Chapter 233: Palms

Tears rolled down the slanting arc inch by inch, and finally stuck into a deep wrinkle. The sleeping woman seemed to recall something very unpleasant, and struggled unconsciously, and the chair rubbed against the ground with a loud noise.
"Mom......" Under the attention of several guests, Zhai Yiwen sighed and walked to the front desk and knocked the table.
After several quick gasps, the woman opened her eyes in a daze. The sunlight that penetrated the glass lost half of its power, and still burned a small piece of the tabletop. She sloppily wiped the wet spot on her face with the back of her hand, revealing a slightly confused smile.
"Why don't you go home and rest first?" The atmosphere in the cafΓ© was very quiet, and Zhai Yiwen unconsciously lowered his voice, "It's okay, I can handle it alone." β
The woman's face was pressed with a small red mark, her hair was a little messy, and she hung her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
"What did you dream about?" Zhai Yiwen quickly realized the crux of the problem. He slowly half-crouched down in front of the chair and called out again, "Mom? β
In the air, countless tiny fibers are floating up and down. The woman's divergent gaze narrowed on him little by little, and after a long time, she also sighed.
"I dreamed of your dad again......" she patted her son's deliberately lowered head lightly, just like a few years ago, "I dreamed that our family was sitting at the dining table eating together, and you were scolded and cried by your dad because you were too picky eater." β
ββ¦β¦ That was many years ago. Zhai Yiwen laughed, but his eyes were very gloomy.
"After eating slowly, your father said that the opportunity is rare, and he has to pull the two of us to do some family activities." The woman's speech was slow, probably organizing the language while recalling, "What interesting good ideas can he have as a big man who spends all day with a group of rough old men." As a result, after a long time, he actually wanted to pull the two of us to play cards...... You're only seven or eight years old, and you can't tell which card is bigger and which card is smaller. β
"This is what you dreamed about? Or did it really happen? I don't quite remember. "Zhai Yiwen rarely has such a good patience.
The woman shook her head and replied with some distress, "I'm a little confused now." β
"Well, it's okay, it doesn't matter." Zhai Yiwen paused for a moment and asked again, "What about later?" β
"Later...... I was anxious to wash the dishes first, but your dad wouldn't let me. I asked him what he was so flustered about, and he told me, it's hard to go home......" A second ago, she was smiling happily, and the woman suddenly covered her face with a lot of movements, and said with a crying voice, "At this time, I suddenly remembered that he was gone, and our home was gone......"
In the days after leaving the Pangu, both their mother and son packed up in a hurry. One was crying and trying to leave with a few more things, while the other was grimacing and put the things back in their place one by one.
The furniture is dead, and you can buy it when it's gone. Zhai Yiwen persuaded her so at that time. Just take the easiest thing to get in for. The departing ships were so crowded, and they only had mother and son, how could they have the energy to run around with a desk.
"I suddenly felt scared." The woman threw herself on the table, trying to hide her cry, "You say, we have gone so far this time, will his soul still find a home in the future?" β
"Don't think about it. When a person dies, he dies, and there is no such thing as a soul. Zhai Yiwen habitually denied it.
"But ......"
"Well, even if there is. Dad must also hope that the two of us will continue to live well, and not stay there and wait for death to keep that little bit of unwarranted memories. Zhai Yiwen reacted quickly and changed his words, "Ghosts are omnipotent, how can we not even know that the two of us have moved?" Dad will be happy to see you and I are doing well......"
After trying her best to persuade for a while, the woman finally fell asleep hazy again. Zhai Yiwen glanced at the orders waiting to be processed on the screen, and estimated in his heart for a while how to complete it in the shortest time, but he took out a small blanket from the drawer and put it on his mother's body very lightly. After thinking about it, he pushed the window open a little and closed the curtain again.
After a long day of busy work in the kitchen, he finally saw off the guests who came to drink afternoon tea one after another. Zhai Yiwen bent over and rummaged through the refrigerator, and then found a marker pen and a sign that said "temporarily closed" from the locker.
"I'm out there to buy something missing." He pressed the written note under the woman's elbow, then hung a sign on the inside of the glass door, checked his belongings again before leaving, and finally carefully locked the main entrance.
