Chapter 169: Sin Deserved
Purple Pavilion "I'm sorry." Yu Zi apologized to Nan Yu.
Although there is no explanation for why the apology is being made. Nan Yu still understands why Yu Zi came. It was probably only now that I learned that he was in prison. After thinking about it, I decided to visit him.
And this "I'm sorry" is obviously said for Zhan Rin. Nan Yu knows. Even if Yu Zi wants to draw a line with himself. He would never be framed and imprisoned in this way. It's even more impossible to instigate Warrin to do so. Apparently. The fact that Zhan Rin caused him to go to prison made Yu Zi embarrassed.
Nan Yu wanted to spread his hands and make a shrug motion. only to find that his wrists were handcuffed and he couldn't move. Nan Yu smiled absently. As if looking away, he said, "This is what I deserve."
"You are innocent. I can help you find a way to reduce your sentence......" Yu Zi's dark eyes were serious. He is a lawyer. As long as there is enough evidence. Commutation is easy. As long as Nan Yu promised to let himself help him. Everything can be solved naturally.
Even if you can't get out of prison right away. You don't need to stay for at least 10 years. As long as it can be reduced by five or six years. Then at most stay for another year or two and see the light of day again.
"No, you don't." Yu Zi's proposal was coldly rejected by Nan Yu. Nan Yu shook his head solemnly. A pair of bright eyes swept the prison that had been in prison for two or three years. It's quiet here. Although eating and drinking are not good. There is no freedom. But away from a lot of the dirty things in the world.
"Yu Zi. In the last few years, I have been promoted very quickly. My father has offended a lot of people for me. I'm not completely innocent. Not to mention that my father died. I'm atoning for his sins. and my own sins to atone for. I owe it to Chigo. I beg you to leave me alone. Let me go through this ten years in prison. Let me repent quietly. Otherwise. I won't forgive myself until I die......"
Nan Yu's handcuffed hands propped up on the table against his forehead. Like a guilty prisoner, he bowed his head and told his pain in front of Yu Zi. The moment I learned of Sengo's death. Nan Yu only felt as if his heart had been hollowed out. But they don't realize how important that person is to them. I just blindly think that I love Yu Zi. Maybe that's just because you can't get it. That's why I just have thoughts.
"Nan Yu. Let me help you." Yu Zi said bitterly. Once Nan Yu also helped him at all costs. Never ask for anything in return. and ask for nothing from him. So he always thought they were good friends. It's just friends......
The world is unpredictable. Who knew what would happen so many unexpectedly.
Nan Yu raised his head. No. YU Zi. You are a lawyer of integrity. Time should be spent on people who really need your help. I don't need it anymore. It's true. I don't blame anyone. I really deserve it. If you were still my friend...... No. You said I was just your 'once' friend. Then even if I beg you. Don't do anything. I'm fine here. All is well."
Nan Yu's eyes shone with tears. He covered his eyes with his hands in embarrassment. YU Zi. Promise me. Just promise me."
“…… Okay." Yu Zi nodded with difficulty. This was done by Zhan Rin without his knowledge. He should have tried his best to redeem it. Anyway, Nan Yu has been his good friend for more than ten years. That friendship doesn't mean that you can give it up. And between them. There is also a dead man in the middle. Separated by a thousand royals.
I just saw Nan Yu's painful appearance. Yu Zi's heart was dull and aching. But it also comforts his brother's spirit in the sky. Qianyu. Nan Yu still loves you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so painful. It's just that life doesn't start all over again. He missed you. Missed ......
"Thank you. YU Zi. You're still going to come and see me. I'm really happy. I'd like to hear you talk about Sengo. Let's reminisce together. Okay?" Nan Yu turned around and wiped away her tears. On Yu Zi's spotless eyes.
Yu Zi's eyes became dark. For the first time, he said of his brother in a nostalgic tone: "I remember that he was very well-behaved since he was a child. I like to read books. The temperament is very quiet. Cook a good meal. Loved eating the cake I made. Every time I go out he grabs my hand. Pressed and asked, 'Brother. Where are you going.'. From so small. In a blink of an eye, it was as high as my shoulders. The year I met you. It's probably as high as my neck......"
Yu Zi gestured in front of Nan Yu at the height of Qianyu at that time. Nan Yu nodded and said, "Hmm. He was so tall that year."
"He should be love at first sight. I was also confused about homosexuality. It's just that I saw me with Ji Zheqian. He quickly walked out. He's afraid that sticking to you will bore you. Just wait for the bus at the place you pass by every day, or quietly lean against the lamppost and read a book. Pretend to meet you by chance. Just to be able to talk to you a few words. He asked me what you like to eat. At one point he found time to go back and forth two or three times. Just to make you lunch. I'm afraid that if I give it to you with my own hands, you will refuse. So he begged me to deliver ......."
Yu Zi chuckled. That stupid kid is afraid that you don't like him. Also worry that you will like women. So I have always hidden my love in my heart and dare not say it. Once you invited me to the movies. He just went and bought a ticket. Just sit right behind you. As soon as you turn around. You can see him. It's just that you probably didn't know from beginning to end......"
