The incident in People's Square caused a great stir, with more than a dozen students arrested and dozens injured, which attracted widespread attention from people from all walks of life. Newspapers from all walks of life rushed to report on it, and everyone in Wancheng knew about it.
The gentle Wang Minglan rarely cried. She covered her lips and looked at her second son kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes. The scene was stained, and her cheeks and jaw were bruised. I heard that there were injuries on her body, and they were all bruised. , now he straightened his back and knelt on the ground, his unruly look finally weakened when he saw Wang Minglan crying.
"I sent you to school, but you didn't study hard. You actually skipped school and went out to mess around. You even came back injured. Did you learn all this in school? Don't embarrass the teacher!"
"No, mother, I'm here to defend my family and my country, and my injuries are not in vain..."
Wang Minglan slapped the table: "Are you still reasonable? If you are really smart, will you get hurt?"
Sheng Jing: "...This is accidental injury."
"shut up!"
“…”
Wang Minglan said: "Xiao Jing, I know you have liked to dream of heroes since you were a child, but this is reality and not a dream. Countless people die every day in this world, and countless families are destroyed. Being alive is kindness. But you are always trying to be brave and do things without thinking. The consequences, have you ever thought that if something happens to you, not only will you suffer, but your parents will also suffer too!"
"I don't want you to be so powerful, nor do I want outsiders to praise how good or bad my son is. I just hope that you will think twice before doing anything, act within your ability, and do things within your capabilities. I hope even more. You can truly understand what you want and don’t leave regrets because of blind impulse.”
"You can make yourself look like this after what happened today. If something big happens in the future, won't you have to die?"
Sheng Jing knelt on the ground and said seriously: "Mom, don't be angry. I know everything. I promise it won't be like this in the future."
Wang Minglan wiped her tears, but she still cried. Sheng Shihua patted his wife on the back, glared at Sheng Jing and said, "Every time you learn a lesson, you gain wisdom. It's okay this time. It's not a serious matter. I think he must have learned a lesson and will definitely do better in the future." Think more.”
Wang Minglan said: "I'm afraid that he will be stubborn and unclear. He promised well today, but then turned around and forgot about it."
Sheng Jing repeatedly promised: "No, mother, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"
Sheng Shihua also scolded Sheng Jing a few words, and then comforted his wife and told her not to be angry. Xiao Jing's heart was good, but he was still young and didn't know how to do things. Besides, wouldn't it be nice if he came back well
Sheng Jing looked at his parents' expressions and finally asked, "When will eldest brother and Zhen Zhen come back? Dad, can you find some connections to get my eldest brother and cousin out?"
Wang Minglan held her forehead. She was dizzy now. Not only was she angry, she was also anxious. When Shengjing mentioned it, she became even more anxious. She couldn't help but poke Shengjing's forehead: "You go ahead, you brat. I'll tell you what you want to do." I'm too lazy to care about you, but why did you bring Zhen Zhen with you? She's just a little girl, and now she's gone to a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. What should I do if there's something wrong? How can I explain to your aunt!"
Sheng Shihua said: "It's okay. Xiao Lun is also inside and will take care of Zhen Zhen. Don't worry."
Wang Minglan's eyes widened and her head hurt even more.
Knowing that Sheng Lun and Ye Zhen were arrested together, Sheng Shihua immediately called someone to clear the relationship. He was told that they would just be detained for a while, and they would naturally feel relieved when the time came. He told them not to worry, they would not be tortured.
But even so, I still couldn't help but worry, and every minute was torturous.
…
Even Dong Xue knew that something had happened to Sheng Lun. She was worried and anxious. When she got home, she begged her father to find a way to get Sheng Lun out. Dong's father shook his head and said there was nothing he could do: "I'm just a businessman, so I really can't help. "
Dong Xue: "But you had a drink with Uncle Wang before. Dad, you have such a good relationship with him, won't he help you?"