I hope that the business will not be delayed for too long. He glanced down at his watch and hurried to the supermarket.
Since Ling Shucheng officially started his busy new life, the two of them rarely see each other in private. got rid of this troublesome hot potato, and Zhai Yiwen's life was obviously much more leisurely. The work of a coffee shop is tedious and tedious, but at least it is not life-threatening.
Being alive is more important than anything else. He grabbed a handful of coins from his pocket and paused in front of the vending machine, but finally didn't waste the change on his drink.
The screams of knowing are very annoying, like some noisy girl who always leans by his side. Zhai Yiwen pursed his lips and stared at the traffic light across the street, as if he was competing with the numbers on it.
Speaking of which, Ye Shuangshuang seems to have finally gotten what she wanted recently, and successfully joined a school in a certain city by climbing the messy relationship at home that was not cleaned up and messy. I don't know if this brainless guy will persistently promote the crooked ways of her brain to the students.
This is no longer the case. If she still causes trouble for her family in three days and two days like before, no one is absolutely sure that she will be saved.
The countdown to the red light was not over yet, and someone who was already anxious pushed him hard from behind. Zhai Yiwen snorted, controlling his thoughts of glaring back at the other party.
Don't look for trouble. He admonished himself.
Maybe he's always had some kind of crow's beak potential that hasn't been explored. When he saw a familiar face that was about to come to him, Zhai Yiwen immediately turned his face away with a weak heart.
It's a Sunday, but Ye Shuangshuang is wearing an old-fashioned formal suit. Combined with the antique-level glasses on her face, there is a certain temperament between nerdy and neurotic.
Probably because of something on his mind, karma both kept his head down. The possibility of not being recognized was much greater in an instant, and Zhai Yiwen, who felt that he was about to escape the catastrophe, was in a slightly gloomy mood.
He paused at the edge of a flower bed, intending to wait for the humanoid nuisance to leave his sight first.
At this moment, a tall middle-aged man suddenly bumped into Zhai Yiwen and hurriedly rushed in front of Ye Shuangshuang.
"Teacher Ye?" The man's voice was loud, and he succeeded in attracting the attention of someone who was in the presence of an old god.
Between the lush branches and leaves, Zhai Yiwen saw Ye Shuangshuang raise his head in a daze, and after holding his glasses again, he finally showed a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, you're ......"
The street was even more noisy than Zhai Yiwen expected. The girl's voice was soon drowned out by the promotional music of the surrounding shops. He could only see that Ye Shuangshuang's face was getting whiter and paler, and his hands were nervously clenching the corners of his clothes, maintaining the state that every time he spit out a few words, the person opposite would snatch the conversation.
This is a good opportunity for him to get off the scene. Zhai Yiwen thought.
Before his first foot hit the ground, the bald middle-aged man's thunderous voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Is it worthy of being my child's teacher even if you are like you?"
Zhai Yiwen put his hands in his pockets, licked his lips unconsciously, and finally managed to turn his back to someone and bypass the flower bed.
Don't look for trouble. Again, he repeated it in his heart.
It seems that God can't bear his repeated self-slapping behavior. As soon as Zhai Yiwen slowly exhaled the breath stuck in his chest, he heard an extremely crisp slap.
There is no clear reason, no need for the slightest hesitation. He jerked back and pinched his chin and pulled the menacing man's face over.
"You kid thinkβ" The man's spit was still in his mouth when he felt a gust of wind blow towards his ears.
"Smack". It's even louder than that one just now. The middle-aged man involuntarily turned clockwise in place, and the buzzing in his head only subsided slightly.
"I hate men who hit women the most." Zhai Yiwen's hand has not yet fallen. After a moment, he suddenly laughed and slapped it again in the opposite direction, "It's a little more symmetrical." Don't thank me. β
The man covered his aching face with his hands and looked at him with wide eyes.
"You kid are ...... What a person! The man was still a little trembling when he spoke, I don't know if he was frightened by Zhai Yiwen's momentum, or if he couldn't control the pain, "When Lao Tzu was messing around on the street, you were still in the kindergartenββ"
"I advise you to be careful what you say." The disadvantage of slapping someone is probably that he will also have a little hand pain, Zhai Yiwen calmly put his right hand behind his back, "When I first cut someone on the street, your child may still be nursing at home." β
Ye Shuangshuang covered half of his face and stood aside with a dull expression, probably not realizing what had happened in the past half a minute.
