, Lu Qiang stopped smiling, and looked at her fixedly, snow was still hanging on her face, a white spot fell on the tip of her nose, her lips collapsed due to anger The hair is thin and upturned, revealing a row of teeth that are clenched tightly, and the eyes are bright and radiant.

Lu Qiang crossed her body, face to face, and fed her snow-stained index finger into his mouth.

Lu Yin was agitated, and forgot to resist, only felt her index finger was tightly wrapped by his lips and tongue, imprisoned in the narrow gap, warm and moist. He sucked hard, his fingertips were bloodshot and swollen, and his heart trembled.

"Don't..."

Lu Yin tried to stop her, but he put more force on her, bit her slightly, hooked his tongue and sucked her, and swallowed all his fingers.

Lu Qiang's cheeks were deeply sunken, and a pair of black eyes were fixed on her expression, domineering and powerful. Lu Yin was short of breath, her face was pink, her ears were burning, the snow on her face slowly turned into water, the fusion of ice and fire, the torment was unbearable.

The snow stopped, the wind stilled, the sound of snow rustled, and under the quiet night sky, he hugged her tightly.

After some time, Lu Qiang finally let go of her hand, licked her cheek with his lips and tongue, moved inch by inch, swept away all the snow on her skin, and finally fell back to his lips, viciously invading her mouth.

The heat of the skin, the coldness of the water, he is also a fusion of ice and fire.

Not long after, Lu Qiang breathed heavily, and his voice was hoarse: "I've got your way." After saying that, he bowed his body, and eagerly pulled her hips and hips, hugged her round legs, and turned towards her. go inside.

Lu Yin let out a low cry and hugged his neck. In the confusion, his cotton coat fell off, and her slippers were also thrown on the ground, buckled upside down in the snow. But nobody cares about them...

long night,

This night, she was first thrown into heaven by him.

***

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Lu Yin heard a bell ringing, followed by his low-pitched cursing. Lu Yin thought it was a dream, and turned around in a daze, only to see him cut off the phone and was putting on his clothes.

Lu Yin rubbed her eyes: "What are you doing?"

"Something happened to Dalong. Someone was injured and entered the game. I'll go and have a look."

Lu Yin sat up: "I'm with you."

"No, it's too cold, you sleep."

Lu Qiang quickly went to the bathroom to put some water, and washed his face to refresh himself. When he came out, he saw that Lu Yin was fully dressed and waiting for him holding the car keys.

Lu Qiang said: "Why are you still running, go back to sleep."

Lu Yin said: "It's midnight, and it's still snowing. There must be no car. Let's take you there."

Lu Qiang said, "The road is slippery in snowy weather."

Lu Yin changed her shoes: "Just drive slowly."

Lu Qiang looked at her for a moment and didn't refuse again.

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and there were no pedestrians outside. There was a layer of hoarfrost on the dead branches next to it, and the road was crushed by wheels and glowed coldly.

Lu Qiang glanced at her: "How about I come."

"You don't have a car book, so forget it."

Lu Qiang said: "Then you look at the road and don't worry."

The road was actually not far away, but due to the weather, it took a full half an hour to drive. Lu Yin parked the car at the gate of the Public Security Bureau. She didn't get out and waited in the car.

Lu Qiang stepped up the steps in a few steps, Genzi came out to meet him, and he asked him what was going on.

Genzi said that Dalong now has a small team leader in the logistics company, named Liang Yajun, who usually bullies newcomers and makes things difficult for him. With Dalong's irritable and stupefied temper, he couldn't swallow this breath again and again, so he followed him all the way tonight and beat him up.

Lu Qiang remembered that he had heard Dalong mention it at dinner that day. Then he asked, "How is the captain now?"

"Still in the hospital, Dalong was detained by Lao Xing, squatting inside, I heard that the family members are rushing here."

The two entered the interrogation hall while talking, and they ran into acquaintances without accident. Tan Wei and her master Lao Xing were both there. Lu Qiang nodded at her and glanced around. Dalong was squatting in the corner with his head in his arms.

Seeing him coming in, she got up unconsciously: "Brother Qiang..."

Tan Wei whispered: "Squat down, who told you to get up." Then she looked at Lu Qiang: "This matter has something to do with you?"

Lu Qiang said, "No, I'll release him on bail."

Tan Wei's business-like attitude: "Fill in the information first," threw a few pieces of paper to Lu Qiang, and said, "The victim's family has not come yet, we don't know the situation, and we can't release him on bail for the time being."

