In the name of love

While cleaning up the fruit tea on the table, he walked back to the living room with Yulu and others.

The woman named Ai Cao also came downstairs, and she was making snacks in the kitchen, with a bunch of children around her feet.

"Before me, it was Ah Chang who did it here."

Huaiyu said something that surprised Ji Lan, "He has often participated in volunteer charity activities around the world since he was a student, picking up garbage, delivering food to elderly people living alone in military dependent villages, charity galas for terminally ill children, homeless The resettlement center is one of the fundraising activities of the Dog House, and it is also the longest volunteer activity that Ah Chang has done.”

Huai Yu spoke with an indescribably bitter expression.

"Later, after he joined the church, he took part in the activities of the church more often, and there were fewer volunteer activities here. But there has always been a shortage of people in various placements, because I came with him when I applied for volunteers. The emergency contact person Fill in my name, so the people at the center called me, and I'm standing here now. Otherwise, a narcissistic jerk like me wouldn't have been able to do this unpaid, tiring job. "

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I don't think I can accompany Ah Chang to the end. At least I can do what he has done. When I am with these children, I will always think back to those times with Ah Chang. At least it makes me feel better."

Ji Lan opened her lips slightly, "You mean, Mr. Ye Chang also worked here as a volunteer? In this resettlement center...?"

"Yeah, look."

Huaiyu pointed to the east wall, Yulu and Ji Lan both looked over, and saw a photo hanging on the wall, in the photo was a large group of children, both male and female, with smiles on their faces.

Standing in the middle of these children was a man with a pale face and a shy smile. Yulu saw that he was embracing a girl with one arm and resting his other hand on a man's shoulder. It was Ye Chang whom he had seen in the detention center.

It's just that Ye Chang in the photo is obviously much younger. Yulu looked at him, although his expression was the same timid, but at least his eyes were bright.

"This is a photo of him taking the children on an outing in the mountains. I also went there. I took this photo."

Huai Yu said with emotion, and he took the photo frame off the wall.

"I was very surprised to hear you say that Ah Chang was involved in sexual abuse of children, because to me, Ah Chang is the most unlikely person in the world to do such a thing. He has been volunteering here for five years, all All the children like him very much, um, although there are some children who just bully him for fun."

"He plays and studies with the children here, cuts paper, does puzzles together, origami airplanes together, hikes in the mountains together, and goes swimming in the beach together. Sometimes he also helps these children take a bath, changes their clothes, and organizes their grooming. Know how many boys have run around naked in front of him."

Both Yulu and Ji Lan listened intently, and finally Huaiyu took a deep breath.

"To be honest, if he had pedophile tendencies, it would have occurred in those years. It wouldn't wait until now, after he believed in his God. That's why I said, I have enough evidence to prove that Ah Chang will never commit crimes. "

Yulu saw that Ji Lan lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about Huaiyu's words.

"Can you give us this photo?" He asked Huaiyu.

"Of course, even if you don't speak, I plan to entrust it to you."

Huaiyu handed the photo frame into Ji Lan's hands, and Ji Lan said: "If it's not troublesome, please give us all the information about Mr. Ye's volunteer work here, photos or activity records are fine. "

Huai Yu nodded, "I see, I'll sort it out, give me a mailing address, and I'll send it as soon as possible."

"If it is necessary for Mr. Huai to appear in court as a witness in the future, would Mr. Huai be willing?" Ji Lan asked again.

Huai Yu seemed to hesitate.

"I may not be suitable. After all, I have only come to the resettlement center as a volunteer in the past few years. There is not much overlap with Ah Chang. I don't know what he is doing here. And I think, Ah Chang And I don’t really want to see me in court.”

He sighed slightly embarrassed.

"But I have other candidates that I can offer you. That Miss Ai Cao over there has been serving here since seven or eight years ago, and she has worked with Ah Chang for a long time. I think she will be better than me. A better witness."

As Huaiyu spoke, he looked at the woman in the kitchen.Ai Cao also seemed to notice that they were talking about her, so she glanced at Ji Lan curiously.

"I see, I will talk to her." Ji Lan nodded.

"Ai Cao's father seems to be working in the court too." Huaiyu looked at the woman's busy back, and said with a smile: "He looks like a senior prosecutor, and he is still in the women's and children's special group, which specializes in sexual assault or other crimes." Juvenile cases and the like. This is why Ai Cao came to work here, maybe you will run into him one day."

