The badminton hall has three floors. The first floor is for beginners, and the second floor is for advanced players. Occasionally, some small games will be held. The third floor is the VIP area. In addition to the court, there are also tea bars, massage rooms and sauna rooms.

As soon as you walk up to the third floor, you can smell a faint fragrance and listen carefully to the soothing sound of music, which is in stark contrast to the scene of sweating and shouting downstairs.

Qian Erbai refused the waiter's continued company, and walked towards the tea bar.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a man shouting angrily in the room: "How dare you speak hard! You didn't do anything and you followed our family to drag and pull downstairs?!"

Then a boy's voice sounded: "No, no ! ! As for why, why don't you ask your son?" It was Zhang Ming.

The man was furious and stood up abruptly, "How can you talk, you little bastard!" The steel chair legs slid across the ground, making a screeching sound, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".

Qian Erbai pushed open the door, knocked symbolically, and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Ming's elder brother."

Three men, one big, two young, and three men stood in the room, turning their heads in unison.

Zhang Ming glanced at Qian Erbai, lowered his head again, and whispered: "Sao Bao."

He was not wearing a hat today, and the hair on the side of his head was shaved very thinly, as if he was shaved in some shape .

The man suppressed his anger, bent down to lift up the stool, and said, "Mr. Lu came just in time, let's sit down and talk."

Qian Erbai walked in, sat opposite the man, Zhang Ming automatically walked to Qian Erbai's side, sat down silently keep silent.

Sitting next to the man was a boy who also bowed his head. His bangs covered his eyes, so he couldn't see clearly. His skin was white and transparent, and the tiny blood vessels under the skin could be faintly seen.

The man introduced himself: "I am Chen Jingfeng, and this is my son Chen Ran." He glanced at Zhang Ming and said coldly, "Same school as your brother."

"Oh?" Qian Erbai raised his eyebrows, looking more He glanced at the boy. They are also students of No. 2 Middle School, so it is impossible not to know themselves. He said: "Then what happened today?"

Chen Ran flinched, lowered her head even lower, and twisted twists with both hands under the table.

Chen Jingfeng suppressed his anger and asked, "Does Mr. Lu know that your younger brother is gay?"

Zhang Ming shouted, "I'm not! Don't slander me!" He was trembling with anger, staring at the man with red eyes.

Qian Erbai frowned, patted his arm, told him to be calm, then looked at Chen Jingfeng, and said calmly: "This is the first time I've heard of it, why did Mr. Chen say such a thing?"

Chen Jingfeng With a cold snort, he said: "Today he stalked my son all the way, and he was still teasing my son downstairs, talking about boyfriend, together! It's not gay, you stalker, little Rascal!"

Zhang Ming was about to curse violently when he heard the words, Qian Erbai held him down, "Mr. Chen is sure that what you know is the truth of the matter? Did you ask what the two children said?" His attitude also cooled down.

"This little bastard doesn't say anything when asked, and his mouth is very stubborn. I think he has a guilty conscience." Chen Jingfeng raised his eyebrows, and made up his mind to nail Zhang Ming to death on the charge of "hooliganism".

Qian Erbai sneered, and said: "Since I am Zhang Ming's elder brother, then I really don't want you, Mr. Chen, to describe my younger brother with words like hooligan and little bastard." He rested his chin on one hand and looked at Chen Ran , "Have you asked classmate Chen Ran the whole story?"

Chen Jingfeng said as a matter of course: "Is there any need to ask, why don't I understand my son?"

Chen Ran still lowered his head and clasped his hands, his shoulders tightly clamped his body, which is a typical expression of tension.

"Okay then," Qian Erbai didn't force Chen Ran anymore, he turned his head to look at Zhang Ming, his eyes were open and sincere, and said, "Zhang Ming, would you mind telling the truth about the matter?"

Zhang Ming was a little confused, But looking at Mr. Lu's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he felt that there was nothing to hide, and it wasn't his fault in the first place.

He looked across and saw Chen Jingfeng's disdain and anger, while Chen Ran lowered his head and said nothing, looking like a victim. He finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, just say it!"

