Chapter X
Early in the morning of this day, Han Ding and Luo Jingjing arrived in Pingling by train together. This is the first time Luo Jingjing has returned to her hometown after leaving Pingling, and she can't help but feel a little excited. As soon as they came out of the train station, they went straight to the residence of Luo Jingjing's best classmate. Before they came out, they talked on the phone, and her classmate didn't go to work that day, so he was waiting for her at home.
When he arrived at Luo Jingjing's classmate, he put down his luggage, and Han Ding hurried out alone. He first went to the Pingling City People's Procuratorate to go through all the formalities that needed to be handled for Long Xiaoyu to serve as his defender, and then, with the consent of the procuratorate, he went through the relevant case files submitted by the Pingling City Public Security Bureau to the procuratorate for prosecution in relation to Long Xiaoyu's murder case, and these materials enabled him to have a better understanding of the entire case. From the report of the police's on-site investigation and investigation, he was able to know that the crime occurred in the middle of the night when it was dark and windy, and that it was not too late at night, and that most of the residents of Pingling had not gone to bed at that time. During the struggle with the victim, Long Xiaoyu hit the victim on the head with a wooden stick, stabbed the victim in the abdomen with a sharp knife, and stabbed the victim three times, causing the victim to die on the spot. Long Xiaoyu fled the scene after committing the murder. After close investigation, the police detained Long Xiaoyu on December 26, 1998, and escaped on the same day. The police pursued him in Beijing a year later, and this is what Han Ding saw a month ago at the Wukesong Oi Kwan Hotel.
It can also be seen from the case file materials that in the pre-trial of the public security organs, Long Xiaoyu refused to admit all the crimes he was charged with, and he only admitted that he had met Siping on the night of Siping's murder, but did not admit to killing Siping. When the public security organs were unable to obtain a confession, they found that the other evidence was sufficient, conclusive, and sufficient, so they transferred the case to the Pingling City People's Procuratorate for prosecution. The Pingling City People's Procuratorate examined the investigation process of the public security organs and all the evidence materials transferred, and found that the facts of Long Xiaoyu's murder case were clear and the evidence was sufficient, and decided to file a public prosecution with the Pingling City Intermediate People's Court, requesting that Long Xiaoyu be tried for intentional homicide.
After reading the case file materials, Han Ding had a clearer understanding of the significance of his trip. He clearly realized that what he had brought to Long Xiaoyu was not a chance to survive, but only a legal right for him to be defended. For Han Ding, it is not so much that he is here for Long Xiaoyu's rights, but that he is here for Luo Jingjing's entrustment. If it weren't for Luo Jingjing, he wouldn't have come all the way from Beijing to come here and walk through this scene in a serious manner.
Before leaving Beijing, Han Ding pulled Lao Lin out for a drink and consulted Lao Lin for his trip to Pingling. Lao Lin's drunken mantra taught two key points: first, carefully check every piece of evidence presented by the police, find out the details that are inconsistent or inconsistent or difficult to verify, and then attack one point, not the rest; Second, a careful study of the motive for the crime shows that although the question of motive cannot be a reason for acquittal, it may become proof that the defendant committed the crime because he had no choice but to do so, and that the resentment of the judge and the audience towards him can be alleviated. Lao Lin is indeed an oilman, in terms of lawyers' defense skills, the purpose of the crime is indeed often not regarded as the focus of the defense, the concept of the purpose of the crime in law, is the result that the criminal wants to achieve in the commission of the crime, and it is the goal pursued by the criminal, Long Xiaoyu's goal of committing the crime is already there, there is no need to argue, that is, to deprive the victim of his life. The forensic examination of Siping will become irreversible and irreversible evidence - after beating two sticks and stabbing three times, who would believe that the goal pursued by the criminal is not to kill but only to injure or to make a fuss? But what motive did Long Xiaoyu motive for killing? There's a lot to be done. The legal concept of the word motive is the inner cause of the crime, which can explain the subjective malice of the criminal. Chinese law has always opposed "objective imputation", and the conviction and sentencing of a person should not only be based on the results of his actions, but also on whether he has subjective malice. The degree of subjective malice is also an important basis for the court to decide the severity of the crime.
