compromise

The author has something to say:

☆, (fourteen)

you deserve better people

only love you

instead of me

One who always wonders if you're a stand-in

People who are always struggling in a dark, dirty life

Just as Gu Yan confides his grievances and tears to the thread ball, the phone rang.

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.

"Hello? Qiyu, come to my house for dinner today."

"Uh, hello, who are you (⊙o⊙)..."

"Ah, sorry for the typo."

The phone was quickly hung up and rang again 10 seconds later.

"Hello? Qiyu, come to my house for dinner today."

"...Hello, this is Wen Qiyu's house. He is not home today after working overtime~(_)"

"..."

"Hello? Hello? Are you still listening? Who are you (⊙o⊙)"

"Who are you? You can't be an hourly worker hired by Qiyu, right? That guy's house is as clean as a mortuary, and he doesn't need hourly cleaners at all... Are you a nanny? But that guy is a workaholic, can you not treat yourself It is already a miracle to die of starvation and exhaustion, how can you expect him to take care of himself or even find someone to take care of himself..."

Gu Yan: Has this person gone... crazy (＠_＠;)

But he can't take care of that much anymore because... a sentence in this has offended Gu Yan.

"Your house is like a mortuary. Your whole family is a mortuary. Ayu is so cute. How can you say that Ayu lives in a mortuary! (╬￣盘￣)"

(The author inserts: Gu Yan, your slot seems to be a bit wrong...Gu Yan: I am busy arguing, go away o(￣ヘ￣o#) The author was once again caught by pia (┬＿┬))

"What the hell do you call him?! Ayu?! Didn't he slap you?! What the hell are you talking about being cute? Who allows you to enter my Qiyu's house? (°△°|||)︴"

"That's my family Ayu!! And it was Ayu who let me in and I've lived here for a long time how so how o(￣ヘ￣o#)"

"Fuck you and Qiyu are living together?! The person you're talking about is Wen Qiyu?! Did Qiyu suffer too much and become mentally disturbed Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"

"(o#゜曲゜)o Nima, you are the one who is insane, your whole family is insane..."

~%...,#*'☆&℃$︿★

...After half an hour of this war that human beings can no longer stop... Twelve o'clock came, and it was time to resolve some major issues in life...

Gu Yan: "Aren't you hungry.＞＜"

"……hungry."

"Then can we have a truce first... Tell me your name so I can tell Wen Xiansen who called/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~"

"Jiang Zijian. What's going on with you and Qiyu..."

"(┳＿┳) It's a long story..."

After a long time, the phone call finally hung up after Gu Yan repeatedly assured him of his "legal occupancy" status.After hanging up the phone, Gu Yan was a little stunned.

How long has it been since I have protected a person like this.

Gu Yan opened a folder, which was full of reports about Wen Qiyu collected from newspapers and Internet news.

"Gold medal lawyer Wen Qiyu defended the victim in the case of the rich second-generation rape of a waitress for free, and finally won the case. After the trial, the family of the waitress hugged lawyer Wen and cried bitterly. See the picture on the right..."

"The trial of the campus murder case in this city is over. Lawyer Wen Qiyu of XX Firm, as the youngest chief lawyer in this city, defended the biggest suspect in this case, Wang, who was only 16 years old, for free, and finally helped Huang get rid of the suspicion and be released in court... ..."

"The case of the daughter who shocked the city by deliberately stabbing her father came to an end today. Well-known lawyer Wen Qiyu once again defended the defendant as a juvenile delinquent, and finally overturned the case. The final verdict of the court is: the defendant Lu Mou was murdered because of his father's sexual assault on him." Justifiable self-defense rather than intentional injury, the defendant was released in court..."

"The high-profile domestic violence case came to an end today. Lawyer Wen Qiyu once again lived up to everyone's expectations and safeguarded the human rights and dignity of vulnerable groups. The picture below shows the scene of the victim Lu wanting to kneel to lawyer Wen Qiyu after winning the lawsuit..."

……

Gu Yan's slender fingers carefully touched the photos on the report, over and over again, slowly.

Ever since he met Wen Qiyu, Gu Yan began to collect reports about Wen Qiyu.

Ayu, you know, when I was sitting in the dock, when I was wandering in the dark.

You are the light.

You are the way.

You are hope.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even have the courage to go to court.

It is also because of you that I know how precious it is to protect a person.

Ayu, you are so good at listening to the voices of others.As for me, please listen to my heart.

I want to protect you.I want to protect the most beautiful and kindest light in my heart.