Chen Ran trembled, but still did not raise her head. The air pressure in his body dropped suddenly, like the dark clouds accumulated in the sky before a thunderstorm night.

The truth of the matter was exactly the opposite of what Chen Jingfeng knew.

Zhang Ming didn't follow Chen Ran, but Chen Ran invited Zhang Ming to be a guest at home; the two were chatting downstairs, it wasn't Zhang Ming who was pestering Chen Ran, but Chen Ran suddenly confessed to Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming immediately refused and turned around Just as he was about to leave, Chen Ran grabbed Zhang Ming's arm and dragged him down the corridor. Those sentences that were heard by neighbors were indeed spoken by Zhang Ming, but the original words were "Being your boyfriend? Together? What kind of medicine did you take?

" Zhang Ming was convicted immediately. At that time, Chen Ran was so frightened by his father's sudden appearance that he just thought that he must not let his father know the truth, otherwise he would die. So with a sudden thought, he acquiesced to Chen Jingfeng's assumption and pretended to be frightened.

Chen Jingfeng was stunned.

He couldn't accept this dramatic reversal, he couldn't accept being cheated by his son, and he couldn't accept that the son he had placed high hopes on turned out to be a "pervert" who liked men.

His lips were trembling, his head was buzzing, and his eyes couldn't focus for a long time.

He looked at the two people on the opposite side and felt that they were laughing at him, laughing at him for being incapable of teaching his children, and laughing at him for lifting a rock and hitting his own foot.

He was very angry.

He was angry at why Zhang Ming didn't make it clear at the beginning, which made him lose face so much now; he also resented Lu Xian, he even felt that this issue was led by Lu Xian, just to see his jokes.

This is of course nonsense, the two did not know each other before. But this didn't stop him from venting his anger on others.

He stood up, put his hands on the table, curled his fingers, his knuckles were white, and his veins were bulging.

The muscles on his face trembled for a while, and finally turned into a yell, he raised a slap and slapped Chen Ran hard on the face, "Nizi!"

Chen Ran fell to the ground, turned his head, blood dripped from the corner of his lips, dripped on the floor.

He looked at the blood-colored flower, motionless and silent.

He is already dumbfounded. He didn't expect Chen Jingfeng to beat him outside.

Qian Erbai hurriedly stood up and walked over to check on Chen Ran's situation.

Before Chen Jingfeng calmed down, he raised his foot to kick Chen Ran. Qian Erbai raised his hand to block it, then lightly pushed it out, and put the thundering leg back on the ground.

This move moves a thousand catties in four or two, Qian Erbai did it like flowing clouds and flowing water. His complexion was as usual, and he seemed to be unharmed, except for the dust from the tip of his shoes on his clothes.

Chen Jingfeng was shocked, and looked at Qian Erbai with a complicated expression.

Qian Erbai helped Chen Ran up, turned sideways to block Chen Jingfeng's eyes that seemed to be eating people, and said, "Mr. Chen, please calm down."

Chen Jingfeng saw his son shrunk and hid behind Qian Erbai, and remembered what he had just heard, and couldn't help but think about it and get angrier.

But just now he was angry and confused, so he taught his son in front of outsiders, now that he has calmed down, he will naturally not do anything again. At least not here.

He took a deep breath, exhaled it heavily, and said to Qian Erbai: "I offended you just now, didn't I hurt you."

Qian Erbai had a half-smile, he shook his still numb arm, and said : "I am a big man and I still feel the pain is unbearable. If you kick Chen Ran with this kick..."

Chen Jingfeng said awkwardly: "I was too angry just now, I didn't think so much, I will apologize to you."

Qian Erbai said coldly: "It doesn't matter if I have a small injury, but classmate Chen Ran seems to be seriously injured." He pulled the child behind him out.

Chen Ran's right cheek was swollen high, with five red marks on it, and a cut at the corner of his mouth, looking very miserable.

He lowered his eyes, staring at the ground under his feet, his eyes were full of tears, and he blinked his eyes quickly, all of them stuck to his eyelashes, and not a single drop fell.