After analyzing and weighing, Han Ding and Lao Lin decided to choose Long Xiaoyu's criminal motive as the entrance and focus of the entire defense, which means that he chose the light crime for Long Xiaoyu instead of innocence. In fact, being a lawyer for such a case is an unlucky character in any case, a trick in the trial scene where the outcome is already known, and someone always has to say something for the defendant in this cutscene. Long Xiaoyu is mentally sound and educated, and exculpatory statements such as mental loss of control and ignorance of the law do not make sense, and the only thing that can be said is his previous conduct - a young man with a consistent record of conduct has done something stupid by chance and impulsively, and the people's court is requested to take it into account when sentencing...... But even so, it is an eternal principle of heaven to pay for life by killing, and Long Xiaoyu will inevitably be punished with death.
But the lawyer's task is done.
Han Ding can also make a "very sorry" gesture to Luo Jingjing.
He can explain to Luo Jingjing in a grand manner: "I have tried my best, but the facts are the basis, the law is the criterion, and the law is ruthless." β
Although there was such a tone in advance, after reading the materials at the procuratorate, Han Ding still responsibly called Lao Lin's classmate, Yao Dawei, who was the head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Pingling City Public Security Bureau, and asked him to come out for dinner at noon. Yao Dawei and Han Ding had a one-sided relationship, and Lao Lin had spoken to him on the phone beforehand, so he agreed very happily. Han Ding invited him to have a seafood meal at the most famous Golden Bay seafood restaurant in Pingling, and they talked very affectionately between cups. As a junior, Han Ding asked for advice, and said what he wanted to do when he came to Pingling, and asked Yao Dawei to see Lao Lin's face and help a lot. Yao Dawei is a great looking and loud Northeast man, and the thin Lao Lin is in contrast to the appearance, at a glance, he knows that he is a bold person, and he immediately expressed his attitude during the banquet: First, Han Ding is Lao Lin's subordinate, and if he needs help in Pingling, he is duty-bound; Second, although Long Xiaoyu's murder crime is not pardoned, Han Ding's defense of him as a lawyer is a legal right that a criminal suspect should enjoy. Although he was a police officer who investigated the Long Xiaoyu case, he expressed his understanding that Han Ding stood on the opposite side of the police and picked his nose and eyes at the evidence collected by the police. The public security, the procuratorate, and the lawyer are inherently different aspects of the same procedure, restricting each other, interdependent, each with its own mission and performing its own duties. Lawyers also have to eat, what do they eat if they don't go to court? So totally understood, totally understood. The only thing that puzzled Yao Dawei was: Long Xiaoyu and Luo Baochun are not of the same grade after all, he is so poor that he clangs, where did he get the money to hire a lawyer from Beijing?
In this regard, Han Ding explained: He is a new lawyer who has just graduated from college, and he wants to find a bigger case to practice. In order to improve the young lawyer's professional level and practical experience, they also supported him to take on this case for free, so it should be regarded as paying some tuition for him to train and study.
In front of Yao Dawei, of course he didn't say that he came to Pingling to accept this case entirely for his girlfriend Luo Jingjing.
He came for Luo Jingjing's love for Long Xiaoyu, and also for his love for Luo Jingjing, this is certain. What he can't be sure of is whether Luo Jingjing still has affection for him. Before Long Xiaoyu appeared between him and Luo Jingjing, how beautiful his life was with Luo Jingjing. And after Long Xiaoyu appeared, although Luo Jingjing still lived with Han Ding, Han Ding could indeed feel effortlessly and undoubtedly that Luo Jingjing's concern and concern for Long Xiaoyu was something he had never felt or received.
