Reverse Approach

"Nanqing!" Su Beimo ran out from the first floor of the company without an umbrella, and snowflakes fell on his eyebrows, hair, and shoulders.Stepping on the thin snowmelt on the ground, he exhaled white mist, "Let's go, I won't work overtime today."

Liao Nanqing was still holding the supper he bought just now, but the weather was too cold, and it was probably too cold: "Then don't eat this, I'll make you something else to eat when you get home."

"Is it cold? I really don't need to bring me supper every day."

"But I want to wait for you to go home together."

Every day when he was working overtime, Liao Nanqing would come to deliver supper, and then sit alone at the front desk on the first floor, playing with his mobile phone for a while, watching current events and news, and checking entertainment gossip.When Su Beimo finished his work, they would go home together.Occasionally walk, occasionally ride a bicycle, and more often, it is Su Beimo taxi.

Because usually when Su Beimo gets off work, the last bus has already left.

The apartment is not far away, so it doesn't cost much to take a taxi. Besides, if you take a taxi after [-] o'clock after working overtime, the company will reimburse you.

It was snowing lightly today, and neither of them had an umbrella.But they walked hand in hand in the snowy night.

Liao Nanqing wore a thick knitted scarf and tugged at Su Beimo's hand: "The final exam is coming soon, and I'm going on winter vacation soon."

"I'm so envious."

"Don't be envious, I will go to Sister Lin's place to work." He thought for a while, and asked Su Beimo, "This year...how about Chinese New Year?"

"Let's see, I will contact my aunt." Although Su Jingtie cut off contact with Su Beimo determinedly, Su Ya still communicated with Su Beimo in private.What they said between them, Su Beimo never mentioned it to Liao Nanqing.

For the Su family, Liao Nanqing is now a taboo, and no one can say anything.

In the end, Liao Nanqing changed the subject: "Sister Lin and Brother Zhang plan to hold a wedding in the next year. I've been very busy recently, so I have to go to the store to help out."

"After that year, we will prepare to make red envelopes." Su Beimo pinched Liao Nanqing's face, stopped in his tracks, and asked him warmly, "Nanqing, if we have time, shall we have a wedding too?"

Under the street lamp, the snowflakes seem to have turned into transparent glass.It reflected Liao Nanqing's eyes, deep and beautiful like stars.The first snow today, the temperature has not had time to cool down.I don't know if there will be snow on the road when I wake up tomorrow morning.As in previous years, the eyes are a vast expanse of whiteness.

At this time, the world is bright.

Liao Nanqing reached out his hand to wipe off the tiny drops of water from the snow melting on his nose, looked away, and lowered his voice worriedly: "Can we do it too?"

"Yes, but let's go abroad to do it better, and spend the honeymoon after the wedding. Okay?" Su Beimo promised him with a smile, the corners of his eyes were crooked, like a warm spring breeze in winter.

"Then who should we call? Will someone come?" Liao Nanqing asked timidly, clenched his hands.

Su Beimo raised his eyebrows, and jokingly said, "Going abroad costs a lot, how many people do you want to call? It doesn't matter if the protagonist is here or not."

"It's going to cost a lot of money for two people." Liao Nanqing finally relaxed, and said in distress, "It will take a long time."

"Yes, but I will work hard." Su Beimo kissed his forehead, "Try hard to take you abroad to hold the wedding, and try hard to buy a house in City B, so we can settle down."

Work hard so that our future can be expected.

Liao Nanqing's ears were burning, and the person who was coaxed by Su Beimo's sweet words was also light. He quietly pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will work hard together." He wrapped his arms around Su Beimo's neck and kissed Told him, "You have to work super hard." After finishing speaking, I laughed out loud.

At 1 o'clock in the morning on January 18, Liao Nanqing finished the last class.From now on, his winter vacation begins.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Su Beimo who was on a business trip: [The exam is over, you are liberated! ]

[I'm coming back this afternoon too. This business trip is doing well. I will apply with the leader for a short vacation. We will go to Phuket, Thailand for a few days to escape the winter. ]

[You can also go during the Chinese New Year, no need to deliberately ask for leave. ]

[It was too crowded those days. ] Su Beimo replied to him, [People who are excellent at work just have a lot of vacations. ]

Liao Nanqing sent a laughing emoji in the past, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not enough, so he sent a complimenting emoji.

