Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 257 Yuan Xudong wants to visit Song Enxi's home
After a long time, Yuan Xudong looked at Song Enxi, whose face was flushed, and said gently:
"Enxi, I'm sorry, I..."
"Prosecutor Yuan, I...I'm going back now. Good night!"
Before Yuan Xudong could finish, Song Enxi stood up in a panic and wanted to leave. Yuan Xudong quickly held her back and said:
"Enxi, wait a moment, I'll take you back!"
"No need, Prosecutor Yuan should go back and rest early!"
As Song Enxi spoke, she tried to break away from Yuan Xudong and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you...please let me go quickly. I want to go back!"
"I won't let go!"
"What?"
"I won't let go. I'm afraid that if I let go, I will never see you again!"
After that, without waiting for Song Enxi to speak, Yuan Xudong took out a fifty thousand won note from his wallet and put it on the table, then pulled Song Enxi away and said:
"Come on, I'll take you back!"
"Prosecutor Yuan, can you please let me go?"
“No!”
"You...how could you do this?"
"Why not?"
Yuan Xudong started jogging with Song Enxi, turned back and looked at her and smiled:
"I've already told you I'm a bad guy, but you still didn't believe me. Do you believe it now?"
"You...you bully me!"
"So what? Isn't it natural for bad people to bully good people?"
"You...I won't talk to you anymore!"
…
After sending Song Enxi downstairs, Yuan Xudong still held her right hand and said:
"Enxi, can I come to your house and sit for a while?"
"What?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's request, Song Enxi blushed and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, it's... so late. I'm going to go to bed right away. Can I invite you to my house next time?"
"not good!"
Yuan Xudong stroked his forehead and pretended to be dizzy:
"I have a headache and I feel carsick. It's all your fault for forcing me to drink. I have to sit down and rest for a while!"
"When did I ever force you to drink?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was playing tricks like a child, Song Enxi said angrily and amusedly :
"Prosecutor Yuan, I'm going back now. You can handle it yourself!"
After saying that, before Yuan Xudong could speak, Song Enxi broke away from him and turned to walk towards the apartment building where she rented. Before she could take two steps, Yuan Xudong suddenly hugged her from behind, resting his head on her shoulders, his hands around her waist, fingers clasped together, and said in a slightly vicissitudes and melancholy voice:
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while, it will be fine in a moment!"
Being held in Yuan Xudong's arms, Song Enxi's body was stiff. She didn't say yes or no, and the two of them stayed together quietly. After a while, Song Enxi struggled slightly and whispered:
"Prosecutor Yuan, I want to go back and rest. Are you...are you okay?"
"Enxi, you are so stingy, can't you let me hold you for a little longer?"
Yuan Xudong let go of Song Enxi and said happily:
"Forget it, that's all for today. I'm leaving now. Do your best tomorrow!"
"Well, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Yuan Xudong leave, Song Enxi walked back to her apartment building, put down her backpack, and lay down on the bed. She recalled Yuan Xudong pulling her safely down the escape passage, drinking at a roadside stall, kissing, hugging, etc. She couldn't help but smile, climbed out of bed, sat with her back against the huge Winnie the Pooh doll, took out her phone and sent a text message to Yuan Xudong:
"Prosecutor Yuan, I learned a lot today. Thank you so much. I will work harder in the future. Also, you will always be a good person in my heart. I will remember today. Finally, thank you for taking me away safely. Good night!"
After editing the message and clicking send, Song Enxi held the phone in her arms and smiled foolishly. The two shallow dimples on her lips showed that the owner was in a good mood. After a while, a message alert sounded, and Song Enxi quickly turned on the phone screen. It was a message from Yuan Xudong. She opened the message with great anticipation. There was a photo of a silk scarf and a sentence:
“Thank you for the gift, I love it!”
"What do you mean?"
Looking at the silk scarf used to cover her eyes in the photo, Song Eun-hee's lips curled up into a faint smile. Holding the mobile phone in her arms, she slid down from the Winnie the Pooh doll, rolled left and right on the bed, chuckling from time to time, her big watery eyes filled with smiles, and finally she held the huge Winnie the Pooh doll in her hands, resting her head on its arms and fell asleep quietly, with a happy and sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she was having a wonderful dream, which made the girl unable to stop smiling even in her sleep.
