Chapter 22: The Secret (3)

"Hey, I'm off work, I'll pick you up now, you'll be downstairs in about ten minutes." As soon as Xiao Rongzheng got off work, he couldn't wait to dial Cheng Han's phone.

"Well, I ate too much at noon and had some indigestion. Why don't you come to my house to eat, my dad made meat buns. Cheng Han was on the other end of the phone, rubbing his still slightly swollen belly. It's been a long time since I've eaten at home, and before I know it, I've eaten so much.

"Then if you have anything to do, I'll buy you some stomach and diet tablets." Although we couldn't go out to eat together at night, Xiao Rongzheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard that he could go to Han's house. But after thinking about it, this is to meet Cheng Han's parents, so I am a little more nervous.

Then he asked, "Shall I bring something for your parents?" What do uncles and aunts usually like? You say, it's quite sudden, and you can't even prepare for it. ”

Cheng Han felt that something was getting more and more wrong when he heard this, so he hurriedly interrupted him, "Stop, Officer Xiao, don't be nervous, my parents went out to watch a movie, you just help me buy a diet pill." ”

"Oh, that's it. Then you wait. Listening to Cheng Han's words, he seemed to be able to imagine how helpless Cheng Han was on the other end of the phone, and he seemed to be a little too impatient. However, for her, no matter what she looks like, it doesn't seem to be.

Cheng Han, on his side, hung up the phone and walked around the living room, trying to digest the two meat buns, two bowls of rice, and two bowls of corn rib soup at noon. Later, he probably felt that this amount of exercise was not enough, so he casually put on a piece of clothing, stepped on a pair of sneakers, and ran downstairs a few laps to wait for Xiao Rongzheng.

So, when Xiao Rongzheng drove downstairs, he saw Cheng Han casually tie his hair into a braided back of his head, a pair of white flat shoes, and some fat sportswear, like a high school student who has not been deeply involved in the world. However, she kept her head down and walked back and forth under the streetlight, not noticing that he had come.

"Drip", he pressed the horn with some evil taste, startling Cheng Han. When he raised his head, he was already a little displeased, but when he saw that it was him, he eased up a lot.

"You're here! Park your car and come up with me. What about the medicine you bought me? Cheng Han leaned on the window and stretched out her hand inside, with a look of relaxation that she hadn't noticed.

"No, give." Xiao Rongzheng looked at the little hand stretched out, and pretended to touch it inadvertently when he handed over the medicine. Although he was glared at by Cheng Han with disgust, he was like a cat stealing fishy, and his eyes were almost gone. Cheng Han hurriedly sent two pieces in his mouth, and chewed them after dividing them by two.

Xiao Rongzheng parked the car and got down, and saw her squeaking and chewing diet tablets here, and asked a little funny, "How much did we Dr. Cheng eat, why didn't you eat dinner?" ”

Cheng Han was a little embarrassed by his question, and he didn't have a follow-up for a long time. Xiao Rongzheng didn't embarrass her anymore, stepped forward and walked side by side with her into the corridor.

"Aren't you curious about what happened to that man today?"

He didn't mention it, Cheng Han almost forgot about it, "What's the ending?" ”

"After some questioning, the man was a repeat offender. He often attacks some single young women in the public car. Because I think that ordinary girls will swallow their anger and dare not speak up, they have been letting his hand go. I thought I would have met you today. ”

He suddenly stopped talking, Cheng Han looked at him with some curiosity and asked, "What's wrong with running into me?" ”

"Of course, he was brought to justice and detained for five days." Xiao Rongzheng looked at Cheng Han's innocent face, and when he thought of the man's swollen fingers like turnips, he wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that Cheng Han would be angry, so he could only hold back.

Cheng Han nodded, "This can be regarded as a lesson for him." You don't know, when I saw Lao Xie's face in the morning, I thought about it. What a shame! ”

"What's this, it's a shame! You are claiming justice and eliminating harm for the people. You are also a person who has experienced the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, and if you want to be embarrassed, you are also a shame for the lewd man, how can you be a victim. ”

"Do you really think so? Don't you think that a girl is being bullied, and she is not good in herself? Cheng Han stopped and looked at Xiao Rongzheng intently.

Xiao Rongzheng was so angry by her question that he stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch her cheek, but he was reluctant, so he kneaded her tied hair as if he was deliberate.

"Are you worried about this this morning? I'm such a person in your eyes, right? ”

He slowly leaned towards Cheng Han, Cheng Han subconsciously wanted to hide, but he was taken into his arms and couldn't move. He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

"Girls have the right to wear all kinds of beautiful clothes, and that doesn't justify bad people doing evil. Isn't our existence so that girls can wear their favorite clothes with peace of mind? What we want to condemn is the person who has done something bad, why should we blame the victim.

I only care if you get hurt or not, and I don't care about anything else. As long as you're good, you'll be fine. ”

Cheng Han looked at him, and she saw herself in Xiao Rongzheng's bright eyes. She smiled and stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to hug Xiao Rongzheng's neck, "Thank you!" ”

Cheng Han took the freshly baked cake out of the pot, then picked up the knife, cut the large pieces of meat into small pieces on the cutting board, and then chopped them with the green peppers. The hot cake is paired with fat and thin meat foam, Xiao Rongzheng is addicted after eating.

