Helping Ling Ruoxi help Wu Kai back home, looking at Wu Kai's small room where a small bed had already taken up most of the area, Ling Ruoxi's face became even more solemn.

On her terms, she would never have seen such a house, let alone lived in.

And what she didn't know was that even such a small room was already a very luxurious thing for Wu Kai.

A year ago, a high school classmate who had not been in touch for many years suddenly contacted Wu Kai, who was still immersed in the pain of losing Ling Ruoxi.

He has just graduated from college for four or five years, and his career is small, and it is said that he is an agent of a well-known automation equipment in the north.

Looking at his glamorous life, Wu Kai was envious, and the two of them contacted each other for a while.

And that classmate also lost no time in sending an invitation to Wu Kai, asking him to go to the north to play, and promised to bear all the expenses.

Explicitly and secretly, he also hinted that he could help Wu Kai enter his industry, so that Wu Kai could struggle out of the quagmire of reality.

Because they are our classmates, and we had a good relationship in high school, and his character has also been unanimously recognized by me and Wu Kai.

Wu Kai and I didn't have any defense against him, and for Wu Kai, this may be an excellent opportunity to turn around.

As far as I am concerned, watching Wu Kai sink day by day, I also hope that he will go out for a walk and take a look, which will be regarded as relaxing.

At that time, we would never have thought that this trip would almost completely destroy Wu Kai.

Wu Kai took the train for more than 50 hours to reach the northern city where his classmates were, and then we lost his trace.

By the time I reached him again, it was already a week later. During this period, that classmate sent me a few messages, saying that Wu Kai's mobile phone was broken and there was no way to contact us.

At this time, I already had a faint uneasiness in my heart, and Uncle Wu and Aunt Xie were already anxious like ants on a hot pot.

They asked people around their hometown to inquire about the classmate's situation, but they didn't find anything, and I asked all the classmates, but they didn't get any useful information.

At this time, I was basically sure that he had deceived Wu Kai, and it was very likely that Wu Kai had fallen into his trap.

Sure enough, a week later, Wu Kai finally called me.

I carefully inquired about his various situations, and Wu Kai changed his previous decline and excitedly introduced me to the so-called "project" of the classmate.

In fact, there is no need for him to introduce me to anything, Uncle Wu and I have already found the answer from the previous traces.

The only thing we want now is to let Wu Kai come back safely, and at this time, Wu Kai has fallen into the great temptation of success that they have woven for him.

He begged me to help him, this was his only chance. Under the brainwashing of those so-called mentors, he was as simple as grasping a life-saving straw, desperately wanting to firmly grasp this so-called opportunity.

After Uncle Wu and I took turns to persuade for half of the time, Wu Kai still insisted, even at the expense of losing his past dignity as cherishing life.

In that half a month, he contacted almost everyone he could contact, begging everyone to help him so that he could participate in the so-called project of his classmates.

Xie Yiyi, who was far away in the United States, called me at five o'clock in the morning, and I knew what Wu Kai had done in just half a month.

In the end, under the joint discussion of Uncle Wu and Xie Yiyi, we called the police, and that classmate took the initiative to return Wu Kai to us after knowing that we called the police.

Of course, they have not forgotten their "professional ethics". Before notifying us to pick up Wu Kai, we didn't forget to brainwash him.

When Uncle Wu and I received Wu Kai, who was thrown by them on the side of the road, there was nowhere to vent the anger in my heart.

I couldn't think of what they had done to Wu Kai during this time. The big sunny boy stood timidly on the side of the road, his eyes were hollow, his body was rickety, and his face was pale, and his face was stained.

Uncle Wu and I struggled to keep our emotions in check, and then walked up to try to pull him out of here.

But when our hands touched his body, he instinctively dodged, his eyes full of horror and unease.

Wu Kai stood cramped on the side of the crowded street, constantly fiddling with a small wood carving that resembled Maitreya Buddha in his hand.

