In the name of love

She said. Yulu recalled what Huai Yu said during the last court session, and was a little surprised by Ai Cao's answer, but after seeing Ai Cao's ability, Yu Lv felt that Huai Yu had obviously underestimated this girl.

The only person who can see through the wormwood is Ji Lan. Yulu knows that this nobleman has always been good at dealing with women, probably because he grew up in that kind of complicated social game field since he was a child. Ji Lan is very sensitive to the affection from women. And he also received those favors without hesitation, and then tried to make use of them.

But it's just that he's not very keen on his affection for men, Yulu thought with a sigh.

"Witness, you just testified under oath. I don't want any more perjury defendants in my court."

"I, I really know."

Wormwood was busy adding.

"Actually, I also find it strange that a handsome guy like Brother Ye has never met his girlfriend. When asked if he has a date, Brother Ye always avoids talking about it. Once I was in the center. At the alley, I saw someone driving a high-end imported car to pick him up, and the person who opened the door for him was a man, I had this feeling faintly at that time..."

What Ai Ting said next surprised Yulu.

"You knew this, but you still chased him back then?" The voice was a little annoyed.

Ai Cao's face turned red all of a sudden, "I, I didn't understand at that time! I thought sexuality was the same as preference, just like I like pink and Brother Ye likes blue. If you often let him see If you see pink things, maybe you will like pink one day. I thought sexual orientation was like that!"

This made the court laugh again, but both Ai Ting and Ji Lan were sullen.Seeing Ye Chang's face turned pale, Yulu gripped the railing of the dock tightly with one hand, and the bailiff took a step forward cautiously, but Ye Chang did not move after all.

"The point is that at that time, the girl you had was chasing after a 28-year-old gay man. How dare you say you knew him?"

"What's wrong? There are boys married to 60-year-old grandmothers,? And boys are biologically slower than women in mental development. A difference of ten years is the ideal state, okay?"

"sophistry!"

"You say I'm a sophistry again, every time you quarrel with me, you just say I'm a sophistry, I'm not your defendant!"

"... objection, the prosecutor's question was not relevant to the case and involved insulting witnesses."

Seeing that Ji Lan raised her hand feebly, the judges on the judge's bench had already blinked their eyes, and the female judge on the far right was even more stunned, as if it was the first time she met the judge's Ai Jian, the King of Yama.

"The objection is established." The old judge in the middle came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. "Please revise the question, the prosecutor."

Ai Ting and Ai Cao stopped arguing.Yulu saw that Ai Cao was standing on the witness stand with her hands folded, while Ai Ting strode back to the prosecution stand. Both father and daughter turned their heads away, neither looking at each other.

"Let me confirm again, based on your understanding of the defendant, the witness believes that the defendant in this case has absolutely no pedophilic tendencies, is that true?"

Ai Ting coughed twice, and finally got back to the topic.

"Yes." Ai Cao said with a straight face.

Yulu saw Ai Ting's lips slightly raised an arc.

"Then, please witness this."

Ai Ting stretched out his hand to the prosecutor's seat. Like Ji Lan, Ai Ting's table before the trial was full of neatly organized file folders.On the other hand, Yulu's table was empty, and Yulu couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"These are copies of emails between the witnesses and the accused when they worked together."

As soon as these words came out, Ai Cao on the witness stand and Ji Lan on the side both twitched.Ai Cao stared wide-eyed, looking at the stack of documents in Ai Ting's hand, with an unbelievable look on her face.

"Wait a minute, that's..."

"To be precise, it is the letter written by the witness to the defendant and the defendant's reply letter after the defendant worked as a volunteer in the resettlement center for a whole year, but suddenly left without saying goodbye."

Ai Ting amplified his voice and shook the paper in his hand, "Here are five letters in total, and the last one was written by the defendant to the witness, but probably because the content was too surprising, the witness did not reply. And I want the witness to read it aloud." , and this is the last letter."

"Dispute! The evidence presented by the prosecution is illegal." Ji Lan said sternly, "Letters, diaries and other evidence involve personal privacy, and the testimony in court requires the consent of the witness himself."

"These letters were submitted with the consent of the witness's guardian."

Ai Ting quickly refuted Ji Lan, he was serious, "These letters were communicated nine years ago, and the witness was under 20 years old nine years ago, and should be supervised by a guardian according to law. And his worried father was worried that his innocent daughter would be killed by unknown people. It is a natural thing to agree to open the letter as evidence against the defendant in this case. I can submit a letter of consent signed by the guardian, but I think the defense lawyer should not insist on this.”

