bullying the little thing

【current】

When Ouyang Hongfei arrived at the police station, he saw Chen Yu dozing off on a bench.

The boy's head was tilted to one side, and he was resting on the back of the chair, his hair was hanging down in front, covering most of his face.

The handcuffed hands are hanging on the stomach, holding a half-eaten piece of bread between the palms.

His body was curled up in an awkward position, but he slept soundly.

After receiving a call from the police and hearing that Chen Yu was stealing from a convenience store, Ouyang Hongfei was filled with anger, but when he saw Chen Yu, his anger was instantly replaced by pity.

He walked over quietly, took off his black windbreaker, and put it on Chen Yu.

Ouyang Hongfei was old friends with several policemen in the institute, and they said a few good words, and the policemen thought that Chen Yu was a first-time offender, so they agreed to let Ouyang Hongfei release him on bail.

"Those phone numbers in his mobile phone, only you can call them. In fact, we don't want to trouble you, barrister!" A policeman said half-jokingly.

"Where is it, don't bother, he is mine...my client." Ouyang Hongfei showed an impeccable social smile on his face.

Chen Yu woke up, and heard that lawyer Ouyang wanted to release him on bail, but he refused repeatedly, chasing the police and asking them to lock him up.

Ouyang Hongfei thought he was ignorant, so he got angry again, took his hand and pulled it away.

"Let go of me! I want to stay here!"

Chen Yu struggled a lot, he obviously imagined the situation in front of him as coercion, Ouyang Hongfei thought to himself, he was afraid at this level, isn't he waiting to be the target of public criticism in court?

Ouyang Hongfei seemed to want to desensitize him, ignored his yelling, dragged him into his car along the way, threw him on the passenger seat, slammed the car door, walked around the body, and sat on his own. Get in the driver's seat.

Chen Yu pressed his body tightly against the car window, distanced himself from Ouyang Hongfei, put his hands on his chest, stared at him with frightened deer-like eyes, and shivered, which made Ouyang Hongfei feel that he was going too far , but he must speak clearly.

"If you always think of me as a bad guy, I'm going to be angry!"

He leaned over to Chen Yu while talking, Chen Yu couldn't help screaming, Ouyang Hongfei ignored him, and pulled the seat belt behind Chen Yu, bypassing Chen Yu's body, and buckled it on the seat belt. left side.

Chen Yu had a false alarm and gasped loudly several times, watching Ouyang Hongfei put on his seat belt, start the car, back up, and drive out of the police station.

Until the car adjusted to a constant speed and drove smoothly on the road, Ouyang Hongfei didn't say a word. Chen Yu felt guilty, pouted and lowered his head.

Ouyang Hongfei felt a little sorry, so he broke the silence: "Since we have decided to cooperate, we should trust each other."

Hearing Ouyang Hongfei talking to him, Chen Yu raised his head unexpectedly.

"If you are in financial difficulty, I am willing to help you. I hope you will stop doing that kind of thing. I am just your lawyer, not your guardian. I have no obligation to educate you, but I must remind you that if you do this again To destroy your reputation is to give the enemy material to attack you, and when it comes to court, no one will believe you.”

"Ah... no..." Chen Yu shook his head uneasily. He looked at Ouyang Hongfei and pursed his lips a few times with an aggrieved expression, but he hesitated to speak.

"You...you don't need to tell me why you stole things," Ouyang Hongfei softened his tone, "Don't blame me for being too strict, I'm also doing it for your own good. Think about it again, I'll take you home now , where is your home? Is this direction right?"

Chen Yu's face contorted for a moment, his head lowered and his shoulders sank.

"I have no home." The end of the speech was like a sigh.

Ouyang Hongfei: "...what's going on?"

"I couldn't pay the rent, and I still owed two months, so I... ran out secretly."

Ouyang Hongfei suddenly felt something twist in his heart. While looking ahead, he turned his head to observe Chen Yu's state.

"I have nowhere to go, so I just thought, or steal something and let the police arrest me." Chen Yu laughed at himself, "As long as I can live in the detention center, I will wait until my mother's lawsuit is over. At once……"

He wanted to say that after the lawsuit was over, he could end it on his own.

"So you went to the convenience store and just stole a loaf?"

"Well, I don't want to cause trouble for others, besides, I was really hungry at that time." Chen Yu smiled wryly again.

Ouyang Hongfei blinked his eyes a few times in a hurry to prevent the eye sockets from getting wet. He stopped the car on the side of the road.

"You want to be locked up in the detention center because you think it's safe there, right?" Ouyang Hongfei looked at Chen Yu's profile with gentle eyes, although Chen Yu kept his head down and didn't dare to look at him.

Chen Yu didn't answer, but pursed his lips even tighter.

"If I say that the place where I live is also very safe, would you like to move to my house?"

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and gazed into Ouyang Hongfei's eyes through his thick bangs.

"You have to believe that there are many good people besides bad people in this world. I am willing to help you."

Chen Yu showed a troubled expression, and Ouyang Hongfei cast a more determined look at him, as if a kind of order to make Chen Yu believe in him, Chen Yu looked away from his face, but there was a hint of relief on the corner of his mouth radians.

"Go, I'll take you to have a big meal!" Ouyang Hongfei started the car and drove towards his favorite restaurant.

***

Ouyang Hongfei's home is a spacious three-bedroom apartment, exuding a simple and stylish atmosphere of a single aristocrat, but because he was busy with work and did not hire an hourly worker to clean it in time, the room was inevitably a little messy.

Chen Yu's shyness and hesitation when he walked into the room gave Ouyang Hongfei the illusion of taking his girlfriend home. He scratched the back of his head and apologized shyly for the mess in the house.

Chen Yu looked around the room, and his gaze fell on the sofa in the living room. Ouyang Hongfei followed his gaze and saw a few pairs of underwear that he had thrown on the sofa.

