On a rainy night, a thirteen-year-old boy is homeless. He was wearing a thin school uniform and carrying a worn school bag, shivering in the cold wind.

In the dark and silent city, where is his place? He wandered aimlessly through the deserted streets, feeling lonely and hopeless in his heart like never before.

Why is it that when adults make mistakes, it is always children who are hurt? Why are good people often hurt and bad people get away with it? Thinking of the bastard who had defiled his mother years ago, of the cruel and shameless man in his family, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and hated himself for being too weak.

If one day he could become tall and strong, he would spare no effort to punish all the sinners in this world. At that time, he never thought that he would become a police officer one day, and he felt that as long as he could get rid of those scum with his own hands, it would be a good choice to be a killer. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a cruel smile on his face, and he was inexplicably excited.

Just then, a white Santana sedan suddenly came into front of the deserted path. Because there was no sidewalk on the path, Zhong Xin walked almost in the middle of the road. He couldn't open his eyes for a while because of the bright headlights, and his legs couldn't move as if they had been spelled.

With the screeching sound of brakes, the white sedan bypassed his position and finally stopped on the side of the road a few dozen meters away. After the car stopped, the two men stepped out of the car in a panic. The driver who was running behind was wiping the rain from his face and nervously asked, "What's the situation?" Did you bump into it? ”

The man sitting in the co-pilot took the lead in front of Zhong Xin, looked up and down, and replied with relief: "The child is fine, dodge." ”

"Damn, I'm scared to death." The driver also let out a long sigh, and then showed a disgusted expression, "It's okay, let's go." ”

"Wait." The man in the passenger seat immediately refused, "Although we didn't hit anyone, we can't just leave, at least we have to send this child home." ”

"What do you say?" The driver of the car suddenly burst into flames, "This little rabbit cub wandered in the middle of the road in the middle of the night and almost killed us." It's a blessing for us that we didn't bump into him, if something really happens, I won't go to jail and I'll have to pay for it. ”

"You can't leave him alone. On this big night, it was unsafe for him to be outside with a child. ”

"I don't think he's a serious child, otherwise he wouldn't have come home so late?"

"That's even more problematic." The man in the passenger seat still felt uneasy, "Anyway, I have to hand this child into the hands of his parents in person." ”

"Okay, take care of yourself." The driver waved his hand impatiently and said, "My wife and children are still waiting for me to come home, and I don't have time to care about his business." ”

"I know, so you can drive home now, and I'll figure out the rest myself." The man in the co-pilot said resolutely.

"You ......" The driver glanced at his stubborn friend very helplessly and sighed, "I said Lao Sun, why don't you take this trouble on yourself?" In case the child's parents are unforgiving, I'll see what you do. ”

"It's my own business, you don't have to worry about it."

After the friend left, the man pulled the frightened Zhong Xin to a safer place on the side of the road. After a long time, Zhong Xin came back to his senses, blinked his eyes, and whispered to himself in disbelief: "Oh my God, I'm still alive......"

"Child, where do you live? I'll send you home. The man asked gently.

"Home?" Zhong Xin's eyes widened in horror, and he shook his head desperately and said, "I'm not going home, I don't have a home." ”

"Did you quarrel with your parents? Running away from home in a temper tantrum? The man still asked patiently.

"I don't have ...... parents"

"This ......" The man looked embarrassed, thinking that the child must have had a conflict with his family. Seeing that he is wearing a school uniform and carrying a school bag, he does not look like a gangster in society, even if he does not live with his parents, there must be other guardians around him.

After thinking for a while, the man asked tentatively: "Child, why don't I take you to the police station, how about you tell the police uncle about your own affairs?" ”

"I'm not going, I don't have anything to say."

"And what do you want to do?" The man looked at Zhong Xin with a soliciting gaze, and the latter lowered his head at a loss and was silent. He knew that the uncle in front of him wanted to help him, and he didn't mean to embarrass the other party, but he really didn't know what to do.

After a moment of stalemate, the man looked around at the dark and silent street, sighed, and said, "In this case, you go home with me first." When you've figured it out and want to speak, tell me who you are and why you ran away from home. I promise you, no matter what difficulties you have, I will help you, so it's always okay, right? ”

Zhong Xin did not answer, nor did he veto the proposal. The man smiled wryly and took the child's cold little hand. That was the first time Zhong Xin met Sun Guangzhong, but the ordinary rainy night changed his life.