Almost instantly, tears blurred my eyes, and in the haze, Wu Kai in front of me looked like a walking corpse whose soul had been withdrawn.

I suppressed my emotions, fearing that my collapse would affect Wu Kai, and Uncle Wu's trembling hands also showed that he was experiencing the same pain as me.

"Kyle, look, I'm Daddy. I'll pick you up with Xiaoyuan, let's go home first, okay? Whatever happens, we're here to help you face it. ”

Uncle Wu's voice was choked and trembling, and his body was also trembling involuntarily.

This middle-aged man who once collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not change his face, this man who once held up a piece of heaven and earth for tens of millions of people.

At this moment, facing his son who has experienced this catastrophe, his emotions are collapsing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Wu Kai, on the other hand, looked at us with almost no emotion, without a trace of waves in his eyes, just standing there quietly, still playing with the wood carving in his hand.

The three of us stood silently on the streets of this strange city, and the hustle and bustle of the traffic around us seemed to have nothing to do with us.

Wu Kai's face was flat, while Uncle Wu and I were worried, and we didn't know how to help him get out of his current predicament.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Kai suddenly spoke: "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

The tone was cautious, with a hint of begging. After listening to his words, Uncle Wu hurriedly took out a loaf of bread and a bottle of water from his backpack and handed them to Wu Kai.

Wu Kaimu, who took the bread and water, said "thank you", and his "thank you" made Uncle Wu collapse instantly. I couldn't care about the eyes of the people around me, so I squatted on the ground to hide my face and howled.

Looking at Wu Kai again, his expression was still wooden, and he looked at his father squatting in front of him with an indifferent expression. During the whole process, there was no change in the expression at all.

I could see a burst of grief and indignation in my heart, and at this moment, the only thing I thought of was to make the culprit of all this pay the price.

I immediately picked up the phone and called the police, because Uncle Wu and I had reported to the police in Shenzhen and my hometown respectively.

The local police also received a report from the police in the two places, and they also attached great importance to it, and soon wiped out the gang with the help of the information provided by Wu Kai.

Looking at the mentors who were once high-spirited and talked about success in front of them, they crouched in front of them one by one.

Wu Kai's eyes finally had a glimmer of light, which also made Uncle Wu and I greatly relieved. Uncle Wu wanted to take Wu Kai back to his hometown to recuperate for a while, but Wu Kai refused.

He said that he had gone the wrong way, and that he wanted to correct him again, and that the mistakes he had made, they would try to make up for them.

Although Uncle Wu notified many relatives and friends at the first time, they couldn't resist Wu Kai's attack too widely.

In the end, many unreasonable people lent him a large amount of money, and in the end, all this money was taken by that classmate and put into what they called the so-called project.

In the end, although the police recovered some of the funds, most of the money was gone. And Wu Kai also took on a huge amount of debt in just half a month.

So he rejected Uncle Wu's proposal to go back to his hometown to recuperate, and instead chose to return to Shenzhen with me, he wanted to choose to start over, and wanted to get his life back on track through his own efforts.

So, at the train station in that remote northern town, we once again experienced the separation from Uncle Wu.

Only this time, he was even more reluctant to go, and the back of his turn to leave was even more lonely and lonely.

The moment he turned around, the three of us burst into tears. Wu Kai is because of remorse, Uncle Wu is because he is distressed and unbearable, and I am because of self-blame.

If I could have discovered the wrongness in time and stopped Wu Kai in time, then all this would not have happened.

It's just that it's too late, and no matter what I do now, I can't let Wu Kai go back to the way he used to be.

When Wu Kai and I returned to Shenzhen, I took him to the Fenghuang intersection where the driver had thrown him down when we first came to Shenzhen.

It's just that because of the transformation of National Highway 107, returning here has long been a matter of fact.

threw a cigarette to Wu Kai, Wu Kai took the cigarette and clumsily lit the lighter, but it didn't hit it several times. Looking at the way he is now, I feel sad again.