The sun was setting outside the resettlement center, and several men walked all the way to the outside of the entrance.Yulu saw Huaiyu put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked up at the fading blush on the horizon.

"... Ah Chang, is there any problem?"

in the name of love ten

"... Ah Chang, is there any problem?"

Both Ji Lan and Yulu stopped and looked back at Huai Yu, only to see that the man who had been pretending to be relaxed from just now bit his lower lip lightly with his teeth, Yulu looked at him with reddish eye sockets.

Seeing that the two were looking at him, Huai Yu turned his head away, sucked his nose, and laughed again.

"I believe in Ah Chang very much. It is impossible for him to do that kind of thing. If he rapes a little boy or something, I am more likely. Ah Chang would rather get hurt himself than let his beloved children suffer any harm. harm."

Huai Yu took a deep breath and pressed the back of his finger against his nose.

"I'm just worried...I'm worried that that guy is locked up now. He's the most cranky. I used to see the 2012 predictions on TV, so I asked me all day if I should spend some money to prepare food for the end of the world. Like He is such a naive person, I am worried that he has been locked up for a long time, and most of the people in the detention center are not good people... In short, I am sorry."

Huaiyu apologized and turned away again.Seeing him raising his head again, Yulu pretended to be looking at the sunset in the sky, which reminded him of something he had seen in some idol drama, as long as he always looked up at the sky, tears would not fall.

What a sullen man... Should it be said that he likes to be handsome?Yulu suddenly began to feel that this person was a little cute.

"I will often see Mr. Ye Chang. Even if he is detained, the prosecutor has no right to restrict the defense lawyer's right to meet and communicate. Mr. Ye's family is very concerned about him, and I will try my best not to make him feel hopeless. If Mr. Huai If you want to bring him anything, you can also come through me, this is also one of my jobs."

Ji Lan said seriously, Huai Yu turned around again.

"Ah Chang's family..." Huai Yu smiled wryly, and looked at Ji Lan again for a while.

"Well, I believe you. I wasn't very confident in lawyers at first, but I changed when I saw you. To be honest, I checked your basic information on the Internet. Are you a lawyer who specializes in defending rapists? And you won the case The rate is [-]%, and the prosecutors in this area talk about you like you are talking about some monsters and ghosts."

Unsurprisingly, this comment made Ji Lan's ears blush.

"That's because I haven't practiced for three years. And it's not [-] percent. Most cases are settled with the victims in the end." Ji Lan said.

Huai Yu lit up a faint smile, "Anyway, it's great that I can invite you. She must be worried too, that's why she asked you to come and find me."

Yulu looked at his expression, the scene of the handsome guy with tears in his eyes was really charming, Yulu couldn't bear to look away, and suddenly said after a while: "Is it still hurting...? That person left you. "

When he saw Huai Yu suddenly turn around, he was a little embarrassed.

"I mean, you seem to be well adjusted."

Huai Yu looked at Yu Lv for a while, and then she looked away as if she was about to stare at something.

"Of course the pain is pain. When it first happened, I couldn't accept it at all and did a lot of extreme things."

Huai Yu said slowly, "But Xiaojie is really a good woman. At the beginning, I hated her very much, thinking that she took away what belonged to me. But after knowing some things about her, I felt that she It's amazing. She is a woman who knows what she wants very well. She has a sense of responsibility to herself, her partner, and her family. Coupled with the correspondence with her over the past few years, I think she is the most suitable to spend the rest of her life with Ah Chang. people."

He spread his hands mockingly.

"At the end of the day, it was not so much the pain because of my lover's departure, but rather the shock of Ah Chang's betrayal of me. 'I love you is a blessing from my previous life, and you dare to abandon me?' Probably this kind of mentality, It's ridiculous, right? Ah Chang and a narcissist like me will never be happy together."

Huai Yu sniffed again and smiled.

"So now I'm glad that Ah Chang has found his true home. Every time Xiao Jie gave birth, he would send me photos. His son and daughter all look like him. It's great."

Yulu looked at the man's profile, and suddenly a wave of emotion rushed into his heart, almost making him unable to stand still.

He remembered that in a certain year of ThanksGiving, the postcard also came from New York State, as usual, it was full of Sam's gossip and family life, but there was an extra photo, a photo of a baby.

On the back of the photo was written: 'Xiao Li, this is your brother Oscar, when will you come back to America to see him? '

"If you have any questions, you are welcome to come to me again at any time, Lawyer Ji."

When Huaiyu opened the door for Ji Lan, she said again, with a warm look on her face.