Lu Qiang looked down: "When will it be?"

Tan Wei looked at him: "I don't know about this."

With a blank expression on his face, Lu Qiang threw the pen to Genzi, "You fill it in."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside, and two women pushed open the door of the interrogation hall.

Everyone cast their gazes over and were all taken aback.

The air was stagnant for a few seconds, and Lu Qiang was the first to turn around.

There was an old man and a young man at the door, the youngest was in his twenties, with short hair around his ears, and wearing a red padded jacket; the old man had fluffy hair, a few strands of silver on his temples and forehead, and was wearing a thick scarf. Wu Qiong was surprised for a moment at first, just glanced at it, then looked away. Liang Yarong stared at Lu Qiang, the resentment in his eyes was like a knife, trying to swallow him alive.

Tan Wei knew about it. She glanced at Lu Qiang, then at the door, and said hello, "Are you the victim's family?"

Wu Qiong hurriedly said, "That's right."

"Sit here." Tan Wei recorded: "What's the relationship?"

"Liang Yajun is my uncle."

Tan Wei glanced at her: "Your name?"

"Wu Qiong."

...

The situation was quickly understood, and Tan Wei said: "Depending on the situation, you can ask for appropriate compensation. Just now our people checked the situation in the hospital. Liang Yajun's injury is not serious. Let's see if the police need to intervene." She paused : "Or solve it privately?"

Wu Qiong bit her lip: "Then..."

Before she could speak, Liang Yarong tugged at her arm: "We want to sue, we must investigate to the end." She stared at Lu Qiang, implying: "Those bastards did something outrageous, the law can't cure them, God naturally I will clean it up, maybe I will be struck by lightning from the sky without a whole body..."

Tan Wei clicked her tongue: "How do you talk?"

Wu Qiong also whispered: "Mom!"

Tan Wei said, "Go back first, and come back when you have the results."

Wu Qiong agreed, and dragged Liang Yarong out of the door in a hurry.

The room here was also quiet, Lao Xing sat in the back, blew into his teacup, and looked up at the young people. Before he could make another move, there was another mess of footsteps in the corridor, accompanied by screams, and the door was slammed open.

Liang Yarong went back and forth, but Wu Qiong didn't grab her behind. She threw the backpack in her hand at Lu Qiang viciously.

Lu Qiang tilted his head, the backpack fell on the table, and the teacup was knocked over.

Liang Yarong screamed: "Rape, rapist, beast, my daughter has been ruined by you all her life, and now she is coming to harm the old Liang family."

Wu Qiong cried: "Mom, what are you doing... It has nothing to do with him..."

"Is there a difference? Qiongqiong, aren't they all animals?" She didn't listen to dissuasion, acting like a lunatic, and greeted Lu Qiang with everything she picked up.

Lu Qiang didn't hide this time, he hung his head halfway with an unburned cigarette in his mouth. At that moment, he made a decision in his heart.

No matter what, he will no longer hide from Lu Yin.

He was hit a few times, and Tan Wei went up to stop him. Genzi was also furious, pointing at Liang Yaping: "You are fucking endless, clean up your mouth."

Dalong stood up: "Smelly bitch, can you try again?"

For a while, the hall was noisy and noisy, screaming and cursing one after another.

Lao Xing put the porcelain cup on the table heavily, with a muffled sound. He yelled, "Shut up, all of you."

It was silent for a moment.

He turned to Tan Wei: "Anyone who is dishonest will be detained by me, whoever he is, will stop after a few days."

Wu Qiong wiped away her tears and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's go now."

Lao Xing said, "Tan Wei, send them out for the two of them."

Tan Wei dragged Liang Yarong out of the police station with half-pushing and half-pushing, explained a few words, and sent them to the opposite side to stop the taxi. Turning around, I saw a white Bora parked at the door, the lights inside were on, and the pretty face in the driver's seat was reflected, blinking at her.

Lu Yin also couldn't distinguish the situation for a while, and it took a long time to identify it before remembering that they met in the restaurant that day. Tan Wei stood in front of the car without moving, and she couldn't sit in it all the time, so she got out of the car quickly and greeted with a smile: "Officer Tan, what a coincidence?"

Tan Wei put her hands in her trouser pockets: "Did you come with Lu Qiang?"

Lu Yin said yes.

"Then why don't you go in, it's so cold outside!"

