In the next few days, Yu Qianlin was very busy again, and Wen Shu began to officially update the comic strip about child trafficking on Weibo.
The two of them were busy with their own things, and their days were relatively peaceful. However, they had never discussed their relationship in depth. Yu Qianlin was so busy that she had completely forgotten about it, and as for Wen Shu, she was still not so sure.
It’s not that she is unsure about her feelings for Yu Qianlin and Yu Qianlin’s feelings for her, but she is unsure whether their relationship, which has been separated for six years, can continue like this.
Therefore, Wen Shu has always avoided talking about confirming the relationship.
Criminal police team.
"I don't agree!"
At this time, the entire brigade was holding a meeting to discuss the plan against the trafficking team, and the team leader Cheng Lisheng directly ordered Yu Qianlin to be in charge of commanding the second team, but Yu Qianlin immediately disagreed.
The operation was divided into two teams, one responsible for arresting criminals and the other for rescuing kidnapped children. Yu Qianlin, who had been fighting on the front line of every mission, was asked to step down, which he could not accept at all. Even though he really fell in love with the police profession in recent years, he did not forget his original intention: to send the traffickers to prison personally.
This is obsession and belief.
Cheng Lisheng didn't even raise his head: "This is an order!"
"I protest!"
"Rejected!" Cheng Lisheng raised his head and stared at him with bright eyes. "I hope you understand that rescue is as important as arrest."
Cheng Lisheng knew Yu Qianlin's background and anticipated that he might object to this arrangement. However, the second team needed a commander with sufficient experience.
In a mission a long time ago, they rescued a child from a car engulfed in flames . The child watched his parents die in the disaster, and was left alone at a young age and sent to an orphanage.
All this caused the child to become silent and no amount of comforting worked. Later, after Yu Qianlin spent an afternoon chatting with the child under a big tree in the welfare home , the child changed. He gradually started playing with other children, interacting with people, and gradually began to smile.
Cheng Lisheng was also there at the time. He stood not far away and heard every word of Yu Qianlin's words.
He said he was separated from his parents when he was young and didn't even know who his parents were. He said if his grandfather hadn't saved him from the traffickers, he might have had his limbs broken and thrown on the street to beg. He said every parent wants their children to be happy, and even if they are far away in heaven, they are still thinking about them from afar...
There were many other trivial things. He didn't care whether the child responded or not, he just kept talking to himself. In the end, he even gave the child the first medal he had ever received, telling him that the world was wonderful and he only needed to take the first step firmly. The child took it hesitantly and held the medal tightly.
…………
The reason why Cheng Lisheng made such an arrangement was based on another consideration: Yu Qianlin's injury had not yet fully recovered, and he did not want to further injure him.
"I want to join Team One!" Yu Qianlin still insisted.
"Dismiss!" Cheng Lisheng no longer gave him room for maneuver.
"Captain Cheng!" Yu Qianlin was ignored and immediately became furious. He kicked the chair next to him, but he also knew that according to Cheng Lisheng's personality, there was no possibility of arguing.
There is a kind of person who is born unlovable, who doesn't have many close friends, nor does he make too many friends. But once you identify with someone, it's a lifelong thing.
Wen Shu thought, this is just the kind of person she is.
At this moment, she was sitting in a coffee shop with Xu Xia Xia, whom she hadn't seen for many years. The pleasant music in the shop was completely drowned out by Xu Xia Xia's chattering, but she listened attentively, as always.
Xu Xia Xia seemed to be finally tired of talking, and asked Wen Shu: "Xiao Shu, are you listening carefully?"
Wen Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes. You said that your father didn't really hide back then, but was locked up by someone close to him. After he escaped, he immediately found a way to rescue you and your daughter. You also said that there is a man at work who is particularly annoying recently, and you don't like him at all. Ah! And Zuo Rang has been busy doing experiments recently and has no time to listen to your complaints, right?"
"Uh, yes, both are correct." Xu Xia Xia's face suddenly became hot. She took a sip of coffee awkwardly and said, "Xiao Shu, if you hadn't left back then..."
"No ifs!" Wen Shu interrupted her directly, "I don't want anyone I care about to become my benefactor. If I do that, I will really lose you."
