On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Chanyun Commercial Building on Jiefang Street.
The sun was shining brightly, and a few rays of warm sunshine gently entered the room.
Chen Shu was sitting on the big bed in his bedroom, nibbling on a peeled apple while watching the Dongzhou local news hosted by Zhang Yang on the TV.
There was an armchair beside the big bed, and a plainly dressed woman in her fifties sat on it. She placed a paring knife and a small plate with several rolls of peel on the bedside table next to her.
She stared at the TV and commented casually like an ordinary housewife: "This girl looks really comfortable."
Zhang Yang in the show is still so smart and capable, and her exquisite makeup and decent dress make her a duck to water in the interview. Although the girl being interviewed is much younger, she is undoubtedly inferior in comparison.
But we can't let her know that I jumped off the building... Chen Shu picked up the remote control and changed the channel, pretending to be casual and said: "Mom, let's watch another movie."
Mother Chen's eyebrows dropped and she scolded: "Just look at the news! Don't think that I don't know anything because I am old! This is the case where you were injured!"
There is no mother in this world who doesn't care about her children. As the saying goes, a child is a piece of flesh that falls off the mother's body. It doesn't matter whether the child has grown up or how old it is. Even if the child only suffers a small injury
, will make the mother feel distressed and wish she could hurt herself.
Chen Shu felt guilty and switched the channel back.
"...Xiao Li, how were you feeling at that time?"
Zhang Yang handed the microphone to the girl Xiaoli.
Xiaoli closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, and then took a long breath: "Because someone grabbed her hair from behind, she felt that the back of her neck was cold, as if a knife would be stabbed in the next second.
Thrust in."
Zhang Yang exclaimed "Ah" and raised his hand to pat his chest: "Then how did you feel after you were rescued by the police?"
Xiaoli opened her eyes and looked at the camera with a smile: "Originally, I thought I was about to die, but the policeman suddenly fell from the sky and killed the bad guy. I was confused at the time. Well, I was later helped out by the policemen.
When I went outside, I felt that the sunshine outside was very bright and warm."
On the TV screen, a long shot of the first floor of the waiting hall of a train station case was cut from the side.
In the photo, a man with bloody flesh was slumped against the corner without any movement. In front of him, a man wearing a red safety helmet and a black coat was limping with his right foot, leaning down to press his left hand.
On the head of a girl sitting in front of him who was covering her face and crying.
Zhang Yang's joking voice then sounded: "Xiao Li, are you sure this person is a policeman? He doesn't look like it. Could he be a plumber and electricity worker at the station?"
Xiaoli raised a sweet smile: "I'm sure! He is a very handsome policeman!"
"How handsome, can you describe it?"
Xiaoli put her index finger on her pouty lips and thought for a moment: "Looking back now, if I can describe him in one word, then he... is... just... light? His face is shining!
"
After a puff, Xiaoli herself laughed first: "I was confused at the time. In fact, I can't remember what that little brother looked like now. But I'm pretty sure he is also a very warm little brother!"
"Oh?" Zhang Yang raised the corners of his lips and suddenly became interested, "Xiaoli, why do you say he is very warm?"
Remembering how the police gently stopped her from looking back at the terrifying scene and the demonic man, Xiaoli's heart was filled with warmth: "Hey, it's a secret."
Zhang Yang pursed his lips and paused for a moment. Chen Shu could feel the slight chill through the TV screen.
Immediately, Zhang Yang put on his signature smile: "Xiaoli, after going through this incident, do you think it will have an impact on your future psychology?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoli started to shake her head, and then playfully saluted the camera: "Yes! I think I will definitely find a policeman with a sense of security as my boyfriend in the future!"
"Okay. It's commercial time now. Host." Zhang Yang said calmly.
Seeing an advertisement in the middle of the news, Chen Ma stood up with a sigh, took Chen Shu's leftover fruit core and put it on the small plate on the bedside table, picked it up together and walked out.
"I don't have to worry about going to work. I'm now in my twenties and I don't even have a girlfriend. Hey!"
Chen Shu glanced at his right foot, which was propped up by pillows and covered with an ice pack. He smiled and turned around to comfort: "Mom, it's not a big problem. You can see that the swelling has gone away a lot. You don't have to worry, the doctor said yesterday
, I’ll be able to go to bed in about ten days. And then about my girlfriend... eh... Mom!"
Chen's mother didn't listen to Chen Shu's explanation and walked straight to the kitchen outside the house.
Chen Shu picked up the remote control and switched channels. He turned around and looked bored, then threw the remote control aside, touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, opened WeChat, and started reading.
The first unread message was sent by my old superior Zeng Hong last night, saying that he would bring someone over to visit him this morning.