He didn't dare to touch the wound on his face, even if he just opened his mouth, the pain made his heart constrict. He didn't dare to breathe hard, so he could only inhale in small mouthfuls.

Chen Jingfeng also felt a little distressed, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to apologize to his son.

He thought: Isn't it a matter of course for Lao Tzu to discipline his son since ancient times? Which boy was never beaten as a child? Like when he was a child, he was often whipped by his father with a belt. Didn't he grow up so healthy and healthy?

Moreover, his son didn't like good girls, but he actually liked men, and he even gave up his face. He flirted with others on the street and was willing to be low. Isn't this sick or what? It's because of the foreign customs that they have been spoiled, so that they have such rebellious thoughts. It really disappointed him, and if he didn't care about it, he would cause a big disaster.

Thinking of this, he became more determined, and looked at Chen Ran with more cruel eyes.

Chen Ran flinched, feeling cold all over.

Qian Erbai didn't see Chen Jingfeng's expression, only saw him standing on the spot as if he was in deep thought, and said: "You can sit down and discuss everything, after all, beating people is not the solution to the problem."

Chen Jingfeng didn't think so, and didn't solve the problem , but relieved.

But he didn't show it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I'm causing trouble for Mr. Lu today, and there is also classmate Zhang. I was in a hurry and misunderstood this little classmate." He took out a VIP gold card from his wallet and put it on On the table, he said, "This is the annual card of Polar Studios, which is universal in the city. Just treat it as a little compensation for the little classmates."

He took out another business card and handed it to Qian Erbai, saying, "We don't even call it." We met, here is my business card, you can call this number anytime if you need it. But I hope you will never use me." On the

business card is written "Criminal Lawyer Chen Jingfeng", below is the contact number, work unit "Jingfeng Law Firm" is well-known in the Dutch market and has fought many classic lawsuits.

No wonder the name sounds familiar.

Qian Erbai finds it ironic that a lawyer who is familiar with criminal law has forgotten the existence of the "Law on the Protection of Minors", and an excellent lawyer who takes protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens as his own responsibility makes an exception only for his son?

And judging from his performance just now, he didn't look like a calm and calm lawyer at all, with a red face and fierce eyes, more like a beast boxer who signed a life and death certificate in an underground arena.

And Zhang Ming, his son Chen Ran, is the enemy he must defeat, or even kill.

Zhang Ming didn't even look at the card, rolled his eyes, and snorted heavily.

Chen Jingfeng's eyelids twitched, he suppressed his anger forcibly, stretched out his hand to pull Chen Ran up, turned around and walked out the door, and said, "Then I'll go first, I still have something to do at home."

Chen Ran hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Zhang Ming one.

Zhang Ming deliberately turned his head away from him, and the pattern on the side of his head was facing Chen Ran, which were two English letters - "MR".

Chen Ran suddenly broke free from Chen Jingfeng's restraint, and wanted to walk towards Zhang Ming, but Zhang Ming took a step back subconsciously.

Qian Erbai looked at the undisguised anger in Chen Jingfeng's eyes, and felt a little bad in his heart. He waved at Chen Ran and said, "If you want to go back to school, the teacher can just give you a ride." "

Chen Jingfeng looked over in surprise, and said: "Mr. Lu is a teacher?"

Qian Erbai still stared at Chen Ran, with an encouraging look in his eyes, and said: "Yes, I am the teaching director of No. 2 Middle School. Chen Ran, Do you want to go back to school?"

Chen Ran opened his mouth and finally accepted the kindness, but he did not accept Qian Erbai's proposal, he said: "Thank you Director Lu, I will not go back now, you can help me with the key to the dormitory I'll leave it to Lei Kai." He took out a key from his pocket, as naturally as if he had thought so from the beginning.

The key is decorated with a "Thunder Shazam" pendant. The only child superhero in DC.

Qian Erbai didn't persuade anymore, took the key, and said: "Okay, if you have anything else, call me."

Chen Ran nodded, and retreated to Chen Jingfeng's side.

Chen Jingfeng's attitude softened slightly.

Parents generally have a level of awe towards educators, especially Qian Erbai is also the dean of education.