He panicked and ran over to pack his things. Chen Yu was behind him, seeing the different appearance of the majestic barrister Ouyang on weekdays, he couldn't help snickering a few times.

Ouyang Hongfei introduced his family situation to Chen Yu. His parents and elder sister had immigrated abroad, and he was reluctant to go through the immigration procedures because he couldn't let go of his career.

Now he lives in one bedroom by himself, and the remaining two are reserved for his parents and sister. They will return to China twice a year around the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ouyang Hongfei led Chen Yu into his sister's room and told him that this was his bedroom.

Chen Yu carefully looked at every piece of furniture in the room, such as the bed, cabinet, desk, and chair, as if he was so focused on seeing all the objects for the first time.

Ouyang Hongfei clearly saw the change of Chen Yu's expression from confusion to stability to joy.

"You stay here first, and tell me if you need anything..."

"Here..." Chen Yu interrupted Ouyang Hongfei, his eyes were still circling around the four walls of the room, and the expression on his face was as if he had got something he dreamed of, "Here, it really looks like..."

"like what?"

Chen Yu turned his head around and looked at Ouyang Hongfei with a rare bright smile on his face.

"It's really like a home!"

Ouyang Hongfei saw this child's heartfelt happiness, but couldn't help feeling distressed. It turned out that what Chen Yu dreamed of was a home.

The next day was Saturday. Years of martial arts practice had allowed Ouyang Hongfei to develop a precise biological clock, so he didn't sleep in late, and still got up just after six o'clock.

Afraid of waking Chen Yu up, he tiptoed up, walked out of the room in his pajamas, and walked to the bathroom.

When he passed the kitchen, he found that Chen Yu was fully dressed and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron that he hadn't used for many years.

He scratched the hair that was like a chicken coop, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, so he gave a dry cough.

Chen Yu turned his head when he heard the sound, and staggered back timidly when he saw Ouyang Hongfei, but Ouyang Hongfei could clearly see that Chen Yu's big eyes behind his bangs smiled into drunken crescents.

"I thought you would sleep in late...but it will be fine soon, you...just wait!"

Ouyang Hongfei cleaned himself up as quickly as possible, and when he returned to the kitchen, Chen Yu had already served a sumptuous breakfast on the table.

Ouyang Hongfei felt flattered. After all, this was the first time in recent years that he had breakfast made for him by others. His two hands clenched into fists for a while, and then spread out again. He rubbed his thighs subconsciously, watching The food on the table seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to eat.

But Chen Yu misunderstood what he meant.

"Sir, you... you can eat, I cook very clean, and my hands... are also clean."

"No! That's not what I meant..."

Ouyang Hongfei raised his head, wanting to correct Chen Yu's self-deprecating thoughts, just in time to see Chen Yu raised his right hand and fiddled with the bangs covering his eyes. He grabbed Chen Yu's hand.

"Alas..." Chen Yu sighed softly, and made a movement of pulling his hand back.

But Ouyang Hongfei could no longer let go of his hand.

The nails on the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of that hand have only grown halfway, and the tender flesh of the fingertips is exposed without any cover, as if it would be injured at any time.

On the newly grown nail cover, in the middle, there is a milky white mark that seems to be drawn from the inside of the nail, running from the top of the nail to the root.

"Chen Yu!"

Ouyang Hongfei's eyes were red, he had already guessed what kind of suffering Chen Yu's fingers had suffered, but he didn't have the courage to say it out.

Chen Yu looked like he was about to cry, trying to pull his hand back.

Regardless of Chen Yu's dodge, Ouyang Hongfei grabbed his left hand to check again. The index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his left hand also showed the same tragic state.

"They... how could they be so cruel?" Ouyang Hongfei roared loudly to cover up the trembling in his voice.

"Don't... don't look at it, it's too ugly..." Chen Yu hung his head on his chest, with tears in his eyes.

"Tell me, what did they do?" Ouyang Hongfei held Chen Yu's hands in his own, still staring at his fingertips with surprised eyes.

"They...they used hot needles...to pick my nails...and to insert..."

Chen Yu let out a series of choked sobs, and when Ouyang Hongfei was shocked and dazed, he withdrew his hand back.

"Bastard!" Ouyang Hongfei thumped the dining table with his fist.

Chen Yu's body curled up into a ball, he looked at Ouyang Hongfei timidly, saw him gnashing his teeth like a beast, and heaving his chest greatly, Chen Yu wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he choked up again.

At this moment, Ouyang Hongfei suddenly thought of something, and his expression became excited.

"Finally left a piece of evidence! How dare they hurt your finger? Hmph, nails regenerate much slower than skin and flesh! Chen Yu, let's do an injury appraisal right away to prove when your finger was injured. I can see how they are still quibbling!"

Ouyang Hongfei described the specific arrangement again, and then joked with Chen Yu carelessly to ease Chen Yu's nervous mood,

Chen Yu suddenly felt that Ouyang Hongfei's cynical appearance was very similar to Kevin.

"Wow! It's so delicious! Chen Yu, your cooking skills are really good!" Ouyang Hongfei's mouth was full of food, and he muttered in a voice, "What kind of soup are you cooking?"

"Chicken soup, I should have added some chestnuts, but I didn't have time to buy it." Chen Yu smiled wryly.

"I know that making soup with chestnuts and chicken is good for the stomach. What time did you get up? Doesn't this soup take a long time?"

Chen Yu didn't speak, but shook his head humbly.

"I've been staying up late lately, and my stomach is really uncomfortable. Chen Yu, thank you!"

Chen Yu served a bowl of soup for Ouyang Hongfei, with an easy-going smile on his face all the time, but his thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

It would be nice to go back to the first time I drank this soup.