The second unread message was from the new superior Li Da, who also said that he would come over this morning with Xie Chi, the deputy instructor of the brigade.
The third item is Chen Chuan from the Municipal Bureau of Technical Investigation, who also said he would come to visit in the afternoon.
The fourth item is congratulations from forensic doctor Julie for second-class merit.
Has the second-class merit been approved?
Looking at the sun outside, Chen Shu didn't have time to take a closer look, so he quickly took the crutches lying on the side and skipped to the toilet.
After taking a shower and changing into freshly washed clothes that still had a fresh fragrance, Chen Ma knocked on the door outside the toilet, saying that a guest had arrived and asked him to come out to receive her.
His tone was filled with joy.
I originally thought that my mother, who had been strong and defensive since she was a child, would definitely scold her with a livid face in front of the leader this time. Unexpectedly, it sounded like it was not what he thought.
Chen Shu tidied up briefly, opened the door, and followed Chen Ma to the living room with a cane.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as the two of them turned the corner, they saw Zeng Hong and Zhang Yang sitting next to him.
Today's publicity is different from the professional style on TV. At this time, he wears simple sneakers, jeans, and a plain cotton jacket. He has a single ponytail, his face is bare, and his white and tender skin with strong capital is inlaid with a pair of exquisite and clear eyes.
.
After Chen Ma helped Chen Shu sit down, she said happily: "You guys talk first, I'll get you some fruit and tea."
Some people are beautiful, but stiff and distant. But those who are flamboyantly beautiful are gentle and tender, making people feel close to them.
As soon as she opened her mouth, it was as if the spring breeze was blowing, refreshing and comfortable: "Auntie, please sit down, you don't have to be so busy. We are all friends of Chen Shu, come and sit down and leave."
I have experienced the intimacy of big scenes, and my emotional intelligence is so high that I won’t feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
"It's not busy! It's definitely not busy! You guys must sit a little longer, you must sit a little longer!"
Chen Ma waved her hands and ran towards the kitchen, but Zhang Yang couldn't stop her at all.
Zhang Yang turned around, looked at Chen Shu and let out a "hum", then threw the pen and notebook on the coffee table, but did not speak again. His attitude was completely different from the previous conversation with Chen's mother.
Zeng Hong coughed a few times and said: "Xiao Shu, reporter Zhang came here today for your own good. This time I am going to give you an exclusive interview, and I have already given it a name, called "Dongzhou Heroes"...
..."
Chen Shu glanced at the kitchen where Chen's mother was, and cautiously agreed: "I will definitely cooperate with the whole process of this interview, but I can't let my mother know that I jumped from the building yesterday."
Zeng Hong nodded, feeling the same.
As a front-line police officer, I would rather suffer a little more than make my family worried every day.
"In addition to the interview for a while, I have good news for you. It originally took two months to get the second-class merit after going through the process, but this time it has been approved for you in advance. Originally, I was going to help you go to the bureau to get it, but
..."
"Dong dong dong!"
Before Zeng Hong could say a few words, there was a knock on the door. Chen's mother, who was in the kitchen, quickly ran over and opened the door.
"Hello, aunt! We are colleagues of Chen Shu, and we came here specially to visit him today!"
There was a crisp sound from the door.
Then Li Da, who was wearing special police training uniforms, walked into the living room with a man and a woman in the same clothes.
The man should be Xie Chi, the deputy instructor who Li Da mentioned on WeChat. This girl in her twenties should be the back-office staff of the team. She was the one who greeted Ma Chen at the door just now.
The three of them entered the room. Before the leaders Li Da and Xie Chi could say anything, the girl with short hair trotted up to the Chen Shu, wrinkled her cute and smart little nose, and stood at attention with a "pop" and saluted.
.
"Chen Da, Zhengming District Special Police Brigade, Zou Qing is reporting to you!"
A room full of police leaders, plus a big reporter, all stared at Chen Shu. Ordinary people would stutter when talking, but who is Chen Shu?
After working in the local police station for seven or eight years, I was the boss who had to take a bite of the dung truck passing by the door.
Calmly and confidently, he took the crutches aside and stood up. Chen Shu also responded to his first meeting with Zou Qing with a standard return gift.
"Hello, Zou Qing. Everyone, please sit down. The house is in chaos and I'm laughing."
After everyone sat down, Mother Chen came out of the kitchen with a plate of teacups and delivered the tea one by one.
Especially in front of Zou Qing and Zhang Yang, the smiles in his eyes almost burst out.
"You guys chat, I'm going to get busy!"
Mother Chen put down her tea cup, looked around with a smile, and then returned to the kitchen.
Li Da laughed and first said, "The lesbians in our team have their own personalities." Then he coughed twice and formally introduced: "This is Xie Chi, the deputy instructor of our team, who is responsible for the personnel and finance of the team.
and service arrangements.”
