Chapter 13: The Invisible Shackles

Bai Xue was dumbfounded when she heard this, calculating the age difference between the two people, when Xiao Geyan was five or six years old, he was still a little doll who had just learned to walk, and it was estimated that this was also the reason, so there was such a big kidnapping case in the local area, and he didn't even have the slightest impression.

Just imagine, Xiao Geyan, who was only five or six years old at the time, had already experienced a ghost door in his life, and it was really impossible not to break out in a cold sweat.

"So...... Your grandfather is afraid that you will be in danger when dealing with crime?" Bai Xue suddenly felt that the old man had such considerations, which seemed to be a forgivable thing, "Then you ...... Does your desire to learn this, your desire to do this, have anything to do with that misfortune that happened to your parents?"

"Sort of. Xiao Geyan nodded, "Although I was young at the time, I couldn't think about many things so complicated, but I didn't have any memories at all. I remember very well that one of the kidnappers at that time was very kind to me, and when others didn't give me anything to eat, he would share his food with me, and when I was thirsty, he would bring me water to drink, and I didn't know where to get toys to tease me, but I was very scared at that time, and I was not in the mood to play. I remember him telling me that he had a son who was about the same age as me, and that the love in his eyes could not be deceived. But it was also this person who killed my parents with his own hands. ”

"So when I was older, when I think back to that person, I wonder why a person, a kidnapper, can show so much love and patience in the face of a child, and at the same time kill two innocent lives in order to extort money, I want to understand the inextricable connection between human nature and evil, so I chose such a subject. ”

After Xiao Geyan finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "I have never believed that studying crime is equivalent to becoming more likely to become the object of criminal harm, my parents have never been engaged in this kind of work before their deaths, so what happened? I understand the old man's worries and opposition, but I don't want to compromise easily, but the old man is getting older and older, and he is more and more insisting that I let go of everything I have now and go back to accept their arrangements, I can't do it." ”

"This is indeed quite difficult, the old man's starting point is for your good, but the actual effect is especially not, this is equivalent to turning family affection into an invisible shackle, which must make people feel uncomfortable," Bai Xue thought about it with some difficulty, "I have a bad idea, I don't know if you want to hear it." ”

"Tell me about it. Xiao Geyan nodded at her and motioned for her to continue.

"Since the old man thinks that their ideas are good for you and will make you live a better and happier life, it is better for you to pretend to compromise when you don't have to go to school during the winter and summer vacations, and then pretend to be pitiful, listless every day, and dangle in front of your grandfather like a frosty eggplant, as long as your acting skills are good enough, he will definitely not bear to see you depressed day by day, maybe he will compromise. ”

After Bai Xue finished speaking, she hurriedly added: "This is my experience, my mother also resolutely disagreed with me being a policeman, so I gave her a full wilt for three or four months, and she finally relented." In the final analysis, what kind of life is what you want, you must know in your heart that the decision is still in your hands, so don't start worrying before you try it!"

Xiao Geyan nodded, and looked at Bai Xue's barely eaten food: "Let's eat, it's going to be cold." ”

Bai Xue nodded, and continued to eat seriously, Xiao Geyan also concentrated on eating, although Bai Xue's advice to himself was not too practical, but he felt that his heart had been heavy for a while, as if he had suddenly relaxed a lot, and he didn't know if he was infected by her character that was easy to see his troubles, thinking about it, it seemed that it was indeed that truth, the decision was in his own hands, and he knew very well what kind of life he wanted, so making a decision was never a problem.

The only question is how to make the elderly in the family accept their choice as gently as possible.

After eating, Bai Xue took the initiative to contract the work of washing dishes, after all, Xiao Geyan kindly took him in and made such a delicious meal, Bai Xue was embarrassed to be shy and only responsible for eating.

Xiao Geyan was not polite to her, helped to take the dishes to the kitchen, put them in the sink, and waited for Bai Xue to clean and put them away, when he came out of the kitchen, he was already reading the book intently on the sofa in the living room, Bai Xue saw this scene when she walked to the kitchen door, her steps subconsciously slowed down, and secretly looked at Xiao Geyan's side face of reading the book seriously, she found that people said that the focus was the most charming, this is really true, when they investigated the case together, she also saw Xiao Geyan in many different states, but this kind of quiet holding a book and reading it attentively and seriously is the first time。

Bai Xue glanced at it, Xiao Geyan was holding an original book in her hand, standing far away, she could only see clearly that the cover was in foreign language, what was written, Bai Xue couldn't see clearly, and she also doubted that even if she saw it clearly, she would definitely be able to recognize what the name of the book meant.

Xiao Geyan's fingers were slender, his thumb pinched one side of the page, and the other four fingers were propped up on the cover and back cover of the book, his eyes were focused, his brows were slightly frowned, his lips were gently pursed, and it was probably for the need to read a book, he also put on a pair of rimless glasses, this small change softened his usually slightly arrogant aura, added a lot of bookish atmosphere, and seemed to be a lot gentler.

In the past, I despised those girls who kept saying that they were "face control" and "appearance association", and I felt that this statement was really superficial enough, but now I understand that when a person's appearance is outstanding to a certain extent, he can really enjoy it as a scenery and enjoy it.

Bai Xue secretly glanced a few more times, and saw that Xiao Geyan was reading carefully, so she tiptoed around him, ready to go back to the study to rest, she walked silently like a cat, and was about to go in when she arrived at the door......

"Good night. Xiao Geyan's voice came from behind.

Bai Xue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "Good night!"

Looking back, Xiao Geyan's sitting posture has not changed in the slightest.