Yes, he and Luo Jingjing still live together as before, but they have never been intimate again. The night before he came to Pingling, Han Ding had made a request, but because Luo Jingjing was very reluctant, he didn't forget it. Although Luo Jingjing did not refuse, she was very reluctant, and Han Ding could see that it was completely different from the feeling that the two of them had done this before. Han Ding forced herself to think about the good - she didn't love him anymore, she was not in the mood, and she was still worried about Long Xiaoyu's affairs. But he thought again, love is exclusive, can a person's love heart take in two people at the same time? In theory, it seems that it can't, but in reality, are there any exceptions? For example, like Luo Jingjing is now. Han Ding didn't want to come to such a conclusion anyway, that is, Luo Jingjing didn't love him anymore. He thought, he and Luo Jingjing have lived together for so long, and they can be regarded as getting along, people are not plants and trees, so they won't forget it all so quickly, right? Since Luo Jingjing can never forget Long Xiaoyu's previous love, he will not categorically forget his future love, this truth seems to be impeccable.
The lives of the two do look the same as they used to be. Every day, Luo Jingjing still gets up early to buy breakfast for Han Ding; When Han Ding came home at night, he could still hear the sound of the pressure cooker in the kitchen. But the sound of the jet no longer seemed to be audible to the rhythm of the original cheerful jump, and sometimes it even looked like someone was sighing and sobbing rapidly. In addition to no **, the two of them were consciously or unconsciously polite to each other, and there were fewer and fewer heart-to-heart conversations, and they were all transactional topics when they opened their mouths, such as: Do you want to put chili peppers in the dish? You can save some more money, there are no drinks at home, go to bed early tonight...... It's boring.
After they arrived in Pingling, according to Han Ding's idea, they were to find a hotel to live in, anyway, those small hotels in Pingling were not so formal, and two people didn't have to check the marriage certificate if they lived together. But Luo Jingjing insisted on going to live with her classmates, and her tone was non-negotiable, so Han Ding followed her. After arriving at the same school, as Han Ding estimated, Luo Jingjing lived in her classmate's bedroom, and the two slept together, while Han Ding slept in another room by himself. Luo Jingjing only used the word "friend" when introducing Han Ding to her classmates, and she didn't even have a "male" word in front of it, let alone her fiancΓ© and the like, she didn't mention it at all, although she had promised to marry Han Ding. Her classmates have known Han Ding for a long time, know that he is a lawyer, and have come to Pingling to help Luo Jingjing's father in a lawsuit before, but this time she came to Pingling to help Luo Jingjing fight a lawsuit.
Han Ding only knew that Luo Jingjing's classmate was called Yaoyao before, but this time, after listening to Luo Jingjing's introduction, he learned that her name was Cheng Yao, three years older than Luo Jingjing, and she was twenty-four years old this year. is not so much a classmate as an alumnus, but his relationship with Luo Jingjing is better than that of his classmates. Han Ding could tell from the whispers between her and Luo Jingjing that she knew Long Xiaoyu and what the relationship between Long Xiaoyu and Luo Jingjing was. Luo Jingjing said that her relationship with Long Xiaoyu was hidden from everyone, even her father, but obviously, it did not include this person named Cheng Yao.
Han Ding came this time and found that Cheng Yao was the only one living in the house in the workers' new village, and her parents caught the last train of the unit's welfare housing and moved to a new building not far from the workers' new village. On the day Han Ding arrived in Pingling, he was busy going to the procuratorate to go through the formalities, read the case files, invited Yao Dawei to dinner at noon, and returned to Cheng Yao's house after dark in the evening. Cheng Yao and Luo Jingjing have already cooked the meal. The three of them had dinner together, chatted briefly, and talked about inconsequential topics. Cheng Yao is engaged in costume design, and Han Ding chatted with her about clothing. Luo Jingjing just listened to them and rarely interjected. After eating, she and Cheng Yao washed the dishes in the kitchen together, and Han Ding called Lao Lin on his mobile phone on the balcony to report the situation of going to the procuratorate to read the file. His phone barely showed up until it reached the balcony.