Xie Chi smiled and nodded to everyone as a greeting.
Li Da pointed his hand: "This is the internal staff of our brigade, Zou Qing. Ahem, we all know each other before."
Zou Qing opened a pair of eye-catching red phoenix eyes and looked straight at Chen Shu, a little presumptuous: "Chen Da, I am also from the Provincial Police Academy. Can I call you senior brother from now on?"
Generally speaking, a title is a very important thing that can reflect the intimacy between each other. Logically speaking, since they are both from the same school, it would not be a big deal for Zou Qing to call him Senior Brother Chen Shu. But in the current situation, the two of them are
When we met for the first time, Zou Qing's self-assertive behavior was somewhat embarrassing.
Chen Shu could only treat her as a child and nodded in agreement.
But Zhang Yang, who was sitting opposite, didn't think so. What she saw was clearly an enemy with extremely strong combat power.
Wearing a heroic SWAT tight-fitting suit, her makeup is light, but her big almond eyes are full of hope. Her facial features are naturally very beautiful, and the little skin exposed on her body is a wheat color full of youthful vitality, giving her a firm and athletic beauty.
"It's so rude." Zhang Yang snorted coldly, and his sense of presence was refreshed.
After hearing the hidden meaning of the two little girls' words, Zeng Hong and Xie Chi quickly lowered their heads and drank tea to hide the smiles in their eyes.
The big boss Li Da was still shouting: "Chen Shu, you are really good at causing trouble! But our special police like to cause trouble! By the way, this is the condolence payment from the unit, not much, just two thousand, but you
It must be accepted. Otherwise, other injured comrades will not be able to be accepted in the future!"
While everyone was chatting, Chen's mother rushed to open the door and welcomed in several Chen Shu's classmates.
As soon as Mr. Chen Chuan, a technical detective from the city bureau, entered the door, he enthusiastically shouted "Hello, auntie!" He didn't treat Chen Shu's house as someone else's house, so he ran to the kitchen and brought a few cans of iced Coke to the living room.
Sitting next to Chen Shu, he joked: "Shu, did you miss me?"
He glanced around and didn't care about Li Da, Zeng Hong and other people from the branch, but when he saw Zhang Yang, his eyes could no longer move.
Cheng Mian, the legal officer of the municipal bureau, seemed more stable. He was standing at the door with several large bags of fruit and chatting with Chen's mother about home affairs.
Traffic policeman Zhang Wei picked a chair by himself and placed it in the free space next to the coffee table. He sat on it and ate melon seeds while listening to everyone bragging.
The house is not big, but there are many people.
Chen Shu took the time to open his phone and looked at the series of unread messages on it, feeling warm in his heart.
...
In the evening, Dongzhou TV, legal column team
In the brightly lit office, several men and women with work ID cards hanging on their chests were sitting at their desks happily eating late-night snacks, preparing to go home after get off work.
With a "bang", the door of the innermost office was opened. Zhang Yang stood at the door and called photographer Xiao Zhao in.
Zhang Yang, who always puts his work first, sat on his office chair, resting his chin on his hands, and asked hesitantly: "Xiao Zhao, what kind of girls do you think your men like?"
Xiao Zhao, who was holding a plastic bowl and putting noodles in his mouth, choked suddenly and took a long breath before he regained his composure.
Looking at the eldest sister of the column team who was resolute and resolute during the day, he was surprised and said: "Sister Yang, could it be that you..."
Zhang Yang frowned and waved his hand: "Don't ask those vain questions, just tell me what you think?"
Xiao Zhao put the plastic bowl aside and organized his words: "In this society, it seems that men must stand upright and cannot show a trace of weakness, cry or cry out in pain. This characterization is very narrow, even Andy Lau sees it.
I couldn’t stop, so I wrote a song called “It’s not a sin for a man to cry”..."
Zhang Yang looked confused and suspicious, and then heard the other party continue:
"In the final analysis, you have to find what a man needs. I think it is gentle love. Men need a haven where they can rest. They need someone to have when they are wronged and not understood, or when they are working hard on weekdays.
Talk to him and listen to his complaints."
As he said that, Xiao Zhao squatted down a little, put his fists under his face, suddenly became tender, and said shyly: "Come on, brother, please come on!"
Zhang Yang trembled, and Xiao Zhao gave him goosebumps all over his body.
She pointed at herself and said in surprise: "Do you think it looks like it?"
Xiao Zhao suddenly withered like a deflated balloon. He picked up the half-eaten plastic bowl and walked away dejectedly.
Zhang Yang, who was very purposeful, stood up and walked to the window, thinking that Xiao Zhao, who was talking nonsense, had one thing right.