Dong's father said: "Xiaoxue, we are drinking together. There are so many people I have drunk with. Do we all have a good relationship? Of course, because we are beneficial to each other, this favor cannot be sold easily unless it is absolutely necessary. Unless Sheng Lun is my son-in-law, why should I beg for help for him?"
Dong Xue became anxious: "But you also watched Brother Sheng Lun grow up. You are his elder. The relationship between our two families is really good, why not just help each other? Then... he will be your son-in-law. , will you help?”
Father Dong smiled and shook his head and said: "Xiaoxue, you still don't understand Sheng Lun. Forget it, don't worry. Even if I don't help, Sheng Shihua will find a way. How can they ignore it if something happens to their eldest son? "
"Can… "
"Xiaoxue, even if you can really save a man like Sheng Lun, but you can only save him alone, do you think he will leave? If you betray him, will he suffer?"
Dong Xue bit her lip, maybe she was so anxious that she had forgotten what kind of person he was. Based on her understanding of Sheng Lun, he would definitely not leave his companions alone.
She just thought that if she could help him, Sheng Lun would be able to see her kindness and think about her kindness, and wouldn't he be so indifferent to her
Dong's father said: "Okay, go back to your room and rest quickly. Don't get involved in this kind of thing, otherwise you will die without knowing it, and don't bring the family to suffer."
Dong Xue saw her father's impatient expression and reluctantly returned to her room. Then she thought that she would visit Sheng Lun tomorrow, hoping that he was still well.
When Chen Yu learned that Sheng Lun had been arrested, he was overjoyed and said coldly, "Good luck". He even hoped that Sheng Lun would simply die in prison so that he could be benevolent and be benevolent, which happened to be his wish.
However, he still had to show off in front of outsiders. When the teachers and students around him said that they were going to petition for the release of the imprisoned students, he agreed very seriously, but in his heart he was extremely disdainful. What could a group of weak scholars do? He thought of Dong Xue. At this time, she must be worried about Sheng Lun again.
Chen Yu clenched his fists. He hoped that Sheng Lun would just disappear!
This was Ye Zhen's first time in jail.
This prison was different from what she thought. It was spacious and bright, and looked like a cathedral. They also used wooden benches to form a simple place for people to lie down and rest, which could be used as a prison or a visiting hall. The military and police did not have any difficulty with them. Some students were indeed injured, and the same was true for the military and police. Because there were so many people, you were pushing and shoving, and because of the excitement, verbal disputes were inevitable.
They were imprisoned. Apart from leaving their warm beds and homes, and having no freedom and no ability to study, there didn't seem to be much difference.
But at night, the air became colder and colder, and Ye Zhen couldn't sleep while huddled in the chair. As soon as she sat up, Sheng Lun next to her sat up and asked her quietly in a low voice: "Cousin, is it cold? ?”
Ye Zhen also responded to him in a low voice: "Well, it's too cold to sleep."
Sheng Lun's voice was slightly cold: "Will you dare to follow Sheng Jing next time?"
"I don't dare anymore..." Because of this matter, Sheng Lun has not given her a good look from the moment they met until now. His serious look is not angry and self-defeating, and his aura is scary. "Cousin, don't be angry with me. Angry, I really don’t dare anymore.”
He snorted softly, stood up and walked over. The moonlight outside the window shone in, and the cold wind drifted in from the broken window. Ye Zhen could see his tall and straight figure sitting in front of her, and his long fingers slowly unbuttoned his clothes. Buttoning it up, he took off his school uniform jacket and threw it over her shoulders. The remaining warmth on the clothes enveloped her, making her almost moan with comfort.
Ye Zhen looked at him in the dark: "Thank you, cousin, but you gave me your clothes, will you feel cold?"
Sheng Lun's voice was cold and indifferent: "It's cold, so don't be willful in the future."
Ye Zhen responded obediently: "No way."
When he was slightly satisfied, he saw that the girl was still shrinking into a small ball and her body was trembling slightly.
Sheng Lun frowned and reached out to hold her little hand covering her mouth. As expected, it was cold and a little stiff. He directly held it with both hands and rubbed it lightly.