He told Lao Lin on the phone his thoughts after reading the papers, and also talked about talking to Yao Dawei at noon. The general opinion is that Long Xiaoyu must have killed Zhu Siping. The evidence collected by the public security organs is very comprehensive, and there are eyewitnesses who prove that Long Xiaoyu was at the scene of the crime at the time of the crime; There is an autopsy report that proves that Zhu Siping was raped by Long Xiaoyu before his death; There is also a report on the scene investigation, which records the traces left by Long Xiaoyu at the scene; There is also physical evidence: the handle of the shovel used to hit Zhu Siping's head. The shoe prints and fingerprints on the shovel handle are all clear. On Long Xiaoyu's clothes, there were traces of Siping's blood, and the clothes were hidden in Long Xiaoyu's dormitory, which was searched by the police after Long Xiaoyu escaped...... This physical evidence is enough to intimidate any defence lawyer and make any attempt to overturn the murder charges wishful thinking...... Lao Lin smiled on the phone: "Didn't I even kill Dinglong Xiaoyu for nine lifetimes, I won't be able to give birth to a life." Yao Dawei, I understand, that kid is a very capable person, and the cases he handles generally can't make big mistakes. Han Ding said: "It seems that we have to find some ruts in the reason for Long Xiaoyu's crime according to what we originally said, and see what a good young man suddenly used the knife for, if it wasn't legal blindness, it wasn't mentally stimulated, then what was it for?" If you can really find a cause that can be sympathized, ask the court to consider it when sentencing, and then it will be fine. But no matter how much you argue about this crime, you can't kill people without paying for your life. Lao Lin said yes, he can only argue like this, and if he doesn't argue like this, there is nothing else to argue.
After talking to Lao Lin on the phone, Han Ding felt much more at ease. Lao Lin also said something on the phone, which unloaded a lot of mental baggage for Han Ding: He said Han Ding, you have to think like this, it is a good thing for you that the evidence on the public security side is sufficient, otherwise how much responsibility do you have to bear in front of Luo Jingjing if you don't succeed? This kind of case is a sure case, don't say that we are just a lawyer, even if we are judges, even if this case is personally presided over by you, Han Ding, we have to follow the law against Long Xiaoyu, there is no other way out!
Han Ding was stunned for a while before he understood the mystery of these words, couldn't help laughing, and said: "No, it's easy for me to handle the prosecution if it's too strong or too weak, I'm afraid that there will be a fight." β
Lao Lin also asked Yao Dawei about his reaction on the phone, and asked Yao Dawei if he could help. After asking, he volunteered and took the initiative to say: "I want to go to Shanghai in a day or two, and I can come down and stay for a day when the train passes through Pingling, and then help you have a relationship with Yao Davilala, Yao Dawei can still do something in Pingling." "Han Ding said it's okay for you to come here, otherwise, I will suffocate to death.
After making the call, Han Ding returned to the living room, saw Luo Jingjing's face was not good, and asked her what was wrong, but Luo Jingjing didn't answer, but asked who he was calling. Han Ding said to Lao Lin, Lao Lin will pass by Pingling when he goes to Shanghai in a day or two, and he will come to help me study this case. Luo Jingjing wanted to say something, Cheng Yao came out of the kitchen, entered the living room, beckoned them to eat fruit, and the conversation between the two had to be stopped.
They went to bed early that night, and after eating the fruit and watching TV for a while, Luo Jingjing said that she wouldn't watch it, got up and went into the bedroom. Cheng Yao also followed into the bedroom. Han Ding watched the evening news in the living room alone and fell asleep. The next morning, Han Ding and Yao Dawei spoke on the phone. Yao Dawei had something to do in the morning, so he made an appointment to personally take Han Ding to the detention center to meet Long Xiaoyu in the afternoon, and introduced him to the head of the detention center by the way.