"Why, Teacher Ye, do you still know this kind of little rascal?" The man froze for a moment, and quickly turned the muzzle of the gun smartly, "Okay, yes, I'll go to the principal to sue you, and see what kind of garbage he has found to teach!" β
"I'll give you one last chance to shut up and get out of my eyes." Completely ignoring the crowd that gradually gathered around, Zhai Yiwen pointed to the other party's nose, "Otherwise, you will wait for the principal to come to the intensive care unit in person to present you with flowers!" β
"One article!" Ye Shuangshuang's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped between the two, "This gentleman is the parent of my student, he ......"
"You, give, I, let, go." Zhai Yiwen paused word by word, "Don't stand in front of me." Go and take a look at your own face, and be a teacher to the point of being slapped on the street, and I'm really convinced. β
"No, it's because I-"
didn't give Ye Shuangshuang a chance to continue persuading, Zhai Yiwen turned his neck, and then pushed her away.
"Why, why, you still want to fight on the street?" The man replied with a stiff neck, but his body took a step back.
"The most important thing you should be concerned about right now is how long it will take for the police to arrive here." Zhai Yiwen shook off the sweat on his forehead and clenched his fists seriously.
-
Eight o'clock in the evening. Ling Shucheng and the three people involved in the case who were separated by the table glanced at each other in turn, holding their foreheads and sighing long.
"Street brawls?" He tapped his fingers on the table, motioning for someone who was clearly out of shape to come back to his senses first.
Qiu Pingning covered his mouth and laughed quietly beside Ling Shucheng.
"Yes, officer, you're going to call the shots for me!" The middle-aged man with a bruised face instantly slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Zhai Yiwen's head and yelled, "It's this kid, he actually has no law, bullying an old and weak woman and child like me on the street, I ......"
"Wait, you stop for a moment." Qiu Pingning looked him up and down, "The old, the weak, the woman, and the child don't seem to have anything to do with you?" β
The middle-aged man was blocked by him, and could only look at Ling Shucheng with tears in his eyes.
"You sit down first." Ling Shucheng stabilized his face, "We've already seen the whole process of the surveillance nearby." All you have to do is repeat what you talked about. β
"This kid has been scolding Lao Tzu! Do it while scolding! Mr. Policeman, you must get justice for me! β
Ling Shucheng looked into his eyes and said calmly: "But judging from the surveillance, it was you who made the first move on Miss Ye. Why did you do that? β
"I'm ......" the man's eyes rolled and he began to avoid the serious, "but that's what I did!" After that, this kid jumped out inexplicably, slapped me twice without saying anything, and punched and kicked me! β
"Yes, we all saw it." Qiu Pingning held back a smile and nodded, "Actually, you also wanted to punch and kick Mr. Zhai later, but your skills were a little worse, and you never succeeded." β
"yes." Zhai Yiwen squinted his eyes and nodded, "If I were to unilaterally bully people, this case would not be characterized as a 'brawl'." To put it bluntly, you are beaten because you are not good at fighting, in addition to bullying and bullying little girls, you also have the ability to fall to the ground and scream in pain. β
"You don't have to say a word." Ling Shucheng glanced at him and repeated to the middle-aged man, "So, why did you fan Miss Ye at that time?" β
The man finally sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere in the room, and once again patted the table and stood up, stretching out his finger and pointing around: "Oh, I see, you two have been holding on to this, you won't be with these two, right?" Lao Tzu has been in the society for so many years, and he still has this bit of vision! Where's your boss? Call him out! I want to see what the identity of this hairy boy is, and there are still people protecting him in the police station! β
"We're just routinely getting informed. It's because you've been uncooperative, and we can't continue to sort out the case. "What Ling Shucheng said is reasonable and well-founded.
"This kid has beaten me like this! Can't you tell who's right and who's wrong? The man shouted, "Lao Tzu almost lost half his life!" If you don't handcuff him immediately, what are you waiting for? β
"The wound on Miss Ye's face is not light, and it stands to reason that the two of you should indeed be handcuffed together." Ling Shucheng's face did not change, "Before I do it, sit down." β
