gentle on behalf of

Wen Shuo really didn't know that today was Dai Zhenheng's birthday, so he quickly said happy birthday, and then quickly checked his phone to confirm today's date.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me in advance!" After finishing speaking, he continued to read, "I didn't know, I wasn't prepared at all! Ahhh, I didn't even know!"

Dai Zhenheng's gloomy mood was greatly improved by a few words: "It's not a big deal."

"It's your birthday!" Wen Shuo was still thinking about it, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to prepare a birthday present, but he had to give something, his Brother Zhen was so kind to him, it would be too heartless to show him nothing.

What can I give?He was worried again.

Before he could come to a conclusion, another colleague over there called him out, Wen Shuo hurriedly said to Dai Zhenheng on the other end of the phone: "Brother, I have to go out to work, hang up first, you are done tonight Call me! I'll wait for your call, if you don't call me, I won't sleep! Remember!"

Dai Zhenheng let out a "hmm" and told him to be careful before hanging up.

While running out, Wen Shuo sent him a voice message: "Brother, remember to call me, I want to sing you a birthday song!"

After Dai Zhenheng hung up the phone, he was in a much better mood than before, and when he returned to the banquet hall, he finally had a smile on his face.

Today's game was originally organized in the name of his birthday, but the main purpose of course is not to celebrate his birthday, but to connect with the bosses, and bring the sons and daughters of each family to look at each other, in case there is a match Isn't that a good thing.

Dai's family has been in business for generations, and their family background is rich. In addition, Dai Zhenheng's education, appearance, and figure are not to mention outstanding, and he is very outstanding among this group of second-generation children.

For such a person, it really doesn't make sense if you don't recruit a few bees to attract a few butterflies.

The surrogate father happily watched his son who was surrounded by people and didn't help him out, which made the fat boss next to him shake his head repeatedly: "This kid, Zhenheng, is good at everything, just stubborn."

"Isn't it hard to be stubborn?" The acting father was happy for himself, and he would be unhappy when he heard others say that his son was not good. "Don't you just look at his stubbornness and think that he is the best?"

The fat boss couldn't talk to him, so he could only sigh: "It's good, but doesn't this delay me? It's already 27."

Acting father: "My dear father is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Wen Shuo also planned to have time to think about what to send Dai Zhenheng, but he ran around all afternoon and didn't make time at all.

Before getting off work, I finally took the opportunity to sit down and drink two sips of water. Before the cup was put back on the table, I called the police again. The enthusiastic citizens called the police, saying that there was a young man standing there on the bridge by the river for a long time, and he was suspected of jumping into the river. .

Okay, throw down the water glass and hurry over.

The river that the caller mentioned was not far behind the police station, and it took less than 5 minutes for Wen Shuo and the auxiliary police to drive there.

But he didn't dare to drive the car too close, for fear that the man would get excited again when he saw the police car, and jump over the railing and jump off.

After getting out of the car, Wen Shuo ran a few steps, and saw the familiar people standing on the bridge from a distance, and walking further, he suddenly found that the young man was Zhang Zeshan.

After telling the auxiliary policeman to wait here, Wen Shuo let go and walked over: "Zhang Zeshan!"

Zhang Zeshan heard someone tell him to look back, saw that it was Wen Shuo, and smiled: "Officer Xiao Wen."

Wen Shuo strolled over and stood half an arm away from him, put his hands on the bridge railing and looked down: "Hey, the water is a bit shallow. If you fall, you will break an arm and a leg at most, so you won't drown."

Zhang Zeshan laughed when he heard it, and asked after he finished laughing, "Did I cause you trouble again?"

"That's not true." Wen Shuo tilted his head to look at him, "Have you been standing here for a long time? Have you figured it out yet?"

Zhang Zeshan didn't answer immediately, he looked down at the stone platform under the bridge railing, stepped on it, leaned over to look at the river under the bridge, and then asked, "Officer Xiao Wen, are you also a local?"

Seeing him like this, Wen Shuo wasn't too nervous, he just nodded and pointed in the direction: "From Village X."

"Then you have to be born a few years earlier, maybe we can still be classmates." Zhang Zeshan raised his chin and motioned Wen Shuo to look at a row of small islands on the south side of the river bank. The island is also connected, and there is a dirt road on it. The trees on both sides of the dirt road are older than me."

"Probably when I was in elementary school, when my dad's illness was not so severe, he often took me here by bicycle to fish for fish and insects in this river."

Wen Shuo said "Hey", "What a coincidence, my dad brought me here too."

Zhang Zeshan smiled, and his usually numb face rarely showed a bit of peace.

It was just at sunset, and the two of them looked at the scenery in front of them for a while without speaking, as if they were both stuck in memories.

After a while, Wen Shuo said: "Later, my father passed away. When I was in the third year of junior high school, some gangsters got drunk and made trouble. He went to the police to break up the fight, and was stabbed to death."

Zhang Zeshan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say that his father would be better off dead than alive, but he didn't say anything, and started talking about something else: "Today my uncle and the others are here."

Wen Shuo knew that he wanted to talk to him, it was a good thing, it proved that this person probably didn't think about jumping into the river or anything.

"I brought some things, I'm not at home, my aunt and my mother brought home." Zhang Zeshan's previous traces of Ning He disappeared at this moment, and the indifference appeared again on Zhang Zeshan's handsome face , as if talking about other people's family, "Then my mother and my aunt went to my aunt's house for dinner. I ran out after cooking for my grandma and the two of them. I didn't dare to stay at home for fear of arguing with my father. "

"Why are you so noisy?" Wen Shuo asked.

"My uncle was sick a while ago and had a tumor on his lung. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the tumor was relatively small. The medical technology in my hometown is limited, so I came to our place for another examination. After the examination, the result was better than expected Well, let’s do the surgery along the way.”