Nan Yu was silent. It turned out that Qianyu had silently paid so much without his knowledge. Countless encounters I thought it was fate...... It's ridiculous. Where in the world do so many coincidences?
Nan Yu still remembers that the movie she went to see with Yu Zi was the only gay film to be shown in cinemas for so many years. The protagonist's love affair is bumpy. Including being discriminated against by classmates at school. Being abused and ridiculed by parents at home who don't understand. Even forced to break up. At the end of the film. The two boys left the city holding hands. The two kissed for the first time by the lake. I just touched the other person's lips in disgust.
See the final scene. At that time, Nan Yu quietly turned his head to look at Yu Zi. The light of the screen sprinkled on Yu Zi's good-looking side face. His expression was a little sad. Nan Yu kept looking at Yu Zi. With a fascination that he himself had never noticed. At that time, Senyu must have seen it too. Seeing the man you like looking at your brother affectionately like that. What a heartache it feels.
Nan Yu lowered his head in annoyance. It turned out that the time I watched the movie, Qianyu was sitting behind him. And he never looked back once. So I didn't realize that Qianyu loved him so deeply. At that time, Yu Zi never thought that the person Nan Yu liked would be himself......
Tears snaked down the man's face. Nan Yu regretted not being at the beginning. If there is a regret medicine in the world. How nice that would be. Every time I listen to Yu Zi's words about Qianyu. Nan Yu's heart hurt as if she had been tormented repeatedly in a frying pan. But I tasted a faint sense of happiness. I always thought that he was the only one silently watching Yu Zi. I didn't know until now. There was also a Qianyu who watched over him silently.
"Maybe he was willing. Nan Yu. He never regretted falling in love with you in the first place......" Yu Zi's words were still unfinished. A sharp bell rings. The prison guard knocked impatiently on the door. "It's time. It's about time."
Nan Yu took the daily necessities and books handed over by Yu. Reluctantly glanced at him a few times. A second before stepping out of the living room, he suddenly said, "Yu Zi. Don't wake up to the loss of happiness like I did. Treasure...... Cherish the people in front of you. Thank you for forgiving me. Come and see me."
Yu Zi also stood up. Tilt your head and smile softly." I haven't forgiven you yet. When you come out of prison, come with me for a drink. I'll forgive you."
"Okay." Nan Yu looked at a face that was almost the same as it was at the beginning. Nod vigorously.
"The time has come. Get back in." The prison guard pushes Nan Yu. The back of the prison uniform disappeared from Yu Zi's sight.
Yu Zi walked out of the depressing prison. Zhan Rin was seen leaning against the car smoking a cigar. Several cigarette butts were also thrown on the ground. Yu Zi frowned. He walked over and snatched the cigar from his mouth and said, "Smoke less."
Zhan Rin hugged Yu Zi in his arms. Hold tightly. Yu Zi was able to smell the special smell on Zhan Rin's body. Pure masculinity combined with tobacco notes. It's not annoying. Maybe I'm used to it.
As the car moved, Yu Zi slowly rested his head on Zhan Rin's shoulder. I said I had to find a way to help him get his sentence reduced. He refuses to live or die. He said he deserved it."
Warrin slowed down. Thought about it. Finally, he said, "That's his choice. Maybe you helped him, but he felt even more upset. People always have to find a way to punish themselves for the mistakes they have committed."
"Zhan Rin. You've been in prison for seven years. What are you thinking?" Yu Zi asked softly with his eyes closed.
"Miss you. Sometimes I wonder how I can get revenge on you when I get out of prison to make you miserable. Sometimes I wonder why you hate me so much. More often than not, I just think about you. Want to see you. I want to hold you. It's also true that I want to strangle you. It's also true that I can't bear it." Zhan Rin laughed self-deprecatingly while rubbing his face against Yu Zi's soft hair.
Yu Zi muttered, "I see."
Cherish the people in front of you. It's time to cherish it.
Zhan Rin was enjoying the time when Yu Zi took the initiative to get close to him. The phone rang in a terrible way. Zhan Rin frowned in displeasure. After answering the phone, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm at your house. Come and drink with me." Yao Sa's voice came from the phone. With a deep sense of loss.
Zhan Rin paused. What are you crazy about. It's cold."
"Don't mention that bastard again. You can't get by. Isn't it a brother .." Yao Sa yelled angrily at the phone.
Zhan Rin's head hurt instantly." I'm not at home. You're at your own convenience." I want to hang up the phone. Unexpectedly, Yao Sa replied: "I know you haven't been living at home recently. Uncle Lin told me everything. I'm on your man's side. Aren't you living across from him now?"
The phone was suddenly disconnected. Zhan Rin and Yu Zi looked at each other. The headache guy is coming. I'm going to go back first." Zhan Rin rubbed his temples. Yu Zi nodded knowingly......