It's okay in the morning, Cheng Yao went to work. Han Ding was cold on the phone on the balcony last night, and he originally planned to take a hot bath to drive away the cold on his body, but because Luo Jingjing proposed to go to the Yellow Crane Lake Cemetery to sweep his father's grave, he needed Han Ding to go with him, so the hot water was half boiled and finally not washed. They took a taxi and drove out of the city, and Han Ding still has memories of the road to Yellow Crane Lake. Last year, when the harsh winter was coming to an end, he and Lao Lin followed Director Wang along the bare road around the lake to visit Luo Baochun, then as now, although the lake was not frozen, it was also frozen into a pool of stagnant water, and now the scenery is still the same, but the Director Wang has never been heard from again.
The Yellow Crane Lake Cemetery is behind the mountain that moved to the peak, although there is no view of the lake backwater, but there is a tranquility between the mountains and the world. Of course, Luo Baochun would not have thought that his small cemetery, which he enjoyed at this time, was his daughter, who he thought had inherited his family fortune, and bought it for him with the little money he got after selling all his personal belongings. The money left over after his daughter bought the cemetery and buried him was probably just enough to buy a train ticket to leave Pingling. Luo Jingjing borrowed 500 yuan from Cheng Yao before leaving, and later Han Ding and Luo Jingjing went to the post office to send Cheng Yao back the money.
Qingming has not arrived, and the cemetery is quiet. Han Ding followed Luo Jingjing to find Luo Baochun's tomb, the tombstone is very small, the location is average, there is no epitaph, only a line of "Tomb of Loving Father Luo Baochun" seven words. This is the first time Luo Jingjing has returned to her hometown to sweep the grave after her father's burial, and she will inevitably shed a few tears. Han Ding helped her put the flowers she bought at the entrance of the cemetery in front of the tomb, and bowed with her again and again, mourning like a ritual. Then, they left Luo Baochun's tomb and walked back along the narrow path of the silent and uninhabited pine wall, and on the way, Luo Jingjing suddenly asked:
"Han Ding, are you going to see Long Xiaoyu in the afternoon?"
Han Ding said, "yes, what's wrong? β
Luo Jingjing didn't stop and said, "Are you going to ...... How to defend him? β
Han Ding thought about it for a while, and decided that it would be better not to talk to Luo Jingjing in too much detail. Luo Jingjing doesn't understand the law, and if she talks to her too carefully, she will have a lot of problems and many propositions, and if she can't explain it clearly, it will be troublesome if she doesn't accept her.
So Han Ding replied: "I can only improvise, I read the case file yesterday, and judging from those materials, his case is still quite tricky......
Luo Jingjing asked: "What do you say about the materials?" Yesterday in front of Cheng Yao, I didn't ask. Han Ding said: "I mainly looked at the evidence provided by the public security organs, and from that evidence, I am afraid that it is difficult to overturn Long Xiaoyu's murder charge." β
"What's the evidence?"
Han Ding paused, he couldn't bear to go through the bloody records in the case file; He couldn't bear to tell Luo Jingjing how cruel the person she loved in the past was; He couldn't bear to tell her that Long Xiaoyu had ** her before killing Zhu Siping; He couldn't bear to see Luo Jingjing's heartbroken expression after hearing the truth; He couldn't bear to tell the truth out of his mouth that she should have known a long time ago. So, he had to pause before answering in general terms: "Fingerprints, footprints, and other traces, as well as eyewitness testimony...... There's a lot of evidence anyway. This evidence is legally valid and must be admissible once it is sent to court. And on our side, at least so far, there is not a single piece of evidence that he did not kill, not a single one. Unless when I go to see Long Xiaoyu this afternoon, he can provide me with such evidence. β
Luo Jingjing's footsteps slowed down and stopped. She didn't look at Han Ding, but only at the orderly tombstones around her, which were enjoying the warm days of winter, looking comfortable and serene.