The man's palms were hot, and there were thin calluses on his hands due to long-term calligraphy practice. He completely wrapped her hands, and the gentle friction caused a numb itch. Ye Zhen couldn't help but twitch her hands: "Cousin, no need."
"do not move."
“…”
He is very stubborn.
He rubbed her hand until it felt warm. When he looked up, he found that she was sleeping there, her delicate eyebrows blurred in the unclear moonlight. He carefully sat down next to her. , letting the girl's drooping head rest on his shoulder.
Sheng Lun then thought of the flashing scene in his mind again. He wanted to remember it all, but no matter how hard he tried, it was still a blur.
He looked down at his palms. He had really pinched the girl's small breasts, and he seemed to hear the girl screaming in pain.
He suddenly felt a fever in his ears.
The girl on his shoulder suddenly moved and tilted to the other side. He looked sideways and suddenly lay down at the girl's feet. His body was already tall and straight. Even if he lay down, he had to bend his legs. He lay down and stretched out. He reached out and took the hand of the girl sitting beside him.
This feeling is very familiar. He only needs to hold her hand down a little, and like that night, she will kneel and sit by his legs to help him... He covers her hand. The back of her hand is soft, and her fingers are delicate and slender. I couldn't hold him, and it tickled him even more.
He rubbed the back of her hand, sat up, and held the girl's head against his shoulder.
When Ye Zhen woke up in the morning, she was lying on a chair with Sheng Lun's coat on her body. As soon as she opened her eyes, Sheng Lun brought her a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun: "It's better to just eat some at home." .”
Ye Zhen rubbed her eyes and said, "Can't we go out yet?"
Sheng Lun said: "It should be soon, don't be afraid."
She smiled and hummed, and ate the steamed buns and porridge together. The students who got up early had already begun to talk energetically. Sheng Lun was their backbone. Although he didn't talk much and was cold, they seemed to be all. I am very willing to listen to him, which may be the charm of Sheng Lun.
After eight o'clock, Sheng Shihua and Wang Ming came to visit.
Wang Minglan couldn't help but blush when she saw Sheng Lun. She looked at Ye Zhen again and poked her forehead and said, "Damn girl, I asked you to make trouble, now it's okay, let me take care of you!"
Ye Zhen took Wang Minglan's hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine here, and my cousin will take care of me."
Wang Minglan: "Why am I in a hurry? I'm too lazy to care about you."
Ye Zhen quickly acted coquettishly, finally making Wang Minglan burst into laughter. Ye Zhen asked again: "Has my cousin returned home safely? I was separated from him at the time, and I haven't seen him since."
"That kid is very good, don't worry about him."
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'm just worried about my cousin. There are so many people here, I'm scared to death."
"Then you still dare to follow him?"
“I won’t dare to do it next time…”
Wang Minglan hit her on the head.
Sheng Shihua looked at his wife and Ye Zhen, and whispered to Sheng Lun: "I have inquired, and all the teachers and students of Wan University have jointly requested that you be released. The principal of Wan University also petitioned the higher authorities. I also heard Director Wang say that at most In other words, he can be released after being detained for a few days.”
Sheng Lun hummed. He was not worried about himself: "Can you let my cousin go out first? It's cold here. My cousin is weak and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Sheng Shihua shook his head and said: "No one here can move. But we brought clothes to keep out the cold, and we also brought some food. We brought a lot, enough for you and your companions to eat together."
Shen Lun paused: "Dad, I have made you and mother worry."
Sheng Shihua felt a little emotional. Although he was worried, he would not stop Sheng Lun from doing the right thing, let alone blame him. If a young man loses his blood before the morality of his family and country, he will be a useless person. He patted Sheng Lun on the shoulder: "Take good care of your cousin. Your mother and siblings don't have to worry. I'm watching. Nothing will happen."
The visiting time was limited, and Sheng Shihua left with Wang Minglan who was reluctant to leave. However, as soon as they walked to the door, they saw Dong Xue, who was wearing a blue cheongsam and a white gauze hat and carrying a small foreign bag. When Dong Xue saw them, she immediately rushed Stepping forward, he asked nervously: "Is Brother Sheng Lun okay? Is he okay? I was scared to death when I heard the news yesterday, so I came here early this morning. Is Brother Sheng Lun okay?"
