A few days later, in the inpatient department of the hospital, early in the morning.
After knowing that he was fine, Chen Shu felt much more relaxed. In addition to telling himself a few words secretly when he woke up every day, "I won't do this again," "You only have one life," and "I haven't asked for a wife to give birth to a child to support my parents." His life was fine.
Leisure.
At this time, he was lying on the hospital bed, happily eating the fresh apples sent by Chen's mother yesterday while scrolling through Douyin on his mobile phone.
"Captain Chen." Pu Shu, wearing casual clothes, opened the door and walked in, greeted him and sat down by the bed.
This young man, who is delicate and sensitive, was persuaded by Chen Shu for a long time when he came to visit several times. Looking at his current demeanor, he should have come out of the shadow of the last fire accident.
Chen Shu took out an apple from the bag on the bedside table and threw it over. He smiled and said, "After washing it, let's eat it. Why are you free to come here today? Are you not at work?"
Pu Shu took the apple, gnawed it down, and said calmly: "Team Chen, I have resigned."
Resign?
Chen Shu, who bit down on half of the apple flesh with his teeth, took a big bite and ate it for a long time.
"Well, that's good. The job of cooperating with the police is really not a long-term solution."
"That's not the reason."
Chen Shu took a few more bites of the apple: "Well, there's always a reason."
Pu Shu asked: "Captain Chen, didn't you want to ask me why I wanted to resign?"
Chen Shu wrapped the leftover apple cores in paper towels and placed them on the bedside table. He smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. You are already in your twenties. Do you still want to ask others when doing things? But if you are willing to talk to me,
If you talk a lot, I think I will be a good listener."
Pu Shu chuckled, then took a few bites of the apple, finished the apple quickly, wrapped the remaining apple core in paper towels according to Chen Shu's instructions, and placed it gently on the bedside table.
He looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and seemed to be recalling: "Captain Chen. In fact, I have admired heroes since I was a child, and I also thought that I could be a hero when I grow up. But I couldn't get good grades, and I didn't take the exam when I grew up.
I had to go to the police, so I had to come over and act as a co-op to have a taste of what it was like.
"Although I put on a police uniform, sometimes I naively think that I have really become a policeman who fights violence. But in fact, I am just a fake policeman wearing a police uniform."
Chen Shu wanted to explain, but he couldn't bear it.
Pu Shu stopped and listened to the crisp chirping of birds outside the window. After a while, he spoke again: "Later, my family put pressure on me to quit this dead-end job. At that time, everyone stopped me.
As long as you coldly agree to let me go."
On the eve of the competition, Pu Shu's mother came to the work unit to force him to resign. However, he still withstood the pressure and delayed for a while, trying to get excellent results in the competition to silence the opposition from his family.
"Lengbingbing?" Chen Shu was stunned, but still laughed, "Am I so unkind?"
"Yeah." Pu Shu said frankly, pulling his eyes back from the window and looking at his respected captain, "I complained about you afterwards. I felt that you had no comradeship. You are worthy of being a leader from the police station.
.”
Chen Shu touched his nose and said nothing.
Pu Shu lowered his head, twisted his hands for a long time, and then said: "It wasn't until last week that I followed you and everyone else to put out the fire. You also knew that day that I was rushing upstairs to save people."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I can feel it. Your attitude is quite firm."
Pu Shu lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth, not letting Chen Shu see his expression of whether he was smiling or not crying: "Captain Chen, you stopped me... Well, you stopped me well. I was standing behind you on the stairs.
I watched you jump off the fourth-floor balcony, do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and remembered the scene when he decided to jump off the balcony on the fourth floor.
He held the little boy in his arms and stood on the balcony with his back against the wall. He was faced with thick smoke, and flames were constantly spraying from the balcony two meters away. Behind him, there were gusts of cold wind.
Closing my eyes, I felt like I was back in time again.
He held the little boy in his right hand and looked down at the road below.
The old building is very tall, and my limbs are very weak.
That feeling is fear.
"It's fear." Pu Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said firmly, "At that time, I put myself in your position in my heart, and my heart was full of fear. Standing downstairs, I was always glad that I listened to you.
Ordered, ran upstairs to save people without impulse."
Instead of caring about face like young people, Pushu expressed his feelings as if he were facing his elders, even though it was full of shameful fear and avoidance.
Chen Shu opened his eyes and stared at the former SWAT team member in front of him with a vicissitude in his tone that was completely inconsistent with his young appearance.
He tried to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak. Because his first reaction at that time was also fear. Until today, a week later, he would wake up from his dreams at night. When he touched the quilt covering him and the quilt underneath,
All are wet.
