Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 258 Enxi, why are you not behaving well today?
"Yes and no, Chu Yuan, can I buy you a burger?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing serious, I just want to treat you to a delicious burger, okay?"
"Okay, wait for me!"
"good!"
Jin Chuyuan stood up from his seat, walked towards the bookshelf with his cane, put the Braille book in his hand back on the bookshelf, then walked towards Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi and whispered:
"Okay, that's enough, let's go!"
"good!"
…
On campus, under the shade of a tree, Song Eun-xi and Jin Chu-yuan sat side by side on a bench. Yuan Xudong bought hamburgers and Coke and brought them over.
"Great, thank you Prosecutor Yuan!"
"You're welcome. Eat it. It's a freshly made hamburger. It's still hot!"
"Thank you, Prosecutor Yuan!"
Song Eun-hee and Jin Chu-yuan sat side by side on a bench, a short distance between them. On the bench were opened fast food boxes and two small cups of Coca-Cola. Jin Chu-yuan took a hamburger in both hands and ate it in small bites. At the same time, he looked at Song Eun-hee and asked softly:
"So the trainee prosecutor is not yet a formal prosecutor, right?"
"Yes, like you, I am still a student!"
Song Eun-hee answered Jin Chuyuan while drinking Coke and eating a hamburger.
"Since you are with Prosecutor Yuan, it means you have power. Can you please give my mother a lighter fine?"
Jin Chuyuan took a small bite of the hamburger and said softly:
"Although my father gave us child support and my mother worked, our family was not very rich."
"Chu Yuan, didn't you write a letter asking us to teach your mother a lesson?"
Song Eun-hee put down the hamburger and Coke, looked at Jin Chu-yuan and said with a smile:
"Do you really hate Mom that much?"
"Actually, Mom has always been mad at me!"
"What?"
Song Enxi shook her head slightly, somewhat disagreeing:
"I think she loves you very much and is not angry with you at all. Why do you think so?"
After a brief pause, Jin Chuyuan said calmly:
"She was mad at me, but she felt sorry for me, so she couldn't get mad at me. In the end, she kept finding someone else to get mad at, and then she kept telling me that it was all because of me. It was so annoying!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
"It was all caused by my birth. Even my father couldn't stand it and ran away from home and started a new family with someone else. I have nothing to say!"
Seeing that Jin Chuyuan was unwilling to say more, Song Enxi smiled and said:
"Can I tell you my sister's story?"
"good!"
Jin Chuyuan nodded slightly.
"My mother...she went to a very far place..."
"Is she dead?"
"What?"
Unexpectedly, Jin Chuyuan would say this. Song Enxi slightly widened her eyes and said:
"Chu Yuan, why do you ask this?"
"From your tone of voice, and from your statement that she went to a very far place, doesn't a very far place usually refer to heaven?"
Jin Chuyuan said as a matter of course.
"No, she is not dead. She is doing well in Singapore!"
"Singapore?"
Jin Chuyuan thought for a moment and said:
"Did your mother go there alone? Sister, why didn't you go? Did she not want you?"
"No, my mother didn't abandon me!"
"Why is that?"
Song Enxi recalled and said in a low voice:
"A long time ago, my sister...had an accident, so she was badly injured, and I thought my parents would fight with the person who caused the accident..."
"Didn't they fight?"
"Well, there was no fight and no one was hurt, but they said it was all my sister's fault, that it was too embarrassing for my sister to be sick, so they had to live abroad, and then they left..."
"How annoying!"
“I thought that before, but now I think it’s okay!”
"Why?"
"My sister was hurt, and my mother must be in pain too, but I hate her for being like that because I think my mother shouldn't be in pain, so I got angry with her many times. Maybe it was me who made her leave here..."
"I don't understand what you mean..."
"I regret it sometimes. Can't I do something else besides getting angry?"
"You mean, this is all my fault?"
"No, that's not what I meant!"
"What does that mean?"
Jin Chuyuan put down the hamburger, looked up at Song Eunxi and said loudly:
"Aren't you just going to say that this happened because I got angry with my mother?"
Seeing Jin Chuyuan becoming excited, Song Enxi quickly explained:
"Chu Yuan, you know that's not what I meant!"
"That's what I heard!"
Jin Chuyuan stood up from the bench, pointed his cane and prepared to leave:
"I have something else to do so I'll leave first. Thanks for the burger!"
"Chu Yuan..."
Seeing Jin Chuyuan and Song Enxi quarreling, Yuan Xudong walked over and said:
"Jin Chuyuan, your mother is nearby. I talked to her for a while. Considering that she has committed crimes repeatedly, including this amusement park case, she has six criminal records. Didn't you write to me and ask me to teach her a lesson?"
As Yuan Xudong spoke, he waved to Gao Yangzi, Jin Chuyuan's mother, who was hiding not far away. Gao Yangzi ran over and first glanced at her daughter Jin Chuyuan, then looked at Yuan Xudong and said flatteringly:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you called me?"
"Gao Yangzi, why are you making trouble?"
Yuan Xudong said impatiently:
"It's not just once or twice, why do you always make trouble?"