Luo Jingjing asked: "According to what you say, is he hopeless?" β
Han Ding said: "Jingjing, although it is not the time to draw conclusions, I will do my best to fight for it, but you also have to be mentally prepared, this matter is originally a dead horse as a live horse doctor." β
Luo Jingjing raised her head and fell on Han Ding's face, her suspicion was brought out in her eyes, and she said in a stiff voice: "Han Ding, I know, you didn't want to defend him well, you didn't want him to live!" You've already made up your mind, he's guilty! He must pay for Zhu Siping's life, you defend him just to study why he went to kill, you already knew that you wouldn't even hit him when you argued that the court sentenced him to death, you already knew! β
Han Ding didn't expect Luo Jingjing to suddenly get excited, and he would suddenly make such an accusation with a straight face. This accusation made him wonder whether he was really angry or subconsciously made an angry gesture, and he retorted in an unhappy tone:
"How can you say that, do you think that I came all the way to Pingling with you just to study why he killed people? What does it matter to me whether he kills or not, and why am I interested in studying this? I'm here for you, and I've promised you that I'm going to do my best, I'm going to try for the best. I went to the procuratorate as soon as I got off the train yesterday, and I invited someone from the Public Security Bureau to dinner at noon, and I called Lao Lin last night to ask for advice, and I discussed with him what to do next......
Luo Jingjing suddenly cried, and she interrupted him crying: "I heard everything, I heard how you discussed." You told Lao Lin that the Public Security Bureau is very powerful and will not make mistakes, and you also said that he can't kill people without paying for his life, I heard it. This is what you have prescribed, and it was predetermined before you came! β
Only then did Han Ding know that when he and Lao Lin were on the phone last night, they ignored the broken walls of the workers' new village, and the thin doors and windows leaked, so that Luo Jingjing listened to the wall almost word for word. He was stunned for a long time before he said angrily: "Since you don't trust me so much, then okay, I'll quit, I'm not his lawyer anymore, you can ask another Gao Ming." I already knew that if anyone was to argue, Long Xiaoyu would be cut by a thousand cuts, and you wouldn't have anything to say. As long as I argue, no matter how hard I try, you will still blame me. In that case, why don't you let me avoid suspicion? Some lawyers are, if you don't want to use the court's appointment, I can pay to hire one for you, and you can go back to Beijing here. β
Since the last time Han Ding and Luo Jingjing quarreled, he had vowed not to yell at her again, but this time he couldn't help but shout again. He thought that he would not be guilty of this foreign crime in the first place, and to fight this lawsuit for his rival who would definitely not win, and would definitely not please both sides. His face turned red with the shouting, and he knew that his voice was out of control after he finished shouting, but he had already shouted. He wanted to say sorry, but he didn't say it for the sake of face. He knew that Luo Jingjing couldn't stand him like this, she really turned around and ran away in tears, Han Ding didn't chase her, and only moved her steps after watching her run away, and slowly walked out of the cemetery alone. Standing at the door of the cemetery and looking around, he couldn't see Luo Jingjing's figure for a long time, he took a bus back to the city on the side of the road, and didn't return to Cheng Yao's house until noon.
Cheng Yao also came back, she came out and opened the door for him after Han Ding knocked on the door, and after entering the door, Han Ding asked her, "Is Jingjing back?" She pointed to the bedroom, then made a gesture to call Han Ding to the kitchen, and asked quietly, "Tell me the truth, Xiao Han, do you really like Jingjing?" Han Ding said, "I like it." Cheng Yao said: "Do you know her past?" Do you know the experience between her and Long Xiaoyu? β
Han Ding was silent, not knowing how to answer, whether to say he understood or not to understand. He was silent for a moment and shook his head.
