Decrypted password (1)
Xia Zhu never thought that one day he would appear in prison with the people around him.
Everyone in here is a repeat offender, it takes an hour to drive there, and the distance from the city is quite far. Lin Yuanxiao remained silent, his gaze fixed on the window until Xia Zhu spoke up.
For some reason, Xia Zhu always felt that Lin Yuan's gaze was a bit evasive, seemingly without any focus.
In the end, she chose a casual shirt with a regular pattern for Lin Yuanxi, and on top of that was a black, sleek long coat. Although it was an ordinary outfit, when placed on Lin Yuanxi's tall figure, it looked exceptionally good. Xia Zhu felt a sense of injustice in her heart towards the creator, but there was a hint of a smile at the bottom of her eyes.
"Let's go." Lin Yuanxi withdrew his gaze, his voice calm and gentle, causing Xia Zhu to pause for a moment without reason.
I always feel like there's something inexplicably out of place, as if the person next to me is wearing someone else's skin.
"Y...ou..." Xia Zhu hesitated at the start of her sentence.
"Your wallet."
"Huh?" Xia Zhu raised her eyes to look at him.
Lin Yuan slightly nodded and threw something over: "Return it to you."
"Didn't you say it was over there?" Xia Zhu asked with a somewhat dull expression.
Lin Yuan's eyes shifted slightly: "It came back on its own."
Xia Zhu: ...Is it really okay to just gloss over things like this?!
Lin Yuan didn't notice at all and took a big step forward, already walking in.
Xia Zhuo couldn't help but find it a bit amusing. She rubbed her chin and followed along, not feeling suffocated at all on her first visit to the prison.
The atmosphere inside was oppressive, and when Lin Yuanxi appeared, the guard at the door was stunned for a moment before saluting. Xia Zhuo was also quite familiar with the guard, hastily nodding and saying "Hello, hello."
"Summer Bamboo," the guard, a young man with two small dimples on his face, who looked somewhat petite, smiled and said: "How did Master Lin come here?"
"I've heard that the term 'expert' is quite controversial these days, and besides, I don't need others to deliberately..." Lin Yuan furrowed his brow as he spoke, but was interrupted by Xia Zhu. She looked at the guard and said, "Year older brother, don't mind him, just calling Mr. Lin will do."
Nian Zhiyang smiled and bowed slightly as he handed over the registration book: "Alright, Mr. Lin, please sign here."
The two of them registered and walked inside, Lin Yuanxi turned his head back to glance at Yang Zhiyang humming a tune outside, chuckling softly: "You really know a lot of people."
Xia Zhu was somewhat surprised, this remark is not what Lin Yuan usually says, she thought for a moment and smiled: "Hmm, it's okay, Year Gege is a childhood neighbor, always had a good relationship."
She spoke carelessly, but Lin Yuanqie's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he suddenly thought of something...
If we say they've been neighbors since childhood, then wouldn't that year be like Xia Zhu and Qing Mei's childhood sweetheart?!
People with low EQ can't fully understand what "childhood sweethearts" means. He took out his dusty old phone, pressed a few buttons on it, and handed it to Xia Zhu: "Phone."
"......Ah?" Xia Zhu was stunned, her eyebrows and eyes filled with surprise.
"I need Yan Zhiyang's phone number." Lin Yuan said calmly.
"Xia Zhu lost her smile: "What do you want his phone number for?" Accustomed to not questioning Lin Yuan's decisions, Xia Zhu still pressed a few buttons and handed it back: "Hmm, that's the one.""
Lin Yuan looked at the string of numbers for a while, nodded slightly and handed over the phone: "Mine?"
"What does it mean?" Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuan silently.
Lin Yuanqi spoke with a straight face and a strong tone: "Help me enter my phone number."
Xia Zhu finally understood his thoughts, but could only helplessly sigh: "I don't have your phone number."
Lin Yuan furrowed his brow silently, looking a bit like a sulking child.
Although she should have thought that the man was being unreasonable, Xia Zhu couldn't really be angry with him, and instead handed over her phone: "Hmm, you tell me once, I'll definitely remember it forever."
Lin Yuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, not refuting Xia Zhu's so-called forever. In this era, how long is a person's forever? Even a mobile phone number will be changed when it's time to change it.
Moreover, in a person's not very long life, the memory is thin.
Perhaps it was because of Xia Zhu's overly serious and determined expression that Lin Yuan inadvertently swallowed the sarcastic remark that had reached his lips. He then took Xia Zhu's phone, pressed a few buttons to input his own phone number, thought for a moment, and then randomly pressed two more buttons before putting it back. After fiddling with Xia Zhu's phone, his expression looked slightly better.
After being with him for a long time, Xia Zhu felt that she had thoroughly understood his temperament. This person... was clearly a psychologist, and when he wasn't familiar with someone, he was a thoroughgoing poisonous-tongued face-paralyzer; once they became familiar, his joys and sorrows were all written on his face, and there was no need to guess.
A clean and transparent person, Xia Zhu gave a definition.
The long corridor finally came to an end. The guard outside the door checked their documents and swiped a card on the thick electronic door, leading them inside.
Xia Zhu held her breath, and so many long memories came flooding back, but the desolation and despair of that time were nowhere to be seen.
Until the three of them stopped in front of a steel gate, that person finally checked that neither of the two had any lethal weapons on them, and only then did he open the last lock.
The people inside raised their heads and looked towards the faint light that had suddenly appeared.
After a while, the old man with a hunched back smiled. His smile was warm and gentle, just like an elderly person: "You've come."
"Do you still remember me?" Lin Yuan asked, his voice extremely quiet.
"Remember, the clever kid from the Lin family... " Xia Jiwei smiled faintly and patted the chair beside him, saying: "He wasn't wrong, he said you'd come soon enough, and here you are..."
Only once a year is visiting time, apart from them, who else would come to visit this person who has long been abandoned by the world?
A bad idea suddenly surged up in Xia Zhu's heart, and she involuntarily looked at Lin Yuanbo beside her. However, Lin Yuanbo's expression was calm, he looked at Xia Jiyan, then glanced around the vast and empty room, and suddenly said: "You shouldn't remember me."
"Xiao Qi, of course I remember... you're a good kid, I've never doubted it," Xia Jiyan's panting seemed to be somewhat laborious, he looked at Lin Yuanqi who was quieter than usual for a long time, and then silently stretched out his hand: "You see, someone asked me to bring this to you."
Xia Zhu only took a glance at his withered hand and suddenly gasped: "Yuan Li."
That was a piece of bone wrapped in small pieces of skin, and what's most frightening is ——
"That's human skin and bones."
"Go ahead..." Xia Jiyuan's voice was old and worn, his appearance also that of an elderly man. He looked at them with a calm and peaceful gaze: "I know it's chaotic outside."
Xia Zhu quietly watched him, with mixed emotions.
Love and hate have dissipated, the former beauty is even more fragmented, now only this unbearable person is left, she suddenly doesn't know what to say.
Pity is unnecessary, but hatred also slowly fades away. Time is a terrible thing; it wears everything out, silently.
"Be careful, it's chaotic outside... Cough... You must be careful."
Before the door closed, Xia Zhu heard a last sentence from the darkness, and her hand was already tightly grasped by someone.
Thank you so much, voice forever, comments from pet seaweed supporters (^o^)/ ~ I love you guys.
After Xia's father's case, I'll continue to talk about it. Anyway, no matter what the case is, I hope to see a little warmth in the end, and it's always better to have more warmth.