Although Wang Minglan was not happy with Dong Xue's actions, seeing how much she cared about her son, she couldn't help but lament that she just loved the wrong person in the wrong way: "It's okay. Xiao Lun is fine. He's not hurt or tortured. Don't worry."
Dong Xuet breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then I'll feel relieved."
At this time, Dong Xue noticed that Wang Minglan's eyes were a little red and swollen. She could tell that she had cried. Then she saw that Sheng Shihua's face was not in good shape. He could not help but persuade them a few words, telling them not to worry too much and that their health was important: "Hurry up. Go home and rest, I'm going to see Brother Sheng Lun and see if there's anything I can do to help, I'll try my best to help."
Wang Minglan sighed in her heart, Dong Xue was good-hearted, but unfortunately she was easily confused sometimes, and his son didn't like her: "Xiaoxue, stop working. Don't get involved in these things. We're afraid of implicating you, so it's a sin."
Dong Xue said in surprise: "Why is it involved? I don't think it is involved!"
Wang Minglan patted Dong Xue's hand: "Xiaoxue, don't worry about Xiaolun's affairs. You can just take care of yourself. Don't let your parents worry or cause trouble to the family."
Dong Xue: "..."
Wang Minglan's words were very reasonable, and they were all for her benefit, but Dong Xue felt that Wang Minglan was drawing a clear line with her, which made Dong Xue feel very sad. They had known each other for so long, and they had feelings for each other. How could they do it so easily? to leave her alone
She watched Sheng Shihua and Wang Minglan get into the car and leave. She pursed her lips and stamped her feet. She was going to see Sheng Lun first.
But what she didn't expect was that Sheng Lun didn't see her at all!
Dong Xue couldn't believe it: "Have you made it clear to Sheng Lun? It's me, I'm Dong Xue."
"I made it very clear. I said it several times, but Mr. Sheng also made it very clear. He really doesn't see you. I'm sorry, Miss Dong."
Dong Xue, who was rejected outside the prison, her pale cheeks became even paler because she didn't have a good rest. She bit her lips, feeling heartbroken and sad at the same time. She was also particularly unwilling. Why did Sheng Lun treat her so badly under such circumstances? Is she still so heartless
Does he really have no intention? Isn't he afraid
Dong Xue wandered on the roadside in despair until Chen Yu appeared in front of her: "Xiaoxue."
Dong Xue's face suddenly turned ugly: "Go away, I don't want to see you."
"Xiaoxue, I'm not worried about you wandering alone on the road. Come on, I'll take you home first."
"I told you, I don't want to see you."
"I'm just worried about your safety."
"But you are the most insecure!"
“…”
Chen Yu felt a pain in his heart, "I was drunk last time. I shouldn't have offended you. I apologize to you, but I don't regret it."
Dong Xue said with a cold face: "Chen Yu, you disappoint me so much."
Chen Yu was heartbroken and chuckled: "Xiaoxue, don't you think we are similar? Look at me, then look at yourself, do you think we are similar?"
Chen Yu was already handsome, and his pale face and gloomy smile made people feel eerie for no reason. Dong Xue took a step back, not wanting to tangle with Chen Yu anymore, turned around and ran away.
Chen Yu looked at Dong Xue's running back, his eyes became even colder.
…
Ye Zhen didn't sleep well on the first night because of the cold, but she slept well on the second night because she had the clothes Wang Minglan sent her. However, she didn't expect that Sheng Lun seemed to have a cold. He initially He had a headache, and in the afternoon he started to cough, and in the evening he had a fever.
Ye Zhen knew that this must be because he gave her the clothes last night and he caught a cold.
Being sick is no small matter, not to mention that they are in trouble now.
Ye Zhen found out that he had a fever, but he still insisted on pretending that nothing was wrong. When she took a step closer to him, he pushed her away: "Cousin, stay away from me."