Cheng Yao sighed and said, "Jingjing and that kid love too much, they love each other so much that when they came to life, the kid suddenly left a note and ran away." Jingjing was stimulated, and caught up with her father who died at that time, and you know the situation at that time. I chatted with Jingjing all night yesterday, and Jingjing knew that you were good to her, and she wanted to be good to you. Jingjing, this child, I know, is very affectionate to people, if she wants to say good to you, she will definitely be good to you. But for some reason, Long Xiaoyu found her again, and she was in a mess all of a sudden. She couldn't forget the part between her and Long Xiaoyu, that part was their first love after all. Oh, Long Xiaoyu has been with other girls before, but he is the first boy Luo Jingjing fell in love with, and Jingjing can't pull it out. I have seen Long Xiaoyu's child, he doesn't look as polite as you, but he is also a young man who is clear and beautiful, he has gone to college and worked as a coolie in society, his temperament and body are generally liked by girls. When Luo Jingjing brought him to my house for the first time, I could see that she was obsessed with him. After all, Long Xiaoyu has been beaten in society, and he is very scheming about what to say and what not to say, he and Jingjing don't talk much together, but I can also see that he is a person who knows what to do. He's really nice to Jingjing, too. Jingjing still can't forget him, I quite understand. Can you understand? β
Cheng Yao asked Han Ding rhetorically, of course Han Ding could understand, but he couldn't be happy, this matter was not a question of whether he could understand it or not. He really wanted to ask Cheng Yao, and also asked Jingjing: "Can you understand me?" I just love a girl, I did what I should do for her, but she doesn't forget her old love, she still wants to eat back grass, and she wants me to show understanding, who did I recruit and provoke whom? Cheng Yao immediately saw the unhappiness in Han Ding's heart, and her attitude became more serious:
"Han Ding, if you want to really love Jingjing, you have to tolerate her. You have to know that she is younger than you, she is not as educated as you, and she is a woman, and the ability of girls to control their feelings is worse than that of men. Women are more emotional than men, men are more rational than women, this is the difference between men and women, everyone is like this, so you have to tolerate her, you have to let her. β
Since Cheng Yao said this, Han Ding could only be speechless.
Seeing that Han Ding's expression calmed down, Cheng Yao showed a reassuring smile and said, "You can persuade her well later, and say something to comfort her, she needs these now." It's okay for you to go out to eat at noon, it's okay to heat leftovers at home, don't you still want to see Long Xiaoyu in the afternoon, leave early, don't delay. β
Han Ding nodded, smiling gratefully at Cheng Yao's bitter words, and he asked, "Aren't you eating at home at noon?" β
Cheng Yao shook her head and walked out of the kitchen and said, "I'm here to pick up something, and I have someone to treat at noon." β
Cheng Yao looked at him and pouted towards the bedroom, and then left in a hurry. Han Ding went back to the room where he slept first and took off his coat. He thought that Cheng Yao's words were right, and Cheng Yao's words calmed down his anger and grievances in a calm manner. He calmly looked at himself and asked himself: "Do you love Luo Jingjing?" Can you stand it without her? After calming down, he only needed a second to answer himself: "I love her, I really love her, I really can't live without her, and I will be sad to leave her." So, he should help her, she is still a little girl, she doesn't want to see the person she loves die, she wants the life she once loved to continue to live in the same world and under the same blue sky as her, even if this person will stay in an isolated prison for the rest of her life, her heart will not be so traumatized...... This is a girl's heart. Cheng Yao is right, if you really love this girl, you have to tolerate her.
Han Ding opened the door and wanted to go to Luo Jingjing's house. When he opened the door, he heard the sound of Luo Jingjing cooking in the kitchen. Cooking in the kitchen has always been a way for him and Luo Jingjing to reconcile with each other after a quarrel. He listened to the sound of the pressure cooker jumping and spurting, and the encouragement and warmth in his heart came spontaneously. At noon, in addition to yesterday's leftovers, they also ate a plate of shrimp newly fried by Luo Jingjing. The nutrition of shrimp is the most nourishing for the brain, Luo Jingjing has said it before. When they were eating, Luo Jingjing boiled two large pots of boiling water on the gas, and poured them into the bathtub to bathe Han Ding after the meal. Han Ding said that it was too late, and she said that you should soak for a while. Han Ding soaked in the hot water, and the tense muscles and bones of his whole body stretched a lot. Luo Jingjing walked into the bathroom lightly, sat down quietly on the edge of the bathtub, applied some hair liquid on his head, and then slowly rubbed it open, her thin fingers slowly passed through Han Ding's hair bush, and gently scratched Han Ding's hair roots with the girl's fragile nails...... Han Ding closed his eyes, and there was silence between them except for the fluctuations of the water.
