1. Death and rebirth
In this splendid auditorium, experts and scholars are full of celebrities, under the bright red banners, Cheng Jingrao stands behind the rostrum, smiling and accepting the attention, the speech she prepared in her hand is not a few pages, she has spoken many times on the self-contained theory of youth education, and has also achieved excellent results in the school pilot, which has been recognized by most scholars in the industry. She is enjoying the landmark moment of her life in this auditorium today.
Her speech had just begun, and her voice was full of emotion and focus, and she didn't realize the danger was coming, so when the glittering dagger suddenly stabbed at her, she was still talking about the increasing age of youth crime.
When a huge pain came from the pierced abdomen, Cheng Jingrao still couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. The noisy and panicked crowd around exploded like boiling oil dripping into a pot of clear water, and everyone shouted and ran in panic, Cheng Jingrao turned her head and instinctively looked at the murderer, and her eyes stared straight at the face that was half hidden in the black hood and covered by indifference, pleasure, murder and other complex expressions.
Seeing this face clearly, Cheng Jingrao's mind covered by great pain suddenly sobered up, the speech she was holding in her hand had been spilled all over the ground, one hand tightly covered the wound on her chest and abdomen, and the corners of her lips with pale lipstick overflowed with a self-deprecating wry smile, as the old saying goes, her son looks like his mother, and he doesn't deceive her, after more than ten years, the reunion of their mother and son is like this, which is sad and ridiculous.
Everything was relieved, Cheng Jingrao sighed in her heart, she was unwillingly closed, and fell into boundless darkness.
In the last trace of consciousness, Cheng Jingrao thought that she should go to hell!
But when she opened her eyes again, she was stung by the sunlight coming in from the window, which was more unbelievable than the stabbing she had been stabbed before, and she didn't dare to move for a long time, staring stiffly at the diamond-shaped ceiling above her head, hell...... Is it like this in hell?
"Miss Cheng, are you awake?"
In the environment where even the wind could be heard, the sound of someone suddenly speaking startled Cheng Jingrao subconsciously, and then in her sight, a young female face with a gentle smile was looking down at her from above her, if it weren't for the fact that this girl was wearing a signature nurse's hat, Cheng Jingrao would still be confused.
Cheng Jingrao frowned slightly, and only asked hoarsely after a while, "Is this ...... What kind of hospital is this? "Could it be that she's not dead? That stab missed? If it were true, that stinky boy would be disappointed!
"This is the First People's Hospital of Liuyuan City, you fainted when you were at home before, and the ambulance called by your father sent you here, you are still very weak and need to rest, I won't bother, please ring the bell if you have something!"
After the nurse explained, she adjusted the infusion flow by the way, and was about to leave.
Cheng Jingrao was shocked by what she said, struggled to almost get up from the bed, and the nurse who was still standing by the bed hurriedly supported her, "Miss Cheng, you can't move now, you need to lie down and infusion!" β
Where can Cheng Jingrao still be able to lie still, she has been hit by the big lightning thrown by the nurse Miss Tianlinggai, and the whole person is scorched, it is more difficult for her to accept than when she just opened her eyes and thought that she was in hell, her upper and lower lips trembled together, and she asked tremblingly: "You said that this is the First People's Hospital of Liuyuan City?" You say my father called an ambulance to take me over? "It's been three years since her father died, and it's been five years since she left Rugahara City, is it a turn back in time? Or is it to use the more popular saying that she was reborn after her death, and she was reborn back five years ago?
In the strange eyes of the nurse, Cheng Jingrao also received an affirmative answer, and she fell into the bed weakly, like a dehydrated fish drying up.
Cheng Jingrao thought that she would cry, but even she didn't expect that she just couldn't help but burst a foul 'TMD', and she couldn't lie down anymore.
Whether it was rebirth or going back in time, since God was extremely merciful and gave her a chance to start over, she should cherish it very muchβhow could she forget the stabbing pain of that knife that penetrated deep into her soul.
She slowly calmed down, trying to remember, she had gradually remembered what had happened to her in all the time she had been five years ago.
Five years ago today, she fainted precisely because she received a phone call from a correctional officer surnamed Chen in the juvenile detention center, mentioning that her son Jiang Minxiu had betrayed a year of re-education through labor for robbery and causing serious injury, and was sent to the juvenile detention center without a guardian.
At that time, it was the second year after she returned to China, and her father was recuperating from major surgery for lung cancer for three months, to be honest, she was fiercely conflicted and entangled for a while, and in her conscience she wanted to go to the juvenile detention center to see the child, but her father was resolutely opposed, and said many ugly things, and their father and daughter quarreled because of this incident, and in the end her father, who had undergone surgery and was weak, did not faint, but she fainted first. Then, her father, who rarely contacted her mother after the divorce, called her mother, who flew back from abroad in a hurry, and forcefully tried to take her away, just as she had just given birth when she was fifteen.