It has been snowing a lot in City B these days, and it's all light snow. Only the roofs and green belts in the whole city have slight snow accumulation, and the rest is still the normal scenery in winter.After the snow falls, there will be days when the sun is particularly good, not even like a biting winter.Liao Nanqing enjoyed the lazy wind and happily went to the school cafeteria to have lunch.

The food in the cafeteria was mediocre, Liao Nanqing was not very picky about food, he looked at the time, it was almost time to get up and go to Lin Quan's shop.

But as soon as he stepped out of the cafeteria, he received a call from a stranger.

Saying it is unfamiliar is actually not the case.Liao Nanqing remembered this number, which was newly changed by Li Qin.He didn't keep it at that time, but he was particularly impressed by the four numbers ending in 3636.

A whole semester has passed since the hasty meeting with Li Qin after the college entrance examination.

"Hello." With trepidation, he answered the phone.

"Nan Qing, it's me, it's my mother."

Liao Nanqing's Adam's apple moved up and down, but he didn't respond. He raised his head, and the sun was unexpectedly dazzling.

Not far away, Ge Yun came here at some point, waved at him, pointed to the blue sky, and shouted happily: "The weather is fine—do you want to buy milk tea together?"

At the same time, accompanied by Li Qin's weak words, which seemed to be immersed in the rainy day: "Your grandma is sick, can you go and see, she misses you very much. We are at the gate of your school now. Qing, come here. Mom has something to say to you. "

Liao Nanqing didn't know that this was a scam. He never thought that Li Qin, as a mother, would lead him to another hell after abandoning him.

He clenched his phone tightly, and under Li Qin's continuous and sincere urging, he finally said, "Okay, I'll come over."

Even if he understands that his grandmother doesn't like him and doesn't miss him.He has always been a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of those people.

At four o'clock in the afternoon on January 1, there was no news from Liao Nanqing for four hours.

Su Beimo's call to find someone rang Ge Yun's phone.

Ge Yun wondered: "How do you have my number?"

"Ask Xu Yanyan for it. I exchanged numbers with him once before." Su Beimo didn't say much, and got to the point, "Do you know where you went after the Nanqing exam?"

"Nanqing? What's the matter with Nanqing?" Ge Yun recalled, "I ran into him at the entrance of the cafeteria at noon today and asked him to drink milk tea, but he told me something was wrong. What's the matter with Nanqing?" Finally , Ge Yun asked again.She has been picked up from City B by her parents, and she is currently lying on the big soft bed at home, enjoying watching TV dramas.

Upon hearing Su Beimo's call, Ge Yun paused the TV series: "Could it be that his phone is out of battery? Or is it broken?"

"If that's the case, he will definitely find a way to tell me."

"Hey, Gou Su, I'm not talking about you. You're too tight to control people. It's just for an afternoon. Sometimes my boyfriend and I don't contact each other for an afternoon."

Su Beimo frowned, said thank you, and hung up the phone.

Ge Jun was furious: "Why are you so angry?" She said so, but she herself started to call Liao Nanqing's cell phone, and after calling several times, the phone was turned off.

This was the first time that she couldn't contact Liao Nanqing, except for the evening break and class time.As long as you call Liao Nanqing, he will answer quickly.

Distraught by Su Beimo's phone call, Ge Yun suddenly remembered that her boyfriend had a class to take tomorrow, and he was still in city B.So Ge Yun asked him for help.Ask him to visit Liao Nanqing's academy and ask.

It's okay for anyone not to ask, but if you ask, something really happened.

At around noon, Liao Nanqing was pushed into a pickup truck by a man in his 40s.No one stopped around, because Liao Nanqing called the woman next to him 'Mom'.It just so happened that today was the school's winter vacation, and many students were picked up by their parents. Even if Liao Nanqing didn't want to get on the bus, everyone just thought it was children who were having conflicts with their parents and didn't care too much.

The witness was a classmate of Liao Nanqing's major.