Don't drive me away, okay?

Gu Yan still decided to pick Wen Qiyu up from get off work.Although Wen Qiyu drove the car away by himself in the morning, probably because he didn't want to pick it up by himself, Gu Yan still went.And saw a scene that almost drove him crazy.

In the underground parking lot, a few steps away from Wen Qiyu's car, a chaotic gang fight was going on.

Gu Yan could vaguely see Wen Qiyu who was surrounded by a group of people, kicking and beating him in a panic.

"You actually said that our idol is plagiarism!"

"A heart-to-heart lawsuit will be punished!"

"How much he paid you! Say!"

"You have to pay a price for insulting cartoonists!"

…………

As if his heart had been squeezed severely, Gu Yan rushed towards the crowd frantically, desperately trying to squeeze to Wen Qiyu's side.The wrinkled suit was stained with broken raw eggs, the tie half hung around the neck, and the bruised back of the hand that barely protected the head.His Ayu.The person he protects on the tip of his heart.

Because of myself.All because of myself.

The sound of the siren of the police car dispersed the chaotic crowd, leaving only Wen Qiyu and a few colleagues in suits and leather shoes who were also in a panic, and Gu Yan who was kneeling on the ground and only one meter away from Wen Qiyu.

"Brother Yu, are you okay?"

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Brother, are you hurt anywhere? Huh?"

Colleagues ran or crawled to Wen Qiyu's side, touched his arm, shook his shoulders, adjusted his clothes and asked if he was okay, but Gu Yan's soft "I'm sorry" was quickly drowned out by these concerned inquiries, and disappeared without a trace.

Wen Qiyu just sat quietly on the ground without moving. For a long time, he apologized to his colleague who was involved in the chaos with him, then he stumbled up and pulled up Gu Yan who was still kneeling on the ground in a daze.

"Take you somewhere."

During the day, Wen Qiyu was bored like never before.Facing this case, Gu Yan's eyes were filled with joy when he saw him at home in the morning.I threw him outside all night.Why don't you hate me. "Touch." Wen Qiyu closed the thick file fiercely.

Just think clearly, while there is no Gu Yan by your side, think clearly why you can't accept Gu Yan.

Wen Qiyu never thought of himself as a lover, so he would not pretend to be in love with someone and refuse to love again.

It's just that Wen Qiyu felt shameful and despicable when he thought of how much they looked alike.

In fact, I am not good enough for him.

Lawyer Wen, who was promoted by the media as the embodiment of justice, was actually not a great person at all.The so-called sense of justice is nothing but an instinct brought about by painful experiences.When he was six years old, his mother was raped and became insane. In order to severely punish the criminal, his father borrowed a large sum of money to file a lawsuit, but was cheated of all the money by the powerful rapist and black-hearted lawyer. Also lost the lawsuit.The mother couldn't bear such a result, she went completely insane and committed suicide by jumping off the building.My father started drinking and taking % drugs and owed a large amount of gambling debts. Later, he %violated... raped his family.

Wen Qiyu leaned back in his chair dejectedly, tears streaming down his face.

A story like a farce at eight o'clock turned out to be his life.

"It's not that the truth will win in court, but the truth that wins in court."

This was the last sentence before the lawyer who took away all his father's loans left. Wen Qiyu will never forget that mocking expression and contemptuous tone.

What is justice.What is the truth.money!money!money!It's all money!

The nail pierced the palm of his hand, and Wen Qiyu began to tremble uncontrollably.Trembling, he picked up the cigarette thrown on the table and pressed the lighter, but the hand that wanted to light the cigarette trembled several times and burned his fingers.I accidentally saw the words on the body of the cigarette:

"Don't smoke please, please╭(╯3╰)╮"

By the way, Gu Yan, why did you reject him?

because.He is so good.

Wen Qiyu saw Gu Yan's appearance at work.Meticulously holding the paintbrush and lying on the writing table, the pursed cat mouth is cute and serious, curling the mouth from time to time, and the light dimple on the white and tender right cheek mischievously appears and disappears from time to time.

He is such a clean, warm, energetic and vital person who lives hard.Cannot be a stand-in.cannot.

Absolutely not, hurt his feelings.

What's more, if he knew that he had been... raped by his father... there was an expression of contempt and contempt on that face with a warm smile——

Wen Qiyu felt cold, too cold to breathe.

"Ding Dong"

The sound of the text message made Wen Qiyu sit up straight suddenly, it was Zijian.