He finished solving the third meat sandwich bun and drank a big sip of water, "Huh~ Cheng Han, your father's skills are too good!" It's much better than the breakfast stall outside. ”

"That's not it", Cheng Han raised his eyebrows proudly, "If it's not delicious, can I eat too much at noon!" You can eat well, otherwise, I'm afraid that the hospitality will not be good. Cheng Han took his water cup and helped him fill it up.

"It's all understandable! After all, there's no food anywhere like at home. My dad cooks at home, and although he cooks simple home-cooked food, it is delicious in my memory. ”

"Haha, I thought you were going to laugh at me!"

Xiao Rongzheng looked at her, maybe it was because she was a little embarrassed, Cheng Han's face was always red, like a slightly drunk feeling after drinking.

He said softly, "How come, but you still have to pay attention to it in the future, after all, it will still hurt your body." ”

"Oh, I know, don't you take it as an example!"

"Okay", Xiao Rongzheng stood up, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, and said to Cheng Han, "Thank you for your hospitality, I'm full of food and drink, let's withdraw first." Save a while, your parents come home, and there is another misunderstanding. ”

Cheng Han hurriedly ran to the entrance and wanted to send him downstairs. As soon as the door opened, I saw Cheng Guanhai and his wife standing outside the door, still holding the key in their hands. The four of them looked at each other, and even the air was quiet.

"Mom and Dad, this is Xiao Rongzheng of the criminal police team, Captain Xiao, my colleague." Cheng Han helped his parents open the door, took the slippers, turned around, and hid Xiao Rongzheng behind him, trying to use his height of 1.6 meters to cover up the big man behind him.

Cheng Guanhai came into the room first, looked Xiao Rongzheng up and down carefully, and then nodded, "Well, Officer Xiao, long time no see." ”

"You guys, acquaintance?" Cheng Han looked at his father in surprise.

Cheng Guanhai glanced at his daughter, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Officer Xiao participated in Axu's case back then. ”

"Yes, I was involved in the case of Cheng Xu, and I met your parents a few times." When she said this, Xiao Rongzheng kept paying attention to Cheng Han's expression, for fear that she would be a little displeased.

As a result, she acted like she was fine, "yes, that's a coincidence." That, Mom and Dad, he suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with the police force, and he had to go back in a hurry, so I went to see him off. ”

Saying that, she let her parents into the house, stepped on her shoes, and didn't bother to lift them up, so she pulled Xiao Rongzheng and walked out. All the way downstairs, although she was standing beside Xiao Rongzheng, she was expressionless and didn't say a word. Until Xiao Rongzheng was sent to the door of the community, there was silence between the two.

"Well, I'll drive you to school tomorrow. Let's stop making buses, save some time. Seeing that he was about to be sent to the bus station, Xiao Rongzheng opened his mouth and broke the silence.

Cheng Han didn't answer him immediately, just looked at him for a while, and said, "Are you so curious, why didn't you see me during the handling of my brother's case?" ”

She asked Xiao Rongzheng's curiosity, but Xiao Rongzheng could have a hunch that if he answered incorrectly at this moment, the relationship between the two of them would stop.

"Cheng Han, I'm not interested in the past, and I don't want to know. What I like is you as a person, so that includes everything you have. If you really have any bad experiences in the past years, I don't care. You don't want to use this as an excuse to unilaterally give up our relationship like this, don't even think about it! ”

His determined appearance made Cheng Han speechless for a while, and he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Rongzheng reached out and pinched Cheng Han's soft face, as if taking revenge, pinching the flesh of her cheek, causing her mouth to pout like a little kingfisher in the cartoon.

"Since I said I didn't care about your baggage, I really don't care. If you ask these questions in a hurry, you're wasting our time. Alright, let's get it here. Remember, I'll drive you to pick you up from work tomorrow. ”

After saying these words, Xiao Rongzheng took advantage of Cheng Han's failure to react, gently bit the flesh on her cheek, and then spread his hand, and ran towards the station as if flying.

Cheng Han covered her face and looked at the bus that was gradually moving away, but there was a smile on her face that she didn't even notice. A gust of wind blew, taking away the yellowing leaves from the street trees. People who are in a hurry on the road, come and go. In this bleak season, it seems that it is quite good to have such a person by your side.

Cheng Han pushed open the door and saw his parents sitting on the sofa, watching TV. If it weren't for the slightly fluttering ears that betrayed them, it would have been quite like this.

"Oh, Hanhan is back so soon?" Cheng Guanhai seemed to have just seen Cheng Han.

Lu Wenjin echoed on the side, "Yes, it's so late, and it's not easy to take a taxi, how can you let Officer Xiaoxiao take the car back by himself!" ”

"It's okay, he's a big man, whatever." Cheng Han poured himself a glass of water and wanted to go into the room.