She resisted and disagreed, she hated that place abroad, hated her mother's home, her attitude made her father and mother not stand on the same front for many years The two-way attack began, she was miserable and made trouble for a while, but she was gradually persuaded by her parents, her brilliant life just started really can't tolerate the existence of a trace of stains, since the mistakes of less and more things have passed, why bother to face it again, she just pretends not to know can avoid the troubles that may harm her life, and a good future beckons to her, She abandoned her son for the second time so selfishly, but the discomfort in her heart couldn't be avoided after all, she almost got depression, and then Jin Zihuang made a special trip to take her to Hong Kong to recuperate for a period of time, until her father died suddenly, she never returned to Liuyuan City.
If she remembered correctly, it wouldn't be long before her father would come to see her and talk to her about Jiang Minxiu, she had to leave the hospital before that, and she would go to see Jiang Minxiu first, and even if she couldn't see Jiang Minxiu, she would have to meet the police officer surnamed Chen who called her.
Considering her physical condition, Cheng Jingrao made an appointment with Officer Chen, who had called her, to meet at a Starbucks on the corner of the First People's Hospital, so that she could save some effort.
After making the call, Cheng Jingrao pulled out the infusion needle on the back of her hand, and began to quickly turn around the ward with her still dizzy head, thinking that she only had the clothes and pants that she was sent to the hospital to wear, but she was surprised to find two sets of clean clothes in the closet, which should have been brought to her by her father when he packed up her hospital belongings. After a simple wash, Cheng Jingrao changed her hospital gown, changed her clothes, and sneaked out of the hospital.
Cheng Jingrao thought that her speed was already fast in her urgent mood, but she didn't expect that Officer Chen had already arrived when she arrived.
Although it was the first meeting in two lifetimes, this Officer Chen was still very recognizable, even if he had his back to Cheng Jingrao, Officer Chen's police uniform sat next to the floor-to-ceiling window, which was very conspicuous among the few guests at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Jingrao took a deep breath, she knew that taking this step meant that she could never turn back, no matter whether it was good or bad, she would have to take that child with her for a lifetime, and the mother-son relationship might be reunited, but it was more likely to repeat the ending of the previous life more deeply, or it might not be as happy as the previous life.
Xu was standing behind her for too long, and Officer Chen, who was sitting on her back, sensed something and turned around and stood up.
The moment the two looked at each other, they were both stunned.
Cheng Jingrao didn't expect that this Officer Chen would be so young, she looked like she had just walked out of college, at most twenty-four or five years old, and this Officer Chen probably thought the same about her.
"Hello, my name is Cheng Jingrao, I am Jiang Minxiu's mother, you are Officer Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Cheng Jingrao politely stretched out her hand, her hand was hanging in the air for a while before Officer Chen reacted, and hurriedly stretched out her hand over, "It's okay, it's okay, hello, my name is Chen Jingfei, and I'm in charge of Jiang Minxiu's discipline!" There was some nervousness in his tone.
After the two of them sat down, the waiter came over, and they only symbolically ordered a cup of coffee, the money was paid by Cheng Jingrao, and Chen Jingfei was rushing to pay, but Cheng Jingrao refused.
"Officer Chen has worked hard for the affairs of our mother and son, and it's too late for me to thank him, how can I ask Officer Chen to break the bank!"
Chen Jingfei didn't want to tear up with Cheng Jingrao in order to compete for the bill, and was a little shy and at a loss, so he only said sincerely: "You don't have to thank me, what I do is my own job." The young, energetic face smiled shyly.
Searching for the mother of a juvenile delinquent who has been missing for many years, there should be no such thing in the job of discipline - when she met Chen Jingfei, Cheng Jingrao felt that the prospect of taking her son back to the right path was quite bright.
Glancing at Chen Jingfei, who was inexplicably cramped after seeing herself, Cheng Jingrao felt that she had scared the young policeman, so she had to open her mouth first, "Jiang Minxiu was born when I was fifteen years old, and at that time, Korean dramas just entered China, so I gave this child the name Minxiu, and now, Cui Zhenzhen has committed suicide, thinking about it at that time, it was really a little bit more than anything else, I don't know what it feels like!" β
Cheng Jingrao started, and Chen Jingfei also returned to normal from the surprise of seeing Cheng Jingrao at the beginning, and said with a smile: "When I was in the juvenile detention center, when I first read Jiang Minxiu's name, I thought this name was quite special, it turned out to have a sense of the times!" β
Chen Jingfei kindly ignored Cheng Jingrao's previous mention of 'having a child at the age of fifteen', even if he had heard about it before, but when he actually saw Cheng Jingrao, he was even more shocked. Chen Jingfei couldn't help but glance at the woman sitting opposite who was as quiet as a flower, no matter how you look at it, you won't think that the other party is the mother of a fourteen-year-old boy, so don't portray the other party's template before you see a person, otherwise you don't know how big a fruit you will swallow, and you won't be able to close your mouth.
Cheng Jingrao didn't answer, looking at the cup of coffee in front of her with her long eyelashes hanging slightly, Chen Jingfei hooked the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, he also realized that he was cold, and at this time he mentioned a sense of the times, and hurriedly remedied: "Tomorrow is Thursday, which happens to be the visiting day of the juvenile detention center, your mother and son can meet first, and then go through the procedures for changing guardians according to the procedures." β
"Okay, thank you, Officer Chen," Cheng Jingrao, who came to see Chen Jingfei, was actually simply waiting for this sentence, she also wanted to see Jiang Minxiu as soon as possible, so as to start this life again.