Because Sheng Lun was ill, even the dozen people who were imprisoned together couldn't help but become worried and nervous, and they all discussed what to do? Ye Zhen didn't want to think about it that much. She knocked on the door directly and told the military police that Sheng Lun was sick. He was very ill. He had a high fever and needed to see a doctor.
The other party hesitated.
Ye Zhen said: "Sheng Lun is not an ordinary person. If something happens to him, you can't deal with it. The Sheng Mansion will investigate, and teachers and students Wan will investigate. It's just a doctor. We won't go out. It's very simple."
Ye Zhen had studied medicine and knew that Sheng Lun had a fever, but even if it was just a simple fever, if he could not get treatment in this simple place, he would be dead if he could not survive it.
Ten minutes later, the military doctor finally came over, gave Sheng Lun an injection and gave him medicine.
The medicine took effect and he fell asleep.
Ye Zhen sat next to him and watched over him. Someone came over to persuade her to rest. She smiled and declined, saying that she couldn't sleep anyway, so she might as well watch to feel at ease.
"Then you watch for half the night and I'll watch for the rest of the night."
"It's just that staying up for too long is not good for your health. You are still a girl. This should be done by us men."
"It's okay. Thank you for your kindness. I just want to take care of my cousin."
"Well, if you need help with anything, just ask us and we will definitely help you."
"Thanks."
In the past two hours, Sheng Lun's fever seemed to have subsided. She touched his forehead and found that it was not as hot as before. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Let you be brave!"
She just retracted her hand, but was grabbed by a man with his eyes closed. His brows were furrowed, as if he was trapped in a nightmare: "Who... who are you..."
Ye Zhen twitched her hand, but instead of pulling it out, it was squeezed tighter. She could only let him go for the time being, resting her chin on one side and looking at him. After a while, she went to his ear and said: "No one, An Xin sleep."
He held her hand tightly without letting go, but held it tighter and tighter. He was already having a fever, and his whole body was hot. Holding it like this made her hand sweat. She twitched it a few times without pulling away. , he slept very restlessly and showed signs of struggling to wake up.
This man is so stubborn even when sleeping.
She thought about forgetting it, but she never imagined that Sheng Lun would actually hold her hand and press it to his heart. Ye Zhen pursed her lips and patted the back of his hand!
There was a soft snap, which was extremely clear in the dark night.
Someone woke up from his dream and shouted: "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhen: "...it's okay, just fight the mosquitoes."
The man was confused: "Are there mosquitoes today?"
Ye Zhen: "Well..."
Yes, it's such a big mosquito.
She lowered her eyes and saw the man who opened his dark eyes in the dark night. The bright moonlight fell into the window. He was lying down and looking up at her. She sat and lowered her eyes. Their eyes met unexpectedly, as if they were entangled with threads. I go around and around, but I can't figure it out.
Ye Zhen blinked: "My cousin is awake, but is he still feeling uncomfortable?"
She wanted to touch his forehead to test his body temperature, and pulled out her hand, but still couldn't pull it out. He held it too tightly: "... Cousin?"
He held her hand and pulled it gently, Ye Zhen rushed forward and threw herself on his chest. She was surprised when his other hand touched her head and held her face, his voice was dry and hoarse: "It's you. "
Ye Zhen said doubtfully: "What am I? What is my cousin talking about?"
His eyes were hazy after a high fever, his voice was deeper, his lips touched her ear, and he said in a voice that only she could hear: "Although your voice has changed and your appearance has been blocked, I remember the sweet smell on your body. I remember Your hand, remember the touch of your hair on my skin, remember your little arc, remember your voice humming in pain, remember the feeling of you in my arms. It's you, right?"
Ye Zhen looked at him blankly: "Cousin, what are you talking about, why can't I understand? Are you confused because of illness?"
Sheng Lun coughed a few times, and Ye Zhen was a little worried, but he hugged her tightly, "I know it's you."
Ye Zhen: "... Cousin, wake up, you are confused with fever."