Ge Yun swallowed her saliva. It's not that she doesn't know the situation of Liao Nanqing's family. In the whole year of senior year, Liao Nanqing's mother never showed up at any parent meeting. Why did she show up today.

She thought of Liao Nanqing's father who was imprisoned and what happened when she was a child, and the scene that her boyfriend just described rang in her ears, and she immediately thought of something bad.She started to panic, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she quickly called Su Beimo, and then notified Xu Yanyan.

Little did he know that at this very moment, Liao Nanqing was sleeping drowsily in the narrow space that he once hated the most.Still a dim scene with no lights.He coughed twice and woke up from the newly changed bedding.There is no smell of dust, like a new environment that has been cleaned.

Snapped.

The light was turned on, and a seven or eight-year-old figure approached vaguely, holding a bowl of food in his hand.Liao Nanqing opened his dry mouth and had a severe headache.But when the corner of the mouth moved, it involved the swollen cheeks on both sides.He moved his numb limbs dejectedly and stood up.

In front of him, a childish voice sounded: "Do you want to eat?"

Liao Nanqing shook his head, and turned his head to try to see clearly the kid who was only in the first grade. He was still wearing a red scarf on his chest.Their eyes are very similar, but the other's eyes are purer.Even though he hadn't seen him for a while, Liao Nanqing quickly realized the boy's identity.

Seeing that Liao Nanqing didn't respond, the boy asked again: "Do you want to eat?"

"Little... Ozawa?"

The boy whose name was called was a little shy. He stretched out his hand, and the bowl of rice he was holding was already cold.Under the thick cotton coat, his slender wrists were lightly bruised.It was also like this, so he was not surprised by Liao Nanqing's cheek injuries, let alone surprised.He smiled happily at Liao Nanqing: "Brother, Mom and Dad said they brought you back for treatment, and we can play together again."

cure?

Liao Nanqing couldn't keep up with his thinking, but he remembered that Ozawa was very clingy to him when he was a child.The bowl of rice was held in Ozawa's hand for a long time, Liao Nanqing had no choice but to take it, his head hurt badly, and he lost his appetite at all.He subconsciously touched his pocket, only to remember that his cell phone was taken away by his stepfather.

But the stepfather not only snatched his mobile phone, but also beat him, swearing: "You are promising, learn to be a homosexual, and you are not afraid that your own father will come out and hack the boy who messed with you?" In the end, he fainted past.

For this reason, Li Qin's scream was so sharp that Liao Nanqing shuddered suddenly, and he knocked over the rice bowl in his hand.Throwing off the quilt abruptly, wanting to get out of bed and leave.But he found that there was an iron chain tied around his neck. He touched it and found something similar to a collar.

It is locked and cannot be unlocked, for fear that he will run away.

Outside the door, there was the sound of dragging footsteps. Someone opened the door, reeking of alcohol.

Liao Nanqing looked at him in horror, as if being pushed into an eternal nightmare, he repeatedly lost his voice.

At the same time, just as Su Beimo got off the bullet train, he was about to go straight to Lin Quan's store to find someone.

But after receiving Ge Yun's call, Su Beimo's face was ashen.

There were many people around, and the security personnel blew their whistle to tell Su Beimo not to stand still, and asked him to get out of the station quickly.Su Beimo opened his mouth, then strode out. The call had already reached Su Jingna.

"Dad, can you give me Nanqing's mother's contact information." He remembered that Su Jing had contacted Li Qin in order to transfer schools.At that time, the number was empty, so Su Jing spent some time and used some contacts in order to find Li Qin.

Su Beimo was worried that something would happen to Liao Nanqing, and his fastest way now was to ask Su Jing for his contact information.After two months, Su Beimo took the initiative to contact Su Jing for the first time.

It's snowing again, and the sun is still shining brightly.

Su Beimo's body couldn't feel the cold, but his heart couldn't stop chilling and freezing.Because Su Jing told him: "Don't look for it, I contacted his parents and asked them to take him away."

Su Beimo said desperately: "...Do you know what they will do to him? You don't even know what kind of abuse he will suffer!" In the end, he almost yelled.

Su Jing disagreed: "They are his parents, what can they do to him? And I am your father, I just hope you can go home, and you will find your way back!"