Turned on the lighter in his hand and lit a cigarette in his mouth for him. We smoked silently, looking at the busy traffic under our feet on National Highway 107, and the cars coming and going from south to north were like two densely woven traffic.

No one was the first to break the tranquility, but they were staring at the traffic under their feet without turning their eyes, and their hearts were full of sadness.

"Yuanzi, do you think I still have a chance?"

"Look at the traffic under your feet, what do you think the people in the car are busy with?"

Wu Kai looked at me with a puzzled expression, he obviously didn't expect why I suddenly asked this. After thinking for a long time, his lips squirmed, but he didn't say a word.

"They're busy moving away from the past and into the future. They're busy pursuing, they're also busy getting rid of it. ”

"We're all going to have bad pasts, we're all going to go through lows, we're all going to do things wrong. But it is precisely these pasts, lows and mistakes that will make our future more precious. ”

"These pasts are not only not our stains, but will become our medals, and we can only survive these darkness and usher in the light when we are more valuable."

"I know that telling you this now is not going to help you much, and it will not solve the problem you are facing. But you remember clearly to me, no matter what happens, I will stand with you. ”

"I will face it with you, overcome it together, grow and break through it together. Look here, what it was like when we first came to Shenzhen, and it's only been a few years since it became what it is now. ”

"Time can take away all the pain, it will make the wound scab, and it will make the pain that was once unbearable become light."

"So we just need to be strong to face it, and leave the rest to time, and time will definitely give us the answer."

"So, don't think about it now, don't dwell on your emotions and let time heal your wounds. When it's all over and you look back, you'll find that all the pain you're experiencing now isn't a thing. ”

"Well, I see, thank you Yuanzi. Thank you for choosing to stand by me at this time, and thank you for everything you have done for me. ”

"If you mention half a word of thanks to me again, I will throw you down from here, you are a hundred, and I will be quiet from now on."

In the end, in order to help Wu Kai pay off his debts as soon as possible, at the insistence of Uncle Wu and Aunt Xie, Wu Kai had no choice but to sell the house in his hometown.

This is also the reason why he will cry hysterically in front of me today, so I have to go to Ling Ruoxi to come over.

In fact, in the past six months, I have been going to him every half a month, and every time I am very drunk. But he had been holding back his emotions, and he had never been so painful as he was today.

had to sell the house, which became the last straw that crushed him, and all his emotions exploded completely today.

I knew he was on the verge of collapse, and if I didn't drag him back, I was afraid something would happen to him.

That's why I had no choice but to ask Ling Ruoxi for help, hoping that she could make Wu Kai cheer up again.

I have always tried my best to pick out Wu Kai's story and report it to Ling Ruoxi, she never knew what Wu Kai had experienced.

As a bystander, I have never been involved in her relationship with Wu Kai, and I am worried that my involvement will affect her judgment.

But looking at Wu Kai, who was lying on the bed, and looking at his frowns even though he was so drunk that he didn't wake up.

I finally couldn't hold back, and I told all the things that Wu Kai had experienced in the past and all the efforts and struggles he had done behind her back.

By the time I finished speaking, Ling Ruoxi was already in tears. For a person like her, who has been accustomed to excellence since childhood, she may never be able to understand how much we struggle in the world of ordinary people like me and Wu Kai.

Seeing Ling Ruoxi carefully taking care of the drunken Wu Kai, I quietly exited the room and left time for them.

At night, it was already very deep, there were no pedestrians on the road, and even stray cats and dogs had already found a place to hide and sleep.

Walking on the road top-heavy, the sorrow in my heart is a little bit eroding my mind.

The brightly lit city, the bleak future, and the past are vivid. Thinking of Wu Kai, who had already fallen asleep at this time, and then thinking about himself, every step we took was extremely difficult.

Even so, we are still moving forward, still enthusiastic, and still looking forward to the future.