For some people, this identity often means the shadow of childhood, so there is a natural suppression.

Coincidentally, Chen Jingfeng spent his high school days under the high-pressure rule of the dean. At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, even though the man opposite him was younger than him.

He smiled at Qian Erbai, and dragged Chen Ran downstairs.

Leaving the range of the director's aura, Chen Jingfeng came back to his senses and remembered something was wrong—didn't he say that he was Zhang Ming's brother at first, and how he became a teacher at the school later? It must have been made up to deceive him Bar?

He looked down at his son and asked, "Is that really your school teacher? Don't try to lie to me, today's matter is not over yet, don't punish yourself."

Chen Ran grinned and wanted to show a mocking smile, But he was immediately disfigured by the pain. He took a breath and replied, "I dare not. He is indeed the dean. He just arrived at the end of May."

Chen Jingfeng frowned. That Zhang Ming is the dean's younger brother. Could it be that his son Is it because of this that you have to post it upside down? What did he do at school that required this method? Still want to get some convenience?

I don't know if it's because he has been exposed to too many criminal cases, or because he has a natural distrust of his son, but Chen Jingfeng can't help thinking about things in a complicated way.

He looked at Chen Ran, not like looking at his blood-related son, but rather like looking at his employer, a "criminal suspect".

Seeing the father and son walking into the community, Qian Erbai sighed.

For children of Zhang Ming and Chen Ran's age, even an ordinary puppy love would still shock their parents and teachers, not to mention that Chen Ran also touched the "minefield" of homosexuality——

At this time, the country's understanding of homosexuality is still at the stage of just correcting "it is not a disease, but an innate attribute", but the behavior of homosexuality is still avoided, and even the creation of homosexual literature has been classified as Set in the category of "abnormal literature".

Even if the upper level is like this, the middle level must speculate that Shangyi will not promote it, and the lower level will still close their eyes and listen, pursuing the previous "guilty theory".

Chen Jingfeng, a middle-class man with a higher education, unexpectedly also has the idea that "homosexuality is pervert". It's hard to say whether he didn't understand it carefully, or whether he understood it but still held prejudices, but as a reference, it's not hard to guess what other people with low cultural literacy will think.

Qian Erbai couldn't persuade Chen Jingfeng to accept that his son was gay, he had no position.

In fact, the more thoughtful and capable people are like Chen Jingfeng, the harder it is for them to change their thinking unless they figure it out themselves.

Everyone has the freedom to think independently, Chen Jingfeng has the freedom to disagree, and Chen Ran also has the freedom to express. What Qian Erbai wanted to do, what he could do, was to fight for this right of free expression for Chen Ran.

He tried to do more, such as pulling Chen Ran away from danger temporarily. But Chen Ran insisted on his choice.

As for whether he was coerced or he had his own plans, Qian Erbai had no way of knowing.

He has done his best as a teacher, and there is nothing he can do next. I can only hope that the horrible scene just now was just Chen Jingfeng's impulse, not the norm.

Domestic violence is still a gray area in how to judge and how to deal with it when the law is not perfect.

And this country values ​​filial piety.

For a long time, while many parents regard their children as the continuation of their own lives, they also acquiesce that their children are the property of their parents, deny their children's independent personality, and believe that parents have absolute control over their children.

"A filial son is born under a stick", "Beating is a parent, scolding is love", "There is no wrong parent in the world"... Throughout the ages, people's attitude towards "stick education" can be seen from this.

Qian Erbai is powerless to change the status quo of society, and can only hope for the self-development and evolution of the world. But that might take a long time.

Perhaps, it's not impossible to do anything...

He stared at the scorching sun outside the window, his gaze gradually became firm.

On the way back, Qian Erbai carried Zhang Ming on his back.

Zhang Ming found a hat from nowhere and put it on his head.

Qian Erbai remembered the two letters on his head, and asked: "What do you mean by carving MR on your head?"

Zhang Mingweng said in a low voice: "It's not interesting. It's just for fun." He lowered his head and brushed mobile phone, I couldn't help but think of the look Chen Ran looked at him when he left, did he want to come over at that time? What did Chen Ran want to say to