"I'm sorry, Prosecutor Yuan, I know I was wrong, I will never quarrel with others again..."
“How many times has this happened?”
Looking at Gao Yangzi who kept bowing and apologizing to him, Yuan Xudong continued to lecture her:
"Aren't you ashamed to do this in front of your daughter?"
"I'm sorry, Prosecutor Yuan, I'm really sorry..."
"You are not sorry to me, you are sorry to the victim and your daughter!"
After looking at Jin Chuyuan, Yuan Xudong continued to criticize Gao Yangzi:
"It's a good thing to fight against unfair treatment. If you think it's justice, you should fight it with just means, instead of getting angry and quarreling with others. That's not justice, right?"
"Yes, Prosecutor Yuan is right. I was wrong. I shouldn't have gotten into a fight with someone..."
"It's good to know you're wrong!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Gao Yangzi, who was about twenty years older than him, and continued:
"The student working part-time is only a few years older than your daughter. What did he do wrong? He was just following the safety regulations of the amusement park. If your daughter was doing her job honestly and was pushed down by an unreasonable customer and broke her leg, do you know how sad you as a parent would be?"
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I'm really sorry..."
"What's the point of just saying sorry?"
Yuan Xudong still did not let Gao Yangzi go and said:
"He is still lying in the hospital, unable to study or work, and has to pay for his medical and living expenses. Is it easy for him as a college student from another place? I have done an emergency evacuation drill on a roller coaster, it was very scary, okay? Safety education should be spread and implemented regardless of whether you are disabled or not, you know?"
"I really know I was wrong. I'm sorry, Prosecutor Yuan. I won't do it again next time..."
"Please, this is the sixth time, and each time it's getting more serious than the last. At the beginning, it was just a quarrel, but now he has broken his leg. What are you going to do next? Are you going to kill him to silence him and then go to jail?"
Yuan Xudong said sternly:
"Create more good memories with your daughter and don't cause any more trouble. Remember?"
"Remember, thank you Prosecutor Yuan, I will never cause trouble again, I..."
"What's the point of just remembering? In the previous five times, you should have said every time that you remembered and would not commit the same crime again, right? Let me tell you, I have seen many repeat offenders like you. You regret not because you remembered and knew you did something wrong, but because you were afraid that the prosecutor in charge would punish you severely, right?"
"Prosecutor Yuan!"
Jin Chuyuan on the side looked at Yuan Xudong and said loudly:
"Stop scolding my mom!"
"Mother?"
Yuan Xudong looked at Jin Chuyuan and said with a smile:
"Are you Jin Chuyuan?"
"yes!"
"Is this the letter you wrote to me?"
"yes!"
"Did the letter say that you wanted me to teach your mother a lesson?"
"Yes, but..."
"But what?"
Before Jin Chuyuan could finish, Yuan Xudong interrupted her and said:
"Don't you hate your mother? Didn't you ask me to teach her a lesson?"
"I don't hate mom!"
Jin Chuyuan was very excited and said loudly:
"Please don't do that!"
"You asked me to teach her a lesson?"
“Not now!”
"Why do you do this and that? Why should I listen to you?"
"Don't teach her a lesson anymore!"
Jin Chuyuan's eyes were red as she shouted loudly, tears dripping down her face onto her school uniform. After a short pause, she choked up and said:
"Prosecutor Yuan, I beg you, she is my mother!"
Seeing his daughter talking loudly to Yuan Xudong and crying, Gao Yangzi, who was standing by, felt distressed and worried.
"Chu Yuan, don't be like this. You need to talk to Prosecutor Yuan nicely, okay?"
"Got it. I won't train you anymore. Okay?"
Seeing Jin Chuyuan with red eyes and tears streaming down his face, Yuan Xudong felt a little distressed, but he pretended to be relaxed and said:
"Really? Little girls nowadays are so willful. They do whatever they want. They are not cute at all. They cry all the time. They need to be strong, okay? Like me, I have never cried once since I was a child. Isn't that amazing?"
"Never cried once?"
Jin Chuyuan shrugged his nose, sobbed twice, and said in a choked voice:
"Isn't that… pathetic?"
"Uh, why pity?"
"because……"
After a brief pause, Jin Chuyuan looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"I've never cried since I was a child. Is it because I can't cry, or do I not know who I should cry to?"
"Really? It's really not cute at all!"
Without answering Jin Chuyuan's question, Yuan Xudong looked at Gao Yangzi standing beside him and waved his hand to dismiss him:
"Okay, that's all for today. Regarding the amusement park case, the other party does not intend to sue, but chooses to settle privately. The amusement park will compensate part of the medical expenses and living expenses. As for you, you have to pay 3 million won. If it happens again, I..."
Before Yuan Xudong could finish, Gao Yangzi, who was standing beside him, bowed and thanked him:
"No, no, I won't dare to do it again next time. Thank you, Prosecutor Yuan, thank you so much!"
"I hope so!"
Yuan Xudong asked Song Enxi to leave, and after walking a few steps, he walked back to Jin Chuyuan, took out a recording pen from his pocket and put it in her hand, encouraging her:
"I heard that you want to be a novelist. This recorder is for you. What I want to say is that nothing is difficult in this world if you set your mind to it. What doesn't defeat us will only make us stronger. Hardships and difficulties will make you successful. Come on!"