Zhang Zeshan said: "Can my mother be relieved? I couldn't eat or sleep for several days, and cried secretly at night. I went to the hospital several times because of this matter, but I was afraid that my aunt would go to see my uncle or something. I didn’t say anything. She went to the hospital and came home later than she went to work, so my dad just made a fuss, and I couldn’t listen to what he said.”

"I used to yell at him when I got angry, but since the incident last time, I have also learned to restrain myself, but I can't stand him so angry." Zhang Zeshan sighed, "Today my uncle came to review, It's not easy yet, so I didn't let him come to my house. How is my dad, he dare not speak in front of my mother, and when I go back, he will yell at me that my uncle doesn't respect him. "

"I ignored him. But I really wanted to ask him in my heart, what is there to respect about a person like you? Are you so kind to my mother, or are you so filial to my grandma and grandpa?" To what extent? Besides, my uncle didn’t come, didn’t my aunt come? You don’t ask why my uncle didn’t come, and you open your mouth to accuse others of disrespecting him.”

"How can people respect you for such a person?"

Wen Shuo was also speechless. He wanted to persuade him, but he felt that it was useless to say anything. No one can say something nice, but what problem can it solve?

Reaching out to pat Zhang Zeshan's shoulder, Wen Shuo sighed, "Oh."

"Actually, I stood here for a while and thought about it for a long time, and I felt that my mother also has problems." Zhang Zeshan looked down at the gentle river under the bridge, "There is almost no communication between her and my father. Solve it. My dad is a little afraid of her, dare not say anything in front of her, and loses his temper at my grandma."

"My grandma is even worse. While being scolded by her own son and crying, saying that she will no longer care about her son, she still protects her son, wishing she could do everything for him. As for me, I can only bear it, because they are my elders , is the one who gave birth to me and raised me."

Wen Shuo had nothing to say. From his point of view, he definitely couldn't persuade people to be irresponsible to their family members, but let's leave this matter here.

Did Zhang Zeshan do something wrong?No.But since he was born in this family, he has to bear all of this. This is in line with the core values, and he is a qualified normal person in people's eyes.

After being silent for a while, Wen Shuo shook Zhang Zeshan's shoulders, "Let's go, find a place to eat. I ate a piece of bread at noon, and I'm starving to death now."

Zhang Zeshan didn't hesitate and nodded: "Success, I invite you."

The two of them went back to the police station with the auxiliary police first. When they got there, they looked at their watches. It was time for Wen Shuo to get off work.

After going in and changing clothes, Wen Shuo and Zhang Zeshan hit it off immediately and went to a fly restaurant for barbecue.

The restaurant is just behind the middle school next to the police station. It has been around for a long time. It was there when Zhang Zeshan was in school, and later when Wen Shuo was in junior high school, he also came here to eat with friends.

The two sat down at a table, ordered food, and opened two bottles of wine.

Wen Shuo was thinking about making an appointment with Dai Zhenheng to call in the evening, afraid that he would be delayed, so he took advantage of Zhang Zeshan's time to wash his hands and quickly sent Dai Zhenheng a wechat, reported his itinerary, and then sent Mother Wen called and said she would not go back for dinner.

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Zeshan hadn't come back yet, but Dai Zhenheng's WeChat reply was quite fast, so he asked him to drink less, and went back to sleep with him when it was too late.

While Wen Shuo honestly agreed, he thought cheerfully, how could he be afraid of walking around at night at such an age, a man, and a policeman?

But looking at the WeChat message sent by Dai Zhenheng, he felt very comfortable in his heart, knowing that he cared about himself and it was beautiful.

When Zhang Zeshan came back, he saw him smirking at the phone, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there nothing to delay you?"

"No." Wen Shuo quickly put the phone on the table, "Then what is there to delay?"

"It's okay, you just get back when you have news, don't worry about me." Seeing that he didn't plan to check his phone in the middle of the meal, Zhang Zeshan felt a little embarrassed, "Don't delay your chat with your girlfriend."

Wen Shuo was a little confused by what he said: "I don't have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Zeshan: "No girlfriend? That's my misunderstanding. I just saw you smiling so happily at your phone, and thought you were chatting with your girlfriend."

"Hey, no, just a buddy..." After finishing speaking, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out.

Wen Shuo wasn't a tangled character in this respect, so he just gave up if he couldn't figure it out. Just as the wine and food were on the table, he immediately called Zhang Zeshan to eat, and said while gobbling: "Eat, eat, eat! I won't be with you You are welcome!"

It was nearly ten o'clock after Wen Shuo and Zhang Zeshan finished their meal, and they drank a lot of beer, so they were dizzy when they paid the bill.

The two of them walked out of the restaurant shoulder to shoulder, muttering to each other as they walked.

Wen Shuo originally wanted to go back to his own home, but when he walked to the gate of Dai Zhenheng's residential area, his legs, feet and mouth couldn't control him: "I, I'm home!"

Zhang Zeshan turned his face and glanced at the neighborhood next to him: "Do you live here?"

Wen Shuo raised his chest and raised his head: "I'm taking a room here!"

Zhang Zeshan was amused by him: "That's it, you go back, are you walking steadily?"

"Better than you!" Wen Shuo deliberately took two steps to show him, "You go back, don't quarrel with your father when you go back!"

Zhang Zeshan nodded: "I promise not to make noise."

Hearing what he said, Wen Shuo was relieved, nodded vigorously, said goodbye again, then turned around and walked into the community.

Zhang Zeshan behind him stood where he was and did not leave immediately.

At this moment, Zhang Zeshan is greedy for the time with Wen Shuo. The comfort this person brings to him makes him feel warm and gives him an inexplicable urge to hold him in his hands and never let him go again. open.
