Chapter 53: Friends

Lu Ran decided to further determine Guo Xiaosi's definition of a friend, he remembered something, and asked: "You said that he is your friend, I want to ask, do you have any other friends in your life?"

"Friend......" Guo Xiaosi looked in his mind, "Chen Haonan, is my friend." ”

"Oh, it's him. When Lu Ran heard Chen Haonan's name, he remembered their cousin some time ago, they were really brothers.

At this time, Lu Ran temporarily put his bad impression of Chen Haonan in the back of his mind.

His attention was on Guo Xiaosi's so-called friends.

Facing the help-seeker with the most objective attitude is a professional habit that Lu Ran has penetrated into his heart.

"Do you have any other friends?"

"Nope. ”

Lu Ran didn't expect that his answer was no, and he answered so simply.

"I don't understand, are you saying you don't have any other friends?" Lu Ran asked again.

"I have classmates, I have relatives, but I don't have friends. Guo Xiaosi still answered very simply.

This made Lu Ran even more curious.

"Why aren't they friends?"

"A friend is a companion, and the one who accompanies me is a friend. Guo Xiaosi gave his own definition.

"Didn't they stay with you?"

"Hmm. They can't stay with me. ”

"Why? No way, does it mean that you can't do it?" Lu Ran seemed to understand some of Guo Xiaosi's living conditions.

"Yes. ”

"Why can't you do it?"

"They don't understand me. ”

"Does Chen Haonan know you?"

"Hmm. Guo Xiaosi nodded.

Lu Ran was surprised, what is different from others about a simple-minded boy like Chen Haonan, who can be the only person who understands Guo Xiaosi?

"What does he know about you that others don't?"

Lu Ran's question hit the nail on the head, and it made Guo Xiaosi fall into thought.

He thought for a moment, blinked his eyes, as if he had an answer in his mind, but he didn't know how to speak.

He ...... I've known me since I was a child. We have been neighbors since childhood. Guo Xiaosi said and stopped again.

"You have been friends since childhood?Then he must know a lot of things about you, and he knows you better than anyone else?" Lu Ran followed Guo Xiaosi's words and guided down.

"Yes. He knows a lot of things. Guo Xiaosi rubbed his hands together and replied.

Lu Ran saw the small movement in his hand, which revealed a certain entanglement in Guo Xiaosi's heart.

It's body language.

When talking to someone, pay attention not only to the meaning of their words, but also to their body movements.

This is what Lu Ran said to him when he first entered the blue ocean.

This is a basic skill, but to fully grasp and distinguish what each small action represents, and to expose the mentality of the person doing the action, that is another advanced science.

Now, Lu Ran has captured this key little action, and he decided to continue digging, "For example, is there anything that Chen Haonan knows and others don't know?"

"Yes, like, my home address, my mom, and, my dad. Guo Xiaosi gave an example.

"Would you like to talk to me?" Lu Ran probed.

"I—I don't want to say it. Guo Xiaosi lowered his head, and Lu Ran couldn't see his expression clearly.

"I don't want to talk about him. He said in fits and starts.

"Who? you don't want to say who? is it mom or dad?" Lu Ran asked guessingly.

"That man, the man you call Daddy. Guo Xiaosi said it.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's been taken away. Guo Xiaosi covered his face with his hands, and he used all his courage to say this.

"Taken away, by whom?"

"Police. The police came to our house at night and took him away. He's a liar, he's a criminal, he's lied to us!"

Guo Xiaosi began to roar, his voice trembling, as if his father was right in front of him, he blamed his father loudly, and shouted out the words he wanted to blame him.

"I was terrified, I was only eight years old, it was still night, I didn't know what was going on, why the men dragged him out of bed and grabbed him with cold handcuffs.

I know, he won't run, he's my dad, he lives with us, why, these people have to handcuff him.

Their strength is too great, I can't help him, I can't help him. ”

Guo Xiaosi told all the things that happened in his childhood at once, his feelings were very complicated, and he quickly vented to the outside, he blamed his father on the one hand, and felt sorry for his father on the other.

What Lu Ran heard from his words was the word helpless.

A young child is helpless in the face of a terrible thing that he can't afford yet.

"They said he had committed a crime, that the project he had set up, that the building under construction had collapsed, that he was greedy for money, that he had hidden it abroad.

He was a criminal, he left me and my mom alone, he made me lose all my friends.

Everyone looked at me strangely. I hate him, he's not my dad, I don't have a dad!"

Guo Xiaosi cried.

Lu Ran wanted to appease him.

"Chen Haonan is still your friend, right?"

Guo Xiaosi wiped his tears and nodded, "Yes." Chen Haonan, our two families, we used to be world friends, he knows about our family, and he is still willing to be my friend. That night he told me that he was there, don't be afraid. He's the only friend I'm having. ”

This Chen Haonan can be regarded as a good thing, Lu Ran thought to himself.

"Are you still scared now?"

"I don't know. I thought I wasn't afraid. However, since then, I have had strange dreams. ”

"These two things may be somehow related. Lu Ran felt that this was a breakthrough.

"Your father, what happened to you, can you tell me about it?"

"He's back. ”

"He's been released from prison?"

Guo Xiaosi nodded.

"So, can he stay with you?"

"I don't want him to accompany me. For so many years, I haven't had him with me, and I won't want to do it in the future!" Guo Xiaosi said of his father, and became excited again.

Lu Ran had no choice but to postpone this topic.

"Then let's talk about your dreams. Could the person you said you dreamed of be Chen Haonan? Because you said he was your only friend. ”

"Chen Haonan is the only friend I have in life. 'He' is my dream friend, they have completely different personalities, and I know very well that they are two people. Guo Xiaosi said with certainty.

Lu Ran's idea was denied, and he had no idea for a while, "Okay." You say, he grabbed your feet and you're afraid to see him again?"

"Yes. I was scared, I didn't dare close my eyes for a few days. I'm strict zhòng insomnia. Guo Xiaosi raised his head.

Lu Ran could see that his eyes were blue and the bags under his eyes deepened.

"How are you going to let me help you next?"

"I think, you teach me another hypnosis, you help me hypnotize a weapon out, I have to defend myself, I can't let him kill me!"