Lu Wenjin asked tentatively, "You two, you didn't quarrel, did you?" ”

Cheng Han was confused, "Why are we arguing?" ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good. We are also afraid that if you colleagues don't get along well, it will be awkward to cooperate in the future. Lu Wenjin patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, Mom and Dad, it's okay, I'll go back to my room first, I still have a paper to write."

"Okay, let's go, let's go."

Cheng Han walked into his room with a water glass, and the old couple sitting on the sofa looked at each other with red eyes. Cheng Guanhai stretched out his hand to help his wife wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed.

"I really don't know, this Officer Xiao can help our family Hanhan come out. Alas, in this way, I think of that kid Ahxu, and I don't know if it's cold, is he okay over there? ”

"Why don't we go see him tomorrow, and bring something delicious by the way. Ah Xu, this kid, likes to eat pineapple cake at the entrance of their school. Let's remember to buy him some, if he can't eat it, he should be sad. ”

As they spoke, the old couple hugged each other, and tears flowed down their eyes. Some wounds, although they seem to be intact on the surface, as long as they touch it lightly, they will immediately collapse, and the blood will flow like an infusion in an instant.

Cheng Han returned to the room, closed the door, leaned on the door for a while, and then found a half-eaten small white pill in the drawer of the bedside table, put two in his mouth, and swallowed it raw without water. And the pill box said, paroxetine hydrochloride tablets.

Swallowing the pill, Cheng Han slowly stood up after a while, walked to the desk, and turned on the computer. But her mind is very messy now, and even if she opens the literature, she can't read a word.

At this time, her eyes were drawn to a pink notebook on the bookshelf. It was Cheng Xu's diary, and it was Cheng Han who went to school to help him take it home. However, at that time, she did not have the courage to go to the warm room, so she stayed in her room. For so many years, this notebook has been quietly erected here, hiding the secrets inside.

Cheng Han stood up like a god and reached out to take the notebook. The pink plastic cover was printed with a little rabbit in a beautiful little dress, and she remembered that this animated image seemed to be all the rage among elementary school students, and Cheng Xu also bought a lot of stickers of this rabbit at that time.

Flipping open the cover, a diary full of boys' thoughts was presented in front of Cheng Han.

March 20, fine

Today, the math teacher called me a sissy in front of the whole class, just because all my stationery was pink. Isn't pink pretty? There is also no one who says that boys can't use pink.

Because the math teacher started up, there were some naΓ―ve boys around me during recess who called me a sissy. Actually, I pity them a lot, thinking that I can please the teacher in this way.

It's all a bunch of little kids!

April 1, light rain

It's April Fool's Day, and those kids are starting to play their pranks in a festive way. Since I never went to the toilet at school, they locked me in the women's toilet and didn't know what was going on until the teacher couldn't find me in class. Luckily, it was the women's bathroom, but if they locked me in the men's bathroom, I would have cried.

Mom and Dad found the school, but the teachers didn't care as always, repeating the words "It's just a joke between children". Later, this matter will be closed.

April 30, overcast

Today, my parents are not at home, so I put on a Lolita dress that I bought with my New Year's money and go out to the bookstore. As a result, I met the group of boys in the school on the way. They saw me as if they had seen a ghost, and they screamed exaggerated for a long time.

I knew they were calling me a dress, but I thought it looked good, at least much better than the gray school uniform. I didn't pay attention to them, bought something and left.

When you get home, hide your little skirt so that your parents don't know. Otherwise, they will have to worry.

May 15, heavy rain

Today, I went to the library and looked up a lot of information, and finally found out what kind of person I am. To put it simply, I felt like a little girl in my heart. Originally, I was worried that I was the only one who was different from others. Now I know that there are so many people like me in the world.

Great, I don't have to read any counseling books anymore, I'm a normal person, everything is decided from birth.

It turns out that I'm not sick, it's good.

June 1st, fine

Today is Children's Day, and my sister bought me a lot of gifts. In fact, several times, I wanted to tell my sister about it. Because, she is the gentlest and most enlightened person in the world. If I tell my sister first, then she will definitely help me find a way to tell my parents in the right way.

However, my sister seems to be very busy. The dark circles under the eyes are about to cover half of the face, this is how long it has been a long time since I rested. Forget it, I'm not in a hurry. Let her concentrate on her work first, but don't distract her.

Sister, come on.

There are still a lot of them behind the diary, but Cheng Han can't cry anymore when he sees this. She sat on the floor, curled up in a ball. She never thought that her younger brother, who seemed to her to be young and didn't know anything, would carry such a big secret alone.

And she, who boasts how much she loves her brother, knows him so well, and she doesn't even notice such a big thing. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't seem to be deliberately hiding it, just like Cheng Xu likes to secretly wear his own skirt and high heels and use his own cosmetics. Even if the teacher said that he never went to the bathroom at school, they thought that he loved cleanliness too much and didn't think about it at all.

Obviously, obviously everything is so obvious. Obviously, if she cares a little harder, she can find out. As long as she is more careful, her Ah Xu will not have to carry this secret alone until she dies......