Lu Yin said, "It should be soon."

"It was pretty fast." She looked at Lu Yin and paused, "Who knew that Wu Qiong and his wife would make a fuss."

"Wu Qiong?"

Tan Wei smiled slightly, and she had the bottom line in her heart: "You don't know?"

She smiled with a deep meaning, Lu Yin's heart turned cold, she still smiled on her face, neither said she knew nor said she didn't know.

Tan Wei said: "It's not just about six years ago, they sued Lu Qiangqiang for rape... Today, Lu Qiang's friend happened to beat Wu Qiong's uncle. It was a coincidence that he ran into him..."

"What did you say?"

Tan Wei blinked: "I said that Lu Qiang's friend is fighting with someone..."

"That's not it."

"Oh," Tan Wei said, "Six years ago..."

Lu Yin's ears were buzzing, but she didn't listen to what she said later.

Feeling that he couldn't stand upright, he subconsciously supported the car body and half leaned on it. She seemed to be trapped in a closed space, and the lips of the person opposite her were moving, but there were only two words hovering in her head, which made her suffocate one after another.

Lu Yin told herself that she shouldn't believe it, and she should listen to what Lu Qiang said. But the police don't lie. She also asked him twice, but Lu Qiang has concealed it until now. Combined with his drunken state that day, his words clearly surfaced again.

Lu Qiang's complicated background meant that this person's past was not simple. The moment she decided to be with him, she broke through the barriers of worldly concepts and made full preparations. No matter what happened, she hoped that she could face it calmly, but even so, the crime of rape was simply unacceptable to her.

The person on the other side was still talking, and she forced a smile: "I'll go first, you are busy."

She staggered back, forgot to open the door, and stepped into the night step by step.

The snow stopped a long time ago, the temperature in the early morning is getting lower and lower, and the cold wind is biting, even cotton-padded clothes can't resist it.

Lu Yin's lips turned white, and her heart constricted, tingled, and tightened.

A few hours ago, they had dinner together, watched the snow, and were tossing and entangled heartily on the bed.

One sleep and the world changes.

This night, he finally threw her into hell.

***

Lao Xing sent Lu Qiang and Genzi out, and Dalong might have to stay in there for a few nights. Just in time to meet Tan Wei turning around, Lu Qiang glanced at her, and his eyes fell on the car at the door. The lights inside were on, and there was no one there.

Lu Qiang grabbed her and said, "Did you see the people in the car?"

"You said that woman came with you?"

Lu Qiang looked at her with pursed lips, she was a little trembling, and said bravely, "She, she said she had to leave beforehand."

His pupils shrank suddenly, he vaguely guessed something, and worked hard with his hands.

"... Ah! You pinch me... let go..."

Lu Qiang: "What the hell did you tell her?"

Tan Wei's shoulders were lifted by him, she gritted her teeth: "She just asked me what happened inside. Didn't you tell her everything, I thought she knew."

"Fuck." Lu Qiang roared, his eyes couldn't help being sullen, his cheeks were tense, he picked up her neck, and with the other hand he clenched a fist and was about to hit her face.

Lao Xing grasped it: "Lu Qiang, calm down, this is an assault on the police, do you know?" How could he control Lu Qiang with his little strength, seeing that he was about to move, he quickly added: "It's up to you It's a small matter for a few days, how do you find someone in the middle of the night?"

Lu Qiang paused, angry in his chest, clenched his fists, turned his elbows, turned around, and slammed into the glass on the driver's side, and circles of flocculent marks immediately appeared on it.

Lao Xing and Genzi worked together to pull him away, Tan Wei was terrified, and took two steps back, with tears in her eyes, she said unwillingly: "Lu Qiang, you are a coward, dare to do what you dare, why don't you if you are capable?" Tell the girl about those scandals? I counted myself as a good person today, and help her see you clearly."

"What the hell are you an onion? Someone said, you have no part in it."

Lu Qiang was well aware of the harm this incident had done to her. The worst thing was that he borrowed the words of other women, and he couldn't imagine what state she was in at that time. He didn't stop for fear of tearing her mouth apart on impulse. Lu Qiang opened the door and called Genzi: "Get in the car."

After all, Tan Wei regretted it a little. At first, she just wanted to relieve her anger, and didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She took a step forward, not knowing what to say: "You... have you reapplied for your driver's license?"

"Application for a dick." Lu Qiang spat, "You fucking pray here that she's okay."