"Come over to my house for dinner after get off work. By the way, explain what's going on with Gu Yan."

right.It's time to make a decision.Gu Yan.

Wen Qiyu and Gu Yan stood in front of Jiang Zijian's house, and Guoguo warmly welcomed them in.

"Zijian is cooking in the kitchen, Qiyu, why are you wearing so little?" Guoguo complained and trained Wen Qiyu.Just now Wen Qiyu threw the suit jacket stained with broken eggs in the car.He didn't want to look too embarrassed, his life was already embarrassed enough, and he didn't want to see those pity and contemptuous eyes.

"Qiyu, your dad came to me yesterday to ask for the key to your house, but I didn't give it to you, so he didn't ask you for money, did he?" Zijian asked Wen Qiyu loudly while cooking in the kitchen.Jiang Zijian knew that Wen Qiyu's sadistic father would ask Wen Qiyu for money from time to time, and would beat Wen Qiyu if he didn't give it to him, but Wen Qiyu's savings had already been exhausted by him, and he couldn't afford any money recently, so Jiang Zijian recently helped Wen Qiyu Guarding against his father, for fear that Wen Qiyu would be hurt.

Jiang Zijian was one of the few people who knew about Wen Qiyu's unbearable experience. In fact, it is not accurate to say that there are not many, there are only two.The other one is Zhi Xu.Wen Qiyu still remembers the night when Zhi Xu learned that he was raped by his father, Zhi Xu smoked cigarettes all night, and the smoke made Wen Qiyu's eyes sour. Both of them stayed up all night, so they sat like that, Wen Qiyu Has been trembling slightly.At dawn, Zhi Xu stood up abruptly, staring at Wen Qiyu with his bloodshot eyes.I watched it for a long time.It's been so long that Wen Qiyu wants to run away.Zhi Xu said:

"I...I don't care about the past. I love you."

"Qiyu! This is?!" Zijian's surprised voice brought him back to reality.

"Gu Yan. Gu Yan, this is Jiang Zijian, my friend." Wen Qiyu's voice was low. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Yan always felt that Wen Qiyu's voice was full of despair.

"Qiyu, come in! I have something to tell you!"

After closing the door, Jiang Zijian hurriedly asked: "Qiyu! Why are you living with him?! He looks so much like Zhixu! What are you doing?!"

"...I fell in love with him." Wen Qiyu lowered his head, his voice didn't fluctuate.

"I think you are crazy! I am advising you to start life again, not in this way! Who are you worthy of!!"

"...Zhi Xu is dead. So what if I'm sorry, he still knows..."

With a "bang", Jiang Zijian punched Wen Qiyu in the face so hard that Wen Qiyu couldn't stand still and fell heavily to the ground.

"...What else does he know?" Wen Qiyu spat out what he had just said, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled bitterly, "Are you aggrieved for him, aren't you his best friend? Teach me a lesson! Hit! Hit!!" The anger of beating him in the underground parking lot erupted in an instant, and his rationality was completely lost. He just kept yelling, which angered Jiang Zijian.Thus, Jiang Zijian's fists and feet landed on Wen Qiyu like crazy.

If the body hurts, the heart will not hurt so much.Wen Qiyu gradually began to feel numb.Just when he thought he was about to pass out, a person rushed forward, desperately pushed Jiang Zijian away, and hugged himself in his arms carefully, as gently as if he was holding some fragile baby.Gu Yan, only Gu Yan, Gu Yan who doesn't know the truth yet.

After Jiang Zijian was angrily shouted at by Gu Yan and pushed away, he calmed down slightly.Looking at Wen Qiyu's pale face with closed eyes and tears, he regretted it.Qiyu must be speaking angrily... It must be this Wen Qiyu who he knows all too well, the affectionate, gentle Wen Qiyu who loves to pretend to be strong but is actually very fragile.Big dark circles under the eyes, he didn't sleep all night, from the beginning to the end, he must be the most painful person.In fact, he was right, Zhi Xu... was already dead.The most painful person left was Wen Qiyu.And me, as the only friend who knew... what a fucking asshole I am!

"Isn't it..."

"Don't say I'm sorry, Zijian," Wen Qiyu tried his best to sit up straight from Gu Yan's arms, "Maybe my dad is right, I'm just cheap, and I need someone to remind me what I am."

"Let's go, Gu Yan." Wen Qiyu stood up, avoiding Gu Yan's hand to help him, "By the way, Gu Yan, your injury is healed, and you too...it's time to go home."