Since then, Sun Guangzhong has visited Zhong Xin at school every once in a while with new clothes and school supplies.

Seeing Zhong Xin wearing new clothes and having pocket money in his hand, Zhong Qingsheng felt very puzzled. At first, he suspected Zhong Xin of stealing other people's money outside, but no matter how he pressed him, Zhong Xin didn't admit it, and never told him where the money came from.

After a long time, Zhong Qingsheng didn't bother to care anymore. Anyway, that kid didn't spend his money, what does it matter to him whether he stole it or robbed it.

In this way, the relationship between the two people, who are ostensibly father and son, gradually became estranged. Without quarrels and scolding, the two of them felt that life was a lot easier.

On his birthday at the age of fourteen, Zhong Xin received the first birthday gift in his life. It was a genuine Transformers model brought back from the United States by Sun Guangzhong, with fine workmanship and a lot of price. Zhong Xin liked it very much, but considering his own situation, he could only say to Sun Guangzhong regretfully: "This thing is too precious for me, I can't accept it." ”

Sun Guangzhong thought that Zhong Xin was being polite to him, so he smiled and said, "Silly boy, this is a gift from me, you don't have to think about the price." ”

Zhong Xin shook his head and explained: "If I bring this back, Zhong Qingsheng will definitely think that I stole it from the mall, and maybe he will smash it angrily." ”

"This ......" Sun Guangzhong scratched his head in embarrassment, blaming himself for not thinking it through. Zhong Xin hurriedly comforted him and said, "Uncle Sun, I have received your wishes, but I really can't bring this thing back." ”

Seeing Zhong Xin's embarrassed expression on his face, Sun Guangzhong could only reluctantly take back the gift. "Alright then, I'll keep it for you for the time being. Come to my house and get it whenever you want. ”

"That's fine." Zhong Xin smiled mischievously, not intending to be polite to the other party.

Perhaps after a period of contact, he has long been accustomed to accepting this man's kindness. It was the presence of this man that made him realize that he was no longer alone. It turns out that there will be people in this world who care about him, will remember his birthday, buy him gifts, and it turns out that his birth is not only a disaster, but also a blessing.

But how can there be such a good thing in the world? People say that there is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason. So why should this man be so nice to him?

Thinking of this, Zhong Xin's expression became serious. He tried to stop himself from thinking nonsense, but a very bad thought still came to his mind, it could be that this person was the ......

"Uncle Sun, why are you so good to me?" Thinking about it, Zhong Xin suddenly asked this impolite question.

Sun Guangzhong was stunned for a moment, and replied kindly: "Because I like children a lot." ”

"Don't you have any children yourself? I see that you are about the same age as Zhong Qingsheng, you should have been married a long time ago, right? ”

"I'm ......" Sun Guangzhong looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "I was married before, and then divorced." After a pause, he continued, "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, the reason why I'm divorced is because I can't have children. My wife wanted the baby so much that she had to leave me. ”

This answer instantly dispelled all of Zhong Xin's doubts. He looked at the gentle and smiling man in front of him in a daze, and suddenly felt that the world was really unfair. Obviously, some people like their children so much but can't be parents, while some people don't care about their children even though they are parents. If the two sides can exchange, the number of unfortunate families in this world will definitely be reduced much......

"So you like children, but you can't have your own children."

"yes." Sun Guangzhong sighed, "So I've been thinking about when I'm going to adopt one in the welfare home." ”

"But you don't need it now."

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because you have me now." Zhong Xin said and raised his smiling face, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Anyway, you don't have children, I don't have a father, the two of us can just get together as a family!"

In the spring of 1998, Zhong Qingsheng fell into the river and drowned due to drunkenness. Ironically, it happened to be his wedding anniversary, and it was also a day of humiliation and bitter hatred.

Since then, Zhong Xin has been completely freed from his gloomy life. With Sun Guangzhong's sponsorship, he successfully completed high school and college, and became a police officer as he wished. Although as he grew up, he had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet Sun Guangzhong, but he never forgot Sun Guangzhong's kindness. Even if there was no formal adoption process, he had already identified this elegant and gentle father in his heart.