People say that Chen Shu is a "Desperate Saburo", but only he knows that his reverence for life makes him rather be a coward.
At this point, Pu Shu changed his tone and became more relaxed: "Captain Chen, I have figured it out. I cannot be a real policeman like a hero. If I am given another chance to encounter this fire scene,
I will definitely still be a coward. Haha, I will definitely be a coward.”
In fact, you are not a coward. You were much braver than most people when you took the initiative to go upstairs to save people... Chen Shu had a look of regret on his face, but he was still not prepared to say anything to persuade people to stay in the team.
It must have been decided that Pu Shu could come over today. Chen Shu could feel that today Pu Shu came over not only to say goodbye to Chen Shu as the captain, but also to say goodbye to his own past, and to end his dream of being a police officer since he was a child.
Chen Shu nodded: "Although you have left the police force, in your future work and life, I believe that the police will be hidden in every corner of your heart. Pu Shu, the police are not necessarily heroes, but heroes
It doesn’t have to be the police either.

When they get old, they will slowly rely on you to take care of them. In their eyes, no matter how big a hero they are, they are not as good as you who are down-to-earth and take care of the family."
Pu Shu nodded in understanding, then felt relieved, patted his chest, and said, "Captain Chen, actually I don't regret it."
Yes, Pu Shu will definitely not regret his years as a policeman, nor will he regret his resignation today. As long as he can continue to walk firmly on the path he has chosen.
After thinking for a while, Chen Shu turned over and pulled out a pair of police training uniforms from under the bed, and tore off the adhesive armband with the word "police" written on it.
He held Pu Shu's hand with his left hand, pressed the armband firmly into his palm with his right hand, and said earnestly: "Once a policeman, always a policeman. I wish you a safe journey in the future, and come back to see everyone when you have time."
Pu Shu burst into tears and nodded heavily.
Stand up and salute.
...
Not long after Pu Shu left the ward, Zhang Yang walked in.
During the week that Chen Shu was hospitalized, Zhang Yang came to visit every day. No matter how busy he was at work or how late the time was, she would definitely come over. Every time he dressed up in a style that would amaze even Chen Shu, a steely straight man.
Endless.
She was wearing a long skirt with a waistband, and a ribbon outlined her slim waist. Her waist was slimmed down, and her plump breasts were highlighted. This figure made Chen Shu, who had always been a self-possessed gentleman, look a little bit...
Can't hold it.
Zhang Yang jumped to Chen Shu's bedside with his hands behind his back and leaned against him, his clear eyes curved into crescent moons: "Brother Shu, do you know what I brought you today?"
Chen Shu came back to his senses from the shock and said with some embarrassment: "You really don't need to give me food, I have everything here..."
"What are you thinking about! I'm a big reporter from Dongzhou, and what I'm bringing you isn't small things like food and drinks. Hey, the gift I gave you is something that all the men in Dongzhou dream of. Do you want to take a guess?
"
It can't be you... Chen Shu didn't know why such an inappropriate idea suddenly popped into his mind. He quickly blinked his eyes and focused his attention on Zhang Yang again.m
Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously, and moved a little closer to Chen Shu. The unique fragrance of a mature woman on his body made Chen Shu, who could not avoid it, feel his heart fluttering slightly.
"Brother Shu, wasn't your previous nickname 'Desperate Saburo'? Now you have to change it." Zhang Yang whispered in Chen Shu's ear, and the breath exhaled from his small mouth touched Chen Shu's sensitive ear.
, there was also a hint of naughty joking in his tone.
After saying that, he took a step back and looked outside the room.
Zhang Yang's nearness and distance made Chen Shu, who almost fell, let out a long breath and followed her gaze towards the door.
The door was opened from the outside, and a large portrait that looked like an oil painting with frames on all sides was carried in from the outside.
The oil painting was very large, and people outside worked on it for a long time before slowly bringing it into the ward.
Chen Shu stared at the portrait and couldn't help but sit up straight.
In the painting with the road clearly in the background, a special police officer wearing a black training uniform has his hands wrapped around his chest, lying quietly on several quilts as if holding some treasure.
The face blackened by the fireworks was as firm as a sculpture, but the eyes he looked at the little boy in his arms were extremely soft, showing no regrets after being relieved. The other police officers and people standing nearby were all wiping their eyes.
, crying like a child.
"This is me? Why do I look like I'm dead?" Chen Shu pointed to his nose with his right hand and said in surprise.
"It's not over yet!"
Zhang Yang jumped up to the door and asked Xiao Zhao, who was holding the painting, to move a little further into the ward. Then he took it from outside the door and walked in holding a banner with red letters on a gold background.
There are only two big red letters on the pennant, as if they were cast with blood.