The next day, in Yuan Xudong's independent office in the Criminal Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
"Prosecutor Yuan, Prosecutor Yuan?"
Hearing Song Enxi's voice, Yuan Xudong looked up at her and said with a smile:
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's like this..."
Song Enxi looked at Yuan Xudong and explained in a low voice:
"Didn't you read the letter sent by Jin Chuyuan, the daughter of Gao Yangzi in the amusement park case? She asked you to help her teach her mother a lesson. I don't think that means she is asking for a severe punishment. Of course, a letter won't affect the sentencing document, but I think when considering the purpose of the punishment, wouldn't it be better to consider Jin Chuyuan's thoughts?"
After listening to Song Enxi, Yuan Xudong didn't quite understand what she wanted to express, so he asked:
"So, what you're saying is...?"
"Prosecutor Yuan, I don't mean to interfere in other people's affairs!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Song Enxi lowered his head, clasped his hands together and whispered:
"I want to go to the school for the blind to see Jin Chuyuan and learn about the actual situation. If I want her mother to not commit the same crime again in the future, I don't know what kind of sentence I should give. If the sentence is too heavy and the fine is too high, I am worried that it will affect their lives. But if the sentence is too light and the fine is too small, I am worried that she will make the same mistake again in the future. Prosecutor Yuan, what do you think I should do?"
“Let’s go and have a look!”
"What?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the school for the blind to see Jin Chuyuan?"
Yuan Xudong stood up from behind his desk and said:
"Come on, I'll go with you. For children, especially those with disabilities, they actually know that they are different from normal people. When their mothers quarrel with others because of them, they will get angry with their mothers and throw tantrums, but they will be polite to strangers. How should I put it? Most people tend to hurt those who truly care about them.
The same is true in reverse. Being hurt by my mother once is more painful than being hurt by others a hundred times. Every time my mother quarrels with others, she is actually reminding me that I am a disabled person. In the eyes of others, I am a disabled person. In my mother's eyes, I am also a disabled person who needs special treatment from others. This is probably what Jin Chuyuan thinks.
On the one hand, I hate my mother for quarreling with others because of me, but on the other hand, I depend on her. This contradictory psychology must be very painful. It is better to say that I hate myself with a disability rather than hating my mother.
Sometimes, people who are dragged down by others can have no regrets, but it is difficult for people who drag down others to feel at ease, even if that person is their own mother. Such people are often psychologically fragile and overreact to external stimuli. They may get angry and lose their temper over the slightest thing. They will keep whatever is in their hearts in their hearts and will only put on a protective color for themselves outside, or try to please others, or make unreasonable troubles, etc. It depends on the person. "
Yuan Xudong said as he walked out of the office. Song Enxi followed him and said with a smile:
"Prosecutor Yuan, did you study psychology when you were in college?"
"No!"
"Then how do you know what Jin Chuyuan is thinking?"
"Because... I used to be like her, very inferior, but her protective color was to lose her temper with her mother, while mine was to pretend that I didn't care about anything and acted carefree all day long."
"self-abasement?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say that he was inferior, Song Enxi couldn't believe it and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you are a top student in the law department of Seoul University. You ranked first in the country in the judicial examination and even graduated from the Judicial Research Institute with first place. You are such a good student with such an excellent resume. Is there anything you can be ashamed of?"
After that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to speak, Song Enxi smiled and said:
"Can you please teach me the secret of studying? How can I become the best in the country?"
"Hard work, talent, and a little bit of luck!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Talent and luck are variables we cannot control. Hard work is the only constant we can determine. Generally speaking, people who work hard tend to have good luck. Since middle school, I have never gone to bed before 12 o'clock at night. I don't watch TV or play football. Except for eating, sleeping and exercising, I spend all my time studying. Passing the judicial examination depends on strength, and getting the first place in the country depends on luck. Since you have entered the Judicial Research Institute and are interning at the Central District Procuratorate, you should be doing well in your studies, right?"
"good!"
Song Enxi smiled and said modestly:
"I occasionally took first place in the school and was in the top 50 in the country in the judicial examination."
“Very impressive!”
Yuan Xudong looked at Song Enxi and smiled:
"After graduating from the Judicial Training Institute, you can become a prosecutor, a judge, or a lawyer. Why do you want to be a prosecutor?"