“Hmm~~”
Taking the recorder in his hand, Jin Chuyuan looked at Yuan Xudong, nodded slightly and smiled:
"Prosecutor Yuan, thank you, you are a good person!"
“Actually, I want to be a bad guy!”
"ah?"
…
Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi left Qingguang School for the Blind. Jin Chuyuan and Gao Yangzi sat side by side on the original bench. Gao Yangzi held Jin Chuyuan's hands and said with a smile:
"Chu Yuan, I'm so scared. Don't act like that to the prosecutor next time, or you'll be arrested!"
"Wouldn't it be fine if you just don't quarrel with others next time?"
"I know!"
"You always say you know it, but you always do it again!"
"I'm serious, I promise!"
"Tsk, you promised me before, okay?"
"This time is different. In the past, we just had a few arguments, but this time, I caused someone to break his leg. Mom has been very scared these days. On the one hand, I feel sorry for him, and on the other hand, if I really go to jail, what will happen to our Chu Yuan?"
Hearing Gao Yangzi's words, Jin Chuyuan hesitated for a moment and spoke out his true feelings:
"Mom, I was born without sin, right?"
"Of course!"
Gao Yangzi held Jin Chuyuan's hands and said with a hint of tears:
"Mom has never thought that it is a sin. Chu Yuan, Mom doesn't care about anything else but you, do you know that?"
After a short silence , Jin Chuyuan said softly:
"You know I think about this every day, right?"
"I know...but Chu Yuan..."
"I just thought about it again. I think it's a good thing that I was born because I met my mother. I will no longer think that my birth is a sin. So please don't quarrel with others because of me, okay?"
"Um!"
Looking at her daughter who had suddenly become sensible, Gao Yangzi's eyes became red and tears flowed uncontrollably. She quickly wiped her eyes, held back her sobs, and hummed softly, obviously not wanting her daughter to hear her crying.
Jin Chuyuan on the side continued to laugh:
"Your daughter is so capable, why would she quarrel with others? Just ignore them from now on, got it?"
"Okay, got it!"
After wiping away his tears, Gao Yangzi stroked Jin Chuyuan's hair and said happily:
"Mom has made a promise with you that I won't quarrel with others anymore. My daughter is so amazing, they can't even envy her enough!"
"Don't touch me, my hair will get messy!"
"Just touch it, just touch it!"
"Really? You're like a little kid. I told you to stop touching me!"
"Our Chu Yuan is so cute!"
…
Outside the campus, Yuan Xudong and Song Enxi walked side by side. There was no bus stop or taxi nearby, so they had to walk a distance to get one. After taking a look at Yuan Xudong, who looked calm, Song Enxi suddenly trotted in front of him, put her hands behind her back, and walked backwards while looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Prosecutor Yuan, have you really never cried since you were a child?"
"How should I know?"
"well?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would say this. Song Enxi widened her eyes slightly and said:
"Didn't you just say that?"
"You must have heard it wrong!"
Yuan Xudong said confidently:
"How is it possible that someone has never cried since childhood? Isn't that too pitiful?"
"well?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was trying to get away with it by making jokes again, Song Enxi bent down slightly, looked up at him, squinted her eyes and smiled:
"Why does this sentence sound so familiar? Who said it?"
"Okay, I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards!"
Yuan Xudong stopped, put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said in a proud voice:
"Men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't been deeply saddened. I have always been the one who hurt others. I really hope someone can hurt me so that I can experience what it feels like to cry bitterly!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong pretending to be carefree, thinking of what he had said before, and the rumors in the office that he was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, Song Enxi felt her heart ache inexplicably. Driven by maternal instinct, she walked up to Yuan Xudong, took the initiative to hug him, and said in a gentle voice:
"Prosecutor Yuan, don't be like this. No one will want to hurt you. I will protect you from now on!"
What is going on?
Yuan Xudong was a little confused, thinking to himself, do I look like a man who needs a woman's protection?
It would be better to change "protect" to "care"!
With his mind full of random thoughts, Yuan Xudong took control of the situation. He held Song Enxi in his arms, tightened his arms, and then kissed her red lips. After a long time, Yuan Xudong looked at Song Enxi, who was panting and blushing, and stroked her light pink lips with his right hand and smiled softly:
"Enxi, why are you so naughty today?"
"What?"
Song Enxi turned her head away embarrassedly, trying to change the subject:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you did a good job today. What can change a mother may not be the law, but the blood bond between a daughter and her mother, and vice versa. I went to see Jin Chuyuan just to talk about her mother, but before I even said it, she didn't want to listen. Or did you have a way to deliberately stimulate her? But it's really strange. When she talked about her mother, she suddenly wanted to see her mother, even though she wasn't in that mood the last second. Is this the bond of family affection?"
"I didn't think that much!"
Yuan Xudong hugged Song Enxi and smiled, then whispered in her ear:
"Besides the deep affection between a mother and her child, there is also the love that lasts till death. Enxi, are you willing to date me?"
"ah?"