"Defense lawyer, do you want the prosecution to submit relevant supporting documents?" The old judge asked Ji Lan in a deep voice.

Yulu saw Ji Lan pursed her lips tightly, her face full of remorse, obviously she did not expect the other party to do this.

"No, thank you, sir."

He sat down on the defense bench, and there was a slight uproar in the courtroom, and the judge struck the gavel. "Then, the objection is dismissed, please continue to cross-examine witnesses."

"The letter in my hand is the defendant's last reply to the witness, the most truthful and painful confession of his little girl whom he pursued wishfully."

He turned around suddenly, faced the judge's seat, and continued speaking in a dramatic tone.

"I think all of you present here, as well as the dear court, must be very curious why the defendant, who is so enthusiastic about public welfare and loves children, left the resettlement center he served overnight, left those children who loved him, and turned to religion. embrace? What kind of turning point is there?"

Ai Ting turned around again, facing the angry wormwood on the witness stand.

"And the answer to all this lies in this letter, and I think the witnesses will not hesitate to read these letters."

Yulu glanced at Ye Chang, and saw that he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were looking directly at the copies of the letters in Ai Ting's hand, as if thinking of something, his lips trembled slightly.Ai Cao on the witness stand stomped her feet, turned around and ignored Ai Ting, with an angry and frustrated expression on her face, Ai Ting took back the letters.

"It seems that the witness is unwilling to read it by himself, so I will do it for him."

Ai Ting walked slowly to the center of the court, almost parallel to Ye Chang, and read in a poetic tone.

"Hello, Ms. Ai: Thanks to your concern, I didn't know that my ignorance and timidity would cause you such a big trouble. You are a smart and kind girl, and working with you is the happiest thing since I participated in volunteer activities. And this also made me make up my mind not to lie to you, Miss Ai, even if confessing everything may cause Miss Ai to resent me, I will not regret it."

"I think it was not clear enough in the previous letter. The reason for my leaving the volunteer position has nothing to do with Ms. Ai. Ms. Ai's favor for me does not bother me at all. On the contrary, I feel relieved, like me Such an insignificant man can actually make a young and kind girl like you notice me, it really makes me very happy."

Ai Ting's voice lingered in the semi-open courtroom, especially deep and loud.Ye Chang's eyes widened when Yulu looked behind him, his hands clutching the railing were tightly clenched, and his knuckles were all white.

"But I can't respond to Miss Ai's favor. The reason why I can't respond is not because of you, Miss Ai, but because of myself."

"The following words are hard for me to say, but I still have to say. Ms. Ai, you may not know that there is a kind of person in this world, a kind of man, he is born with a defect, he has a kind of disease, that kind of The disease prevented him from liking women, doing that kind of thing with women, and having children."

"And I... am that kind of person."

Yulu couldn't help but sighed.This letter was written eight years ago, and society's exclusion of homosexuality has indeed been loosened year by year.

Although there is a limit to this kind of loosening, at least that's what Yulu feels, and the degree of loosening varies from person to person, that is, those who are willing to relax can relax enough to hold hands with them and parade in the street, but those who stick to their belts There are still many people, and watching the people around them take off their clothes, they will stick to their sacred domain even more.

"Miss Ai, I'm sorry, it may be hard for you to believe it, but I am indeed that kind of person. I have been unable to resist the temptation from the devil since I was a student, and I have had that kind of relationship with seniors in more than one school , so he was expelled from school and changed schools many times.”

"And I'm still obsessed with it. Even in those years of volunteer work, I still maintain... the kind of relationship with men that must make you and your children evil."

Yulu heard Ye Chang utter a slight "No...", like a hiss from the bottom of his throat, but it was covered by the noise of the court, and no one noticed the defendant's voice.

"But I am a cowardly and timid person. Even if I know that it is impossible to continue like this, whenever I make up my mind to quit those temptations, others say a few words to me, or encounter uncomfortable things in life, but in a blink of an eye I indulge back. Miss Ai, even I hate this kind of me, but the past me was completely powerless against this kind of me."

So familiar... Yulu couldn't help sighing that he and Ye Chang were indeed the same kind of person.

"But something happened recently... It shocked me that I can no longer let myself go on like this."

"We went on a picnic together in the mountains that day. Remember? It was Ade who knocked over