Song Enxi thought for a while and smiled:
"I actually wanted to be a killer, but if I did that, I would have to be able to fight, and I would have to be proficient in using swords, spears, halberds, explosives, etc. Where can I learn these things? So I just went to study. After all, it's something I've always done, and it's relatively simple. As for why I want to be a prosecutor, it's because I want to catch all the bad guys, make them accept the punishment of the law, and make them pay the price for their crimes!"
"Killer?"
Unexpectedly, Song Enxi had such an idea. Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Enxi, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Are you really a killer on the dark web?"
"Yes, I am the top-ranked assassin on the dark web. Are you scared?"
Song Eun-hee said as she walked, making several fighting poses with her hands.
"Frightened, absolutely terribly scared!"
…
While chatting and laughing, Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi walked out of the Central District Prosecutor's Office Building, hailed a taxi and started heading to the Qingguang School for the Blind where Jin Chuyuan studied. About thirty minutes later, they arrived at their destination. Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi got out of the car and walked towards the campus.
At the same time, at the gate of Qingguang Blind School, Jin Chuyuan was walking in front with a cane. Gao Yangzi, who was lagging behind, caught up and said:
"Chu Yuan, I was so worried. Why did you come out alone without telling me?"
"Didn't I say I would never go out with Mom again?"
"I understand. Mommy will never quarrel with anyone again, okay?"
"Why bother? Just live like that, quarreling and throwing tantrums all day long!"
"I've already told you I know!"
"Don't follow me!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gao Yangzi to speak, Jin Chuyuan walked hurriedly towards the campus with her cane. After taking two steps, Gao Yangzi, who was following her, quickly supported her and said:
"Chu Yuan, you need to walk slower!"
"Don't help me!"
Shaking off Gao Yangzi's hands, Jin Chuyuan said excitedly:
"Every time you do this, I feel like I'm really disabled. I don't want this, you know?"
Hearing her daughter say this, Gao Yangzi was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, Jin Chuyuan had already walked to the school gate. At this moment, a middle-aged man rushed out of the campus on a bicycle. Jin Chuyuan was still walking forward. Gao Yangzi, who was behind her, rushed up and pulled her back. The middle-aged man rode his bicycle past the mother and daughter, leaving only an apology:
"sorry!"
"Hey, can you ride a bike? Where are you going? Come back here, you guy, you are really..."
Seeing the middle-aged man who almost hit his daughter riding away on his bicycle, Gao Yangzi stood at the school gate, pointed at his back and cursed. Jin Chuyuan heard his mother's tantrum and couldn't help but break down:
"I told you not to do this, not to do this, not to do this..."
"Chu Yuan, mom is worried about you, please don't be like this, okay?"
"I don't want you to worry about me, no, just go back and don't follow me!"
Wiping away her tears, Jin Chuyuan walked towards the campus with her cane. Gao Yangzi followed her from a distance, silently guarding her daughter. Not far away, Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi stood together and witnessed the whole incident. Song Enxi's eyes were red and she said with a sad voice:
"I've always thought I left something behind, but I didn't realize it. But now I know. Prosecutor Yuan, let's go and talk to Jin Chuyuan and her mother!"
"Okay, let's go!"
…
Qingguang School for the Blind Library.
"Pessimists never discovered the secrets of the stars, nor explored unmapped continents, nor opened new heavens for the soul. Optimists..."
Jin Chuyuan was sitting at the desk, reading a thick Braille book, when Song Enxi and Yuan Xudong walked over. Hearing footsteps, Jin Chuyuan looked up at Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi who had already walked to his side, and said in a ethereal voice:
"Who are you and what's going on?"
Song Eun-hee lay on the desk, propped up her chin with both hands, looked at Jin Chu-yuan and said with a smile:
"Are you Chu Yuan?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Well, let me ask you, do you like hamburgers?"
"Like, who are you and why are you asking?"
"That's good, because I like burgers, too!"
Song Eun-hee looked at Jin Chu-yuan and smiled:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Song Enxi, and I'm an intern prosecutor. The person next to me is Prosecutor Yuan. He's a formal prosecutor and also my supervisor. You wrote him a letter, remember?"
"Remember!"
Nodding slightly, Jin Chuyuan looked at Song Enxi and Yuan Xudong and said:
"Are you going to ask about my mother's case?"