Xu Xia Xia looked at Wen Shu in a daze: "Xiao Shu, you are too proud!" She was too calm. If she were to be in the current situation, she would not be able to handle the situation so calmly.
Wen Shu smiled and didn't explain too much.
After chatting for a while, Xu Xia Xia suddenly asked, "Xiao Shu, what's the situation between you and Yu Qianlin now?"
Wen Shu paused while stirring the coffee. She tapped the wall of the cup with a small spoon and said, "Do you hear the ding-ding sound? It sounds pleasant at first, but becomes annoying after a while. He and I are like this sound. We are both just right at the moment."
Xu Xia Xia was confused when she heard this: "Oh! When did you become a philosopher? I just want to ask you, do you still like him?"
Wen Shu blinked: "I like it."
"Isn't that enough? You like him and he likes you, so you can be together!" Xu Xia Xia was almost dying of anxiety. She didn't know who was being pretentious between the two and what they were being pretentious about.
"Don't get excited!" Wen Shu soothed him, "Actually, I thought so at first, but in the past six years, he has his plans and life, and I have my ideals and goals. It can be said that we have nothing but memories from six years ago."
"Excuses! They're all excuses!" Xu Xia Xia got angry. She said, "Wen Shu, actually I wanted to say this a long time ago. It's not that you don't like someone, but you don't dare to like them. You always put yourself in a lower position and look up to those who have given to you and treated you well. But do you know that if you do this, we will also be very sad and afraid, afraid that our kindness to you will make us drift apart?"
"It's not like that!" When Xu Xia Xia pointed this out directly, Wen Shu felt like a naked baby who had lost all her coverings, which made her very nervous.
"How could it not be like this! Yu Qianlin likes you so much and has been looking for you for so many years, but you let your damn inferiority complex control you!" Wen Shu's unwillingness to admit it made Xu Xia Xia completely angry, "Wen Shu, you actually don't have a heart, right? So you can't see other people's sincerity. Yu Qianlin has been thinking about you for so many years. You could have left without saying goodbye, but he tortured himself for six years because of your leaving without saying goodbye! If you are still hesitant like you are now, you might as well leave his life completely, so as not to give him hope and let him down in the end."
After saying this, she turned and left with red eyes.
What she hadn't said was that everyone blamed themselves for not rushing to her side to support her, and everyone thought they had abandoned her. But if Wen Shu couldn't even face her own heart, what was the point of her saying all this?
Every word Xu Xia Xia said pierced Wen Shu's heart. Was it inferiority complex?
Wen Shu couldn't answer himself.
She reached out and covered her heart, which was beating even harder than usual, as if something was about to lose control and burst out of her heart. She was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand.
After a while, Wen Shu gradually calmed down. She took out her cell phone and called Zuo Rang. Zuo Rang gave her his contact information as soon as he learned that Yu Qianlin and Wen Shu had reunited.
Zuo Rang was surprised: "Reviewing your studies?"
"Yes, it's me. I have a question for you."
"you say."
"I offended Xia Xia, how can I please her?"
Zuo Rang was speechless: "How should I know!"
Wen Shu smiled: "You like her so much, how could you not know?" There was silence on the other end of the phone. Wen Shu waited quietly. After a while, a voice came: "I will help you solve it! But you can't tell her!"
Wen Shu smiled and agreed: "Deal!"
It was obvious from reviewing lessons when they were in school that Zuo Rang had special feelings for Xu Xia Xia. When he mentioned them in a casual chat with Yu Qianlin before, Yu Qianlin said with contempt that Zuo Rang was useless and could never handle Xu Xia Xia. The two had quarreled over a trivial matter a while ago and swore to never have anything to do with each other again.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
After closing his phone, Wen Shu looked up at the scattered lights on the street and walked back, following his own shadow. Couples were leaning on each other on the street, and there was a sweet atmosphere everywhere.
She thought, it was really a lucky thing to like someone!
The situations in her youth were as vivid as a silent movie. There were too many unexpressed emotions. When she thought about them now, she suddenly realized that they were all things called "like", just like her and Yu Qianlin, Xu Xia Xia and Zuo Rang.
